Abstract:
Ultrasonic diagnostic equipment provided with a lock perceiving means for letting an operator perceive that connection between a connector of an ultrasonic probe and a socket of an ultrasonic diagnostic equipment main body being mechanically locked, the lock perceiving means includes a lock confirming conduction means for changing electric conduction as the connection between the connector of the ultrasonic probe and the socket of the ultrasonic diagnostic equipment main body being mechanically locked, and a lock informing means for informing the operator of the locking based on a change of the electrical conduction, the lock confirming conduction means includes a conductive movable contact/lock pin projecting in a direction perpendicular to a cam shaft provided to the connector and having a connector lock releasing handle attached thereto, and lock confirming contact points, provided to the ultrasonic diagnostic equipment main body, that brings points into conduction by coming in contact with the movable contact/lock pin when locking.
