Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to the technical field of image plate positioning, in particular to an intraoral X-ray photography IP image plate positioning device. Background Art

[0002] Intraoral X-ray photography requires an X-ray transmitter and an X-ray receiver. The X-ray generator is used to emit X-rays, and the X-ray receiver is used to receive X-rays. For example, an IP imaging plate has an imaging layer which is a layer of barium fluoride halide crystals containing divalent europium ions. When the compound in the crystal layer is irradiated by X-rays, the fluorescent substance absorbs the X-rays and stores their energy, forming a latent image stored in the crystal, which is a simulated image (this is the first excitation). Subsequently, the IP image plate scanner uses a laser beam to scan the IP image plate with the latent image (the second excitation). The information stored on the IP image plate is converted into a light signal and emitted. During use, the IP image plate needs to be placed inside the patient's mouth to project the tooth image onto it. For the sake of speed, some doctors will choose to use their fingers or let the patient use their fingers to press the tooth film against the tooth. This will cause the following problems: (1) unnecessary radiation to the fingers; (2) the IP image plate is easily moved during the shooting process, resulting in blurred images and ghosting; (3) the outlet of the X-ray generator is difficult to align with the IP image plate, which may easily cause the teeth to deform or fail to capture the target teeth. It requires a certain amount of experience and has certain requirements on the operator's proficiency; (4) when taking preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative photos of the same tooth for comparison, it is not easy to take photos at the same position and angle, which may affect the diagnosis results.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN 211934086 U discloses a precise stomatological positioner, comprising a positioner body, a first clip connected to one side of the positioner body, a second clip provided on one side of the positioner body and located on top of the first clip, a mounting block connected to the bottom of the positioner body, and a positioning ring connected to the bottom of the mounting block.

[0004] The dental locator in the above patent has the following problems: (1) the locator is easy to move when the patient bites the locator, causing the IP image plate to shift; (2) the angle between the clamping part and the occlusal part of the IP image plate is fixed, and it is difficult to obtain a normal-shaped dental film for some teeth with incorrect teeth positions; (3) a variety of shapes are required to adapt to different tooth positions; (4) the patient needs to bite the locator during shooting, and the locator and the IP image plate themselves are large in size. Biting the locator will cause the patient to feel more uncomfortable. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an intraoral X-ray photography IP image plate positioning device, which can improve the offset of the IP image plate during the shooting process, improve the shooting success rate, reduce the probability of patients receiving unnecessary radiation, and reduce the time spent by doctors, so as to solve the technical problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An intraoral X-ray photography IP image plate positioning device, comprising

[0008] A silicone fixing clip that can be put on the teeth is connected to an IP image plate locator via a flexible connecting rod.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the silicone fixing clip is U-shaped.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a flexible connecting rod limiter is integrally provided on the top of the silicone fixing clamp to facilitate the connection of the flexible connecting rod, and the flexible connecting rod limiter has a through hole in the middle.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the IP image plate positioner includes a fixing ring connected to the X-ray machine, and the fixing ring is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the IP image plate is integrally provided at the other end of the connecting plate; the connecting plate is provided with an IP image plate at one end thereof and is integrally provided with a flexible connecting rod limiter.

[0012] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the flexible connecting rod comprises a flexible tube made of silicone material, and a flexible metal rod is sleeved inside the flexible tube.

[0013] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the flexible connecting rod is connected to the through hole on the flexible connecting rod limiter in a damping manner.

[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention, an IP image plate positioner for dental X-ray photography is cooperatively connected to the X-ray machine.

[0015] As a further technical solution of the present invention, both ends of the flexible tube are bonded together with the flexible metal rod after heat treatment.

[0016] As a further technical solution of the present invention, after the fixing ring is assembled with the X-ray machine, the ray emission port of the X-ray machine is aligned with the center position of the IP imaging plate.

[0017] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the thickness of the connecting piece is not less than 2 mm.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. When using this utility model, first assemble the fixing ring with the X-ray machine, so that the IP imaging plate is placed on the inner side of the tooth to be photographed. Then, the silicone fixing clip is attached to the non-photographed tooth on the opposite side of the photographed tooth. Because the upper end of the silicone fixing clip is slightly wider than the lower end, the silicone fixing clip has a certain clamping and wrapping effect on the human tooth. When photographing the teeth, there is no need to deliberately bite down, and there will be no deviation.

[0020] 2. This new device, with its silicone fixing clip and IP image plate locator, allows for quick positioning of the appropriate shooting position. This makes it easier to shoot at the same position and angle before, during, and after surgery on the same tooth, leading to more accurate diagnostic results.

[0021] 3. In the present invention, the silicone fixing clip can fix the entire locator on the teeth, so the patient does not need to bite the locator, thereby preventing the locator from moving easily during the occlusion process and causing the position and angle of the IP image plate 33 to shift.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1-5 In an embodiment of the present invention, an intraoral X-ray photography IP image plate positioning device includes a silicone fixing clamp 1 that can be sleeved on the teeth, and the silicone fixing clamp 1 is connected to the IP image plate positioner 3 through a flexible connecting rod 2.

[0031] To be more specific, the silicone fixing clip 1 is U-shaped, and the upper end of the silicone fixing clip 1 is slightly wider than the lower end, so that the silicone fixing clip 1 has a certain clamping and wrapping effect on human teeth. When taking pictures of the teeth, there is no need to deliberately bite tightly, and there will be no deviation.

[0032] In this embodiment, a flexible connecting rod stopper 5 is integrally provided on the top of the silicone fixing clamp 1 to facilitate the connection of the flexible connecting rod 2 . The flexible connecting rod stopper 5 has a through hole in the middle.

[0033] More specifically, the flexible connecting rod 2 is plugged into the through hole on the flexible connecting rod limiter 5 in a damping manner.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, since the position of the patient's photographing teeth is different, it is necessary to change the relative position of the IP image plate locator 3, and thus the protective position of the non-photographing teeth will also be changed accordingly; and the flexible connecting rod 2 and the flexible connecting rod limiter 5 are plugged into each other and have a certain damping property, so that the relative position of the flexible connecting rod 2 and the flexible connecting rod limiter 5 can be adjusted at will without automatically offsetting.

[0035] In this embodiment, the IP image plate positioner 3 includes a fixing ring 31 that is connected to the X-ray machine 4. The fixing ring 31 is fixedly connected to a connecting piece 32. The other end of the connecting piece 32 is integrally provided with an IP image plate 33. The end of the connecting piece 32 on which the IP image plate 33 is provided is integrally provided with a flexible connecting rod stopper 5.

[0036] Furthermore, an IP image plate positioner 3 for dental X-ray photography is cooperatively connected to the X-ray machine 4 .

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the X-ray machine 4 adopts a commercially available product, which has an X-ray emitter and an X-ray receiver. When in use, the X-ray generator is used to emit X-rays, and the X-ray receiver is used to receive X-rays; the imaging layer in the IP image plate 33 is a layer of barium fluoride halide crystals containing divalent europium ions; when the compound in the crystal layer is irradiated by X-rays, the fluorescent substance absorbs the X-rays and stores its energy, forming a latent image stored in the crystal, which is a simulated image (this is the first excitation), and then the IP image plate scanner is used to scan the IP image plate with the latent image with a laser beam (the second excitation), and the information stored on the IP image plate 33 is converted into a light signal and emitted, thereby realizing the shooting of the tooth image.

[0038] In this embodiment, the flexible connecting rod 2 comprises a flexible tube made of silicone material, in which a flexible metal rod is sleeved; both ends of the flexible tube are bonded together with the flexible metal rod after heat treatment.

[0039] More specifically, the flexible tube can protect the flexible metal rod, and the flexible metal rod enables the entire flexible connecting rod 2 to have a certain deformation ability, which can be completed according to different tooth shooting positions to meet the needs of tooth imaging.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the fixing ring 31 is assembled with the X-ray machine 4, the ray emission port of the X-ray machine 4 is aligned with the center of the IP imaging plate 33; the thickness of the connecting piece 32 is not less than 2 mm.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that the X-ray transmitter accurately transmits X-rays to the IP imaging board 33, and the X-ray receiver can receive the information reflected by the IP imaging board 33.

[0042] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when in use, first assemble the fixing ring 31 with the X-ray machine 4 so that the IP imaging plate 33 is placed on the inner side of the tooth to be photographed. Then, the silicone fixing clip 1 is sleeved on the non-photographed tooth on the opposite side of the photographed tooth. Since the upper end of the silicone fixing clip 1 is slightly wider than the lower end, the silicone fixing clip 1 has a certain clamping and wrapping effect on the human tooth. When photographing the teeth, there is no need to deliberately bite down and there will be no deviation.

[0043] The silicone fixing clamp 1 and the IP image plate positioner 3 can be used to quickly locate the appropriate shooting position, especially when performing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative comparative shooting of the same tooth, making it easier to shoot at the same position and angle, thereby obtaining a more accurate diagnosis result.

[0044] During use, the X-ray generator is used to emit X-rays, and the X-ray receiver is used to receive X-rays. The imaging layer in the IP imaging plate 33 is a layer of barium fluoride halide crystals containing divalent europium ions. When the compounds in the crystal layer are irradiated by X-rays, the fluorescent substance absorbs the X-rays and stores their energy, forming a latent image stored in the crystals, which is a simulated image (this is the first excitation). Subsequently, the IP imaging plate scanner uses a laser beam to scan the IP imaging plate with the latent image (the second excitation). The information stored on the IP imaging plate 33 is converted into a light signal and emitted, thereby realizing the capture of the tooth image.

[0045] The silicone fixing clip 1 can fix the entire locator on the teeth, so the patient does not need to bite the locator, thereby preventing the locator from moving easily during the bite process and causing the position and angle of the IP image plate 33 to shift.
