As shown in Fig. 1, above-mentioned extension probe cruising ability method, the step including predetermined value is arranged before promoter probe Suddenly, which includes: the unlatching threshold value of echo-signal, standby predetermined time, the standby frequency for acquiring predetermined time, processing unit Rate, general work frequency, the specific value for calculating working frequency etc.;It should be pointed out that standby frequency, general work frequency, The frequency values for calculating working frequency successively rise, and energy consumption also successively improves accordingly.When the electric power starting of wireless ultrasound probe Afterwards, further comprising the steps of:
S1. wireless ultrasound probe starts, and ultrasound emission unit emits the ultrasonic signal of fixed frequency;Echo signal reception Unit receives echo-signal;According to the judgement of the echo signal intensity or scheduled operating time, the ultrasound hair is adjusted Penetrate the working condition of one of unit, the echo signal reception unit, processing unit or any combination.
Step s1 judges according to the operating time to the echo-signal or probe received, adjusts the work of corresponding functional unit Make state, can make each functional unit of wireless ultrasound probe while effectively work without being constantly in the high-frequency work of power consumption Make state, such as: the adjusting of on and off is carried out to the working condition of transmitting unit and receiving unit, to the carry out frequency of processing unit Promotion or reduced adjusting.In actual operation, probe can also be reduced when respective threshold is not achieved in echo signal intensity Overall work frequency or will pop one's head in standby.For another example: processing unit can reduce when judging corresponding echo-signal works as The working frequency of preceding ultrasound emission unit or by its temporary close.Hair can be reduced under the premise of not influencing to work normally Heat, while electric energy loss is also reduced, and then achieve the purpose that extend cruise duration.
As shown in Fig. 2, energy-efficient method is carried out using frequency control, executes following steps:
When the frequency of the processing unit being s2. adjusted to standby frequency and judging that echo-signal reaches unlatching threshold value, then Wireless ultrasound probe enters operating mode, and the frequency that frequency adjustment module adjusts processing unit is general work frequency;If echo When signal not up to opens threshold value, then wireless ultrasound probe enters standby mode, after the standby predetermined time, rejudges.
The detailed process of step s2 are as follows: the frequency that frequency adjustment module adjusts processing unit is ultrasound hair after standby frequency Penetrate unit emit in advance fixed frequency ultrasonic signal reflected after available corresponding echo-signal, due to ultrasound believe Number acoustic impedance transmitted in couplant is different from the acoustic impedance transmitted in air, and it is also not identical to receive echo-signal.Nothing When not coating couplant, the intensity of the echo-signal received can weaken much line ultrasonic probe.Computing unit is to echo Its frequency and phase information of signal it can be concluded that ultrasound echo signal intensity value.Judgment module can according to the intensity value with Preset unlatching threshold value is compared judgement, sees whether echo-signal reaches unlatching threshold value.
In the judgement of step s2, echo-signal reach open threshold value then mean probe had been coated with couplant or Fetal Heart Rate range belongs in effective range, i.e., probe has been prepared for starting to carry out ultrasonic monitoring.Conversely, then probe does not have The fetal heart rate signal quality or Fetal Heart Rate range for coating couplant or acquisition will not opened not in effective range Beginning ultrasonic monitoring.Judge whether the received echo-signal of probe reaches by judgment module and opens threshold technology method, it can be very Intuitively know whether probe enters working condition, and then reaches under the working condition that probe does not monitor fetal rhythm to greatest extent Reduction processing unit frequency, reduce probe use power consumption, save wireless ultrasound probe battery capacity.

After step s4 also successively the following steps are included:
S5. central station is sent by Fetal Heart Rate, judges whether to continue to monitor fetal heart rate signal, if so, entering step s3;If It is no, then close the wireless ultrasound probe.
It is controlled using to each functional unit, reduces the embodiment of electric energy loss, step s1 also specifically includes following suitable Sequence step controls its correlation module, further saves electricity, extends the cruising ability of probe:
S11. control module opens the ultrasonic signal of ultrasound emission unit transmitting fixed frequency;
Control module opens echo signal reception unit receives echo-signal;
S12. when echo-signal reaches unlatching threshold value, control module closes echo signal reception unit;
When echo-signal not up to opens threshold value, control module closes ultrasound emission unit and echo signal reception unit, After the standby predetermined time, step s11 is reentered.

If the echo-signal reaches the unlatching threshold value, a is entered step, continues the monitoring of fetal heart rate signal;If The echo-signal is not up to the unlatching threshold value, then closes the wireless ultrasound probe.
It should be pointed out that the foundation that step i is compared is, and if the detection of probe terminates, the coupling on probe Agent can be erased, at this point, obtained echo-signal is necessarily unable to reach unlatching threshold value, probe can be closed voluntarily.Similarly, if Detection needs to continue, and the echo-signal of couplant can be always maintained at the state for reaching and opening threshold value, i.e., probe needs to continue to monitor Fetal heart rate signal.
Preferably, as shown in Fig. 4, after step e can with the following steps are included:
