The composition of system of the present invention:
According to the element composition of examined object body and the needs of physical dimension and inspection, but the present invention's specific design is different transillumination electric pressures, additional or not additional scatter imaging system, different channel cross-section size, the vertical or horizontal various specific embodiments such as scanning driving style that drag examined object checked.It is formed and all comprises five major parts.Multi-functional imaging system with the vertical work stage of figure one 300KV is that example is illustrated now.Figure one x-ray source of this system that drawn, flying-spot system, detector system and examined object drag the major part and the mutual relationship of scanning system.
A) x-ray source is formed and size according to institute's inspected object, selects for use X line source highest voltage level can be divided into 160KV, 300KV, 450Kv and 600KV.The following X line source of 300KV adopts continuous type conventional reflective anode X spool, and 300KV and the efficient industrial x-ray machine of the above transmission anode that then adopts the inventor to invent (application number is 9811400.4) thereof are as the X line source.The X line source is again by the X spool, high-voltage generator, and controller and recirculated water cooler are formed, and the X line of continous-stable is provided.1 is transmission anode X spool focus among the figure one, and 2 is the component X line head that comprises the voltage multiplying rectifier part.
B) X-ray beam flying spot scanning device.X spool output x-ray radiation is controlled to be the point-like beam of continuous sweep campaign.Point-like beam cross-section size by the minimum dimension design of the high spatial resolution pixel of requirement.By fixedly light-limiting gap sheet 4 and limit light runner 3 and drive motor 5 are formed.Also be uniform-distribution with some light-limiting gaps on the limit light runner 3, guarantee to form the continuity of point-like beam scanning and the homogeneity of speed by the dedicated calculation Design and Machining.Fixed and movable light-limiting gap is to cut out by each specific direction on the gravity alloy material plate, and its sheet metal thickness guarantees that it is that the photon transmissivity is lower than 10 that institute adopts high energy
-3Below.Drive motor 5 is synchronized with the movement by the translation of selected spatial resolution and work stage 8, the rotation and the image receiving system signals collecting of rotating disk 7 by system controlled by computer.
C) detector system: form with its attached electronic device by transmission beam finder 9, the sensitive volume of transmission detectors 9 is the circular arc bar shaped, its width designs by transmitted beam to this position breadth extreme (comprising half intensity penumbra region width), arc size is by the work passage size design, thickness is chosen by acceptance ceiling capacity photon, length is definite by obtaining the ray scanning breadth extreme, can be by tens centimeters to several meters.As needs, can select to increase scattered ray detector 10, its width ° is advisable to the scattered ray of 40 ° of cone angle scopes forward and backward ± 30 can accept beam, leaves the space that allows straight beam pass through in the middle of the back reflection line detector, then leaves peace transmission detectors 9 spaces, road in the middle of the preceding scattering detector.Scattering detector 10 has independently attached electronic device.Notice that no matter be transmission detectors 9 and scattering detector 10, the X line signal of video signal of collection all is that each is by a passage output.Irrelevant with the spatial resolution size, unlike existing X-ray scanning imaging system and CT machine, resolution is high more, and output channel is many more.The space that is crossed by detector is is checked that thing is dragged the sense channel that passes through, and its section is circular.Connect the maximum cross dimensions design sense channel cross section internal diameter of the thing that detects, can be tens centimeters to several meters, the internal diameter of sense channel is 60 centimeters among the figure one.
D) checked the mechanical scanning tractor and the microcomputer numberical control system thereof of thing, scanning tractor can be divided into level and drag with vertical and drag two kinds of structures, level drags the parts that are suitable for detecting overlength, but its rotating mechanism is complicated, figure's one is the example that vertically drags, be made up of lifting table 8 and the garden circle Rotary tray 7 that is placed on the platform, (having omitted drive motor etc. among the figure) checked that thing 6 is fixed on Rotary tray central authorities.The maximum that lifting drags platform 8 drags scope according to being checked that the maximum length of thing designs, and is two meters in figure one.Its rising or falling speed, stop place and dial rotation speed and turning collar number average are controlled by main control microcomputer, carry out automatically by software program.Mechanical scanning tractor is provided with two kinds of mode of operations by microcomputer numerical control, and promptly integral perspective imaging pattern and CT fault imaging pattern can be selected to switch by specialized hardware switch or software on the master station.
The digital control system of mechanical scanning tractor is controlled the rotation of work stage translation and workpiece respectively according to main control software instruction, and control flying-spot scanner dial rotation, carry out synchronously with the signal of video signal collection, to finish scanning motion and the signal of video signal collection that various mode of operation is scheduled to.Microcomputer numberical control system is provided with two kinds of mode of operations for mechanical scanning tractor, i.e. integral perspective imaging pattern and CT fault imaging scanning drags pattern, can be selected to switch by specialized hardware switch or software on the master station.
E) digital image system
Digital image system comprises the collection of signal data, stores, and the storage of image reconstruction (comprising the reconstruction of various patterns) reconstructed image and fluorescent screen show, the various processing of image and the hardware and softwares such as hard copy output of image.Digital image system is provided with two kinds of mode of operations, i.e. integral perspective imaging pattern and CT fault imaging scanning drags pattern, can be selected to switch by specialized hardware switch or software on the master station.
Machinery digital control system and digital image system in principle can be by CPU host computer control, also can be by the total system software control, comprise by the illuminate condition (KV, MA and time shutter) of interface control X line source, master control system is not divided into an ingredient more separately here.
The present invention can adopt two kinds of patterns to obtain image, and by the work of whole transmission imaging pattern the time, the examined object platform is in the at the uniform velocity translation of flying-spot scanner vertical direction, the translatory distance of each scan period be decide the developed width of image resolution ratio pixel correspondence.The spacescan track that X Line beam point forms, cover whole examined object on examined object.Digital image system is converted into correspondence position image slices vegetarian refreshments width to each time transmission (scattering) signal of video signal of this track can directly obtain whole transmission (scattering) image.
When pressing the work of CT fault imaging pattern, examined platform and be fixed on the position of X line sweep line by the required fault surface of examined object, in flying-spot scanner, the platform rotating disk slowly rotates 360 °, digital image system deposits the radiolucent shadow image signal in working storage by the corresponding sequence of space-time, and goes out the radioparent fault image of this section by the mode reconstruction of CT tomographic image reconstructing.Because it is still unresolved about the theory and the algorithm of the reconstruction of scattered ray picture signal computed tomography image at present, the present invention wouldn't adopt scattered ray detector system and respective electronic annex (this system is an option of perspective function as a whole only, does user's apolegamy that contrast is observed for being necessary to obtain the low atomic number object image) when the fault imaging horizontal type.The fault imaging pattern also can adopt the platform rotating disk to move in a spiral manner and scan, and once obtains the interior multilayer fault image signal of certain-length scope and sets up this length examined object three-dimensional perspective image.
Because the preceding scattering detector and the backward scattering detector 10 this structures that are provided with, make that the low atomic number object that is hidden in after the metal object 12 11 is detectable to come out, as shown in Figure 2.
The invention is characterized in a set of equipment and finish multiple imaging function, below its feature is done further narration:
1. the X of system line maximum operating voltage is looked the thing material of examining, size stepping, can be to van container 600KV (class such as 160KV, 300KV, 450KV, 600KV) with light metal smallclothes 160KV.Wherein 300KV and above equipment thereof all adopt the transmission sun to offer a high price to imitate industrial x-ray machine (ZL98114400.4) and make radiographic source.
2. by the cross dimensions design sense channel of the thing that detects, passage is circular, and examined object length is unrestricted in principle.
3. adopting point-like X line beam to scan the thing section mode of examining continuously repeatedly works.Point-like beam cross-section size by the high spatial resolution decision of requirement, any moment examined object passage has only any to be subjected to the irradiation of ray, it is worn-out that its transmission and scattered ray all obtain complete receiving type screen, is significantly less than other existing x-ray imaging system so native system pollutes environmental radiation.
4. point-like continuous sweep beam is to be obtained in X line spot beam by flying spot scanning device.Flying spot scanning device is made up of fixing light-limiting gap sheet 4 and limit light runner 3, and some limit light slits that evenly distribute on the limit light runner 3 meet continuity and the velocity uniformity of its shaped position specialized designs to guarantee that the point-like beam scanning moves.Fixing limit light slit and rotation limit light slit are by formed by the specific direction cutting on the heavy metal sheet alloy.Gap width is by high spatial resolution that requires and the decision of relative position size.Sheet metal thickness guarantees that the highest energy photon transmissivity that adopts is lower than 10
-3Below.The runner motor is to be synchronized with the movement by translation, rotation and the picture signal collection of system controlled by computer by corresponding rotating speed of selected spatial resolution and worktable.
5. image is accepted detector and is mainly comprised radioparent detector 9, and its sensitive volume width is the detection channels diameter for accepting the maximum wide district of beam, camber, effective length, and thickness is enough accepted efficient degree of being so that the sub-energy of accepted X linear light is reached.Because adopt one time of space switch technology, only need an attached electronic line channel output.
6., can match scattering detector 10 systems to find low atomic number object such as drugs, explosive etc. behind the sheet metal, scattering and backward scattering detector 10 before comprising if the user need obtain dispersion image simultaneously and do comparison check.Its effective width is advisable with the front and back scattered photon that can collect about 40 ° of cone angles, and garden arc, diameter are channel diameter.Leave in front and back and to allow direct rays pass through and the space of transmission detectors fully, equally also only with an attached electronic line channel output, transmission detectors and scattering detector output to image reception and the reconstructing system of oneself separately.
7. system provides two kinds of scanning imagery modes: the mode that 1. whole transmission (scattering) image obtains, this moment, examined object was along the vertical direction translation of flying-spot scanner plane.Stop by scanning after the examined object length.Can in two image displays, obtain translucent overall image simultaneously respectively by transmission and scattered signal reconstruction.The high-density objects of low atomic number will obtain outstanding manifesting in the scatter image.2. CT tomography pattern.The required position of fault of examined object is positioned to scan after flying-spot scanner plane controlled substance rotates 360 ° stops, can manifesting in the fluorescent screen by the CT faultage image that the transmission signal of collection storage is rebuild this section.This pattern stops after also can be in the certain-length scope scanning some circles in the helical motion mode, is rebuild the faultage image of several layers in this length range or is further produced the 3-dimensional image of this length range by the collection storage transmission signal.Two kinds of images all can be stored, and carry out conventional Digital Image Processing and output hard copy.
8. native system adopts fixed detector and X line source in above-mentioned scanning motion, and parallelly moves or rotate the examined object mode and work.Parallel moving can be designed to tangential movement or vertical movement mode.
9. the spatial resolution of image that native system becomes can change corresponding scanning motion bundle rate and change with software control on demand.For example, by main control microcomputer select for use low one grade, second gear spatial resolution, accelerate scanning imagery speed and reduce the lower storage capacity of every width of cloth.
