Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sound-transmitting membrane pinhole detection technology, specifically a device for detecting pinholes in an isolation sound-transmitting membrane used in transesophageal echocardiography. Background Technology
[0002] Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) isolation acoustic membrane is a disposable, sterile, and highly transparent medical protective shield. It acts like a disposable "raincoat" for the expensive TEE probe, ensuring clear ultrasound penetration and perfect imaging while completely eliminating the risk of cross-infection between patients. It is an indispensable safety guardian in modern medicine. Therefore, the TEE isolation acoustic membrane undergoes pinhole testing after production.
[0003] In existing technologies, pinhole detection of transesophageal cardiac ultrasound isolation membranes is mostly performed manually by visual inspection. However, this method is difficult to judge for small pinholes by visual inspection, which can easily lead to misjudgment of test results, poor stability, and quality accidents caused by defective products. In addition, manual inspection is extremely inefficient, which reduces the production efficiency of transesophageal cardiac ultrasound isolation membranes. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a device for detecting pinholes in an isolation acoustic membrane for transesophageal echocardiography, thus solving the aforementioned technical problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for detecting pinholes in an isolation acoustic membrane for transesophageal echocardiography, comprising a support assembly, a gas generating assembly for generating gas within the support assembly, a cover assembly detachably mounted on the top of the support assembly, the support assembly comprising a lower block, a fitting assembly for fitting the isolation acoustic membrane for echocardiography on the top of the lower block, the fitting assembly being connected to the gas generating assembly, the fitting assembly comprising a hollow shaft with multiple holes for gas flow, and the cover assembly comprising a shell covering the fitting assembly, with multiple detection components for detecting pinholes in the isolation acoustic membrane for echocardiography mounted at equal intervals on the shell. Multiple detection components for detecting pinholes in the acoustic isolation membrane used in transesophageal echocardiography are installed at equal intervals on the housing. This allows the transesophageal echocardiography acoustic isolation membrane pinhole detection device to more accurately detect the presence of pinholes on the acoustic isolation membrane, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0006] Furthermore, the gas generating assembly includes a carbon dioxide generator, and a microcontroller is fixedly mounted on the top of the housing. A detection lamp is electrically connected to one side of the microcontroller. The detection assembly includes a fixing block sealed and fixed to the housing. A carbon dioxide sensor is detachably installed within the fixing block, and a connecting wire is connected to the tail end of the carbon dioxide sensor. The carbon dioxide sensor is electrically connected to the microcontroller via the connecting wire, and the detection head of the carbon dioxide sensor is located inside the housing. The location of the detection head inside the housing allows the carbon dioxide sensor to continuously monitor the carbon dioxide concentration inside the housing, improving the real-time performance of the transesophageal echocardiogram using an isolation acoustic membrane pinhole detection device.
[0007] Furthermore, an arcuate groove is provided on the top of the lower block near the gas generating component, and the covering component is detachably mounted on the arcuate groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the fitting assembly also includes a lower support ring fixedly installed on the lower block. The lower support ring is hollow, and a sealing element is sealed to the bottom of the lower support ring. A connecting pipe is connected to the sealing element, and the hollow shaft is fixedly installed on the lower support ring.
[0009] Furthermore, a top head is fixedly installed on the top of the hollow shaft. The top head is used to support the sound-absorbing membrane for cardiac ultrasound, and multiple holes for gas flow are provided on the top head.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower support ring has an I-shaped cross-section. This I-shaped cross-section ensures a more secure installation of the acoustic isolation membrane for transesophageal echocardiography, enhancing the practicality of the pinhole detection device for the acoustic isolation membrane used in transesophageal echocardiography.
[0011] Furthermore, the carbon dioxide generator is equipped with multiple buttons, and the front end of the carbon dioxide generator is provided with an outlet pipe for releasing carbon dioxide, which is sealed to the connecting pipe.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention involves placing a sound-transparent membrane for transesophageal echocardiography onto a fitted assembly. A carbon dioxide sensor then injects carbon dioxide gas into the assembly. After a certain amount of carbon dioxide is injected, the concentration is monitored in real-time by sensors located around the housing. If a gas leak is detected, it indicates a pinhole leak. A microcontroller then activates a detection light, enhancing the intelligence of the pinhole detection device for transesophageal echocardiography using a sound-transparent membrane.

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0016] Example The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6This application provides a further detailed description. A device for detecting pinholes in an isolation acoustic membrane used in transesophageal echocardiography includes a support assembly 1, a gas generating assembly 2 for generating gas within the support assembly 1, and a detachable covering assembly 3 on the top of the support assembly 1. The support assembly 1 includes a lower block 11, and a fitting assembly 12 for attaching the isolation acoustic membrane for echocardiography is provided on the top of the lower block 11. The fitting assembly 12 is connected to the gas generating assembly 2. The fitting assembly 12 includes a hollow shaft 126, on which multiple holes 125 for gas flow are formed. Covering assembly 3 includes a housing 31 covering the fitting assembly 12. Multiple detection components 32 for detecting pinholes in the sound-absorbing membrane used in cardiac ultrasound are evenly spaced on the housing 31. Gas generating assembly 2 includes a carbon dioxide generator 21. A microcontroller is fixedly mounted on the top of the housing 31, and a detection lamp is electrically connected to one side of the microcontroller. Detection components 32 include a fixing block 323 sealed and fixed to the housing 31. A carbon dioxide sensor 321 is detachably disposed within the fixing block 323. The carbon dioxide sensor 321 has a tail... A connecting wire 322 is connected to the end of the housing. The carbon dioxide sensor 321 is electrically connected to the microcontroller controller via the connecting wire 322. The detection head of the carbon dioxide sensor 321 is located inside the housing 31. An arc groove 13 is provided on the top of the lower block 11 near the gas generating assembly 2. The cover assembly 3 is detachably mounted on the arc groove 13. The fitting assembly 12 also includes a lower support ring 121 fixedly mounted on the lower block 11. The lower support ring 121 is hollow, and a sealing element 122 is sealed to the bottom of the lower support ring 121. A connecting pipe 123 is connected to component 122. A hollow shaft 126 is fixedly installed on the lower support ring 121. A top head 124 is fixedly installed on the top of the hollow shaft 126. The top head 124 is used to support the sound-absorbing membrane for cardiac ultrasound. Multiple holes for gas flow are opened on the top head 124. The cross-section of the lower support ring 121 is I-shaped. Multiple buttons 22 are provided on the carbon dioxide generator 21. An outlet pipe 23 for releasing carbon dioxide is provided at the front end of the carbon dioxide generator 21. The outlet pipe 23 is sealed to the connecting pipe 123.
[0017] The working principle of the microcontroller installed on the top of the housing 31 can be divided into four basic steps: input, processing, output, and feedback. First, the microcontroller receives input signals from external devices or users, such as button presses or sensor detection information. Next, the microcontroller processes the input signals, performs calculations and judgments according to the set algorithms and logic, and then generates corresponding output signals based on the processing results to control the working status and display information of external devices. Since a detection light is electrically connected to one side of the microcontroller, and the carbon dioxide sensor 321 is electrically connected to the microcontroller through connecting wire 322, when the carbon dioxide concentration inside the housing 31 exceeds the standard, the carbon dioxide sensor 321 can transmit an electrical signal to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller controls the detection light to light up, thus improving the intelligence of the transesophageal cardiac ultrasound isolation sound-transparent membrane pinhole detection device.
[0018] Since the top head 124 and the lower support ring 121 have the same diameter, when the ultrasound isolation membrane is fitted onto the fitting assembly 12, the top of the ultrasound isolation membrane is attached to the top of the top head 124, while the bottom of the ultrasound isolation membrane is fitted into the middle ring groove of the lower support ring 121. This allows the ultrasound isolation membrane to be firmly fixed onto the fitting assembly 12 and to be in a supported state.
[0019] Since the top head 124, the lower support ring 121, and the hollow shaft 126 are all hollow and have holes 125, when the gas emitted by the carbon dioxide generator 21 enters the fitting assembly 12 through the connecting pipe 123, the carbon dioxide will flow through the holes 125. When there is a pinhole on the transesophageal ...
[0020] The working principle of this utility model is explained below: Unless otherwise specified, all internal mechanical structures of the transesophageal echocardiogram isolation membrane pinhole detection device are threaded. To allow for a more intuitive observation of the technical features, bolt connections are appropriately concealed in the diagram. When using the transesophageal echocardiogram isolation membrane pinhole detection device, the user places the echocardiogram isolation membrane to be tested onto the fitting assembly 12 and seals the bottom. The user then places the housing 31 over the arcuate groove 13. The user then activates the carbon dioxide generator 21 and releases carbon dioxide into the fitting assembly 12. The carbon dioxide circulates within the echocardiogram isolation membrane through the holes 125 on the hollow shaft 126. When a pinhole is found on the echocardiogram isolation membrane... If carbon dioxide leaks into the housing 31, it will be detected by the carbon dioxide sensor 321. The carbon dioxide sensor 321 then sends an electrical signal to the microcontroller at the top of the housing 31. The microcontroller triggers the adjacent detection light to light up. Therefore, the lighting of the detection light indicates that a pinhole has appeared on the transesophageal echocardiogram isolation membrane. Through the cooperation of the above structure, the pinhole detection device for transesophageal echocardiogram isolation membrane can detect the concentration of carbon dioxide in real time through the carbon dioxide sensors set around the housing. If gas leakage is detected, it indicates that there is a pinhole leak in the product. The microcontroller then controls the detection light to light up, which improves the intelligence of the transesophageal echocardiogram isolation membrane pinhole detection device.
[0021] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
