Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ultrasonic equipment used for experiments, in particular to an ultrasonic equipment used for experiments. Background Art

[0002] During the ultrasound biological effect test, in order to evaluate the effect of ultrasound on cells and other biological tissues, an ultrasonic transducer is usually used to transmit ultrasound and irradiate cells and other biological tissues, and finally the ultrasound effect is evaluated by observing the changes in cells and other biological tissues caused by ultrasound.

[0003] Ultrasound can cause transient hyperthermia, cavitation, mechanical, and sonication in biological tissues, rupturing cell and nuclear membranes and causing protein coagulation. Ultrasound emitted by a transducer sequentially passes through an ultrasonic conductive medium (water or an ultrasonic coupling agent) and irradiates cells and other biological tissues. During experiments, varying ultrasound incident frequencies lead to variations in ultrasound transmission into biological tissues. Simultaneously, the resulting transient hyperthermia can heat up the water environment. Existing ultrasonic transducers used in biological research lack cooling mechanisms, leading to heat accumulation over extended periods of operation. This can overheat the cells and cause them to die.

[0004] In addition, the transducer chips in the existing ultrasonic transducers used for biological experimental research are fixed, so the transducer chips cannot be replaced and reassembled, which cannot meet the needs of diverse comparative experiments. Utility Model Content

[0038] This embodiment packages the wafer 17 into an independent wafer assembly 11, which independently stores transducer identification information and technical parameters such as acoustic-to-electrical conversion efficiency. When conducting different comparative tests or when wafer 17 needs to be replaced, the wafer assembly 11 can be quickly removed from the tank 4, enabling the rapid replacement of individual wafer assemblies 11 and enabling comparative and reference testing.

[0039] In one embodiment, Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the tank body 4 includes a shell 15 and a water storage frame 14 arranged on the top of the shell 15.

The water storage frame 14 is made of transparent material, which is convenient for observing the test status. The mounting position 151 is a through hole that runs through the thickness direction of the top of the shell 15, so that the top of the chip assembly 11 can contact the water in the water storage frame 14. In order to ensure the normal operation of the chip assembly 11, the chip assembly 11 is provided with a sealing structure to prevent water from entering the chip assembly 11.

[0040] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 10As shown, the ultrasonic equipment used in the experiment also includes a circulating water circuit assembly for controlling the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 1.

[0041] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the circulating water circuit assembly includes a water tank 33, a drive member 31, a heat exchanger 34, and a pipeline 32.

Providing two culture dish mounting racks improves the stability of the culture dishes.

[0046] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, grooves are provided at the bottom of both ends of the culture dish mounting frame, and the culture dish mounting frame is clamped on the water storage frame 14 by matching the grooves with the top of the water storage frame 14.

[0047] In one embodiment, Figure 11 As shown, the culture dish mounting assembly 16 may include a circular mounting frame having four legs, and the four legs are respectively clamped on the tops of the four sides of the water storage frame 14.

[0048] In one embodiment, the assembly housing is detachably mounted at the mounting location using fasteners such as bolts.

[0049] In one embodiment, Figure 9 As shown, a hub 13 is provided in the tank 4 for connecting the various chip assemblies 11 together. The hub 13 is used to connect the various chip assemblies 11 to the host 2. The arrangement of the hub 13 facilitates the storage of the wiring harness of the chip assembly 11, saves space, and prevents the wiring harness from being cluttered and affecting the connection with the host 2.

[0050] In one embodiment, a quick-plug interface is provided on the component housing, which enables the wafer component 11 to be plug-and-play, facilitates the installation of the wafer component 11, and improves the efficiency of the installation of the wafer component 11.

[0051] During use, water is first poured into the ultrasonic transducer 1's tank 4 to create a water environment. The culture dish mounting assembly 16 is then placed atop the water storage frame 14, ensuring that the wafer 17 is aligned with the dish's tank after installation. The ultrasonic transducer 1 is then activated, and the ultrasonic waves it emits travel through the water, irradiating the cells and other biological tissues in the dish.
