Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of probe technology, specifically to an ultrasonic probe with elastic buffer. Background Technology

[0002] A probe is a repackaged form of a sensor. It is a component that encapsulates the most basic unit of a sensor through reasonable electronic circuitry and external packaging structure, giving it some independent functions that we need. Like sensors, probes are usually classified into several categories based on their basic sensing functions, such as thermal probes, light probes, gas probes, force probes, magnetic probes, humidity probes, acoustic probes, radiation probes, color probes, taste probes, and video probes.

[0003] Ultrasonic probes are relatively precise devices. Falling from a height or knocking over the probe can cause severe vibrations, affecting the recognition accuracy of internal components and rendering the probe unusable. This necessitates the use of a new probe, increasing the user's costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an ultrasound probe with elastic buffer to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an ultrasonic probe with elastic buffer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: an ultrasonic probe with elastic buffer, including a probe body and an annular outer shell, wherein the outer shell is detachably connected to the probe body, and an annular groove is provided in the lower part of the outer peripheral surface of the probe body.

[0007] The outer shell gradually increases in diameter from top to bottom, and the inner wall of the outer shell is provided with a first buffer group, a second buffer group and a third buffer group that abut against the groove in a ring.

[0008] The first buffer group includes a first buffer block and two first springs. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner wall of the outer shell, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the first buffer block near the outer shell. The side of the first buffer block away from the outer shell is a first arc-shaped surface that can be embedded in the groove.

[0009] The second buffer group includes a second buffer block and two second springs. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner wall of the outer shell, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the second buffer block near the outer shell. The side of the second buffer block away from the outer shell is a second arc-shaped surface that can be embedded in the groove.

[0010] The third buffer group includes a third buffer block and two third springs. One end of the third spring is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner wall of the outer shell, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the third buffer block near the outer shell. The side of the third buffer block away from the outer shell is a third arc-shaped surface that can be embedded in the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the probe body is the sensing end and the bottom is the connecting end, and the connecting end is connected to a cable. When the first arc-shaped surface, the second arc-shaped surface and the third arc-shaped surface are all embedded in the groove, the top end of the sensing end protrudes upward from the top end of the outer shell.

[0012] Furthermore, a rubber ring that abuts against the probe body is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting groove is provided on the top of the outer casing, and a cap is threaded into the connecting groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The ultrasonic probe with elastic buffer provided by this application, by setting a shell, can release part of the impact force when the probe lands, through the first spring, the second spring and the third spring. The rubber ring increases the friction between the shell and the probe body, improving the connection stability. This solves the technical problem that when the probe falls from a height or is knocked over, the severe vibration caused by the probe will affect the recognition accuracy of the internal components, causing the probe to be unusable and requiring the replacement of a new probe, which increases the user's cost.

[0015] In addition to the purposes, features, and advantages described above, this application has other purposes, features, and advantages. A further detailed description of this application will be provided below with reference to the figures. Attached Figure Description

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] like Figure 1-8 As shown, this application provides a technical solution: an ultrasonic probe with elastic buffer, including a probe body 1 and an annular outer shell 2, the outer shell 2 being detachably connected to the probe body 1, and an annular groove 12 being provided in the lower middle part of the outer peripheral surface of the probe body 1.

[0031] The diameter of the outer shell 2 gradually increases from top to bottom. The inner wall of the outer shell 2 is provided with a first buffer group 21, a second buffer group 22 and a third buffer group 23 that abut against the groove 12.

[0032] The first buffer group 21 includes a first buffer block 211 and at least two first springs 212. One end of the first spring 212 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the first buffer block 211 near the outer shell 2. The side of the first buffer block 211 away from the outer shell 2 is a first arc-shaped surface 2111 that can be embedded in the groove 12.

[0033] The second buffer group 22 includes a second buffer block 221 and at least two second springs 222. One end of the second spring 222 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the second buffer block 221 near the outer shell 2. The side of the second buffer block 221 away from the outer shell 2 is a second arc-shaped surface 2211 that can be embedded in the groove 12.

[0034] The third buffer group 23 includes a third buffer block 231 and at least two third springs 232. One end of the third spring 232 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the third buffer block 231 near the outer shell 2. The side of the third buffer block 231 away from the outer shell 2 is a third arc-shaped surface 2311 that can be embedded in the groove 12.

[0035] The bottom of the outer shell 2 is inserted into the top of the probe body 1. The first arc surface 2111, the second arc surface 2211, and the third arc surface 2311 move downward along the outer surface of the probe body 1. When the first arc surface 2111, the second arc surface 2211, and the third arc surface 2311 reach the groove 12, the outer shell 2 will stop descending. At this time, the first buffer block 211, the second buffer block 221, and the third buffer block 231 all abut against the groove 12 through the corresponding springs. When the probe body 1 falls, the first spring 212, the second spring 222, and the third spring 232 can release part of the impact force and reduce damage to the probe.

[0036] The top end of the probe body 1 is the sensing end 13 and the bottom end is the connecting end 11. The connecting end 11 is connected to the cable 4. When the first arc surface 2111, the second arc surface 2211 and the third arc surface 2311 are all embedded in the groove 12, the top end of the sensing end 13 protrudes upward from the top end of the outer shell 2.

[0037] After the housing 2 is installed, the sensing end 13 can protrude from the top of the housing 2. In some working environments, it can be used directly with the housing 2 for detection, which increases the convenience of use.

[0038] A rubber ring 24 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the inner wall of the outer shell 2, which abuts against the probe body 1.

[0039] The rubber ring 24 abuts against the upper middle part of the probe body 1, increasing the friction between the outer shell 2 and the probe body 1, and improving the stability of the connection.

[0040] The top of the outer casing 2 is provided with a connecting groove 25, and a cap 3 is threaded into the connecting groove 25.

[0041] When the probe body 1 is not in use, the outer shell 2 is installed on the probe body 1, and the cap 3 is connected to the outer shell 2 by threads, so that the sensing end 13 is located inside the cap 3. When storing the probe, the sensing end 13 of the probe body 1 is prevented from being worn or squeezed.

[0042] In one embodiment, the probe is designed to be drop-proof.

[0043] Specifically, the bottom of the outer casing 2 is inserted from the top of the probe body 1. The first arc-shaped surface 2111, the second arc-shaped surface 2211, and the third arc-shaped surface 2311 move downwards along the outer surface of the probe body 1. When the first arc-shaped surface 2111, the second arc-shaped surface 2211, and the third arc-shaped surface 2311 reach the groove 12, the outer casing 2 will stop descending. At this time, the first buffer block 211, the second buffer block 221, and the third buffer block 231 all abut against the groove 12 through corresponding springs. When the probe body 1 falls, the first spring 212, the second spring 222, and the third spring 232 can release part of the impact force. At the same time, the rubber ring 24 abuts against the upper middle part of the probe body 1, increasing the stability of the connection between the outer casing 2 and the probe body 1 and reducing damage to the probe. After the outer casing 2 is installed, the sensing end 13 can protrude from the top of the outer casing 2. In some working environments, the outer casing 2 can be used directly for detection, increasing the convenience of use.

[0044] When the probe body 1 is not in use, the outer shell 2 is installed on the probe body 1, and the cap 3 is connected to the outer shell 2 by threads, so that the sensing end 13 is located inside the cap 3. When storing the probe, the sensing end 13 of the probe body 1 is prevented from being worn or squeezed.

[0045] In summary, this probe, by incorporating a housing, can release some of the impact force when the probe falls to the ground via a first, second, and third spring. The rubber ring increases the friction between the housing and the probe body, improving connection stability. This solves the technical problem that when the probe falls from a height or is knocked over, the severe vibration caused by the fall affects the recognition accuracy of the internal components, leading to the probe becoming unusable and requiring replacement with a new probe, thus increasing user costs.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
