Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic transducer connection technology, and in particular to a quick-release ultrasonic transducer. Background Technology
[0002] An ultrasonic transducer is a device that converts electromagnetic energy into mechanical energy (acoustic energy). Medical ultrasonic transducers (ultrasonic probes) are a crucial component of medical ultrasound instrument systems, playing a vital role in the development of new medical instruments and medical research. In ultrasound diagnosis, ultrasound waves must first be emitted into the human body, and then the reflected echoes containing information about the body's tissue structure are received, thus performing information conversion.
[0003] Traditional ultrasonic transducers have some drawbacks. Most ultrasonic transducers in ultrasonic equipment are installed using mechanical insertion. This method makes it difficult to install the ultrasonic transducer, and the ultrasonic transducer cannot be clamped and fixed when connecting the power cord, which may cause the ultrasonic transducer to fall off and cause a safety accident. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a quick-release ultrasonic transducer that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A quick-release ultrasonic transducer includes an ultrasonic device, a connector, and an ultrasonic transducer body. The connector has a connection auxiliary mechanism at its front end. The connection auxiliary mechanism includes a connector fixedly connected to the front end of the connector. A mating ring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connector. A support ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mating ring near the front of the connector. A spring is sleeved on the outer side of the mating ring near the front of the support ring. A sliding ring is slidably connected to the outer side of the mating ring near the front of the spring. A control ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sliding ring. A mating connector is fixedly connected to the front end of the mating ring. An expansion ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mating connector. A clamping element is fixedly connected to the front end of the sliding ring.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the control ring is provided with a sliding groove, and a limiting block is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove, and the docking ring corresponds to the connector.
[0008] Preferably, the centerlines of the docking ring, support ring, sliding ring, control ring, docking joint, and expansion ring are located on the same straight line, and the inner side of the control ring is in contact with the outer side of the spring near the rear side of the sliding ring.
[0009] Preferably, the inner side of the control ring near the rear side of the spring is slidably connected to the outer side of the support ring, one end of the limiting block is fixedly connected to one end of the support ring, and the shape of the coupling is frustum-shaped.
[0010] Preferably, the clamping member is L-shaped, and there are several sets of clamping members, with the outer side of the outer expansion ring in contact with several sets of clamping members.
[0011] Preferably, the connector is installed at the front end of the ultrasonic device, the ultrasonic transducer body is inserted into the inner side of the docking ring, several sets of clamping members are in contact with the ultrasonic transducer body, the ultrasonic transducer body is connected to the connector, the lower end of the ultrasonic device is fixedly connected to a support base, the lower end of the support base is fixedly connected to a caster wheel, the upper end of the ultrasonic device is fixedly connected to a control panel, the upper end of the control panel is fixedly connected to a display, and there are multiple sets of caster wheels.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] By moving the control ring toward the ultrasonic device, the control ring pulls the sliding ring to compress the spring, and the sliding ring expands multiple sets of clamping members outward using the expansion ring. Then, the ultrasonic transducer body is inserted into the docking ring, so that the ultrasonic transducer body contacts the connector. Then, the control ring is released, and the spring pushes the sliding ring to move in the opposite direction, so that the clamping members disengage from the expansion ring. This makes it easier for multiple sets of clamping members to clamp the ultrasonic transducer body, thus making it easier to firmly confine the ultrasonic transducer body within the docking ring and to ensure that the ultrasonic transducer body is in tight contact with the connector.

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a quick-release ultrasonic transducer includes an ultrasonic device 1, a connector 2, and an ultrasonic transducer body 8. The connector 2 has a connection auxiliary mechanism 7 at its front end. The connection auxiliary mechanism 7 includes a connector seat 71 fixedly connected to the front end of the connector 2. A mating ring 72 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connector seat 71. A support ring 73 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mating ring 72 near the front side of the connector seat 71. A spring 74 is sleeved on the outer side of the mating ring 72 near the front side of the support ring 73. A sliding ring 75 is slidably connected to the outer side of the mating ring 72 near the front side of the spring 74. A control ring 76 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sliding ring 75. A mating connector 79 is fixedly connected to the front end of the mating ring 72. An expansion ring 711 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mating connector 79. A clamping member 710 is fixedly connected to the front end of the sliding ring 75.
[0021] In this embodiment, a sliding groove 77 is provided at one end of the control ring 76, and a limiting block 78 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 77. The docking ring 72 corresponds to the connector 2. The center lines of the docking ring 72, support ring 73, sliding ring 75, control ring 76, connector 79, and expansion ring 711 are located on the same straight line. The inner side of the control ring 76 is in contact with the outer side of the spring 74 near the rear side of the sliding ring 75. The inner side of the control ring 76 is slidably connected to the outer side of the support ring 73 near the rear side of the spring 74. One end of the limiting block 78 is fixedly connected to one end of the support ring 73. The connector 79 is shaped like a frustum. The clamping member 710 is shaped like an L. There are several sets of clamping members 710. The outer side of the expansion ring 711 is in contact with several sets of clamping members 710.
[0022] Specifically, the control ring 76 is pushed, causing it to move along the limiting block 78 via the sliding groove 77 towards the ultrasonic device 1. This causes the control ring 76 to drive the sliding ring 75 to slide along the docking ring 72, compressing the spring 74. The sliding ring 75 then causes the clamping member 710 to contact the expanding ring 711, which in turn expands the clamping member 710 outwards. The ultrasonic transducer body 8 is then inserted into the docking ring 72, contacting the connector 2. The control ring 76 is then released, causing the spring 74 to push the sliding ring 75 in the opposite direction due to its elasticity. This causes the sliding ring 75 to move the clamping member 710 in the opposite direction, preventing it from contacting the expanding ring 711. This causes the multiple sets of clamping members 710 to retract towards the axis of the docking joint 79, thus causing the multiple sets of clamping members 710 to... Clamping the ultrasonic transducer body 8 confines it within the docking ring 72, ensuring it is firmly in contact with the connector 2. Moving the control ring 76 toward the ultrasonic device 1 pulls the sliding ring 75 to compress the spring 74, and causes the sliding ring 75 to expand the multiple clamping members 710 outward using the expansion ring 711. The ultrasonic transducer body 8 is then inserted into the docking ring 72, bringing it into contact with the connector 2. Releasing the control ring 76 causes the spring 74 to push the sliding ring 75 in the opposite direction, disengaging the clamping members 710 from the expansion ring 711. This facilitates clamping the ultrasonic transducer body 8 with the multiple clamping members 710, ensuring it is firmly confined within the docking ring 72 and that it is firmly in contact with the connector 2.
[0023] In this embodiment, the connector 2 is installed at the front end of the ultrasonic device 1, the ultrasonic transducer body 8 is inserted into the inner side of the docking ring 72, several sets of clamping parts 710 are in contact with the ultrasonic transducer body 8, the ultrasonic transducer body 8 is connected to the connector 2, the lower end of the ultrasonic device 1 is fixedly connected to the support base 3, the lower end of the support base 3 is fixedly connected to the universal wheel 4, the upper end of the ultrasonic device 1 is fixedly connected to the control panel 5, the upper end of the control panel 5 is fixedly connected to the display 6, and there are multiple sets of universal wheels 4.
[0024] Specifically, first, push the ultrasonic device 1 to make the caster wheel 4 roll on the ground and move the ultrasonic device 1 to the designated position. Then, start the ultrasonic device 1 so that it is connected to the ultrasonic transducer body 8 through the connector 2, and the ultrasonic transducer body 8 generates ultrasonic waves.
[0025] Working principle:
[0026] In use, first push the ultrasonic device 1 to make the caster 4 roll on the ground and move the ultrasonic device 1 to the designated position. Then push the control ring 76 to move it along the limiting block 78 through the sliding groove 77 towards the ultrasonic device 1. This causes the control ring 76 to drive the sliding ring 75 to slide along the docking ring 72, compressing the spring 74 and causing the sliding ring 75 to drive the clamping member 710 to contact the outer expansion ring 711, thus causing the outer expansion ring 711 to clamp the device. The component 710 expands outward, and then the ultrasonic transducer body 8 is inserted into the docking ring 72, bringing the ultrasonic transducer body 8 into contact with the connector 2. Then, the control ring 76 is released, causing the spring 74 to push the sliding ring 75 in the opposite direction due to its elasticity. This causes the sliding ring 75 to move the clamping component 710 in the opposite direction, preventing the clamping component 710 from contacting the outward expansion ring 711. Consequently, the multiple sets of clamping components 710 retract towards the axis of the docking joint 79, thus clamping the ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonic transducer body 8 is then confined within the docking ring 72, ensuring that the ultrasonic transducer body 8 is in tight contact with the connector 2. The ultrasonic device 1 is then activated, connecting to the ultrasonic transducer body 8 via the connector 2, causing the ultrasonic transducer body 8 to generate ultrasonic waves. By moving the control ring 76 toward the ultrasonic device 1, the control ring 76 pulls the sliding ring 75 to compress the spring 74, and the sliding ring 75 expands the multiple clamping members 710 outward using the expansion ring 711. The ultrasonic transducer body 8 is then inserted into the docking ring 72, ensuring that the ultrasonic transducer body 8 contacts the connector 2. The control ring 76 is then released, causing the spring 74 to push the sliding ring 75 in the opposite direction, thus disengaging the clamping members 710 from the expansion ring 711. This facilitates the clamping of the ultrasonic transducer body 8 by the multiple clamping members 710, ensuring that the ultrasonic transducer body 8 is firmly confined within the docking ring 72 and in tight contact with the connector 2.
