Radiographic imaging refers to the process of exposing, developing, and fixing film.

[0003] In related technologies, industrial film scanners use linear or area array light sources to transmit images of the film, and a camera to capture images of the transmitted area. These images are then combined with image stitching technology to achieve digital scanning of industrial film. However, different inspection scenarios result in varying film widths, making it inconvenient to use an industrial film scanner to scan multiple films of different widths simultaneously.

[0047] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] This embodiment relates to an industrial film scanner feeding auxiliary device, which facilitates the simultaneous scanning of multiple films of different widths.

[0050] In terms of overall structure, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an industrial film scanner film feeding auxiliary device is assembled on the scanner body 4. The industrial film scanner film feeding auxiliary device includes a base plate 1, a width limiting plate 2, and a separator 3. The base plate 1 is attached to the film feeder 401 of the scanner body 4. The base plate 1 is provided with a clearance hole 1a to avoid the moving parts 402 and the sensing parts 403 on the film feeder 401. Two width limiting plates 2 are provided, and the two width limiting plates 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the width direction of the base plate 1 along the film conveying direction. The separator 3 is parallel to the width limiting plate 2, and multiple separator 3 are connected to the separator 3 with adjustable spacing along the width direction of the base plate 1.

[0051] Before scanning multiple films of different widths, the spacing between the separator strips 3 and the width limiting plate 2, as well as the spacing between the separator strips 3 themselves, is adjusted. The films are then placed sequentially between the separator strips 3 and the width limiting plate 2, and finally placed at the corresponding position of the sensor 403. By setting multiple separator strips 3 with adjustable spacing on the base plate 1, the industrial film scanner can batch process films of various mixed sizes, while avoiding interference caused by film skew when scanning multiple films. This facilitates the simultaneous scanning of multiple films of different widths.

[0052] Based on the above general introduction, in this embodiment, the wafer feeder 401 has a groove 4a, in which the base plate 1 and the width limiting plate 2 are both embedded; this arrangement can prevent the base plate 1 from shaking along the width direction of the wafer feeder 401 after it is attached to the wafer feeder 401.

[0053] It is worth noting that the width of the film feeder 401 of a common scanner body 4 is usually around 35cm, while the common width specifications of weld seam films are usually 6cm, 8cm, 17.5cm, etc. Therefore, as a feasible implementation, in this embodiment, one base plate 1 corresponds to at least four separator strips 3 to facilitate the simultaneous scanning of multiple small-sized films. Of course, if there are slightly larger films mixed in, the number of separator strips 3 installed and attached to the floor can be adjusted. The specific number of separator strips 3 is adjusted according to the actual width of the film.

[0054] Based on the moving part 402 and the sensing part 403 on the feeder 401, a clearance groove 3a is provided on the separator 3 accordingly. The clearance groove 3a is provided to avoid interference between the separator 3 and the moving part 402 or the sensing part 403. The position of the clearance groove 3a is determined according to the actual installation of the separator 3.

[0055] Based on the above settings, to facilitate the connection of the separator strip 3 to the base plate 1, as follows: Figures 1 to 4As shown, the separator 3 is provided with a connector 5, which connects the separator 3 to the base plate 1. As an optional embodiment of the connector 5, the connector 5 includes a locking pin 501 threaded onto the separator 3; at least two locking pins 501 are provided along the length direction of the separator 3; the base plate 1 is provided with through holes 1b, and multiple through holes 1b are distributed along the width direction of the base plate 1, and at least two rows of through holes 1b are provided for the locking pins 501 to pass through.

[0056] By setting the connector 5 as a locking pin 501, it is easy to fix or separate the separator 3 from the base plate 1, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the separator 3 on the base plate 1 according to the width of the film, and helping to improve the stability of the separator 3 after it is connected to the base plate 1.

[0057] It is understandable that the number of locking pins 501 set on a single partition strip 3 is sufficient to ensure that the partition strip 3 will not automatically shift or fall off from the base plate 1 after being connected to the base plate 1. Therefore, as an optional implementation method, specifically, in implementation, the number of locking pins 501 set on a single partition strip 3 is three, and for this purpose, three rows of through holes 1b are opened on the corresponding base plate 1.

[0058] Based on the connector 5 including the locking pin 501, in order to prevent the locking pin 501 from scratching the film feeder 401, the through hole 1b is flared on the side opposite to the separator strip 3 so that the head of the locking pin 501 does not protrude from the base plate 1. By setting the through hole 1b to be flared, the entire side wall of the base plate 1 is made to fit against the film feeder 401, making the base plate 1 more stable against the film feeder 401 while preventing the locking pin 501 from scratching the film feeder 401.

[0059] As an optional implementation of the through hole 1b, in specific implementation, the through hole 1b is circular, and the distance between adjacent through holes 1b can be set between 2mm and 5mm, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between adjacent separators 3 or the distance between separators 3 and width limiting plate 2, so as to make the industrial film scanner suitable for films of different widths.

[0060] To further increase the stability of the base plate 1 adhering to the wafer feeder 401, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a hook 6 is fixedly connected to the top plate of the base plate 1, and the hook 6 is hooked onto the film feeder 401. By setting the hook 6, the base plate 1 can be prevented from sliding along the film conveying direction, thereby improving the stability of the base plate 1 after it is attached to the film feeder 401.

[0061] To protect the film and reduce damage during film scanning, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the base plate 1, the width limiting plate 2, and the separator strip 3 are all coated with an anti-scratch layer 7. The anti-scratch layer 7 helps to reduce wear and tear caused by the scanning process during film scanning.

[0062] Understandably, the anti-scratch layer 7 is formed on the base plate 1, the width limiting plate 2, and the separator strip 3 by powder coating, which helps to improve the adhesion of the anti-scratch layer 7 and prevent it from falling off, and also makes the thickness of the anti-scratch layer 7 more uniform. As an optional powder coating material for the anti-scratch layer 7, thermoplastic powders such as polyethylene and polypropylene or polyester resin powder can be used as raw materials.

[0063] The industrial film scanner loading auxiliary device described in this application adjusts the distance between the separator strip 3 and the width limiting plate 2, as well as the distance between the separator strips 3 themselves, before scanning multiple films of different widths. The films are then placed sequentially between the separator strips 3 and the width limiting plate 2, and finally placed at the corresponding sensor 403 position. By setting multiple adjustable separator strips 3 on the base plate 1, the industrial film scanner can batch process films of various mixed sizes, while avoiding interference caused by film skew during scanning of multiple films. This facilitates the simultaneous scanning of multiple films of different widths.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connector 5 includes pins 502 fixedly connected to the partition strip 3, and at least two pins 502 are provided along the length direction of the partition strip 3; pin holes 1c are provided on the base plate 1, and multiple pin holes 1c are distributed along the width direction of the base plate 1, and at least two rows of pin holes 1c are provided for the pins 502 to be inserted for tensioning.

[0066] As set above, by setting the connector 5 as a pin 502 and making the pin 502 interference fit and tightened into the pin hole 1c, it is easy to insert and remove the separator 3 on the base plate 1, thereby making the industrial film scanner more suitable for working conditions with different film widths and requiring constant adjustment of the spacing between adjacent separators 3, which helps to improve work efficiency.

[0067] It is understandable that the number of pins 502 provided on a single partition strip 3 is sufficient to ensure that the partition strip 3 is securely connected to the base plate 1 without tilting or falling off on its own. Therefore, as an optional implementation, in this embodiment, a single partition strip 3 is provided with three pins 502, and correspondingly, three rows of pin holes 1c are opened on the base plate 1.

[0068] Example 3

[0069] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiments 1 and 2 is that, as Figures 8 to 10As shown, the connector 5 includes a slider 503a and an adjusting bolt 503b; the end face area of ​​the slider 503a near the separator 3 is smaller than the end face area away from the separator 3; the adjusting bolt 503b passes through the separator 3 and is threadedly connected to the slider 503a; a sliding hole 1d is provided on the base plate 1 along its own width direction, and the slider 503a is located in the sliding hole 1d and can slide or be locked in the sliding hole 1d along the opening direction of the sliding hole 1d.

[0070] Based on the above settings, when the connector 5 is configured to include a slider 503a and an adjusting bolt 503b, it can achieve stepless adjustment of the distance between adjacent separators 3 or between separators 3 and width limiting plate 2, so that the film will not tilt when it is located between adjacent separators 3 or between separators 3 and width limiting plate 2, thereby improving the scanning quality of the film.

[0071] It is understood that, as an optional implementation of the slider 503a, the slider 503a can be configured in the shape of a frustum or a truncated cone, such that the end face area of ​​the slider 503a near the separator 3 is smaller than the end face area away from the separator 3. With this configuration, rotating the adjusting bolt 503b causes the slider 503a to press against or move away from the base plate 1. When the slider 503a separates from the base plate 1, the slider 503a, adjusting bolt 503b, and separator 3 can slide along the opening direction of the sliding hole 1d. When the slider 503a presses against the base plate 1, the relative positions of the slider 503a, adjusting bolt 503b, and separator 3 with the base plate 1 are determined, and the slider 503a is locked within the sliding hole 1d.

[0072] To further improve the connection stability between the separator 3 and the base plate 1, at least two sliders 503a are provided along the length of the separator 3; at least two sliding holes 1d are provided for the sliders 503a to be inserted.

[0073] As an optional implementation of slider 503a, three adjusting bolts 503b are set on the same dividing strip 3, and three sliders 503a are connected to the corresponding dividing strip 3. When set as above, three sliding holes 1d are opened on the base plate 1.

[0074] Example 4

[0075] This utility model also proposes an industrial film scanner, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the industrial film scanner is equipped with the industrial film scanner film feeding auxiliary device described above.

[0076] The industrial film scanner described in this utility model, by assembling the film feeding auxiliary device for the industrial film scanner as described above, effectively avoids interference caused by film skew when scanning multiple films, and has the effect of facilitating the simultaneous scanning of multiple films of different widths.

[0077] Understandably, as one implementation of an industrial film scanner, specifically, the industrial film scanner includes a scanner body 4, which has a film feeder 401, and a moving part 402 and a sensing part 403 on the film feeder 401. The moving part 402 is used to assist in the transport of film, and the sensing part 403 is a photoelectric sensor used to sense the film. When assembling the industrial film scanner film feeding auxiliary device onto the industrial film scanner, the clearance hole 1a should be aligned with the moving part 402 and the sensing part 403.

[0078] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
