Abstract
Provided is a portable ultrasonic probe including a main body comprising a transducer configured to generate an ultrasonic wave, and a folder part comprising a display and rotatably coupled to an end portion of the main body, wherein the main body further comprises an analog to digital (AD) converter and a beamformer, the AD converter and the beamformer being provided in a chip.
Claims20
A portable ultrasonic probe, comprising:
- a main body comprising a transducer configured to generate an ultrasonic wave, a heat pipe configured to deliver heat generated from the transducer toward a first direction, and a first connector configured to absorb the heat delivered from the heat pipe, the first direction being opposite to a second direction in which the ultrasonic wave is radiated;
- and
- a folder part comprising a first display and rotatably coupled to an end portion of the main body,
- wherein the main body further comprises an analog to digital (AD) converter and a beamformer, the AD converter and the beamformer being provided in a chip,
- wherein the transducer, the AD converter, and the beamformer are provided in a module, and the module is detachably provided in the main body, and
- wherein the folder part comprises a second connector that comes into contact with the first connector when the folder part is opened, the second connector configured to deliver heat from the first connector to a first side of the folder part opposite to a second side of the folder part at which the second connector is positioned.

An ultrasonic system, comprising:
- a portable ultrasonic probe comprising a first communicator circuitry configured to transmit data output from a beamformer;
- and
- a backend part comprising a second communicator circuitry to receive the data transmitted from the first communicator circuitry, and a first display to display an ultrasonic image based on the data received by the second communicator circuitry,
- wherein the portable ultrasonic probe further comprises:
- a main body, the main body comprising the beamformer, an analog to digital (AD) converter, and a transducer configured to generate an ultrasonic wave, a heat pipe configured to deliver heat generated from the transducer toward a first direction, and a first connector configured to absorb the heat delivered from the heat pipe, the first direction being opposite to a second direction in which the ultrasonic wave is radiated;
- and
- a folder part comprising a second display and rotatably coupled to an end portion of the main body, and
- wherein the transducer, the AD converter, and the beamformer are provided in a module, and the module is detachably provided in the main body, and
- wherein the folder part comprises a second connector that comes into contact with the first connector when the folder part is opened, the second connector configured to deliver heat from the first connector to a first side of the folder part opposite to a second side of the folder part at which the second connector is positioned.
