DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The following describes the implementation of the present application through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the contents disclosed in this specification.
[0024] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of this application. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this application without affecting the efficacy and purpose that can be achieved by this application. At the same time, terms such as "front", "back", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of this application. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of this application without substantially changing the technical content.
[0025] It should be noted that during the treatment process of the existing high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation treatment equipment, when a person is lying on the treatment bed in a prone position, the high-intensity and high-energy ultrasonic waves generated by the focused ultrasound transducer (treatment head) pass through the surface tissue of the human body and reach the designated depth area for focus. A small amount of ultrasonic waves will encounter a large area of reflection of the sacrum bone in the back field area of the focus, forming a superposition of sound waves, causing the temperature of the tissue at the sacrum to rise, and there is a discomfort caused by thermal expansion. For this, the conventional operation method is to use a physical continuous cooling method in the skin area close to the heated tissue to alleviate this discomfort of thermal expansion. The common physical cooling method is usually to regularly apply medical alcohol on the corresponding skin surface. Precision, or use ice compress, these operations are cumbersome and will increase the workload during the treatment process. Existing ultrasonic treatment equipment does not have a cooling function, and a mist humidifier used in the beauty field is also used to spray the surface area of the sacral skin to achieve the effect of local cooling of the skin area, so as to relieve the thermal discomfort caused by the focused ultrasound ablation treatment. Since the mist humidifier is a device other than the ultrasonic treatment device, during the treatment of the focused ultrasound ablation surgery, the mist humidifier cannot be placed on the same side as the ultrasonic treatment device. The mist humidifier needs to be placed next to the treatment window of the treatment bed, which results in the mist humidifier hindering the operation and observation during the treatment process to a certain extent.
[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present application exemplarily provides a cooling device for an ultrasonic therapeutic device, wherein the ultrasonic therapeutic device includes an ultrasonic focusing component for emitting focused ultrasonic waves toward a human body component, and the cooling device includes:
[0027] A tube sleeve 2 is provided on the ultrasonic treatment device;
[0028] A pipe assembly for conveying coolant, comprising an adapter 3 and an outer pipe 1, wherein the adapter 3 is connected to the outer pipe 1, and the outer pipe 1 is movably mounted on the pipe sleeve 2. The outer pipe 1 can be extended and retracted on the pipe sleeve 2 to extend or retract from the ultrasonic treatment device;
[0029] The atomizing assembly is used to atomize the coolant. The atomizing assembly includes a nozzle 11, an atomizing sheet 9 and an atomizing seat 7.

[0030] In the cooling device provided in the present application, the outer tube 1 of the cooling device can be extended and retracted on the tube sleeve 2. When cooling is required during ultrasonic treatment, the outer tube 1 can be extended to cool the thermally expanded area through the atomization component. The coolant is transported into the atomization seat 7 through the pipeline component, and the atomization plate 9 atomizes the coolant and sprays it out from the nozzle 11.

The drain pipe 5 is used to discharge excess coolant in the cavity, and the coolant is input into the cavity through the water inlet pipe 4. After the coolant is atomized by the high-frequency vibration of the atomizer plate 9, it is sprayed onto the skin surface through the nozzle 11 for cooling.
[0033] In the embodiment, the cooling device further comprises a supply tank 20 arranged in the ultrasonic treatment device and used for storing the cooling liquid, and a water pump 24 connected with the supply tank 20 and the atomizing piece 9 through the water inlet pipe 4 and the water outlet pipe 5.

The water outlet pipe 5 is used for discharging the excess cooling liquid in the cavity, so that the cavity is always filled with the cooling liquid. The atomizing piece 9 atomizes the cooling liquid and sprays the atomized cooling liquid from the nozzle 11. Specifically, the cooling liquid is preferably water or other liquid capable of being used as a cooling medium, and is not limited herein.
[0034] In the embodiment, the cooling device further comprises a protection pipe 17 and a protection pipe joint 18. The protection pipe joint 18 is arranged in the ultrasonic treatment device. One end of the protection pipe 17 is connected to the moving seat 14 and communicates with the outer pipe 1. The other end of the protection pipe 17 is connected to the protection pipe joint 18. The water inlet pipe 4 and the water outlet pipe 5 sequentially pass through the water pump 24, the protection pipe joint 18, the protection pipe 17 and the outer pipe 1 from the supply tank 20 and are connected to the atomizing seat 7.

In the moving process of the moving seat 14, the protection pipe 17 can protect the water inlet pipe 4, the water outlet pipe 5 and the first cable 8.
[0036] In some embodiments, the cooling device further comprises a controller 22 arranged in the ultrasonic treatment device. The controller 22 is electrically connected to the atomizing driver 19 and the water pump 24 through a second cable 21. The controller 22 is used for controlling the on-off of the atomizing driver 19 and the water pump 24. Specifically, the controller 22 is further provided with a remote controller 23. The remote controller 23 can be wiredly or wirelessly connected to the controller 22. The controller 22 can be instructed to turn on or off the atomizing driver 19 and the water pump 24 through the remote controller 23.
[0037] In the above-mentioned embodiments, at least two proximity switches 13 are arranged on the screw rod 12, and a sensing block 15 is arranged on the moving seat 14. In the moving process of the moving seat 14 driven by the reduction motor 16, the position information of the outer pipe 1 when it is extended or retracted is detected through the sensing between the sensing block 15 and the proximity switches 13.

[0038] In some embodiments, the atomizer assembly further includes a gland 10, which is detachably connected to the atomizer seat 7. The gland 10 covers the atomizer seat 7 and presses the atomizer sheet 9 onto the atomizer seat 7. Specifically, the assembly steps of the cooling device of the present application are as follows:

[0040] Step 2: Assemble the atomizer seat 7 and the adapter 3, connect the water inlet pipe 4 and the drain pipe 5 to the pipe joint of the atomizer seat 7, and clamp the atomizer plate 9 on the atomizer seat 7;
[0041] Step 3: Assemble the pressure cover 10 on the atomizer seat 7 to press the atomizer plate 9 onto the atomizer seat 7, and then assemble the nozzle 11 and the adapter 3.
[0042] After the nozzle 11 is assembled, the nozzle 11 is clamped in the tube sleeve 2, thereby limiting the outer tube 1 in the direction of retraction of the outer tube 1, to prevent the nozzle 11 from running out of the tube sleeve 2 into the ultrasonic treatment equipment due to gravity after the outer tube 1 is retracted and cannot be removed.
[0043] In another embodiment, the present application also provides an ultrasonic treatment device, which includes an ultrasonic focusing component for emitting focused ultrasonic waves to human tissue for treatment, and the ultrasonic treatment device also includes the cooling device as described above.

In conjunction with the extension and retraction adjustment of the outer tube 1, during the focused ultrasound treatment process, the patient's designated skin area can be atomized and continuously cooled to alleviate the thermal expansion discomfort caused by the temperature rise of the local tissue. The operation is simple and convenient.
