Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasound diagnostic equipment technology, specifically to an assistive device for ultrasound diagnostic equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Medical ultrasound instruments are medical devices developed based on the principle of ultrasound and applied in the medical and health field to diagnose and treat diseases. Ultrasound refers to sound waves with a frequency higher than 20,000 Hz that are inaudible to humans. It has the characteristics of good directionality and strong penetrating power. The ultrasound frequency used for medical diagnosis is usually 1 MHz to 5 MHz. The working principle of medical ultrasound examination is somewhat similar to that of sonar, that is, the ultrasound waves are emitted into the human body. When they encounter interfaces in the body, they will be reflected and refracted, and may be absorbed and attenuated in human tissues.
[0003] In the process of developing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: 1. Large ultrasound equipment or trolleys carrying portable ultrasound equipment often have a certain weight. Current methods mainly rely on manual pushing by staff, which requires continuous and significant effort, especially over long distances, greatly consuming their physical strength. For example, in large hospital areas, moving from one department to another requires traversing long corridors and passageways. Staff pushing the equipment manually throughout this process quickly become fatigued. When encountering slopes while pushing the ultrasound equipment, staff face even greater challenges. Slopes increase the weight of the equipment, requiring even greater pushing force to move it upwards. This is not only laborious but also poses certain safety risks. For example, if staff are pushing the equipment... 1. Insufficient force on the slope can cause the equipment to slide down, potentially injuring staff and those nearby. 2. The lack of protective panels at the front and back of the trolley makes the equipment vulnerable to bumps and knocks during movement. Hospital environments are typically complex, with frequent movement of people and equipment. Pushing the equipment can easily lead to collisions with walls, other equipment, or obstacles. For example, when turning in a narrow passageway, the equipment might accidentally hit a corner; at busy department entrances, it might be bumped by passing personnel or the trolley itself. These collisions can cause damage such as deformation of the equipment casing, cracked displays, and loosening of internal components, severely impacting its normal operation. For precision instruments like ultrasound equipment, any damage can lead to inaccurate diagnostic results or malfunction. Moreover, equipment maintenance costs are usually high, and frequent breakdowns can impose a significant financial burden on hospitals. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an assistive device for ultrasound diagnostic equipment, addressing the challenges faced by operators pushing ultrasound equipment uphill when encountering slopes, as the slope increases the weight of the equipment, requiring greater pushing force. This is not only laborious but also poses safety risks; for example, if the operator lacks sufficient force, the equipment may slide downhill. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an assistive device for ultrasound diagnostic equipment, comprising a U-shaped placement plate, a fixed housing with pulleys screwed onto the lower part of the U-shaped placement plate, a baffle plate at the front of the U-shaped placement plate, a support plate at the lower part of the U-shaped placement plate, and a cylinder synchronizer screwed onto one side of the U-shaped placement plate.
[0005] An L-shaped plate is welded to one side of the baffle, and a threaded screw is threadedly connected to the inside of the L-shaped plate. A pressure plate is rotatably connected to one side of the threaded screw.
[0006] A support frame is welded above the support plate. The output shaft of the drive cylinder is mounted on the support frame with screws. The housing of the servo motor is mounted on the front of the support plate with screws. A reducer is inserted behind the servo motor. The reducer is mounted on the housing of the mounting base with screws. A connecting rod is inserted inside the mounting base. One side of the connecting rod passes through a first gear. A second gear meshes below the first gear. An assist wheel is rotatably connected to one side of the second gear.
[0007] More preferably, the L-shaped plate has a circular groove inside, the internal thread of the circular groove is consistent with the external thread structure of the threaded rod, and the surface wall of the pressure plate is provided with square anti-slip protrusions, and the pressure plate forms a horizontal sliding structure through the threaded rod.
[0008] More preferably, the U-shaped placement plate is provided with baffles at the front and rear, and the external structural dimensions of the baffles are consistent with the internal hole and groove structure of the U-shaped placement plate.
[0009] More preferably, mounting seats are installed at both ends of the connecting rod, and a set of mounting seats and a connecting rod are respectively provided above and below the support plate.
[0010] More preferably, the connecting rod forms a rotating structure via a servo motor, the first gear forms a rotating structure via the connecting rod, and the second gear forms a rotating structure via the first gear. Furthermore, the second gear and the booster wheel are coaxial, and the booster wheel forms a rotating structure via the second gear.

[0012] More preferably, four pulleys are installed at the lower corners of the U-shaped placement plate by screws, and a booster wheel is provided in the middle of the front pulleys and a booster wheel is provided in the middle of the rear pulleys.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] In this invention, an auxiliary pushing uphill component is installed below the U-shaped placement plate. When encountering a slope, the cylinder synchronizer controls two drive cylinders to move downwards simultaneously, bringing the assist wheel and pulley to the same plane. Then, the motor controller controls the servo motor to run, driving the connecting rod, the first gear, and the second gear to rotate, ultimately driving the assist wheel to rotate and pushing the ultrasound diagnostic equipment uphill. The servo motor is connected to a reducer, which prevents the servo motor from rotating too fast during operation. This design allows the equipment to move forward at a more stable speed during the pushing process, reducing the possibility of equipment shaking and instability caused by excessive speed. For operators, operation is easier and more convenient, eliminating the need to constantly worry about the equipment going out of control.
[0015] In this invention, movable baffles are provided at the front and rear of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment. These baffles can effectively prevent the equipment from colliding with walls, other equipment, or obstacles during the movement of the equipment. Manually turning the handle on one side of the threaded screw clockwise will fix the pressure plate on the other side of the threaded screw to both sides of the U-shaped placement plate. This fixing device can effectively avoid damage caused by the shaking of the equipment during transportation. During the movement of the equipment, especially when passing through uneven ground or encountering bumps, the fixing device can ensure that the equipment always maintains a stable position.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an assist device for ultrasound diagnostic equipment, including a U-shaped placement plate 1, a fixed housing with pulleys 4 installed below the U-shaped placement plate 1 by screws, a baffle 2 provided in front of the U-shaped placement plate 1, a support plate 3 provided below the U-shaped placement plate 1, and a cylinder synchronizer 5 installed on one side of the U-shaped placement plate 1 by screws.
[0023] An L-shaped plate 201 is welded to one side of the baffle 2. A threaded screw 202 is threadedly connected inside the L-shaped plate 201. A pressure plate 203 is rotatably connected to one side of the threaded screw 202.
[0024] A support frame 302 is welded to the top of the support plate 3. The output shaft of the drive cylinder 301 is installed on the top of the support frame 302 by screws. The housing of the servo motor 305 is installed on the front of the support plate 3 by screws. A reducer 306 is inserted behind the servo motor 305. The reducer 306 is installed on the housing of the mounting base 307 by screws. A connecting rod 309 is inserted inside the mounting base 307. One side of the connecting rod 309 passes through the first gear 308. A second gear 304 meshes below the first gear 308. A booster wheel 303 is rotatably connected to one side of the second gear 304.
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the L-shaped plate 201 has a circular groove inside, and the internal thread of the circular groove is consistent with the external thread structure of the threaded rod 202. The surface of the pressure plate 203 is provided with square anti-slip protrusions, and the pressure plate 203 forms a horizontal sliding structure through the threaded rod 202. When the handle on one side of the threaded rod 202 is manually turned, the pressure plate 203 can move horizontally. The design of the square anti-slip protrusions can increase the friction when the pressure plate 203 contacts the U-shaped placement plate 1, and better fix the position of the pressure plate 203. The threaded connection method realizes precise horizontal position adjustment, which makes it easy to fix the pressure plate 203 on both sides of the U-shaped placement plate 1. The anti-slip protrusions can effectively prevent the pressure plate 203 from loosening due to vibration and other reasons during equipment transportation, enhance the stability of the fixing device, and thus better protect the ultrasound diagnostic equipment.
[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, baffles 2 are provided at the front and rear of the U-shaped placement plate 1, and the external structural dimensions of the baffles 2 are consistent with the internal slot structure of the U-shaped placement plate 1. The dimensional relationship between the baffles 2 and the U-shaped placement plate 1 allows the baffles 2 to be placed precisely in the slots at the front and rear of the U-shaped placement plate 1, thus blocking and protecting the ultrasound diagnostic equipment and preventing the equipment from being bumped in the front and rear directions during movement. The appropriate size matching ensures that the installation position of the baffles 2 is accurate and can fit tightly against the front and rear of the equipment, providing comprehensive protection. This design is simple and direct, effectively utilizing the structure of the U-shaped placement plate 1, and achieving the protective function of the equipment without adding too many complex components.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, mounting seats 307 are installed at both ends of the connecting rod 309, and a set of mounting seats 307 and connecting rod 309 are respectively provided above and below the support plate 3. The function of the mounting seats 307 is to fix the position of the connecting rod 309, so that the connecting rod 309 can be stably installed on the support plate 3, providing a stable support structure for subsequent power transmission and component rotation. The setting of the mounting seats 307 enhances the structural stability of the entire device. Through the upper and lower distributed mounting seats 307 and connecting rod 309, the force generated by the component during operation can be better distributed, so that the device can withstand greater loads when pushing the ultrasound diagnostic equipment uphill, reducing the possibility of component deformation and damage.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the connecting rod 309 forms a rotating structure via the servo motor 305, and the first gear 308 forms a rotating structure via the connecting rod 309. The second gear 304 forms a rotating structure via the first gear 308, and the second gear 304 is coaxial with the assist wheel 303, which in turn forms a rotating structure via the second gear 304. The servo motor 305 drives the connecting rod 309 to rotate, and the first gear 308 on the connecting rod 309 rotates accordingly. The first gear 308 then drives the second gear 304, which meshes with it, to rotate. Since the second gear 304 is coaxial with the assist wheel 303, the assist wheel 303 is ultimately rotated, providing power for the ultrasound diagnostic equipment to climb the hill. This multi-stage transmission method can effectively control the speed and torque of the assist wheel 303. The reducer 306 prevents the servo motor 305 from rotating too fast, enabling the assist wheel 303 to push the equipment uphill with appropriate speed and force.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the support frame 302 is vertically slidable via the drive cylinder 301. The extension and retraction of the drive cylinder 301 allows the support frame 302 to move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby controlling the relative position of the assist wheel 303 and the pulley 4, so that they can be on the same plane when needed, so as to work together to push the equipment uphill. The vertical sliding structure realizes flexible control of the height of the assist wheel 303. Through the precise control of the drive cylinder 301, the position of the assist wheel 303 can be quickly adjusted according to different ground conditions and transportation needs, ensuring the stability and maneuverability of the equipment during transportation and improving the adaptability of the entire device.
[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, four pulleys 4 are screwed onto the lower corners of the U-shaped placement plate 1. A booster wheel 303 is located in the middle of the front pulleys 4, and a booster wheel 303 is also located in the middle of the rear pulleys 4. The pulleys 4 are used for convenient movement of the equipment on flat ground, while the booster wheels 303 play a major role in propelling the equipment uphill. The front and rear booster wheels 303 work together to enable the equipment to smoothly ascend slopes. This layout rationally utilizes the functions of the pulleys 4 and the booster wheels 303. The pulleys 4 provide basic mobility, while the booster wheels 303 provide additional power support for special situations such as uphill climbs. The combination of the two can meet the transportation needs of the equipment under different terrain conditions, improving the efficiency and safety of equipment transportation.
[0031] The method of use and advantages of this utility model: The working process of this ultrasound diagnostic equipment assist device is as follows:
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment is first placed inside the U-shaped placement plate 1. The baffle 2 is moved to the front and rear of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment. During placement and movement, collisions may damage the equipment. After adjusting to a suitable position in front and behind the equipment, the handle on one side of the threaded screw 202 is manually turned clockwise to fix the pressure plate 203 on the other side of the threaded screw 202 to both sides of the U-shaped placement plate 1, protecting the equipment and effectively preventing damage caused by shaking during transportation. Two auxiliary pushing ramp components are installed below the U-shaped placement plate 1. When in use, the cylinder synchronizer 5 controls the two drives. Cylinder 301 moves downwards simultaneously, bringing the assist wheel 303 and pulley 4 to the same plane. The motor controller on one side of cylinder synchronizer 5 controls the operation of two servo motors 305. The servo motors 305 are connected to reducers 306 to prevent the servo motors 305 from rotating too fast during operation. The servo motors 305 sequentially drive the connecting rod 309 and the first gear 308 to rotate. The first gear 308 meshes with the second gear 304. Since the second gear 304 and the assist wheel 303 share the same connecting rod 309, the assist wheel 303 is driven to rotate, propelling the ultrasound diagnostic equipment uphill for convenient transportation.
[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
