A detector supporting apparatus with a sliding and supporting part that vertically supports a detector frame at the edge of a bed plate assembly, allowing it to slide and position accurately for multiple image captures, and a method for splicing these images to form a complete medical image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional detector support is used with manual positioning, then device complexity is reduced, but positioning precision and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The detector support is merged with the bed plate assembly by providing a support groove in the bed plate and a corresponding support protrusion on the detector support. This integration allows the detector support to move together with the bed plate, eliminating manual positioning operations while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The bed plate assembly serves multiple functions: it supports the patient, provides the support groove for the detector support, and enables coordinated movement. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate positioning mechanisms, improving ease of operation without significantly increasing device complexity.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual positioning of detector support is used, then device complexity is reduced, but image quality deteriorates due to inaccurate positioning
Solution Approach 1:
By combining the detector support with the bed plate assembly through the support groove and protrusion mechanism, the system achieves precise positioning without complex adjustment mechanisms. The integrated structure ensures consistent positioning accuracy across multiple images.
Solution Approach 2:
The support groove is pre-formed in the bed plate assembly during manufacturing, and the support protrusion is pre-positioned on the detector support. This preliminary preparation ensures accurate positioning is built into the structure itself, eliminating the need for complex real-time adjustment mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If independent detector movement is implemented, then adaptability for different imaging scenarios is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to manual labor requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The detector support is merged with the bed plate assembly, allowing the detector to move automatically with the bed plate. This integration maintains adaptability for different imaging scenarios while eliminating manual positioning labor, significantly improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The support groove and protrusion design allows the detector support to dynamically follow the bed plate movement. This dynamic coupling enables the detector to adapt to different positions and orientations automatically, maintaining versatility without manual intervention.
