However, the cup holder 200 is usually detachably connected to the supporting device 100 for easy assembly and disassembly.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, in one embodiment, the receiving cup 200 includes a cup shell 210, an active heat dissipation assembly (e.g., a fan 220) and a control unit 230. The cup shell 210 is provided therein with a receiving structure for placing the ultrasound probe 300 and a docking structure for connecting with the support device 100 of the ultrasound system. The housing structure has a housing cavity 301 housing the ultrasound probe 300, and the ultrasound probe 300 is receivable in the housing cavity 301. The active heat dissipation assembly is mounted on the cup housing 210 for dissipating heat from the ultrasound probe 300. The active heat dissipation assembly is used for dissipating heat of the ultrasonic probe 300 by actively reducing temperature, generating air flow and the like. The control unit 230 is in signal connection with the active heat dissipation device for controlling the operation of the active heat dissipation device.

The conventional storage sleeve 200 is a mere probe storage device for placing the ultrasonic probe 300 when the ultrasonic probe 300 is in a non-operating state.

For example, the ultrasound probe 300 shown in fig. 4 is a wireless ultrasound probe, which requires portability and compactness, and many existing wireless ultrasound probes do not want to increase the volume of the probe in order to solve the problem of heat dissipation, so that the performance of the probe is often compromised, the performance and power consumption of the probe are reduced, and the progress of the ultrasound examination is seriously affected. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation function of the storage cup holder 200 is utilized to dissipate heat, so that the ultrasonic probe 300 does not need to be modified, and a large amount of time and research and development cost can be saved. In particular, the operational performance of the ultrasonic probe 300 can be improved without increasing the volume of the ultrasonic probe 300, and the ultrasonic probe 300 can satisfy higher requirements and more complicated ultrasonic testing.

Although the embodiment shown in fig. 4 is shown as a wireless ultrasound probe, the ultrasound probe 300 shown in this embodiment also includes a wired ultrasound probe, and the storage cup 200 can also be applied to heat dissipation of the wired ultrasound probe.
