[0065] The utility model will be described in further detail below by means of specific embodiments in connection with the drawings. In different embodiments, similar elements are provided with similar reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described in order to make the present application better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily realize that some features can be omitted in different cases or replaced by other elements, materials or methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification in order to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail for those skilled in the art according to the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0066] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate way to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be sequentially adjusted or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and do not mean that the sequence is necessary, unless otherwise stated that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0067] The serial numbers of components used herein, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects, and do not have any sequential or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" in the present application include direct and indirect connection (coupling) unless otherwise specified.

[0068] In an ultrasonic imaging device, how to deploy various ultrasonic function modules into a main machine box with limited volume size is one of the technical difficulties to be solved. For example:

[0069] 1. The number of receiving and transmitting channels of the ultrasonic imaging device is increased (for example, from 192 to 256), and more channels mean more transmitting and receiving circuits. If the conventional hardware board card architecture of the ultrasonic main machine is used, 1 engine board + 4 TR64 (64 channel transmitting circuit) boards are needed, and the board card assembly slot will increase, which necessarily requires a larger volume of the main machine box to be configured;

[0070] 2. The transmission of the ultrasonic imaging device changes from the conventional transmission (for example, 17 levels) to the arbitrary wave transmission (for example, at least 1024 levels), and the volume of the transmitting circuit will increase significantly. If the conventional layout of the ultrasonic main machine is used to deploy the transmitting circuit and the receiving circuit on the same board card, the difficulty and complexity will be significantly increased;

[0071] 3. The software beam synthesis technology is used in the ultrasonic imaging device (i.e., the beam synthesis processing is realized through software (not hardware)), in which case the hardware does not compress the original ultrasonic echo data, but uploads it directly to the software, so the data bandwidth uploaded will be very large. Based on the hardware board card architecture of the existing ultrasonic imaging device, the implementation difficulty is great.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 In an embodiment, an ultrasonic imaging device, such as a medical ultrasonic imaging device, is provided, which can detect a patient using ultrasonic wave signals and form an image to assist doctors in medical diagnosis and treatment. The ultrasonic imaging device includes an ultrasonic main machine A, a display device B, an operating device C, and other functional components as needed.

[0073] Among them, the ultrasonic main machine A is mainly used for processing ultrasonic data and generating ultrasonic images; the display device B can be a display, mainly used for displaying ultrasonic information (such as ultrasonic image information, information of processing process, results of processing completion and other information); the operating device C can be combined and built by an operation panel and keys, knobs or touch units arranged on the operation panel, etc. Users can input instructions through the operating device C to control the ultrasonic imaging device. In some embodiments, the ultrasonic main machine A can be located at the lower part of the whole device, while the display device B and the operating device C can be installed on the ultrasonic main machine A and arranged in electrical connection with the ultrasonic main machine A.

[0074] Hereinafter, the ultrasound main machine A and its related structure are mainly introduced.

[0075] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The ultrasound main machine A provided in an embodiment includes a main machine shell 10, a first main machine motherboard 50, a second main machine motherboard 60 and a plurality of ultrasound function modules; wherein the ultrasound function module can be understood as a collection of related devices for realizing a certain preset function or certain preset functions of the ultrasound imaging device or the ultrasound main machine A; for example, the main control module 21 built by the combination of CPU, GPU and related devices, etc. In other words, as for each ultrasound function module, it can be installed and applied to the ultrasound main machine A as a relatively independent structure or combination.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 and in combination with Figure 7 The main machine shell 10 can be the whole or part of the outline structure of the main machine body or the device body, for example, the display device B and the operation device C can be installed on the main machine shell 10, thereby constituting the outline structure of the whole ultrasound imaging device; the main machine shell 10 can also be arranged in the device body, at this time, the device body can be understood as the related structural member or the collection of structural members (usually, the device body is located in the lower part of the whole device) in the ultrasound imaging device which plays a supporting and carrying role for the related devices, and the display device B and the operation device C, etc. can be installed on the device body.

[0077] In specific implementation, the trolley device D, etc. can be arranged at the bottom of the ultrasound main machine A (for example, the main machine shell 10) or the bottom of the device body, which can include the castor, the hub motor, the brake structure, etc. By means of the trolley device D, the ultrasound imaging device can be conveniently moved to or stayed at the preset space position.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 and in combination with Figure 4 The plurality of ultrasound function modules are arranged in the main machine shell 10 in parallel and spaced apart along the first direction, the first main machine motherboard 50 (which can be called large motherboard) extends along the first direction and is arranged on one side of the plurality of function modules in the second direction; the plurality of ultrasound function modules are all connected to or installed on the first main machine motherboard 50, and the second main machine motherboard 60 (which can be called small motherboard) is arranged on the other side of the plurality of function modules in the second direction, and part of the ultrasound function modules are connected and arranged with the second main machine motherboard 60. The first direction can be perpendicular to the second direction. These ultrasound function modules are generally parallel to each other, and there is a spacing space between the ultrasound function modules.

[0079] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1The plurality of ultrasound function modules can be distinguished or arranged into a master module 21, a receiving module 22, a transmitting module 23, a power supply module 24, a battery module 25, a PHV (Programmable High Voltage) module 26 and a probe plate module 27 according to the functions thereof in the ultrasound imaging device or the ultrasound host A. The transmitting module 23 can be used to control the ultrasound probe to perform the transmission of ultrasound waves. The receiving module can control the ultrasound probe to receive the echoes of the transmitted ultrasound waves and obtain the ultrasound echo signals. The master module 21 can be used to perform various processing on the ultrasound echoes, such as front-end processing (such as beamforming, etc.) and / or back-end processing (such as various processing on the formed images, etc.). The power supply module 24 and the battery module 25 can be used to provide power for the ultrasound device. The PHV module 26 can be used to generate the high voltage required for transmitting ultrasound waves. The probe plate module 27 can be used to connect with the probes connected to the ultrasound device, realize the function of switching between multiple probes, etc.

[0080] The receiving module 22, the PHV module 26, the transmitting module 23 and the probe plate module 27 are sequentially arranged in the front-rear direction (i.e., the first direction) from back to front on the front side of the master module 21, the battery module 25 and the power supply module 24 are arranged on the rear side of the master module 21 in the front-rear direction, and the first host motherboard 50 is arranged on the right side of the plurality of ultrasound function modules in the left-right direction (i.e., the second direction); the second host motherboard 60 is arranged on the left side of the master module 21 and the receiving module 22 in the left-right direction and is electrically connected with the master module 21 and the receiving module 22.

[0081] In specific implementation, the number of the transmitting modules 23 can be set according to actual conditions, for example, two or other numbers, the number of receiving channels of the receiving module 22 is an integer multiple of the number of transmitting channels of each transmitting module 23, and the sum of the number of transmitting channels of the transmitting modules 23 is equal to the total number of receiving channels of the receiving module 22. For example, two transmitting modules 23, each of which has 128 transmitting channels, and the receiving module 22 has 256 receiving channels. Of course, the number of channels of the transmitting module 23 and the receiving module 22 can also be adaptively set to other numbers.

[0082] Thus, by arranging the plurality of ultrasound function modules side by side and spaced apart between the first host motherboard 50 and the second host motherboard 60, the first host motherboard 50 can be used as a common connection or mounting carrier for the plurality of ultrasound function modules, facilitating assembly of each ultrasound function module in the host housing 10; by virtue of the electrical connection relationship established between the receiving module 22 and the host control module 21 by the second host motherboard 60, data information generated by other ultrasound function modules is uploaded from the receiving module 22 to the host control module 21 via the second host motherboard 60, for example, raw ultrasound echo data does not need to be compressed and can be directly uploaded to the host control module 21 via the receiving module 22 and the second host motherboard 60, so that the host control module 21 can implement beamforming processing by using software and ultimately generate image data. In terms of the host control module 21, it can be a combination of a CPU module (i.e., a central processing unit module) and a GPU module (i.e., a graphics processing unit module), or it can be only a CPU module or a GPU module; the host control module 21 can also be a programmable controller module (i.e., a single function module or a combination of multiple function modules that can be directly programmed and controlled by software) different from the image processor module and the central processing unit module.

[0083] On the one hand, most of the first host motherboard 50, the second host motherboard 60 and the plurality of ultrasound function modules are arranged vertically to the horizontal plane in the host housing 10, which not only enables full use of the structural space of the host housing 10 without substantially increasing the volume of the host housing 10, but also makes the arrangement of the internal hardware modules of the ultrasound host A more reasonable and orderly in the host housing 10, and facilitates disassembly and assembly. At the same time, by arranging the ultrasound function modules side by side and spaced apart, there is a space between the modules, which facilitates the airway design of the ultrasound host A, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation performance of the ultrasound function modules or the entire ultrasound host A.

[0084] On the other hand, based on the first host motherboard 50 and the second host motherboard 60, a double motherboard architecture can be formed in the ultrasound host A, which can realize large-bandwidth data transmission, directly upload uncompressed raw ultrasound echo data to the host control module 21 for processing via the second motherboard 60, and thus implement beamforming processing by using software. Based on the layout of the internal hardware architecture of the ultrasound host A and the selection of the number of channels of the receiving module 22 and the transmitting module 23, a hardware architecture of "256 or more channels + arbitrary wave transmission + software beamforming" can be formed in the ultrasound host A or the ultrasound imaging device, thereby greatly improving the performance of the ultrasound imaging device.

[0085] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 2, the plurality of ultrasound function modules can also be distinguished into or arranged into the master control module 21, the power supply module 24, the battery module 25, the PHV module 26, the probe plate module 27, the engine module 28 and the transmitting and receiving module 29 according to respective roles played in the ultrasound imaging device or the ultrasound host A; wherein the transmitting and receiving module 29 can be understood as the transmitting circuit and the receiving circuit integrated in the same module, the engine module 28, the PHV module 26, the transmitting and receiving module 29, the probe plate module 27 are sequentially and spacedly arranged in front of the master control module 21 from back to front, and the battery module 25 and the power supply module 26 are arranged on the back side of the master control module 21; the first host motherboard 50 is arranged on the right side of the plurality of ultrasound function modules, and each ultrasound function module is connected to or mounted on the first host motherboard 50; and the second host motherboard 60 is arranged on the left side of the master control module 21 and the engine module 28 and is electrically connected with the master control module 21 and the engine module 28. Here, the engine module 28 can be used to perform front-end processing of the ultrasound echo signal, such as beam synthesis and the like. Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the master control module 21 can be used to perform back-end processing, such as various processing on the formed ultrasound image.

[0086] In specific implementation, the number of the transmitting and receiving modules 29 can be set according to actual conditions, for example, four or other numbers, the number of physical channels of the engine module 28 is an integer multiple of the number of physical channels of each transmitting and receiving module 29, and the sum of the number of physical channels of the transmitting and receiving modules 29 is equal to the total number of the number of physical channels of the engine module 28; for example, four transmitting and receiving modules 29, the number of physical channels of each transmitting and receiving module 29 is set to 64, and the number of physical channels of the engine module 28 is set to 256. Of course, the number of physical channels of the transmitting and receiving module 29 and the engine module 28 can also be adaptively set to other numbers.

[0087] In this way, the data generated by the transmitting and receiving module 29 can be uploaded to the master control module 21 via the engine module 28 and the second host motherboard 60, so that a hardware architecture different from the foregoing embodiment can be formed, and the ultrasound host A or the ultrasound imaging device can also be provided with the performance of "256 or more channels + arbitrary wave transmission + software beam synthesis".

[0088] Please refer to Figure 3 and combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the embodiment of the application further provides an ultrasound host A, which is different from the ultrasound host of the foregoing embodiment in that the second host motherboard 60 is omitted; the specific description is as follows.

[0089] For example, the plurality of ultrasound function modules are divided into or arranged into a master module 21, a receiving module 22, a transmitting module 23, a power module 24, a battery module 25, a PHV module 26, and a probe plate module 27; wherein the receiving module 22, the PHV module 26, the transmitting module 23, and the probe plate module 27 are arranged in sequence from back to front and are spaced apart on the front side of the master module 21, and the battery module 25 and the power module 24 are arranged along the front-rear direction on the rear side of the master module 21; the first host motherboard 50 is arranged on the right side of the plurality of ultrasound function modules or on the right side, and the plurality of ultrasound function modules are mounted and electrically connected to the first host motherboard 50.

[0090] Thus, a single motherboard architecture can be formed in the ultrasound host A, and the data information generated by the related ultrasound function modules (such as the transmitting module 23 and the receiving module 22) is directly uploaded to the master module 21 through the first host motherboard 50, so that the ultrasound host A or the ultrasound imaging device has the performance of “256 or more channels + arbitrary wave transmission + software beam synthesis”.

[0091] For example, when the plurality of ultrasound function modules are divided into a master module 21, a power module 24, a battery module 25, a PHV module 26, a probe plate module 27, an engine module 28, and a transmitting-receiving module 29, each ultrasound function module is mounted and electrically connected to the first host motherboard 50, and the data information of the engine module 28 and the transmitting-receiving module 29 can be directly uploaded to the master module 21 through the first host motherboard 50.

[0092] In other embodiments, according to the setting of the overall hardware structure architecture of the ultrasound host A, the master module 21, the receiving module 22, the transmitting module 23, the power module 24, the battery module 25, the PHV module 26, the probe plate module 27, the engine module 28, and the transmitting-receiving module 29 can also be arranged in other orders; of course, according to the functional configuration of the ultrasound host A, part of the ultrasound function modules can be omitted (such as omitting the battery module 25 and directly connecting the power module 24 to a power supply independent of the ultrasound imaging device or the ultrasound host A), or part of the ultrasound modules can be arranged as one module (such as integrating the battery module 25 and the power module 24 into an integrated module structure); all of these will not be repeated here.

[0093] It should be noted that the person skilled in the art should know the functions of the host module 21, the receiving module 22, the transmitting module 23, the power module 24, the battery module 25, the PHV module 26, the probe plate module 27, the engine module 28, the transmitting and receiving module 29, etc. in the ultrasonic imaging device or the ultrasonic host A, for example, the receiving module 22 can function to control the ultrasonic probe to receive the ultrasonic echo signal, the transmitting module 23 can function to control the ultrasonic probe to transmit the ultrasonic wave signal, and the host module 21 can implement beam synthesis processing and finally output the ultrasonic image; therefore, the specific functions of each ultrasonic functional module and the corresponding structures configured to implement the functions are not described in detail herein.

[0094] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The host shell 10 includes a box wall plate 11, a partition plate 12 and a support frame; wherein the box wall plate 11 can be a plurality of sheet metal plate pieces, which are spliced based on the support frame, so that the box wall plate 11 encloses to form a box space of the host shell 10; for example, the box wall plate 11 can include a top plate piece, a bottom plate piece and a peripheral plate piece enclosed by a front plate piece, a rear plate piece, a left plate piece and a right plate piece, which are spliced to form a host shell 10 with a substantially cubic outer contour shape or box space shape; of course, the box wall plate 11 can also be configured to form a host shell 10 with other geometric shapes, such as a hollow circular cylindrical structure, etc. At the same time, the box wall plate 11 is provided with an air inlet 10a and an air outlet 10b, the air inlet 10a is mainly used for the air flow outside the host shell 10 or the device host A to enter the host shell 10 (i.e. the box space), and the air outlet 10b provides a structural space for the air flow to be discharged from the inside of the host shell 10.

[0095] The partition plate 12 can be configured by selecting the material and structure of the box wall plate 11, which is arranged in the box space and mainly used for separating or isolating the space area of the box space to form a plurality of chambers with the same or different functions in the box space; and the plurality of chambers include a plurality of first chambers 10c independent of each other, which are respectively arranged between the air inlet 10a and the air outlet 10b, so as to form a plurality of parallel air flow paths between the air inlet 10a and the air outlet 10b by means of the plurality of first chambers 10c.

[0096] It should be noted that the "mutual independence" refers to that the first chambers 10c are mutually isolated in structure or do not have a direct communication relationship. For example, for two adjacent first chambers 10c, the two first chambers 10c are separated by a corresponding partition plate 12, and the partition plate 12 can not be provided with a related structure that can cause the two first chambers 10c to have a direct communication relationship, that is, the two adjacent first chambers 10c are independent of each other or mutually independent.

[0097] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 6 , each ultrasonic function module can be provided as a box type structure independent of each other, or part of the ultrasonic function modules are integrated to form a box type structure. For example, the master control module 21, the receiving module 22, each transmitting module 23, the PHV module 26, the probe plate module 27, the engine module 28, and each transmitting and receiving module 29 can each adopt a box type structure, and the power supply module 24 and the battery module 25 can be integrated to form a box type structure. Each box can be respectively arranged in a corresponding first chamber 10c, that is, each ultrasonic function module is respectively arranged on a corresponding air flow path. Of course, two or more ultrasonic function modules can also be arranged in the same first chamber 10c to meet different structural design requirements.

[0098] In the following, the plurality of ultrasonic function modules are divided into or provided as the master control module 21, the receiving module 22, the transmitting module 23, the power supply module 24, the battery module 25, the PHV module 26, and the probe plate module 27, and the power supply module 24 and the battery module 25 are provided as a box type structure (which can be defined as a power supply and battery cabinet), and the other modules are each an independent box type structure. The structural relationship between the main shell 10 and each module is described.

[0099] Referring to Figure 4 , the fan assembly is arranged in the main shell 10, for example, the fan assembly can be arranged outside or inside the main shell 10 and located close to the air inlet 10a or the air outlet 10b. With the help of the fan assembly, the air flow outside the ultrasonic host A or the ultrasonic imaging device can be driven to enter the box space from the air inlet 10a, carry away the heat generated by the ultrasonic function module when flowing through the ultrasonic function module arranged in the first chamber 10c, and finally be discharged to the outside space of the ultrasonic host A or the ultrasonic imaging device from the air outlet 10b, so as to realize heat dissipation of the ultrasonic function module.

[0100] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4The fan assembly includes a first fan module 31 and a second fan module 32. Some of the plurality of first chambers 10c are in communication with the first fan module 31, and the other plurality of first chambers 10c are in communication with the second fan module 32. The first fan module 31 and the second fan module 32 are arranged on the main machine housing 10 near the air outlet 10b, i.e., the first fan module 31 and the second fan module 32 are specifically arranged on the air outlet side of the corresponding part of the first chamber 10c. For example, the first fan module 31 can be arranged in communication with the air outlet side of the first chamber 10c corresponding to the power battery case, and the second fan module 32 can be arranged in communication with the air outlet side of the remaining first chambers 10c (it can also be understood that the receiving module 22, the transmitting module 23, the probe plate module 27, and the PHV module 26 share the second fan module 32).

[0101] In this way, according to the power consumption (or heat generation, heat dissipation requirement, etc.) of each ultrasonic function module, the first fan module 31 and the second fan module 32 are used to dissipate heat for the corresponding ultrasonic function module. At the same time, the air is discharged from the air outlet 10b near the ultrasonic host A or the external space of the ultrasonic imaging device, which can quickly discharge the heat generated by the ultrasonic function module while driving the airflow to flow through the ultrasonic function module, thereby avoiding heat accumulation in the device host A or the main machine housing 10.

[0102] It should be noted that the first fan module 31 and the second fan module 32 can be selected according to the number of the corresponding first chamber 10c, the space ratio of the corresponding first chamber 10c in the main machine housing 10, the power consumption (or heat dissipation requirement) of the corresponding ultrasonic function module, etc. Single fan or combination of multiple single fans; or, more fan modules are added to the ultrasonic host A, so that different first chambers 10c or ultrasonic function modules can be in communication with different fan modules.

[0103] In addition, based on the change of the structure of the main machine housing 10 or the device host A, the fan module can also be arranged at other positions of the main machine housing 10, such as the air inlet side of the first chamber 10c.

[0104] In one aspect, with the configured plurality of first chambers 10c, a plurality of airflow paths can be formed in parallel communication between the air inlet 10a and the air outlet 10b inside the main cabinet. The air volume (or air speed) of each airflow path can be adjusted according to the power consumption (heat generation or heat dissipation requirement), volume, and size of each ultrasonic functional module, so as to dissipate heat from each ultrasonic functional module and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the ultrasonic main machine A. For example, the ultrasonic functional modules can be cooled by adjusting the speed or working mode of the first fan module 31 and the second fan module 32. In this way, the problems of complex structure and excessive noise during heat dissipation of the ultrasonic main machine A caused by increasing the number of heat sinks and the power of the cooling fan of each ultrasonic functional module can be effectively avoided. At the same time, the air path structure inside the ultrasonic main machine A is optimized, which provides a guarantee for the normal heat dissipation of the ultrasonic main machine A or each ultrasonic functional module.

[0105] On the other hand, by integrating the structure of each ultrasonic functional module and providing a reasonable structure assembly space for the ultrasonic functional module by means of the corresponding first chamber 10c, the ultrasonic functional module can be easily disassembled, maintained, or replaced, thereby effectively reducing the disassembly steps of the ultrasonic functional module and creating favorable conditions for improving the disassembly and maintenance efficiency of the ultrasonic main machine A.

[0106] In other embodiments, the main cabinet 10 can also be formed by combining and assembling a plurality of independent cabinets. For example, the first chamber 10c corresponding to each ultrasonic functional module can be an independent cabinet structure, and the internal space of the cabinet structure is the corresponding first chamber 10c. Similar to the air inlet 10a and the air outlet 10b, structures are provided on each cabinet structure, and then the cabinet structures are combined (for example, arranged in a hierarchical stack) to form the main cabinet 10. Of course, the structure of each ultrasonic functional module can be set to naturally form a corresponding cabinet structure, and the ultrasonic main machine A with the main cabinet 10 can be formed by combining the ultrasonic functional modules. All of the above will not be described here.

[0107] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The plurality of first chambers 10c are arranged side by side along the front-rear direction of the main cabinet 10 (or the ultrasonic main machine A). The upper side of each first chamber 10c is arranged in communication with the air inlet 10a as the air inlet side, and the air inlet 10a is arranged on the upper part of the rear side (for example, the upper part of the rear plate) of the main cabinet 10. The lower side of each first chamber 10c is arranged in communication with the air outlet 10b as the air outlet side, and the air outlet 10b is arranged on the bottom (for example, the bottom plate) of the main cabinet 10.

[0108] Therefore, by arranging multiple first chambers 10c in parallel in a preset direction or manner, a parallel heat dissipation air path structure with rear air inlet and bottom air outlet is formed. With the cooperation of the fan assembly, airflow can be driven into each first chamber 10c and discharged from the air outlet 10b after flowing through the corresponding ultrasonic functional module, so as to carry away the heat generated by the ultrasonic functional module. This not only creates conditions for effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency, but also ensures that the ultrasonic functional modules do not interfere with each other. At the same time, it can effectively prevent dust and other substances from being sucked and accumulated in the main machine shell 10, which is conducive to ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the ultrasonic main machine A.

[0109] In specific implementation, the power battery case, the main control module 21, the receiving module 22, the PHV module 26, the transmitting module 23, and the probe plate module 27 can be sequentially arranged from rear to front in the main machine shell 10 by means of the corresponding first chamber 10c. At the same time, the first fan module 31 can be arranged to dissipate heat for the power battery case, and the other ultrasonic functional modules except the power battery case can share the second fan module 32. By using the speed regulation function of the two fan modules, the ultrasonic functional modules can be targeted for heat dissipation, which is also conducive to reducing the noise of the ultrasonic main machine A during operation, achieving a silent effect. Of course, according to the specific structure and function of the main machine shell 10 or the ultrasonic main machine A, the number, position, and cooperation relationship of the aforementioned ultrasonic functional modules and fan modules can also be adjusted or exchanged as needed.

[0110] It should be noted that the above description is combined with Figure 7 For the sake of distinction and description, the direction of the air inlet 10a and the air outlet 10b relative to the first chamber 10c is defined as the third direction. That is, when the first direction is the front-rear direction of the main machine shell 10, the second direction is the left-right direction of the main machine shell 10, and the third direction can be the up-down direction of the main machine shell 10.

[0111] In another embodiment, the first direction can also be the left-right direction of the main machine shell 10, the second direction can be the front-rear direction of the main machine shell 10, and the third direction can be the up-down direction of the main machine shell 10. That is, multiple first chambers 10c are arranged side by side along the left-right direction of the main machine shell 10, and the air inlet 10a and the air outlet 10b are arranged in the upper space and the lower space of the multiple first chambers 10c, respectively.

[0112] In other embodiments, multiple first chambers 10c can also be arranged in the main machine shell 10 in other ways, and the air inlet 10a and the air outlet 10b can be arranged in the left space, the right space, the front space, or the right space of all or part of the first chambers 10c according to actual needs to meet different structural and heat dissipation needs of the ultrasonic main machine A, which will not be described here.

[0113] In one embodiment, please refer toFigure 4 and Figure 5 , the host shell 10 also has a drainage channel 10d, that is, the drainage channel 10d is also included in the plurality of chambers; specifically, the drainage channel 10d extends along the arrangement direction (for example, the front-rear direction) of the plurality of first chambers 10c and is above the plurality of first chambers 10c; the air inlet 10a is arranged on the upper rear side of the host shell 10c and is in communication with the plurality of first chambers 10c through the drainage channel 10d, that is, the drainage channel 10d is equivalent to an air inlet channel; in a specific implementation, an air distribution port 10e can be formed on the partition plate 12 between the drainage channel 10d and the first chamber 10c, the air distribution port 10e is in one-to-one correspondence with each first chamber 10c and has a corresponding size or ventilation area according to the power consumption of the corresponding ultrasonic functional module; correspondingly, the fan assembly can be arranged on the air outlet side of the corresponding first chamber 10c; thus, the air flow entering the drainage channel 10d from the air inlet 10a can enter the corresponding first chamber 10c under the distribution of the air distribution port 10e and complete heat dissipation after flowing through the corresponding ultrasonic functional module, and finally be discharged from the air outlet 10b.

[0114] In other embodiments, the size or ventilation area of the air distribution port 10e can also be uniform, at which time the drainage channel 10e can adopt a variable-diameter structure, for example, a tapered or gradually expanding channel structure along its extension direction, so as to also distribute the air flow. Of course, a drainage channel 10d equivalent to an air outlet channel can also be arranged between the air outlet 10a and the plurality of first chambers 10c, and the drainage channel 10d is used to distribute the air outlet of each first chamber 10c to achieve targeted heat dissipation of each ultrasonic functional module.

[0115] One embodiment, please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the box wall plate 11 also has a plurality of mounting ports (not shown in the figure) in one-to-one correspondence with the first chambers 10c, the mounting ports can be arranged on one side of the corresponding first chamber 10c along the second direction (for example, arranged on the left side of the corresponding first chamber 10c along the left-right direction), so as to provide convenience for disassembly and assembly of the ultrasonic functional module without affecting the air flow path layout, and after the ultrasonic functional module is installed in the corresponding first chamber 10c, the ultrasonic functional module can be used to cover the corresponding mounting port.

[0116] In other embodiments, the mounting port can also be arranged on the partition plate 12 corresponding to each first chamber 10c (for example, the mounting port is arranged on the partition plate 12 located on the left side of the corresponding first chamber 10c), so that the first chamber 10c has a mounting port capable of communicating with the outside of the main machine shell 10. After the ultrasonic function module is installed in the first chamber 10c, the ultrasonic function module is covered by the cabinet wall plate 11, so as to ensure the integrity of the outer contour surface of the main machine shell 10 or the ultrasonic host A.

[0117] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 and combining Figure 4 , at least part of the internal configuration of the ultrasonic function module (for example, the power battery case, the main control module 21, the receiving module 22, the transmitting module 23, the probe plate module 27 and the PHV module 26) is provided with an air flow channel 40, which is mainly used for guiding air flow to flow through the corresponding ultrasonic function module, so as to sufficiently dissipate heat of the ultrasonic function module. Taking the power battery case as an example, air inlets can be arranged at the upper and lower ends of the power battery case, and a structural channel communicating the two air inlets is formed by the structural arrangement relationship between the internal devices, so that the power battery case itself has the air flow channel 40. Therefore, under the action of the fan assembly, air flow can enter the power battery case from the upper air inlet of the power battery case, and then flow through the internal devices and then be discharged from the lower air inlet of the power battery case, and finally be discharged to the outside of the ultrasonic host A through the air outlet 10b of the main machine shell 10. Therefore, by means of the air flow channel 40, the air flow can carry away most of the heat generated by the ultrasonic function module, so as to effectively dissipate heat of the ultrasonic function module.

[0118] It should be noted that, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bold dashed line with an arrow in the figure represents the approximate flow direction or flow path of the air flow. Figures 1 to 3 The figure shows the approximate position relationship of the ultrasonic modules, the large mother board and the like in the main machine shell 10 based on the horizontal plane; wherein, during use of the ultrasonic imaging device, the side of the ultrasonic host A facing the operator is the front, and the side facing away from the operator is the back.

[0119] In the embodiments of the utility model, the number of the ultrasonic function modules and the corresponding first chambers can be flexibly set according to actual conditions, and more or less than those shown in the foregoing embodiments and the drawings can be used. The order of arranging the ultrasonic function modules can also be flexibly set according to actual conditions, and different orders from those shown in the foregoing embodiments and the drawings can be used.

[0120] The utility model is described above with specific examples, which is only used for helping to understand the utility model and does not limit the utility model. For the skilled in the art to which the utility model belongs, according to the idea of the utility model, a number of simple deductions, deformations or substitutions can be made.
