Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device testing technology, and in particular relates to a tooling for testing the precision of lead screws in CBCT equipment. Background Technology
[0002] CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) equipment is a cone beam computed tomography imaging system. Its principle is that the X-ray generator performs ring-shaped DR (radiometry) around the object being imaged with a low dose of radiation. In the use of CBCT equipment, a lead screw is required for precise transmission. Insufficient lead screw precision in CBCT equipment can lead to imaging quality defects, as well as problems such as low efficiency, poor adaptability, and insufficient data reliability of traditional detection methods. Therefore, the precision of the lead screw is particularly important. Thus, the precision of the lead screw needs to be inspected using inspection fixtures before use.
[0003] Traditional testing methods rely on manual measurement using tools such as dial indicators and calipers, which is inefficient and difficult to guarantee consistency. Existing tooling has poor versatility and cannot be adapted to lead screws of different diameters and pitches, resulting in high testing costs. To address this, a tooling for inspecting lead screw accuracy in CBCT equipment is provided. Utility Model Content

The lead screw mounting base is then moved to the appropriate position by the second quick-release buckle. The structure is simple and can realize quick fixing and switching of the lead screw, improving the efficiency of the inspection tooling. At the same time, the inspection tooling has strong adaptability, covering the commonly used lead screw specifications of CBCT equipment, reducing the procurement cost of enterprises.

[0033] The specific implementation method is as follows: First, insert one end of the lead screw 36 into the connection end of the torque sensor 37, and then place the lead screw 36 into the arc-shaped groove of the support block 310. Then, fix one end of the lead screw in the arc-shaped groove through the first quick-release buckle 35. According to the length of the lead screw 36, move the second slider 51 on the guide rail 32, thereby driving the lead screw mounting base 53 to move synchronously, so that the lead screw mounting base 53 moves to the appropriate position. Then, fix the lead screw 36 to the lead screw mounting base 53 through the second quick-release buckle 54.

Based on the length of the lead screw 36, move the second slider 51 on the guide rail 32, thereby driving the lead screw mounting base 53 to move synchronously to the appropriate position. Then, fix the lead screw 36 to the lead screw mounting base 53 using the second quick-release buckle 54. The first slider 41 drives the motor mounting base 42 to move on the guide rail 32 towards the other end of the lead screw 36, thereby driving the stepper motor... The machine 44 moves synchronously, and then the connecting end of the coupling 43 is fixedly connected to the other end of the lead screw 36.
