Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of self-locking devices, and in particular to a pedal self-locking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a commonly used clinical imaging device in nuclear medicine. It can be used to assess the function of organs such as the thyroid, kidneys, heart, brain, and lungs, as well as to diagnose related diseases. It also plays a significant role in the clinical diagnosis and staging of various malignant tumors. Compared to traditional gamma cameras, SPECT not only reveals the function and morphology of organs and tissues, allowing for a three-dimensional observation of changes in organs and diseases, but also displays this information through tomographic images in different directions.

[0003] When a SPECT device scans different organs, different types of collimators are needed. Collimators are generally made of lead or aluminum alloy. Therefore, the weight of a collimator is between 35kg and 135kg. It is heavy and difficult to lift and replace manually. Therefore, a collimator cart is needed to temporarily store, transport and replace the collimator. The collimator cart is usually placed next to the SPECT device to facilitate the replacement of the collimator. Figure 1 As shown, a probe 02 is mounted on a SPECT device 01, and a collimator 03 is installed in the position corresponding to the probe 02. A collimator cart 04 is placed next to the collimator 03 on the SPECT device 01. When collimator 03 is being replaced, collimator cart 04 must be fixed to one side of the SPECT device 01 and prevented from moving. This is achieved by a fixing and limiting mechanism on the ground and a pedal-operated self-locking mechanism on collimator cart 04. In the prior art, locking and unlocking the self-locking mechanism requires different drive structures, resulting in a complex structure and manual operation, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0086] The invention discloses a pedal self-locking mechanism. The locking and unlocking of the mechanism need to be driven by the same structural member of the pedal. The driving structure is simpler, manual operation is not required, the operation is simple, and the use is convenient.

[0087] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0088] Reference Figures 2 to 27 The pedal self-locking mechanism of the present invention includes a pedal fixing seat 1, a rod fixing seat 8, a pedal rod 4 and a locking rod 3. The pedal fixing seat 1 is used to connect to the frame of the collimator vehicle 04. The rod fixing seat 8 is fixedly connected to the pedal fixing seat 1. The pedal rod 4 is slidably connected to the pedal fixing seat 1 and the rod fixing seat 8, and an unlocking rod 12 is connected to the pedal rod 4. The locking rod 3 is slidably connected in the pedal fixing seat 1 and the rod fixing seat 8, and the locking rod 3 is connected to the pedal rod 4. A limited lock rod 7 is provided on the locking rod 3, and the limited lock rod 7 is slidably set on the rod fixing seat 8, so that the limited lock rod 7 switches between different positions on the rod fixing seat 8, thereby realizing the switching of the limited lock rod 7 between the locked and unlocked positions of the rod fixing seat 8. The driving end of the unlocking rod 12 is correspondingly arranged to the end of the limited lock rod 7. When the driving end of the unlocking rod 12 drives the limited lock rod 7, the limited lock rod 7 switches from the locked position of the rod fixing seat 8 to the unlocked position.

[0089] The end of the pedal rod 4 away from the locking rod 3 is used for driving by the user applying pedal force.

[0090] The pedal self-locking mechanism of the present invention includes a pedal fixing seat 1, a rod fixing seat 8, a pedal rod 4 and a locking rod 3. When the pedal rod 4 is pressed down by the pedal force, the limit lock rod 7 slides to the locking position of the rod fixing seat 8. At this time, the locking rod 3 falls down under the push of the pedal rod 4 and is locked in the fixing device on the ground. When unlocking is required, the pedal rod 4 is stepped on again, and the pedal rod 4 on the pedal rod 4 pushes the unlocking rod 12 to move. The unlocking rod 12 pushes the limit lock rod 7 out of the locked position, causing the limit lock rod 7 to slide from the locked position to the unlocked position. At the same time, the locking rod 3 is retracted, causing the locking rod 3 to be separated from the fixing device on the ground. The pedal self-locking mechanism is located at the right rear side of the collimator cart. After reaching the collimator replacement position, it can be locked by stepping on it. After completing the collimator replacement, it is unlocked by stepping on it and pushed away from the collimator cart. The pedal self-locking mechanism of the present invention uses the pedal rod 4 to achieve locking. The locking rod 3 is stepped down and locked in the ground fixing device to achieve the positioning and fixation of the collimator cart 04. When unlocking is required, the same position is stepped on by the foot, that is, the locking rod 3 is raised to unlock the collimator cart 04. The locking and unlocking of the self-locking mechanism require the same driving structure, namely the pedal rod drive. Compared with the prior art that uses a different structure for driving locking and unlocking, the driving structure is simpler, effectively avoiding incorrect operation, and does not require manual operation, so the operation is simple and easy to use.

[0091] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the position-limiting lock rod 7 includes a cross-arranged locking rod 702 and a position-limiting rod 701. The position-limiting rod 701 is slidably connected to the locking rod 702. A first spring 704 is sleeved on the position-limiting rod 701. The first spring 704 is sleeved on the side of the position-limiting rod 701 located on the locking rod 702. Specifically, the first spring 704 is positioned away from the locking rod 702 in the locking position, thereby facilitating the first spring 704 to push the locking rod 702 to the locked position. The ends of the locking rod 702 and the position-limiting rod 701 extend beyond the locking rod 3. The locking rod 702 is provided with a sliding connection hole 7021, into which the position-limiting rod 701 is slidably connected. The position-limiting rod 701 is used to limit the position of the locking rod 702 to prevent it from sliding out. In one embodiment, the limiting rod 701 is a screw rod, and the tail end of the limiting rod 701 is connected to a nut to facilitate the connection between the limiting rod 701 and the locking rod 702. Preferably, the locking rod 702 and the limiting rod 701 are arranged perpendicularly and crosswise. The two ends of the locking rod 702 are connected to the rotating bearing 703.

[0092] In order to facilitate installation, the rod fixing seat 8 includes a connecting plate 801 and a connecting body 802 connected together, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, the connecting body 802 is provided with a first through-hole 803 for the locking rod 3 to pass through, and the locking rod 3 is slidably connected within the first through-hole 803. A first limiting sliding hole 805 and a second limiting sliding hole 804 are provided on the side wall of the first through-hole 803. There are two first limiting sliding holes 805, which are 180° apart and correspondingly provided on the side wall of the first through-hole 803. There are two second limiting sliding holes 804, which are correspondingly provided on the side wall of the first through-hole 803. The end of the locking rod 702 is inserted into the first limiting sliding hole 805, and the end of the limiting rod 701 is inserted into the second limiting sliding hole 804. The end of the locking rod 702 extends out of the first limiting sliding hole 805, and the portion of the extended end corresponding to the unlocking rod 12 is mounted with a rotating bearing 703. The connecting plate 801 is provided with a first connecting hole 806, and the rod fixing seat 8 is connected to the pedal fixing seat 1 through a connecting piece connected in the first connecting hole 806, wherein the connecting piece here can be a bolt. In order to ensure the reliability of the connection, Figure 14 As shown, four first connection holes 806 are provided, and the four first connection holes 806 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting body 802.

[0093] In order to ensure the smooth sliding of the locking rod 3, the length of the second limiting sliding hole 804 is set along the sliding direction of the locking rod 3, leaving space for the locking rod 3 to slide. Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the L-shaped through hole includes a first end through hole and a second end through hole that are interconnected. The length of the first end through hole is arranged along the sliding direction of the locking rod 3, that is, the first end through hole is arranged parallel to the second limiting sliding hole 804, and the length of the second end through hole is arranged perpendicular to the sliding direction of the locking rod 3. The position of the hole end of the second end through hole away from the first end through hole corresponds to the locked position when the locking rod 702 slides, and the position of the hole end of the first end through hole away from the second end through hole corresponds to the unlocked position when the locking rod 702 slides. It can be understood that the first end through hole and the second limiting sliding hole 804 have the same length, and the starting and ending positions are set to correspond, that is, the starting and ending heights are set to correspond, thereby facilitating the sliding of the limiting locking rod 7.

[0094] The pedal fixing seat 1 includes a connecting main plate 101, a first supporting plate 102 and a second supporting plate 103. Figures 16 to 18As shown, the first support plate 102 and the second support plate 103 are spaced apart and arranged on the same side of the connecting main plate 101. The rod fixing seat 8 is arranged between the first support plate 102 and the second support plate 103, and the rod fixing seat 8 is connected to the connecting main plate 101. In order to facilitate connection, a second connecting hole 108 is provided on the connecting main plate 101. The second connecting hole 108 is provided corresponding to the first connecting hole 806. The second connecting hole 108 is a threaded hole, and the first connecting hole 806 is a smooth hole. The rod fixing seat 8 is connected to the pedal fixing seat 1 by bolts connected in the first connecting hole 806 and the second connecting hole 108. In order to facilitate connection to the frame of the collimator vehicle 04, a third connecting hole 107 is provided on the connecting main plate 101, as shown Figure 16 As shown, there are four third connection holes 107, which are located outside the second connection holes 108. In order to reduce the overall weight, the pedal fixing base 1 is provided with weight-reducing through holes 111.

[0095] To facilitate sliding connection with the footrest rod 4, the first support plate 102 is provided with a second through-hole 106, into which the footrest rod 4 is slidably connected. To facilitate sliding connection with the locking rod 3, the second support plate 103 is provided with a third through-hole 105, into which the locking rod 3 is slidably connected. It will be appreciated that to avoid interference with the sliding movement of the footrest rod 4 and the locking rod 3, the second through-hole 106 and the third through-hole 105 are coaxially arranged, thereby ensuring that the footrest rod 4 and the locking rod 3 are coaxially arranged, facilitating the footrest rod 4 to push the locking rod 3.

[0096] In order to protect the sliding connection structure between the footrest rod 4, the locking rod 3 and the rod fixing seat 8, a cover plate 2 is connected to the side of the first support plate 102 and the second support plate 103. The cover plate 2 is arranged around the outside of the unlocking rod 12 on the rod fixing seat 8. One end of the cover plate 2 is connected to the first support plate 102 by a first screw 5, and the other end is connected to the second support plate 103 by a first screw 5. In order to facilitate the connection of the first screw 5, the side of the first support plate 102 and the second support plate 103 are both provided with a first threaded connection hole 110, as shown in FIG. Figure 16 To facilitate limiting the sliding stroke of the pedal rod 4, a limiting through hole 109 is further provided on the first support plate 102. The limiting through hole 109 is connected to the second through hole 106. A limiting long slot 403 is provided on the pedal rod 4 at a position corresponding to the limiting through hole 109. The tail end of the limiting screw connected to the limiting through hole 109 is inserted into the limiting long slot 403, thereby limiting the position of the pedal rod 4.

[0097] In one embodiment, a guide cylinder 104 is provided on the surface of the second support plate 103 away from the first support plate 102, and a third through hole 105 passes through the guide cylinder 104. The inner wall of the third through hole 105 is provided with a limiting ring groove 112 for placing the second spring 11. Figure 18As shown, the opening of the limiting ring groove 112 is arranged close to the first support plate 102, and the other end of the second spring 11 contacts the limiting ring platform 303 on the locking rod 3. The second spring 11 is used to provide power for the retraction of the locking rod 3.

[0098] In order to facilitate the connection, the locking rod 3 includes a connecting end 305 and a tightening end 306. Figures 19 to 21 The connecting end 305 is used to connect to the pedal rod 4, and the abutting end 306 is used to connect to a fixture on the ground. The end of the connecting end 305 is provided with a first spring placement groove 301, in which a third spring 10 is placed. The third spring 10 is used to drive the pedal rod 4 back to its original position. To connect the pedal rod 4 to the locking rod 3, a connecting boss 307 is provided at the bottom of the first spring placement groove 301. The connecting boss 307 is arranged higher than the bottom of the first spring placement groove 301. The third spring 10 is placed between the side of the connecting boss 307 and the side of the first spring placement groove 301. The third spring 10 is arranged around the connecting boss 307, and the outer surface of the connecting boss 307 can also be used to guide the third spring 10.

[0099] In order to realize the connection between the limiting lock rod 7 and the locking rod 3, the connection end 305 of the locking rod 3 is provided with a third limiting sliding hole 302 and a connecting through hole 304 arranged crosswise near the abutting end 306, as shown in FIG. Figure 19 and Figure 21 As shown, the locking rod 702 is slidably connected to the third limiting sliding hole 302, and the limiting rod 701 is connected to the connecting through hole 304. In one embodiment, the third limiting sliding hole 302 and the connecting through hole 304 are arranged vertically and crosswise. The third limiting sliding hole 302 is arranged corresponding to the second end through hole of the first limiting sliding hole 805. The third limiting sliding hole 302 radially penetrates the connecting end 305 of the locking rod 3, and the connecting through hole 304 also radially penetrates the connecting end 305 of the locking rod 3. An opening hole 309 is provided at the end of the tightening end 306 away from the connecting end 305. The opening hole 309 is arranged along the axial direction of the tightening end 306, and the opening hole 309 is coaxial with the tightening end 306. By providing the opening hole 309, the weight of the locking rod 3 can be reduced and the strength of the structure can be ensured.

[0100] The pedal rod 4 includes a main rod body 401, such as Figures 22 to 24A second spring receiving groove 406 is provided at the end of the main rod 401 near the locking rod 3. A third spring 10 is placed in the second spring receiving groove 406 to drive the main rod 401 back to its original position. The bottom of the second spring receiving groove 406 is used to limit one end of the third spring 10. A clearance groove 404 is provided at the other end of the main rod 401. This clearance groove 404 facilitates the installation of the guide bolt 6. The clearance groove 404 and the second spring receiving groove 406 are connected by a fourth through hole 405. The fourth through hole 405 is a smooth hole, and the guide bolt 6 is slidably connected therein, thereby guiding the main rod 401. The tail end of the guide bolt 6 is threaded and threadedly connected to the second threaded connection hole 308 of the locking rod 3. The end of the main rod 401 near the locking rod 3 is slidably connected to the first spring receiving groove 301. The top cover of the clearance groove 404 is provided with a sealing cover 402 to prevent dust and other debris from entering the clearance groove 404 .

[0101] To facilitate connection with the unlocking lever 12 and simultaneously limit its position, a connecting ring 9 is fixedly attached to the main rod body 401. The connecting ring 9 is connected to the main rod body 401 via a second screw 13 and is sleeved onto the outer surface of the main rod body 401. One end of the unlocking lever 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting ring 9 via a rotating shaft 15. The other end of the unlocking lever 12 serves as a driving end, which is positioned to correspond to a rotating bearing 703 on the locking rod 702 of the position-limiting lock rod 7. A torsion spring 14 is provided near the rotating shaft 15 to drive the main rod body 401 back into position. When one end of the unlocking lever 12 rotates, the driving end of the unlocking lever 12 rotates around the rotating shaft 15 during the retraction of the foot pedal 4 after being pressed, thereby clearing the end of the locking rod 702. The rotating bearing 703 provided at the end of the locking rod 702 converts sliding friction into rotational friction, reducing the frictional force on the driving end of the unlocking lever 12 as it moves out of the way.

[0102] In one embodiment, the unlocking lever 12 is provided with a limiting inclined surface 1202 and a limiting plane 1201 adjacent to each other on the side close to the connecting ring 9. Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown, the limiting slope 1202 and the limiting plane 1201 are set close to the rotating shaft 15. One end of the torsion spring 14 is connected to the rotating shaft 15, and the other end is pressed on the limiting slope 1202, so as to press the unlocking lever 12 back to its original position. When the unlocking lever 12 is in its original position, the limiting plane 1201 contacts the limiting platform on the connecting ring 9, as shown in FIG. Figure 27As shown, thanks to the support provided by the limiting surface on the connecting ring 9, the driving end of the unlocking lever 12 is able to push the rotating bearing 703 in the locked position to unlock the lock. The driving end of the unlocking lever 12 is provided with a driving inclined surface 1203, which is arranged to correspond to the rotating bearing 703 of the locking lever 702 of the limited lock lever 7 in the locked position. The driving end of the unlocking lever 12 is also provided with an auxiliary inclined surface 1204, which is arranged on opposite sides of the driving end and has the same inclination angle as the driving inclined surface 1203.

[0103] The pedal self-locking mechanism provided by the present invention uses the foot to achieve locking and unlocking, without the need for manual operation, thus freeing the user's hands. When locked, the locking rod 3 has no rebound displacement, and the locking is more reliable. Locking and unlocking the pedals in the same position is simple, practical, and has a strong load-bearing capacity. In the pedal self-locking mechanism provided by the present invention, after the locking rod 3 falls, the locking rod 702 slides into the locking position limit of the first limiting slide hole 805, so that the locking rod 3 does not rebound after falling and is directly locked, thereby achieving locking without rebound or collapse. Since the locking rod 3 does not rebound after locking, there is no need to reserve a rebound stroke, thereby effectively reducing the thickness of the ground fixing device and reducing the risk of stumbling on people during use. The internal locking structure of the pedal self-locking mechanism provided by the present invention can meet the regulatory requirements of bearing a load of 135kg without deformation or damage. Locking or unlocking can be completed by applying a very small pedal force, and the locking strength is constant.

[0104] When the pedal self-locking mechanism of the present invention is in the initial position, Figure 28 As shown, under the action of the second spring 11, the pedal rod 4 and the unlocking rod 12 are lifted, and the locking rod 3 is raised, and is now in the unlocked state. When the foot is stepped on the pedal rod 4, the elastic force of the second spring 11 is overcome, so that the pedal rod 4, the unlocking rod 12, the locking rod 3 and the limit lock rod 7 move downward to the locked position. At this time, the limit lock rod 7 slides to the entrance position of the second end through hole of the first limit slide hole 805, as shown in FIG. Figure 29 As shown, the locking rod 702 is pushed into the locking position of the first limiting sliding hole 805 along the limiting rod 701 under the action of the first spring 704, thereby achieving locking. When the foot is released, the locking rod 3 is subjected to the elastic force of the second spring 11, and the locking rod 3, the pedal rod 4 and the unlocking rod 12 are lifted up. The auxiliary inclined surface 1204 of the unlocking rod 12 slides across the surface of the rotating bearing 703, allowing the driving end of the unlocking rod 12 to bypass the limiting locking rod 7. Then, the unlocking rod 12 returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring 14, as shown in FIG. Figure 30 As shown, under the action of the third spring 10, the pedal rod 4 returns to its original position. When the pedal rod 4 is stepped on again, the pedal moves downward, and the pedal rod 4 drives the unlocking rod 12 to move synchronously. The driving inclined surface 1203 of the unlocking rod 12 pushes the locking rod 702 to move in the unlocking direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 31As shown, the arrows in the figure indicate the movement directions of the various components. When the locking rod 702 moves to the first end through-hole of the first limiting slide hole 805, the second spring 11 pushes the locking rod 3, the pedal rod 4, the unlocking rod 12, and the limiting lock rod 7 upward, thereby unlocking the pedal. This completes the entire process from locking to unlocking of the pedal self-locking mechanism.
