1. A high-voltage X-ray tank comprising:
an X-ray shielding part (110) having a cylindrical structure in which an X-ray tube for radiating X-rays is accommodated and an X-ray radiation port (111) is formed in one side surface thereof;
a main block body (120) having a box-shaped structure in which the X-ray shielding part (110) is mounted on one side surface thereof and which is electrically connected to the X-ray shielding part (110); and
a lens part (130) having a structure which is mounted on the one side surface of the X-ray shielding part (110) and focuses X-rays radiated through the X-ray radiation port (111) on a preset position,
wherein the X-ray shielding part (110) includes a central shielding part (112) having a hollow cylindrical structure, in which the X-ray radiation port (111) is formed at a center of one side surface thereof, and formed of a shielding lead material, wherein the X-ray tube is mounted in the hollow structure, and both end portions of the central shielding part (112) are open,
a left shielding part (113) which is mounted on a left end of the central shielding part (112) as a detachable structure, is formed of a shielding lead material, and has a cylindrical structure having a side surface structure continuing from a side surface of the central shielding part (112),
a right shielding part (114) which is mounted on a right end of the central shielding part (112) as a detachable structure, is formed of a shielding lead material, and has a cylindrical structure having a side surface structure continuing from the side surface of the central shielding part (112);
circuit connectors (115) which are mounted at centers of the other side surfaces of the left shielding part (113) and the right shielding part (114) and have structures electrically connected to the main block body (120); and
fixing brackets (116) which are mounted as structures surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the central shielding part (112) to fix the central shielding part (112) to one side surface of the main block body (120).
