Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic scalpel technology, specifically to an ultrasonic scalpel transducer. Background Technology

[0002] The principle of ultrasonic scalpel is to use ultrasonic transducers to generate vibrations. The ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic transducers propagate along the longitudinal axis of the scalpel shaft, and then generate amplified vibrations along the axis on the scalpel shaft. Finally, high-speed longitudinal mechanical motion is generated at the tip of the scalpel. The mechanical vibration at the tip of the scalpel is very effective in cutting soft tissue, and the heat generated by the high-frequency ultrasonic vibration can coagulate tissue and close blood vessels.

[0003] During the assembly of an ultrasonic scalpel transducer, ceramic plates and electrode plates need to be stacked crosswise on top of the transducer core. Bolts are then passed through the back cover plate, electrode plates, and ceramic plates to connect and fix the bolts to the transducer core. In some existing ultrasonic scalpel transducers, during the tightening of the bolts, the bolts cause the back cover plate, electrode plates, and ceramic plates to rotate. However, the bolts cannot guarantee that the rotation angles of the back cover plate, electrode plates, and ceramic plates are completely consistent. The back cover plate, electrode plates, and ceramic plates will rotate relative to each other, which can scratch the surface of the ceramic plates and may even cause the ceramic plates to break. Therefore, an ultrasonic scalpel transducer is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
