Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic diagnostic instrument technology, and in particular to a probe holder for a medical ultrasonic diagnostic instrument. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasound diagnostic equipment is used in clinical medical diagnostics for diagnosing conditions such as heart function, blood vessel function, blood flow, and fetal heart rate. There are many types of ultrasound diagnostic equipment, which can be broadly classified into two categories based on their display methods: spectrum analyzers and ultrasound imaging systems.
[0003] An ultrasound diagnostic instrument uses the principle of emitting and receiving ultrasound waves to form images after computer processing. It mainly consists of an ultrasound host, a monitor, a probe, and a trolley. The probe is connected to the ultrasound host via wires, and appropriate storage space is required when placing the probe.
[0004] Existing ultrasound diagnostic instrument probe holders mostly consist of an arc-shaped bracket on one side of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument, with the ultrasound probe directly inserted into the bracket. Lacking a positioning device, they are not very secure, and the probe is prone to falling off due to bumps when the ultrasound diagnostic instrument is moved, causing unnecessary damage. Therefore, there is room for improvement in this device. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a probe holder for a medical ultrasound diagnostic instrument.
[0006] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A medical ultrasound diagnostic instrument probe holder includes a diagnostic instrument body and a probe. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the right side of the diagnostic instrument body, and a placement box is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting block. The top of the placement box is provided with a cover plate. The probe is located inside the placement box, and a connecting wire is provided on the right side of the probe. A groove is formed on the top of the placement box near the right side. A support block is provided at the bottom of the probe, and a pressure plate is provided at the top of the probe. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the front side of the pressure plate, and a vertical rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement box. Both the placement box and the fixing plate have through holes. The bottom end of the vertical rod movably passes through two through holes and is movably fitted with a compression spring. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical rod, and a threaded tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate. A threaded rod is inserted into the bottom end of the threaded tube, and a circular plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the cover plate has two hinges on its left side, and the cover plate is movably connected to the top of the storage box via the hinges.
[0009] Furthermore, a first magnet is fixedly connected to the right side of the placement box near the top, a second magnet is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate near the right side, and a third magnet is fixedly connected to the top of the diagnostic instrument body near the right side. The second magnet is matched with the first magnet and the third magnet respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting wire matches the groove, and the connecting wire is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the support block is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to both the arc-shaped groove and the inner side of the pressure plate. The anti-slip pads are in contact with the probe handle.
[0012] Furthermore, the two ends of the compression spring are fixedly connected to the fixing plate and the connecting plate, respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, the threaded rod and the threaded tube are connected by a thread.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This utility model relates to a probe holder for a medical ultrasound diagnostic instrument. When fixing the probe, the device only requires the legs to lift the circular plate, which moves the pressure plate upward and thus releases the probe from the fixation. The operation is simple and convenient. By fixing the probe, the device can fix the probe in the sealed space formed by the protective shell and the probe holder, preventing the probe from detaching from the main body of the diagnostic instrument due to vibration when the device is moved, thus improving the safety of the probe.
[0016] 2. This utility model relates to a probe holder for a medical ultrasound diagnostic instrument. When the device is suitable for people with different leg heights, rotating the circular plate causes the threaded rod to rotate within the inner cavity of the threaded tube. The threaded rod moves relative to the threaded tube under the action of the thread, thereby adjusting the height of the circular plate to suit people with different leg heights, greatly improving the applicability of the device.
[0017] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The probe 9 is located inside the placement box 3. A connecting line 10 is provided on the right side of the probe 9. A groove 11 is provided on the top of the placement box 3 near the right side. The connecting line 10 matches the groove 11 and is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the groove 11. A support block 12 is provided at the bottom of the probe 9, and a pressure plate 14 is provided at the top of the probe 9. An arc-shaped groove 13 is provided on the top of the support block 12. Anti-slip pads 15 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of both the arc-shaped groove 13 and the pressure plate 14. The anti-slip pads 15 fit against the handle of the probe 9. A horizontal plate 16 is fixedly connected to the front side of the pressure plate 14, and the bottom of the horizontal plate 16 is fixed. A vertical rod 17 is connected to the bottom of the placement box 3, and a fixed plate 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement box 3. Both the placement box 3 and the fixed plate 18 have through holes. The bottom end of the vertical rod 17 passes through two through holes and is movably fitted with a compression spring 19. The bottom end of the vertical rod 17 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 20. The two ends of the compression spring 19 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 18 and the connecting plate 20, respectively. The bottom of the connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to a threaded tube 21. The bottom end of the threaded tube 21 is inserted with a threaded rod 22. The bottom end of the threaded rod 22 is fixedly connected to a circular plate 23. The threaded rod 22 and the threaded tube 21 are connected by threads.
[0033] Working principle: This utility model discloses a medical ultrasound diagnostic instrument probe holder. During use, when the probe holder is needed, the doctor uses the probe 9. First, the cover plate 4 is flipped upward. The cover plate 4 causes the second magnet 7 to flip away from the first magnet 6. The second magnet 7 flips with the cover plate 4 until it is in contact with the third magnet 8, thus fixing the cover plate 4. Then, the doctor moves his leg to below the circular plate 23 and then stands up. The leg pushes the circular plate 23 upward. The circular plate 23 causes the threaded rod 22, the threaded tube 21, the connecting plate 20, and the vertical rod 17 to move upward. The compression spring 19 is compressed. The vertical rod 17 drives the pressure plate 14 to move upward away from the probe 9 handle through the horizontal plate 16, thereby releasing the probe 9 from the fixation. Then, the probe 9 is moved upward so that it moves away from the support block 12. Then, the probe 9 is moved backward so that it moves away from the support block 12 and the pressure plate 14. Then, the probe 9 can be taken out from the placement box 3.
[0034] After using probe 9, the doctor moves his leg to below circular plate 23, then lifts his leg up, pushing circular plate 23 upward. Circular plate 23 drives threaded rod 22, threaded tube 21, connecting plate 20, and vertical rod 17 upward, compressing spring 19. Vertical rod 17 drives pressure plate 14 upward via horizontal plate 16. Then, probe 9 is moved between support block 12 and pressure plate 14, and probe 9 is brought into contact with the anti-slip pad 15 on top of support block 12. Then, the force of the leg is released, and threaded rod 22, threaded tube 21, connecting plate 20, vertical rod 17, horizontal plate 16, and pressure plate 14 move downward under the elasticity of compression spring 19 and gravity. Anti-slip pad 15 at the bottom of pressure plate 14 is brought into contact with probe 9, and pressure plate 14 clamps and fixes probe 9. Then, cover plate 4 is flipped over, so that second magnet 7 is brought into contact with first magnet 6, thereby fixing cover plate 4.
[0035] When fixing the probe 9, the device only needs to use the legs to lift the circular plate 23, which will cause the pressure plate 14 to move upward, thereby releasing the probe 9 from the fixation. The operation is simple and convenient. The device fixes the probe 9 in a sealed space formed by the protective shell and the probe holder, preventing the probe from detaching from the main body 1 of the diagnostic instrument due to vibration when the device is moved, thus improving the safety of the probe.
[0036] When the device is suitable for people with different leg heights, rotating the circular plate 23 causes the threaded rod 22 to rotate within the inner cavity of the threaded tube 21. The threaded rod 22 moves relative to the threaded tube 21 under the action of the thread, thereby adjusting the height of the circular plate 23 to suit people with different leg heights, greatly improving the applicability of the device.
