Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of X-ray imaging technology, in particular to a detector adjusting mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] The computer tomography device has important application value in medical diagnosis and industrial detection. With the growth of on-site rapid diagnosis demand, the vehicle-mounted mobile CT system gradually becomes the industry development trend. However, the mobile operation environment brings significant challenges to the imaging quality. The complex dynamic load such as the continuous jolt generated by the uneven road surface during the vehicle driving, the periodic vibration caused by the engine operation, the inertial impact force in the vehicle start-stop stage, etc. can easily cause the micron-level displacement offset of the detector assembly relative to the ray source or the scanning object. Such displacement will destroy the geometric consistency of the projection data acquisition, and generate motion artifacts, edge blur and structure distortion in the image reconstruction process, which seriously affects the reliability and detection accuracy of the diagnosis result. In the actual operation of the vehicle-mounted CT, the detector position offset problem is particularly prominent. The conventional solution relies on professional technicians to manually intervene after the vehicle is parked or during the scanning interval. The operator needs to use simple measuring tools to manually adjust the mechanical positioning components of the detector support for calibration. This process has multiple technical bottlenecks. First, the manual calibration is time-consuming and usually requires repeated measurement and adjustment, which seriously restricts the rapid response capability of the vehicle-mounted CT system, and is difficult to adapt to the application scenarios such as field operation and emergency rescue which require frequent movement and immediate deployment. Second, the calibration accuracy is highly dependent on the experience level and visual judgment of the operator, and lacks objective quantitative standards, resulting in unstable reset accuracy and failing to meet the stringent requirements of modern CT imaging on geometric accuracy. In addition, manual operation is easily disturbed by external factors such as environmental light and space limitations, further reducing the calibration reliability. Under the existing technical framework, the detector position calibration link has become a key obstacle to the automation level and imaging quality improvement of the vehicle-mounted mobile CT system.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the main gear one 23, the slave gear one 24 and the toothed belt one 25 constitute a closed-loop synchronous toothed belt transmission system for transmitting the rotary motion of the servo motor one 21.

The inner side tooth surface of the toothed belt one 25 is precisely meshed with the outer side teeth of the main gear one 23 and the slave gear one 24 to form a non-slip positive meshing transmission path. The annular structure of the toothed belt one 25 makes it form a closed loop between the main gear one 23 and the slave gear one 24.

[0017] In the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, the sliding rails I 28 and the sliding blocks I 27 constitute a high-precision linear guide rail structure, used for limiting the moving direction of the moving seat 26 to be lateral straight line, the sliding rails I 28 are fixedly installed on the front side of the mounting plate 11 as two mutually parallel rigid guide rails, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding rails I 28 is T-shaped, swallow-tailed, rectangular or cylindrical, the mounting reference surface of the sliding rails I 28 is in high planeness cooperation with the front side of the mounting plate 11, fastened by countersunk bolts, to ensure that the axial direction is strictly parallel to the preset lateral coordinate axis, the sliding blocks I 27 are two matching sliding units fixedly installed on the rear side of the moving seat 26, the inner cavity structure of the sliding blocks I 27 is adapted to the shape of the sliding rails I 28, for example, when the sliding rails I 28 are T-shaped, the sliding blocks I 27 are internally provided with corresponding T-shaped grooves, rolling bodies are embedded in the sliding blocks I 27 to form rolling friction structure, or self-lubricating engineering plastic gaskets are adopted to form sliding friction structure, and the sliding blocks I 27 are provided with pre-tightening structure between the sliding blocks I 27 and the sliding rails I 28.
[0018] The high-precision linear guide rail structure is jointly constituted by the sliding rails I 28 and the sliding blocks I 27, when the tooth plate 29 is driven by the tooth belt I 25 to generate lateral thrust, the sliding blocks I 27 are constrained in the sliding rails I 28 and can only move in the axial direction of the sliding rails I 28 to make pure translation movement, thereby completely limiting the rotation freedom of the moving seat 26 around the X, Y and Z axes and the longitudinal and vertical translation freedom, so that the movement freedom of the moving seat 26 is constrained to be linear displacement along the lateral coordinate axis.
[0019] Reference Figures 1-4In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 is used to drive the precise linear lifting adjustment of the probe body 4 in the vertical direction (i.e. Z direction), and the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 is composed of an upper connecting plate 31, a lower connecting plate 32, a threaded rod 33, a servo motor two 34, a main gear two 35, a slave gear two 36, a toothed belt two 37, a mounting seat 38, a sliding block two 39, a sliding rail two 310, and a clamped plate 311. The mounting seat 38 is a cast aluminum or sheet metal bent and welded structure, the inner thread of which forms a transmission structure with the threaded rod 33, and the outer contour is provided with a mounting interface matched with the sliding block two 39. The sliding rail two 310 and the sliding block two 39 form another set of independent high-precision linear guide rail structures, which are arranged in the vertical direction perpendicular to the sliding rail one 28. The clamped plate 311 is an L-shaped or T-shaped steel plate fixed to the side wall of the mounting seat 38.
[0020] In the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 includes an upper connecting plate 31 and a lower connecting plate 32 fixedly installed on the front upper and lower sides of the moving seat 26, respectively. The threaded rod 33 is rotatably installed between the upper connecting plate 31 and the lower connecting plate 32. The upper connecting plate 31 is a metal plate structure fixedly installed on the top region of the front of the moving seat 26. The upper connecting plate 31 is fastened to the front of the moving seat 26 by bolts, and the installation position thereof is matched with the structural strength distribution of the moving seat 26. The bottom of the upper connecting plate 31 is provided with a mounting boss or a counterbore for mounting the servo motor two 34, and the upper surface thereof is provided with a bearing mounting position for assembling a radial contact ball bearing or an angular contact ball bearing supporting the top end of the threaded rod 33. The lower connecting plate 32 is a metal plate structure fixedly installed on the bottom region of the front of the moving seat 26, and is rigidly connected with the moving seat 26 by bolts or welding. The upper surface of the lower connecting plate 32 is provided with a bearing mounting position for assembling a deep groove ball bearing or a cylindrical roller bearing supporting the bottom end of the threaded rod 33. The top end and the bottom end of the threaded rod 33 are respectively constrained by bearings in the bearing mounting positions of the upper connecting plate 31 and the lower connecting plate 32, so as to realize stable rotation around the axis of the threaded rod 33 without axial movement and radial shaking. The axis direction of the threaded rod 33 is perpendicular to the front of the moving seat 26, i.e. parallel to the longitudinal adjustment direction of the probe body 4. The rotational movement of the threaded rod 33 is converted into the precise linear displacement of the mounting seat 38 in the vertical direction under the subsequent thread cooperation with the mounting seat 38 and the guidance constraint of the sliding rail two 310. The upper connecting plate 31 and the lower connecting plate 32 respectively provide the rotation supporting points of the two ends of the threaded rod 33, and cooperatively form a double-support-point simply supported structure. This structure can effectively inhibit the bending deformation and resonance tendency of the threaded rod 33 under the vehicle-mounted vibration working condition, and significantly improve the bending stiffness and rotational stability compared with single-end cantilever support.
[0021] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the bottom of the upper connecting plate 31 is fixedly mounted with a servo motor two 34, the output end of the servo motor two 34 penetrates through the upper connecting plate 31 and extends above the upper connecting plate 31, and is fixedly connected with a main gear two 35, the top end of the threaded rod 33 penetrates through the upper connecting plate 31 and extends above the upper connecting plate 31, and is fixedly connected with a slave gear two 36, a toothed belt two 37 is sleeved around the periphery of the slave gear two 36 and the main gear two 35 in common engagement, the upper connecting plate 31 is a rigid connecting plate for supporting and positioning the upper end of the threaded rod 33 in the longitudinal adjustment assembly, and providing an installation reference for the servo motor two 34, and the upper connecting plate 31 is fastened to the front top of the moving seat 26 by bolts, and the installation face thereof is perpendicular to the surface of the moving seat 26.
[0022] The housing of the servo motor two 34 is fixed to the bottom of the upper connecting plate 31 through a flange or a base, and during installation, the center line of the output shaft is ensured to be coaxial with the reserved through hole in the upper connecting plate 31, the control signal line of the servo motor two 34 is led out through the cable through hole on the side of the upper connecting plate 31, the main gear two 35 is a spur gear or a synchronous pulley, the inner hole thereof is fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor two 34 in an interference fit or a key connection mode, the tooth profile parameters of the main gear two 35 are adapted to the toothed belt two 37, the threaded rod 33 is used to be fixed to the slave gear two 36 through a locking screw or a key structure, the lower end of the threaded rod 33 is supported on the lower connecting plate 32 through a bearing, and the upper end thereof is extended after penetrating through the upper connecting plate 31, and the length of the extended section is sufficient to enable the slave gear two 36 to be located above the upper connecting plate 31, the slave gear two 36 is a synchronous pulley or a spur gear with the same parameters as the main gear two 35, the inner hole thereof is connected to the top end of the threaded rod 33 in an interference fit or a key connection, the pitch and the number of teeth of the toothed belt two 37 are matched with the main gear two 35 and the slave gear two 36, the toothed belt two 37 forms a closed loop transmission around the periphery of the main gear two 35 and the slave gear two 36, the tension of the toothed belt two 37 is realized by adjusting the installation position of the servo motor two 34 or adding a tension pulley, and the toothed belt two 37 has elastic buffering characteristics, and can absorb part of vibration energy during starting and stopping of the servo motor two 34 and speed changing.
[0023] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the main gear two 35, the driven gear two 36 and the toothed belt two 37 constitute a synchronous transmission structure for transmitting the rotary motion of the servo motor two 34 to the threaded rod 33. The main gear two 35 is a cylindrical spur gear or helical gear fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor two 34. The driven gear two 36 is a cylindrical spur gear or helical gear fixedly installed at the top end of the threaded rod 33. The axial positioning is achieved by matching the stop washer or lock nut through the bearing hole on the upper connecting plate 31 to prevent axial movement. The tooth profile parameters of the driven gear two 36 match those of the main gear two 35 to ensure smooth meshing. The toothed belt two 37 is a synchronous tooth profile belt with a steel wire core line embedded in a polyurethane matrix. The inner tooth surface of the toothed belt two 37 precisely meshes with the outer tooth of the main gear two 35, and the outer tooth surface precisely meshes with the outer tooth of the driven gear two 36, forming a double-meshing closed-loop synchronous transmission path. The synchronous transmission structure consists of the main gear two 35, the driven gear two 36 and the toothed belt two 37, which form a power transmission system with no slip, high rigidity and low inertia. The transmission ratio is equal to the inverse ratio of the number of teeth of the main gear two 35 and the driven gear two 36, that is, This structure does not rely on friction to transmit torque, avoiding the slippage, loss of rotation or response delay caused by insufficient tensioning of traditional flat belts or V-belts. The dynamic response time can be controlled within milliseconds, meeting the real-time requirements of vehicle-mounted CT systems for fast and accurate longitudinal position resetting in a vibrating environment. The tensioning state of the toothed belt two 37 in the synchronous transmission structure can be achieved by adjusting the installation position of the servo motor two 34 at the bottom of the upper connecting plate 31.
[0024] In the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 further comprises a mounting seat 38, the probe body 4 is fixedly installed on the front face of the mounting seat 38, the mounting seat 38 is sleeved on the periphery of the threaded rod 33 and is threadedly connected with the threaded rod 33, the bottom of the mounting seat 38 is fixedly installed with a sliding block two 39, the front face of the moving seat 26 is fixedly installed with a sliding rail two 310, the sliding block two 39 is slidingly connected with the sliding rail two 310, the mounting seat 38 is a rigid support structure for carrying and positioning the probe body 4, and the main body thereof is a rectangular plate or a box-type frame structure. An internally threaded through hole is formed in the central area of the mounting seat 38, and the probe body 4 is fixed to the front face by bolts. The probe body 4 is an X-ray flat panel detector, and the type is amorphous silicon detector, amorphous selenium detector or CMOS detector. The connection between the probe body 4 and the front face of the mounting seat 38 is bolted fastening connection, quick release buckle connection or magnetic attraction connection. A buffer gasket is arranged between the back face of the probe body 4 and the front face of the mounting seat 38.
[0025] The mounting seat 38 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the threaded rod 33 and is in threaded connection with the threaded rod 33, that is, the mounting seat 38 is screwed on the threaded rod 33 through the central internal threaded hole, and the two constitute a movement structure relationship. The slider two 39 is a linear slider, internally integrated with a ball circulating system, and cooperates with the slide rail two 310 to form a rolling linear guide rail structure. The number of the slider two 39 is one or two, and the slider two 39 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the mounting seat 38. The slider two 39 and the mounting seat 38 are rigidly connected through a countersunk screw. The slide rail two 310 is a hard anodized aluminum alloy linear guide rail, and the cross-sectional shape is rectangular, T-shaped or convex-shaped. Limiting stoppers are arranged at both ends of the slide rail two 310 to prevent the mounting seat 38 from being disengaged at the limit position. The slider two 39 is in sliding connection with the slide rail two 310, and the slider two 39 moves linearly along the axial direction of the slide rail two 310. The movement is strictly constrained in a single degree of freedom, thereby completely limiting the rotational freedom of the mounting seat 38 around the axis of the threaded rod 33. When the threaded rod 33 rotates under the drive of the servo motor two 34, the mounting seat 38 can only produce axial displacement in the direction of the slide rail two 310 because the slider two 39 cannot rotate synchronously. The displacement ΔL and the number of rotations N of the threaded rod 33 and the lead P satisfy the relationship: ΔL = N × P.
[0026] In the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the slide rail two 310 and the slider two 39 form a high-precision linear guide rail structure for limiting the movement direction of the mounting seat 38 to be a longitudinal straight line, and preventing the mounting seat 38 from rotating with the threaded rod 33. The slide rail two 310 is a strip-shaped guide rail structure fixedly installed on the front of the moving seat 26, and the extension direction is perpendicular to the plane of the mounting plate 11 and parallel to the direction of gravity (i.e. the longitudinal direction). The cross-sectional shape is T-shaped, swallow-tailed or rectangular groove-shaped. The slider two 39 is a sliding matching component matched with the slide rail two 310, internally embedded with rolling bodies (such as balls or rollers) or using low-friction engineering plastic pads to reduce movement resistance and improve positioning repeatability. The slider two 39 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 38, and the installation position makes the movement center line of the slider two 39 parallel to the axis of the threaded rod 33. The slider two 39 and the slide rail two 310 are in clearance fit or pre-tightening fit. The high-precision linear guide rail structure is jointly formed by the slide rail two 310 and the slider two 39. When the threaded rod 33 rotates under the drive of the servo motor two 34, the mounting seat 38 has a tendency to move in the direction of the thread rise angle due to the threaded connection with the threaded rod 33. However, the slider two 39 is rigidly constrained in the guide groove of the slide rail two 310, and is only allowed to linearly slide in the axial direction of the slide rail two 310, thereby completely suppressing the rotational freedom of the mounting seat 38 around the axis of the threaded rod 33, and strictly decoupling the movement output of the threaded structure into a single longitudinal linear displacement. The longitudinal straight line is a spatial straight line path parallel to the normal of the imaging surface of the detector body 4 and perpendicular to the transverse adjustment direction, which is consistent with the main direction of the detector offset caused by the vehicle pitch vibration in the vehicle-mounted CT system, and thus can compensate for this kind of disturbance, As an optional variant, the slide rail two 310 and the slider two 39 can also be replaced by a cross roller guide structure, which is composed of two groups of mutually orthogonal rollers, which can provide equivalent longitudinal guiding accuracy while additionally enhancing the resistance to lateral and vertical interference forces, or the slide rail two 310 can be integrated into the cast body of the moving seat 26, and the guiding surface is directly formed by precision grinding to reduce assembly errors and improve overall rigidity. The above-mentioned alternative solutions do not change the functional nature of limiting the moving direction of the mounting seat to a longitudinal straight line and preventing it from rotating with the threaded rod, and belong to the reasonable extension within the technical concept of the present disclosure.
[0027] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the side wall of the mounting seat 38 is fixedly installed with a clamping plate 311, the probe body 4 cooperates with the clamping plate 311, and the clamping assembly 5 is correspondingly arranged with the clamping plate 311.
[0028] The clamping plate 311 refers to a rigid metal plate structure fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting seat 38, used as an action surface for the clamping assembly 5 to apply clamping force. The shape of the clamping plate 311 is rectangular, L-shaped or special-shaped structure with positioning bosses.
[0029] The probe body 4 cooperates with the clamping plate 311, which means that the side surface or special mounting lug of the probe body 4 is arranged adjacent to the clamping plate 311 in space position, and there is no relative motion freedom degree between them. This cooperative relationship is direct contact type cooperation, or indirect rigid connection through intermediate connecting piece. When the probe body 4 is a flat plate structure, the clamping plate 311 is symmetrically arranged at the middle of the side edge. When the probe body 4 has a protruding interface module, the clamping plate 311 avoids the module and is arranged in the adjacent flat area.
[0030] The clamping assembly 5 is correspondingly arranged with the clamping plate 311, which means that the spatial position of the execution end of the clamping assembly 5 is arranged opposite to the clamping surface of the clamping plate 311. The clamping assembly 5 is a normally closed mechanical self-locking structure, or an electrically controlled driving structure, whose driving mode includes electric push rod, pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or electromagnet. The clamping assembly 5 is installed on the rear inner wall of the mounting shell 1, and its installation position is adaptively adjusted according to the actual position of the clamping plate 311 on the longitudinal adjusting assembly 3. When the clamping plate 311 is located on the right side of the mounting seat 38, the clamping assembly 5 is arranged on the right inner wall of the mounting shell 1.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the clamping assembly 5 is one of electromagnetic chuck type, pneumatic wedge type or electric screw locking type mechanism, whose fixed end is rigidly installed on the rear inner wall of the mounting shell 1, and the execution end is arranged towards the clamping plate 311. The execution end of the clamping assembly 5 is arranged opposite to the clamping plate 311 in space position, and the contact surfaces of the two are complementary in shape.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the clamping assembly 5 is mounted on the rear inner wall of the mounting shell 1, and its execution end cooperates with the clamped plate 311 to lock the position of the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3.
[0033] The clamping assembly 5 is a mechanical clamping device fixedly mounted on the rear inner wall of the mounting shell 1, and its execution end is a pneumatic clamping jaw, a symmetrical clamping arm driven by an electric push rod, an electromagnetic attraction type locking mechanism, or a wedge-shaped pressing block driven by a hydraulic cylinder.
[0034] The mounting position of the clamping assembly 5 is near the middle or symmetrically upper and lower area of the movement envelope of the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 on the rear inner wall of the mounting shell 1, and its axis direction is perpendicular or inclined at an acute angle to the plane where the clamped plate 311 is located, to ensure that the clamping force can be effectively transmitted to the rigid main body structure of the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3. The mounting method is bolt fastening, welding embedding or guide rail quick release connection. The clamped plate 311 is a metal reinforcing plate fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting seat 38, and the side surface thereof facing the clamping assembly 5 is a plane, a rough surface with anti-skid lines or is provided with a positioning groove / protrusion, for forming reliable contact with the execution end of the clamping assembly 5 and preventing relative slipping. The clamped plate 311 is fastened with the mounting seat 38 by means of countersunk head screws, and a lock washer or thread glue is arranged to ensure the connection reliability in a long-term vibration environment. When the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 completes the transverse and longitudinal positioning, the control system outputs an electric signal or a gas pressure signal to drive the clamping assembly 5 to act, so that its execution end moves along the preset direction and contacts the clamped plate 311, and a controllable positive pressure is applied. The positive pressure is transmitted to the mounting seat 38 through the clamped plate 311, and then the entire longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 is constrained in X, Y and Z directions, especially the small rotation around the X and Y axes and the axial movement along the Z axis, so as to realize the rigid locking of the spatial pose of the detector body 4.
[0035] Through the technical scheme, the following synergistic effects are realized: the mounting shell 1 and the mounting plate 11 form a stable reference platform, the through opening 12 provides an interference-free passing path for the transverse movement component, the transverse adjustment assembly 2 converts the rotary motion of the servo motor 21 into high-repetition linear displacement of the moving seat 26 through the toothed belt 25 and the toothed plate 29, drives the entire longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 and the detector body 4 to be accurately positioned in the X direction, the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 uses the coupling mechanism of the screw structure and the linear guide structure to forcibly convert the rotary motion of the servo motor 34 into non-rotating lifting motion of the mounting seat 38 and the detector body 4 in the Z direction, the clamping assembly 5 applies a controllable clamping force to the clamped plate 311 after adjustment is completed, rigidly anchors the longitudinal adjustment assembly 3 to the mounting shell 1, thereby suppressing the micro-shaking and drifting of the detector body 4 due to vibration excitation in the vehicle driving state, the whole mechanism forms a closed-loop controllable adjustment capability in two orthogonal directions, and has a state locking function after adjustment, which solves the technical problem that the image quality is deteriorated due to the dynamic deviation of the detector in the vehicle-mounted environment, and improves the imaging robustness and operation efficiency of the CT system in the mobile working condition.
