Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a coupling agent heating and application device. Background Technology

[0002] A coupling agent heating device is a device used to heat and maintain the temperature of medical ultrasound coupling agent to a comfortable human body temperature. In medical procedures requiring the use of coupling agent, such as ultrasound examinations (e.g., B-mode ultrasound), fetal monitoring, fetal Doppler ultrasound, postpartum rehabilitation, low-frequency physiotherapy, and lithotripsy, using a coupling agent heating device can effectively reduce the tension and discomfort experienced by patients when applying cold coupling agent, thus improving patient comfort and acceptance.

[0003] In the existing technology, after heating the plastic bottle containing the coupling agent, the plastic bottle needs to be removed from the heating device and the coupling agent needs to be squeezed onto the ultrasonic probe by hand. In order to ensure that the temperature of the coupling agent is maintained within a suitable range, the plastic bottle needs to be put back into the heating device after use. During the inspection process, if there is not enough coupling agent on the ultrasonic probe, the plastic bottle needs to be removed to replenish the coupling agent. The whole operation is quite troublesome and will increase the operator's hand fatigue. Utility Model Content

The coupling agent placement cylinder is fixed in the shell for heating. When it is necessary to extrude the coupling agent, it is only necessary to control the gas filling device to fill a certain amount of gas into the coupling agent placement cylinder to extrude an appropriate amount of coupling agent. The operation is simple and there is no need to repeatedly remove the coupling agent placement cylinder, ensuring that the temperature is maintained within a suitable range. At the same time, it can also free the operator's hands and avoid hand fatigue.

[0025] The following is combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0026] Example

[0027] A coupling agent heating and application device includes a housing 1, in which a coupling agent placement cylinder 6 is vertically arranged. The upper end of the coupling agent placement cylinder 6 extends through the upper surface of the housing 1 and is detachably connected to a sealing cap 10. The lower end of the coupling agent placement cylinder 6 is provided with a conical discharge pipe 13 that extends through the lower surface of the housing 1. A heating device 7 for heating water in the housing 1 is provided in the housing 1. The coupling agent placement cylinder 6 is connected to an air guide pipe 3, and the air guide pipe 3 is connected to an air inflation device 5.

[0028] The conical discharge pipe 13 is sealed to the housing 1 to ensure that the water in the housing 1 does not flow out of the housing 1; the heating device 7 heats the water in the housing 1, and the heat is transferred to the coupling agent in the coupling agent placement cylinder 6; the sealing cover 10 can be threadedly sealed to the coupling agent placement cylinder 6. When the sealing cover 10 is opened, new coupling agent can be added to the coupling agent placement cylinder 6. After the sealing cover 10 closes the coupling agent placement cylinder 6, the air inflation device 5 inflates the upper end of the coupling agent placement cylinder 6. The gas compresses the coupling agent and moves it towards the outlet of the conical discharge pipe 13, thereby extruding the coupling agent.

[0029] Among them, the heating device 7 is a resistance wire heating rod; the outlet diameter of the conical discharge pipe 13 is small enough to prevent the coupling agent from automatically flowing out of the conical discharge pipe 13; the top of the shell 1 is provided with an exhaust pipe 9, which can discharge the water vapor in the shell 1 and also facilitate water replenishment; the coupling agent placement cylinder 6 can be made of metal material to increase the heat conduction effect.

[0030] The inflation device 5 includes a hollow base 505, which is connected to an air inlet pipe 503, an air outlet pipe 504, and a press airbag 502. Both the air inlet pipe 503 and the air outlet pipe 504 are equipped with one-way valves. The one-way valve in the air outlet pipe 504 only allows gas to flow from the inside of the base 505 to the outside, while the one-way valve in the air inlet pipe 503 only allows gas to flow from the outside of the base 505 to the inside. The air outlet pipe 504 is connected to a flexible hose 501 that is connected to the air guide pipe 3.

[0031] By pressing the airbag 502 with a foot pedal, external gas is drawn in through the air inlet pipe 503 and expelled through the air outlet pipe 504. The gas then passes through the hose 501 and the air guide pipe 3 into the coupling agent placement cylinder 6, thereby squeezing out the coupling agent. The airbag 502 can be an elliptical airbag or an axially telescopic airbag (similar in structure to a bellows). This application uses an axially telescopic airbag. Inflation is performed by foot pedaling, freeing the operator's hands. The hose 501 is connected to the air guide pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 504 for easy removal.

[0032] The housing 1 is provided with a fixing part 8 for placing and fixing the housing 1. The housing 1 is placed and fixed on the side of the bed by the fixing part 8, which makes it convenient for the operator to access the coupling agent. The fixing part 8 can be a hook or a suction cup, both of which are detachable connections, facilitating subsequent relocation.

[0033] A display control device 2, connected to the heating device 7, is installed on the housing 1. The display control device 2 includes a controller (a PLC controller is a prior art technology) and a touch screen, which allows control of the heating device 7's operation. Furthermore, a temperature sensor 4, connected to the display control device 2, is installed inside the housing 1. The temperature sensor 4 monitors the water temperature; when the water temperature is high, the controller stops the heating device 7; when the water temperature is low, the controller starts the heating device 7. Relevant temperature parameters can be set on the touch screen to meet different usage requirements. The display control device 2, the heating device 7, and the temperature sensor 4 are all connected to an external power supply (not shown in the figure).

[0034] The gas delivery tube 3 is located on the sealing cap 10, or it can be located on the side wall of the coupling agent placement cylinder 6. In order to allow more coupling agent to be placed in the coupling agent placement cylinder 6, the gas delivery tube 3 is located at the highest point, that is, on the sealing cap 10.

[0035] A plug 12 is provided at the lower outlet of the conical discharge pipe 13. When the coupling agent is not used, the plug 12 can block the lower outlet of the conical discharge pipe 13 to prevent the coupling agent from being contaminated, and also to prevent the coupling agent from flowing out of the coupling agent placement cylinder 6 due to external force.

[0036] The conical discharge pipe 13 is made of iron, and the plug 12 is a magnet. The magnet can quickly adhere to the outlet of the conical discharge pipe 13, making operation convenient. Furthermore, after opening the outlet of the conical discharge pipe 13, the magnet can adhere to the side wall of the conical discharge pipe 13, preventing the plug 12 from being forgotten or falling off. Additionally, the housing 1 is equipped with a connecting rope 11 that connects to the plug 12, preventing the plug 12 from being difficult to find if it falls off.

[0037] The lower end face of the conical discharge pipe 13 is provided with a placement groove 14 that is adapted to the block 12. The placement groove 14 allows the magnetic block 12 to be quickly placed into position to seal the outlet, while the connecting rope 11 can also help the block 12 to open quickly.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
