[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a foot pedal anti-accidental step protection box includes a box body, a foot switch and a handle 3. The box body is a rectangular box with a hollow front end. The foot switch is installed inside the box body. The hollow area at the front end of the box body allows the user to put their foot inside the box body and step on the foot switch.
[0023] Handle 3 is installed on the box body, and the box body can be lifted and moved by using handle 3.
[0024] The enclosure includes a protective box 1, an observation glass 2, a rear panel 10, and a latch 11. The observation glass 2 is installed on the top of the protective box 1, allowing observation of the interior of the protective box 1 to prevent accidental stepping. It also allows observation of the pedal assembly to determine if it needs maintenance. The rear panel 10 is hinged to the inner rear end of the protective box 1. The latch 11 is installed on the rear panel 10 and the rear side wall of the protective box 1. The bottom of the rear panel 10 has a square groove for the transmission line to pass through, allowing the transmission line to connect to the pedal switch inside the protective box 1. The latch 11 allows the rear panel 10 to open and close from the rear side of the protective box 1. The groove on the top of the rear panel 10 allows the pedal switch with the connected transmission line to be placed inside the protective box 1.
[0025] A fixing component is installed on the bottom inner side of the protective box 1 to fix the foot switch. A connector is installed on the protective box 1 at the position corresponding to the handle 3. The handle 3 is installed on the protective box 1 through the connector. Furthermore, the handle 3 can be adjusted up and down by human pushing on the connector through the connector.
[0026] The foot switch includes a foot base plate 6 and a foot assembly 7. The foot assembly 7 is mounted on the foot base plate 6. The fixing assembly includes a latch, a latch groove, and an adjusting component. The latch is mounted on the bottom inner side of the protective box 1. The latch groove is opened at the bottom of the foot base plate 6, and the latch and the latch groove are positioned correspondingly. The adjusting component is mounted on the protective box 1. The adjusting component and the latch are connected to each other. The end of the adjusting component away from the latch extends through the side wall of the protective box 1 to the outside of the protective box 1 and corresponds to the bottom of the handle 3. When the handle 3 is pressed down by a person, the bottom end of the handle 3 will squeeze the adjusting component, so that the adjusting component adapts to the adjusting latch, thereby making the latch engage in the latch groove, and thus completing the locking of the foot switch.
[0027] The adjusting components include an adjusting groove 8, a pressure plate 9, an auxiliary adjusting groove 14, and a fixing rod 15. The adjusting groove 8 is located on the left and right sides of the bottom inner wall of the protective box 1, and the two sets of adjusting grooves 8 extend through the left and right side walls of the protective box 1 and outward from the opposite end. The pressure plate 9 is located inside the adjusting groove 8, and the two sets of pressure plates 9 are inclined at the opposite end. The inclined surface of the pressure plate 9 corresponds to the bottom of the handle 3. The thickness of the pressure plate 9 is less than the depth of the adjusting groove 8. Specifically, the thickness of the pressure plate 9 is no more than half the depth of the adjusting groove 8. The pressure plate 9 is located at the upper inner side of the adjusting groove 8. The auxiliary adjusting groove 14 is located on the side wall of the pressure plate 9. The auxiliary adjusting groove 14 is a strip-shaped groove. The fixing rod 15 is located inside the auxiliary adjusting groove 14, and the two ends of the fixing rod 15 are fixedly installed on the corresponding inner wall of the adjusting groove 8.
[0028] As the handle 3 is lowered, it first presses the pressure plate 9 downwards, causing the pressure plate 9 to rotate and adjust via the auxiliary adjustment groove 14 and the fixing rod 15. That is, the end of the pressure plate 9 near the handle 3 moves downwards, while the end of the pressure plate 9 away from the handle 3 drives the buckle to move upwards. When the bottom of one end of the pressure plate 9 contacts the bottom of the inner side of the adjustment groove 8, the inclined surface of the pressure plate 9 causes it to move into the adjustment groove 8, so that the upwardly moving buckle will engage in the buckling groove as the pressure plate 9 moves. Under the limiting pressure of both ends of the handle 3, the foot switch is fixed.
[0029] Furthermore, the adjustment groove 8 is an "L"-shaped groove. The "L" end of the adjustment groove 8 is located on one side close to each other of the two sets of adjustment grooves 8, and the "L" ends of the two sets of adjustment grooves 8 face different directions. Specifically, the "L" end of one set of adjustment grooves 8 faces forward, and the "L" end of the other set of adjustment grooves 8 faces backward. The buckle is installed on the "L" end of the adjustment groove 8. Through the staggered buckles at different positions on both sides, the fixing effect of the foot switch can be effectively improved.
[0030] The fastening component includes an adjustment base plate 12 and a locking plate 13. The adjustment base plate 12 is movably mounted on the pressure plate 9 at the "L" end position corresponding to the adjustment groove 8. The adjustment base plate 12 can rotate on the side wall of the pressure plate 9. The locking plate 13 is an "L" shaped plate. By adjusting the base plate 12 movably mounted on the pressure plate 9, when the pressure plate 9 is adjusted, the bottom of the pedal assembly and the top of the locking plate 13 limit the adjustment base plate 12 to rotate at an appropriate angle on the pressure plate 9. This effectively ensures that the top of the locking plate 13 and the bottom of the pedal assembly are always on the same horizontal plane, thereby effectively locking the pedal assembly.
[0031] The latching groove includes a clearance groove 18, a latching slot 19, and a fixing plate 20. The clearance groove 18 is located at the bottom of the foot pedal base plate 6, and its position corresponds to the position of the pressure plate 9 on the protective box 1. The clearance groove 18 allows the adjustable pressure plate 9 to move and adjust within the clearance groove 18, preventing obstruction during adjustment. The latching slot 19 is located inside the clearance groove 18, corresponding to the latching position. The fixing plate 20 is fixedly installed on the inside of the latching slot 19. There is a gap between the top of the fixing plate 20 and the inside of the latching slot 19. The size of the gap between the fixing plate 20 and the latching slot 19 is adapted to the thickness of the "L" end of the latching plate 13. The length of the fixing plate 20 is adapted to the length of the "L" end of the latching plate 13. The fixing plate 20 allows the latching plate 13 to be latched inside the latching slot 19.
[0032] The adjusting component also includes an auxiliary pressure plate 16 and an auxiliary spring 17. The auxiliary pressure plate 16 is located inside the auxiliary adjusting groove 14 near the end of the fixed rod 15. The position of the auxiliary pressure plate 16 corresponding to the fixed rod 15 is arc-shaped. The size of the arc on the auxiliary pressure plate 16 is adapted to the size of the outer diameter arc of the fixed rod 15. The auxiliary spring 17 is fixedly installed on the end of the auxiliary pressure plate 16 away from the fixed rod 15. The end of the auxiliary spring 17 away from the auxiliary pressure plate 16 is fixedly installed on the wall surface of the corresponding position inside the auxiliary adjusting groove 14.
[0033] With the auxiliary pressure plate 16 and the auxiliary spring 17, when the handle 3 rises without pressing the pressure plate 9, the auxiliary spring 17 can drive the pressure plate 9 to reset, thereby effectively and quickly releasing the fixation of the pedal assembly.
[0034] The connector includes a limiting plate 4 and a pressing block 5. The limiting plate 4 is a "U"-shaped plate and is fixedly installed on the side wall of the protective box 1 corresponding to the handle 3. The pressing block 5 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the limiting plate 4. The pressing block 5 is a "U"-shaped plate adapted to the limiting plate 4. The inner diameter of the pressing block 5 is adapted to the size of the corresponding position of the handle 3. The handle 3 can be adjusted up and down on the pressing block 5. The pressing block 5 can provide resistance to the lifting and lowering of the handle 3, so that the handle 3 cannot be lifted and lowered on the pressing block 5 when it is not affected by human pressure. When the handle 3 is affected by human pressure, it can be adjusted up and down on the pressing block 5.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] When using this utility model, the foot switch of the radial C-arm is placed stably in a suitable position inside the protective box 1. The foot switch is fixed to the bottom inside the protective box 1 by the fixing component. According to the actual working scenario and operation requirements, the protective box 1 with the foot switch is placed in a position that is convenient for the operator to step on and operate normally, but is not easily touched by other walking personnel. Through the observation glass 2 on the protective box 1, the basket can be checked regularly for damage, deformation, etc., to ensure that its protective function is normal. At the same time, the status of the foot switch inside the basket is checked to ensure that it can respond to the operation normally.
[0037] The protective box 1 effectively solves the problem of accidental activation of the C-arm radiation switch in hospitals and other settings where personnel move around frequently. It prevents the radiation equipment from being accidentally activated due to accidental activation, reduces the risk of radiation exposure to medical staff in the radiation equipment working area due to misoperation, protects the health of personnel, and at the same time makes the use environment of radiation operation-related equipment more standardized, reducing the risk of accidental activation of the switch.
[0038] After placing the protective box 1 in the designated position, press down the handle 3 so that the bottom of the handle 3 presses against the corresponding position of the pressure plate 9. The pressure plate 9 will adapt and adjust inside the adjustment groove 8, thereby causing the pressure plate 9 to move and adjust the adjustment base plate 12 and the locking plate 13 into the bottom clearance groove 18 and the locking groove 19 of the step base plate 6. Then, the locking plate 13 is locked inside the locking plate 13 under the obstruction of the fixing plate 20, thereby completing the fixation of the step switch. At the same time, pressing down the handle 3 can also reduce the space occupied by the protective box.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
