  • Publication number: 20250046012
    Abstract: An inspection system and method, the inspection system includes: a carrying device, at least one ray source and a detector assembly. The ray source and the detector assembly are lifted or lowered along a central axis of the carrying device relative to the carrying device. When viewed along the central axis, the ray source is translatable between scanning positions relative to the carrying device. When the ray source is at one of the scanning positions the ray source and the detector assembly are lifted or lowered relative to the carrying device along the central axis, and the ray source emits X-rays; and when the ray source and the detector assembly are lifted or lowered a predetermined distance the ray source translates to another scanning position. The inspection system further reconstructs a three-dimensional scanning image of the object to be inspected based on detection data of the detector assembly.

  • Publication number: 20240361257
    Abstract: An inspection system, including: a carrying device; at least one ray source and a detector assembly. When the at least one ray source is located at one of scanning positions relative to the carrying device, the at least one ray source and the detector assembly are lifted or lowered along the rotation axis relative to the carrying device and the at least one ray source emits X-rays. After the at least one ray source and the detector assembly are lifted or lowered a predetermined distance relative to the carrying device, the at least one ray source rotates around the rotation axis relative to the carrying device to another one of scanning positions. The inspection system further reconstructs a three-dimensional scanning image of the object to be inspected based on detection data of the detector assembly.

  • Publication number: 20240345005
    Abstract: An inspection system and method, the inspection system includes: a carrying device, at least one ray source, where each ray source includes a separate housing to define a vacuum space and a plurality of target spots enclosed within the housing; and a detector assembly. The at least one ray source and the detector assembly are lifted or lowered along a central axis of the carrying device relative to the carrying device. When viewed along the central axis, the ray source is translatable between scanning positions relative to the carrying device. When the ray source is at one of the scanning positions, the ray source and the detector assembly are lifted or lowered along the central axis, and the ray source emits X-rays; and when the ray source and the detector assembly are lifted or lowered a predetermined distance, the ray source translates to another one of the scanning positions.

  • Publication number: 20240219325
    Abstract: Provided are an inspection system and an inspection method, the inspection system includes: a carrying device (300); at least one ray source (100) each includes a separate housing (110) to define a vacuum space and target spots enclosed within the housing (110), and a detector assembly (200). The at least one ray source (100) is rotatable between a plurality of scanning positions around a rotation axis relative to the carrying device (300). The at least one ray source (100) and the detector assembly (200) may be lifted or lowered along the rotation axis relative to the carrying device (300). When the at least one ray source (100) is located at one of scanning positions relative to the carrying device (300), the at least one ray source (100) and the detector assembly (200) are lifted or lowered along the rotation axis relative to the carrying device (300) and the at least one ray source (100) emits X-rays.

  • Publication number: 20240092584
    Abstract: A conveying device (100) and an inspection system (1000) are provided. The conveying device includes: a first support frame (1); a first conveying mechanism (2) and a second conveying mechanism (3) which are installed on the first support frame; and a switching mechanism (4) configured to selectively lift the first conveying mechanism or the second conveying mechanism in a vertical direction, such that the first conveying mechanism or the second conveying mechanism carries goods (401) and conveys the goods in a first horizontal direction or a second horizontal direction different from the first horizontal direction. The conveying device may achieve a positioning and a smooth continuous conveying of goods, and achieve a smooth conveying and a calibrated positioning of the goods in different postures.
