Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of instruments and equipment, and in particular relates to a keyboard system and an ultrasonic diagnostic instrument with real-time color display and remote control functions. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasound examinations have become a widespread diagnostic tool in modern medical practice due to their non-invasive, real-time, and cost-effective nature. With the rapid development of telemedicine, particularly with the support of emerging technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing, remote ultrasound diagnostic systems have emerged, greatly expanding the application scenarios and scope of ultrasound examinations.

[0003] Remote ultrasound diagnostic systems, connected via high-speed internet, allow specialists to remotely control ultrasound equipment and perform real-time ultrasound examinations on patients. These systems typically include one or more high-definition cameras, ultrasound probes, remote control devices, and high-speed data transmission equipment. These devices allow doctors to view ultrasound images of patients in real time from anywhere, providing diagnosis and treatment guidance.

[0004] However, traditional ultrasound device control interfaces often offer only a single color or simple indicator lights, which can cause difficulties during remote operation. Furthermore, existing ultrasound device control interfaces do not support remote simultaneous display, meaning that all participating doctors cannot see the same control interface at the same time. This increases communication time between doctors and impacts the coherence and consistency of remote diagnosis. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a keyboard system and an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus with real-time color display and remote control functions.

[0006] A keyboard system with real-time color display and remote control functions includes: a control panel and a remote communication module connected to each other, the control panel including a microcontroller and a key matrix, the key matrix being connected to the microcontroller, at least one key of the key matrix being provided with a corresponding LED lamp, and the LED lamp being connected to the microcontroller via an LED drive circuit.

[0007] Preferably, the LED lamp is an RGB LED lamp.

[0008] Preferably, the three pins of the RGB LED lamp are connected to corresponding output ends of the LED driving circuit.

[0009] Preferably, the microcontroller is connected to the rows and columns of the key matrix via I / O pins.

[0010] Preferably, the remote communication module is connected to the Internet via at least one of Ethernet, Wi-Fi antenna, 4G SIM card slot or 5G SIM card slot.

[0011] Preferably, the remote communication module is connected to the microcontroller via at least one communication interface among SPI, I2C or UART.

[0012] Preferably, the microcontroller is selected from the STM32F103 series, the LED lamp is selected from the WS2812B LED lamp bead, the LED driving circuit is selected from TP4056, and the remote communication module is selected from the ESP32-WROOM module.

[0013] The present invention also provides an ultrasonic diagnostic instrument, which comprises an ultrasonic host computer and the above-mentioned keyboard system with real-time color display and remote control functions, which are connected to each other.

[0014] Preferably, the ultrasound host includes an ultrasound probe, an image processing unit and a main control unit.

[0015] The present invention constructs a keyboard system that changes color in real time according to the key status, which can intuitively reflect the real-time status of the device, allowing the device operator to more clearly understand the working status of the device, thereby improving the accuracy of operation. At the same time, the present invention can send the real-time display status of the keyboard system to the remote device through the remote communication module, and display the same keyboard system interface on the remote display device or the same keyboard system, so that remote personnel can synchronously understand the real-time status of the device. On the other hand, the remote communication module can also receive control commands from the remote personnel, thereby changing the status of the device and changing the display status of the keyboard system.

[0016] The present invention further integrates the keyboard system into an ultrasonic diagnostic instrument, enabling all participating doctors to obtain synchronized information during remote ultrasonic diagnostic work, improving communication efficiency and ensuring the continuity and consistency of remote diagnosis. Therefore, the present invention has a promising application prospect.
