[0072] Embodiment 1:

[0073] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a CT detector, which includes a fixing device 100, a rotating device 300 and a driving device 200. The fixing device 100 includes a bracket 101 and a slip ring bearing 102. The bracket 101 is provided with a mounting hole, and the slip ring bearing 102 is arranged in the mounting hole. The slip ring bearing 102 is connected to the rotating device 300. The driving device 200 includes a driving motor 201, a pulley and a conveyor belt 202. The driving motor 201 is fixed to the bracket 101. The main shaft of the driving motor 201 is connected to the pulley.

The driving motor 201 drives the pulley to rotate through the main shaft. The pulley drives the slip ring bearing 102 to rotate through the conveyor belt 202, and then drives the rotating device 300 to rotate, thereby realizing tomographic scanning.

[0074] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a rotating device for a CT detector, which is applied to the above-mentioned CT detector. The rotating device for a CT detector includes a ray source 4, an electric control integrated component 5, a cooling component 6, a detector component 2 and a connecting seat 1. The ray source 4 is used to emit X-rays, and the detector component 2 can receive X-rays and convert X-ray energy into an electrical signal that can be recorded to make a judgment on the detected object. The electric control integrated component 5 is used to control the ray source 4 and provide electrical energy, and the cooling component 6 is used to dissipate heat for the ray source 4. The ray source 4, the electric control integrated component 5, the cooling component 6 and the detector component 2 are all arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting seat 1. The ray source 4 is arranged opposite to the detector component 2, and the detector component 2 can receive X-rays within the ray range emitted by the ray source 4. The electric control integrated component 5 and the cooling component 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the ray source 4.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 7-10 As shown, the connection seat 1 includes a circular ring seat 11 and a connection frame 12. The connection frame 12 is arranged around the outer peripheral wall of the circular ring seat 11, and a mounting portion is arranged on the connection frame 12. The mounting portion includes a ray source mounting portion, a detector mounting portion, an integrated component mounting portion and a cooling component mounting portion. The ray source mounting portion and the detector mounting portion are relatively arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the circular ring seat 11. The ray source 4 is installed on the ray source mounting portion, and the detector assembly 2 is installed on the detector mounting portion. The integrated component mounting portion and the cooling component mounting portion are respectively located on both sides of the ray source mounting portion, the electric control integrated component 5 is arranged on the integrated component mounting portion, and the cooling component 6 is arranged on the cooling component mounting portion.

[0076] Furthermore, the connecting frame 12 includes a first reference frame 121 and a second reference frame 122 , both of which surround the outer circumferential wall of the annular seat 11 and are spaced apart along the axial direction of the annular seat 11 , and a mounting portion is formed between the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122 .

[0077] Specifically, the mounting portion includes a plurality of mounting bosses 125, and the ray source 4, the electric control integrated assembly 5, and the cooling assembly 6 are all mounted on the mounting bosses 125. In this embodiment, the ray source 4, the electric control integrated assembly 5, and the cooling assembly 6 can be directly mounted on the connecting frame 12, which greatly reduces the processing of the mounting surface, and the annular seat 11 and the connecting frame 12 are cast as an integrally formed part, which has a simple structure, reduces the overall weight, and reduces the processing cost.

[0078] Further, the mounting boss 125 includes a first mounting boss 1251 and a second mounting boss 1252, the first mounting boss 1251 is arranged across the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122, the ray source mounting portion includes two first mounting bosses 1251 arranged opposite to each other, and the ray source 4 is mounted on the two first mounting bosses 1251 by fastening screws. The second mounting boss 1252 is arranged on the end surface or one side of the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122, the integrated component mounting portion and the cooling component mounting portion are both provided with four second mounting bosses 1252, and the electric control integrated component 5 and the cooling component 6 are both mounted on the four second mounting bosses 1252 of the mounting portions corresponding to them by fastening screws.

[0079] Since the detector assembly 2 needs to receive X-rays emitted by the radiation source 4, a ray emitting slot 111 and a ray receiving slot 112 are provided on the annular seat 11. The ray emitting slot 111 is connected to the radiation source mounting portion, and the detector mounting portion is connected to the ray receiving slot 112. The X-rays emitted by the radiation source 4 reach the detector assembly 2 via the ray emitting slot 111 and the ray receiving slot 112.

[0080] Usually, when emitting X-rays, the radiation source 4 forms a fan-shaped body with the emission point of the radiation source 4 as the starting point. Therefore, in order to ensure that all X-rays can be received, the detector assembly 2 usually occupies a larger space on the outer wall of the connecting frame 12, and the space on the outer wall of the annular seat 11 occupied by the radiation receiving groove 112 is also larger, so that a larger opening is formed on the annular seat 11, thereby reducing the rigidity and strength of the annular seat 11.

[0081] In order to solve the above problems, the detector mounting part provided in this embodiment includes a plurality of detector sub-mounting parts arranged in sequence along the circumference of the annular seat 11, a partition structure is arranged between two adjacent detector sub-mounting parts, and the detector assembly includes a plurality of detection units, and the plurality of detection units are mounted on the plurality of detector sub-mounting parts in a one-to-one correspondence. The detector mounting part is divided into a plurality of detector sub-mounting parts, and the partition structure between the detector sub-mounting parts is mounted on a larger ray receiving slot 112, which can increase the rigidity and strength of the connecting seat 1.

[0082] In this embodiment, the plurality of detection units include a main detection unit 21 and two auxiliary detection units 22, each auxiliary detection unit 22 is provided with a mounting seat 3, the auxiliary detection unit 22 is installed in the mounting seat 3, the plurality of detector sub-mounting parts include a main detector mounting part and two auxiliary detector mounting parts, the two auxiliary detector mounting parts are respectively arranged on both sides of the main detector mounting part, and further, the partition structure includes an end plate 123, the end plate 123 is mounted on the ray receiving slot 112, and the main detector mounting part is formed between the two end plates 123. The two ends of the end plate 123 are respectively connected to the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122, and are mounted on the ray receiving slot 112, which can avoid the rigidity and strength of the connecting frame 12 being reduced due to the excessive opening of the ray receiving slot 112.

[0083] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the detection units may be five, seven, nine or other numbers, all of which are symmetrically arranged with the main detection unit 21 as the center.

[0084] Specifically, the main detection unit 21 includes a plurality of main detection pieces 211, and the plurality of main detection pieces 211 are installed side by side between the two end plates 123. In the main detector installation part, a support plate 126 is provided on the side where the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122 are close to each other, and both ends of each main detection piece 211 are connected to the support plate 126 by fastening screws.

[0085] like Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, the mounting base 3 includes a base body 31 and a bearing plate 32, the auxiliary detection unit 22 includes a plurality of auxiliary detection pieces 221, the plurality of auxiliary detection pieces 221 are mounted side by side on the bearing plate 32, the bearing plate 32 is arranged on the base body 31, and the base body 31 is detachably connected to the auxiliary detector mounting portion. The end surface of the first reference frame 121 and the end surface of the second reference frame 122 located at the auxiliary detector mounting portion are adapted to the shape of the base body 31, so that the base body 31 can be fixed to the end surface of the first reference frame 121 and the end surface of the second reference frame 122 by fastening screws.

[0086] In order to effectively shield the X-rays emitted by the radiation source 4 and prevent the X-rays from leaking out, the detector assembly 2 also includes a cover body 7, which is arranged on the main detection unit 21 and the base body 31, and the cover body 7 is connected to the end face of the first reference frame 121, the end face of the second reference frame 122 and the base body 31 located at the main detector mounting part through fastening screws.

[0087] Due to different requirements of the detected objects, the detection optical path of the CT detection machine includes a standard arc design and a non-standard arc design. In the prior art, different rotating devices 300 are usually required to adapt to the detection optical path with a standard arc design and a non-standard arc design, respectively, resulting in increased costs.

[0088] The connection base 1 provided in this embodiment can selectively make the arc where the auxiliary detection unit 22 is located and the arc where the main detection unit 21 is located be located on the same arc line or on different arc lines by replacing the mounting base 3. By changing the structure of the mounting base 3 and increasing or decreasing the thickness of the mounting base 3, the arc where the auxiliary detection unit 22 is located and the arc where the main detection unit 21 is located can be selectively made to be located on the same arc shape or on different arc lines by replacing the mounting base 3 to adapt to the design of different detection light paths, so that one connection base 1 can be compatible with the design of the detection light path being arranged in a standard arc and the design of a non-standard arc, with better versatility and reduced cost.

[0089] Furthermore, the bearing plate 32 is detachably connected to the seat body 31, and by replacing the bearing plates 32 of different thicknesses, the arc where the auxiliary detection unit 22 is located and the arc where the main detection unit 21 is located can be selectively located on the same arc line or on different arc lines. Exemplarily, if the arc where the auxiliary detection unit 22 is located and the arc where the main detection unit 21 is located are located on the same arc line, the thickness of the bearing plate 32 is h; then, if the arc where the auxiliary detection unit 22 is located is close to the center of the annular seat 11 relative to the arc where the main detection unit 21 is located, the thickness of the bearing plate 32 is greater than h; if the arc where the auxiliary detection unit 22 is located is far away from the center of the annular seat 11 relative to the arc where the main detection unit 21 is located, the thickness of the bearing plate 32 is less than h.

[0090] In this embodiment, by detachably connecting the bearing plate 32 to the seat body 31, the versatility of the rotating device 300 can be met by simply replacing the bearing plate 32. Of course, in other embodiments, the bearing plate 32 and the seat body 31 can also be integrally arranged, and the versatility of the rotating device 300 can be met by replacing the mounting seat 3.

[0091] Further, continue to refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 A plug-in limit groove 124 is formed between the auxiliary detector mounting portion and the end plate 123, and a plug-in limit portion is provided on the seat body 31, and the plug-in limit portion cooperates with the plug-in limit groove 124 to plug the seat body 31 into the auxiliary detector mounting portion. After the main detection unit 21 is installed in the main detector mounting portion, the mounting seat 3 with the auxiliary detection unit 22 installed is plugged into the auxiliary detector mounting portion from the side of the main detector mounting portion, and after the mounting seat 3 is positioned, the seat body 31 is fixed to the auxiliary detector mounting portion by tightening screws.

[0092] Specifically, the seat body 31 includes a mounting plate 311, a first connecting plate 312 and a second connecting plate 313. The bearing plate 32 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 311. The first connecting plate 312 is arranged at one end of the mounting plate 311 and is arranged perpendicular to the mounting plate 311. The bearing plate 32 is arranged to protrude from one end of the mounting plate 311 and form a plug-in limiting portion with the first connecting plate 312. The mounting plate 311 is plugged into the plug-in limiting groove 124, and the first connecting plate 312 abuts against the end plate 123. The second connecting plate 313 is bent downward from the other end of the mounting plate 311 and abuts against the end surfaces of the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122. A connecting rib plate 314 is also arranged between the first connecting plate 312 and the mounting plate 311, and the cover body 7 is connected to the connecting rib plate 314.

[0093] Specifically, in this embodiment, two connecting ribs 314 are arranged opposite to each other, and threaded holes are arranged on the two connecting ribs 314 . The fastening screws pass through the cover body 7 and are screwed to the threaded holes on the connecting ribs 314 .

[0094] The X-rays emitted by the radiation source 4 are received by the detector assembly 2 through the radiation emission slot 111 and the radiation receiving slot 112. The radiation emission slot 111 is the first constraint limit of the X-rays, and the radiation receiving slot 112 is the second constraint limit of the X-rays. Usually, there are a small amount of scattered X-rays on the inner circumferential wall of the annular seat 11. In order to better shield the X-rays and prevent the X-rays from leaking out and endangering human health. The inner wall of the radiation emission slot 111 and the inner wall of the radiation receiving slot 112 are both provided with a first radiation shielding coating, and the inner circumferential wall of the annular seat 11 is provided with a second radiation shielding coating. The thickness of the first radiation shielding coating is greater than the thickness of the second radiation shielding coating. In this embodiment, the radiation shielding coating is a lead coating.

[0095] Furthermore, the inner circumferential wall of the annular seat 11 is set to a smooth surface. The setting of the smooth surface is more convenient for coating the second radiation shielding coating and can reduce the amount of lead used.

[0096] Specifically, the ray emitting slot 111 and the ray receiving slot 112 are both located between the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122. The ray emitting slot 111 and the ray receiving slot 112 both include a first side wall and a second side wall spaced apart along the axial direction of the annular seat 11. The first side wall is parallel to the side wall of the first reference frame 121, and the second side wall is parallel to the side wall of the second reference frame 122.

[0097] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, further, along the axial direction of the annular seat 11, the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122 are arranged at a preset angle, and the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122 both extend from the center point of the ray source mounting portion to the direction of the main detector mounting portion, so that the distance between the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122 is larger as it is closer to the detector mounting portion, thereby satisfying the installation of the detection assembly 2. Since the first ray shielding coating coated on the inner wall of the ray emitting slot 111 and the inner wall of the ray receiving slot 112 is thicker, the shape of the ray emitting slot 111 and the shape of the ray receiving slot 112 determine the coating area of ​​the first ray shielding coating, by arranging the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122 at a preset angle, the preset angle is set according to the X-ray cone angle emitted by the ray source 4, not only can the ray emitting slot 111 and the ray receiving slot 112 pass all the X-rays emitted by the ray source 4, but also the coating area of ​​the first ray shielding coating is minimized, so as to minimize the amount of lead used and further reduce the cost.

[0098] Since the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122 are arranged at a preset angle, in order to meet the installation requirements of the ray source 4, the electronic control integrated component 5 and the cooling component 6, the second mounting boss 1252 of the ray source mounting part, the integrated component mounting part and the cooling component mounting part is arranged on the side away from the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122.

[0099] In addition, since the closer to the radiation source mounting portion, the smaller the spacing between the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122, correspondingly, the spacing between the first reference frame 121 and the end of the corresponding annular seat 11 and the spacing between the second reference frame 122 and the end of the corresponding annular seat 11 will be larger. The end of the annular seat 11 close to the second reference frame 122 is connected to the slip ring bearing 102, and the end of the annular seat 11 connected to the slip ring bearing 102 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes at intervals, and is connected to the slip ring bearing 102 through the plurality of threaded holes. In order to ensure the rigidity and strength of the annular seat 11, a convex rib 13 extending from the first reference frame 121 to the end of the annular seat 11 corresponding to it is provided on the annular seat 11.

[0100] The rotating device for a CT detector provided in this embodiment adopts a highly integrated cast connection seat 1, and directly mounts the radiation source 4, the electric control integrated component 5 and the cooling component 6 on the connection frame 12, minimizes the number of adapters, reduces the number and types of mounting parts, and realizes the lightweight design of the rotating device 300. Correspondingly, the load of the slip ring bearing 102 and the bracket 101 in the fixing device 100 of the CT detector using the above-mentioned rotating device 300 is reduced, and the driving device 200 can also select a driving motor 201 with a smaller power, thereby realizing the lightweight design of the CT detector and greatly reducing the cost of the CT detector.

[0101] The CT detection machine provided in this embodiment uses the above-mentioned rotating device of the CT detection machine, which is not only easy to process and manufacture, but also can ensure the rigidity and strength of the rotating device 300; and is applicable to designs with standard arcs and non-standard arcs in the detection light path, has better versatility, and reduces the cost of the CT detection machine.

[0105] In this embodiment, the second mounting bosses 1252 are disposed on the end surfaces of the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122. To facilitate the installation of the radiation source 4, the end surfaces of the first reference frame 121 and the second reference frame 122 between the two first mounting bosses 1251 are processed into a horizontal surface.
