Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of head fixing devices, in particular to a head fixing device used for oral cavity CT shooting. Background Art

[0002] Oral CT collects data in a spiral manner around a volume of the human body. The essential difference between oral CT and conventional CT is that the former obtains three-dimensional information, while the latter obtains two-dimensional information. Oral CT has improved the scanning speed, has a wide scanning coverage, and collects volume data without gaps, which is convenient for image reconstruction in various ways and angles, and can be reconstructed arbitrarily and retrospectively. Oral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technology includes multi-plane reconstruction method, maximum density projection method, surface shadow display method and volume rendering method, etc. Different reconstruction methods are selected according to different parts, lesions and clinical requirements.

[0003] When the existing device takes a patient's oral CT scan, the patient is required to maintain a sitting or standing position. When the patient is unable to maintain a sitting or standing position, it is easy for the patient's head to rotate or shift during the shooting process, resulting in poor CT film quality, which greatly increases the difficulty of oral CT shooting and reduces the efficiency of oral CT shooting.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new head fixing device for oral CT imaging to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] In the specific implementation process, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the head fixing device for oral CT imaging includes a backrest 2 located at one side of an oral CT machine 1, a fixing plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the backrest 2, a headrest pad 18 for placing the head is also provided on the top of the backrest 2, an arc-shaped plate 4 and a flexible belt 5 for supporting the head and neck are respectively provided on the fixing plate 3, a slide groove 6 for the flexible belt 5 to slide is opened on the arc-shaped plate 4, and a locking component for driving the flexible belt 5 to slide along the slide groove 6 is also provided on one side of the fixing plate 3.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, reference Figure 3-Figure 8The locking assembly includes a first arc frame 7, a second arc frame 8, and a pressure block 9. The second arc frame 8 and the first arc frame 7 are respectively fixed to the flexible belt 5 and one end of the fixed plate 3. One end of the second arc frame 8 is located in the inner cavity of the first arc frame 7. The top of the first arc frame 7 is provided with a movable groove 10 for the pressure block 9 to move. The first arc frame 7 is provided with a plurality of tooth blocks 11 on both sides of the top of the movable groove 10. The bottom of the pressure block 9 is provided with a tooth groove 12 matching the tooth block 11. The first arc frame 7 is also provided with a pressing assembly for pushing the activity. The second arc frame 8 is inserted into the inner cavity of the first arc frame 7, so that the second arc frame 8 moves in an arc shape inside the first arc frame 7, thereby changing the size of the flexible belt 5 and the arc plate 4.

[0028] It should be noted that the first arc frame 7 and one end of the flexible belt 5 are hinged. Specifically, a fixed connecting rod is provided on the first arc frame 7, and a connecting seat is provided on the top of the flexible belt 5. One end of the fixed connecting rod is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting seat through an axial rod, so that the first arc frame 7 can drive the flexible belt 5 to slide in the slide groove 6 when it is contracted.

[0029] Specifically, the pressing assembly includes a pressing handle 13, one end of which has a protrusion, and the protruding end of the pressing handle 13 is fitted on the top of the pressing block 9. The protruding end of the pressing handle 13 is hinged with a lifting rod 14, and the end of the lifting rod 14 away from the pressing handle 13 passes through the first arc frame 7 and the second arc frame 8 respectively, and the bottom of the lifting rod 14 is fitted with the bottom of the second arc frame 8. The pressing handle 13 is rotated so that the part with the protruding end squeezes the pressing block 9 to move downward, so that the tooth groove 12 at the bottom of the pressing block 9 is engaged with the tooth block 11. It should be noted that the tooth groove 12 at the bottom of the pressing block 9 matches the tooth direction of the tooth block 11, and the engagement is completed by the meshing of the two tooth grooves 12. When the two tooth grooves 12 are disengaged, the first arc frame 7 and the second arc frame 8 can slide relative to each other.

[0030] A connecting tube 15 is provided inside the second arc frame 8 for the lifting rod 14 to pass through, and a limit block 16 for limiting the movement of the lifting rod 14 is provided near the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting tube 15. A sliding column 17 is provided on the outer surface of the connecting tube 15, and a connecting groove for the sliding column 17 to move is provided on the inner side wall of the first arc frame 7. The lifting rod 14 passes upward from the bottom of the second arc frame 8 and is hinged to the pressure handle 13, and the bottom of the lifting rod 14 is in contact with the limit block 16 in the connecting tube 15.

[0031] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the device is used, the first arc frame 7 is first separated from the second arc frame 8, and the patient's head passes through the first arc frame 7 and the second arc frame 8. By pulling the second arc frame 8 to rotate inside the first arc frame 7, the flexible belt 5 connected to the first arc frame 7 is bent. After adjusting to a suitable bending angle, the pressing handle 13 is rotated to squeeze the portion with a convex end of the pressing block 9 to move downward, so that the tooth groove 12 at the bottom of the pressing block 9 is engaged with the tooth block 11, and the lifting rod 14 moves upward to squeeze the bottom of the second arc frame 8 to force it upward to make it doubly fixed, support the patient's neck, make it difficult for the head to deviate, and improve the head fixation effect to a certain extent.

[0032] The circuits and controls involved in the present invention are all prior art and will not be described in detail here.
