Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to an ultrasound probe and a medical ultrasound device having the same. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasound probe is a type of ultrasound probe that can acquire three-dimensional volume data. It usually has a built-in motor and transmission device, which drives the transducer to move. During the movement, the transducer emits and receives ultrasound waves, and transmits the acquired two-dimensional image data of different planes to the ultrasound host for calculation and processing, and finally obtains the three-dimensional structure, so as to accurately measure local tissues and organs.

[0003] In related technologies, the transducer is fixed on a transducer bracket, and the two ends of the transducer bracket are respectively assembled with bearings. The two ends reciprocate around the axis of a bearing. Due to the limitation of structural space, the rotation radius of the transducer is small, which makes the field of view in front of the probe relatively narrow. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, the axis of rotation of the transducer is located at the center of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, the ultrasonic probe also includes a connecting shaft, which passes through the base into the receiving space and is connected to the transducer. The driving component is driven by the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft can drive the transducer to rotate when it rotates. The axis of the connecting shaft is collinear or parallel to the axis of rotation of the transducer.

[0008] Furthermore, the ultrasonic probe also includes a transmission assembly, which is disposed between the drive component and the connecting shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a first gear and a second gear, the first gear being connected to the driving member and the second gear being connected to the connecting shaft, with the first gear and the second gear meshing together; or the transmission assembly includes a transmission belt, which is connected between the connecting shaft and the motor shaft of the driving member.

[0010] Furthermore, the ultrasonic probe also includes a mounting bracket, which is installed on the side of the base away from the acoustic window. The drive unit is mounted on the mounting bracket, and the transmission assembly is located between the mounting bracket and the base.

[0011] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a first gear and a second gear. The first gear is connected to the driving component, and the second gear is connected to the connecting shaft. An adjustment part is provided on the mounting bracket, which can adjust the relative position of the mounting bracket and the base to adjust the distance between the axis of the first gear and the axis of the second gear.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment section includes a strip-shaped hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the ultrasonic probe also includes a connecting frame, which is disposed within the receiving space, and the transducer is disposed on the connecting frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the ultrasound probe also includes a connecting shaft, which passes through the base into the receiving space and is connected to the transducer. An anti-rotation structure is provided between the connecting frame and the connecting shaft.

The ultrasonic probe also includes a connecting shaft, a driving component, a first gear, a second gear, and a mounting bracket. The connecting shaft passes through the base into the receiving space and is connected to the transducer. The driving component engages with the connecting shaft.

The mounting bracket is mounted on the side of the base away from the acoustic window. The driving component is mounted on the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is provided with an adjustment part, which can adjust the relative position of the mounting bracket and the base to adjust the distance between the axes of the first and second gears.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, an ultrasonic probe is provided, comprising: a base; an acoustic window disposed on the base, wherein an accommodating space is provided between the acoustic window and the base;

[0017] The transducer is rotatably mounted within the receiving space; wherein the axis of rotation of the transducer is parallel to or coincides with the center line of the acoustic window.

It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe includes: a base 10, an acoustic window 20, a transducer 40, a drive member 60, and an oil supply structure. The acoustic window 20 is disposed on the base 10, and a receiving space 30 is provided between the acoustic window 20 and the base 10. The transducer 40 is rotatably disposed within the receiving space 30, wherein the axis of the base 10 intersects the surface of the acoustic window 20 away from the base 10 at a preset point, the preset surface is perpendicular to the axis of the base 10, and the preset point is located within the preset surface; the rotation axis of the transducer 40 is inclined or perpendicular to the preset surface. The drive member 60 is driven to engage with the transducer 40. The oil supply structure communicates with the receiving space 30.

[0032] In this embodiment, the acoustic window 20 is disposed on the base 10, and a receiving space 30 is provided between the acoustic window 20 and the base 10. The transducer 40 is rotatably disposed within the receiving space 30. The axis of the base 10 intersects the surface of the acoustic window 20 away from the base 10 at a preset point. The preset surface is perpendicular to the axis of the base 10, and the preset point is located within the preset surface. The rotation axis of the transducer 40 is inclined or perpendicular to the preset surface, and the driving member 60 can drive the transducer to rotate. Through the above arrangement, the transducer 40 is rotatably disposed within the receiving space 30, thus enabling ultrasonic detection. Furthermore, since the rotation axis of the transducer 40 is inclined or perpendicular to the preset surface, the area covered by the transducer 40 during rotation is larger, thereby enabling the ultrasonic probe to have a larger field of view. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of the relatively narrow field of view of ultrasonic probes in related technologies.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotation axis of the transducer 40 is located at the center of the base 10. Placing the rotation axis at the center of the base 10 helps to balance the weight distribution of the transducer 40, reduce vibration during rotation, and improve the stability and service life of the ultrasonic probe. Furthermore, the design of the rotation axis at the center simplifies the transmission structure, making the rotation of the transducer 40 smoother and reducing costs and failure rates caused by structural complexity.

[0034] It should be noted that the rotation axis located at the center of the base 10 makes the dynamic response of the transducer 40 more sensitive during rotation, reduces noise, and improves the quality of ultrasound images.

[0035] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe further includes a connecting shaft 50. The connecting shaft 50 passes through the base 10 into the receiving space 30 and is connected to the transducer 40. The driving member 60 is driven by the connecting shaft 50. When the connecting shaft 50 rotates, it can drive the transducer 40 to rotate. The axis of the connecting shaft 50 is collinear with or parallel to the rotation axis of the transducer 40. The introduction of the connecting shaft 50 provides a power transmission path for the rotation of the transducer 40, ensuring the smoothness and consistency of the rotation. Through the fixed connection between the connecting shaft 50 and the transducer 40, precise rotation control under motor drive is achieved.

[0036] Specifically, the driving component 60 is a drive motor. The drive motor provides a stable power source to the connecting shaft 50, ensuring the continuous rotation of the transducer 40. The drive motor achieves efficient energy conversion and transfer through direct or indirect connection of its output shaft to the connecting shaft 50.

[0037] In embodiments not shown in the figure, the drive element 60 may also be a lead screw and nut structure or other structures capable of performing drive functions.

[0038] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe further includes a transmission assembly 70, which is disposed between the drive member 60 and the connecting shaft 50. The transmission assembly 70 optimizes the power transmission path, improving transmission efficiency and reliability. Specifically, the rotational motion of the motor is converted into the rotational motion of the connecting shaft 50 via gears, synchronous belts, or other transmission mechanisms, ensuring precise control of the transducer 40. Furthermore, the use of the transmission assembly 70 reduces direct friction between the motor and the transducer, extending the service life of the equipment, while also reducing noise and improving the overall performance of the ultrasonic probe.

[0039] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 70 includes a first gear 71 and a second gear 72. The first gear 71 is connected to the drive member 60, and the second gear 72 is connected to the connecting shaft 50. The first gear 71 and the second gear 72 are meshed together; the gear transmission has good structural stability.

[0040] Specifically, the number of teeth on the first gear 71 is less than the number of teeth on the second gear 72. This prevents the transducer 40 from rotating too fast; that is, the number of teeth on the first gear 71 is less than the number of teeth on the second gear 72, which enables deceleration and thus ensures the stability of the overall structure.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment, the transmission assembly 70 includes a transmission belt 73 connected between the connecting shaft 50 and the motor shaft of the drive member 60. The transmission belt can drive the motor shaft and the connecting shaft 50 together, thereby achieving transmission engagement.

[0042] It should be noted that gear drive and belt drive provide two reliable methods for transmitting rotational power to the connecting shaft 50, ensuring the stable rotation of the transducer 40. Gear drive transmits torque through the meshing of teeth, while belt drive transmits power through the friction between the belt and the pulley; both can achieve high-precision rotational control. In other words, the choice between gear drive and belt drive allows the ultrasonic probe to maintain good performance under different load conditions, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0043] In embodiments not shown in the figure, the transmission structure can also be a gear and rack structure, etc. That is, the gear on the motor shaft can drive the rack to move, and when the rack moves, it can drive the gear on the connecting shaft to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the transducer.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe further includes a mounting bracket 81, which is mounted on the side of the base 10 away from the acoustic window 20. A drive unit 60 is mounted on the mounting bracket 81, and a transmission assembly 70 is located between the mounting bracket 81 and the base 10. The mounting bracket 81 provides a stable mounting position for the drive unit 60 and also provides reasonable layout space for the transmission assembly 70. Furthermore, the design of the mounting bracket 81 takes into account the weight and vibration of the motor, ensuring the normal operation of the motor and transmission assembly through appropriate support and fixation.

[0045] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 70 includes a first gear 71 and a second gear 72. The first gear 71 is connected to the drive member 60, and the second gear 72 is connected to the connecting shaft 50. An adjustment part 811 is provided on the mounting bracket 81, which can adjust the relative position of the mounting bracket 81 and the base 10 to adjust the distance between the axes of the first gear 71 and the second gear 72. The introduction of the adjustment part 811 provides the ability to fine-tune the gear spacing in the transmission assembly 70, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the gear transmission. In principle, through the structural design of the adjustment part 811, the center distance between the gears can be adjusted manually or automatically, thereby eliminating gear backlash and improving transmission efficiency. This significantly reduces vibration and noise during gear operation, improves the user experience of the ultrasonic probe, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0046] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the adjustment part 811 includes a slotted hole. The design of the slotted hole provides freedom of movement between the mounting bracket 81 and the base 10, making the operation of the adjustment part 811 simpler and more flexible. Specifically, the slotted hole, as part of the adjustment part 811, is connected to the base by a screw passing through the slotted hole, enabling fine-tuning of the position of the mounting bracket 81.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasound probe further includes a connecting frame 82, which is disposed within the receiving space 30, and the transducer 40 is disposed on the connecting frame 82. The connecting frame 82 provides stable support for the transducer 40, ensuring its positioning and stability during rotation. Furthermore, the use of the connecting frame 82 improves the rotational accuracy of the transducer 40 and reduces signal interference and image quality degradation caused by structural instability.

[0048] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe further includes a connecting shaft 50, which passes through the base 10 into the receiving space 30 and is connected to the transducer 40. An anti-rotation structure 83 is provided between the connecting frame 82 and the connecting shaft 50. The anti-rotation structure 83 prevents the connecting frame 82 from shaking when it rotates under the drive of the connecting shaft 50, thus improving the stability and reliability of the transmission. That is, the anti-rotation structure 83 ensures the precise rotation of the transducer 40 by restricting the degree of freedom of the connecting frame 82 in a certain direction.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 10 includes a bottom wall and an annular side wall. An acoustic window 20 is disposed on the annular side wall. The ultrasonic probe also includes a connecting shaft 50, a driving member 60, a first gear 71, a second gear 72, and a mounting bracket 81. The connecting shaft 50 passes through the base 10 into the receiving space 30 and is connected to the transducer 40. The driving member 60 drives the connecting shaft 50. The first gear 71 is connected to the driving member 60, and the second gear 72 is connected to the connecting shaft 50. The first gear 71 and the second gear 72 are meshed. The mounting bracket 81 is mounted on the side of the base 10 away from the acoustic window 20. The driving member 60 is mounted on the mounting bracket 81. The mounting bracket 81 is provided with an adjustment part 811, which can adjust the relative position of the mounting bracket 81 and the base 10 to adjust the distance between the axes of the first gear 71 and the second gear 72. The receiving space 30 is formed between the bottom wall, the annular side wall, and the acoustic window 20, and can accommodate the transducer 40. Furthermore, the transmission assembly 70 enables power transmission, allowing the drive component 60 to drive the connecting shaft 50 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 50, in turn, causes the mounting bracket 81 to rotate, which in turn drives the transducer 40 to rotate, thus enabling ultrasonic detection. Simultaneously, the adjustment unit 811 allows for adjustment of the distance between the first gear 71 and the second gear 72, preventing either excessively large or excessively small distances.

[0050] According to another aspect of this application, an ultrasonic probe is provided, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe includes a base 10, an acoustic window 20, and a transducer 40. The acoustic window 20 is disposed on the base 10, and a receiving space 30 is provided between the acoustic window 20 and the base 10. The transducer 40 is rotatably disposed within the receiving space 30. The rotation axis of the transducer 40 is parallel to or coincides with the center line of the acoustic window 20. In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the transducer is parallel to or coincides with the center line of the acoustic window 20, which ensures that the transducer covers a larger area of ​​the acoustic window, thereby expanding the field of view of the ultrasonic probe and improving detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0051] It should be noted that the center line of the aforementioned sound window 20 refers to a straight line passing through the center point of the sound window and parallel to the axis of the base 10.

[0052] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotation axis of the transducer 40 is located at the center of the base 10. Placing the rotation axis at the center of the base 10 helps to balance the weight distribution of the transducer 40, reduce vibration during rotation, and improve the stability and service life of the ultrasonic probe. Furthermore, the design of the rotation axis at the center simplifies the transmission structure, making the rotation of the transducer 40 smoother and reducing costs and failure rates caused by structural complexity.

[0053] It should be noted that the rotation axis located at the center of the base 10 makes the dynamic response of the transducer 40 more sensitive during rotation, reduces noise, and improves the quality of ultrasound images.

[0054] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe further includes a connecting shaft 50. The connecting shaft 50 passes through the base 10 into the receiving space 30 and is connected to the transducer 40. When the connecting shaft 50 rotates, it can drive the transducer 40 to rotate. The axis of the connecting shaft 50 is collinear with or parallel to the rotation axis of the transducer 40. The introduction of the connecting shaft 50 provides a power transmission path for the rotation of the transducer 40, ensuring the smoothness and consistency of the rotation. Through the fixed connection between the connecting shaft 50 and the transducer 40, precise rotation control under motor drive is achieved. The ultrasonic probe also includes a drive component 60, which drives the connecting shaft 50. The configuration of the drive component 60 provides a stable power source for the connecting shaft 50, ensuring the continuous rotation of the transducer 40. The drive component 60 achieves efficient energy conversion and transfer through its output shaft directly or indirectly connected to the connecting shaft 50.

[0055] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe further includes a transmission assembly 70, which is disposed between the drive member 60 and the connecting shaft 50. The transmission assembly 70 optimizes the power transmission path, improving transmission efficiency and reliability.

[0056] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 70 includes a first gear 71 and a second gear 72. The first gear 71 is connected to the drive member 60, and the second gear 72 is connected to the connecting shaft 50. The first gear 71 and the second gear 72 are meshed together; the gear transmission has good structural stability.

[0057] Specifically, the number of teeth on the first gear 71 is less than the number of teeth on the second gear 72. This prevents the transducer 40 from rotating too fast; that is, the number of teeth on the first gear 71 is less than the number of teeth on the second gear 72, which enables deceleration and thus ensures the stability of the overall structure.

[0058] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe further includes a mounting bracket 81, which is mounted on the side of the base 10 away from the acoustic window 20.
