Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to an RFID identification non-weighted radiation protection device. Background Art

[0002] During cardiac and cerebral angiography, implanting a cardiac suspension arm, and performing fracture repair surgery in a hospital, doctors must use a C-arm X-ray machine for a long time to observe the blood vessels or fracture sites of patients in real time. During gastrointestinal angiography or fallopian tube angiography, doctors also need to use a digital X-ray gastrointestinal machine for a long time to observe the digestive tract or fallopian tubes of patients. Since both the C-arm X-ray machine and the digital X-ray gastrointestinal machine use X-rays to image the internal organs of the human body, these devices will generate a large amount of X-ray scattered light, and this X-ray scattered light will cause very adverse radiation damage to the doctor's physical health. In order to minimize the very adverse radiation damage caused by X-ray scattered light to the doctor's physical health, generally, when performing surgeries or examinations that require the use of a C-arm X-ray machine or a digital X-ray gastrointestinal machine, doctors will wear appropriate protective clothing. Although these protective clothing can effectively shield or block X-ray scattered light, the protective clothing has a relatively high weight. The most common protective clothing weighs more than ten catties to provide radiation protection with a lead equivalent of 0.35. If people want to provide better radiation protection, reaching a radiation protection with a lead equivalent of 0.5 - 1.0 mmPb, then the weight of this type of protective clothing will increase by 2 - 3 times, reaching dozens of catties. Wearing protective clothing weighing more than ten catties for dozens of minutes is not a problem. However, if it needs to be worn for several hours or even more than ten hours, it will impose a huge burden on doctors, significantly reducing the doctor's work efficiency and increasing the doctor's fatigue level. If using a radiation protective clothing with a lead equivalent of 0.5 - 1.0 mmPb, the weight of dozens of catties will directly prevent doctors from working efficiently. Since general radiation protective clothing contains lead, radiation protective clothing is also called lead clothing in hospitals.

[0003] To address the above technical problems, several weightless radiation protection devices have been developed. By suspending the protective clothing or lead apron in the air, the burden on doctors caused by the weight of the lead apron is significantly reduced. The weightless radiation protection device can adopt several common induction methods or a combination of induction methods to achieve the hovering of the lead apron at an appropriate height in the air, so as to achieve the purpose of weightlessness for the radiation protection device. For example, the patent with the publication number CN217280047U discloses a weightless radiation protection device with gravity induction, including a universal jib and a lifting device. A connector for hoisting the protective clothing, also known as the lead apron, is provided on the lifting device. It also includes a weighing device for detecting the load weight of the connector, and the lifting device is electrically connected to the weighing device. To ensure that the weightless radiation protection device can work properly and stably for a long time, the weightless radiation protection device generally needs to use a lead apron adapted to the system, rather than any ordinary lead apron. If the weightless radiation protection device uses a lead apron that is not adapted to the system, its working efficiency will be greatly reduced or even cause equipment failure. Therefore, the weightless radiation protection device needs to be able to ensure that the lead apron it uses is fully adapted to the system. The existing protection devices cannot achieve the function of fully adapting the lead apron to the system. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Technical Problems to be Solved by the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the technical problems that the existing weightless radiation protection devices are not easy to identify the lead apron adapted to the system, which reduces the working efficiency and even causes equipment failure, the utility model provides an RFID-identified weightless radiation protection device, which can identify the lead apron adapted to the system, improve the working efficiency and reduce the equipment failure rate.

[0006] Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0008] An RFID-identified weightless radiation protection device, including a universal jib; a lifting connection structure connected to the universal jib; a lead apron connected to the universal jib through the lifting connection structure, and at least one RFID module is provided on the lead apron, and the RFID module is adapted to at least one RFID signal reading and writing device.

[0009] Universal jib: This is a flexible support structure that can rotate 360 degrees and move up and down to facilitate the wearing and removal of the lead apron and reduce the burden on medical staff.

[0010] Lifting connection structure: It is connected to the universal jib and is used to fix and adjust the position of the lead apron to ensure that the wearer can easily put on or take off the lead apron.

[0011] Lead apron: This is the main radiation protection equipment, usually made of lead-containing materials, used to block X-rays and other radioactive rays. The lead apron is equipped with an RFID module.

[0012] RFID module: These electronic tags are embedded in the lead apron and store information about the lead apron, such as model number, size, usage records, etc.

[0013] RFID signal reading and writing device: This is a device used to read and write information in the RFID module. When the lead apron passes through the reading and writing device, it can automatically identify the lead apron and transmit the data to the management system.

[0014] Optionally, the RFID module includes a smart tag, which contains a storage chip and an antenna, and the antenna is wirelessly connected to the RFID signal reading and writing device.

[0015] Storage chip:

[0016] The storage chip is the brain of the smart tag, responsible for storing data and processing instructions. It may contain the following information:

[0017] The unique identifier of the product or item, such as the serial number.

[0018] The description information of the item, such as type, specification, production date, etc.

[0019] Dynamic information, such as temperature, humidity or location, depending on whether the tag has a sensor function.

[0020] Access control information, used to protect data from unauthorized read and write operations.

[0021] Antenna:

[0022] The antenna is the interface for the smart tag to communicate with the external world. It is responsible for receiving the radio frequency signals emitted by the RFID reader and encoding the data of the storage chip into radio frequency signals and sending them out. The design of the antenna affects the reading range and performance of the tag. Common antenna designs include coil type and planar type.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] When the RFID signal reading and writing device emits radio frequency signals, the antenna of the smart tag receives these signals. If the tag is passive (i.e., without an internal power source), then it will use the received energy to activate the storage chip and then reflect back the signal with the information of the storage chip. If the tag is active (with a built-in battery), it can actively send signals without obtaining energy from the reader.

[0025] Data exchange:

[0026] The RFID signal reading and writing device can communicate with the smart tag by changing the frequency, power, or modulation method of the radio frequency signal. After the reader reads the information on the tag, it can transmit it to the central database or management system for tracking, monitoring, or analysis purposes. Similarly, the reader can also send instructions to the tag to modify the data in the storage chip.

[0027] Optionally, anti-counterfeiting modules are provided both in the RFID module and the RFID signal reading and writing device. The anti-counterfeiting modules use a secure communication protocol or handshake signal to enable the RFID module and the RFID signal reading and writing device to identify each other and conduct secure communication.

[0028] Integrating the anti-counterfeiting module in the RFID module and the RFID signal reading and writing device is to enhance the security of the system and prevent unauthorized access or counterfeiting of RFID tags. The anti-counterfeiting module ensures that data exchange can only occur between legitimate RFID modules and RFID signal reading and writing devices by using a secure communication protocol or handshake signal.

[0029] Optionally, the RFID module is integrated at a specific position of the lead apron.

[0030] Position selection: The position of the RFID module should be chosen where it will not affect the protective performance of the lead apron and ensure that it is not easily damaged during wearing. Usually, the RFID tag is sewn or embedded inside the clothing, avoiding direct exposure while also facilitating reading.

[0031] Durability: Since the lead apron often needs to be washed and disinfected, the integrated RFID module needs to have good water resistance, chemical resistance, and heat resistance to ensure its long-term reliable operation.

[0032] Reading convenience: The RFID module should be placed in a position where it can be easily scanned by the RFID reader to quickly and accurately identify the identity and record activities when the wearer enters or leaves a restricted area.

[0033] Privacy and security: The RFID system should be designed with privacy protection measures to ensure the security of personal data and prevent unauthorized information leakage.

[0034] Optionally, the RFID module is detachably mounted on the lead apron.

[0035] Easy maintenance: The detachable RFID module can be conveniently replaced in case of failure without having to replace the entire lead apron, reducing maintenance costs and resource waste.

[0036] Simplified cleaning and disinfection: Lead aprons usually need to be cleaned and disinfected after use, especially considering the infection control requirements in a hospital environment. The detachable RFID module can be removed before the lead apron is cleaned, avoiding damage to the module from water, chemical cleaners, or high temperatures.

[0037] Upgrades and updates: As technology develops, new RFID standards and technologies may emerge. The detachable RFID module enables the lead apron to be easily upgraded to the latest RFID technology, extending the service life of the lead apron and reducing waste due to technological obsolescence.

[0038] Optionally, the lifting connection structure includes a height controller, a lifting rope, and a connector. The lifting rope is connected to the connector, and the height controller is connected to a lifting motor. One end of the connector that connects to the lead apron includes at least two connection ends, and the connection ends are symmetrically connected to the shoulders of the lead apron.

[0039] Reduced physical labor: The wearer does not need to bear the weight of the lead apron themselves, reducing the physical burden, especially in environments where the lead apron is used for a long time or is put on and taken off frequently.

[0040] Improved work efficiency: The process of putting on and taking off the lead apron is faster and easier, reducing the preparation time and waiting time, and improving the efficiency of radiological diagnosis and treatment or examinations.

[0041] Increased safety: By controlling the stability and balance of the lead apron, the risk of injury to the wearer during the wearing process is reduced.

[0042] Improved comfort: The wearer can adjust the height of the lead apron to make it fit their body better, improving comfort and reducing fatigue.

[0043] Optionally, the height controller is provided with a wireless module.

[0044] The height controller is provided with a wireless module, which means that the user can remotely control the lifting of the lead apron without physically touching the controller itself. Such a design provides additional convenience and safety, especially suitable for radiology environments where minimizing contact and maintaining a certain distance may be necessary.

[0045] Optionally, the universal boom includes at least two boom sections.

[0046] Jointed connection: Each boom section is connected by a joint, and these joints can rotate, enabling the boom to be adjusted omnidirectionally in the horizontal direction.

[0047] Telescoping function: Some or several of the boom sections may have the ability to telescope, adjusting the total length by extending and retracting to adapt to different working heights or space sizes.

[0048] Locking mechanism: After being adjusted to the desired position, the locking mechanism on the boom can fix the boom to ensure its stability during use and prevent accidental movement.

[0049] Load capacity: When designing, the strength and stability of the boom are considered to ensure that it can safely carry the weight of the lead apron without structural failure even in the fully extended state.

[0050] Beneficial effects

[0051] Adopting the technical solution provided by the present utility model, compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0052] In the technical solution provided by the present utility model, the weightless radiation protection device combines advanced RFID technology, which not only improves the safety of medical staff but also optimizes the work process. Through RFID identification, it can ensure that only certified lead aprons can be used for radiation protection, avoiding potential health risks caused by incorrect use of protective equipment. The system can track the usage of lead aprons, which helps with maintenance and replacement planning and reduces work interruptions caused by equipment failures. The data collected by the RFID system can be used to analyze the usage patterns of lead aprons, providing a basis for optimizing resource allocation. At the same time, it reduces the equipment failure rate and prevents equipment failures caused by incompatible or inadaptable lead aprons. Description of the drawings

Detailed implementation manners

[0055] To further understand the content of the present utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0056] Embodiment

[0057] Combined with the attached Figure 1, a weightless radiation protection device for RFID identification. The device body 100 includes a universal jib 101, a height controller 103 that can control the height of the suspension rope 105, is connected to the universal jib 101, a connector 107, and a lead apron 111. The lead apron 111 is connected to the universal jib 101 through the connector 107 and the suspension rope 105. At least one RFID module 113 is provided on the lead apron 111. The RFID module 113 is adapted to an RFID signal reading and writing device 115 or 115A, and the RFID signal reading and writing device 115 or 115A is connected with a wireless module. RFID, also known as radio frequency identification. The application of RFID is very extensive. Currently, typical applications include animal microchips, automotive chip anti-theft devices, access control, parking lot control, production line automation, material management, highway toll collection, etc. This patent introduces RFID to manage the lead apron 111 used in the weightless radiation protection device more efficiently and better perform the radiation protection work for medical staff and other relevant personnel. Since the application scenarios of RFID are very common and its working principle is widely known, we will not elaborate here.

[0058] The RFID module 113 includes an intelligent tag. The intelligent tag contains a storage chip and an antenna, and the antenna is wirelessly connected to the signal reading and writing device. In actual application, when a lead apron is hung on the universal jib 101 of the weightless radiation protection device through the connector 107 and the suspension rope 105, the RFID signal reading and writing device 115 or 115A will try to wirelessly communicate with the RFID module 113 (also known as the RFID electronic tag) on the lead apron 111 and read the information stored in the RFID module 113 on the lead apron 111. If the stored information obtained by the RFID signal reading and writing device 115 or 115A from the RFID module 113 on the lead apron 111 does not match or is incorrect or no information can be obtained (the RFID module 113 on the lead apron 111 is damaged or the lead apron 111 does not contain an RFID module 113 at all), then the RFID signal reading and writing device 115 or 115A will notify the height controller 103 to stop working and report an error to prevent the use of unmatched or unqualified lead aprons 111 from affecting the normal operation of the weightless radiation protection device using lead aprons containing RFID. The RFID module 113 can be directly embedded into the lead apron 111 during the production process.

[0059] The RFID module 113 and the RFID signal reading and writing device 115 or 115A are provided with an anti-counterfeiting module. The anti-counterfeiting module uses a confidential communication protocol or a handshake signal, enabling the RFID module 113 and the RFID signal reading and writing device 115 or 115A to have a good anti-counterfeiting function. The label nameplate on the traditional lead apron 111 is easily forged by illegal manufacturers, and its anti-counterfeiting function is almost non-existent. The RFID signal reading and writing device 115 or 115A and the RFID module 113 in the lead apron 111 can use a confidential communication protocol or a handshake signal to make anti-counterfeiting easy to achieve. This function is relatively important for medical devices.

[0060] The RFID module 113 is set at a specific position of the lead apron 111. The RFID module 113 can be integrated into any suitable part of the lead apron 111. For example, the RFID module 113 can be sewn onto a suitable part of the lead apron 111 to make it an inseparable part of the lead apron 111. This combination mode is more beneficial for the anti-counterfeiting of the lead apron 111. However, for the manager of the lead apron 111 when needed, such as when the module is damaged, upgraded, or updated, it is difficult to replace the RFID module 113. Of course, the manager of the lead apron 111 can also consider solving the problem by returning the product to the factory for updating, upgrading, or replacing the RFID module 113. The RFID module 113 can also be fixed to any suitable part of the lead apron 111 in other ways. For example, the RFID module 113 can be fixed to a suitable part of the lead apron 111 by means of Velcro, adhesive, and other common mechanical buckles or slots. The RFID module 113 can also be directly placed into a "pocket" or other slots of appropriate size pre-designed on the lead apron 111 to achieve the same purpose of being fixed to the lead apron 111. This combination mode enables the manager of the lead apron 111 to conveniently update, upgrade, or replace the RFID module 113 when needed, facilitating long-term use and management.

[0061] The RFID signal reading and writing device 115 or 115A includes several quantities with different permission levels. The weightless radiation protection device using the lead apron 111 containing RFID generally can contain multiple lead aprons 111, such as dozens of pieces, and each lead apron 111 will generally be bound to an RFID module 113. For the convenience of management, the weightless radiation protection device using the lead apron 111 containing RFID can use one or more RFID signal reading and writing devices. The RFID signal reading and writing devices can be used in parallel without a hierarchical distinction. For example, each weightless radiation protection device using the lead apron 111 containing RFID can be internally integrated with an RFID signal reading and writing device, so that the weightless radiation protection device using the lead apron 111 containing RFID can ensure that each used lead apron 111 is a lead apron 111 adapted to the device. At the same time, assuming that a hospital has a total of one hundred lead aprons 111 and is managed by one administrator, at this time, the hospital can consider equipping this administrator with two identical independent RFID signal reading and writing devices, one for main use and the other as a backup. When the battery of the main RFID signal reading and writing device runs out, this administrator can immediately activate the backup RFID signal reading and writing device to ensure the smooth progress of its work. Or when one of the RFID signal reading and writing devices fails, this administrator can send the faulty RFID signal reading and writing device for repair or replacement. For another example, a hospital has 100 lead aprons, but they are managed by 2 administrators in two different departments respectively. At this time, the hospital can consider equipping each department with 1 - 2 identical RFID signal reading and writing devices, and a total of 2 - 4 RFID signal reading and writing devices for the 2 administrators in the two different departments. Each department is equipped with 1 - 2 identical RFID signal reading and writing devices with the same department identification bit, but the 1 - 2 identical RFID signal reading and writing devices equipped in different departments have different department identification flag bits, which is convenient for the administrators in different departments to effectively manage the lead aprons within their own departments. For yet another example, a hospital has 200 lead aprons, but they are managed by 2 administrators in two different departments respectively, plus an administrator in the equipment department. At this time, the hospital can consider equipping each department with 1 - 2 identical RFID signal reading and writing devices, a total of 2 - 4 RFID signal reading and writing devices. In addition, equip the administrator in the equipment department with 1 - 2 RFID signal reading and writing devices with higher permissions. The 1 - 2 RFID signal reading and writing devices with higher permissions equipped by the equipment department administrator can read and write the RFID modules of all 200 lead aprons in the hospital; while the 1 - 2 identical RFID signal reading and writing devices equipped in the department can only be used to manage the lead aprons within their own department and cannot manage the lead aprons of other departments.

[0062] The RFID signal reading and writing device in this patent can be integrated into a weightless radiation protection device containing RFID in a lead apron, such as shown in 115A of Figure 1 ; or it can be independent, such as shown in 115 of Figure 1 . The integrated RFID signal reading and writing device 115A facilitates each weightless radiation protection device containing RFID in a lead apron to ensure that each lead apron is properly fitted and avoid equipment failures; the independent RFID signal reading and writing device 115 is convenient for the lead apron manager to use alone. The RFID signal reading and writing device in this patent supports different management authorities, and multiple RFID signal reading and writing devices with the same management authority can also be used as backups. This patent includes these promotions.

[0063] The connector 107 is connected to the shoulders of the lead apron 111 and is symmetric left and right. In this embodiment, the connector 107 is in an inverted Y or inverted U shape, and the top is connected to the height controller 103 and the universal lifting arm 101 through a suspension rope 105, and the bottom is respectively connected to the left and right shoulders of the lead apron 111. The top of the connector 107 is connected to the suspension rope 105, and the bottom is respectively connected to the shoulders of the lead apron 111. Common mechanical connection methods can be used, such as bayonets, rings, hooks, etc.; common electromagnetic connection methods can also be used, such as the magnetic attraction method between electromagnets and electromagnets, or between electromagnets and magnetic materials. The electromagnetic connection method is often used when hoisting metal objects. The suspension rope 105 can be selected from a variety of materials according to actual application needs, such as metal materials such as steel ropes, copper wires ropes, and aluminum wires ropes, or synthetic materials such as nylon ropes, and natural materials such as hemp ropes and rattan ropes can also be used.

[0064] The universal lifting arm 101 includes at least two sections of lifting arms. Each section of the lifting arm can be extended or shortened, so that the total length of the lifting arm can be adjusted according to actual needs. Whether approaching or moving away from the wearer, the best position can be achieved. The joints between each section of the lifting arm can rotate and bend freely, providing an all-round range of motion to ensure that the lead apron 111 can approach the wearer from any angle, even in crowded or narrow spaces. Through the design of multiple sections of lifting arms, the load can be dispersed to ensure the stability of the entire system during operation. Each section of the lifting arm can bear a part of the weight, reducing the burden on a single lifting arm. A locking device is provided at the joints of the lifting arms. Once adjusted to the appropriate position, the joints can be locked to prevent accidental movement during use. The operation of the universal lifting arm 101 is usually designed to be very simple and can be extended, retracted, and rotated manually or electrically, without requiring too much effort or complex steps. No matter where the wearer stands, the universal lifting arm 101 can be flexibly adjusted to ensure that the shoulders of the lead apron 111 can be accurately lifted above the wearer's shoulders, improving the efficiency and comfort of wearing.

[0065] The height controller 103 is provided with a wireless module. Each boom section can be extended or retracted, so that the total length of the boom can be adjusted according to actual needs. Whether it is close to or far from the wearer, the best position can be achieved. The joints between each boom section can rotate and bend freely, providing an all-round range of motion to ensure that the lead apron 111 can approach the wearer from any angle, even in crowded or narrow spaces. Through the design of multiple boom sections, the load-bearing can be dispersed to ensure the stability of the entire system during operation. Each boom section can bear a part of the weight, reducing the burden on a single boom. The operation of the universal boom 101 is generally designed to be very simple and can be extended, retracted and rotated manually or electrically, without excessive force or complicated steps. No matter where the wearer stands, when the wearer moves, the universal boom 101 can follow flexibly to ensure that the lead apron 111 can be accurately lifted above the wearer, improving the efficiency and comfort of wearing.

[0066] The device body 100 includes at least one universal boom 101, a height controller 103, a lifting rope 105, a lead apron 111, a connector 107, at least one RFID module 113 (also known as the RFID electronic tag), and at least one RFID signal reading and writing device 115 (also known as the RFID reader / writer). The universal boom 101 can generally be double-section or multi-section. One end of the universal boom 101 is connected to the connector 107 through the height controller 103 and the lifting rope 105. The other end of the universal boom 101 can be fixed to an electric push rod to change the height of the universal boom 101. The electric push rod can be fixed to a movable platform to facilitate moving the device body 100 to different places or rooms for use. The electric push rod can also be fixed to the ceiling or the side wall of the room to facilitate the use of the device body 100 in the same room. The lifting rope 105 is connected to the connector 107. The connector 107 is connected to the lead apron 111. The height controller 103 can be integrated into the universal boom 101. The height controller 103 can use gravity sensing and / or distance sensing to control the height of the lifting rope 105 and the connector 107, and thus control the height of the lead apron 111. The lead apron 111 is provided with an RFID module 113. An RFID signal reading and writing device 115 can communicate with the RFID module 113 and read and write the data in the RFID module 113.

[0067] The lead apron 111 includes various common and frequently used lead-containing radiation protection garments. Since the protection requirements for lead aprons vary in different scenarios, lead aprons come in various shapes, use different radiation protection equivalents (the larger the equivalent, the stronger the radiation protection ability), use a variety of materials and combinations of materials, and may also include various accessories, etc. Various common and frequently used lead aprons include but are not limited to: long-sleeved lead aprons, short-sleeved lead aprons, vest-style lead aprons, lead aprons with rear openings, lead aprons with front openings, lead aprons with side openings, lead aprons with buttons, lead aprons with buckles, lead aprons with Velcro, longer lead aprons that cover the feet, shorter lead aprons that cover the calves or thighs, lead aprons with added neck guards, various lead aprons with enhanced protection for sensitive areas (such as increasing the thickness of the lead apron or using inserts at the chest or gonad, ovarian areas to increase radiation protection), lead aprons with added lead bibs or lead aprons; lead aprons can be made of lead rubber or lead-containing flexible fabrics, and can also use multi-layer composite materials to ensure the radiation protection ability of the lead apron and the skin-friendly comfort for the human body, such as breathable lead aprons, etc. The lead apron 111 in this patent generally refers to various common lead aprons that can be used in conjunction with the weightless radiation protection device.

[0068] The device body 100 also includes an independent lead apron management module 121 (any complete RFID system includes an RFID data management system related to specific applications). The independent lead apron management module 121 can manage, query, display, and update the information of the lead apron. The independent lead apron management module 121 can be an independent system or a system already in use by the user unit, such as a plugin or subsystem of the Hospital Information Management System (HIS system) commonly used in hospitals. Generally, people need to choose according to the actual application requirements. The independent lead apron management module 121 in the device body 100A of this patent can provide multiple operating modes, including independent operation, running as a subroutine in a large system, or running as a service system in the background cloud, etc.

[0069] The manager of the device body 100 can effectively manage all the lead aprons within its jurisdiction using the independent lead apron management module 121. For example, the manager can use the independent lead apron management module 121 to count the quantity of all the lead aprons within its jurisdiction, sort them according to the expiration date based on the start date of use of all the lead aprons, find out which lead aprons need maintenance and inspection, where each lead apron is stored, list the usage situation of lead aprons in each department, and can also estimate the quantity of lead aprons that need to be purchased or updated in the future according to the changes in the department's business, etc.

[0070] Such as Figure 1As shown, the independent lead apron management module 121 can run on an intelligent electronic device 123. The intelligent electronic device 123 includes, but is not limited to: computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, servers, etc. Since the independent lead apron management module 121 has relatively simple functions, the computing power and storage capacity of the vast majority of common intelligent electronic devices are sufficient. If the calculation and storage of the module signal reading and writing device 115 are sufficient, people can also directly install the independent lead apron management module 121 in the present patent on the module signal reading and writing device 115 to run, and it is no longer necessary to let the independent lead apron management module 121 run on the intelligent electronic device 123. This patent includes such changes. The independent module signal reading and writing device 115 is an independent device. In fact, the module signal reading and writing device can also be integrated with the zero-weight radiation protection device.
