Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasound diagnostic technology, specifically to an ultrasound diagnostic instrument. Background Technology
[0002] An ultrasound diagnostic instrument is a commonly used device that uses ultrasound probes to acquire data from the human body, providing a basis for medical diagnosis. It typically includes modules such as a main unit, a display, a control platform, and probes. Before ultrasound diagnosis, a coupling agent needs to be applied to the skin. In cold weather, applying unheated coupling agent directly to the skin can easily irritate the skin due to the large temperature difference, affecting the comfort of the diagnosis. Furthermore, ultrasound probes generally have different shapes and sizes depending on the area being probed. A single main unit usually connects to multiple probes. Because the probe connection cables are relatively long, they can easily become tangled, affecting both appearance and usability. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems and provide an ultrasound diagnostic instrument that can heat the coupling agent in a low-temperature environment to improve the comfort of the diagnostic process, while also organizing and fixing the probe connection wires in an orderly manner to prevent the probe connection wires from getting tangled and affecting use and aesthetics.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: an ultrasound diagnostic instrument, including a main unit, a base for supporting the main unit, a control platform disposed above the main unit, and a display disposed above the control platform. The main unit is connected to a probe. Casters are provided below the base. The control platform is provided with a coupling agent heating device and several probe placement positions. The probe placement positions are located at the edge of the control platform and have openings that allow probe connection cables to pass through. A cable management rack is provided below the probe placement positions. A hook module is installed on the cable management rack. The hook module is provided with hooks. The hooks have horizontal rotational freedom. After the hooks rotate, their free ends abut against the lower surface of the cable management rack.
[0005] The aforementioned ultrasound diagnostic instrument uses a coupling agent heating device to heat the coupling agent in a low-temperature environment, maintaining it at a suitable temperature. This avoids excessive temperature difference between the coupling agent and the human body during use, preventing skin irritation and improving comfort during ultrasound diagnosis. The ultrasound probe cables are neatly organized and secured using a cable management rack, preventing them from hanging haphazardly and affecting the overall aesthetics of the equipment. It also prevents cables from different probes from tangling, which could interfere with use.
[0006] As an improvement, the coupling agent heating device includes a coupling agent placement tank, and spring tabs are arranged along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the coupling agent placement tank. Their function is to press and fix the outer ring of the coupling agent bottle by the spring tabs, preventing the coupling agent bottle from falling off due to vibration during the movement of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument.
[0007] As an improvement, the probe placement positions are respectively located on both sides of the control platform. The cable management rack includes a first cable management rack located on the left side of the control platform and a second cable management rack located on the right side of the control platform. The first cable management rack has a first limiting groove and a first cable passage groove at the position corresponding to the probe placement position, and the second cable management rack has a second limiting groove and a second cable passage groove at the position corresponding to the probe placement position. Its function is to fully utilize the space on both sides of the control platform to place the probes. The first and second limiting grooves can provide limiting support for the probe terminals. The first and second limiting grooves are respectively set according to probes of different sizes, which can improve the compatibility with the probes and make the probe placement more stable.
[0008] As an improvement, the first and second cable management frames are at different heights, and the bottom opening sizes of the first and second limiting grooves are different. This is to allow the first and second cable management frames to be compatible with probes of different lengths and outer diameters.
[0009] As an improvement, the hook module includes a limiting pin, the upper end of which is threaded to the cable management rack, and the lower end of which is provided with a limiting block. The hook is installed between the limiting block and the lower surface of the cable management rack. Its function is that the limiting pin serves both to fix the cable management rack and to limit the installation of the hook, thus simplifying the structure of the hook module.
[0010] As an improvement, a compression spring and a slider are fitted onto the limiting pin. The slider is located above the compression spring, and the hook is mounted on the slider. In its natural state, the upper surface of the free end of the hook is higher than the lower surface of the cable management frame. Its function is to require downward pressure on the hook to rotate to the lower surface of the cable management frame. This ensures that when the free end of the hook abuts against the lower surface of the cable management frame, it is pressed firmly against the lower surface by the restoring force of the compression spring, preventing the hook from rotating due to vibration during the movement of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument and causing the probe connection cable to scatter.
[0011] In combination with the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The ultrasound diagnostic instrument provided by this utility model can heat the coupling agent in a low-temperature environment to maintain it at a suitable temperature, reduce the temperature difference between the coupling agent and the human body, and improve the comfort of the human body during ultrasound diagnosis. At the same time, keeping the coupling agent at its optimal operating temperature also helps to improve the accuracy of diagnostic results.
[0013] 2. The ultrasound diagnostic instrument provided by this utility model provides a more suitable placement position for probes of different sizes through the cooperation of the cable management frame and the probe placement position, making the placement of the probe more stable and preventing the probe from falling off the probe placement position due to vibration during the movement of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument.
[0014] 3. This utility model uses a hook module to organize and fix the probe connection wires. The connection wires of different probes are placed separately to avoid them from getting tangled together. The coiled probe connection wires are hung on the hooks and the hooks are rotated to abut against the lower surface of the cable management rack, which can further reduce the contact and collision between adjacent probe connection wires. At the same time, it can prevent the hooks from shaking due to vibration and the probe connection wires from falling off the hooks. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To illustrate the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0022] Please see the appendix Figure 1-5An ultrasound diagnostic instrument includes a main unit 1, a base 3 for supporting the main unit 1, a control platform 4 disposed above the main unit 1, and a display 9 disposed above the control platform 4. The main unit 1 is provided with a probe connector 2, and a probe connector 21 is connected to the probe connector 2. The free end of the probe connector 21 is connected to a probe (not shown in the figure). Casters 31 are provided below the base 3. The control platform 4 is provided with a coupling agent heating device 5 and several probe placement positions 41. The probe placement positions 41 are located at the edge of the control platform 4 and have openings that allow the probe connectors to pass through. A cable management rack is provided below the probe placement positions 41. A hook module 8 is installed on the cable management rack. The hook module 8 is provided with a hook 84. The hook 84 has a horizontal rotational degree of freedom. After the hook 84 rotates, its free end abuts against the lower surface of the cable management rack.
[0023] In the above embodiments, the coupling agent heating device 5 is used to place medical ultrasound coupling agent in a normal temperature environment. In a low temperature environment, the coupling agent heating device 5 can be turned on to heat the coupling agent, so that the coupling agent is at a suitable temperature, reducing the temperature difference between the coupling agent and the human body, avoiding irritation to the human skin due to excessive temperature difference, improving comfort during diagnosis, and keeping the coupling agent at a suitable working temperature to improve the accuracy of diagnostic results. After the probe connection cable 21 is used, it is rolled up and hung on the hook 84, and the hook 84 is rotated so that its free end abuts against the lower surface of the cable management frame, thereby realizing the organization and fixation of the probe connection cable 21. Fixing the probe connection cable 21 in this way can make adjacent probe connection cables 21 parallel or nearly parallel after fixation, reducing the contact between adjacent probe connection cables 21 and avoiding tangling between different probe connection cables 21, which would affect the use.
[0024] Preferably, the coupling agent heating device 5 includes a coupling agent placement tank 51, and a spring piece 52 is arranged in the inner circumferential direction of the coupling agent placement tank 51.
[0025] In the above embodiments, the spring piece 52 installed in the coupling agent placement groove 51 can apply pressure to the outer circumference of the coupling agent bottle, improving the stability of the coupling agent bottle placement and preventing the coupling agent from falling off due to vibration during the movement of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument. Additionally, when the heating component is located on the side of the coupling agent placement groove, placing the spring piece 52 on one side of the inner ring of the coupling agent placement groove 51 can press the coupling agent bottle tightly against the heating side, increasing the contact between the coupling agent bottle and the heating surface and improving the heat conduction effect.
[0026] Preferably, the probe placement positions 41 are respectively arranged on both sides of the control platform. The cable management rack includes a first cable management rack 6 arranged on the left side of the control platform 4 and a second cable management rack 7 arranged on the right side of the control platform 4. The first cable management rack 6 is provided with a first limiting groove 61 and a first cable passage groove 62 at the position corresponding to the probe placement position 41. The second cable management rack 7 is provided with a second limiting groove 71 and a second cable passage groove 72 at the position corresponding to the probe placement position 41.
[0027] In the above embodiments, the first limiting groove 61 or the second limiting groove 71 together with the probe placement position 41 constitutes a space for accommodating the probe. The first limiting groove 61 and the second limiting groove 71 can provide limiting support for the probe wiring terminal, making the probe placement more stable. In order to improve the adaptability to the size and shape of the probe, the first limiting groove 61 and the second limiting groove 71 are set separately according to probes of different sizes and shapes, so that they are suitable for the placement of probes of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the stability of probe placement.
[0028] Preferably, the first cable management rack 6 and the second cable management rack 7 have different heights, and the bottom opening sizes of the first limiting groove 61 and the second limiting groove 71 are different. For example, the first cable management rack 6 is higher than the second cable management rack 7, and the bottom opening size of the first limiting groove 61 is smaller than the bottom opening size of the second limiting groove 71.
[0029] In the above embodiment, the second limiting groove 71 and the probe placement position 41 constitute a space for accommodating a common probe. The first limiting groove 61, which has a higher height and a smaller bottom opening, and the probe placement position 41 can constitute a space for accommodating a slender probe, thus preventing the slender probe from falling off due to vibration during the movement of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument because its center of gravity is too high.
[0030] Preferably, the hook module 8 includes a limiting pin 81, the upper end of which is threaded to the cable management rack, and the lower end of which is provided with a limiting block 811. The hook 84 is installed between the limiting block 811 and the lower surface of the cable management rack.
[0031] In the above embodiment, the upper end of the limiting pin 81 is used to fix the cable management frame, and the lower end is used to install the hook 84, making the overall structure of the hook module 8 simpler.
[0032] Preferably, a compression spring 82 and a slider 83 are sleeved on the limiting pin 81. The slider 83 is located above the compression spring 82, and the hook 84 is installed on the slider 83. In its natural state, the upper surface of the free end of the hook 84 is higher than the lower surface of the cable management frame.
[0033] In the above embodiment, in its natural state, the upper surface of the free end of the hook 84 is higher than the lower surface of the cable management frame. This means that after suspending the probe connection cable 21, the hook 84 needs to be pulled down to rotate it to the lower surface of the cable management frame. When the free end of the hook 84 abuts against the lower surface of the cable management frame, the compression spring 82 is in a compressed state. This causes the free end of the hook 84 to be pressed against the lower surface of the cable management frame by the restoring force of the compression spring. This avoids the risk of the hook 84 rotating due to vibration during the movement of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument, which could cause the probe connection cable 21 to fall off due to vibration. It also avoids collisions between adjacent probe connection cables 21 due to the rotation of the hook 84.
[0034] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this utility model are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0035] The present invention and its embodiments have been described in detail above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings only show some embodiments of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art, inspired by this description, can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all of these should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
