Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radiation inspection technologies are limited by unidirectional scanning modes that prevent continuous scanning of multiple rows of objects, low use efficiency, and inability to inspect objects from opposite directions without repositioning, along with a fixed inspection angle that hinders analysis of complex goods.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If unidirectional scanning mode is used, then the inspection channel can be simplified, but continuous scanning of multiple rows of objects cannot be achieved, resulting in low use efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The traveling wheels are designed to rotate 90° to change the direction of movement from along the inspection channel to perpendicular to it, enabling the apparatus to dynamically switch between scanning different rows of objects and achieving continuous scanning of multiple rows
Solution Approach 2:
The scanning operation is extended from one dimension (along the inspection channel) to two dimensions by adding perpendicular movement capability through the 90° rotation of traveling wheels, allowing the apparatus to scan multiple rows of objects continuously
2Ease of operation
If unidirectional scanning mode is used, then the device structure can be simplified, but bidirectional scanning of objects cannot be achieved without moving objects
Solution Approach 1:
The traveling wheels can rotate 90° in place to change the scanning direction, enabling the apparatus to perform bidirectional scanning of objects without requiring physical movement of the objects themselves
Solution Approach 2:
The traveling wheels undergo periodic 90° rotations to switch between scanning different directions and rows, creating a cyclic operation pattern that enables continuous bidirectional scanning of multiple rows
3Measurement precision
If unitary inspection viewing angle is used, then the device structure can be simplified, but analysis of complex goods within objects cannot be effectively performed
Solution Approach 1:
The ray source and detector are configured with variable included angles relative to the inspection channel extension direction, allowing dynamic adjustment of the inspection viewing angle to achieve optimal imaging of complex goods from different angles
Solution Approach 2:
The included angle between the ray beam and the extension direction of the inspection channel is made variable, enabling continuous adjustment of the inspection parameters to adapt to different inspection requirements and improve image quality of complex objects
