Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an infant scanning basket and scanning system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, during CT scans, infants and young children are typically secured with standard restraints and accompanied and comforted by family members. However, due to their active and restless nature and lack of self-control, infants and young children often cry during the scan, even with parental supervision. This not only prolongs the scan time, often requiring the infant to be comforted again before the scan can continue, but also makes the waiting time unpredictable. Furthermore, when transferred to the scanning table, infants and young children may become restless repeatedly, requiring multiple scans to complete the examination. This not only increases the radiation dose received by the infant, young child, and accompanying family members but also introduces more difficulties and uncertainties into the examination process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an infant scanning basket and scanning system to solve the problems in the prior art where infants and young children experience prolonged scanning time, repeated scanning, and unnecessary radiation dose increases during CT scanning due to crying, lack of self-control, etc.

[0005] An infant scanning basket includes:

[0006] The basket has a recessed groove at the top.

[0007] A movable component is slidably mounted on the basket along its length.

[0008] An audiovisual component, disposed on the movable component, is used to play audio and / or display images and / or monitor in real time;

[0009] A restraint strap is provided on the basket body, and the restraint strap restrains the target within the receiving slot;

[0010] A locking component for locking the basket onto the scanning bed.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a swing mechanism configured to swing the basket under the action of an external force when the locking component is unlocked.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the basket has an arc-shaped structure, and the swing mechanism includes an arc-shaped protrusion formed by the bottom of the basket and extending outward from both ends of the bottom of the basket in the length direction, and a bracket movably connected to the arc-shaped protrusion.

[0013] The bracket includes a support structure surrounding the arc-shaped protrusion and a handle on the support structure. The support structure includes a base plate and side plates at both ends of the base plate. The two ends of the handle pass through the arc-shaped protrusion and are respectively connected to the two side plates. The two ends of the arc-shaped protrusion are respectively provided with openings along the circumference for the handle to move. The arc-shaped protrusion and the base plate are connected by rollers.

[0014] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a first limiting block, a second limiting block, and a positioning pin, wherein the first limiting block and the second limiting block are fixed by limiting bolts and elastic reset members;

[0015] The second limiting block includes a top seat, a base, and a side post connecting one end of the top seat and the base. The top seat, the base, and the side post form a slot.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides an infant scanning basket comprising a basket body 1, a moving component 3, an audiovisual component 4, a restraint strap 5, and a locking component 6. The basket body 1 has a recessed receiving groove at its top. The moving component 3 is slidably mounted on the basket body 1 along its length. The audiovisual component 4 is mounted on the moving component 3 and is used for playing audio and / or displaying images and / or real-time monitoring. The restraint strap 5 is mounted on the basket body 1 and restrains the target within the receiving groove. The locking component 6 is used to lock the basket body 1 onto the scanning bed. It should be noted that, to avoid the infant scanning basket affecting the scanning results during scanning, in this embodiment, the basket body 1, the moving component 3, the restraint strap 5, and the locking component 6 are all made of non-metallic materials, such as polypropylene or polycarbonate.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, the surface of the receiving groove is provided with a flexible element 8. The flexible element 8 can provide a soft touch, reduce direct contact between hard surfaces and infants, thereby improving comfort and avoiding skin irritation caused by discomfort or friction. Specifically, the flexible element 8 is a sponge.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the moving component 3 includes slide rails 31 disposed on both sides of the basket 1 along its length, a moving bracket 32 ​​spanning the two slide rails 31, and a robotic arm 33 disposed on the moving bracket 32. The moving bracket 32 ​​is slidably disposed on the two slide rails 31, allowing it to move along the slide rails 31 to a suitable position and avoid interference during scanning.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the audiovisual component 4 includes a display mounted on the robotic arm 33, which is signal-connected to an external control unit. The display includes a controller, a screen, a speaker, a microphone, and a camera, employing a conventional structure, which will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the camera can recognize the infant's face and transmit the recognized facial position information to the controller. Based on the infant's facial position, the controller uses signals to control the robotic arm 33 to adjust the angle and height of the tablet to ensure that the display is always aligned with the infant's line of sight, thereby providing the best visual experience.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments, the restraint strap 5 is secured to the basket 1 or the slide rail 31 by hooks and loops. Specifically, there are several hooks, which are spaced apart along the length of the basket 1, so that different positions of the hooks can be selected for fixation according to the height of the infant. The hooks are a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] In this embodiment, the infant scanning basket also includes a swing mechanism 2, which is configured to swing the basket 1 under the action of an external force when the locking component 6 is unlocked.

[0047] Specifically, the bottom of the basket 1 has an arc-shaped structure, and the swing mechanism 2 includes an arc-shaped protrusion 21 formed by extending outward from both ends of the bottom of the basket 1 along its length, and a bracket movably connected to the arc-shaped protrusion 21. The slide rail 31 is disposed on the arc-shaped protrusion 21.

[0048] The bracket includes a support structure surrounding the arc-shaped protrusion 21 and a handle 22 disposed on the support structure. The support structure includes a base plate 23 and side plates 24 disposed at both ends of the base plate 23. The two ends of the handle 22 pass through the arc-shaped protrusion 21 and are respectively connected to the two side plates 24. The two ends of the arc-shaped protrusion 21 are respectively provided with openings 9 along the circumferential direction for the handle 22 to move. The arc-shaped protrusion 21 and the base plate 23 are connected by a roller 10.

[0049] It should be noted that the support structure consists of a base plate 23 and side plates 24 located at both ends of the base plate 23. The base plate 23 provides support, while the side plates 24 help stabilize the position of the basket 1. The handle 22 passes through the opening 9 through the arc-shaped protrusion 21 and connects to the side plate 24. When an external force pushes the basket 1, the basket 1 causes the arc-shaped protrusion 21 to slide within the support structure, avoiding the handle 22 through the openings 9 at both ends of the arc-shaped protrusion 21. The basket 1 swings repeatedly along the circumferential path of the arc-shaped protrusion 21. At the same time, the roller 10 converts the sliding friction between the arc-shaped protrusion 21 and the base plate 23 into rolling friction, thereby reducing friction and improving the smoothness of movement.

[0050] In other embodiments, the rocking mechanism 2 can also be configured as follows: arc-shaped grooves are formed by inward indentation at both ends of the basket 1 along its length, and support frames are fixed at both ends of the basket 1. Slider blocks matching the grooves are provided on the support frames. The basket 1, through the arc-shaped grooves and sliders, cooperates with the support frames to form a cradle structure. Under external force, based on gravity, the sliders will always move to the lowest end of the arc-shaped groove, thereby achieving repeated rocking. Furthermore, a locking block cooperating with the locking component 6 can be provided at the bottom of the basket 1 to fix the position of the basket 1 when the locking component 6 is locked. This application does not limit the specific structure of the rocking mechanism 2.

[0051] As described above, the swing mechanism 2 is configured to swing the basket 1 under the action of external force when the locking component 6 is unlocked. That is, when the locking component 6 locks the infant scanning basket, it also locks the position of the bracket and the arc-shaped protrusion 21.

[0052] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 6 includes a first limiting block 61, a second limiting block 62, and a positioning pin 7. The first limiting block 61 and the second limiting block 62 are fixed by a limiting bolt 63 and an elastic reset member 64. The elastic reset member 64 is specifically a spring, which is sleeved on the limiting bolt 63. To match the position of the locking bracket and the arc-shaped protrusion 21, the arc-shaped protrusion 21 and the base plate 23 are respectively provided with a first through-hole and a second through-hole.

[0053] Specifically, the second limiting block 62 includes a top seat 621, a base 622, and a side post 623 connecting one end of the top seat 621 and the base 622. The top seat 621, the base 622, and the side post 623 form a slot. The upper surface of the top seat 621 is recessed inward with a second clearance groove 624. A second positioning hole 625 is provided at the second clearance groove 624, which passes through the top and bottom surfaces of the top seat 621. The top surface of the side post 623 is recessed inward with a second mounting hole 626.

[0054] The first limiting block 61 is disposed above the second limiting block 62. The first limiting block 61 includes a horizontal plate 611 and a vertical plate 612 that bends downward from the horizontal plate 611. A first mounting hole 613 is provided on the vertical plate 612, which passes through the top and bottom surfaces of the vertical plate 612. A first clearance groove 614 is recessed inward on the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 611. A first positioning hole 615 is provided at the first clearance groove 614, which passes through the top and bottom surfaces of the horizontal plate 611.

[0055] The first mounting hole 613 and the second mounting hole 626 are used to cooperate with the limiting bolt 63 and the elastic reset member 64, the first positioning hole 615 and the second positioning hole 625 are used to cooperate with the positioning pin 7, and the sum of the depths of the first clearance groove 614 and the second clearance groove 624 is equal to the distance between the upper surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 21 and the lower surface of the bottom plate 23.

[0056] In use, the base 622 of the second limiting block 62 is inserted into the head support slot of the scanning bed, and the head support slot engages with the slot. Then, the first limiting block 61 is lifted upwards, and the stroke is limited by the limiting bolt 63. After lifting, the arc-shaped protrusion 21 and the base plate 23 are placed into the first clearance slot 614 and the second clearance slot 624. At the same time, the positioning pin 7 is aligned with the first positioning hole 615. At this time, the first limiting block 61 is reset by the spring, and the positioning pin 7 passes through the first positioning hole 615, the first through-pin hole, the second through-pin hole and the second positioning hole 625 in sequence, thereby locking the position of the bracket and the arc-shaped protrusion 21 and fixing the infant scanning basket on the scanning bed.

[0057] It is worth noting that, in order to avoid the rollers 10 from affecting the locking assembly 6, in this embodiment, the number of rollers 10 is set to two, and they are respectively set on both sides of the lowest end of the arc-shaped protrusion 21.
