Description

The X ray computer laminagraph device
Technical field
The present invention is relevant to be possessed for obtaining the X ray computer laminagraph device of the rotating part that subject x-ray tomography image rotates.
Background technology
X ray computer laminagraph device (to call " X ray CT (ComputedTomography) device " in the following text) is according to the intensity that penetrates the X ray of subject, information as the relevant subject of image is provided, in many medical acts, plays an important role based on medical diagnosis on disease, treatment and surgical planning etc.
This X ray CT device has circular rotary substrate.This rotary substrate with its axle center be the center rotate freely ground supported, in the inboard of rotary substrate, fixed various devices such as X-ray tube, X-ray detector, device for generating high voltage.
Rotary substrate rotation, X-ray tube and X-ray detector towards variation.X ray CT device, utilize above-mentioned X-ray tube and X-ray detector towards variation, from various directions to subject photograph (for example, opening flat 8-52130 communique) with reference to the spy.
Yet, because weight such as X-ray tube, X-ray detector, device for generating high voltage are big, so the rotary substrate high speed rotating, the weights such as X-ray tube, X-ray detector, device for generating high voltage that are fixed in the matrix inboard produce very big centrifugal force, often cause the rotary substrate distortion.
If rotary substrate distortion causes that X-ray tube is provided with angular deflection, so by the angular misalignment of the X ray of X-ray tube irradiation, so X-ray detector becomes and can not correctly carry out X ray and detect.And, the dislocation of X ray circuit, the change in location of detection X ray will cause image deterioration.
Below, on one side with reference to Figure 11, be that example further describes with other examples on one side.
Figure 11 is the profile that the existing rotating part 40 of expression constitutes.As shown in figure 11, the stand of existing X ray CT device is provided with to obtaining the subject x-ray tomography image rotating part 40 of (for example more than or equal to 1 second/commentaries on classics) continuous rotation at a high speed.This rotating part 40 can remain on the framework 23 between bearing 91 with rotating freely.This rotating part 40 has been installed X-ray tube unit 41, X ray detecting unit 42, signal amplification unit 43 and other unit (not shown).Below, often these each unit are referred to as the rotating part unit.These each rotating part unit, being installed in rotating shaft N is on the cyclic flat part 48 (flat board) at center.
The outer circumference end of above-mentioned flat part 48 has formed the cylinder portion 49 of cylinder shape.Following flat part 48 and cylinder portion 49 are referred to as rotary substrate 52.Rotary substrate 52 is maintained on the framework 23 between bearing 91, and bearing 91 is by flat part 48 and 24 clampings of bearing maintaining part.
The X ray CT device that each rotating part unit is installed on cylinder portion 49 inboards is disclosed (for example, opening flat 2000-116641 communique with reference to the spy).On this rotating part 40, the unitary position of centre of gravity of each rotating part on the rotating shaft N direction of rotating part 40 is often inconsistent with the position of flat part 48.For example, X-ray tube unit 41 and X ray detecting unit 42 are configured to detect from the X-ray tube unit 41 irradiations with a double-layered quilt corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing and with the X ray detecting unit 42 of X-ray tube unit 41 relative configurations and penetrate the X ray of subject.That is to say, X-ray tube unit 41, though be for relative flat part 48 in the position of leaving rotating shaft N direction and form the penetration surface of X ray abreast and shine X ray, the center of gravity of X-ray tube unit 41 often is positioned at X ray and produces near the position.Specifically, X ray has disposed rotor (anode) and the weights such as protective lead for the leakage X ray is shielded near producing the position.Therefore, the relative flat part 48 of the center of gravity of X-ray tube unit 41 is in the position of leaving rotating shaft N direction.In addition, penetrate face side because X ray detecting unit 42 is configured in the X ray of flat part 48, so its center of gravity is the same with the center of gravity of X-ray tube unit 41, flat part 48 is in the position of departing from rotating shaft N direction relatively.In addition, other rotating part unit, for the consideration of when maintenance convenient working, flat part 48 is configured in and X-ray tube unit 41 and X ray detecting unit 42 the same side mutually relatively, so the same with X-ray tube unit 41 and X ray detecting unit 42, position of centre of gravity often misplaces.
Rotating part 40 high speed rotating, the unitary center of gravity of each rotating part is subjected to centrifugal action.For example, the centrifugal force F that acts on X-ray tube unit 41 shown in Figure 11 is exactly the one example.For example, the distance from rotating shaft N to X-ray tube unit 41 centers of gravity be 600mm and rotating speed be 0.5 second/when changeing, produce the acceleration of gravity of about 10G.In addition, the distance from rotating shaft N to X-ray tube unit 41 centers of gravity be 600mm and revolve speed be 0.4 second/when changeing, produce the acceleration of gravity of about 15G.
Yet, as mentioned above, if the location dislocation of the flat part 48 of the position of centre of gravity of X-ray tube unit 41 on the rotating shaft N direction, so during rotating part 40 high speed rotating, the component F1 that acts on the unitary centrifugal force F of each rotating part will act on the holding position of rotary substrate 52 as moment of flexure, often cause flat part 48 distortion.Same centrifugal force also acts on X ray detecting unit 42 and other rotating part unit, often causes flat part 48 distortion.As the spy open flat 2000-116641 communique described, when each rotating part unit was installed in cylinder portion 49 inboard, same flat part 48 also can produce distortion, just the deflection difference.Because this centrifugal force F causes the cause of flat part 48 distortion, so the precision of X ray penetration surface position when being difficult to guarantee high speed rotating.
Therefore, in order to carry out high-precision test by enough X ray detecting units 42, also adopt the corresponding method that increases the X ray penetration surface sometimes, but this has also increased the irradiation dose of subject simultaneously.In addition, when the deformation extent of flat part 48 is big, cause that probably the destruction of rotary substrate 52 and CT value change problems such as causing the CT image abnormity.
On the other hand, get off to observe, require to shorten photography time and wish that promptly more high speed rotating is photographed, but more high speed rotating will increase above-mentioned distortion in order to make the motion thing for example heart etc. to be static.
In addition, while also requirement can change rotating speed and photograph.Change rotating speed, centrifugal force changes, so deflection also changes along with rotation speed change.For this reason, worry that deflection variation causing CT image further produces unusual.
In addition, though the thickness that also consider to increase flat part 48 to improve intensity, rotary substrate 52 is normally made by aluminium casting, the local thickness that increases, the moving and cooling of casting liquid stream can go wrong, and for example, worries to produce internal stress, perhaps form accuracy deterioration.On the other hand, to comprising the integral body thickening of cylinder portion 49, weight increases the weight of so, also needs to make drive motors to maximize thus, thereby exists the huge problem of device.
Have again, because rotary substrate 52 reinforcement means, the operation when reducing above-mentioned maintenance sometimes.

Below, use Fig. 8 to Figure 10, describe with regard to the detailed formation of the rotating part of present embodiment.In addition, in description of the present embodiment, the platform side for sleeping in of rotating part 40 as " front ", opposition side as " back side ".Therefore, axonometric chart shown in Figure 8 is the axonometric chart of seeing from front face side, and axonometric chart shown in Figure 9 is the axonometric chart of seeing from rear side.In addition, in Fig. 8, omitted the rear side of rotating part 40.
Rotating part 40 as shown in Figure 8, is for example made by aluminium casting, and it is the cyclic flat part (flat board) 48 of rotation on every side of the subject of center in being inserted into photography mouth 5 that front face side possesses with rotating shaft N (with reference to Figure 10).And, outer circumference end at flat part 48, the cylinder portion (cylinder) 49 of formation coaxial and wideer cylinder shape with ring-type than the width (thickness of slab) of flat part 48 rotating shaft N directions, cylinder portion 49 as shown in figure 10, form to rear side from the front face side of flat part 48, its section of bonding part of flat part 48 and cylinder portion 49 is the T font.Below, flat part 48 and cylinder portion 49 are referred to as rotary substrate 52 together.
And, with the length of the rectangular rotating diameter direction of the rotating shaft N of flat part 48 (with reference to Fig. 1 0), in other words be cyclic width, have the length that X ray detecting unit 42 can be installed at least.And, the front face side of flat part 48 is used the installations such as set bolt that do not show among the figure as the unitary X-ray tube of above-mentioned rotating part unit 41, X ray detecting unit 42, signal amplification unit 43, cooling unit 44, power subsystem 4546 and power control unit 47.In addition, the width of the rotating shaft N direction of the cylinder of cylinder portion 49 is not advisable from the width that cylinder portion 49 cylinders bloat in rotating shaft N direction with above-mentioned each unit that is installed on the flat part 48.In addition, X-ray tube unit 41 is configured to flat part 48 relatively in the position of leaving rotating shaft N direction and form the penetration surface of X ray abreast.Have again, as described in (background technology),, produce near the position so the center of gravity of X-ray tube unit 41 often is positioned at X ray owing to disposed rotor (anode) and weights such as protective lead near the X ray generator for the leakage X ray is shielded.That is to say that in the present embodiment, the relative flat part 48 of the center of gravity of X-ray tube unit 41 also is in rotating shaft N direction and leaves the position that X ray penetrates face side.
In addition, as Fig. 9, shown in Figure 10, on rotary substrate 52, the rear side of flat part 48 has been installed strenthening member 25, and constitutes dual structures jointly with rotary substrate 52.Strenthening member 25 is for example made by aluminium casting, in the present embodiment, as an example for to have same ring-type and to have L font section with flat part 48.In addition, the length of the rotating diameter direction of strenthening member 25 has the length length much at one with the rotating diameter direction of flat part 48.And, strenthening member 25, the set bolt that does not show among the use figure near a plurality of installation portions 101 of the position the outer circumference end of rotary substrate 52 etc. is bonded on cylinder portion 49 from rear side, in addition, as shown in Figure 8, use near a plurality of installation portions 102 of the position the interior Zhou Duan of rotary substrate 52 set bolt that do not show among the figure etc. from the front side engagement at flat part 48.In addition, has blank part 26 between strenthening member 25 and the flat part 48.Like this, because strenthening member 25 can be installed,, increased intensity to the bending of rotating shaft N direction so become big with the rectangular section second moment of rotor shaft direction.In addition, owing to form blank part 26, reduced the increase of weight, and compared with only installing along flat part 48, it is big that the section second moment becomes, and further increased intensity.
