Description of the Related Art A transmission type ultrasonic inspection apparatus is known which sends ultrasonic waves to a subject and receives the ultrasonic waves transmitted through the subject to inspect the inside of the subject. In the ultrasonic inspection apparatus (prior art 1) shown in FIG. 3, a plate-shaped receiving probe 10 having an area larger than the inspection region of the subject 1 is used.
The subject 1 is placed above the subject 1, and the subject 1 is inspected by scanning the transmitting probe 102 from the upper side of the subject 1 with a scanner 103 having an XYZ axis drive mechanism. The transmitting probe 102 is scanned in the XY plane by the scanner 103, and the entire surface of the subject 1 is irradiated with ultrasonic waves at a predetermined pitch. A part of the ultrasonic wave transmitted from the wave transmitting probe 102 is transmitted through the subject 1 and received by the wave receiving probe 101, and at each point as a function of the XY coordinate of the ultrasonic wave transmitting point. Since the reception intensity of ultrasonic waves is obtained, a two-dimensional image of the subject 1 is created based on this reception intensity.

Then, the wave transmission probe 105 and the wave reception probe 106 are attached to the tip of the branched arm 104 so as to face each other, and the arm 104 is driven by a scanner (not shown). By scanning the opposing wave-transmitting probe 105 and wave-receiving probe 106 in the ZY plane across the subject 1, the reception intensity of the ultrasonic wave at each point on the ZY coordinates can be obtained. A two-dimensional image of the subject 1 is obtained based on the reception intensity.

Child 2 is scanned. At this time, the driving force of the scanner 9 applied to the wave transmission unit U1 is only the AB direction component in FIG. 1 and the driving force does not act in the vertical direction. When the wave unit U1 is lifted up from the subject 1, the wave transmission unit U
Also, the subject 1 is not pushed downward by 1.

It follows U1 and moves in the AB direction. At this time, the transmitting probe 2 and the receiving probe 12 are maintained in a positional relationship such that they are substantially coaxial with each other.

An electric pulse is applied. When an ultrasonic pulse is transmitted from the wave transmitting probe 2 in response to an electric pulse, the transmitted ultrasonic wave propagates in the water inside the wave transmitting probe holder 3 and is incident on the subject 1. . Part of the ultrasonic waves propagated in the subject 1 is the subject 1.
Is transmitted through the water and propagates in water inside the wave-receiving probe holder 13, and is received by the wave-receiving probe 12. The ultrasonic waves transmitted through the subject 1 at each point on the scanning surface in this way are received by the receiving probe 1.
At 2, the signal is converted into a received signal (electrical signal). Then, a two-dimensional image of the subject 1 is displayed based on the reception intensity of the received wave at each point.

Although 1 is driven by the scanner 9, the wave receiving unit U2 may be driven instead of driving the wave transmitting unit U1. When driving the wave-receiving unit U2, the wave-transmitting unit U1 moves following the wave-receiving unit U2. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, the wave-transmitting probe 2 and the wave-receiving unit U2 are received. The coaxial relationship with the probe 12 is maintained. Further, the upper and lower positions of the wave sending unit and the wave receiving unit may be interchanged, and in this case as well, the inspection can be performed by driving either one of the units.

を選択することができる。Buoyancy in water can be provided by forming a part of the wave-transmitting unit U1 or the wave-receiving unit U2 by a member having a smaller specific gravity than water, or by providing an air layer. For example, in FIG. 1, the receiving unit U2
When a part of the magnet is made of a material with a small specific gravity and buoyancy is given in water, the buoyancy acts in a direction to assist the magnetic force of the magnets 6 and 16, so the attraction force of the magnets 6 and 16 can be reduced. Becomes If the wave receiving unit U2 can be brought into close contact with the subject 1 only by buoyancy, the wave receiving unit U2 will not fall from the surface of the subject 1 without a magnetic force acting in the suction direction. If you use buoyancy in water like this,
The vector of the magnetic action force between the wave-transmitting unit U1 and the wave-receiving unit U2 in the attraction direction can be made small, or can be zero or negative (repulsion direction), and the following performance of the wave-receiving unit U2 can be obtained. The arrangement of the magnets can be selected to further improve
