[0047] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0048] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0049] The intelligent placement system 100 of the first aspect of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the intelligent placement system 100, such as Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent positioning system 100 includes: a frame 1, a leveling mechanism 2, and a functional component 3. The leveling mechanism 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and the functional component 3 is mounted on the leveling mechanism 2. The leveling mechanism 2 is used to adjust the swing angle of the functional component 3. The leveling mechanism 2 is connected to the frame 1 via a mounting assembly 4, which is configured to: allow the leveling mechanism 2 to be rotatably adjusted relative to the frame 1; and / or allow the leveling mechanism 2 to be translatably adjusted relative to the frame 1. It should be noted that the swing angle can be an angle relative to a set plane S; rotatable adjustment can be rotatably adjusted about an axis L perpendicular to the set plane S; and translatable adjustment can be translatably adjusted along a direction parallel to the set plane S. The set plane S can be the surface to be inspected of the functional component 3, such as the surface of an equipment or a scanning bed, or it can be a reference plane, such as a horizontal plane; no specific limitation is made here.

[0051] The intelligent positioning system 100 is used in medical imaging technology to precisely control the patient's positioning, reduce the auxiliary time required for patient positioning, simplify the examination process, and thus improve the overall efficiency of the operation.

[0052] The frame 1 is the mounting component of the intelligent positioning system 100. The adjustment mechanism is connected to the frame 1 via the mounting assembly 4, and the functional component 3 is then mounted on the leveling mechanism 2. The mounting assembly 4 not only has the function of installation and fixation, but also has the function of adjustment, which can adjust the positional relationship between the functional component 3 and the fixed frame 1.

[0053] Taking the set plane S as a reference, the leveling mechanism 2 adjusts the angle between the functional component 3 and the set plane S. The mounting assembly 4 is configured to allow the leveling mechanism 2 to be rotatably adjusted relative to the frame 1 about an axis L perpendicular to the set plane S, and / or to allow the leveling mechanism 2 to be translatably adjusted relative to the frame 1 in a direction parallel to the set plane S. The mounting assembly 4 does not affect the adjustment of the functional component 3 relative to the set plane S. After the mounting assembly 4 is adjusted, there is no need to perform secondary adjustments on the adjusted leveling mechanism 2, thus simplifying the operation.

[0054] Mounting component 4 enables the leveling mechanism 2 to rotate and / or move relative to the frame 1, thereby adjusting the working position of the functional component 3, thereby adjusting the detection range of the functional component 3, etc., to improve the working reliability of the functional component 3.

[0055] According to the intelligent placement system 100 of this utility model embodiment, during the installation process, the position adjustment of the functional component 3 is achieved by adjusting some dimensions using the leveling mechanism 2, and adjusting other dimensions using the installation component 4. This allows the adjustment to be distributed rather than concentrated in a complex adjustment mechanism, thus eliminating the need for a complex adjustment mechanism, simplifying the intelligent placement system 100. Moreover, because the adjustment is distributed, the adjustments of each dimension are less likely to affect each other, making the adjustment operation easier and more likely to achieve satisfactory adjustment results.

[0056] For example, without affecting the operation of the leveling mechanism 2 or the swing angle of the functional component 3, the mounting component 4 causes the leveling mechanism 2 to rotate and / or move relative to the frame 1, thereby adjusting the working position of the functional component 3. The adjustment of the swing angle of the functional component 3 is independent of the adjustment of the working position of the functional component 3, so there is no need to perform secondary adjustment on the already adjusted leveling mechanism 2, which simplifies the operation process and makes the adjustment of the intelligent positioning system 100 more convenient.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting assembly 4 includes an adapter 41 and a pivot 42. The adapter 41 is connected to the frame 1, and the pivot 42 is connected between the adapter 41 and the leveling mechanism 2. The connection between the adapter 41 and the frame 1 is configured to allow the adapter 41 to be translatably adjusted relative to the frame 1. The pivot 42 is configured to allow the leveling mechanism 2 to be rotatably adjusted relative to the frame 1.

[0058] Taking the set plane S as a reference, the mounting component 4 is connected between the leveling mechanism 2 and the frame 1. The adapter 41 is connected to the frame 1, and the rotating shaft 42 is connected to the leveling mechanism 2, and the rotating shaft 42 is connected to the adapter 41. The adapter 41 allows the rotating shaft 42 and the leveling mechanism 2 to move together relative to the frame 1 in a direction parallel to the set plane S, thereby driving the functional component 3 to move. The rotating shaft 42 allows the leveling mechanism 2 to rotate relative to the frame 1 around an axis L perpendicular to the set plane S, thereby driving the functional component 3 to rotate.

[0059] The mounting component 4 includes an interconnected adapter 41 and a rotating shaft 42, which minimizes interference between the translational and rotational adjustments of the leveling mechanism 2, further simplifying the operation process and making the adjustment of the intelligent positioning system 100 more convenient.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating shaft 42 is a disc damping rotating shaft 421, and the disc 4211 of the disc damping rotating shaft 421 is connected to the leveling mechanism 2; and / or, as shown Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the leveling mechanism 2 is a leveling instrument 21 and has a level ruler.

[0061] The disc damping shaft 421 can generate damping force to control the rotation speed and position of the shaft portion 4212 of the disc damping shaft 421, so that it can stop smoothly and accurately at the required angle, improve the problem of excessive rotation or rotation, and avoid position errors caused by springback after rotation, thereby achieving precise control of rotational motion.

[0062] Taking the set plane S as a reference, the leveling mechanism 2 is connected to the set disc damping shaft 421. The set disc damping shaft 421 drives the leveling mechanism 2 to rotate relative to the frame 1 around the axis L perpendicular to the set plane S. This can drive the leveling mechanism 2 to adjust to any angle and stabilize the leveling mechanism 2 in the required position. It can also effectively prevent the leveling mechanism 2 from shaking or rotating due to external interference during use, thereby improving the accuracy of the rotation control of the leveling mechanism 2 and the working stability of the leveling mechanism 2.

[0063] The leveling mechanism 2 is a leveling device 21, which is used to adjust the angle between the functional component 3 and the horizontal plane, that is, to adjust the levelness of the functional component 3. By using the leveling device 21 as the leveling mechanism 2, the positioning and detection of the intelligent positioning system 100 are based on the horizontal plane, which is convenient for adjustment and operation.

[0064] The leveling instrument 21 has a level ruler, which can be adjusted manually, reducing the difficulty of adjustment and making it highly maintainable; it can also be initially adjusted manually according to the level ruler, and then fine-tuned according to the measurement results of the detector to improve the adjustment accuracy.

[0065] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the disc damping shaft 421 includes a disc 4211 and a shaft portion 4212, which are rotatable relative to each other. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the disc 4211 of the disc damping shaft 421 is fixedly connected to the leveling mechanism 2 by the first fastener 73, and the shaft 4212 of the disc damping shaft 421 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 71 by the second fastener 74.

[0066] The shaft portion 4212 includes a rotating shaft 42121 and a cross member 42122. The fixing block 71 is connected to the cross member 42122, so that the second fastener 74 can fix the fixing block 71 to the shaft portion 4212 along the axial direction of the disc damping rotating shaft 421, reducing the difficulty of connection operation and saving circumferential and radial space of the disc damping rotating shaft 421.

[0067] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting piece between the fixed block 71, the rotating shaft 42, and the adapter 41 is fixedly connected by a third fastener 75. Thus, the adapter 41 allows the rotating shaft 42 and the leveling mechanism 2 to move together relative to the frame 1 in a direction parallel to the set plane S, thereby driving the functional component 3 to move; the disc and shaft portion 4212 of the rotating shaft 42 can rotate relative to each other, allowing the adapter 41 to allow the rotating shaft 42 and the leveling mechanism 2 to move together relative to the frame 1 in a direction parallel to the set plane S, thereby driving the functional component 3 to move.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the leveling device 21 includes a first platform 212 and a second platform 213 spaced apart in the vertical direction, and three adjustment parts 211 are connected between the first platform 212 and the second platform 213.

[0069] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the first platform 212 is fixedly connected to the disk 4211 of the disk damping shaft 421 by a first fastener 73, and the second platform 213 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 72. The fixing plate 72 is fixedly connected to the functional component 3 by a fourth fastener 76. By adjusting the height of the adjusting part 211 between the first platform 212 and the second platform 213, the angle between the second platform 213 and the horizontal plane can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the levelness of the functional component 3 connected to the second platform 213.

[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the leveling device 21 is constructed as a fine-tuning level seat, and the leveling device 21 can be adjusted within a range of ±5°.

[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the adapter 41 is connected to the frame 1 via a threaded connection assembly 5. The threaded connection assembly 5 includes a bolt 51, a hand-tightening nut 52, and a washer 53. One of the adapter 41 and the frame 1 is a first lap joint 5a, and the other is a second lap joint 5b. The first lap joint 5a and the second lap joint 5b are lapped together. The head of the bolt 51 is fixed to or abuts against the first lap joint 5a, and the shank passes through the second lap joint 5b, the washer 53, and the hand-tightening nut 52 in sequence along a direction away from the first lap joint 5a. A through hole 1a is formed on the second lap joint 5b for passing the bolt 51. The cross-section of the through hole 1a is larger than the cross-section of the bolt 51, so that the adapter 41 can be adjusted relative to the frame 1 in a translational manner.

[0072] The adapter 41 is fastened to the frame 1 by the cooperation of bolt 51 and hand-tightening nut 52. Bolt 51 passes through the adapter 41 and the frame 1, and hand-tightening nut 52 is threaded with bolt 51. After the hand-tightening nut 52 is tightened, it and the head of bolt 51 together press the adapter 41 and the frame 1, thereby fixing the frame 1 and the adapter 41 together.

[0073] The threaded connection assembly 5 also includes a washer 53. When the through hole 1a on the adapter 41 or the frame 1 is too large, the end of the hand-tightening nut 52 cannot stably press the adapter 41 or the frame 1. In this case, a washer 53 can be set on the hand-tightening nut 52 to facilitate fixing the adapter 41 and the frame 1 together.

[0074] One of the components of the adapter 41 and the frame 1 is a second overlapping component 5b. The second overlapping component 5b forms a through hole 1a with a hole cross-section larger than the rod cross-section of the bolt 51. One of the components of the adapter 41 and the frame 1 is a first adapter 5a. The bolt 51 can drive the first adapter 5a to move relative to the through hole 1a, thereby causing the adapter 41 to move relative to the frame 1. When it moves to the required position, the hand-tightening nut 52 is tightened, thereby fixing the adapter 41 in the required position.

[0075] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, adapter 41 is the first connecting member 5a, and frame 1 is the second adapter 5b. A through hole 1a is provided on frame 1. The head of bolt 51 is fixed relative to adapter 41, and the shank of bolt 51 extends from adapter 41 towards frame 1, and the shank is movable within through hole 1a. Hand-tightening nut 52 is threadedly engaged with the shank of bolt 51. Hand-tightening nut 52 is located on the side of frame 1 away from adapter 41. The cross-sectional area of ​​hand-tightening nut 52 is significantly smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​through hole 1a. Therefore, a washer 53 is provided between hand-tightening nut 52 and frame 1. The cross-sectional area of ​​washer 53 is much larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​through hole 1a. When the position of the adapter 41 needs to be adjusted, the hand nut 52 is loosened, and the adapter 41 can move relative to the frame 1 within the range of the through hole 1a; when the adapter 41 needs to be fixed, the hand nut 52 is tightened, and the head of the hand nut 52 and the bolt 51 clamp the rotating washer 53, the adapter and the frame 1 together, thereby fixing the frame 1 and the adapter 41 together.

[0076] The above structure allows the adapter 41 to be adjusted relative to the frame 1 in a horizontal manner. Only a through hole 1a needs to be made in the adapter 41 or the frame 1. No additional limiting components are required. The structure is simple and helps to reduce the size of the intelligent positioning system 100 and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0077] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9As shown, there are multiple threaded connection components 5 arranged in an array, which can improve the connection stability between the adapter 41 and the frame 1, and also improve the stability of the translation of the adapter 41 relative to the frame 1.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the frame 1 includes a top plate 1b with an opening area 1b1. The adapter 41 is plate-shaped and overlaps the top plate 1b. The adapter 41 includes a covering part 411 that covers the opening area 1b1 and a mounting part 412 that extends beyond the opening area 1b1 and is supported above the top plate 1b. The mounting part 412 is connected to the top plate 1b by a threaded connection assembly 5. The covering part 411 has at least one wire hole 4111. The wire hole 4111 is an oblong hole and the edge of the wire hole 4111 is provided with a protective sleeve 413. The leveling mechanism 2 is located directly below the opening area 1b1 and within the outline of the opening area 1b1.

[0079] The adapter 41 is positioned above the frame 1. The cross-sectional area of ​​the adapter 41 is larger than the opening area 1b1 on the top plate 1b, so the adapter 41 will not fall out of the opening area 1b1. The pivot 42 passes through the opening area 1b1 to connect with the adapter positioned on the outside of the frame 1.

[0080] The adapter 41 includes a cover 411 that covers the opening area 1b1 and a mounting part 412 that extends beyond the opening area 1b1 and is supported above the top plate 1b. The mounting part 412 is connected to the top plate 1b via a threaded connection assembly 5. The leveling mechanism 2 is located directly below the opening area 1b1 and within the outline of the opening area 1b1. The pivot 42 passes through the opening area 1b1 and is fixedly connected to the cover 411.

[0081] The cover 411 is also provided with a wire passage hole 4111, through which the wire harness connected to the functional component 3 and / or the leveling mechanism 2 can extend, improving the neatness of the wiring. The wire passage hole 4111 is an oblong hole and the edge of the wire passage hole 4111 is provided with a protective sleeve 413 to protect the wire harness from being cut and improve the working stability of the wire harness.

[0082] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 As shown, the adapter 41 is a rectangular plate, and there are four threaded connection components 5, which are respectively located at the four corners of the adapter 41.

[0083] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the frame 1 includes a frame body 11 and a lifting lug 12. The lifting lug 12 is suspended from the ceiling by a suspension rod 6. The suspension rod 6 passes through the lifting lug 12 and is vertically adjustable and fixed to the lifting lug 12. It should be noted that the suspension rod 6 can be suspended from the ceiling directly or indirectly (e.g., through a beam fixed to the ceiling).

[0084] The frame body 11 is externally equipped with lifting lugs 12, which can be fixed by a suspension rod 6. The suspension rod 6 and the lifting lugs 12 are adjustable in height, fixing the entire intelligent positioning system 100 to the ceiling, thereby suspending the entire intelligent positioning system 100 for precise positioning of the area to be scanned below. For example, the intelligent positioning system 100 is suspended in the ceiling, set above the scanning bed. The suspension rod 6 passes through the lifting lugs 12 and is fixed to the lifting lugs 12 by nuts 122. The functional component 3 identifies the area to be scanned on the patient on the scanning bed, transmits the image to the operation display, selects the area to be scanned on the operation display, and then operates the scanning bed to send the area to be scanned into the imaging equipment for scanning.

[0085] Furthermore, the lifting rod 6 can adjust the vertical height of the frame body 11 by adjusting the connection position between the lifting lug 12 and the lifting rod 6, thereby adjusting the coverage range of the functional component 3.

[0086] In some embodiments of this utility model, there is one lifting rod 6, which is connected to the lifting lug 12 located at the center of the frame body 11. The lifting rod 6 can adjust the vertical height of the frame body 11.

[0087] In other embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, there are multiple hangers 6, each corresponding to a different hanger lug 12. By using multiple hangers 6, the connection stability of the frame body 11 can be improved. Furthermore, by adjusting the connection position of one or more hangers 6 with the hanger lug 12, the angle between the frame body 11 and the horizontal plane can be adjusted, thereby eliminating the influence of uneven ceiling and reducing the impact on the leveling mechanism 2.

[0088] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 As shown, the lug 12 has an adjustment hole 121 for passing through the rod 6. The cross-section of the adjustment hole 121 is larger than the cross-section of the rod 6, so that the position of the rod 6 relative to the lug 12 can be adjusted in the direction intersecting the axis of the rod 6.

[0089] The boom 6 can move within the adjustment hole 121, thereby moving the boom 6 relative to the lug 12, and then adjusting the position of the frame body 11 relative to the ceiling. When it is moved to the required position, the nut 122 is tightened to fix the boom 6 and the lug 12, and fix the frame body 11 relative to the ceiling. The position of the frame body 11 can be adjusted through the above structure.

[0090] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the frame body 11 is a cover 111, with the bottom of the cover 111 open, and the functional components 3 and the leveling mechanism 2 are both housed inside the cover 111; or, as Figure 1 As shown, the frame body 11 includes a cover 111 and a decorative panel 112. The bottom of the cover 111 is open, and the decorative panel 112 covers the bottom of the cover 111. The functional components 3 and the leveling mechanism 2 are both housed inside the cover 111 and located above the decorative panel 112. Figure 14 As shown, the decorative panel 112 has a clearance area 1121 that is disposed opposite to the functional component 3.

[0091] The frame body 11 is a cover 111 with an open bottom. The functional components 3 and the leveling mechanism 2 are both housed inside the cover 111. Compared to placing the functional components and the leveling mechanism in a closed space, it is easier to adjust the functional components 3 and the leveling mechanism 2.

[0092] like Figure 15 As shown, a ceiling 200 is installed below the ceiling. The intelligent positioning system 100 is suspended from the ceiling and embedded in the ceiling 200. A through hole is provided in the ceiling 200, and the bottom of the cover 111 is open to accurately position the area to be scanned below. By suspending the intelligent positioning system 100 from the ceiling and opening it through the ceiling 200, it does not occupy external space and can save installation space.

[0093] The frame body 11 includes a cover 111 and a decorative panel 112. The decorative panel 112 covers the bottom of the cover 111. The decorative panel 112 and the cover 111 together protect the internal functional components 3 and the leveling mechanism 2 from dust. The decorative panel 112 has a clearance area 1121 that is opposite to the functional components 3 to facilitate accurate positioning of the area to be scanned below. Depending on the acquisition requirements of the functional components 3, the clearance area 1121 can be perforated or transparent, etc.

[0094] like Figure 16 As shown, a ceiling 200 is installed below the ceiling. The intelligent placement system 100 is suspended on the ceiling and embedded in the ceiling 200. A through hole is opened in the ceiling 200 so that the decorative panel 112 can be flush with the ceiling 200 without occupying external space. After the decorative panel 112 is installed, it can be compatible with the decoration style and is beautiful and elegant.

[0095] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the frame body 11 is a cover 111, the top structure of the cover 111 is a top plate 1b, the top plate 1b has an opening area 1b1, and the adapter 41 is plate-shaped and overlaps the top plate 1b.

[0096] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 14 As shown, a pressure frame 113 is provided at the bottom of the frame body 11, the bottom of the cover 111 is open, the functional component 3 and the leveling mechanism 2 are both housed in the cover 111, the lower end of the cover 111 has a flange extending outward from the cover 111, the pressure frame 113 is arranged opposite to and connected to the flange, and the decorative plate 112 is covered at the lower end of the cover 111, and the edge of the decorative plate 112 is sandwiched between the flange and the pressure frame 113.

[0097] The decorative panel 112 is easy to disassemble and assemble, which makes it easy to adjust the functional component 3 and the leveling mechanism 2 after the decorative panel 112 is disassembled, thus reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0098] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 17 As shown, the functional component 3 includes a housing 31 and a component core 32. The housing 31 is a shielding material component. The component core 32 includes at least one of a position detection component 321 and an extended functional component. The position detection component 321 includes at least one of an image acquisition device and a sensor. The sensor includes at least one of a 3D sensor, a lidar, and an ultrasonic radar. The functional component 3 has a data cable connection port.

[0099] The position detection unit 321 is used to detect position. For example, the position detection unit 321 identifies the part of the patient to be scanned on the scanning bed, transmits the image to the operation display, and the part to be scanned can be selected on the operation display to perform positioning.

[0100] The internal space of the box 31 is relatively large, so expansion functional components can be installed inside the box 31. Different functional modules can be replaced to achieve more functions, resulting in strong expandability. For example, a monitoring camera can be added to detect the indoor situation.

[0101] In some embodiments of this utility model, the box 31 is an aluminum box, which has a good shielding effect.

[0102] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 17 As shown, the box 31 includes an upper box 311 and a lower box 312. An opening 3121 is provided at the bottom of the lower box 312. A clearance area 1121 is opposite to the opening 3121, which allows the core component 32 inside the box 31 to work and to perform external inspections of the box 31.

[0103] A medical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a medical imaging device and an intelligent positioning system 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention.

[0104] The medical imaging system according to the embodiments of the present invention, by setting the intelligent positioning system 100 of the first aspect of the present invention, can simplify the operation and make it easier to use.

[0105] It is worth noting that the adjustment of the leveling mechanism 2 and the installation component 4 of the intelligent positioning system 100 can be automatic or manual. When using automatic adjustment, the accuracy is higher and it is more convenient to use. For example, the position can be adjusted by comparing the positioning points with the bed board using a visual camera and adjusting the three-directional controlled stepper motors within the module through an algorithm. However, shielding is required in an NMR environment. When using manual adjustment, no special shielding is needed, resulting in a simpler structure, lower cost, and better compatibility.

[0106] In some embodiments of this utility model, the medical imaging system is constructed as a magnetic resonance imaging system. The intelligent positioning system 100 first positions the part of the patient to be scanned on the scanning bed, and then moves the patient's part to be scanned into the center of the FOV (field of view) by moving the scanning bed to perform scanning imaging of the part to be scanned.

[0107] The intelligent positioning system 100 of the first aspect of this utility model can be manually adjusted, thus eliminating the need for special shielding. It has a simple structure, low cost, and good compatibility. Furthermore, the housing 31 of the functional component 3 is made of shielding material, making it applicable to magnetic resonance imaging systems.

[0108] With advancements in medical imaging technology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment is transitioning from traditional positioning laser lamp configurations to integrated intelligent positioning systems. This integration significantly reduces the auxiliary time required for patient positioning and optimizes the examination process, thereby improving overall operational efficiency. More importantly, by automating and precisely controlling patient positioning, the safety and reproducibility of the examination are enhanced, ultimately improving diagnostic accuracy and reliability.

[0109] Intelligent positioning systems have become a key component for improving the efficiency and accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. These systems are typically installed in designated locations on the scanner's roof or ceiling. However, most commercially available intelligent positioning systems present a series of challenges in practical applications due to their bulky size and obtrusive design.

[0110] The primary problem is that existing camera systems, due to their size and design characteristics, often face incompatibility issues with the roof structure during installation, or their installation may disrupt the original ceiling decoration style. This usually requires a compromise between choosing system performance or maintaining the interior aesthetics.

[0111] Furthermore, the system's spatial structure is typically small, and the adjustment mechanisms are relatively enclosed. This not only complicates the installation and commissioning process but also requires technicians to use numerous tools. Due to the limited adjustable range and inconvenient operation, the commissioning phase is usually time-consuming, thus affecting the overall efficiency of installation and setup.

[0112] In some embodiments of this application, functional component 3 includes a positioning camera assembly. This assembly is installed in a position and level adjustment system using an embedded module. It can be directly installed into a pre-drilled ceiling panel and connected to a ceiling hanger 6, secured with a locking nut. This allows for height adjustment. During the installation and commissioning of the MRI system, horizontal adjustment is convenient and fine-tuning is possible, enabling rapid installation and commissioning. Alternatively, the positioning camera assembly can be installed separately on the hanger and directly fixed to the ceiling, achieving a minimal installation. This solution maximizes space saving, facilitates camera position adjustment, and, with the addition of a decorative panel, can be compatible with various interior design styles, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0113] In the entire intelligent positioning system 100, the adapter 41 is connected to the disc damping shaft 421 and fixed on the halfway point 1b of the frame 1 to achieve overall rotation of the positioning camera assembly. The frame 1 is equipped with lifting lugs 12, which can be connected to the hanging rod 6 for suspension and coarse adjustment of the vertical height. The disc damping shaft 421 is fixed to the leveling device 21 via a fixing plate 72. Finally, the positioning camera assembly is installed on the other side of the leveling device 21. By adjusting the three adjustment parts 211 of the leveling device 21, the horizontal orientation of the camera can be adjusted, achieving horizontal leveling of the camera. A decorative panel 112 can be installed on the outside of the frame 1 to achieve a style that blends with the rest of the ceiling.
