[00161 In order to make the object, the technical solution and the advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and thoroughly described hereinafter in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention and the respective drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. On the basis of the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by a person ordinarily skilled in the art without expending inventive labor all belong to the scope claimed by the present invention.
[00171 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a wireless ultrasonic probe is provided.
[00181 Referring to Fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram illustrating an overall structure of one embodiment of a wireless ultrasonic probe 100 according to the present invention. [00191 The wireless ultrasonic probe 100 may include a probe body 101 and a heat sink 103. The probe body 101, which can be used to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves, can include an ultrasonic transducer and a control circuit for controlling the ultrasonic transducer (not shown in Fig. 1). The heat sink 103 may include a first end portion 1031 and a second end portion 1032. Therein, at least a part of the second end portion 1032 is disposed within the probe body 101, and the first end portion 1031 is formed in a manner that the second end portion 1032 extends to the outside of the probe body. As such, heat generated within the probe body 101 can be dissipated via the heat sink 103.
[00201 In one embodiment of the present invention, a heat sink 103 can be of a flexible strip shape and can have a hollow structure, and its hollow portion can be filled with a flexional thermally conductive material. In one embodiment of the present invention, the thermally conductive material can be silicone oil.
[00211 Referring to Fig. 2, which is a schematic diagram illustrating one embodiment of a heat sink of a wireless ultrasonic probe according to the present invention. In order to dissipate heat generated within the probe body in a more efficient manner, in one embodiment of the present invention, thermally conductive patches 201 can be provided on a circuit board and an ultrasonic transducer within the probe body. The thermally conductive patches 201 each can have one face thereof cling against means or locations which generate relatively large amounts of heat, such as a high-voltage pulse generating circuit, an analog front-end circuit and the like. The thermally conductive patches 201 can be connected to a second end portion 1032 of a heat sink 103, so as to dissipate heat generated by electric devices through the heat sink 103.
[00221 In one embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of circuit boards are provided within a probe body and are stacked together in a flexible and rigid bonding manner, a thermally conductive patch can be provided between two adjacent circuit boards and these thermally conductive patches are connected to a second end portion 1032 of a heat sink 103.
[00231 Referring to Fig. 3, which is a schematic diagram illustrating one embodiment of charging and discharging means 300 of a wireless ultrasonic probe according to the present invention.
[00241 As shown in Fig. 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, the charging and discharging means 300 can include a charging and discharging plug 301, a charging and discharging circuit 302 and a power supply socket 303. The charging and discharging plug 301, the charging and discharging circuit 302 and a battery 304 of the wireless ultrasonic probe can be disposed at a first end portion 1031 of a heat sink 103. When the charging and discharging plug 301 is plugged into an external power supply, a charging circuit of the wireless ultrasonic probe is on, and electric power of the external power supply charges the battery 304 via the charging and discharging plug 301 and the charging and discharging circuit 302. When the charging and discharging plug 301 is plugged into the power supply socket 303, a power supply circuit of the wireless ultrasonic probe is on, and electric energy stored in the battery 304 is supplied to electric devices within the probe body via the charging and discharging circuit 302. In one embodiment of the present invention, the power supply socket 303 can be disposed on the probe body, i.e., is designed integral with the probe body 101, and as such, when the charging and discharging plug 301 is plugged into the power supply socket 303, a heat sink 103 can be bent to have an annular shape, so as to facilitate the user's operation.
[00251 Since the charging and discharging circuit 302 will generate heat during the charging and discharging procedures, in order to carry out heat dissipation on the charging and discharging circuit 302, in one embodiment of the present invention, thermally conductive patches 305 can be provided at locations adjacent to the charging and discharging circuit 302. One face of each of the thermally conductive patches 305 can be in contact with areas or components which generate relatively large amounts of heat in the charging and discharging circuit 302. The thermally conductive patches 305 can dissipate heat generated by the charging and discharging circuit 302 via the heat sink 103 by way of connection to the first end portion 1031 of the heat sink 103.
[00261 Referring to Fig. 4, which is a schematic diagram illustrating a discharging operation state of a wireless ultrasonic probe according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[00271 The wireless ultrasonic probe according to the embodiments of the present invention has been described thus far. The wireless ultrasonic probe is designed to have a heat sink extending out of the probe body, and a charging and discharging circuit is designed at one end of the heat sink. In this way, it is possible to efficiently dissipate heat generated by the wireless ultrasonic probe during the charging and discharging operation procedures and charge the wireless ultrasonic probe at low costs.
[00281 The foregoing description is nothing but the embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For one skilled in the art, the present invention can undergo various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope claimed by the present invention.
