[0002] Usually, a patient's tumor will go through multiple treatment courses, and each treatment may use one or two sets of collimators; when a hospital uses a stereoscopic gamma-ray whole body treatment system for radiotherapy, each radiation treatment can use up to two sets of collimators in the collimator. The two sets of collimators are used by the hospital's radiotherapists to make radiotherapy plans based on the patient's tumor conditions. The radiation dose in the radiotherapy plan is the cumulative dose calculated by the equipment's radiation source and the collimators used, thereby achieving the treatment of the tumor. Therefore, in radiotherapy, the collimator must be installed according to the model selected in the treatment plan;

[0003] In the existing three-dimensional gamma-ray whole-body treatment system, the collimators have always been installed manually. Only two groups of collimators can be placed at each installation. Each group of collimators is designed to have 18 collimators, and each collimator focuses on the same spherical center point. Each group of collimators can be placed in the upper collimator position or the lower collimator position; and the selection of collimators and manual replacement of collimators have always been a troublesome task. There is also the risk of wrong installation and missing installation; the current risk control is mainly to store them in groups by collimator, and to conduct double inspections and repeated confirmations during installation, and to fully rely on operators and inspectors to determine the model of the collimator.

[0023] The base 100 is used to support and connect the whole device. The bearing inner ring assembly 700 and the bearing outer ring 600 can be combined into a bearing structure, so that the bearing inner ring assembly 700 can rotate at any angle in the bearing outer ring 600, and the collimator 500 is fixed to the inner wall of the bearing inner ring assembly 700, so that when the bearing inner ring assembly 700 rotates, the collimator 500 can be driven to rotate together. When the collimator 500 is in a non-treatment state, it is in the initial position, and the initial positions are respectively 0° direction, 90° direction and 270° direction;

[0024] A bed 200 is horizontally arranged inside the inner ring of the bearing, and slide seats 300 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom surface of the bed 200, and the bed 200 and the slide seats 300 are slidably connected, and the slide seats 300 are installed and fixed on the surface of the lifting mechanism, and a color recognition device 400 is arranged on the surface of the slide seat 300;

[0025] The bed 200 can move along the Y-axis direction through the sliding connection between the bed 200 and the slide 300, and the slide 300 is fixed to the surface of the lifting mechanism, which can be fixed on the ground or the base 100, not shown in the figure. The lifting mechanism can be used to move the bed 200 in the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, thereby realizing the three-dimensional movement of the bed 200;

[0026] The color recognition device 400 includes a slide rail 406; the slide rail 406 is arranged on the surface of a slide seat 300, a slider 407 is arranged on the surface of the slide rail 406, and the slider 407 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail 406, a support wheel 405 is arranged near the end position of the surface of the slide rail 406, the support wheel 405 is arranged on the surface of the slide seat 300, and the end surface of the slide rail 406 is fixedly connected with a mounting bracket 403 by bolts, and a positioning motor 402 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting bracket 403, and the positioning motor 402 is arranged horizontally;

[0027] The surface of the mounting bracket 403 is provided with a through hole, and a connecting pin 401 is vertically arranged inside the through hole. The output end of the positioning motor 402 passes through the connecting pin 401 and is fixedly connected to the connecting pin 401 through a positioning pin 404.

[0028] A support wheel 405 is preferably arranged near the end of the surface of the slide rail 406, so that the slide rail 406 can maintain horizontal linear motion in the Y-axis direction and reduce the resistance generated during the linear motion. After the positioning motor 402 is started, the connecting pin 401 is driven to move through the output end of the positioning motor 402, so that the slide rail 406 and the bed 200 move together in the Y-axis direction.

[0029] A shielding fixed cover 408 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the end of the slide rail 406, and a distance sensor 409 and a color recognition sensor 410 are respectively fixedly mounted inside the shielding fixed cover 408;

[0030] The shielding fixed cover 408 is made of tungsten alloy. On the one hand, the shielding fixed cover 408 prevents the distance sensor 409 and the color recognition sensor 410 from being exposed to gamma rays and shortening their lifespan when not in operation. On the other hand, it serves as a mounting bracket 403 for the color recognition sensor 410 and the distance sensor 409.

[0032] The host control system 800 includes a computer host 801 and a control module 802 ; the color recognition device 400 is electrically connected to an input end of the control module 802 , and an output end of the control module 802 is electrically connected to the computer host 801 .

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a gamma knife collimator identification device of the present invention has the following working process: the treatment plan in the computer host 801 presets the collimator model used in this treatment, and when the computer host 801 or the control module 802 issues an instruction, the collimator inspection will be performed in the following order:

[0034] 1. The bed 200 will return to the origin position of the collimator detection according to the program;

[0035] 2. The positioning motor 402 receives the instruction and rotates 90°;

[0036] 3. The collimator 500 rotates clockwise to the collimator inspection position A;

[0037] 4. The bed 200 moves to the collimator inspection position A according to the running track set during installation, and returns the recognized color signal to the control module 802 and the computer host 801;

[0038] 5. The computer host 801 compares the returned signal with the preset color code of the treatment plan. If they are inconsistent, an error is reported, an audible and visual alarm command is issued, and an abnormal processing state is entered. If no error is reported, the next step of detection is carried out until no detection is completed and no alarm is issued;

[0039] 6. When there is no abnormality in the detection of the collimator inspection position A, the color recognition sensor 410 stops until the collimator 500 rotates clockwise to the collimator inspection position B, and then performs detection in the reverse direction according to the set trajectory;

[0040] 7. Complete the inspection of all collimators at collimator inspection position C and collimator inspection position D according to the above steps.

[0041] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a main control button. Since the device matched with the control button is a common device and belongs to the existing common knowledge technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described here.

[0042] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
