detailed description

The invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

In some embodiments of the invention, an ultrasound imaging apparatus is provided having an identification implemented in accordance with the present invention. The ultrasonic imaging apparatus provided in the embodiments of the present invention may be any type of ultrasonic imaging apparatus such as a trolley type ultrasonic imaging apparatus, a notebook type portable ultrasonic imaging apparatus, a handheld ultrasonic imaging apparatus, a flat type ultrasonic imaging apparatus, and the like. For the sake of brevity, in the drawings, ultrasound is not shown. Like the overall structure of the device, only the corresponding identification-related partial structure on the ultrasound imaging device is shown schematically.

In this article, for the convenience of description, some content uses the term "lighting logo". However, it should be understood that the "illumination mark" herein is not to be construed as limitingly that the mark itself is illuminated. On the contrary, light from other light sources is transmitted through the mark so that the mark appears to be illuminated from a visual effect. The situation is also included.

As used herein, the term "identity" may be any type of logo, such as text and/or characters of any language type, as well as graphics, graphics, and the like.

Herein, the words "upper", "lower", etc., which are used to indicate directions, may be understood by referring to the directions in the drawings.

Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3, in some embodiments of the present invention, the ultrasonic imaging apparatus may include a display screen 3, a housing 2, a light transmissive plate 1, and a partial shading element 4.

The display screen 3 may be an element for displaying an operation interface of the ultrasonic imaging apparatus and the obtained ultrasonic image or the like, which may be any suitable type of display such as a liquid crystal display, a touch display, or the like. Display 3 emits light when in operation.

The housing 2 may be the outer casing of the entire ultrasound imaging device (eg, for a flat-panel type ultrasound imaging device or a handheld ultrasound imaging device) or the outer casing of the display of the ultrasound imaging device (eg, for a trolley-type ultrasound imaging device or a notebook-type portable ultrasound) Imaging device). At least a portion of the housing 2 covers at least a portion of the display screen 3. A hollowing hole 5 is formed in a portion of the casing 2 covering the display screen 3. This hollowed hole 5 is used to form the desired marking (described in detail below). The cutout 5 can have an outline that conforms to the contour of the logo that needs to be formed. For example, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, when the identification to be formed is the subtitle "d", the outline of the hollow hole formed on the casing 2 may be the outer contour of the letter "d". Herein, the outline of the hollow hole on the casing 2 is referred to as a "first profile". Thus, the first contour is identical to the outer contour of the logo that needs to be formed.

The housing 2 can be made of a material that is opaque to light.

The light-transmitting plate 1 is disposed between a portion of the casing 2 covering the display screen 3 and the display screen 3. The light transmissive plate 1 can be made of a light transmissive material.

It should be understood that the "translucent material" and "opaque material" mentioned herein should not be understood strictly in the literal meaning of "light transmission" and "opaque", that is, should not be limited to strict absolute Opaque or strictly absolute 100% light transmission, but should be in accordance with the field for "light transmission" and "no The general meaning of light transmission is understood. For example, "light transmission" herein may include complete light transmission and partial light transmission.

The partial shading element 4 may be made of an opaque material that is disposed on the light transmissive plate 4 and located within the hollow hole 5. Here, the partial shading element 4 is located in the hollow hole 5, and may be a partial shading element in a plane parallel to the plane of the casing 2 or the light-transmitting plate 1 or parallel to the plane in which the casing 2 or the light-transmitting plate 1 is located. 4 relative to the position of the hollow hole 5.

The partial shading element 4 accordingly has an outer contour that shapes the area between the contour of the partial shading element 4 and the first contour of the corresponding hollow opening 5 of the housing 2 to form the desired marking. Herein, the outline of the partial shading member 4 is referred to as a "second contour". That is, the area between the second outline of the partial shading element 4 and the first contour of the corresponding hollow opening 5 on the housing 2 forms the shape of the desired marking. For example, referring to Figs. 2 and 3, the partial shading member 4 is located in the hollow hole 5, and the area between the contour shapes of the two forms a shape of "d".

Thus, the light emitted from the display screen 3 passes through the light-transmitting plate 1 while the ultrasonic imaging device is in operation. Since the housing 2 and the partial shading element 4 are opaque, light will exit from the region between the contoured edge of the hollow hole 5 of the housing 2 and the contoured edge of the partial shading element 4. Since the area between the second contour of the hollow hole 5 and the second contour of the partial shading element 4 forms the desired shape of the marking, as described above, in this case, from the external visual effect Going up, a sign of the desired illumination is formed on the housing 2. For example, in the example of FIGS. 2 and 3, a luminous letter "d" is formed on the casing 2.

Similarly, any other desired identification can be formed on the housing.

Moreover, according to the embodiment of the present invention, by the cooperation of the hollow hole and the partial shading element, it is possible to form a mark which is relatively complicated or which cannot be formed by the method of hollowing out. For example, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the identification of the letter "m" may simply be hollowed out on the housing to form the shape of the letter "m". For the identification of the letter "d", the outer contour of the letter "d" can only be formed by the method of hollowing out, and the letter "d" cannot be formed. Similarly, other letters or graphic indicia with internal discontinuities may not be formed by hollowing out methods, such as the letters "B", "o", and the like. According to the invention, such marking can be achieved by the cooperation of the hollowing holes and the partial shading elements.

In embodiments of the invention, the partial shading element 4 can take a variety of forms.

For example, in some embodiments, the partial shading element 4 may be a partial visor that is attached to the light transmissive panel 1 by suitable attachment, such as by adhesive bonding, soldering, or by other interfitting connections. and many more.

In some embodiments, the partial shading element 4 can also be a partial shading screen that can be printed on the light transmissive plate 1 by printing.

In some embodiments, the partial shade element 4 can also be a partial light-shielding coating that can be applied to the light-transmitting sheet 1 by a suitable coating means.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, in some embodiments of the present invention, the light transmissive plate 1 may be provided with an extension that extends into the hollow hole 5 of the housing 2. The cross-sectional profile of the extension may coincide with the first contour of the cutout 5 . The partial shading element 4 may be disposed on the top end face of the extension. The top end face of the extension may be flush with the upper surface of the housing 2 to provide a smoother, more aesthetic appearance.

In some embodiments, the sides of the extension may be in sealing contact with the side walls of the hollow aperture 5 of the housing 2 to prevent dust, water or other foreign matter from entering the housing 2.

The above is a further detailed description of the present invention in connection with the specific embodiments, and the specific embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the description. A number of simple derivations or substitutions may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the inventive concept.
