[0006] According to one aspect of the present application, an end cover dismounting device is provided, which comprises: a main plate, the main plate having an arc-shaped outer edge; an arc-shaped wall, wherein the arc-shaped wall is arranged on the lower surface of the main plate and matches the arc-shaped outer edge of the main plate; an arc-shaped plate block, the arc-shaped plate block being connected with the lower end of the arc-shaped wall and matching the arc-shaped outer edge of the main plate, and wherein the part of the arc-shaped plate block protruding from the inner side of the arc-shaped wall constitutes a transition stress edge corresponding to the transition groove of the side wall of the end cover; and the part of the arc-shaped plate block protruding from the outer side of the arc-shaped wall forms a slot with the main plate.

[0007] Optionally, the transition stress edge is capable of being inserted into the transition groove in the case that the lower surface of the main plate is attached to the upper surface of the end cover.

[0008] Optionally, the main plate is a fan shape.

[0009] Optionally, the arc-shaped wall is concentrically arranged relative to the arc-shaped outer edge of the main plate.

[0010] Optionally, the arc-shaped plate is concentrically arranged relative to the arc-shaped outer edge of the main plate.

[0011] Optionally, the central angle of the main plate is 90°-125°.

[0012] In the embodiment of the present application, in the case that the end cover on the X-ray tube assembly needs to be disassembled, first, the arc-shaped outer edge of the end cover disassembling device is directed to the outside of the X-ray tube assembly, and the lower surface of the end cover disassembling device is attached to the upper surface of the end cover, then the end cover disassembling device is pushed from outside to inside, so that the transition stress edge of the end cover disassembling device is inserted into the transition groove of the end cover, and the end cover disassembling device is tightly attached to the end cover. Then the worker inserts the screwdriver into the opening slot of the end cover disassembling device and directly acts on the opening slot.

[0027] Figure 2 An exemplary schematic diagram of the end cover dismounting device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, Figure 3 An exemplary sectional view of the end cover dismounting device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an end cover dismounting device 100 is provided, comprising: a main plate 110, the main plate 110 having an arc-shaped outer edge 112; an arc-shaped wall 120, wherein the arc-shaped wall 120 is arranged on the lower surface 111 of the main plate 110 and matches the arc-shaped outer edge 112 of the main plate 110; an arc-shaped plate block 130, the arc-shaped plate block 130 being connected with the lower end of the arc-shaped wall 120 and matching the arc-shaped outer edge 112 of the main plate 110, and wherein the part of the arc-shaped plate block 130 protruding from the inner side of the arc-shaped wall 120 constitutes a transition stress edge 131 corresponding to the transition groove 211 of the side wall of the end cover 210; and the part of the arc-shaped plate block 130 protruding from the outer side of the arc-shaped wall 120 forms a slot 132 with the main plate 110.

[0028] As described in the background, due to the complex manufacturing process of the X-ray tube assembly, defective products are inevitable in the manufacturing process, so the internal structure needs to be dismounted for analysis of the defective reasons to provide technical support for subsequent processes. Figure 1A A front view of the X-ray tube assembly is shown, Figure 1B A sectional view of the X-ray tube assembly is shown. Referring to Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, at present, in the case of needing to dismount the internal structure of the X-ray tube assembly, a flathead screwdriver is used to directly act on the transition groove 211 of the end cover 210 of the X-ray tube assembly, thereby prying up the end cover 210 to expose the internal structure. However, the method of using a flathead screwdriver to directly act on the transition groove 211 of the end cover 210 of the X-ray tube assembly can cause damage to the end cover 210 of the X-ray tube assembly, thereby wasting materials and increasing costs.

[0029] In view of the above technical problems, the technical scheme of the present application, Figure 4 A sectional view of the X-ray tube assembly without the end cover dismounting device 100 is shown, Figure 5 A sectional view of the X-ray tube assembly with the end cover dismounting device 100 is shown. Referring to Figure 4 andFigure 5 As shown, in the case of needing to disassemble the end cover 210 on the X-ray tube assembly, first, the arc-shaped outer edge 112 of the end cover disassembling device 100 is directed towards the outside of the X-ray tube assembly, and the lower surface 111 of the end cover disassembling device 100 is attached to the upper surface 212 of the end cover 210, and then the end cover disassembling device 100 is pushed from the outside to the inside, so that the transition stress edge 131 of the end cover disassembling device 100 is inserted into the transition groove 211 of the end cover 210, so that the end cover disassembling device 100 is tightly attached to the end cover 210. Then the worker inserts the screwdriver into the opening groove 132 of the end cover disassembling device 100 and directly acts on the opening groove 132. Since the end cover disassembling device 100 is tightly attached to the end cover 210, the worker can pry up the end cover disassembling device 100 through the opening groove 132, while the end cover disassembling device 100 prys up the end cover 210. Therefore, the present technical solution can use the screwdriver to act on the end cover disassembling device 100, and the end cover 210 can be disassembled by using the end cover disassembling device 100, without directly acting on the end cover 210 by the screwdriver, thereby avoiding damage to the end cover 210, thereby saving resources and costs.

[0030] In addition, if there is only one end cover disassembling device 100, the end cover disassembling device 100 can be installed at one end (for example, end a) of the end cover 210, so that the end cover disassembling device 100 is used to pry up the end (i.e., end a) of the end cover 210. Then the end cover disassembling device 100 is disassembled and installed at the other end (for example, end b) of the end cover 210, so that the end cover disassembling device 100 is used to pry up the end (i.e., end b) of the end cover 210.

[0031] Reference Figure 6 As shown, if there are multiple end cover disassembling devices 100, the multiple end cover disassembling devices 100 can be installed on the end cover 210 at the same time, so that the screwdriver can be directly used to act on the multiple end cover disassembling devices 100 to pry up the end cover 210, without moving one end cover disassembling device to different angles of the end cover, so that the disassembly work can be more efficiently completed.

[0032] Optionally, in the case of attaching the lower surface 111 of the main body plate 110 to the upper surface 212 of the end cover 210, the transition stress edge 131 can be inserted into the transition groove 211. Therefore, the end cover 210 and the end cover disassembling device 100 can be tightly attached and fixed to prevent shaking, which facilitates disassembly.

[0033] Optionally, the main body plate 110 is fan-shaped. This allows the end cap removal device 100 to better fit the end caps of X-ray tube assemblies of different sizes and shapes. Since X-ray tube assemblies may have different diameters and curvatures, the fan-shaped structure can more flexibly adapt to these differences. Furthermore, the relatively large contact area between the fan-shaped edge and the end cap helps to increase the friction between the device and the end cap, making the two fit more tightly and less prone to slippage during prying.

[0034] Optionally, the arc-shaped wall 120 is concentrically arranged relative to the arc-shaped outer edge 112 of the main body plate 110. This allows for precise control of the alignment between the transition force-bearing ridge 131 and the transition groove 211 of the end cap 210, reducing installation errors and ensuring smooth disassembly.

[0035] Optionally, the arc-shaped plate 130 is concentrically positioned relative to the arc-shaped outer edge 112 of the main plate 110. This allows for precise alignment of the transition force-bearing edge 131 with the transition groove 211 of the end cap 210, reducing installation errors and improving disassembly efficiency and reliability.

[0036] Optionally, the central angle 113 of the main body plate 110 is 90°-125°. Specifically, refer to... Figure 7 As shown, the central angle α of the main body plate 110 is set within the range of 90°≤α≤125°. Based on actual assembly dimensions and usage results, if angle α < 90°, the force-bearing surface of the end cap removal device 100 is small, the removal effect is not obvious, and it is difficult to pry up the end cap; if angle α > 125°, the end cap removal device 100 will not be able to install the end cap 210. Therefore, the angle of the central angle 113 of the main body plate 110 of the end cap removal device 100 in this technical solution is set between 90° and 125°, which allows for flexible installation of the end cap 210 while increasing the force-bearing area, making it easier to pry up the end cap.
