DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Next, combine the Figure 1-Figure 4 A specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.

[0020] Reference Attachment Figure 1A CT angiography device for guiding a patient's position in an imaging department includes a bed frame base 1 standing on a foundation, a scanning bed 2 being connected to the bed frame base 1, a bed body 3 being slidably connected to the scanning bed 2, the scanning bed 2 being provided with a first slide groove 201 and a second slide groove 202, and the bed body 3 being provided with a first slide protrusion 301 and a second slide protrusion 302, the first slide protrusion 301 and the second slide protrusion 302 respectively cooperating with the first slide groove 201 and the second slide groove 202, so that the bed body 3 only needs to be pushed in sideways when installing, and the bed body 3 can be embedded in the scanning bed 2 and can be locked on the scanning bed by fasteners.

[0021] Reference Attachment Figure 2 The interior of the bed 3 is hollow, and a screw 4 is rotatably mounted within the bed 3. A motor 5 is also mounted within the bed 3. A pulley is keyed to the output shaft of the motor 5 and the screw 4, and the pulleys are connected by a belt. A movable frame 6 is mounted on the screw 4. The movable frame 6 is connected to an extrusion frame 8 on both sides via support arms 7. The extrusion frame 8 has an inclined end. An armrest 9 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the bed 3. An angle bracket 10 is attached to the armrest 9. The angle bracket 10 is extruded into engagement with the extrusion frame 8. The bed 3 has a movable slot 303 in the armrest 9, allowing the angle bracket 10 to rotate within this slot.

[0022] Guide rods 11 are connected to both sides of the movable frame 6 , and a guide cylinder 12 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the bed body 3 . The guide rods 11 cooperate with the guide cylinder 12 to guide the movement of the movable frame 6 .

[0023] In the initial state, the armrest 9 is automatically positioned in the movable groove of the bed. After the motor 5 is started, it drives the screw 4 to rotate. The rotating screw 4 controls the movement of the movable frame 6 on it. Under the guidance of the guide cylinder 12, the rotational freedom is suppressed. The movable frame 6 drives the extrusion frame 8 connected to it to move horizontally. When the extrusion frame 8 approaches the armrest 9, the inclined surface of its end pre-contacts the corner frame 10 of the armrest 9. Through the extrusion effect, the armrest 9 is forced to rotate and then lifted from the movable groove. When the inclined surface of the end of the extrusion frame 8 completely passes the corner frame 10, the corner frame 10 abuts the top surface of the extrusion frame 8. Thereafter, when the extrusion frame 8 moves, the armrest remains in the raised state.

[0024] In this embodiment, when the patient needs to lie flat on the scanning bed, the armrests 9 are in a flat and stowed position, allowing the patient to lie on the bed from either side. More importantly, after the patient lies flat, the armrests 9 can be raised to occupy the space where the patient's arms would otherwise be placed. That is, due to the presence of the armrests 10 and their raised position, during the scanning process, the patient's arms cannot be placed flat on the bed 3 or crossed across their chest due to their physical presence. The most comfortable position is to lie flat with their head in their arms. In this case, the patient's chest is fully extended, thereby ensuring the quality of the acquired CT images.

[0025] Reference Attachment Figure 2 The end of the movable frame 6 is connected to a push plate 13, and a column 14 is provided through the bed body 3. The end of the column 14 exposed to the bed body 3 is connected to a push piece 15, and the end built into the bed body 3 is connected to a pushed plate 16. The column 14 is covered with a first spring 17, and the two ends of the first spring 17 respectively contact the inner wall of the bed body 3 and the pushed plate 16; a headrest 18 is rotatably connected to the bed body 3, and a pushed piece 19 is connected to the bottom of the headrest 18, and the pushing piece 15 acts on the pushed piece 19.

[0026] After the patient lies flat, the head elevation angle can be adjusted according to the patient's condition. Specifically, the motor 5 continues to drive the screw 4 to rotate, controlling the movable frame 6 to continue to move forward until the pushing plate 13 contacts the pushed plate 16. The pushing plate 13 continues to move and pushes the pushed plate 16 to move. While compressing the first spring 17, the length of the column 14 exposed outside the head of the bed 3 is extended, and the pushing member 15 pushes the pushed member 19 to move, thereby causing the headrest 18 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the headrest angle. The headrest is raised, which indicates that CT angiography will be performed immediately.

[0027] Reference Attachment Figure 2 The column 14 is provided with a boss 141. The push plate 13 is connected to the end of the movable frame 6 via a telescopic member 20. The telescopic member 20 is covered with a second spring 21. Under the push of the push plate 13, the pushed plate 16 moves until the boss 141 on it abuts the inner wall of the headboard 3. After that, the pushed plate 16 and the push plate 13 are in contact and stationary, and the headrest angle is fixed. The movable frame 6 will continue to move. At this time, the telescopic member 20 contracts, and the second spring 21 is compressed. The deformation of the second spring 21 corresponds to the forward displacement of the movable frame 6. The elastic coefficient of the second spring 21 is greater than that of the first spring 17. Before the boss 141 abuts the inner wall of the headboard 3, the second spring 21 acts as a rigid member, which can drive the headrest to rotate. After the boss 141 abuts the inner wall of the headboard 3, it acts as an elastic member to absorb the displacement of the movable frame.

[0028] Reference Attachment Figure 2 and Figure 4 The present invention also includes a breathing assistance mechanism to help patients stabilize their emotions, adjust their breathing rate, and reduce artifacts caused by respiratory movement. Specifically, a second movable groove 304 is provided on the bed 3, and a jumping board 22 is installed at the second movable groove 304. The jumping board 22 covers the second movable groove 304. Parallel beams 23 are connected to the inner wall of the bed 3 at the second movable groove 304. Rotating members 24 are installed between the beams 23 for rotation. The rotating members 24 rotate in a controlled manner, thereby continuously and intermittently lifting the jumping board 22, giving the patient lying flat on the jumping board 22 a sense of touch, guiding the patient to breathe according to the intermittent touch and adjust their breathing rate.

[0029] Reference Attachment Figure 2-Figure 4, In this embodiment, the power source for controlling the rotation of the jumping plate 22 also comes from the motor 5. The specific scheme is as follows: spring grooves 601 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the movable frame 6, and a sliding column 25 is provided in the spring groove 601. A slide plate 26 is slidably provided on the slide column 25. The screw rod 4 passes through the slide plate 26 without contacting the slide plate. The slide column 25 is sleeved with a third spring 27. The two ends of the third spring 27 respectively contact the slide plate 26 and the inner wall of the spring groove 601; the rotating member 24 is keyed to a rotating shaft 28, and the rotating shaft 28 passes through the crossbeam 23 and is keyed to the upper pulley 29; the inner wall of the bed body 3 is connected to an H-shaped guide frame 30, and a second guide rod 31 is provided on the guide frame 30, and a sliding frame 32 is slidably provided on the second guide rod 31. A fourth spring 33 is sleeved on the second guide rod 31. The two ends of the four springs 33 contact the guide frame 30 and the sliding frame 32 respectively; the sliding frame 32 is connected to a positioning frame 34, and the upper pulley 29 slides downward to contact the positioning frame 34. At the same time, a necking section 401 is provided on the screw 4 near the guide frame 30, and a lower pulley 35 is coaxially arranged on the necking section 401. The lower pulley 35 is connected through a conveyor belt 36. The tension of the conveyor belt presses the lower pulley 35 tightly against the positioning frame 34, but the upper pulley 29 and the lower pulley 35 retain the freedom of rotation relative to the positioning frame 34. The sliding frame 32 is connected to a pressure piece 37; the necking section 401 on the screw 4 is connected to a friction section 402 with a gradually increasing diameter, and the lower pulley 35 is provided with an extrusion annular surface on the side facing the friction section 402.

[0030] When the headrest is adjusted to the right position, the moving frame 6 is controlled to continue to move until the slide plate 26 contacts the pressure piece 37, and then the slide plate 26 pushes the pressure piece 37 to move, so that the sliding frame 32 slides on the guide frame 30 and compresses the fourth spring 33. While the sliding frame 32 moves forward, the positioning frame 34 drives the upper pulley 29 and the lower pulley 35 to move forward synchronously until the extrusion annular surface of the lower pulley 35 abuts against the friction section 402 on the screw 4; thereafter, the pressure piece 37 is stationary, and the lower pulley 35 and the screw 4 are pressed together by the extrusion structure. The rotating member 24 forms a rotating whole, and the rotation of the screw 4 is transmitted to the rotating member 24 through the lower pulley 35, the conveyor belt 36, the upper pulley 29, and the rotating shaft 28, so that the screw 4 is linked with the rotating member 24 to rotate; the rotating rotating member 24 continuously and intermittently lifts the jumping plate 22 to assist the patient's breathing. During the rotation process, the movable frame 6 is controlled to continue to move a short distance, so that the patient can adapt to adjust the breathing frequency. During this process, the displacement of the movable frame 6 that continues to move is reflected in the compression of the second spring 21 and the fourth spring 33.

[0031] In the present invention, the movement of the mobile frame is controlled by only a single power source, namely the motor, which first rotates and rises the armrests to physically occupy the arm placement space, forcing the patient to place his hands on the headrest in a head-holding posture, thereby achieving the effect of fully expanding the chest; then continues to move to push the headrest to rotate into place, allowing the patient to lie flat in the correct posture; finally, the lower pulley and the screw are linked to form a rotating whole, and the rotating parts are linked to rotate to assist the patient's breathing, relax the patient, and reduce the formation of respiratory motion artifacts.

[0032] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
