[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5, in the embodiment of the present utility model, a lower limb CT scanning auxiliary device includes a moving bed 1 slidably connected to a fixed bed body through a driving mechanism. A connecting groove 2 extending towards the tail end is formed in the middle of the top end of the moving bed 1, and a receiving groove 3 connected to the end of the connecting groove 2 is formed in the top end of the moving bed 1; a rotating support mechanism for supporting the popliteal fossa position of the leg is movably connected to the inner walls of the connecting groove 2 and the receiving groove 3, and one end of the rotating support mechanism is connected with a locking mechanism; the locking mechanism is used to lock the rotating support mechanism after rotation is completed to prevent the rotating support mechanism from moving after rotation is completed.

[0023] In this embodiment: First, the patient lies on the moving bed 1, then bends the knees so that the knees are naturally bent upwards. Then, by pulling the rotating support mechanism to move and rotate upwards until the rotating support mechanism is fixed at the popliteal fossa position of the patient's leg. At this time, by rotating the locking mechanism, the locking mechanism effectively limits the rotating support mechanism and prevents it from rotating, and then the CT scanning device can scan the knee, ensuring the stability of the position of the knee during the scanning process.

[0024] Please refer specifically to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the rotating support mechanism includes a rotating plate 4 movably connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 2 and a support plate 5 fixedly connected to the end of the rotating plate 4. The support plate 5 in the reset state is located in the inner cavity of the receiving groove 3; the rotating support mechanism further includes a notch 6 formed at one end of the moving bed 1 and extending to the other end of the moving bed 1. A moving shaft 8 is movably connected to the inner wall of the notch 6, and the moving shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the first end of the rotating plate 4.

[0025] In this embodiment: When the locking mechanism is not locked and the patient lies on the moving bed 1, first pull the support plate 5 to rotate upwards until the support plate 5 is separated from the receiving groove 3, and then pull the locking mechanism to move. The locking mechanism drives the moving shaft 8 to move along the notch 6. The moving shaft 8 pulls the rotating plate 4 and the support plate 5 to move. When the rotating plate 4 and the support plate 5 move to a suitable position, pull the rotating plate 4 to rotate. The rotating plate 4 drives the support plate 5 to rotate upwards until the support plate 5 abuts against the popliteal fossa position of the patient's leg, and then the locking mechanism can be tightened.

[0026] Please refer specifically to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an anti - detachment plate 9 is integrally formed at one end of the moving shaft 8. The diameter of the anti - detachment plate 9 is larger than the diameter of the moving shaft 8. The locking mechanism is arranged at the other end of the moving shaft 8. The locking mechanism includes a threaded groove 10 formed at the end of the moving shaft 8 away from the anti - detachment plate 9. A threaded column 11 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove 10. One end of the threaded column 11 is fixedly connected with a rotating handle 7. The rotating handle 7 and the anti - detachment plate 9 are located outside the two ends of the moving bed 1.

[0027] In this embodiment: By rotating the rotating handle 7, the rotating handle 7 drives the threaded column 11 to rotate. At this time, under the action of the threaded groove 10, during the rotation of the threaded column 11, it moves deeper into the threaded groove 10. After being fully tightened, the end faces of the rotating handle 7 and the anti-disengagement plate 9 that are close to each other effectively abut against the two end faces of the moving bed 1, thereby restricting the rotation of the moving shaft 8, and further restricting the rotation of the rotating plate 4 and the support plate 5.

[0028] Please refer specifically to Figure 5 , and the outer periphery of the rotating handle 7 is formed with a groove for increasing the friction force.

[0029] In this embodiment: The groove can increase the friction force between the rotating handle 7 and the hand, and can better achieve the effects of effective tightening and loosening.

[0030] The above-mentioned is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
