[0086] The measuring device 100 includes a fixing component and a lifting and lowering adjustment component 180 , wherein the fixing component is connected to the ultrasonic probe 500 ;
[0087] The cooling device 200 is connected to the fixing assembly;
[0088] The detection device is connected to the lifting and adjusting component 180 .

[0090] Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The overall structure of the measurement system is shown, specifically: a lift adjustment assembly 180 is mounted on a fixed assembly for longitudinal elevation, a cooling device 200 is installed within the fixed assembly, an ultrasonic probe 500, also serving as an ultrasonic transducer, is mounted at the bottom, and a detection device is mounted on the lift adjustment assembly 180. The detection device is adjusted by the lift adjustment assembly 180 to measure the spatial position of the ultrasound focus point; this is then compared with a corresponding reference to measure the focusing accuracy of the ultrasound probe 500. Simultaneously, using the same method, the signal-to-noise ratio of horizontal slices at different heights when the ultrasound probe 500 focuses energy on ex vivo tissue can be measured. This allows for measurement of focus position, focusing accuracy, and signal-to-noise ratio of different horizontal slices using ultrasound probes 500 of different types and focal lengths.
[0091] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixed assembly is connected to a sealed circular tube 140, specifically an acrylic tube, which serves as the test cavity. This sealed circular tube 140 accommodates and adapts to the ultrasonic probe's energy range, ensuring that the focused energy is within the measurable range. The ultrasonic probe 500 is located at the bottom of the test cavity; the cooling device 200 is mounted on the inner wall of the test cavity; the lift adjustment assembly 180 raises and lowers the test cavity's longitudinal height; and the detection device is located outside the test cavity.
[0092] The main body of the fixed assembly is a cylindrical structure, consisting of a base plate 110, a cover plate 130, a connecting column 160, and a support leg 150. The base plate 110 and the cover plate 130 are acrylic plate structures, arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction. There are multiple connecting columns 160, which are arranged circumferentially between the base plate 110 and the cover plate 130. The connecting columns 160 further include an upper fixing flange 161, a scale column 162, and a lower fixing flange 163. The scale column 162 is provided with a longitudinal scale, and its ends are fixedly connected to the cover plate 130 and the base plate 110 via the upper fixing flange 161 and the lower fixing flange 163 respectively. There are multiple support legs 150, including a support flange 151 and a support column 152. The support column 152 is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 110 via the support flange 151.
[0093] The lifting and adjusting assembly 180 is used to adjust the longitudinal position of the detection device relative to the ultrasonic probe 500. The main body comprises a movable plate 120, a lifting mechanism, and a locking and fixing mechanism 170. The detection device is mounted on the movable plate 120, and the lifting mechanism is mounted between the base plate 110 and the cover plate 130. It is used to drive the movable plate 120 up and down in the longitudinal direction. The assembly comprises a driving member 181, a transmission screw 185, and a transmission nut assembly. The driving member 181 is a transmission knob fixed to the top of the transmission screw 185, which can be fixed by bolts. The transmission screw 185 is vertically arranged between the base plate 110 and the cover plate 130. The transmission nut assembly comprises an upper transmission flange nut 186 and a lower transmission flange nut 187. The upper and lower transmission flange nuts 186 and 187 are respectively fixed to the upper and lower sides of the movable plate 120 and are screwed to the transmission screw 185. The transmission knob drives the drive screw 185 to rotate, and the upper and lower transmission flange nuts 186 and 187 convert the rotational force into linear displacement, driving the movable plate 120 to rise and fall longitudinally along the drive screw 185. To reduce the rotational resistance of the drive screw 185, the cover plate 130 and the base plate 110 are respectively provided with an upper bearing assembly and a lower bearing assembly. The cover plate 130 is provided with a through hole for the top of the drive screw 185 to pass through. The upper bearing assembly includes a first bearing 184, an upper bearing end cap 182, and a lower bearing end cap 183.

The lower bearing assembly includes a flange base 189 and a second bearing 188. The second bearing 188 is sleeved on the bottom of the transmission screw 185 and mounted on the base plate 110 through the flange base 189. The first bearing 184 and the second bearing 188 are made of ceramic material. The locking and fixing mechanism 170 is used to fix the movable plate 120 to the connecting column 160 and includes a sliding flange 172 and a locking knob 171. The sliding flange 172 is installed on the movable plate 120 and sleeved on the connecting column 160, and a threaded hole is opened through the side wall; the locking knob 171 is screwed into the threaded hole and can pass through the threaded hole to abut against the connecting column 160 to fix the longitudinal position of the movable plate 120. By turning locking knob 171 in the forward direction of the threaded hole to increase the abutment pressure between the inner end of locking knob 171 and connecting post 160, the friction force between the inner end and connecting post 160 against longitudinal slippage is increased, thereby stabilizing movable plate 120 in the set longitudinal position. The longitudinal position of movable plate 120 is adjusted by the lifting mechanism, and movable plate 120 is fixed to connecting post 160 by locking and fixing mechanism 170, thereby achieving adjustment and fixation of the longitudinal height of the detection device. The longitudinal height of the detection device is calibrated by the longitudinal scale, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the longitudinal height of the detection device and accurate measurement of focusing accuracy.
[0094] To enhance the stability and reliability of the movable plate 120, multiple connecting posts 160 are provided, symmetrically and evenly spaced. This arrangement also improves the levelness of the movable plate 120. Furthermore, each of the symmetrically spaced connecting posts 160 has scales, facilitating readings at different orientations. The levelness of the movable plate 120 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the scales on each connecting post 160.
[0095] The detection device includes a detector 400 and a fixing fixture 300. Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the detector 400 comprises a detection portion and a connection portion. Specifically, the detection portion is annularly sleeved outside the sealed circular tube 140 and is used to determine the spatial position of the ultrasonic transducer's ultrasound focus and the signal-to-noise ratio of horizontal sections at different heights when the focused energy is applied to ex vivo tissue. The connection portion extends laterally and is secured to the movable plate 120 via a fixing fixture 300. The lateral extension position of the detection portion is controlled by adjusting the lateral connection position of the fixing fixture 300 on the connection portion. The fixing fixture 300 includes a fixing support 310, and a first clamping assembly and a second clamping assembly; the fixing support 310 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 120; the first clamping assembly includes a first fixing plate, a first pressure block 320, and a first screw-in knob 350, and the second clamping assembly includes a second fixing plate, a second pressure block 330, and a second screw-in knob 340; the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the connecting portion and are fixed to the fixing support 310; threaded holes are respectively formed on the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate; the first screw-in knob 350 and the second screw-in knob 340 are respectively screwed into the corresponding threaded holes, and are connected to the corresponding first pressure block 320 or the second pressure block 330 through the threaded holes; by rotating the first screw-in knob 350 and the second screw-in knob 340 forward or reversely, the first pressure block 320 and the second pressure block 330 are moved closer or farther away to clamp or release the connecting portion. The fixing fixture 300 can be manually adjusted and has a contoured design, which can better fit and clamp the detector 400, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the clamping and making the detector 400 easier to assemble and disassemble.
[0096] The cooling device 200 is used to support the tissue to be tested and adjust the longitudinal position of the tissue to be tested relative to the ultrasonic probe 500, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes a fixing bracket, a cooling pipe 260, and a tissue bracket 250.

Figure 6As shown, the cooling pipe 260 is vertically serpentine and arranged between the first water-cooled chassis 210, the second water-cooled chassis 220, and the third water-cooled chassis 240. Specifically, the cooling pipe 260 includes multiple vertical pipes 262, multiple first bends 263, multiple second bends 261, as well as an inlet pipe 264 and an outlet pipe 265.

One end is connected in sequence through the first bend 263, and the other end is connected in sequence through the second bend 261, forming a vertically serpentine coil. The cooling pipe 260 adopts an S-shaped arrangement, and the overall pipeline layout is a loop-shaped loop. The circulating cooling medium can efficiently cool the solution and ex vivo tissue in the sealed circular tube 140, ensuring that the test environment temperature is within a certain range. The head end of the serpentine coil is connected to the water inlet pipe 264, and the tail end is connected to the water outlet pipe 265. The coil is connected to an external cooling water circulation device through the water inlet pipe 264 and the water outlet pipe 265. The tissue holder 250 includes a chassis 251 and a vertical movable fixing mechanism. The chassis 251 is used to support the ex vivo tissue to be tested and is evenly distributed with multiple geometric through-holes to facilitate the installation and fixation of the ex vivo tissue or other components.

The vertical movable fixing mechanism is used to secure the chassis 251 to the support column and includes a locking nut 252 and a fastening screw 253. The locking nut 252 is fixed to the chassis 251 and slidably sleeved on the support column. The fastening screw 253 is threaded onto the locking nut 252 and can pass through the locking nut 252 to abut the support column, thereby fixing the chassis 251 to the support column via the locking nut 252. By tightening the locking nut 252 in the forward direction, the abutment pressure between the inner end of the locking nut 252 and the support column is increased, thereby increasing the friction between the inner end and the support column to resist longitudinal slippage, thereby stabilizing the chassis 251 in the set longitudinal position.
