CONNECTION SYSTEM AND AN ULTRASOUND SYSTEM COMPRISING SAID CONNECTION SYSTEM

摘要

A connection system for connecting a probe to an electronic device, comprising a first element (11) attached to the electronic device, a second element (12) attached to the probe, an activation device (14), and a third element (13) that can be moved by the activation device (14) relative to the first element (11) between an activated position and an inactivated position for establishing or not electrical contacts. The second element (12) can be locked or released to the third element (13) by a fixation mechanism (15). The third element (13) can be moved by the activation device (14) between the activated position and the inactivated position, the second element being locked to or released from the third element (13).

主权项

1. A connection system (10) for connecting a probe to an electronic device, wherein the probe emits and/or receives ultrasound waves into a medium, and wherein the connection system comprises:
a first element (11) having first electrical contacts, said first element being attached to the electronic device, a second element (12) having second electrical contacts for providing an electrical connection between the first electrical contacts and the second electrical contacts, said second element being attached to the probe, an activation device (14), and a third element (13) that can be moved by the activation device (14) relative to the first element (11) between an activated position and an inactivated position, wherein in the activated position the first electrical contacts can contact the second electrical contacts, and in the inactivated position the first electrical contacts can not contact the second electrical contacts, said connection system being characterized in that: the second element (12) can be locked to the third element (13) by a locking mechanism (15) so as the probe is mechanically connected to the electronic device, or the second element (12) can be released from the third element (13) by said locking mechanism (15) so as the probe is mechanically disconnected from the electronic device, and the third element (13) can be moved by the activation device (14) between the activated position and the inactivated position, the second element (12) being locked to or released from the third element (13).
