Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mammary gland machines, and in particular to a compression device identification and detection structure for a mammary gland machine and the mammary gland machine itself. Background Technology
[0002] Breast cancer incidence is increasing worldwide and is one of the leading causes of death among women. Early detection, diagnosis, and treatment can reduce the probability of death and improve patient survival rates. Early-stage breast cancer patients often present with breast diseases such as breast hyperplasia, mastitis, mastalgia, and fibroadenomas, which are often the primary causes of breast cancer. In recent years, with continuous development in scientific research and clinical medicine, mammography equipment has been constantly updated, leading to the emergence of new technologies and methods. Mammography is widely used in clinical practice for screening and diagnosing breast diseases. Further diagnosis of breast cancer can be achieved through mammography and biopsy for pathological analysis.
[0003] The compressor in a mammography machine is an auxiliary device for mammography. The purpose of the compressor is to reduce the distance between the breast and the flat plate probe, bringing the breast structure closer to the image receiving surface, improving geometric sharpness, reducing geometric blur, and improving image contrast and resolution, thereby obtaining clearer breast images and enabling doctors to make more accurate diagnoses of patients.
[0004] like Figure 1 As shown, most mammography products on the market are 2D imaging devices. Their compressors (100) have simple functions and are all snap-fit installation structures, making quick installation inconvenient. Furthermore, they lack compressor detection capabilities, relying solely on physicians to manually identify the compressor type before installation on the mammography machine. Given the large number of patients physicians see daily, this easily leads to the risk of selecting the wrong compressor (100). For example, a patient might require a routine mammogram using only a conventional compressor, but the physician uses a 2D biopsy compressor, potentially causing medical malpractice.

The photoelectric detection module is installed in the installation port. The compression device is provided with an inlet seat adapted to the installation port. The inlet seat is provided with a locking module and a detection and identification plate. The locking module locks the inlet seat in the installation port when the inlet seat is inserted into the installation port. The detection and identification plate is detected by the photoelectric detection module when the inlet seat is inserted into the installation port.
[0008] Furthermore, the locking module includes a locking pin and an unlocking push block disposed in the inlet seat. A locking hole is provided on the mounting port. An elastic element is fitted on the locking pin. One end of the locking pin passes through the inlet seat and locks in the locking hole when the elastic element is pushed. The unlocking push block has a pushing inclined surface. A through hole is provided on the locking pin. The through hole connects the front end and the rear end of the locking pin. A pulley is disposed in the through hole. The pushing inclined surface passes through the through hole and abuts against the pulley. One end of the locking pin disengages from the locking hole when the unlocking push block is pushed.
[0009] Furthermore, the inlet seat is provided with a locking pin fixing seat, the locking pin fixing seat is provided with a movable chamber, and both the locking pin and the elastic element are disposed in the movable chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, the detection and identification plate is located at the front end of the inlet seat.
[0011] Furthermore, the pulley is connected in the through hole via a rotating shaft, and both ends of the rotating shaft are connected with snap rings.
[0012] Furthermore, the photoelectric detection module includes an infrared lens and a reflective photoelectric module, with the infrared lens located at the rear end of the reflective photoelectric module.
[0013] Furthermore, the presser includes a presser seat, with presser frame arms on both sides of the presser seat, and a presser crossbeam located at the front end of the presser seat between the two presser frame arms, with the inlet seat located on the presser crossbeam.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0036] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the mammary gland machine 1 includes a lifting device 2, which has an installation port 3. The identification and detection structure includes a photoelectric detection module 5 and a compressor 6. The photoelectric detection module 5 is installed in the installation port 3. The compressor 6 has an inlet seat 7 adapted to the installation port 3. The inlet seat 7 has a locking module 8 and a detection and identification plate 9. The locking module 8 locks the inlet seat 7 in the installation port 3 when it is inserted into the installation port 3. The detection and identification plate 9 is detected by the photoelectric detection module 5 when the inlet seat 7 is inserted into the installation port 3.
[0037] Compared with the shortcomings of the prior art, in this utility model, when installing the compressor 6, the insertion seat 7 located on the compressor 6 is inserted into the installation port 3, so that the locking module 8 can be locked in the installation port 3. At this time, the detection and identification plate 9 can be detected by the photoelectric detection module 5 and the information is fed back to automatically identify the type of compressor 6. After matching it with the examination plan required by the patient, subsequent operations are performed. Therefore, this utility model can quickly install the compressor 6 and can automatically identify the type of compressor 6, thereby avoiding the selection of the wrong compressor 6, and can quickly replace the required type of compressor 6, improving examination efficiency and reducing the risk of accidents. This makes the identification and detection structure easy to install and able to automatically identify the type of compressor.
[0038] like Figures 2 to 8As shown, in some embodiments, the locking module 8 includes a locking pin 10 and an unlocking push block 11 disposed in the inlet seat 7. The mounting port 3 is provided with a locking hole 12. An elastic element 13 is fitted on the locking pin 10. One end of the locking pin 10 passes through the inlet seat 7 and is locked in the locking hole 12 when pushed by the elastic element 13. The unlocking push block 11 has a pushing inclined surface 15. The locking pin 10 is provided with a through hole 16, which connects the front end and the rear end of the locking pin 10. A pulley 17 is disposed in the through hole 16. The pushing inclined surface 15 passes through the through hole 16 and abuts against the pulley 17. One end of the locking pin 10 disengages from the locking hole 12 when the unlocking push block 11 is pushed. The inlet seat 7 is provided with a locking pin fixing seat 14, which is provided with a movable chamber 24. Both the locking pin 10 and the elastic element 13 are disposed in the movable chamber 24. Among them, the elastic element 13 is a spring, which plays the role of pushing the locking pin 10 upward; the locking pin fixing seat 14 fixes the locking pin 10 and guides its movement, and also plays the role of limiting the inward movement of the unlocking push block 11; by setting the tilt angle of the unlocking push block 11 to 31 degrees and the length to 11 mm, the locking pin 10 can move up and down.
[0039] It should be noted that when the guide seat 7 on the presser 6 is inserted into the mounting port 3, one end of the locking pin 10 is pushed out of the guide seat 7 by the elastic element 13 and locked in the locking hole 12. At this time, the detection and identification plate 9 can be detected by the photoelectric detection module 5. When the presser 6 needs to be removed, by pushing the unlocking push block 11, the pushing inclined surface 15 can move horizontally to press down on the pulley 17, thereby converting the horizontal movement of the pushing inclined surface 15 into the vertical movement of the locking pin 10, and further causing one end of the locking pin 10 to disengage from the locking hole 12. At this time, the presser 6 can be unlocked and removed.
[0040] It is worth mentioning that in the above embodiments, the locking module 8 adopts a mechanical sliding mechanism, which forms a smooth unlocking mechanism by the angle cooperation between the pulley 17 and the unlocking push block 11. Its components are precise, reliable and stable. In addition, a solenoid valve can be used to push the sliding locking pin, or a motor transmission structure can be used to drive the sliding locking pin to lock.
[0041] like Figures 2 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the detection and identification plate 9 is located at the front end of the inlet seat 7; the photoelectric detection module 5 includes an infrared lens 20 and a reflective photoelectric module 21, with the infrared lens 20 located at the rear end of the reflective photoelectric module 21. Specifically, different types of pressure devices 6 employ different identification and detection methods, and each detection and identification plate 9 has a different position of obstruction surface for detection; when the required pressure device 6 is used, the detection and identification plate 9 feeds back to the reflective photoelectric module, thereby feeding the signal back to the remote control system through the reflective photoelectric module.
[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the pulley 17 is connected to the through hole 16 via a rotating shaft 18, and both ends of the rotating shaft 18 are connected to retaining rings 19. Specifically, the retaining rings 19 at both ends of the rotating shaft 18 prevent the rotating shaft 18 from falling off the pulley 17.
[0043] like Figures 7 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the presser 6 includes a presser seat 22, with presser frame arms 23 on both sides of the presser seat 22, and a presser crossbeam 25 located at the front end of the presser seat 22 between the two presser frame arms 23, and the guide seat 7 is located on the presser crossbeam 25.
[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the opening of the mounting port 3 has an inclined guide port 26. Specifically, the inclined guide port 26 allows the guide seat 7 to be easily inserted into the mounting port 3, and allows the locking pin 10 extending from the guide seat 7 to be pressed down until the locking pin 10 moves below the locking hole 12. The inclined angle of the inclined guide port 26 is 15 degrees, and the horizontal length of the inclined guide port 26 is 11 mm.
[0045] In addition, such as Figure 10 As shown, this utility model also provides a breast machine, which includes a breast machine main unit 27. The breast machine main unit 27 is equipped with a lifter 2 and a support platform 28. The support platform 28 is located below the lifter 2. The lifter 2 is provided with an installation port 3, and the installation port 3 is provided with the aforementioned identification and detection structure. The breast machine main unit 27 is electrically connected to a remote control system 29. Wherein, as... Figure 10 The various compressors 6 shown are, from left to right, a conventional compressor, a 2D biopsy compressor, a TOMO compressor, an axillary compressor, and a detail point compressor. Specifically, the specific structure of the identification and detection structure refers to the above embodiments. Since the identification and detection structure adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0046] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the mammography machine host 27 has an operation screen 30 and a C-arm 31, and the lift 2 and the support platform 28 are both mounted on the C-arm 31.
[0047] The operation of a mammography machine follows these steps:
[0048] First, the physician confirms the patient's required examination plan and enters it into the remote control system 29. The physician selects the required compression device 6 within the system and then enters the ready-to-work phase. The physician then brings the patient into the shielded examination room, selects the previously chosen compression device, and installs it onto the lift 2 of the mammography machine 1. The main system of the mammography machine 1 performs a self-check, automatically matching the compression device 6. If the compression device is correct, the main system will emit a "beep" sound and proceed to the next ready-to-work step. The physician then positions and compresses the patient's breasts accordingly. After completing the breast compression, the physician returns to the remote control system outside the shielded room to re-verify the required examination plan and compression status. If there are no issues, the physician will perform an exposure radiograph of the patient's breast and finally release the compression device 6, completing the operation. If an alarm occurs during the installation of the compression device 6, indicating an incorrect selection, the main system will pause operation, preventing further steps until the alarm is cleared or a correctly matched compression device 6 is replaced.
[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
