X-ray Detecting Apparatus Circuit Board Structural Support

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing x-ray detecting apparatuses have inefficiencies in internal structure design, leading to suboptimal space utilization and additional support requirements for the detecting panel.

Innovation Solution

An x-ray detecting apparatus with a housing, a detecting panel, a circuit board, and a supporting member that forms a lattice or honeycomb structure to accommodate electronic components, where the circuit board is bonded to both the detecting panel and the supporting member, and a shielding layer is used to shield x-rays, maximizing space and reducing the need for separate support components.
