Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical aesthetics technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic treatment head. Background Technology

[0002] The ultrasound treatment head focuses high-frequency ultrasound waves onto the subcutaneous fascia and superficial fat layer, generating a thermal effect at the focal point. The heat causes collagen fibers in the fascia to contract, refining the skin. Simultaneously, the thermal effect stimulates the skin's self-repair mechanism, activating fibroblasts to synthesize large amounts of new collagen to replenish and replace collagen lost due to aging, restoring skin elasticity.

[0003] Currently available ultrasound treatment heads lack real-time imaging capabilities. During treatment, they typically cannot dynamically display the effects of ultrasound waves and changes in tissues in real time; imaging of the skin can only be achieved by switching ultrasound imaging heads. This makes pre-treatment diagnosis, monitoring of treatment effects, and post-treatment changes unclear and untimely. This method of constantly switching between ultrasound treatment heads and ultrasound imaging heads significantly reduces treatment efficiency, increases unnecessary waste, and raises treatment risks.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1 An ultrasonic therapy head is shown, comprising a housing 100, an acoustic membrane 200, a cover 300, an ultrasonic imaging probe 600, and an ultrasonic therapy probe 700. The housing 100 is provided with an acoustic window 01 for transmitting ultrasonic waves. The acoustic membrane 200 is connected to the housing 100 and covers the acoustic window 01. During treatment, ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic therapy probe 700 and the ultrasonic imaging probe 600 will pass through the acoustic membrane 200 to reach the skin. The cover 300 is connected to the housing 100, and a chamber 02 is formed between the cover 300 and the housing 100. The ultrasonic imaging probe 600 and the ultrasonic therapy probe 700 are connected to form a combined probe. The combined probe is connected to the cover 300 and / or the housing 100 and is disposed inside the chamber 02. The chamber 02 is used to fill with acoustic fluid, and the combined probe is immersed in the acoustic fluid. In practical applications, the ultrasound imaging probe 600 can diagnose the skin and, during and after treatment with the ultrasound therapy probe 700, can promptly observe the skin's condition without requiring probe replacement. This allows for very clear and convenient observation of changes in the skin's condition before, during, and after treatment, solving the problem that existing technologies typically cannot dynamically display the effects of ultrasound and tissue changes in real time during treatment.

[0033] The technical details of each component will be introduced below.

[0034] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the aforementioned housing 100 includes an inner shell 11 and an outer shell 12, which are nested together, i.e., the outer shell 12 is fitted over the outer side of the inner shell 11. The inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 can be connected by a detachable connection method such as screws or snap-fit ​​structures. The inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 are respectively provided with a first sound-permeable opening 111 and a second sound-permeable opening 121. The first sound-permeable opening 111 and the second sound-permeable opening 121 are two through openings aligned with each other on the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12, and the first sound-permeable opening 111 and the second sound-permeable opening 121 overlap to form the aforementioned sound-permeable window 01.

[0035] A clamping gap 03 is formed between the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 to fix the sound-permeable membrane 200. The clamping gap 03 is set close to and around the first sound-permeable opening 111 and the second sound-permeable opening 121, and the edge of the sound-permeable membrane 200 is clamped in the clamping gap 03. Specifically, during the nesting process of the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12, during the alignment of the first sound-permeable opening 111 and the second sound-permeable opening 121, the positions of the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 close to each other and form a clamping structure (i.e., the clamping gap 03). When the first sound-permeable opening 111 and the second sound-permeable opening 121 are completely aligned and overlapped, the edge of the sound-permeable membrane 200 will be clamped in the clamping gap 03, thereby making the edge of the sound-permeable membrane 200 completely clamped in the clamping gap 03. It can be understood that through the above action, the sound-permeable membrane 200 can play a sealing role for the sound-permeable window 01.

[0036] The above method can quickly fix the sound-permeable membrane 200, making it easy to replace the sound-permeable membrane 200. In the process of clamping the edge of the sound-permeable membrane 200, the relative movement of the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 can also tighten and unfold the sound-permeable membrane 200.

[0037] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the sound-permeable membrane 200 is sealed to the inner shell 11 to close the first sound-permeable opening 111. The side of the inner shell 11 away from the first sound-permeable opening 111 is sealed to the cover 300. The cover 300, the inner shell 11, and the sound-permeable membrane 200 together form a sealed chamber 02. Specifically, it can be understood that the edge of the sound-permeable membrane 200 is sandwiched between the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12. The outer shell 12 will squeeze the edge of the sound-permeable membrane 200 towards the inner shell 11, and the inner shell 11 will push the edge of the sound-permeable membrane 200 towards the outer shell 12. This causes the edge of the sound-permeable membrane 200 to press tightly against the edge of the first sound-permeable opening 111 to form a sealing structure, thereby preventing leakage of the sound-permeable fluid.

[0038] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, a sealing ring 400 is provided between the inner shell 11 and the cover 300, which can enhance the sealing between the inner shell 11 and the cover 300 and prevent the leakage of the sound-permeable liquid.

[0039] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cover 300 has an injection port 112, which communicates with the chamber 02. Sound-permeable fluid is injected into the chamber 02 through the injection port 112 until the chamber 02 is full. The cover 300 is also provided with a sealing plug 500, which is used to block the injection port 112 to prevent leakage of the sound-permeable fluid.

[0040] In some embodiments, the ultrasound imaging probe 600 and the ultrasound therapy probe 700 are connected and fixed as a single unit. This integrated structure is more stable and prevents relative movement between the two probes during use, thereby improving the stability of the simultaneous treatment and imaging observation effect.

[0041] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned ultrasonic treatment head also includes a probe bracket 800 for mounting the integrated probe. The probe bracket 800 is a pre-processed component specifically designed for mounting the integrated probe, enabling rapid installation of the integrated probe. One end of the probe bracket 800 is connected to the housing 100 or the cover 300, and the other end extends a predetermined distance toward the center of the chamber 02 to form a mounting portion. The mounting portion is equipped with a mounting structure that allows for quick connection with the integrated probe. Because the mounting bracket extends a predetermined distance toward the center of the chamber 02, the integrated probe can be positioned at the center of the chamber 02 at the mounting port, preventing it from contacting the inner wall of the chamber 02. This improves the propagation of sound waves emitted by the integrated probe in the acoustic fluid, while also preventing collisions between the probe and the inner wall of the chamber 02. This enhances the stability of the integrated probe and also protects it.

[0042] In other embodiments, the probe bracket 800 is provided with a wire-passing hole for setting wires. The wire-passing hole is not connected to the chamber 02, so that the wires of the integrated probe can pass through the chamber 02 and connect to external electronic components.

[0043] In some embodiments, one of the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 is provided with a positioning post 122, and the other of the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 is provided with a positioning hole 113, and the positioning post 122 is used to be inserted into the positioning hole 113.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, the inner shell 11 is provided with a positioning hole 113, and the outer shell 12 is provided with a positioning post 122. During the assembly process of the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12, if the relative positions of the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 are correct, the positioning post 122 will be inserted into the positioning hole 113, thereby playing a role in locking the position during the assembly process and preventing installation errors. Of course, providing a positioning hole 113 on the outer shell 12 and a positioning hole 113 at a relative position on the inner shell 11 can also achieve the above technical effect.

[0045] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, both the ultrasound imaging probe 600 and the ultrasound therapy probe 700 are equipped with an emitting surface 04 for emitting sound waves. The emitting surface 04 is positioned opposite to the acoustic window 01 to ensure that sound waves can be accurately transmitted through the acoustic window 01. The ultrasound therapy head is also equipped with a control module, which is electrically connected to the ultrasound imaging probe 600 and the ultrasound therapy probe 700. The ultrasound imaging probe 600 and the ultrasound therapy probe 700 alternately emit sound waves. Since sound waves can interfere with each other, the alternating emission of sound waves by the ultrasound therapy probe 700 and the ultrasound imaging probe 600 can avoid interference between the emitted sound waves.

[0046] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the inner shell 11 is detachably connected to the outer shell 12, and the inner shell 11 is detachably connected to the cover 300. Specifically, the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12, and the inner shell 11 and the cover 300 can be connected by screws, and the connection structure is simple and easy to process and operate.

[0047] In some other embodiments, the ultrasonic treatment head provided in this application further includes an upper cover 900 and a sliding unlocking sleeve 1000. One side of the upper cover 900 is connected to the cover body 300, and the other side is used to connect to the handle 1100. The sliding unlocking sleeve 1000 is used to be disposed between the upper cover 900 and the handle 1100. The sliding unlocking sleeve 1000 and the upper cover 900 form a sliding locking structure. The sliding locking structure includes a locked state and an unlocked state. When the sliding locking structure is in the locked state, the upper cover 900 is used to be connected and fixed to the handle 1100. When the sliding locking structure is in the unlocked state, the upper cover 900 is used to be separated from the handle 1100. The above method can make it very convenient to separate and fix the ultrasonic treatment head from the handle 1100.

[0048] 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.

[0049] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
