- the sub input unit 103 and the instruction signal switching unit 104 in the top plate moving unit 10b, when the top plate moving unit 10b is separated from the device main body having the input unit 11, or the power supply system of the device main body. Even when trouble occurs, the operation of the top board moving unit 10b is confirmed using the instruction signal supplied from the sub input unit 103 and the regenerative power supplied from the secondary battery 153 of the charging / discharging unit 15. Can do.
- the regenerative power generated when the top plate moving motor is decelerated can be effectively used by charging and discharging. .
- the top plate moving motor is used by using the regenerative power accumulated in the top plate moving unit.
- the subject placed on the top board can be retreated to a safe position.
- the use of regenerative power stored in the secondary battery of the top plate moving unit makes it easy to confirm and check the operation of the top plate moving unit alone.
- the burden on the user can be reduced.
- the top board moving unit switches between a sub input unit capable of inputting various instruction signals, an instruction signal supplied from an input unit of the apparatus body provided separately, and an instruction signal supplied from the sub input unit.
- the regenerative power stored in the secondary battery of the top plate moving unit is supplied from the main power source by using it as driving power for the top plate moving motor or standby power for operating the top plate movement control unit or the like.
- the power can be reduced and the power consumption of the apparatus can be reduced.
- the heat dissipation structure in the top plate moving unit or the like can be simplified. Furthermore, since it is possible to increase the operating frequency of the motor for moving the top plate, for example, a shuttle helical scan that performs imaging while repeating the reciprocating movement of the top plate can be easily performed.
- the regenerative power for the secondary battery can be reduced by bringing the switching unit provided in the charging / discharging unit into a conductive state during a period when the regenerative power is generated or during a period when the power supply voltage supplied from the power source is a predetermined value or less. Charging and discharging can be performed efficiently.
- the switching unit provided in the charging / discharging unit is turned on during the period in which the regenerative power is generated or the power supply voltage supplied from the power source becomes a predetermined value or less has been described. Is not necessarily required. For example, by directly connecting the input terminal of the DC / AC conversion unit and the step-up / step-down unit, regenerative power for compensating the power supply voltage is automatically supplied from the secondary battery through the step-up / down unit.
- the top plate movement control unit that generates the movement control signal based on the instruction signal from the system control unit is provided inside the top plate movement unit.
- the movement control unit may be provided outside the top plate moving unit.
- the system control unit may have the function of the top board movement control unit.
- the sub input unit capable of inputting various instruction signals and the top plate moving unit having the instruction signal switching unit for switching the instruction signals have been described. May have an interface that enables connection to a PC (personal computer). By connecting to a PC, more detailed operation confirmation and performance evaluation are possible.
