Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of breast CT, specifically to a support component for breast scanning. Background Technology

[0002] A breast CT scan is performed to detect serious breast diseases, such as breast cancer and malignant breast tumors, so as to facilitate early prevention and treatment. Breast CT, or computed tomography, is an examination performed using X-rays. It uses X-rays to penetrate breast tissue, and the computer processes the scan data to display the internal structure of the breast in the form of images. Breast MRI, on the other hand, uses a magnetic field to cause changes in the position of water molecules in the body. Under the influence of the magnetic field, hydrogen atoms in the water molecules resonate, generating signals, which in turn form images of the breast. Breast CT scanners are equipped with support components to support the equipment.

[0003] However, traditional support components have the following drawbacks:

[0004] Traditional support components have poor compressive strength. Under the action of external force, the support components may suffer surface damage or surface dents and deformation, which will affect the normal use of subsequent breast scanning equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support component for breast scanning, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the traditional support components have poor compressive strength and may suffer surface damage or surface depression and deformation under the action of external force, which affects the normal use of subsequent breast scanning equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a support assembly for breast scanning, comprising a housing, wherein a plurality of annular support mechanisms are fixedly installed inside the housing, and a plurality of scanning bed frames are fixedly installed between the plurality of annular support mechanisms. Each of the scanning bed frames includes a fixed plate and a first upright plate. The middle part of the top of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first upright plate. A second upright plate is fixedly installed on one side of the first upright plate, and a plurality of assembly plates are fixedly installed on one side of the second upright plate. Each of the plurality of annular support mechanisms includes an annular support ring and two triangular support frames. One end of each of the two triangular support frames is fixedly connected to the side opposite to the annular support ring. The housing is fixed on the annular support mechanisms, and the annular support mechanisms are connected to the housing and fixed on the scanning bed frames for bearing and supporting the housing. The scanning bed frames are connected to the annular support mechanisms for bearing all the annular support mechanisms and bearing the weight of the housing.

[0007] Preferably, mounting plates are fixedly installed on the side of each of the two triangular support frames away from the annular support ring. Mounting holes are opened on the surface of each of the two mounting plates. The triangular support frame adopts a triangular structure, which has extremely high stability. This structure can provide stable support in the equipment and effectively distribute the pressure on the equipment, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0008] Preferably, one side of each of the two mounting pieces is fixedly connected to the scanning bed frame. The user screws through the mounting holes, and the threads on the screw surface match the threads on the inner wall of the mounting hole, thus fixing the mounting piece to the scanning frame.

[0009] Preferably, sealing strips are laid on both the top and bottom of the annular support ring, and several heat dissipation holes are opened on the surface of the annular support ring. The sealing strips provide dustproof and waterproof sealing protection from the top and bottom of the annular support ring. The opening of the heat dissipation holes facilitates the heat generated inside the breast scanning device to be transferred and dissipated by the low-temperature gas in the external environment.

[0010] Preferably, fixing holes are provided on both sides of the top of the fixing plate. Screws pass through the fixing holes, and the threads on the inner wall of the fixing holes match the threads on the surface of the screws. Therefore, the screws rotate and extend relative to the fixing holes to fix the fixing plate.

[0011] Preferably, the surfaces of the first and second upright plates are provided with a plurality of wire-passing holes, and the wires connected to the breast scanning device pass through the wire-passing holes in a limited manner to avoid the phenomenon of wires crossing each other.

[0012] Preferably, the ends of several assembly plates away from the second vertical plate are fixedly connected to the annular support mechanism, and the scanning bed frame is mounted on the annular support mechanism through the assembly plates.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting up a ring support mechanism, the length rod, extension rod and reinforcing rod divide the internal space of the support shell into multiple stable triangles, which improves the compressive strength of the support shell itself, and the top plate has anti-corrosion, flame-retardant and compressive strength. The establishment of the ring support mechanism improves the compressive strength of the entire support assembly, avoids the surface damage or surface dent deformation that may occur under the action of external force collision, and ensures the normal use of the subsequent breast scanning equipment.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This invention provides a support assembly for breast scanning, including a housing 1. The housing 1 serves as the external protective structure for the entire support assembly and plays a crucial role in the breast scanning device. It not only enhances aesthetics, adding a professional and clean appearance to the entire device, but more importantly, it effectively prevents the external environment from affecting the internal structure.

[0021] In terms of material selection, the outer casing 1 typically possesses a certain degree of strength and durability. This is to withstand a certain amount of external impact without easily being damaged. For example, in the environment where medical equipment is placed, it may accidentally suffer some minor bumps, or it may encounter some bumps during transportation. If the material of the outer casing 1 is not strong enough, it will easily develop dents, breaks, etc., thereby affecting the normal use of the equipment.

[0022] Considering practical usage scenarios, the outer casing 1 must be strong enough to withstand a certain degree of impact. For example, it should remain intact when small objects accidentally fall and hit it. Durability is also crucial. Over long-term use, the outer casing 1 must withstand the test of time and not exhibit aging or deformation due to frequent use or environmental factors. This requires the material of the outer casing 1 to have good corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

[0023] To meet these requirements, the outer casing 1 is typically made of high-strength plastics or metal alloys. These materials not only possess high strength but also maintain stable performance under various environmental conditions. For example, high-strength plastics are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have good insulation properties, making them ideal for medical device casings. Metal alloys, on the other hand, offer even greater strength and durability, capable of withstanding greater external impacts.

[0024] In addition, the design of the outer casing 1 also needs to take into account heat dissipation and ventilation. Although the heat dissipation holes 23 of the ring support mechanism 2 in the support assembly are mainly responsible for the heat dissipation of the breast scanning device, the outer casing 1 cannot be completely sealed. It needs to have a certain ventilation design to ensure air circulation inside the device and avoid affecting the performance and lifespan of the device due to overheating.

[0025] The annular support mechanism 2 provides support and stability. Each annular support mechanism 2 consists of an annular support ring 21 and two triangular support frames 24. The annular support ring 21 has a circular ring structure, and its material typically has high strength and stability, enabling it to withstand significant weight. This is because in breast scanning equipment, the annular support ring 21 needs to support the outer shell 1 and various internal electronic components and mechanical structures, thus requiring sufficient strength to bear these weights.

[0026] The choice of material for the annular support ring 21 is crucial. Generally, high-strength metals such as aluminum alloys and stainless steel are selected. These metals possess excellent mechanical properties, enabling them to maintain shape stability while bearing weight. For example, aluminum alloys are lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for manufacturing the annular support ring 21. Stainless steel offers even higher strength and corrosion resistance, allowing for long-term use in harsh environments.

[0027] Sealing strips 22 are provided at both the top and bottom of the annular support ring 21. The sealing strips 22 are made of a material with excellent sealing properties, effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering the support assembly, thus protecting the internal electronic components and mechanical structures. Dust and moisture are very common problems in the operating environment of medical devices. If these impurities enter the device, they may cause short circuits in electronic components, rust on mechanical structures, and other problems, thus affecting the normal operation of the device.

[0028] The sealing strip 22 is typically made of materials with good elasticity and sealing performance, such as rubber or silicone. These materials can fit tightly against the surface of the annular support ring 21, forming an effective protective barrier. At the same time, the installation of the sealing strip 22 requires great precision to ensure that there are no gaps at the joint with the annular support ring 21, thereby achieving the best sealing effect.

[0029] In addition to its sealing function, the annular support ring 21 also has several heat dissipation holes 23 on its surface. The placement of these holes 23 is crucial because the breast scanning device generates heat during operation. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, the internal temperature of the device will rise, affecting its performance and lifespan. The heat dissipation holes 23 facilitate heat transfer between the breast scanning device and the low-temperature external air, ensuring the device operates at a suitable temperature and extending its lifespan.

[0030] The design of the heat dissipation holes 23 needs to consider a balance between heat dissipation effect and protection performance. On the one hand, the number and size of the heat dissipation holes 23 must be sufficient to ensure good heat dissipation. On the other hand, the position and shape of the heat dissipation holes 23 must also be reasonable to prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from easily entering the equipment. For example, protective mesh or filters can be installed on the outside of the heat dissipation holes 23 to prevent impurities from entering the equipment.

[0031] One end of each of the two triangular support frames 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the annular support ring 21 opposite to it. The triangular support frames 24 adopt a triangular structure, which has extremely high stability. In physics, a triangle is one of the most stable structures because it can evenly distribute external forces in all directions, thereby greatly reducing the risk of damage caused by excessive local stress.

[0032] In breast scanning equipment, the triangular support frame 24 provides stable support and effectively distributes the pressure on the equipment. Whether it's the weight of the equipment itself or external forces that may be applied during use, the triangular support frame 24 can evenly distribute them in all directions, thus ensuring the stability of the annular support ring 21. This is crucial for the normal operation of the equipment, because unstable support may cause the equipment to shake or vibrate during operation, thereby affecting the accuracy and reliability of the scan.

[0033] Mounting plates 25 are fixedly installed on the side of each of the two triangular support brackets 24 away from the annular support ring 21. The mounting plates 25 are made of metal and have high strength and hardness. The function of the mounting plates 25 is to fix the annular support mechanism 2 to the scanning bed frame 3. Mounting holes 26 are formed on the surface of both mounting plates 25. The user can screw screws through the mounting holes 26; the threads on the screw surface match the threads on the inner wall of the mounting hole 26, thereby fixing the mounting plates 25 to the scanning bed frame 3.

[0034] The design of the mounting plate 25 needs to consider both ease of installation and secureness. On one hand, the position and size of the mounting holes 26 must be reasonable so that users can easily pass screws through them. On the other hand, the mounting plate 25 must have sufficient strength and hardness to ensure that deformation or breakage does not occur during the fixing process. Simultaneously, the selection of screws is also crucial; high-strength, corrosion-resistant screws must be used to ensure a secure fixation.

[0035] As a key component of the support assembly of the breast scanning device, the ring support mechanism 2, with its ring support ring 21, triangular support frame 24, sealing strip 22, and heat dissipation holes 23, provides important guarantees for the stable operation and heat dissipation of the device.

[0036] The scanning bed frame 3 is another important component of the support assembly, which bears the important task of supporting the weight of the ring support mechanism 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0037] Each of the several scanning bed frames 3 includes a fixed plate 31 and a first upright plate 33. The middle of the top of the fixed plate 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first upright plate 33. The fixed plate 31 is a rectangular plate structure, and its material usually has high strength and stability. This is because the fixed plate 31 needs to bear the weight of the entire support assembly, so it must have sufficient strength to ensure that it will not deform or break during use.

[0038] The material selection for the fixing plate 31 typically considers high-strength metals or engineering plastics. These materials possess excellent mechanical properties, enabling them to maintain shape stability while bearing weight. For example, metals have high strength and hardness, allowing them to withstand significant pressure. Engineering plastics, on the other hand, offer advantages such as light weight, corrosion resistance, and good insulation, making them ideal for applications where weight is a critical factor.

[0039] Fixing holes 32 are provided on both sides of the top of the fixing plate 31. Screws can pass through the fixing holes 32. Since the threads on the inner wall of the fixing hole 32 match the threads on the surface of the screw, the screw can rotate and extend relative to the fixing hole 32, thereby fixing the fixing plate 31. This fixing method is simple and reliable, ensuring that the fixing plate 31 will not loosen during use.

[0040] The design of the fixing hole 32 needs to consider both the firmness and convenience of fixing. On the one hand, the inner thread of the fixing hole 32 must fit tightly with the thread of the screw to ensure a firm fixation. On the other hand, the position and size of the fixing hole 32 must be reasonable so that the user can easily pass the screw through the fixing hole 32 for fixing.

[0041] A second upright plate 34 is fixedly installed on one side of the first upright plate 33. The first upright plate 33 and the second upright plate 34 are perpendicular to each other and together constitute the main structure of the scanning bed frame 3. The first upright plate 33 and the second upright plate 34 are usually made of the same material as the fixed plate 31, and have high strength and stability. Their function is to provide stable support for the ring support mechanism 2, and also to provide installation positions for other components of the equipment.

[0042] Several assembly plates 35 are fixedly installed on one side of the second upright plate 34. The ends of the assembly plates 35 away from the second upright plate 34 are all fixedly connected to the annular support mechanism 2. The scanning bed frame 3 is mounted on the annular support mechanism 2 through the assembly plates 35. This connection method is firm and reliable, ensuring that the scanning bed frame 3 will not separate from the annular support mechanism 2 during use.

[0043] The design of the assembly plate 35 needs to consider both the strength and ease of connection. On the one hand, the strength and rigidity of the assembly plate 35 must be sufficient to ensure that no deformation or breakage occurs during the connection process. On the other hand, the shape and size of the assembly plate 35 must be reasonable to facilitate connection with the ring support mechanism 2.

[0044] Meanwhile, several wire-passing holes 36 are provided on the surface of the first upright plate 33 and the surface of the second upright plate 34. The wires connected to the breast scanning equipment can pass through the wire-passing holes 36 to a limited extent, which can avoid the phenomenon of wires crossing each other, making the circuit more neat and orderly, and facilitating the maintenance and management of the equipment.

[0045] The design of the wire-passing hole 36 needs to take into account the number and diameter of the wires. On the one hand, the number of wire-passing holes 36 must be sufficient to meet the needs of various wires passing through in the equipment. On the other hand, the diameter of the wire-passing hole 36 must be reasonable, neither too large nor too small, to ensure that the wires can easily pass through the wire-passing hole 36, while also preventing the wires from shaking or wearing out in the wire-passing hole 36.

[0046] As an important component of the support assembly of the breast scanning equipment, the design of the scanning bed frame 3, including the fixing plate 31, the first upright plate 33, the second upright plate 34, the assembly plate 35, and the wire hole 36, provides important guarantees for the stable operation and maintenance management of the equipment.

[0047] The outer casing 1 is fixed to the annular support mechanism 2, which is connected to the outer casing 1 and fixed to the scanning bed frame 3, serving to support and bear the weight of the outer casing 1. The scanning bed frame 3 is connected to the annular support mechanism 2 and serves to support all the annular support mechanisms 2 and the weight of the outer casing 1. In actual use, the various components cooperate with each other to provide stable support and protection for the breast scanning equipment.

[0048] First, the outer shell 1 is connected to the scanning bed frame 3 via the annular support mechanism 2, forming a whole. The outer shell 1 provides external protection to effectively prevent the external environment from affecting the internal structure, while the annular support mechanism 2 and the scanning bed frame 3 provide stable support for the outer shell 1.

[0049] The annular support ring 21 and the triangular support frame 24 in the annular support mechanism 2 cooperate with each other to provide stable support for the outer casing 1 and the internal electronic components and mechanical structures. The high strength and stability of the annular support ring 21 can withstand a large weight, while the triangular structure of the triangular support frame 24 can effectively distribute the pressure on the equipment and improve the stability of the support.

[0050] Meanwhile, the sealing strip 22 and heat dissipation holes 23 on the annular support ring 21 also provide important protection for the normal operation of the equipment. The sealing strip 22 can effectively prevent dust and moisture from entering the equipment, protecting electronic components and mechanical structures; the heat dissipation holes 23 can dissipate the heat generated during the operation of the equipment in a timely manner, ensuring that the equipment operates at a suitable temperature.

[0051] The fixing plate 31, first upright plate 33, second upright plate 34, assembly plate 35, and wire hole 36 in the scanning bed frame 3 cooperate with each other to provide stable load-bearing for the annular support mechanism 2 and the outer shell 1. The high strength and stability of the fixing plate 31 can withstand the weight of the entire support assembly, while the first upright plate 33, second upright plate 34, and assembly plate 35 provide stable support for the annular support mechanism 2. The design of the wire hole 36 allows the wires in the equipment to be more neat and orderly, facilitating the maintenance and management of the equipment.

[0052] The outer shell 1, the ring support mechanism 2, and the scanning bed frame 3 work together to provide stable support and protection for the breast scanning equipment. This rational structural design effectively improves the performance and lifespan of the equipment, providing more accurate and reliable results for medical diagnosis.

[0053] The support component for breast scanning of this utility model has a reasonable structural design. Through the cooperation of the outer shell 1, the ring support mechanism 2 and the scanning bed frame 3, it provides stable support and protection for the breast scanning equipment.

[0054] The outer casing 1, serving as the external protective structure, serves both aesthetic purposes and prevents the external environment from affecting the internal structure. The strength and durability of its material ensure the safety of the equipment. The annular support ring 21 and triangular support frame 24 in the annular support mechanism 2 provide stable support for the equipment, while the sealing strip 22 and heat dissipation holes 23 serve the functions of dust and water protection and heat dissipation, respectively. The various components in the scanning bed frame 3 cooperate with each other to provide stable load-bearing for the annular support mechanism 2 and the outer casing 1. The design of the wiring hole 36 makes the equipment's wiring neater and more organized.

[0055] However, this support assembly also presents some challenges. Installation and disassembly can be complex and require professional handling. This is because the connections between the various components are delicate, necessitating the use of specific tools and methods. For some breast scanning devices of particular sizes, customized adjustments may be necessary. This is because different models of breast scanning devices may vary in size and weight, requiring adjustments and optimizations to the support assembly based on specific circumstances.

[0056] To address these issues, greater emphasis can be placed on ease of installation and disassembly during the design and manufacturing process, employing simpler and more intuitive connection methods to facilitate user-friendly installation and disassembly. Simultaneously, universal support components can be developed to accommodate breast scanning devices of different sizes and models, reducing the need for customized adjustments.

[0057] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
