Portable x-ray system with adjustable angle and direction
The patent US12042317B2 describes a portable X-ray system designed for enhanced mobility and flexibility in medical imaging. The system features an X-ray tube mounted on a photography stand, which allows for adjustments in both the photographing direction and angle. Key components include a body that houses the X-ray tube, a collimator for adjusting the X-ray area and direction, and a rotating connection part that facilitates the movement and power transmission between the body and the collimator. This rotating connection part consists of a first coupler with a cylindrical structure and a second coupler with a ring structure, both designed to rotate together while maintaining electrical connectivity through a series of connection terminals.
Further elaboration on the rotating connection part reveals additional structural elements, including substrates that house printed circuit boards for the connection terminals. The second coupler is designed with a fastening side wall that forms an internal space and includes features to absorb impacts and adjust spacing, enhancing the durability and functionality of the system. The design aims to provide a robust and efficient portable X-ray solution, suitable for various medical environments where mobility and adaptability are essential.
