Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring, specifically to a multifunctional probe. Background Technology
[0002] A Doppler fetal heart rate monitor is primarily used for fetal heart rate monitoring. Most obstetrics and gynecology hospitals offer fetal heart rate monitoring services. These monitors utilize Doppler ultrasound technology, hence the name Doppler fetal heart rate monitor. Ultrasound diagnostics based on the Doppler effect are also called Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instruments (D-mode ultrasound diagnostic instruments). In clinical medical diagnostics, they are used for diagnosing heart, blood vessels, blood flow, and fetal heart rate.
[0003] During fetal heart rate monitoring, the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe and the coupling agent application device are usually separate. Doctors must first apply the coupling agent to the patient's skin before using the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe. This process requires both hands and frequent tool switching, making it cumbersome, time-consuming, and reducing the doctor's efficiency. This inefficient approach significantly impacts the progress of medical examinations, especially when dealing with a large number of patients. Therefore, to overcome these problems, this application proposes an integrated multifunctional probe designed to optimize the fetal heart rate monitoring process, improve operational convenience, stability, and overall equipment performance, thereby enhancing the efficiency and quality of medical examinations.

[0038] Example
[0039] The multifunctional probe provided in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, it includes: a Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1 and a coupling agent addition device 2 used in conjunction with the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1.
[0040] Among them, the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1 has a liquid outlet 105 that runs through its head, and the liquid outlet 105 is used as a liquid outlet channel for the coupling agent.
[0041] The coupling agent adding device 2 is used to add coupling agent during fetal heart rate monitoring. The device includes a coupling agent storage bottle 201, a cap 202, a pump 203, a fixed bend rod 207, and a hose 205. The coupling agent storage bottle 201 is cylindrical, and the cap 202 is screwed onto the bottle opening. The pump body of the pump 203 is fixedly inserted at the center of the cap 202, and a suction tube 209 is fixedly installed at the inlet of the pump 203. 9. One end away from the press pump 203 extends to the bottom of the inner bottle of the coupling agent storage bottle 201. One end of the fixing rod 207 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the coupling agent storage bottle 201, and a C-shaped elastic clip 208 is fixedly installed on the fixing rod 207 near its other end. The C-shaped elastic clip 208 is clamped on the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1. One end of the hose 205 is inserted into the outlet 204 of the press pump 203, and the other end of the hose 205 is fixed inside the outlet 105.
[0042] In use, the coupling agent storage bottle 201 serves as a handle. The cap 202 is opened beforehand, and the coupling agent is added to the inside of the storage bottle 201. Then, the cap 202 is tightened. When performing fetal heart rate monitoring on a patient, the doctor holds the storage bottle 201 and operates the pump 203. The pump 203 draws out the coupling agent from the storage bottle 201 through the suction tube 209 and discharges it through the outlet 204 of the pump 203 into the tubing 205. Finally, it is discharged through the outlet 105 at the head of the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1 and applied to the patient's skin. Fetal heart rate monitoring can then be performed. The doctor can complete the operation with one hand, making it convenient and significantly improving the doctor's work efficiency.
[0043] It is worth noting that the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1 in this embodiment is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to ensure that the C-shaped elastic clip 208 can be stably clamped onto the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1 without loosening, an annular protrusion 101 is fixedly installed on the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1. The annular protrusion 101 is matched with the C-shaped elastic clip 208, and the C-shaped elastic clip 208 is clamped onto the outer periphery of the annular protrusion 101 on the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1.
[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to further improve the firmness of the assembly between the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1 and the coupling agent addition device 2, at least two annular convex rings 101 and C-shaped elastic clips 208 are provided.
[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection between the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1 and the Doppler fetal heart monitor, a signal line 102 is fixedly installed at the tail of the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1, and a plug 104 is fixedly installed at the end of the signal line 102 away from the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to enable the signal line 102 to extend and retract flexibly, the signal line 102 is provided with a spiral segment 103.
[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to prevent the signal line 102 from breaking at the junction with the tail of the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1, a reinforcing sleeve 106 is fitted at the junction with the tail of the signal line 102 and the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1, and the reinforcing sleeve 106 is fixedly connected to the signal line 102 and the tail of the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1 respectively.
[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hose 205 is installed through the fixed bend rod 207, and the hose 205 is fixedly connected to the fixed bend rod 207, making the arrangement of the hose 205 more regular and orderly. The fixed bend rod 207 not only serves to fix the connection between the coupling agent storage bottle 201 and the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1, but also supports and positions the hose 205, preventing the hose 205 from shaking or tangling at will, and ensuring that the coupling agent can be smoothly delivered to the outlet 105 through the hose 205.
[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hose 205 has a corrugated section 206. The corrugated section 206 is located near the outlet 204 of the press pump 203. The corrugated section 206 allows the hose 205 to have better extensibility and flexibility in the part near the outlet 204 of the press pump 203, which is prone to pressure and bending. It can adapt to bending at different angles and prevent the hose 205 from being damaged due to pressure bending generated during the operation of the press pump 203. This ensures the normal operation of the coupling agent delivery pipeline.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, an annular mounting seat for mounting the pump body of the press pump 203 is integrally provided at the center of the bottle cap 202. The annular mounting seat provides a stable and accurate mounting position for the press pump 203, making the press pump 203 firmly installed and tightly connected to the bottle cap 202. This ensures the stability of the press pump 203 during the extraction and delivery of the coupling agent and avoids problems such as leakage and insufficient suction due to unstable installation.
[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the coupling agent storage bottle 201 is a transparent plastic bottle, and the outer surface of the coupling agent storage bottle 201 has a capacity scale line. The transparent plastic material makes it easy to observe the remaining amount of coupling agent inside the coupling agent storage bottle 201, while the capacity scale line allows the user to intuitively and accurately know the storage amount of coupling agent, which is convenient for timely replenishment of coupling agent, reasonable arrangement of use, and avoids the normal operation of fetal heart monitoring due to insufficient coupling agent.
[0053] In summary, the multifunctional probe provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:
[0054] 1. Improved ease of operation: By integrating the coupling agent addition device 2 with the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1, doctors can complete the coupling agent addition and fetal heart monitoring operations with one hand, improving work efficiency, reducing operational complexity and time required, and optimizing clinical workflow.

[0056] 3. Improved component durability: The spiral section 103 on the signal line 102 allows for flexible extension and contraction, reducing the risk of damage caused by external pulling; the reinforcing sleeve 106 at the junction of the signal line 102 and the tail of the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1 prevents breakage at this point; the corrugated section 206 on the flexible tube 205 enhances its durability under pressure and bending conditions. These designs extend the service life of each component, reduce equipment maintenance costs and replacement frequency, ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment, and reduce the impact of component damage on medical examinations.
[0057] 4. Optimized Coupling Agent Management: The 201 coupling agent storage bottle is made of transparent plastic and has a capacity scale, which makes it convenient for medical staff to observe the remaining amount of coupling agent at any time, replenish it in time, and arrange its use in a reasonable manner. This avoids delays in examination due to insufficient coupling agent, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of fetal heart monitoring. At the same time, the transparent bottle also makes it easy to observe the quality of the internal coupling agent, ensuring the examination results.
[0058] 5. Integration and regularity of the device: The fixed bending rod 207 not only fixes the coupling agent storage bottle 201 and the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1, but also supports and positions the hose 205 that runs through it, so that the hose 205 is arranged in a regular and orderly manner, avoiding shaking and tangling, optimizing the overall layout of the device, improving the appearance of the equipment and the convenience of operation, reducing the interference caused by messy pipelines to the operation, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of inspection.
[0059] When using:
[0060] 1. Preparation Stage: Open the cap 202 of the coupling agent storage bottle 201, add an appropriate amount of coupling agent, and then tighten the cap 202. At this time, the coupling agent in the coupling agent storage bottle 201 is located at the bottom of the bottle, one end of the straw 209 extends to the bottom of the bottle, the pump 203 is fixed to the annular mounting seat of the cap 202 through the pump body, and the inlet is connected to the straw 209. The outlet 204 is connected to the hose 205 with one end inserted thereon. The other end of the hose 205 is fixed inside the outlet 105 of the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1. The C-shaped elastic clip 208 on the fixing rod 207 is clamped to the outer circumference of the annular protrusion 101 of the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1, so that the coupling agent adding device 2 is firmly connected to the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1. Connect the signal line 102 at the tail of the Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring probe 1 to the Doppler fetal heart rate monitor 3 through the plug 104 (e.g., Figure 7 As shown), the spiral section 103 of the signal line 102 is in its natural state, the reinforcing sleeve 106 protects the connection between the signal line 102 and the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1, the corrugated section 206 of the hose 205 is close to the liquid outlet 204 of the press pump 203, and the whole device is ready.
[0061] 2. Examination stage: The doctor holds the coupling agent storage bottle 201 and operates the pump 203. The pump 203 draws out the coupling agent inside the coupling agent storage bottle 201 through the suction tube 209, discharges it through the outlet 204 into the tubing 205, and then discharges it through the outlet 105 at the head of the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1, applying it to the patient's skin. At the same time, the doctor can use the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1 to perform fetal heart monitoring. The fetal heart data monitored by the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1 is displayed on the screen of the Doppler fetal heart monitor 3 for the doctor's reference.
[0062] During operation, the fixed bending rod 207 keeps the relative position of the coupling agent adding device 2 and the Doppler fetal heart monitoring probe 1 stable. The hose 205 smoothly delivers the coupling agent under the support of the fixed bending rod 207. The corrugated section 206 adapts to the pressure and bends at the outlet 204 of the press pump 203. The signal line 102 transmits the B-ultrasound signal. The spiral section 103 flexibly extends and retracts with the movement of the probe. The reinforcing sleeve 106 protects the connection between the signal line 102 and the probe. The entire process can be operated with one hand, which is convenient and efficient until the fetal heart monitoring examination is completed.
