Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to a state monitoring component installation device and a CT system. Background Technology

[0002] In medical equipment, such as computed tomography (CT) machines, in order to better cooperate with imaging, it is sometimes necessary to monitor some states, such as the patient's real-time state, exposure progress, and exposure prompts, etc. For this purpose, a state monitoring component is usually required. For example, Haloriel installed on the upper part of the front shell of the CT machine is such a component, which includes a 2D camera, a VPI progress bar, an atmosphere light, an exposure indicator light, and an emergency stop switch. Among them, the 2D camera is used to provide real-time images of the patient, the VPI progress bar is used to provide exposure progress prompts, the atmosphere light is used to relieve the patient's nervousness, the exposure indicator light is used for exposure prompts, and the emergency stop switch is used to cut off the system in an emergency.

[0003] During use, sometimes the Haloriel needs to be replaced on-site. Since the Haloriel is installed on the front shell of the CT machine, the following steps need to be performed when replacing the Haloriel: open the front shell → separate the Haloriel from the system connection → remove the front shell → disassemble the old Haloriel → fix the new Haloriel to the front shell → place the front shell on the system rack → connect the system connection to the Haloriel → lock the front shell. In addition, sometimes the CT system needs to be debugged and repaired. At this time, the steps to be performed include: open the front shell → separate the Haloriel from the system connection → remove the front shell → debug and repair → place the front shell on the system rack → connect the system connection to the Haloriel → lock the front shell.

[0004] In the above two processes, the front shell needs to be disassembled each time, and the two steps of "separating Haloriel from the system connection" and "connecting the system connection to Haloriel" require on-site engineers to use ladders or hospital beds and other climbing tools to operate, and the operating space is too small. In this process, it is easy to damage the cables and injure the operators. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a state monitoring component installation device on the one hand, and a CT system on the other hand, to protect system cables, facilitate replacement of Haloriel and other state monitoring components, and facilitate debugging and maintenance.

[0006] A state monitoring component installation device proposed in an embodiment of the present invention includes: a mounting base for fixedly installing on a CT system, the mounting base including a horizontal pulling and resetting component; the horizontal pulling and resetting component can be translated and converted between a first position and a second position in the horizontal direction; a connecting plate for fixedly connecting a state monitoring component; and a vertical flipping and resetting component for respectively connecting the connecting plate and the horizontal pulling and resetting component and capable of being converted between a horizontal working position and a vertical flipping position around the horizontal direction.

[0007] In one embodiment, the mounting base further includes: a fixed mounting block for fixedly installing on a CT system, and the fixed mounting block has at least one horizontal chute and a vertical wall at the end of each horizontal chute; the horizontal pulling and resetting component includes: at least one horizontal pulling and resetting part, and each horizontal pulling and resetting part includes: a horizontal slider having a stepped through hole composed of a first radially sized hole and a second radially sized hole, and the horizontal slider can slide between a first position and a second position in the horizontal chute; wherein, the first radial dimension is greater than the second radial dimension; an elastic element with a radial dimension greater than the second radial dimension and capable of being accommodated in the first radially sized hole of the horizontal slider; and a guiding and fixing part having a limiting end and a fixing end, the fixing end can pass through the stepped through hole of the horizontal slider and be fixedly connected to the vertical wall at the end of the corresponding horizontal chute, and the radial dimension of the limiting end is greater than the second radial dimension and less than the first radial dimension and can limit the elastic element in the first radially sized hole.

[0008] In one embodiment, the fixed mounting block further has a wire groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, the vertical flipping and resetting component is a damping hinge component capable of hovering at any angle between a horizontal working position and a vertical flipping position around the horizontal direction; or, the vertical flipping and resetting component includes: a torque hinge component capable of being converted between a horizontal working position and a vertical flipping position around the horizontal direction and a hook component for holding the state monitoring component in the horizontal working position.

[0010] In one embodiment, the at least one horizontal chute is two horizontal chutes; the at least one horizontal pulling and resetting part is: two horizontal pulling and resetting parts; the damping hinge component includes two damping hinges, and each damping hinge is respectively connected to the connecting plate and a horizontal pulling and resetting part; or the torque hinge component includes two torque hinges, and each torque hinge is respectively connected to the connecting plate and a horizontal pulling and resetting part.

[0011] In one embodiment, it further includes: a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element; wherein, the first magnetic element is fixedly installed on the connecting plate; the second magnetic element is fixedly installed on the mounting base at a position corresponding to the first magnetic element, and the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element can be tightly attracted when the vertical flipping and resetting assembly is in the horizontal working position.

[0012] In one embodiment, the mounting base is fixedly installed on the front shell cover plate bracket of the CT system.

[0013] A CT system proposed in an embodiment of the present invention includes the state monitoring element installation device in any of the above embodiments.

[0014] As can be seen from the above solution, since the state monitoring element is not directly installed on the front shell of the CT system in the embodiment of the present invention, but a state monitoring element installation device is provided. The installation device is fixed on the CT system through the mounting base, connected to the state monitoring element through the connecting plate, and at the same time, a vertical flipping and resetting component and a horizontal pulling and resetting component located on the mounting base realize the connection with two degrees of freedom of horizontal movement and vertical flipping between the two.

[0025] Detailed implementation manners

[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to protect the system cables, facilitate the replacement of the state monitoring element, and facilitate debugging and maintenance, it is considered not to directly mount the state monitoring element on the front shell of the CT system, but to provide a mounting device. The mounting device may include two connecting parts. One connecting part is used to be fixed on the CT system, and the other connecting part is used to connect with the state monitoring element. Then, a connection with two degrees of freedom of horizontal movement and vertical flipping can be realized between the two through a horizontal pulling and resetting component and a vertical flipping and resetting component. In this way, when it is necessary to replace the state monitoring element, there is no need to open the front cover, and the state monitoring element can be conveniently replaced on-site directly through horizontal movement and vertical flipping; when it is necessary to debug and maintain, the cables connected to the state monitoring element can be conveniently and quickly separated from the outside directly through horizontal movement and vertical flipping, ensuring the safety of the cables.

[0027] Further, considering the position of the corresponding installation status monitoring component Haloriel, when Haloriel is not installed, a front shell cover plate needs to be installed, and this front shell cover plate is installed on the front shell cover plate bracket fixed to the CT gantry. Therefore, in order to be compatible with the existing CT system, in this embodiment, when the installation device is fixed on the CT system, the front shell cover plate bracket can be directly used to fix the installation device on the front shell cover plate bracket. Of course, in practical applications, it can also be fixed on other components of the CT system, and no limitation is imposed here.

[0028] In addition, in order to better position the two connecting components of the installation device, a magnetic element can be correspondingly arranged on each of the two connecting components, and the positioning of the two is achieved through the suction force of the two magnetic elements, and further helps to maintain the working position between the two.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following examples are given to further elaborate on the present invention in detail.

[0030] Figures 1 to 5 It is an exemplary structural diagram of a status monitoring component installation device in an embodiment of the present invention. Among them, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram when the status monitoring component is in the working position, Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram when the status monitoring component is in the vertically flipped position, Figure 3 It is an exploded view of the installation device, Figure 4 It is Figure 3 An exploded view of the installation base in the shown installation device. Figure 5 It is Figure 4 A sectional view of the assembly relationship of the shown horizontal pulling and resetting component. In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the horizontal and vertical directions mentioned in the following description are both based on the working position direction of the status monitoring component, that is, Figure 1 The orientation shown is described. Of course, the horizontal direction can also be called the first direction, and the vertical direction can be called the second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0031] Combined with Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the status monitoring component installation device in the embodiment of the present invention may include: an installation base 100, a connecting plate 200, a vertical flipping and resetting assembly 300, and a magnetic positioning component 400.

[0032] Among them, the installation base 100 is used to be fixedly installed on the CT system. As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in this embodiment, the installation base 100 may include a fixed installation block 110 and a horizontal pulling and resetting assembly. In this embodiment, the case where the horizontal pulling and resetting assembly includes two horizontal pulling and resetting components 120 is taken as an example. In practical applications, it may also include one or more than two.

[0033] As Figure 4 shown, the fixed mounting block 110 has at least one horizontal sliding groove 111 and a vertical wall 112 at the end of each horizontal sliding groove 111. In this embodiment, the case where there are two horizontal sliding grooves 111 is taken as an example. In practical applications, it can also be one or more than two. In addition, in this embodiment, the fixed mounting block 110 further has a wire routing groove 113. The fixed mounting block 110 is used for fixed mounting on a CT system. For example, the fixed mounting block 110 may have a mounting hole 114, and a fastener can be used to fix the fixed mounting block 110 on the front shell cover bracket (not shown in the figure) of the CT system through the mounting hole 114.

[0034] Each horizontal pulling and resetting component 120 can be translated and converted between a first position and a second position in the horizontal direction. Among them, the first position (also called the reset position) corresponds to the working position of the state monitoring element, and the second position corresponds to the vertical flipping position of the state monitoring element. As Figure 4 shown, in this embodiment, each horizontal pulling and resetting component 120 may include a horizontal slider 121, an elastic element 122, and a guiding and fixing member 123.

[0035] As Figure 5 shown, the horizontal slider 121 has a stepped through hole composed of a first radially sized hole 1211 and a second radially sized hole 1212, wherein the first radial dimension is greater than the second radial dimension; and the horizontal slider 121 can slide between the first position and the second position in the horizontal sliding groove 111. When specifically implemented, if the hole is a circular hole, the radial dimension can be the diameter or radius; if the hole is a regular polygon hole, the radial dimension can be the diameter or radius of the inscribed circle or circumscribed circle; if the hole is a rectangular hole or other irregularly shaped holes, the radial dimension can be the corresponding dimension description.

[0036] The radial dimension of the elastic element 122 is greater than the second radial dimension and can be accommodated in the first radially sized hole 1211 of the horizontal slider 121.

[0037] The guiding and fixing member 123 has a limiting end 1231 and a fixing end 1232. The fixing end 1232 can pass through the stepped through hole of the horizontal slider 121 and be fixedly connected to the vertical wall 112 at the end of the corresponding horizontal sliding groove 111. The radial dimension of the limiting end 1231 is greater than the second radial dimension and less than the first radial dimension, and can limit the elastic element 122 in the first radially sized hole 1211. The guiding and fixing member 123 simultaneously positions the horizontal slider 121 in the horizontal direction. When specifically implemented, the guiding and fixing member 123 can be a bolt or a screw or a bolt-like member with only a threaded end, or other elements that can achieve the above functions.

[0038] The connecting plate 200 is used to fixedly connect the status monitoring component 500. In this embodiment, the status monitoring component 500 is taken as an example of Haloriel on the CT system.

[0039] The vertical flipping and resetting assembly 300 is used to connect the connecting plate 200 and the horizontal pulling and resetting assembly respectively, and can be converted between a horizontal working position and a vertical flipping position around the horizontal direction. Among them, the horizontal working position corresponds to the working position of the status monitoring assembly, and the vertical flipping position corresponds to the vertical flipping position of the status monitoring assembly.

[0040] Specifically, the vertical flipping and resetting assembly 300 can have various specific implementation forms. For example, the form of a hinge assembly + a hook assembly can be adopted. At this time, the hinge assembly can be any hinge assembly such as a torque hinge assembly, etc., which can realize the conversion between the horizontal working position and the vertical flipping position around the horizontal direction. For the case where there are two horizontal pulling and resetting components 120, the torque hinge assembly can also be two torque hinges. The hook assembly is used to hold the status monitoring assembly in the horizontal working position. The installation position of the hook assembly can be determined according to the actual situation. For example, one end is fixed on the fixed installation 110, and the other end is fixed on the connecting plate 200 or the hinge assembly. Or, the vertical flipping and resetting assembly 300 can also adopt the form of a damping hinge. In this embodiment, the vertical flipping and resetting assembly 300 adopting the form of a damping hinge is taken as an example for description. As Figure 3 shown, the vertical flipping and resetting assembly 300 is a damping hinge assembly, which can realize hovering at any angle between the horizontal working position and the vertical flipping position around the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the damping hinge assembly includes two damping hinges 310, and each damping hinge 310 is respectively connected to the connecting plate 200 and a horizontal pulling and resetting component 120. Specifically, when connecting, there can be various connection methods. For example, the screw members 600, 700, 800, etc. shown in Figure 3 can be used for fastening connection.

[0041] The magnetic positioning component 400 includes: a first magnetic element 410 and a second magnetic element 420. Among them, the first magnetic element 410 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 200, and the second magnetic element 420 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 100 at a position corresponding to the first magnetic element 410. Specifically, the second magnetic element 420 is fixedly installed on the fixed mounting block 110. Specifically, when connecting, there can be various connection methods. For example, the screw member 900 shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 is used for fastening connection. The first magnetic element 410 and the second magnetic element 420 can be closely attracted when the vertical flipping and resetting assembly 300 is in the horizontal working position. Specifically, the first magnetic element 410 and the second magnetic element 420 can be magnet parts with different polarities; or one can be a magnet part and the other can be an iron part.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the status monitoring element Haloriel is in the working position, as shown in Figure 1 , the vertical flip reset assembly 300 is in the non-vertical flip reset position, that is, the horizontal working position. When it is necessary to separate the connection between Haloriel and the system and to connect the system connection to Haloriel well, as shown in Figure 2 , first, pull Haloriel together with the horizontal pulling and reset component 120 on the mounting base 100 horizontally away from the fixed mounting block 110, so that the horizontal slider 121 is in the second position. At this time, due to the limiting effect of the guiding and fixing part 123 inside the horizontal pulling and reset component 120, the elastic element 122 is compressed. Then, the vertical flip reset assembly 300 flips downward and overcomes the magnetic force of the magnetic positioning component 400, so that Haloriel is in the vertical flip position. There is a large operating space between Haloriel and the mounting base 100, which is convenient for directly disassembling and assembling Haloriel outside the front shell of the CT system without removing the front shell of the CT system. When it is necessary to reset Haloriel to the working state, first flip the vertical flip reset assembly 300 upward to the horizontal working position. At this time, under the elastic force of the elastic element 122 inside the horizontal pulling and reset component 120 and the magnetic force of the magnetic positioning component 400, the horizontal pulling and reset component 120 is in the reset state, the horizontal slider 121 returns to the first position, and Haloriel returns to the working position.

[0043] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a CT system, which may include the status monitoring element installation device in any of the above embodiments.

[0044] Figure 6 and Figure 7 are schematic diagrams after installing the status monitoring element on the CT system by using the above status monitoring element installation device in the embodiment of the present invention. Among them, Figure 6 is a schematic diagram when the status monitoring element is in the working position, Figure 7 is a schematic diagram when the status monitoring element is in the vertical flip position. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The right side in is a partial enlarged view of the status monitoring element installation position area shown by the left circle A. As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in this embodiment, taking the case where the status monitoring element installation device is fixed on the front shell cover bracket (not shown in the figure) of the CT system as an example, that is, it is still installed on the upper part of the CT system.

[0045] As can be seen from the above solution, in the embodiments of the present invention, the state monitoring element is not directly installed on the front shell of the CT system. Instead, a state monitoring element installation device is provided. The installation device is fixed to the CT system through a mounting base, and is connected to the state monitoring element through a connecting plate. At the same time, a vertical flipping and resetting component and a horizontal pulling and resetting component located on the mounting base are used to achieve a connection with two degrees of freedom of horizontal movement and vertical flipping between the two. In this way, when the state monitoring element needs to be replaced, there is no need to open the front shell, and the state monitoring element can be conveniently replaced on-site through horizontal movement and vertical flipping; when debugging and maintenance are required, the cables connected to the state monitoring element can be quickly separated from the outside conveniently through horizontal movement and vertical flipping, ensuring the safety of the cables.

[0046] In addition, by respectively providing a magnetic element on the mounting base and the connecting plate, the positioning of the two is achieved through the suction force of the two magnetic elements, and further helps to maintain the working position between the two.

[0047] Moreover, by fixing the state monitoring element installation device to the existing front shell cover bracket of the CT system, better compatibility with the existing CT system can be achieved.

[0048] In addition, by adopting the form of a common hinge assembly + hook assembly or directly adopting the form of a damping hinge assembly, the requirements of the vertical flipping and resetting component can be conveniently achieved.

[0049] Furthermore, by using a slider, an elastic element and a guiding and fixing element to construct the horizontal pulling and resetting component, the requirements of the horizontal pulling and resetting component can be conveniently achieved.

[0050] In summary, the state monitoring element installation device in the embodiments of the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and is convenient to operate. There is no need to disassemble and assemble the front shell of the CT system, and there is a large operating space for disassembling and assembling the system cables.

[0051] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
