Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an X-ray imaging device and a film cassette assembly. Background Technology

[0002] An X-ray imaging device is a device that uses X-rays to pass through the human body, which are then collected by a flat panel detector and processed by a computer system to reproduce X-ray images. An X-ray imaging device typically includes a head unit and a film cassette assembly. The head unit emits X-rays, and the film cassette assembly houses the flat panel detector.

[0003] When it is necessary to disassemble or repair the flat panel detector inside the cartridge assembly, the operator usually needs to pull out the movable bracket containing the flat panel detector from one side of the cartridge assembly. However, since the direction in which the movable bracket is pulled out of the cartridge assembly is fixed, it can hinder the operator from pulling the movable bracket out of the cartridge assembly when the pull-out side of the movable bracket is against a wall or in a small space.

[0055] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0056] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0057] This embodiment provides an X-ray imaging device.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1-16 The X-ray imaging device includes an X-ray emitting device (not shown) and an X-ray receiving device.

[0059] The X-ray emitting device is used to emit X-rays to an X-ray receiving device. The X-ray receiving device includes a film cassette assembly 1000, which carries a flat panel detector. The flat panel detector is capable of receiving X-rays and generating electrical signals.

[0060] On the other hand, this embodiment also provides a cartridge assembly 1000.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1-16 The cartridge assembly 1000 includes a cartridge base 100 and a movable support 200.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1-4 The cartridge base 100 has a mounting cavity 130, a first opening 110, and a second opening 120. The first opening 110 and the second opening 120 are located on opposite sides of the cartridge base 100 in a first direction and both communicate with the mounting cavity 130. A movable bracket 200 is movably mounted within the mounting cavity 130 for supporting the flat panel detector. The cartridge assembly 1000 has selectable first and second assembly states. In the first assembly state, the movable bracket 200 can extend and retract from the first opening 110 into the mounting cavity 130. In the second assembly state, the movable bracket 200 can extend and retract from the second opening 120 into the mounting cavity 130.

[0063] Because the cartridge assembly 1000 has two assembly states, installers can flexibly choose different assembly states according to the actual site conditions. This allows the movable bracket 200 to extend and retract from the side with more operating space into the mounting cavity 130, making the cartridge assembly 1000 more adaptable to different site conditions and facilitating installation work. For example, if the installer finds that the side where the second opening 120 is located is against a wall or interfered with by other equipment, they can choose to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the first assembly state, allowing the movable bracket 200 to be pulled out from the side with more open space, where the first opening 110 is located. For details, please refer to... Figure 1 and 2This diagram shows the disc cartridge assembly 1000 assembled in a first assembly posture, i.e., the movable support 200 is pulled out from the first opening 110. Please refer to... Figure 3 and 4 The diagram shows the cartridge assembly 1000 assembled in a second assembly posture, that is, the movable bracket 200 is pulled out from the second opening 120.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, the cartridge assembly 1000 further includes a bidirectional slide rail 300, which is disposed in the mounting cavity 130 along a first direction. One side of the bidirectional slide rail 300 is connected to the cartridge base 100, and the other side is connected to the movable bracket 200, so that the movable bracket 200 can move along the bidirectional slide rail 300 to the side where the first opening 110 is located and the second opening 120 is located.

[0065] Because the movable support 200 can slide along the bidirectional slide rail 300 to the side where the first opening 110 is located and the side where the second opening 120 is located, a hardware basis is provided for realizing two assembly states of the cassette assembly 1000. Specifically, in the first assembly state, the second outlet can be closed, so that the movable support 200 can only be pulled out from the first opening 110 via the bidirectional slide rail 300. In the second assembly state, the first opening 110 can be closed, so that the movable support 200 can only be pulled out from the second opening 120 via the bidirectional slide rail 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the bidirectional slide rail 300 can also be replaced by a slider and groove that can slide bidirectionally.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1-5 In one embodiment, the cartridge assembly 1000 further includes a mounting cover 400, with a first opening 110 and a second opening 120 symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the cartridge base 100 in a first direction. In a first assembled state, the mounting cover 400 is detachably connected to the second opening 120 to close the second opening 120. In a second assembled state, the mounting cover 400 is detachably connected to the first opening 110 to close the first opening 110.

[0067] Because the first opening 110 and the second opening 120 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the cartridge base 100 in the first direction, the mounting cover 400 can be configured to fit both the first opening 110 and the second opening 120. That is, through a symmetrical design, the mounting cover 400 can be detachably connected to both the first opening 110 and the second opening 120. This reduces the number and types of parts that installers need to carry and facilitates real-time installation and removal of the mounting cover 400, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0068] Specifically, in the first assembly state, the second opening 120 is closed by the mounting cover 400, so that the movable bracket 200 can only be pulled out from the first opening 110. In the second assembly state, the first opening 110 is closed by the mounting cover 400, so that the movable bracket 200 can only be pulled out from the second opening 120. The connection between the mounting cover 400 and the first opening 110 and the second opening 120 can be a detachable snap-fit, a detachable screw connection, or a magnetic engagement, etc. The "centerline of the cartridge base 100 in the first direction" can be considered as... Figure 5 The axis L1, "the centerline of the movable bracket 200 in the first direction" can be regarded as Figure 5 The axis L2 in the middle. The "first direction" can be regarded as Figure 5 The direction indicated by the central axis L3.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1-5 In one embodiment, the mounting cover 400 has a first snap-fit ​​portion 410 on the side for engaging with the first opening 110 and the second opening 120, and both the first opening 110 and the second opening 120 have a second snap-fit ​​portion 140. In a first assembled state, the first snap-fit ​​portion 410 is detachably snapped into the second snap-fit ​​portion 140 of the second opening 120. In a second assembled state, the first snap-fit ​​portion 410 is detachably snapped into the second snap-fit ​​portion 140 of the first opening 110.

[0070] When the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the first assembled state, the first snap-fit ​​portion 410 of the mounting cover 400 can be detachably snapped into the second snap-fit ​​portion 140 of the second opening 120, thereby closing the second opening 120. When the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the second assembled state, the first snap-fit ​​portion 410 of the mounting cover 400 can be detachably snapped into the second snap-fit ​​portion 140 of the first opening 110, thereby closing the first opening 110.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 1-5 In one embodiment, one of the first latching portion 410 and the second latching portion 140 is configured as a buckle 411 and the other is configured as a slot 141.

[0072] The mounting cover 400 is detachably connected to the first opening 110 and the second opening 120 by the engagement of the snap fastener 411 and the slot 141, which facilitates quick installation and removal of the mounting cover 400 by installers, thereby improving installation efficiency. In other embodiments, the detachable connection between the mounting cover 400 and the first opening 110 and the second opening 120 can also be achieved by using snap-fit ​​protrusions and snap-fit ​​grooves.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 1-6In one embodiment, the cartridge assembly 1000 further includes a support handle 500. The movable support 200 has a first connecting portion 210 and a second connecting portion 220. The first connecting portion 210 is located on the side of the movable support 200 facing the first opening 110 when the movable support 200 is closed, and the second connecting portion 220 is located on the side of the movable support 200 facing the second opening 120 when the movable support 200 is closed. The first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the movable support 200 in a first direction. In a first assembly state, the support handle 500 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 210. In a second assembly state, the support handle 500 is detachably connected to the second connecting portion 220.

[0074] When the movable bracket 200 needs to be opened or closed, the user can extend or retract the movable bracket 200 into the mounting cavity 130 using the bracket handle 500. Since the first connecting part 210 and the second connecting part 220 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the movable bracket 200 in the first direction, the bracket handle 500 can be configured to fit both the first connecting part 210 and the second connecting part 220. That is, through a symmetrical design, the bracket handle 500 can be detachably connected to both the first connecting part 210 and the second connecting part 220. This reduces the number and types of parts that installers need to carry and facilitates real-time assembly and disassembly of the bracket handle 500, thereby improving installation efficiency. It should be noted that the open state of the movable bracket 200 is when it extends out of the mounting cavity 130, and the closed state is when it retracts into the mounting cavity 130.

[0075] Specifically, when the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the first assembly state, the bracket handle 500 can be detachably engaged with the first connecting part 210, so that the user can pull the movable bracket 200 out of the first opening 110 through the bracket handle 500. When the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the second assembly state, the bracket handle 500 can be detachably engaged with the second connecting part 220, so that the user can pull the movable bracket 200 out of the second opening 120 through the bracket handle 500.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 1-6 In one embodiment, in a first assembled state, the bracket handle 500 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 210 via a first screw 230. In a second assembled state, the bracket handle 500 is detachably connected to the second connecting portion 220 via the first screw 230.

[0077] The bracket handle 500 is detachably connected to the first connecting part 210 and the second connecting part 220 by means of the first screw 230. On the one hand, the first screw 230 can securely connect the bracket handle 500 to the movable bracket 200, and it is not easy for it to fall off the bracket handle 500 due to the user's pulling action. On the other hand, the first screw 230 can be set as a universal fitting to facilitate quick disassembly and replacement by the installer.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, the film cassette assembly 1000 further includes a substrate handle 600. The film cassette substrate 100 has a front side for receiving X-rays and a back side disposed opposite to the front side. The back side has a first handle mounting portion 150 and a second handle mounting portion 160. The first handle mounting portion 150 is located on the side of the back side adjacent to the first opening 110, and the second handle mounting portion 160 is located on the side of the back side adjacent to the second opening 120. The first handle mounting portion 150 and the second handle mounting portion 160 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the mounting substrate in a first direction. In a first assembled state, the substrate handle 600 is detachably connected to the first handle mounting portion 150, and in a second assembled state, the substrate handle 600 is detachably connected to the second handle mounting portion 160.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 1-4 7. The substrate handle 600 is installed on the back of the film cassette assembly 1000 without occupying the area of ​​the film cassette assembly 1000 used to receive X-rays. The user can move the film cassette substrate 100 in the vertical direction by using the substrate handle 600, and can also perform some control operations by using the buttons on the substrate handle 600.

[0080] Because the first handle mounting part 150 and the second handle mounting part 160 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the mounting base in the first direction, the base handle 600 can be configured to fit both the first handle mounting part 150 and the second handle mounting part 160. That is, through a symmetrical design, the base handle 600 can be detachably connected to both the first handle mounting part 150 and the second handle mounting part 160. This reduces the number and types of parts that installers need to carry and facilitates real-time assembly and disassembly of the bracket handle 500, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0081] Specifically, when the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the first assembly state, the base handle 600 can be detachably snapped into the first handle mounting part 150, so that the base handle 600 is located on the side where the first opening 110 with a larger operating space is located. When the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the second assembly state, the base handle 600 can be detachably snapped into the second handle mounting part 160, so that the base handle 600 is located on the side where the second opening 120 with a larger operating space is located.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, the base handle 600 has a connecting side 610 and a gripping side 620, a first handle mounting portion 150 configured as a first mounting groove 151, and a second handle mounting portion 160 configured as a second mounting groove 161. In a first assembled state, the connecting side 610 is detachably connected to the first mounting groove 151, and in a second assembled state, the connecting side 610 is detachably connected to the second mounting groove 161.

[0083] On one hand, the user can grip the base handle 600 via the gripping side 620 to apply force to the cartridge base 100. On the other hand, in the first assembly state, the base handle 600 is detachably mounted on the cartridge base 100 through the engagement of the connecting side 610 with the first mounting groove 151. In the second assembly state, the base handle 600 is detachably mounted on the cartridge base 100 through the engagement of the connecting side 610 with the second mounting groove 161. In other embodiments, the first handle mounting portion 150 and the second handle mounting portion 160 may also be mounting protrusions symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the cartridge base 100 in a first direction.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, the base handle 600 includes a main body 630 and a housing 640. The main body 630 has a receiving groove 631 on its periphery, and a fixing part 632 is provided within the receiving groove 631. In a first assembled state, the fixing part 632 is detachably connected to a first mounting groove 151 by a second screw 633. In a second assembled state, the fixing part 632 is detachably connected to a second mounting groove 161 by a second screw 633. The housing 640 is detachably engaged with the receiving groove 631 to close the receiving groove 631.

[0085] When the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the first assembly state, the fixing part 632 can be detachably connected to the first mounting groove 151 using the second screw 633, and then the outer shell part 640 can be snapped into the receiving groove 631 to close the receiving groove 631. When the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the second assembly state, the fixing part 632 can be detachably connected to the second mounting groove 161 using the second screw 633, and then the outer shell part 640 can be snapped into the receiving groove 631 to close the receiving groove 631. The outer shell part 640 can protect the components inside the receiving groove 631 and prevent external dust or debris from falling into the receiving groove 631. Furthermore, the detachable snap-fit ​​connection between the outer shell part 640 and the receiving groove 631 facilitates quick assembly and disassembly by the installer, thereby improving the installer's installation efficiency.

[0086] The advantage of using the second screw 633 to install the base handle 600 is that the second screw 633 can securely connect the base handle 600 to the disc cartridge base 100, and the base handle 600 is not easily detached from the disc cartridge base 100 due to force applied by the user. Furthermore, the second screw 633 can be designed as a universal fitting to facilitate quick disassembly and replacement by installers.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, the cartridge assembly 1000 further includes a cover 700, which, in a first assembled state, is detachably engaged with a second mounting groove 161 to close the second mounting groove 161. In a second assembled state, the cover 700 is detachably engaged with a first mounting groove 151 to close the first mounting groove 151.

[0088] Since the base handle 600 is only connected to one of the first mounting slot 151 and the second mounting slot 161 in one assembled state, if the other mounting slot 151 and the other mounting slot 161 are directly exposed to the outside, dust or debris may fall into it, affecting the subsequent use of that mounting slot. It also makes the surface of the cartridge base 100 uneven, affecting its appearance. Therefore, in the first assembled state, the installer detachably engages the cover 700 with the second mounting slot 161 to close the unused second mounting slot 161. In the second assembled state, the installer detachably engages the cover 700 with the first mounting slot 151 to close the unused first mounting slot 151. This makes the surface of the mounting base smoother and prevents dust or debris from falling into the unused mounting slot.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 1-4In one embodiment, the cartridge assembly 1000 further includes a circuit wire 800 detachably disposed within the mounting cavity 130 and extending to connect with the movable bracket 200. The circuit wire 800 has selectable first routing path 132 and second routing path 133 within the mounting cavity 130. The first routing path 132 is located on the side of the mounting cavity 130 near the first opening 110, and the second routing path 133 is located on the side of the mounting cavity 130 near the second opening 120. The first routing path 132 and the second routing path 133 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the cartridge base 100 in a first direction. In a first assembled state, the circuit wire 800 is detachably disposed within the mounting cavity 130 along the first routing path 132. In a second assembled state, the circuit wire 800 is detachably disposed within the mounting cavity 130 along the second routing path 133.

[0090] Since the circuit wires 800 are detachably laid in the mounting cavity 130, and the first laying path 132 and the second laying path 133 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the chip box base 100 in the first direction, the installer can quickly remove the circuit wires 800 on the centerline side when changing the assembly state of the chip box assembly 1000, and re-lay them on the other side of the centerline in a symmetrical manner relative to the centerline.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, as described in points 8 and 9, a plurality of wire positioning buckles 131 are provided within the mounting cavity 130. These wire positioning buckles 131 are used for detachable connection with the circuit wires 800, enabling the detachable arrangement of the circuit wires 800 within the mounting cavity 130. Specifically, the wire positioning buckles 131 can be quick-release buckles made of an elastic material.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, as described in 8-13, the cartridge assembly 1000 further includes a cable carrier 900, the cable carrier 900 having a through-hole for accommodating the circuit wires 800. The cable carrier 900 has a first end and a second end. In a first assembled state, the first end of the cable carrier 900 is detachably connected to the side of the mounting cavity 130 near the first opening 110, and the second end of the cable carrier 900 is detachably connected to the middle of the movable bracket 200. In a second assembled state, the first end of the cable carrier 900 is detachably connected to the side of the mounting cavity 130 near the second opening 120, and the second end of the cable carrier 900 is detachably connected to the middle of the movable bracket 200.

[0093] Since the circuit cable 800 needs to be connected to the movable bracket 200, when the movable bracket 200 moves, it will cause part of the circuit cable 800 to move. Placing this part of the circuit cable 800 in the cable routing cavity of the cable chain 900 can effectively protect this part of the circuit cable 800. Specifically, when the installer needs to install the cassette assembly 1000 in the first assembly state, the first end of the cable chain 900 can be detachably connected to the side of the mounting cavity 130 near the first opening 110, and the second end of the cable chain 900 can be detachably connected to the middle of the movable bracket 200. When the installer needs to install the cassette assembly 1000 in the second assembly state, the first end of the cable chain 900 can be detachably connected to the side of the mounting cavity 130 near the second opening 120, and the second end of the cable chain 900 can be detachably connected to the middle of the movable bracket 200.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, as shown in 8-13, the first end of the cable chain 900 is provided with an adapter 910, and the mounting cavity 130 has a first adapter portion (not shown) and a second adapter portion (not shown). The first adapter portion is located on the side of the mounting cavity 130 near the first opening 110, and the second adapter portion is located on the side of the mounting cavity 130 near the second opening 120. The first adapter portion and the second adapter portion are symmetrically arranged along the centerline of the mounting base in a first direction. In a first assembly state, the adapter 910 is detachably connected to the first adapter portion. In a second assembly state, the adapter 910 is detachably connected to the second adapter portion.

[0095] On the one hand, the adapter 910 enables quick assembly and disassembly of the first end of the cable chain 900 with the first and second adapters, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the installers. On the other hand, since the first and second adapters are symmetrically arranged along the centerline of the cartridge base 100 in the first direction, after the installers remove the adapter 910 from the first adapter on one side of the centerline, they can more easily find the second adapter on the other side of the centerline and install the adapter 910 onto the second adapter, and vice versa. This helps to improve the speed at which the installers can switch the assembly state of the cartridge assembly 1000.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, as described in 10-13, the adapter 910 is configured as a sheet metal adapter 910. In a first assembled state, the sheet metal adapter 910 is detachably connected to the first adapter portion via a third screw 920. In a second assembled state, the sheet metal adapter 910 is detachably connected to the second adapter portion via a third screw 920.

[0097] The advantage of using the third screw 920 to install the sheet metal adapter 910 is that the third screw 920 can securely install the sheet metal adapter 910 to the first adapter and the second adapter, making it less likely for the sheet metal adapter 910 to fall off when the cable chain 900 moves. Furthermore, it can be configured to install the sheet metal adapter 910 using only a single screw, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the sheet metal adapter 910.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, as described in 10-13, a cable chain positioning member 240 is provided at the center of the movable bracket 200. The cable chain positioning member 240 has a first positioning portion 241 and a second positioning portion 242. The first positioning portion 241 is located on the side of the cable chain positioning member 240 facing the first opening 110 in the closed state, and the second positioning portion 242 is located on the side of the cable chain positioning member 240 facing the second opening 120 in the closed state. The first positioning portion 241 and the second positioning portion 242 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the cable chain positioning member 240 in a first direction. In a first assembly state, the second end of the cable chain 900 is detachably connected to the second positioning portion 242. In a second assembly state, the second end of the cable chain 900 is detachably connected to the first positioning portion 241.

[0099] When the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the first assembly state, the second end of the cable chain 900 can be detachably connected to the second positioning part 242. When the installer needs to install the cartridge assembly 1000 in the second assembly state, the second end of the cable chain 900 can be detachably connected to the first mounting part. Since the first positioning part 241 and the second positioning part 242 are both located on the cable chain positioning part 240 and are symmetrically arranged, the installer can easily remove the second end of the cable chain 900 from the first positioning part 241 and directly install it onto the second positioning part 242 when changing the assembly state of the cartridge assembly 1000, and vice versa. The operation process is convenient and quick.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, as described in 10-13, the cable chain positioning member 240 is configured as a sheet metal part. In a first assembly state, the second end of the cable chain 900 is detachably connected to the second positioning part 242 via a fourth screw 930. In a second assembly state, the second end of the cable chain 900 is detachably connected to the first positioning part 241 via a fourth screw 930.

[0101] The advantage of installing the second end of the cable chain 900 via the fourth screw 930 is that it securely connects the second end of the cable chain 900 to the cable chain positioning member 240, making it less likely for the second end of the cable chain 900 to detach from the cable chain positioning member 240 during movement. Furthermore, it can be configured to install the second end of the cable chain 900 using only a single fourth screw 930, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the second end of the cable chain 900.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, as shown in 14-16, a locking mechanism 1010 and an unlocking member 1020 are further included. The locking mechanism 1010 is used to lock the movable bracket 200 within the mounting cavity 130, and the unlocking member 1020 is used to contact the locking mechanism 1010 to release the locking mechanism 1010 from locking the movable bracket 200. The movable bracket 200 has a first locking mounting portion 250 and a second locking mounting portion 260. The first locking mounting portion 250 is located on the side of the movable bracket 200 near the first opening 110 in the closed state, and the second locking mounting portion 260 is located on the side of the movable bracket 200 near the second opening 120 in the closed state. The first locking mounting portion 250 and the second locking mounting portion 260 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the movable bracket 200 in a first direction. The cartridge base 100 has a first unlocking mounting portion 170 and a second unlocking mounting portion 180. The first unlocking mounting portion 170 is disposed near the first opening 110, and the second unlocking mounting portion 180 is disposed near the second opening 120. The first unlocking mounting portions 170 and 180 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the movable bracket 200 in a first direction. In a first assembly state, the locking mechanism 1010 is connected to the second locking mounting portion 260, and the unlocking component 1020 is connected to the second unlocking mounting portion 180. In a second assembly state, the locking mechanism 1010 is connected to the first locking mounting portion 250, and the unlocking component 1020 is connected to the first unlocking mounting portion 170.

[0103] On the one hand, when the movable bracket 200 is in the closed state, the locking mechanism 1010 can lock the movable bracket 200 within the mounting cavity 130, preventing the movable bracket 200 from accidentally extending out of the mounting cavity 130. When it is necessary to remove the movable bracket 200, the locking mechanism 1010 can contact the unlocking element 1020 to release the locking mechanism 1010 from locking the movable bracket 200. Specifically, the locking mechanism 1010 and the unlocking element 1020 can be any type of locking mechanism 1010 commonly used on cabinets or appliance doors, that is, a door lock structure commonly known as a "button".

[0104] On the other hand, since the first locking mounting part 250 and the second locking mounting part 260 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the movable bracket 200 in the first direction, and the first unlocking mounting part 170 and the second unlocking mounting part 180 are also symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the movable bracket 200 in the first direction, this symmetrical design makes it easier to fit the locking mechanism 1010 to both the first locking mounting part 250 and the second locking mounting part 260. Similarly, it makes it easier to fit the unlocking part 1020 to both the first unlocking mounting part 170 and the second unlocking mounting part 180. Furthermore, when changing the assembly state of the cartridge assembly 1000, installers can more easily find the installation positions of the locking mechanism 1010 and the unlocking part 1020 after the assembly state has been changed, based on the symmetrical design.
