Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning bracket technology, and in particular to a positioning bracket for a pen-shaped ionization chamber probe. Background Technology

[0002] Breast CBCT is a medical imaging technology used for breast cancer screening. It uses low-dose X-rays to scan the breast. In dose detection in breast CBCT, the ionization chamber is a commonly used dose measurement instrument.

[0003] The average dose of breast tissue requires placing the pen-shaped ionization chamber probe at the center of rotation of the exposure frame. The probe position is adjusted by positioning the image so that the effective detection area of ​​the probe is exactly within the X-ray range.

[0004] To place the pencil-shaped ionization chamber probe within the circular opening of the examination bed, between the X-ray tube and the image receiver, no other items besides the dosimeter probe and safety cover can be placed. Therefore, it is difficult to fix the probe in place, and there is a risk of it falling. Furthermore, adjusting the probe position by scanning positioning images multiple times to ensure that it is placed in the center of the circular opening on the examination bed consumes monitoring time and increases unnecessary exposure of the equipment. Therefore, this application proposes a positioning bracket for the pencil-shaped ionization chamber probe. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a pen-shaped ionization chamber probe positioning bracket to address the aforementioned technical problems. By unfolding the two support legs, it is convenient to support the positioning hollow ring, the first measuring scale, and the second measuring scale to be placed on the circular opening of the examination bed. The second measuring scale is rotated and unfolded so that the first and second measuring scales are perpendicular to each other. The scale lines on the first and second measuring scales can be used to ensure that the positioning hollow ring is placed in the center of the circular opening. After the pen-shaped ionization chamber probe is inserted through the positioning hollow ring and into the circular opening, the probe can be clamped by rotating the two hand-tightening screws and fastening heads to reduce the risk of falling.

[0024] As described in the background art, the pen-shaped ionization chamber probe must be placed inside the circular opening on the examination table, between the X-ray tube and the image receiver. No other items can be placed except for the dosimeter probe and the safety cover. Therefore, it is difficult to fix the probe in place, and there is a risk of it falling. Furthermore, adjusting the probe position by scanning positioning images multiple times to ensure that it is placed in the center of the circular opening on the examination table will consume monitoring time and increase unnecessary exposure of the equipment.

[0025] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a pencil-shaped ionization chamber probe positioning bracket, which is used for positioning and placing a pencil-shaped ionization chamber probe.

[0026] The device includes a positioning hollow ring 1, a first measuring ruler 2 fixed to the outside of the positioning hollow ring 1, a second measuring ruler 3 rotatably connected to the outside of the positioning hollow ring 1 and above the first measuring ruler 2, a hand-tightening screw 4 symmetrically threaded to the inside of the positioning hollow ring 1 and above the second measuring ruler 3, a fastening head 5 fixed to one end of each hand-tightening screw 4 and inside the positioning hollow ring 1, a support cylinder 6 fixed to the other end of each hand-tightening screw 4 and outside the positioning hollow ring 1, a positioning post 7 symmetrically fixed to the outside of the positioning hollow ring 1 and above the second measuring ruler 3, guide grooves 8 symmetrically opened inside the second measuring ruler 3 and outside the positioning hollow ring 1, and a limit slide seat 10 slidably connected to the inside of each of the two guide grooves 8, with the support cylinder 6 and the positioning post 7 slidably connected to the limit slide seat 10.

[0027] The pen-shaped ionization chamber probe positioning bracket provided by this utility model places the positioning hollow ring 1, the first measuring ruler 2, and the second measuring ruler 3 on the circular opening of the examination bed. The second measuring ruler 3 is rotated and unfolded so that the first measuring ruler 2 and the second measuring ruler 3 are perpendicular to each other. The scale lines on the first measuring ruler 2 and the second measuring ruler 3 make it easy to ensure that the positioning hollow ring 1 is placed in the center of the circular opening. After the pen-shaped ionization chamber probe passes through the positioning hollow ring 1 and extends into the circular opening, the two hand-tightening screws 4 and the fastening head 5 are rotated to easily clamp the pen-shaped ionization chamber probe and reduce the risk of falling.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0029] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-5 A positioning bracket for a pen-shaped ionization chamber probe includes a positioning hollow ring 1. A first measuring scale 2 is fixed to the outer side of the positioning hollow ring 1. A second measuring scale 3 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the positioning hollow ring 1 and located above the first measuring scale 2. When the pen-shaped ionization chamber probe passes through the positioning hollow ring 1, in order to facilitate clamping, hand-tightening screws 4 are symmetrically threaded to the inner side of the positioning hollow ring 1 and located above the second measuring scale 3. One end of each hand-tightening screw 4 and located inside the positioning hollow ring 1 is fixed with a fastening head 5. The other end of each hand-tightening screw 4 and located outside the positioning hollow ring 1 is fixed with a support cylinder 6. By grasping the support cylinder 6 and rotating the hand-tightening screw 4, the two fastening heads 5 can be brought closer to each other, thereby facilitating the clamping of the pen-shaped ionization chamber probe located inside the positioning hollow ring 1.

[0032] Before and after the second measuring ruler 3 rotates, in order to facilitate the positioning and fixing of the second measuring ruler 3, a positioning post 7 is symmetrically fixed on the outer side of the positioning hollow ring 1 and at the upper end of the second measuring ruler 3. A guide groove 8 is symmetrically opened inside the second measuring ruler 3 and on the outer side of the positioning hollow ring 1. A limiting slide 10 is slidably connected to the inner side of both guide grooves 8. The support cylinder 6 and the positioning post 7 are slidably connected to the limiting slide 10.

[0033] To prevent the limiting slide 10 from disengaging from the guide groove 8, guide posts 9 are provided on the inner side of both guide grooves 8. The guide posts 9 are fixed to the second measuring ruler 3, and the limiting slide 10 is located outside the guide posts 9 and is slidably connected to the guide posts 9.

[0034] In order to facilitate the automatic reset of the limit slide 10 after each sliding limit slide 10 is released, a first spring 11 is sleeved on the outside of each guide post 9. One end of the two first springs 11 is fixed to the two limit slides 10 respectively, and the other end of the two first springs 11 is fixed to the second measuring ruler 3.

[0035] After clamping the pen-shaped ionization chamber probe, and when it is necessary to unfold the second measuring scale 3, first pull the two limiting slides 10 away from each other so that the two limiting slides 10 slide out from the outside of the two positioning posts 7, thereby facilitating the 90-degree rotation of the second measuring scale 3. After the second measuring scale 3 is unfolded 90 degrees, release the two limiting slides 10 and use the elasticity of the first spring 11 to drive the two limiting slides 10 to reset, so that the two limiting slides 10 slide into the outside of the two support cylinders 6 respectively, thereby limiting and fixing the position of the second measuring scale 3.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] The pen-shaped ionization chamber probe positioning bracket provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 3-5As shown, in order to facilitate the placement of the positioning hollow ring 1, the first measuring ruler 2 and the second measuring ruler 3 on the circular opening of the examination bed, two bearing seats 14 are fixed at the bottom of the first measuring ruler 2 and on the outside of the positioning hollow ring 1. A support shaft 15 is fixed on the inner side of each bearing seat 14. A support leg 16 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the support shaft 15. A foot 22 is fixed at the end of the support leg 16 away from the support shaft 15, so that support can be easily achieved after the support leg 16 is unfolded.

[0038] When the support leg 16 is unfolded around the support shaft 15, in order to facilitate the positioning and fixing of the support leg 16, a support rod 17 is fixed on both sides of the end of each support leg 16 near the support shaft 15. A first spur gear 18 is fixed on the side of each support rod 17 away from the support leg 16. A gear groove 19 is opened inside both sides of each bearing seat 14. A second spur gear 20 is slidably connected inside the gear groove 19. The second spur gear 20 meshes with the first spur gear 18. A second spring 21 is also provided inside each gear groove 19. One end of the second spring 21 is fixed to the second spur gear 20, and the other end of the second spring 21 is fixed to the bearing seat 14.

[0039] Specifically, when the two support legs 16 are not unfolded, the second flat gear 20 is pressed down to slide into the inside of the gear groove 19, thereby disengaging the second flat gear 20 from the first flat gear 18, making it easier to flip and unfold the support leg 16 around the support shaft 15. When the two support legs 16 are unfolded and the teeth of the second flat gear 20 and the first flat gear 18 are aligned, the second flat gear 20 is released and the elasticity of the second spring 21 is used to drive the second flat gear 20 to reset, so that the second flat gear 20 re-engages with the first flat gear 18, thereby fixing the position of the support leg 16.

[0040] When the two supporting legs 16 are folded together and in an unfolded state, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to further fix the two support legs 16, a mounting base 12 is symmetrically fixed on the outer side of the positioning hollow ring 1 and at the lower end of the first measuring ruler 2. Both mounting bases 12 are threaded with hand-tightening bolts 13. The support leg 22 is slidably connected to the hand-tightening bolt 13. That is, when the two support legs 16 are not unfolded, the hand-tightening bolt 13 passes through the support leg 22 and is threadedly connected to the mounting base 12 to fix the two support legs 16.
