Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to a shell module and a computed tomography (CT) scanning device. Background Technology

[0002] CT (Computed Tomography) is a scanning technique that uses precisely collimated X-ray beams, gamma rays, ultrasound waves, etc., along with highly sensitive detectors to scan a specific part of the human body one section after another. It features fast scanning time and clear images and can be used to examine a variety of diseases.

[0003] The casing of computed tomography (CT) scanners is typically secured with screws. This screw-fastening method requires sufficient space for the tools used, usually manifesting as openings on the exterior surface. This affects the cleanliness and aesthetics of the device. There are generally two solutions: The first is to conceal the screw holes or screws themselves (by painting, adding coverings, etc.). This method can mitigate the impact on the appearance to some extent, but may also present problems such as protruding screws, color differences, and new visible seams. The second solution is to hide the screw joints in a less visible location, typically on the top of the CT scanner or near the ground. However, the presence of screws in these locations is often inconvenient for production and service personnel. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new casing securing method to minimize the impact on the appearance of the CT scanner. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a housing module and a computed tomography (CT) scanning device for solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] A housing module, the housing module comprising:

[0006] Housing fixing part;

[0007] The inclined portion of the outer casing is independently provided relative to the fixed portion of the outer casing, and a gap is formed between the inclined portion of the outer casing and the fixed portion of the outer casing;

[0008] The frame has a fixed mounting part, which is disposed inside the outer shell fixing part and is detachably connected to the outer shell fixing part through a connecting mechanism;

[0009] The connecting mechanism includes an unlocking component, which is at least partially disposed in the area where the gap is located. When the unlocking component is subjected to force, it can release the lock between the outer shell fixing part and the fixed mounting part.

[0010] It is understandable that the gap between the housing fixing part and the housing tilting part is used as a channel for controlling the unlocking control between the housing fixing part and the fixed mounting part on the frame. This allows the connecting mechanism used to connect the housing fixing part and the fixed mounting part to be housed inside the housing module. In this way, not only does the setting of the connecting mechanism not affect the appearance of the housing module, ensuring a neat and beautiful appearance, but it also facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the housing fixing part.

[0011] In one embodiment, the unlocking member has a pushing surface, through which the unlocking member can be subjected to force to unlock the lock between the housing fixing part and the fixed mounting part.

[0012] Understandably, the unlocking component is subjected to force through its pushing surface, allowing the operator to use an external tool to push the pushing surface of the unlocking component during the production or service process. This unlocks the housing from the fixed part and the fixed mounting part, making it easier for the operator to drive the unlocking component and facilitating its operation.

[0013] In one embodiment, the connecting mechanism further includes a hanging shaft and a latch assembly, the latch assembly including a locking plate, the locking plate being connected to the hanging shaft in a snap-fit ​​manner and being drivenly connected to the unlocking member;

[0014] The hanging shaft is mounted on the fixed mounting part, and the buckle assembly is mounted on the outer shell fixing part; or, the hanging shaft is mounted on the outer shell fixing part, and the buckle assembly is mounted on the fixed mounting part.

[0015] In one embodiment, the locking plate has a snap-fit ​​portion that can snap into the hanging shaft;

[0016] The buckle assembly further includes a fixing seat with a notch. The locking plate is rotatably installed in the fixing seat, and the snap-fit ​​portion is at least partially located in the area of ​​the notch and communicates with the notch.

[0017] In one embodiment, the latch assembly further includes an elastic element installed inside the fixing base and abutting against the locking plate and the fixing base respectively;

[0018] The elastic element can provide the locking plate with an elastic force when it is reset.

[0019] Understandably, by using the elastic element to push against the locking plate, the locking plate can automatically lock the hanging shaft. In this way, the operator only needs to push the outer casing fixing part into the fixed mounting part to achieve locking between the outer casing fixing part and the fixed mounting part, which facilitates the assembly of the outer casing fixing part.

[0020] In one embodiment, the latch assembly further includes a transmission plate rotatably mounted on the fixed base and throttle connected to the locking plate;

[0021] The unlocking component is mounted on the transmission plate.

[0022] It is understandable that a transmission plate is used to drive the unlocking component to the locking plate, which ensures that the unlocking component can be driven by an external tool passing through the gap, thereby facilitating the assembly of the latch assembly on the housing fixing part or the fixed mounting part.

[0023] In one embodiment, the frame further has an inclined mounting portion disposed within and connected to the inclined portion of the housing.

[0024] In one embodiment, the number of the outer shell fixing parts is configured to be two, and the two outer shell fixing parts are disposed on both sides of the width direction of the inclined portion of the outer shell; and the number of the connecting mechanisms between the two outer shell fixing parts and the inclined portion of the outer shell is configured to be multiple, and at least two of the multiple connecting mechanisms are arranged on the diagonal side of the inclined portion of the outer shell.

[0025] And / or, the number of the connecting mechanisms between the housing fixing part and the housing inclined part is configured to be multiple, and at least two of the multiple connecting mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the length direction of the housing inclined part.

[0026] It is understandable that the structure of the above-mentioned multiple connecting mechanisms can ensure the stability of the two housing fixing parts when installed on the inclined part of the housing.

[0027] In one embodiment, the number of the outer casing fixing parts is configured to be two, and the two outer casing fixing parts are disposed on both sides of the width direction of the inclined portion of the outer casing;

[0028] The outer casing module also includes an outer casing bottom, which is located below the inclined portion of the outer casing and is screwed to the two outer casing fixing portions respectively.

[0029] This application also claims protection for an electronic computed tomography (CT) scanner, including the aforementioned housing module.

[0030] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0031] The housing module and computed tomography scanning device claimed in this application utilize the gap between the housing fixing part and the housing tilting part as a channel for controlling the unlocking control between the housing fixing part and the fixed mounting part on the frame. This allows the connecting mechanism used to connect the housing fixing part and the fixed mounting part to be housed entirely inside the housing module. Thus, not only does the setting of the connecting mechanism not affect the appearance of the housing module, ensuring a neat and beautiful appearance, but it also facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the housing fixing part.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "located on" another component, it can be directly located on the other component or may have an intervening component. When a component is considered to be "located on" another component, it can be directly located on the other component or may have an intervening component.

[0042] 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. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0043] The housing module 100 claimed in this application specifically refers to a housing used in a computed tomography (CT) scanner. Here, the CT scanner specifically refers to a CT scanner with a mechanical tilting function.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a housing module 100, including a housing fixing part 10, a housing tilting part 20, a frame 30, and a connecting mechanism 40. The housing tilting part 20 is independently disposed relative to the housing fixing part 10, and a gap 101 is formed between the housing tilting part 20 and the housing fixing part 10. The frame 30 has a fixing mounting part 31, which is disposed inside the housing fixing part 10 and is detachably connected to the housing fixing part 10 via the connecting mechanism 40. The connecting mechanism 40 includes an unlocking member 41, which is at least partially disposed in the area where the gap 101 is located. When the unlocking member 41 is subjected to force, it can release the lock between the housing fixing part 10 and the fixing mounting part 31.

[0045] As can be seen from the above, the outer shell module 100 can utilize the gap 101 between the outer shell fixing part 10 and the outer shell inclined part 20 to allow the operator to use an external tool to pass through the gap 101 and push the unlocking member 41, thereby unlocking the outer shell fixing part 10 and the fixed mounting part 31. This allows the connecting mechanism 40 connecting the outer shell fixing part 10 and the fixed mounting part 31 to be housed entirely inside the outer shell module 100. In this way, not only does the setting of the connecting mechanism 40 not affect the appearance of the outer shell module 100, ensuring a neat and beautiful appearance, but it also facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the outer shell fixing part 10.

[0046] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the frame 30 also has an inclined mounting portion (not shown in the figure), which is disposed inside the inclined portion 20 of the outer shell and connected to the inclined portion 20 of the outer shell, thereby realizing the assembly connection of the frame 30 on the inclined portion 20 of the outer shell.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of housing fixing parts 10 is configured as two. The two housing fixing parts 10 are disposed on both sides of the inclined housing part 20 in the width direction, and each housing fixing part 10 can be detachably connected to the fixed mounting part 31 of the frame 30 using a connecting mechanism 40. Here, the housing module 100 also includes a housing bottom 50, which is disposed below the inclined housing part 20 and screwed to the two housing fixing parts 10 respectively. Specifically, bolts can be used to achieve the screwing connection between the housing bottom 50 and the two housing fixing parts 10. It should be noted that a gap is also formed between the housing bottom 50 and the inclined housing part 20 to meet the requirement that the inclined housing part 20 can rotate relative to the two housing fixing parts 10.

[0048] In some embodiments, the number of connecting mechanisms 40 between the two housing fixing parts 10 and the housing inclined part 20 is configured to be multiple, with at least two of the multiple connecting mechanisms 40 arranged on opposite sides of the housing inclined part 20. This ensures the stability of the two housing fixing parts 10 when installed on the housing inclined part 20. Here, each housing fixing part 10 is detachably connected to the housing inclined part 20 by two connecting mechanisms 40 arranged on both sides of the length direction of the housing inclined part 20. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of connecting mechanisms 40 between each housing fixing part 10 and the housing inclined part 20 may be one, three, four, or even more, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the unlocking member 41 has a pushing surface 411. The unlocking member 41 can be released from the lock between the housing fixing part 10 and the fixed mounting part 31 by applying force through the pushing surface 411. This allows the housing module 100 to be unlocked during production or service by workers using an external tool (not shown) to push the pushing surface 411 of the unlocking member 41 through an oblique insertion into the gap 101. This facilitates the operation of the unlocking member 41 and makes it easy for workers to manipulate it. It should be noted that the aforementioned external tool specifically refers to common tools such as an Allen wrench or screwdriver that can be obliquely inserted into the gap 101.

[0050] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 40 further includes a hanging shaft 401 and a latch assembly 402. The latch assembly 402 includes a locking plate 42, which is connected to the hanging shaft 401 in a snap-fit ​​manner and is also drively connected to the unlocking member 41. That is, the connecting mechanism 40 can control the locking / unlocking between the housing fixing part 10 and the fixed mounting part 31 by locking / unlocking the locking plate 42 snapped onto the hanging shaft 401. Here, the hanging shaft 401 is threaded onto the fixed mounting part 31 of the frame 30, and the latch assembly 402 is also threaded onto the housing fixing part 10. The threaded connection facilitates the assembly and application of the connecting mechanism 40 between the housing fixing part 10 and the fixed mounting part 31. It is understood that in other embodiments, the hanging shaft 401 can also be installed on the housing fixing part 10, and the latch assembly 402 can be installed on the fixed mounting part 31; this will not be elaborated upon here.

[0051] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking plate 42 has a latching portion 421 that can engage with the hanging shaft 401, specifically engaging with an annular groove 4011 on the hanging shaft 401. The latch assembly 402 also includes a fixing seat 43 with a notch 431. The locking plate 42 is rotatably mounted within the fixing seat 43, and the latching portion 421 is at least partially located within the area of ​​the notch 431 and communicates with it. In other words, when the latching portion 421 on the locking plate 42 drives the hanging shaft 401 into the notch 431 of the fixing seat 43, the locking plate 42, together with the fixing seat 43, can lock and limit the hanging shaft 401, thus locking the latch assembly 402 and the hanging shaft 401.

[0052] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing base 43 is provided with two connecting sleeves 432. Two external bolts can pass through the connecting sleeves 432 and be screwed to the outer casing fixing part 10 to fix the fixing base 43 to the outer casing fixing part 10. One of the connecting sleeves 432 passes through the locking plate 42 and is rotatably connected to the locking plate 42 to realize the rotatable connection between the locking plate 42 and the fixing base 43. The other connecting sleeve 432 is provided on the rotation path of the locking plate 42, and the rotation of the locking plate 42 on the fixing base 43 is limited by the abutment between the connecting sleeve 432 and the locking plate 42.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the latch assembly 402 further includes an elastic element 44, which is installed inside the fixing base 43 and abuts against the locking plate 42 and the fixing base 43 respectively; and the elastic element 44 can provide an elastic force to the locking plate 42 when it is reset. That is, the latch assembly 402 can use the elastic element 44 to elastically push the locking plate 42, so that the locking plate 42 can automatically lock the hanging shaft 401. In this way, the operator only needs to push the outer shell fixing part 10 into the fixing mounting part 31 to realize the assembly of the outer shell fixing part 10 on the fixing mounting part 31, which facilitates the assembly of the outer shell fixing part 10. Here, the elastic element 44 is configured as a torsion spring, and the number of torsion springs is configured to be two, and the two torsion springs can be respectively fitted onto the two connecting sleeves 432. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the above-mentioned elastic element 44 can also be a coil spring or other highly elastic component that can provide rotational force.

[0054] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the latch assembly 402 further includes a transmission plate 45, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed base 43 and is connected to the locking plate 42 in a transmission manner; wherein, the unlocking member 41 is mounted on the transmission plate 45. When the unlocking member 41 is subjected to force, it can drive the transmission plate 45 to swing on the fixed base 43. Utilizing the transmission connection between the transmission plate 45 and the locking plate 42, the locking plate 42 can be driven to rotate on the fixed base 43, causing the latching portion 421 on the locking plate 42 to disengage the hanging shaft 401 from the notch 431 on the fixed base 43, and releasing the latch assembly 402 from the hanging shaft 401. Using action and reaction forces, the outer casing fixing portion 10 can automatically detach from the frame 30 fixing mounting portion 31. During this process, the unlocking element 41 uses the transmission plate 45 to drive the locking plate 42 to rotate within the fixed base 43. This ensures that the unlocking element 41 can be driven by an external tool passing through the gap, thereby facilitating the assembly of the latch assembly 402 on the housing fixing part 10 or the fixed mounting part 31. Here, the unlocking element 41 is configured as a bent plate structure, and specifically, the unlocking element 41 can be fixed to the transmission plate 45 with screws, bolts, nuts, etc.

[0055] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, an extension protrusion 451 is formed on the transmission plate 45, and a slot 422 matching the extension protrusion 451 is provided on the locking plate 42. The extension protrusion 451 can be inserted and engaged with the slot 422, thereby realizing the transmission connection between the transmission plate 45 and the locking plate 42. Under the drive of the unlocking member 41, the transmission plate 45 can push the locking plate 42 to rotate in the fixed seat 43 through the extension protrusion 451, so as to release the lock between the locking plate 42 and the hanging shaft 401.

[0056] In addition, this application also provides an electronic computed tomography (CT) scanning device, including the aforementioned housing module 100.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
