Abstract

To reduce noise which leaks to the outside in an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. An internal AC wiring unit 34 is composed of internal AC wiring which is installed on the input side of a power source circuit, and a shield case 38 which accommodates it. The internal AC wiring includes an inlet, a plurality of connectors, a relay substrate, and a plurality of internal AC cables. The internal AC wiring is protected from radiation noise which is generated in a casing 22 by the shield case 38 . Thereby, the noise which leaks to the outside via an external AC cable is reduced.

Claims (29)

1. An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus including:

a housing which is structured as an outer shield case;

a first inner shield case installed in the housing and accommodating a power source circuit, the power source circuit configured to power an electronic circuit which functions in an ultrasonic diagnosis; and

a second inner shield case structured as a shield case which is different from the first inner shield case, the second inner shield case installed in the housing and accommodating internal AC wiring which is installed on the input side of the power source circuit,

wherein the internal AC wiring includes:

a relay substrate,

a first internal AC cable which is installed between an external AC cable and the relay substrate, and

a second internal AC cable which is installed between the relay substrate and the power source circuit.

2. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the internal AC wiring further includes a third internal AC cable which is installed between the relay substrate and a power source connector for external equipment.

3. An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus including:

a housing which is structured as an outer shield case;

a first inner shield case installed in the housing and accommodating a power source circuit, the power source circuit configured to power an electronic circuit which functions in an ultrasonic diagnosis; and

a second inner shield case structured as a shield case which is different from the first inner shield case, the second inner shield case installed in the housing and accommodating internal AC wiring which is installed on the input side of the power source circuit,

the internal AC wiring includes an internal AC cable configured to supply the power to the power source circuit,

the first inner shield case has a first side face having a first opening configured to accept the internal AC cable,

the second inner shield case has a second side face having a second opening configured to eject the internal AC cable, and

the first side face and the second side face mutually face.

4. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the first opening and the second opening are close to each other, and the first opening and the second opening are in a positional relation such that they at least partially overlap when viewing from a direction which is orthogonal to the first side face and the second side face.

5. An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus including:

a housing which is structured as an outer shield case;

a first inner shield case installed in the housing and accommodating a power source circuit, the power source circuit configured to power an electronic circuit which functions in an ultrasonic diagnosis; and

a second inner shield case structured as a shield case which is different from the first inner shield case, the second inner shield case installed in the housing and accommodating internal AC wiring which is installed on the input side of the power source circuit,

wherein the housing includes:

a front face plate equipped with a probe connector, and

a rear face plate,

wherein a digital electronic circuit, an analog electronic circuit, the power source circuit, and the internal AC wiring are accommodated in an internal space between the front face plate and the rear face plate, and

wherein the first inner shield case and the second inner shield case are fixed to an inner face of the rear face plate.
