JP 2006-051403 A

In an X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus such as Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-051403, the top plate mechanism is arranged near one end in the longitudinal direction of the top plate. For this reason, it is preferable that a guide mechanism for guiding the rotation of the top plate is provided in order to stably rotate the entire rectangular top plate. As such a guide mechanism, a mechanism in which a guide member in contact with only the surface for guiding the top plate is provided so as not to interfere with the guide of the top plate. However, such a guide mechanism allows a swinging operation other than rotation between the guide member and the top plate because the guide member is not in contact with a surface other than the surface that guides the top plate. Therefore, when the top plate is fixed at a predetermined rotation position by the top plate mechanism, rattling (shake) other than the rotation direction may occur. For this reason, it is considered that there is a problem that the positional accuracy of the subject placed on the top plate is lowered.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and one object of the present invention has a configuration for guiding the rotation of the top plate with respect to the operation axis along the longitudinal direction of the top plate. To provide an X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus capable of suppressing a decrease in positional accuracy of a subject placed on a top plate due to suppression of rattling in the case. It is.

In order to achieve the above object, an X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention provides a top plate on which a subject is placed, X-rays that irradiate the subject with X-rays and pass through the subject. An imaging unit that detects and performs X-ray fluoroscopy or X-ray imaging, a drive source, and a drive transmission member, and rotates the top plate with respect to an operation axis along the top plate longitudinal direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the top plate. A drive mechanism capable of moving the relative position between the top plate and the imaging unit, and a drive mechanism provided separately from the drive mechanism, including a guide member for guiding the rotation of the top plate, and a guide surface in contact with the guide member. At least one holding member provided below the plate is in contact with each of the one side surface and the other side surface in the top plate longitudinal direction of the single holding member with the holding member sandwiched in the top plate longitudinal direction.

As a result, in the case of having a configuration for guiding the rotation of the top plate with respect to the operation axis along the longitudinal direction of the top plate, the top plate is placed on the top plate due to suppressing the backlash from occurring on the top plate. It can suppress that the positional accuracy of a subject falls. In addition, by providing a steady member on each of the one side surface and the other side surface in the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the single holding member, compared with the case where the steady member is provided on each of the plurality of holding members. Thus, the positioning of the plurality of steadying members can be performed on the basis of only a single holding member.

As a result, it is possible to further improve the effect of suppressing rattling of the top plate by providing two each in the lateral direction of the top plate. The vicinity of one end and the vicinity of the other end of the holding member in the short direction of the top plate means the positions of the one end and the other end of the holding member in the short direction of the top plate and the short direction of the top plate of the holding member. It includes both the meaning of the vicinity of the position of one end and the vicinity of the position of the other end.

guide bearings

41 and 42 are configured such that the guide groove 31 does not contact the bottom surface 31c of the guide groove 31 (that is, there is a gap in the horizontal direction). As a result, the arc-shaped holding member 21 (and thus the top plate 1) is likely to be rattled in the horizontal direction. Further, since the

guide bearings

43 and 44 are configured so as not to contact the bottom surface 32c of the guide groove 32 (that is, there is a gap in the horizontal direction) in the guide groove 32, the arc-shaped holding is maintained. The member 22 (and thus the top plate 1) is likely to be swayed in the horizontal direction.

However, in the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the plurality of steady bearings 50 (51, 52, 53, 54) are provided on one side 21a and the other side in the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the arc-shaped holding member 21. Two of each surface 21b are provided in contact with each other so as to sandwich the arc-shaped holding member 21 in the longitudinal direction of the top plate. Therefore, the horizontal shake operation other than the rotation of the top plate 1 is suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the top plate 1 is rotated counterclockwise until the guide bearing 40 on the other side (Y1 side) in the lateral direction of the top plate contacts the surface 31e on the Y1 side of the guide groove 30. Can be rotated. In this state, the Y1 side steady rest bearing 50 is located in the vicinity of the end portion on the Y1 side on the one side (X2 side) or the other side (X1 side) of the arc-shaped holding member 20.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, the top plate 1 is watched until the guide bearing 40 on one side (Y2 side) in the short side direction of the top plate is in contact with the surface 31d on the Y2 side of the guide groove 30. Can rotate around. In this state, the Y2 side steady rest bearing 50 is located in the vicinity of the end portion on the Y2 side on the surface on one side (X2 side) or the other side (X1 side) of the arc-shaped holding member 20.

In other words, the two steady rest bearings 50 provided so as to be arranged in the top plate short direction (Y-axis direction) are arranged in the arc-shaped holding member 20 as far as possible in the top plate short direction. ing. Therefore, compared with the case where the two steady rest bearings 50 are not relatively separated from each other, it is possible to suppress the operation of the top plate 1 turning in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the effect of suppressing the occurrence of horizontal play in the top plate 1 is further improved.

(Effect of this embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus 100 includes the

bearing rolling surfaces

31 a and 32 a that are in contact with the guide bearings 40 (41, 42, 43, and 44) that guide the rotation of the top plate 1. And two arc-shaped holding

members

21 and 22 provided below the top plate 1 (Z2 side), and one side (X2 side) surface of the arc-shaped holding member 21 in the top plate longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) At least one arc-shaped holding member 21 is sandwiched and abutted on each of the surface 21b and the other side (X1 side) 21b in the longitudinal direction of the top plate, and the horizontal direction other than the rotation of the top plate 1 A plurality of steady bearings 50 (51, 52, 53, 54) that suppress the swinging motion of Thus, the guide bearing 40 guides the rotation of the top plate 1 while being in contact with the

bearing rolling surfaces

31a, 32a of the arc-shaped holding member 20 (21, 22), and the arc-shaped holding member 20 is in the longitudinal direction of the top plate. It is possible to suppress a horizontal shake operation other than the rotation of the top plate 1 while being in contact with the steady bearing 50 so as to be sandwiched between the two. As a result, in the case of having a configuration for guiding the rotation of the top plate 1 with respect to the operation axis A along the longitudinal direction of the top plate 1, the top plate 1 is caused by suppressing occurrence of rattling in the top plate 1. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the positional accuracy of the subject P placed on the. Further, by providing a steady bearing 50 on each of one surface 21a and the other surface 21b in the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the single arc-shaped holding member 21, a plurality of arc-shaped holding members 20 (21, 21) are provided. Compared with the case where each of the anti-rest bearings 50 is provided in 22), the positioning of the plurality of anti-rest bearings 50 can be performed with reference to only the single arc-shaped holding member 20 (21). As a result, even when the rotation position of the top plate 1 is changed, the steady-state bearing 50 can be easily maintained in a state where the arc-shaped holding member 20 is held in contact with the top plate in the longitudinal direction. It is possible to easily suppress the horizontal deflection operation other than the rotation of the plate 1.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the guide bearings 40 (41, 42, 43, 44) are arranged so as to rotate the bearings of the arc-shaped holding members 20 (21, 22) when the top plate 1 rotates. It includes guide bearing

outer rings

41a, 42a, 43a, 44a that guide the rotation of the top plate 1 by rotating in contact with the moving

surfaces

31a, 32a. Thereby, when the top plate 1 rotates, the frictional resistance between the bearing 40 for guide and the arc-shaped holding member 20 on the

bearing rolling surfaces

31a and 32a can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to efficiently guide the rotation of the top plate 1 with respect to the operation axis A along the top plate longitudinal direction (X-axis direction).

In the present embodiment, as described above, the arc-shaped holding member 20 includes the arc-shaped holding member 21 and the arc-shaped holding member 22 that are separated from each other in the top plate longitudinal direction (X-axis direction). The steady rest bearings 50 (51, 52, 53, 54) are provided so as to sandwich and contact only the arc-shaped holding member 21. Thereby, since the rotation of the top plate 1 can be guided at a plurality of positions separated in the longitudinal direction of the top plate, the rotation of the top plate 1 is compared with the case where only one arc-shaped holding member 20 is guided. Thus, the rotation of the top plate 1 can be stably guided. As a result, while the rotation of the top plate 1 is stably guided, even when the rotation position of the top plate 1 changes, the steady-state bearing 50 can easily hold the holding member in the longitudinal direction of the top plate. Can be maintained.

As a result, the steady-state bearing 50 is disposed at a position close to the position where the motor 11 and the sector gear 12 are disposed as the center of the moment that causes horizontal rattling, so that the steady-state bearing 50 sandwiches the arc-shaped holding. In the member 21, the moment generated in the arc-shaped holding member 21 can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in the load generated in the arc-shaped holding member 20 and the steady-rest bearing 50 that sandwiches the arc-shaped holding member 20.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the steady bearing 50 is provided so as to contact the arc-shaped holding member 20 over the entire rotation range of the top plate 1. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the backlash of the top plate 1 from occurring over the entire rotation range of the top plate 1.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the steady bearing 50 includes the one side (X2 side) surface 21a and the other side (X1 side) of the arc-shaped holding member 20 in the top plate longitudinal direction (X-axis direction). Two are provided on each of the surfaces 21b so as to be aligned in the short side direction (Y-axis direction) which is the short side direction of the top plate 1. Thereby, compared with the case where one steadying bearing 50 is provided on each of the one side surface and the other side surface in the longitudinal direction of the top plate, it is possible to effectively prevent the top plate 1 from rattling. Can be suppressed.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the two steady rest bearings 50 provided so as to be arranged in the top plate short direction (Y-axis direction) are each the top plate short side in the arc-shaped holding member 20. It is provided so as to be located in the vicinity of one end (Y2 side) and the other end (Y1 side) in the direction. Thereby, in the arc-shaped holding member 20, the steady rest bearing 50 can be arrange | positioned in the position as far away as possible in the top plate short direction. As a result, it is possible to further improve the effect of suppressing the backlash of the top plate 1 by providing two each in the widthwise direction of the top plate.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the anti-spinning bearing 50 (51, 52, 53, 54) is the anti-spinning bearing outer ring 51a that can rotate in a plane substantially orthogonal to the plane on which the top plate 1 rotates. , 52a, 53a, 54a, and the anti-rest bearing

outer rings

51a, 52a, 53a, 54a are arranged so that the outer peripheral surfaces of the anti-rest bearing

outer rings

51a, 52a, 53a, 54a are in the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the arc-shaped holding member 21 (X axis). In the state where the top plate 1 is in contact with the surface 21a on one side (X2 side) or the surface 21b on the other side (X1 side) in the direction), the top plate 1 is configured to rotate. As a result, when the top plate 1 rotates, the steady bearing

outer rings

51a, 52a, 53a, 54a and the arc shape on the surface of the arc-shaped holding member 21 on which the steady bearing

outer rings

51a, 52a, 53a, 54a abut. The frictional resistance with the holding member 21 can be reduced. As a result, the steady-state bearing 50 (51, 52, 53, 54) contacts the arc-shaped holding member 21 without interfering with the rotation of the top plate 1 with respect to the operation axis A along the top plate longitudinal direction. The maintained state can be easily maintained.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the steady bearing 50 (51, 52, 53, 54) includes the inner ring and the inner ring arranged on the rotation shaft side of the steady bearing

outer rings

51a, 52a, 53a, 54a. The anti-rest bearing

outer rings

51a, 52a, 53a, 54a are constituted by the outer ring of the anti-rest bearing 50 (51, 52, 53, 54). Thereby, the frictional resistance between the steady bearing

outer rings

51a, 52a, 53a, 54a and the arc-shaped holding member 21 can be further reduced by using a bearing capable of smoothly rotating the inner ring and the outer ring relatively. .
