Abstract

PURPOSE:To suitably suppress an impact generated during scanning of a picture and during transmission thereof by a method wherein a photo beam scanning mechanism is supported to a base bed through a vibration absorbing body in which a resilient member having a high spring constant and a resilient member having a low spring constant are interconnected in series. CONSTITUTION:When, in the middle of a time when a picture reading device 20 is transported to a site in a state to be loaded on an automobile, an impact and vibration are exerted on the device 20, the impact and vibration are absorbed by vibration absorbing substances 52a - 52d located between a support bed 54 of a photo beam scanning mechanism part 40 and a support bed 54. Coil spring 82a - 82d having a low spring constant K2 are first compressed. After the lengths of the springs 82a - 82d are reduced to a lowermost value, rubber bushes 80a - 80d having a high spring constant K1 (K1 > K2) are compressed, and this compression causes absorption of a remaining impact. Vibration having relative low amplitude generated because of a person to be inspected and a worker walking in an automobile is absorbed by means of the coil springs 82a - 82d having the low coil spring constant K2. This constitution prevents transmission of vibration to the photo beams scanning mechanism 40.

However, conventional anti-vibration means are designed only for when the device is in operation, and cannot sufficiently suppress vibrations generated during transportation of the system from propagating to the surface image reading section. As a result, there is a concern that the surface image reading section may be damaged and the reading operation may be hindered. In order to avoid this, for example, a mechanism is required to fix and release the light beam scanning mechanism before and after transporting the system. In this case, there is a drawback that not only is the work for fixing or releasing it cumbersome, but the structure is also complicated.

Next, the automobile 11 arrives at the site, and the radiation surface image information recording system 12 operates as follows. That is, a subject P (hereinafter referred to as the subject) is irradiated with X-rays from the X-ray source 16a of the radiation surface image capturing section 16, and a transmitted image of the X-rays is recorded on the stimulable phosphor sheet S. In this way, the stimulable phosphor sheet S on which the X-ray transmission image has been recorded is set in the loading section 34 of the surface image reading device 20. Single leaf part 3
6 takes out the stimulable phosphor sheets S one by one from the loading section 34 and passes them through the first conveyance path 38 to the light beam scanning mechanism R.
Supply 40. The light beam scanning mechanism section 40 takes in the stimulable phosphor sheet S from the first conveyance path 38 and conveys the stimulable phosphor sheet S to a reading position by a guide plate 56 and a sub-scanning conveyance belt 58. At that time, the optical scanning mechanism 6 disposed above the sub-scanning conveyor belt 58
0 emits a laser beam 64 from a laser light source 62, and the laser beam 64 passes through a mirror 66 to a galvanometer mirror 68.
leading to. In this case, since the galvanometer mirror 68 is oscillating at high speed, the laser beam 64 is one-dimensionally reflected and deflected by the galvanometer mirror 68 at a predetermined angle, and passes through the scanning lens 69 and the reflection mirror 70 to produce stimulable fluorescence. The body sheet s will be scanned. The laser beam 64 is deflected by a predetermined angle in the scanning direction by a galvanometer mirror 68 and scans the stimulable phosphor sheet S, thereby directing or reflecting stimulated luminescence emitted from the stimulable phosphor sheet S. The light enters a light guide 74 via a mirror 72, is converted into an electrical signal by a photomultiplier 76, and is sent to a signal processing circuit 78. The signal processing circuit 78 sends the electrical signal to the surface image storage device 22 as a digital signal. In this case, the surface image storage device 22 takes in a digital signal that is surface image information from the signal processing circuit 78, and stores and records it on, for example, an optical disk.

Here, when external vibration is transmitted to the optical scanning mechanism 60, the vibration causes the galvanometer mirror 68 to
This causes blurring and prevents accurate reading operations. In contrast, in this embodiment, the light beam scanning mechanism section 40 is supported via vibration absorbers 52a to 52d having two small coil springs 82a to 82d as spring constants. In this case, vibrations with a relatively small amplitude, such as those caused by the subject P or the worker walking inside the automobile 11, are caused by coil springs 82a to 82a having a spring constant of 2, which constitute the vibration absorbers 52a to 52d. Since the light is absorbed by the light beam 82d, it is not transmitted to the light beam scanning mechanism section 40. As a result, highly accurate surface image recording that is not affected by vibrations becomes possible.

Next, the sub-scanning conveyance belt 58 conveys the stimulable phosphor sheet S after the reading has been completed to the second conveyance path 42 . Said second
The conveying path 42 conveys this stimulable phosphor sheet S to an erasing section 44, and optically erases the transmitted X-ray image recorded on the stimulable phosphor sheet S. The stimulable phosphor sheet S from which the recorded X-ray transmission image has been erased is transferred to the third transport path 46.
The images are conveyed to the tray 48, temporarily stocked on the tray 48, and used again for photographing.

As described above, in the radiation surface image information recording system 12 mounted on the automobile 11, the surface image reading device photoelectrically reads the transmitted image of X-rays recorded on the stimulable phosphor sheet S and converts it into a digital signal. The optical beam scanning mechanism section 40 constituting the optical beam scanning mechanism 20 is mounted on the bottom of the housing 32 with vibration absorbers 52a to 52.
It is installed via d. Therefore, vibrations of excessive amplitude transmitted to the surface image reading device 20 that occur while the automobile 11 is moving are absorbed by the rubber bushes 80a to 80d constituting the vibration absorbers 52a to 52d. Relatively small amplitude vibrations that occur with the transmission image reading operation are absorbed by the coil springs 82a to 82d. In other words, not only during the reading operation of an X-ray transmission image, but also when the automobile 11 is moving, the vibration damping effect of each of the plurality of elastic members having different spring constants prevents vibrations from small amplitudes to excessive amplitudes. An anti-vibration effect is achieved against vibrations. Moreover, when a vibration that causes the coil springs 82a to 82d to contract almost completely is applied, the rubber bushing 80
a to 80d further help absorb this vibration.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when installing a system, a plurality of elastic members having different spring constants are combined and arranged. An elastic member with a small spring constant acts to absorb vibrations of relatively small amplitude when the system is operating, while an elastic member with a large spring constant absorbs shocks with excessive amplitude when the system moves. effect has been achieved. Therefore, both elastic members can provide vibration isolation over a wide range of amplitudes, making it possible to absorb vibrations generated not only during operation of the system but also during transportation of the system. Furthermore, by preventing large vibrations from being transmitted to the system, it is possible to contribute to accurate information reading operations and to avoid unexpected damage to the system. Furthermore, since the elastic member according to the present invention can absorb vibrations generated not only during system operation but also during system transportation, the positioning lock of the light beam scanning mechanism can be locked every time the system is transported, unlike conventional systems. Moreover, there is no need for work such as unlocking, and the operability of the system can be improved.
