2 . The detector support device according to claim 1 , wherein a second fixing portion extending from the first fixing portion and a second bending portion extending from the second fixing portion to the second end are provided between the first fixing portion and the second end, and the second fixing portion is fixed to the bottom wall of the accommodation cavity.

3 . The detector support device according to claim 2 , wherein the connector is configured to rotate along with the detector tray.

4 . The detector support device according to claim 3 , wherein a bottom wall of the accommodation cavity is provided with a support shaft, and the detector tray is pivotally connected to the support shaft and is configured to rotate around the support shaft.

5 . The detector support device according to claim 4 , wherein the second fixing portion is wound outside the support shaft with the support shaft as a center point.

6 . The detector support device according to claim 4 , wherein the bottom wall of the accommodation cavity is further provided with a bearing fitted around the support shaft, and the second fixing portion is provided on the bearing.

7 . The detector support device according to claim 4 , wherein a plurality of floating support members are provided in the accommodation cavity, wherein one end of each of the floating support members is provided with a rolling member which is in contact with a bottom face of the detector tray, and the other end thereof is deformable elastically under a pressure applied by the detector tray.

8 . The detector support device according to claim 1 , wherein a slot is provided on the detector tray, and the cable interface of the connector passes through the slot on the detector tray so as to be located in the accommodation cavity.

9 . The detector support device according to claim 8 , wherein the connector is a U-shaped structure defining two ends, and the detector interface and the cable interface are respectively provided at the two ends of the U-shaped structure.

10 . The detector support device according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion is an arc-shaped structure with an opening, and at least one of the first bending portion and the second bending portion is an arc-shaped structure with an opening.

11 . The detector support device according to claim 2 , wherein the first fixing portion and the first bending portion form an S-shaped structure, the second fixing portion and the first bending portion form an S-shaped structure, and the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion form an S-shaped structure.

12 . The detector support device according to claim 2 , further comprising a tank chain for accommodating at least one of the first bending portion and the second bending portion.

13 . The detector support device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of heat dissipation slots are provided along the bottom wall of the accommodation cavity, and the first fixing portion and the first bending portion are respectively wound outside at least two of the plurality heat dissipation slots.

14 . An X-ray imaging apparatus, comprising a detection bed and a detector support device according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket of the detector support device is installed on the detection bed, the slide tray is configured to slide into or out of the detection bed from a first side of the detection bed, and the first end of the cable extends out of the slide tray to connect to an external connector located on a second side of the detection bed.

15 . An X-ray imaging apparatus, comprising a chest-radiography stand and a detector support device according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket of the detector support device is installed on the chest-radiography stand, the slide tray is configured to slide into or out of the chest-radiography stand from a first side of the chest-radiography stand, and the first end of the cable extends out of the slide tray to connect to an external connector located on a second side of the chest-radiography stand.
