DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter, the structures of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the figures.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2-1 to 2-3, a needle groove body 1 provided by an embodiment of the present invention is a hollow cylindrical structure, and consists of a first baffle 11, a first fixing plate 12, a limiting plate 13, and a second fixing plate 14 which are connected in sequence, wherein the first baffle 11 can be designed in a variety of thickness specifications.


In the needle groove body 1 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the first baffle 11 and the limiting plate 13 are parallel to each other, and the first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 14 are parallel to each other.


In the needle groove body 1 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a boss 121 is provided in a central portion at one end of the first fixing plate 12. The first fixing plate 12 is provided with u-shaped connecting grooves 122 at positions on both sides of the boss 121. The first fixing plate 12 is further provided with a first indicator arrow 123 “↓” and a model mark 124 for promptly indicating the specification of a needle in use. The second fixing plate 14 is provided with two n-shaped engaging grooves 141.


As shown in FIG. 3, a puncture frame body for use together with the above needle groove body 1, as provided by an embodiment of the present invention, has a connecting portion 2 at one end, and the connecting portion 2 is provided with a second baffle 21 and an inclined mounting plate 22 which are perpendicular to each other, wherein an upper surface of the inclined mounting plate 22 is a needle insertion start plane, and the inclined mounting plate 22 can be fitted with the bottom of the needle groove body 1.


In the puncture frame body for use together with the above needle groove body 1, as provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the inclined mounting plate 22 is provided with a first rib position 23 and a second rib position 24 which are parallel to each other and cooperate with the first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 14, respectively, wherein the needle groove body 1 can be sleeved outside the first rib position 23 and the second rib position 24.


In the puncture frame body for use together with the above needle groove body 1, as provided by the embodiment of the present invention, two hooks 231 are provided at a top end on one side of the first rib position 23 away from the second rib position 24, for catching the needle groove body 1. A reinforcing rib 232 is provided at a bottom end on one side of the first rib position 23 close to the second rib position 24, and can enhance elastic feel in the hand. A second indicator arrow 233 “↓” is further provided in a central portion on one side of the first rib position 23 away from the second rib position 24.


In the puncture frame body for use together with the above needle groove body 1, as provided by the embodiment of the present invention, two limiting ribs 241, which are provided at a bottom end on one side of the second rib position 24 away from the first rib position 23, cooperate with the two n-shaped engaging grooves 141, respectively. The limiting ribs 241, which are engaged with the n-shaped engaging grooves 141 on the needle groove body 1, can catch the needle groove body 1 so that the needle groove body 1 does not shake.


As shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, a puncture frame provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of the above needle groove bodies 1 and one of the above puncture frame bodies. The first baffles 11 of the plurality of needle groove bodies 1 are different in thickness. When the puncture frame body is used in cooperation with needle groove bodies 1 of different thickness specifications, the spacing between the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 21 would be changed to adapt to puncture needles of different specifications.


The puncture frame provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be implemented according to the following operation steps in specific use:


After the puncture frame body is fixed to an ultrasonic B-ultrasound probe, the needle groove body 1 of a suitable specification is selected, and the side marked with the first indicator arrow 123 “↓” provided on the selected needle groove body 1 is placed in the same direction as the second indicator arrow 233 “↓” provided on the puncture frame body and is pressed down along a direction indicated by the second indicator arrow 233 “↓” on the puncture frame body. At this time, the two hooks 231 provided on the first rib position 23 are deformed. When the needle groove body 1 is pushed into position (the bottom end of the needle groove body 1 is completely fitted with the inclined mounting plate 22), the two hooks 231 are elastically returned to clamp the needle groove body 1 on the puncture frame body for fixation, and after hearing a “snap” sound, this indicates that it has been installed in place. The two limiting ribs 241 provided on the second rib position 24 are engaged with the two n-shaped engaging grooves 141 provided on the needle groove body 1 to catch the needle groove body 1 so that it does not shake. At this time, a free open u-shaped needle groove 3 is formed between the first baffle 11 of the needle groove body 1 and the second baffle 21 as well as the inclined mounting plate 22 of the puncture frame body, and, in a B-ultrasound puncture operation, the puncture needle can be freely inserted at any angle into the formed free open u-shaped needle groove 3. When the puncture needle specification needs to be changed during an operation, the structure of the boss 121 provided on the needle groove body 1 is pinched and pressed inward until it stops, such that the two hooks 231 are separated from the needle groove body 1; the needle groove body 1 is lifted upward and taken out for a replacement with a needle groove body 1 of the required specification. The difference between the needle groove bodies 1 of different specifications lies in the wall thickness of the first baffle 11 provided on the needle groove body 1, so that the spacing between the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 21 (i.e., the width of the u-shaped needle groove 3) can be adjusted, for the convenience of the operation.


The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, simple improvements and the like made in the essential contents of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
