DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for purposes of illustration and description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.
[0036] In this embodiment, an MRI-guided radiotherapy device is provided, comprising an MRI imaging mechanism, a treatment head mechanism, and a treatment couch mechanism. The MRI imaging mechanism includes a magnet 11 and magnetic poles. A mounting cavity is formed in the center of the magnet 11, and the treatment head mechanism is disposed within the mounting cavity. The treatment couch mechanism is connected to the magnet 11 and can rotate relative to the magnet 11. This rotation allows the treatment position to be moved, thereby enabling treatment of different parts of the head. Imaging and treatment are achieved within the same device, and the treatment couch mechanism 2 is used to move the patient to the treatment area for treatment. This achieves integrated positioning and treatment, eliminates secondary fixation of the patient, and improves treatment efficiency and accuracy.
[0037] Furthermore, the magnet 11 is provided with a mounting hole corresponding to the treatment head mechanism 1, and the magnetic poles include an upper magnetic pole 12 and a lower magnetic pole 13, and an imaging area is formed between the upper magnetic pole 12 and the lower magnetic pole 13; the magnet 11 includes a magnetic base, and the lower magnetic pole 13 is provided on the magnetic base, and a turntable mechanism is installed on the magnetic base, and the treatment bed mechanism is installed through the turntable mechanism.
[0038] Specifically, the turntable structure includes a large bearing 201 installed at the lower part of the lower magnetic pole 13 of the magnetizer 11, the large bearing 201 is connected to the second large gear 202, the second large gear 202 is fixed to the rotating frame 205, the second large gear 202 can rotate through the large bearing 201, the second large gear 202 is engaged with the second small gear 203, the second small gear 203 is connected to the rotating motor 204, the rotating motor 204 drives the second small gear 203 to rotate, and drives the second large gear 202 and the rotating frame 205 to rotate, and the treatment bed mechanism is driven to move by the turntable mechanism. The treatment bed mechanism, the magnetizer 11, and the treatment head mechanism 1 are integrated into one, which reduces the footprint and can reduce the cost of the treatment bed in the existing technology. At the same time, it also improves the accuracy and time efficiency of the treatment bed reaching the treatment position during treatment.
[0039] Furthermore, a shielding mechanism 3 is provided outside the installation cavity and is mounted on the magnetic conductor 11. In an emergency, the shielding mechanism 3 is operated to adjust the shielding mechanism 3 to a closed state. In a treatment scenario, the shielding mechanism is open relative to the cavity; in a non-treatment scenario, the shielding mechanism is closed relative to the cavity. This means that by adjusting the position of the shielding mechanism, different effects can be automatically achieved in treatment scenarios, non-treatment scenarios, and emergency situations, without the need for other mechanisms or manual position adjustment. This improves treatment efficiency while also reducing radiation damage to the human body.
[0040] Specifically, the shielding mechanism 3 includes a shielding door 304, which is also connected to a driving mechanism for driving the shielding door 304 to move; it also includes a shielding door motor 301 and a shielding door screw 307. The shielding door screw 307 is a self-locking T-shaped thread. When the shielding door screw 307 is stationary, it can support the slider and prevent the shielding door screw nut 303 from moving downward under the action of gravity.
[0041] The shielding door 304 is slidably connected to the magnetic conductor 11; and a shielding block 309 is installed on the shielding door 304; a slider is connected to the rear end of the shielding door 304, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail 308, and the guide rail 308 is installed on the equipment. A shielding door screw nut 303 is fixed to the side end of the shielding door 304, and the shielding door screw nut 303 is connected to the shielding door screw 307, and the shielding door screw 307 is installed on the equipment through a bearing and a bearing seat.
[0042] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a screen door motor 301 and a lead screw, and the lead screw is connected to the screen door 304; the screen door motor 301 drives the lead screw to move the screen door to achieve a closed state of the installation cavity.
[0043] Specifically, the upper end of the shielding door screw rod 307 is fixedly connected to the first pulley 3071. Two first pulleys 3071 are provided. The two first pulleys 3071 are connected by a pulley synchronous belt 302. The other first pulley 3071 is connected to the shielding door motor 301. The shielding door motor 301 is installed on the equipment through a bracket. The shielding door motor 301 drives the first pulley 3071 to rotate, and drives the shielding door screw rod 307 to rotate through the pulley synchronous belt 302, so that the shielding door screw rod nut 303 moves along the shielding door screw rod 307, thereby driving the shielding door 304 to move up and down.
[0044] Furthermore, the shielding door motor 301 is a servo motor without a brake; the screw is a self-locking T-shaped thread, and the screw is connected to the reducer 305 and the handwheel 306 through a pulley; in an emergency, the handwheel 306 drives the screw to rotate and drive the shielding door 304 to move to a closed state.
[0045] Specifically, the lower end of the shielding door screw rod 307 is fixedly connected to the second pulley 3072. There are two second pulleys 3072. The two second pulleys 3072 are connected by the pulley synchronous belt 302. The other second pulley 3072 is connected to the reducer 305. The reducer 305 is connected to the handwheel 306.
[0046] Furthermore, the shielding door motor 301 is a servo motor without a brake, and the shielding door motor 301 does not need to be installed with a brake mechanism. When the shielding door motor 301 stops, the second pulley 3072 is driven to rotate by turning the handwheel 306, driving the shielding door screw 307 to rotate, so that the shielding door screw nut 303 moves along the shielding door screw 307, and then drives the shielding door 304 to move up and down. In an emergency, when manually closing the shielding block 309, there is no need to release the motor brake first, the operation is simpler, and the operation time is saved. The shielding block 309 switch transmission screw adopts a self-locking mechanism, and the motor does not need a brake. When manually closing the shielding block 309, there is no need to release the motor brake first, the operation is simpler, and the manual emergency power off time is saved. During treatment, the shielding block 309 moves to the bottom of the collimator mechanism 14, leaking out of the collimator mechanism 14. When shutting off the source, operate the shielding mechanism 3 to move the shielding block 309 to the front of the collimator mechanism 14 to achieve manual power off.

During non-treatment, the electric switch source mechanism drives the source switch 108 to turn the radiation source assembly away from the collimator 111, so that the radiation source 110 is in a shielded state.
[0049] Specifically, the collimator mechanism 14 includes a collimator 111, a radiation source 110 is provided inside the collimator 111, a plurality of collimators 111 are provided, and the plurality of collimators 111 are mounted on a support plate 1114. The radiation of the radiation source 110 passes through the collimation hole 1113 of the collimator 111 to form a treatment area outside the magnet 11. The radiation source 110 is placed in the box body, and the side wall of the support plate 1114 is connected to the slider, and the slider is connected to the slide rail, and the slide rail is fixed to the cavity 109. The side wall of the support plate 1114 is also fixedly connected to the support plate screw nut 1112. The support plate screw nut 1112 is connected to the adjusting screw 1111, and the adjusting screw 1111 is installed on the outer cylinder 102 through the screw bracket. The adjusting screw 1111 is connected to the motor, and the motor drives the adjusting screw 1111 to rotate, so that the support plate screw nut 1112 moves up and down, driving the support plate 1114 to move up and down, which can adjust the height of the collimator 111, and then facilitate the adjustment of the center of the treatment area. A plurality of collimating holes 1113 are provided on the collimator 111, and the rays of the radiation source 110 are arranged in a fan shape and gathered in the center of the treatment area.
[0050] Furthermore, four collimators 111 are provided, and a support frame is provided between the upper two collimators 111 and the lower two collimators 111 . The support frame is fixed on the support plate 1114 , and the motor drives the adjustment screw 1111 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the support plate 1114 and adjusting different collimators 111 .

The small pulley 113 is connected to the switch source motor 112, and the switch source motor 112 is fixed on the inner cover 104. The switch source motor 112 can move with the cavity 109, so that the shutdown shielding position of the radiation source 110 is different from the treatment working position, which can reduce the source loading amount of the radiation source 110.
[0053] Furthermore, the electric switch source mechanism includes a source switch 108 and a rotating mechanism. A radiation source is provided in the source switch 108. The source switch 108 itself has a shielding function. The source switch 108 is connected to the rotating mechanism, and the source switch 108 is driven to rotate by the rotating mechanism to realize the treatment state and the non-treatment state.

The source switch 108 is connected to the rotating mechanism, and the rotating mechanism is fixed on the cavity 109. The source switch 108 is driven by the rotating mechanism. During treatment, the radiation source 110 is close to the treatment center, which is conducive to improving the dose rate at the treatment center.

In the non-treatment state, the axis of the shielding plug 117 is concentric with the radiation source assembly. By removing the shielding plug 117, the radiation source assembly can be taken out using a tool. The source replacement mechanism is used to replace the radiation source.

The outer cylinder cover 103 is provided at both ends of the outer cylinder 102. The outer cylinder cover 103 located before the cavity 109 and the stopper 116 is provided with a through hole that matches the source change hole 1091. Preferably, the diameter of the through hole on the outer cylinder cover 103 is the same as the diameter of the source change hole 1091. The two ends of the cavity 109 are rotatably connected to the outer cylinder cover 103 through the bearing 101. The outer cylinder 102 is connected to the inner cover 104, and the inner cover 104 is used to be clamped in the cavity. At the inner end of 109, the inner cover 104 is connected to the first large gear 107 through a rotating shaft, the first large gear 107 engages with the first small gear 106, and the first small gear 106 is connected to the motor 105. The motor 105 is fixed on the magnet 11. Starting the motor 105 drives the first small gear 106 to rotate, drives the first large gear 107 to rotate, and drives the first large gear 107, the inner cover 104, the cavity 109 and the radiation source 110 to rotate, which is used to adjust the horizontal angle of the radiation source 110 to achieve focusing of the radiation source 110 to the center of the treatment area from different directions.
[0071] When the power is turned off, the switch source motor 112 drives the small pulley 113 and the large pulley 115 to rotate, so that the source switch 108 rotates 180 degrees from the side close to the shielding block 309 to the side away from the shielding block 309, further completing the power off.
[0072] Furthermore, a through hole 119 is formed on the side wall of the magnetic conductor 11 facing the source switch 108 . A stopper 116 is installed at the through hole 119 . A shielding plug 117 is installed on the stopper 116 . A plug hole is formed on the stopper 116 corresponding to the shielding plug 117 .
[0073] When replacing the source, a hexagonal head 118 is provided on the side wall of the source switch 108 near the shielding plug 117. The hexagonal head 118 is centrally arranged with the plug hole. When removing the shielding plug 117, an inner hexagonal tool can be inserted from the plug hole and connected to the hexagonal head 118. Rotating the inner hexagonal tool can drive the source switch 108 to rotate, so that the radiation source 110 rotates to the side away from the shielding block 309, thereby realizing manual source shutdown, facilitating replacement of the radiation source 110, and avoiding radiation exposure to the staff caused by replacing the radiation source 110.
[0074] See Figure 1 and 6As shown, the treatment bed mechanism 2 includes a treatment bed body 212, and a slide 211 is installed at the bottom end of the treatment bed body 212. The slide 211 is connected to the drive assembly 209, and the drive assembly 209 is installed in the base 210. The slide 211 is slidably connected to the base 210. In this embodiment, the drive assembly 209 includes a motor, a lead screw and a lead screw nut. The lead screw nut is fixed to the slide 211. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw nut drives the slide 211 to move along the base 210. The horizontal position of the treatment bed body 212 can be adjusted to facilitate the human head to enter the imaging area or treatment area.
[0075] Furthermore, the lower end of the base 210 is connected to the rotation drive assembly 208, and the rotation drive assembly 208 is fixed to the lifting frame 207. In this embodiment, the rotation drive assembly 208 includes a motor, which is used to drive the base 210 to rotate so that the treatment bed body 212 can rotate. The lifting frame 207 is connected to the lifting assembly 206. The lifting assembly 206 can use electric or pneumatic means to drive the lifting frame 207 to rise and fall. The lifting assembly 206 is fixed to the rotating frame 205, and the rotating frame 205 rotates along the lower part of the lower magnetic pole 13.
[0076] Specifically, the rotary motor 204 drives the second small gear 203 to rotate, which in turn drives the second large gear 202 and the rotating frame 205 to rotate, so that the treatment bed body 212 can revolve along the lower magnetic pole 13, making it easy to adjust the angle at which the treatment bed body 212 enters the imaging area or the treatment area.
[0077] See Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the shielding mechanism 3 includes a shielding door 304, a shielding block 309 is installed on the shielding door 304, a slider is connected to the rear end of the shielding door 304, the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail 308, the guide rail 308 is installed on the equipment, and a shielding door screw nut 303 is fixed to the side end of the shielding door 304, the shielding door screw nut 303 is connected to the shielding door screw 307, and the shielding door screw 307 is installed on the equipment through bearings and bearing seats, and the bearings and bearing seats are not shown in the figure.
[0078] The shielding mechanism 3 drives the shielding door 304 to move up and down, and includes a shielding door motor 301 and a shielding door screw 307. The shielding door screw 307 is a self-locking T-shaped thread. When the shielding door screw 307 is stationary, it can support the slider and prevent the shielding door screw nut 303 from moving downward under the action of gravity.
[0079] Furthermore, the upper end of the shielding door screw 307 is fixedly connected to the first pulley 3071. Two first pulleys 3071 are provided. The two first pulleys 3071 are connected by a pulley synchronous belt 302. The other first pulley 3071 is connected to the shielding door motor 301. The shielding door motor 301 is installed on the equipment through a bracket. The shielding door motor 301 drives the first pulley 3071 to rotate, and drives the shielding door screw 307 to rotate through the pulley synchronous belt 302, so that the shielding door screw nut 303 moves along the shielding door screw 307, thereby driving the shielding door 304 to move up and down.
[0080] Furthermore, the lower end of the shielding door screw rod 307 is fixedly connected to the second pulley 3072. There are two second pulleys 3072. The two second pulleys 3072 are connected by the pulley synchronous belt 302. The other second pulley 3072 is connected to the reducer 305, and the reducer 305 is connected to the handwheel 306.
[0081] In this embodiment, the shielding door motor 301 is a servo motor without a brake, and the shielding door motor 301 does not need to be installed with a brake mechanism. When the shielding door motor 301 stops, the second pulley 3072 is driven to rotate by rotating the handwheel 306, driving the shielding door screw 307 to rotate, so that the shielding door screw nut 303 moves along the shielding door screw 307, and then drives the shielding door 304 to move up and down. In an emergency, when manually closing the shielding block 309, there is no need to release the motor brake first, which simplifies the operation and saves operation time. The shielding block 309 switch transmission screw adopts a self-locking mechanism, and the motor does not need a brake. When manually closing the shielding block 309, there is no need to release the motor brake first, which simplifies the operation and saves manual emergency power off time. During treatment, the shielding block 309 moves to the bottom of the collimator mechanism 14, leaking out of the collimator mechanism 14. When shutting off the power, the shielding mechanism 3 is operated to move the shielding block 309 to the front of the collimator mechanism 14 to achieve manual power off.
[0082] If a sudden fault occurs during treatment and the power cannot be turned off automatically, it is necessary to turn it off manually.
[0083] Step 1: Manually close the shielding door 304. During treatment, the shielding door 304 is located below the treatment area. Manually rotate the hand wheel 306 to drive the shielding door screw 307 to rotate, so that the shielding door 304 rises and blocks the radiation source 110.
[0084] Step 2: Remove the shielding plug 117, insert the hexagonal tool for manual power off into the plug hole, cooperate with the hexagonal head 118, rotate the hexagonal tool to drive the power switch 108 to rotate 180 degrees, and the treatment head mechanism 1 is in the shielded state of power off, and the staff can enter the treatment room.
