Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical and nursing technology, and in particular relates to a user-friendly ultrasound probe placement device. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasound probes are used for examinations of the abdomen, superficial organs (such as the thyroid), blood vessels, heart, and cavities (such as gynecology). They achieve precise imaging through probes of different shapes and frequencies (such as abdominal probes, superficial probes, and cavities probes).
[0003] In current clinical practice, after disinfection, probes are usually suspended vertically on the equipment's metal hook or placed horizontally in an open slot. This has the following technical drawbacks: open storage exposes the probes to the air in the treatment environment for extended periods, leading to the accumulation of pathogens. Therefore, disinfection is still required before each use. To address these drawbacks, we propose a user-friendly ultrasound probe placement device. Utility Model Content

[0030] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides an easy-to-use ultrasound probe placement device according to this utility model.
[0031] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides an easy-to-use ultrasound probe placement device, including a base 10 and an instrument placement tray 11 disposed on the upper surface of the base 10. The right side of the instrument placement tray 11 is provided with a plurality of grooves 12, and an ultrasound probe storage mechanism is assembled inside the grooves 12.
[0032] The ultrasonic probe storage mechanism includes a protective cover 20 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove 12, an opening slot on the right side of the protective cover 20, an arc-shaped closed door 21 that slides with the opening slot, an elastic buckle 22 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 20, an ultrasonic probe 23 that is snapped into the inner wall of the elastic buckle 22, and a locking assembly for fixing the arc-shaped closed door 21. The lower end of the ultrasonic probe 23 is connected to a data cable 24 through a quick connector. The opening slot on the right side of the protective cover 20 cooperates with the arc-shaped closed door 21 to achieve sliding opening and closing. The locking assembly fixes the arc-shaped closed door 21 to ensure airtightness. The elastic buckle 22 is built into the protective cover 20 and uses its elastic deformation characteristics to snap into the ultrasonic probe 23, thereby facilitating the quick loading and unloading of the ultrasonic probe 23.
[0033] The inner bottom wall of the protective cover 20 has a through hole for the data cable 24 to pass through, and the inner wall of the through hole has a circular sealing groove 50. The surface of the data cable 24 is fixedly installed with a circular baffle 51 that matches the circular sealing groove 50. The inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the protective cover 20 both have circular grooves 60, and the arc-shaped closed door 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 60. The data cable 24 is led out from the through hole, and the circular baffle 51 on the surface of the data cable 24 contacts the circular sealing groove 50 on the inner wall of the through hole. This ensures the freedom of movement of the data cable 24 when it is pulled out of the ultrasonic probe 23, and also achieves dust prevention in the static state through the matching of the circular baffle 51 and the circular sealing groove 50.
[0034] The protective cover 20 is equipped with a disinfection component, which consists of annular ultraviolet disinfection lamps 30 embedded in the top and bottom walls of the protective cover 20. The upper end of the protective cover 20 is equipped with a control switch for controlling the opening and closing of the annular ultraviolet disinfection lamps 30. The annular structure of the annular ultraviolet disinfection lamps 30 is adapted to the shape of the space where the ultrasonic probe 23 is stored, ensuring that the ultraviolet light evenly covers the surface of the probe. The annular ultraviolet disinfection lamps 30 can disinfect the ultrasonic probe 23 by emitting ultraviolet light, and the dual-lamp layout forms a three-dimensional irradiation field, eliminating disinfection dead corners inside the protective cover 20. At the same time, the circular baffle 51 contacts the circular sealing groove 50 on the inner wall of the through hole to prevent ultraviolet light from overflowing along the through hole.
[0035] The locking assembly includes a protruding plate 40 fixedly installed on one side of the arc-shaped closed door 21, a mounting groove formed on the upper surface of the protruding plate 40, a locking pin 41 slidably installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove, a locking plate 42 fixedly installed on one side of the protective cover 20, a locking groove 43 formed on the surface of the locking plate 42 for the locking pin 41 to be inserted, and a reset component disposed inside the mounting groove. The reset component includes a compression spring 44 disposed on the inner wall of the mounting groove, a strip groove formed on the right side of the protruding plate 40, and a slider 45 that slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the strip groove. One end of the strip groove is connected to the interior of the mounting groove, one side of the slider 45 extends into the interior of the mounting groove and is fixedly connected to the surface of the locking pin 41, one end of the compression spring 44 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the mounting groove, and the other end of the compression spring 44 abuts against the lower end of the locking pin 41.
[0036] When the arc-shaped closed door 21 is closed, the locking pin 41 on the protruding plate 40 is inserted into the locking groove 43 of the locking plate 42 under the action of the compression spring 44, forming a mechanical interlocking structure. The locking pin 41 is linked by the sliding cooperation between the slider 45 and the strip groove. When the slider 45 is manually pulled, the compression spring 44 stores energy, the locking pin 41 exits the locking groove 43 and is unlocked. After the slider 45 is released, the compression spring 44 resets and pushes the locking pin 41 to return to its original position automatically.
[0037] The device utilizes the elastic buckle 22 and the arc-shaped closed door 21 to form a double protective structure, which ensures the rapid placement and removal of the ultrasonic probe 23 while avoiding damage from bumps. The three-dimensional layout of the double ring ultraviolet disinfection lamps 30 can cover the probe surface and the inside of the protective cover 20. The control switch enables disinfection on demand. The ultraviolet blocking function of the circular baffle 51 prevents harmful light leakage. Compared with the traditional metal hook hanging mode, this device changes the disinfection cycle from "temporary disinfection before use" to "continuous sterilization during storage", which facilitates operation.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] Probe placement: The ultrasonic probe 23 is quickly engaged and disengaged through the elastic deformation characteristics of the elastic buckle 22. The data cable 24 can freely extend and retract through the bottom through hole. The circular baffle 51 and the circular sealing groove 50 cooperate to maintain a seal.
[0040] Door opening and closing: The arc-shaped closed door 21 slides along the circular groove 60 to open and close. When closed, it is automatically locked by the locking assembly. The locking pin 41 is inserted into the locking groove 43 under the action of the compression spring 44 to form a mechanical interlock.
[0041] Disinfection activation: The ring-shaped ultraviolet disinfection lamp 30 with dual lamp layout automatically performs three-dimensional irradiation sterilization on the probe surface, while the circular baffle 51 simultaneously blocks ultraviolet leakage.
[0042] Unlocking operation: Manually pull the slider 45 outward to move the locking pin 41 out of the locking groove 43, compressing the spring 44 to store energy; after releasing, the compressed spring 44 resets and automatically relocks.
[0043] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
