Description

Radiographic Inspection System and Method for Electronic Products

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202411630229.3, filed on November 14, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of security inspection technology, and more specifically, to a radiation inspection system and method for electronic products. Background Technology

[0003] Currently, there is no dedicated security inspection equipment for detecting electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, and smart wearable devices. Traditional X-ray security inspection equipment mainly focuses on larger dangerous items, such as controlled knives, firearms, ammunition, and flammable and explosive materials. The pixels of traditional X-ray security inspection equipment are typically around 1.6mm, which is insufficient for detecting electronic products, resulting in unclear images and an inability to detect hidden dangers. Furthermore, it requires a transport device, occupies a large area, and has a large scanning area, making it unsuitable for electronic product inspection. Another type of portable X-ray inspection equipment is mainly used for explosion-proof inspections. However, because portable X-ray inspection equipment lacks protective devices, a relatively large protective distance is required during inspection, limiting its application scenarios.

[0004] In summary, neither of these two types of X-ray security inspection equipment is suitable for inspecting electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets. Therefore, in the field of electronic product security inspection, there are no effective means to detect dangerous practices such as additional modifications to electronic products, the addition of small chips, alterations to circuits, and / or the storage of small amounts of explosives within them. This makes electronic products a potential threat to health and property safety in some situations requiring security inspection. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One aspect of this disclosure provides a radiation detection system for electronic products, comprising: a radiation-proof housing having a receiving cavity; a radiation source disposed in the receiving cavity; a loading device disposed in the receiving cavity for placing an electronic product to be inspected, wherein the side of the loading device not covered by the receiving cavity is made of radiation-proof material; a detector disposed in the receiving cavity, wherein the radiation source and the detector are respectively located on opposite sides of the loading device; and a control device disposed outside the radiation-proof housing and communicatively connected to both the radiation source and the detector, for controlling the radiation source to emit a beam and receiving scanning images from the detector, processing the scanning images to obtain detection results.

The loading device is slidably disposed within the receiving cavity, facilitating the loading and unloading of electronic products to be inspected and improving inspection efficiency. Simultaneously, with the X-ray source and detector located on opposite sides of the loading device, and the loading device slidably disposed within the receiving cavity, the size of the X-ray inspection system can be reduced while still achieving efficient and accurate inspection of electronic products, thereby reducing the system's footprint. Furthermore, compared to portable X-ray inspection equipment in related technologies, the X-ray inspection system of this disclosure is protected by a radiation-proof housing, thus eliminating the need for a large protective distance during inspection and allowing for flexible application scenarios.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first object carrier has a first object carrier area, and the second object carrier has a second object carrier area. Both the first object carrier area and the second object carrier area are X-ray scanning areas of the X-ray source, and the area of ​​the first object carrier area is smaller than the area of ​​the second object carrier area.

[0013] In some embodiments, the control device includes: a processor housing connected to the radiation shielding housing and having a mounting cavity; a processor disposed within the mounting cavity and communicatively connected to both the radiation source and the detector, for controlling the radiation source to emit a beam and receiving scanned images from the detector, processing the scanned images to obtain detection results; and a display mounted on the processor housing and communicatively connected to the processor, for displaying the scanned images and / or detection results.

[0014] In some embodiments, the radiation detection system for the electronic product further includes: a pop-up button, which is communicatively connected to the processor and sends a pop-up signal to the processor in response to a trigger operation; the processor is communicatively connected to the loading device and controls the loading device to pop out from the receiving cavity; wherein the pop-up button is a virtual button compiled by a program and displayed on the display; and / or the pop-up button is a mechanical button located on the radiation shielding housing.

[0015] In some embodiments, the radiation detection system for electronic products further includes a roller disposed below the radiation shielding housing.

[0016] One aspect of this disclosure provides a method for X-ray inspection of electronic products, for use in accordance with the X-ray inspection system for electronic products as described above, comprising: in response to a trigger operation of a beam output button, a control device receives a beam output signal and controls a X-ray source to output a beam; a detector generates a scanned image of the electronic product to be inspected and sends it to the control device; the control device compares and analyzes the scanned image with a pre-stored standard image of a standard product to obtain a detection result.

[0017] According to the X-ray inspection method for electronic products according to embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a trigger operation of the beam emission button, a control device receives a beam emission signal and controls the X-ray source to emit a beam. A detector generates a scanned image of the electronic product to be inspected and sends it to the control device. The control device compares and analyzes the scanned image with a pre-stored standard image of a standard product to obtain the inspection result. Therefore, the X-ray inspection system for electronic products can be easily implemented for safe inspection.

[0018] In some embodiments, before the step of the control device comparing and analyzing the scanned image with a pre-stored standard image of a standard product to obtain a detection result, the method further includes: correcting the scanned image to match the imaging angle of the standard image; the step of the control device comparing and analyzing the scanned image with a pre-stored standard image of a standard product to obtain a detection result includes: the control device comparing and analyzing the corrected scanned image with the standard image to obtain a detection result.

[0030] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of this disclosure. Additionally, the various embodiments and technical features provided below can be combined with each other in any manner.

[0031] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this disclosure. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," etc., as used herein indicate the presence of said features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components. All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly rigid manner.

[0032] Currently, there is no dedicated security inspection equipment for detecting electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, and smart wearable devices. Traditional X-ray security inspection equipment mainly focuses on larger dangerous items, such as controlled knives, firearms, ammunition, and flammable and explosive materials. The pixels of traditional X-ray security inspection equipment are typically around 1.6mm, which is insufficient for detecting electronic products, resulting in unclear images and an inability to detect hidden dangers. Furthermore, it requires a transport device, occupies a large area, and has a large scanning area, making it unsuitable for electronic product inspection. Another type of portable X-ray inspection equipment is mainly used for explosion-proof inspections. However, because portable X-ray inspection equipment lacks protective devices, a relatively large protective distance is required during inspection, limiting its application scenarios.

[0033] In summary, neither of these two types of X-ray security inspection equipment is suitable for inspecting electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets. Therefore, in the field of electronic product security inspection, there are no effective means to detect dangerous practices such as additional modifications to electronic products, the addition of small chips, alterations to circuits, and / or the storage of small amounts of explosives within them. This makes electronic products a potential threat to health and property safety in some situations requiring security inspection.

[0034] This disclosure provides an X-ray inspection system and method for electronic products. The X-ray inspection system for electronic products has the advantages of small size, flexible application scenarios, and high inspection efficiency.

[0035] The following description, with reference to Figures 1-3, describes an X-ray inspection system 100 and a method for inspecting electronic products according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the radiation detection system 100 for electronic products according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a radiation shielding housing 1, a radiation source 2, a carrying device 3, a detector 4, and a control device 5.

[0037] Specifically, referring to Figure 1, the radiation shielding shell 1 has a receiving cavity; the radiation source 2 is located in the receiving cavity; the carrying device 3 is slidably located in the receiving cavity for placing the electronic product to be tested, and the side of the carrying device 3 not covered by the receiving cavity is made of radiation shielding material; the detector 4 is located in the receiving cavity, and the radiation source 2 and the detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrying device 3; the control device 5 is located outside the radiation shielding shell 1 and is communicatively connected to both the radiation source 2 and the detector 4, and is used to control the beam output of the radiation source 2 and receive the scanning image of the detector 4, process the scanning image, and obtain the detection result.

[0038] Understandably, placing the radiation source 2, the object carrier 3, and the detector 4 within the radiation shielding housing 1 protects security personnel and reduces the risk of radiation damage when the radiation source 2 emits a beam to inspect the electronic product on the object carrier 3. The enclosure facilitates the placement of the radiation source 2, the object carrier 3, and the detector 4 within the radiation shielding housing 1.

[0039] This disclosure arranges the carrier device 3 as a push-pull structure installed within the receiving cavity. This allows for easy placement of the electronic product to be inspected when the carrier device 3 is pulled out. After pushing the carrier device 3 containing the electronic product into the receiving cavity, security checks on the electronic product can begin. After the inspection is complete, pulling out the carrier device 3 allows for removal of the electronic product. This arrangement of the carrier device 3 reduces the overall size of the radiation detection system 100 while facilitating the placement and removal of the electronic product. The side of the carrier device 3 not enclosed by the receiving cavity is made of radiation-shielding material to prevent radiation leakage during inspection and thus protect the safety of security personnel.

[0040] In some embodiments where the radiation source 2 and detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrying device 3, in the vertical direction, the radiation source 2 and detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrying device 3. For example, the radiation source 2 is located above the carrying device 3, and the detector 4 is located below the carrying device 3; or, for example, the radiation source 2 is located below the carrying device 3, and the detector 4 is located above the carrying device 3. In some examples, in the horizontal direction, the radiation source 2 and detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrying device 3. For example, the radiation source 2 is located on the left side of the carrying device 3, and the detector 4 is located on the right side of the carrying device 3; or, for example, the radiation source 2 is located on the right side of the carrying device 3, and the detector 4 is located on the left side of the carrying device 3. In some examples, the radiation source 2 and the detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrying device 3 in the front-back direction. For example, the radiation source 2 is located in front of the carrying device 3 and the detector 4 is located behind the carrying device 3; or for example, the radiation source 2 is located behind the carrying device 3 and the detector 4 is located in front of the carrying device 3.

[0041] The X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products according to embodiments of this disclosure protects the health of security personnel when the X-ray source 2, the carrier device 3, and the detector 4 are located within a radiation-proof housing 1. The carrier device 3 is slidably disposed within the housing, facilitating the loading and unloading of electronic products and improving inspection efficiency. Furthermore, the X-ray source 2 and detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrier device 3, and the slidable placement of the carrier device 3 within the housing allows for efficient and accurate inspection of electronic products while reducing the overall size and floor space required for the X-ray inspection system 100. Additionally, compared to portable X-ray inspection equipment in related technologies, the X-ray inspection system 100 of this disclosure is protected by the radiation-proof housing 1, eliminating the need for a large protective distance during inspection and allowing for flexible application scenarios.

[0042] Security personnel may include everyone near the X-ray detection system 100 during the security check, including but not limited to operators of the X-ray detection system 100 and owners of electronic products. Communication connections may include signal connections and electrical connections; electrical connections may include wire connections.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the radiation source 2 and the detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrying device 3 in different directions, requiring the carrying device 3 to have different fixing methods for electronic products.

[0044] For example, in the vertical direction, the X-ray source 2 and the detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrier device 3. The placement surface of the carrier device 3 for placing electronic products can be a plane, and the electronic products can be placed on the placement surface during detection. Alternatively, a first fixing part can be provided on the placement surface of the carrier device 3 for placing electronic products. The first fixing part can be formed by at least a portion of the placement surface being recessed downwards, and the electronic products can be placed on the recessed first fixing part. Alternatively, a second fixing part can be provided on the placement surface of the carrier device 3 for placing electronic products. The second fixing part can be at least two protrusions, and the at least two protrusions are arranged along the circumference of the electronic products.

[0045] For example, in the left-right direction, the radiation source 2 and the detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrier device 3. A third fixing part, which can be a groove, can be provided on the surface of the carrier device 3 where the electronic product is placed, so that the electronic product can be inserted into the groove to make the surface to be scanned parallel to the radiation source 2 and the detector 4. Alternatively, a fourth fixing part, which can be at least two protrusions, can be provided on the surface of the carrier device 3 where the electronic product is placed, so that the electronic product can be inserted between at least two protrusions to make the surface to be scanned parallel to the radiation source 2 and the detector 4. Alternatively, a fifth fixing part, which can be a clamping member, can be provided on the surface of the carrier device 3 where the electronic product is placed, so that the electronic product can be clamped by the clamping member to make the surface to be scanned parallel to the radiation source 2 and the detector 4.

[0046] For example, in the front-back direction, the radiation source 2 and the detector 4 are located on opposite sides of the carrier device 3. A sixth fixing part, which can be a groove, can be provided on the surface of the carrier device 3 where the electronic product is placed, so that the electronic product can be inserted into the groove to make the surface to be scanned parallel to the radiation source 2 and the detector 4. Alternatively, a seventh fixing part, which can be at least two protrusions, can be provided on the surface of the carrier device 3 where the electronic product is placed, so that the electronic product can be inserted between at least two protrusions to make the surface to be scanned parallel to the radiation source 2 and the detector 4. Alternatively, an eighth fixing part, which can be a clamping member, can be provided on the surface of the carrier device 3 where the electronic product is placed, so that the electronic product can be clamped by the clamping member to make the surface to be scanned parallel to the radiation source 2 and the detector 4.

[0047] It is understood that the placement surface of the electronic product in the carrier device 3 of this disclosure can be a plane, on which the electronic product is placed directly. A fixing part can be provided on the placement surface to fix the electronic product, preventing it from tipping over, and simultaneously aligning the surface of the electronic product to be scanned parallel to the X-ray source 2 and detector 4 for easier scanning. The carrier device 3 of this disclosure can undergo modifications including but not limited to the above-mentioned variations according to actual needs. Any modifications to the fixing method of the electronic product in the carrier device 3 based on actual conditions are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products further includes a positioning device located in the receiving cavity. This positioning device detects whether the carrying device 3 reaches a predetermined position when pushed into the receiving cavity. The predetermined position can be understood as the limit position of the carrying device 3 when pushed into the receiving cavity; in other words, the predetermined position can be the position where the carrying device 3 and the receiving cavity are properly aligned. Once the carrying device 3 and the receiving cavity are properly aligned, the carrying device 3 does not need to be pushed further in. At this time, the surface of the electronic product on the carrying device 3 is located within the scanning area of ​​the X-ray source 2. When an electronic product to be inspected is placed on the carrying device 3, the safety inspection can begin once the carrying device 3 reaches the predetermined position in the receiving cavity.

[0049] In some examples, when the loading device 3 is pushed into the receiving cavity to reach the set position, the loading device 3 and the receiving cavity can be interlocked by a locking device. In this example, the positioning device can be communicatively connected to the locking device.

[0050] The positioning device disclosed herein can detect whether the carrying device 3 has reached a predetermined position when it is pushed into the receiving cavity. Therefore, on the one hand, when an electronic product to be inspected is placed on the carrying device 3, the inspection will only begin after the carrying device 3 has reached the predetermined position, ensuring that the electronic product can be fully scanned and guaranteeing the quality of security inspections. On the other hand, the predetermined position is the location where the carrying device 3 and the receiving cavity mechanically engage. Detecting that the carrying device 3 has reached the predetermined position before starting inspection reduces radiation leakage, thereby protecting the health of security personnel.

[0051] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the positioning device is communicatively connected to the control device 5. When the carrying device 3 is pushed into the receiving cavity and reaches the set position, the positioning device sends a positioning signal to the control device 5, and the control device 5 controls the X-ray source 2 to emit a beam. Thus, automatic beam emission detection can be achieved while ensuring the quality of security checks and protecting the safety of security personnel, saving the effort of security personnel.

[0052] Furthermore, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products may also include a presence sensor, which is communicatively connected to the control device 5. When the presence sensor detects that an object is placed on the carrying device 3 and the carrying device 3 is pushed into the receiving cavity to reach a set position, the control device 5 controls the X-ray source 2 to emit a beam; otherwise, no beam is emitted. This avoids wasting resources by emitting a beam from the X-ray source 2 when there is no electronic product on the carrying device 3.

[0053] According to other embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG1, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products may further include a beam-out button, which is communicatively connected to the control device 5. In response to a trigger operation, the beam-out button sends a beam-out signal to the control device 5. A positioning device is also communicatively connected to the control device 5. When the carrying device 3 is pushed into the receiving cavity and reaches a set position, the positioning device sends a positioning signal to the control device 5. When the control device 5 receives both the positioning signal and the beam-out signal, it controls the X-ray source 2 to emit a beam. It is understood that when the control device 5 receives the positioning signal, it indicates that the carrying device 3 has been pushed into the set position. The control device 5 only controls the X-ray source 2 to emit a beam after receiving the beam-out signal, provided that the positioning signal has been received. This allows for the safe inspection of electronic products while ensuring the quality of security checks and protecting the safety of security personnel. Security personnel can trigger the beam-out button, thereby sending a beam-out signal to the control device 5, which facilitates the security personnel in controlling the timing of security checks and makes the security inspection of electronic products more flexible in operational scenarios.

[0054] It should be noted that control device 5 controls the X-ray source 2 to emit a beam when it receives both the positioning signal and the beam emission signal. However, if control device 5 only receives the positioning signal and not the beam emission signal, it will not control the X-ray source 2 to emit a beam. Similarly, if control device 5 only receives the beam emission signal and not the positioning signal, it will not control the X-ray source 2 to emit a beam. This avoids the problem of accidental activation of the beam emission button, preventing the transport device 3 from being pushed into the set position, thus avoiding X-ray leakage and resource waste.

[0055] In some examples, the beam exit button can be a virtual button generated by an algorithm, and the control device 5 includes a display 52, such as a display screen, on which the beam exit button is displayed. Security personnel can touch the beam exit button on the display screen to trigger the beam exit button.

[0056] In some examples, the beam emission button can be a mechanical button located on the radiation shielding housing 1. For instance, the beam emission button can be a different color from the radiation shielding housing 1, making it easier for security personnel to quickly locate it. Of course, the beam emission button can also be the same color as the radiation shielding housing 1; there is no limitation here.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products may further include a stop beam emission button. The stop beam emission button is communicatively connected to the control device 5 and, in response to a trigger operation, sends a stop beam emission signal to the control device 5. When the control device 5 receives the stop beam emission signal, it controls the X-ray source 2 to stop emitting the beam. Thus, when the inspection is completed, security personnel can promptly trigger the stop beam emission button, thereby stopping the X-ray source 2 from emitting the beam and saving resources.

[0058] In some examples, the stop beam ejection button can be a virtual button generated by an algorithm. The control device 5 includes a display 52, such as a display screen. The stop beam ejection button is displayed on the display screen, and security personnel can touch the stop beam ejection button on the display screen to trigger the stop beam ejection button.

[0059] In some examples, the stop beam emission button can be a mechanical button located on the radiation shielding housing 1. For instance, the stop beam emission button can be a different color from the radiation shielding housing 1, making it easier for security personnel to quickly locate it. Of course, the stop beam emission button can also be the same color as the radiation shielding housing 1; there is no limitation here. Similarly, the stop beam emission button can be a different color from the beam emission button, making it easier for security personnel to quickly distinguish between the beam emission button and the stop beam emission button. Of course, the stop beam emission button can also be the same color as the beam emission button; there is no limitation here.

[0060] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the radiation-shielding material on the side of the carrying device 3 not enclosed by the cavity is tempered lead-containing glass. This ensures that radiation cannot leak from the carrying device 3 during inspection and harm security personnel, while allowing electronic products to remain within the line of sight of all personnel on site, thus avoiding misunderstandings.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the carrying device 3 may include a first carrying element 31 and a second carrying element 32. The first carrying element 31 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity for placing the electronic product to be tested, and the side of the first carrying element 31 not covered by the receiving cavity is made of radiation-shielding material; the second carrying element 32 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity for placing the electronic product to be tested, and the side of the second carrying element 32 not covered by the receiving cavity is made of radiation-shielding material. In the direction from the radiation source 2 to the detector 4, the radiation source 2, the first carrying element 31, the second carrying element 32, and the detector 4 are arranged sequentially at intervals. It is understood that by including the first carrying element 31 and the second carrying element 32 in the carrying device 3, the radiation detection system 100 has two detection spaces, which is convenient for deployment and use.

[0062] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG2, the first object carrier 31 has a first object carrier region 311, and the second object carrier 32 has a second object carrier region 321. Both the first object carrier region 311 and the second object carrier region 321 are X-ray scanning regions of the X-ray source 2, and the area of ​​the first object carrier region 311 is smaller than the area of ​​the second object carrier region 321. It should be noted that the first object carrier 31 is closer to the X-ray source 2, has a smaller imageable area, a larger magnification, and a higher image resolution, making it suitable for inspecting small electronic products such as mobile phones. The second object carrier 32 is closer to the detector 4, has a larger imageable area, a smaller magnification, and a lower image resolution, making it suitable for inspecting slightly larger electronic products such as tablet computers. Since processing the first object carrier region 311 and the second object carrier region 321 requires resources, adapting the area of ​​the first object carrier region 311 to be smaller than the area of ​​the second object carrier region 321 can save resources.

[0063] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG1, the control device 5 may include a processor housing 51, a processor, and a display 52. ​​Specifically, the processor housing 51 is connected to the radiation shielding housing 1 and has a mounting cavity; the processor is disposed in the mounting cavity and is communicatively connected to both the radiation source 2 and the detector 4, and is used to control the beam output of the radiation source 2 and receive the scanning images from the detector 4, process the scanning images, and obtain detection results; the display 52 is mounted on the processor housing 51 and is communicatively connected to the processor, and is used to display the scanning images and / or detection results. It is understood that the processor housing 51 facilitates the mounting of the processor and the display 52 on the radiation shielding housing 1, making the overall structure of the radiation detection system 100 for electronic products compact and small in size. The processor housing 51 protects the processor and provides support for the display 52. ​​The processor enables the radiation detection system 100 to process the scanning images and obtain detection results. The display 52, which shows the scanning images and / or detection results, facilitates security personnel in obtaining scanning image information and / or detection results.

[0064] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG1, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products may further include a pop-up button 8, which is communicatively connected to a processor and sends a pop-up signal to the processor in response to a trigger operation. The processor is communicatively connected to a loading device 3 and controls the loading device 3 to pop out from the receiving cavity. The pop-up button 8 is a virtual button compiled by a program and displayed on a display 52; and / or the pop-up button 8 is a mechanical button and is located on the radiation shielding housing 1.

[0065] Understandably, the eject button 8 allows security personnel to eject the carrying device 3 from the receiving cavity according to the actual situation, thereby facilitating the retrieval of electronic products or the repair of components of the X-ray inspection system 100, etc. Regarding the eject button 8 being a virtual button and / or a mechanical button, it can be understood as: the eject button 8 is a virtual button; it can be understood as the eject button 8 is a mechanical button; it can be understood as both a virtual button and a mechanical button, meaning that both virtual and mechanical buttons exist simultaneously. Therefore, in the event of a power outage and the virtual button being unusable, triggering the mechanical button can forcibly eject the carrying device 3.

[0066] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG1, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products may further include an emergency stop button 9. The emergency stop button 9 is communicatively connected to a processor and, in response to a trigger operation, sends an emergency stop signal to the processor, which then controls the electrical components of the X-ray inspection system 100 to stop operating. Thus, in the event of an accident, the X-ray inspection system 100 can be stopped from continuing operation in a timely manner, reducing potential losses.

[0067] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG1, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products may further include a beam emission indicator 7, thereby allowing security personnel to understand the working status of the X-ray source 2 by observing the brightness of the beam emission indicator 7.

[0068] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG1, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products may further include a power indicator light 6, thereby allowing security personnel to understand the power-on status of the X-ray inspection system 100 by observing the brightness of the power indicator light 6.

[0069] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG1, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products may further include a key switch 11, which can be pulled out when the X-ray inspection system 100 is not in use, thereby ensuring that unauthorized persons cannot operate the X-ray inspection system 100.

[0070] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG1, the X-ray inspection system 100 for electronic products may further include rollers 10, which are disposed below the radiation shielding housing 1. This facilitates the movement of the X-ray inspection system 100, allowing for rapid deployment in various application scenarios. The rollers 10 are equipped with a locking mechanism; once adjusted to the correct position, the rollers 10 can be locked to secure the X-ray inspection system 100.

[0071] As shown in FIG3, the X-ray inspection method for electronic products according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is used in accordance with the X-ray inspection system for electronic products as described above. The X-ray inspection method includes operations S110-S130.

[0072] In operation S110, in response to the triggering operation of the beam output button, the control device receives the beam output signal and controls the X-ray source to output the beam.

[0073] When operating S120, the detector generates a scanned image of the electronic product to be inspected and sends it to the control device.

[0074] In operation S140, the control device compares and analyzes the scanned image with a pre-stored standard image of a standard product to obtain the test result.

[0075] According to the X-ray inspection method for electronic products according to embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a trigger operation of the beam emission button, a control device receives a beam emission signal and controls the X-ray source to emit a beam. A detector generates a scanned image of the electronic product to be inspected and sends it to the control device. The control device compares and analyzes the scanned image with a pre-stored standard image of a standard product to obtain the inspection result. Therefore, the X-ray inspection system for electronic products can be easily implemented for safe inspection.

[0076] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, before the step of operating the control device in S140 to compare and analyze the scanned image with a pre-stored standard image of a standard product to obtain the detection result, the method further includes operating S130.

[0077] In operation S130, the scanned image is corrected to match the imaging angle of the standard image.

[0078] The step of operating the control device S140 to compare and analyze the scanned image with the standard image of the pre-stored standard product to obtain the test result includes operation S141: the control device compares and analyzes the corrected scanned image with the standard image to obtain the test result.

[0079] Understandably, a standard image is generally an image of a standard product positioned upright relative to a mounting device. Taking a mobile phone as an example, "upright" can be understood as placing the phone in the center of the mounting area of ​​the device, with the edge of the phone near the top edge of the device parallel to the top edge of the device. However, the electronic product to be tested may be tilted. Due to the tilted product, the imaging angle of the scanned image obtained by the control device will be inconsistent with that of the standard image, making it difficult to analyze and compare the scanned image and the standard image. Therefore, correcting the scanned image to match the imaging angle of the standard image facilitates the comparison and analysis of the scanned image and the standard image, resulting in more accurate detection results.

[0080] Of course, the standard image is not limited to the image of the standard product when it is placed upright relative to the carrier device. The standard image can also be the image of the standard product at an angle relative to the carrier device, as long as the scanning image is corrected to match the imaging angle of the standard image when the scanning image is corrected.
