Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bone age detection equipment, and in particular to a bone age detection instrument. Background Art

[0002] Bone age is the abbreviation of bone age, which needs to be determined with the help of specific images of bones in X-rays. Bone age represents the true development level of children to a large extent, so it is more accurate to use bone age to determine human maturity than actual age. Clinically, the bone maturity of an individual is compared with a standard atlas. When the bone maturity of an individual is equivalent to a certain age standard atlas, that age is his bone age, which is an indicator for determining bone maturity.

[0003] Bone age testing usually requires taking an X-ray of the left wrist. Doctors use X-rays to observe the development of the ossification centers of the left metacarpal phalanges, carpal bones, and lower end of the radius and ulna to determine the bone age. Bone age can not only determine the biological age of children, but also understand the growth and development potential of children and the trend of sexual maturity at an early stage.

[0004] However, bone age detectors are large in size and difficult to move, and can usually only be used in fixed medical institutions. This not only limits the scope of use of bone age detectors, but also brings inconvenience to patients who need frequent testing. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the situation that traditional bone age detectors are large in size and can only be used in fixed locations, resulting in inconvenience in detection, the present application provides a bone age detector.

[0006] The present application provides a bone age detector, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A bone age detector, comprising

[0008] A transmitting module, wherein a ray generator is disposed at the bottom of the transmitting module and a computer processing unit is also disposed inside the transmitting module;

[0009] A detection module, the detection module is located below the emission module, the detection module is provided with a detector, the detector is directly facing below the ray generator, and the detector is used to receive the X-rays emitted by the ray generator;

[0010] A vertical support frame is arranged on the same side of the transmitting module and the detection module, and the transmitting module is slidably connected to the support frame. The transmitting module can slide along the support frame toward or away from the detection module, and a first locking piece is arranged on one side of the support frame, and the first locking piece is used to lock the position of the transmitting module on the support frame.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the ray generator is facing the detector, and the patient's hand is placed between the transmitting module and the detecting module. At this time, the ray generator emits X-rays to the hand, and the X-rays are received by the detector after passing through the hand. The detector transmits the signal to the computer processing unit for calculation and processing. When the bone age detector is in use, the transmitting module can be moved along the supporting frame away from the detecting module until the distance between the ray generator and the detector meets the detection requirements, and then the position of the transmitting module is locked with the first locking piece. After the detection is completed, the transmitting module can be unlocked and slid back to make the transmitting module close to the detecting module, thereby effectively reducing the storage volume of the bone age detector, facilitating the storage of the bone age detector, and improving the portability of the bone age detector.

[0012] Optionally, the support frame includes a first support frame and a second support frame, the first support frame is perpendicular and fixed to the detection module, one end of the second support frame is rotatably connected to the first support frame, and after rotation, the second support frame can be folded to the side of the first support frame away from the detection module, or overlap with the first support frame in the vertical direction, and the transmitting module is slidably connected to the first support frame and the second support frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the bone age detector is in use, the second support frame is flipped so that the second support frame and the first support frame form a vertical support frame. At this time, the transmitting module can be slid along the support frame until the distance between the transmitting module and the detection module meets the detection requirements; when the bone age detector is finished using, the transmitting module can be moved downward until it is attached to the detection module, and then the second support frame is flipped and folded to the side of the first support frame away from the detection module, so that the height of the support frame is further reduced, thereby further reducing the storage volume of the bone age detector and improving the portability of the bone age detector.

[0014] Optionally, a second locking member is provided between the first support frame and the second support frame, and when the first support frame and the second support frame overlap in the vertical direction, the second locking member is used to lock the position of the second support frame relative to the first support frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after the second support frame is adjusted to a suitable position relative to the first support frame, the position of the second support frame can be locked by the second locking member, thereby improving the supporting strength of the support frame for the transmitting module during operation.

[0016] Optionally, a roller is disposed at the bottom of the first support frame, and a roller is disposed at the bottom of the detection module.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, rollers are provided at the bottom of the first support frame and the bottom of the detection module, so that medical staff can adjust the position of the bone age detector at any time.

[0018] Optionally, a protective curtain is provided between the transmitting module and the detecting module, the protective curtain is foldable, the protective curtain cover is provided outside the ray generator to shield the X-rays emitted by the ray generator, and a detection entrance is provided on the protective curtain.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective curtain can shield the X-rays emitted by the ray generator, isolate the X-rays inside the protective curtain, and prevent the spread of X-rays from causing damage to the surrounding human body. At the same time, the protective curtain can be folded or stretched as the transmitting module moves, so that the protective curtain always keeps shielding the X-rays.

[0020] Optionally, a supporting rib is provided at the bottom of the transmitting module and close to one end of the supporting frame.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the supporting ribs move together with the launching module, and the supporting ribs can provide an upward supporting force to the launching module, so that the launching module can remain stable in a hovering state.

[0022] Optionally, an abutment block is provided at the bottom of the transmitting module, and the length of the abutment block in the vertical direction is greater than the length of the ray generator.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the abutment block in the vertical direction is greater than the length of the ray generator. When the transmitting module is lowered, the abutment block provides an upward supporting force for the transmitting module. At the same time, the abutment block isolates the distance between the transmitting module and the detection module to accommodate the ray generator, thereby reducing the collision with the ray generator.

[0024] Optionally, a backup power supply is provided inside the transmitting module.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the backup power supply can provide backup power for the bone age detector and maintain the detection function of the bone age detector in the event of a power outage.

[0037] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0038] The present application discloses a bone age detector, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The bone age detector includes a transmitting module 1 and a detecting module 2. Both the transmitting module 1 and the detecting module 2 are placed horizontally. The transmitting module 1 is directly above the detecting module 2. A vertical supporting frame 3 is provided on the same side of the transmitting module 1 and the detecting module 2. A foldable protective curtain 4 is provided between the transmitting module 1 and the detecting module 2. The protective curtain 4 surrounds itself to form a closed area for detection. One end of the protective curtain 4 is detachably connected to the bottom of the transmitting module 1, and the other end of the protective curtain 4 is detachably connected to the top of the detecting module 2. The detachable connection method can be snap-on. The protective curtain 4 can be made of radiation-proof material, or a coating for shielding radiation can be applied on the protective curtain 4. A detection entrance 41 is provided at one end of the protective curtain 4 away from the supporting frame 3. The patient can pass the hand through the detection entrance 41 and place the hand in the detection area formed by the protective curtain 4 for detection. The detection entrance 41 is provided at one end close to the detecting module 2, so that the patient can put the hand into the detection area surrounded by the protective curtain 4.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A ray generator 11 is fixed at the bottom center of the transmitting module 1. The ray generator 11 protrudes downward from the transmitting module 1. The ray generator 11 can emit X-rays vertically downward. The protective curtain 4 is arranged around the ray generator 11. The detection area formed by the protective curtain 4 covers and seals the X-rays emitted by the ray generator 11. The protective curtain 4 can shield the X-rays emitted by the ray generator 11, isolate the X-rays inside the protective curtain 4, and prevent the spread of X-rays from causing damage to the surrounding human body.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a detector 21 is fixed at the top of the detection module 2 facing the ray generator 11. When performing bone age detection, the X-rays emitted by the ray generator 11 pass through the patient's hand and are received by the detector 21. A computer processing unit is fixed inside the transmitting module 1. The computer processing unit can be composed of a circuit board capable of signal transmission and a computer chip capable of calculation and processing. The computer processing unit is electrically connected to the detector 21. At the same time, a display screen 12 is fixed on the side wall of the transmitting module 1. The display screen 12 is electrically connected to the computer processing unit. The detector 21 transmits the collected information to the computer chip through the circuit board for calculation and analysis, and finally presents an image on the display screen 12. The bone age detector can also be connected to an external printer to print the final image through the printer. A camera can also be fixed at the bottom of the transmitting module 1. The camera can transmit the real-time image of the hand to the display screen 12, which is convenient for medical staff to observe.

[0041] A backup power supply may also be fixed in the transmitting module 1. The backup power supply may be composed of a high-power battery, etc. The backup power supply may provide the bone age detector with the necessary detection power for detection in a power outage state, so that the bone age detector can still complete the bone age detection operation in a power outage state. When the bone age detector has external power supply, it is preferred to use the external power supply through the power cord to perform bone age detection.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The support frame 3 includes a first support frame 31 and a second support frame 32, wherein the first support frame 31 is placed vertically, and one end of the detection module 2 is fixed to the side wall of the first support frame 31 near the bottom, so that the detection module 2 and the first support frame 31 form a whole, and the detection module 2 is perpendicular to the first support frame 31. The second support frame 32 is rotatably connected to the top of the first support frame 31, and a hinge 5 is arranged between the first support frame 31 and the second support frame 32, and the hinge 5 is respectively fixed to the first support frame 31 and the second support frame 32, so that the second support frame 32 can rotate relative to the first support frame 31.

[0043] When the second support frame 32 rotates to the vertical direction and forms a vertical support frame 3 together with the first support frame 31, in this state, the second support frame 32 is fixed with a second connecting plate 34 at one end close to the first support frame 31, and the second connecting plate 34 extends vertically downward to one side of the first support frame 31. A positioning hole is formed through the second connecting plate 34, and a second locking member 6 is inserted into the positioning hole. The first support frame 31 is provided with a locking hole at a position corresponding to the positioning hole on the second connecting plate 34. When the positioning hole corresponds to the locking hole, the second locking member 6 can be inserted into the positioning hole and the locking hole at the same time. The second locking member 6 can be a fixing bolt, and a corresponding internal thread can be formed in the locking hole. The second locking member 6 locks the position of the second support frame 32 through the internal thread in the locking hole, so that the second support frame 32 is fixed on the top of the first support frame 31 and maintains a vertical state. Two vertical and spaced guide grooves 33 are formed at the ends of the first support frame 31 and the second support frame 32 close to the detector 21, and the guide grooves 33 are connected in the vertical direction. A slider 13 is fixed to one end of the transmitting module 1 close to the supporting frame 3 . The slider 13 is slidably connected in the guide groove 33 , so that the transmitting module 1 can reciprocate in the vertical direction along the guide groove 33 .

[0044] A first connecting plate 16 is fixed on the side wall of the transmitting module 1 close to the second supporting frame 32. The first connecting plate 16 extends horizontally to one side of the second supporting frame 32. A positioning hole is formed through the first connecting plate 16. A first locking member 8 is inserted into the positioning hole. The second supporting frame 32 is provided with a locking hole at a position corresponding to the positioning hole on the first connecting plate 16. When the positioning hole corresponds to the locking hole, the first locking member 8 can be inserted into both the positioning hole and the locking hole. The first locking member 8 can also be a fixing bolt, and a corresponding internal thread can be provided in the locking hole. When an external force is applied to move the transmitting module 1 to a suitable height, the position of the transmitting module 1 can be locked by the first locking member 8.

[0045] When testing is required, the second support frame 32 can be flipped to a vertical position located at the top of the first support frame 31. At this time, the position of the second support frame 32 is locked by the second locking member 6, and then the transmitting module 1 is lifted by applying external force until the transmitting module 1 rises along the guide groove 33 to a height suitable for testing and stops. At this time, the height position of the transmitting module 1 is locked by the first locking member 8, and the protective curtain 4 is stretched as the transmitting module 1 is lifted during this process. When the test is completed, the first locking member 8 is first released from the locking of the transmitting module 1, so that the first locking member 8 descends until it falls on the detection module 2. The protective curtain 4 is folded as the transmitting module 1 descends during this process. At this time, the second locking member 6 is released from the locking of the second support frame 32, and the second support frame 32 is flipped and folded to the side of the first support frame 31 away from the detection module 2. At this time, the storage volume of the bone age detector can be further reduced, effectively improving the portability of the bone age detector.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A roller 7 is fixed to the bottom of the first support frame 31 and the bottom of the detection module 2. At the same time, a roller 7 can also be fixed to the end of the second support frame 32 away from the first support frame 31. When the bone age detector needs to be moved, medical staff can move the bone age detector at any time using the roller 7.

[0047] A supporting rib 14 is fixed at the bottom of the transmitting module 1, and the supporting rib 14 is also fixed to the slider 13. The supporting rib 14 moves with the transmitting module 1. The supporting rib 14 can provide an upward supporting force for the transmitting module 1, so that the transmitting module 1 can remain stable in a hovering state, thereby improving the stability of the transmitting module 1 during operation.

[0048] An abutment block 15 is fixed at the bottom of the transmitting module 1. The abutment block 15 is located on the outside of the ray generator 11. The length of the abutment block 15 in the vertical direction is greater than the length of the ray generator 11. When the transmitting module 1 is lowered, the abutment block 15 isolates the distance between the transmitting module 1 and the detection module 2 to accommodate the ray generator 11, thereby reducing the collision with the ray generator 11 and providing an upward supporting force for the transmitting module 1.

[0049] The implementation principle of a bone age detector in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the second support frame 32 can be flipped relative to the first support frame 31, so that the second support frame 32 can form a vertical support frame 3 together with the first support frame 31, and the support frame 3 can be used for the launch module 1 to be raised and lowered, so that the launch module 1 can be switched between working and storage states. After the launch module 1 is lowered, the storage volume of the bone age detector can be reduced. The second support frame 32 can also be flipped and folded, which further reduces the storage volume of the bone age detector and improves the portability of the bone age detector.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
