Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radiation protection technology, and in particular to a radiation protection device for medical imaging. Background Technology

[0002] Medical imaging examinations utilize various imaging techniques to visualize and diagnose the internal structures and organs of the human body. X-ray examination: This is one of the most common medical imaging examinations. It utilizes the penetrating power of X-rays; when X-rays pass through different tissues in the human body, the absorption of X-rays varies due to differences in tissue density, thus forming images of different grayscale levels on film or digital imaging equipment. For example, a chest X-ray can observe the morphology and structure of organs such as the lungs and heart, helping to diagnose diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and cardiomegaly; X-rays of fractures can clearly show the location, type, and displacement of the fracture. CT scan: Computed tomography, which involves continuously rotating an X-ray beam around a specific part of the body, while a detector receives the X-ray signals after they pass through the body. The data is then processed by a computer to reconstruct an image of the body's cross-section. CT scans offer higher resolution, providing clearer visualization of the fine structures and lesions of internal organs. However, medical imaging, especially X-rays and CT scans, exposes patients to a certain dose of ionizing radiation. While the radiation dose is generally within safe limits, excessive radiation can negatively impact fetal development or child growth in sensitive groups such as pregnant women and children. Radiation protection devices effectively block or reduce radiation exposure to areas not being examined, thus lowering the total radiation dose received by the patient.

[0003] Conventional radiation protection devices are mostly of fixed size and shape, making it difficult to accurately cover the specific areas that patients need protection for during examinations. During the examination, patients may move their bodies due to discomfort or examination requirements, and conventional protective devices cannot adjust the protective position and range in real time according to the dynamic changes of the patient's body, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of protection. After the examination, patients usually need to remove them themselves or with the assistance of medical staff, and the placement may take up space and make it inconvenient for patients to get on and off the examination bed. Therefore, a radiation protection device for medical imaging departments is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as difficulty in accurately covering the specific areas requiring protection during examinations, the inability of patients to move due to discomfort or examination requirements, the inability of conventional protective devices to adjust the protective position and range in real time according to the dynamic changes of the patient's body, resulting in decreased protection accuracy, and the need for patients to remove the devices themselves or with the assistance of medical staff after the examination, as well as the potential space-consuming placement of these devices and the inconvenience for patients getting on and off the examination bed. Therefore, this invention proposes a radiation protection device for medical imaging departments.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A radiation protection device for medical imaging includes a movable seat and an examination bed. The examination bed is mounted on the upper part of the movable seat and is equipped with a protective assembly. The protective assembly includes a U-shaped plate slidably disposed on the upper part of the examination bed, a second servo motor mounted on the side of the U-shaped plate, a protective roll mounted on the output shaft of the second servo motor, a protective shell slidably disposed on the side of the examination bed, a sliding block slidably disposed on the inner side of the protective shell, a second telescopic rod mounted on the upper part of the sliding block, a round rod mounted on the end of the protective roll, a first drive unit for driving the U-shaped plate to move and a second drive unit for driving the sliding block to move, both disposed on the examination bed. The second telescopic rod and the round rod are fixedly connected. A push rod is rotatably connected to the side of the U-shaped plate. First telescopic rods are symmetrically mounted on the outer side of the push rod. A ball is mounted on the end of each of the two first telescopic rods away from the push rod. During the examination, the protective roll can accurately cover the area of ​​the patient that needs protection and can fit the protective roll tightly against the patient's body. The protective roll is then fixed by the ball to prevent it from bulging on both sides. It can also adaptively adjust with the patient's body movement. After the examination, the protective device can be moved to the lower part of the examination bed without hindering the patient from getting on and off the bed.

[0006] The above technical solution further includes: The first drive unit includes a first rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner side of the examination bed, a second rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner side of the examination bed, a first transmission belt sleeved on the outer sides of the first and second rotating rods, a first servo motor mounted on the side of the examination bed, the output end of the first servo motor being fixedly connected to the first rotating rod, the first rotating rod rotating and supporting the first transmission belt to rotate, a U-shaped plate mounted on the outer side of the first transmission belt, the upper part of the U-shaped plate being fixedly connected to the upper part of the U-shaped plate, the first transmission belt rotating and driving the U-shaped plate to move through the U-shaped plate.

[0007] A guide plate is installed on the outside of the examination bed. The spiral plate is slidably connected to the guide plate. After the first transmission belt rotates, it drives the spiral plate to move along the guide plate.

[0008] The second drive unit includes a third rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner side of a protective shell, a fourth rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner side of the protective shell, a second transmission belt sleeved on the outer sides of the third and fourth rotating rods, a fourth servo motor mounted on the side of the protective shell, the output end of the fourth servo motor being fixedly connected to the third rotating rod, and a sliding block mounted on the outer side of the second transmission belt. After the third rotating rod rotates, it drives the second transmission belt to rotate through the support of the rotation of the fourth rotating rod.

[0009] Both the sliding block and the sliding groove have convex cross-sections. The size of the opening of the sliding groove is adapted to the size of the sliding block. After the second transmission belt rotates, it drives the sliding block to move along the sliding groove.

[0010] A support plate is installed on the side of the examination bed, and a cylinder is installed on the upper part of the support plate. The end of the cylinder away from the support plate is fixedly connected to the protective shell. Activating the cylinder will cause the protective shell to move up and down.

[0011] A third servo motor is installed on the side of the U-shaped plate. A connecting plate is installed at the output end of the third servo motor. The side of the connecting plate away from the third servo motor is fixedly connected to the push rod. After the push rod rotates, it drives the ball to squeeze and fix the two sides of the protective roll.

[0012] The size of the opening of the U-shaped plate is adapted to the thickness of the guide plate. The U-shaped plate drives the U-shaped plate to move along the guide plate in a U-shaped trajectory, ensuring the stability of the opening of the U-shaped plate when it moves.

[0013] The transmission ratio of the third rotating rod to the second transmission belt and the first rotating rod to the first transmission belt are the same, ensuring consistent speed.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, by setting up protective components, the protective roll can be accurately covered to cover the area of ​​the patient that needs protection during the examination, and the protective roll can fit tightly to the patient's body. Then, the protective roll is fixed by a ball to prevent it from bulging on both sides. At the same time, it can adaptively adjust with the patient's body movement to always maintain a good protective state. After the examination, the protective device can be moved to the lower part of the examination bed without hindering the patient from getting on and off the bed. Overall, the accuracy, fit and convenience of the examination protection are improved. Attached Figure Description
