Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radiation shielding, and in particular to a radiation shielding device for security inspection CT. Background Art

[0002] In today's society, with the continuous development of security inspection technology, security inspection CT equipment is widely used in public places such as airports, customs, and stations to conduct security inspections on luggage, cargo, etc. to ensure public safety.

[0003] However, during the operation of security CT equipment, radiation safety issues cannot be ignored. In addition to ensuring that the equipment can accurately collect CT data and achieve efficient security inspection functions, protecting people outside the equipment from radiation hazards has become a key issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the security CT field.

[0004] Currently, there are two main solutions for radiation shielding of security CT equipment: setting shielding materials in the equipment casing and setting shielding materials in the entire X-ray optical path space from the emission of the rays to the reception by the detector. However, both solutions have obvious limitations.

[0005] While shielding materials applied to the equipment casing can block radiation leakage to a certain extent, they require a significant amount of material. For example, large-scale security CT equipment used at airports often requires extensive, thick layers of lead or other shielding materials to achieve effective shielding. This not only significantly increases equipment costs, raising the cost of a single unit by tens of thousands of yuan or more, but also significantly increases the weight of the equipment. Installation, commissioning, and routine maintenance of this heavy equipment require specialized lifting equipment and significant manpower, making operation difficult and inconvenient to move. This also places high demands on the installation site's load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, the increased weight of the equipment affects operational stability and increases energy consumption, significantly increasing operating costs in the long term.

[0006] While setting shielding materials in the optical path space can theoretically reduce the amount of shielding materials used to a certain extent and more effectively absorb the rays leaking out of the device, it faces many challenges in practical applications. On the one hand, how to accurately approach the optical path space to ensure effective absorption of rays while reducing the amount of shielding materials is a complex technical problem. The ray propagation path of the security inspection CT device is affected by various factors, such as the shape, density, and material of the object being detected. These factors make the scattering of rays in the optical path space extremely complex. Taking various goods inspected at customs as an example, the diversity of goods makes the scattering angle and intensity of rays changeable. It is very difficult for the existing shielding material layout to completely cover all possible ray leakage paths. Even if the thickness of the shielding material is increased by focusing on shielding some key parts, it is difficult to ensure effective blocking of ray leakage under various complex conditions. On the other hand, while ensuring effective enclosure of the ray space, ensuring no ray leakage at the joints with other components is another major problem. The internal structure of the security inspection CT device is complex, and each component will have small displacements due to factors such as vibration and temperature changes during operation. This makes it easy for gaps to appear at the joints between the shielding materials and other components. For example, at the connection between the rotating components and the shielding structure of the device, due to long-term relative movement, the joints of the shielding materials are extremely prone to loosening, resulting in ray leakage. Once ray leakage occurs, it will not only pose a potential threat to the physical health of device operators and surrounding personnel, but may also trigger public concerns about the safety of security inspection work, affecting the normal development of security inspection work.

[0007] In addition, from the perspective of manufacturing and assembly, the scheme of setting shielding materials in the optical path space has extremely high requirements for manufacturing processes and assembly accuracy. During the manufacturing process, the shape and size of the shielding materials need to be precisely processed to enable them to fit tightly with the optical path space, and precise docking between the shielding components needs to be ensured during assembly. However, in large-scale production, it is very difficult to ensure that each shielding component can meet such high accuracy requirements, which leads to uneven product quality. Moreover, the complex manufacturing and assembly processes require a large number of skilled technical workers to participate, consuming a large amount of time and energy, increasing the production cost. At the same time, due to the great difficulty in assembly, once the assembly is improper, the shielding effect will be greatly reduced, seriously affecting the radiation protection performance of the device.

[0008] In summary, there are many problems with the existing radiation shielding schemes for security inspection CTs, which cannot meet the growing security inspection requirements and strict radiation safety standards. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a radiation shielding device that can effectively enclose the ray space, reduce ray leakage, is easy to manufacture and assemble, and can reduce the cost and weight of the device. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention proposes a radiation shielding device for security inspection CT.

[0010] The present invention proposes a radiation shielding device for security CT scans, comprising a rotating body with an inner hole in the center. A rotating bracket and a detector are mounted on one end surface of the rotating body, arranged vertically. A shielding tube is mounted in the inner hole of the rotating body. The shielding tube is assembled and connected to the rotating bracket and the detector, with both ends of the shielding tube being connected to an external channel. A radiation source assembly is mounted on the upper end of the rotating bracket. Radiation is emitted into the shielding tube through the radiation source assembly, and the radiation signals are received by the detector.

[0011] The upper and lower surfaces of the shielding tube are respectively provided with a short arc-shaped opening and a long arc-shaped opening for the entry and exit of radiation. The upper surface of the shielding tube has a bell mouth that interfaces with the rotating bracket. The top opening of the bell mouth is smaller than the bottom opening, and the top opening of the bell mouth has a rounded portion that interfaces with the radiation source assembly. The fan-shaped radiation emitted by the radiation source assembly is received through the bell mouth and the radiation is prevented from leaking outward.

[0012] Both sides of the shielding tube have outwardly extending extensions, which are symmetrically arranged on the two side edges of the long arc opening to form a first figure-eight opening. In the axial direction, the first figure-eight opening is opposite to the short arc opening, and the width of the first figure-eight opening is greater than that of the short arc opening. The fan-shaped rays emitted from the horn mouth are gathered to the long arc opening through the first figure-eight opening and received by the detector.

[0013] The rotating body is the core load-bearing component of the entire device and provides an installation foundation for other components. The rotating bracket and detector are installed on the upper and lower end faces of one side of the rotating body, respectively used to support the radiation source component and receive radiation signals. The shielding tube is installed in the inner hole of the rotating body, and its two ends are connected to the external channel. It is a key part of radiation shielding. The short arc opening and the long arc opening are the channels for radiation to enter and exit respectively. Reasonable design of the opening shape and position can ensure the effective transmission of radiation and reduce the risk of leakage.

[0014] The trumpet mouth is docked with the radiation source assembly. Its special shape (small opening at the top and large opening at the bottom) and the circular design can effectively change the propagation direction of the radiation when receiving fan-shaped radiation, confine the radiation within the shielding tube, and prevent the radiation from leaking outward. The extensions on both sides of the shielding tube form a first figure eight opening. Taking advantage of the fact that its width is greater than the short arc opening and it is axially opposite to the short arc opening, the fan-shaped radiation that may be emitted from the trumpet mouth is converged to the long arc opening, allowing the detector to receive the radiation more effectively, improving the utilization rate of the radiation, and further preventing the radiation from leaking to the external environment to ensure personnel safety.

[0015] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the rotating bracket includes a bracket body. The upper end of the bracket body has a second eight-shaped opening adapted to the bell mouth, and the opening of the second eight-shaped opening extends upward to form a bracket loop protrusion. The upper end surface of the rotating bracket has a bracket loop groove located outside the bracket loop protrusion to form a U-shaped interface for docking with the radiation source assembly;

[0016] The bracket body is the main structure of the rotating bracket, providing installation and support for other components. The second eight-shaped opening is adapted to the bell mouth on the shielding cylinder, and the two fit tightly, which helps with accurate positioning and connection, ensuring the accuracy of the radiation transmission path. The upward-extending bracket loop protrusion and the bracket loop groove located outside it together form a U-shaped interface. When docking with the radiation source assembly, it can not only achieve stable connection but also further optimize the radiation transmission space, reduce the risk of radiation leakage at the interface, ensure that the radiation emitted by the radiation source assembly can accurately enter the shielding cylinder, and improve the overall performance of the radiation shielding device.

[0017] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the shielding cylinder includes an upper shielding component, a lower shielding component, a front shielding component, a rear shielding component, and a slit ring. The upper shielding component and the lower shielding component are respectively installed on the inner walls of the rotating bracket and the detector, and the upper shielding component and the lower shielding component are assembled with each other. The front shielding component is installed on the front end faces of the rotating bracket and the detector, and the docking seams of the upper shielding component, the lower shielding component, and the front shielding component are covered by the slit ring. The rear shielding component is installed in the inner hole of the rotating body and is lap-mounted with the rear edges of the upper shielding component and the lower shielding component;

[0018] The upper shielding component and the lower shielding component are respectively installed on the inner walls of the rotating bracket and the detector, jointly shielding the radiation. The two are assembled with each other to form a first radiation channel, effectively blocking the leakage of radiation from the gap between the rotating bracket and the detector. The front shielding component is installed on the front end face to prevent radiation from leaking from the front end of the device; the rear shielding component is installed at the rear end to block the leakage of radiation from parts such as the pulley, bearing, and slip ring at the rear end. The slit ring covers the docking seams of each component, further preventing radiation from leaking out through the gaps. These components work together to fully enclose the radiation transmission space, greatly improving the radiation shielding effect.

[0019] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the upper shielding component includes a semicircular matrix shielding layer, a bell-mouth-shaped opening shielding layer, and a loop-shaped top shielding layer. The matrix shielding layer is covered and installed on the inner wall of the rotating bracket. A short arc-shaped opening is opened at the top of the matrix shielding layer. The opening shielding layer is installed on the upper surface of the matrix shielding layer and covers the outside of the short arc-shaped opening. The top shielding layer is installed at the upper end opening of the opening shielding layer;

[0020] The matrix shielding layer covers the inner wall of the rotating bracket and has an absorption effect on the scattered rays with low energy after multiple scatterings. Its semi-circular arc design fits the inner wall of the rotating bracket to ensure the integrity of shielding. The short arc opening is provided at the top of the matrix shielding layer and is the key channel for the rays to enter. The opening shielding layer is in a flared shape and covers the outside of the short arc opening. Its relatively large thickness (5 - 10 mm) can absorb the strong rays directly emitted from the ray source, further protecting the external environment from strong radiation. The top shielding layer is in a loop structure and is installed at the upper opening of the opening shielding layer, docking with the loop groove at the lower part of the ray source assembly, and can effectively absorb the low-energy scattered rays after multiple refractions. The three-layer structure works together to improve the shielding ability of the upper shielding component for rays with different energies.

[0021] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, a first reinforcing layer located around the short arc opening is installed on the lower surface of the matrix shielding layer. Outer convex extension parts are provided on the inner side surfaces at both ends of the matrix shielding layer, and the two extension parts are symmetrical to form a third inverted-V opening. A second reinforcing layer is installed on the inner wall of the third inverted-V opening;

[0022] Near the short arc opening, the ray energy is relatively high, and it is difficult to completely absorb only by the matrix shielding layer. The first reinforcing layer is installed on the lower surface of the matrix shielding layer around the short arc opening, increasing the shielding ability of this area and covering the joint between the opening shielding layer and the matrix shielding layer to prevent the rays from leaking from the joint. X-ray direct rays pass through the third inverted-V opening at the inner side surfaces at both ends of the matrix shielding layer, and the intensity of the scattered rays is relatively high. The second reinforcing layer is installed on the inner wall of the third inverted-V opening and can effectively absorb the direct rays and scattered rays here, further improving the shielding effect and ensuring the reliability of the entire shielding device.

[0023] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the detector includes a detector body installed at the lower end of the inner hole of the rotating body and in a semi-circular ring shape. The detector body has a detector opening, and the inner arc surface of the detector body is divided into a detector first inner arc surface and a detector second inner arc surface through the detector opening. The top edges at both ends of the detector body sink to form detector step parts. The lower shielding component is covered and installed on the outer surfaces of the detector first inner arc surface, the detector second inner arc surface, and the detector step parts, and the shape of the lower shielding component is consistent with the inner arc surface and the top of the detector body;

[0024] The detector body is semi-circular ring-shaped and is installed at the lower end of the inner hole of the rotator. The opening of the detector is used to distinguish the first inner arc surface and the second inner arc surface of the detector, providing different detection areas for receiving rays. The design of the detector step facilitates docking with the lower shielding component. The lower shielding component covers the relevant surfaces of the detector body and has a matching shape, enabling it to fit closely, effectively shielding the rays inside the detector to prevent their leakage, while ensuring the accuracy of the detector in receiving rays and avoiding interference from external rays to the normal operation of the detector.

[0025] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the lower shielding component is provided with a long arc-shaped opening consistent with the detector opening. The long arc-shaped opening divides the lower shielding component into a first inner arc surface and a second inner arc surface of the lower shielding. The first inner arc surface and the second inner arc surface of the lower shielding respectively correspond to the first inner arc surface and the second inner arc surface of the detector. Both ends of the lower shielding component have lower shielding step parts, and the lower shielding step parts correspond to and are snap-fitted with the detector step parts;

[0026] The long arc-shaped opening on the lower shielding component is consistent with the detector opening, ensuring that the rays can smoothly enter the detector. The first inner arc surface and the second inner arc surface of the lower shielding respectively correspond to the two inner arc surfaces of the detector, further optimizing the shielding and guiding of the rays, ensuring the accuracy of the ray signals received by the detector. The lower shielding step parts are snap-fitted with the detector step parts, enhancing the stability of the connection between the two. On the one hand, the lower shielding step parts can absorb the rays inside the detector, and on the other hand, they are docked with the U-shaped groove at the bottom of the matrix shielding layer to form a first ray channel, enabling the rays to be refracted and absorbed multiple times in the channel, improving the absorption efficiency of scattered rays and reducing ray leakage.

[0027] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the front shielding component includes a support plate installed on the rotating bracket and the front end face of the detector. A support ring coaxial and of the same diameter as the support plate is installed on the support plate, and a protective ring is installed on the inner wall of the support ring;

[0028] The support plate and the support ring provide installation support for the protective ring. They are made of materials with good strength and processability, such as steel, aluminum, engineering plastics, etc., ensuring the structural stability of the front shielding component. The protective ring is made of shielding material and is installed on the inner wall of the support ring to directly shield the rays. This structural design effectively blocks the leakage of rays from the front end faces of the rotating bracket and the detector while ensuring the structural strength, protecting the front-end equipment and personnel from radiation hazards.

[0029] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the rear shielding component includes an upper semi-circular body and a lower semi-circular body with equal radian; the upper semi-circular body includes an upper support ring and an upper protective ring covering and installed on the inner wall of the upper support ring, and the front end of the upper support ring extends to the outside of the upper protective ring to form an upper skirt edge for docking with the upper shielding component; the lower semi-circular body includes a lower support ring and a lower protective ring covering and installed on the inner wall of the lower support ring, and the front end of the lower support ring extends to the outside of the lower protective ring to form a lower skirt edge for docking with the lower shielding component; both sides of the upper protective ring extend to the outside of both ends of the upper support ring to form a circumferential skirt edge. When the upper semi-circular body and the lower semi-circular body are spliced, the circumferential skirt edge overlaps on the inner surface of the lower protective ring to prevent ray leakage at the docking place;

[0030] The rear shielding component adopts an upper and lower semi-circular body design, which is convenient for manufacturing and installation, can better ensure the coaxiality and roundness with other components, and reduce the risk of ray leakage. The upper support ring and the lower support ring provide a support structure for the upper protective ring and the lower protective ring. They are made of materials with good strength and processability. The upper protective ring and the lower protective ring adopt shielding materials to directly shield the rays. The upper skirt edge and the lower skirt edge are respectively docked with the upper shielding component and the lower shielding component. The circumferential skirt edge overlaps on the inner surface of the lower protective ring when the upper and lower semi-circular bodies are spliced. The multiple skirt edge structures effectively prevent ray leakage at the docking place and protect the safety of the rear-end equipment and personnel in all directions.

[0031] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, multiple rows of mounting holes distributed circumferentially are opened on the inner walls of the upper semi-circular body and the lower semi-circular body. The upper semi-circular body and the lower semi-circular body are fixed to the inner wall of the inner hole of the rotating body by screws, and a shield plate covering the opening of the mounting hole is installed on the inner walls of the upper semi-circular body and the lower semi-circular body;

[0032] The mounting holes are designed as long strip holes distributed in multiple rows circumferentially, which is convenient for the installation of the rear shielding component and the rotating body. Even if there is a certain circumferential error in the hole positions, the installation can still be completed, reducing the manufacturing precision requirements. The screws pass through the mounting holes to fix the rear shielding component to the inner wall of the inner hole of the rotating body. The shield plate is installed at the opening of the mounting hole and adopts a shielding material to prevent ray leakage from the mounting hole, further improving the safety and reliability of the radiation shielding device.

[0033] The radiation shielding device for security inspection CT proposed by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] (1) Through the unique design of the shielding cylinder, the flared opening is docked with the radiation source assembly, effectively receiving the fan-shaped radiation and preventing its leakage. The first eight-shaped openings on both sides of the shielding cylinder converge the possibly emitted fan-shaped radiation to the long arc-shaped opening for the detector to receive, greatly improving the absorption rate of the leaked radiation, ensuring that the radiation is effectively enclosed inside the device and hardly leaks to the external environment, greatly reducing the radiation hazard to equipment operators and surrounding personnel, protecting the physical health of personnel, eliminating the public's concern about the safety of security inspection work, and providing a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of security inspection work;

[0035] (2) The shielding materials required for this device are less. By optimizing the structure of the shielding cylinder and the radiation transmission path, while ensuring high-efficiency shielding effect, the usage amount of shielding materials is reduced. This not only reduces the manufacturing cost of the device, but also lightens the weight of the device, making it unnecessary to rely on large lifting equipment and a large amount of manpower during installation, debugging, and daily maintenance, reducing the operation difficulty, reducing the requirements for the bearing capacity of the installation site, while improving the stability of the device operation, reducing energy consumption and operation cost;

[0036] (3) The structure of this device is reasonably designed. Each component, such as the upper shielding component, lower shielding component, front shielding component, rear shielding component, etc. of the shielding cylinder, as well as the rotating bracket, detector, etc., all adopt structures that are convenient for manufacturing and assembly, making it easier to control the product quality, improving production efficiency, and reducing production cost;

[0037] (4) Through the multi-layer shielding structure and special opening design, this device can adapt to complex ray scattering situations. For example, the upper shielding component of the shielding cylinder consists of a matrix shielding layer, an opening shielding layer, and a top shielding layer, which respectively absorb rays of different energies; the second strengthening layers at both ends of the matrix shielding layer and the lower shielding step part of the lower shielding component effectively absorb direct rays and scattered rays in specific areas. Each component cooperates closely to comprehensively enclose the radiation transmission space, ensuring that ray leakage can be effectively blocked in various complex situations, and improving the reliability and stability of the shielding device;

[0038] (5) The radiation transmission path of this device has been optimized. The reasonable setting of the short arc-shaped opening and the long arc-shaped opening, as well as the coordinated action of structures such as the flared opening and the first eight-shaped opening, ensure that the radiation can be accurately and efficiently transmitted to the detector. At the same time, the close cooperation between the detector and the shielding component reduces the interference of external rays on the detector, ensuring the accuracy of the detector receiving ray signals, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the security inspection CT equipment, helping to more accurately detect items such as luggage and goods, and improving the quality and efficiency of security inspection work.

[0039] The additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be partially given in the following description, partially become obvious from the following description, or be understood through the practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0074] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar symbols represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0075] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, a radiation shielding device for security inspection CT includes a rotating body 1 with an inner hole at the center. A rotating bracket 2 and a detector 3 are installed on one end face of the rotating body 1 in an up-and-down distribution. A shielding cylinder 4 is installed in the inner hole of the rotating body 1. The shielding cylinder 4 is assembled and connected with the rotating bracket 2 and the detector 3, and both ends of the shielding cylinder 4 are used to dock with external channels. A radiation source assembly 5 is installed at the upper end of the rotating bracket 2. Rays are emitted into the shielding cylinder 4 through the radiation source assembly 5, and the detector 3 receives the ray signals.

[0076] The upper surface and the lower surface of the shielding cylinder 4 are respectively provided with a short arc-shaped opening 9 and a long arc-shaped opening 10 for the ray to enter and exit. The upper surface of the shielding cylinder 4 has a bell mouth docked with the rotating bracket 2. The bell mouth is composed of two arc-shaped flat plates and two bending plates, forming a bell-shaped structure, that is, the top opening is smaller than the bottom opening. The arc-shaped flat plates are perpendicular to the axial direction, and the bending plates are parallel to the axial direction. The top opening of the bell mouth is smaller than the bottom opening, and the top opening of the bell mouth has a return part docked with the ray source assembly 5. The fan-shaped ray emitted by the ray source assembly 5 is received through the bell mouth and the ray leakage is prevented;

[0077] The return part is a rectangular ring-shaped plane formed by extending the upper opening edge of the top bell mouth along the plane direction. The outer edge of the plane is turned down to form a ring-shaped structure with an L-shaped cross-section, which is used to dock the ray source assembly 5 and leave a certain gap to form a ray channel with a U-shaped cross-section, which not only ensures that the ray does not leak at the docking part, but also can realize the displacement adjustment of the ray source;

[0078] Both sides of the shielding cylinder 4 have extended parts extending outwards. The two extended parts are symmetrically arranged on both side edges of the long arc-shaped opening 10 to form a first eight-shaped opening. The extended part is composed of three flat plates, a rectangular flat plate and two approximately triangular flat plates. The two side edges of the long arc-shaped opening 10 are connected to the edge of the rectangular flat plate, and the two approximately triangular flat plates on both sides are connected to the arc-shaped edge of the long arc-shaped opening. Axially, the first eight-shaped opening is opposite to the short arc-shaped opening 9, and the width of the first eight-shaped opening is greater than the width of the short arc-shaped opening. The fan-shaped ray emitted from the bell mouth is closed to the long arc-shaped opening 10 through the first eight-shaped opening and received by the detector 3;

[0079] A first counterweight assembly 6, a second counterweight assembly 7, and a third counterweight assembly 8 are respectively installed on one side of the rotating bracket 2, the bottom of the circumferential surface of the detector 3, and the bottom of the end surface to balance the masses of the rotating components on the CT and the shielding cylinder 4 and ensure the dynamic balance accuracy of the CT rotation;

[0080] As Figure 23 shown, the first counterweight assembly 6, the second counterweight assembly 7, and the third counterweight assembly 8 all include a counterweight plate 15, a counterweight seat 28, and a screw 29. The number of screws 29 is two and they are symmetrically installed on the counterweight seat 28. Two long strip holes are symmetrically distributed on the counterweight plate 15. The counterweight plate 15 is sleeved on the two screws 29 through the long strip holes and fixed by nuts;

[0081] The counterweight plates 15 at the bottoms of the second counterweight assembly 7 and the third counterweight assembly 8 are rectangular, and the long holes formed therein can reduce the manufacturing and welding precision of the screw rods, facilitating assembly. The counterweight plate 15 on the first counterweight assembly 6 is convex, with long holes formed therein, and the long holes are longer than those of the bottom counterweight pieces, facilitating the axial movement of the counterweight plate 15 to adjust the center of gravity position in the axial direction of the counterweight plate 15 to achieve dynamic balance. When a large-distance adjustment of the center of gravity is required, due to the compact layout of the CT, simply moving the axial position of the counterweight piece will cause interference between the counterweight piece and the rotor bracket or the outer components. However, the convex design can make the center of gravity of the counterweight piece deviate to one side. When a large-range movement of the center of gravity position is required, the convex counterweight piece can be rotated 180°, so that the center of gravity can be adjusted over a large distance, and while leaving as much space as possible for other components, the dynamic balance accuracy required by the system can be achieved;

[0082] The shielding cylinder 4 includes an upper shielding assembly 41, a lower shielding assembly 42, a front shielding assembly 43, a rear shielding assembly 44, and a slit ring 45. The upper shielding assembly 41 and the lower shielding assembly 42 are respectively installed on the inner walls of the rotating bracket 2 and the detector 3, and the upper shielding assembly 41 and the lower shielding assembly 42 are assembled with each other. The front shielding assembly 43 is installed on the front end faces of the rotating bracket 2 and the detector 3, and the docking seams of the upper shielding assembly 41, the lower shielding assembly 42, and the front shielding assembly 43 are covered by the slit ring 45. The rear shielding assembly 44 is installed in the inner hole of the rotating body 1 and is lap-mounted with the rear edges of the upper shielding assembly 41 and the lower shielding assembly 42;

[0083] The inner wall of the rotating bracket 2 provides an attachment surface for the upper shielding assembly 41, and the inner arc surface of the detector 3 provides an attachment surface for the lower shielding assembly 42. Both the upper shielding assembly 41 and the lower shielding assembly 42 are made of materials that can shield X-rays (hereinafter referred to as shielding materials), preferably materials with a high atomic number and high density, such as lead;

[0084] The front shielding assembly 43 and the rear shielding assembly 44 are used to dock with the external channels and prevent the leakage of rays at parts such as the belt pulley, bearing, and slip ring at the rear end of the CT.

[0085] Specifically, as Figures 5 - 7 shown, the rotating bracket 2 includes a bracket body 201. The upper end of the bracket body 201 has a second eight-shaped opening 206 adapted to the bell mouth, and the opening of the second eight-shaped opening 206 extends upward to form a bracket loop-shaped protrusion 207. The upper end surface of the rotating bracket 2 has a bracket loop-shaped groove 208 located outside the bracket loop-shaped protrusion 207 to form a U-shaped interface for docking with the ray source assembly 5;

[0086] As Figure 5As shown, the bottoms of both sides of the bracket body 201 are flat and extend horizontally to form side flanges 203. A U-shaped groove 205 is formed on the bottom surface of the side flange 203, and the openings of the U-shaped grooves 205 on both sides face the inside of the bracket body 201;

[0087] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, a pair of grooves 204 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the bracket body 201. The grooves 204 are connected to the opening edges of the U-shaped grooves 205. The axial center plane of the grooves 204 is aligned with the axial center plane of the second eight-shaped opening 206. The grooves 204 are used to avoid the ray beam. The ray optical path is a conical beam, so the top opening and the side wall opening are in an eight-shaped shape to ensure that the beam passing through this place is effectively received by the detector;

[0088] As Figure 5 shown, a side boss 202 is provided on the outer surface side wall of the bracket body 201. The top surface of the side boss 202 is flat and parallel to the axis. The normal plane of the side boss 202 passes through the rotation center, and the angle between the normal plane and the axial center plane of the CT is α, and the value of α is 60 - 70°, which is used to assemble the first counterweight assembly 6.

[0089] Specifically, as Figures 8 - 12 shown, the upper shielding component 41 includes a semicircular arc-shaped matrix shielding layer 411, a flared opening shielding layer 412, and a U-shaped top shielding layer 413. The matrix shielding layer 411 is covered and installed on the inner wall of the rotating bracket 2. A short arc-shaped opening 9 is opened at the top of the matrix shielding layer 411. The opening shielding layer 412 is installed on the upper surface of the matrix shielding layer 411 and covers the outside of the short arc-shaped opening 9. The top shielding layer 413 is installed at the upper end opening of the opening shielding layer 412;

[0090] The matrix shielding layer 411 covers the inner wall of the bracket body 201, the grooves 204, the U-shaped grooves 205, and the lower surface of the side flanges 203, and the shape of the matrix shielding layer 411 is consistent with the inner surface of the bracket body 201. The thickness of the matrix shielding layer 411 is 3 - 5 mm, which is used to absorb scattered rays with lower energy;

[0091] The opening shielding layer 412 covers the inner wall of the second eight-shaped opening 206, enclosing a flared structure, with a flat opening at the upper part and an arc-shaped opening at the lower part. The arc-shaped opening is connected to the short arc-shaped opening 9 on the upper surface of the matrix shielding layer 411. The thickness of the opening shielding layer 412 is 5 - 10 mm, which is used to absorb strong rays;

[0092] The top shielding layer 413 is in a loop structure with an L-shaped cross-section. The thickness of the top shielding layer 413 is 1 - 3 mm. The top shielding layer 413 is buckled on the top surface and the outer side wall of the loop-shaped protrusion 207 of the bracket. The top shielding layer 413 is docked with the loop-shaped groove at the lower part of the radiation source assembly 5 to form a channel with a U-shaped cross-section for absorbing the low-energy scattered rays that have undergone multiple refractions;

[0093] Further, as Figure 9 shown, a first strengthening layer 414 located outside the short arc opening 9 is installed on the lower surface of the matrix shielding layer 411. The thickness of the first strengthening layer 414 is 2 - 4 mm. The first strengthening layer 414 is in an arc-shaped rectangular ring structure, and the inner edges on both sides are provided with flanges, and it covers the joint between the opening shielding layer 412 and the matrix shielding layer 411. The outer arc curvature of the first strengthening layer 414 is the same as the inner arc surface of the matrix shielding layer 411. The opening edge of the first strengthening layer 414 is flush with the inner wall of the opening shielding layer 412 in the axial direction. The flanges on both sides of the first strengthening layer 414 extend upward and fit on the bottom of the inner walls of the two beveled sides of the opening shielding layer 412. The scattered ray energy near the top opening of the matrix shielding layer 411 is relatively high, and only using the matrix shielding layer 411 cannot effectively absorb the rays. Therefore, a first strengthening layer 414 is added near the opening to increase the ray absorption capacity near the opening. In addition, the first strengthening layer 414 can cover the joint between the opening shielding layer 412 and the matrix shielding layer 411 to prevent the rays from leaking from the joint;

[0094] On the inner side surfaces at both ends of the matrix shielding layer 411, outwardly protruding extension parts are provided, and the two extension parts are symmetrical to form a third beveled opening, and a second strengthening layer 415 is installed on the inner wall of the third beveled opening;

[0095] As Figure 10 shown, the thickness of the second strengthening layer 415 is 2 - 4 mm. The second strengthening layer 415 is composed of a bottom plate 4151, an arc-shaped flange 4152, and an inclined flange 4153. The bottom plate 4151 covers the inner wall of the third beveled opening of the matrix shielding layer 411. There is an arc-shaped flange 4152 on one side of the bottom plate 4151, and there is an inverted U-shaped opening in the middle of the arc-shaped flange 4152. The arc-shaped flange 4152 fits with the inner wall of the matrix shielding layer 411. There is an inclined flange 4153 at the edge of the notch of the bottom plate 4151, and the inclined flange 4153 fits with the inner wall inclined surface of the third beveled opening. The X-ray direct rays pass through the third beveled opening, and the scattered ray intensity at this place is relatively high. Therefore, second strengthening layers 415 need to be installed on both sides of the matrix shielding layer 411 to absorb the direct rays and scattered rays at this place.

[0096] Specifically, as Figure 13As shown in the figure, the detector 3 includes a detector body 301 which is semicircular ring-shaped and installed at the lower end of the inner hole of the rotating body 1. The detector body 301 has a detector opening, and the detector opening is opposite to the third eight-shaped opening on the inner side of the matrix shielding layer 411. Through the detector opening, the inner arc surface of the detector body 301 is divided into a detector first inner arc surface 302 and a detector second inner arc surface 303. The top edges at both ends of the detector body 301 sink to form a detector step portion 304. The ends of the detector first inner arc surface 302 and the detector second inner arc surface 303 are connected to the top of the detector body 301. U-shaped openings are formed on the top planes on both sides of the detector body 301. The lower shielding component 42 is covered and installed on the outer surfaces of the detector first inner arc surface 302, the detector second inner arc surface 303 and the detector step portion 304. The thickness of the lower shielding component 42 is 2-4 mm, and the shape of the lower shielding component 42 is consistent with the inner arc surface and the top of the detector body 301;

[0097] The detector first inner arc surface 302, the detector second inner arc surface 303 and the inner arc surface of the bracket body 201 are coaxial and also coincide with the CT rotation axis;

[0098] There are multiple positioning holes distributed along the circumference on the front surface of the detector body 301 for installing the front shielding component 43; there are two positioning holes near the bottom for installing the second counterweight component 7;

[0099] Further, a long arc-shaped opening 10 consistent with the detector opening is formed on the lower shielding component 42. The long arc-shaped opening 10 divides the lower shielding component 42 into a lower shielding first inner arc surface 421 and a lower shielding second inner arc surface 422. The lower shielding first inner arc surface 421 and the lower shielding second inner arc surface 422 correspond to the detector first inner arc surface 302 and the detector second inner arc surface 303 respectively. Both ends of the lower shielding component 42 have lower shielding step portions 423, and the lower shielding step portions 423 correspond to and are snap-fitted with the detector step portion 304;

[0100] As Figure 14 shown, the lower shielding first inner arc surface 421 and the lower shielding second inner arc surface 422 are used to absorb the stronger scattered rays at the edge of the light beam. The lower shielding step portion 423 is used to dock with the U-shaped groove at the bottom of the matrix shielding layer 411 to form a first ray channel 14. The gap between the two second strengthening layers 415 and the adjacent lower shielding step portion 423 is 0.5-3 mm. The first ray channel 14 is L-shaped, which can make the rays refract and be absorbed multiple times. And the smaller the channel gap, the more times the scattered rays refract and the more rays are absorbed by the inner wall. And this docking surface is made of shielding material with relatively soft texture, which is not suitable as an assembly surface. Therefore, a certain gap must be provided to avoid interference of parts on this surface during assembly on other rigid surfaces. The gap here is relatively small, so the L-shaped ray channel can effectively absorb the scattered rays at this place;

[0101] The lower shielding step portion 423 is used to absorb the internal rays of the detector 3. Axially, the third octagonal opening inside the matrix shielding layer 411 is opposite to the long arc-shaped opening 10 on the lower shielding assembly 42, and the width of the long arc-shaped opening 10 is not less than the width of the third octagonal opening, so as to pass the X-rays and then be received by the detection plate in the detector body 301, thereby forming CT image data.

[0102] Specifically, as Figure 15 shown, the front shielding assembly 43 includes a support plate 431 installed on the front end faces of the rotating bracket 2 and the detector 3 and having a central hole. A support ring 432 coaxially centered and having the same diameter as the support plate 431 is installed on the support plate 431. A protective ring 433 is installed on the inner wall of the support ring 432. The support plate 431 and the support ring 432 are made of materials with good strength and processability, such as steel, aluminum, engineering plastics, etc., while the protective ring 433 is made of a shielding material;

[0103] There is a large circular hole in the center of the support plate 431, and there are multiple mounting holes at the edge. The mounting holes correspond one by one to the positioning holes on the front surface of the bracket body 201 and the front surface of the detector body 301, and are fastened with screws. The support ring 432 is circular and has the same diameter as the central circular hole of the support plate 431. The support plate 431 and the support ring 432 can be an integral structure or can be welded separately. The protective ring 433 covers the inner wall of the support ring 432, and the width of the protective ring 433 is equal to that of the support ring 432, and the thickness is 2 - 4 mm;

[0104] As Figure 16 shown, an annular shielding seam ring 45 is provided at the docking part of the front shielding assembly 43 with the upper shielding assembly 41 and the lower shielding assembly 42 to cover the docking seams of the front shielding assembly 43 with the upper shielding assembly 41 and the lower shielding assembly 42 and prevent rays from leaking from the seams. The shielding seam ring 45 is made of a shielding material, with a width of 15 - 30 mm and a wall thickness of 1 - 3 mm. The shielding seam ring 45 can be an integral body or can be assembled in multiple segments.

[0105] Specifically, as Figure 17 and Figure 18 shown, the rear shielding assembly 44 includes an upper semi-circle body and a lower semi-circle body with equal arcs;

[0106] The upper semi-circle body includes an upper support ring 441 and an upper protective ring 442 covering and installed on the inner wall of the upper support ring 441. The front end of the upper support ring 441 extends outside the upper protective ring 442 to form an upper skirt 443 for docking with the upper shielding assembly 41 to prevent rays from leaking at the docking part;

[0107] The lower semi-circular body includes a lower support ring 445 and a lower protective ring 446 covering and installed on the inner wall of the lower support ring 445. The front end of the lower support ring 445 extends to the outside of the lower protective ring 446 to form a lower skirt 447 that docks with the lower shielding component 42, preventing ray leakage at the docking location.

[0108] Both sides of the upper protective ring 442 extend to the outside of both ends of the upper support ring 441 to form a circumferential skirt 444. When the upper semi-circular body and the lower semi-circular body are spliced, the circumferential skirt 444 overlaps on the inner surface of the lower protective ring 446 to prevent ray leakage at the docking location.

[0109] Both the upper support ring 441 and the lower support ring 445 are made of materials with good strength and machinability, such as steel, aluminum, engineering plastics, etc. The upper protective ring 442 and the lower protective ring 446 are made of shielding materials with a thickness of 2 - 4 mm.

[0110] If the upper and lower semi-circular bodies are made as a whole, due to the large axial width of the rear shielding component 44, it is difficult to ensure the cylindricity during the machining process. After machining, it has a certain stiffness but poor cylindricity. After installation, it is impossible to ensure the coaxiality of the rear shielding component 44 with the upper shielding component 41 and the lower shielding component 42 well, making it difficult to ensure the gap with the external channel and causing a risk of ray leakage. Therefore, in this solution, the entire circular body is divided into upper and lower parts, which is convenient for manufacturing. Since the upper and lower circular bodies have a certain elasticity, they can better fit on the inner arc surface of the central circular hole of the rotating body 1. Thus, after assembly, the circularity of the circular body at the docking location between the rear shielding component 44 and the external channel is better, and the coaxiality with the upper shielding component 41 and the lower shielding component 42 is also better, and it can maintain the designed gap with the external channel, ensuring a certain rotational gap while avoiding ray leakage.

[0111] Further, as Figures 17 - 19 shown, multiple columns of circumferentially distributed mounting holes 16 are provided on the inner walls of the upper and lower semi-circular bodies. The upper and lower semi-circular bodies are fixed to the inner wall of the inner hole of the rotating body 1 by screws 17, and a cover plate 18 covering the openings of the mounting holes 16 is installed on the inner walls of the upper and lower semi-circular bodies.

[0112] The mounting holes 16 are in the shape of long slots, and the length direction of the holes is circumferential. The diameters of the mounting holes 16 on the upper protective ring 442 and the lower protective ring 446 are larger than those of the mounting holes 16 on the upper support ring 441 and the lower support ring 445 to avoid the heads of the screws 17 and facilitate the sinking of the heads of the screws 17 so that the heads of the screws 17 contact the upper support ring 441 and the lower support ring 445. Since the material of the protective ring is soft and prone to low-temperature creep, if the screws are directly locked on the protective ring, they are likely to become loose later.

[0113] The rotating body 1 is any rotating component in the shielding system, which can be a large pulley, a bearing or other rotating parts, or can be assembled by multiple rotating parts. Its characteristic structure is as follows: a large round hole is provided in the center, the inner diameter of the large round hole is the same as the outer diameter of the rear shielding component 44, two or more rows of screw holes are distributed along the circumference, and the positions of all screw holes correspond one by one to the positions of multiple mounting holes 16, so as to install the rear shielding component 44 in the inner hole of the rotating body 1. The mounting holes 16 are designed as long strip holes, which can enable the rear shielding component 44 to complete the installation even when there is a certain circumferential error in the hole positions, reducing the manufacturing precision requirements;

[0114] Further, on the inner surface of the rear shielding component 44, all mounting holes 16 are covered with a shielding plate 18. The shielding plate 18 is made of shielding material and has a thickness of 1-2 mm. After the rear shielding component 44 and the rotating body 1 are installed, the cover screw 17 and the mounting hole 16 are covered to prevent ray leakage at the mounting hole 16.

[0115] As Figure 21 and Figure 22 shown, the bottom of the ray source assembly 5 has a beam outlet 24, a ray source loop protrusion 25 and a ray source loop groove 26, and the surfaces of the beam outlet 24, the ray source loop protrusion 25 and the ray source loop groove 26 are all attached with shielding material. The shielding layer thickness of the ray source loop groove 26 is 2-4 mm. The top shielding layer 413 extends into the ray source loop groove 26 to form a second ray channel 27 with a U-shaped cross-section. The gap between the inner side wall of the ray source loop groove 26 and the top shielding layer 413 is 4-8 mm, the gap between the outer side wall of the ray source loop groove 26 and the top shielding layer 413 is 4-8 mm, and the gap between the bottom surface of the ray source loop groove 26 and the top shielding layer 413 is 0.5-2 mm. The non-contact docking between the upper shielding component 41 and the ray source assembly 5 can keep a certain gap between the upper shielding component 41 and the ray source assembly 5, so as to facilitate fine adjustment of the position of the ray source assembly 5. The U-shaped second ray channel 27 can make the ray refract multiple times and be absorbed by the ray channel. After passing through the U-shaped ray channel, the ray refracts more times and thus absorbs more rays.

[0116] As Figure 20As shown in the figure, the rotating body 1 is installed on the CT fixing bracket 19. The front shielding component 43 and the rear shielding component 44 are respectively docked with the first over-packaging channel 20 and the second over-packaging channel 21. A baffle 22 and a retaining ring 23 are installed on one side of the first over-packaging channel 20 and the second over-packaging channel 21 close to the rotating body 1. The openings of the front shielding component 43 and the rear shielding component 44 are covered by the baffle 22, and the circumferential edges of the openings of the front shielding component 43 and the rear shielding component 44 are covered by the retaining ring 23. Both the baffle 22 and the retaining ring 23 are attached with shielding materials, and the thickness of the shielding materials is 2-5 mm. The radial clearance between the retaining ring 23 and the front and rear shields, the axial clearance between the baffle 22 and the front and rear shields, and the overlapping depth between the retaining ring 23 and the front and rear shields are all 9-16 mm. This structure can leave a certain safety clearance with the channel when the CT rotates, and at the same time, the ray channel at the overlapping part can effectively absorb the scattered rays leaked at the docking part.

Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent replacements or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
