Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is an adapter for an X-ray film magazine that is attached to an automatic film feeding device for feeding X-ray films that have been photographed one by one into an automatic developing device in a bright room. Regarding.

[Conventional technology]

A cassette-less X-ray imaging device has the convenience of being able to perform continuous X-ray imaging without using a cassette, but on the other hand, it stores several dozen X-ray films in a receive magazine in order to temporarily store the X-ray films that have already been taken. I have to. There are two methods for developing the X-ray film after shooting: one method is to take out the X-ray film one by one from the receive magazine in the darkroom and manually insert it into an automatic developing machine. There is a method in which the film is refilled into a special film storage container of an automatic film feeding device, and then the film storage container is attached to the automatic film feeding device, and the film is automatically taken out from the film storage container and fed to the automatic developing device. In both cases, darkroom work is required, which is very inconvenient.

[Purpose of invention]

This invention allows the film in the receive magazine to
This was done to eliminate the need for darkroom work such as changing the film into a special film storage container of the feeding device.

[Structure of the idea]

The specific structure for achieving the above purpose is to maintain the interior in a light-shielded state when attached to an automatic film feeding device, and to store a magazine capable of storing a large number of films inside. An adapter for a film magazine, wherein the magazine has a magazine opening and a shutter that shields the magazine opening from light, and the shutter is provided with a protruding shutter opening/closing operation part,
The adapter includes a light-shielding lid for inserting and taking out the magazine, an adapter opening that opens facing the shutter when the magazine is installed, and a suction cup in the automatic film feeding device that corresponds to the adapter opening. a mounting part to be mounted in the automatic film feeder, and a shutter opening/closing part for opening and closing the shutter of the magazine stored inside the automatic film feeder when the mounting part is mounted in the automatic film feeding device; This is an adapter for an X-ray film magazine, characterized in that it has a shutter opening operation member that can be operated.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a general receive magazine body loaded into an X-ray imaging apparatus. Reference numeral 1 denotes a receive magazine body in which exposed X-ray film is stored, and 11 a shutter that blocks light from the magazine opening 10 which is the X-ray film ejection port of the receive magazine body 1. The shutter is opened and closed by moving the shutter opening/closing operation section 12 up and down in the direction of the arrow.

In FIG. 1, when the shutter opening/closing operation 12 is pulled upward, the shutter 11 opens to open the magazine opening 10. As shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the X-ray film magazine adapter of the present invention. Reference numeral 2 designates the adapter body. Open the light-shielding lid 21 for inserting and removing the receive magazine body 1 as shown by the broken line, and after installing the receive magazine body 1 into the adapter body 2, open the light-shielding lid 21 as shown in the solid line. Close the lid. Reference numeral 23 denotes a magazine guide for setting the receive magazine main body 1 mounted inside the adapter main body 2 in a fixed position.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a pull-up handle that is a shutter opening operation member, and one end of the pull-up handle 22 has a claw 22B inside the adapter body 2, and the other end is outside the adapter body 2, and a handle 22A.
It is becoming. Reference numeral 24 designates a mounting plate for the mounting portion of the adapter body 2, and when the adapter body 2 is attached to the automatic film feeding device 4, it is used for positioning corresponding to the suction cup 41 in the automatic film feeding device 4 and for blocking light from the insertion portion gap. It's useful.

The adapter body 2 is constructed by opening the light-shielding lid 21, attaching the receive magazine body 1, and closing the light-shielding lid 21. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the adapter body 2 is attached to the automatic film feeding device 4. , rotate the handle 22A 90 degrees to the position A' (dashed line). When the handle 22A is rotated, the claw 22B at the other end also rotates, and the claw 22B engages with the shutter opening/closing operation section 12 of the receive magazine main body 1. When the handle 22A is pulled upward, the shutter 11 of the receive magazine body 1 is opened. Next, the films F can be taken out one by one from the magazine opening 10, which is a film take-out port, by means of a suction cup 41 having a film take-out mechanism.

FIG. 3 shows an adapter body 2 in which an automatic film feeding device 4 is attached to an automatic film developing device 3, and a receive magazine body 1 is housed therein.
A cross section with the attached is shown. After the adapter body 2 is attached and the shutter 11 of the receive magazine body 1 is opened, the films F are separated and taken out one by one by the suction cup 41 and conveyed to the automatic film developing device 3 by the conveyance roller 42.

In the above description, the handle 22A needs to be pulled upward in order to open the shutter 11 of the receive magazine body 1, but after being pulled up, if it gets in the way, it may be returned to its original position. The shutter 11 is locked and maintains the open state.

In addition, in the above description, the shutter opening/closing operation part 12 of the receive magazine body 1 has a structure in which the shutter 11 is opened by pulling it upward, but for operational safety reasons, for example, a button is provided on the side of the receive magazine body 1, and the button is not pressed. In the case of a structure in which the shutter opening/closing operation part 12 is pulled up only when pressed, the receive magazine body 1 is connected to the adapter body 2.
When the shutter opening/closing operation section 12 is pulled up, the magazine guide 23 presses the button. Although the explanation of such a safety mechanism was omitted in the above description, a safety mechanism is often added to the implementation of the present invention for safe operation.

The adapter of the present invention may also be applied to film magazines other than receive magazines.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, by using the X film magazine adapter of the present invention, the cassetteless X
Eliminates the need to replace the film in the receive magazine used in radiographic equipment, etc. in the darkroom,
It became possible to feed film directly from the receive magazine to the automatic film developing device in a bright room.
