Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] See Figures 1-4 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0024] First embodiment: A C-arm crane with a support and adjustment structure, including a connecting frame 1, and further comprising:

[0025] The moving mechanism 2 is located on the left side of the connecting frame 1 for the detection and diagnosis of the lateral adjustment device;

[0026] The inspection mechanism 3, located on the right side of the connecting frame 1, is used to provide the surgeon with a surgical field of view for fluoroscopic observation during the operation. The inspection mechanism 3 includes a C-shaped frame 31 movably mounted on the right side of the connecting frame 1. An arc-shaped groove 34 is formed on the side of the C-shaped frame 31 closest to the connecting frame 1. Limiting plates 37 are fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the right side of the connecting frame 1 to restrict the movement trajectory of the C-shaped frame 31. An X-ray receiver 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the right side of the C-shaped frame 31, and an X-ray source 32 is fixedly installed at the top of the right side of the C-shaped frame 31. Both the C-shaped frame 31 and the C-shaped frame 36 are existing devices used for real-time X-ray fluoroscopic observation during the operation, and will not be described in detail here. The connecting frame 1 has an adjustment component inside for adjusting the arc... The C-shaped groove 34 is adjusted along a C-shaped path to ensure the clarity of the surgical field. The adjustment component includes an active gear 38 that is movably installed inside the connecting frame 1 to adjust the movement of the C-shaped frame 31. A self-locking motor 35 for driving the active gear 38 to rotate is fixedly installed on the front side of the connecting frame 1. Several toothed blocks 33 are fixedly installed on the right side of the arc-shaped groove 34. The outer side of the limiting plate 37 is slidably installed on the inner side of the arc-shaped groove 34. The front end of the active gear 38 moves through the interior of the connecting frame 1 and is fixedly installed at the output end of the self-locking motor 35. The outer side of the active gear 38 meshes with the outer side of several toothed blocks 33. When the self-locking motor 35 is activated, it drives the active gear 38 to rotate and move the C-shaped frame 31 along a C-shaped path through several toothed blocks 33 for adjustment.

[0027] The position of the examination mechanism 3 can be easily adjusted by the toothed block 33 and the drive gear 38 to ensure the clarity of the surgical field. When in use, the self-locking motor 35 is started to drive the drive gear 38 to rotate. Then, the drive gear 38 will move the C-shaped frame 31 in a C-shaped path through the toothed block 33 for adjustment. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the self-locking motor 35 is turned off, and the position of the C-shaped frame 31 can be fixed by the drive gear 38 to complete the adjustment, ensuring the clarity of the surgical field and the accuracy of diagnosis, and making it convenient to use.

[0028] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: the moving mechanism 2 includes a mounting box 22 movably mounted on the left side of the connecting frame 1. A brushless motor 23 for adjusting the rotation angle of the connecting frame 1 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting box 22. A display screen 21 for displaying the image observed by the inspection mechanism 3 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the mounting box 22. A horizontal plate 26 is movably mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting box 22. A main unit housing 29 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 26. A slider 25 for limiting the lateral movement trajectory of the mounting box 22 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting box 22. A sliding groove 27 is formed on the top surface of the horizontal plate 26. A screw 2 for adjusting the position of the mounting box 22 is movably mounted inside the sliding groove 27. 4. A DC motor 28 for driving the screw 24 to rotate is fixedly installed on the front side of the horizontal plate 26. The output end of the brushless motor 23 moves through the inside of the mounting box 22 and is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting frame 1. Starting the brushless motor 23 can drive the connecting frame 1 to rotate and adjust the rotation angle of the inspection mechanism 3. The bottom surface of the slider 25 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 27. The rear end of the screw 24 is threaded through the front side of the slider 25 and is movably installed on the rear side of the slide groove 27. The front end of the screw 24 moves through the inside of the slide groove 27 and is fixedly installed on the output end of the DC motor 28. Starting the DC motor 28 can drive the screw 24 to rotate and adjust the mounting box 22 through the slider 25 to make the inspection mechanism 3 move laterally.

[0029] The position of the inspection mechanism 3 can be easily adjusted by the brushless motor 23 and the horizontal plate 26. When in use, the DC motor 28 is started to drive the screw 24 to rotate, causing the slider 25 to move laterally. Then, the slider 25 can drive the mounting box 22 to move the inspection mechanism 3 laterally. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the DC motor 28 is turned off. Then, the brushless motor 23 is started to drive the connecting frame 1 to rotate, adjusting the rotation angle of the inspection mechanism 3. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the brushless motor 23 is turned off to fix the position of the connecting frame 1. The adjustment is convenient and the practicality is good.

[0030] Furthermore, all content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited; conventional equipment can be used.

[0031] In use, medical staff move the device to a suitable position, then start the DC motor 28 to drive the screw 24 to rotate, causing the slider 25 to move laterally. The slider 25 then drives the mounting box 22 to move the inspection mechanism 3 laterally. After adjusting to a suitable position, the DC motor 28 is turned off. Next, the brushless motor 23 is started to drive the connecting frame 1 to rotate, adjusting the rotation angle of the inspection mechanism 3. Once adjusted to a suitable position, the brushless motor 23 is turned off to fix the position of the connecting frame 1. Then, the X-ray source 32 is started through the main unit 29 to perform X-ray fluoroscopic observation on the patient. When it is necessary to adjust the angle between the X-ray source 32 and the X-ray receiver 36, the self-locking motor 35 is started to drive the drive gear 38 to rotate. The drive gear 38 then moves the C-frame 31 in a C-shaped path through the toothed block 33 for adjustment. After adjusting to a suitable position, the self-locking motor 35 is turned off, and the drive gear 38 fixes the position of the C-frame 31, completing the adjustment. Then, the device can continue to be used.
