[0037] Example

[0038] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an upright spinal radiography assistive device includes a base 1, a lifting frame, a pelvic fixation frame, a tilting frame, a controller, and a remote control 27. The pelvic fixation frame is used to stabilize the patient's pelvic position, facilitating posterior extension or anterior flexion of the spine. The tilting frame drives the patient's upper body to extend backward and provides support, allowing the patient to easily maintain a hyperextended position, facilitating radiography by medical personnel. Both the pelvic fixation frame and the tilting frame are mounted on the lifting frame and are height-adjustable to accommodate patients of different heights.

[0039] The base 1 is horizontally positioned, serving as a carrier. The lifting frame includes a lifting plate 3 and several first lifting rods 4. The lifting plate 3 is horizontally positioned and connected to the top surface of the base 1 via the several first lifting rods 4. In this embodiment, there are four first lifting rods 4. The lifting plate 3 has a standing groove 5 for the lower limbs to enter, avoiding obstruction of the patient's lower limbs, facilitating the patient to stand on the base 1 and be restrained by the pelvic fixation frame. The corners of the standing groove 5 are all rounded to avoid sharp edges from injuring the patient.

[0040] The pelvic fixation frame includes two symmetrically arranged fixation components, each comprising an arc-shaped splint 6, a connecting plate 8, and a sliding plate 9. The connecting plate 8 is vertically positioned, with its upper and lower ends respectively fixed to the arc-shaped splint 6 and the sliding plate 9. The two sliding plates 9 of the two fixation components are located on the left and right sides of the standing groove 5 and are slidably connected to the lifting plate 3 in the left-right direction. The sliding plates 9 are equipped with locking screws 11 for securing them to the lifting plate 3. The sliding plates 9 are slidably connected to the lifting plate 3 via two inverted T-shaped sliders 10, with the locking screws 11 located between the two inverted T-shaped sliders 10. The lifting plate 3 has grooves corresponding to the inverted T-shaped sliders 10, allowing the sliding plate 9 to slide and be fixed relative to these grooves. This makes the distance between the two arc-shaped splints 6 adjustable, facilitating patient clamping and fixation, and is applicable to patients of different body types, exhibiting good versatility. The two arc-shaped splints 6 of the two fixation components are arranged opposite each other, with a buffer pad 7 on the inner side of each arc-shaped splint 6 to improve patient comfort when fixed to the arc-shaped splint 6. In this embodiment, the cushioning pad 7 is an air cushion with an air nozzle, which can be adjusted in size according to different patients, making it convenient and practical.

[0041] The tilting frame includes an upright plate 12, a movable plate 13, and a geared motor 14 with a self-locking function. The upright plate 12 is vertically mounted on the rear side of the lifting plate 3. The movable plate 13 is hinged to the upright plate 12 via a rotating shaft 15. The rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the geared motor 14, which is also fixedly connected to the upright plate 12. The geared motor 14 drives the movable plate 13 to tilt back and forth. Two first pull rings 16 are spaced apart on the upper front side of the movable plate 13. The movable plate 13 has two slots spaced apart, arranged from top to bottom. The first pull rings 16 are movably passed through the slots via screws 18 and are threadedly connected to locking nuts 17. This arrangement allows the position of the first pull rings 16 on the movable plate 13 to be adjustable. When the patient stretches their spine backward, they extend their hands upward and grasp the two first pull rings 16 respectively. When the movable plate 13 tilts backward under the drive of the geared motor 14, the patient tilts along with the movable plate 13, placing the spine in a hyperextended position without the need for additional restraint devices. The position of the first pull ring 16 on the movable plate 13 is adjustable, making it suitable for patients of different heights and arm lengths.

[0042] The movable plate 13 of this invention can be flipped back and forth under the drive of the geared motor 14, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of the tilt angle of the movable plate 13 and reducing the workload of medical staff. Furthermore, this invention can be adjusted while carrying a patient, maximizing the stretching of the patient's spine and ensuring the patient is in a hyperextended position, thus improving the accuracy of X-ray examinations. The flipping frame has a folding function; in standby mode, the movable plate 13 can be rotated backward and downward to be parallel to the upright plate 12, reducing space occupation and facilitating storage.

[0043] In addition, two foot restraint straps 2 are spaced apart on the top surface of the base 1 to reinforce the patient's feet and improve stability. Two second lifting rods 19 are embedded in the base 1 at intervals. The two second lifting rods 19 are vertically positioned at the front of the lifting frame, and a second pull ring 20 is located at the top of each second lifting rod 19. When the patient flexes their spine forward, they grasp the two second pull rings 20 with both hands, ensuring the spine is stably in a hyperflexed position. The second lifting rod 19 is located at the bottom of the second pull ring 20, allowing for height adjustment to accommodate patients of different heights. Both the first lifting rod 4 and the second lifting rod 19 are electrically operated and connected to the controller. The first lifting rod 4 and the second lifting rod 19 are controlled by the controller and the remote control 27. The first lifting rod 4 and the second lifting rod 19 can be controlled via the remote control 27, offering advantages such as simple structure, ease of operation, and high convenience. The remote control 27 is equipped with a forward flip button, a backward flip button, a first up button, a first down button, a second up button, a second down button, and a stop button. When the forward flip button is triggered, the geared motor 14 drives the movable plate 13 to flip forward; when the backward flip button is triggered, the geared motor 14 drives the movable plate 13 to flip backward. When the first up button is triggered, the first lifting rod 4 rises; when the first down button is triggered, the first lifting rod 4 falls. When the second up button is triggered, the second lifting rod 19 rises; when the second down button is triggered, the second lifting rod 19 falls. When the stop button is triggered, the current operation stops.

[0044] The controller is housed within the base 1 and electrically connected to the geared motor 14. The controller is also wirelessly connected to the remote controller 27. The controller includes a control module 21, a power module 22, a wireless communication module 23, a motor drive module 24, a first push rod drive module 25, and a second push rod drive module 26. The power module 22, wireless communication module 23, motor drive module 24, first push rod drive module 25, and second push rod drive module 26 are all electrically connected to the control module 21. The motor drive module 24 is electrically connected to the geared motor 14, the first push rod drive module 25 is electrically connected to the first lifting rod 4, the second push rod drive module 26 is electrically connected to the second lifting rod 19, and the wireless communication module 23 is wirelessly connected to the remote controller 27. In this embodiment, the geared motor 14 is a stepper motor, the control module 21 is a microcontroller module (STC89C52), and the wireless communication module 23 is a Bluetooth module.

[0045] In another embodiment, an angle sensor is provided on the rotation axis 15, and the controller also includes an alarm module. Both the angle sensor and the alarm module are electrically connected to the control module 21. The angle sensor is used to monitor the flip angle of the movable plate 13. When the flip angle is too large, the control module 21 controls the alarm module to perform an alarm action to warn medical staff and patients, thus preventing the flip angle from being too large and causing harm to the patient.

[0046] This invention is used to assist patients in maintaining an upright position for spinal radiography, which can bring great convenience to medical staff and patients, improve the success rate of radiography, and increase the work efficiency of medical staff.
