Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily X-ray-photograph all the parts by one device by installing a photograph part for the X-ray-photograph onto a rotatable arm which turns on a vertical plane and mounting a control part for controlling a lifter which elevation-drives the rotatable arm in the vertical direction and the photographing part, onto a transfer dolly. CONSTITUTION:An X-ray tube 10 as photographing part for X-ray-photographing cattle P is rotatably installed onto the top edge of a rotatable arm 11 so as to be extended in the horizontal direction as shown by the arrow A and so that the direction of the X-ray tube 10 can be shifted from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction as shown by the arrow B. The rotatable arm 11 turns the X-ray tube 10 on the vertical plane as shown by the arrow C, and rotatably supported onto the movable part 13c of a lifter 13. The lifter 13 is mounted onto a transfer dolly 14 so that the rotatable arm 11 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction as shown by the arrow D. Also the X-ray controller 15, high voltage generator 16, etc., are mounted onto the transfer dolly 14, and can be shifted to the fixing position for the cattle P. Thus, all the parts can be easily X-ray-photographed by one device.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a large animal X-ray photographing apparatus for X-ray photographing large animals such as cows and horses.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when taking X-ray images of cows, horses, etc. kept on farms, etc., an X-ray imaging device 1 is installed on the ground as shown in FIG. Large animals such as cows P
An attendant moored the nose ring N of the cow P with a rope 2, placed an X-ray film cassette 3 at a position facing the X-ray imaging device 1 across the cow P, and performed X-ray photography. Ta.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in such a conventional imaging method, the cow is not far from the imaging location where the X-ray imaging device 1 is installed.

It is necessary to guide large animals such as horses, and there is a problem in that it takes a lot of time and effort to guide large animals. In addition, conventionally, XtI imaging is performed by mooring the nose ring of large animals, making it difficult to maintain a constant posture and position of the large animal, making it difficult to X-ray all parts of the animal with one device. It wasn't easy.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to enable X-ray photography of large animals such as cows and horses on-site, and to easily X-ray all parts of large animals such as cows and horses with one device. It is an object of the present invention to provide an X-ray imaging device for large animals that can perform radiography.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the X-ray imaging apparatus for large animals according to the present invention includes an imaging section for taking X-ray images of large animals such as cows and horses.
Attach it to a rotating arm that rotates in a vertical plane, and move this rotating arm up and down. A lower drive drive lifter and a control section for controlling the photographing section are mounted on a moving cart.

(Function) In the present invention, the entire device can be moved to the mooring position for large animals by means of a movable trolley.

There is no need to move a large animal such as a horse to an imaging location, and X-ray imaging of a large animal can be performed at that location. In addition, the position of the imaging section in the vertical plane can be arbitrarily changed using a rotary arm, and the height position of the imaging section can be arbitrarily changed using a lifter, so all parts can be easily inspected using one device. Line photography is possible.

(Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of the X-ray imaging apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof. 1 and 2, reference numeral 10 denotes an X-ray tube as an imaging unit for taking X-ray images of a large animal, such as a cow P. The X-ray tube 10 is attached so as to be extendable and retractable, and to be rotatable so that the direction of the X-ray tube 10 can be changed from vertical to horizontal as shown by arrow B.

The rotating arm 11 is for rotating the X-ray tube 10 in a vertical plane as shown by arrow C, and is rotatably supported by a movable part 13a of a lifter 13 via an arm support part 12. This lifter 13 drives the rotary arm 11 up and down in the vertical direction as shown by the arrow, and the movable trolley 1
It is installed in 4. This moving cart 14 has a lifter 1.
In addition to 3, an X-ray controller 15, a high voltage generator 16, an operating device 17, etc. are installed as a control unit for controlling the X-ray tube 10, so that the entire device can be moved to the mooring position of the cow P. It has become.

Further, the arm support portion 12 is provided with a lock lever 18 for fixing the vertical position of the rotary arm 11, and by loosening this lock lever 18, the height position of the X-ray tube 10 can be adjusted as desired. It has become. and,
The movable part 13a of the lifter 13 is provided with a lock lever 19 for fixing the rotational position of the rotary arm 1. By loosening this lock lever 19, the position of the X-ray tube 10 in the vertical plane can be adjusted as desired. It is now possible to do so. In addition, 20 in the figure is a holding frame for holding the cow P.
An X-ray film cassette 21 containing an X-ray film therein is detachably attached to the holding frame 20 facing the X-ray tube 10.

When performing X-ray photography of, for example, a cow P using the large animal X-ray photography apparatus configured as described above, the movable trolley 14 is moved to the holding position 11-p and the X-ray photography is performed. Therefore, in this example, it is a cow.

There is no need to move a large animal such as a horse to an imaging location, and X-ray imaging of a large animal can be performed at that location. In addition, the position of the X-ray tube 1o in the vertical plane is determined by rotating arm] 1
Since the height position of the X-ray tube 10 can be changed arbitrarily using the lifter 13, all parts can be easily X-rayed with one device.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention has an imaging unit for taking X-ray images of large animals such as cows and horses, which is attached to a rotating arm that rotates in a vertical plane, and which is driven up and down in the vertical direction. A lifter for controlling the camera and a control unit for controlling the photographing unit are mounted on a movable trolley. Therefore, it is possible to provide an X-ray photographing device for large animals that can X-ray photograph large animals such as cows and horses on the spot, and can easily X-ray photograph all parts of the animal with one device. .
