Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of detection technology, and in particular to a probe and a probe assembly. Background Art

[0002] When examining the human body, a probe connected to an instrument is often used to obtain physiological parameters. Because the probe needs to maintain stable contact with the body to effectively collect data, current probes are typically designed with a handle for holding. Even during long-term monitoring, the operator must hold the probe to maintain stability. However, the operator's energy during the testing process is limited, especially in scenarios such as surgery and intensive care units where continuous physiological parameter monitoring is required. Simply holding the probe to maintain stability for an extended period of time is clearly unreliable. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is how to provide a probe and a probe assembly to improve the stability of the contact between the probe and the human body and the accuracy of the detection results.

[0004] The present application provides a probe, comprising a base and a detection part, wherein a first fixing part is provided on one side of the base; the detection part is fixed to the other side of the base away from the first fixing part, and is used to detect the human body; wherein the base is used to be connected to a fixing member through the first fixing part, and is configured to force the detection part to apply pressure toward the human body under the pressure of the fixing member.

[0005] The present application provides a probe assembly, including a probe and a fixing base. The probe includes a base and a detection part. A first fixing part is provided on one side of the base. The detection part is fixed to the other side of the base away from the first fixing part and is used to detect the human body; the fixing base is used to fix the probe and abut the human body; wherein, at least one of the fixing base and the probe is connected to a fixing part, and the fixing part is configured to apply pressure toward the human body to press the fixing base against the human body so that the probe can detect the human body.

[0006] Since the long-term use of handheld probes is inconvenient, it will affect the accuracy of physiological parameter detection and the efficiency of the medical process. Different from the existing technology, this application adds a fixing part to the probe, and uses the fixing part and the first fixing part to fix the probe, thereby forcing the probe to apply pressure toward the human body, thereby achieving relative fixation between the human body and the probe, effectively improving the stability of the probe during detection, providing a guarantee for the accuracy of the detection results, and effectively reducing the instability and inconvenience caused by handheld probe detection, thereby improving the reliability and versatility of the probe.

[0016] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only some, rather than all, structures related to the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0017] The terms "first," "second," and the like in this application are used to distinguish between different objects, not to describe a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "including," "comprising," and "provided with," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or elements is not limited to the listed steps or elements, but may optionally include steps or elements not listed, or may optionally include other steps or elements inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0018] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0019] With the development of medical technology and testing technology, the means of detecting various physiological parameters of the human body have gradually become more diverse, and the functions and precision of detection instruments have been continuously improved. In particular, the application of ultrasound probes in the detection of some internal organs in the human body is very extensive.

[0020] Currently, cardiac probes typically rely on operators to hold them close to the body to capture images. However, in settings like operating rooms and intensive care units, real-time cardiac data is often required. Relying solely on operators to hold the probes against the chest for extended periods of time is unrealistic and labor-intensive. Holding the probes for extended periods can also easily cause wrist muscle strain, impacting both health and work efficiency. Furthermore, in complex environments requiring long-term monitoring, various equipment and pipelines, such as electrocardiograms, oxygen masks, and IV lines, may crisscross the human body. Furthermore, the presence of a handle on the probe, which clogs the already crowded space, further complicates the process. Furthermore, relying on handheld control to secure the probes poses challenges to the convenience and safety of the medical process.

[0021] The probe and probe assembly of the present application are intended to improve or solve the problem of ensuring that the probe is stably fixed on the human body without affecting the detection function of the probe, thereby improving the reliability and versatility of the probe.

[0022] The following probe assembly embodiment of the present application describes an exemplary structure of the probe 1 assembly.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 1The figure is a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of an embodiment of the probe assembly of the present application. The probe assembly may include a probe 1 and a mounting base 3. The probe 1 is fixed to the mounting base 3. The fixing member 4 is connected to the mounting base 3 and / or the probe 1, thereby pressing the mounting base 3 against the human body, so that the probe 1 fixed to the mounting base 3 can detect the human body.

[0024] The probe assembly provided in the present application utilizes a fixing base 3 that abuts against the human body to stably place the probe 1 on the human body, and utilizes a fixing member 4 to apply a compressive force to the probe 1 and the fixing base 3, thereby stably fixing the fixing base 3 and the probe 1 on the human body, effectively improving the stability of the probe 1 during detection, providing a guarantee for the accuracy of the detection results, and thereby improving the reliability and versatility of the probe 1.

[0025] Optionally, the fixing member 4 can be connected to the fixing base 3 to form a fixing ring 21. The fixing ring 21 is used to be sleeved on the human body to press the fixing base 3 against the human body, so that the probe 1 can be stably fixed on the human body.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing member 4 can also be connected to the probe 1 to form a fixing ring 21. The fixing ring 21 can be used to be sleeved on the human body, thereby pressing the fixing base 3 fixed to the probe 1 on the human body.

[0027] Due to the diverse contours of the human body surface, it is difficult to design a fixing base 3 that can perfectly fit the human body and fix the probe 1. Therefore, the fixing ring 21 formed by the fixing part 4 connected to the probe 1 or the fixing base 3 around the human body can well meet the purpose of stably pressing the fixing base 3 on the human body, effectively improving the stability of the probe 1 during detection, and improving the reliability and versatility of the probe 1.

[0028] Optionally, the position at which the fixing member 4 is connected to the probe 1 and / or the length of the fixing member 4 is adjustable, thereby being able to adjust the circumference of the fixing ring 21 so that the fixing ring 21 can adapt to different human bodies, thereby improving the versatility of the probe assembly.

[0029] Optionally, the fixing member 4 may be elastic, so that when the fixing ring 21 is sleeved on the human body, a certain degree of elastic deformation occurs to achieve a better fixation effect on the probe 1, while expanding the adjustment range of the circumference of the fixing ring 21.

[0030] Optionally, the fixing member 4 may be provided with a length adjustment buckle to adjust the length of the fixing member 4 so that the fixing ring 21 can adapt to different human bodies.

[0031] Optionally, the fixing member 4 may be provided in a strip shape, and the fixing member 4 is connected to the probe 1 at two different positions along its extension direction, so that a portion of the fixing member 4 between the two different positions is used to form a fixing circle 21 .

[0032] Considering that the position on the human body surface is limited and the outer contour shape is uncertain, the fixing part 4 arranged in a long strip shape can reduce the coverage area of ​​the fixing seat 3 and the fixing part 4 on the human body while surrounding the human body, making room for other operations or placing instruments on the human body, thereby improving the versatility of the probe 1.

[0033] Optionally, the fixing member 4 may be provided with a plurality of second fixing portions 41 spaced apart along its extension direction, and the probe 1 is provided with a first fixing portion 11. Two of the spaced apart second fixing portions 41 are respectively connected to the first fixing portion 11, so that the fixing member 4 can be connected to the probe 1 at least at two different positions.

[0034] Optionally, the second fixing portion 41 and the first fixing portion 11 are detachably connected, so that the fixing member 4 can be connected to the first fixing portion 11 using two different second fixing portions 41, and the circumference of the formed fixing ring 21 can be adjusted to adapt to the detection needs of different human bodies.

[0035] The detachable design of the second fixing portion 41 and the first fixing portion 11 makes it easy to install the fixing member 4 on the human body, and also provides the possibility of replacing the second fixing portion 41 connected to the first fixing portion 11, so that different second fixing portions 41 can be matched with different circumferences of the fixing ring 21, and the circumference of the fixing ring 21 can be adjusted by replacing the second fixing portion 41 connected to the first fixing portion 11.

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present application also provides a probe 1, comprising a base 15 and a detection portion 13. A first fixing portion 11 is provided on one side of the base 15, and the detection portion 13 is fixed to the other side of the base 15 away from the first fixing portion 11, for detecting the human body. The base 15 is used to be connected to the fixing member 4 through the first fixing portion 11, and is configured to force the detection portion 13 to apply pressure toward the human body under the pressure of the fixing member 4. By utilizing the first fixing portion 11, the probe 1 can be stably fixed to the human body, so that when using the probe 1 to detect the human body, there is no need to hold it in hand, which reduces the operating burden of the operator and improves the stability of the probe 1 in detecting the human body.

[0037] Optionally, the second fixing portion 41 can be one of a convex buckle portion and a button hole, and the first fixing portion 11 can be the other of the convex buckle portion and the button hole, so that the second fixing portion 41 is connected to the first fixing portion 11 by utilizing the buckling relationship between the convex buckle portion and the button hole.

[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1Schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the probe and the fixing base. In the figure, the second fixing portion 41 is a button hole, and the first fixing portion 11 is a convex button portion. The first fixing portion 11 is located at the top of the probe 1 away from the fixing base 3, and includes a connecting sub-portion 111 and a limiting sub-portion 112. Among them, one end of the connecting sub-portion 111 is connected to the base 15, and the other end is connected to the limiting sub-portion 112, and a limiting step surface 113 facing the base 15 is formed at the connection between the limiting sub-portion 112 and the connecting sub-portion 111. The connecting sub-portion 111 of the convex button portion is inserted into the second fixing portion 41 in the form of a button hole, so that the second fixing portion 41 is restricted between the limiting step surface 113 and the base 15.

[0039] See Figure 1 、 2 , 3, 4, Figure 3 yes Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the explosion structure of the middle probe and the fixed seat. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the probe and the fixing seat along the AA direction. The fixing seat 3 is provided with a limiting portion 31 for limiting the fixing member 4. Figure 1 As shown, the fixing member 4 can not separate from the fixing seat 3 under the restriction of the limiting portion 31, so that the fixing member 4 forms a fixing ring 21 under the limiting action of the limiting portion 31 to improve the fixing effect of the probe 1 on the human body.

[0040] Optionally, the limiting portion 31 can be provided on the outer peripheral side wall 310 of the fixing seat 3, and a limiting through hole 32 is formed between the limiting portion 31 and the outer peripheral side wall 310. The fixing member 4 can be passed through the limiting through hole 32, so that the limiting portion 31 can limit the fixing member 4.

[0041] like Figure 1 、 6 , 7, and 8, Figure 6 It is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a fixing seat in the probe assembly of the present application. Figure 7 It is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the fixing seat in the probe assembly of the present application. Figure 8 It is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the fixing seat in the probe assembly of the present application. Figure 6 The embodiment of the fixing seat 3 in the embodiment does not have the limiting portion 31 and the limiting through hole 32. Figure 7 The fixing seat 3 in the embodiment is provided with two limiting portions 31 and two limiting through holes 32. Figure 8 The embodiment of the fixing seat 3 is provided with a limiting portion 31 and four limiting through holes 32 surrounding the side of the fixing seat 3. Among them, the number of limiting through holes 32 and limiting portions 31 can be determined according to actual limiting requirements, for example Figure 8 Four limiting through holes 32 are provided in the middle, which can limit the positions of at least two fixing members 4.

[0042] Optionally, there can be at least two limiting through holes 32, which can be spaced apart along the axial direction of the fixing base 3. The fixing member 4 can be sequentially inserted into at least two of the limiting through holes 32 along its extension direction, so as to limit both ends of the fixing member 4 connected to the probe 1, allowing the fixing ring 21 to be closer to the human body, thereby improving the stability of the probe 1 fixed relative to the human body.

[0043] Optionally, the number of fixing parts 4 can be at least two, and at least two fixing parts 4 can be connected to the probe 1 from different directions, so that the fixing circles 21 corresponding to at least two fixing parts 4 cross each other, so as to improve the fixing effect of the probe 1 on the human body and avoid the fixing seat 3 sliding due to the movement of the human body, resulting in inaccurate detection of the probe 1.

[0044] See Figure 3 、 4 6. A cylindrical mounting space 33 may be defined in the fixing base 3. A first opening 34 communicating with the mounting space 33 is defined at one end of the fixing base 3, and a second opening 35 communicating with the mounting space 33 is defined at the other end. The probe 1 includes a detection portion 13 that can be at least partially inserted into the mounting space 33 through the first opening 34. This allows the probe 1 to detect a designated body part through the second opening 35 while being fixed to the body.

[0045] Optionally, to better secure the probe 1 relative to the mounting base 3, a fourth securing portion 36 may be provided on the inner wall of the mounting base 3, and a third securing portion 14 may be provided on the outer periphery of the detection portion 13. The fourth securing portion 36 can be connected to the third securing portion 14, thereby restricting the relative movement of the detection portion 13 and the mounting base 3 in the axial direction of the installation space 33, thereby preventing the detection portion 13 from falling out of the first opening 34.

[0046] Optionally, the fourth fixing portion 36 can be one of the fixing groove 361 and the fixing protrusion 141, and the third fixing portion 14 can be the other of the fixing groove 361 and the fixing protrusion 141, and the fourth fixing portion 36 and the third fixing portion 14 are connected in the form of the fixing protrusion 141 embedded in the fixing groove 361.

[0047] like Figure 4 、 6 As shown, the fourth fixing portion 36 is a fixing groove 361, and the third fixing portion 14 is a fixing protrusion 141. To facilitate the insertion of the fixing protrusion 141 into the fixing groove 361, the inner wall of the fixing base 3 is further provided with a guide groove 37 extending axially along the installation space 33. One end of the guide groove 37 is connected to the outside world through the first opening 34, and the other end is connected to the fixing groove 361. Therefore, when the detector 13 is inserted into the installation space 33 along the axial direction, the fixing protrusion 141 can slide into the fixing groove 361 under the guidance of the guide groove 37.

[0048] Alternatively, the fixing groove 361 may be provided along the axial direction of the installation space 33 so as to intersect with the guide groove 37. After the fixing protrusion 141 passes through the guide groove 37 and enters the fixing groove 361, the fixing protrusion 141 can be rotated relative to the fixing base 3 to engage with the fixing groove 361, thereby restricting the relative movement of the detection portion 13 and the fixing base 3 in the axial direction of the installation space 33 and preventing the detection portion 13 from falling out of the first opening 34.

[0049] Optionally, the installation space 33 can be divided axially into a first sub-installation space 38 and a second sub-installation space 39, each of which is interconnected. One end of the first sub-installation space 38 is connected to the first opening 34, and an end of the second sub-installation space 39, which is remote from the first sub-installation space 38, is connected to the second opening 35. The detection portion 13 is at least partially accommodated in the first sub-installation space 38, while the second sub-installation space 39 is used to fill the coupling layer 5 that contacts the detection portion 13.

[0050] Optionally, the coupling layer 5 is used as a conductive medium to fill or apply between the human body and the detection portion when the probe 1 is performing detection, thereby transmitting ultrasonic waves between the human body and the probe 1. The coupling layer 5 is at least one of a coupling agent and a coupling gasket 51. The coupling agent is liquid and has a certain degree of fluidity, while the coupling gasket 51 is solid.

[0051] Alternatively, when only coupling agent is filled in the second sub-mounting space 39, the coupling agent in the second sub-mounting space 39 may easily leak through the second opening 35 under the action of gravity, resulting in the coupling agent not being able to properly contact the detection unit 13. When only the coupling gasket 51 is filled in the second sub-mounting space 39, the solid coupling gasket 51 may not be in close contact with the human body and the detection unit 13. Therefore, the coupling gasket 51 and the coupling agent can be used in conjunction with each other. For example, the coupling agent can be filled between the coupling gasket 51 and the detection unit 13, and the coupling agent can be filled between the coupling gasket 51 and the human body. This allows the coupling agent to be in close contact with the human body and the detection unit 13 under the support of the coupling gasket 51, thereby ensuring the detection effect of the probe 1.

[0052] Optionally, the radial dimension of the first sub-installation space 38 is smaller than the radial dimension of the second sub-installation space 39, thereby forming a step portion 391 facing the second opening 35 at the connection between the first sub-installation space 38 and the second sub-installation space 39, so that the coupling layer 5 can block the first sub-installation space 38 and completely fit with the side surface of the detection portion 13 facing the second sub-installation space 39.

[0053] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 3Schematic diagram of the multi-angle structure of the probe. The probe 1 may include a detection portion 13 inserted into the fixing base 3, a base 15 located outside the fixing base 3, and a wire group 16 extending from the base 15. The detection portion 13 can detect parts of the human body using ultrasound. The base 15 is provided with an acoustic-to-electrical transducer, which converts the sound wave signal received by the detection portion 13 into an electrical signal and outputs it through the wire group 16. The base 15 and the detection portion 13 are connected to each other in a first direction BB, and the wire group 16 extends from the base 15 along a second direction CC, wherein the first direction BB and the second direction CC are perpendicular to each other, thereby preventing the lead-out of the wire group 16 from affecting the fixing effect and detection effect of the probe 1.

[0054] Optionally, the base 15 may be located on a side of the base 15 away from the fixing base 3 .

[0055] Optionally, a detection window 131 is provided on the side of the detection portion 13 facing the second sub-mounting space 39. Detection window 131 is used to transmit ultrasonic waves to the human body and receive ultrasonic waves returning from the human body. When the probe 1 is fixed to the fixing base 3 to detect the human body, the detection window 131 is completely covered by the coupling layer 5 to ensure the detection effect of the probe 1.

[0056] The above is only an implementation method of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the description and drawings of this application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
