The present invention in accordance with the status of the spot, and to provide an X-ray imaging apparatus which enables to switch the vertical movement of the image receiving portion to the electric or manual thing. And An apparatus body, counter balance the connection to the apparatus main body of the counterweight 12 in connection to the other end of the apparatus main body to one end of the first rotary body first transmission means 11, which is wound to 10 to support vertically movable and mechanism, a driven rotary body 15 and the drive rotating body 16 and the second transmission means 14 and the clutch 18 is engaged an apparatus body with connecting each time moving body to move in the vertical direction in accordance with the rotation of the body each time the first motor 19 and which has a drive unit, and a grip bar that moves up and down in conjunction with or independently of vertical movement of the main body, and comprising a control unit, the apparatus main body by releasing the ligated or connected the first motor and a clutch motor, or manually to allow vertical movement, allowing secure the setting by moving the stick grip when the distance between the rods grip the device body is different from the set distance previously set distance. .BACKGROUND 8【課題】その場の状況等に応じて、受像部の上下動を電動あるいは手動に切り替えることを可能にしたX線撮影装置を提供すること。【解決手段】装置本体と、第1回動体10に巻き回した第1伝達手段11の一端に装置本体を連結し他端にカウンターウェイト12を連結し装置本体を上下動自在に支持するカウンターバランス機構と、従動回動体15と駆動回動体16と各回動体を連結するとともに装置本体が係止され各回動体の回動に従い上下方向に移動する第2伝達手段14とクラッチ18と第1モーター19を有した駆動部と、装置本体の上下動に連動し又は独立に上下動する握り棒と、制御部を具備し、第1モーターとクラッチを連結し又は連結を解除することで装置本体を電動又は手動で上下動可能にし、装置本体と握り棒間の距離が予め設定した設定距離と異なる場合に握り棒を移動して設定距離を確保可能にした。【選択図】図8
