Abstract
Disclosed herein is a mobile x-ray imaging apparatus having an improved structure to prevent breakage of or damage to an x-ray detector. One or more damping units are installed at base plates of one or more slots. The one or more damping units minimize an impact that may be applied to one or more x-ray detectors in a process of storing the one or more x-ray detector in the one or more slots.
Claims20
A mobile x-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- a slot configured to store an x-ray detector;
- a first damping unit installed at a base plate of the slot and configured to absorb an impact on the x-ray detector when the x-ray detector is inserted in the slot;
- a connector installed at the base plate and electrically connected to a terminal of the x-ray detector when the x-ray detector is inserted in the slot;
- and
- a connector magnetic body installed near the connector, and configured to:
- interact with a detector magnetic body included in the x-ray detector;
- and
- fix the x-ray detector when the x-ray detector is inserted in the slot,
- wherein the first damping unit protrudes over the base plate and the connector in a direction opposite to an insertion direction of the x-ray detector in the slot, and
- wherein the first damping unit is configured for decelerating the inserted x-ray detector before the inserted x-ray detector contacts the connector.

A storage unit provided to store an x-ray detector therein, the storage unit comprising:
- a slot configured to store the x-ray detector therein;
- a damping unit installed at a base plate of the slot and configured to absorb an impact on the x-ray detector when the x-ray detector is inserted in the slot;
- a connector installed at the base plate of the slot and electrically connected to a terminal of the x-ray detector when the x-ray detector is inserted in the slot;
- and
- a connector magnetic body installed adjacent to the connector and configured to:
- interact with a detector magnetic body included in the x-ray detector;
- and
- fix a position of the x-ray detector when the x-ray detector is inserted in the slot,
- wherein the damping unit protrudes over the base plate and the connector in a direction opposite to an insertion direction of the x-ray detector in the slot, and
- wherein the damping unit is configured for decelerating the inserted x-ray detector before the inserted x-ray detector contacts the connector.
