Emergency X-ray machine lithium battery design scheme
I. Background of the Emergency X-ray Machine Lithium Battery Equipment Project
With the advancement of medical equipment technology in response to public health events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, fever clinics and isolation wards need to conduct rapid chest X-ray examinations to assist in diagnosis. Emergency X-ray lithium batteries enable X-ray machines to be deployed quickly without power cords, flexibly used in isolation areas, avoid cross-infection, and improve diagnostic efficiency. After natural disasters such as earthquakes and mudslides, roads and infrastructure are damaged and regular power supply is difficult. Emergency X-ray lithium batteries power X-ray machines and can be used to quickly examine fractures, organ injuries, etc. in temporary medical tents, supporting emergency treatment. In the military battlefield, the wounded need to be diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. X-ray machines equipped with emergency X-ray lithium batteries can be deployed quickly along with military operations at frontline or field medical stations to examine gunshot wounds, shrapnel injuries, etc., determine the location and severity of the injuries, and assist military doctors in formulating surgical plans. New energy lithium batteries, with their advantages of high energy density, long cycle life and environmental friendliness, have gradually become the preferred solution for the power system of medical equipment. This solution is aimed at the application requirements of lithium batteries in emergency X-ray machine equipment projects, ensuring that lithium batteries can provide safe, efficient and customized power solutions for exploration equipment in special fields.
