Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear magnetic resonance detection equipment, specifically a nuclear magnetic resonance detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technique based on the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance. Human tissues contain a large number of hydrogen nuclei (protons), which carry a positive charge and possess spin characteristics. Normally, their spin directions are random. When the human body enters the strong magnetic field of an MRI machine, the hydrogen protons align themselves along the direction of the magnetic field (similar to a compass pointing to the north and south poles), remaining in a stable low-energy state. The machine emits radio frequency pulses at a specific frequency, consistent with the resonance frequency of the hydrogen protons. After absorbing the energy from the radio frequency pulses, the hydrogen protons transition from a low-energy state to a high-energy state, their spin direction deviating from the direction of the main magnetic field. After the radio frequency pulses stop, the high-energy hydrogen protons release the absorbed energy, return to the low-energy state, and restore their original spin direction; this process is called relaxation. During relaxation, a weak electromagnetic signal is generated, which is captured by the receiving coil of the machine. Different tissues (such as muscle, fat, tumors, and bone) have different hydrogen proton densities and relaxation times, resulting in variations in signal intensity. The computer processes and analyzes the received signals, combines them with the spatial positioning of the human body using gradient magnetic fields, and finally generates anatomical or functional images of the human body through cross-sections.

[0003] Because the core requirement for MRI imaging is that the patient and the area being examined remain still during the scan, any slight movement will cause the image to blur. However, patients with certain diseases, such as Parkinson's disease or epilepsy, may not be able to remain still during the examination, thus affecting subsequent imaging.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a nuclear magnetic resonance detection device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: The present invention provides an MRI detection device, including an MRI machine and a testing bed for the patient to lie flat; it also includes: a plurality of straps, one end of which is fixedly connected to the testing bed, a plurality of "U"-shaped connecting plates are fixedly installed at one end of the testing bed, and positioning bolts are threadedly connected to the connecting plates, one end of which abuts against the straps; a headrest base, fixedly installed on the testing bed, and two symmetrically arranged flexible auxiliary pillows on the testing bed, and the two auxiliary pillows are adjustable.

[0007] Furthermore, the headrest base has two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves, and a sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The top of the sliding block is fixedly connected to the auxiliary pillow. A positioning hole is provided on one side of the sliding block, and several horizontally arranged through holes are provided on one side of the headrest base. A positioning rod is threaded into the through holes.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of collars are fixedly sleeved on the surface of the positioning rod, and the collars are made of rubber.

[0009] Furthermore, a flexible pad is fixedly installed on the headrest base, and one end of the headrest base has a rounded corner.

[0010] Furthermore, a spring is fixedly installed inside the groove, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the sliding block.

[0011] Furthermore, two multi-stage telescopic tubes are fixedly installed inside the chute, and one end of each multi-stage telescopic tube is fixedly connected to a sliding block; the multi-stage telescopic tube is composed of several hollow plates that are slidably connected.

[0012] Furthermore, a base plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding block, and several discharge grooves connected to the sliding groove are opened in the headrest base, and the discharge grooves are inclined.

[0013] Furthermore, the hollow plates inside the multi-stage telescopic tube are sealed and slidably connected, and the sealed plates are connected to each other through round holes. An air inlet pipe with a one-way valve is fixedly installed at the top of the multi-stage telescopic tube and is connected to the interior. An air outlet pipe with a one-way valve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the multi-stage telescopic tube and is connected to the interior.

[0014] Furthermore, a filter screen is fixedly installed inside the air outlet pipe, and several arc-shaped guide plates are fixedly installed on one side of the filter screen.

[0015] Furthermore, a disposable care sheet is laid on the headrest base, and rectangular grooves are opened on both sides of the headrest base, with Velcro fasteners fixedly installed inside the rectangular grooves.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. The MRI detection device of this invention uses several straps to fix the patient to the examination bed. One end of each strap passes through a connecting plate and is secured with a positioning bolt, thus assisting in fixing the patient to the examination bed. The patient's head rests on a headrest base, with rounded corners to facilitate a smooth transition when the headrest base contacts the patient's head, providing protection and preventing diaphragmatic injury. A flexible pad is also installed on the headrest base for cushioning. A sliding block in a sliding groove moves the auxiliary pillow closer to the patient's head. Once the auxiliary pillow reaches the appropriate position, it stops, and a positioning rod is inserted into the corresponding through hole for fixation, thus securing the sliding block and auxiliary pillow. Two auxiliary pillows temporarily clamp and fix the patient's head; the flexible nature of the pillows prevents pressure injury. This designed structure allows for rapid fixation of the patient during the examination, while also providing targeted fixation based on the needs of different patients. This prevents uncontrolled movement by the patient due to their condition during the examination, which could affect the results.

[0018] 2. In the MRI detection device of this invention, when the patient needs to leave the examination bed after the examination, the positioning rod is pulled out from the positioning hole. At this time, the auxiliary pillow and the sliding block will slide back to their original positions under the action of the spring, causing the two auxiliary pillows to slide away from each other, thus no longer clamping the patient's head. Since multi-stage telescopic tubes are installed on both sides of the sliding block, the sliding block moves along with the multi-stage telescopic tubes. When one of the multi-stage telescopic tubes is sliding and stretched, it draws in external gas through the air inlet pipe and fills the multi-stage telescopic tube with gas through several round holes. When the sliding block resets, it squeezes the previously stretched multi-stage telescopic tube, causing the gas inside the multi-stage telescopic tube to be blown into the slide groove through the air outlet pipe. The gas is dispersed by several arc-shaped guide plates when blown out, thereby expanding the blowing range and achieving efficient cleaning of the slide groove. The filter screen is installed to reduce the possibility of impurities entering the air outlet pipe and causing blockage. The blown gas assists the bottom plate in cleaning the inside of the chute, and the impurities in the chute are discharged through the inclined discharge chute, thereby cleaning the chute and preventing impurities in the chute from affecting the normal sliding of the sliding block.

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device includes an MRI machine 1 and an examination bed 2 for the patient to lie flat; it also includes: several straps 3, one end of which is fixedly connected to the examination bed 2; several "U"-shaped connecting plates 4 are fixedly installed at one end of the examination bed 2; positioning bolts 5 are threadedly connected to the connecting plates 4, and one end of the positioning bolts 5 abuts against the straps 3; a headrest base 6 is fixedly installed on the examination bed 2, and the examination bed 2 has two symmetrically arranged flexible auxiliary pillows 7, which are adjustable. A flexible pad 14 is fixedly installed on the headrest base 6, and one end of the headrest base 6 has a rounded corner 15.

[0030] Specifically, the headrest base 6 has two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves 8, and a sliding block 9 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 8. The top of the sliding block 9 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary pillow 7. A positioning hole 10 is opened on one side of the sliding block 9, and several horizontally arranged through holes 11 are opened on one side of the headrest base 6. A positioning rod 12 is threadedly connected to the through holes 11. Several collars 13, made of rubber, are fixedly fitted on the surface of the positioning rod 12.

[0031] Specifically, a disposable care sheet is laid on the headrest base 6, and rectangular grooves 24 are opened on both sides of the headrest base 6. Velcro 25 is fixedly installed inside the rectangular grooves 24.

[0032] During operation, when the patient lies on the examination bed 2 of the MRI machine 1, a disposable nursing pad is first laid on the headrest base 6, and the two sides of the disposable nursing pad are tucked into the rectangular groove 24 and secured with Velcro 25. Several straps 3 are then used to secure the patient to the examination bed 2, with one end of the straps 3 passing through the connecting plate 4 and secured with positioning bolts 5, thus assisting in securing the patient to the examination bed 2. At this time, the patient's head rests on the headrest base 6. The rounded corners 15 on the headrest base 6 facilitate a smooth transition when the headrest base 6 contacts the patient's head, thus providing protection and preventing diaphragmatic injury. A flexible pad 14 is also installed on the headrest base 6 for cushioning and protection.

[0033] At this point, the sliding block 9 in the sliding groove 8 moves the auxiliary pillow 7 closer to the patient's head. Once the auxiliary pillow 7 is in the appropriate position, it stops. Then, the positioning rod 12 is inserted into the corresponding through hole 11 and fixed in the positioning hole 10, thus fixing the sliding block 9 and the auxiliary pillow 7. The two auxiliary pillows 7 temporarily clamp and fix the patient's head, and because the auxiliary pillows 7 are flexible, they will not cause any squeezing injury to the patient.

[0034] The structure designed above allows for rapid immobilization of patients during examinations, while also providing targeted immobilization based on the specific needs of different patients. This prevents patients from moving uncontrollably during the examination due to their own conditions, thus avoiding any impact on the examination results.

[0035] A spring 16 is fixedly installed inside the slide chute 8, and one end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 9. Two multi-stage telescopic tubes 17 are fixedly installed inside the slide chute 8, and one end of the multi-stage telescopic tubes 17 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 9; the multi-stage telescopic tubes 17 are composed of several hollow plates slidably connected together. A base plate 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding block 10, and several discharge troughs 19 connected to the slide chute 8 are opened inside the headrest base 6, and the discharge troughs 19 are inclined.

[0036] Specifically, the hollow plates inside the multi-stage telescopic tube 17 are sealed and slidingly connected, and the sealed plates are connected by round holes. An air inlet pipe 20 with a one-way valve is fixedly installed at the top of the multi-stage telescopic tube 17 and communicates with the interior. An air outlet pipe 21 with a one-way valve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the multi-stage telescopic tube 17 and communicates with the interior. A filter screen 22 is fixedly installed inside the air outlet pipe 21, and several arc-shaped guide plates 23 are fixedly installed on one side of the filter screen 22.

[0037] During operation, when the patient needs to leave the examination bed after the examination, the positioning rod 12 is pulled out from the positioning hole 10. At this time, the auxiliary pillow 7 and the sliding block 9 will slide back to their original positions under the action of the spring 16, causing the two auxiliary pillows 7 to slide away from each other, thus no longer clamping the patient's head. Since multi-stage telescopic tubes 17 are installed on both sides of the sliding block 9, the sliding block 9 will move along with the multi-stage telescopic tubes 17 when it moves. At this time, when one of the multi-stage telescopic tubes 17 is sliding and stretched, it will draw in external air through the air inlet pipe 20 and fill the multi-stage telescopic tube 17 with air through several round holes. When the sliding block 9 is reset, it will squeeze the previously stretched multi-stage telescopic tube 17, causing the air in the multi-stage telescopic tube 17 to be blown into the slide groove 8 through the air outlet pipe 21. When the air is blown out, it will be dispersed by several arc-shaped guide plates 23, thereby expanding the blowing range and achieving the function of efficiently cleaning the slide groove 8. The filter screen 22 is installed to reduce the occurrence of impurities entering the air outlet pipe 21 and causing blockage. The blown gas assists the bottom plate 18 in cleaning the inside of the slide 8, and the impurities in the slide 8 are discharged through the inclined discharge chute 19, thereby achieving the function of cleaning the slide 8 and preventing impurities in the slide 8 from affecting the normal sliding of the sliding block 9.

[0038] It should be noted that since there are two multi-stage telescopic tubes 17, when one multi-stage telescopic tube 17 is stretched, the other multi-stage telescopic tube 17 will shrink accordingly. The working principle is the same, so it will not be described again.

[0039] Working principle: When the patient lies on the examination bed 2 of the MRI machine 1, a disposable nursing pad is first laid on the headrest base 6, and the two sides of the disposable nursing pad are inserted into the rectangular groove 24 and fixed with Velcro 25. Then, several straps 3 are used to fix the patient to the examination bed 2, with one end of the strap 3 passing through the connecting plate 4 and fixed with positioning bolts 5, thereby helping to fix the patient to the examination bed 2. At this time, the patient's head rests on the headrest base 6, and the rounded corners 15 on the headrest base 6 are to facilitate a transition when the headrest base 6 comes into contact with the patient's head, thereby providing protection and avoiding diaphragmatic injury to the patient. At the same time, a flexible pad 14 is installed on the headrest base 6 to provide cushioning protection. At this time, the sliding block 9 in the sliding groove 8 moves the sliding block 9, carrying the auxiliary pillow 7, closer to the patient's head. When the auxiliary pillow 7 moves to the appropriate position, it stops, and then the positioning rod 12 is inserted into the corresponding through hole 11 and then into the positioning hole 10 for fixation, thereby fixing the sliding block 9 and the auxiliary pillow 7. Two auxiliary pillows 7 are used to temporarily clamp and fix the patient's head. The auxiliary pillows 7 are flexible, so they will not cause compression injury to the patient.

[0040] When the patient finishes the examination and needs to leave the examination bed, the positioning rod 12 is pulled out from the positioning hole 10. At this time, the auxiliary pillow 7 and the sliding block 9 will slide back to their original positions under the action of the spring 16, causing the two auxiliary pillows 7 to slide away from each other, thus no longer clamping the patient's head. Since multi-stage telescopic tubes 17 are installed on both sides of the sliding block 9, the sliding block 9 will move along with the multi-stage telescopic tubes 17 when it moves. At this time, when one of the multi-stage telescopic tubes 17 is sliding and stretched, it will draw in external air through the air inlet pipe 20 and fill the multi-stage telescopic tube 17 with air through several round holes. When the sliding block 9 is reset, it will squeeze the previously stretched multi-stage telescopic tube 17, causing the air in the multi-stage telescopic tube 17 to be blown into the slide groove 8 through the air outlet pipe 21. When the air is blown out, it will be dispersed by several arc-shaped guide plates 23, thereby expanding the blowing range and achieving the function of efficiently cleaning the slide groove 8. The filter screen 22 is installed to reduce the possibility of impurities entering the air outlet pipe 21 and causing blockage. The blown gas assists the bottom plate 18 in cleaning the inside of the slide 8, and the impurities in the slide 8 are discharged through the inclined discharge chute 19, thereby achieving the function of cleaning the slide 8 and preventing impurities in the slide 8 from affecting the normal sliding of the sliding block 9.

Figure 1 Based on the perspective of the observer, the side of the device facing the observer is defined as the front, the left side of the observer is defined as the left, and so on.
