Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] In the field of medical device technology, the transducer is a key component of ultrasonic surgical equipment. Its main function is to convert the input electrical energy into mechanical vibrations, which are then used in surgical operations. In the prior art, the connection between ultrasonic surgical equipment and the transducer is usually made of an aviation plug for easy plugging and unplugging. The user needs to judge whether the connection between the ultrasonic surgical equipment and the transducer is correct by the sound during plugging, and cannot confirm it in a more intuitive way. Therefore, in a noisy environment, if the user fails to obtain the connection sound in time, the user will not be able to quickly and accurately judge whether the ultrasonic surgical equipment and the transducer are correctly connected.
[0030] Therefore, reference Figure 1 The present invention proposes a plug prompt module, which is applied to ultrasonic surgical equipment. The ultrasonic surgical equipment includes a host and a transducer. The host has a first interface 20. The plug prompt module includes a positive power terminal, a negative power terminal and a prompter 10. The first end of the prompter 10 is connected to the positive power terminal, and the negative power terminal and the second end of the prompter 10 are respectively connected to the first interface 20.
[0031] When the transducer establishes an electrical connection path with the host through the first interface 20, the prompter 10 is electrically connected via the first interface 20, and the prompter outputs a prompt signal.
[0032] It is understandable that in ultrasonic surgical equipment, energy transmission and data transmission are usually achieved between the host and the transducer by plugging the female socket and the male socket. Among them, the female socket and the male socket respectively have multiple pin holes and multiple pins, so that the host can drive the transducer to work and receive echo signals. In the present utility model, the female socket can be understood as the above-mentioned first interface, or the above-mentioned first interface can be set on the female socket. Furthermore, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment, such a connection will usually include necessary electrical protection measures, such as grounding. In many cases, the interface of the transducer (i.e., the second interface 30) will include one or more ground pins for electrical grounding. The main purpose of grounding is to prevent electromagnetic interference and provide a safe path to prevent the risk of electric shock. In addition, grounding can also help protect sensitive electronic components from damage by electrostatic discharge.
[0033] In this embodiment, the positive and negative power supply terminals can be powered by the host's internal power supply through voltage conversion or by an independent power supply, such as a lithium battery, with a separate area provided in the host housing to facilitate removal and replacement of the lithium battery. By flexibly configuring the power supply method of the power supply 40, the plug-in reminder module can adapt to different host power supply methods.
[0034] In this embodiment, various prompting methods can be used, including voice prompts, visual prompts, and tactile prompts. The prompter 10 can be, for example, a buzzer, LED, or vibrator. The first end of the prompter 10 needs to be electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply. When the circuit is complete, the power supply voltage is obtained from the positive terminal of the power supply. It is understood that the plug-in prompt module is located on the host, that is, the power supply, the positive terminal of the power supply, the negative terminal of the power supply, and the prompter 10 are all located on the host. Therefore, the positive terminal of the power supply is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the negative terminal of the power supply is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. The first end of the prompter 10 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, the second end of the prompter 10 is electrically connected to the first pin 1 of the first interface 20, and the negative terminal of the power supply is electrically connected to the second pin 2 of the first interface 20. Furthermore, when the transducer and the host establish an electrical connection through the first interface 20, the power supply forms a connected circuit through the positive terminal of the power supply, the negative terminal of the power supply, the first interface 20, the transducer, and the prompter 10, thereby causing the prompter 10 to output a prompt signal.
[0035] Optionally, the indicator 10, power supply 40, and their corresponding positive and negative power supply terminals can be located in the host or transducer, depending on actual needs. For example, the power supply 40 may be located in the host, and the indicator 10 in the transducer; the indicator 10 may be located in the host, and the power supply 40 in the transducer; both the power supply 40 and the indicator 10 may be located in the host; or both the power supply 40 and the indicator 10 may be located in the transducer. The positive and negative power supply terminals are then located accordingly.
[0036] By installing a plug-in prompt module in an ultrasonic surgical device, the user can intuitively determine the connection status between the host and transducer in the ultrasonic surgical device through a prompt signal. The plug-in prompt module includes a positive power supply terminal, a negative power supply terminal, and a prompter 10. By electrically fusing the first end of the prompter 10 to the positive power supply terminal, and connecting the negative power supply terminal and the second end of the prompter 10 to the first interface 20, a communication loop is formed when an electrical connection path is established between the transducer and the host through the first interface 20, thereby energizing the prompter 10 and outputting a prompt signal. This configuration effectively improves the accuracy of determining the connection relationship between the host and transducer in the ultrasonic surgical device.
[0037] refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present utility model, the plug prompt module further includes a resistor; the prompter 10 is a light emitting diode;
[0038] The first end of the resistor is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, the second end of the resistor is electrically connected to the anode of the light emitting diode; and the cathode of the light emitting diode is electrically connected to the first interface 20 .
[0039] In this embodiment, the indicator 10 uses an LED to visually inform the user of the current connection status between the host and the transducer. The anode of the LED D is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, so that the LED is illuminated when the circuit is connected and is extinguished when the circuit is disconnected.
[0040] The present invention further provides an ultrasonic surgical device comprising a main unit, a transducer, and the aforementioned plug-in prompt module. It is noteworthy that, because the present invention's ultrasonic surgical device is based on the aforementioned plug-in prompt module, the embodiments of the present invention include all technical solutions of all embodiments of the aforementioned plug-in prompt module, and the technical effects achieved are identical, and therefore will not be further elaborated here.
[0041] refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasonic surgical device further includes a power supply 40, the positive pole of the power supply 40 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the negative pole of the power supply 40 is electrically fused to the negative terminal of the power supply.
[0042] In this embodiment, the power supply 40 can be implemented as a separate power source, such as a lithium battery installed in the ultrasonic surgical device, that meets the power requirements of the prompter 10, or directly utilize the power supply of the host computer of the ultrasonic surgical device. The power supply 40 can be installed in either the host computer or the transducer. By connecting the positive and negative terminals of the power supply 40 to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply, respectively, the technical effect of powering the prompter 10 can be achieved. Furthermore, when the power supply 40 is installed in the host computer, corresponding circuitry can be provided to enable the host power supply to charge the power supply 40 in the plug-in prompt module, thereby avoiding the need to replace the plug-in power supply 40.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first interface 20 has a first pin 1 and a second pin 2, which are connected to the second end of the indicator 10 or the negative terminal of the power supply, respectively. Furthermore, the second interface 30 has corresponding first pins 1 and second pins 2. For example, the first pin 1 of the first interface 20 is electrically fused to the second end of the indicator 10, and the second pin 2 of the first interface 20 is electrically fused to the negative terminal of the power supply. When the first interface 20 of the host is plugged into the second interface 30 of the transducer, the first pin 1 of the first interface 20 is electrically fused to the first pin 1 of the second interface 30, and the second pin 2 of the first interface 20 is electrically fused to the second pin 2 of the second interface 30. Furthermore, the first pin 1 of the second interface 30 is connected to the second pin 2. At this point, the host and the transducer are electrically fused. When the positive and negative terminals of the power supply are powered on, the indicator 10 will output a prompt signal through the connection path between the first pin 1 of the first interface 20, the first pin 1 of the second interface 30, the second pin 2 of the second interface 30, and the first pin 1 of the first interface 20.
[0045] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the second end of the prompter 10 is electrically connected to the first pin 1 of the first interface 20, and the negative end of the power supply is electrically connected to the second pin 2 of the first interface 20.
[0046] In this embodiment, the positive terminal of the power supply is electrically fused to the first terminal of the indicator 10, the second pin 2 of the first interface 20 is grounded, and the first pin 1 of the second interface 30 is electrically fused to the second pin 2 and grounded.

This forms a circuit composed of the positive terminal of the power supply, the indicator 10, the first pin 1 of the first interface 20, the first pin 1 of the second interface 30, the second pin 2 of the first interface 20, the second pin 2 of the second interface 30, and the negative terminal of the power supply. Power is supplied by the power supply 40, causing the indicator 10 to output a prompt signal to confirm the connection status of the first interface 20 and the second interface 30.
[0047] refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the host has an energy output end, and the energy output end is electrically fused to the first interface 20.
[0048] In this embodiment, the transducer, as the energy conversion component in the ultrasonic surgical device, needs to receive energy output from the host. Therefore, the first interface 20 and the second interface 30 are also provided with corresponding pins to achieve energy transfer. The first interface 20 has a third pin 3 and a fourth pin 4, which are both electrically fused to the energy output end. The second interface 30 has a third pin 3 and a fourth pin 4, which transmit the energy output from the host to the transducer through the corresponding third pin 3 and fourth pin 4 of the first interface 20 and the second interface 30, respectively.
[0049] refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present utility model, the host has a data interaction terminal, and the data interaction terminal is electrically fused with the first interface 20;
