Abstract
An ultrasound probe 11 includes a housing 12, a transducer array 13 that is retained in the housing 12 and has a rear surface portion 13B, from which a wiring cable WC1 is drawn out, a circuit substrate 15 that is retained in the housing 12, the wiring cable WC1 being connected to the circuit substrate 15, a battery 14 that is retained in the housing 12 and performs power supply, and a fire protection structure that is disposed between the transducer array 13 and the circuit substrate 15 in the housing 12.
Claims8
An ultrasound probe comprising:
- a housing;
- a transducer array that is retained by the housing and has a rear surface portion, from which a wiring cable is drawn out and a remaining surface portion except the rear surface portion;
- a circuit substrate that is retained in the housing, the wiring cable being connected to the circuit substrate;
- a battery that is retained in the housing and performs power supply;
- and
- a fire protection structure disposed between the transducer array and the circuit substrate in the housing,
- wherein the rear surface portion of the transducer array is disposed inside the housing and the remaining surface portion of the transducer array is disposed outside the housing,
- the fire protection structure has
- a rib that protrudes from an inner surface of the housing and separates between the rear surface portion and the circuit substrate, and
- a flame retardant member adhered to the rib,
- an opening portion into which the wiring cable is inserted is formed in the rib,
- the flame retardant member is arranged to fill a gap between the opening portion and the wiring cable, and
- a closed space is defined by the housing, the rear portion of the transducer array, and the flame retardant member.
