[0016] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: 1. Traditional CBCT devices install key imaging components such as X-ray sources and detectors inside the scanning gantry. Although this design ensures the integrity and stability of the device, the imaging components occupy the internal space of the gantry, resulting in a limited gantry aperture and unable to meet the imaging requirements for large areas such as the spine, chest, and abdomen. Secondly, the surgical operation space is restricted by the gantry, increasing the surgical difficulty. The present invention moves the imaging components to the outside of the gantry, significantly expanding the gantry aperture to 1 meter, meeting the imaging requirements for most intraoperative procedures, and also providing ample space for surgical operations, avoiding the imaging area being restricted by the main body of the gantry. After the imaging is completed, the operation can be directly performed without removing the device, further optimizing the intraoperative process and greatly enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of surgical operations. 2. The present invention redesigns the gantry structure and reasonably arranges the positions of each component, making the volume of the entire system more compact and lightweight, meeting the space requirements of the operating room. In particular, electronic components such as inverters and batteries are moved to the bottom base of the gantry instead of the traditional rotating structure. This not only reduces the weight of the rotating part but also lowers the complexity of the system. In addition, the equipped universal wheels and steering wheels further enhance the mobility of the device, enabling it to be quickly and accurately positioned in the operating room. 3. In the prior art, the imaging field of view of CBCT devices is limited by the detector size and mechanical structure, resulting in a limited imaging range. Especially when scanning complex parts such as the spine and pelvis, truncation artifacts are likely to occur, seriously affecting the image quality and diagnostic accuracy. The present invention introduces a detector offset technology. By installing a lead screw motor and a slide rail at the connection between the flat-panel detector mount and the detector, flexible linear displacement of the detector is achieved, thereby expanding or adjusting the imaging field of view without changing the patient's position. This technology not only effectively avoids the generation of truncation artifacts but also significantly improves the image quality, enabling doctors to obtain more complete and clear anatomical information, further enhancing the safety and accuracy of the surgery. 4. Through the structural design of the buffer and stabilization mechanism, the present invention realizes the function of buffering, and solves the problem that existing CT imaging devices do not have components for protection during movement. When moving the main body of the CT imaging device, it is easy to cause the device to shake due to the undulation of the ground, resulting in collisions within the device's internal structure, thereby affecting the imaging effect when the device is in use. 5. Through the structural design of the buffer and stabilization mechanism, the present invention realizes the function of increasing stability, and solves the problem that existing devices do not have components for increasing the stability of the main body of the CT imaging device. During transportation, when the vehicle turns on the way, it is extremely easy to cause the center of gravity of the device main body to be unstable, resulting in the risk of the device main body tilting or collapsing, and improves the stability during transportation.

Detailed implementation manners
[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Embodiment
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-11 As shown, a intraoperative cone beam CT imaging device includes a base 1; the main body 2 of the CT imaging device is welded together at the top of the base 1, and a buffer and stability mechanism is provided at the bottom of the base 1; The buffer stabilizing mechanism includes a first bottom plate 10, which is also arranged on the left and right sides of the front and rear ends of the bottom end of the base 1. The first bottom plate 10 is circularly designed. Anti-slip blocks 11 are adhered to the bottom end of the first bottom plate 10. The anti-slip blocks 11 are made of rubber. A damper 12 is welded to the top end of the first bottom plate 10. A first fixing block 13 is welded to the top end of the damper 12. A first return spring 14 is sleeved outside the damper 12. The bottom end of the first return spring 14 is welded to the first bottom plate 10, and the top end of the first return spring 14 is welded to the first fixing block 13. The first fixing block 13 is circularly designed. The inner wall of the CT imaging device main body 2 is fixedly connected with an outer bearing ring 44. The inner wall of the outer bearing ring 44 is rotatably connected with an inner bearing ring 45. A ray source mounting seat 42 is fixedly connected to the upper part near the rear end of the outer bearing ring 44. An X-ray source 41 is fixedly connected to the top end of the ray source mounting seat 42. A beam former 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the ray source mounting seat 42. A flat panel detector mounting seat 46 is fixedly connected to the rear end near the lower part of the inner bearing ring 45. A flat panel detector 47 is fixedly connected to the top end of the flat panel detector mounting seat 46. A synchronous belt 51 is drivingly connected to the outside of the inner bearing ring 45. The synchronous belt 51 is drivingly connected to a synchronous pulley and a driving motor 49. A pinch roller 50 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the CT imaging device main body 2. The pinch roller 50 is slidably connected with the synchronous belt 51. The synchronous pulley and the driving motor 49 are electrically connected to a battery 48 through a wire. The battery 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the CT imaging device main body 2. Four sets of casters 55 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the CT imaging device main body 2, and electric steering wheels 56 are also fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom end of the CT imaging device main body 2. A steering wheel driving motor 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the CT imaging device main body 2. An inverter 52 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top end of the CT imaging device main body 2. A control board 54 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rear end of the CT imaging device main body 2. A lead screw motor 62 and two sets of slide rails 63 are fixedly connected to the connection part between the flat panel detector mounting seat 46 and the flat panel detector 47. An AC contactor 58 and a filter 59 are respectively fixedly connected to the rear end of the CT imaging device main body 2. A drag chain 57 is connected inside the inner bearing ring 45. A driver 61 and a driving motor 60 are respectively fixedly connected to the left side near the rear end of the CT imaging device main body 2; During operation, when encountering bumpy conditions, the impact energy generated will drive the main body 2 of the CT imaging device and the base 1 to move downward. When the base 1 moves downward, it drives the first return spring 14 and the damper 12 at the bottom of the first fixing block 13 to contract and buffer simultaneously. Moreover, the anti-slip block 11 at the bottom of the first base plate 10 can also start the shock-absorbing effect and increase the anti-slip effect. The X-ray sources 41 and 47 flat panel detectors move from the inner side of the rack hole to the front side of the rack, significantly reducing the occupancy of the imaging components in the internal space of the rack, enabling the rack aperture to be expanded to 1 m, meeting the imaging requirements of most intraoperative procedures. At the same time, the space within the imaging area formed by the X-ray sources 41 and 47 flat panel detectors is no longer restricted by the rack body. After the intraoperative imaging is completed, medical staff can directly perform surgical operations within the imaging space without having to move the CBCT device away. The outer side of the inner ring of the bearing is connected to a synchronous belt, which is used to drive the large bearing, the fixing frame, and the imaging components to rotate 360° on the vertical circumference. The 51 synchronous belt is driven by the 49 synchronous pulley and the drive motor. The drive motor provides power, which is transmitted to the synchronous belt via the synchronous pulley to achieve precise control of the 45 inner ring of the bearing. The 50 pressure pulley increases the friction and stability of the synchronous belt, preventing the 51 synchronous belt from generating unnecessary movement due to external forces during operation. The 57 cable carrier connected to the inner side of the 45 inner ring of the bearing is used to protect and orderly manage the cables and pipelines connecting the X-ray sources 41, 47 flat panel detectors, and other related electronic devices. The 57 cable carrier is arranged along the movement trajectory of the 45 inner ring of the bearing and flexibly extends or contracts as the bearing rotates, effectively avoiding problems such as entanglement and wear that may occur to the cables and pipelines during frequent movement. The 55 casters are used to provide omnidirectional movement support, enabling the entire device to move in multiple directions easily within the operating room. The 55 casters are equipped with locking devices that can fix the position of the device when needed to ensure the stability of the device during scanning. The 56 electric steering wheel is driven by the 53 steering wheel drive motor, which is used to precisely control the direction adjustment of the device and provide additional power support to assist medical staff in quickly positioning the device. The 62 lead screw motor and the 63 two slide rails installed at the connection between the 46 flat panel detector mount and the 47 flat panel detector are used to achieve detector offset, so that the imaging field of view can be flexibly expanded or adjusted without changing the patient's position, avoiding the influence of truncation artifacts. The 62 lead screw motor drives the 47 flat panel detector to perform linear displacement along the 63 slide rail by precisely controlling the rotation of the lead screw. The 63 slide rail provides a guiding function and ensures the stability and smoothness of the 47 flat panel detector during movement.

The flat panel detector 47 receives the X-ray signal penetrating the patient's tissue and generates a two-dimensional projection image; S5: Correct the projection data by geometric weight through the FDK algorithm, and use a ramp filter (Ram-Lak) to convolve the data filtered by back-projection along the cone-beam ray path into three-dimensional space to obtain three-dimensional image information.
[0032] Working principle: When it is necessary to increase the stability of the device main body and conduct protection and buffering at the same time, first start the motor 24 at the right end of the fourth fixing block 23 to drive the first bevel gear 25 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 25 drives the second bevel gear 26 and the transmission rod 27 to rotate simultaneously. When the transmission rod 27 rotates, the outer sides of the front and rear ends of the transmission rod 27 also rotate along the inside of the second sleeve block 28, and the fixing rod 29 is used to fixedly support the position of the second sleeve block 28. When the transmission rod 27 rotates, it simultaneously drives the limit block 30 to rotate, and the limit block 30 can effectively start the function of limiting the transmission rod 27 to prevent the transmission rod 27 from moving forward and backward. At the same time, the rotation of the transmission rod 27 drives the third bevel gears 31 at the front and rear ends to rotate. When the third bevel gear 31 rotates, it simultaneously drives the fourth bevel gear 32 and the bidirectional threaded rod 19 to rotate. When the bidirectional threaded rod 19 rotates, it drives the rotating blocks 20 at the left and right ends to rotate along the inside of the first sleeve block 21 simultaneously, and the third fixing block 22 is used to fixedly support the position of the first sleeve block 21. When the bidirectional threaded rod 19 rotates, it drives the first moving block 16 to move outward along the outside of the bidirectional threaded rod 19. When the first moving block 16 moves, it drives the fixing plate 15 to move simultaneously. Similarly, when the first moving block 16 moves, it will move along the outside of the first guide rod 17 inside the second fixing block 18, and at the same time drive the first bottom plate 10 to move outward to expand the width of its contact with the ground to increase stability. When encountering a bumpy situation, the generated impact energy will drive the CT imaging device main body 2 and the base 1 to move downward. When the base 1 moves downward, it drives the first return spring 14 and the damper 12 at the bottom end of the first fixing block 13 to contract and buffer simultaneously, and the anti-slip block 11 at the bottom end of the first bottom plate 10 can also start the shock absorption effect and increase the anti-slip effect. At the same time, when the base 1 moves downward, it will squeeze the first fixing seat 33 to move downward, and when the first fixing seat 33 moves, it drives the push rod 34 to rotate outward along the outside of the first fixing seat 33. At the same time, when the push rod 34 rotates outward, the push rod 34 rotates along the outside of the second fixing seat 35, and at the same time pushes the second moving block 36 to move outward. When the second moving block 36 moves, it will move along the outside of the second guide rod 37 at the top end of the second bottom plate 40, and the fifth fixing block 39 is used to fixedly support the position of the second guide rod 37. At the same time, when the second moving block 36 moves, it will squeeze the second return spring 38 outside the second guide rod 37 to contract and buffer When the device is in use, the X-ray source 41 and the flat panel detector 47 are moved from the inside of the gantry hole to the front side of the gantry, significantly reducing the occupancy of the imaging components in the internal space of the gantry, enabling the gantry aperture to be expanded to 1 m, meeting the imaging requirements for most intraoperative procedures. At the same time, the space within the imaging area formed by the X-ray source 41 and the flat panel detector 47 is no longer restricted by the gantry body. After the intraoperative imaging is completed, medical staff can directly perform surgical operations within the imaging space without removing the CBCT device. The outer side of the inner ring 45 of the bearing is connected to a timing belt 51, which is used to drive the large bearing, the fixing frame, and the imaging components to rotate 360° on the vertical circumference. The timing belt 51 is driven by a timing pulley and a drive motor 49 to achieve precise control of the inner ring 45 of the bearing. The idler pulley 50 increases the friction and stability of the timing belt 51, preventing unnecessary movement of the timing belt 51 during operation due to external forces. The drag chain 57 connected to the inner side of the inner ring 45 of the bearing is used to protect and orderly manage the cables and pipelines connecting the X-ray source 41, the flat panel detector 47, and other related electronic devices. The drag chain 57 is arranged along the movement trajectory of the inner ring 45 of the bearing and flexibly extends or contracts as the bearing rotates, effectively avoiding problems such as entanglement and wear that may occur to the cables and pipelines during frequent movement. The casters 55 are used to provide omnidirectional movement support, enabling the entire device to move easily in multiple directions within the operating room. The casters 55 are equipped with locking devices that can fix the position of the device when needed to ensure the stability of the device during scanning. The electric steering wheel 56 is driven by a steering wheel drive motor 53, which is used to precisely control the direction adjustment of the device and provide additional power support to assist medical staff in quickly positioning the device. The lead screw motor 62 and two slide rails 63 installed at the connection between the flat panel detector mount 46 and the flat panel detector 47 are used to achieve the offset of the flat panel detector 47, enabling flexible expansion or adjustment of the imaging field without changing the patient's position and avoiding the influence of truncation artifacts. The lead screw motor 62 drives the flat panel detector 47 to perform linear displacement along the slide rail 63 by precisely controlling the rotation of the lead screw. The slide rail 63 provides a guiding function and ensures the stability and smoothness of the flat panel detector 47 during movement.
