Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial X-ray machine technology, and in particular to a light source emitting mechanism for an industrial X-ray machine. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial X-ray machines, as a type of non-destructive testing equipment, are widely used in many fields such as industrial production, aerospace, and automobile manufacturing. Utilizing the penetrating properties of X-rays, they can clearly display the internal structure and defects of the object being inspected, thus providing strong evidence for product quality control and fault diagnosis. In practical applications, the light source emitting mechanism of an industrial X-ray machine typically involves the following key components:

[0003] 1. The X-ray tube is the core component that generates X-rays. It consists of a cathode and an anode. The cathode filament is heated and emits electrons. The electrons strike the anode target under the action of a high voltage electric field to generate X-rays.

[0004] 2. The high voltage generator provides high voltage to the X-ray tube, ensuring that electrons obtain sufficient energy. Its output voltage can be adjusted between tens of kilovolts and hundreds of kilovolts according to the detection requirements.

[0005] 3. The filament power supply is used to heat the cathode filament of the X-ray tube. A stable filament current can control the number of electrons emitted, thereby stabilizing the X-ray intensity.

[0006] Currently, to meet diverse industrial inspection needs, manufacturers have developed various types of industrial X-ray machine light source emitting mechanisms. Some manufacturers use fixed-focus X-ray tubes, combined with high-precision collimators, to enable the X-ray beam to more accurately irradiate the target area; others optimize the performance of high-voltage generators to improve the energy stability of X-rays; and still others innovate in cooling systems by using new heat dissipation materials to enhance heat dissipation efficiency.

[0007] However, the above-described implementation still has the following problems. In terms of filtering, replacing filters in traditional industrial X-ray machines is very cumbersome, often requiring specialized tools and disassembling multiple components, which consumes a lot of time. In terms of X-ray tube position adjustment, the X-ray tube position of many light source emitting mechanisms is fixed. When encountering objects with irregular shapes or requiring multi-angle detection, the X-ray emission position cannot be flexibly changed, making it difficult to fully obtain internal information of the object and meet complex detection needs. To address this problem, this application proposes a solution: designing an industrial X-ray machine light source emitting mechanism with a filter ring that is easy to disassemble and whose X-ray tube position is adjustable. This mechanism can quickly replace the filter ring to adapt to different detections and flexibly adjust the X-ray tube position, greatly improving the accuracy and adaptability of the detection.

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a light source emitting mechanism for an industrial X-ray machine. It solves the problems of traditional industrial X-ray machines where changing filters is cumbersome, often requiring specialized tools and disassembling multiple components, which consumes a lot of time. Furthermore, many light source emitting mechanisms have fixed X-ray tube positions, making it impossible to flexibly change the X-ray emission position.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0010] An industrial X-ray machine's light source emitting mechanism includes an X-ray machine body, which comprises a frame, a controller, a display screen, and a detection platform.

A support bracket for support is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing ring. A filter for filtering the light source is disposed below the support bracket. Two fixing plates are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting ring. Hexagonal screws are movably sleeved in both fixing plates. A slot is formed on the lower surface of the support bracket, in which two push plates for pushing are movably engaged. A set of threaded holes is formed through the annular side of the connecting column, and the set of threaded holes are respectively threadedly sleeved with two hexagonal screws.

[0011] Preferably, a return spring is fixedly connected to the back of each of the two push plates, and both return springs are fixedly connected to the slot. A clamping block for clamping is fixedly connected to the opposite surface of each of the two push plates, and both clamping blocks are movably engaged with the filter.

[0012] Preferably, both the fixed ring and the connecting ring have two threaded rods fixedly connected to their annular sides, and each pair of threaded rods has a hexagonal nut threaded onto its annular side. Each pair of threaded rods has two connecting plates movably sleeved onto its annular side for connection.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The two clamping blocks are reset by the elastic force of the two reset springs, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​of the filter. Selecting a suitable filter according to the material and thickness of the object being inspected can better meet the inspection requirements. The filter's easy-to-disassemble design allows for quick replacement according to changes in materials, thereby optimizing the inspection effect.

[0015] 2. As the connecting ring moves, the fixing ring also moves, thereby moving the filter and maintaining consistency with the X-ray tube position. The overall assembly design facilitates later inspection and maintenance, and the adjustable X-ray tube position meets the usage needs and improves the comprehensiveness of the inspection.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that changing filters in traditional industrial X-ray machines is very cumbersome, often requiring specialized tools and disassembling multiple components, which consumes a lot of time. Furthermore, in terms of X-ray tube position adjustment, the X-ray tube position of many light source emitting mechanisms is fixed, and the X-ray emission position cannot be flexibly changed. The overall approach is as follows:

[0025] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a light source emitting mechanism for an industrial X-ray machine, including an X-ray machine body. The X-ray machine body includes a frame 1, a controller 2, a display screen 3, and a detection platform 4. An X-ray tube 6 for emitting a light source is arranged on the top of the frame 1. A connecting post 5 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the frame 1. A connecting ring 7 and a fixing ring 8 are movably sleeved on the annular side of the connecting post 5. The connecting ring 7 is fixedly connected to the X-ray tube 6. A support bracket 9 for support is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing ring 8. A filter 16 for filtering the light source is arranged below the support bracket 9. Two fixing plates 15 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting ring 7. Hexagonal screws 14 are movably sleeved in both fixing plates 15. A slot 20 is opened on the lower surface of the support bracket 9. Two push plates 18 for pushing are movably locked in the slot 20. A set of threaded holes 10 are opened through the annular side of the connecting post 5. The set of threaded holes 10 are respectively connected to the two... A hexagonal screw 14 is threaded and connected. During use, the X-ray machine body is placed either parallel or vertically depending on the sample being tested. When placed vertically, an external device needs to be connected via controller 2 to display the image. The industrial sample to be tested is placed on the testing platform 4, and X-rays are emitted through the X-ray tube 6 for testing. The test image will be displayed on the screen 3 or an external device. The push plate 18 is pushed back and forth, causing the clamping block 17 fixed thereto to move together, compressing the two return springs 19. At this time, the filter 16 is placed between the two clamping blocks 17. The elastic force of the two return springs 19 causes the two clamping blocks 17 to return to their original positions, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​of the filter 16. Selecting a suitable filter 16 according to the material and thickness of the object being tested can better adapt to the testing requirements. The easy-to-disassemble design of the filter 16 allows for quick replacement according to changes in materials, thereby optimizing the testing effect.

[0026] Both push plates 18 have a return spring 19 fixedly connected to their back sides. Both return springs 19 are fixedly connected to the slot 20. Both push plates 18 have clamping blocks 17 fixedly connected to their opposite sides. Both clamping blocks 17 are movably engaged with the filter 16. The annular sides of the fixing ring 8 and connecting ring 7 are each fixedly connected to two threaded rods 11. The annular sides of the two pairs of threaded rods 11 are threaded with hexagonal nuts 12. The annular sides of the two pairs of threaded rods 11 are respectively movably fitted with two connecting plates 13 for connection. During testing, rotating the hexagonal screw 14 disengages it from the connecting post 5, opening the limit switch. The connecting ring 7... The X-ray tube 6 can be moved on the connecting column 5. The X-ray tube 6 can be moved up and down to select a suitable position to meet the detection needs. After the movement is completed, it is connected and fixed by hexagonal screws 14. The connecting ring 7 is connected to the fixing ring 8 by two connecting plates 13 and two pairs of threaded rods 11, and is limited and fixed by two pairs of hexagonal nuts 12. As the connecting ring 7 moves, the fixing ring 8 also moves, thereby driving the filter 16 to move and always maintaining the consistency with the position of the X-ray tube 6. The overall assembly design facilitates the later detection and maintenance. The adjustable position of the X-ray tube 6 meets the usage needs and improves the comprehensiveness of the detection.

[0034] Fixing ring 8: Fixed on connecting column 5, supporting filter 16 through bracket 9. The threaded rod 11 on its annular side cooperates with connecting plate 13 and hexagonal nut 12.

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] During use, the X-ray machine body can be placed parallel or vertically depending on the sample being tested. When placed vertically, an external device needs to be connected via controller 2 to display the image. The industrial sample to be tested is placed on the testing platform 4, and X-rays are emitted through the X-ray tube 6 for testing. The test image will be displayed on the screen 3 or an external device. The push plate 18 is pushed back and forth, causing the clamping block 17 fixed to it to move together, compressing the two return springs 19. At this time, the filter 16 is placed between the two clamping blocks 17. The elastic force of the two return springs 19 causes the two clamping blocks 17 to return to their original positions, thus achieving the snap-fit ​​of the filter 16. Selecting a suitable filter 16 according to the material and thickness of the object being tested can better adapt to the testing requirements. The design of the filter 16 for easy disassembly can be adjusted according to the material. The system allows for rapid replacement of components, thus optimizing the detection results. During the detection process, rotating the hexagonal screw 14 disengages it from the connecting post 5, opening the limit switch. The connecting ring 7 can then move on the connecting post 5, selecting a suitable position to meet the detection requirements. After movement, it is reconnected and fixed using the hexagonal screw 14. The connecting ring 7 is connected to a fixing ring 8 via two connecting plates 13 and two pairs of threaded rods 11, and is fixed by two pairs of hexagonal nuts 12. As the connecting ring 7 moves, the fixing ring 8 also moves, thereby moving the filter 16 and maintaining consistency with the position of the X-ray tube 6. The overall assembly design facilitates subsequent detection and maintenance, and the adjustable position of the X-ray tube 6 meets the usage requirements and improves the comprehensiveness of the detection.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations.
