Adjustment device
Provided is an adjustment device that reduces fluctuations in mounting angle of a detector. An adjustment device ( 10 ) includes a first member ( 11 ), a second member ( 12 ), an adjustment member ( 16 ), and an elastic member ( 22 ). The first member ( 11 ) includes a base ( 13 ) on which a detector is mountable. The first member ( 11 ) is attached to the second member ( 12 ) through a first shaft ( 15 ) such that the first member is rotatable in a first direction and a second direction. The adjustment member ( 16 ) is configured to restrict rotation of the first member ( 11 ) in the first direction and define a rotation range of the first member ( 11 ). The elastic member ( 22 ) urges the first member ( 11 ) in the first direction.
1. An adjustment device comprising:
a first member comprising a base on which a detector is mountable;
a second member to which the first member is attached through a first shaft such that the first member is rotatable in a first direction and a second direction;
an adjustment member configured to restrict rotation of the first member in the first direction and define a rotation range of the first member; and
an elastic member urging the first member in the first direction, wherein the first member is formed in a U-shape with two opposing first walls rising from a bottom surface, and the second member is formed in a U-shape with two opposing second walls rising from a bottom surface, the first member and the second member are arranged such that their bottom surfaces face each other in the direction in which the first wall and the second wall rise, and the elastic member is arranged in a position that contacts the bottom surface of the first member.
2. The adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first member comprises a contact portion to contact the adjustment member, and
the adjustment member extends from the second member toward the contact portion to contact the contact portion.
3. The adjustment device according to claim 2 , wherein the contact portion is turned relative to the first member to adjust a distance to the adjustment member.
4. The adjustment device according to claim 2 , wherein the adjustment member is turned relative to the second member to adjust a distance to the contact portion.
5. The adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment member is movable relative to the second member along a predetermined path.
6. The adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein
the adjustment member is attached to a movable portion included in the second member and comprising an arc-shaped first through-hole, and
the movable portion is attached to a stationary portion included in the second member through the first through-hole and is movable with the adjustment member along an arc-shaped path.
7. The adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment member comprises a screw, and the rotation range of the first member in the first direction is adjusted by adjusting an amount of protrusion of the screw from a screw hole located in the second member.
8. The adjustment device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a third member connected to the second member and comprising an arc-shaped second through-hole, the third member being attachable through the second through-hole to a mounting object such that the second member is rotatable about a second shaft in a third direction and a fourth direction that are different from the first direction and the second direction.
9. The adjustment device according to claim 8 , wherein the second member is attached to the third member through a shaft such that the second member is rotatable in a fifth direction and a sixth direction that are different from the first direction, the second direction, the third direction, and the fourth direction.
10. The adjustment device according to claim 9 , wherein
the first direction and the second direction define a tilt direction of the detector,
the third direction and the fourth direction define a pan direction of the detector, and
the fifth direction and the sixth direction define a roll direction of the detector.
