[0015] (2) Through the transmission connection between the sprocket and the chain, the sliding block inside the electric guide rail at both ends can be moved by the second drive motor, which facilitates the movement of the first crossbeam in the X-axis direction. Through the connecting action of the connecting plate, the second crossbeam can be controlled to move synchronously with the first crossbeam, which facilitates the position adjustment of the X-ray receiving plate and the X-ray emitter in the X-axis direction.
[0016] (3) The rotating rod is driven to rotate by the second rotary motor, which can make the first gear and the third gear rotate synchronously. Through the meshing connection of the first gear and the second gear, and the meshing connection of the third gear and the fourth gear, the first threaded rod and the second threaded rod can be driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the first nut seat and the second nut seat to move synchronously. This facilitates the position adjustment of the X-ray receiving plate and the X-ray emitter in the Y-axis direction, while ensuring that the X-ray receiving plate and the X-ray emitter are on the same vertical line, which is convenient for detecting the porosity of the casting by X-ray.

The combined action of the T-shaped slide groove 25 and the I-shaped slider 26 can also improve the accuracy of the second crossbeam 27 during sliding, thus facilitating the precise positioning of the X-ray emitter 33 and the precise scanning of the casting.

The protective box door 35 has handles 36 installed on both sides of its outer wall. The protective box door 35 has an observation window 37 installed inside. After the casting is placed inside the protective box 1, the protective box 1 can be sealed by closing the protective box door 35, ensuring that X-ray leakage is completely blocked when closed. The handles 36 make it easy for the operator to manually open and close the protective box door 35, ensuring that the operator can easily open and close it. The observation window 37 is made of transparent glass, which allows the operator to directly observe the inspection process while shielding the radiation, and to confirm the casting positioning, scanning status or abnormal conditions.
