Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent oral CT, and in particular to an intelligent oral CT insulation interlocking device. Background Art
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, the demand for oral health is becoming increasingly urgent. High-tech treatments such as dental implants are developing rapidly in my country and around the world, and this is accompanied by the rapid development of oral CT. Currently, the most comprehensive oral CTs on the market integrate CBCT, panoramic, and cranial functions, enabling the acquisition of full-mouth, half-mouth, and cranial X-rays, bringing great convenience to users. While powerful, oral CT scans also have a long acquisition time, typically 5 to 20 seconds, and a high dose. Patients are exposed to significant X-ray radiation, making them particularly unsuitable for children and adolescents in their growth spurts.
[0003] Conventional dental X-ray machines remain a primary diagnostic tool in dental care. They clearly demonstrate internal dental lesions, are easy to operate, and feature a short exposure time of only approximately 0.3 seconds, resulting in a low absorbed dose for the patient. However, they only provide two-dimensional analysis and diagnosis, making them inadequate for rapidly evolving treatment options and dental implants. Consequently, most dental clinics or hospitals require both an oral CT scan and a dental X-ray machine. However, X-ray systems require dedicated protective rooms, and both cannot be housed in the same room. Therefore, purchasing both an oral CT scan and a dental X-ray machine requires two dedicated protective rooms, significantly increasing costs for the user and making the construction of a dental clinic or hospital more complex.
[0004] A four-in-one intelligent oral CT monitor, combining CBCT, panoramic, cephalometric, and dental radiography, is particularly valuable. It combines all the functions of an oral CT with those of a dental X-ray, significantly reducing user costs. Once integrated, the oral CT and dental X-ray systems must operate independently, ensuring that one end of the device is short-circuited and disconnected to prevent simultaneous activation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In response to the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent oral CT insulation interlocking device, which integrates the functions of CT and dental X-ray machines while connecting the power cords of both to the insulation interlocking assembly at the same time, ensuring that one of the devices is in a short-circuit state when enabled.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention solves the problem that after CT and dental X-ray machines are integrated into one device, they need to be used independently to avoid mutual interference and increase radiation to the patient through the following technical solutions.

[0041] Example:
[0042] See also Figure 1-8 , an intelligent oral CT insulation interlocking device, comprising:
[0043] The support base 1 is horizontally arranged on the bottom surface,
[0044] A column 2 vertically mounted on the support base 1 and capable of being raised and lowered;
[0045] A support platform 3 connected to the top of the column 2;
[0046] A CT detection assembly 5 is installed on the front side of the support platform 3, and an X-ray assembly 7 is connected to the side of the support platform 3 through a cantilever 6;
[0047] The wires of the X-ray assembly 7 pass through the middle of the cantilever 6 and enter the support table 3. The wires of the CT detection assembly 5 are connected in parallel with the wires of the X-ray assembly 7 in the support table 3.
[0048] An insulation interlocking assembly 8 is installed in the support platform 3. The insulation interlocking assembly 8 is connected to the wires of the CT detection assembly 5 and the wires of the X-ray assembly 7 respectively, and only controls one set of wires to be unobstructed.
[0049] Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0050] The intelligent oral CT device in this application integrates CBCT, panoramic, and cranial functions, and can realize full-mouth, half-mouth, and cranial X-ray imaging functions. It mainly includes a CT detection component 5 and an X-ray component 7, which enables the CT device and X-ray scanning to be in the same room.
[0051] In the present application, the base 1 is connected to the column 2 to support the support platform 3, an insulating interlocking assembly 8 is installed in the support platform 3, a CT detection assembly 5 is installed at the front end of the support platform 3, and an X-ray assembly 7 is connected to the side through a cantilever 6. The power line of the X-ray assembly 7 passes through the cantilever 6 into the support platform 3 and is connected to the insulating interlocking assembly 8. The power line of the CT detection assembly 5 is connected to the insulating interlocking assembly 8 in the support platform 3. Both power lines are in an open circuit state when connected to the insulating interlocking assembly 8. The two power lines are independent of each other, but only a single power line path is realized under the control of the insulating interlocking assembly 8. This prevents the CT detection assembly 5 and the X-ray assembly 7 from working at the same time.
[0052] Specifically, the insulating interlocking assembly 8 includes a base 81, an upper cover 82, a passage button 83, a switch assembly 84, and an interlocking mechanism 85; the base 81 is fixed on the support table 3 for connecting the power cord of the X-ray assembly 7 and the power cord of the X-ray assembly 7, the passage button 83 is installed on the upper cover 82, and the interlocking mechanism 85 is arranged between the two switch assemblies 84. After the upper cover 82 is connected to the base 81, the interlocking mechanism 85 is controlled by the passage button 83 to allow the power cord in one of the switch assemblies 84 to pass, and to disconnect and block the other switch assembly 84, thereby completing the startup of the CT detection assembly 5 or the X-ray assembly 7.
[0053] It should be noted that two wiring holes 81-1 are provided at the upper and lower corners of the base 81, respectively. A slot 81-2 is provided on the inner side of the base 81, surrounding the wiring holes 81-1. Two switch assemblies 84 are located at opposite corners of the inner end of the base 81. These two switch assemblies 84 are connected to the two power cords, respectively. An interlock mechanism 85, connected to the access button 83, is located in the middle of the base 81 and can selectively contact one of the switch assemblies 84 to control access.
[0054] The switch assembly 84 is a copper conductive device, which consists of a threaded copper tube 84-1, a washer 84-2, a first copper bar 84-3, a second copper bar 84-4, etc. The washer 84-2 is made of copper material and is sleeved inside the threaded copper tube 84-1. The threaded copper tube 84-1 and the washer 84-2 are installed together in the card slot 81-2. The threaded copper tube 84-1 is open to the wiring hole 81-1 and can be threadedly connected to the outer power cord connector. The washer 84-2 supports and fixes the threaded copper tube 84-1 and conducts electricity. The first copper bar 84-3 is fixed on the outer threaded copper tube 84-1, and the second copper bar 84-4 is fixed on the inner washer 84-2. When the first copper bar 84-3 and the second copper bar 84-4 are connected, the power line is in a pass state.
[0055] The first copper bar 84-3 is L-shaped and approaches the second copper bar 84-4. The end of the first copper bar 84-3 is pivoted to connect to a copper plate 85-4. The copper plate 85-4 acts as a lever on the first copper bar 84-3. When the copper plate 85-4 is tilted, it engages the second copper bar 84-4, thereby connecting the first and second copper bars 84-3 and 84-4. However, the tilt of the copper plate 85-4 is controlled by an interlocking mechanism 85 with the access button 83. Furthermore, the two switch assemblies 84 are mounted at opposite corners of the base 81 and are arranged symmetrically. Therefore, when the copper plate 85-4 tilts, it will move closer to one second copper bar 84-4 and away from the other, ensuring unobstructed access to a single power line.
[0056] This application employs a structure similar to a power switch, but in practice, one of the power lines is disconnected to prevent the CT detector assembly 5 and the X-ray assembly 7 from operating simultaneously. Therefore, the two power lines are positioned close together and selectively connected under the control of an interlock mechanism 85.
[0057] It should be noted that the interlocking mechanism 85 is an insulating structure, which is composed of an insulating frame 85-1, an arc plate 85-2, a clamping member 85-3, a copper plate 85-4, an elastic member 85-5, a stopper 85-6, etc. The insulating frame 85-1 is rotated to install the middle part of the base 81, and the insulating frame 85-1 lifts the arc plate 85-2 from the middle and rotates it to cooperate. The concave surface of the arc plate 85-2 faces upward, and the passage button 83 is located above the middle part of the arc plate 85-2, and presses against the arc plate 85-2 in the inclined reverse direction to make it tilt to one side. Two copper plates 85-4 are installed at the centrally symmetrical positions on the side connections of the curved plate 85-2. The copper plates 85-4 tilt synchronously with the curved plate 85-2. The two copper plates 85-4 are respectively arranged on the upper sides of the two corresponding second copper bars 84-4. At the same time, the copper plates 85-4 are rotated and connected to the first copper bar 84-3. During the tilting process, one of the copper plates 85-4 will contact the second copper bar 84-4 on the same side, allowing the first copper bar 84-3 to be connected to the second copper bar 84-4, thereby achieving a path for one of the wires and a disconnection of the other.
[0058] In addition, it should be noted that stopper 85-6 is slidably mounted in the middle slot of insulating frame 85-1 via elastic member 85-5. Each time insulating frame 85-1 tilts, it compresses elastic member 85-5, causing stopper 85-6 to move toward the power supply disconnector. This prevents arcing between copper plate 85-4 and second copper busbar 84-4 during disconnection, thus preventing air conductors from forming a path.
[0059] The horizontal distance between the two second copper bars 84-4 is greater than the horizontal end distance of the blocker 85-6, so the blocker 85-6 only blocks one second copper bar 84-4, and the blocker 85-6 is at the end of the slide groove each time it moves, so the blocker 85-6 only blocks one second copper bar 84-4.
[0060] The insulation interlock assembly 8 provided in the present invention is used to switch between the CT detector assembly 5 and the X-ray assembly 7. During operation, one of the components is always kept de-energized, preventing simultaneous activation of both devices. Furthermore, a barrier 85-6 is installed between the devices to prevent arcing caused by changes in the ambient air or voltage after the switch is disconnected, thereby enhancing the protection of the CT detector assembly 5 and the X-ray assembly 7.
[0061] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are intended only as examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. The objectives of the present invention have been fully and effectively achieved. The functional and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and illustrated in the embodiments. Any variations or modifications may be made to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the principles described.
