Abstract

A needle guiding bracket with adjustable angles is provided, comprising a bracket body, a mounting base, and an angle block; the angle block and the mounting base are rotationally connected at corresponding first ends, and a cooperating limiting structure is provided between the angle block and the mounting base to enable the angle block and the mounting base to only relatively rotate; a second end of the angle block is provided with at least one elastic arm having raised positioning platforms; a second end of the mounting base is provided with at least one group of angle gear grooves for the raised positioning platforms to be embedded therein; and the angle block is further provided with an elastic element which applies elastic force to the elastic arms so as to enable the raised positioning platforms to be embedded within the angle gear grooves.

Claims (11)

1. A needle guiding bracket with adjustable angles, comprising a bracket body configured to cooperatively mount with an ultrasound probe, a mounting base arranged on the bracket body, and an angle block rotationally connected with the mounting base, wherein the angle block and the mounting base are rotationally connected at corresponding first ends, and a corresponding limiting structure is provided between the angle block and the mounting base to enable the angle block and the mounting base to only rotate relative to each other, and the angle block is also provided with configurations for mounting a needle guide or directly forming a needle tract, characterized in that:

the mounting base comprises a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate, and the first end of the angle block is rotationally connected between the first ends of the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate;

a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm extend from a second end of the angle block, and a first raised positioning platform and a second raised positioning platform are respectively provided on outer sides of the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm in a direction perpendicular to the rotation plane of the angle block, and corresponding second ends of the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate are respectively provided with a first group of angle gear grooves and a second group of angle gear grooves for the first raised positioning platform and the second raised positioning platform being embedded therein respectively;

the angle block is further provided with an elastic element which abuts between the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm and applies elastic force to the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm to urge the first raised positioning platform and the second raised positioning platform to be embedded within the corresponding angle gear grooves,

wherein the elastic element is a compression spring, and a first cylinder and a second cylinder are oppositely provided on inner side surfaces of the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm in a direction perpendicular to the rotation plane of the angle block, and two ends of the compression spring are respectively sleeved on the first cylinder and the second cylinder; and

the mounting base is provided with a track block positioned between the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate, and the track block has an undercut; and an elastic rail arm extends from the angle block opposite to the track block, and the elastic rail arm has an elastic barb which is just locked with the undercut when the angle block is rotated to a maximum angle relative to the mounting base.

2. The needle guiding bracket with adjustable angles of claim 1 , wherein a first elastic sheet and a second elastic sheet extend from the first ends of the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate respectively, with the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet being correspondingly provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole, and two outer sides of the first end of the angle block are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft which are installed into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

3. The needle guiding bracket with adjustable angles of claim 1 , wherein a first rotating matching surface and a second rotating matching surface are respectively provided on both sides of the angle block, and the first rotating matching surface and the second rotating mating surface respectively cooperate with an inner surface of the first limiting plate and an inner surface of the second limiting plate to limit the angle block and the mounting base to only rotate relative to each other.

4. The needle guiding bracket with adjustable angles of claim 1 , wherein angle gear marks corresponding to the first group of angle gear grooves and the second group of angle gear grooves are provided on outer surfaces of the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate respectively.

5. The needle guiding bracket with adjustable angles of claim 1 , wherein each of the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm is further provided with an operating portion to enable the raised positioning platform being released from the angle gear grooves.

6. The needle guiding bracket with adjustable angles of claim 1 , wherein the elastic rail arm is further provided with a first sliding matching surface and a second sliding matching surface which are slidably matched with both sides of the track block during rotation of the angle block relative to the mounting base.
