Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an ultrasonic probe laser emitting device. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasound-guided puncture technology is a practical technology with extremely wide applications. Freehand puncture is the most important technical means for puncturing superficial tissues or superficial organs. Ultrasound-guided freehand puncture is a puncture technique that does not use a puncture stand. In this technique, the puncture needle is separated from the ultrasound probe, and the ultrasound probe can be moved at will to display the lesion, and the puncture needle can be punctured at any angle. In addition, for some parts with more complex structures, such as the thyroid gland, narrow joint cavities, and nerve blocks in complex areas, the path of the puncture needle needs to be adjusted at any time during the needle insertion process. In the above cases, it is generally not recommended to use a puncture stand with a fixed path to avoid limiting the adjustment of the puncture needle. Ultrasound-guided freehand puncture is suitable for biopsy and fluid extraction, arteriovenous puncture, nerve block, and other processes of various superficial lesions. The ultrasound-guided in-plane puncture method has become the first choice of most physicians due to its complete needle track display and high puncture accuracy.
[0003] However, in-plane freehand puncture requires that the needle tract is completely within the ultrasonic scanning plane during puncture. If the needle tip and needle tract are slightly tilted, they cannot be displayed, which greatly troubles the operating physician. The operating physician has to repeatedly adjust the position and angle of the puncture needle to better display the needle tract. Especially for beginners, they have to repeatedly adjust the position and angle to ensure that the puncture needle tract is within the plane. This not only increases the inspection time, but also increases the failure rate of the operation. In-plane freehand puncture under ultrasound guidance requires ultrasound doctors to have more clinical experience, and the accuracy is also limited. For beginners, they can only perform certain freehand operations on superficial tissue structures or larger lesions. For parts with more complex structures, a lot of training and great patience are required. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a medical device that is easy for doctors to operate and can quickly and accurately complete freehand puncture of superficial tissues and / or superficial organs in the ultrasonic plane.

[0034] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 2 The present invention describes an ultrasonic probe laser emitting device, which comprises a ring-shaped bracket 1 and a laser emitter 2 .
[0035] The ring bracket 1 is used to be mounted on the ultrasound probe housing. The ring bracket 1 includes: a first bracket 11, a second bracket 12, and a locking unit 13. One end of the first bracket 11 is hinged to one end of the second bracket 12, and the other end of the second bracket 12 is hinged to the locking unit 13. The other end of the first bracket 11 has a locking mating portion, and the locking unit 13 can be locked with the locking mating portion. The laser emitter 2 is fixed to the ring bracket 1.
[0036] Preferably, the laser emitter 2 is fixed at the center line of the annular bracket 1 along the thickness direction. Of course, according to actual needs, the installation position of the laser emitter 2 can also be adjusted to ensure that the emitted laser completely coincides with the scanning plane.
[0037] During the specific implementation of the present invention, the annular bracket 1 is mounted on the slots at both ends of the ultrasonic probe housing, the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are attached to the outer wall of the ultrasonic probe housing, and the locking unit 13 is connected to the locking fitting portion to ensure that the annular bracket 1 is stably mounted on the ultrasonic probe housing and can be moved accordingly. The laser emitter 2 is turned on. Since it is installed at the midline of the annular bracket 1 along the thickness direction, a laser line that completely coincides with the scanning plane appears. This laser line allows the physician to quickly and accurately determine the position of the scanning plane, providing guidance for determining the puncture position and effectively ensuring that the needle tract is completely within the ultrasonic scanning plane during manual puncture within the plane.
[0038] Specifically, the locking unit 13 and the locking mating portion can switch between a locked state and a free state. When the two are in the free state, the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 can be removed from the ultrasonic probe housing. When the two are in the locked state, the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are locked and fixed to the ultrasonic probe housing.
[0039] The present invention provides an ultrasound probe laser emitting device, comprising: an annular bracket 1 and a laser emitter 2. The annular bracket 1 is adapted to be mounted on an ultrasound probe housing. The annular bracket 1 comprises: a first bracket 11, a second bracket 12, and a locking unit 13. One end of the first bracket 11 is hingedly connected to one end of the second bracket 12, and the other end of the second bracket 12 is hingedly connected to the locking unit 13. The other end of the first bracket 11 has a locking mating portion, and the locking unit 13 can be locked with the locking mating portion. The laser emitter 2 is fixed at the midline of the annular bracket 1 along the thickness direction. The present invention provides an ultrasound probe laser emitting device, wherein the laser emitter 2 is mounted at the midline of the annular bracket 1 along the thickness direction and moves with the ultrasound probe, thereby generating a laser line that completely coincides with the scanning plane. This laser line allows physicians to quickly and accurately determine the position of the scanning plane, providing guidance for determining the puncture position. It can effectively ensure that the needle tract is completely within the ultrasound scanning plane during manual puncture within the plane, thereby improving efficiency.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the locking mating portion is a through hole 111 formed at the other end of the first bracket 11; the locking unit 13 includes a connecting rod 131 and a latch 132. One end of the connecting rod 131 is hinged to the other end of the second bracket 12, and the other end of the connecting rod 131 can be rotated and moved into the through hole 111; the latch 132 is provided at the other end of the connecting rod 131, and when the other end of the connecting rod 131 is rotated and moved into the through hole 111, the latch 132 can be engaged with the through hole 111. In this embodiment, the locking unit 13 is composed of the connecting rod 131 and the latch 132, and the locking mating portion that cooperates with them adopts a through hole 111 structure. The connecting rod 131 can be moved by toggling it, so that it can be moved into or out of the through hole 111. When the connecting rod 131 moves into the through hole 111, the snap fitting 132 at its end can be used to form a snap fit with the through hole 111 to achieve a locking fit between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12, ensuring that it is stably mounted on the ultrasonic probe housing.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the other end of the connecting rod 131 is formed with an external thread; the outer diameter of the latch 132 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 111, and the latch 132 is formed with an internal thread for threaded connection with the other end of the connecting rod 131. Through the threaded connection between the latch 132 and the connecting rod 131, the position of the latch 132 along the length of the connecting rod 131 can be adjusted. When the connecting rod 131 moves to the through hole 111, the latch 132 is rotated to lock it to the outside of the through hole 111, thereby achieving a snap fit with the through hole 111. When it is necessary to release the locking unit 13, the latch 132 is rotated in the opposite direction and the connecting rod 131 is removed from the through hole 111.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasound probe laser emitting device includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. One end of a first bracket 11 is hingedly connected to one end of a second bracket 12 via the first rotating shaft; the other end of the second bracket 12 is hingedly connected to a locking unit 13 via the second rotating shaft. In this embodiment, the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are hingedly connected via the first rotating shaft, while the second bracket 12 and the locking unit 13 are hingedly connected via the second rotating shaft.
[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasonic probe laser emitting device further includes: a first elastic pad 41 and a second elastic pad 42, wherein the first elastic pad 41 is disposed on the inner wall of the first bracket 11, and the second elastic member is disposed on the inner wall of the second bracket 12. By disposing the elastic pads on the inner walls of the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12, the elastic pads can be pressed against the ultrasonic probe housing when the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are locked.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first elastic pad 41 and the second elastic pad 42 are arranged opposite to each other, which can ensure that the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are relatively stably attached to the two sides of the ultrasound probe housing.
[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasonic probe laser emitting device further includes: a clamp 3, which is provided at one end of the annular bracket 1 and is sleeved on the outside of the laser emitter 2. The clamp 3 is used to stably clamp the laser emitter 2 so that the laser emitter 2 emits laser along the long axis direction of the ultrasonic probe, which completely coincides with the scanning plane.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the laser emitter 2 has an inline laser emitter head, and the inline laser light extends along the long axis of the ultrasound probe and completely coincides with the scanning plane.
