Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a split-type X-ray machine, and more particularly to an adaptive flexible connection device and connection method for a split-type X-ray machine. Background Technology

[0002] Split-type X-ray machines can detect and diagnose internal faults in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) in substations. During the inspection process, the split-type X-ray machine emits X-rays that penetrate the metal casing of the GIS equipment, providing radiographic imaging of the internal components. The split-type X-ray machine can achieve multi-directional radiographic imaging of the GIS equipment's interior, thereby accurately detecting internal fault points. The split-type X-ray machine mainly consists of an X-ray tube, a high-voltage generator, a controller, and detectors. These components are connected by a specific connection structure (such as flexible connecting cables) to form a complete inspection system. The flexible connection structure used in the split-type X-ray machine mainly consists of flexible connecting cables, connection interfaces, shielding components, and adjustment mechanisms.

[0003] During use, the detector needs to be moved to facilitate detection, therefore the connecting cable needs to be of sufficient length to accommodate this movement. This results in a relatively long cable, which is usually suspended from the ceiling by a rod after installation. This method causes the cable to bend in a wavy shape with a small bending radius. During use, the cable is frequently moved, unfolded, and reset, causing material fatigue damage at the bends. Furthermore, since the cable is mostly suspended without support, it experiences significant swaying when pulled, which in turn causes the detector to shake, affecting its operation and subsequent detection accuracy. The suspended cable, under the pull of gravity, not only causes the detector to shake during movement but also easily leads to loosening of the connection between the cable and the detector. Additionally, the cable may fold, twist, or become entangled and knotted after movement, resulting in further damage.

[0004] In summary, the technical problem that needs to be solved is how to design a split-type X-ray machine connection device that can prevent damage caused by easy folding, twisting, or tangling of cables during movement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art, which are easily damaged by folding, twisting or tangling of cables during movement, and to provide an adaptive flexible connection device and connection method for a split-type X-ray machine.

[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the device further includes a limiting baffle. The adjustment component includes a fixed bracket, on which a limiting rod is provided. The limiting baffle is movably connected to the limiting rod, and multiple sets of the sliding components form a moving pair with the fixed bracket and the limiting baffle.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the sliding component includes a first limiting block, a second limiting block, and a spring telescopic rod. The first limiting block is mounted on a fixed bracket, the second limiting block is mounted on a limiting baffle, and the two ends of the spring telescopic rod are respectively connected to the first limiting block and the second limiting block. The first limiting block and the second limiting block are arcs with the same curvature, and their surfaces are provided with grooves, in which the flexible cable is secured.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the fixed bracket is provided with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove that are parallel to each other, and the spring telescopic rod is perpendicular to both the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove; the spring telescopic rod is provided with a first sliding seat and a second sliding seat, the first sliding seat and the first sliding groove forming a sliding pair, and the second sliding seat and the second sliding groove forming a sliding pair.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the limiting baffle is provided with a third sliding groove parallel to the first and second sliding grooves, and the spring telescopic rod is also provided with a slider, which forms a sliding pair with the third sliding groove; the first limiting block and the second limiting block are both inclined in the direction of the detector assembly.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the spring telescopic rod includes a cylinder and a spring and a rod installed inside the cylinder. Each end of the spring is connected to a rod, and the rod and the cylinder form a sliding pair.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the adjustment component has a limiting hole on the side near the detector component, and the flexible cable passes through the limiting hole to connect to the detector component.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the reset component includes a connecting belt and a reset belt. The connecting belt connects two adjacent first sliding seats. One first sliding seat closer to the detector assembly is fixed on the adjustment assembly, and the other first sliding seat farther from the detector assembly is connected to the reset belt. The reset belt includes a traction belt and a winding machine. The winding machine is fixed on the adjustment assembly, the traction belt is connected to all the first sliding seats, and the winding machine is connected to the traction belt.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the detector assembly includes a sliding bracket, a main movable base, a telescopic bracket, a support base, and a flat panel detector; the main movable base is slidably mounted on the sliding bracket on one side, and the telescopic bracket is mounted on the opposite side, the telescopic bracket is connected to the support base, the flat panel detector is mounted on the support base, and the flat panel detector is electrically connected to a flexible cable.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, a connection method for an adaptive flexible connection device applied to a split-type X-ray machine is provided, specifically including the following steps:

[0017] Step S1: Install multiple sets of sliding parts on the adjustment assembly;

[0018] Step S2: The flexible cable starts from the sliding component near the detector assembly and is sequentially wound around multiple sets of sliding components;

[0019] Step S3: Install the detector assembly and adjustment assembly on the same side of the base;

[0020] Step S4: Connect the flexible cable to the detector assembly and power it on.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1) The flexible cable of the present invention is wrapped around multiple sets of sliding components to form a cable loop, so that the flexible cable can be supported as a whole and can be wrapped around without being suspended in the air, ensuring that the flexible cable will not be folded or bent, and the detector assembly can easily drive the flexible cable to move; the multiple sets of sliding components can also adjust the spacing to adapt to the diameter change of the cable loop when the flexible cable is pulled, so that the flat panel detector can operate smoothly while ensuring the stability of the flexible cable. Furthermore, based on the self-resetting function of the reset component, it can also ensure that the flexible cable can maintain its wrapped state for a long time without affecting long-term use and avoid folding and damage to the flexible cable.

[0023] 2) By setting a first sliding groove, a second sliding groove, and a third sliding groove on the adjusting component and the limiting baffle, and setting a first sliding seat, a second sliding seat, and a slider on the spring telescopic rod, the present invention ensures that all sliding components achieve synchronous length changes. This avoids asynchronous changes in the limiting component due to different forces on the flexible cable before and after the flexible cable is pulled by the flat plate detector. In this way, the flexible cable can be continuously guaranteed to be wrapped and kept in a cable loop state. In this state, the flexible cable is always subjected to the force of the limiting component and maintains a certain tension, thereby ensuring the positioning effect and stability of the flexible cable.

[0024] 3) The first and second limiting blocks of the present invention are both inclined in the direction of the detector assembly, which can better ensure the guidance of the flexible cable when it is stretched or tightened. The surfaces of the first and second limiting blocks are provided with grooves, which can effectively prevent it from falling off the first and second limiting blocks and losing its support and positioning effect. The adjusting component is provided with a limiting hole on the side close to the detector assembly, which can also guide the flexible cable and prevent the flexible cable from falling off the first and second limiting blocks.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an adaptive flexible connection device for a split-type X-ray machine, including a base, a detector assembly, an adjustment assembly 6, a limiting assembly 7, a limiting baffle 8, and a flexible cable 9.

[0036] An adjustment assembly 6 and a sliding detector assembly are installed on the same side of the base.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 6 includes a fixed bracket 61, and a pair of limiting rods 64 are provided at the bottom of the fixed bracket 61; the limiting baffle 8 is slidably sleeved on the pair of limiting rods 64. The fixed bracket 61 is provided with a first sliding groove 62 and a second sliding groove 63 arranged in the same direction at intervals.

[0038] By setting the first slide groove 62 and the second slide groove 63, the first sliding seat 71 and the second sliding seat 75 can slide smoothly. The setting of the limiting rod 64 facilitates the up and down sliding of the limiting baffle 8, so that the second limiting block 77 can move up and down synchronously when it is tightened and squeezed by the flexible cable 9 or when the length of the spring telescopic rod 76 changes.

[0039] By setting the adjustment component 6, the limiting component 7 and the limiting baffle 8 are limited and constrained. This not only facilitates the support of the flexible cable 9, allowing the flat panel detector 5 to easily move the flexible cable 9, but also ensures that all limiting components 7 change length synchronously when the length of the limiting components changes. This avoids asynchronous length changes of the limiting components 7 due to different forces on the front and back of the flexible cable when the flexible cable 9 and the flat panel detector 5 are pulled. As a result, the flexible cable can be continuously wrapped and kept in a coiled state. In this state, the flexible cable is always subjected to the force of the limiting component 7 and the adjustment component 6, maintaining a uniform tension, thereby ensuring the positioning effect and stability of the flexible cable 9.

[0040] The limiting baffle 8 is connected to the adjusting component via a limiting rod, and a third sliding groove is provided on the limiting baffle 8.

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the limiting component 7 includes multiple sets of sliding components and a reset component. The multiple sets of sliding components are arranged in a row on the fixed bracket 61. The multiple sets of sliding components can slide on the fixed bracket 61 to adjust the distance between two sliding components. The sliding components can achieve self-reset and length adjustment through the reset component.

[0042] The sliding component includes a first limiting block 72, a second limiting block 77, and a spring telescopic rod 76. The first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 77 are both outwardly protruding arc-shaped bending structures with the same curvature, and the outer circumferential surfaces of both are concave arc-shaped grooves. When the flexible cable 9 is wrapped around the sliding component, the flexible cable 9 is at least partially positioned in the arc-shaped groove.

[0043] One end of the spring telescopic rod 76 extends out of the fixed bracket 61, and one end of the spring telescopic rod 76 is fixedly connected to the second limiting block 77, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first limiting block 72. The first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 77 are both inclined towards the detector assembly, so that all the first limiting blocks 72 and the second limiting blocks 77 are obliquely distributed along the winding direction of the flexible cable 9; the fixed bracket 61 is also provided with a limiting hole 65 on the side facing the detector assembly, and the flexible cable 9 is connected to the detector assembly after being wound around the limiting assembly 7 and passing through the limiting hole 65. The spring telescopic rod 76 is provided with a first sliding seat 71 and a second sliding seat 75 at intervals along its height direction. The first sliding seat 71 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 62, and the second sliding seat 75 is slidably connected in the second sliding groove 63. The telescopic end of the spring telescopic rod 76 is also connected to a slider 78, which is slidably connected to the third slide groove. The third slide groove, the first slide groove 62, and the second slide groove 63 are located at different heights of the spring telescopic rod 76, and are all oriented in the same direction and perpendicular to the height direction of the spring telescopic rod 76. Since one end of the spring telescopic rod 76 is connected to the limiting baffle 8, when the length of the spring telescopic rod 76 changes, the limiting baffle 8 slides along the limiting rod 64 to synchronize the length changes of all the limiting components 7.

[0044] The slider 78 and the third slide groove are designed so that the spring telescopic rod 76 can move without affecting the state of the limiting baffle 8. Under the action of the slider 78, the limiting baffle 8 can also move with the length of the spring telescopic rod 76. Furthermore, the third slide groove, the first slide groove 62 and the second slide groove 63 are located at different heights of the spring telescopic rod 76 and are set in the same direction. This ensures that the overall movement direction of the limiting components 7 is consistent and that the length change range of the limiting components is limited synchronously. This ensures the consistency and controllability of all limiting components 7 during operation. Moreover, the design of the third slide groove, the first slide groove 62 and the second slide groove 63 being perpendicular to the height direction of the spring telescopic rod 76 allows the length of the limiting components 7 to change synchronously while the flexible cable 9 is being pulled or reset, without the two affecting each other.

[0045] The spring telescopic rod 76 includes a cylinder, from the inside to the outside of which a spring and a rod are arranged sequentially. The rod extends out of the cylinder and its length extending out of the cylinder can be changed under the action of the spring. A slider 78 is fixedly connected to the rod, and a second limiting block 77 is fixedly connected to the end of the rod.

[0046] When the flexible cable 9 is pulled, after the first sliding seat 71 and the second sliding seat 75 are fully retracted, if the flexible cable 9 continues to be pulled, it will squeeze the second limiting block 77, causing the second limiting block 77 to squeeze the rod. The rod, as the telescopic end, is subjected to force and, under the action of the spring, changes its length extending out of the cylinder, causing it to retract into the cylinder. This shortens the overall length of the spring telescopic rod 76. When the force on the rod decreases or is no longer applied, the spring, under its elastic action, causes the rod to return to its initial state, extending the overall length of the spring telescopic rod 76 to its initial length. Thus, through the support and length change of the spring telescopic rod 76, the pulled end of the flexible cable 9 will not be directly tightened, but will be directly pulled out, thereby pulling the first sliding seat 71 and the second sliding seat 75 to retract, allowing the flexible cable 9 to directly retract horizontally. After the first sliding seat 71 and the second sliding seat 75 are fully retracted, if the flexible cable 9 continues to be pulled, it will tighten and squeeze the second limiting block 77, causing the second limiting block 77 to cause the length of the spring telescopic rod 76 to change. The overall structure operates smoothly and stably.

[0047] The flexible cable 9 is supported by a spring-loaded telescopic rod 76. The first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 77 are designed with an arc-shaped bending structure, which allows the flexible cable 9 to be spread apart by the first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 77, thus better maintaining the cable coil state. At the same time, the arc-shaped concave structure design can also better position the flexible cable 9 and better extend or retract in the required direction when pulled or reset, and provide a certain guiding effect. By setting the first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 77 to be obliquely distributed along the winding direction of the flexible cable 9, it can be ensured that the flexible cable 9 always forms a cable coil. The oblique setting of the cable coil by the first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 77 can better ensure its guidance when extending or tightening, better ensure the guiding and positioning function of the flexible cable 9, effectively prevent it from detaching from the first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 77 and losing its support and positioning effect, and at the same time ensure that the bent end of the flexible cable 9 will not fold, and ensure that the bent end will not suffer fatigue damage from repeated folding when the flexible cable 9 extends and retracts during movement.

[0048] When the detector assembly slides and tightens the flexible cable 9, the flexible cable 9 is under force, and the sliding parts slide closer to each other to shorten the overall length of the cable loop. At the same time, the limiting baffle 8 slides along the limiting rod to reduce the diameter of the cable loop. When the flexible cable 9 loses the tightening effect of the detector assembly, the spacing and length of the flexible cable 9 are reset under the self-resetting action of the reset part so that the length and diameter of the cable loop are reset to the initial state.

[0049] The flexible cable 9 is mounted on multiple sets of limiting components 7. When the detector assembly slides in conjunction with detection, the flexible cable 9 is subjected to changes in force. The multiple sets of limiting components 7 slide synchronously and change their spacing, so that the flexible cable 9 is always supported and positioned on the limiting components 7. Under the action of the limiting components 7, the cable coil of the flexible cable 9 automatically adapts to its stretched or relaxed state and undergoes uniform state changes. It can also automatically reset to the initial state and always maintain the coil state. This not only effectively supports the flexible cable 9 and ensures the flexible movement and adjustment of the flexible cable 9 when it is pulled, protecting the flexible cable 9, but also adaptively adjusts according to changes in tension. This not only provides good protection for the flexible cable 9, but also ensures the stability of the detector assembly during the sliding process.

[0050] The reset component includes a connecting belt and a reset belt 73. The reset belt 74 includes a traction belt and a retractor. The first sliding seats 71 of multiple sets of sliding components are all connected by the connecting belt 73. The first sliding seats 71 located at both ends are respectively configured as follows: the first sliding seat 71 on the side closer to the detector assembly is also fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 61 by the connecting belt 73, and the first sliding seat 71 on the side farther away from the detector assembly is connected to the reset belt 74. The retractor is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 61, and the traction belt is fixedly connected to the corresponding first sliding seat 71. The retractor is set on the fixed bracket 61 on the side closer to the detector assembly, and the traction belt extends along the lower part of the first sliding seat 71 to connect with the corresponding first sliding seat 71.

[0051] The rewinder has an automatic retraction function to automatically retract the reset tape 74. When the flexible cable 9 is pulled, multiple sets of limiting components 7 are subjected to force. Under the action of the connecting tape 73, the first sliding seats 71 move and can pull each other to change their spacing. When resetting, the multiple sets of limiting components 7 lose the force. At this time, the rewinder drives the reset tape 74 to reset, thereby pulling the limiting components 7 to their initial state in sequence through the connecting tape 73, realizing automatic reset. Furthermore, the design of the connecting tape 73 not only ensures the spacing adjustment of the limiting components 7, but also ensures that their spacing moves within the set range, keeping the interval between the first sliding seats 71 consistent, avoiding folding and twisting of the flexible cable 9 and keeping it neatly arranged.

[0052] In summary, this embodiment has a simple overall structure, long service life, and excellent stability and durability. In application, the main moving seat 2 moves the flat panel detector 5 via the telescopic bracket 3 and support seat 4. Simultaneously, the flat panel detector 5 pulls the flexible cable 9, causing it to be pulled out from the limiting hole 65. The flexible cable 9 then drives the first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 77 to move towards the limiting hole 65 until they converge. After the first sliding seat 71 and the second sliding seat 75 converge, the flexible cable 9 continues to tighten. The second limiting block 77 is pressed to move, causing the spring telescopic rod 76 to retract. When the main moving seat 2 drives the flat plate detector 5 to reset, the flexible cable 9 will lose the tension of the flat plate detector 5. At this time, the second sliding seat 75 will push the second limiting block 77 to move downward to retract part of the flexible cable 9. Then, the traction belt of the reset belt 74 pulls the first sliding seat 71, causing the flexible cable 9 to gradually open and reset. At the same time, the flexible cable 9 drives the second sliding seat 75 to reset through the second limiting block 77, thereby ensuring that the flexible cable 9 will not be twisted or folded during use.

[0053] After the first sliding seat 71 and the second sliding seat 75 have finished retracting, if it is necessary to continue pulling the flexible cable 9, the flexible cable 9 will tighten, thereby squeezing the second limiting block 77 to move upward and causing the spring telescopic rod to retract. The second limiting block 77 moves upward synchronously as a whole through the limiting baffle 8 and the slider 78. When the main moving seat 2 drives the flat plate detector 5 to reset, the flexible cable 9 will lose the tension of the flat plate detector 5. At this time, the second sliding seat 75 will push the second limiting block 77 to move downward to retract part of the flexible cable 9. Then, the traction belt of the reset belt 74 pulls the first sliding seat 71, causing the flexible cable 9 to gradually open and reset. At the same time, the flexible cable 9 drives the second sliding seat 75 to reset through the second limiting block 77, thereby ensuring that the flexible cable 9 will not be twisted or folded during use.

[0055] This embodiment provides an adaptive flexible connection device for a split-type X-ray machine, including a base, a detector assembly, an adjustment assembly 6, a limiting assembly 7, a limiting baffle 8, and a flexible cable 9.

[0056] Unlike Example 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detector assembly includes a sliding bracket 1 mounted on a carrier, a main moving seat 2 slidably connected to the sliding bracket 1, a telescopic bracket 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the main moving seat 2, a support seat 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic bracket 3, a flat panel detector 5 fixedly connected to the side of the support seat 4, and a flexible cable 9 electrically connected to the flat panel detector 5.

[0057] During testing, the flat panel detector 5 can be easily adjusted in position based on the sliding action of the main moving seat 2 within the sliding bracket 1, so as to adjust the illumination position and angle of the flat panel detector 5.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] This embodiment provides a connection method for an adaptive flexible connection device applied to a split-type X-ray machine, as detailed below:

[0060] Multiple sets of sliding components and reset components are arranged in a row inside the adjustment component 6. The multiple sets of sliding components are slidably installed inside the adjustment component 6 to adjust their respective spacing.

[0061] After the flexible cable 9 is connected to the detector assembly, it is wrapped around multiple sets of sliding parts to form a cable loop.

[0062] An adjustment assembly 6 and a sliding detector assembly are installed on the same side of the base;

[0063] Flexible cable 9 connects to the detector assembly and is powered on.

[0064] When the detector assembly slides, the limiting component 7 performs self-reset and length adjustment to satisfy the following respectively:

[0065] When the detector assembly slides and tightens the flexible cable 9, the flexible cable 9 is forced to compress the sliding parts to slide closer together, so as to shorten the overall length of the cable loop and simultaneously shorten the length of the sliding parts to reduce the diameter of the cable loop;

[0066] When the flexible cable 9 loses the tension of the detector assembly, the spacing and length of the flexible cable 9 are reset under the self-resetting action of the limiting component 7, so that the length and diameter of the cable loop are reset to the initial state.

[0067] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
