Abstract

A device for transferring a subject in a medical procedure may be provided. The device may include a transmission assembly configured to transfer a subject to a scanning region of a medical device. The device may further include a supporting assembly supporting the transmission assembly. The supporting assembly may include at least one board and at least two supporting units supporting the at least one board. The at least two supporting units may be disposed at two sides of the scanning region of the medical device.

Claims (39)

1. A device for transferring a subject in a medical procedure, the device comprising:

a transmission assembly configured to transfer the subject to a scanning region of a medical device, the transmission assembly including at least one transmission belt and at least one first adjustment component, the at least one first adjustment component being configured to adjust a tension force of the at least one transmission belt, wherein the at least one first adjustment component includes at least one first supporting unit, and the tension force of the at least one transmission belt is adjusted by adjusting a length of the at least one first supporting unit; and

a supporting assembly supporting the transmission assembly, the supporting assembly including at least one board and at least two supporting units supporting the at least one board, wherein the at least two supporting units are disposed at two sides of the scanning region of the medical device, and the at least two supporting units at least include a second supporting unit and a third supporting unit.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the transmission assembly further includes:

at least one driving component configured to drive the at least one transmission belt.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one driving component further includes:

a first rotation wheel; and

a second rotation wheel,

wherein the at least one transmission belt is configured to encompass the first rotation wheel, the second rotation wheel and the at least one board, and the first rotation wheel and the second rotation wheel are configured to rotate to drive a rotation of the at least one transmission belt.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein each of the first rotation wheel and the second rotation wheel is configured with a gear, respectively.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one transmission belt is configured with a plurality of teeth being coupled with the gears, and the at least one board is configured with a groove to accommodate the plurality of teeth.

6. The device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one driving component further includes:

a first winding component; and

a second winding component,

wherein the first winding component and the second winding component are connected to two ends of the at least one transmission belt, respectively.

7. The device of claim 2 , wherein the transmission assembly further includes at least one second adjustment component configured to adjust a space between the at least one board and the at least one transmission belt, the at least one second adjustment component being connected to the supporting assembly.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein one of the at least two supporting units is connected to a gantry of the medical device.

9. The device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one first adjustment component includes at least one third rotation wheel, the at least one transmission belt encompassing the at least one third rotation wheel.

10. The device of claim 7 , wherein the supporting assembly further includes at least one third adjustment component connected to at least one of the at least two supporting units, the at least one third adjustment component being configured to adjust a height of the at least one board.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one third adjustment component includes a first adjustment unit and a second adjustment unit, the first adjustment unit and the second adjustment are connected to the at least two supporting units, respectively.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first supporting unit is configured to move along an axis direction of the at least one transmission belt or the at least one board.

13. A system for performing a medical procedure, comprising:

a medical device, including a scanning region being configured to accommodate a subject; and

a device configured to transfer the subject to the scanning region, including

a transmission assembly configured to transfer the subject to the scanning region of the medical device, the transmission assembly including at least one transmission belt and at least one first adjustment component, the at least one first adjustment component being configured to adjust a tension force of the at least one transmission belt, wherein the at least one first adjustment component includes at least one first supporting unit, and the tension force of the at least one transmission belt is adjusted by adjusting a length of the at least one first supporting unit; and

a supporting assembly supporting the transmission assembly, the supporting assembly including at least one board and at least two supporting units supporting the at least one board, wherein the at least two supporting units are disposed at two sides of the scanning region of the medical device, and the at least two supporting units at least include a second supporting unit and a third supporting unit.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein one of the at least two supporting units is connected to a gantry of the medical device.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the transmission assembly includes:

at least one driving component configured to drive the at least one transmission belt.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one driving component further includes:

a first rotation wheel; and

a second rotation wheel,

wherein the at least one transmission belt is configured to encompass the first rotation wheel, the second rotation wheel and the at least one board, and the first rotation wheel and the second rotation wheel are configured to rotate to drive a rotation of the at least one transmission belt.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one driving component further includes:

a first winding component; and

a second winding component,

wherein the first winding component and the second winding component are connected to two ends of the at least one transmission belt, respectively.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the transmission assembly further includes at least one second adjustment component configured to adjust a space between the at least one board and the at least one transmission belt, the at least one second adjustment component being connected to the supporting assembly.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the supporting assembly further includes at least one third adjustment component connected to at least one of the at least two supporting units, the at least one third adjustment component being configured to adjust a height of the at least one board.
