The terms "connected" or "connected," and the like, are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
The radiotherapy apparatus generally comprises a frame and a source mechanism arranged on the frame, wherein an active box is arranged in the source mechanism, and a radioactive source is arranged in the active box. The radiotherapy equipment mainly focuses the rays generated by a radioactive source on a lesion area to cause focal necrosis or functional change of the lesion area so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases.
In conventional radiotherapy equipment, a radiation source mechanism is fixed on a stand, and rays generated by the radiation source mechanism can only be focused on a certain fixed focus, so that the treatment range is small. For the above reasons, radiotherapy apparatuses are generally classified into two types according to the treatment region: a head radiotherapy apparatus for head region treatment, and a body radiotherapy apparatus for other region treatment than the head. In the head radiotherapy equipment, the source mechanism is vertically arranged on the stand, and the direction of the beam emitted by the source mechanism is the horizontal direction at the moment; in the body radiotherapy equipment, a source mechanism is horizontally arranged on a rack, and the direction of a beam emitted by the source mechanism is a vertical direction.
At present, because the treatment scope of the existing radiotherapy equipment is limited, one radiotherapy equipment can only be used for treating cancers in a certain area, and the treatment of cancers in a head area and cancers in a body area can not be simultaneously considered, so that the head radiotherapy equipment and the body radiotherapy equipment are required to be purchased simultaneously for meeting more treatment requirements, and the cost is high.
The radiotherapy system provided by the embodiment of the application can enable the source mechanism to be switched between different working positions, and the treatment range of the radiotherapy system is enlarged. By way of example, the switching mechanism may cause the source mechanism to flip between 0 ° -90 °. It will be appreciated that the source mechanism can be used to treat the body in the range of 0 ° -90 °; also, the source mechanism can be used to treat the head in the range of 0 ° -90 °. When the source mechanism is positioned at the horizontal position, namely the source mechanism can treat the body region at the 0-degree position, the source mechanism is positioned at the body treatment working position; when the source mechanism turns over, namely the turning angle is larger than 0 DEG, the treatment of the head area can be carried out, and the source mechanism is positioned at the head treatment working position. Preferably, in order to obtain a better therapeutic effect, the position of the source mechanism when the turnover angle of the source mechanism is 54.5 degrees can be used as a head treatment working position, and at this time, the rays generated by the source mechanism can be better focused on the diseased region of the head.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a radiotherapy system according to an embodiment of the present application. The radiotherapy system comprises: a conversion mechanism, a frame 1 and a source mechanism 2; the conversion mechanism sets up in the frame, and conversion mechanism includes: a driving mechanism 3 and a transmission mechanism 4; the transmission mechanism 4 is connected with the source mechanism 2 so as to drive the source mechanism 2 to switch between different working positions under the drive of the driving mechanism 3, wherein the beam directions of the beams emitted by the source mechanism 2 at the different working positions are different.
By way of example, the operating positions of the source mechanism 2 may include: a body treatment work position and a head treatment work position. The beam direction is also different when the source mechanism 2 is in different operating positions. The beam direction is the center line of the focused beam formed by the plurality of radiation sources in the source mechanism 2, which is directed away from the source mechanism. For example, when the source device 2 is in the 0 ° position, the beam direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane; the beam direction is parallel to the horizontal plane when the source device 2 is in the 90 position; when the source device 2 is at the 54.5 DEG position, the beam direction forms an angle of 54.5 DEG with the horizontal plane. Illustratively, the body treatment station is the 0 ° position of the source device 2; the head treatment work position is the 54.5 DEG position of the source device 2.
In the embodiment of the present application, the stand 1 may be a support frame with any shape that can support the source mechanism 2 for overturning. By way of example, the frame 1 may be composed of a plurality of components. For example: the frame 1 may be composed of 4 support columns, and 2 beams. Specifically, 4 support posts can be fixed in the computer lab ground of installation radiotherapy system, and the line of 4 fixed points forms the rectangle, and the crossbeam setting is between the support post, and 2 crossbeams are parallel to each other.
The support column can be a column body with any shape, and can be a groove-shaped column body formed by welding metal plates; the solid upright post can also be integrally formed, for example: an integrally formed solid upright post with a rectangular cross section, or an integrally formed solid upright post with a circular cross section, and the like. In the embodiment of the present application, the material of the frame 1 is not limited, and in order to improve the supporting strength of the frame 1, it is preferable to use a common metal material such as steel, pig iron, iron alloy, cast iron, etc.
By way of example, the conversion mechanism includes: a driving mechanism 3 and a transmission mechanism 4; the transmission mechanism 4 is respectively connected with the driving mechanism 3 and the source mechanism 2. The driving mechanism drives the source mechanism to switch between different working positions. The conversion mechanism is fixed on a beam of the frame. By way of example, the driving mechanism 3 may be any component capable of providing power (driving torque) to the transmission mechanism 4, and the specific form of the driving mechanism 3 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The transmission mechanism 4 in the embodiment of the present application is a mechanism for transmitting the power (driving torque) provided by the driving mechanism 3 to the source mechanism 2 to turn over the source mechanism 2 and thereby switch between different working positions. The specific form of the transmission mechanism 4 is not limited. For example, the transmission mechanism 4 may be one of a slide transmission mechanism, a link transmission mechanism, a belt mechanism, and the like. By way of example, the transmission mechanism 4 may be a multi-stage transmission mechanism, wherein each stage of transmission mechanism may be one of a slide transmission mechanism, a link transmission mechanism, a belt mechanism, and the like. That is, the transmission mechanism 4 may be a combination of the above-described various transmission mechanisms.
In one embodiment, the source mechanism is disposed on the frame, the driving mechanism is fixed on the frame, and the transmission mechanism is connected with the driving mechanism and the source mechanism respectively.
By way of example, the source mechanism 2 may be arranged between two beams of the gantry 1 and flipped with respect to the beams, and the rotation axis of the source mechanism 2 may be perpendicular to the above-mentioned 2 beams. The source mechanism 2 may be flipped around its rotational axis to both sides, to the left as shown in fig. 1, or to the right. Switching between the different operating positions is performed by flipping. Because the directions of the beams emitted by the source mechanism 2 are different when the device is in different working positions, the rays generated by the source mechanism 2 can be focused at different focuses according to actual needs to treat diseases.
In one embodiment, the source mechanism is disposed on the conversion mechanism.
The switching mechanism is, for example, arranged on the machine frame, i.e. the drive mechanism 3 and the transmission mechanism 4 are arranged on the machine frame. The source mechanism 2 is fixedly arranged on the conversion mechanism and is fixed with the frame 1 through the conversion mechanism. For example, the two beams may each be provided with a conversion mechanism, and the source mechanism 2 may be disposed between the conversion mechanisms on the two beams. The switching mechanism may drive the source mechanism 2 to flip over to switch between different operating positions.
In one embodiment, the source mechanism may be translatable and/or liftable on the gantry.

By means of translation and/or lifting of the source mechanism, the generated rays can be focused on the same focus when the source mechanism is in different working positions.

The specific form of the primary transmission assembly and the secondary transmission assembly is not limited. In one embodiment, the primary transmission assembly may be any one of a sliding transmission mechanism, a connecting rod transmission mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, a transmission belt mechanism, etc.; similarly, the secondary transmission assembly may be any one of a slide transmission mechanism, a link transmission mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, and the like. Wherein, the slip drive mechanism specifically can be: the mechanism consists of a sliding block and a sliding rail, and the sliding block moves along the sliding rail to transmit power; the connecting rod transmission mechanism can be specifically as follows: a mechanism formed by connecting 1 or more connecting rods through a revolute pair; the gear transmission mechanism can be specifically: a gear train formed by meshing a plurality of gears, wherein power is transmitted through meshing between the gears; the transmission belt mechanism can be specifically: chain drive, belt drive, etc.

In the embodiment of the present application, the specific shape of the sliding rail 41 is not limited, for example: the track may be circular in cross section, square in cross section, irregular in cross section, or the like. The slider 42 may be a sleeve having an arbitrary shape provided on the slide rail 41 and movable along the slider 42.
For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the materials of the sliding rail 41 and the sliding block 42 are not limited, and may be determined according to actual needs.
Referring to fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present application, the working position switching manner of the source mechanism 2 may be divided into the following three cases: first, the source mechanism 2 can only be turned to the left to switch from the body treatment position to the head treatment position; second kind: the source mechanism 2 can only turn right to switch from the body treatment working position to the head treatment working position; third, the source mechanism 2 can be turned over to the left or right to switch from the body treatment position to the head treatment position.
For the first case described above: the source mechanism 2 can only be turned left to switch from the body treatment position to the head treatment position, when the source mechanism 2 is in the horizontal position, the slide 42 is located at the rightmost end of the slide rail 41, and then, as the slide 42 moves leftwards along the slide rail 41, the slide 42 can drive the secondary transmission assembly, and the secondary transmission assembly drives the source mechanism 2 to turn left around the rotation axis thereof, so as to switch from the body treatment position to the head treatment position.

For example, for the case that the source mechanism 2 can only be turned to one side (left side or right side) to switch the working position, in the process of turning the source mechanism 2 from the horizontal position to the vertical position, the slide block 42 drives the connecting rod 43, and the connecting rod 43 pushes the source mechanism 2 to achieve turning of the source mechanism 2, so that the source mechanism 2 is switched from the body treatment working position to the head treatment working position; in the process of turning the source mechanism 2 from the vertical position to the horizontal position, the slide block 42 drives the connecting rod 43, and the connecting rod 43 pulls the source mechanism 2 to achieve turning of the source mechanism 2, so that the source mechanism 2 is switched back from the head treatment working position to the body treatment working position.

The link 43 in the embodiment of the present application may be a rod having an arbitrary shape in cross section, for example: the cross-section may be rectangular, trapezoidal, square, circular, etc.
Because the size and the quality of the source mechanism 2 are both larger, in order to avoid the jamming of the source mechanism 2 in the overturning process, and ensure that the overturning of the source mechanism 2 is smoother, referring to fig. 1, in one embodiment, the transmission mechanism 4 including the primary transmission assembly and the secondary transmission assembly may be disposed on two opposite beams of the frame 1.

The specific form of the secondary transmission assembly is not limited, and for example, the secondary transmission assembly may be a gear transmission assembly, a chain transmission assembly, or the like.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the manner of switching the working position of the source mechanism 2 can be divided into the following three cases: first, the source mechanism 2 can only be turned to the left to switch from the body treatment position to the head treatment position; second kind: the source mechanism 2 can only turn right to switch from the body treatment working position to the head treatment working position; third, the source mechanism 2 can be turned over to the left or right to switch from the body treatment position to the head treatment position.

In one embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 may include: and the motor is fixed on the cross beam of the frame 1.
In the embodiment of the application, for parameters of the motor, for example: the type, output torque, output rotation speed and the like of the motor are not limited, and can be selected according to actual needs.
In further embodiments, the driving mechanism 3 may further include: a speed reducer; the input shaft of the speed reducer is connected with the output shaft of the motor, and the speed reducer drives the transmission mechanism 4 so that the transmission mechanism 4 drives the source mechanism 2 to switch between different working positions.
Illustratively, the motor is configured to generate a drive torque to power (drive torque) the inversion of the source mechanism 2; the speed reducer transmits the driving torque generated by the motor to the transmission mechanism 4, and at the same time, reduces the rotational speed output to the transmission mechanism 4.
In the embodiment of the present application, the type of the speed reducer is not limited, for example: a worm gear reducer, a gear reducer, or the like may be selectively used. The worm and gear speed reducer has the advantages that: the self-locking mechanism has a reverse self-locking function and a large reduction ratio, but also has the following disadvantages: the volume is bigger, the transmission efficiency is not high, and the precision is not high. The gear reduction machine has the advantages of small volume, large transmission torque, high transmission efficiency, low energy consumption and the like. Therefore, a suitable type of decelerator can be selected according to actual needs.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, for parameters of the speed reducer, for example: the reduction ratio, the transmission torque and the like are not limited, and can be selected according to actual needs.
In one embodiment, the radiotherapy system further comprises a position detection mechanism; the position detection mechanism is used for detecting the position of the source mechanism.
For example, the position detection mechanism detects the rotational position of the source mechanism 2 in real time when the source mechanism 2 is switched between different operating positions, i.e. when the source mechanism 2 is flipped. For example, the position detection mechanism may be one of an encoder, a grating scale, and a detection switch. Illustratively, the encoder and the grating scale are capable of detecting the flip angle of the source mechanism 2 in real time. For example, when the source mechanism 2 is flipped to 20 °, the output of the encoder or grating scale may be the corresponding distance of movement or flip angle. The position detecting means may be, for example, a detecting switch provided on the housing 1, and a switch plunger provided on the source mechanism 2. When the source mechanism 2 is turned to the specified position, the switch bump on the source mechanism 2 touches the detection switch on the frame 1 to trigger the detection switch, and the source mechanism 2 reaches the specified position. For example, the designated position is a position of the source mechanism 2 at 54.5 °, at this time, a detection switch is provided on the chassis 1 corresponding to the position of the source mechanism 2 turned 54.5 °, when the source mechanism 2 is turned to 54.5 °, the switch bump on the source mechanism 2 triggers the detection switch, and when the detection switch is triggered, the source mechanism 2 is turned to the designated position. The position detection mechanism is arranged, so that the overturning angle of the source mechanism 2 is more accurate.
In one embodiment, the radiotherapy system further comprises a locking mechanism; when the position detection mechanism detects that the source mechanism is switched to a designated position, a locking instruction is sent to the locking mechanism; the locking mechanism locks the source mechanism to a designated position according to the locking instruction.
For example, when the source mechanism 2 is turned to the specified position, the source mechanism 2 is locked to the specified position by the locking device, so that the source mechanism 2 is more stable when operating at the specified position. The locking mechanism can be a speed reducer in the driving mechanism, and the locking mechanism can also be any device capable of fixing the position. The position detection mechanism is an encoder or a grating ruler, the encoder or the grating ruler detects the overturning angle of the source mechanism 2 in real time in the overturning process of the source mechanism 2, and when the source mechanism 2 is detected to be overturned to 54.5 degrees, the encoder or the grating ruler sends a locking instruction to the speed reducer; or the encoder or the grating ruler sends an in-place instruction to the controller, and the controller sends a locking instruction to the speed reducer after receiving the in-place instruction; the decelerator locks the source mechanism 2 to the 54.5 deg. position after receiving the locking command. The position detection mechanism is exemplified by a detection switch provided on the chassis and a switch plunger provided on the source mechanism 2. When the source mechanism 2 is turned to a 54.5 DEG position, a switch collision block on the source mechanism 2 triggers a detection switch on the frame 1, and a locking instruction is sent to a speed reducer after the detection switch is triggered; or after the detection switch is triggered, a locking instruction is sent to the speed reducer by the controller after the controller receives the in-place instruction; the decelerator locks the source mechanism 2 to the 54.5 deg. position after receiving the locking command.
