Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ultrasound examination technology, and more specifically, relates to an auxiliary support for ultrasound examination. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasound examination, as a non-invasive and radiation-free medical imaging diagnostic method, is widely used in the diagnosis and examination of various clinical diseases. Ultrasound examination equipment mainly consists of an ultrasound probe, a monitor, and a computer processing system. The ultrasound probe, as the core component, directly contacts the area being examined, generating ultrasound signals and receiving reflected waves. These reflected waves are then processed to form an image. Therefore, the stability, ease of operation, protection, and storage of the ultrasound probe are crucial.

[0003] In actual ultrasound examinations, ultrasound probes not only need to perform real-time examinations efficiently, but also require proper storage and protection after the examination. Since ultrasound probes are usually exposed to the outside and contact with the patient's skin often brings a certain risk of contamination (such as liquids, stains, etc.), how to effectively store, protect, and facilitate use is a major challenge in the design of ultrasound examination equipment.

[0004] In traditional ultrasound examination workstations or clinics, ultrasound probes are typically stored manually on a desktop or in a dedicated storage rack. A single desktop or rack often leads to cramped workspaces and reduces operator efficiency. Probes are not always securely stored and are prone to tilting or slipping, causing damage. Traditional storage methods are also ineffective in preventing dust, liquids, and other contaminants from affecting the probe surface and its sensor. Contact between the ultrasound probe and the storage environment can damage the probe or cause dirt accumulation, affecting its functionality and cleanliness. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an auxiliary support for ultrasound examination, which can solve the problems of traditional ultrasound examination workstation probes not being stored stably enough, easily tilting and slipping, and being difficult to effectively avoid the influence of dust, liquid and other contaminants on the probe surface and its sensor.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides an auxiliary support for ultrasound examination, comprising an arc-shaped platform and open support frames. The arc-shaped platform has an arc-shaped structure and is disposed on the side of an ultrasound examination moving platform, with one arc-shaped end extending out of the ultrasound examination moving platform. Multiple open support frames are provided on the side of the arc-shaped platform extending out of the ultrasound examination moving platform. The open support frames are used to fix ultrasound probes sequentially to prevent the connecting wires of multiple ultrasound probes from getting tangled. A dustproof component is provided on the top of the arc-shaped platform at the position of the open support frame to prevent dust from falling on the ultrasound probes.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the auxiliary support for ultrasound examination of this utility model can be further improved as follows:

[0009] The open support frame has a stepped cross-section along its axial direction, with the upper cross-sectional area being larger than the lower cross-sectional area.

[0010] Furthermore, the axis of the opening support frame is set at a 75° angle with the top wall of the arc-shaped platform, so as to allow the ultrasonic probe to be smoothly inserted into the opening support frame.

[0011] Furthermore, a silicone layer is provided on the inner wall of the opening support frame, the thickness of which is greater than 1 cm, for fixing the ultrasonic probe.

[0012] Furthermore, the opening angle of each of the opening support frames is set along the arcuate direction of the arcuate platform.

[0013] Furthermore, the dustproof component is a semi-arc dustproof structure, with one side fixedly connected to the arc-shaped platform and the other side extending in the corresponding direction of the open support frame.

[0014] Furthermore, compression plates are provided on both sides of the opening of the opening support frame, and compression springs are provided inside them. They are compressed by the squeezing force of the ultrasonic probe entering and exiting, which is used to further fix the ultrasonic probe.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the open support frame is round, which is used to fix the connecting wire of the ultrasonic probe.

[0016] Furthermore, the height of the top of the arc-shaped platform from the ground is less than or equal to the height of the top of the ultrasound examination mobile platform from the ground.

[0017] Furthermore, the dustproof component is made of medical-grade silicone.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the auxiliary support for ultrasound examination provided by this utility model are:

[0019] The curved stage, positioned on the side of the ultrasound examination mobile platform, features an arc-shaped design. Its curved end extends beyond one side of the ultrasound examination platform, helping to provide a more rational and stable storage space for multiple ultrasound probes. The curved stage design offers an optimized viewing angle, facilitating the operation and maintenance of the ultrasound probes by the operator, avoiding the limitations that may exist in other structures. Due to its curved structure, it can evenly distribute forces, providing greater stability and preventing instability or displacement of the support when supporting the ultrasound probes.

[0020] An open-end support frame, mounted on an arc-shaped platform, secures the ultrasound probes and prevents tangling of connecting wires between multiple probes. Its multiple supports ensure orderly and clear probe storage, facilitating quick access for users. The support frame's axial cross-section is stepped, with the upper section larger than the lower, providing better adaptability and stable placement of ultrasound probes of different sizes. The support frame's axis forms a 75° angle with the top wall of the arc-shaped platform, ensuring smooth insertion of the ultrasound probes and enhancing both probe stability and ease of use. The inner wall of the support frame is lined with a silicone layer over 1cm thick to secure the probes and prevent loosening due to external forces or vibrations. The opening angle of the support frame aligns with the arc of the platform, enhancing adaptability to probe placement at different angles and improving overall structural stability and ease of use.

[0021] The dust cover is designed to prevent dust from settling on the ultrasound probe, ensuring its cleanliness and effectiveness. It is typically located above the opening support frame and effectively prevents dust or environmental contamination. The semi-circular design of the dust cover connects to the curved platform, fixed on one side and extending towards the opening support frame on the other, forming a protective shield that effectively covers the ultrasound probe and prevents it from being exposed to dust. The dust cover is made of medical-grade silicone, which not only provides excellent dust protection but also offers flexibility and durability, preventing damage to the ultrasound probe surface. Compression plates with internal springs are located on both sides of the opening support frame. When the ultrasound probe is inserted or removed, the compression force provided by the springs helps to further secure the probe, preventing it from loosening within the support and increasing stability. The bottom of the opening support frame has a round hole for securing the ultrasound probe's connecting cable. This design effectively prevents messy connecting cables and enhances the overall neatness of the structure. The height of the curved platform is less than or equal to the height of the top of the ultrasound examination mobile platform from the ground, ensuring that the position of the support frame does not interfere with the platform's operation and making the support frame structure more ergonomic and in line with practical work needs.

[0022] This technical solution improves the stability, practicality, and convenience of the ultrasound examination auxiliary support, effectively preventing tangling of connecting wires between multiple ultrasound probes and ensuring probe safety and cleanliness. Furthermore, the application of silicone layers, compression springs, and arc-shaped designs enhances the support's protection of the ultrasound probes while reducing dust interference, thus improving equipment lifespan and maintenance efficiency.

[0029] like Figure 1-2 The image shows an embodiment of an auxiliary support for ultrasound examination provided by this utility model. In this embodiment, it includes an arc-shaped platform 10 and an open support frame 20. The arc-shaped platform 10 has an arc-shaped structure and is set on the side of the ultrasound examination moving platform, with one arc-shaped end extending out of the ultrasound examination moving platform. Multiple open support frames 20 are provided on the side of the arc-shaped platform 10 extending out of the ultrasound examination moving platform. The open support frames 20 are used to fix the ultrasound probes in sequence to prevent the connecting wires of the multiple ultrasound probes from getting tangled. A dustproof component 30 is provided on the top of the arc-shaped platform 10 at the position of the open support frame 20. The dustproof component 30 is used to prevent dust from falling on the ultrasound probes.

[0030] In the above technical solution, the cross-section of the open support frame 20 in the axial direction is a stepped structure, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the upper part is larger than that of the lower part.

[0031] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the axis of the opening support frame 20 is set at a 75° angle with the top wall of the arc-shaped platform 10, so as to allow the ultrasonic probe to be smoothly inserted into the opening support frame 20.

[0032] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a silicone layer is provided on the inner wall of the open support frame 20, and the thickness of the silicone layer is greater than 1 cm, which is used to fix the ultrasonic probe.

[0033] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the opening angle of each opening support frame 20 is set along the arc direction of the arc platform 10.

[0034] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the dustproof component 30 is a semi-arc dustproof structure, with one side fixedly connected to the arc-shaped platform 10 and the other side extending in the corresponding direction of the open support frame 20.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, compression plates are provided on both sides of the opening position of the opening support frame 20, and compression springs are provided inside them. They are compressed by the squeezing force of the ultrasonic probe entering and exiting, which is used to further fix the ultrasonic probe.

[0036] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the bottom of the open support frame 20 is round, which is used to fix the connecting wire of the ultrasonic probe.

[0037] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the height of the top of the arc-shaped stage 10 from the ground is less than or equal to the height of the top of the ultrasound examination mobile platform from the ground.

[0038] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the dustproof component 30 is made of medical-grade silicone.

[0039] Specifically, the principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, install the support of the arc-shaped stage on one side of the ultrasonic examination mobile platform. Ensure the installation position is stable, and that the arc-shaped end of the support extends beyond the platform to facilitate support of multiple ultrasonic probes. Ensure that the power supply equipment on the ultrasonic examination platform and auxiliary support is correctly connected and activated. Select the appropriate ultrasonic probe according to the type of ultrasonic examination required. Place the ultrasonic probe into the open support frame, ensuring that the probe insertion angle matches the opening angle of the support. Based on the stepped design of the support frame, securely place the probe in the appropriate support position. Because the angle of the support is consistent with the design of the arc-shaped stage, the probe can be smoothly placed in the support frame, ensuring stability and preventing slippage. Use the friction of the inner wall of the silicone layer to stabilize the probe and prevent movement or loosening during storage. If the probe feels loose when inserted, adjust the spring portion on the support frame to further secure the probe using its elasticity. The round hole design at the bottom of the open support frame is used to organize the ultrasonic probe's connecting cable. Pass the probe's connecting cable through the round hole to avoid tangling or messiness, ensuring that cable interference does not affect the accuracy and convenience of the examination during operation. After placing the ultrasonic probe, ensure the dust cover is properly installed. The dust cover should completely cover the ultrasonic probe, forming a dust shield to prevent external dust from contaminating the probe surface and ensuring its cleanliness. During use, regularly check the cleanliness of the dust cover, prevent dust accumulation, and clean it promptly. When the ultrasonic probe needs to be used, gently pull it out of the support frame. Due to the silicone layer and spring-loaded fixing function of the support frame, the probe should be able to be securely removed from the support frame without difficulty due to excessive friction. Be careful not to use excessive force when removing the probe to avoid damaging the probe surface or the support frame structure. Regularly check the integrity of the curved stage, open support frame, and dust cover to ensure there is no damage or aging. After inspection, safely place the ultrasonic probe back into the support frame and ensure stable storage. Ensure the support frame and probe are in a clean and dry environment to avoid damage or contamination from long-term storage.
