Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically to an auxiliary air cushion for medical imaging examination with a built-in air pump. Background Technology

[0002] Medical imaging examinations refer to examination methods that use a medium to interact with the human body, representing information such as the structure, density, and composition of internal tissues and organs in the form of images. Currently, medical imaging examinations such as CT and MRI require a relatively high degree of patient positioning. Patients need to maintain a horizontal position during the examination to ensure the accuracy and clarity of the images. Traditional medical imaging equipment usually relies on manually adjusting the patient's position or using simple support devices. These methods often cannot meet the individual differences of different patients, thus affecting the reliability of the examination results. Currently, in order to protect patients and ensure they maintain a horizontal position during medical imaging examinations, it is usually necessary to use medical imaging examination auxiliary air cushions for patient support.

[0003] Most auxiliary air cushions on the market use manual adjustment, which is inefficient and can easily cause discomfort to patients during the examination. In addition, they cannot adjust the air pressure in real time according to changes in the patient's body position, which may cause the patient to tilt or become unbalanced during the examination. To address this, we propose an auxiliary air cushion for medical imaging examinations with a built-in air pump. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medical imaging examination auxiliary air cushion with a built-in air pump to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a medical imaging examination auxiliary air cushion with a built-in air pump, comprising a supporting base plate and an adjustment component. T-shaped support members are installed at the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the supporting base plate, and a main air cushion is disposed on the upper surface of the supporting base plate. Secondary air cushions are connected to both sides of the T-shaped support members. The adjustment component is disposed on the surface of the main air cushion and includes a triaxial accelerometer, a safety valve, a solenoid valve, a main air pump, a secondary air pump, a MEMS pressure sensor, a wireless data module, and a microcontroller. The triaxial accelerometer is disposed on the upper surface of the main air cushion, and safety valves are disposed on the left surface of the main air cushion and the outer surface of the secondary air cushion. Solenoid valves are also installed on the left surface of the main air cushion and the outer surface of the secondary air cushion.

[0006] Furthermore, a main air pump is installed inside the support base plate, and the upper end of the main air pump is connected to the lower side of the main air pad.

[0007] Furthermore, the T-shaped support has auxiliary air pumps installed at both ends inside, and the air outlet of the auxiliary air pumps is connected to the inner surface of the auxiliary air pad. Four sets of auxiliary air pads are symmetrically arranged, and a MEMS pressure sensor is installed on the upper surface of the auxiliary air pad.

[0008] Furthermore, a wireless data module is installed on the left end of the rear surface of the support base plate, and a microcontroller is installed inside the wireless data module.

[0009] Furthermore, both the main air cushion and the secondary air cushion are tightly connected to the supporting base plate, and a main support pad is provided on the upper side of the main air cushion, and a secondary support pad is provided on the upper side of the secondary air cushion.

[0010] Furthermore, a control component for manual control is provided on the rear side of the support base plate, and the control component includes a protective frame, a control panel and a connector, wherein the protective frame is provided on the rear side of the support base plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a control panel is snapped into place inside the protective frame, and a connector is installed on the left side of the control panel.

[0012] Furthermore, the control component also includes a fixing member and a connecting plate, and the fixing member is installed on the left rear side of the support base plate. The connecting plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing member, and the outer end of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the connecting member.

[0013] This invention provides a medical imaging examination auxiliary air cushion with a built-in air pump, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model incorporates an adjustment component, including a triaxial accelerometer, a safety valve, a solenoid valve, a main air pump, a secondary air pump, a MEMS pressure sensor, a wireless data module, and a microcontroller. During use, the integrated triaxial accelerometer and MEMS pressure sensor monitor the patient's position and the pressure distribution of the air cushion in real time, ensuring timely acquisition of patient status information. The wireless data module converts the output signals from the triaxial accelerometer and MEMS pressure sensor into digital signals, which are then processed by the microcontroller. Simultaneously, the main and secondary air pumps are activated to inflate the main or secondary air cushion and to release air by opening the solenoid valve, thus adjusting the air cushion's level and ensuring the patient maintains optimal positioning during examination. Safety valves on the main and secondary air cushions prevent rupture due to excessive air pressure. This device, through automated air pressure regulation, significantly improves the efficiency of patient positioning during medical imaging examinations, reduces the workload of medical staff, avoids tilting and imbalance problems caused by manual adjustments in traditional equipment, and enhances patient comfort and the accuracy of examination results.

[0015] 2. This utility model incorporates a control component, including a protective frame, a control panel, and connectors. The control component also includes a fixing component and a connecting plate. During use, the control panel's user interface displays a real-time pressure distribution map and patient position information. A manual adjustment button is provided on the interface, allowing medical staff to manually increase or decrease the air pressure of the air cushion according to the patient's needs. The control panel is connected to the fixing component and connectors via the connecting plate, allowing it to rotate to the rear and snap into the protective frame. This protects the control panel from damage when not in use. The user interface design of the control panel allows medical staff to flexibly adjust the device according to the needs of different patients, meeting individual differences in body shape and position, and greatly expanding the clinical application scope of the equipment.
