Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bedienplatz für ein Röntgenprüfgerät.The invention relates to an operator station for an X-ray inspection device.

Herkömmliche Bedienplätze von Röntgenprüfgeräten weisen handelsübliche Stühle und Tische auf, die eine individuelle Anpassung an Körpergröße und Körperhaltung des Bedienpersonals nicht zulassen. Dies führt u. a. neben Schmerzen auch zu einer schnellen Ermüdung des Bedienpersonals.Conventional operator stations of X-ray inspection devices have commercial chairs and tables, which do not allow an individual adaptation to height and posture of the operating personnel. This leads u. a. in addition to pain also to a quick fatigue of the operating staff.

Ein solcher Bedienplatz stellt sich in der DE 25 32 218 C 2 dar.Such an operator station arises in the DE 25 32 218 C 2 represents.

Dokument DE-A-44 23 360 offenbart ein chirurgisches Röntgendiagnostikgerät mit einem Monitor, der mittels einer Höhenverstelleinrichtung höhenverstellbar zur Röntgeneinheit angebracht und in der horizontalen Ebene um eine Achse drehbar gelagert ist. Das Gerät wird von einem separaten Bedienfeld bedient.document DE-A-44 23 360 discloses a surgical X-ray diagnostic device with a monitor which is mounted by means of a height adjustment height adjustable to the X-ray unit and rotatably mounted in the horizontal plane about an axis. The device is operated by a separate control panel.

Hieraus stellt sich die Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Bedienplatz aufzuzeigen, der mit einem Röntgenprüfgerät verbunden, ergonomisch angepasst ist.Hence, the object of the invention to provide an operator station, which is connected to an X-ray, ergonomically adjusted.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

Dabei liegt der Erfindung die Idee zugrunde, mit verstellbaren Mitteln eine Einheit zum Sitzen als Steheinheit auszuführen, diese Sitz/Steheinheit sowie einen Monitor höhenverstellbar am Röntgenprüfgerät anzubringen, den Monitor in seiner horizontalen Ebene um eine Achse drehbar zu lagern und ein Bedienfeld am Monitor klappbar zu befestigen. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass das Bedienpersonal sich den Bedienplatz individuell einrichten bzw. einstellen kann.The invention is based on the idea to perform with adjustable means a unit for sitting as Steheinheit to install this seat / Steheinheit and a monitor height adjustable on X-ray, rotatably support the monitor in its horizontal plane about an axis and a control panel on the monitor hinged fasten. This makes it possible for the operating personnel to set up or adjust the operator station individually.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.Advantageous embodiments are listed in the subclaims.

So kann der Monitor an einer Höhenverstelleinheit befestigt sein, die wiederum auf einem Standfuß direkt am Röntgenprüfgerät angeordnet ist. Dabei ist der Monitor um seine eigene Achse bzw. um die Längsachse der Höhenverstelleinheit drehbar befestigt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Bedienperson beim Verlassen der Sitz/Steheinheit den Monitor wegschwenken und somit einfach aufstehen kann. Das Bedienfeld ist am Monitor vorzugsweise in einzelnen Rastschritten klappbar befestigt und weist eine Handballenauflage auf. Die Höhenverstelleinheit kann manuell, motorisch oder hydraulisch betätigt werden.Thus, the monitor can be attached to a height adjustment unit, which in turn is arranged on a stand directly on the X-ray inspection. In this case, the monitor is rotatably mounted about its own axis or about the longitudinal axis of the height adjustment unit. This has the advantage that the operator when leaving the seat / Steheitheit swing away the monitor and thus can easily get up. The control panel is attached to the monitor preferably foldable in individual locking steps and has a palm rest on. The height adjustment unit can be operated manually, motorized or hydraulically.

In Figur 1 ist ein ergonomisch aufgebauter Bedienplatz 1 eines Röntgenprüfgerätes 2 mit einer Sitz/Steheinheit 3 und einem Monitor 4 mit Bedienfeld 5 dargestellt. Die Sitz/Steheinheit 3 sowie der Monitor 4 sind höhenverstellbar, vorzugsweise direkt mit dem Röntgenprüfgerät 2 verbunden. Der Monitor 4 ist in der Ebene um eine Höhenverstelleinheit 6 drehbar gelagert. Die Höhenverstelleinheit 6 ist auf einem Standfuß, der vorzugsweise mit dem Röntgenprüfgerät 2 verbunden ist, angebracht. Das Bedienfeld 5 ist klappbar am Monitor 4 ausgeführt.In FIG. 1 an ergonomically constructed operating station 1 of an X-ray inspection device 2 with a seat / upright unit 3 and a monitor 4 with control panel 5 is shown. The seat / upright unit 3 and the monitor 4 are height-adjustable, preferably connected directly to the X-ray inspection device 2. The monitor 4 is rotatably mounted in the plane about a height adjustment unit 6. The height adjustment unit 6 is mounted on a pedestal, which is preferably connected to the X-ray inspection device 2. The control panel 5 is designed to fold on the monitor 4.

In Figur 2 ist die Sitz/Steheinheit 3 detaillierter aufgezeigt. Die Sitz/Steheinheit 3 weist ein Stütz- und Führungsteil 11 auf, in das ein Abstützteil 8 höhenverstellbar geführt ist. Das Stütz- und Führungsteil 11 kann dabei durch teleskopartige Füsse selber höhenverstellbar gestaltet sein. Am Abstützteil 8 ist an einer Seite eine Einrastmechanik 10, beispielsweise ein federnd gelagerter Bolzen, angeordnet, der bei einer Höhenverstellung h1 innerhalb des Stütz- und Führungsteiles 11 in ein zugehöriges Einrastloch (nicht näher dargestellt) einrastet. Eine weitere Einrastmechanik 7, die sich an der anderen Seite des Abstützteils 8 befindet, wird in einer Führung 9 am Röntgenprüfgerät 2 geführt und gelagert, so dass das Abstützteil 8 bei der Höhenverstellung h1 im zugehörigen Einsatzloch 9.1 der Führung 9 einrastet. In vorteilhafter Art und Weise weisen beide Einrastmechaniken 7 und 10 einen ähnlichen Einrastmechanismus auf, wodurch beide Einrastmechaniken 7, 10 über eine gemeinsame Betätigungseinrichtung, beispielsweise einen Hebel (nicht näher dargestellt) bedienbar sind. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Höhenverstellung h1 motorisch oder hydraulisch vorzunehmen. In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung lässt sich auch das Abstützteil 8 innerhalb der Sitz/Steheinheit 3 verstellen. Diese Verstellung um einen Winkel γ1 bewirkt, dass eine Bedienperson 12 (siehe Figur 3) einmal näher zum Monitor 4 und auch entfernter zum Monitor 4 am Röntgenprüfgerät 2 arbeiten kann, wodurch auch die unterschiedlichen Armlängen der Bedienpersonen 12 berücksichtigt werden können.In FIG. 2 is the seat / Steheitheit 3 shown in more detail. The seat / upright unit 3 has a support and guide part 11 into which a support part 8 is guided in a height-adjustable manner. The support and guide member 11 can be designed by telescopic feet himself height adjustable. On support part 8 is on one side a latching mechanism 10, for example a spring-mounted bolt, arranged at a height adjustment h1 within the support and Guide parts 11 in an associated latching hole (not shown in detail) engages. Another latching mechanism 7, which is located on the other side of the support member 8, is guided and supported in a guide 9 on the X-ray inspection device 2, so that the support member 8 engages in the height adjustment h1 in the associated insertion hole 9.1 of the guide 9. In an advantageous manner, both latching mechanisms 7 and 10 have a similar latching mechanism, whereby both latching mechanisms 7, 10 via a common actuator, such as a lever (not shown in detail) can be operated. But it is also possible to make the height adjustment h1 motor or hydraulic. In a further advantageous embodiment, the support member 8 can be adjusted within the seat / back unit 3. This adjustment by an angle γ1 causes an operator 12 (see FIG FIG. 3 ) can operate closer to the monitor 4 and also more distant to the monitor 4 on the X-ray machine 2, whereby the different arm lengths of the operators 12 can be considered.

Wie in Figur 3 erkennbar, ist der Monitor 4 höhenverstellbar und in der Ebene schwenkbar bzw. drehbar gelagert ausgeführt. Durch die Höhenverstelleinheit 6, die beispielsweise manuell, motorisch oder hydraulisch als Hubvorrichtung betätigt werden kann, wird der Monitor 4 individuell an die Blickhöhe der Bedienperson 12 angepasst, da die Blickhöhe auch abhängig von der Körpergröße der Bedienperson 12 ist. Zur Anpassung an weitere örtliche Gegebenheiten und die gewünschte Arbeitsposition relativ zur Bandlaufrichtung B, ist der Monitor 4 mit Bedienfeld 5 um einen Winkel γ2 von ca. 180° um seine eigene Achse drehbar gehalten. Dabei ist der Monitor 4 beispielsweise auf einer drehbar gelagerten Scheibe 15 angebracht. Ist der Scheibendurchmesser der Scheibe 15 größer als der Monitor 4, kann dieser Monitor 4 auch in einem Vollkreis gedreht werden. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, den Monitor 4 in einem Winkel γ3 um die Längsachse der Höhenverstelleinrichtung 6 zu schwenken, so daß die gesamte Scheibe 15 mit Monitor 4 bewegt wird, wobei bei gleicher Höhe von Monitor 4 und Röntgenprüfgerät 2 der Monitor 4 um einen Winkel γ3 bis 180° geschwenkt werden kann. Ist der Monitor 4 bis oberhalb des Röntgenprüfgerätes 2 durch die Höhenverstelleinheit 6 ausgefahren, kann der Monitor 4 auch hier in einem Vollkreis gedreht werden.As in FIG. 3 recognizable, the monitor 4 is adjustable in height and designed to be pivotable or rotatable in the plane. By the height adjustment unit 6, which can be operated manually, motorized or hydraulically as a lifting device, for example, the monitor 4 is individually adjusted to the viewing height of the operator 12, since the gaze is also dependent on the height of the operator 12. To adapt to other local conditions and the desired working position relative to the tape running direction B, the monitor 4 with the control panel 5 by an angle γ2 of about 180 ° is rotatably supported about its own axis. In this case, the monitor 4 is mounted for example on a rotatably mounted disc 15. If the disk diameter of the disk 15 is larger than the monitor 4, this monitor 4 can also be rotated in a full circle. Another possibility is to pivot the monitor 4 at an angle γ3 about the longitudinal axis of the height adjustment device 6, so that the entire disc 15 is moved with monitor 4, wherein at the same height of the monitor 4 and X-ray 2, the monitor 4 by an angle γ3 can be pivoted to 180 °. If the monitor 4 is extended to above the X-ray inspection device 2 by the height adjustment unit 6, the monitor 4 can also be rotated here in a full circle.

Des weiteren ist das Bedienfeld 5 vorzugsweise um 50° aus der eigentlichen Bedienebene, die vorzugsweise 105° zum Monitor 4 beträgt, abklappbar gelagert, wodurch auch unterschiedliche Bedienhöhen des Bedienfeldes 5 einstellbar sind. Das Bedienfeld 5 ist in verschiedenen Winkelstellungen γ4 schrittweise und dadurch individuell einrastbar, wobei der Rastmechanismus 13 beispielsweise auf der einen Seite des Bedienfeldes 5 als Stiftrastung ausgeführt ist, vorzugsweise mit zwei Stiften, die in vorgegebene Löcher einrasten. Auf der anderen Seite des Bedienfeldes 5 ist eine Art Kugelschnapper (nicht näher dargestellt) angebracht, wodurch die Rastposition der Stifte auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite vorgegeben wird.Furthermore, the control panel 5 is preferably hinged at 50 ° from the actual operating level, which is preferably 105 ° to the monitor 4, whereby also different operating heights of the control panel 5 are adjustable. The control panel 5 is in different angular positions γ4 gradually and thereby individually latched, wherein the locking mechanism 13 is designed for example on one side of the panel 5 as a pin catch, preferably with two pins that engage in predetermined holes. On the other side of the control panel 5 is a kind of ball catch (not shown), whereby the locking position of the pins is set on the opposite side.

Wie in Figur 4 dargestellt, verfügt das Bedienfeld 5 über eine Handballenauflage 14 zur Abstützung der Handflächen der Bedienperson 12 bei der Bedienung.As in FIG. 4 illustrated, the control panel 5 has a palm rest 14 for supporting the palms of the operator 12 during operation.

Durch den ergonomischen Bedienplatz 1 am Röntgenprüfgerät 2 kann auf jedes individuelle Merkmal der Bedienperson 12 eingegangen werden, wobei gesundheitliche und physisch/psychologische Aspekte Berücksichtigung finden.Due to the ergonomic operating station 1 on the X-ray inspection device 2, it is possible to discuss every individual feature of the operator 12, taking into account health and physical / psychological aspects.

Im Rahmen der erfinderischen Idee sind Änderungen möglich. So können die Sitz/Steheinheit-3 sowie der Monitor 4 mit Bedienfeld 5 auch separat vom Röntgengerät 2 aufgestellt sein. Die Sitz/Steheinheit 3 besitzt dazu ein zweites Stütz- und Führungsteil 11, in dem das Abstützteil 8 gleichfalls geführt und arretiert wird.Within the framework of the inventive idea changes are possible. Thus, the seat / upright unit 3 and the monitor 4 with the control panel 5 can also be set up separately from the X-ray machine 2. The seat / Steheinheit 3 has to a second support and guide member 11, in which the support member 8 is also performed and locked.

In Figur 5 ist die separate Ausführung des Monitors 4 mit Bedienfeld 5 dargestellt. In einer vorteilhaften Variante können auf dem Bedienpult 16 als Stehsäule zwei Monitore 4 angebracht sein. Die Höhenverstelleinrichtung 6 kann beide Monitore 4 gleichzeitig höhenverstellen oder ist für jeden Monitor 4 einzeln installiert (nicht näher dargestellt). Die Schwenkmöglichkeit der einzelnen Monitore 4 ist jedoch dann eingeschränkt, wenn beide separat gedreht werden sollen und beide Monitore 4 zu dicht zueinander aufgebaut sind. Zum Schwenken bzw. Verdrehen der Monitore 4 als Ganzes können beide Monitore 4 auf einer gemeinsamen drehbar gelagerten Scheibe (nicht näher dargestellt) befestigt sein.In FIG. 5 is the separate version of the monitor 4 with control panel 5 shown. In an advantageous variant, two monitors 4 can be mounted on the control panel 16 as a standing column. The height adjustment device 6 can simultaneously height-adjust both monitors 4 or is individually installed for each monitor 4 (not shown in detail). However, the possibility of pivoting the individual monitors 4 is limited when both are to be rotated separately and both monitors 4 are constructed too close to each other. To pivot or rotate the monitors 4 as a whole, both monitors 4 (not shown in detail) may be mounted on a common rotatably mounted disc.
