DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0049] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. The various embodiments of the present disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. Elements that are identified using the same or similar reference characters refer to the same or similar elements.
[0050] Referring to
[0051] In an embodiment, the end of the infusion clip 2 is slidable along the guiding rail. In the CT device, the CT gantry 1 is also used as an infusion stand, and the guiding rail 12 is arranged on the CT gantry 1, so that the infusion assembly can be hung adjacent to the gantry aperture of the CT device, and the infusion assembly fixed to the CT gantry 1 will not interfere with other devices, simplifying the overall structure. In addition, since the infusion clip 2 for fixing the infusion assembly is slidably connected to the guiding rail 12, when a scanning bed 20 moves, a length of the infusion catheter 10 of the infusion assembly outside the guiding rail 12 can be adjusted by moving the infusion clip 2 along the guiding rail 12, so that the infusion catheter 10 will not be wound, stacked or stretched between the scanning bed 20 and the CT gantry 1, so as to meet the infusion requirements of patients in different scanning scenarios.
[0052] Specifically, referring to
[0053] In an embodiment, the infusion catheter 10 is fixed to the infusion clip 2, and the infusion catheter 10 moves along with the infusion clip 2. In another embodiment, the infusion catheter 10 is movable connected to the infusion catheter 10. That is, the infusion catheter 10 can be pulled back and forth relative to the infusion clip 2. In this way, more portions of the infusion catheter 10 can be retracted and released to better meet the infusion requirements of patients in different scanning scenarios. In an embodiment, the infusion clip 2 is provided with a clamping portion, which is configured to clamp the infusion catheter 10 on the infusion clip 2, so that the infusion catheter 10 and the infusion clip 2 cannot move relative to each other, and release the infusion catheter 10, so that the infusion catheter 10 and the infusion clip 2 can move relative to each other. A user can clamp the infusion catheter 10 or release the infusion catheter 10 through the clamping portion as required.
[0054] Referring to
[0055] As shown in
[0056] In an embodiment, the upper portions of the first end cover and the second end cover of the CT gantry 1 are each provided with the hook 11, the guiding rail 12, and the infusion clip 2, so that doctors or patients can hang the infusion bag and the infusion catheter 10 adjacent to the patients according to different scanning scenes.
[0057] In the present embodiment, as shown in
[0058] In order to facilitate an adjustment of an arrangement direction of the infusion catheter 10, an end of the infusion clip 2 adjacent to the guiding rail 12 is rotatably connected to the guiding rail 12, so that the infusion clip 2 can be rotated around the axial direction of the main body 21 to meet the requirement of adjusting the arrangement direction of the infusion catheter 10.
[0059] In order to facilitate the assembly, disassembly, and rotation of the infusion clip 2, the infusion clip 2 is made of elastic material, which is also convenient for the infusion catheter 10 to extend therethrough.
[0060] In order to improve the fixing effect, a plurality of infusion clips 2 are provided, and the plurality of infusion clips 2 are arranged on the guiding rail 12.
[0061] As shown in
[0062] Specifically, as shown in
[0063] As shown in
[0064] As shown in
[0065] In other embodiments, only one of the pressure sensor 4 and the flow rate sensor 5 may be provided.
[0066] In other embodiments, the pressure sensor 4 and the flow rate sensor 5 can also be electrically connected to the controller, and the controller receives monitoring values of the pressure sensor 4 and the flow rate sensor 5. When the monitoring value of the pressure sensor 4 and/or the flow rate sensor 5 exceeds a preset value, the controller controls the alarm device to give an alarm as an early warning.
[0067] As shown in
[0069] In the present embodiment, when the scanning bed 20 moves from the outside towards the gantry aperture of the CT device to reach the position of a laser light of the CT device, the infusion site of the patient on the scanning bed 20 gradually approaches the lowest end of the guiding rail 12, and thus the length of the infusion catheter 10 will become redundant. During this period, the controller controls the stepper motor 3 to rotate in a first direction, thereby driving the infusion clip 2 to move down along the guiding rail 12, so as to retract the redundant infusion catheter 10 between the patient's infusion site and the CT gantry 1 in the guiding rail 12, preventing the infusion catheter 10 from being twisted and messy. When the scanning bed 20 continues to move from the position of the laser light toward the gantry aperture, the infusion site of the patient on the scanning bed 20 gradually departs from the lowest end of the guiding rail 12, and the controller controls the stepper motor 3 to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction, thereby driving the infusion clip 2 to move upward along the guiding rail 12, so as to release the infusion catheter 10 to meet the distance requirement between the patient's infusion site and the CT gantry 1, and the infusion catheter 10 is prevented from being tightened or falling off, which causes safety hazards.
[0070] Conversely, when the scanning bed 20 moves from inside the gantry aperture of the CT device, passes the laser light, and gradually outside the gantry aperture, the stepper motor 3 causes the infusion clip 2 to first retract and then release the infusion catheter 10.
[0071] In an embodiment, the controller is further configured to calculate a relationship between a releasing or retracting length of the infusion catheter 10 and a moving angle of the infusion clip 2 on the guiding rail 12. For example, when the scanning bed 20 moves from the outside to the gantry aperture of the CT device, the required length of the infusion catheter 10 is reduced, and the infusion clip 2 may be driven by the stepper motor 3 to descend along the arc-shaped guiding rail 12, so as to reduce a distance between the patient's infusion site and the infusion clip 2. As shown in
?1=|?{square root over (R.sup.2+L.sub.1.sup.2)}??{square root over (R.sup.2+L.sub.2.sup.2)}|(1)
[0072] In the formula (1), ?1 is the releasing or retracting length of the infusion catheter 10. R is a radius of the arc-shaped guiding rail 12. L.sub.1 is a distance between the patient's infusion site at an initial position and the center of the gantry aperture of the CT gantry 1, which may be monitored by a monitoring member. L.sub.2 is a real-time distance between a position of the patient's infusion site moving with the scanning bed 20 and the center of the gantry aperture of the CT gantry 1, which may be also monitored by the monitoring member. H.sub.1 is a distance between the patient's infusion site at the initial position and the infusion clip 2, and is a real-time distance between the position of the patient's infusion site moving with the scanning bed 20 and the infusion clip 2. The difference between and is equal to the releasing or retracting length of the infusion catheter 10.
[0073] According to the following formula (2), the moving angle ? of the infusion clip 2 moving along the guiding rail 12 relative to the center of the gantry aperture of the CT gantry 1 can be calculated.
?=180*?1/(?*R) (2)
[0074] As shown in
[0075] Referring to
[0076] Specifically, the rotating wheel 7 is provided between the infusion clip 2 and the stepper motor 3 and is located in the guiding rail 12. The output shaft of the stepper motor 3 is detachably connected to the rotating wheel 7. When the stepper motor 3 drives the infusion clip 2 to move, the output shaft of the stepper motor 3 is disengaged from the rotating wheel 7, so that the rotating wheel 7 moves along the guiding rail 12 without rotation. When the infusion clip 2 is located at the end of the guiding rail 12, the output shaft of the stepper motor 3 is engaged with the rotating wheel 7, so as to drive the rotating wheel 7 to rotate, so that the infusion catheter 10 is wound around the outer periphery of the rotating wheel 7 or the infusion catheter 10 wound around the rotating wheel 7 is released through the rotating wheel 7. In an embodiment, an outer periphery of the middle portion of the rotating wheel 7 is recessed. Referring to
[0077] In an embodiment, the output shaft of the stepper motor 3 includes a first shaft away from a motor body of the stepper motor 3 and a second shaft smoothly connected to the first shaft. A diameter of the second shaft is greater than a diameter of the first shaft, and a size of a hole of the rotating wheel 7 corresponds to the diameter of the second shaft. When the infusion clip 2 is not located at the end of the guiding rail 12, the rotating wheel 7 is sleeve on the first shaft, and when the infusion clip 2 moves along the guiding rail 12, the rotating wheel 7 also moves along the guiding rail 12 without rotating. When the infusion clip 2 is located at the end of the guiding rail 12, the second shaft of the stepper motor 3 is inserted into the rotating wheel 7 to drive the rotating wheel 7 to rotate, so that the infusion catheter 10 is wound around the outer periphery of the rotating wheel 7 or the infusion catheter 10 wound around the rotating wheel 7 is released through the rotating wheel 7. Thereby the retraction and the release of the relatively long infusion catheter 10 is achieved.
[0078] When the infusion clip 2 moves to the end of the guiding rail 12 far away from the infusion bag, the retracting length of the infusion catheter 10 is the maximum, at this time, the retracting length of the infusion catheter 10 L.sub.end is calculated according to the formula (3)
L.sub.end=?R?.sub.max/180 (3)
[0079] In the formula (3), ?.sub.max is an angle between a straight line connecting the infusion bag 11 to the center of the gantry aperture of the CT gantry 1 and a straight line connecting the end of the guiding rail 12 to the center of the gantry aperture of the CT gantry 1.
[0080] According to a change trend between the moving distance of the bed and the retracting length of the infusion catheter 10, when the portion of the infusion catheter 10 on patient's injection site is directly below the infusion bag 11, that is, directly below the hook 11, the retracting length of the infusion catheter 10 is the maximum. The retracting length of the infusion catheter 10 is defined as L.sub.max.
[0081] In order to enable the CT device to automatically retract the infusion catheter 10 when the retracting length L.sub.max is greater than the retracting length L.sub.edge, the controller is further configured to control the stepper motor to drive the rotating wheel 7 to rotate when the infusion clip 2 moves to the end of the guiding rail, so that more parts of the infusion catheter 10 are wound around the outer periphery of the rotating wheel 7 or more parts of the infusion catheter 10 wound around the outer periphery of the rotating wheel 7 are released. Thereby the retraction and the release of the relatively long infusion catheter 10 is achieved.
[0082] When the infusion clip 2 is located at the end of the guiding rail 12, the length L.sub.2end between the patient's infusion site and the center of the CT gantry 1 is calculated according to the formula (4).
[0083] Since the rotating wheel 7 rotate only when the transfusion clip 2 is located at the end of the guiding rail 12, L.sub.2 in the formula (4) is equivalent to a distance between the patient's infusion site at an initial position and the center of the gantry aperture of the CT gantry 1 during the rotation of the rotating wheel 7. Thus, similar to the formula (1), the controller is further configured to calculate the retracting or releasing length of the infusion catheter 10 realized by the rotation of the rotating wheel 7 according to the following formula (5).
?1r=|?{square root over (R.sup.2+L.sub.2end.sup.2)}??{square root over (R.sup.2+L.sub.2.sup.2)}|(5)
[0084] The controller is further configured to calculate a rotation angle ?.sub.r that the rotating wheel 7 needs to rotate according to the following formula (6).
?.sub.r=180?1r/(?R.sub.wheel) (6)
[0085] In the formula (6), R.sub.wheel is a radius of the rotating wheel 7.
[0086] The controller is further configured to control the stepper motor to rotate a number of revolutions corresponding to the rotation angle ?.sub.r that the rotating wheel 7 needs to rotate when the infusion clip is located at the end of the guiding rail 12, and then further dynamically retract or release the infusion catheter 10 to achieve automatic adjustment of the infusion catheter 10.
[0087] As shown in
[0090] The method for controlling the CT device further includes the following steps. [0091] Step S13, the controller controls the driver 3 to drive the rotating wheel 7 to rotate reversely, thereby releasing the infusion catheter 10. [0092] Step S14, when the length of the infusion catheter 10 wound around the rotating wheel 7 is a preset length, the controller controls the driver 3 to drive the infusion clip 2 to move along the guiding rail 12 away from the end of the guiding rail 12.
[0093] The foregoing descriptions are merely specific embodiments of the present disclosure, but are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. Any variation or replacement readily figured out by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present disclosure shall all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
