Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile X-ray apparatus in which an X-ray apparatus is mounted on a mobile trolley. In particular, X-ray irradiation can be easily confirmed, and X-ray irradiation can be remotely controlled from various positions. The present invention relates to a mobile X-ray apparatus that can be used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional mobile X-ray apparatuses include stationary X-ray apparatuses.
Since there is no X-ray irradiation indicator like a X-ray device, X-ray irradiation can be confirmed by the vibration of an instrument (KV meter) that measures the voltage applied to the X-ray tube device, or the sound generated when X-rays are generated. Was.

[0003]

However, since the operator has to check the X-ray irradiation at a place away from the KV meter because of the X-ray exposure, the operator may not be able to see it. There is a problem that X-ray irradiation may not be confirmed.

In addition, when the X-ray radiation is confirmed by sound, there is a problem that it is difficult to hear the X-ray irradiation because it is difficult to hear when the area around the place where the X-ray photography is performed is busy. In addition, when an operator performs X-ray irradiation using a switch using a remote control such as an infrared ray, it is difficult to provide an infrared ray receiving section that receives infrared rays generated from various positions at an appropriate position. There was a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve at least one of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile X-ray apparatus capable of reliably confirming X-ray irradiation and remotely controlling the apparatus from various positions. Is to provide.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an arm for supporting an X-ray tube device for irradiating X-rays, and a column for supporting the arm so as to be movable in a height direction from a floor surface and in a horizontal direction. And a housing accommodating a power supply for supplying power to the X-ray tube device and a control unit for controlling the power supply, and a connecting part for connecting and fixing the arm and the housing during traveling. In the mobile X-ray apparatus mounted on the mobile terminal, the connecting portion is formed in a convex shape on the upper surface of the housing and arranged, and the connecting portion receives a large number of X-ray radiation signals emitted from a remote control operating device. The present invention is achieved by a mobile X-ray apparatus including a receiver capable of receiving signals from different directions and an X-ray emission indicator that is visible from multiple directions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a mobile X-ray apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing a configuration of a mobile X-ray apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view showing a state at the time of X-ray imaging in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a post part in FIG.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the post part of FIG.

The mobile X-ray device has a step-like shape at a high position and a low position in the height direction from the floor on which the device is placed, and a power supply device (not shown) for supplying the X-ray tube device 4 and an arm portion. 3, an X-ray apparatus (housing) 1 that houses a control unit (not shown) for controlling the power supply apparatus, a column 2 that stands upright at a low position of the X-ray apparatus 1, and a column 2 and a floor. An arm unit 3 provided to be movable in the height direction and the horizontal direction, an X-ray tube device 4 suspended and supported by the arm unit 3,
A diaphragm device 5 attached in the X-ray irradiation direction of the X-ray tube device 4
A mounting base 6 provided in the middle of the arm unit 3 in the height direction,
A guide pin 7 provided at a lower portion of the mount 6, a catch hole 8 provided on a side surface of the guide pin 7, a post portion (connecting portion) 9 provided on an upper surface of a high position of the X-ray apparatus 1, and a side surface of the post portion 9 And a light source 11 provided inside the post part 9 and an infrared remote switch receiving part provided on a side surface of the post part 9 except for the guide hole and X-ray irradiation display light 10 12 and a traveling catch mechanism 13 provided inside the post portion 9.

As shown in FIG. 1, an arm 3 and a mounting table 6 protruding are fixed on the upper part of a prism (which may be a cylinder) protruding from the upper surface of the X-ray apparatus 1 mounted on the movable trolley. A guide hole and X-ray irradiation indicator light 10 for inserting the guide pin 7 is fixed, and the guide pin 7 is further moved through the catch hole 8 at the tip of the guide pin 7 by the traveling catch mechanism 13 below the post portion 9. It is held through. The release is also released by magnet release switches, not shown, provided near the arm 3 and near the X-ray tube device 4, respectively.

The guide hole / X-ray irradiation indicator lamp 10 is formed into a case with a resin having good light transmittance, and one or a plurality of light sources 11 are mounted in the case.
A plurality of infrared remote switch receivers 12 for receiving signals from a remote X-ray irradiation switch 14 of an infrared type are attached to the post 9 below the guide hole / X-ray irradiation indicator 10.

Then, after preparation for X-ray photography is completed, as shown in FIG. 2, the operator pushes the infrared remote switch transmitting unit 14 from a far position to emit infrared light, and the infrared light is transmitted to the infrared remote switch. The power supply device that the switch receiving unit 12 receives and supplies to the X-ray tube device 4 is turned on, and the subject 16 lying on the bed 15 is irradiated with X-rays from the X-ray tube device 4. It should be noted that the infrared ray is detected only at a specific frequency, and the infrared ray generated by the operator or the subject is different from the specific frequency, so that there is no malfunction.

With this series of remote controls, X
When the X-ray irradiation is performed, the guide hole / X-ray irradiation display lamp 10 is turned on, and the operator can surely confirm that the X-ray irradiation has been performed. According to the embodiment described above, the operator can confirm the X-ray irradiation by illuminating the light source 11 and illuminating the guide hole / X-ray irradiation lamp 10 at the time of X-ray irradiation.

Further, the operator emits infrared rays from the infrared remote switch transmitting section 14, and the infrared remote switch receiving section 12 receives the infrared rays, so that X-ray irradiation of the X-ray tube device 4 can be remotely controlled. Further, the X-ray irradiation indicator lamp is newly mounted at a position where the operator can view the X-ray irradiation indicator from all directions by using the fixing post 9 during the traveling of the mobile X-ray apparatus. Further, the receiving section of the remote infrared ray irradiation switch can be provided at an optimum position in both height and direction.
