Description

Portable X-ray apparatus {portable X-ray apparatus}

The present invention relates to a portable x-ray device capable of magnetically detaching a guard, which is a predetermined mechanism, from a main body from which X-rays are emitted.

It was true that the existing X-ray imaging device not only required a separate shielding space, but also had a high space and cost burden when introduced due to its high price.

In order to solve these problems, the conventional portable X-ray device significantly reduces the radiation exposure of medical staff and patients with a low dose, can be carried and moved with a compact and lightweight configuration, and can be quickly placed anywhere where a patient is located without restrictions in place or space. X-ray imaging and diagnosis are easily possible. With these advantages, it is suitable for places where it is not easy to use and spread large-scale X-ray imaging devices, such as overseas and domestic medical service, business trips, and mountainous areas.

Referring to FIG. 4, a conventional portable x-ray apparatus 1 includes a main body 2 forming an outer shape, and a guard or guard 3, which is a predetermined mechanism disposed on the front surface of the main body 2, A bolt 5 for attaching and detaching the guard 3 from the main body 2 may be included.

An X-ray source (not shown) that emits X-rays may be mounted on the main body 2 .

The guard 3 can adjust the distance between the front of the main body 2 and the human body to which X-rays are irradiated. For example, in the case of chest imaging, when the distance to the chest is different from the front of the main body 2 or the window 4 through which X-rays are emitted, the guard 3 may be replaced.

These guards (3) can be produced in several products that fit different distances according to parts of the human body. The necessary guard (3) can be detached from the main body (2) by means of bolts (5).

In addition, when there is a guard 3 protruding forward from the main body 2, it is inconvenient to carry the main body 2 or there is a risk of damage during movement, so it can be carried in a detached state. In addition, when the skin guard 3 is stored while being attached to the body 2, it may occupy a large volume.

Since the bolt (5) must be loosened and tightened every time the guard (3) is detached from the main body (2), it takes a long time to detach, requires a separate tool, and is concerned about losing the bolt (5) during storage. can be very large.

In addition, if the bolt head is covered with a cover (not shown) so that the bolt head is not visible from the outside when the bolt 5 is fastened, the risk of loss of the cover (not shown) may be very high, similar to the bolt 5.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0122985

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a portable X-ray device that can easily attach and detach a skin guard, which is a predetermined mechanism, to a main body from which X-rays are emitted. there is

In order to achieve the above object, the portable x-ray apparatus of the present invention, the main body to which the X-ray source (X-ray source) is mounted emits X-rays (X-ray) to the front; a guard disposed on the front surface of the main body to maintain a distance between the front surface and the subject; and a detachable portion attaching and detaching the guard from the main body, wherein the detachable portion includes a magnet.

In particular, the detachable part includes at least one first magnet installed on the main body and at least one second magnet installed on the guard, and the first magnet and the first magnet facing each other when the guard is mounted in a regular position. The two magnets are characterized in that they are arranged with different polarities.

Alternatively, the detachable part includes a magnet installed on any one of the main body and the guard, and a metal plate installed on the other one of the main body and the guard.

Alternatively, the guard is a magnetic material, and the detachable part includes a magnet installed on the main body.

In addition, a mounting groove is formed on the front surface of the main body, and an end of the guard facing the main body is inserted along the mounting groove.

According to the portable x-ray apparatus of the present invention, the following effects are obtained.

By attaching and detaching the guard from the main body on which the X-ray emitting source is mounted, the desorption time is short, there is no need for a separate tool, and the fear of loss can be eliminated.

In particular, by installing magnets with different magnetism to the main body and the guard, the bonding force may be very excellent.

In addition, by mounting the magnet in the mounting groove of the main body, the separation of the magnet can be prevented as much as possible.

In addition, since a magnet or metal plate is installed on the rear side of the front hollow frame of the guard, a separate shielding cover does not need to be used.
