Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of MRI examination auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to an adaptive body positioning and anti-movement auxiliary device for MRI examination. Background Technology
[0002] MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is a commonly used non-invasive imaging technique in clinical medicine. With its advantages of being radiation-free, providing high-resolution images, and offering excellent soft tissue resolution, it is widely used to diagnose diseases in various parts of the body, including the brain, spine, limbs, and abdominal organs. During an MRI examination, patient stability is crucial for ensuring image quality. If the patient experiences limb movement, body shift, or head displacement, it can directly lead to artifacts, blurring, and ghosting in the images, severely impacting the doctor's accurate diagnosis of lesions and potentially requiring a second examination, increasing patient examination time and medical resource consumption.
[0003] Currently, the positioning and immobilization devices used in clinical MRI examinations are relatively simple in structure, mostly consisting of simple straps, fixation plates, and foam limiting pads. These structures have several drawbacks: First, the fixation method is crude, unable to adapt to patients of different heights, body types, and postures, resulting in poor fit and a tendency for loose fixation leading to displacement, or excessive tightness compressing the patient's body, making it difficult to balance comfort and stability. Second, their functionality is limited, only providing basic positioning and immobilization, unable to allow for precise micro-adjustments to the patient's position during the examination, making them unsuitable for the demands of refined imaging. Third, the separate fixation of multiple body parts (head, trunk, limbs) is poor, lacking a systematic positioning and immobilization structure. The fixation of each part is independent and lacks coordination, easily leading to local displacement affecting the overall imaging effect. Fourth, most fixation structures are fixed, with poor adaptability, unable to accommodate different limb lengths and positioning angles, and the disassembly and adjustment operations are cumbersome, significantly reducing examination efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop an adaptive body positioning and anti-movement auxiliary device for MRI examinations. Summary of the Invention

A locking block is movably disposed inside the inner groove, and the locking block engages with a locking groove on the outside of the sliding column. A round rod is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block, and a second spring is sleeved on the outside of the round rod. The two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the locking block and the inner wall of the inner groove, respectively. The end of the round rod away from the locking block extends to the outside of the column and slides through it. A pull ring is fixedly fitted to the outer end of the round rod.
[0012] In order to solve the problem that the sliding block has no fixed limit after adjustment and is prone to slippage during inspection, which leads to the fixed displacement of the limbs, the bottom of the short sliding block groove and the long sliding block groove are evenly provided with several limiting holes, and the limiting holes are inserted and matched with the bottom end of the guide post.
[0013] To address the issues of low head positioning accuracy, poor cushioning and protection, and the inability to adaptively adjust the tightness of the straps, the head positioning mechanism includes a base shell fixedly installed at the bottom of the examination bed.

[0025] See Figures 1-15As shown, an adaptive body positioning and anti-movement auxiliary device for MRI examination according to the present invention includes a body 1, an examination bed 2 is provided on one side of the body 1, a body positioning fine adjustment mechanism is provided at the middle position above the examination bed 2, a head positioning mechanism is provided on the side of the examination bed 2 near the body 1, and a limb positioning mechanism is provided on the side of the examination bed 2 away from the body 1. The body position fixing fine adjustment mechanism includes a slot 10 in the middle of the examination bed 2. A micro-moving plate 11 is provided inside the slot 10. Side sliders 52 are fixedly installed on both sides of the micro-moving plate 11. Side slider grooves 53 matching the side sliders 52 are opened on both sides of the inner side wall of the slot 10. The side sliders 52 are slidably assembled inside the side slider grooves 53. Two through-type sliding plate grooves 54 are symmetrically opened above the micro-moving plate 11. A mounting shell 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the micro-moving plate 11. A body position fixing component is provided at the bottom of the micro-moving plate 11 and inside the mounting shell 23. A fine adjustment component is provided at the bottom of the mounting shell 23. The fine-tuning assembly includes a base frame 29 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting housing 23. A rotating rod 30 is rotatably connected inside the base frame 29 via bearings. One end of the rotating rod 30 passes through the side wall of the base frame 29 and extends to the outside. A first gear 47 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating rod 30. A second side box 32 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the base frame 29 near the first gear 47. A first sliding plate 45 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the base frame 29. A first toothed plate 46 is fixedly assembled on the side of the first sliding plate 45 near the first gear 47, and the first toothed plate 46 meshes with the first gear 47. Two parallel first sliding rods 44 are fixedly mounted inside the second side box 32. The first sliding rods 44 pass through the first sliding plate 45 and are slidably connected to it. A second cylinder 33 is mounted on the outer side of the second side box 32. The output end of the second cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to the first sliding plate 45. The micro-moving plate 11 is equipped with traction units on both sides. Each traction unit includes two connecting ropes 26. One end of each connecting rope 26 is fixedly connected to the micro-moving plate 11, and the other end of each connecting rope 26 is fixedly connected to a coil 31. Both coils 31 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 30. A through groove 22 is provided at the bottom of the examination bed 2 corresponding to the position of the connecting rope 26. The through groove 22 connects the bottom of the examination bed 2 to the empty groove 10. The connecting rope 26 passes through the through groove 22. A second pulley 43 is rotatably connected to the inside of the through groove 22 through a bearing. The connecting rope 26 slides in contact with the surface of the second pulley 43. A first pulley 28 is provided on both sides of the mounting shell 23 corresponding to the position of the connecting rope 26. The connecting rope 26 slides in contact with the surface of the first pulley 28. A side frame 27 is connected to one side of the first pulley 28 through a bearing. The side frame 27 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting shell 23.
[0026] Working principle: When the equipment is working, the second cylinder 33 drives the first sliding plate 45 to slide horizontally along the first sliding rod 44. The first sliding plate 45 drives the first toothed plate 46 to move synchronously, and through tooth meshing transmission, drives the first gear 47 to rotate forward or backward, thereby driving the rotating rod 30 inside the base frame 29 to rotate synchronously. When the rotating rod 30 rotates, it drives the two sets of coils 31 fixed on the outside to rotate synchronously, realizing the linkage effect of winding the connecting rope 26 on one side and unwinding the connecting rope 26 on the other side. During the sliding process of the connecting rope 26, the first pulley 28 and the second pulley 43 play the roles of guiding, reducing friction and limiting the connecting rope 26, avoiding direct friction and jamming between the connecting rope 26 and the equipment structure, and standardizing the traction path. Finally, the traction force of the connecting rope 26 drives the micro-moving plate 11 to move smoothly and slightly left and right along the side slider groove 53 with the help of the side slider 52, realizing precise micro-adjustment of the patient's trunk position, meeting the position adjustment requirements of MRI fine imaging, with smooth sliding and high adjustment accuracy throughout the process, without any deviation or jamming problems.
[0027] The body positioning fixation assembly includes two sliding plates 34, each corresponding to a sliding plate groove 54. A limiting frame 42 is fixedly installed at the top of each sliding plate 34, with a limiting block 41 engaging inside the limiting frame 42. A long strap 6 is fixedly connected between the two limiting blocks 41. Two connecting plates 36 are fixedly assembled between the bottoms of the two sliding plates 34. Two horizontal plates 37 are symmetrically fixedly installed between the two sides of the middle of the two sliding plates 34. Each horizontal plate 37 has a groove on its surface, and a rotating column 40 is slidably assembled inside the groove of each horizontal plate 37. A connecting arm 39 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating column 40, and a connecting rod 38 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting arm 39 away from the rotating column 40. The connecting rod 38 passes through the mounting shell 23 and is rotatably connected to the mounting shell 23 via a bearing. The outer side of the connecting rod 38 is fixed... A second gear 51 is fitted onto the mounting shell 23, and a first side box 24 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting shell 23 corresponding to the second gear 51. A second sliding plate 49 is provided inside the first side box 24, and a second toothed plate 50 is fixedly assembled on the side of the second sliding plate 49 near the second gear 51. The second toothed plate 50 meshes with the second gear 51. Two parallel second sliding rods 48 are fixedly installed inside the first side box 24. The second sliding rods 48 pass through the second sliding plate 49 and are slidably connected to the second sliding plate 49. A first cylinder 25 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first side box 24. The output end of the first cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to the second sliding plate 49. Two sliding rods 35 are fixedly installed between the micro-moving plate 11 and the mounting shell 23 at positions corresponding to the connecting plate 36. The sliding rods 35 pass through the connecting plate 36 and are slidably connected to the connecting plate 36.
[0028] Working principle: After the patient lies down and initial positioning is achieved, the first cylinder 25 is activated, driving the second sliding plate 49 to slide horizontally along the second sliding rod 48. The second sliding plate 49 drives the second toothed plate 50 to move synchronously, driving the second gear 51 to rotate through meshing transmission, which in turn drives the connecting rod 38 and connecting arm 39 to rotate synchronously. When the connecting arm 39 rotates, it drives the rotating column 40 to slide along the groove of the horizontal plate 37, pushing the horizontal plate 37 downward as a whole through the lever transmission structure. The horizontal plate 37 drives the sliding plate 34 to slide vertically and smoothly down along the sliding rod 35. The sliding rod 35 effectively limits the sliding deviation of the sliding plate 34, ensuring operational stability. When the sliding plate 34 slides down, it drives the top limiting frame 42, limiting block 41 and long strap 6 to move downward synchronously, so that the long strap 6 fits the patient's waist, hips and torso, achieving flexible wrapping and fixation. The downward pressure and tightness of the long strap 6 can be precisely adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction stroke of the first cylinder 25 to suit the fixation needs of patients of different weights and body types. At the same time, the limiting block 41 and the limiting frame 42 can be detachably snapped together, which facilitates the disassembly, replacement and cleaning of the long strap 6.
[0029] The limb positioning mechanism includes several sets of limb fixing components, each including a sliding block 55. The top of the body 1 has two short sliding block grooves 12 and two long sliding block grooves 13 symmetrically arranged. The sliding block 55 is slidably fitted inside the short sliding block grooves 12 and the long sliding block grooves 13. The top and bottom of both side walls of the sliding block 55 are rotatably connected to side support wheels 56 via bearings. The side support wheels 56 roll in contact with the top and bottom inner walls of the short sliding block grooves 12 and the long sliding block grooves 13, respectively. A column 72 is fixedly installed at the top of the 5-axis. A slip ring 63 is rotatably mounted on the top of the column 72. A telescopic corrugated pipe 58 is fixedly connected to the top of the slip ring 63. A top plate 59 is fixedly installed on the top of the telescopic corrugated pipe 58. A handle 61 is fixedly mounted on the top of the top plate 59. A silicone pressure block 60 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the top plate 59 and inside the telescopic corrugated pipe 58. A guide post 64 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the sliding post 62. The guide post 64 passes through the sliding block 55 and is connected to the sliding block. 55 Sliding connection; a first spring 65 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding column 62, the top end of the first spring 65 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding column 62, and the bottom end of the first spring 65 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sliding block 55; several full-circle slots are opened on the outer side of the sliding column 62 in the vertical direction, and a limiting component is provided inside the column body 72 on one side corresponding to the sliding column 62. The limiting component includes an inner groove 69 opened inside the column body 72, and a locking block 17 is movably disposed inside the inner groove 69. The locking block 17 engages with the locking block 55 on the outer side of the sliding column 62. The slot and buckle are engaged; a round rod 70 is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block 17, and a second spring 71 is sleeved on the outside of the round rod 70. The two ends of the second spring 71 are fixedly connected to the locking block 17 and the inner wall of the inner groove 69, respectively; the end of the round rod 70 away from the locking block 17 extends to the outside of the column 72 and slides with the column 72, and a pull ring 57 is fixedly assembled at the outer end of the round rod 70. Several limiting holes 16 are evenly opened at the bottom of the short sliding block groove 12 and the long sliding block groove 13, and the limiting holes 16 are inserted into the bottom end of the guide post 64.
[0030] Working principle: When immobilizing a patient's limbs, firstly, based on the position of the patient's limbs, push the sliding block 55. Through the rolling action of the side support wheel 56, the sliding block 55 slides smoothly along the short sliding block groove 12 or the long sliding block groove 13, quickly adjusting the horizontal position of the limb immobilization to adapt to different limb lengths and placement requirements. After the position adjustment is completed, press down on the handle 61, causing the top plate 59, sliding column 62, and guide column 64 to move down synchronously. The telescopic corrugated tube 58 is compressed and folded, and the first spring 65 is compressed and stores energy. The silicone pressure block 60 at the bottom of the top plate 59 adheres to the surface of the patient's limbs. The bottom of the silicone pressure block 60 is concave. After adhering to the limbs, it achieves flexible pressure fixation and stops rotation. During the downward movement, the locking block 17 inside the column 72 automatically engages with the corresponding slot of the sliding column 62 under the elastic force of the second spring 71, achieving height locking and preventing springback loosening. Simultaneously, the bottom end of the guide column 64 inserts into the corresponding limiting hole 16, achieving fixed-point locking of the sliding block 55 and completely preventing horizontal slippage. The slip ring 63 can rotate the top structure 360°, flexibly adjusting the pressing angle of the silicone pressure block 60 to adapt to different limb positioning postures. After inspection, pulling the pull ring 57 causes the locking block 17 to disengage from the slot via the round rod 70, and the first spring 65 returns to its original position, allowing for quick lifting of the silicone pressure block 60 and release of the limb fixation. The operation is convenient and efficient.
[0031] The head positioning mechanism includes a bottom shell 18 fixedly installed at the bottom of the examination bed 2.

A bracket 66 is fixedly installed on the outside of the U-shaped connecting plate 4, and a silicone positioning pad 67 is fixedly fitted on the inside of the bracket 66. A lifting lug 68 is fixedly provided on both sides of the bracket 66. A short strap 5 is fixedly connected to one of the lifting lugs 68, and the short strap 5 passes through the other lifting lug 68 and is fixedly fastened by Velcro. A limit rod 15 is fixedly fitted on one side of the U-shaped connecting plate 4. A sliding hole is opened on the examination bed 2 at the position corresponding to the limit rod 15. The limit rod 15 extends into the sliding hole and is slidably connected to the sliding hole.
[0032] Working principle: After the patient lies down, medical staff rotate the hand crank 20, which drives the lead screw 19 to rotate. Utilizing the threaded transmission between the lead screw 19 and the threaded plate 21, the threaded plate 21 slides horizontally along the inner wall of the bottom shell 18. Simultaneously, the limiting rod 15 slides synchronously along the sliding hole of the examination bed 2, limiting the rotational displacement of the U-shaped connecting plate 4 and ensuring accurate displacement. The threaded plate 21 drives the U-shaped connecting plate 4 and the bracket 66 to move under the patient's head, allowing the patient's head to fit snugly on top of the silicone positioning pad 67. The silicone material provides good cushioning and fit, improving patient comfort while achieving initial head positioning. Then, the short strap 5 is threaded through the two side lugs 68 and secured with Velcro. The tightness of the strap can be adjusted adaptively according to the patient's head circumference, achieving stable head wrapping and fixation, effectively preventing head movement and displacement during the examination.
[0033] The bottom of the examination bed 2 is fixedly installed with a protective shell 3, the bottom of the protective shell 3 is equipped with a slide 7, the bottom of the slide 7 is slidably equipped with a slide rail 9, and the bottom of the slide rail 9 is fixedly installed with a base 8.
[0034] Working Principle: The base 8 provides stable support for the entire device, ensuring its stable placement. The protective shell 3 encloses and protects the transmission and connection structures at the bottom of the examination bed 2, preventing dust and debris from entering the device and causing jamming or wear, while also improving the safety of the device. When patients enter or exit the examination station or when the device is being aligned, the slide 7 can slide smoothly along the slide rail 9, causing the examination bed 2 to move horizontally as a whole. This allows for precise alignment, flexible movement, smooth sliding, and high stability, meeting the alignment requirements of MRI equipment.
