[0014] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments.

[0015] Example 1

[0016] 1 to 6, an embodiment of the present invention provides an adjustable positioning bracket mechanism for head, neck and abdomen radiotherapy, including: a positioning bracket mechanism 1, an adjusting mechanism 2, an adjusting motor 3, an adjusting roller 4, an adjusting chute 5, a height adjustment slider 6, a fixing block 7, an adjusting roller positioning shaft 8, a first support frame 9, a second support frame 10, a support frame fixed shaft 11, a support frame fixed shaft limiter 12, and an adjusting plate 13. The adjusting mechanism 2 is provided at the middle through-hole of the left end of the positioning bracket mechanism 1, the adjusting motor 3 is provided at the middle connection of the left end of the adjusting mechanism 2, the adjusting roller 4 is provided at the right end connection of the adjusting motor 3, and the front and rear ends of the interior of the positioning bracket mechanism 1 are connected to the adjusting roller 4. There are adjusting slots 5 in the transverse slots at both ends, a height adjusting slider 6 is provided on the left side of the inner part of the adjusting slot 5, a fixed block 7 is provided on the right side of the inner part of the adjusting slot 5, an adjusting roller positioning shaft 8 is provided at the middle connection of the left end of the fixing block 7 on the outer surface of the right end of the adjusting roller shaft 4, a first support frame 9 is provided at the top connection of the height adjusting slider 6, a second support frame 10 is provided at the top connection of the fixing block 7, a support frame fixing shaft 11 is provided at the penetration point between the upper front side of the first support frame 9 and the upper front side of the second support frame 10, a number of support frame fixing shaft limiters 12 are provided on the outer surface of the support frame fixing shaft 11, and an adjustment plate 13 is provided at the top connection of the first support frame 9 and the second support frame 10.When the present invention is used, first, the medical staff needs to disinfect the entire positioning bracket mechanism 1, keep the headrest 20 or the abdominal silicone sheet 24 clean and hygienic, and reduce the risk of cross infection. At the beginning of treatment, the medical staff needs to adjust the position of the positioning bracket mechanism 1 according to the actual situation of the patient, turn on the main switch 15, and provide power to the positioning bracket mechanism 1. Then, by adjusting the motor lifting control button 16, the height, angle, etc. of the positioning bracket mechanism 1 are adjusted to adapt to the patient's body. The adjusting roller 4 is a roller driven by the adjusting motor 3, which is used to adjust the position of the patient's body part during treatment. The adjusting motor 3 provides power to the adjusting mechanism 2, converting the rotational motion into the adjusting roller 4. The linear motion of the adjustment slide 5 is a groove-shaped structure with a guide rail function, which is used to guide the linear motion of the height adjustment slider 6 and fix the fixed block 7. The height adjustment slider 6 can slide freely in the adjustment slide 5 and realize the lifting motion by adjusting the roller 4. By setting the adjustment slide 5, the lifting process of the positioning bracket mechanism 1 can be made smoother. While sliding, the adjustment plate 13 is lifted up to realize the fine adjustment of the height of the head, neck and abdomen placement seat 17. The head, neck and abdomen placement seat 17 is the basic part of the positioning bracket mechanism 1, which is used to place the patient's head, neck and abdomen. The surface of the head, neck and abdomen placement seat 17 usually has a certain arc shape to adapt to patients of different body shapes. In addition, there are slots and heads on the head, neck and abdomen placement seat 17. The pillow mounting groove 18 and the abdominal silicone sheet mounting groove 22 are connected to other components. During the adjustment process, medical staff need to closely observe the movement of the positioning bracket mechanism 1 to ensure that it does not cause discomfort or harm to the patient. In addition, according to the needs of the patient, medical staff can adjust the head, neck and abdomen placement seat 17 on site. When the head, neck and abdomen placement seat 17 needs to be placed on the head and neck, the headrest 20 is mainly used to support the patient's head and keep it in the appropriate position. The shape and material of the headrest 20 can be customized according to the needs of the patient to provide optimal support and comfort. The headrest 20 is used in conjunction with the headrest mounting groove 18 and the headrest mounting member 19 to achieve precise positioning of the headrest. The silicone block 21 is a material with good elasticity and softness and can be used for the surface of the headrest 20. The silicone block 21 can improve the patient's comfort and reduce fatigue and discomfort during long-term treatment. In addition, the silicone block 21 can also absorb radiation and protect the patient from unnecessary radiation damage. When the patient's abdomen needs to be supported, the medical staff can remove the headrest 20. The abdominal silicone sheet 24 is mainly used to support the patient's abdomen and keep it in the appropriate position. The shape and material of the abdominal silicone sheet 24 can be customized according to the patient's needs to provide optimal support and comfort, and the precise adjustment of the position of the abdominal silicone sheet 24 can be achieved, thereby ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of radiotherapy.
