Abstract

A computed tomography apparatus for geological resource core analysis, more particularly to a computed tomography apparatus for geological resource core analysis in that it can conveniently utilize a computed tomography apparatus for industrial use, the movement between the CT beam transmitter and the detector is decreased, thereby performing an accurate measurement and breaking down infrequently, and especially, it can easily perform a CT scan on a cylinder type (or rod shape) sample having a very long major axis such as a geological resource core sample.

Claims (13)

1. A computed tomography apparatus for geological resource core analysis, the computed tomography apparatus comprising:

a main body supporting a first supporting member installed on one side thereof and a second supporting member installed on the other side thereof;

a CT beam transmission part installed and constructed in the first supporting member, connected to a CT beam transmission part moving member, moved up and down by the CT beam transmission part moving member, and transmitting a CT beam;

a detector installed and constructed in the second supporting member, connected to a detector moving member, moved up and down by the detector moving member, and acquiring the CT beam transmitted from the CT beam transmission part;

a sample rotating device installed and constructed between the CT beam transmission part and the detector and fixing a sample to be rotated;

a CT beam transmission part operating motor for moving the CT beam transmission part moving member up and down;

a detector operating motor for moving the detector moving member up and down;

a sample rotating motor for rotating the sample rotating device; and

a driving motor for moving the sample rotating device in a direction of an imaginary line linking the CT beam transmission part and the detector.

2. The computed tomography apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

an operating part for moving the CT beam transmission part and the detector up and down, rotating the sample rotating device, and transmitting the CT beam; and

a display part for displaying a data detected by the detector.

3. The computed tomography apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main body and the first and second supporting members are made of a heatproof, a wetproof, and a shock-resistant rock, thereby eliminating an vibration phenomenon and increasing an accuracy thereof.
