AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The swing and flip structure of the mobile C-arm X-ray machine lacks accuracy and repeatability when zeroing, resulting in the software function not being able to be used normally.

Method used

The positioning structure consists of a knob plunger and a knob seat. The shaft head of the knob plunger cooperates with the through slot and the micro switch assembly to ensure that the knob plunger is stuck in the through slot when in zero position and the micro switch is turned on. When in non-zero position, the shaft head is out of the through slot and the micro switch is turned off, thereby achieving precise positioning.

Benefits of technology

The zero-position repeatability accuracy of the swing and flip structure of the C-arm X-ray machine has been improved to ensure the normal use of the software functions.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a positioning structure. Background Art

[0002] A mobile C-arm X-ray machine (also known as a mobile C-arm X-ray machine) is an X-ray device with a C-shaped frame used for imaging during surgery. C-arms offer advantages such as low radiation dose, low infection risk, small footprint, and ease of mobility, and are widely used in orthopedics, surgery, gynecology, and other departments in hospitals. C-arms are primarily used for orthopedic nailing, bone setting, and reduction; surgical pacemaker implantation, foreign body removal, some radiography, and some interventional procedures; as well as in conjunction with ozone therapy for pain management, acupuncture, and gynecological fallopian tube guidance.

[0003] The swing and flip mechanisms of mobile C-arm X-ray machines rotate forward and backward around 0°, returning to the zero position after each use. Although scale markings are present on the swing and flip mechanisms, these markings cannot guarantee the accuracy and repeatability of the 0° position. Furthermore, certain software functions are unavailable when the swing and flip mechanisms are not in the zero position. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple positioning structure with high zero-position repeatability and positioning accuracy.

[0005] The technical solution for realizing the present utility model is as follows

[0006] A positioning structure includes a knob plunger and a knob seat; the top of the knob seat is provided with a knob plunger positioning groove used in conjunction with the knob plunger, and a socket for accommodating the knob plunger is provided in the center of the knob plunger positioning groove; the knob plunger is composed of an upper knob and a lower plunger, and the bottom surface of the knob is provided with a movable shaft that can be inserted into the plunger, and the movable shaft can rotate up and down in the plunger, and the bottom end of the movable shaft extends out of the bottom surface of the plunger; the top surface of the plunger is provided with a limiting step, and the limiting step is provided with a through groove, and the bottom surface of the knob is provided with a shaft head used in conjunction with the through groove; the top surface of the knob seat is provided with a micro switch assembly used in conjunction with the knob plunger.

[0007] The through slot is a rectangular through slot, and the shaft head is a rectangular shaft head.

[0008] The micro switch assembly comprises an L-shaped support portion installed on the side of the knob seat, and a micro switch is installed on the top surface of the support portion.

[0009] The micro switch is composed of a micro switch body embedded in the support part and a spring fixed on the micro switch body, and the spring is inserted between the shaft head and the top surface of the movable shaft.

[0010] The side surfaces of the disc-shaped hand-held portion on the top surface of the knob plunger are each provided with a plurality of anti-slip convex strips.

[0011] The above technical solution is adopted, and a simple positioning structure is located in the swing and flip structure of the C-arm X-ray machine. In order to ensure the repeatable positioning accuracy of the zero position of the swing and flip, a simple positioning structure is used. When at the zero position, the knob plunger of the positioning structure is stuck in the through groove of the knob seat. At this time, the cylinder of the knob plunger is stuck on the external rotating part of the flip structure.

[0012] When the knob plunger is pulled out, the ball head under the knob plunger will retract. After retracting, the rotating part connected to the ball head can rotate; when the knob plunger is not pulled out, the ball head under it matches the zero position hole of the external rotating part, and the rotating part cannot rotate.

[0018] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] See also Figure 1The schematic diagram of the structure of the present application shows a positioning structure, including a knob plunger 1 and a knob base 2. The top of the knob base has a knob plunger positioning groove 3 for use with the knob plunger, and the center of the knob plunger positioning groove has a socket 5 for accommodating the knob plunger. The knob plunger consists of an upper knob and a lower plunger 6. The bottom of the knob is provided with a movable shaft that can be inserted into the plunger. The movable shaft can rotate up and down within the plunger, and the bottom end of the movable shaft extends out of the bottom of the plunger. The top of the plunger is provided with a limit step, which is provided with a through groove. The bottom of the knob is provided with a shaft head for use with the through groove. The top of the knob base is provided with a micro switch assembly 8 for use with the knob plunger. The knob plunger consists of an upper knob plunger portion and a lower knob plunger positioning groove. The knob plunger positioning groove is fixed to the knob base. When the shaft head of the upper knob plunger is inserted into the through groove, it presses down the micro switch assembly, thereby turning on the micro switch assembly.

[0020] The through slot is a rectangular through slot, and the shaft head is a rectangular shaft head. The shaft head is stuck in the rectangular through slot to prevent the knob from rotating.

[0021] The micro switch assembly comprises an L-shaped support portion installed on the side of the knob seat, and a micro switch is installed on the top surface of the support portion.

[0022] The micro switch is composed of a micro switch body embedded in the support part 8.1 and a spring 8.3 fixed to the micro switch body, the spring is inserted between the shaft head and the top surface of the through slot. When in use, the shaft head presses down the spring, and the spring contacts the contact below.

[0023] The sides of the disc-shaped hand-held portion on the top surface of the knob plunger are all provided with several anti-skid convex strips 9. It is convenient to hold.

[0024] The bottom surface of the knob seat is provided with an annular groove, which cooperates with a nut to fix the knob plunger to complete the assembly of the knob plunger and the knob seat.

[0025] Here's how it works:

[0026] When in zero position, the shaft head in the knob plunger is stuck in the through slot of the rotating structure. At the same time, the shaft head on the knob plunger presses on the micro switch, so that the micro switch is in the on state. At this time, the host computer can know that the rotating structure is in zero position; when the shaft head on the upper part of the knob plunger is pulled up, the micro switch is in the off state. At the same time, the shaft head in the upper structure of the knob plunger is separated from the through slot of the rotating structure, and the host computer can know that the rotating structure is in a non-zero position.
