Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic probe sleeve technology, specifically a medical ultrasonic probe sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of medical technology, the emergence of high-resolution, portable ultrasound equipment and high-frequency ultrasound probes in recent years has led to the increasingly widespread application of ultrasound technology in areas such as regional nerve blocks, arteriovenous punctures, and perioperative transesophageal ultrasound (TEE) cardiac function monitoring. Due to the sterility requirements of surgical, anesthesia, and puncture sites, ultrasound probes also need to be kept sterile during use. As is well known, ultrasound probes are expensive components in ultrasound equipment. Repeated disinfection and sterilization not only increases the workload of medical staff, is time-consuming and laborious, but also easily damages the probes. At the same time, ultrasound probes are not isolated and are shared by everyone, which can easily cause skin diseases and cross-infection of diseases that may be transmitted through the skin.

[0003] Currently, medical staff use isolation sleeves to wrap the probe to protect it and prevent cross-infection. Existing disposable isolation sleeves are sterile sleeves similar to plastic sleeves, but they are not secure, are easy to fall off, and do not make proper contact with the ultrasound probe. Therefore, a medical ultrasound probe sleeve is provided. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medical ultrasound probe sleeve in order to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a medical ultrasound probe sleeve, comprising a probe sleeve body, wherein an arc-shaped fold is formed at the top edge of the probe sleeve body, a groove is formed on the upper surface of the arc-shaped fold, a connecting strip is fixed in the middle of the groove, and an arc-shaped spring piece is bonded and fixed on the upper surface of the connecting strip.

[0006] The initial state of the arc-shaped spring piece is a "C" structure with the opening facing downwards, which is used to provide support for the outward bending of the arc-shaped fold and to ensure that the arc-shaped fold does not affect the connection operation between the probe sleeve body and the ultrasonic probe.

[0007] The arc-shaped spring is bent upwards to form a "C" structure with the opening facing the inside of the probe sleeve body, which is used to provide a compressive elastic force for the deformation of the arc-shaped fold to fit the outside of the ultrasonic probe.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the probe sleeve body and the arc-shaped folded edge are formed with easy-tear lines in the middle of both sides, and the probe sleeve body and the arc-shaped folded edge are formed with tear strips through the easy-tear lines, and the top edge of the tear strips protrudes from the edge of the arc-shaped spring piece.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the long side and the wide side of the arc-shaped fold are provided with grooves, connecting strips and arc-shaped spring pieces, and multiple sets of grooves, connecting strips and arc-shaped spring pieces are evenly arranged along the long side of the arc-shaped fold.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner side of the arc-shaped spring is filled with a C-shaped plastic sheet, and the cross-section of the C-shaped plastic sheet is arc-shaped.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the probe sleeve body, arc-shaped folded edge, groove, connecting strip, arc-shaped spring piece, easy-tear line, and tear strip are integrally formed by rubber injection molding process, and the C-shaped plastic sheet is pre-placed in the injection mold.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] By incorporating an arc-shaped spring with a built-in C-shaped plastic sheet, the arc-shaped folded edge is bent outward in its normal state without affecting the installation of the probe sleeve body. When the arc-shaped folded edge deforms and fits against the outer wall of the ultrasonic probe, the C-shaped plastic sheet has an elastic force towards the ultrasonic probe, making the arc-shaped folded edge fit tightly against the outer wall of the ultrasonic probe, thus fixing the probe sleeve body. In addition, the probe sleeve body can be easily removed by forcefully tearing the strip, while preventing the probe sleeve body from being reused. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a medical ultrasound probe sleeve includes a probe sleeve body 1, an arc-shaped folded edge 2 is formed at the top edge of the probe sleeve body 1, a groove 3 is formed on the upper surface of the arc-shaped folded edge 2, a connecting strip 4 is fixed in the middle of the groove 3, and an arc-shaped spring piece 5 is glued and fixed on the upper surface of the connecting strip 4.

[0021] The initial state of the arc-shaped spring piece 5 is a "C" structure with the opening facing downwards, which is used to provide support for the outward bending of the arc-shaped fold 2, and to ensure that the arc-shaped fold 2 does not affect the connection operation between the probe sleeve body 1 and the ultrasonic probe.

[0022] The arc-shaped spring piece 5 is bent upward to the "C" structure with the opening facing the inside of the probe sleeve body 1, which is used to provide clamping elastic force for the deformation of the arc-shaped fold 2 to fit the outside of the ultrasonic probe. The inside of the arc-shaped spring piece 5 is filled with a C-shaped plastic sheet 8, and the cross-section of the C-shaped plastic sheet 8 is arc-shaped.

[0023] The probe sleeve body 1 and the arc-shaped folded edge 2 have easy-tear lines 6 formed in the middle of both sides. The probe sleeve body 1 and the arc-shaped folded edge 2 form tear strips 7 through the easy-tear lines 6. The top edge of the tear strips 7 protrudes from the edge of the arc-shaped spring piece 5.

[0024] The long and wide sides of the arc-shaped fold 2 are provided with grooves 3, connecting strips 4, and arc-shaped spring pieces 5, and multiple sets of grooves 3, connecting strips 4, and arc-shaped spring pieces 5 are evenly arranged along the long side of the arc-shaped fold 2.

[0025] In this embodiment: In its normal packaging state, the arc-shaped spring 7 of this probe is kept bent outward under the elastic force of the C plastic sheet 8 (that is, the arc-shaped spring 7 is a "C" shaped structure with the opening facing down), and the arc-shaped fold 2 is bent outward as a whole through multiple arc-shaped springs 7.

[0026] Thus, when using the probe sleeve, the arc-shaped fold 2 will not be used for the connection between the probe sleeve body 1 and the ultrasonic probe (it should be noted that the inner wall shape of the probe sleeve body 1 matches the front end shape of the ultrasonic probe).

[0027] After the probe sleeve body 1 is connected to the ultrasonic probe, manually push the arc-shaped fold 2 upward to deform it. At this time, the arc-shaped spring 7 and the C-shaped plastic sheet 8 are squeezed and bent upward as a whole. The C-shaped plastic sheet 8 deforms from the downward "C" opening to the "C" opening facing the ultrasonic probe. The arc-shaped spring 7 is driven to deform synchronously to the state where the "C" opening faces the ultrasonic probe. That is, at this time, the C-shaped plastic sheet 8 has the tendency to continue to deform and bend towards the ultrasonic probe. Thus, the C-shaped plastic sheet 8 has an elastic force towards the ultrasonic probe. This elastic force makes the arc-shaped fold 2 fit tightly against the surface of the ultrasonic probe, thereby fixing the probe sleeve body 1 to the ultrasonic probe.

[0028] If it is necessary to separate the probe sleeve body 1 from the ultrasonic probe, simply pull the tear strip 7 manually so that the tear strip 7 separates from the arc-shaped fold 2 and the probe sleeve body 1 along the easy-tear line 6. This creates a notch in the middle of the probe sleeve body 1, thereby destroying the integrity of the probe sleeve body 1. The probe sleeve body 1 can be quickly removed through this notch. At the same time, the forceful disassembly structure of the tear strip 7 can prevent the probe sleeve body 1 from being reused.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-4 The probe sleeve body 1, arc-shaped folded edge 2, groove 3, connecting strip 4, arc-shaped spring piece 5, easy-tear line 6, tear strip 7 are integrally formed by rubber injection molding process, and C-shaped plastic sheet 8 is pre-placed in the injection mold.

[0030] In this embodiment: the C-shaped plastic sheet 8 has good deformation elasticity, which can provide good support for the deformation state of the arc-shaped fold 2;

[0031] The probe sleeve is integrally molded using a glue injection molding process, which facilitates processing, molding, and promotion.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
