Detector Box Locking and Charging Structure for Stable Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional detector boxes for flat panel detectors in mobile X-ray devices are inconvenient to use, as they often deform under external forces, making it difficult to securely lock or clamp the detector, and their size compatibility issues lead to instability during transport and charging.
Innovation Solution
A detector box with a housing featuring an accommodating cavity, a locking mechanism to prevent the detector from leaving, and a charging assembly that includes a charging head driven by an elastic element, allowing secure insertion and automatic charging of the detector.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a detector box is provided with a housing to protect the detector, then the detector is protected from damage, but the device complexity increases and the detector may be damaged within the housing over time
Solution Approach 1:
The detector is nested within the housing structure, with the housing serving as a protective outer shell that contains the detector and its mounting components. This nesting approach provides protection while integrating multiple functions (mounting, protection, positioning) into a single compact structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing is segmented into distinct components including the outer housing structure, mounting brackets, and positioning elements. This segmentation allows for modular assembly, easier maintenance, and replacement of individual components without affecting the entire detector assembly.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the detector is mounted rigidly to the housing, then the detector position is stable, but the detector may be damaged by stress from housing movement or thermal expansion
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting method transitions from rigid fixed-position mounting to flexible mounting that allows positional adjustment within a range. This parameter change in mounting flexibility enables the detector to accommodate housing movement and thermal expansion while maintaining stable operational positioning through adjustable mounting brackets.
3Manufacturing precision
If the detector is mounted using a fixed position, then the detector alignment is precise, but the detector cannot be adjusted if misalignment occurs or requirements change
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system transitions from a static fixed-position mounting to a dynamic adjustable mounting system. The mounting brackets are designed with adjustment mechanisms that allow the detector position to be modified after installation, enabling both precise initial alignment and subsequent adaptability for repositioning or recalibration.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure is pre-configured with adjustment capabilities built into the design before installation. This preliminary incorporation of adjustability features allows for easy repositioning and realignment without requiring complex modification procedures later, facilitating both precise initial setup and future adaptability.
