Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of X-ray detection technology, specifically to a collimator for X-ray detection. Background Technology
[0002] In X-ray collimator field-of-view testing, in X-ray photon detection for spatial positioning purposes, in addition to the X-ray photons from the target being detected, there are also noise signals entering the field of view radiated from all directions within the detector's field of view. In order to accurately test the field of view angle of the X-ray collimator, a collimator is required.
[0003] A known Chinese patent (Publication No.: CN201921536031.3) discloses a collimator for X-ray inspection, comprising a support column, a base, a self-focusing lens, a measuring lens aperture, and a screw. A first base is located at the upper left corner of the upper surface of the base, and a support column is vertically fixed to the first base. A screw sleeve is fitted onto the support column, and a fixing frame is fixed to the screw sleeve by fixing bolts. The self-focusing lens is installed on the right side of the fixing frame. A second base is located at the lower right corner of the upper right side of the base. This collimator for X-ray inspection has a reasonable overall structure, mainly featuring a self-focusing lens and a measuring lens aperture. The heights of both the self-focusing lens and the measuring lens aperture are easily adjustable. The self-focusing lens can rotate on the support column via the screw sleeve, and the screw sleeve can move up and down on the support column, facilitating changes in the height of the self-focusing lens. The height of the measuring lens aperture is mainly changed by the up and down movement of a slider. The adjustment method is simple, convenient for daily operation, and practical.
[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the above-mentioned collimator for X-ray inspection has the following problems: it is difficult to prevent dust from falling on the self-focusing lens when it is not in use, and dust easily falls on the self-focusing lens. Therefore, when the self-focusing lens is used again, it is necessary to clean the self-focusing lens, which affects the work efficiency. Therefore, a collimator for X-ray inspection is proposed.
