[0035] In some further preferred embodiments, the interface module 120 includes an ID card recognition module 1200, a barcode recognition module 1201, and a row of data conversion interfaces 1202 spaced apart. The ID card recognition module 1200, the barcode recognition module 1201, and the row of data conversion interfaces 1202 are all connected to the main control module 2. The ID card recognition module 1200 and the barcode recognition module 1201 are arranged side-by-side above the row of data conversion interfaces 1202. It should be noted that the interface module 120 includes the ID card recognition module 1200 and the barcode recognition module 1201, and is combined with the data conversion interfaces 1202 to form a multi-functional interface module 120. It should be noted that the interface module 120 of conventional medical devices is mainly used for data transmission and power supply, and its function is relatively simple. In this embodiment, the interface module 120 adds identity verification and barcode recognition, which can expand the applicable scenarios and convenience of the interface module 120. The ID card recognition module 1200 and barcode recognition module 1201 can quickly verify user identity or associate detection information, making them suitable for scenarios requiring efficient management of multiple users, such as mobile medical examination vehicles, hospitals, and schools. The barcode recognition supports hospital barcode systems and can seamlessly integrate with users' medical information systems, thereby improving the automation and accuracy of the detection process. Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple data conversion interfaces 1202 are arranged at certain intervals, allowing connection to various external devices. The interval design avoids physical interference between interfaces and facilitates simultaneous connection of multiple external devices, such as handwriting tablets and smartphones. It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the ID card recognition module 1200 and barcode recognition module 1201 are arranged side-by-side above a row of data conversion interfaces 1202, thus optimizing the usage order and user experience.

[0036] In some further preferred embodiments, the housing inlet 110 is provided with a radiation-proof sleeve 116, through which the user's hand extends into the detection port 100 and the detection channel 101 during the detection, thereby preventing X-ray leakage and protecting the user and the operating physician.

[0037] In some further preferred embodiments, the X-ray detection box module 10 includes a shielded enclosure 102, a digital detector 103, an X-ray source 104, a wiring harness 105, and a radiation source support 106. The detection port 100 is located at the upper end of the shielded enclosure 102, the detection channel 101 is located inside the upper end of the shielded enclosure 102, the digital detector 103 is mounted above the detection channel 101, and the X-ray source 104, the wiring harness 105, and the radiation source support 106 are all mounted inside the bottom end of the shielded enclosure 102. The X-ray source 104 is mounted on the radiation source support 106, and the wiring harness 105 is mounted above the X-ray source 104. It should be noted that the shielded enclosure 102 can be used to block X-ray leakage to the outside of the detection channel 101, protecting users and operators from radiation damage. The shielded enclosure 102 can also reduce interference from ambient light or other radiation on the X-ray detection system, ensuring image quality. Specifically, the shielded enclosure 102 can be made of high-density materials (such as lead or special alloys), whose high absorption rate effectively reduces X-ray leakage. The digital detector 103, located above the detection channel 101, directly receives X-ray signals penetrating the hand, maximizing image clarity and resolution. Furthermore, the vertical detection path provides a simple image data structure, reducing the complexity of image processing algorithms. The digital detector 103 converts the X-rays penetrating the hand into high-resolution digital images, which are then transmitted to the main control module 2 for analysis and storage. The X-ray source 104 is installed inside the bottom of the shielded enclosure 102, ensuring a stable and accurate radiation emission path and reducing the impact of external vibrations or the environment. The radiation is emitted vertically from the bottom, passing through the detection channel 101 to the digital detector 103, resulting in a short and refractive imaging path, improving image quality. The X-ray source 104 is enclosed at the bottom of the enclosure, minimizing the risk of radiation leakage and accidental exposure. The beam harness 105 is used to define the X-ray beam shape to a specific width or shape, ensuring that the radiation is concentrated on the hand area, avoiding radiation waste or diffusion. The X-ray source bracket 106 securely mounts the X-ray source 104 inside the bottom of the chassis, preventing the X-ray emission path from shifting due to vibration or changes in the operating environment. The detection port 100 is located at the top of the shielded chassis 102, and the detection channel 101 connects to the inside of the chassis, allowing users to directly place their hands into the channel for testing.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, an extension platform 117 is provided on one side of the housing 11, and a printer is mounted on the platform of the extension platform 117.
