Height adjustment device for imaging apparatus

1. A height adjustment device for an imaging apparatus, comprising:

a driving shaft configured to rotate in a main body of the imaging apparatus and having first and second spiral grooves defined on a peripheral surface thereof such that the first spiral groove has a first pitch along the driving shaft and the second spiral groove has a second pitch different from the first pitch along the driving shaft;

a first moving body having a screw thread engaged with the first spiral groove of the driving shaft to move along the driving shaft by rotation of the driving shaft;

a second moving body having a screw thread engaged with the second spiral groove of the driving shaft to move along the driving shaft by rotation of the driving shaft; and

a driving device disposed in the main body and configured to rotate the driving shaft.

2. The height adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein the driving shaft includes the first spiral groove in one portion thereof and the second spiral groove in another portion in a remaining portion thereof.

3. The height adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein the second spiral groove is arranged along with the first spiral groove on the peripheral surface of the driving shaft in an overlapping manner.

4. The height adjustment device of claim 3 , wherein a width of the second spiral groove is different from a width of the first spiral groove.

5. The height adjustment device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first guide part configured to guide the first moving body relative to the main body such that the first moving body is guided to move upward and downward along the driving shaft; and

a second guide part configured to guide the second moving body relative to the main body such that the second moving body is guided to move upward and downward along the driving shaft, wherein:

the first moving body includes:

a first tubular member movable upward and downward as guided by the first guide part; and

a first nut member coupled to the first tubular member and having the screw thread engaged with the first spiral groove of the driving shaft, and

the second moving body includes:

a second tubular member movable upward and downward as guided by the second guide part; and

a second nut member coupled to the second tubular member and having the screw thread engaged with the second spiral groove of the driving shaft.

6. The height adjustment device of claim 5 , wherein the first guide part comprises a first guide wall disposed in the main body and having a polygonal cross-section,

wherein the first tubular member has the same polygonal cross-section as the first guide wall and moves through the first guide wall,

wherein the second guide part comprises a second guide wall disposed at an upper end of the first tubular member and having a polygonal cross-section, and

wherein the second tubular member has the same polygonal cross-section as the second guide wall and moves through the second guide wall.

7. The height adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein the driving device includes a driving motor, and a gear connecting between the driving motor and the driving shaft such that the driving motor rotates the driving shaft through the gear.

8. The height adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein the driving device includes a rotating unit rotatably disposed on the main body, and a gear connecting between the rotating unit and the driving shaft such that the rotating unit rotates the driving shaft through the gear.

9. The height adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein:

the imaging apparatus comprises an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus having a control panel and a display device, and

the control panel is coupled to the first moving body and the display device is coupled to the second moving body.
