X-ray Device Elastic Connecting Assembly for Uneven Surface Imaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
X-ray devices face challenges in capturing clear images of objects with uneven or inclined surfaces due to the inability to maintain proper contact and alignment, leading to suboptimal image quality without increasing radiation output.
Innovation Solution
The X-ray device incorporates a zoom ring-like object and an elastic connecting assembly that allows the X-ray generator and zoom ring-like object to be inclined relative to the casing, enabling the contact member to adjust and maintain flat contact with the object's surface, and includes pressure sensors and driving members to automatically adjust the inclination angle for precise targeting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the X-ray device uses a fixed rigid connection between the X-ray generator and casing, then the structural stability is improved, but the ability to capture images of objects with uneven surfaces deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by replacing the fixed rigid connection with an elastic connecting assembly that allows dynamic adjustment. The elastic connecting assembly enables the zoom ring-like object and X-ray generator to incline relative to the casing, allowing the device to adapt to uneven surfaces while maintaining structural stability through the elastic connection mechanism.
2Manufacturing precision
If the X-ray device increases radiation output to improve image quality, then the image quality is improved, but the safety and radiation exposure deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical approach of increasing radiation output with a mechanical adjustment system that optimizes the geometric alignment between the X-ray generator, zoom ring-like object, and object surface. By using the elastic connecting assembly and driving members to achieve proper inclination and contact, the system improves image quality through mechanical optimization rather than increasing radiation exposure.
3Ease of operation
If the X-ray device uses manual adjustment for inclination, then the ease of operation is improved, but the measurement precision and targeting accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the feedback principle by incorporating pressure sensors that detect the contact state between the zoom ring-like object and the object surface. The sensing information is fed back to the control unit, which automatically adjusts the inclination angle through driving members, achieving precise targeting without requiring manual adjustment while maintaining ease of operation through automated control.

Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration allows the X-ray device to capture clear images of objects with uneven surfaces without increasing radiation output and minimizes manual force, ensuring high image quality and precise targeting.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic connecting assembly... such that the zoom ring-like object or both the zoom ring-like object and the X-ray generator are inclinable relative to the casing
Implementation Method 2
measuring a plurality of pressures of the X-ray device by a plurality of pressure sensors when a zoom ring-like object of the X-ray device is pressed against an object to be imaged
Implementation Method 3
high dense tissues of a human body (e.g., bones) can absorb more X-rays and thus reduce the amount of the X-rays reaching an X-ray film, thereby leaving shadows on the X-ray film
