Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, and in particular to a buckle for a wearable ultrasound probe. Background Technology

[0002] The existing wearable ultrasound probes still use traditional cable routing methods, and the main unit is relatively large, usually requiring clinicians to operate it by hand, which can easily lead to clinician fatigue after prolonged use. Similarly, although handheld ultrasound devices are smaller and lighter, clinicians still operate them by hand and have to bear the weight of the main unit, and it is not convenient to continuously fix them for monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a clip for wearable ultrasound probes.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a buckle for a wearable ultrasound probe, including a housing, a slot at the lower end of the housing, and a receiving cavity and a passage cavity at the upper end of the housing, wherein the receiving cavity and the passage cavity are connected.

[0005] Preferably, through grooves are provided on both sides and the upper surface of the cavity.

[0006] Preferably, both sides of the receiving cavity are open.

[0007] Preferably, a step is provided at the connection between the receiving cavity and the passage cavity.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the card slot has an arc-shaped groove, and the arc-shaped groove is connected to the card slot.

[0009] This invention has the following advantages: By attaching the slot to the clips on both sides of the ultrasound probe, medical staff can insert their fingers through the cavity and place them against the receiving cavity, thus wearing the ultrasound probe on their fingers. This solves the problem of inconvenient hand operation of the ultrasound probe. Since the clip is detachable, when it is necessary to fix the ultrasound probe to the surface of the human body, the medical staff can remove the clip from the slot and then fix it, so as to enable long-term continuous scanning.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0015] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0017] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. They are only used for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a buckle for a wearable ultrasound probe includes a housing 5. The lower end of the housing 5 has a slot 9, and the upper end of the housing 5 has a receiving cavity 10 and a passage cavity 11, which communicate with each other. Preferably, a step 7 is provided at the connection between the receiving cavity 10 and the passage cavity 11. By engaging the slot 9 with the locking blocks 2 on both sides of the ultrasound probe 1, medical personnel can insert their fingers through the passage cavity 11 and place them against the receiving cavity 10, thus wearing the ultrasound probe 1 on their fingers. This solves the problem of inconvenient hand operation of the ultrasound probe 1. Since the buckle is detachable, when it is necessary to fix the ultrasound probe 1 to the surface of the human body, the medical personnel can remove the locking blocks 2 from the slot 9 and then fix it, allowing for continuous scanning over a long period. In this embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, the ultrasonic probe 1 is an existing product, and no internal modifications have been made, so they will not be described in detail here. However, in order to adapt to the buckle, corresponding locking blocks 2 are set on both sides of the outer side of the ultrasonic probe 1. A protective shell 3 is installed at the tail thread of the ultrasonic probe 1. The cable 4 on the ultrasonic probe 1 passes through the protective shell 3 and is electrically connected to the external device, thereby preventing the cable 4 from falling off the rubber at the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0021] Furthermore, through grooves 6 are provided on both sides and the upper surface of the cavity 11. Even further, both sides of the receiving cavity 10 are open. Specifically, since medical personnel have fingers of varying thicknesses, through grooves 6 are provided on both sides and the upper surface of the cavity 11, allowing for flexible adjustment of the internal diameter of the cavity 11 to facilitate the passage of fingers of different thicknesses.

[0022] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped groove 8 is provided at the upper end of the slot 9, and the arc-shaped groove 8 is connected to the slot 9. Specifically, the main function of the arc-shaped groove 8 is to adapt to the upper part of the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0023] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
