Detachable Jaw Base for Medical Accelerator Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The maintenance of medical accelerators is complicated due to the direct integration of jaws with the mounting frame, making it difficult to separate the jaw for maintenance, which impairs user experience and increases maintenance difficulties.
Innovation Solution
A jaw assembly with a detachable jaw base connected to a mounting seat of a treatment head beam shaping module, featuring a moving assembly that allows the jaw body to adjust between the beam opening and the treatment head beam shaping module, facilitating easy maintenance by allowing the jaw base to be removed from the mounting seat.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the jaw is directly connected to and integrated with the mounting frame, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The jaw assembly is divided into separate components: the jaw base, the jaw body, and the mounting frame. The jaw base can be detached from the mounting frame, allowing the jaw to be removed for maintenance while keeping the mounting frame intact. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling easy repair without compromising the structural stability of the overall system.
2Device complexity
If the jaw is integrated with the mounting frame, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The jaw assembly is segmented into detachable components (jaw base, jaw body, mounting frame), which simplifies the overall device complexity while improving ease of operation. The jaw can be easily removed and installed without affecting the mounting frame or other components.
Solution Approach 2:
The jaw base is extracted as a separate detachable component from the mounting frame. This allows the jaw to be easily removed for maintenance or replacement without disassembling the entire mounting structure, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining relatively simple device complexity.
3Manufacturing precision
If the jaw is directly connected to the mounting frame, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the ease of manufacture deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The jaw assembly is segmented into separate components that can be manufactured independently with high precision, then assembled together. This allows each component to be optimized for manufacturing precision while simplifying the overall ease of manufacture through modular assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The jaw base is extracted as a separate component, allowing it to be manufactured and assembled independently. This improves ease of manufacture by enabling modular production while maintaining manufacturing precision through dedicated manufacturing processes for each component.

AI summary
A jaw assembly and a medical accelerator are provided. The jaw assembly includes: a jaw base, a moving assembly and at least one set of jaws, each set of jaws including at least two jaw bodies. The jaw base is detachably connected to a mounting seat of a treatment head beam shaping module of a medical accelerator, and when the jaw base is mounted on the mounting seat, a beam opening formed is located under the treatment head beam shaping module. The jaw body is connected to the jaw base through the moving assembly, and the moving assembly is configured to move the jaw body to between the beam opening and the treatment head beam shaping module, or to move the jaw body out between the beam opening and the treatment head beam shaping module to adjust a beam flow through the beam opening.
