[0038] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0039] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0040] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the objects being described and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct connection, indirect connection, and contact connection (linkage).

[0041] Mobile medical devices typically use handles to control their movement. When the main unit of the medical device is operating, the main unit's cables or the user may accidentally touch the handle, causing the entire device to slide, posing a significant safety hazard. To reduce these installation risks, this application includes a walking confirmation button on the medical device. Before operating the device via the handle, the walking confirmation button must be activated to move the handle. Without the handle being activated, the movement of the device frame cannot be controlled.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1The medical device includes a mobile gantry 1, a gantry drive system (not shown in the figure), and a control system (not shown in the figure). The gantry drive system is used to drive the mobile gantry 1 to move, and the control system is connected to the gantry drive system. The control system is able to control the operation of the gantry drive system.

[0043] For ease of use, please refer to the following: Figure 1 The medical device also includes a handle 2, and a control system connected to the handle 2 to receive operation signals from the handle 2. The handle 2 has an active state and a deactivated state; when the handle 2 is in the active state, the handle 2 can control the movement of the mobile frame 1, and when the handle 2 is in the deactivated state, it is deactivated from controlling the mobile frame 1. That is to say, the handle 2 can only control the movement of the mobile frame 1 when it is in the active state.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The medical device includes a walking confirmation button 3. The control system is connected to the walking confirmation button 3 so that the handle 2 can be activated after the walking confirmation button 3 is operated, so that the handle 2 is switched to the active state.

[0045] The handle 2 can be activated by the walking confirmation button 3, enabling it to control the movement of the mobile frame 1. When the handle 2 is inactive, accidental touch of the handle 2 will not cause the mobile frame 1 to move, thus improving the current problem of the mobile frame 1 sliding due to accidental touch of the handle 2 and enhancing the safety of the medical equipment.

[0046] In one embodiment, the handle 2 controls the movement of the mobile frame 1 in the following way: the user operates the handle 2, causing it to emit an operation signal, and the control system controls the movement of the mobile frame 1 according to the received operation signal. The control system controls the frame drive system to make the mobile frame 1 move in a set direction and speed.

[0047] Specifically, in one embodiment, the handle 2 controls the moving frame 1 in the following way: operating the handle 2 enables it to send forward, backward, or turning signals. The control system, based on the received operating signals, can control the moving frame 1 to perform forward, backward, or turning movements. Regarding the structure of the handle 2, it can adopt any feasible method in the prior art. For example, the handle 2 can be a lever-type structure. By operating the handle 2 to swing in different directions, different operating signals are sent to the control system. After receiving the different operating signals, the control system controls the frame drive system to perform corresponding movements.

[0048] It should be noted that the connection between the control system and other structures in this application includes both direct and indirect connections, and the specific connection forms include both wired and wireless connections.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1The rack drive system is an electric drive system, which includes rollers 4 installed at the bottom of the mobile rack 1 and a drive motor that drives the rollers 4 to move.

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The medical device is an ultrasound device, which includes an ultrasound host mounted on a mobile frame 1 for performing ultrasound scans on patients. In one embodiment, the ultrasound device also includes a display screen 5 and an operation panel 6, with a handle 2 and a walking confirmation button 3 both located on the operation panel 6. The operation panel 6 also has a host operation button 7 for operating the ultrasound host. In some other embodiments, the medical device can be any other feasible device, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) device or a radiographic imaging device.

[0051] In one embodiment, the medical device includes a handle sensor (not shown in the figure) for sensing when a user approaches or touches the handle 2. A control system is connected to the handle sensor to control the state of the handle 2 based on the sensing results of the handle sensor and the operation results of the walking confirmation button 3. By sensing the user's state through the handle sensor, the control system can more accurately control the state of the handle 2.

[0052] Specifically, in one embodiment, the handle sensor is a motion-activated switch. In some other embodiments, the handle sensor can be any feasible type, such as an infrared sensor, a laser sensor, a touch sensor, a pressure sensor, etc.

[0053] It should be noted that, as described in the above embodiments, "the user approaches the handle 2" means that the user has not touched the handle 2, but the user's palm has reached the distance sensed by the operation sensor, and the operation sensor can detect that the user is about to touch the handle 2. The sensing result of the handle sensor is whether the user is approaching or touching the handle 2. The operation result of the walking confirmation button 3 is whether the walking confirmation button 3 has performed a walking confirmation operation, such as a touch confirmation operation or a press confirmation operation.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The walking confirmation button 3 is used to activate the handle 2 when it is in the standby state and is touched. It is used to control the handle 2 to switch to the standby state when the handle sensor senses that the user has left the handle 2 or after a set time has passed since the user left the handle 2.

[0055] Handle 2 can only be activated by pressing the walking confirmation button 3 when the handheld sensor detects that the user is near or in contact with it. If the user is not near or in contact with handle 2, pressing the walking confirmation button 3 alone will not activate handle 2. Conversely, if the user is only near or in contact with handle 2, pressing the walking confirmation button 3 alone will also not activate handle 2. This design increases the device's safety and reduces the likelihood of slippage.

[0056] In one embodiment, when handle 2 is inactive, the controller controls the braking system of the medical device to stop the moving frame, and the moving frame of the medical device is in a stopped state and cannot slide. After handle 2 is activated, under the action of the control system, the braking system releases the braking effect, and the moving frame can move.

[0057] The walking confirmation button 3 can take any feasible form. In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 The walking confirmation key 3 is a touch key. The touch key can be a capacitive touch button, a resistive touch button, or an infrared sensor touch button, or any other feasible type. In another embodiment, the walking confirmation key 3 is a mechanical operation key. In one embodiment, the mechanical operation key is a mechanical button.

[0058] In one embodiment, the walking confirmation button 3 can also be a touch screen button. For example, it can be a button implemented separately through the touch screen, or a button integrated into the touch screen of the ultrasound device.

[0059] To facilitate users in obtaining the status of handle 2, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 5 The medical device includes a confirmation indicator light 12, which can be used to indicate the status of the handle 2 and / or the medical device. Depending on the needs, by configuring the relationship between the control system and the confirmation indicator light, in one embodiment, the confirmation indicator light 12 is used only to indicate the status of the handle 2; in another embodiment, the confirmation indicator light 12 is used only to indicate the status of the medical device; in yet another embodiment, the confirmation indicator light 12 can be used to indicate the status of both the handle 2 and the medical device.

[0060] In some other embodiments, in addition to the confirmation button indicator, the status of the handle and medical device can be displayed in other ways, such as directly on the device's display screen, or by providing sound prompts to indicate the status of the handle and medical device.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The confirmation indicator light 12 is a backlight located inside the walking confirmation key 3. Part of the walking confirmation key 3 is a light-transmitting part, so that the light of the confirmation indicator light 12 can be emitted through the light-transmitting part.

[0062] In one embodiment, the confirmation indicator light 12 can indicate the status of the handle 2 and / or the medical device through color. In another embodiment, the confirmation indicator light 12 can indicate the status of the handle 2 and / or the medical device through flashing frequency.

[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment, when a user needs to move the medical device, after approaching or touching the handle 2, the confirmation indicator light 12 illuminates. The control system detects the current status of the medical device, and the confirmation indicator light 12 illuminates with different colors and displays changes in flashing frequency to indicate different machine states and / or handle 2 states. Of course, in some other embodiments, the confirmation indicator light 12 may also indicate different states only through color, or only through the handle 2.

[0064] If the mobile frame 1 can be pushed, after the user operates the walking confirmation button 3, the confirmation button indicator light 12 will turn green, and the handle 2 will be activated. At this time, the handle 2 can be operated to control the movement of the mobile frame 1.

[0065] If the user leaves handle 2 or leaves handle 2 for a set time, the mobile frame 1 will immediately stop moving, the confirmation indicator 12 will flash to indicate this, and a countdown will begin to exit the activation state. If the user grasps handle 2 again during the countdown to exit the activation state, the mobile frame 1 can continue to be pushed without having to activate handle 2 again by pressing the walking confirmation button 3.

[0066] If the mobile rack 1 malfunctions and cannot move, the confirmation indicator 12 will display different colored lights and different flashing frequencies to reflect the current status of the medical device. The user can use the status display to locate the root cause of why the medical device does not support movement.

[0067] In one embodiment, to further facilitate user operation of the medical device, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The medical device includes a main power switch 8 and at least two status indicator icons 9. The at least two status indicator icons 9 and a walking confirmation button 3 are arranged around the main power switch 8. The main power switch 8 is used to control the opening and closing of the main unit of the medical device. This arrangement of the status indicator icons 9, the main power switch 8, and the walking confirmation button 3 makes it convenient for the user to observe and operate.

[0068] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The medical device includes at least two icon indicator lights (not shown in the figure), and the status indicator icon 9 corresponds to at least one icon indicator light. The status indicator icon 9 can be illuminated by the corresponding icon indicator light.

[0069] Specifically, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The status indicator icons 9 include a battery icon, a standby icon, an AC icon, a hard drive light icon, and a battery level icon 91. The battery level icon 91 corresponds to 5 indicator lights, each indicating 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% battery level respectively.

[0070] In one embodiment, both the icon indicator light and the confirmation button indicator light 12 are LED lights.

[0071] Specifically, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The medical device includes a panel cover 10, a status indicator icon 9, and a walking confirmation button 3, all sharing the same panel cover 10.

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The status indicator icon 9 and the walking confirmation button 3 use different panel covers 10. The walking confirmation button 3 is independently installed next to the status indicator icon 9.

[0073] Specifically, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The panel cover 10 is annular and has a cover hole 101, in which the main unit power switch 8 is located.

[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The panel cover 10 is a glass cover, and the status indicator icon 9 is silkscreened on the panel cover 10.

[0075] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The medical device includes an operation panel 6, which is mounted on a mobile frame 1. A walking confirmation button 3 is mounted on the operation panel 6.
