ULTRASONIC PROBE USING A VERTICALLY ARRANGED MOTOR

摘要

The ultrasonic probe using a vertically arranged motor proposed by the present invention is configured such that the motor stands upright in the ultrasonic probe, and a side pulley is located in a tangential direction of a probe-shaft pulley, thereby enabling rotating force generated by the vertically arranged motor to be smoothly transferred to an array axis of ultrasonic elements and significantly simplifying the structure of the ultrasonic probe and remarkably reducing manufacturing costs. In addition, the ultrasonic probe using a vertically arranged motor according to the present invention implements a mechanism which enables straightly linear operation while using the vertically arranged motor. Thus, the ultrasonic probe may have an ergonomic design to significantly improve user satisfaction.
