[0002] Ultrasound examination, also known as ultrasound imaging, is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to generate images of internal organs and structures. It is widely used in the medical field to assess a variety of health conditions, and is particularly important for prenatal examinations of pregnant women.

[0003] Ultrasound examinations require the use of an ultrasound imaging machine, and gel is used to assist in the examination. To avoid the gel being too cold when it comes into contact with the skin during winter examinations, current technology heats the gel. However, the existing heating methods usually involve directly heating the gel bottle or a large amount of gel repeatedly for a long time, which can lead to the gel clumping and other issues, affecting the quality of the gel. Improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the top and one side of the insert are provided with openings, and a sealing cap is inserted into the top opening.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insert, and the limiting block is symmetrically distributed about the bisector of the insert, and the limiting block is supported at the bottom of the gel tube.

[0008] Preferably, a viewing window is provided on one side of the gel tube, and the viewing window corresponds to the opening position on one side of the insert tube.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the discharge nozzle is threaded with a sealing plug, and the discharge nozzle is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the sleeve has a ring-shaped structure when viewed from above, and the sleeve and the heating cylinder are slidably connected.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the insert is threaded with a connecting sleeve, and the lower end of the connecting sleeve is threaded with a connecting cylinder.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) This device performs multiple small-scale heating of the gel, which reduces gel waste while ensuring the amount used each time and avoids repeated heating of the gel.

[0014] (2) This device separates the gel tube and the heating tube, so that the gel inside the gel tube is quantitatively fed into the heating tube for heating before use, thereby reducing the waste of gel and avoiding repeated heating of gel.

[0015] (3) This device not only achieves a hidden design for the gel tube and heating tube by placing the gel tube and heating tube inside the insert tube and connecting tube respectively, but also facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the gel tube and heating tube.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic heating mechanism for gel used in ultrasound examination, including a tube 2, with a connecting tube 4 connected to the lower end of the tube 2. The tube 2 has openings on its top and one side, and a sealing cap 1 is inserted inside the top opening. This structure uses the sealing cap 1 to seal the top of the tube 2 to prevent dust and to prevent the gel tube 7 inside the tube 2 from falling out. Limiting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tube 2. The limiting blocks 14 are symmetrically distributed about the bisector of the tube 2 and are supported at the bottom of the gel tube 7. This structure uses the limiting blocks 14 to limit the position of the gel tube 7, thus ensuring the correct installation position. A viewing window is provided on one side of the gel tube 7. 13. The viewing window 13 corresponds to the opening on one side of the insert 2. This structure allows for easy observation of the remaining gel in the gel tube 7, facilitating timely replacement of the gel tube 7. A connecting sleeve 3 is threaded onto the outer wall of the insert 2, and a connecting tube 4 is threaded onto the lower end of the connecting sleeve 3. This structure facilitates the installation and disassembly of the insert 2 and the connecting tube 4 via the connecting sleeve 3, and also facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the internal parts of the connecting tube 4. The gel tube 7 is inserted inside the insert 2, and a metering pump 12 is connected to the outlet of the gel tube 7. A sleeve 8 and a discharge pump 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting tube 4. The sleeve 8 has a ring-shaped structure when viewed from above, and the sleeve 8 and the heating cylinder 10 form a sliding connection. This structure, through the sleeve 8 and heater 9, enables uniform heating of the gel inside the heating cylinder 10. The heater 9 is installed inside the sleeve 8, and the heating cylinder 10 is inserted inside the sleeve 8. The inlet of the heating cylinder 10 is connected to the outlet pump 11, and the outlet of the heating cylinder 10 is also connected to the outlet pump 11. Corrugated expansion tubes are connected to the inlet and outlet of both the outlet pump 11 and the metering pump 12. The ends of the corrugated expansion tubes at the inlet and outlet of the outlet pump 11 and the metering pump 12 are threadedly connected to the outlet nozzle 5, the heating cylinder 10, and the inlet and outlet of the gel cylinder 7, respectively. This threaded connection facilitates the removal of the gel cylinder 7 and the heating cylinder 10. The bottom of the connecting cylinder 4 is connected to the outlet nozzle 5, and the bottom of the outlet nozzle 5 is threadedly connected to... The sealing plug 6 and the discharge nozzle 5 are threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder 4. This structure reduces the amount of air entering the discharge nozzle 5 through the sealing plug 6. The discharge nozzle 5 can be rotated off for replacement to avoid clogging and unusability. The discharge nozzle 5 is connected to the discharge port of the discharge pump 11. Both the discharge pump 11 and the metering pump 12 of this device are powered by a battery (not shown in the figure). The battery can be installed in the empty space inside the insert cylinder 2 and the connecting cylinder 4. The metering pump 12 can output the gel in a quantitative manner to reduce gel waste. Most existing ultrasound examinations use 2-10 ml. The maximum capacity of the heating cylinder 10 is 13 ml, and the heating cylinder 10 has a reduced volume and occupies less space.

[0023] Working principle: When using the automatic heating mechanism for ultrasonic examination gel, first rotate the connecting cylinder 4 to separate it from the insert cylinder 2. Then, pull out the sealing cap 1 at the top of the insert cylinder 2. Next, insert the heating cylinder 10 and the gel cylinder 7 into the connecting cylinder 4 and the insert cylinder 2 respectively, so that the heating cylinder 10 is inserted into the sleeve 8. Connect the inlet and outlet of the heating cylinder 10 to the bellows of the metering pump 12 and the discharge pump 11 respectively. Then, connect the outlet of the gel cylinder 7 to the inlet bellows of the metering pump 12. Finally, thread the connecting cylinder 4 to the connecting sleeve 3. Then, insert the sealing cap 1 into the top of the insert cylinder 2. During the use of this device, start the metering pump 12 to output a quantitative amount of gel from the gel cylinder 7 into the heating cylinder 10 for heating. After heating is completed, open the sealing plug 6 and the discharge pump 11 so that the heated gel is discharged from the bottom of the discharge nozzle 5 for use.

[0024] 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.
