For example, the radiation generating mechanism 110 and the angular velocity detecting mechanism 130 may be disposed at the same position. The initial position refers to the position of the rotation mechanism 120 before the rotation mechanism 110 is rotated, the current position refers to the position of the rotation mechanism 120 at the current time, and the current angle is the value of the angle to the current position of the rotation mechanism 120.
In this embodiment, the radiotherapy apparatus 100 further comprises a control mechanism 140 and a drive mechanism; the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 is connected to the control mechanism 140, and is configured to send the detected angular velocity of the rotating mechanism 120 to the control mechanism 140; the control mechanism 140 is connected to the driving mechanism, and is configured to calculate a current angle according to the angular velocity, generate a first driving signal according to the current angle, and transmit the first driving signal to the driving mechanism; the driving mechanism is connected to the rotating mechanism 120 for controlling the rotating mechanism 120 according to the first driving signal.
In the present embodiment, after the angular velocity of the rotating mechanism 120 is detected, the current angle at the current position may be calculated from the initial angle at the initial position and the angular velocity. In this embodiment, the angular velocity detection means 130 is configured to detect the angular velocity once every unit time, and the control means 140 is configured to integrate the angular velocity for unit time to obtain a unit angle, and to accumulate all the unit angles in the movement time to obtain the rotation angle. The interval time can be set according to actual requirements, and the smaller the interval time is, the higher the position precision is, but the data volume and the calculated amount are too large; the interval time may also be zero. The interval time is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the application, and is set according to actual use requirements.
In order to improve the calculation accuracy of the rotation angle, the rotation angle is calculated in an integral mode, so that the rotation angle error caused by the angular speed detection error can be reduced.
Of course, in addition to this, the average angular velocity during the exercise time may be obtained, and the rotation angle may be obtained by calculating the product of the average angular velocity and the exercise time.
Under the condition that the current angle is not equal to the target angle, it indicates that the rotating mechanism 120 has not moved to the target angle, and the position of the rotating mechanism 120 needs to be further adjusted, so that a first driving signal is generated, and the driving mechanism drives the rotating mechanism 120 to rotate, so as to drive the rotating mechanism 120 to continue rotating.
The target angle represents an angle when the rotating mechanism 120 rotates to the target position, and when the rotating mechanism 120 rotates to the target position, it represents that the rotating mechanism 120 has moved to a position that needs to be stopped, that is, to reach the position to be treated of the patient.
It is easy to understand that the first driving signal refers to a signal for controlling the rotation of the rotating mechanism 120, and the first driving signal may include an angular velocity for controlling the rotation of the rotating mechanism 120 and may also include a rotation direction of the rotating mechanism 120.
In this embodiment, the control mechanism 140 is further configured to generate a second driving signal when the current angle is equal to the target angle; to control the rotation mechanism 120 to stop moving by the second driving signal.
In this embodiment, if the current angle is equal to the target angle, it is stated that the rotating mechanism 120 drives the radiation generating mechanism 110 to move to the position to be stopped, i.e. the position to be treated of the patient, at this time, the control mechanism 140 generates the second driving signal, so as to control the rotating mechanism 120 to stop moving.
It is easily understood that the second driving signal is a signal for controlling the rotation mechanism 120 to stop rotating.
In this embodiment, the control mechanism 140 is further configured to obtain an initial angle of the ray generation mechanism 110 and a movement time from the initial angle to a current angle, calculate a rotation angle from the initial angle to the current angle of the ray generation mechanism 110 according to the angular velocity and the movement time, and obtain the current angle according to the initial angle and the rotation angle.
In the present embodiment, after the angular velocity of the rotating mechanism 120 is detected, the current angle at the current position may be calculated from the initial angle at the initial position, the movement time from the initial position to the current position, and the angular velocity. For example, the rotation angle may be obtained by integrating the angular velocity; the rotation angle can also be obtained by calculating the average speed and multiplying the average speed by the movement time. And finally, summing the rotation angle and the initial angle to obtain the current angle. The movement time refers to a rotation time from an initial position to a current position, and the initial angle refers to an angle value of the radiation generating mechanism 110 at the initial position.
In this embodiment, the angular velocity detection means 130 is configured to detect the angular velocity once every unit time, and the control means 140 is configured to integrate the angular velocity for unit time to obtain a unit angle, and to accumulate all the unit angles in the movement time to obtain the rotation angle. The interval time can be set according to actual requirements, and the smaller the interval time is, the higher the position precision is, but the data volume and the calculated amount are too large; the interval time may also be zero. The interval time is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the application, and is set according to actual use requirements.
In order to improve the calculation accuracy of the rotation angle, the rotation angle is calculated in an integral mode, so that the rotation angle error caused by the angular speed detection error can be reduced.
In addition, the average angular velocity during the movement time may be obtained, and the product of the average angular velocity and the movement time may be calculated to obtain the rotation angle.
In this embodiment, the radiotherapy apparatus 100 further comprises a first acceleration detection mechanism 150, the first acceleration detection mechanism 150 being mounted on the rotation mechanism 120; the acceleration detection mechanism is configured to detect an acceleration of the rotating mechanism 120 and transmit the acceleration to the control mechanism 140, so that the control mechanism 140 calculates vibration data of the rotating mechanism 120 according to the acceleration detection mechanism.
The first acceleration detection mechanism 150 is mainly used for detecting linear velocity, and during the rotation of the rotating mechanism 120, a swing in an unexpected motion direction may be generated, and the first acceleration detection mechanism 150 is mainly used for detecting motion data in a non-rotation direction, for example, for detecting an abrupt axial translation or vibration of the rotating mechanism 120.
In the present embodiment, the first acceleration detection mechanism 150 is configured to acquire the acceleration of the rotating mechanism 120 at set intervals, thereby acquiring the vibration data.
In order to detect the vibration data of the plurality of rotating mechanisms 120, the acceleration of the rotating mechanisms 120 is acquired once at every set time interval, and the acceleration of the plurality of rotating mechanisms 120 is filtered to form the vibration data. In this embodiment, if there may be an error in the accelerations of the plurality of rotating mechanisms 120, the accelerations of the plurality of rotating mechanisms 120 are filtered by using a median filtering method to obtain vibration data.
The setting time is generally small, the setting time is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the application, and the setting value can be set according to actual requirements. For example, it may be set to 0.2 s.
In this embodiment, the control unit 140 is further configured to obtain the acceleration detected by the first acceleration detection unit 150 at a set time interval, to perform filtering processing on the multiple accelerations to obtain vibration data, and to send a first alarm signal if the vibration data is not in the qualified interval.
In this embodiment, the qualified interval is a stable movement range of the rotating mechanism 120 during the rotation process, and the vibration data is in the qualified interval, which indicates that the radiation generating mechanism 110 on the rotating mechanism 120 can work normally, thereby ensuring the treatment effect. If the vibration data are not in the qualified interval, it is indicated that the rotating mechanism 120 may have a large axial translation, and the radiotherapy apparatus 100 may have a fault, a first alarm signal is sent to remind the user to check in time.
In this embodiment, the control mechanism 140 is further configured to send a second alarm signal when the current angle is greater than the target angle.
In this embodiment, if the current angle is greater than the target angle, it indicates that the rotating mechanism 120 has crossed the position that needs to be stopped, and if the rotating mechanism 120 rotates excessively, a second alarm signal is sent to remind the rotating mechanism 120 of rotating excessively, which is convenient for the user or the control mechanism 140 to stop the radiotherapy apparatus 100 in time.
In the present embodiment, the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 includes a gyroscope and/or a grating scale. In other words, the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 may include any one of a gyroscope and a grating scale, and may also include a gyroscope and a grating scale. The angle detection accuracy can be further improved through the redundancy design.
A gyroscope is an angular motion detection device using the moment of momentum sensitive housing of a high speed solid of revolution about one or two axes orthogonal to the axis of rotation relative to the inertial space. Angular motion detection devices made using other principles are also known as gyroscopes, which serve the same function.
The gyroscope can sense the rotation angular velocity of one axis or multiple axes, and can accurately sense complex movement action in free space, so the gyroscope becomes a necessary motion sensor for tracking the movement direction and rotation action of an object. When the attitude of the turning mechanism 120 is rotated by the angle by which the turning mechanism 120 is rotated, that is, the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 itself, the overall attitude of the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 is also changed from the flat position to the upright position.
In the present embodiment, the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 and the first acceleration detection mechanism 150 are integrally designed.
The angular velocity detection mechanism 130 may be a three-axis gyroscope; the first acceleration detection mechanism 150 may be a three-axis accelerometer. The integration design of the first acceleration detection mechanism 150 and the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 enables the same structure to complete the detection of angular velocity and linear acceleration, which is fast and convenient.
In this embodiment, the radiotherapy apparatus 100 further comprises a second acceleration detection mechanism 160 and a treatment couch 170;
the treatment couch 170 is used for carrying the object to be treated so that the radiation generated by the radiation generating mechanism 110 irradiates the object to be treated from a plurality of angles;
the second acceleration detection mechanism 160 is arranged on the treatment couch 170, connected with the control mechanism 140, and used for detecting the linear acceleration of the treatment couch 170 and sending the linear acceleration to the control mechanism 140; so that the control means 140 calculates the current position of the couch 170 based on the linear acceleration detection means.
The second acceleration detection mechanism 160 is installed on the treatment couch 170, and the movement displacement of the treatment couch 170 can be detected by the second acceleration detection mechanism 160, so that the target displacement of the current position of the treatment couch 170 can be calculated.
Similarly, the starting position refers to the position of the couch 170 before being moved, the current position refers to the current position of the couch 170, and the target displacement refers to the displacement value of the couch 170 at the current position.
In this embodiment, the control mechanism 140 is electrically connected to the second acceleration detection mechanism 160, and is configured to receive the linear acceleration, obtain the initial displacement of the treatment couch 170 at the start position and the treatment couch moving time when the treatment couch 170 moves from the start position to the current position, calculate the linear displacement of the treatment couch 170 moving from the start position to the current position according to the linear acceleration and the treatment couch moving time, and calculate the sum of the initial displacement and the linear displacement to obtain the target displacement.
The couch movement time is a movement time of the couch 170 from the start position to the current position, and the initial displacement is a displacement of the couch 170 at the start position.
In this embodiment, when the treatment couch 170 starts to move, the movement time of the treatment couch 170 is counted to obtain the movement time of the treatment couch, the linear displacement of the treatment couch 170 in the movement time of the treatment couch can be obtained through the linear acceleration and the movement time of the treatment couch, and then the sum of the initial displacement and the linear displacement is calculated to obtain the target displacement.
In the present embodiment, the second acceleration detection mechanism 160 is configured to detect linear acceleration once every preset time interval; the control mechanism 140 is used for integrating the linear acceleration for a preset time to obtain a unit displacement, and accumulating all the unit displacements within the motion time of the treatment couch to obtain a linear displacement.
In the present embodiment, in order to improve the calculation accuracy of the linear displacement, the error of the linear displacement caused by the linear acceleration detection error can be reduced by calculating the linear displacement in an integral manner.
It will be readily appreciated that instead of by means of integration, an average linear acceleration may be obtained, the linear displacement being calculated from the average linear acceleration and the couch movement time.
The operation principle of the radiotherapy apparatus 100 provided in this embodiment is as follows: in the present embodiment, the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 is mounted on the rotation mechanism 120 to acquire the angular velocity at which the radiation generation mechanism 110 rotates, and calculates the current angle at which the radiation generation mechanism 110 rotates to the current position by the control mechanism 140. Similarly, the linear acceleration of the treatment couch 170 is acquired by the second acceleration detection unit 160, and the target displacement of the treatment couch 170 at the current position is calculated by the linear acceleration detection unit.
In summary, in the radiotherapy apparatus 100 provided in this embodiment, the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 directly detects the angular velocity of the rotation mechanism 120, so as to calculate the current angle of the radiation generating mechanism 110, the operation of this method is simple, and only the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 is used, which reduces the cost of the radiotherapy apparatus 100, and meanwhile, the angular velocity detection mechanism 130 is used to detect the current angle, which can improve the measurement precision, and reduce the injury to the user due to inaccurate angle detection.
