[0002] Positron emission tomography (PET) drugs are a class of radiopharmaceuticals containing positron-emitting nuclides. They are the core reagents for PET imaging. The positrons released by the decay of the nuclide annihilate electrons in the body to generate gamma photons, which are then imaged by PET equipment to detect functional metabolism at the molecular level in the body. They are widely used in the clinical diagnosis and research of tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and nervous system diseases.
[0003] Currently, the syringe fixing and driving structure design of traditional synthesis equipment is rudimentary, which is prone to problems such as clamping deviation and power transmission loss, resulting in insufficient drug dispensing accuracy and affecting the accuracy of nuclear drug synthesis ratio. To address this, we propose a mechanical structure and control system for a positron emission tomography (PET) drug synthesis module. Summary of the Invention

A support rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, and a stop is fixedly connected to one side of the support rod. A slide is slidably connected to the support rod, and a limiting sleeve is installed at one end of the slide. The upper end of the syringe is located on the movement trajectory of the limiting sleeve, and the upper end of the syringe is adapted to the inside of the limiting sleeve. A positioning seat is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting sleeve, and a swing rod is damped and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the positioning seat. A buckle is fixedly connected to one end of the swing rod, and a positioning magnet for adsorbing the slide is installed on the lower surface of the stop. Through the dual positioning design of the fixed component and the moving component, the steel ball and the spring cooperate to achieve a tight clamping between the outer shell and the push rod, avoiding deviation and power transmission loss. Combined with the high-precision characteristics of the screw drive, quantitative dispensing of the drug solution is achieved, improving the accuracy of the synthesis process.

The second cover is installed on the upper surface of the moving seat. The plunger of the syringe is inserted between the moving seat and the second cover. An injection pump body is installed on the side of the mounting plate away from the syringe. A screw is installed at the output end of the injection pump body. A moving block is threaded onto the screw. One side of the moving block slides against the surface of the mounting plate. The end of the connecting frame away from the moving seat is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving block by bolts.
[0007] Preferably, a positioning block is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate near the injection pump body. The upper end of the screw is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the positioning block. The syringe is dually positioned by the fixed component and the moving component.

The first set screw compresses the first spring to push the first ball bearing platform, so that the first steel ball tightly abuts against the syringe shell, ensuring that the shell is stable and does not shift. The moving seat and the second seat cover clamp the syringe plunger. The second spring drives the second steel ball to press the plunger through the second ball bearing platform, ensuring accurate power transmission. After the injection pump body is started, the drive screw rotates, causing the threaded moving block to slide along the surface of the mounting plate. The moving block pulls the moving component to move through the connecting frame, thereby pushing the syringe plunger to realize the quantitative injection of the liquid medicine.

The equipment status is distinguished by color, and steps can be changed and locked in real time, adapting to multiple types of radiopharmaceutical synthesis processes.
[0016] The PLC controller performs logical judgments and closed-loop control, receives the step selection results from the host computer and determines the conditions. Once the conditions are met, it outputs a drive signal. At the same time, it collects real-time data and compares it with the set values, and automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the execution components. The equipment adopts a host computer PLC control architecture. The operator can freely select synthesis steps, start the equipment and set parameters through the host computer interface without relying on PLC engineers to modify the program on-site. The interface distinguishes the equipment status by color and supports real-time changes and confirmation lock of steps, adapting to the synthesis process requirements of different radiopharmaceuticals.
[0017] The sensor array collects flow rate, temperature, and syringe stroke data in real time, providing a precise basis for parameter control. For flow rate and temperature parameters, the operator inputs set values in the corresponding steps. The control system collects operating data in real time through sensors, compares it with the set values, and automatically adjusts the pump speed or heater power to ensure stable process parameters. The syringe control, by setting the origin position, target position, and moving speed, combined with the high-precision characteristics of the screw drive, achieves precise stroke control of the liquid drawing and pushing actions to meet different injection volume requirements.
[0018] The execution components drive the pump, regulate temperature, inject the liquid into the syringe, and open and close the valves.

When the intermediate value conditions set for both the large and small steps are met, it outputs the device drive signal to achieve orderly linkage of components such as pumps, valves, and syringes. At the same time, the system integrates a start-stop self-test function to detect the status of each mechanical structure, sensor, and pipeline connection before synthesis. If any abnormality occurs, an alarm is triggered by an indicator light to ensure the safety and reliability of the synthesis process.
[0019] The PLC controller integrates start / stop self-test functions, detecting the status of mechanical connections, sensors, and pipelines before synthesis. In case of abnormalities, it will alarm via indicator lights. The host computer, in conjunction with the PLC control architecture, supports the free configuration of synthesis steps, equipment, and parameters without requiring engineers to modify the program on-site. Steps can be changed and locked in real time, adapting to the synthesis processes of different radiopharmaceuticals, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.
