X-RAY IRRADIATION DEVICE AND X-RAY RADIATION SOURCE
First Claim
1. An X-ray radiation device comprising:
- a plurality of X-ray radiation sources, each having an X-ray tube for generating an X-ray, a drive circuit for driving the X-ray tube, and a trunk line connected to the drive circuit; and
a controller having a control circuit for controlling the X-ray radiation sources;
wherein the trunk lines of the plurality of X-ray radiation sources are connected in series to the control circuit so that the drive circuits of the plurality of X-ray radiation sources are connected in parallel to the control circuit.

Abstract
An X-ray radiation device comprises a plurality of X-ray radiation units, each having an X-ray tube for generating an X-ray, a drive circuit for driving the X-ray tube, and a trunk line connected to the drive circuit, and a controller having a control circuit for controlling the X-ray radiation units. The trunk lines of the plurality of X-ray radiation units are connected in series to the control circuit so that the drive circuits of the plurality of X-ray radiation units are connected in parallel to the control circuit. Since the trunk lines of the plurality of X-ray radiation units are connected in series to the control circuit, the X-ray radiation units can be connected to each other and are not required to be connected one by one to the controller. This makes it possible to increase and decrease the number of units without complicating their wiring.
