More Information
Summary:An ultrasonic probe having a bubble removing device is provided to remove remaining bubbles from a liquid medium by guiding the bubbles from a tube to a cavity. An ultrasonic probe includes an ultrasonic element(111a), a housing(112), a driver(120), a cover(113), a liquid medium(116), and a bubble removing device(130). The housing reciprocally supports the ultrasonic element. The driver is fixed on the housing and reciprocally moves the ultrasonic element. The cover is coupled with the housing to form a sealed space where the ultrasonic element moves. The liquid medium is filled in the sealed space to deliver an ultrasonic signal. The bubble removing device includes a tube member and a soft path. The tube member includes a first end which is coupled to communicate with the sealed space through the housing, and a closed second end which is arranged to be farther from the cover than the first end. The soft path becomes narrower from the first end to the second end.
