Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ultrasonic probe technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic probe adapter. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasound probe is a crucial data acquisition component in an ultrasound system. Used in conjunction with ultrasound imaging equipment, it enables the imaging of the human body, both on the surface and inside. The ultrasound probe generates high-frequency ultrasound waves and receives echo signals, thus creating images of the body's interior. Different ultrasound probes are required for different objects or areas being examined. Traditionally, one approach is to purchase multiple ultrasound systems to handle different examination targets. Another approach is to switch probes within a single ultrasound system to change the required probe size. However, this increases the cost of purchasing the ultrasound system or leads to inefficiencies due to repeated probe changes.

[0003] In existing technologies, probes need to be repeatedly replaced for different objects or parts to be examined, resulting in low examination efficiency. To address this issue, we propose an ultrasonic probe adapter. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where repeated probe replacement is required for different examination objects or parts, resulting in low examination efficiency. This invention provides an ultrasonic probe adapter.

[0005] The ultrasonic probe adapter provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An ultrasonic probe adapter, comprising:

[0007] shell;

[0008] The control circuit board is installed inside the housing.

[0009] Main cable; the main cable connects to the control circuit board.

[0010] Power supply cable, which connects to the control circuit board;

[0011] There are four probe sockets, which are mounted on the control circuit board.

[0012] Furthermore, the main cable is connected to a signal processing module, which is connected to four probe sockets and a processor.

[0013] Furthermore, the signal processing module includes a signal filtering circuit, a follower circuit, an isolation circuit, and a selection circuit. The filtering circuit is used to eliminate interference signals generated during transmission.

[0014] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. This solution, with its four probe sockets, allows for the selection of more types or a greater number of ultrasound probes while using the same ultrasound host, thus improving examination efficiency;

[0016] 2. This solution utilizes a signal processing module, which can process analog signals transmitted internally by different types of ultrasound probes.

[0017] This invention allows for the expansion of the probe socket of the original ultrasound host in a one-to-many manner during use, achieving plug expansion without the need for repeated probe replacements and effectively improving examination efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-7 An ultrasonic probe adapter, comprising:

[0028] 4. Outer shell;

[0029] Control circuit board 5 is installed inside housing 4;

[0030] Main cable 1, which is connected to control circuit board 5;

[0031] Power supply cable 2 is connected to control circuit board 5;

[0032] The probe socket 3 is provided with four probe sockets 3. The four probe sockets 3 are installed on the control circuit board 5. The main cable 1 is connected to the signal processing module 6. The signal processing module 6 is connected to the four probe sockets 3. The signal processing module 6 is connected to the processor 7. The signal processing module 6 includes a signal filtering circuit, a follower circuit, an isolation circuit and a selection circuit. The filtering circuit is used to eliminate interference signals generated during transmission.

[0033] Signal filtering circuit: Different types of ultrasound probes transmit tiny analog signals, which are easily interfered with during transmission. Therefore, a signal filtering circuit is needed to eliminate interference signals.

[0034] Follower circuit: It has a high impedance to the preceding stage circuit and a low impedance to the following stage circuit, which can improve the load-carrying capacity and play a role in buffering and improving the load-carrying capacity.

[0035] Isolation circuit: Optocouplers combine light-emitting elements and light-receiving elements together. Through an electro-optical-electro-electric conversion, they use the "light" element to achieve isolation, making the input and output completely electrically isolated.

[0036] Selection circuit: By combining control signals, one of the multiple data inputs is selected and sent to the output. The 4-to-1 data selector selects the data source of the four inputs and requires two selection inputs S0 and S1 control signals.

[0037] The implementation principle of an ultrasound probe adapter in this application embodiment is as follows: In use, the main cable 1 connects to the original socket of the ultrasound host, and then through the control circuit board 5 inside the outer casing 4, four new ultrasound probe sockets 3 are extended. More types or more numbers of ultrasound probes can be connected through the four probe sockets 3, such as different types of linear ultrasound probes, convex ultrasound probes, and endoscopic ultrasound probes. This can reduce the high cost problem caused by hospitals needing to purchase different ultrasound systems to achieve different examination objects, and there is no need to re-plug and unplug to switch ultrasound probes. It can be configured simply through the adapter, making the hospital's examination efficiency higher.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
