Rotating Table Panel Assembly for Compact X-Ray Imaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing X-ray imaging systems require large spaces for scanning and maintenance due to the need for a table panel to move relative to the base, complicating the process and increasing space requirements.
Innovation Solution
A table panel assembly with a rotating shaft allows the table panel to be flipped outward, creating an accommodating space for a detector that can move in transverse and longitudinal directions, reducing the space needed for scanning and maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the table panel is floatingly mounted on the base and can move relative to the base, then the region of interest of the object under examination can reach the region of the detector, but the space required for scan room and examination table region becomes large
Solution Approach 1:
The table panel is connected to the support frame through a rotating shaft, enabling dynamic rotation between the table panel and support frame. This dynamic connection allows the table panel to adjust its position relative to the detector while maintaining a compact structure, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and space requirement.
2Ease of operation
If the table panel is floatingly mounted on the base, then the table panel can move relative to the base for scanning, but the maintenance and replacement process becomes complicated and requires large space
Solution Approach 1:
The examination table is divided into distinct segments: the base, the support frame, and the table panel. The table panel is connected to the support frame through a rotating shaft, allowing it to be independently rotated and removed. This segmentation enables easy maintenance and replacement of the table panel without affecting the base and support frame, while still allowing smooth scanning operations.
3Productivity
If the table panel is floatingly mounted on the base, then scanning can be performed, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame is integrated with the base, forming a unified structure. The table panel is connected to the support frame through a rotating shaft, merging the support function and the rotation function into a single integrated mechanism. This merging reduces structural complexity compared to having a floatingly mounted table panel that requires separate mounting and positioning mechanisms.
