Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ultrasonic coupling agent auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to an ultrasonic coupling agent application bottle. Background Technology
[0002] Coupling agents are commonly used in medical examinations, especially in ultrasound examinations. By evenly applying the coupling agent to the patient's body, it can isolate the ultrasound probe from the skin during the ultrasound examination, reduce friction, effectively transmit ultrasound waves, and improve image clarity and accuracy. Currently, in hospital ultrasound departments, the application of coupling agent is usually done by squeezing the coupling agent from a bottle onto the patient's body, and then using a scraper, cloth, or brush to spread the agent. After the examination, the application tool is wiped clean with a clean paper. This method results in uneven application of the coupling agent, affecting its effectiveness and reducing application efficiency. In the case of repeated use, inadequate cleaning can lead to cross-infection between patients. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasound coupling agent application bottle to solve the current problems in hospital ultrasound departments. The common practice is to squeeze the coupling agent onto the patient's body using a bottle, then apply it with a scraper, cloth, or brush. After the examination, the application tool is wiped clean with paper. This process results in uneven application of the coupling agent, affecting its effectiveness and reducing efficiency. Furthermore, inadequate cleaning during repeated use can lead to cross-infection between patients.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model for an ultrasonic coupling agent application bottle is as follows:
[0005] An ultrasonic coupling agent applicator bottle includes a bottle body; a cap is threadedly connected to the top of the bottle body; a strip-shaped discharge port is provided on the upper side of the cap; connecting frames are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cap; rotating shafts are arranged opposite each other at the ends of the two connecting frames away from the cap; a foam roller is rotatably arranged between the two rotating shafts; a support frame is provided extending outward from the middle of the connecting frames on both sides of the cap; the support frame and the middle position of the connecting frame are rotatably connected; a spring is provided between the end of the connecting frame away from the foam roller and the cap.
[0006] Furthermore, the discharge port is composed of multiple discharge through holes that connect to the bottle body space.
[0007] Furthermore, the outlet is positioned at an angle relative to the foam roller.
[0008] Furthermore, a release button is provided on the side of the connecting frame opposite the spring.
[0009] This invention provides an ultrasonic coupling agent application bottle with the following advantages: A foam roller is positioned between the rotating shafts of the connecting brackets on both sides of the bottle cap. The coupling agent extruded through the bottle cap's outlet can be directly squeezed onto the foam roller, which then applies the coupling agent to the patient's skin. The circular rotation of the foam roller on the rotating shaft ensures stable and even application of the coupling agent to the patient's skin. This results in uniform, quick, and convenient application, reducing the difficulty of the application process and minimizing the amount of coupling agent used, thus saving materials. After the coupling agent application for one patient is completed, pressing the release button from both sides compresses the spring, causing the two connecting brackets to... The spring end is brought inward and supported by the pivot of the support frame. The pivot ends of the two connecting frames are opened outward, allowing the pivots to disengage from the foam roller, thus completing the removal of the used foam roller from the connecting frame. Then, continue pressing the release button to keep the pivot ends of the connecting frame open, align them with the central axis of the new foam roller, and release the release button. The spring pushes the connecting frame back to its original position, causing the two pivots to close inward and clamp the new foam roller, completing the replacement of the foam roller. This replacement operation is simple and convenient, with high disassembly and replacement efficiency and high hygiene and safety. No manual contact with the foam roller surface is required, and there is no risk of viral or bacterial infection. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of an ultrasonic coupling agent application bottle.
[0016] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model discloses an ultrasonic coupling agent applicator bottle, comprising a bottle body 1; a bottle cap 2 is threadedly connected to the top of the bottle body 1; a strip-shaped discharge port 3 is provided on the upper side of the bottle cap 2; connecting frames 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottle cap 2; a rotating shaft 5 is arranged opposite to the end of the two connecting frames 4 away from the bottle cap 2; a foam roller 6 is rotatably arranged between the two rotating shafts 5; a support frame 7 is provided on both sides of the bottle cap 2 extending outward from the middle of the connecting frames 4; the support frame 7 and the middle position of the connecting frame 4 are rotatably connected; a spring 8 is provided between the end of the connecting frame 4 away from the foam roller 6 and the bottle cap 2; a release button 10 is provided on the side of the connecting frame 4 opposite to the spring 8.
[0017] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, during use, coupling agent is placed inside the bottle body 1 of this application bottle. The foam roller 6 of the bottle cap 2 is held on the skin of the person being examined. Appropriate force is applied to squeeze the bottle body 1, and the coupling agent inside the bottle body 1 is squeezed out through the strip-shaped outlet 3 of the bottle cap 2 onto the foam roller 6. The foam roller 6 is then pushed to slide on the skin of the person being examined, applying the coupling agent to the skin surface through the foam roller 6. The circumferential rotation of the foam roller 6 on the rotating shaft 5 ensures stable and even application of the coupling agent to the skin of the person being examined. The application of the coupling agent is even, quick, and convenient, reducing the difficulty of the application operation and the amount of coupling agent used, thus saving materials. After the coupling agent application for one person is completed, the release button 10 is pressed from both sides, compressing the spring. Spring 8 causes the two connecting frames 4 to close inwards at the end closest to spring 8, supported by the pivot 5 of the support frame 7. The pivot 5 of the two connecting frames 4 is set to open outwards at one end, allowing the pivot 5 to disengage from the foam roller 6, thus completing the removal of the used foam roller 6 from the connecting frame 4. Then, continue pressing the release button 10 to keep the pivot 5 of the connecting frame 4 open, align it with the central axis of the new foam roller 6, and release the release button 10. Spring 8 pushes the connecting frame 4 to reset, causing the two pivot 5 to close inwards and clamp the new foam roller 6, completing the replacement of the foam roller 6. This operation of replacing the foam roller 6 is simple and convenient, with high disassembly and replacement efficiency and high hygiene and safety. There is no need for personnel to manually touch the surface of the foam roller 6, so there is no risk of viral or bacterial infection.
[0018] The inside of the discharge port 3 is composed of multiple discharge through holes 9 that connect to the space of the bottle body 1. Compared with the strip-shaped through discharge port 3, the discharge port 3 composed of multiple discharge through holes 9 that connect to the space of the bottle body 1 can make the coupling agent more evenly distributed on the surface of the foam roller 6 during application, avoiding the uneven application phenomenon that may be caused by the strip-shaped discharge port 3.
[0019] The outlet 3 is tilted relative to the foam roller 6, which allows the coupling agent to be distributed more evenly on the surface of the foam roller 6 during extrusion, reducing the possibility of uneven thickness or missed coating during the coating process. In addition, the tilted outlet 3 ensures that the coupling agent applied to the surface of the foam roller 6 is facing one direction, which is convenient for subsequent rolling of the foam roller 6 and prevents the coupling agent from flowing in two directions on the surface of the foam roller 6, thus affecting the rolling coating work.
