AI Technical Summary
In existing ultrasonic probe disinfection boxes, the brush assembly rotates and rubs against the ultrasonic probe, relying solely on the elastic limit of the second reset spring, which makes the probe prone to displacement during cleaning.
The clamping mechanism, driven by a threaded tube, a slide groove, and a dual-axis motor, uses the rotating threaded tube to drive the slide carriage to slide. The connecting plate and the deformable rubber connecting pad are squeezed and limited, and the synchronous component and the toothed plate mesh to ensure stable cleaning of the probe.
This ensures the ultrasonic probe remains stable during the cleaning process, preventing displacement due to insufficient friction and guaranteeing cleaning effectiveness.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disinfection box technology, specifically to an ultrasonic probe disinfection box that is easy to clamp. Background Technology
[0002] An ultrasonic probe converts electrical signals into ultrasonic pulses through a transducer. These ultrasonic pulses are transmitted to the object being measured through a coupling medium. When the ultrasonic pulses encounter different media or object interfaces, reflection occurs. The reflected waves return to the probe, where they are received by the transducer and converted into electrical signals. The reflected signals received by the probe are processed by an electronic system to analyze parameters such as the time, intensity, and frequency of the signals, thereby inferring information such as the properties, thickness, density, and location of the object being measured. Ultrasonic probes can acquire internal images or perform other medical tests by emitting and receiving high-frequency sound waves. Announcement No. CN214918739U describes an ultrasonic probe disinfection box, comprising a box body, an ultrasonic probe disposed on the top of the box body, a water spraying mechanism disposed inside the box body, a brush assembly rotatably disposed inside the box body, and a drive mechanism for driving the brush assembly to rotate. In this utility model, the ultrasonic probe can be securely clamped by the clamping mechanism, and the ultrasonic probe can be sprayed with cleaning liquid over a large area by the water spraying mechanism. Then, the outer and inner walls of the ultrasonic probe can be thoroughly brushed by the cooperation of the drive mechanism and the brush assembly. Finally, the ultrasonic probe is dried by the fan, thus achieving the disinfection of the ultrasonic probe and ensuring that the ultrasonic probe is clean and safe for subsequent use. The aforementioned patent mentions that the ultrasonic probe is clamped and limited by the clamping mechanism of the ultrasonic probe disinfection box. The sliding rod in the clamping mechanism, in conjunction with the second return spring, squeezes and limits the ultrasonic probe. When the ultrasonic probe is disinfected, the brush assembly of the disinfection box cleans the ultrasonic probe by rotating and moving up and down. At this time, the brush assembly and the ultrasonic probe are squeezed together, and there is a certain friction between the brush assembly and the ultrasonic probe. The brush assembly exerts a certain pushing force on the ultrasonic probe. The ultrasonic probe is limited by the elasticity of the second return spring alone, which makes it easy for the ultrasonic probe to move a certain distance when the brush assembly cleans the ultrasonic probe. Therefore, we propose an ultrasonic probe disinfection box that is easy to clamp. Utility Model Content

[0018] Please see Figures 1-8This utility model provides a technical solution: a convenient clamping ultrasonic probe disinfection box, including a disinfection box body 1 and a liquid storage box 101. The inner side of the disinfection box body 1 is fixed to the liquid storage box 101, and the inner side of the liquid storage box 101 is connected to a waste liquid box 102. A water pump is installed inside the liquid storage box 101. A threaded tube 2 is fixed to the upper side of the disinfection box body 1, and the inner side of the threaded tube 2 is movably connected to a ring plate 2011 through a bearing. The ring plate 2011 is movably connected to a connecting plate 202 through a rotating shaft. A sliding groove 203 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 202, and the sliding groove 203 is slidably engaged with a slide frame 204. The slide frame 204 is fixed to the inner side of the threaded tube 2. The connecting plate 202 is away from the inner side of the threaded tube 2. A connecting pad 205 is bonded to one side of the chute 203. The upper side of the waste liquid box 102 is connected to the leakage plate 3. The upper side of the leakage plate 3 is fixed to the lower side of the fixing block 301. A dual-axis motor 302 is installed inside the fixing block 301. A synchronization component 303 is provided at the lower output end of the dual-axis motor 302. The synchronization component 303 includes a synchronization pulley and a synchronization belt. The output end of the dual-axis motor 302 is fixed to the synchronization pulley in the middle of the synchronization component 303. The upper output end of the dual-axis motor 302 is fixed to the soft brush 304. The synchronization pulleys at both ends of the synchronization component 303 are fixed to the screw 305 respectively. The two ends of the screw 305 are respectively connected to the disinfection box body 1 and the liquid storage box 101 through bearings. The connecting block 306 has a movable connection. One end of the screw 305 extends through the interior of the connecting block 306. One side of the connecting block 306 is fixed to the support block 307. A sliding rod 308 is slidably inserted into the interior of the support block 307. The two ends of the sliding rod 308 are fixed to the main body 1 of the disinfection box and the liquid storage box 101, respectively. The interior of the connecting block 306 is connected to the fixing pipe 309. One end of the fixing pipe 309 is connected to the hose 310. The outer side of the fixing pipe 309 is movably connected to the gear plate 311 through a bearing. One end of the hose 310 is connected to the water pump of the liquid storage box 101. The gear plate 311 is in contact with the gear plate 312. The lower end of the gear plate 312 is fixed to the liquid storage box 101. The gear plate 311 is located away from the connecting block 306. One side of 6 is fixed to the soft brush 313. The end of the fixing tube 309 near the toothed disc 311 is movably connected to the soft brush 313 via a bearing. The soft brush 313 has a through groove 314 inside, which is connected to the fixing tube 309. The threaded tube 2 is threadedly connected to the connecting tube 201. The sliding groove 203 matches the slide 204. The connecting pad 205 is made of deformable rubber. The timing wheel and timing belt of the timing component 303 are meshed. The screw 305 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 306. The inner spacing of the support block 307 matches the diameter of the slide rod 308. The toothed disc 311 is meshed with the toothed plate 312. The liquid storage box 101 is filled with disinfectant.
[0019] In specific implementation, according to Figures 1-8When this ultrasonic probe disinfection box is in operation, the end of the ultrasonic probe to be cleaned is inserted into the inner side of the connecting tube 201. The threaded tube 2 is rotated, forming a threaded connection with the connecting tube 201, allowing the connecting tube 201 to move downwards. At this time, the connecting tube 201 can drive the ring plate 2011 downwards, which in turn causes the ring plate 2011 to drive the connecting plate 202 downwards, allowing the slide 204 to slide along the slide groove 203. The matching of the slide groove 203 and the slide 204 prevents the connecting plate 202 from wobbling or shifting downwards. Furthermore, when the slide 204 slides along the slide groove 203, it can push the connecting plate 202 towards the inner side of the threaded tube 2. The connection plate 202 is pushed, causing the connecting pad 205 to press against the ultrasonic probe. The connecting pad 205, made of deformable rubber, reinforces the pressure and restraint of the ultrasonic probe by the connecting plate 202, thus stably confining the end of the ultrasonic probe to be cleaned inside the disinfection chamber body 1. At this time, the end of the ultrasonic probe to be cleaned is pressed against the soft brush 304 and the soft brush 313. The dual-axis motor 302 is then activated, causing its output to drive the soft brush 304 and the synchronous pulley in the middle of the synchronization assembly 303 to rotate. The synchronous pulley and synchronous belt of the synchronization assembly 303 mesh together, causing the dual-axis motor... 302 can drive the screw 305 to rotate via the synchronization component 303, and slide and engage with the slide rod 308 via the support block 307. The inner spacing of the support block 307 matches the diameter of the slide rod 308, so that the support block 307 can prevent the connecting block 306 from rotating with the screw 305. The screw 305 and the connecting block 306 are threadedly connected, so that the connecting block 306 can move stably along the screw 305. When the connecting block 306 moves down along the screw 305, the connecting block 306 can drive the soft brush 313 to move down via the gear disc 311. At the same time, the gear disc 311 moves along the gear plate 312, and the gear disc 311 and the gear plate 312 engage and engage, so that... The toothed disc 311 can rotate, allowing the soft brush 313 to move downwards and rotate simultaneously. Then, the water pump of the liquid storage box 101 is activated, allowing the disinfectant inside the liquid storage box 101 to be transported to the through channel 314 through the fixed pipe 309 and the hose 310. The disinfectant is then sprayed from the through channel 314 onto the ultrasonic probe. At this time, the soft brush 304 and the soft brush 313 rotate simultaneously to clean the ultrasonic probe. The threaded pipe 2 and the connecting pipe 201 are then connected by threads, driving the connecting plate 202 and the connecting pad 205 to squeeze and limit the ultrasonic probe, making it difficult for the ultrasonic probe to move during cleaning. This ensures that the ultrasonic probe disinfection box remains stable during the cleaning of the ultrasonic probe.
[0020] In summary, when this ultrasonic probe disinfection box is in operation, the end of the ultrasonic probe to be cleaned is inserted into the inner side of the connecting tube 201. By rotating the threaded tube 2, the connecting tube 201 can move downward along the threaded tube 2. At this time, the connecting tube 201 can drive the connecting plate 202 downward through the ring plate 2011, causing the slide 204 to slide along the slide groove 203. The slide 204 can push the connecting plate 202 towards the inner side of the threaded tube 2 through the slide groove 203, thereby causing the connecting plate 202 to drive the connecting pad 205 to squeeze and limit the ultrasonic probe. When the dual-axis motor 302 is started, the soft brush one 304 and the soft brush two 313 rotate simultaneously to clean the ultrasonic probe. At this time, the ultrasonic probe is not easy to move during cleaning, so that the ultrasonic probe disinfection box can always remain stable when cleaning the ultrasonic probe.

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.
