  • Publication number: 20230041571
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an X-ray device, and an X-ray device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a radiator configured to radiate an X-ray; a distance measurement sensor configured to measure a value of a distance to an object; and a controller configured to acquire a first separation distance between an X-ray radiation focal point of the radiator and a subject, and control operation of the radiator based on the acquired first separation distance. Through these, the radiation of the X-ray can be prevented without a physical skin guard when the subject approaches within a certain distance from the radiator, thereby preventing the increase in the size caused by the installation of the physical skin guard, and a process of manually setting a strength of the X-ray radiation output according to the thickness of the subject can be omitted, thereby improving easiness of the X-ray imaging and reducing the time for the X-ray imaging.

  • Patent number: 7522704
    Abstract: A battery-powered x-ray imaging apparatus uses a battery with a reduced capacity as a power source. The x-ray imaging apparatus includes a DC-AC converting part for converting a direct current of a battery to an alternating current, a high-voltage transformer for increasing a magnitude of the alternating current to output a high-voltage alternating current, an AC-DC converting part for converting the high-voltage alternating current to a high-voltage direct current, and an x-ray tube having an anode terminal and a cathode terminal electrically connected to the AC-DC converting part. The x-ray tube is designed to generate x-rays by allowing electrons emitted from the cathode terminal to impinge on the anode terminal. The DC-AC converting part, the high-voltage transformer, the AC-DC converting part and the x-ray tube are sealingly received within the housing part filled with oil.

  • Patent number: 7417522
    Abstract: A high voltage transformer is small-sized, lightweight and less costly to fabricate. The high voltage transformer is designed to maintain equal the potential difference between the components of two transforming component groups and also to keep the components of the respective transforming component groups equipotential at the same distance in the direction extending from a first end to a second end. This eliminates the need to dispose an insulating body between the components of the first and second transforming component groups. This also makes it possible to fabricate the high voltage transformer with a small size and in a cost-effective manner.
