Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a multi-mode oral CBCT device. Background Art

[0002] As an X-ray imaging device, oral cone beam CT has played a huge role in the medical field since the beginning of the 21st century. The cone beam volume images obtained by this technology can help clinicians make better diagnoses of patients. In actual clinical applications, CBCT technology effectively solves the problems of image overlap and distortion in two-dimensional imaging. It solves most medical problems in dental implants, maxillofacial surgery, and periodontal diseases through three-dimensional imaging. This technology is of great significance to the future development and research in the medical field.

[0003] At present, the rotating imaging mechanism of some oral CBCT products on the market is located below the support arm. The center of gravity of such a structure is too low and the moment of inertia is large, which is not conducive to the performance stability of the product and affects the service life of the product. The overall structural rigidity of the machine will also be affected, and the requirements for the lifting column are also higher. In addition, the structure of the radiation source rotating mechanism in the rotating imaging mechanism is not streamlined enough and is heavy, which directly leads to a greater increase in the weight of the detector end in order to balance the weight of this structure, resulting in the entire rotating imaging mechanism. The weight is too large, the pressure on the column is increased, and it is easy to cause bending deformation and a short life. Secondly, the height of the internal components of the existing device is relatively high after being lifted up and down, which is easy to cause the column to be unstable, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of the photographic results. Finally, the existing device requires medical personnel to adjust the position of the patient's head, which is inconvenient to use.

[0034] Example: Figure 1-8 As shown, a multi-mode oral CBCT device is characterized by comprising a lifting base 100, a jaw support mechanism 200, an L-arm mechanism 300, a rotary driven mechanism 400 and a lateral position detection mechanism 500; the lifting base 100 is fixed on the ground to support the entire device; the jaw support mechanism 200 is located at one side of the lifting base 100, and is used to place the mandible and use the weight of the patient's head to make the device automatically fit the face, without the need for medical staff to adjust, which is convenient and fast; the L-arm mechanism 300 is fixed at the top of the lifting base 100, the rotary driven mechanism 400 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the L-arm mechanism 300, and the lateral position detection mechanism 500 is fixed at the side end of the L-arm mechanism 300.

[0035] The jaw support mechanism 200 includes a connecting elbow 210, a jaw support mechanism shell 220, an automatic angle adjustment mechanism 230, and a cheek correction mechanism 240; the connecting elbow 210 is fixed to one side of the lifting base 100, and can move up and down synchronously with the lifting base 100; a jaw support mechanism shell 220 is provided above the connecting elbow 210, and the automatic angle adjustment mechanism 230 and the cheek correction mechanism 241 are installed on both sides of the base of the jaw support mechanism shell 220, and are used to automatically adjust the cheeks to the correct position.

[0036] The automatic angle adjustment mechanism 230 includes a chin platform 232, a pressure outer cylinder 233, a telescopic rod 235 and a first slide rail 237; a tooth support 231 is fixed on the chin platform 232 for the patient to bite; a pressure outer cylinder 233 is slidably matched below the chin platform 232, and the lower end of the pressure outer cylinder 233 passes through the jaw support mechanism shell 220 and is fixed on the base of the jaw support mechanism shell 220; a first laser positioning light 234 is fixed to one side of the lower end of the pressure outer cylinder 233; a telescopic rod 235 is provided below the first laser positioning light 234, one end of the telescopic rod 235 is slidably matched with the side hole of the pressure outer cylinder 233, and a sliding block 236 is fixed to the other end of the telescopic rod 235, and the sliding block 236 is located on the first slide rail 237;

[0037] The cheek alignment mechanism 240 includes a cheek alignment rod 241, a rotating platform 242, a limiting clip 243, a reset spring 244 and a swing block 245. The cheek alignment rod 241 is symmetrically arranged outside the upper part of the jaw support mechanism housing 220, and a horizontal axis is connected to the lower part of the cheek alignment rod 241, which passes through a plurality of rotating platforms 242, and a swing block 245 is connected to the other end of the horizontal axis; the swing block 245 keeps contact with the outer edge of the sliding block 236; a plurality of rotating platforms 242 are fixed on the base of the jaw support mechanism housing 220, and a limiting clip 243 is clamped on the horizontal axis, and the limiting clip 243 is close to the rotating platform 242; a reset spring 244 is connected between the rotating platform 242 closer to the swing block 245 and the swing block 245.

[0038] The patient faces the lifting column and bites the tooth support 231 with his teeth. When the machine is installed, a certain volume of gas or liquid is filled in the pressure outer cylinder 233. When the patient's chin is placed on the chin platform 232, the chin platform 232 will be pressed down a certain distance by gravity with the help of the patient's head weight. Inside the pressure outer cylinder 233, air pressure or hydraulic pressure is transmitted, and the pressure drives the telescopic rod 235 to move outward, driving the sliding block 236 to move outward synchronously. Since the outer edge of the sliding block 236 keeps in contact with the swing block 245, the swing block 245 drives the cheek correction rod 241 to rotate, and the cheek correction rods 241 on both sides are synchronously attached to the patient's face. At this time, the reset spring sheet 244 is in a stressed state, and the first laser positioning lamp 234 emits a vertical light, shining on the middle of the patient's face. The doctor uses the position of the light to make the patient's head as centered and vertical as possible. When the internal pressure of the automatic angle adjustment mechanism 230 is rebalanced, the chin table 232 maintains a constant height. After the scan is completed, the patient's chin leaves the chin table 232. At this time, the reset spring sheet 244 pushes the swing block 245 back to its original position. The swing block 245 pushes the sliding block 236 to move linearly along the first slide rail 237 back to its original position. The telescopic rod 235 moves synchronously. The movement of the telescopic rod 235 into the pressure outer cylinder 233 will increase the internal air pressure of the pressure outer cylinder 233. Through the internal pressure transmission, the chin table 232 will be lifted to its original position by the pressure. Thus, a complete automatic adjustment of the cheek position is completed.

[0045] The radiation shielding mechanism 440 includes a fourth motor 441, a second lead screw nut 442, a second slide rail 443, a mode selection shielding plate 444, a third photoelectric switch 445, a second laser positioning light 446 and a third laser positioning light 447; the fourth motor 441 is connected to the mode selection shielding plate 444 through the second lead screw nut 442, and the mode selection shielding plate 444 is located on the second slide rail 443; a third laser positioning light 447 is provided on one side of the mode selection shielding plate 444, and a second laser positioning light 446 is provided below the fourth motor 441. The fourth motor 441 is conducive to driving the second lead screw nut 442 to move, thereby driving the mode selection shielding plate 444 to move back and forth along the second slide rail 443. The mode selection shielding plate 443 has different opening sizes according to different modes, which is conducive to selecting a suitable exposure position according to different photography modes; the second laser positioning light 446 and the third laser positioning light 447 are the same as the first laser positioning light 234, and the two cooperate to put the patient's head in the most accurate position, thereby improving the quality of the photography image.

[0046] The lateral position detection mechanism 500 includes a lateral position rod 510, a lateral position mounting platform 520, a patient head posture adjustment mechanism 530 and a second detector 540; one end of the lateral position rod 510 is fixed to one side of the L-arm frame 310, and the other end of the lateral position rod 510 is fixed to the lateral position mounting platform 520, and the head posture adjustment mechanism 530 is arranged in the middle of the lateral position mounting platform 520; a second detector 540 is arranged below one side of the lateral position mounting platform 520. The second detector 540 is conducive to converting the X-rays emitted by the patient's skull bones through the tube 430 into images to present to the doctor.

[0047] The patient head posture adjustment mechanism 530 includes a front adjustment slider 531, a first light rod 532, a front dental tray 533, a side adjustment slider 534, a second light rod 535 and a side earplug 536; the front adjustment slider 531 is slidably connected to the first light rod 532, and the front dental tray 533 is connected below the front adjustment slider 531; a side adjustment slider 534 is provided on one side of the front adjustment slider 531, the side adjustment slider 534 is slidably connected to the second light rod 535, and the side earplug 536 is connected below the side adjustment slider 534. The front adjustment slider 531 and the first light rod 532 are slidably matched, which is conducive to freely adjusting the distance between the front dental tray 533 and the oral cavity, and the side adjustment slider 534 and the second light rod 535 are slidably matched, which is conducive to freely adjusting the distance between the side earplug 536 and the ear. In addition, there are adjustment structures on the front dental tray 533 and the side earplug 536 components, which is conducive to adjusting the corresponding components to a suitable height.

[0048] After the third pulley 351 rotates 400°, the first motor 320 and the second motor 341 decelerate and reset.

[0049] Working principle: When in use, after adjusting the height position of the jaw support mechanism 200 to a suitable level, let the patient place the chin on the chin platform 232, bite the tooth support 231 with the teeth, and the cheek alignment rod is automatically close to the face through the angle automatic adjustment mechanism 230. With the help of the patient's head weight, the chin platform 232 will be pressed down a certain distance by gravity, and the air pressure or hydraulic pressure inside the pressure outer cylinder 233 drives the telescopic rod 235 to move outward, driving the sliding block 236 to move outward synchronously. The outer edge of the sliding block 236 keeps in contact with the swing block 245, so that the swing block 245 drives the cheek alignment rod 241 to rotate, and the cheek alignment rods 241 on both sides are synchronously attached to the patient's face. Then, the first laser positioning light 234, the second laser positioning light 446 and the third laser positioning light 447 work together to ensure that the patient's head is in the best position. When the pressure inside the angle automatic adjustment mechanism 230 is rebalanced, the chin platform 232 keeps the same height.

[0050] When the CT mode is in progress, the first motor 320 remains in place, the rotating mechanism 350 works, and the second motor 341 works, driving the first pulley 342, the second pulley 343, and the third pulley 351 to rotate synchronously, thereby rotating the lower tube 430 and the first detector 460. During the rotation, the patient is located directly below the rotating mechanism 350, the tube 430 continuously emits X-rays, and the first detector 460 continuously receives signals, which are converted into dental CT images after processing by the control center and presented to the patient. When the third pulley rotates 400°, the control center controls the second motor 341 to decelerate and reset according to the high and low level signals transmitted by the corresponding photoelectric switch 354 and the second photoelectric switch 355. If the control program of the control center fails, the machine can also be stopped by the rotating block and the limit block to prevent winding and further failures.

[0051] When the panoramic PAN mode is in progress: due to the irregular dental arch curve, in order to obtain a true tooth image, the first motor 320 starts working, driving the rotating mechanism 350 and the rotating driven mechanism 400 to move in a straight line. At the same time, the rotating mechanism 350 works, and the second motor 341 works, driving the first pulley 342, the second pulley 343, and the third pulley 351 to rotate synchronously, so that the lower tube and detector and other components rotate. During the rotation process, the patient is located directly below the rotating mechanism 350, the tube 430 continuously emits X-rays, and the first detector 460 continuously receives signals, which are converted into tooth CT images after processing by the control center and presented to the doctor. When the third pulley rotates 400°, the control center controls the first motor 320 and the second motor 341 to decelerate and reset according to the high and low level signals transmitted by the corresponding photoelectric switch 354 and the second photoelectric switch 355. Due to the joint action of the first motor 320 and the second motor 341, the path taken by the center of the rotating mechanism basically overlaps with the patient's dental arch curve. In this way, the patient's periodontium is always in the detection center, improving the quality of the photographic image so that the dentist can make a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

[0052] When the lateral CEPH mode is performed: the patient stands directly below the patient head posture adjustment mechanism 530, adjusts the distance and height of the front mouthpiece 533 and the side earplug 536, and then stands still. Then the second motor 341 is controlled to work, driving the entire rotating driven mechanism 400 to rotate 90° clockwise (looking from top to bottom) and then stop, and then the third motor 421 starts to work, driving the tube 430 to rotate 20° clockwise. Since the second detector 540 and the side angle of the L-arm skeleton 310 are 20°, the tube 430 and the second detector 540 are in a relative and parallel position at this time, and then the tube 430 starts to work to emit X-rays, and the second detector 540 converts the patient's skull bones into images and presents them to the doctor.

[0053] After the scan is completed, the patient's chin leaves the chin table 232. At this time, the reset spring sheet 244 pushes the swing block 245 back to its original position. The swing block 245 pushes the sliding block 236 to move linearly along the first slide rail 237 back to its original position. The telescopic rod 235 moves synchronously. The movement of the telescopic rod 235 into the pressure outer cylinder 233 will increase the internal air pressure of the pressure outer cylinder 233. Through the internal pressure transmission, the chin table 232 will be lifted to its original position by the pressure. Thus, a complete automatic adjustment of the cheek position is completed.
