Conformal tray for x-ray inspection

Abstract

The utility model discloses a shape follow-up tray for x-ray inspection. The shape follow-up tray comprises a tray body, positioning points, springs, supporting columns, supporting column bosses and supporting column mounting holes. In the working process, a worker places a workpiece on the supporting columns of the tray, the supporting columns move downwards under the influence of the weight of the workpiece, the bosses of the supporting columns compress the springs downwards, and the supporting columns not making contact with the workpiece and the sunken supporting columns form height difference, so that a veneering model is integrally formed, and the workpiece is fixed. And when the workpiece is picked up, the spring recovers to push the boss of the supporting column upwards, so that the supporting column recovers to the original position. In the using process, if it is found that the supporting columns are abraded, only the single abraded supporting column needs to be pulled out of the supporting column installation holes to be replaced, the situation of overall replacement is avoided, and cost losses are reduced.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of X-ray inspection, specifically a conformal tray for X-ray examination. Background Technology

[0002] During X-ray inspection, X-ray machines utilize X-rays to penetrate objects. Materials of different densities absorb X-rays differently, thus forming an image on film or a digital detector. This allows for the inspection of internal structures without damaging the workpiece. This is crucial for quality control, especially for critical components such as automotive engine parts or aerospace components, where any internal defects can lead to serious safety issues. Currently, during X-ray inspection, different inspection trays need to be changed depending on the product being inspected to ensure accuracy. When inspecting small batches of various products, the frequency of tray changes increases, and the accumulated changeover time significantly impacts X-ray inspection efficiency. Frequent changes also shorten the tray's lifespan. When parts of the tray's supports are damaged, the non-removable components often necessitate the replacement of the entire tray, increasing costs. Therefore, there is a need for a conformal tray for X-ray inspection that is suitable for multiple products, reduces changeover frequency, facilitates replacement, and avoids the need for complete tray replacement in case of damage. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a conformal tray for X-ray inspection, which can not only reduce the replacement cycle of the inspection tray under high standards and quickly complete the inspection of most workpieces, but also enable the replacement of key local components, reducing the cost of overall replacement.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a conformal tray for X-ray examination, comprising: a tray body having positioning holes for fixing it on an examination platform, dozens of support columns on the tray body, and springs between the support columns and the tray body.

[0005] Preferably, a boss is provided on the support column, and the diameter of the spring is slightly larger than the mounting hole of the support column, so that the spring is located between the boss and the tray body, providing the support column with a vertical force for sinking and restoring.

[0006] Preferably, a spring with a suitable elastic coefficient can be selected based on the type and shape of the workpiece for use.

[0007] Preferably, the support column replacement design is more convenient; the support column can be replaced simply by pulling it out.

[0008] Preferably, the tray body is provided with positioning holes for fixing to the X-ray machine inspection platform.

[0009] In actual use, when the workpiece is placed on the support column, the support column sinks under the influence of gravity, forming a conformal shape, thus fixing the workpiece. It is suitable for various workpiece types and eliminates the need for type-specific replacement operations. When the service life reaches its limit or the support column is damaged due to an accident, only the faulty support column needs to be replaced, without the need to replace the entire pallet. Disassembly is also convenient, reducing the investment of manpower and resources. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The exemplary embodiments described below and illustrated in the drawings are intended to teach the principles of the present invention, enabling those skilled in the art to implement and use the present invention in various environments and for various applications. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, and the exemplary embodiments are not intended, and should not be considered, a limiting description of the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, for ease of description, the same elements in the drawings are indicated by the same or similar reference numerals, and the dimensions of the various parts shown are not necessarily drawn to actual scale. Regarding orientational descriptions, such as the longitudinal direction corresponding to the length of the main body, the circumferential direction relative to the axis, and the orientations or positional relationships indicated by up, down, left, right, top, bottom, etc., are all based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. The following description of the various embodiments emphasizes the differences between them. The similarities or similarities can be referred to each other. For the sake of brevity, they will not be described in detail. The technical features of the different embodiments can be freely combined to form more embodiments according to design needs.

[0014] The details and operation of the specific device proposed according to this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] The device mainly consists of a tray body 1, positioning holes 2, springs 3, support columns 4, support column bosses 5, and support column mounting holes 6.

[0016] The pallet body 1 is provided with a fixing positioning hole 2, which allows employees to fix the pallet on the testing platform.

[0017] The tray is designed as a conformal tray to adapt to the inspection requirements of different workpieces, and partial replacement can be performed when parts are worn, avoiding the cost of replacing the entire component. The support column 4 is installed in the support column mounting hole 6 on the tray body 1, allowing it to move up and down against the hole wall. The support column 4 is provided with a support column boss 5, and a spring 3 is installed between the boss and the support column mounting hole 6. The spring 3 can be selected with different elastic coefficients according to the median weight of most workpieces.

[0018] When the workpiece is placed on the pallet body 1, the support column 4 automatically sinks according to the shape of the workpiece, and responds to the surrounding support columns 4 that have not sunk, so as to form a corresponding shape fixing mold.

[0019] The mounting hole 6 of the support column is a through hole.

[0020] During operation, employees place the workpiece on the pallet support column 4. The support column 4 moves downwards due to the weight of the workpiece, causing the support column boss 5 to compress the spring. The height difference between the support column 4 not in contact with the workpiece and the sunken support column 4 creates a contoured shape, thus securing the workpiece. When the workpiece is lifted, the spring 3 returns to its original position, pushing the support column boss 5 upwards and returning the support column 4 to its original position. If wear is found on the support column 4 during use, only the worn support column 4 needs to be removed from the support column mounting hole 6 for replacement, avoiding the need for complete replacement and reducing costs.

[0021] In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "linked," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or a connection within two components or an interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances. Although the present invention has been described with reference to various specific embodiments, it should be understood that modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the described inventive concept. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention be limited to the described embodiments but will have the full scope defined by the language of the appended claims.
