It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this utility model; the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] This embodiment discloses a dental CT medical vehicle, such as Figures 1-5 The vehicle comprises a front section 1 and a cargo compartment 2, facilitating flexible movement of the medical vehicle to different locations to provide oral CT examination services. The interior space of the cargo compartment 2 is rationally divided into a first compartment 20 and a second compartment 21, arranged side-by-side and connected by a movable door 23. This layout design allows the interior space of the medical vehicle to maintain relatively independent functional zones while enabling convenient flow of personnel and goods when needed. Specifically, the first compartment 20 is located near the rear of the cargo compartment 2, and the second compartment 21 is located near the front of the cargo compartment 2. An exit 22 is located at the rear of the cargo compartment 2, providing a reasonable flow of movement for medical personnel and patients.
[0033] The first compartment 20 houses the central control unit 4, which serves as the control core of the entire dental CT mobile medical vehicle. The central control unit 4 is equipped with various control devices, display equipment, and a data processing system. Medical personnel can send various commands to the vertical dental CT scanner 3 by operating the buttons, knobs, touchscreen, and other input devices on the central control unit 4. Simultaneously, the display equipment on the central control unit 4 displays the real-time operating status information of the vertical dental CT scanner 3, allowing medical personnel to monitor the equipment's operation at any time. Furthermore, the data processing system on the central control unit 4 performs preliminary processing and analysis on the received scan data from the vertical dental CT scanner 3, such as data format conversion and preliminary image reconstruction, and transmits the processed data to subsequent storage devices or display terminals for further diagnostic purposes by medical personnel.
[0034] The second compartment 21 houses a vertical dental CT scanner 3, a crucial piece of equipment for dental CT examinations. Once medical personnel issue a start command via the central control panel 4, the vertical dental CT scanner 3 begins operation. The X-ray source generates X-rays, which are collimated by a specific collimator to form a beam of a defined shape and size, which then irradiates the patient's oral cavity. The vertical dental CT scanner 3 transmits the acquired projection data to the central control panel 4 in real time. The central control panel 4 processes and analyzes the data to generate CT images of the patient's oral cavity. These images clearly display the three-dimensional structure inside the oral cavity, providing vital information for accurate diagnosis of oral diseases.
[0035] In actual use, the patient enters the first compartment 20 through exit 22 at the rear of compartment 2, where medical personnel guide the patient through pre-examination preparations. The patient then enters the second compartment 21 and positions themselves in front of the vertical dental CT scanner 3. Medical personnel return to the first compartment 20, activate the vertical dental CT scanner 3 via the central control panel 4, and adjust the scanning parameters according to the patient's specific condition. The vertical dental CT scanner 3 scans the patient's oral cavity according to the set parameters, and transmits the data to the central control panel 4 upon completion. The central control panel 4 processes the data and generates CT images, which medical personnel analyze to arrive at a diagnostic result. After the entire examination process is completed, the patient exits through exit 22 at the rear of compartment 2, and the medical vehicle can then be moved to the next service location to continue its work.
[0036] Through this structural layout and collaborative operation of equipment, the mobile dental CT medical vehicle provides convenient and efficient dental CT examination services. Equipped with 5G internet, the vehicle utilizes cloud storage and AI cloud computing power to analyze data, enabling patients to obtain intelligent diagnostic results within minutes. This allows the vehicle to reach grassroots medical institutions, communities, and remote areas, providing more patients with timely and accurate oral disease diagnostic support.
[0037] In some optional embodiments, the vertical dental CT scanner comprises a base 30, a support rod 31, a slide rod 32, and a testing device 33. The base 30, made of metal, is mounted on the bottom plate of the second compartment 21 to ensure equipment stability. The bottom of the support rod 31 is firmly connected to the base 30, providing vertical support for the slide rod 32 and the testing device 33. The slide rod 32 is parallel to the base 30, with one end connected to the support rod 31 via a sliding guide rail, allowing it to slide up and down on the support rod 31; the other end is connected to the testing device 33. The sliding of the slide rod 32 is driven by a motor, such as a stepper motor. The motor receives commands from the central control panel 4 to precisely control the movement distance and position of the slide rod 32 to accommodate the examination needs of patients of different heights. For example, for taller patients, the motor drives the slide rod 32 upwards, enabling the testing device 33 to accurately cover the patient's oral cavity area; for shorter patients, the height of the slide rod 32 is lowered.
[0038] In some optional embodiments, the testing instrument 33 includes a rotary motor 330, a U-shaped frame 331, a detector 332, and an X-ray combined head 333. The main body of the rotary motor 330 is fixed to the slide bar 32, with its drive end facing the base 30 and connected to the middle of the U-shaped frame 331. Both ends of the U-shaped frame 331 extend towards the base 30, and the detector 332 and the X-ray combined head 333 are respectively disposed at both ends of the frame and are positioned opposite each other. When scanning begins, the central control panel 4 sends a command to the rotary motor 330, which starts and drives the U-shaped frame 331 to rotate 5 degrees around the patient's oral cavity. The X-ray combined head 333 includes an X-ray tube and a high-voltage generator. The high-voltage generator provides a high-voltage electric field to the X-ray tube, causing electrons inside the X-ray tube to accelerate and strike the anode target under the action of high voltage, generating X-rays. The X-rays pass through the patient's oral tissues, and different tissues absorb X-rays to different degrees, resulting in differences in the intensity of the X-rays after transmission. Detector 332 receives X-ray signals passing through the oral cavity in real time and converts them into electrical signals. These electrical signals are then transmitted to the central control console 4 for further processing.
[0039] In some alternative embodiments, the base 30 is U-shaped, with both ends extending toward the tester 33, and one end being shorter than the other. This design facilitates access from the shorter end, and is especially convenient for patients to stand on the base 30 for oral examinations.
[0040] In some alternative embodiments, the central control unit 4 includes a workbench 40, which is installed on the side of the first compartment 20 near the second compartment 21. An observation window is provided on the wall of the first compartment 20 near the workbench 40, allowing medical staff in the first compartment 20 to clearly observe the patient's examination in the second compartment 21 through the observation window, and to observe for any adverse reactions from the patient so as to take timely measures.
[0041] In some optional embodiments, the operation panel 41 is mounted on the worktable 40 and connected to the vertical dental CT scanner via a data cable or wireless communication module. Medical personnel can input various operating commands through the control panel, such as setting scanning parameters (slice thickness, scanning range, exposure dose, etc.), selecting scanning modes (routine scan, fast scan, etc.), and starting or stopping the scan. Physical buttons are used for quick operation of some frequently used functions, such as an emergency stop button. In case of an emergency, medical personnel can quickly press this button to immediately stop the operation of the vertical dental CT scanner and ensure patient safety. The operation panel 41 converts the commands input by medical personnel into electrical signals, which are transmitted to the control system of the vertical dental CT scanner via the communication line. The control system then controls the various components of the equipment to complete the corresponding actions according to the commands.
[0042] In some optional embodiments, a folding chair 24 is provided on one side of the workbench 40, featuring a foldable structure for easy storage. A fixed slot 25 and operating panel 41 are provided on one side of the first compartment 20. When the folding chair 24 is folded, it can be placed in the fixed slot 25 and operating panel 41 without occupying extra space. This design provides seating for medical staff during rest or operation while ensuring the rational use of space in the first compartment 20. During the examination, medical staff can unfold the folding chair 24 as needed to sit down and operate the equipment. After the examination, the folding chair 24 can be folded and stored, keeping the first compartment 20 neat and orderly.
[0043] In some optional embodiments, both the first compartment 20 and the second compartment 21 are equipped with air conditioners 5 to keep the temperature inside the compartments stable within a suitable range, providing a comfortable environment for patients and medical staff.
[0044] In some optional embodiments, a ladder 6 is provided at the exit 22, and the ladder 6 is detachably connected to the edge of the exit 22. The ladder 6 is typically made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and durable. When a patient enters or leaves the vehicle 2, the ladder 6 is installed at the edge of the exit 22, allowing the patient to safely ascend or descend. The connection between the ladder 6 and the edge of the exit 22 can be a snap-fit or bolt-fixed method to ensure that the ladder 6 is securely installed and will not wobble. When the medical vehicle is in motion, the ladder 6 is removed and placed in a designated location inside the vehicle 2 to prevent the ladder 6 from swaying and affecting driving safety.
[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
