As used in the specification and appended claims of the present application, the singular expressions "one", "a kind of", "said", "above", "the" and "this" are intended to also include plural expressions, unless there is a clear indication to the contrary in the context. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used in the present application refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more listed items.

[0032] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, and in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0033] The present application embodiment provides an intelligent video monitoring system for a construction project, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 It is a module connection diagram of an embodiment of the present application, including: A micro X-ray emitter 1, used to generate a micro X-ray source of preset intensity for tissue imaging; A folding storage mechanism 2, for facilitating the instrument to be unfolded when in use and folded when not in use; Power supply device 3, using a lithium-ion battery pack to replace external power cables and achieve autonomous power supply; A handheld module 4, the handheld module 4 having an ergonomically designed handle, the handheld module 4 being provided with an X-ray detector for acquiring X-ray information after attenuation by the tissue to be tested; A control panel 5, used to provide a control interface for the user; The controller 6 is communicatively connected with the micro X-ray emitter 1, the power supply device 3, the X-ray detector and the control panel 5. The controller 6 is used to control the micro X-ray emitter 1 to emit X-rays when the user activates the scan button on the control panel 5, and to determine the change in X-ray intensity after passing through an object in combination with the X-ray detector, and to convert the X-ray intensity change into a digital image signal, and then send it to the display end of the communication connection for display.

[0034] Specifically, the micro X-ray emitter 1 adopts a small vacuum tube design, with a tiny tungsten cathode and a needle-shaped copper anode. When working, the high-voltage power supply heats the tungsten cathode, causing the cathode to emit hot electrons. These hot electrons are accelerated and hit on the anode under the action of the high-voltage electric field, thereby generating X-rays. By adjusting the heating current and the size of the high voltage, the intensity of the X-rays can be accurately controlled. The system adopts closed-loop feedback control to monitor the X-ray output intensity in real time to ensure that it is stable at a preset value. The shell of the micro X-ray emitter 1 is shielded with a lead layer to reduce the impact of ray leakage on the environment and users. At the same time, a safety mechanical shutdown linkage is set, and when the instrument shell is opened, the high-voltage power supply will be automatically cut off to avoid ray leakage. The power supply device 3 uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack and a lithium iron phosphate battery cell with a higher energy density. A battery management system is set to monitor the battery status in real time, and the battery can be balanced and protected. The charging management circuit can control the charging of the external power supply to achieve fast charging. Using a built-in battery for power supply avoids the constraints of external cables, and the system can be used flexibly and maneuverably. A single charge can support continuous use for several hours to meet the needs of on-site operations. At the same time, a fast charging interface is configured to quickly charge the system in a short time. A buffer rubber is provided between the handle and the main body to increase the anti-drop ability. An X-ray detector is installed inside the handheld module 4, using a silicon PIN diode as a detector to collect X-ray information attenuated by the sample. The control panel 5 can be a touch screen that supports multi-touch operation. The screen uses tempered glass to improve impact resistance. The operation interface uses a menu design and supports multi-language switching. An emission control button is provided on the control panel 5, and the user can choose a timed emission or a continuous emission mode. The display menu can display the X-ray dose value in real time, and there are also mechanical expansion buttons, power buttons, etc. The user clicks the scan button on the touch screen, and the controller 6 starts the micro X-ray emitter 1 to emit X-rays for scanning, and obtains the X-ray intensity through the object through the ray detector. The controller 6 then converts the X-ray intensity change into a digital image signal, and maps it to a grayscale value range according to the value of the X-ray intensity change. For example, the area with smaller intensity change may correspond to a lower grayscale value, which is shown as a dark area in the image; the area with larger intensity change may correspond to a higher grayscale value, which is shown as a bright area in the image, and a digital image is obtained, and the digital image is sent to the display terminal connected to the controller 6 for display. In this way, portability can be achieved, the miniature X-ray emitter is miniaturized and the power supply is free from external cables, which is convenient for use in different scenarios.

[0035] For ease of understanding, the following is a further module description of the system provided by this implementation in combination with the above scenarios. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is another module connection diagram of an embodiment of the present application.

[0036] exist Figure 2 In a portable X-ray machine system, the folding storage mechanism 2 includes a hinge structure 7 and a connecting rod 8. The hinge structure 7 is used to connect two relatively movable parts of the folding storage mechanism 2 to achieve the conversion between folding and opening and storage and closure. The connecting rod 8 is used to coordinate the movement of different parts to achieve folding and opening. Specifically, the hinge structure 7 is made of copper alloy material with high strength and corrosion resistance. It includes two hinge pieces that fit each other and are connected by bearings. The adjacent hinge pieces rotate slightly through the bearings to achieve relative movement. By connecting multiple groups of hinge pieces in series, the plane folding and retracting between the two brackets can be achieved. The brackets can be relatively folded and retracted or opened and unfolded. In order to coordinate the movement between the hinges and keep the overall plane consistent, a synchronous connecting rod 8 mechanism is set, so that the instrument can be unfolded in the use state and folded compactly in the storage state, which greatly improves the portability of the instrument.

[0037] In some embodiments, the power supply device 3 in a portable X-ray system includes a fast charging unit 10, a power monitoring unit 11 and a power display unit 12. The fast charging unit 10 is used to quickly charge the lithium-ion battery pack; the power monitoring unit 11 is used to monitor the remaining power and operating status of the lithium-ion battery pack in real time, and send the remaining power and the operating status to the power display unit 12 for display. If the power monitoring unit 11 detects that the operating status is not running, it sends non-operating information to the controller 6 so that the controller 6 controls the micro X-ray emitter 1 to stop working. Specifically, the fast charging unit 10 has a built-in high-efficiency fast charging chip, which can greatly improve the charging speed of the lithium-ion battery and shorten the charging time while ensuring charging safety. The power monitoring unit 11 contains an accurate voltage and current detection circuit, which detects the working voltage, working current and other parameters of the lithium battery in real time, and calculates the remaining power of the battery through an intelligent algorithm. At the same time, the unit also monitors the operating status parameters such as the temperature and internal resistance of the battery. Once an abnormality is detected in the battery, such as voltage overcharge, over discharge, overheating, etc., a protection instruction will be immediately sent to the controller 6 to avoid battery damage. The power display unit 12 includes an OLED display screen, which can intuitively display the remaining battery power and the current charging and discharging status. The display interface is simple and intuitive, and the user can clearly know the battery status. The display unit also has a low-power design, and is not easy to decay when used for a long time. When the power monitoring unit 11 detects that the battery operating status is not running, that is, it detects that the entire system is in a shut-down state, it will immediately send a non-operating information to the controller 6. After receiving the information, the controller 6 will automatically cut off the working power of the ray transmitter to ensure that the risk of radiation leakage caused by misoperation of the micro X-ray transmitter 1 is eliminated when the system is in standby mode. Compared with the prior art, the power supply device 3 realizes the three functions of fast charging, accurate power monitoring and intuitive power display through modular and intelligent design, ensuring that the system can work stably, efficiently and safely, and provide reliable power support for the portable X-ray imaging system.

[0038] In some embodiments, a portable X-ray system also includes a protective shell 13, which adopts waterproof coating and sealing design, and is provided with a dustproof layer, and the protective shell 13 is used to protect the instrument from the external environment. Specifically, the waterproof layer has a super-hydrophobic property with a contact angle of more than 100°, which can effectively prevent water penetration, avoid circuit short circuit and corrosion of parts. The waterproof coating is extremely thin, which minimizes the volume, and has good mechanical strength and chemical stability. The dustproof layer uses micro-nano fiber filter material with uniform particle size, and uses the principle of electrostatic adsorption to capture dust particles in the air, which has the advantages of high blocking efficiency and low air resistance. The shape and size of the protective shell 13 completely match the portable X-ray machine body, and it is formed using precision CNC technology to ensure the protective effect without increasing the overall volume of the product. The installation process is simple, and quick disassembly can be achieved through a mechanical snap-on structure. In this way, the portable X-ray machine can have comprehensive protection functions of waterproof and dustproof, and can be used in various harsh environments.

[0039] In some embodiments, a portable X-ray system further includes a temperature sensor 14 and a temperature self-regulating device 15, the temperature self-regulating device 15 includes a heating element, a heat dissipation fan and a water cooling circulation unit, the heating element is used to preheat the micro X-ray source and related components to an optimal temperature range; the heat dissipation fan and the water cooling circulation unit are used to dissipate the heat of the internal components of the instrument, and when the controller 6 detects that the temperature of the instrument is not within the set temperature range through the temperature sensor 14, the temperature self-regulating device 15 is controlled to adjust the temperature to the set temperature range. Specifically, the heating element can be a foil-type resistive heating element, which has the characteristics of fast heating speed and high power density. The resistive heating element forms a hot foil array distributed on the surface of the micro X-ray emitter 1, which can quickly provide preheating for the micro X-ray source, so that it quickly reaches the working temperature, shortens the preheating time, and improves work efficiency. The heat dissipation fan uses high-speed rotation to generate a large air volume, and forced convection takes away the internal heat of the device. The heat dissipation fan speed is adjustable and the cooling power is controllable. The water cooling circulation unit uses a small water pump and a heat sink to force water to flow in a micro channel, and releases the heat after taking away the heat through the heat sink. The temperature sensor 14 can be set near the micro X-ray emitter 1 to provide real-time feedback of temperature information. The controller 6 intelligently determines the current working mode based on the data from the temperature sensor 14, and instructs the actuator to start the corresponding heating or cooling module to form a closed-loop control to stabilize the temperature within the set range. When the temperature is too high, forced air cooling is used to cool it down first; if it cannot be lowered to a safe temperature, water cooling is started to assist in forced cooling to achieve precise temperature control. This design not only ensures the performance of the equipment, but also enables the portable X-ray machine to adapt to various ambient temperatures.

[0040] In some embodiments, a portable X-ray machine system further includes a 5G communication module 16 and an encryption module 17, wherein the 5G communication module 16 is connected to the controller 6 and the remote display terminal, and the 5G communication module 16 is used to transmit the digital image signal to the remote display terminal, and the encryption module 17 encrypts the digital image signal during the transmission process. Specifically, the 5G communication module 16 is compatible with the 4G network to realize multi-mode high-speed wireless transmission. The controller 6 inputs the original digital image signal obtained by X-ray detection into the 5G communication module 16. In this process, considering the confidentiality of medical images, the encryption module 17 can use the symmetric encryption scheme of AES256-bit key. Before the image signal is input into the 5G module, it is first encrypted by the encryption module 17. The encryption module 17 uses a true random number generator to generate a key to ensure the randomness of each transmission. The display device at the receiving end also has a corresponding encryption chip built in. After the encrypted signal arrives, it is decrypted by inputting the same key to restore the original image for display. The whole process does not require human participation, which is fast and efficient.

[0041] This solution makes full use of the high speed and low latency advantages brought by 5G technology, which can realize long-distance wireless image transmission and expand the application scope of the system. At the same time, the addition of hardware encryption module 17 ensures the confidentiality and data security of medical images. This design enables the portable X-ray system to work reliably in various complex network environments.

[0042] In some embodiments, a portable X-ray system further includes an object sensor 18, which is connected to the controller 6 and arranged on one side of the micro X-ray transmitter 1. The object sensor 18 is used to detect whether an object is approaching and send a detection signal to the controller 6. When no object is detected approaching within a set time, it is determined that the instrument is in an unused state. After receiving the corresponding detection signal, the controller 6 controls the micro X-ray transmitter 1 to stop working. Specifically, the object sensor 18 can be an infrared sensor. All objects will emit infrared thermal radiation, and its intensity is related to the temperature of the object. The infrared sensor contains an infrared emitting element and an infrared receiving element. The emitting element continuously emits infrared rays. When an object approaches, the infrared rays reflected by the object will be detected by the receiving element. By analyzing the intensity and change pattern of the received infrared signal, it can be determined whether an object is approaching and the approximate position and distance of the object. In the portable X-ray system, the infrared sensor is installed on one side of the micro X-ray transmitter. When the instrument is in a working environment, the infrared emitting element continuously emits infrared rays to the surrounding space. If an object enters the sensing area, the reflected infrared rays will be received by the receiving element, and an electrical signal change will be generated. This electrical signal will be amplified, filtered and analyzed by the internal signal processing circuit. The processed signal is identified as a signal of an approaching object and sent to the controller 6. When the controller 6 receives the signal sent by the sensor, it will make a judgment according to the set rules. If the signal received within the set time indicates that an object is approaching, the controller 6 will consider that the instrument is in use and continue to keep the micro X-ray transmitter in working state; if no signal of an object approaching is received within the set time, the controller 6 will determine that the instrument is not in use and control the micro X-ray transmitter to stop working. This interactive method with the controller 6 realizes the intelligent control of the instrument. Through the coordinated work of the object sensor 18 and the controller 6, energy can be effectively saved and the service life of the equipment can be extended.

[0043] In some embodiments, a portable X-ray system further includes a frame module 19, which includes a lightweight material frame made of carbon fiber composite material and aviation aluminum alloy. Specifically, carbon fiber composite material is a composite of carbon fiber and matrix material (such as resin), and its strength is higher than steel, but its density is lower than aluminum, which allows it to greatly reduce weight while providing sufficient strength support. Secondly, it has good corrosion resistance, can maintain stable performance in various harsh environments, and is not easily corroded. In addition, carbon fiber composite material also has good fatigue resistance and can withstand repeated stress without being easily damaged. Aviation aluminum alloy has high strength and good toughness, and can withstand large external forces without being easily deformed or broken. At the same time, aviation aluminum alloy also has good processing performance, and can be made into complex shapes and structures through various processing methods. In addition, it has good thermal conductivity, which is conducive to the dissipation of heat inside the instrument. Traditional X-ray machine frames often use heavier metal materials, which makes the equipment bulky and inconvenient to carry. This system breaks this limitation by using a lightweight material frame, effectively reducing the weight of the instrument. This gives the portable X-ray system a clear advantage in scenarios such as field rescue and medical diagnosis in remote areas where equipment needs to be frequently moved. Operators can easily carry the instrument and quickly reach the location that needs to be tested, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments, a display parameter adjustment button 20 is provided on the control panel 5 in a portable X-ray machine system, and the controller 6 is connected to the display parameter adjustment button 20 in communication. When the user operates the display parameter adjustment button 20, the controller 6 adjusts the display parameters of the digital image signal sent to the display end accordingly. Specifically, considering the convenience and intuitiveness of user operation, the display parameter adjustment button 20 may be distinguished by different shapes, sizes and colors so that the user can quickly identify and operate. For example, the brightness adjustment button may be designed as a round raised button with a bright yellow color, the contrast adjustment button may be a square flat button with a gray color, and the color adjustment button may be a triangular button with a green color. When the user presses the display parameter adjustment button 20, the button generates an electrical signal. This electrical signal is transmitted to the controller 6 through the circuit inside the control panel 5. For example, if the user presses the "+" direction of the brightness adjustment button, the button generates a specific electrical signal, indicating that the brightness needs to be increased. After receiving this electrical signal, the controller 6 adjusts the display parameters of the digital image signal sent to the display end according to the preset algorithm and rules. For brightness adjustment, the controller 6 may increase the brightness value of each pixel in the image signal, which can be achieved by adjusting the grayscale value of the image signal. In this way, the doctor can adjust the image brightness, contrast, color and other parameters at any time according to the patient's specific situation and his own diagnosis experience, so as to better observe the details in the image and improve the accuracy of diagnosis.

[0045] In some embodiments, the folding storage mechanism 2 in a portable X-ray machine system further includes a locking device 9, which is used to lock the various components of the folding storage mechanism 2 together when the instrument is in a folded and retracted state to prevent accidental opening during transportation. The locking device 9 can adopt various types of designs, including mechanical lock type and magnetic suction type. The mechanical lock type locking device 9 is usually composed of a lock hook and a lock buckle. The lock hook is installed on one component, and the lock buckle is installed on another component corresponding to it. When the instrument is in a folded and retracted state, the lock hook and the lock buckle can bite each other to tightly connect the two components together. The magnetic suction type locking device 9 uses the attraction of magnetic materials to achieve locking. Magnets and magnetic attraction materials are respectively installed on the folded and retracted components. When the instrument is folded, the magnets and magnetic attraction materials are close to each other and adsorbed together, thereby locking the components. When the instrument is in a folded and retracted state, the main function of the locking device 9 is to prevent the various components from accidentally opening during transportation. During transportation, the instrument may be subjected to external forces such as bumps, vibrations, and collisions.
