Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a movable scanning head acting on a dental imaging plate scanner. Background Art

[0002] A dental imaging plate scanner is a device used to obtain images of teeth and oral tissue. It uses digital technology to scan X-ray images on dental imaging plates and convert them into digitized data. This digitized image data can be stored on a computer or cloud platform for easy viewing and management by the doctor at any time.

[0003] There are currently two commonly used scanning methods for dental image plate scanners: one is the belt suction type and the other is the drawer type. In both types of dental image plate scanners, the scanning head is fixed, and the image plate needs to be moved under the scanning head using a belt or a drawer. When using the belt type, the image plate needs to be placed between two belts, and the two belts are used to transfer the image plate to the bottom of the scanning head. When using the drawer type, the image plate needs to be placed in the drawer, and then the drawer is closed and reset, and the image plate is moved under the scanning head using the drawer.

[0004] When a belt suction-type solution is adopted, the belt will squeeze the image plate when moving it, causing wear of the image plate, and then the loss of stored information on the image plate, resulting in unclear imaging; when a drawer-type solution is adopted, there is a risk of cards being caught during the process of the drawer popping out and entering, causing the image plate to be scratched or bent, resulting in serious damage to the image plate. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a mobile scanning head for use on a dental image plate scanner.

During the process, the image plate does not need to be moved, which can prevent the image plate from being damaged, thereby solving the technical problems raised by the above-mentioned background technology.

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

[0007] A mobile scanning head for use on a dental image plate scanner includes a base, one side of the top of which is fixedly connected to a control unit storage plate; an image plate slot is provided on the top of one end of the base for placing an image plate tray; the image plate tray is provided with a groove for placing and fixing the image plate; and a card slot is provided on one side of the image plate tray;

[0008] A movable scanning head is provided above the image plate slot, and the side of the movable scanning head close to the control unit storage plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the end of the connecting plate close to the control unit storage plate is fixedly connected to the slide, and the slide is threadedly connected to the threaded transmission shaft; the end of the connecting plate away from the movable scanning head is fixedly connected to the laser scanning assembly.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, an optical signal simulator is provided on the top of the movable scanning head, and an optical signal simulation front end is provided at one end of the movable scanning head away from the connecting plate; the optical signal simulation front end is located on one side of the movable scanning head.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] 1. According to the present invention, the image board is first placed in the image board tray. The image board tray is provided with a groove for storing the image board, so that the image board tray can fix the image board to prevent the image board from moving or deflecting. Then, the image board tray is placed in the image board slot. When the image board tray moves in the image board slot, the automatic ejection spring 1 and the automatic ejection spring 2 are compressed until the slot of the image board tray moves to the electric lock.

The threaded drive shaft system includes a position encoder that accurately reports the position of the mobile scan head. The image plate tray boundary is calibrated at the factory, and the position encoder value is stored, allowing the control system to obtain the boundary position status. When the mobile scan head begins to move, the acquisition link begins recording data. When the mobile scan head reaches the image plate tray and the delay is reached, the current position encoder value matches the image plate tray delay calibration value, indicating that the scan is complete. The user can then remove the image plate, the control system shuts down the laser scanning assembly, the acquisition link ends data recording, and the output data is stored. Simultaneously, the mobile scan head returns to its initial position for the next scan, completing the entire scanning cycle. The image plate does not need to be moved during scanning, preventing damage to the image plate. The addition of a position encoder allows for more precise edge positioning of the image plate.

[0019] 3. In the present invention, after the scan is completed, the electric lock is reset and no longer fixes the image plate tray. The image plate tray automatically pops out of the image plate slot under the action of the elastic force of the automatic ejection spring 1 and the automatic ejection spring 2, making it convenient for the staff to take it; the base of the image plate tray has an NFC reading function, which can read the NFC coil signal of the image plate embedded in the image plate in the image plate tray, thereby associating the image data with the ID of the image plate.

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 1-8 In an embodiment of the present invention, a mobile scanning head for use on a dental image plate scanner includes a base 4, one side of the top of which is fixedly connected to a control unit storage plate 5; an image plate slot 2 for placing an image plate tray 10 is provided at the top of one end of the base 4, the image plate tray 10 is provided with a groove for placing and fixing an image plate 15, and a card slot is provided on one side of the image plate tray 10;

At the same time, the mobile scanning head 1 returns to its original position and returns to the initial position for the next scan, and the entire scanning cycle ends. The image plate 15 does not need to be moved during scanning, which can prevent the image plate 15 from being damaged. By adding a position encoder, the edge positioning of the image plate 15 can be made more accurate.

The threaded transmission shaft 3 system includes a position encoder, which can accurately feedback the position of the movable scanning head 1. The boundary of the image plate tray 10 will be calibrated at the factory and the position code value will be saved, so that the control system can obtain the boundary position status. When the mobile scanning head 1 starts to move, the acquisition link starts to record data. When the mobile scanning head 1 moves to the image plate tray 10 and the delay is reached, the current value of the position encoder is consistent with the calibration record value of the image plate tray 10, indicating that the scan is complete. At this time, the user can remove the image plate 15, the control system turns off the laser scanning component 6, the acquisition link ends data recording, and the output data is saved. At the same time, the mobile scanning head 1 returns to its original position and returns to the initial position for the next scan, and the entire scanning cycle ends. The image plate 15 does not need to be moved during scanning, which can prevent the image plate 15 from being damaged. By adding a position encoder, the edge positioning of the image plate 15 can be made more accurate.

[0046] After the scan is completed, the electric lock 13 is reset and no longer fixes the image board tray 10. The image board tray 10 automatically pops out of the image board slot 2 under the action of the automatic ejection spring 11 and the automatic ejection spring 2 12, making it convenient for the staff to take it; the base of the image board tray 10 has an NFC reading function, which can read the signal of the image board NFC coil 16 embedded in the image board 15 in the image board tray 10, thereby associating the image data with the ID of the image board 15.
