Abstract
An X-ray inspection apparatus includes: an X-ray irradiation unit; a transport unit; an X-ray detection unit; and an X-ray shielding door. An inclined portion that is inclined downward from the one side toward the other side in the width direction when seen in the transport direction in the closed state is formed in at least a part of an inner surface of the X-ray shielding door. In the closed state, a lower end portion of the inclined portion in the vertical direction is located closer to the other side of the width direction than a position of an end portion of the transport unit on the one side of the width direction.
Claims21
An X-ray inspection apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray tube configured to irradiate an article with an X-ray;
- a transport conveyor configured to transport the article in one direction such that the article passes through an irradiation space of the X-ray emitted from the X-ray tube;
- an X-ray sensor configured to detect the X-ray transmitting through the article;
- and
- an X-ray shielding door disposed on one side of a width direction with respect to the transport conveyor to open the irradiation space to an outside in an open state and to prevent the X-ray from leaking from the irradiation space in a closed state, the width direction being orthogonal to both a transport direction of the article and a vertical direction,
- wherein at least a part of an inner surface of the X-ray shielding door includes an inclined portion that is inclined downward from the one side toward an other side in the width direction with respect to the transport conveyor when seen in the transport direction in the closed state, and
- in the closed state, a lower end portion of the inclined portion in the vertical direction is located closer to the other side of the width direction than a position of an end portion of the transport conveyor on the one side of the width direction.

- an X-ray irradiation unit configured to irradiate an article with an X-ray;
- a transport unit configured to transport the article in one direction such that the article passes through an irradiation space of the X-ray emitted from the X-ray irradiation unit;
- an X-ray detection unit configured to detect the X-ray transmitting through the article;
- and
- an X-ray shielding door disposed on one side of a width direction with respect to the transport unit to open the irradiation space to an outside in an open state and to prevent the X-ray from leaking from the irradiation space in a closed state, the width direction being orthogonal to both a transport direction of the article and a vertical direction,
- wherein an inclined portion that is inclined downward from the one side toward the other side in the width direction when seen in the transport direction in the closed state is formed in at least a part of an inner surface of the X-ray shielding door, and
- in the closed state, a lower end portion of the inclined portion in the vertical direction is located closer to the other side of the width direction than a position of an end portion of the transport unit on the one side of the width direction.
