Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the accommodation performance of a supersonic probe, etc., without deteriorating the recognition performance for a keyboard and a display part, by installing a board which can be inserted and pulled out through a slide system on the side wall of a body part, installing a probe holder in the upper part of the board, installing a cable receiving part in the lower part, and installing a connector joint part inside the body. CONSTITUTION:When not used, a board 11 is accommodated into a body, and a door 14 is closed. At this time, a supersonic probe 4 is held on a probe holder 8, and a cable 5 is tightened and accommodated to a cable receiving part 13. In use, the door 14 is opened, and the board 11 is pulled out to this side. The supersonic probe 4 which is taken out from this state is taken out from the position lower than that of a keyboard 3 and a display part 2, and the cable 5 is pulled out from inside the cable receiving part 13 in interlocking. Accordingly, the cable 5 is prevented from reaching the position where the recognition performance of the keyboard 13 and display part 2 is deteriorated, and since, in no use, the supersonic probe, cable, etc., are perfectly accommodated into the body part, the contact of the cable 5 with other parts during transfer is prevented.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a medical ultrasonic diagnostic device that obtains a desired image while touching a patient with an ultrasonic probe connected to a main body via a cable, a connector, etc. In particular, the present invention relates to improvements in the ease of use and storage of ultrasonic probes and cables.

(Prior Art) FIGS. 4 and 5 are configuration diagrams showing a conventional medical ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. In each figure, 1 is a box-shaped main body part, 2 is a display part, 3 is a keyboard on which keys, trackballs, etc. are arranged, and 4 is a cable connected to the main part 1 via a cable 5, a connector 6, etc. A sonic probe, 7 a cable support column, 8 a probe holder for storing the ultrasound probe and gel, and 9 a cable hook. In the example of FIG. 4, the cable 5 is supported by the cable support column 7 (hereinafter referred to as
(It's called the fishing rod method). On the other hand, in the example of FIG.
is supported by a cable hook 9 (hereinafter referred to as the hook method). Furthermore, considering the operability of the ultrasonic diagnostic equipment on board, the height of the keyboard 3 is approximately 1 m.
It is slightly higher than the patient bed.

In such a configuration, when in use, the operator (doctor) usually places the patient on the left side and the ultrasound diagnostic device on the right side, and while operating the keyboard 3, ultrasound probe l↓, etc., the operator (doctor) displays the information displayed on the display unit 2. You will see an image.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, the cable 5 is composed of multicore wires and a shielding member, so it is relatively thick and hard.

Further, the cable 5 is configured to be relatively long in order to facilitate the operation of bringing the ultrasound probe 4 into contact with a desired location on the patient. Therefore, if the cable 5 is supported by a fishing rod, the cable 5 may hang down between the operator and the display section 2, impairing key operation and visibility of the display section (reducing operability). There was a problem. On the other hand, the hook type has problems such as the cables becoming dirty due to contact with the floor, and the cables becoming entangled with each other (which occurs when multiple ultrasound probes are connected). Furthermore, in either method, when the device is moved, there is a risk that the hanging cable may come into contact with other objects, which is dangerous.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide an ultrasonic probe that does not impair key operation or visibility of the display, and that improves the storage of ultrasonic probes, cables, etc. The objective is to realize a diagnostic device.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention, which solves the above-mentioned problems, is an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus consisting of a main body part in which a keyboard, a display part, etc. are arranged on the upper part, and a signal processing part, etc. are arranged inside. Yes, cable,
In an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus that obtains a desired image while an ultrasound probe connected to a main body via a connector or the like contacts a patient, a board that can be slid in and out by a sliding method is provided on the side wall of the main body, and the board is The device is characterized in that a probe holder is installed in the upper part, a cable receiver is installed in the lower part, and a connector connection part is provided inside the main body. Further, in the present invention, the side wall of the main body is constituted by an opening door, a probe holder is installed at the lower part of the inner plate surface of the door, a cable receiver is installed at the lower part of the inner plate surface, and the connector connection part is installed inside the main body. It is characterized by the fact that it has been provided.

(Function) The probe holder and cable receiver are provided inside the board or opening/closing door that can be taken in and out by sliding. As a result, when the ultrasonic probe is held in the probe holder, the cable is always stored in the cable receiver. To operate the super wave probe, it is taken out from a position lower than the keyboard, display section, etc., and the cable is pulled out from the cable receiver in conjunction with it. Therefore, at this time, the cable does not reach a position that impairs the visibility of the keyboard or display section, nor does it come into contact with the floor.

On the other hand, if you push the board into the main unit or close the door that also serves as the side wall, the ultrasound probe and cables can be completely stored inside the main unit.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, symbols that are the same as those in FIG. 4 have the same meanings, so a redundant explanation will be omitted. Reference numeral 11 denotes a board that can be slid in and out of the main body through an opening 12 formed by opening a door 14 on the side wall of the main body 1, and 12 is a cable receiver provided at the bottom of the board surface of the board 11. , 14 are doors for opening and closing. A probe holder 8 is installed at the top of the board 11, and a cable receiver 13 is installed at the bottom.

One end of the cable 5 is connected to a connector inside the main body. Although one ultrasonic probe 4 is provided in FIG. 1, a plurality of ultrasonic probes may be connected.

In such an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, when not in use, the board 11 is stored inside the main body and the door 14 is closed, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. At this time, the ultrasonic probe is held by the probe holder, and the cables are stored together in the cable receiver. When in use, open door 1 as shown in Figure 1.
4 is opened and the board 11 is pulled out. The ultrasonic probe 4 is taken out from this state from a position lower than the keyboard 3 and the display section 2, and the cable 5 is pulled out from the cable receiver 13 in conjunction. Therefore, the cable 5 does not reach a position that impairs the visibility of the keyboard 3 or the display section 2, nor does it come into contact with the floor. On the other hand, when not in use, the ultrasound probe, cable, etc. are completely stored inside the main body as described above (see Figures 2 and 3), so when the ultrasound diagnostic equipment is moved, the cable 5 is have no contact with.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, if the door 14 has enough mechanical strength and space to install a probe holder, cable receiver, etc.,
The door may be replaced by a board (Dv has a structure that also serves as the side wall of the main body).

It is clear that in this case as well, it is easy to use and has excellent storage properties as in the configuration shown in FIG.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is provided that does not impair key operation or the visibility of the display section, and that improves the ability to store ultrasonic probes, cables, etc. can be realized.
