Ultrasound probe

摘要

The present invention relates to an ultrasound therapy system using high-intensity focused ultrasound. The present invention improves ultrasound and heat release characteristics and provides an ultrasound probe which easily performs manufacturing and maintenance processes. According to the present invention, a housing is recessed on the inward side around the upper-part edge. A plurality of mounting holes are uniformly formed from the outside at a constant radius to the edge in the center of the upper part. And a plurality of probe units are respectively installed to the plurality of mounting holes to form a sphere in the upper part of the housing wherein a first connection pin is protruded to the lower part of the housing in the lower part of a copper connection bar and a rear block, a piezoelectric wafer, and an acoustic matching layer are sequentially stacked on the upper part of the connection bar.

主权项

1. An ultrasound probe, comprising:
a housing recessed inward from edges at an upper part thereof and having a plurality of mounting holes formed apart from a center and to the edges; and a plurality of probe units installed in the mounting holes, respectively, so that a spherical surface for a spherical focusing is formed at the upper part of the housing, wherein each of the probe units includes:
a connection bar having electric and thermal conductivity;a first connection pin formed on a lower surface of the connection bar and protruded from a lower part of the housing through the corresponding mounting hole of the housing;a rear block formed on an upper surface of the connection bar and having an inclined plane for forming the spherical surface;a piezoelectric wafer formed on the inclined plane of the rear block; andat least one acoustic matching layer formed on an upper surface of the piezoelectric wafer.
