Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical design technology, and specifically relates to a foldable flat panel detector. Background Technology
[0002] A flat panel detector (FPD) is a key device for digital imaging, widely used in medical imaging (such as X-rays and CT scans), industrial inspection (such as non-destructive testing), and security checks (such as airport security). The concept of a flat panel detector first appeared in the 1990s, and with the development of semiconductor and digital imaging technologies, it has gradually become a mature imaging device. Its core idea is to directly convert radiation (such as X-rays) into digital signals, thereby achieving efficient and high-quality digital imaging.
[0003] Traditional X-ray detectors are typically fixed in structure, large in size, and lack flexibility, making them unsuitable for detecting objects with complex shapes. The emergence of foldable X-ray flat panel detectors aims to solve these problems, improving the portability and flexibility of the detector. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing equipment suffers from large detector size, poor flexibility, and difficulty in adapting to the detection needs of objects with complex shapes. The emergence of the foldable X-ray flat panel detector aims to address these problems and improve the portability and flexibility of the detector.
[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is to provide a foldable flat panel detector.
[0006] Furthermore, it includes a first flat panel detector, a second flat panel detector is provided on the right side of the first flat panel detector, both the top surfaces of the first and second flat panel detectors are provided with glass, a support and rotation device is provided between the first and second flat panel detectors, a damping device is provided on each side of the support and rotation device that is close to each other, a flexible protective shell is provided outside the damping device, and a temporary fixing device is provided on the side of the damping device that is close to each other. The damping device and the temporary fixing device are located between the first and second flat panel detectors.
[0007] By using the above technical solution, and by setting up a support rotation device, a damping device, and a temporary fixing device, the folding function of the flat panel detector can be realized, so that the flat panel detector can have two usage states: unfolded and folded. Moreover, the flat panel detector can be folded and stored to prevent the glass from being damaged by bumps when not in use.
[0008] Furthermore, the supporting rotation device includes a first rotating part, which is fixedly connected to a first flat plate detector. A first fixing part is provided outside the first rotating part. The first fixing part and a second flat plate detector are fixedly connected. A fixing rod is inserted into the middle of both the first rotating part and the first fixing part. The first rotating part and the fixing rod are rotatably connected.
[0009] The above technical solution achieves the folding function of the first flat panel detector and the second flat panel detector by inserting a fixed rod into the first rotating part and the first fixed part, and by the cooperation of the first rotating part and the first fixed part.
[0010] Furthermore, the damping device includes a gear roller, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the middle of the gear roller, the rotating rod passing through the gear roller, and support parts rotatably connected to both ends of the rotating rod, the support parts being fixedly connected to the first flat plate detector and the second flat plate detector respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the gear rollers, rotating rods, and support parts are all symmetrically arranged, and the gear rollers mesh with each other.
[0012] Through the above technical solution, by setting a damping device between the first and second flat plate detectors, and by rotating the support and the rotating rod, the gear rollers on the connecting rod mesh with each other, so that the first and second flat plate detectors generate a damping sensation during the folding process, making the opening and closing process smoother, avoiding discomfort caused by excessively fast or slow movements, and buffering the impact force when folding or unfolding.
[0013] Furthermore, the temporary fixing device includes a second rotating part, which is fixedly connected to the first flat plate detector. Steel balls are arranged in a ring on both the front and rear sides of the second rotating part. A spring is fixedly connected to the side of the steel ball near the second rotating part. The spring is fixedly connected to the second rotating part, and the spring is located inside the second rotating part.
[0014] Furthermore, the temporary fixing device includes a second fixing part, which is fixedly connected to the second flat plate detector. The second fixing part and the second rotating part are correspondingly arranged. The second fixing part is provided with an annular groove on the side near the second rotating part. The annular groove is provided with a plurality of fixing holes. The fixing holes and the annular groove are all corresponding to the steel balls.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, by setting a spring and a steel ball on the second rotating part, and setting an annular groove and a fixing hole on the second fixing part, the spring abuts against the steel ball and slides in the annular groove during the folding process of the first and second flat plate detectors. When the folding flat plate detector is in the working state of glass facing up and glass facing both sides, the steel ball falls into the fixing hole for temporary fixation. When the two sides of the folding flat plate detector are facing each other and enter the storage state, the steel ball also falls into the fixing hole for temporary fixation.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] This utility model, by setting a first flat plate detector and a second flat plate detector, and setting a supporting rotation device, a damping device and a temporary fixing device between the first flat plate detector and the second flat plate detector, and setting a flexible protective shell outside the damping device, can realize the folding function of the flat plate detector, so that the flat plate detector can have two usage states: unfolded use and folded use. Moreover, the flat plate detector can be folded and stored to prevent the glass from being damaged by bumps when not in use. Attached Figure Description

The support and rotation device 5 includes a first rotating part 501, which is fixedly connected to the first flat panel detector 1. A first fixing part 502 is provided outside the first rotating part 501, which is fixedly connected to the second flat panel detector 2. A fixing rod 503 is inserted into the middle of both the first rotating part 501 and the first fixing part 502. The fixing rod 503 is used to limit the position of the first rotating part 501 and the first fixing part 502 and cooperates with the rotation of the first rotating part 501. The first rotating part 501 and the fixing rod 503 are rotatably connected.
[0027] Damping devices 6 are provided on both sides of the supporting rotating device 5. The damping device 6 includes a gear roller 601. A rotating rod 602 is fixedly connected to the middle of the gear roller 601. The rotating rod 602 passes through the gear roller 601. The gear rollers 601 are used to mesh with each other to generate a damping sensation, avoiding discomfort caused by excessively fast or slow movements, and can buffer the impact force when folding or unfolding. Support parts 603 are rotatably connected to both ends of the rotating rod 602. The support parts 603 are fixedly connected to the first flat plate detector 1 and the second flat plate detector 2, respectively. The gear rollers 601, rotating rod 602 and support parts 603 are symmetrically arranged. The gear rollers 601 mesh with each other. A flexible protective shell 4 is provided on the outside of the damping device 6. The flexible protective shell 4 is used to protect the internal structure and prevent dust and foreign objects from entering. Temporary fixing devices 7 are provided on both sides of the damping device 6.
[0028] The temporary fixing device 7 includes a second rotating part 701, which is fixedly connected to the first flat panel detector 1. Steel balls 706 are arranged in annular rings on both the front and rear sides of the second rotating part 701. A spring 705 is fixedly connected to the side of the steel ball 706 closest to the second rotating part 701. The spring 705 is fixedly connected to the second rotating part 701 and is located inside the second rotating part 701. The temporary fixing device 7 also includes a second fixing part 702, which is fixedly connected to the second flat panel detector 2. The second fixing part 702 and the second rotating part 701 are correspondingly arranged. An annular groove 703 is provided on the side of the second fixing part 702 closest to the second rotating part 701. The annular groove 703 is used to cooperate with the sliding of the steel ball 706. Several fixing holes 704 are provided inside the annular groove 703. The fixing holes 704 are used to temporarily fix the steel ball 706, facilitating the use of the flat panel detector in different states. The fixing holes 704 and the annular groove 703 are both corresponding to the steel ball 706. The damping device 6 and the temporary fixing device 7 are located between the first flat panel detector 1 and the second flat panel detector 2.
[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the support rotation device 5 set between the first flat plate detector 1 and the second flat plate detector 2 is connected to the first rotating part 501 and the first fixed part 502 through the fixed insertion rod 503. The folding function of the first flat plate detector 1 and the second flat plate detector 2 is realized through the mutual cooperation of the first rotating part 501 and the first fixed part 502. The damping device 6 is set between the first flat plate detector 1 and the second flat plate detector 2. Through the rotational connection of the support part 601 and the rotating rod 602, the gear roller 603 set on the rotating rod 602 meshes with each other, so that the first flat plate detector 1 and the second flat plate detector 2 generate a damping feeling during the folding process, making the opening and closing process smoother and avoiding discomfort caused by too fast or too slow movement. It can buffer the impact force when folding or unfolding.
[0030] The damping device 6 is equipped with a flexible protective shell 4 to protect the internal structure and prevent dust and foreign objects from entering. A temporary fixing device 7 is set between the first flat plate detector 1 and the second flat plate detector 2. A spring 705 and a steel ball 706 are set on the second rotating part 701, and an annular groove 703 and a fixing hole 704 are set on the second fixing part 702. During the folding process of the first flat plate detector 1 and the second flat plate detector 2, the spring 705 abuts against the steel ball 706 and slides in the annular groove 703. When the folding flat plate detector is in the working state of glass 3 facing upward and glass 3 to both sides, the steel ball 706 falls into the fixing hole 704 for temporary fixing. When the two sides of the glass 3 of the folding flat plate detector are facing each other and enter the storage state, the steel ball 706 also falls into the fixing hole 704 for temporary fixing.
