In the embodiment of the present utility model shown in the drawings, the power connector 141 is provided at an end of the base body 130 and protrudes outward from the base body 130. Of course, those skilled in the art can also arrange the power connector 141 at other positions of the base body 130 that are easy to plug according to actual requirements. The power panel 140 is connected to the control panel 150, the display panel 160, and the ultrasonic generator 110, respectively, for supplying power to the control panel 150, the display panel 160, and the ultrasonic generator 110.

The container assembly 20 may further include a container body 230 and a container base 240, the container body 230 being seated in the container base 240 with a sandwich space formed between the container base 240, the ultrasonic transducer 210 being disposed in the sandwich space, and the second connector 220 being disposed at the bottom of the container base 240.

The ultrasonic transducer 210 may be fixed to the bottom wall lower surface of the container body 230 with a vibration gap being preset between the bottom wall upper surface of the corresponding region with the container base 240, the vibration gap being at least greater than 0.5mm. That is, in designing the container assembly 20, the height of the container base 240 should be greater than the height of the container body 230 such that the height of the interlayer space between the bottom wall lower surface of the container body 230 and the bottom wall upper surface of the container base 240 is sufficient to mount the ultrasonic transducer 210 without impeding the normal vibration of the ultrasonic transducer 210.

In the embodiment of the present utility model shown in the drawings, the number of the ultrasonic transducers 210 is three, and the ultrasonic frequencies inherent to the three ultrasonic transducers 210 are the same and are disposed at intervals along the length direction of the container body 230 in the interlayer space.

It will be appreciated that the ultrasonic transducer 210, as a core component of the ultrasonic treatment apparatus, generates a large amount of heat during the continuous high frequency vibration, and is prone to overheating damage itself due to excessive temperature. The ultrasonic transducer 210 is directly fixed on the container main body 230, and heat generated by the ultrasonic transducer is accumulated to the container main body 230, so that the temperature of the container main body 230 is high, and the contact part between the object to be treated and the container main body 230 is cured, thereby seriously affecting the treatment quality of the object to be treated.

The temperature detecting device 250 in the embodiment of the utility model can be connected with the control board 150 through the power board 140 in the base main body 130, when the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 210 is detected to exceed a preset first temperature value (30-35 ℃), the ultrasonic generator 110 can be controlled to stop working through the control board 150, so that the ultrasonic transducer 210 is stopped for cooling, and when the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 210 is reduced to a preset second temperature value (20-25 ℃), the ultrasonic generator 110 is restarted. Thus, not only the ultrasonic transducer 210 can be effectively prevented from being overheated and damaged, but also the treatment quality of the object to be treated can be effectively ensured.
