[0002] The transesophageal echocardiography probe for insertion into the esophagus is a high-precision device specially designed for cardiovascular imaging, widely used in the diagnosis and monitoring of various heart diseases. The probe obtains high-definition images of the heart and its surrounding structures by inserting into the esophagus, and can provide more accurate and detailed evaluation of cardiac function.
[0003] The ultrasonic probe usually has highly sensitive sensors and delicate structure, which makes it susceptible to physical damage and environmental influences. In actual use, doctors and technicians may cause the probe to be damaged, affect its working performance, and possibly lead to a decline in image quality or inability to use when operating the probe, falling, colliding, or contacting other hard objects. SUMMARY
[0004] The utility model aims at overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art, adapting to the actual needs, and providing an ultrasonic probe protective sleeve device for transesophageal echocardiography to solve the problem that doctors and technicians may cause the probe to be damaged, affect its working performance, and possibly lead to a decline in image quality or inability to use when operating the probe, falling, colliding, or contacting other hard objects.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: an ultrasonic probe protective sleeve device for transesophageal echocardiography, comprising an ultrasonic probe body and a data line connected to the ultrasonic probe body, a limiting plate is sleeved on the outer wall of the data line, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate, a protective sleeve of rubber material is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cover, the ultrasonic probe body is sleeved in the protective sleeve, symmetrically arranged adjusting grooves are formed in the outer wall of the protective cover, the adjusting grooves are in communication with the interior of the protective cover, torsional rods are hingedly connected to the inner walls of the adjusting grooves through torsional springs, and adjusting plates are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the torsional rods.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of each adjusting plate is hingedly connected to a resisting plate, and the bottom of the resisting plate abuts against and presses the outer wall of the protective sleeve under the pushing of the adjusting plate.
[0007] Preferably, the end of each resisting plate extends perpendicularly to the protective sleeve, and the resisting plate forms an "L" type structure after extension.
[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the protective sleeve extends to form a symmetrical laminated structure, and the position of the laminated structure of the protective sleeve corresponds to the resisting plate.
[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the protective cover is provided with a bite ring made of rubber, and the bite ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the protective cover.
[0010] Preferably, the ends of the bite ring extend vertically in all directions, and the extended parts of the bite ring are used to rest against the patient's teeth.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0012] 1. The utility model is provided with an ultrasonic probe body, a data cable, a limit plate, a protective cover, a protective sleeve, an adjustment slot, a torsion rod, and an adjustment plate. The protective cover protects the ultrasonic probe body from bumps, and the protective cover is clamped against the ultrasonic probe body to fix it under the impact of the adjustment plate. In this way, the protective cover and the rubber protective sleeve provide dual protection for the ultrasonic probe body. When the ultrasonic probe body needs to be used, the patient bites the protective cover and the adjustment plate on the protective cover to automatically unlock and release the ultrasonic probe body, allowing medical personnel to use the ultrasonic probe body to penetrate the patient's esophagus for echocardiography. It should be noted that during the entire examination process, the protective cover supports the patient's teeth and prevents the patient's teeth from damaging the data cable of the ultrasonic probe body. After the examination is completed, the medical personnel pulls out the ultrasonic probe body, and the patient releases the protective cover and the adjustment plate, so that the protective cover and the protective sleeve can protect the ultrasonic probe body again, thereby preventing the ultrasonic probe body from falling, colliding, or contacting other hard objects during use, causing damage to the probe.
[0013] 2. In the present invention, the provision of the push plate not only allows the adjustment plate to squeeze the protective cover through the push plate, thereby increasing the force area of the protective cover when squeezed, thereby increasing the contact area of the protective cover when clamping and fixing the ultrasonic probe body, and increasing the fixing effect of the ultrasonic probe body, but also, the "L"-shaped structure formed by the extension of the push plate enables the extended part of the push plate to squeeze the end of the protective cover when it contacts the protective cover, thereby deforming the end of the protective cover, so that the end of the protective cover can block the ultrasonic probe body, thereby preventing the ultrasonic probe body from falling off from the protective cover, and increasing the stability of the ultrasonic probe body when protecting it.
[0014] 3. The laminated structure formed on the inner wall of the protective cover in the present invention enables the outer wall of the ultrasonic probe body to push the laminated structure formed by the protective cover when the ultrasonic probe body enters the interior of the protective cover, thereby causing the laminated structure of the protective cover to bend and fit the outer wall of the ultrasonic probe body. In this way, the inner wall of the protective cover fits the outer wall of the ultrasonic probe body at multiple points and in multiple directions through the formed laminated structure, thereby increasing the stability of the protective cover when fixing and protecting the ultrasonic probe body.

[0021] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the utility model relates to: a kind of transesophageal echocardiography's ultrasonic probe protective sleeve device, including ultrasonic probe body 1 and with the data line 2 of ultrasonic probe body 1 connection, the external outer wall of the data line 2 is equipped with limiting plate 3, the outer wall of the limiting plate 3 is fixedly connected with protective cover 4, the inner wall of the protective cover 4 is fixedly connected with the protective sleeve 5 of rubber material, the ultrasonic probe body 1 is equipped in the protective sleeve 5, the outer wall of the protective cover 4 is equipped with the adjusting groove 6 of symmetrical arrangement, the adjusting groove 6 is communicated with the inside of the protective cover 4, the inner wall of the adjusting groove 6 is all hinged with torsion bar 7 by torsion spring, the outer wall of the torsion bar 7 is all fixedly connected with adjusting plate 8;
[0022] Specifically, the protective cover 4 protects the ultrasound probe body 1 from being bumped, and the protective cover 4 is clamped against the ultrasound probe body 1 by the adjusting plate 8 to fix it, so that the protective cover 4 and the rubber protective cover 5 provide double protection for the ultrasound probe body 1. When the ultrasound probe body 1 needs to be used, the patient bites the protective cover 4 and the adjusting plate 8 on the protective cover 4, so that the adjusting plate 8 drives the torsion bar 7 fixed thereto to twist together, and the adjusting plate 8 twists and no longer contacts the protective cover 5. At this time, the protective cover 5 cannot clamp and fix the ultrasound probe body 1, that is, the ultrasound probe body 1 is automatically unlocked and released, so that medical staff can use the ultrasound probe body 1 to invade the patient's esophagus for echocardiography examination. It should be noted that during the entire examination process, the protective cover 4 supports the patient's teeth and prevents the patient's teeth from damaging the data line 2 of the ultrasound probe body 1. After the examination is completed, the medical staff pulls the ultrasound probe body 1 out of the patient's esophagus, so that the ultrasound probe body 1 returns to the protective cover 5. At this time, the patient releases the protective cover 4 and the adjustment plate 8, and the adjustment plate 8 will twist under the torsion spring torsion of the torsion bar 7, thereby squeezing the protective cover 5, so that the protective cover 5 is forced to squeeze the ultrasound probe body 1, so that the protective cover 4 and the protective cover 5 can protect the ultrasound probe body 1 again, thereby preventing the ultrasound probe body 1 from falling, colliding or contacting other hard objects during use, causing damage to the probe.
[0023] Furthermore, the bottom of each adjusting plate 8 is hinged with a butt plate 9, and the bottom of each butt plate 9 abuts against and squeezes the outer wall of the protective cover 5 under the pushing of the adjusting plate 8;
[0024] The ends of the abutment plate 9 extend vertically toward the protective cover 5 , and the abutment plate 9 forms an “L”-shaped structure after extension;
[0025] Specifically, the push plate 9 can not only enable the adjustment plate 8 to squeeze the protective cover 5 through the push plate 9, thereby increasing the force area of the protective cover 5 when being squeezed, thereby increasing the contact area of the protective cover 5 when clamping and fixing the ultrasonic probe body 1, and increasing the fixing effect of the ultrasonic probe body 1, but also, the "L"-shaped structure formed by the extension of the push plate 9 enables the extended part of the push plate 9 to squeeze the end of the protective cover 5 when it contacts the protective cover 5, thereby deforming the end of the protective cover 5, so that the end of the protective cover 5 can block the ultrasonic probe body 1, thereby preventing the ultrasonic probe body 1 from falling off from the protective cover 5, and increasing the stability of the ultrasonic probe body 1 when protecting it.
[0026] Furthermore, the inner wall of the protective cover 5 is extended to form a symmetrical laminated structure, and the position of the laminated structure of the protective cover 5 corresponds to the abutment plate 9;
[0027] Specifically, the laminated structure formed on the inner wall of the protective cover 5 enables the outer wall of the ultrasonic probe body 1 to push the laminated structure formed by the protective cover 5 when the ultrasonic probe body 1 enters the interior of the protective cover 5, thereby causing the laminated structure of the protective cover 5 to bend and fit the outer wall of the ultrasonic probe body 1. In this way, the inner wall of the protective cover 5 fits the outer wall of the ultrasonic probe body 1 at multiple points and in multiple directions through the formed laminated structure, thereby increasing the stability of the protective cover 5 when fixing and protecting the ultrasonic probe body 1.
[0028] Furthermore, the outer wall of the protective cover 4 is provided with a rubber bite ring 10, and the bite ring 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the protective cover 4;
[0029] Specifically, by providing the bite ring 10, the patient can directly bite the rubber bite ring 10, and the medical staff pushes the protective cover 4 into the patient's mouth to make the bite ring 10 move relatively on the protective cover 5, so that the bite ring 10 pushes the adjustment plate 8, causing the adjustment plate 8 to twist, thereby completing the unlocking of the ultrasonic probe body 1. Similarly, the bite ring 10 can be relatively reset on the protective cover 4 to complete the fixation of the ultrasonic probe body 1 again, thereby achieving the effect of not affecting the protection of the ultrasonic probe body 1, and also preventing the patient's teeth from colliding with or wearing the protective cover 4 or the adjustment plate 8.
[0030] Furthermore, the ends of the bite ring 10 extend vertically in all directions, and the extended portions of the bite ring 10 are used to abut against the patient's teeth;
[0031] Specifically, the extended portion of the bite ring 10 can play a positioning role when the patient bites the bite ring 10, so that the patient can bite the bite ring 10 accurately.
[0032] Working principle: This embodiment provides an ultrasound probe protective cover device for transesophageal echocardiography. When in use, the protective cover 4 protects the ultrasound probe body 1 from bumps, and the protective cover 4 is clamped against the ultrasound probe body 1 by the adjusting plate 8 to fix it. In this way, the protective cover 4 and the rubber protective cover 5 provide dual protection for the ultrasound probe body 1. When the ultrasound probe body 1 needs to be used, the patient bites the protective cover 4 and the adjusting plate 8 on the protective cover 4, so that the adjusting plate 8 drives the torsion bar 7 fixed thereto to twist together. The twisted adjusting plate 8 no longer contacts the protective cover 5. At this time, the protective cover 5 cannot clamp and fix the ultrasound probe body 1, that is, the ultrasound probe body 1 is automatically unlocked and released, so that medical personnel use the ultrasound probe body 1 to invade the patient. When performing an echocardiogram on the patient's esophagus, it should be noted that during the entire examination process, the protective cover 4 supports the patient's teeth and prevents the patient's teeth from damaging the data line 2 of the ultrasound probe body 1. After the examination is completed, the medical staff pulls the ultrasound probe body 1 out of the patient's esophagus, so that the ultrasound probe body 1 returns to the protective cover 5. At this time, the patient releases the protective cover 4 and the adjustment plate 8, and the adjustment plate 8 will twist under the torsion spring torsion of the torsion bar 7, thereby squeezing the protective cover 5, so that the protective cover 5 is forced to squeeze the ultrasound probe body 1, so that the protective cover 4 and the protective cover 5 can protect the ultrasound probe body 1 again, thereby preventing the ultrasound probe body 1 from falling, colliding or contacting other hard objects during use, causing damage to the probe.

Ordinary technicians in this field can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. As long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
