Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a detection device, in particular to an ultrasonic imaging bovine intramuscular fat detection device. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasonic imaging technology is used in agriculture and food science to assess meat quality, particularly the amount of fat between muscles (i.e., intramuscular fat, also known as marbling). This is a key factor affecting meat quality, not only influencing its taste but also its nutritional value. Therefore, accurate measurement of intramuscular fat is crucial in the livestock and meat processing industries.

[0003] The ultrasonic probe is a core component of the testing device. When using the probe, a coupling agent is applied to the probe and then placed on the skin surface of the area to be tested. The coupling agent eliminates air gaps and ensures effective transmission of ultrasound waves. However, after use, residual coupling agent or other substances on the probe surface can affect subsequent ultrasound transmission, resulting in blurred images and affecting the accuracy of diagnosis or assessment. Therefore, the probe needs to be cleaned after use before testing the next cow.

[0004] The conventional cleaning method is to manually use soft materials (such as microfiber cloth) to wipe away stains and coupling agent residue on the probe surface. However, this method has the following problems:

[0005] 1. The probe needs to be cleaned manually after each test, which increases operation time and reduces work efficiency.

[0006] 2. The strength and uniformity of manual wiping are different, which can easily cause wear on the probe surface, increasing the maintenance cost of the equipment in the long run. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following describes embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example: An ultrasonic imaging bovine intramuscular fat detection device, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes an ultrasonic detector body 1, a display 2, a connecting line 3, a connector 4, a detection head 5, a fixing frame 6, a screw 7, a handle 8, a return spring 9, a sliding block 10, a rotating frame 11, a first torsion spring 12 and a first cleaning block 13. The ultrasonic detector body 1 is connected to the display 2 in a flip-up manner. The right end of the ultrasonic detector body 1 is connected to the connecting line 3, the tail end of the connecting line 3 is connected to the connector 4, and the detection head 5 is installed on the connector 4. The front and rear sides of the connector 4 are fixed with the fixing frame 6 by four screws 7. The four screws 7 are against the side of the connector 4. The right side of the fixing frame 6 is welded It is connected to a handle 8, and a sliding block 10 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 6. Grips are welded on the front and rear sides of the sliding block 10, which are convenient for pulling the grips to push the sliding block 10. A return spring 9 is connected between the sliding block 10 and the fixed frame 6. The left side of the sliding block 10 is rotatably connected to a rotating frame 11, and a first torsion spring 12 is connected between the front and rear sides of the rotating frame 11 and the sliding block 10. A first cleaning block 13 is detachably connected to the rotating frame 11. The first cleaning block 13 is located above the detection head 5. After moving downward, it is close to the left detection surface of the detection head 5, and can clean the coupling agent remaining on its detection surface.

[0023] like Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, a second cleaning block 14 is also included. The second cleaning block 14 is detachably connected to the inner side of the sliding block 10 at the front and rear sides of the first cleaning block 13. After the second cleaning block 14 moves downward, it is tightly attached to the front and rear sides of the detection head 5 to clean the front and rear side walls of the detection head 5. The second cleaning block 14 and the first cleaning block 13 are both flexible sponges to fit the shape of the detection head 5.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a frame 15, a rotating shaft 16 and a second torsion spring 17. The frame 15 is welded to the right side wall of the ultrasonic detector body 1, and the rotating shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the frame 15. The connecting line 3 passes through the inside of the frame 15, and the remaining part is wound around the rotating shaft 16. The tail end connected to the connector 4 passes through the frame 15, and a second torsion spring 17 is connected between the rotating shaft 16 and the top of the frame 15.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a disinfection bottle 18 and a nozzle 19. The disinfection bottle 18 with disinfectant stored inside is obliquely clamped to the top of the fixed frame 6, and the nozzle 19 is clamped to the top of the disinfection bottle 18. The nozzle of the nozzle 19 is facing the first cleaning block 13 and the second cleaning block 14.

[0026] When conducting intramuscular fat detection on cattle, first open the ultrasonic detector body 1, flip up the display 2, and calibrate the ultrasonic detector body 1 to ensure its normal operation. Then, hold the handle 8, apply the coupling agent on the detection head 5, and then press the detection head 5 against the skin surface of the cattle to be detected. The function of the coupling agent is to eliminate the air gap and ensure the effective transmission of the ultrasonic wave. When moving the detection head 5, the connecting wire 3 will be involved. The connecting wire 3 is wound in the frame 15. When the connecting wire 3 is stretched, the rotating shaft 16 will rotate, and the second torsion spring 17 will be deformed accordingly. When close to the ultrasonic detector body 1, the excess connecting wire 3 will be reversed and wound by the rotating shaft 16 due to the reset of the second torsion spring 17. This can well store the connecting wire 3 and avoid knotting.

[0027] The detection head 5 emits high-frequency sound waves during detection. These sound waves will pass through the skin and enter the muscle tissue. When the ultrasonic waves encounter the interface of tissues with different densities, they will be reflected. The reflected ultrasonic waves are captured by the detection head 5 and converted into electrical signals. The electrical signals are transmitted to the signal processor of the ultrasonic imaging system. After a series of processing, digital signals are formed. The processed digital signals are used to construct two-dimensional or three-dimensional images to show the distribution of muscles and fat. The images obtained by observing the display 2 can be used to analyze the distribution of intramuscular fat.

[0028] After the detection is completed, it is necessary to clean the detection head 5. First, press the nozzle 19 to spray the disinfectant in the disinfection bottle 18 onto the first cleaning block 13 and the second cleaning block 14 through the nozzle 19 to moisten them. Then, hold the handle and push the sliding block 10 downward, driving the rotating frame 11, the first cleaning block 13 and the second cleaning block 14 to move downward. The return spring 9 is compressed accordingly, and the second cleaning block 14 is attached to the front and rear side walls of the detection head 5 to disinfect and clean it, while the first cleaning block 13 contacts the detection surface of the detection head 5. Driven by the sliding block 10, the first cleaning block 13 and the rotating frame 11 rotate, and the first torsion spring 12 is deformed, so that the first cleaning block 13 is close to the detection surface of the detection head 5, and The angle can be changed according to the shape of the detection surface, and the coupling agent remaining on the detection head 5 is cleaned by the first cleaning block 13. When the first cleaning block 13 moves down to the limit, the first cleaning block 13 is out of contact with the detection head 5, and the first torsion spring 12 rebounds and resets, driving the rotating frame 11 and the first cleaning block 13 to reverse and reset, and then the handle is released, the return spring 9 rebounds and resets, driving the sliding block 10, the rotating frame 11, the first cleaning block 13 and the second cleaning block 14 to move upward for secondary cleaning. The first cleaning block 13 and the rotating frame 11 will rotate in the opposite direction and reset. After cleaning is completed, the next cow detection can be carried out. The entire structure of the fixed frame 6 can be disassembled and replaced by the screw 7 for easy maintenance.
