Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a head limiting structure. Background Technology
[0002] Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is the physical process by which atomic nuclei with non-zero magnetic moments undergo Zeeman splitting of their spin energy levels under the influence of an external magnetic field, resonating and absorbing radio frequency radiation of a certain frequency. NMR spectroscopy is a branch of spectroscopy, and its resonance frequency is in the radio frequency band. The corresponding transition is a transition of nuclear spin at the nuclear Zeeman energy level. During NMR, patients need to lie on a bed and keep their bodies still. However, many traditional NMR bed frames use a single headrest structure for patient head positioning. While this allows for precise head positioning, it lacks a stable restraint structure. Patients often shake their heads or move their bodies during the test, causing head displacement, which can affect the test results and makes the system unstable. Utility Model Content

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] Reference Figs. 1-2This utility model provides an embodiment of a head positioning structure, including a positioning frame 1. The top of the positioning frame 1 has a pillow groove 2. The positioning frame 1 is typically fixedly installed at one end of an MRI examination bed. The pillow groove 2 is the positioning position for the patient's head. Buckles 3 are rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the positioning frame 1. A set of rotating blocks 4 are fixedly connected to both the positioning frame 1 and the two buckles 3. The two sets of rotating blocks 4 are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 5. The buckles 3 are arc-shaped, allowing them to cover the patient's head and provide auxiliary positioning. The buckles 3 can be easily rotated and opened for convenient positioning examinations. The inner surfaces of both buckles 3 have storage grooves 7. A clamping frame 8 is nested and slidably connected within each of the two storage grooves 7. The clamping frame 8 is positioned near one end of the buckle 3 and its function is to adjust it to fit the patient's forehead, thus providing auxiliary positioning. The inner walls of both storage grooves 7 have threaded grooves 10. A set of rotating blocks 10 is rotatably connected to each of the two clamping frames 8. The screws 11 and two threaded grooves 10 are connected by corresponding threads. One end of the positioning frame 1 and the two buckle frames 3 are fixedly connected to the top frame 14. The top frame 14 can block one end of the occipital groove 2, which is the blocking and positioning position of the top of the patient's head. One buckle frame 3 is provided with a buckle 18. One end of the buckle 18 is fixedly connected to one buckle frame 3 by a rivet 17. The buckle 18 is provided with a positioning buckle 19. The other buckle frame 3 is provided with a positioning buckle block 20. The positioning buckle 19 and the positioning buckle block 20 are fastened together. The positioning buckle 19 and the positioning buckle block 20 can be conventional snaps, which can be fastened together by pressing and can also be easily disassembled and opened. There are two sets of buckle 18, positioning buckle 19 and positioning buckle block 20. By fastening the positioning buckle 19 and the positioning buckle block 20 together, the two buckle frames 3 can be connected together. The entire positioning frame 1 and buckle frame 3 can be made of carbon fiber material, so as not to affect the normal use of the MRI equipment.
[0026] The inner wall of the pillow groove 2 and the inner surface of the two buckle frames 3 are provided with protective pad 1 6, and the outer surface of the two clamping frames 8 are provided with protective pad 2 9. The protective pad structure can play an auxiliary protective role when the patient's head is positioned.
[0027] Guide blocks 12 are fixedly connected to both clamping frames 8, and guide grooves 13 are provided on the inner walls of both storage slots 7. The two guide blocks 12 and the two guide grooves 13 are nested and slidably fitted. This structure allows the clamping frames 8 to be moved smoothly when the screw 11 rotates, in conjunction with the threaded groove 10.
[0028] One end of one of the fasteners 3 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 15, and the other end of the fastener 3 is provided with a positioning groove 16. The positioning block 15 and the positioning groove 16 are nested together. This structure can enhance the stability of the positioning after the two fasteners 3 are rotated and docked together.
[0029] Working principle: When using the head limiting structure, the patient's head is placed in the pillow groove 2, and the two buckle frames 3 are rotated to cover the patient's face. The positioning buckle 19 on the buckle 18 is fastened to the positioning buckle block 20, which fixes the two buckle frames 3 together. Rotating the screw 11, the screw 11 can drive the clamping frame 8 to move down through the cooperation of the threaded groove 10. When the clamping frame 8 is in contact with the patient's forehead, it can play a stable auxiliary positioning and fixation role.
