  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth by way of examples in order to provide a thorough understanding of the relevant disclosure. However, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without such details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, systems, components, and/or circuitry have been described at a relatively high level, without detail, in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the present disclosure. Various modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Thus, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments shown, but to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the claims.
  • The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a, ” “an, ” and “the” may be intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprise, ” “comprises, ” and/or “comprising, ” “include, ” “includes, ” and/or “including, ” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
  • According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a motion platform is provided. The motion platform may be used to solve the problem of low motion accuracy of current motion platforms. The motion platform may include a moveable plate, a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism, and a fulcrum mechanism. In the motion platform provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, at least three non-collinear support points may be disposed on a bottom surface of the movable plate. Each of the fulcrum mechanism, the first driving mechanism, and the second driving mechanism may be disposed on one support point, and connected to the movable plate. When the first driving mechanism or the second driving mechanism independently drives a corresponding support point to move, the movable plate may be tilted. Since the fulcrum mechanism provides a rotational degree of freedom for the movable plate along a tilt direction of the movable plate, the motion accuracy of the motion platform may be improved.
  • FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary motion platform according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 1B is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary motion platform according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
  • As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, a moving platform may include a movable plate 100, a base plate 300, a fulcrum mechanism 400, and at least two driving mechanisms (e.g., a first driving mechanism 210 and a second driving mechanism 220) . The fulcrum mechanism 400 may be disposed on the base plate 300, and the at least two driving mechanisms may be further disposed on the base plate 300. A bottom surface of the movable plate 100 may include at least three non-collinear support points. One of the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the at least two driving mechanisms may be located on one of the support points and connected to the movable plate 100. When one or more of the at least two driving mechanisms drive one or more of corresponding support points to move independently or jointly, the movable plate 100 may be tilted, and the fulcrum mechanism 400 may provide a rotational degree of freedom for the movable plate 100 along a tilt direction of the movable plate 100. In some embodiments, the tilt direction of the movable plate 100 may include a direction around an X-axis and/or a direction around a Y-axis. In some embodiments, the  fulcrum mechanism 400 may provide the rotational degree of freedom for the movable plate 100 only along the tilt direction of the movable plate 100.
  • In some embodiments, the motion platform may include no base plate 300. That is, the motion platform may include the movable plate 100, the fulcrum mechanism 400, and the at least two driving mechanisms (e.g., the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220) . The bottom surface of the movable plate 100 may include the at least three non-collinear support points. One of the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the at least two driving mechanisms may be located on one of the support points and connected to the movable plate 100. The at least two driving mechanisms may drive the movable plate 100 to rotate. In some embodiments, the motion platform (e.g., the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the at least two driving mechanisms) may be directly disposed on a structure, for example, an operation table, a gantry of a hospital bed, etc. In some embodiments, the motion platform (e.g., the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the at least two driving mechanisms) may be disposed on the base plate 300. The base plate 300 may be disposed on the structure, for example, the operation table, the gantry of the hospital bed, etc.
  • FIG. 2A is a front view illustrating a first state of a motion platform according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2B is a side view illustrating a first state of a motion platform according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2C is a vertical view illustrating a first state of a motion platform according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2D is a section view illustrating a power conversion unit along an A-A axis in FIG. 2A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. A first state of a motion platform may refer to a state in which the motion plate 100 is at a starting position. For example, the first state may be a state in which the motion plate 100 remains horizontal.
  • As shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, in some embodiments, the movable platform may include two driving mechanisms (i.e., the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220) . The first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 may be configured to drive the movable plate 100 to rotate around the fulcrum mechanism 400. In some embodiments, coordinates of a support point corresponding to the first driving mechanism 210 at an X-axis and a Z-axis may be  the same as coordinates of a support point corresponding to the second driving mechanism 220 on the X-axis and the Z-axis, respectively.
  • In some embodiments, the movable plate 100 (e.g., a bottom surface of the movable plate 100) may include three non-collinear support points, for example, a first support point 510, a second support point 520, and a third support point 530. In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 may be connected to the movable plate 100 at the first support point 510 and the second support point 520, respectively. The fulcrum mechanism 400 may be connected to the movable plate 100 at the third support point 530. In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 may cause the movable plate 100 to move in at least two degrees of freedom relative to the third support point 530. In some embodiments, the degrees of freedom of the movable plate 100 relative to the third support point 530 may include a rotational degree of freedom around the X-axis, a rotational degree of freedom around the Y-axis, or the like, or any combination thereof.
  • In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism 210 may be configured to drive the first support point 510 to move so as to drive the movable plate 100 to move. The second driving mechanism 220 may drive the second support point 520 to move so as to drive the movable plate 100 to move. The fulcrum mechanism 400 may be configured to provide a rotational degree of freedom centered on the third support point 530 for the movable plate 100.
  • In some embodiments, the first support point 510, the second support point 520, and the third support point 530 may form an arbitrary triangle. In some embodiments, a ratio of a distance from the first support point to the third support point and a distance from the second support point to the third support point may be within a range of 0.9 to 1.1. For example, the ratio of the distance from the first support point to the third support point and the distance from the second support point to the third support point may include, but not be limited to, 0.9, 0.95, 0.98, 1, 1.02, 1.05, 1.1, etc.
  • In some embodiments, the first support point 510, the second support point 520, and the third support point 530 may form an isosceles triangle. A distance from the third support point to the first support point may be the same as a distance from the  third support point to the second support point so as to construct two equal sides in the isosceles triangle. By regularly (or approximately regularly) disposing the first support point 510, the second support point 520, and the third support point 530, the movable plate 100 may be caused to rotate to an appropriate tilt angle efficiently. For example, when the first support point 510, the second support point 520, and the third support point 530 form an isosceles triangle, in order to cause the movable plate 100 to rotate merely along the Y-axis, the first support point 510 and the second support point 520 may be caused to move a same distance.
  • In some embodiments, the first support point 510, the second support point 520, and the third support point 530 may form an equilateral triangle. An arrangement of the equilateral triangle may cause the movable plate 100 to move to an appropriate tilt angle efficiently.
  • In some embodiments, the first support point 510 and the second support point 520 may be close to one side of the movable plate 100, and the third support point 530 may be close to another side of the movable plate 100. The another side may be opposite to the one side. In other words, the support points (i.e., the first support point 510 and the second support point 520) corresponding to the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 may be disposed on one side of the movable plate 100, respectively, and the third support point 530 corresponding to the fulcrum mechanism 400 may be disposed on the another side of the movable plate 100. Through the arrangement, a distance between the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the driving mechanism may be increased. In addition, a driving force provided by the first driving mechanism 210 may be the same as a driving force provided by the second driving mechanism 220, which may improve a torque on the support points (e.g., the first support point 510, the second support point 520, and/or the third support point 530) . Therefore, a load capacity of the movable plate 100 may be improved.
  • In some embodiments, a distance between the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the first driving mechanism 210 along the X-axis and a distance between the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the second driving mechanism 220 along the X-axis may be adjusted according to a force demand and the tilt angle required by the movable plate 100. The greater the distance (e.g., the distance between the fulcrum mechanism 400  and the first driving mechanism 210 along the X-axis and/or the distance between the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the second driving mechanism 220 along the X-axis) is, the greater the load capacity of the movable plate 100 may be when the first driving mechanism 210 or the second driving mechanism 220 is born under an action of a same driving force. The smaller the distance (e.g., the distance between the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the first driving mechanism 210 along the X-axis and/or the distance between the fulcrum mechanism 400 and the second driving mechanism 220 along the X-axis) is, the greater the tilt angle of the movable plate 100 may be when the first driving mechanism 210 or the second driving mechanism 220 outputs a same driving stroke.
  • In some embodiments, a driving mechanism (e.g., the first driving mechanism 210 and/or the second driving mechanism 220) may be configured to drive a support point (e.g., the first support point 510 and/or the second support point 520) to move laterally. In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 may move synchronously or asynchronously (e.g., move in dislocation) .
  • FIG. 3A is a front view illustrating a second state of a motion platform according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 3B is a side view illustrating a second state of a motion platform according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. A second state of a motion platform may refer to a tilted state after the motion plate 100 rotates around the Y-axis.
  • As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 may drive corresponding support points (the first support point 510 and the second support point 520) , respectively, to move along a Z-axis under a same driving stroke. The fulcrum mechanism 400 may merely provide a rotational degree of freedom along a Y-axis and limit rotational degrees of freedom in other directions. The movable plate 100 may merely rotate around the Y-axis. Therefore, when the movable plate 100 tilts along the Y-axis, the movable plate 100 may be prevented from moving in the other directions, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the motion platform.
  • FIG. 4A is a front view illustrating a third state of a motion platform according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 4B is a side view illustrating a third  state of a motion platform according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, a driving stroke of the first driving mechanism 210 to the movable plate 100 may be greater or less than a driving stroke of the second driving mechanism 220 to the movable plate 100. The fulcrum mechanism 400 may merely provide a rotational degree of freedom in an X-axis and limit rotational degrees of freedom in other directions. The movable plate 100 may merely rotate around the X-axis. Thus, when the movable plate 100 tilts along the X-axis, the movable plate 100 may be prevented from moving in the other directions, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the motion platform.
  • In some embodiments, the fulcrum mechanism 400 may provide rotational degrees of freedom in the X-axis and the Y-axis. In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism 210 may be configured to drive the first support point 510 to move, the second driving mechanism 220 may be configured to drive the second support point 520 to move. The moved first support point 510, the moved second support point 520, and the third support point 530 may be configured to jointly determine a plane where the movable plate 100 is disposed.
  • In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism 210 and/or the second driving mechanism 220 may include a rotation drive unit and a power conversion unit. The power conversion unit may be configured to convert a rotational motion of the rotation driving unit into a vertical motion of a corresponding support point.
  • As shown in FIGs. 2A-2D, the rotation driving unit may provide a movement of rotation around the X-axis. Through the power conversion unit, the movement of rotation around the X-axis may be converted into a linear movement along the Z-axis. The first driving mechanism 210 may be taken as an example for illustration.
  • In the first driving mechanism 210, the rotation driving unit may include a rotation motor 213, and the power conversion unit may include a rocker 211. One end of the rocker 211 may be rotationally connected to an output end of the rotation motor 213, and another end of the rocker 211 may be rotationally connected to the movable plate 100. Thus, when the rotation motor 213 rotates around the X-axis, the rocker 211 may be driven to move along the Z-axis, and then a support point (i.e., the first support point 510) corresponding to the first driving mechanism 210 may be driven to move  along the Z-axis. In some embodiments, the support point (i.e., the first support point 510) corresponding to the first driving mechanism 210 may be a connection point between the another end of the rocker 211 and the movable plate 100. In some embodiments, a configuration of the second drive mechanism 220 may be similar to a configuration of the first drive mechanism 210.
  • In some embodiments, the power conversion unit may further include a reducer 212. The reducer 212 may be disposed at the output end of the rotation motor 213, and the rocker 211 may be connected to the output end through the reducer 212. The reducer 212 may include a transmission device disposed between the rotation motor 213 and the rocker 211 to reduce a speed of the output end of the rotation motor 213. In some embodiments, the reducer 212 may increase a rotation torque of the output end, so that a rotation torque of the first driving mechanism 210 may be improved, thereby increasing the load capacity of the movable plate 100. At the same time, by increasing a conversion-rotation ratio of the reducer 212, a mechanical error of the output end of the rotation motor 213 may be reduced. Therefore, a stroke accuracy of the first driving mechanism 210 may be improved, thereby improving a motion accuracy of the motion platform.
  • In some embodiments, both ends of the rocker 211 may be disposed with joint bearings 2111. The both ends of the rocker 211 may be rotationally connected to the output end and the movable plate 100 through the corresponding joint bearings 2111. In some embodiments, the joint bearings 2111 may include spherical sliding bearings. Sliding contact surfaces of each of the spherical sliding bearings may include an inner spherical surface and an outer spherical surface. Therefore, the spherical sliding bearings may rotate and swing at any angle during the motion. Surfaces (e.g., the inner spherical surface and/or the outer spherical surface) of the spherical sliding bearings may be manufactured via various special processing techniques such as phosphating, cratering, pad inlay, spraying, or the like, or any combination thereof. The joint bearings 2111 may have features of large load capacity, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, self-aligning, and good lubrication, which may further improve the load capacity and the motion accuracy of the motion platform. In some embodiments, when the movable plate 100 is caused to rotate, the first support point 510 and the second  support point 520 may move away from the Z-axis. By disposing the spherical sliding bearing, the stability and the motion accuracy of each of the at least two driving mechanisms (the first driving mechanism 210 and/or the second driving mechanism 220) may be improved when driving the support point.
  • In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism 210 and/or the second driving mechanism 220 may further include a linear driving unit. The linear driving unit may include a linear motor. An output end of the linear motor may be directly connected to a corresponding support point. The linear motor may be disposed along the Z-axis and may directly drive the corresponding support point to move along the Z-axis. The linear driving unit may include an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a screw elevator, a pneumatic rod, etc., which is not limited herein.
  • In some embodiments, uplifts 110 may be disposed a place between the first driving mechanism 210 and the corresponding support point (i.e., the first support point 510) and a place between the second driving mechanism 220 and the corresponding support point (i.e., the second support point 520) . The uplifts 110 may cause that the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 are hidden in the uplifts 110, so that the base plate 300 and the movable plate 100 may remain parallel at a starting position.
  • FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary fulcrum mechanism 400 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 5B is a section view illustrating the fulcrum mechanism 400 along a B-B axis in FIG. 5A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 5C is a section view illustrating the fulcrum mechanism 400 along a C-C axis in FIG. 5A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 5D is a section view illustrating the fulcrum mechanism 400 along a D-D axis in FIG. 5B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
  • As shown in FIGs. 5A-5D, the fulcrum mechanism 400 may include a first rotation unit and a second rotation unit. In some embodiments, an angle between a rotation shaft of the first rotation unit and a rotation shaft of the second rotation unit may be within a range of 85 degrees to 90 degrees, for example, 85 degrees, 86 degrees, 87 degrees, 88 degrees, 90 degrees, etc., so that rotational degrees of freedom in two  vertical directions may be provided for the movable plate 100. In some embodiments, the rotation shaft of the first rotation unit may be perpendicular to the rotation shaft of the second rotation unit, the rotation shaft of the first rotation unit may be parallel to a Y-axis, the rotation shaft of the second rotation unit may be parallel to an X-axis, and the X-axis and Y-axis may be perpendicular to each other.
  • In some embodiments, a relative position between the rotation shaft of the first rotation unit and the rotation shaft of the second rotation unit may remain. Thus, the rotation stability of the movable plate may be improved.
  • In some embodiments, the rotation shaft of the first rotation unit may be perpendicular to the rotation shaft of the second rotation unit, and the relative position between the rotation shaft of the first rotation unit and the rotation shaft of the second rotation unit may remain. In some embodiments, the first rotation unit may be connected to the base plate 300, the second rotation unit may be connected to the movable plate 100, and the movable plate 100 may rotate through the first rotation unit or the second rotation unit.
  • In some embodiments, the base plate 300 of the movable platform may provide a stable and flat support foundation. The first driving mechanism 210, the second driving mechanism 220, and the fulcrum mechanism 400 may be disposed on the base plate 300. In some embodiments, the first rotation unit may be connected to the base plate 300, the second rotation unit may be connected to the movable plate 100, and the movable plate 100 may rotate relative to the base plate 300 through the first rotation unit and/or the second rotation unit. In some embodiments, the movable plate 100 may rotate around the Y-axis relative to the base plate through the first rotation unit. In some embodiments, the movable plate 100 may rotate around the X-axis relative to the base plate through the second rotation unit.
  • In some embodiments, the first rotation unit may include a first rotation shaft 410 and a first bearing seat 420. The first bearing seat 420 may be configured to connect the first rotation shaft 410 to the base plate 300. The second rotation unit may include a second rotation shaft 440 and a second bearing seat. The second bearing seat may be configured to connect the second rotation shaft 440 to the movable plate 100. In some embodiments, the fulcrum mechanism 400 may include a fixed seat 430.  The first rotation shaft 410 and the second rotation shaft 440 may be fixed on the fixed seat 430, and an axis of the first rotation shaft may intersect with an axis of the second rotation shaft.
  • In some embodiments, the first rotation shaft 410 may be integral with the second rotation shaft 440. As shown in FIG. 5D, in some embodiments, the first rotation shaft 410 and the second rotation shaft 440 may form an integral cross rotation shaft part. The integral cross rotation shaft part may have features, such as a strong connection stability, a small occupied space, etc.
  • In some embodiments, the first rotation shaft 410 and the second rotation shaft 440 may be two independent rotation shafts. A spatial angle of the first rotation shaft 410 and the second rotation shaft 440 may be within a range of 85 degrees to 90 degrees, but the first rotation shaft 410 and the second rotation shaft 440 may not intersect with each other. In some embodiments, one of the first rotation shaft 410 and the second rotation shaft 440 may be disposed above the other of the first rotation shaft 410 and the second rotation shaft 440. For example, the second rotation shaft 410 may be disposed above the first rotation shaft 410. As another example, the first rotation shaft 410 may be connected to the base plate 300 through the first bearing seat 420, the second rotation shaft 440 may be disposed above the first rotation shaft 410 and fixed relative to the first rotation shaft 410, and the second rotation shaft 440 may be connected to the movable plate 100 through the second bearing seat 450.
  • In some embodiments, the second bearing seat 450 may be connected to the movable plate 100 through a connecting plate 431. In some embodiments, the second bearing seat 450 may be fixed to the connecting plate 431 through a fastener such as a bolt, etc. The connecting plate 431 may be connected to the movable plate 100 through a welding connection, a fastening connection, a bonding connection, etc. In some embodiments, the connecting plate 431 and the fixed seat 430 may be a same component. In some embodiments, the connecting plate 431 and the fixed seat 430 may be two different components. By connecting through the connecting plate 431, a contact area between the second bearing seat 450 and the movable plate 100 may be increased, so as to increase the connection stability between the second bearing seat  450 and the movable plate 100, thereby improving the stability of the movable plate 100 when tilting the movable plate 100.
  • In some embodiments, the third support point may be a center point (e.g., a geometric center point) of a contact surface between the connecting plate 431 and the movable plate 100.
  • In some embodiments, the motion platform may further include an encoder (not shown) . The encoder may be disposed on a rotation shaft (e.g., the first rotation shaft 410) of the first rotation unit and/or a rotation shaft (e.g., the second rotation shaft 440) of the second rotation unit. For example, the encoder may be disposed at both ends of the first rotation shaft 410 and/or the second rotation shaft 440. The encoder may be configured to detect a rotation angle of the first rotation shaft 410 and/or the second rotation shaft 440. A processor on a medical device or a medical bed may determine the tilt angle of the movable plate 100 through the rotation angle of the first rotation shaft 410 and/or the second rotation shaft 440 fed back by the encoder, so as to timely and accurately adjust the tilt angle of the movable plate 100 and improve a control accuracy.
  • In some embodiments, the fulcrum mechanism 400 may include a third rotation unit (not shown) . An angle between a rotation shaft of the third rotation unit and the rotation shaft (e.g., the first rotation shaft 410) of the first rotation unit may be within a range of 85 degrees to 90 degrees, and an angle between the rotation shaft of the third rotation unit and the rotation shaft (e.g., the second rotation shaft 440) of the second rotation unit may be within a range of 85 degrees to 90 degrees. In some embodiments, the rotation shaft of the third rotation unit may be perpendicular to the rotation shaft of the first rotation unit and the rotation shaft of the second rotation unit, respectively. In some embodiments, a direction of the rotation shaft of the first rotation unit may be parallel to an X-axis, a direction of the rotation shaft of the second rotation unit may be parallel to a Y-axis, and a direction of the rotation shaft of the third rotation unit may be parallel to a Z-axis, wherein the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis may be perpendicular to each other.
  • In some embodiments, the motion platform may include a third driving mechanism (not shown) . The third driving mechanism may be configured to cause the  movable plate 100 to move relative to the rotation shaft (e.g., the Z-axis) of the third rotation unit. In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the movable plate 100 may include a fourth support point. The third driving mechanism may be connected to the movable plate 100 at the fourth support point. The third driving mechanism may cause the fourth support point to rotate relative to the Z-axis, thereby causing the movable plate 100 to rotate relative to the Z-axis.
  • In some embodiments, the fulcrum mechanism 400 may provide additional movement degrees of freedom for the movable plate 100. For example, the fulcrum mechanism 400 may further provide translational degrees of freedom for the movable plate 100. In some embodiments, a count (or number) of the degrees of freedom provided by the fulcrum mechanism 400 for the movable plate 100 may be equal to a count (or number) of drive mechanisms.

  • In some embodiments, the medical bed may include a radiotherapy bed, a scanning bed, a catheter bed, or the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the movable plate 100 may drive the bed plate of the medical bed such as the radiotherapy bed, the scanning bed, the catheter bed, etc., to rotate so as to adjust the bed plate to a position suitable for image fluoroscopy, thereby achieving an accurate positioning of a tumor position.
  • In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 may be disposed at intervals along a width direction of the medical bed. The arrangement may be convenient to adjust tilt angles of the head and tail of the medical bed and tilt angles of left and right sides of the medical bed. In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220 may be disposed at intervals along the width direction of the medical bed, and the first support point, the second support point, and the third support point may form an isosceles triangle. Therefore, the fulcrum mechanism may provide a stable support for  the medical bed, and facilitate to cause the bed plate to rotate to an appropriate tilt angle.
  • Some embodiments of the present disclosure may further provide a radiotherapy bed. The radiotherapy bed may include a motion platform. The movable plate 100 of the motion platform may be configured to fix and support the radiotherapy bed so as to drive the radiotherapy bed to move.

  • Some embodiments of the present disclosure may further provide a medical device. The medical device may include a medical bed as described in any one of the above embodiments. In some embodiments, the medical bed may include a radiotherapy bed, a scanning bed, a catheter bed, or the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the medical bed may be a radiotherapy bed, and the radiotherapy bed may include a motion platform. The movable plate 100 of the moving platform may be configured to fix and support the radiotherapy bed so as to drive the radiotherapy bed to move. A radiotherapy object may lie on the radiotherapy bed, and the motion platform may drive the radiotherapy bed to move to adjust a location of the  radiotherapy object, so that a tumor location of the radiotherapy object may align with a radiation source. When the radiation source is started, a radiotherapy may be performed on the tumor location of the radiotherapy object. In some embodiments, the medical device may include a radiotherapy device, a scanning device, a catheter device, or the like, or any combination thereof.
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary structure of a control device of a medical device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
  • As shown in FIG. 6, a control device 600 of a medical device may include a processor 610, a communication bus, and an encoder 620. A communication process between the processor 610, the encoder 620, and the first driving mechanism 210 and/or the second driving mechanism 220 may be implemented through the communication bus. The processor 610 may control a motion of the driving mechanism 210 and/or the second driving mechanism 220 so as to control a medical bed of the medical device to move. In some embodiments, the processor 610 of the medical device may be in signal connection with (e.g., electrically connected to) the first driving mechanism 210 and the second driving mechanism 220.
  • In some embodiments, the processor 610 may be in signal connection with (e.g., electrically connected to) the encoder 620, and determine whether a bed plate of the medical bed moves to a target location based on a signal of the encoder 620. If the processor 610 determines that the bed plate moves to the target location based on the signal of the encoder 620, the processor 610 may control the first driving mechanism 210 and/or the second driving mechanism 220 to stop. If the processor 610 determines that the bed plate does not move to the target location based on the signal of the encoder 620, the processor 610 may continue to control the first driving mechanism 210 and/or the second driving mechanism 220 to move the bed plate towards a target tilt angle based on an actual tilt angle and the target tilt angle of the bed plate.
  • In some embodiments, the processor 610 may be implemented using a central processor 610, a server, a terminal device, or any other possible processing device. In some embodiments, the above central processor 610, the server, the terminal device, or the other processing device may be implemented on a cloud platform. In some embodiments, the above central processor 610, the server, or the other processing  devices may be interconnected with various terminal devices, and the terminal device may perform information processing (or a portion) .
  • The possible beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present disclosure may include but not be limited to the following. (1) The motion platform can include a movable plate, a base plate, a fulcrum mechanism, and at least two driving mechanisms. The fulcrum mechanism and the driving mechanism can be disposed on the base plate. A bottom surface of the movable plate can include at least three non-collinear support points. Each of the fulcrum mechanism and the at least two driving mechanisms may be disposed at one of the support points and connected with the movable plate. When one driving mechanism independently drives a corresponding support point to move along a vertical direction, the movable plate can be tilted, and the fulcrum mechanism can provide the movable plate with a rotational degree of freedom along a tilted direction of the movable plate. (2) The motion platform can realize two rotational degrees of freedom. In addition, the first rotation unit can include a first rotation shaft and a first bearing seat. The first bearing seat can be configured to connect the first rotation shaft to the base plate. The second rotation unit can include a second rotation shaft and a second bearing seat. The second bearing seat can be configured to connect the second rotation shaft to the movable plate. The fulcrum mechanism can further include a fixed seat. The first rotation shaft and the second rotation shaft can be disposed on the fixed seat, and an axis of the first rotation shaft can intersect with an axis of the second rotation shaft. Due to a limited operation of the rotation of the first rotation shaft or the second rotating shaft, the rotation of the movable plate along other directions can be prevented, which can further improve the rotation accuracy of the movable plate. (3) The motion platform can include an encoder. A rotation angle of the first rotation shaft and/or the second rotation shaft can be fed back through the encoder, so as to determine a tilt angle of the movable plate, and further adjust the tilt angle of the movable plate in time based on demand, thereby improving the motion accuracy of the motion platform. It should be noted that different embodiments may have different beneficial effects. In different embodiments, the possible beneficial effects may be any one of the above effects, or any combination thereof, or any other beneficial effects that may be obtained.
