Abstract
An ultrasound probe and an ultrasound imaging device are provided. In the ultrasound probe, a sound head assembly is accommodated in a housing, a base is accommodated in the housing, and a traction line is accommodated in the housing and connected to the sound head assembly. A traction mechanism is accommodated in the housing. In the traction mechanism, a traction wheel is disposed on the base and rotatable relative to the base for winding the traction line, so that the sound head assembly is driven to swing by the traction line. An elastic member is disposed on the traction wheel and fixedly connected to the traction line, so as to adjust the tension of the traction line when the elastic member elastically deforms.
Claims20
An ultrasound probe, comprising:
- a housing;
- a sound head assembly, disposed in the housing;
- a base, disposed in the housing;
- a traction line, disposed in the housing and connected to the sound head assembly;
- and
- a traction mechanism, disposed in the housing and comprising:
- a traction wheel, disposed on the base and being rotatable relative to the base, wherein the traction wheel is configured to wind the traction line and drive the sound head assembly to swing through the traction line;
- and
- an elastic member, disposed on the traction wheel and fixedly connected to the traction line, wherein the elastic member is configured to adjust tension of the traction line when the elastic member elastically deforms.
An ultrasound imaging device, comprising:
- an ultrasound host;
- and
- an ultrasound probe, connected to the ultrasound host, wherein the ultrasound probe comprises:
- a housing;
- a sound head assembly, disposed in the housing;
- a base, disposed in the housing;
- a traction line, disposed in the housing and connected to the sound head assembly;
- and
- a traction mechanism, disposed in the housing and comprising:
- a traction wheel, disposed on the base and being rotatable relative to the base, wherein the traction wheel is configured to wind the traction line and drive the sound head assembly to swing through the traction line;
- and
- an elastic member, disposed on the traction wheel and fixedly connected to the traction line, wherein the elastic member is configured to adjust tension of the traction line when the elastic member elastically deforms.
