[0024] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, this application provides an X-ray inspection device, including: a first conveying mechanism, including a first mounting frame 110, a second mounting frame 120, and a conveying assembly 130. The second mounting frame 120 is disposed at the end of the first mounting frame 110 and can be tilted downward relative to the first mounting frame 110. The conveying assembly 130 is disposed between the first mounting frame 110 and the second mounting frame 120, and the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 130 is towards the second mounting frame 120. The conveying assembly 130 is used to convey products; an X-ray inspection mechanism 200, including a housing and an inspection assembly, wherein the housing is provided with... The first mounting frame 110 is used to place the conveying component 130 through the housing, and the detection component is located inside the housing. The detection component is used to detect whether there are foreign objects in the product. The receiving mechanism includes a first receiving tray 310 and a second receiving tray 320, which are located at the ends of the second mounting frame 120. When the second mounting frame 120 is horizontally connected to the first mounting frame 110, the conveying component 130 is connected to the first receiving tray 310. When the second mounting frame 120 is tilted downward relative to the first mounting frame 110, the conveying component 130 is connected to the second receiving tray 320.

[0025] During operation, the conveying component 130 conveys the product into the housing, where it is inspected by the detection component. If the inspected product is free of defects, the second mounting bracket 120 is horizontally connected to the first mounting bracket 110, connecting the end of the conveying component 130 to the first receiving tray 310. The product is then conveyed into the first receiving tray 310 via the conveying component 130. If the inspected product contains foreign objects, the second mounting bracket 120 is tilted downwards relative to the first mounting bracket 110, connecting the end of the conveying component 130 to the second receiving tray 320. The product is then conveyed into the second receiving tray 320 via the conveying component 130. The X-ray inspection equipment of this embodiment can detect the presence of foreign objects in a product and automatically remove products containing foreign objects, thereby reducing labor intensity, improving work efficiency, ensuring product quality, and enhancing safety.

[0026] The first mounting bracket 110 is equipped with a rotating shaft 140, and the second mounting bracket 120 is connected to the rotating shaft 140, which is connected to a motor. When a foreign object is detected in the product being inspected, the motor drives the rotating shaft 140 to rotate in a first direction, causing the second mounting bracket 120 to tilt downward relative to the first mounting bracket 110. At this time, the end of the conveying assembly 130 is connected to the second receiving tray 320 to convey the product into the second receiving tray 320. After the conveying is completed, the motor drives the rotating shaft 140 to rotate in a second direction, causing the second mounting bracket 120 to be horizontally connected to the first mounting bracket 110. At this time, products that have passed inspection can be conveyed into the first receiving tray 310.

[0027] It should be noted that the rotation of the second mounting bracket 120 can also be achieved by a cylinder. The cylinder drives the second mounting bracket 120 to rotate around the rotating shaft 140, thereby making the second mounting bracket 120 horizontally connected to the first mounting bracket 110 or the second mounting bracket 120 tilted downward relative to the first mounting bracket 110. The structure is simple and the operation is stable.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, in this embodiment, the conveying assembly 130 includes a first conveying wheel 131, a second conveying wheel 132, a conveyor belt 133, and a guide wheel 134. The first conveying wheel 131 is disposed at the end of the first mounting frame 110 away from the second mounting frame 120, the second conveying wheel 132 is disposed at the end of the second mounting frame 120 away from the first mounting frame 110, the conveyor belt 133 is wound between the first conveying wheel 131 and the second conveying wheel 132, and the guide wheel 134 is disposed between the first mounting frame 110 and the second mounting frame 120, and is used to guide the conveyor belt 133. By providing the guide wheel 134 between the first mounting frame 110 and the second mounting frame 120, the normal operation of the conveyor belt 133 can be ensured when the second mounting frame 120 is tilted downward relative to the first mounting frame 110, thereby improving the safety and stability of the equipment.

[0029] Of course, the conveying assembly 130 may also include a first conveying unit and a second conveying unit, which are respectively disposed on the first mounting frame 110 and the second mounting frame 120. The product is conveyed by the first conveying unit to the second conveying unit, and then to the first receiving tray 310 or the second receiving tray 320. Those skilled in the art can make reasonable choices regarding the structural configuration of the conveying assembly 130 according to actual conditions, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0030] Furthermore, baffles 150 are provided on both sides of the first mounting frame 110, with the baffles 150 positioned above the conveyor belt 133. The first mounting frame 110 is also equipped with a support 160, and the baffles 150 are connected to the support 160. By providing the baffles 150, the sides of the product can be restricted, preventing the product from detaching from the sides of the conveyor belt 133 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the conveying process. Specifically, the support 160 includes a base, a fixing rod, and a connecting rod. The base is mounted on the first mounting frame 110, the fixing rod is vertically mounted on the base, the fixing rod has a slider, the connecting rod is connected to the slider, and the baffles 150 are connected to the connecting rod. By adopting the above structure, the height of the baffles 150 can be adjusted to accommodate products of different specifications, expanding the applicability range and facilitating adjustment.

[0031] In this embodiment, the detection component includes an X-ray generator and an X-ray detector, which are positioned facing each other. When the product is conveyed into the housing, the X-rays emitted by the X-ray generator irradiate the product and are received by the X-ray detector, thereby confirming the presence of foreign objects inside the product and achieving product detection. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. The detection principle of the X-ray generator and X-ray detector is prior art, and this application does not impose any limitations on it.

[0032] It is conceivable that multiple sets of detection components can be set up, and multiple sets of detection components can also be set inside the chamber through angle adjustment components, thereby enabling detection from multiple perspectives, solving the problem of blind spots in detection, and improving detection accuracy.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments of this application, the X-ray inspection equipment further includes a second conveying mechanism 400. An opening is provided on one side of the first receiving tray 310, and the second conveying mechanism 400 is connected to the opening. A vibrator is provided on the first receiving tray 310. Products in the first tray are conveyed from the opening to the second conveying mechanism 400 under the action of the vibrator, and then undergo automatic packaging and other processes via the second conveying mechanism 400 to improve automation and work efficiency. Further, the bottom surface of the first receiving tray 310 is set as a slope, tilting downwards towards the opening side, and a ramp is provided on the side of the first receiving tray 310. By setting the bottom surface as a slope and tilting downwards towards the opening side, products can easily enter the second conveying mechanism 400 from the opening, resulting in a simple structure and easy operation. The ramp on the side of the first receiving tray 310 can guide the products, improving conveying efficiency.

[0034] The second conveying mechanism 400 is configured as a conveyor belt 133, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0035] It is easy to understand that the first mounting bracket 110 is equipped with a guide plate 330, which is located below the second mounting bracket 120. The guide plate 330 is used to guide the product into the second receiving tray 320. By providing the guide plate 330, the product can be guided into the second receiving tray 320, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the operation.

[0036] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
