[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following embodiments are provided to further illustrate the present invention in detail.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a CT gantry 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the CT gantry 100 includes a housing 102, which has an air inlet 104. In this embodiment, the air inlet 104 is groove-shaped, but it can also be other shapes. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a CT stent 105 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 for Figure 2 Left view of the CT stent 105 shown. Figure 4 for Figure 2 The CT stent 105 shown is along Figure 3 A cross-sectional view along line AA in the diagram.

[0031] The CT stand 105 is part of the CT gantry 100 and is covered by the housing 102.

[0032] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the CT support 105 includes a base plate 108, a column 112, and a panel 106. The panel 106, base plate 108, and column 112 can be welded together. An open space 110 is provided between the panel 106 and at least one of the base plate 108 and column 112, the position of which corresponds to the position of the air inlet 104 of the housing 102. Depending on the cooling requirements, the two sides of the panel 106 (in...) Figure 2 The panel 106 has at least one air outlet 114 on at least one side (in both front and rear directions). The panel 106 has a circular opening 128, and the air outlets 114 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the circular opening 128. The air outlets 114 can cool components inside the CT gantry 100 and outside the CT support 105. These components are generally mounted on the turntable, such as X-ray tubes, high-voltage generators, and detectors.

[0033] Electrical components can be installed inside column 112. Figure 5 for Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic of the column 112 of the CT stent 105. To cool them, the column 112 has at least one first vent 120, and a channel 116 exists between the panel 106 and the column 112. Figure 4 As shown, the channel 116 may have a second vent 122, which is connected to the column 112.

[0034] In this embodiment, the panel 106 has a fan mounting interface 126, the open space 110, the fan mounting interface 126, the panel 106, and the air outlet 114 form a first air duct, and the open space 110, the fan mounting interface 126, the panel 106, the channel 116, the column 112, and the first ventilation opening 120 form a second air duct.

[0035] In other embodiments, panel 106 may have multiple fan mounting interfaces 126.

[0036] In other embodiments, the fan mounting interface 126 may be disposed on the column 112, the open space 110, the fan mounting interface 126, the column 112, and the first vent 120 form a first air duct, and the open space 110, the fan mounting interface 126, the column 112, the channel 116, the panel 106, and the air outlet 114 form a second air duct.

[0037] In this embodiment, the CT bracket 105 also includes a fan 124, which is mounted on a fan mounting interface 126. The fan 124 can circulate air in the first and second air passages, thereby cooling the electrical components of the column 112 and the components inside the CT gantry 100 and outside the CT bracket 105. The channel 116 may have a throttle valve 118 to control the airflow.

[0038] According to another aspect of the present invention, a CT device is provided, including a CT gantry 110.

[0039] The CT bracket, CT gantry, and CT equipment of the present invention provide a large air inlet area, have high air cooling efficiency, and have a simple structure, saving internal space of the gantry.
