Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical examination technology, specifically, it is a device that can adjust the height of the head, neck and shoulders. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of human medical technology, advanced imaging equipment has emerged one after another. Whether it is routine radiology equipment such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound, or the "crown jewel" of nuclear medicine tumor examination, PET / CT and PET / MRI, most equipment examinations require the patient to lie supine and immobile for 5-20 minutes to obtain the best image quality and diagnostic accuracy. However, more than half of the patients undergoing these examinations are elderly and often exhibit various degenerative spinal conditions such as scoliosis and forward head and neck. It is difficult for patients to keep their heads still on their own. To ensure the patient can complete the examination smoothly and obtain the best image quality, technicians usually place pillows or clothing under the patient's head and neck, adjusting the height by constantly adding or removing pillows or clothing. This operation is relatively time-consuming and laborious, and it is impossible to fix the brain and neck. For detailed brain and neck examinations, fixing the position takes a long time.
[0003] The prior art discloses a body position adjustment device for hospital examinations, authorized announcement number CN201642354U. The device includes a base plate and a lifting support plate. The base plate and the lifting support plate are hinged together by a movable shaft. A small electric hydraulic top is installed between the base plate and the lifting support plate. The base plate is equipped with a hydraulic top switch. A soft pad is installed on the upper surface of the lifting support plate.
[0004] However, the aforementioned patent still cannot solve the problem of fixing the body position. Furthermore, due to the inclusion of a small electric hydraulic top containing metal parts, the small electric hydraulic top often affects the detection process and causes signal interference when it enters the instrument's detection position. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device that can adjust the height of the head, neck, and shoulders, facilitating quick fixation of the body position and ensuring the smooth progress of the testing process.
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A device for adjusting head, neck, and shoulder height includes a detector, a frame fixed near the detector, and a bed that is horizontally mounted on the frame. The head of the bed is a platform-type adjustable table made of non-metallic material, and the upper side of the adjustable table is provided with:
[0007] The multi-layered airbags are wedge-shaped and attached to the upper side of an adjustable platform. Each layer of airbags has a wedge-shaped structure, with the narrowest end of the airbag facing the shoulder.
[0008] A flexible support pad for supporting the head, neck and shoulders. The airbag tilts to support the support pad. The lowest end of the support pad is close to the shoulder. The support surface of the support pad is provided with a head support groove, a neck support groove, a shoulder support groove and two arm positioning grooves to respectively position the head, neck, shoulders and arms.
[0009] Furthermore, the shoulder support groove is connected to the lowest edge of the support pad.
[0010] Furthermore, the two arm positioning slots and the shoulder support slots are connected as a whole.
[0011] Furthermore, the headrest, neckrest, and shoulder rest are connected in sequence.
[0012] Furthermore, the support surface of the support pad is connected to at least one hand strap and two elbow straps. The hand strap is close to the hand positioning area of the arm positioning groove, and the elbow strap is close to the elbow positioning area of the arm positioning groove. The hand strap is used to bind the hand in the arm positioning groove, and the two elbow straps bind the two elbows to their respective arm positioning grooves.
[0013] Furthermore, the support surface of the support pad is connected to a head strap, which is located near the headrest and is used to secure the head in the headrest.
[0014] Furthermore, the hand straps, elbow straps, and head straps are all made of Velcro.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a flexible bottom connector, through which the lowest end of the support pad is flexibly connected to the adjustable platform.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. The head, neck, shoulders, and arms are positioned by headrest, neckrest, shoulder rest, and arm positioning grooves, respectively. The head, neck, and shoulders are fixed by hand straps, elbow straps, and head straps. This can lock the head, neck, and shoulders of the human body at a relatively low cost. The pitch angle of the support pad is controlled by controlling the inflation of the airbag, which can complete the lifting and lowering movements. It can well meet the needs of elderly patients with abnormal posture (such as thoracic scoliosis, head and neck forward tilt fixed posture) for head, neck and shoulder position fixation, support, and height adjustment during examination or treatment.
[0018] 2. Since the support pad, straps, airbags and adjustable stage are all made of non-metallic materials, they will not cause artifacts or signal interference to the detector. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an adjustable head, neck, and shoulder height device is proposed, including a detector 8, a frame 11 fixed near the detector 8, and a bed 10 that is horizontally mounted on the frame 11. The head of the bed 10 is a platform-type adjustable table 1 made of non-metallic material (such as rigid plastic). The upper side of the adjustable table 1 is provided with:
[0025] The multi-layered airbag 3, which is wedge-shaped in shape and attached to the upper side of the adjustable platform 1, has a wedge-shaped structure in each layer. The narrowest end of the airbag 3 faces the shoulder. The airbag 3 can be connected to a high-pressure air source through a pipeline, such as an electric air pump that is kept at a sufficient distance from the detector 8. Correspondingly, the airbag 3 will also have a controllable deflation end. The settings of the airbag 3 itself can refer to many existing solutions.
[0026] A flexible support pad 2 (material not limited, any modification is within the scope of patent protection) is used to support the head, neck, and shoulders of the subject 9. An airbag 3 tilts to support the support pad 2, with the lowest point of the support pad 2 close to the shoulder area. Figure 4 As shown, the support surface of the support pad 2 is provided with a head support groove 201, a neck support groove 202, a shoulder support groove 203, and two arm positioning grooves 204 to respectively position the head, neck, shoulders, and arms. The support pad 2 can be customized, and the head support groove 201, neck support groove 202, shoulder support groove 203, and two arm positioning grooves 204 can be integrally formed.
[0027] The bottom connector 4 (such as fabric) is flexible, and the lowest end of the support pad 2 is flexibly connected to the adjustable platform 1 through the bottom connector 4. The bottom connector 4 constitutes the pitch and rotation point of the support pad 2.
[0028] Among them, such as Figure 4As shown, the shoulder support groove 203 connects to the lowest edge of the support pad 2, meaning one side of the shoulder support groove 203 is open. The internal space of the shoulder support groove 203 is larger than the shoulders of the examinee 9, allowing the examinee 9 to rest their shoulders comfortably in the shoulder support groove 203 when lying down. The two arm positioning grooves 204 are connected to the shoulder support groove 203 as a single unit. The connection between the arm positioning groove 204 and the shoulder support groove 203 is relatively wide, allowing the shoulder and arm connection to pass through unimpeded. The head support groove 201, neck support groove 202, and shoulder support groove 203 are sequentially connected, facilitating one-piece molding. During use, the examinee 9 only needs to lie down to quickly position the head, neck, and shoulders. Figure 4 As can be seen, the two arm positioning slots 204 are V-shaped and arranged opposite each other. When in use, the patient is guided to raise both arms upward and bend them inward (the bending point is at the elbow), and then place both arms and hands into the two arm positioning slots 204. The arm positioning slots 204 can be designed into other shapes according to the needs of specific scenarios, which are not limited here.
[0029] As one of the optional solutions, the bottom surfaces of the headrest 201, neckrest 202, shoulder rest 203, and arm positioning grooves 204 are matched with the surfaces of the corresponding parts.
[0030] To fix the position of the arm and hand, the support surface of the support pad 2 is connected to a hand strap 5 and two elbow straps 6. The hand strap 5 is close to the hand positioning area of the arm positioning groove 204, and the elbow straps 6 are close to the elbow positioning area of the arm positioning groove 204. The hand strap 5 is used to bind the hand in the arm positioning groove 204, and the two elbow straps 6 bind the two elbows in their respective arm positioning grooves 204.
[0031] In order to fix the head position, the support surface of the support pad 2 is connected to the head strap 7. The head strap 7 is close to the head support 201 and is used to bind the head in the head support 201.
[0032] The aforementioned hand straps 5, elbow straps 6, and head straps 7 are all made of Velcro (a commonly used flexible non-metallic material). One end of these straps is connected to the support pad 2, and the other end is a nylon adhesive end. When tightened, the nylon adhesive end of the strap adheres to the support surface of the support pad 2, thereby locking the head, neck, and shoulder areas of the body. As is common knowledge, since the straps are Velcro, unlocking is also very convenient. It is worth noting that the hand straps 5, elbow straps 6, and head straps 7 can also be made of other forms of straps, which are not limited here, and any modifications are within the protection scope of this patent.
[0033] Since the support pad 2, each strap, airbag 3 and adjustable platform 1 are all made of non-metallic materials, not only can the material be set to be of appropriate softness and hardness, but it will also prevent the detector 8 from generating artifacts and signal interference.
[0034] The head, neck, shoulders, and arms are positioned by the head support 201, neck support 202, shoulder support 203, and arm positioning slots 204, respectively. The head, neck, and shoulders are fixed by the hand straps 5, elbow straps 6, and head straps 7. The head, neck, and shoulders can be locked at a relatively low cost. The pitch angle of the support pad 2 is controlled by controlling the inflation of the airbag 3, which completes the lifting and lowering movements. It can well meet the needs of elderly patients with abnormal posture (such as thoracic scoliosis, head and neck forward tilt fixed posture) for head, neck, and shoulder position fixation, support, and height adjustment during examination or treatment.
