- X-ray inspection systems for large-volume objects are known as self-propelled devices that are moved over the object, or as fixed X-ray systems, in which the large-volume test object (test material) is performed.
- DE 195 32 965 C2 discloses a mobile X-ray inspection system for large-volume goods, such as containers, trucks and passenger cars, wherein the test system is moved as a self-propelled device on the test object.
- EP 0 412 190 B1 discloses a stationary fluoroscopy system for irradiating containers and / or vehicles, which is used, for example, at airports in order to search the contents for explosives, weapons, drugs and smuggled goods.
- DE 11 2007 000 01 1 T5 also describes a fixed test system for testing pallet loads, air freight containers and other large-volume loads by means of radiation, the test objects being fed via a conveying device to a radiation scanning unit spanning the conveying device.
- the invention has for its object to provide a system for testing objects of the generic type, which allows for high quality test a simplified adaptation to different uses.
- the system has at least two juxtaposed test units with at least one arranged in a portable, container-like housing radiation source, wherein the radiation sources are arranged so that the object is illuminated from different directions.
- the test system includes at least two radiation sources, which are arranged in at least one portable, container-like housing and energy in a range of 150 KEV to 500 KEV, in particular of about 300 KEV, and in a range between 1 MEV to 7 MEV, preferably 3 MEV to 5 MEV, in particular of about 3.5 MEV radiate.
- the evaluation of beams in a range from 150 KEV to 500 KEV and in a range between 1 MEV to 7 MEV offers a high detail recognition at the lower energy range and at the same time a high penetration power at the higher energy range.
- the X-rays of at least one radiation source are radiated fan-shaped in a radiating plane.
- An improved resolution is achieved if at least two radiation sources with mutually parallel radiation planes are used.
- test units are designed so that they can be operated without interference outside of buildings.
- the systems are thus suitable for indoor use, in roofed areas and for outdoor applications. Outside, the system allows a two-dimensional transillumination of dollys and small vehicles.
- test units can also be designed so that they can be integrated into an existing conveyor system.
- they can be integrated into existing freight loading systems at airports or terminals.
- test units such that two or more units can be put together to form an overall system offers the great advantage that the system can be inexpensively adapted to different applications. If required, the system can be extended very cost-effectively using the existing test units.
- Possible areas of application of a test facility according to the invention are, for example, border crossings, seaports and airports, customs facilities, toll stations, freight centers, general security zones, industrial and military installations.
- FIG. 1A is a front perspective view of a test system according to the present invention, which is made up of two test units;
- Figure 1 B is a rear perspective view of the test facility shown in Figure 1A.
- the test system 1 essentially comprises two test units 2, 3 and a conveying device 5, in the example a roller conveyor, on which a large-volume test object 4 for transillumination through the area between the radiation sources and the detector arrangements 2.3, 3.3 of the test units 2, 3 is conveyed.
- Each test unit 2, 3 has a transportable, container-like housing 2.1, 3.1, in which in each case at least one X-ray source is arranged.
- Each radiation source generates X-radiation, which is radiated in a fan-shaped manner in a radiation plane and emerges from the respective housing 2.1, 3.1.
- at least two radiation sources are present, the radiation planes of which run parallel to one another, as shown in FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B.
- the beam planes of the fan beams 2.2, 3.2 are aligned perpendicular to the transport direction of the conveying device 5, so that a test object 4 by means of the conveying device 5 perpendicular to Beam plane of the fan beams 2.2, 3.2 is passed through them.
- test units 2, 3 There are two vertically or horizontally arranged side by side test units 2, 3, each containing a radiation source, which are arranged so that the test object is illuminated from different directions.
- the fan beams run in parallel planes, but they radiate from different directions to the test object 4: In the first, arranged at the top test unit 3, the fan beam opens from top left to bottom right, in the second, bottom test unit 2 opens the Fan beam from bottom right to top left.
- Each fan beam 2.2, 3.2 is associated with a detector arrangement 2.3, 3.3.
- the detector arrangements 2.3, 3.3 have an L-shaped configuration, wherein the plane spanned by the legs of the respective detector arrangement 2.3, 3.3 lies in the plane of the beam of the associated fan beam 2.2, 3.2.
- the transverse leg of the second detector arrangement 2.3 extends above the conveying device 5 and spans it at a certain vertical distance, so that the detector arrangement 2.3 together with the side walls of the housing 2.1, 3.1 forms a gate through which the test object 4 to be examined with the aid of the conveyor 5 is transported.
- the receiver modules of the detector arrangements are preferably arranged partially in the conveyor system for the small vehicles and / or in a covered roadway pit.
- X-ray radiation with energy in a range of 150 KEV to 500 KEV, in particular of about 300 KEV, and in a range between 1 MEV to 7 MEV, preferably 3 MEV to 5 MEV, are advantageously used in the test system 1 as radiation sources. in particular of about 3 MEV, radiate.
- low-cost X-ray sources with an energy of about 300 KEV and about 3.5 MEV are used.
- a circular accelerator is preferably used, to produce the lower energy range of about 300 KEV the known X-ray tubes.
- the intensities of the radiation penetrating the test object 4 are measured by the associated detector arrangements 2, 3, 3.3 and evaluated separately according to the two energy ranges.
- the evaluation of the two areas allows both a high level of detail recognition, for example the detection of wires and other fine structures within the test object 4, on the other hand, the X-radiation of the higher energy range has a high permeability, so that also thick and / or very dense test objects 4 tested can be.
- each test unit 2, 3 is modularly designed so that two or more units can be put together to form an overall system. This makes possible on the one hand, as described above, the combination of two test units 2, 3, which operate at different energies, for example the combination of a 300-KEV fluoroscopy unit with a 3.5-MEV
- test units 2, 3 are designed so that they are in an existing Conveyor system, in particular the conveyor system of a cargo loading system, can be integrated.
- the test system 1 further includes an evaluation unit, which receives electrical signals from the detector assemblies 2.3, 3.3 and further processed for analysis on searched for objects or substances. The result can be displayed on a corresponding display unit in the form of a pictorial representation and checked by an operator. It is possible that each test unit 2, 3 contains its own evaluation unit, or the entire test facility 1 contains only a single evaluation unit, in which the data determined by the individual test units 2, 3 are evaluated. In the latter case, the test units have corresponding interfaces which enable a data connection to the evaluation unit in another housing.
