This controls the two moving plates to move horizontally towards each other, thereby driving the two limit frames to clamp the X-ray machine in the middle. Then, the position of the X-ray machine is adjusted. During adjustment, the second adjustment motor is started, controlling the rotating rod to rotate, driving the first bevel gear to rotate. The first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear to rotate, and the second bevel gear drives the rotating rod to rotate, causing the third bevel gear to drive the fourth bevel gear to rotate, thus rotating the threaded rod and controlling the lifting rod to move up and down. This, in turn, controls the horizontal plate and the placement plate to move up and down. In this way, when inspecting large LNG tanks, different heights of the tank can be inspected. Then, the third adjustment motor is started, controlling the placement plate to move horizontally, inspecting different horizontal positions of the tank, achieving a stable movement effect during LNG X-ray inspection.

When the second adjustment motor 6 is started, it controls the threaded rod 7 to rotate, and the two threaded rods 7 drive the two lifting rods 8 to move up and down respectively.
[0026] To facilitate the control of the two limiting frames 5 clamping the X-ray machine 11 in the middle, the first adjusting motor 3 is fixedly installed inside the placement plate 1, and the adjusting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the first adjusting motor 3. Both limiting frames 5 are slidably connected to the upper surface of the placement plate 1, and both lower surfaces of the two limiting frames 5 are fixedly installed with movable clamping plates 51. Both movable clamping plates 51 are slidably inserted into the interior of the placement plate 1. The X-ray machine 11 is placed on the upper surface of the placement plate 1 between the two limiting frames 5. The first adjusting motor 3 controls the adjusting rod 4 to rotate. The adjusting rod 4 is a two-way threaded screw. When rotated, it can control the two movable clamping plates 51 to move horizontally towards each other, thereby driving the two limiting frames 5 to clamp the X-ray machine 11 in the middle.
[0027] To ensure that the two limit frames 5 clamp the X-ray machine 11 in the middle, the interior of the two support columns 2 is provided with a sliding groove 21, and the two lifting rods 8 are slidably inserted into the interior of the sliding groove 21. A crossbar 81 is fixedly installed between the two lifting rods 8, and the crossbar 81 connects the two lifting rods 8 so that the two lifting rods 8 can move up and down synchronously.
[0028] To facilitate the control of the rotation of the rotating rod 61 and the first bevel gear 62, a mounting box 22 is fixedly installed on the left side surface of the support column 2 on the left side. The second adjusting motor 6 is fixedly installed inside the mounting box 22. The rotating rod 61 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the rotating shaft of the second adjusting motor 6, and the first bevel gear 62 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the rotating rod 61.

The outer surface of the second bevel gear 26 meshes with the outer surface of the first bevel gear 62. The fixed bearing 23 ensures stable rotation of the rotating rod 61, and the limit bearing 24 ensures stable rotation of the rotating rod 25. The first bevel gear 62 drives the second bevel gear 26 to rotate.
[0030] To facilitate the control of the lifting rod 8's up-and-down movement, a third bevel gear 27 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod 25 near the second bevel gear 26.
