[0002] The CT machine for product inspection is a device that uses computer tomography technology to perform product inspection. It can perform three-dimensional scanning of products in a non-destructive way to obtain high-resolution internal structure information, thereby detecting product defects, foreign matter or other quality problems.

[0003] When existing products are scanned and tested with a CT machine, the X-ray source is driven by a rotating mechanism to rotate and scan around the product, so as to cooperate with the detector to diagnose the product scanning results. However, the X-ray source of existing equipment of this type is fixedly connected to the rotating output position of the rotating mechanism with a fixed structure. This setting makes it impossible to adjust the distance between the X-ray source and the product. Therefore, when scanning and testing products of different volumes, it is impossible to flexibly adjust the position of the X-ray source, which makes the adjustment of the X-ray source not flexible and the product scanning and testing operation not convenient enough.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] The utility model provides Figure 1-4 An adjustment mechanism shown includes a fixed base plate 1, a moving component for moving adjustment is arranged on the front side of the fixed base plate 1, and a connecting structure is arranged at the output end of the moving component;

[0022] Specifically, an L-shaped guard plate 101 is disposed on the top of the fixed base plate 1 , a card guard plate 102 is disposed on one side of the front of the fixed base plate 1 , and the top of the card guard plate 102 is disposed directly below the L-shaped guard plate 101 .

[0023] It should be noted that the combination design of the L-shaped guard plate 101 and the card guard plate 102 is used to ensure that when the fixed base plate 1 is connected to the rotating mechanism, the L-shaped guard plate 101 and the card guard plate 102 are combined to form a clamping space for guidance, so that the entire adjustment mechanism can cooperate with the rotating mechanism to achieve stable rotation following the rotating mechanism. In the design of this solution, through the structural design of the fixed base plate 1, it serves as both a bearing structure of the entire mechanism and a structure connected to the rotating mechanism. The fixed base plate 1 and the rotating mechanism can be fixed by inserting the screw threads, so that the entire mechanism can be fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism.

[0024] The moving assembly includes a travel module 2, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed base plate 1;

[0025] Specifically, a driving motor 201 for providing power is disposed at the driving end of the travel module 2 , and the driving motor 201 is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed base plate 1 .

[0026] It should be noted that the travel module 2 is a device for controlling and positioning motion. It is usually composed of a motor, a transmission device, an encoder, etc. The travel module 2 is often used in automation systems and mechanical equipment to control and perform linear motion or precise position positioning.

[0027] The working principle of the stroke module 2 is to drive the transmission device through the motor to make the linear axis move forward or backward to achieve the required stroke. The encoder can accurately measure the position of the stroke module 2 to achieve precise position control and positioning.

[0028] The connection structure comprises a connection plate 3 , a mounting plate 301 is arranged on the back of the connection plate 3 , and a connector for connecting to the output end of the travel module 2 is arranged on the back of the mounting plate 301 .

[0029] Specifically, the connecting member includes a connecting sleeve 302 , one end of the back side of the connecting sleeve 302 is slidably sleeved on the output end of the travel module 2 , and the front side of the connecting sleeve 302 is fixedly connected to the back side of the mounting plate 301 .

[0030] It should be noted that in the design of this solution, the connecting sleeve 302 is fixedly connected to the back of the mounting plate 301 by means of screws. Through such a setting, the mounting plate 301 moves synchronously with the connecting sleeve 302 when the connecting sleeve 302 is driven by the stroke module 2.

[0031] An X-ray source adopts an adjustment mechanism and comprises an X-ray tube 4 which is arranged on the front side of a connecting plate 3.

[0032] It should be noted that the model of the X-ray tube 4 used in this scheme is L9181-XX. The X-ray tube 4 is a device that generates X-rays and is widely used in medical imaging, industrial detection, scientific research and other fields. The X-ray tube 4 consists of two parts: a cathode and an anode. The cathode is a thermal electron emitter, usually composed of a tungsten filament. When the tungsten filament is subjected to a heating current, it releases high-energy electrons. These electrons are guided to the anode by the accelerator electric field. The anode is a metal ring that is located opposite the cathode. When electrons hit the anode, they generate X-rays. This is because the high-speed movement of electrons causes them to interact with the anode atoms, thereby generating X-ray radiation. The anode is usually made of tungsten or molybdenum because they have a high melting point and good thermal conductivity.

[0033] Specifically, connection blocks 401 are provided on both sides of one end of the back side of the X-ray tube 4 , and a plurality of connection blocks 401 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connection plate 3 , respectively.

[0034] It should be noted that, through the setting of the connecting block 401, the X-ray tube 4 can be stably connected to the connecting plate 3. Through such a combined setting, the X-ray tube 4 can adjust its position following the movement of the connecting plate 3. In the setting of this scheme, the connecting block 401 and the connecting plate 3 are fixed by bolt connection.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
