It consists of 7.
 コンベア2は、脚部2aを備え、例えば、脚部2aに載置される枠2cと、検査前の被検体10aを載せ、モータ2eの駆動で回転し、X線撮影箇所に被検体10を移動させ、さらに取り出し位置に被検体10bを移動させるベルト2dからなる。脚部3aにはキャスタ2bを備えると設置位置の調整が容易になる。ベルト2dに替えモータ2eで駆動するローラであってもよい。 The conveyor 2 includes legs 2a, for example, a frame 2c placed on the legs 2a and a subject 10a before inspection are placed on the conveyor 2 and rotated by being driven by a motor 2e to place the subject 10 at an X-ray imaging location. It is composed of a belt 2d that is moved and further moves the subject 10b to the take-out position. If the legs 3a are provided with casters 2b, the installation position can be easily adjusted. A roller driven by a motor 2e may be used instead of the belt 2d.
 筐体3は、コンベア2におけるX線撮影箇所を囲むX線遮蔽性の材料から組み立てられ、例えば、コンベア2の枠2cに接続する載置部3qを介して、或いは直接連結する受け3pと、受け3pに嵌められ、溝3m或いは溝3oを備えた柱3l及び梁3nと、X線撮影箇所を囲む、対向する溝3m、3oに嵌められるX線遮蔽性の鉛板3kを内在する板(入口ユニット3b、出口ユニット3e、天板3j、左側面板3h、右側面板3i、載置部3q)とからなる。筐体3は、ここのあげるほか、簡易組み立て、分解、移動可能であれば、特に制限されない。 The housing 3 is assembled from an X-ray shielding material that surrounds an X-ray imaging location on the conveyor 2, and is, for example, a receiver 3p that is directly connected via a mounting portion 3q that connects to a frame 2c of the conveyor 2. A plate containing a pillar 3l and a beam 3n having a groove 3m or a groove 3o and an X-ray shielding lead plate 3k fitted in the opposite grooves 3m and 3o surrounding the X-ray imaging location (the plate is fitted in the receiver 3p and has an X-ray shielding property 3k. It is composed of an inlet unit 3b, an outlet unit 3e, a top plate 3j, a left side plate 3h, a right side plate 3i, and a mounting portion 3q). The housing 3 is not particularly limited as long as it can be easily assembled, disassembled, and moved.
 被検体10aの入口3c、被検体10の出口3fには、鉛入り短冊3d、短冊3gを複数本垂らしてなる。柱3lと梁3nで骨組3aを形成する。載置部3qは、後述のX線照射部4を設置する。 A plurality of lead-containing strips 3d and strips 3g are hung at the inlet 3c of the subject 10a and the outlet 3f of the subject 10. The skeleton 3a is formed by the columns 3l and the beams 3n. The mounting unit 3q is provided with the X-ray irradiation unit 4, which will be described later.
 筐体3には、さらに、コンベア2の枠2cに立設する前係止部3r、後係止部3s、或いは筐体3内の左右側面板3h、3iの筐体3の内側に係止して、それぞれ第一センサ3t、第二センサ3uを備える。 The housing 3 is further locked to the front locking portion 3r and the rear locking portion 3s erected on the frame 2c of the conveyor 2, or to the inside of the housing 3 of the left and right side plates 3h and 3i in the housing 3. A first sensor 3t and a second sensor 3u are provided, respectively.
 第一センサ3tは、X線撮影箇所前に被検体10aの通過を感知し、第一センサ3tの感知から所定時間後にコンベア2の駆動を制御装置6の制御信号6cで停止させ、X線撮影のタイミングの時間制御に利用する。 The first sensor 3t detects the passage of the subject 10a before the X-ray imaging location, stops the drive of the conveyor 2 by the control signal 6c of the control device 6 after a predetermined time from the detection of the first sensor 3t, and X-ray imaging. It is used for time control of the timing of.
 第二センサ3uは、X線検査終了した被検体10bの通過を感知し、次の手荷物の検査部へ搬入を許可する。例えば、ベルト2dへの手荷物の載置許可シグナル、表示を点灯させる。第二センサ3uの感知がない場合には、筐体3内での手荷物の停滞が推測されるため、X線検査を一端中止して、筐体3内から停滞手荷物を取り出す。 The second sensor 3u detects the passage of the subject 10b that has completed the X-ray inspection, and permits the carry-in to the next baggage inspection section. For example, the baggage loading permission signal and display on the belt 2d are turned on. If the second sensor 3u does not detect the baggage, it is presumed that the baggage is stagnant in the housing 3. Therefore, the X-ray inspection is temporarily stopped and the stagnant baggage is taken out from the housing 3.
 X線照射部4は、筐体3内部に設置され、被検体10にX線4aを照射するものであって、筐体3の側面内側に設置されるX線4aを照射するX線源4bと、駆動源、例えば、バッテリ4c、AC-DCアダプタなどを備える。 The X-ray irradiation unit 4 is installed inside the housing 3 to irradiate the subject 10 with X-rays 4a, and is an X-ray source 4b that irradiates the X-rays 4a installed inside the side surface of the housing 3. And a drive source, for example, a battery 4c, an AC-DC adapter, and the like.
 X線源4bとしては、特許文献2-5に記載のカーボンナノ構造体三極式冷陰極X線管などが、採用でき、それらはそれら先行技術文献に詳述されている。詳細は、それらを参照されたい。 As the X-ray source 4b, the carbon nanostructure tripolar cold cathode X-ray tube described in Patent Document 2-5 can be adopted, and these are described in detail in those prior art documents. See them for details.
 検出器5は、被検体10を挟みX線源4bが設置された側面内側の対向側面に設置され、被検体10を透過したX線4aを感知するデジタル式のX線検出器で、2次元画像データとして感知し、制御装置6に、有線、或いは無線で検出信号5aを送信する。検出器5としては、例えば、シンチレータ、CCD、CMOS、CdTe半導体などが例示される。 The detector 5 is a digital X-ray detector that is installed on the opposite side surface inside the side surface where the X-ray source 4b is installed and sandwiches the subject 10 and detects the X-ray 4a that has passed through the subject 10 and is two-dimensional. It senses it as image data and transmits the detection signal 5a to the control device 6 by wire or wirelessly. Examples of the detector 5 include a scintillator, a CCD, a CMOS, a CdTe semiconductor, and the like.
 X線の照射、検出器による検出方向は、筐体3における水平方向、垂直方向、それら両方向の何れであってもよい。 The X-ray irradiation and the detection direction by the detector may be the horizontal direction, the vertical direction, or both of these directions in the housing 3.
 制御装置6は、PCなどで、X線4aの照射タイミングを制御信号6aで制御するとともに、検出器5の感知タイミングを制御信号6bで制御し、さらに、ベルトの駆動を制御し、撮影のタイミングで停止させる。すなわち、X線4aの照射タイミング、検出器5の感知タイミング、ベルトの停止を同期させる。そして、検出器5で感知したX線強度に対応する検出信号5aをデジタルX線画像7aとして表示可能に処理する。  The control device 6 controls the irradiation timing of the X-ray 4a with the control signal 6a, controls the detection timing of the detector 5 with the control signal 6b, and further controls the drive of the belt with a PC or the like to control the timing of shooting. Stop at. That is, the irradiation timing of the X-ray 4a, the sensing timing of the detector 5, and the stop of the belt are synchronized. Then, the detection signal 5a corresponding to the X-ray intensity detected by the detector 5 is processed so as to be displayable as a digital X-ray image 7a.
 さらに制御装置6は、撮影した画像を画像処理し、或いは予め記録された画像などとの対比により、対象物形状が危険物と類似する場合に、危険物であると判定し、音、光によるアラート生成機能を備えてもよい。また、爆発物、麻薬などの柔らかい危険物と刃物や銃などの硬い危険物を色分けしてモニタ7に表示することで目視判定をしやすくすることもできる。 Further, the control device 6 determines that the object is a dangerous object when the shape of the object is similar to the dangerous object by image processing the captured image or comparing it with a pre-recorded image or the like, and uses sound or light. It may have an alert generation function. In addition, it is possible to facilitate visual judgment by displaying on the monitor 7 a color-coded soft dangerous substance such as an explosive or a drug and a hard dangerous substance such as a knife or a gun.
 モニタ7は、デジタルX線画像7aを表示する。モニタ7としては、PCのディスプレイ、ノートPCの一体ディスプレイ、タブレットなどが例示できる。 The monitor 7 displays a digital X-ray image 7a. Examples of the monitor 7 include a PC display, a notebook PC integrated display, and a tablet.
 このようにしてなるポータブルコンベア式X線検査装置1は、コンベア2の駆動停止(ベルト2dの回転停止)と、X線4aの照射及び検出器5の感知を同期させ、被検体10のX線撮影を行い、コンベア2の(ベル2dトの回転)の停止と移動を繰り返す間欠運転をすることで、コンベア2を用いて高速、高精度X線検査の両立を可能にする。 The portable conveyor type X-ray inspection device 1 made in this way synchronizes the drive stop of the conveyor 2 (stopping the rotation of the belt 2d) with the irradiation of the X-ray 4a and the detection of the detector 5, and X-rays of the subject 10. By taking a picture and performing intermittent operation in which the conveyor 2 (rotation of the bell 2d) is repeatedly stopped and moved, it is possible to achieve both high-speed and high-precision X-ray inspection using the conveyor 2.
