[0002] X-ray examination is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools in medicine, and it's particularly essential for infants and young children. It's well known that X-rays pose certain radiation hazards to the human body, especially to infants and young children, who are more vulnerable and sensitive to radiation. Therefore, unnecessary radiation exposure should be minimized for infants and young children in neonatal units and intensive care units. This involves minimizing the exposure of non-irradiated areas to the patient and reducing the radiation dose to other non-examined individuals in the same room.
[0003] Currently, when performing X-ray examinations on infants and young children in clinical settings, they are placed in a protective box for imaging. To a certain extent, these boxes can block some X-rays, thereby reducing unnecessary radiation exposure to other infants and children in the room and to the radiation personnel. However, existing protective boxes are bulky, difficult to transport, and lack effective storage when not in use, requiring considerable floor space. This has limited their widespread clinical application, leaving room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0024] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a foldable infant radiation protection device mainly includes a foldable support frame 5, a front baffle 1, a rear baffle 2, side baffles 3, and a top plate 4.
[0026] The foldable support frame 5 of the present application is made of stainless steel and has the characteristics of high strength and light weight. Specifically, the foldable support frame 5 includes two square frames and a plurality of connecting rods rotatably connected between the two square frames. Since the connecting rods are rotatably connected to the square frames, the entire support frame can be folded. More specifically, the square frame includes a lower support rod 51, an upper support rod 53 and two vertical support rods 55. These four support rods are connected end to end to form a stable frame structure. Preferably, in order to further improve the stability of the entire device, a middle support rod 56 can also be installed between the two vertical support rods 55.
[0027] The present invention pivotally connects a lower connecting rod 52 to the lower portion of one side of the two square frames, and pivotally connects an upper connecting rod 54 to the upper portion of the other side of the two square frames. The upper connecting rod 54 pivotally connects to the upper portion of the other side of the two square frames, and this side serves as the entrance and exit side of the protective device of the present invention, through which the infant incubator can enter the protective device. The pivotal connection structure between the connecting rod and the square frames can be specifically: a connecting portion is formed at each end of the connecting rod, and a through hole is formed in the connecting portion. A vertical support rod 55 is disposed in the through hole of the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod can rotate around the vertical support rod 55.
[0028] In order to ensure that the foldable support frame 5 can maintain a stable unfolded state after being unfolded, the present application rotates and connects a locking rod 57 to one of the upper support rods 53. The other end of the locking rod 57 is provided with a locking structure, which can be pressed against the upper support rod 53 of the opposite square frame, thereby achieving the purpose of maintaining the support frame structure. The locking structure of the present application includes an arc-shaped locking plate 58 provided at the free end of the locking rod 57, and the arc-shaped locking plate 58 is provided with a locking screw. When the foldable support frame 5 is unfolded, the locking rod 57 is rotated along its fixed end to a horizontal state, so that the upper support rod 53 on the opposite side is stuck in the arc-shaped locking plate 58 and fixed by the locking screw, thereby supporting the locking rod 57 between the two square frames, ensuring the stability of the protective device structure.
[0029] The bottom of the foldable support frame 5 is also threadedly connected to a support foot, and the height can be adjusted by rotation, so that the entire device can be stably placed on different planes to adapt to different usage scenarios, thereby improving the flexibility of use; universal wheels 9 are installed at the bottom of the support foot, so that the device can be quickly moved to different positions, thereby improving the convenience of use.
[0030] The present application has baffles connected to the outside of the foldable support frame 5. The baffles are made of a new lead-free radiation protection material. The lead equivalent of the entire protective device consisting of the foldable support frame 5 and the baffles is 2-4 mmPb, which can ensure the radiation protection effect. Specifically, a front baffle 1 is connected to the front of the foldable support frame 5, a rear baffle 2 is connected to the back, and a side baffle 3 is connected to the side with two connecting rods. In addition, a top plate 4 is installed on the top surface of the foldable support frame 5, and the top plate 4 is connected to the front baffle 1 or the rear baffle 2. The front baffle 1, rear baffle 2, side baffle 3 and top plate 4 of the present application are connected by flexible connecting belts. Therefore, when the foldable support frame 5 is folded or unfolded, the baffles can be effectively connected to each other, preventing X-rays from leaking out from between the baffles. In addition, a roller blind 7 is also provided on the side of the foldable support frame 5 where only the upper connecting rod 54 is provided. The roller blind 7 is mounted on the upper connecting rod 54. The setting of the roller shutter 7 of the present application provides the device with an integral entrance and exit. For weak and / or premature infants who cannot leave the incubator, the incubator can only be pushed into the protective device for X-ray examination. When the infant incubator is placed in the protective device of the present application, the roller shutter 7 is lowered to prevent X-rays from leaking from the protective device, thereby improving the protective effect of the entire device. It should be noted that the roller shutter 7 and the flexible connecting belt of the present application are both made of materials that can shield X-rays, such as commercially available flexible radiation-proof sheets, so as to ensure the protective effect of the entire device.
[0031] Preferably, the present application may further provide 1-2 observation windows 8 made of transparent lead glass on the front baffle 1, the rear baffle 2, and the side baffle 3 to facilitate observation of the infant's condition, and the observation window 8 is made of lead glass with a certain thickness, which can effectively block X-rays.
[0032] The present application forms a mounting hole for inserting the X-ray device head on the top plate 4, and sets an irradiation field adjustment structure 6 on the plate body around the mounting hole. The irradiation field adjustment structure 6 facilitates the adjustment of the shielding area, exposing only the parts that need to be irradiated, and preventing unnecessary radiation from non-inspected parts. Specifically, the irradiation field adjustment structure 6 includes an irradiation field adjustment frame 61 and a shielding plate 62. The irradiation field adjustment frame 61 includes a first frame 611 and a second frame 622 that are stacked and connected in a cross shape, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the first frame 611 and the second frame 622 are both rectangular, and a first guide groove 613 and a second guide groove 614 are respectively formed on the inner walls of the first frame 611 and the second frame 622. The first guide groove 613 is located above the second guide groove 614, and two baffles 62 are provided in the two guide grooves. The baffles 62 can slide along the guide grooves. In actual use, the sliding of the two baffles 62 in the first guide groove 613 will not interfere with the sliding of the two baffles 62 in the second guide groove 614. By adjusting the positions of the four baffles 62, the shielding area can be adjusted.
[0033] To use, the protective device is pushed to the desired position, then unfolded from its folded state and the locking lever 57 is raised. The support legs are then adjusted to ensure the device fits snugly within the incubator. Finally, the device is pushed to surround the incubator and the roller blind 7 is lowered. The irradiation field adjustment mechanism 6 is then adjusted to shield areas not requiring inspection, leaving only the area to be inspected exposed. During the inspection, the infant's condition can be monitored at any time through the observation window 8. Upon completion, the locking lever 57 is unlocked, and the entire device is folded for transport and storage.
[0034] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design concept of the present invention, various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present invention made by ordinary engineering technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
