Abstract
Description

[0002] An ultrasonic transducer is a device that converts electromagnetic energy into mechanical and acoustic energy. It is usually made of piezoelectric ceramics or other magnetostrictive materials. Common applications of ultrasonic transducers include ultrasonic cleaners, ultrasonic atomizers, and B-mode ultrasound probes.
[0003] Existing technologies, such as those with patent number CN218743018U, utilize a damping spring shock absorber to drive the sliding plate within the groove, compressing and fixing the lower shell. This improves the stability of the ultrasonic transducer within the shell, and the damping spring shock absorber absorbs the impact force generated by the ultrasonic transducer's shaking within the shell, protecting the transducer's safety within the housing and thus extending its service life.
[0004] However, it needs to be removed before use. Because it loses the protection of the outer shell, it cannot be opened to expose the part that needs to be used. Therefore, it may be damaged accidentally when fully exposed during use.

[0034] Buffer and protection components
[0035] Soft cushioning material 4: Filled inside the main shell 1, outer shell 3, and fixed shell 2. The material may be silicone or EVA foam. Its function is to absorb vibration, buffer external force, and prevent the ultrasonic transducer from being damaged by impact.
[0036] Waterproof and dustproof coating: Covers the outer surface of the main shell 1, outer shell 3, and fixed shell 2. It may be a nano-coating to prevent moisture and dust from entering the interior and protect the ultrasonic transducer 5.
[0037] Grooves 6 and cover plates 9: Grooves 6 are provided on the inner bottom of both outer shells 3 and the main shell 1. Cover plates 9 are provided inside the grooves 6. The cover plates 9 are made of iron. Fixing grooves 7 are provided on the inner bottom of the main shell 1 and the outer shell 3 inside the grooves 6. Magnets 8 are provided in the fixing grooves 7. The cover plates 9 are fixed by the attraction of the magnets 8 to the iron cover plates 9.
[0038] Limiting structure: Installed on both sides of the top of the outer casing 3, specifically including:
[0039] Hollow fixing rod 12: fixed to the top of the outer shell 3, hollow inside, the length of the hollow fixing rod 12 is the same as the length of the connecting hole 13.
[0040] Connecting rod 14: Located inside the hollow fixed rod 12, it can move up and down.

[0042] Card plate 16: Connected to the top of connecting rod 14, located at the top of fixed shell 2, with the same shape as connecting hole 13, used to hold fixed shell 2, thereby fixing outer shell 3 to fixed shell 2.
[0043] Auxiliary components

[0045] Placement slot 11: It is opened inside the main shell 1, outer shell 3, and fixed shell 2 to store the ultrasonic transducer 5 and provide installation and positioning space.
[0046] Overall Fixing and Protection Principle
[0047] The main shell 1, outer shell 3, and fixed shell 2 are tightly bound together by elastic straps 10 to form a closed protective cavity. The ultrasonic transducer 5 is placed in the placement slot 11 and wrapped with soft cushioning material 4 to provide shock absorption.
[0048] The waterproof and dustproof coating on the outer surface prevents external moisture and dust from entering, protecting the internal components.
[0049] Bottom opening usage scenarios
[0050] When the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 5 needs to be used, push the cover plate 9 outward. When the pushing force is greater than the magnetic attraction force of the magnet 8 on the cover plate 9, the cover plate 9 will separate from the magnet 8, be removed from the groove 6, and the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 5 will be exposed for operation.
[0051] After use, place the cover plate 9 back into the groove 6, and the magnet 8 will automatically attract and fix the cover plate 9, restoring the protected state.
[0052] When the ultrasonic transducer needs to be used below or above the side of side 5, the operation limiting structure is as follows:
[0053] Rotate the card plate 16 ninety degrees to align it with the position of the connecting hole 13.
[0054] When the locking plate 16 is released, the spring 15 deforms elastically, pushing the connecting rod 14 inward, causing the locking plate 16 to retract into the connecting hole 13, and the fixed shell 2 and the outer shell 3 are separated and fixed.
[0055] Remove the outer casing 3 or the fixed casing 2 to expose the ultrasonic transducer 5 in the corresponding position for use.
[0056] After use, reset the outer shell 3 or the fixed shell 2, pull the locking plate 16 upwards and rotate it 90 degrees. The locking plate 16 will lock the fixed shell 2, and the spring 15 will return to its original position, thus achieving fixation.
[0057] When the transducer is in the side-opening mode, flip the ultrasonic transducer 5 to expose the opposite side that needs to be used. This allows for operation without completely removing the transducer, avoiding the risk of damage from complete exposure.
[0058] Magnet 8 and cover plate 9: The magnetic attraction is used to quickly fix and open the cover plate 9, which is convenient to operate and at the same time ensures the sealing of the bottom opening.
[0059] Limiting structure: The outer shell 3 and the fixed shell 2 are detachably connected by the cooperation of spring 15, connecting rod 14 and clamping plate 16. The connection state is controlled by rotating clamping plate 16. The structure is simple and reliable.
[0060] Elastic strap 10: Provides overall restraint, ensuring that the housings are tightly connected when not opened, forming a robust protective structure.
[0061] Soft cushioning material 4: A cushioning layer is formed inside the shell to absorb external vibrations and impacts, reducing damage to the ultrasonic transducer 5.
[0062] Waterproof and dustproof coating: Prevents external environmental factors from affecting the transducer and extends its service life.
[0063] The working principle of the ultrasonic transducer protection structure provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0064] The main shell 1, outer shell 3, and fixed shell 2 are bound together by elastic straps 10, and the ultrasonic transducer 5 is stored in the placement slot 11. When the ultrasonic transducer 5 needs to be used and its bottom is used, the cover plate 9 can be pushed outward. When the force on the cover plate 9 is greater than the magnetic attraction force of the magnet 8 on the cover plate 9, the cover plate 9 and the magnet 8 are disengaged. Then the cover plate 9 can be removed from the groove 6, and the bottom is opened, exposing the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 5 for use.
[0065] When the ultrasonic transducer 5 needs to be used at its lower or upper side position, the clamping plate 16 can be rotated. By rotating the clamping plate 16 90 degrees, the position of the clamping plate 16 and the connecting hole 13 can be aligned. Then, the clamping plate 16 can be released, and the connecting rod 14 can be pushed inward by the elastic deformation of the spring 15. This causes the connecting rod 14 to retract into the hollow fixing rod 12, and at the same time, the clamping plate 16 is moved and retracted into the connecting hole 13. Therefore, the fixing shell 2 and the outer shell 3 are no longer fixed to each other. Then, the outer shell 3 or the fixing shell 2 can be removed to use the ultrasonic transducer 5. When using the opposite side of the ultrasonic transducer 5 in this state, the ultrasonic transducer 5 can be flipped to expose the corresponding position.
[0066] Compared with related technologies, the ultrasonic transducer protection structure provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0067] The main shell 1, outer shell 3, fixed shell 2, and the mutual cooperation between the limiting structure, groove 6, and cover plate 9 can be opened according to actual usage needs. Therefore, there will be no complete exposure during use, which can reduce the risk of damage in case of accidents during use.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
