Description

本発明は、モニタ部の姿勢の自由度の向上を図ることが可能な検眼装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an optometry apparatus capable of improving the degree of freedom of the posture of a monitor unit.

被検者に対面して上下左右前後方向に可動されかつ被検眼像を光学系を介して観察しつつ検査を行う測定ヘッドと、これを操作するジョイスティックを有しかつ被検者の被検眼像をモニタ部に表示する操作・表示ユニットとをケーブル接続することにより、測定ヘッドに対する操作・表示ユニットの配置の自由度を向上させた構成の検眼装置が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   A measurement head that is movable in the vertical and horizontal directions and facing the subject and that examines the eye image while observing the eye image via an optical system, and has a joystick for operating the head, and the eye image of the subject An optometry apparatus having a configuration in which the degree of freedom of the operation / display unit arrangement with respect to the measurement head is improved by connecting a cable to an operation / display unit that displays a monitor on the monitor unit is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ).

また、操作・表示ユニットとしてのコントローラ装置の本体部に対してモニタ部を回動可能の構成とした検眼装置も知られている。モニタ部の表示画面はタッチパネル画面とされ、タッチパネル画面には、操作ボタンと各種の画像情報とが表示される。   There is also known an optometry apparatus in which a monitor unit is rotatable with respect to a main body unit of a controller device as an operation / display unit. The display screen of the monitor unit is a touch panel screen, and operation buttons and various image information are displayed on the touch panel screen.

タッチパネル画面は、モニタ部の水平軸回りの回動により、検者に対面する側と被検者に対面する側とに向けられ、検者に対面する側に向けられたときと被検者に対面する側とに向けられたときとで、そのタッチパネル画面に表示されている画像情報が上下左右に反転され、かつ、回転前のボタンの位置と回転後のボタンの位置とが見た目上同じとなるような位置に制御回路により制御される(例えば、特許文献2参照)。   The touch panel screen is directed to the side facing the examiner and the side facing the subject by the rotation of the monitor unit around the horizontal axis, and to the subject when facing the side facing the examiner. When facing the facing side, the image information displayed on the touch panel screen is flipped vertically and horizontally, and the position of the button before rotation and the position of the button after rotation appear to be the same The position is controlled by a control circuit (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

また、使用者が自身の姿勢に合うようにモニタ部を容易に移動させることができる超音波診断装置のモニタ支持装置も知られている(例えば、特許文献3参照)。更に、測定ヘッドの後部側にモニタ部を略垂直状態から水平状態まで傾斜可能に保持する保持手段を設ける眼科装置も知られている(特許文献4参照)。   There is also known a monitor support device for an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus in which a user can easily move a monitor unit so as to suit his / her posture (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Furthermore, an ophthalmologic apparatus is also known in which a holding unit is provided on the rear side of the measuring head so that the monitor unit can be tilted from a substantially vertical state to a horizontal state (see Patent Document 4).

特許第3676053号公報Japanese Patent No. 3676053 特開2007−68583号公報JP 2007-68583 A 特開2007−37981号公報JP 2007-37981 A 特許第4587741号公報Japanese Patent No. 45877741

しかしながら、特許文献1に開示された眼科装置は、測定ヘッドとこれを操作する操作・表示ユニットとが別体の構成であるので、測定ヘッドに対するモニタ部の配置の自由度は向上するものの、別々に持ち運ばなければならず、不便である。また、省スペース化を図り難く、被験者がいる側から操作するのも不便である。   However, since the ophthalmologic apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a separate configuration of the measurement head and the operation / display unit for operating the measurement head, the degree of freedom of the arrangement of the monitor unit with respect to the measurement head is improved. It is inconvenient to carry. In addition, it is difficult to save space and it is inconvenient to operate from the side where the subject is.

例えば、被検者によっては、開瞼状態の悪い人がおり、このような被検者に対しては、検者が、被検者に寄り添って開瞼の手伝いを行っているが、被検者のいる側からはモニタ部の表示画面は見えず、測定効率の低下等を招いている。   For example, depending on the subject, there is a person with a poor open state, and for such a subject, the examiner snuggles up to the subject to help with the opening. The display screen of the monitor unit cannot be seen from the side where the person is present, resulting in a decrease in measurement efficiency.

そこで、特許文献2に開示された技術を用いて、モニタ部と測定ヘッドとの一体化を図り、被検者に対面する側と検者に対面する側とにモニタ部の表示画面を向けることのできる構成とすることが考えられる。   Therefore, using the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2, the monitor unit and the measurement head are integrated, and the display screen of the monitor unit is directed to the side facing the subject and the side facing the examiner. It is conceivable to have a configuration that can

このような構成とすると、検者に対面する側と被検者に対面する側とに表示画面を向けることができて、持ち運びが便利であり、かつ、省スペース化を図ることもできるが、測定ヘッドに対するモニタ部の姿勢が制限され、測定ヘッドとモニタ部とが別体であることによる自由度が減少する。   With such a configuration, the display screen can be directed to the side facing the examiner and the side facing the examinee, which is convenient to carry and can save space. The posture of the monitor unit with respect to the measurement head is limited, and the degree of freedom due to the measurement head and the monitor unit being separate is reduced.

本発明は、上記の事情に鑑みて為されたもので、測定ヘッドとこれを操作するモニタ部との一体化を図った場合でも、姿勢変更作業の効率化を図りつつ、測定ヘッドに対するモニタ部の姿勢の自由度の向上を図ることができる検眼装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and even when the measurement head and the monitor unit for operating the measurement head are integrated, the monitor unit for the measurement head while improving the efficiency of the posture changing work. An object of the present invention is to provide an optometry apparatus capable of improving the degree of freedom of posture.

前記目的を達成するために、本発明の検眼装置は、ベース部と、ベース部の前方に位置する被検者に対面した状態でこのベース部に上下方向、左右方向及び前後方向にそれぞれ可動可能に支持され、かつ被検眼像を光学系を介して観察しつつ検査を行う測定ヘッドと、被検眼像と操作ボタンとを少なくとも提示可能なタッチパネル式の表示面を有するモニタ部とを有する検眼装置において、モニタ部が可撓性を有する材質で形成され、さらに、検眼装置が、モニタ部の表示面を略上下方向に沿って支持しつつこのモニタ部を垂直軸回りに可動可能に支持する支持部を有することを特徴とする。   To achieve the above object, the optometry apparatus of the present invention is movable in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the front-rear direction to the base portion while facing the subject positioned in front of the base portion. And a monitor unit having a touch panel display surface capable of presenting at least the subject eye image and the operation buttons. The monitor unit is formed of a flexible material, and the optometry apparatus supports the monitor unit movably about a vertical axis while supporting the display surface of the monitor unit substantially along the vertical direction. It has the part.

ここで、支持部は測定ヘッドの頂部に設けられている構成とすることができる。   Here, the support part may be configured to be provided on the top of the measurement head.

また、支持部が左右方向及び前後方向に4つの側面を有し、これら側面が略上下方向に沿って延び、モニタ部がこれら側面に沿って可動可能に支持されている構成とすることができる。   Further, the support portion may have four side surfaces in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction, these side surfaces may extend substantially along the vertical direction, and the monitor unit may be supported movably along these side surfaces. .

このように構成された本発明の検眼装置では、モニタ部が可撓性を有する材質で形成され、さらに、検眼装置が、モニタ部の表示面を略上下方向に沿って支持しつつこのモニタ部を垂直軸回りに可動可能に支持する支持部を有する。   In the optometry apparatus of the present invention configured as described above, the monitor unit is formed of a flexible material, and the optometry apparatus further supports the monitor unit while supporting the display surface of the monitor unit in the substantially vertical direction. Is supported so as to be movable around a vertical axis.

このようにすることで、モニタ部の表示面を検者に対面する側から被検者に対面する側への姿勢変更作業を容易に行うことができる。従って、測定ヘッドとこれを操作するモニタ部との一体化を図った場合でも、姿勢変更作業の効率化を図りつつ、測定ヘッドに対するモニタ部の姿勢の自由度の向上を図ることができる。   By doing in this way, the posture change operation | work from the side which faces the examiner to the display surface of a monitor part can be easily performed. Therefore, even when the measurement head and the monitor unit for operating the measurement head are integrated, it is possible to improve the freedom of the posture of the monitor unit with respect to the measurement head while improving the efficiency of the posture changing work.

ここで、支持部が測定ヘッドの頂部に設けられているので、モニタ部の視認性をさらに向上させることができ、これにより、測定ヘッドとこれを操作するモニタ部との一体化を図った場合でも、姿勢変更作業の効率化を図りつつ、測定ヘッドに対するモニタ部の姿勢の自由度の向上をさらに図ることができる。   Here, since the support part is provided on the top of the measurement head, the visibility of the monitor part can be further improved, and thereby the measurement head and the monitor part for operating the measurement head are integrated. However, it is possible to further improve the degree of freedom of the posture of the monitor unit with respect to the measuring head while improving the efficiency of the posture changing work.

また、支持部が左右方向及び前後方向に4つの側面を有し、これら側面が略上下方向に沿って延び、モニタ部がこれら側面に沿って可動可能に支持されているので、モニタ部の視認性をより向上させることができ、これにより、測定ヘッドとこれを操作するモニタ部との一体化を図った場合でも、姿勢変更作業の効率化を図りつつ、測定ヘッドに対するモニタ部の姿勢の自由度の向上をより図ることができる。   In addition, since the support portion has four side surfaces in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction, these side surfaces extend substantially along the vertical direction, and the monitor unit is supported so as to be movable along these side surfaces. Even if the measurement head and the monitor unit that operates the measurement head are integrated, the posture of the monitor unit with respect to the measurement head can be freely controlled while improving the efficiency of the posture changing work. The degree of improvement can be further improved.

図5及び図6は、本実施の形態である検眼装置のモニタ部及び支持部を示す斜視図及び一部破断斜視図である。   5 and 6 are a perspective view and a partially broken perspective view showing a monitor unit and a support unit of the optometry apparatus according to the present embodiment.

支持部11は中空の箱状に形成され、左右方向及び前後方向にそれぞれ、略垂直方向(上下方向)に延びる4つの側面11aを有する。図6に詳細を示すように、支持部11は、これら側面11aに沿って設けられた可撓性を有する薄板状のプラスチック板等からなる可動板11bを有する。   The support portion 11 is formed in a hollow box shape, and has four side surfaces 11a extending in a substantially vertical direction (vertical direction) in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction, respectively. As shown in detail in FIG. 6, the support portion 11 has a movable plate 11b made of a flexible thin plate-like plastic plate or the like provided along the side surface 11a.

支持部11はまた、側面11aの表面に沿って水平方向(前後方向及び左右方向)に延びる一対のガイド部材11cを有する。このガイド部材11cは、これも図6に詳細を示すように、可動板11bの上下端部が収納可能な溝11dを有し、この溝11d内に可動板11bの上下端部が収納されることで、可動板11bが水平方向に摺動可能に支持されている。そして、この可動板11bにモニタ部10が固定されている。   The support part 11 also has a pair of guide members 11c extending in the horizontal direction (front-rear direction and left-right direction) along the surface of the side surface 11a. As shown in detail in FIG. 6, the guide member 11c has a groove 11d in which the upper and lower ends of the movable plate 11b can be accommodated, and the upper and lower ends of the movable plate 11b are accommodated in the groove 11d. Thus, the movable plate 11b is supported so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction. The monitor unit 10 is fixed to the movable plate 11b.

モニタ部10は可撓性を有する材質で形成されている。より詳細には、図6に示すように、モニタ部10は、表示面10aに表示画面を表示可能な略矩形状の平面ディスプレイ部10bと、このディスプレイ部10bの縁部を支持するベゼル部10cとを有する。   The monitor unit 10 is formed of a flexible material. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the monitor unit 10 includes a substantially rectangular flat display unit 10b that can display a display screen on the display surface 10a, and a bezel unit 10c that supports an edge of the display unit 10b. And have.

平面ディスプレイ部10bは、例えば薄板状のプラスチック基板上に各種半導体回路及び表示部が形成されることで、全体として可撓性を有するように形成されている。平面ディスプレイ部10bの形式に特段限定はなく、いわゆる液晶ディスプレイ、有機エレクトロルミネセンスディスプレイ等、既知のディスプレイが好適に適用可能である。   The flat display unit 10b is formed to have flexibility as a whole by forming various semiconductor circuits and a display unit on, for example, a thin plastic substrate. There is no particular limitation on the type of the flat display unit 10b, and a known display such as a so-called liquid crystal display or an organic electroluminescence display can be suitably applied.

また、ベゼル部10cも同様に薄板状のプラスチック板等から形成され、同様に可撓性を有するように形成されている。従って、本実施の形態であるモニタ部10は、全体として可撓性を有するように形成されている。   The bezel portion 10c is similarly formed from a thin plastic plate or the like, and is similarly formed to have flexibility. Therefore, the monitor unit 10 according to the present embodiment is formed to have flexibility as a whole.

そして、ベゼル部10cの外周部が可動板11bに固定され、これにより、モニタ部10の表示面10aが支持部11の可動板11bに略上下方向に沿って支持され、かつ、支持部11の側面11aに沿って垂直軸回りに可動可能に支持される。   And the outer peripheral part of the bezel part 10c is fixed to the movable plate 11b, whereby the display surface 10a of the monitor part 10 is supported on the movable plate 11b of the support part 11 along the substantially vertical direction, and the support part 11 It is supported so as to be movable around the vertical axis along the side surface 11a.

なお、図示を省略したが、モニタ部10の裏面には、モニタ部10の表示面10aに、光学系6による被検者の被検眼像及び操作ボタン(いずれも図示略)を表示する表示画面を生成するための表示信号を生成し、また、表示面10aへの検者のタッチ操作を検出するための制御回路ユニットが設けられている。この制御回路ユニットは測定ヘッド3の光学系6等と接続されている。   Although not shown, a display screen on the back surface of the monitor unit 10 displays the subject's eye image and operation buttons (both not shown) by the optical system 6 on the display surface 10a of the monitor unit 10. A control circuit unit is provided for generating a display signal for generating, and detecting a touch operation of the examiner on the display surface 10a. This control circuit unit is connected to the optical system 6 and the like of the measuring head 3.

また、モニタ部10及び図略の制御回路ユニットへの電源及び制御信号供給のために、測定ヘッド3の光学系6等と制御回路ユニットとの間には図略の電源線及び信号線が接続されている。この電源線及び信号線は、例えば支持部11の側面11aの一部に孔を設け、あるいは、側面11aの前後面または左右面を切り欠き、この孔または切欠部を通して制御回路ユニットに接続されればよい。さらに好ましくは、電源線及び信号線を、モニタ部10の垂直軸回りの可動によっても接続状態を保てる程度の長さにし、より好ましくは、これら電源線等をカール状に形成すればよい。   Further, in order to supply power and control signals to the monitor unit 10 and a control circuit unit (not shown), a power line and signal lines (not shown) are connected between the optical system 6 and the like of the measuring head 3 and the control circuit unit. Has been. For example, the power supply line and the signal line are provided with a hole in a part of the side surface 11a of the support portion 11, or the front and rear surfaces or the left and right surfaces of the side surface 11a are cut out and connected to the control circuit unit through the hole or the cutout portion. That's fine. More preferably, the power supply line and the signal line are made long enough to maintain the connection state even when the monitor unit 10 is movable about the vertical axis, and more preferably, the power supply line and the like may be formed in a curled shape.

このように構成された本実施の形態である検眼装置1では、モニタ部10が可撓性を有する材質で形成され、さらに、検眼装置が、モニタ部10の表示面10aを略上下方向に沿って支持しつつこのモニタ部10を垂直軸回りに可動可能に支持する支持部11を有する。   In the optometry apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment configured as described above, the monitor unit 10 is formed of a flexible material, and the optometry apparatus further extends along the display surface 10a of the monitor unit 10 substantially in the vertical direction. The monitor unit 10 is supported so as to be movable around a vertical axis.

このようにすることで、モニタ部10の表示面10aを検者に対面する側から被検者に対面する側への姿勢変更作業を容易に行うことができる。従って、測定ヘッド3とこれを操作するモニタ部10との一体化を図った場合でも、姿勢変更作業の効率化を図りつつ、測定ヘッド3に対するモニタ部10の姿勢の自由度の向上を図ることができる。   By doing in this way, the attitude | position change operation | work from the side which faces the examiner to the display surface 10a of the monitor part 10 can be easily performed. Therefore, even when the measurement head 3 and the monitor unit 10 for operating the measurement head 3 are integrated, it is possible to improve the posture freedom of the monitor unit 10 with respect to the measurement head 3 while improving the efficiency of the posture changing work. Can do.

加えて、本実施の形態である検眼装置1によれば、図1に示すように、被検者から見て測定ヘッド3の前側にモニタ部10の表示面10aを向けた場合、検者が被検者側に立って被検者に対して種々の介助動作をしつつ、モニタ部10の表示面10aを視認することができ、測定効率の向上を図ることができる。   In addition, according to the optometry apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, when the display surface 10a of the monitor unit 10 is directed to the front side of the measurement head 3 when viewed from the subject, the examiner The display surface 10a of the monitor unit 10 can be visually recognized while standing on the subject side and performing various assisting operations on the subject, and the measurement efficiency can be improved.

また、図3に示すように、被検者から見て測定ヘッド3の後側にモニタ部10の表示面10aを向けた場合、検者が被検者と向き合った状態で測定を行うことができ、さらに、図2に示すように、被検者から見て測定ヘッド3の左右のいずれかの側(図示例では右側)にモニタ部10の表示面10aを向けた場合、検者が被検者の状態を確認しつつ測定作業を行うことができる。このように、本実施の形態である検眼装置1によれば、多様な形態において測定作業を行うことができ、姿勢変更作業の効率化を図りつつ、測定ヘッド3に対するモニタ部10の姿勢の自由度の向上を図ることができる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, when the display surface 10a of the monitor unit 10 is directed to the rear side of the measuring head 3 when viewed from the subject, the measurement can be performed with the examiner facing the subject. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the display surface 10a of the monitor unit 10 is directed to either the left or right side (right side in the illustrated example) of the measurement head 3 when viewed from the subject, Measurement work can be performed while checking the condition of the examiner. As described above, according to the optometry apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the measurement work can be performed in various forms, and the posture of the monitor unit 10 with respect to the measurement head 3 can be freely controlled while improving the posture change work efficiency. It is possible to improve the degree.

ここで、支持部11が測定ヘッド3の頂部9に設けられているので、モニタ部10の視認性をさらに向上させることができ、これにより、測定ヘッド3とこれを操作するモニタ部10との一体化を図った場合でも、姿勢変更作業の効率化を図りつつ、測定ヘッド3に対するモニタ部10の姿勢の自由度の向上をさらに図ることができる。   Here, since the support part 11 is provided in the top part 9 of the measurement head 3, the visibility of the monitor part 10 can further be improved, and, thereby, the measurement head 3 and the monitor part 10 which operates this can be improved. Even in the case of integration, it is possible to further improve the degree of freedom of the posture of the monitor unit 10 with respect to the measuring head 3 while improving the efficiency of the posture changing work.

また、支持部11が左右方向及び前後方向に4つの側面11aを有し、これら側面11aが略上下方向に沿って延び、モニタ部10がこれら側面11aに沿って可動可能に支持されているので、モニタ部10の視認性をより向上させることができ、これにより、測定ヘッド3とこれを操作するモニタ部10との一体化を図った場合でも、姿勢変更作業の効率化を図りつつ、測定ヘッド3に対するモニタ部10の姿勢の自由度の向上をより図ることができる。   Further, since the support portion 11 has four side surfaces 11a in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction, these side surfaces 11a extend substantially along the up-down direction, and the monitor portion 10 is supported movably along these side surfaces 11a. Further, the visibility of the monitor unit 10 can be further improved, so that even when the measurement head 3 and the monitor unit 10 for operating the monitor unit 10 are integrated, the posture changing work can be performed more efficiently. The degree of freedom of the posture of the monitor unit 10 with respect to the head 3 can be further improved.

以上、図面を参照して、本発明の実施の形態を詳述してきたが、具体的な構成は、この実施の形態及び実施例に限らず、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない程度の設計的変更は、本発明に含まれる。   The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to the embodiment and the example, and the design change is within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. Are included in the present invention.

一例として、上述した本実施の形態では、支持部11を外形箱状に形成したが、モニタ部10が大きく湾曲して視認性が悪くならない程度の曲率であれば、例えば支持部11を円筒状あるいは楕円筒状に形成してもよい。また、モニタ部10を支持する構造も本実施の形態のそれに限定されず、周知の構造が好適に適用可能である。   As an example, in the present embodiment described above, the support portion 11 is formed in an outer shape. However, if the curvature is such that the monitor portion 10 is largely curved and visibility is not deteriorated, for example, the support portion 11 is cylindrical. Or you may form in an elliptical cylinder shape. Further, the structure for supporting the monitor unit 10 is not limited to that of the present embodiment, and a known structure can be suitably applied.

また、上述した本実施の形態では、測定ヘッド3の頂部9にモニタ部10及び支持部11を設けたが、モニタ部10を設ける箇所は測定ヘッド3と別体である必要はなく、測定ヘッド3に支持部11を設け、この支持部11によりモニタ部10を支持してもよい。但し、測定ヘッド3の前部は光学系6による被検眼の測定のためにモニタ部10を移動することができないので、支持部11は、測定ヘッド3の前部を除いた垂直軸回りに可動可能にモニタ部10を支持すればよい。   Further, in the present embodiment described above, the monitor unit 10 and the support unit 11 are provided on the top 9 of the measurement head 3, but the location where the monitor unit 10 is provided is not necessarily separate from the measurement head 3. 3, the support part 11 may be provided, and the monitor part 10 may be supported by the support part 11. However, since the front part of the measuring head 3 cannot move the monitor unit 10 for measuring the eye to be inspected by the optical system 6, the support part 11 is movable around the vertical axis excluding the front part of the measuring head 3. What is necessary is just to support the monitor part 10 as possible.

さらに、上述した本実施の形態では、支持部11はその側面11aの全周にわたってモニタ部10を垂直軸回りに可動可能に支持していたが、支持部11はその側面11aの全周にわたってモニタ部10を支持しなくともよく、例えば垂直軸回りに270°(つまり側面11aの3/4)だけ可動可能に支持してもよい。この場合、支持部11自体が残りの角度(例えば90°)だけ測定ヘッド3に対して回動可能に構成されていれば、全体としてモニタ部10が測定ヘッド3に対して全周にわたって可動可能となって好ましい。   Furthermore, in the present embodiment described above, the support unit 11 supports the monitor unit 10 so as to be movable around the vertical axis over the entire periphery of the side surface 11a. However, the support unit 11 monitors the entire periphery of the side surface 11a. The portion 10 may not be supported, and may be supported so as to be movable by, for example, 270 ° (that is, 3/4 of the side surface 11a) around the vertical axis. In this case, if the support portion 11 itself is configured to be rotatable with respect to the measurement head 3 by the remaining angle (for example, 90 °), the monitor portion 10 can move with respect to the measurement head 3 over the entire circumference. It is preferable.
