[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the ultrasound fusion probe provided in this embodiment includes: an ultrasound imaging probe 100, a focused ultrasound therapy probe 200, and a rotating frame 300; the ultrasound imaging probe 100 is mounted on the rotating frame 300; the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 is detachably connected to the rotating frame 300.

[0032] The focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 and the rotating frame 300 can be detachably fixed by means of snap-fit ​​connection, locking pin connection, etc., which not only realizes the integrated assembly of ultrasound imaging probe 100 and focused ultrasound therapy probe 200, enabling the ultrasound imaging probe 100 and focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 to move synchronously, but also allows the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 to be replaced.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 has an outwardly elastic protruding latch 201 on its side, and the rotating frame 300 has a hole 301 adapted to the latch 201. The transducer base 203 is installed inside the housing of the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200, and the transducer is connected to the transducer base 203. The latch 201 protrudes outward from the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 by a spring or spring plate. When the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 is inserted into the rotating frame 300, the latch 201 springs back and engages with the hole 301, thereby locking the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 relative to the rotating frame 300. When the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 needs to be replaced, the operator can press the locking piece 201 to disengage it from the hole 301. Then the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 can be removed from the rotating frame 300, and a new focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 can be replaced. The locking piece 201 can be used to engage with the hole 301.

[0034] Furthermore, the side of the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 is provided with a guide protrusion 202, and the rotating frame 300 is provided with a limiting groove 302 that is adapted to the guide protrusion 202.

[0035] When installing the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200, the guide protrusion 202 can slide along the limiting groove 302. By having the guide protrusion 202 cooperate within the limiting groove 302, the strength of the circumferential positioning of the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 relative to the rotating frame 300 can be improved.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an elastic device is provided between the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 and the rotating frame 300. The elastic device has a tendency to drive the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 out of the rotating frame 300. When the latch 201 is pressed out of the hole 301, the elastic device drives the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 out of the rotating frame 300, which facilitates the removal and replacement of the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 with one hand.

[0037] Furthermore, the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 is connected to a circuit board 400, and the elastic device includes an elastic pin connected to the circuit board 400. The elastic pin is used to realize electrical connection on the one hand, and to help drive the focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 to detach when disassembling or replacing it, making the structure more compact.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the rotating frame 300 includes: a frame 310, a pad 320, and an impedance matching circuit board 330; an ultrasound imaging probe 100 and a focused ultrasound therapy probe 200 are respectively connected to the frame 310; the pad 320 is connected between the frame 310 and the impedance matching circuit board 330.

[0039] The frame 310 is provided with a slot adapted to the ultrasonic imaging probe 100, through which the ultrasonic imaging probe 100 can extend outward.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ultrasonic imaging probe 100 includes: a cover 110 and a probe housing 120 on which the imaging probe is mounted, the cover 110 being connected to the probe housing 120; the ultrasonic imaging probe 100 is inserted into a frame 310, the cover 110 cooperating with the frame 310 and circumferentially limiting its position. The slot in the frame 310 is configured as a rectangular structure, and the cover 110 fits into the rectangular slot, thereby achieving circumferential limiting of the cover 110 and the frame 310.

[0041] In addition, the cover 110 and the pad 320 are provided with corresponding pin holes, and the cover 110 and the pad 320 are fixed by a pin inserted radially along the rotating frame 300, thereby positioning the ultrasonic imaging probe 100 axially relative to the rotating frame 300.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] The glaucoma treatment device provided in this embodiment is equipped with the ultrasound fusion probe described in the above embodiments. The glaucoma treatment device has the beneficial effects of the ultrasound fusion probe, which will not be repeated here.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
