[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a radiographic image capturing apparatus and a cable unit for a radiographic image capturing apparatus according to the first embodiment.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the radiographic imaging device 1 (hereinafter referred to as the imaging device 1) is a portable panel-shaped radiographic imaging device. The imaging device 1 has a plurality of detection elements arranged two-dimensionally on a board. In the imaging device 1, radiation that has passed through the subject is irradiated onto a phosphor (scintillator), and visible light that is emitted in accordance with the amount of irradiated radiation is converted into electric charges by the detection elements and stored in a capacitor. The imaging device 1 then obtains a radiographic image by reading out the electric charges stored in the capacitor. The imaging device 1 has a power switch 11, an operation switch 12, an indicator 13, and a connector 14 on the outer surface of a housing 10.

[0012] The cable unit 2 for a radiographic imaging device (hereinafter referred to as the cable unit 2) is a cable unit for performing data communication by wired connection to a console (not shown) or the like and receiving power supply from the console.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the cable unit 2 includes a unit main body (main body) 21 and a switching member 22. The unit main body 21 includes a plug terminal 211, a cable 212, and a housing 213. The plug terminal 211 is a plug terminal for connecting to the connector 14 provided on the imaging device 1. The cable 212 is a flexible cable attached to the plug terminal 211 and used for wired connection to the console or the like for data communication and for receiving power from the console. The housing 213 is a housing (casing) for holding the plug terminal 211. The housing 213 is formed in a box shape with an external shape that is approximately a rectangular parallelepiped. The unit main body 21 has the plug terminal 211 provided on one surface of the housing 213 and a flexible cable 212 provided on the surface opposite to the one surface.

[0014] The switching member 22 is formed in a box shape with an open side that is attached to the unit body 21. The switching member 22 has a cable outlet 22a for discharging the cable 212 on one side different from the above side. The switching member 22 is made of a metal material and has shielding properties. The switching member 22 may be made of a resin material and coated with a conductive coating to have shielding properties. The method of attaching the switching member 22 to the unit body 21 is not particularly limited. For example, the switching member 22 may be attached to the unit body 21 by engaging a locking portion (not shown) provided on the switching member 22 with a locked portion (not shown) provided on the unit body 21. Alternatively, the switching member 22 may be attached to the unit body 21 by screwing.

[0015] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the cable unit 2 when the extension direction of the cable 212 is set downward. As shown in FIG. 2, when the extension direction of the cable 212 is set downward, the cable 212 is bent downward before the switching member 22 is attached to the unit main body 21. Then, the switching member 22 is attached to the unit main body 21 with the cable outlet 22a facing downward and the cable 212 being discharged from the cable outlet 22a. In this way, with the cable unit 2, the plug terminal 211 is connected to the connector 14 (see FIG. 1) provided on the outer surface of the housing 10 of the photographing device 1, so that connection can be made without narrowing the photographable area of ​​the photographing device 1. Furthermore, with the cable unit 2, the extension direction of the cable 212 can be set downward for use.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the cable unit 2 when the extension direction of the cable 212 is set to be upward. As shown in FIG. 3, when the extension direction of the cable 212 is set to be upward, the cable 212 is bent upward before the switching member 22 is attached to the unit main body 21. Then, the switching member 22 is attached to the unit main body 21 with the cable outlet 22a facing upward and the cable 212 being discharged from the cable outlet 22a. In this way, with the cable unit 2, the plug terminal 211 is connected to the connector 14 (see FIG. 1) provided on the outer surface of the housing 10 of the photographing device 1, so that connection can be made without narrowing the photographable area of ​​the photographing device 1. Furthermore, with the cable unit 2, the extension direction of the cable 212 can be set to be upward when used.

[0017] If switching member 22 has shielding properties as described above, the flexibility of the portion of cable 212 covered by switching member 22 may be improved, for example, by omitting the shield coating. Also, the flexibility of the portion of cable 212 covered by switching member 22 may be improved by thinning the internal cable wiring portion. In such a case, since thinning the internal cable wiring portion may cause it to break, a holding portion may be provided inside switching member 22, and this holding portion may hold cable 212 so as not to move.

[0018] Next, a cable unit 2A according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 4 to 6. Figs. 4 and 5 are perspective views showing the appearance of the cable unit 2A. Fig. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the cable unit 2A. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted.

[0019] 4 and 5, the cable unit 2A of the second embodiment is characterized in that it does not have a switching member 22, unlike the cable unit 2 of the first embodiment. In other words, the cable unit 2A of the second embodiment is characterized in that it is composed only of a unit main body 21. Specifically, the unit main body 21 includes a plug terminal 211, a cable 212, and a housing 214.

[0020] 6, the housing 214 includes a first housing member 214a, a second housing member 214b, and a cover 214c. The first housing member 214a and the second housing member 214b are each formed in a box shape with an opening on the opposing surface side. The housing 214 is formed by adjusting the first housing member 214a and the second housing member 214b so that the opposing surfaces mate and joining them by screwing or the like.

[0021] The first housing member 214a has a rectangular notch 214a2 formed in a side surface 214a1 that mates with the side surface 214b1 of the second housing member 214b when joined to the second housing member 214b. Meanwhile, the second housing member 214b has a rectangular notch 214b2 formed in the side surface 214b1. Therefore, when the first housing member 214a and the second housing member 214b are joined to form the housing 214, these notches 214a2 and 214b2 mate to form an opening 214d (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The plug terminal 211 is exposed through this opening 214d.

[0022] Furthermore, the first housing member 214a has a semicircular notch 214a4 formed in a side surface 214a3 that mates with the side surface 214b3 of the second housing member 214b when the first housing member 214a is joined to the second housing member 214b. Meanwhile, the second housing member 214b has a semicircular notch 214b4 formed in the side surface 214b3. Therefore, when the first housing member 214a and the second housing member 214b are joined to form the housing 214, these notches 214a4 and 214b4 mate to form an opening 214e (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The cable 212 can be discharged through this opening 214e. In other words, the opening 214e functions as a cable outlet for discharging the cable 212.

[0023] Furthermore, the first housing member 214a has a semicircular notch (not shown) formed in a side surface (not shown) that mates with the side surface 214b5 of the second housing member 214b when joined to the second housing member 214b. Meanwhile, the second housing member 214b has a semicircular notch 214b6 formed in the side surface 214b5. Therefore, when the first housing member 214a and the second housing member 214b are joined to form the housing 214, these notches mate to form an opening (not shown) on the surface opposite to the surface on which the opening 214e is formed. The cable 212 can also be discharged through this opening (see FIG. 5). In other words, this opening (not shown) functions as a cable outlet for discharging the cable 212. Furthermore, the cable unit 2A of the second embodiment can be said to have this opening and the opening 214e on the side surface of the housing 214. In other words, it can be said that the cable unit 2A of the second embodiment has a plurality of cable outlets on the side surface of the housing 214.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 6, cable 212 is connected to plug terminal 211 and is sandwiched together with plug terminal 211 between first housing member 214a and second housing member 214b. When cable 212 is to be discharged from opening 214e, as shown in Fig. 4, first housing member 214a and second housing member 214b are joined together with cable 212 sandwiched between notch 214a4 of first housing member 214a and notch 214b4 of second housing member 214b. In this case, foreign matter is prevented from entering the housing 214 by attaching the above-mentioned cover 214c to an opening (not shown) provided on the surface of housing 214 opposite to the surface on which opening 214e is provided. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the cable 212 is to be discharged from an opening (not shown) provided on the surface of the housing 214 opposite to the surface on which the opening 214e is provided, the first housing member 214a and the second housing member 214b are joined together with the cable 212 sandwiched between the notch (not shown) of the first housing member 214a and the notch 214b6 of the second housing member 214b. In such a case, the above-described cover 214c is attached to the opening 214 to prevent foreign matter from entering the housing 214. As described above, according to the cable unit 2A of the second embodiment, the plug terminal 211 exposed from the opening 214d of the housing 214 is connected to the connector 14 (see FIG. 1) provided on the outer surface of the casing 10 of the image capturing device 1. This allows connection without narrowing the image capturing area of ​​the image capturing device 1. Furthermore, according to the cable unit 2A, the housing 214 is provided with openings at two predetermined locations through which the cable 212 can be discharged, and therefore the extending direction of the cable 212 can be switched between an upward state (see FIG. 5) and a downward state (see FIG. 4). Furthermore, according to the cable unit 2A, the switching member 22 included in the cable unit 2 of the first embodiment is not required, and therefore the volume of the cable unit 2A can be reduced.

[0025] In the cable unit 2A of embodiment 2, there is a risk that the wiring of the cable 212 may break due to repeated deformation at the connection portion with the plug terminal 211. For this reason, a fixing means for fixing the cable 212 may be provided inside the housing 214. This is to prevent the cable 212 from moving inside the housing 214. Examples of the fixing means include a means for fixing the cable 212 to the housing 214 by fastening with a band, or a means for fixing the cable 212 to the housing 214 with a fitting member.

[0026] Next, a cable unit 2B according to a first modification of the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the cable unit 2B when the extension direction of the first cable 215 and the second cable 216 is set downward. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the cable unit 2B when the extension direction of the first cable 215 and the second cable 216 is set upward. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted.

[0027] 7 and 8, in the cable unit 2B of the first modification of the first embodiment, a cable for performing data communication and receiving a power supply is composed of a first cable 215 and a second cable 216. One end of the first cable 215 is attached to the unit main body (main body) 21, and the other end is attached to a connector 221. The connector 221 is provided on a predetermined side surface of the switching member 22 adjacent to the side surface that is attached to the unit main body 21. One end of the second cable 216 is attached to a connector 217, and the other end is attached to a connector (not shown) for relaying with a connector (not shown) provided on a console or the like. The connector 217 is capable of relaying with the connector 221 provided on the switching member 22.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 7 , when the first cable 215 and the second cable 216 are to be extended downward, the switching member 22 is attached to the unit body 21 with the connector 221 facing downward. The connector 221 is then connected to the connector 217 attached to one end of the second cable 216. Thus, with the cable unit 2B, the plug terminal 211 is connected to the connector 14 (see FIG. 1 ) provided on the outer surface of the housing 10 of the imaging device 1, allowing connection without narrowing the imaging area of ​​the imaging device 1. Furthermore, with the cable unit 2B, the first cable 215 and the second cable 216 can be used with their extensions facing downward. Furthermore, with the cable unit 2B, when routing the cable from a console or the like to the imaging stand housing the imaging device 1, only the second cable 216 is required, making it easy to pass through narrow gaps. This reduces the workload of the installation work.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 8 , when the first cable 215 and the second cable 216 are to be extended upward, the switching member 22 is attached to the unit body 21 with the connector 221 facing upward. The connector 221 is then connected to the connector 217 attached to one end of the second cable 216. Thus, with the cable unit 2B, the plug terminal 211 is connected to the connector 14 (see FIG. 1 ) provided on the outer surface of the housing 10 of the imaging device 1, allowing connection without narrowing the imaging area of ​​the imaging device 1. Furthermore, with the cable unit 2B, the first cable 215 and the second cable 216 can be used with their extension directions facing upward. Furthermore, with the cable unit 2B, when routing the cable from a console or the like to the imaging stand housing the imaging device 1, only the second cable 216 is required, allowing it to be easily routed through narrow gaps. This reduces the workload of the installation work.

[0030] Next, a cable unit 2C according to a second modification of the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the cable unit 2C when the extension directions of the first cable 215, the branch cable 218, and the second cable 216 are downward. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the cable unit 2C when the extension directions of the first cable 215, the branch cable 218, and the second cable 216 are upward. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment or the first modification are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted.

[0031] 9 and 10, in a cable unit 2C of Modification 2 of Embodiment 1, a cable for performing data communication and receiving a power supply is made up of a first cable 215, branch cables 218 branching from the first cable 215, and second cables 216. One end of the first cable 215 is attached to the unit main body (main body) 21, and the other end is connected to each of the branch cables 218. Each of the branch cables 218 has an end attached to a connector 221 on the opposite side to the end connected to the first cable 215. Each of the connectors 221 is provided on a predetermined side surface (for example, the top surface or the bottom surface) of the switching member 22 adjacent to the side surface attached to the unit main body 21.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 9 , when the first cable 215, the branch cable 218, and the second cable 216 are to be directed downward, the connector 221 provided on the underside of the switching member 22 is connected to the connector 217 attached to one end of the second cable 216. At this time, it is preferable to cover the connector 221 (non-connection connector) provided on the upper side of the switching member 22 with a cap or the like. Thus, with the cable unit 2C, the plug terminal 211 is connected to the connector 14 (see FIG. 1 ) provided on the outer surface of the housing 10 of the imaging device 1, so that connection can be made without narrowing the imaging area of ​​the imaging device 1. Furthermore, with the cable unit 2C, the first cable 215, the branch cable 218, and the second cable 216 can be used with their directions of extension downward. Furthermore, with the cable unit 2C, when routing cables from a console or the like to an imaging stand housing the imaging device 1, only the second cable 216 can be routed, so that they can be easily routed through narrow gaps. As a result, the installation workload can be reduced. Furthermore, according to the cable unit 2C, when switching the extension directions of the first cable 215, the branch cable 218, and the second cable 216, it is possible to eliminate the need to remove and attach the switching member 22 from the unit body 21.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 10 , when the first cable 215, the branch cable 218, and the second cable 216 are to be extended upward, the connector 221 provided on the upper surface of the switching member 22 is connected to the connector 217 attached to one end of the second cable 216. At this time, it is preferable to cover the connector 221 (non-connection connector) provided on the lower surface of the switching member 22 with a cap or the like. As described above, according to the cable unit 2C, the plug terminal 211 is connected to the connector 14 (see FIG. 1 ) provided on the outer surface of the housing 10 of the imaging device 1, so that connection can be made without narrowing the imaging area of ​​the imaging device 1. Furthermore, according to the cable unit 2C, the first cable 215, the branch cable 218, and the second cable 216 can be used with their extension directions extended upward. Furthermore, according to the cable unit 2C, when cables are routed from a console or the like to an imaging stand housing the imaging device 1, only the second cable 216 is routed, so that they can be easily passed through narrow gaps. As a result, the burden of installation work can be reduced. Furthermore, according to cable unit 2C, when switching the extension directions of first cable 215, branch cable 218, and second cable 216, it is possible to save the effort of removing and attaching switching member 22 to and from unit main body 21.

[0034] Next, a cable unit 2D of embodiment 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 11 and Fig. 12. Fig. 11 is a plan view showing the appearance of the cable unit 2D. Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross section of the cable unit 2D. Note that components similar to those of embodiment 1 are given the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted.

[0035] 11 and 12, the cable unit 2D includes a unit main body 21 and a switching member 22. The unit main body 21 is formed in a box shape with an external shape that is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. The unit main body 21 has a plug terminal 211 provided on one surface, and a flexible cable 212 provided on the surface opposite the one surface.

[0036] The switching member 22 includes a base 22A and a rotating portion 22B. The base 22A is connected to the surface of the unit body 21 on which the cable 212 is provided. The rotating portion 22B is rotatably supported around a rotating shaft (not shown) provided on the base 22A. Here, the dashed-dotted line PV shown in FIG. 12 represents the axis of the rotating shaft. The rotating portion 22B is formed of a hollow member, and the cable 212 extending from the unit body 21 can be inserted therethrough. In the cable unit 2D configured as described above, when the rotating portion 22B is rotated clockwise on the paper surface of FIG. 11, the extending direction of the cable 212 can be switched to a downward direction. On the other hand, when the rotating portion 22B is rotated counterclockwise on the paper surface of FIG. 11, the extending direction of the cable 212 can be switched to an upward direction.

[0037] 13, cable unit 2D may be provided with a restricting portion that restricts the rotation of rotating portion 22B when cable 212 extends upward, downward, or to the right. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, rotating portion 22B has protrusions 222 at predetermined positions on its upper surface. As shown in FIG. 13, base 22A has recesses 223 that can fit with protrusions 222 at the 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 6 o'clock positions on the clock face in a plan view. Thus, for example, when cable 212 extends to the right, protrusions 222 on rotating portion 22B fit into recesses 223 on base 22A at the 3 o'clock position, restricting the rotation of rotating portion 22B.

[0038] Although the present invention has been specifically described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be modified within the scope of the invention. 13 and 14 have been described with reference to a restricting portion that restricts the rotation of the rotating portion 22B, but this restricting portion is merely one example. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, magnets 224 are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating portion 22B. Furthermore, the housing 213 of the unit main body 21 is provided with a ferromagnetic metal member 219 such as iron at a position that will come into contact with the magnet 224 (the magnet 224 provided on the upper surface of the rotating portion 22B) when the extension direction of the cable 212 is upward. Furthermore, the housing 213 of the unit main body 21 is provided with a ferromagnetic metal member 219 such as iron at a position that will come into contact with the magnet 224 (the magnet 224 provided on the lower surface of the rotating portion 22B) when the extension direction of the cable 212 is downward. As a result, for example, when the extension direction of cable 212 is upward, magnet 224 provided on rotating part 22B attaches to metal member 219 provided on housing 213 of unit main body 21, thereby restricting the rotation of rotating part 22B. Note that a ferromagnetic metal member such as iron may be provided in place of magnet 224 in rotating part 22B, and a magnet may be provided in place of metal member 219 in housing 213 of unit main body 21.

[0039] Furthermore, in the cable unit 2C of the variant 2 of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the switching member 22 is provided with the connector 221 on a predetermined side surface adjacent to the side surface attached to the unit main body 21, but the connector 221 may also be provided on a side surface opposite to the side surface attached to the unit main body 21.
