DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present invention include all changes, modifications, and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0021] The breast examination compression device according to an embodiment of the utility model is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the breast examination compression device of the embodiment of the utility model may include a breast machine 20, a compression plate 10 and a wrinkle removal mechanism 30.

[0023] The compression plate 10 is arranged on the breast machine 20 .

[0024] It should be noted that the mammography machine 20 described in this embodiment includes a high voltage generator, an X-ray tube, a control part, an imaging chain part and a mechanical part, etc. The mammography machine 20 can be used for X-ray examination of female breasts.

[0025] The breast machine 20 can control the compression plate 10 to move, so that the compression plate 10 moves to compress the breast on the support filter plate on the breast machine 20, thereby realizing the camera operation of the breast.

[0026] The wrinkle-removing mechanism 30 is detachably disposed on the compression plate 10 . The wrinkle-removing mechanism 30 may include a mounting seat 31 , a base 32 , two push plates 35 , and a driving member 34 .

[0027] Among them, the mounting seat 31 is detachably arranged on one side of the compression plate 10, the base 32 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting seat 31 through a telescopic member 33, and the two push plates 35 are slidably arranged on both sides of the bottom surface of the compression plate 10, and the push plates 35 are inclined. One end of the push plate 35 is rotatably arranged on the corresponding base 32 through an axis body 40, and the driving member 34 is arranged on the base 32, and the output ends of the driving member 34 are respectively connected to the two axis bodies 40.

[0028] It should be noted that the telescopic member 33 described in this embodiment is a spring, inflatable rubber, etc. The telescopic member 33 can be telescoped in time when the distance between the mounting seat 31 and the base 32 changes, so as to cooperate with the compression plate 10 and the push plate 35 to perform wrinkle removal compression operations on the breast.

[0029] It is understandable that, during the sliding process of the two push plates 35 on the bottom surface of the compression plate 10, the compression plate 10 can remove the skin wrinkles generated on the epidermis of the breast while compressing the breast, thereby reducing the burden on the operator and improving the consistency of imaging. At the same time, the operating efficiency is significantly improved, and the adverse effects of human factors on the imaging quality are reduced.

[0030] Specifically, during the actual breast compression operation, the relevant personnel first place the examinee's breast on the support filter plate of the breast machine 20, and then control the compression plate 10 to move toward the breast through the breast machine 20.

[0031] When the two push plates 35 contact the breast, the two push plates 35 are driven to rotate relative to each other through the driving member 34, and at the same time, the compression plate 10 presses down the breast. During this process, the two push plates 35 rotate to both sides to remove wrinkles on the upper surface of the breast.

[0032] And because the push plate 35 is in contact with the breast, the vertical distance between the compression plate 10 and the push plate 35 decreases during the downward pressing process. At this time, the push plate 35 and the base 32 drive the telescopic member 33 to contract, so that the shaft 40 drives the push plate 35 to rotate, so that the push plate 35 is tilted to a horizontal state. During the process, the vertical projection height of the push plate 35 is continuously reduced, and at the same time, the distance between the compression plate 10 and the breast is continuously reduced.

[0033] When the push plate 35 rotates to separate from the breast, the compression plate 10 contacts the breast. At this time, the wrinkle removal mechanism 30 completes the wrinkle removal operation on the upper epidermis of the breast, reducing the burden on the operator and improving the consistency of imaging.

[0034] Finally, after the breast machine 20 controls the compression plate 10 to apply a certain pressure to the breast, the breast machine 20 can perform a camera operation on the breast located between the compression plate 10 and the supporting filter plate.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, a groove 321 is provided on one side of the base 32 , and the driving member 34 is disposed in the groove 321 . The driving member 34 may include a first driving component 341 , a rack 342 and an incomplete gear 343 .

[0036] The output end of the first driving component 341 is connected to the rack 342 , the rack 342 is slidably disposed in the groove 321 , and two incomplete gears 343 are respectively meshed and disposed on both sides of the rack 342 symmetrically, and the two incomplete gears 343 are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding shaft 40 .

[0037] It should be noted that the first driving component 341 described in this embodiment is a reduction motor, a servo motor, etc. The first driving component 341 can drive the rack 342 to move linearly, so that the rack 342 drives the incomplete gear 343 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the two push plates 35.

[0038] It can be understood that when the push plate 35 is tilted and rotated under the action of the compression plate 10 , the shaft body 40 rotates on the incomplete gear 343 .

[0039] Specifically, when the relevant personnel drive the two push plates 35 to rotate relative to each other through the driving member 34, the first driving member 341 is used to drive the rack 342 to move linearly, so that the rack 342 drives the incomplete gear 343 to rotate, and the incomplete gear 343 drives the push plates 35 to rotate through the shaft 40, thereby realizing the rotation of the two push plates 35, so that the two push plates 35 can remove wrinkles on the epidermis of the breast.

[0040] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the incomplete gear 343 is movably arranged in the groove 321 through the vertical rod 50. The arranged vertical rod 50 can limit the incomplete gear 343. When the rack 342 drives the incomplete gear 343 to rotate, the incomplete gear 343 can rotate with the vertical rod 50 as the center.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of mounting holes 311 are provided on the mounting seat 31 , and the provided mounting holes 311 are helpful to install the mounting seat 31 on the compression plate 10 .

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, a buffer layer 60 is provided at the lower side of the push plate 35. The buffer layer 60 can provide buffering for the movement of the push plate 35 on the breast, thereby preventing the breast from being damaged.

[0043] In summary, the breast examination compression device of the embodiment of the utility model can remove the skin wrinkles generated on the epidermis of the breast while compressing the breast through the compression plate equipped with the wrinkle removal mechanism, thereby reducing the burden on the operator and improving the consistency of imaging. At the same time, it significantly improves the operating efficiency and reduces the adverse effects of human factors on the imaging quality.
