[Structure of structure]
1 to 3 are schematic views showing an embodiment of a structure according to the present technology.
FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing an example of a hand placed on the structure.
5 and 7 are schematic views showing a state in which a hand is placed on the structure.

The structure 10 is configured for the purpose of placing the human hand 1 on it.
In the present disclosure, for convenience, the plane direction of the surface on which the structure 10 is arranged is defined as the XY plane direction. Further, with respect to the structure 10, the X direction is the front-rear direction and the Y direction is the left-right direction. Further, the direction perpendicular to the surface on which the structure 10 is arranged, that is, the direction orthogonal to each of the X direction and the Y direction is defined as the vertical direction of the structure 10.
Further, with respect to the structure 10, the front side and the rear side in the front-rear direction, the left side and the right side in the left-right direction, and the upper side and the lower side in the vertical direction are shown in FIGS. Prescribe.
Therefore, FIGS. 1 and 5 correspond to a view of the structure 10 (structure 10 in which the hand 1 is placed) viewed from above along the vertical direction.
FIG. 2 corresponds to a view of the structure 10 viewed from the rear side along the front-rear direction.
3 and 6 correspond to a view of the structure 10 (structure 10 in which the hand 1 is placed) viewed from the right side along the left-right direction.
Of course, regarding the application of the present technology, the direction and direction in which the structure 10 is used are not limited. For example, when the structure 10 is installed on a ceiling, a side wall, or the like that is not a horizontal plane, the upper side and the lower side in the vertical direction in the drawing may be different from the upper side and the lower side in the actual space. possible.

The structure 10 has a main body 11 and a pair of stoppers 12 (12a and 12b).
The main body 11 is a portion on which the hand 1 is placed, and the upper surface is the mounting surface 13 on which the hand is placed.
As shown in FIG. 1, when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from above, it has a substantially elliptical shape as a whole.
As shown in FIG. 2, when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from the rear side, it has a convex shape protruding upward.
As shown in FIG. 3, when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from the right side, it has a convex shape protruding upward.
That is, the mounting surface 13 has a shape formed by a curved surface like the surface of an egg as a whole.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mounting surface 13 has a mounting region 14.
The mounting area 14 is an area on which a target portion of a predetermined finger of the hand is placed.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an elliptical mounting area 14 is set at a position on the front side in the front-rear direction and at a center position in the left-right direction.
The position, shape, size, etc. of the mounting area 14 are not limited.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, a portion centered on the second joint of the middle finger 2 of the right hand 1 is set as the target portion 3. That is, the target portion 3 centered on the second joint of the middle finger 2 is placed on the mounting area 14 of the mounting surface 13.

The pair of stoppers 12 are configured at positions corresponding to the positions of the mounting areas 14 on the mounting surface 13.
In the present embodiment, when the mounting surface 13 is viewed along the vertical direction, a virtual guide axis G that passes through the center of the mounting area 14 and extends in the front-rear direction is set. The guide axis G can be said to be an axis that passes through the center of the entire mounting surface 13.
The pair of stoppers 12 are configured to face each other in the left-right direction so as to sandwich the guide shaft G in between. Further, each pair of stoppers 12 is configured so as to project upward from the mounting surface 13.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from above along the vertical direction, the pair of stoppers 12 have the same length in the front-rear direction. The distance between the pair of stoppers 12 is set based on the average thickness of the middle finger 2. Of course, it is not limited to such a configuration.

The pair of stoppers 12 can position the target portion 3 of the middle finger 2 in the mounting region 14 by abutting the crotch 4 (4a and 4b) of the pair of fingers at the base of the middle finger 2.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the main body portion 11 shown in FIG. 6 when the main body portion 11 is cut from the vertical direction along the guide shaft G. Further, in FIG. 7, only the middle finger 2 of the hand 1 is shown.
By fixing the crotch 4 of the pair of fingers at the base of the middle finger 2 with the pair of stoppers 12, the target portion 3 can be properly positioned and stabilized in the mounting area 14.
For example, consider a case where the target portion 3 is positioned in the mounting area 14 with the second joint of the middle finger 2 as a reference, with reference to the boundary between the wrist and the other palm (the lower end of the palm). In this case, the distance between the lower end of the palm and the target portion 3 varies greatly from person to person.
In comparison, the individual difference in the distance between the crotch 4 of the pair of fingers at the base of the middle finger 2 and the target portion 3 is sufficiently small. Therefore, by fixing the crotch 4 of the pair of fingers at the base of the middle finger 2 with the pair of stoppers 12, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the influence of individual differences, and the target portion 3 is properly placed in the mounting area 14. It becomes possible to position.

Here, the state in which the target portion 3 is positioned in the mounting area 14 shown in FIG. 6 and the like is used as a reference state. Then, the "vertical direction (upper side / lower side)", "front-back direction (front side / rear side)", and "left-right direction (left side / right side)" are defined again as follows.
The direction in which the hand 1 is placed on the mounting surface 13 is defined as the "vertical direction" in which the mounting surface 13 side is the lower side and the hand 1 side is the upper side. It can be said that the direction in which the hand 1 is placed is the direction in which the palm is facing.
When the guide shaft G is viewed from above along the "vertical direction", the extending direction of the guide shaft G is such that the tip side of the middle finger 2 (predetermined finger) is the front side and the base of the middle finger 2 (predetermined finger). The "front-back direction" with the side as the rear side.
The direction orthogonal to each of the "vertical direction" and the "front-back direction" is defined as the "left-right direction" in which the left and right sides when viewed from the rear side to the front side along the "front-back direction" are the left and right sides as they are.
In FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 7, the "vertical direction (upper side / lower side)" and "front-back direction (front side / rear side)" are based on the surface direction of the surface on which the structure 10 is arranged. "Left and right direction (left side / right side)" is specified. The definition of this direction and the "vertical direction (upper side / lower side)", "front-back direction (front side / rear side)", and "left-right direction (left / right side)" are defined again based on the reference state shown in FIG. Are in agreement.
Therefore, the "vertical direction (upper side / lower side)", "front-back direction (front side / rear side)", and "left-right direction (left / right side)" shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 7 are shown. The present technology will be described in each direction in which the reference state shown in FIG. 6 is used as a reference.
On the other hand, there may be cases where the definition of the direction based on the surface direction of the surface on which the structure 10 is arranged and the definition of the direction based on the reference state shown in FIG. 6 do not match.
For example, the hand 1 may be placed diagonally on the structure 10 arranged on the horizontal plane. In such a case, the "vertical direction (upper side / lower side)", "front-back direction (front side / rear side)", and "left-right direction (left / right side)" based on the reference state shown in FIG. This technology may be implemented.

[Shape of mounting surface]
The shape of the mounting surface 13 will be described in detail. FIG. 8 is a schematic view for explaining the shape of the mounting surface 13, and is a view of the mounting surface 13 as viewed from above.
As shown by the arrow M in FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, the mounting surface 13 has the middle finger 2 (predetermined finger) moved between the pair of stoppers 12 and the crotch 4 of the pair of fingers is paired. It has a shape capable of inducing an operation of contacting the stopper 12. The following shape is referred to as a guide shape.
For example, the guide shape induces the movement of the middle finger 2 (predetermined finger) along the virtual guide axis G extending between the pair of stoppers 12 toward the mounting area 14. Is possible. That is, the guide rail function is exhibited by the guide shape.
For example, the guide shape can be realized by a shape capable of giving a tactile sensation to the hand 1 placed on the mounting surface 13 along a direction parallel to the axial direction of the guide shaft G. .. Of course, the direction parallel to the guide axis G includes the axial direction of the guide axis G.
For example, it is assumed that the user places the right hand 1 on the rear portion of the mounting surface 13 shown in FIG. In that case, it is assumed that the palm, fingers, and the like are given a tactile sensation along the axial direction of the guide shaft G. The tactile sensation in doing so motivates the user to move the right hand 1 along the guide axis G. That is, for the user, the operation of moving the middle finger 2 between the pair of stoppers 12 and bringing the crotch 4 of the pair of fingers into contact with the pair of stoppers 12 is induced.

[Shape features]
The shape features for realizing the guide shape will be described. It does not mean that the guide shape cannot be realized unless all of the following features are provided.

[Cross-sectional shape along the guide axis]
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the structure 10 cut along the guide axis G from the vertical direction.
As shown in FIG. 9, the mounting surface 13 forms a convex curve on the cut surface obtained by cutting the structure 10 from the vertical direction along the guide axis G. This makes it possible to guide the movement of the hand 1 along the guide axis G.
The apex position 17 of the convex curve formed by the mounting surface 13 is on the rear side of the portion of the pair of stoppers 12 that abuts on the crotch 4 of the fingers in the front-rear direction. As a result, the palm can be stably placed on the mounting surface 13 on the rear side of the pair of stoppers 12.
The apex position 17 is a position on the convex curve which is the uppermost side in the vertical direction. For example, the apex position 17 can be defined as a position where the sign of the inclination (close battle) of the convex curve changes with reference to the vertical direction and the horizontal direction.

[Cross-sectional shape along the left-right direction]
FIG. 10 is a top view for explaining the guide area.
A guide area 19 (a gray color area) is defined on the mounting surface 13.
The guide region 19 is a region centered on the guide shaft G extending along the guide shaft G. The width of the guide region 19 (the size in the left-right direction) is the distance between the portions of the pair of stoppers 12 that come into contact with the crotch 4 of the fingers.
Here, the structure 10 is cut from the vertical direction along the horizontal direction at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction. The shape of the mounting surface 13 is designed so that any position in the guide region 19 is the highest position on the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction.
The highest position is the uppermost position on the mounting surface 13 on the cut surface. This makes it possible to realize a guide shape.

11 and 12 are schematic views showing an example of a cross-sectional shape along the left-right direction for realizing the guide shape.
In FIGS. 11 and 12, in order to make the position of the guide shaft G easy to understand, the guide shaft G is shown in the same manner as the rear side view shown in FIG.
Further, in FIGS. 11 and 12, in order to make it easy to understand the position of the guide region 19 defined with respect to the mounting surface 13 (that is, the upper edge portion) in the cross section, the guide region is along the vertical direction of the cross section. 19 is schematically illustrated.
11 and 12 are variation examples of the configuration in which any position in the guide region 19 is the highest position 20 on the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction.

The example shown in FIG. 11A is the configuration of the cross-sectional shape of the mounting surface 13 in the present embodiment.
In the example shown in FIG. 11A, on the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction, the mounting surface 13 forms a convex curve with the position of the guide axis G as the uppermost position 20. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 11A, the position of the guide shaft G is the highest position 20 on the cutting surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction.
As a result, for example, when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from above along the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 10, a cut surface obtained by cutting the structure 10 from the vertical direction along the horizontal direction at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction. The uppermost position 20 in the guide area 19 is continuous in the front-rear direction. In other words, a ridgeline is formed at the position of the guide axis G.
As a result, the uppermost position 20 (vertex position) configured to be continuous in the front-rear direction makes it possible to give the user a tactile sensation along the axial direction of the guide axis G, and the middle finger 2 is moved along the guide axis G. It is possible to induce the movement to move.
The shape of the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction can change depending on the cutting position. In the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional view taken along the front-rear direction shown in FIG. 9, the uppermost position 20 of the cross section along the left-right direction moves upward from the rear side to the apex position 17, and from the apex position 17 to the front side. The uppermost position 20 of the cross section along the left-right direction moves downward. Further, not only the position of the uppermost position 20 but also the shape of other curved portions can be changed.
On the other hand, the guide shape can also be realized by a configuration in which the shape of the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction is constant.

In the example shown in FIG. 11B, the portion of the guide region 19 has a linear shape along the left-right direction on the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 11B, a portion formed of a strip-shaped plane is continuously formed along the convex curve shown in FIG. 9 along the guide axis G.
In the example shown in FIG. 11B, all the positions of the guide area 19 are the highest positions 20.
With such a configuration, it is possible to give the user a tactile sensation along the axial direction of the guide axis G, and it is possible to guide the operation of moving the middle finger 2 along the guide axis G.

In the example shown in FIG. 11C, the position of the guide shaft G is the highest position 20 on the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction. Further, on each cut surface, the shape from both ends of the guide region 19 to the uppermost position 20 of the guide shaft G is a linear shape.
Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 11C, the portion protruding upward along the guide axis G is continuously formed along the convex curve shown in FIG. As a result, it is possible to give the user a tactile sensation along the axial direction of the guide axis G, and it is possible to guide the operation of moving the middle finger 2 along the guide axis G.

In the example shown in FIG. 12A, the portion of the guide region 19 is recessed downward with the position of the guide shaft G as the center on the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 12A, a groove recessed downward along the guide axis G is continuously formed along the convex curve shown in FIG.
In the example shown in FIG. 12A, the positions at both ends of the guide region 19 are the highest positions 20.
With such a configuration, it is possible to give the user a tactile sensation along the axial direction of the guide axis G, and it is possible to guide the operation of moving the middle finger 2 along the guide axis G.

In the example shown in FIG. 12B, the portion of the guide shaft G shown in FIG. 11C (that is, the portion at the uppermost position 20) has a shape recessed downward. That is, the shape of the guide shaft G is recessed downward while protruding upward from both ends of the guide region 19 toward the position of the guide shaft G.
Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 12B, two protruding portions are continuously formed along the convex curve shown in FIG. 9 so as to sandwich the guide shaft G in between.
In the example shown in FIG. 12B, the vertices of the two protruding portions of the guide region 19 are at the uppermost position 20.
With such a configuration, it is possible to give the user a tactile sensation along a direction parallel to the axial direction of the guide axis G, and it is possible to induce an operation of moving the middle finger 2 along the guide axis G.
In the example shown in FIG. 12C, on the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction, the mounting surface 13 forms a convex curve having a position different from the position of the guide axis G as the apex position. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 12C, the position different from the guide axis G is the uppermost position 20 (vertex position).
With such a configuration, it is possible to give the user a tactile sensation along a direction parallel to the axial direction of the guide axis G, and it is possible to induce an operation of moving the middle finger 2 along the guide axis G.

FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD in FIGS. 13 and 14.

The structure 10 according to the present embodiment is located rearward of the portion of the pair of stoppers 12 that abuts on the crotch 4 of the fingers when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from above along the vertical direction. A convex portion 22 that comes into contact with the palm is configured.
The convex portion 22 is formed at a position where it comes into contact with the palm in a reference state in which the target portion 3 of the middle finger 2 is positioned in the mounting region 14. Further, the convex portion 22 is configured with the guide shaft G as the center when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from above along the vertical direction.
By forming the convex portion 22, the stability after placing the hand 1 so as to be in the reference state is improved.
As shown in FIG. 14, the mounting surface 13 forms a convex curve on the cut surface obtained by cutting the structure 10 from the vertical direction along the guide axis G. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in the cross section of the top portion of the convex portion 22, a convex curve having the position of the guide axis G as the uppermost position 20 (apex position) is formed by the mounting surface 13.
By appropriately designing the size of the convex portion 22, the stable placement of the hand 1 is realized while exerting the guide rail function of moving the middle finger 2 along the guide shaft G.
The specific configuration such as the shape and size of the convex portion 22 is not limited.

FIG. 16 is a schematic view showing another configuration example of the structure.
In the structure 10 shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, in the reference state where the target portion 3 of the middle finger 2 is positioned in the mounting region 14, the region corresponding to the tip portion of the middle finger 2 on the mounting surface 13 is on the lower side. It is a recessed recess 23.
As a result, the guide rail function for moving the middle finger 2 along the guide shaft G is improved. In addition, the stability after placing the hand 1 so as to be in the reference state is improved.

FIG. 17 is a schematic view showing another configuration example of the structure.
Similar to the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the pair of stoppers 12a and 12b of the structure 10 shown in FIG. 17 has a length in the front-rear direction when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from above along the vertical direction. , Equal to each other.
On the other hand, the length in the front-rear direction is larger than that shown in FIG. Specifically, each of the pair of stoppers 12a and 12b is configured to extend along the front-rear direction when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from above along the vertical direction, and is configured to extend along the front-rear direction. The ends 24a and 24b of the above are arranged at least in front of the front end 14a of the mounting area 14.
That is, in the example shown in FIG. 17, a pair of stoppers 12a and 12b are configured along the front-rear direction so as to sandwich the entire left and right sides of the mounting area 14.
As a result, the guide rail function for moving the middle finger 2 along the guide shaft G is improved. In addition, the stability after placing the hand 1 so as to be in the reference state is improved.

As the structure 10, for example, a structure having an outer shape similar to that of the structure 10 shown in FIG. 1 or the like is used. An internal space is formed inside the structure 10. As the material of the structure 10, for example, a resin material such as PC (polycarbonate) is used. Of course, it is not limited to this.
The target portion 3 centered on the second joint of the middle finger 2 is placed in the mounting area 14 of the structure 10. The mounting area 14 is made of a transparent material such as glass.

The light source unit 52 is arranged on the upper side of the mounting area 14 toward the lower side. Although not shown in FIG. 18, a holding mechanism for holding the light source unit 52 is configured. The holding mechanism is connected to, for example, the main body 11 of the structure 10. Alternatively, the holding mechanism may be configured in a place different from the structure 10.
The light source unit 52 irradiates light toward the middle finger 2 placed on the mounting area 14.

In addition, in FIGS. 20 to 24, the figure of "A" is a view in the state where the upper cover 56 is opened. The figure of "B" is a figure in the state where the upper cover 56 is closed.

The biopsy apparatus 50 includes a structure 10, an upper cover 56, a light source unit 52, and an imaging unit (not shown).
The structure 10 has a main body 11 and a pair of stoppers 12 (12a and 12b).
The upper surface of the main body 11 is the mounting surface 13. The mounting area 14 is set at the position on the front side of the mounting surface 13 in the front-rear direction and at the center position in the left-right direction. The mounting area 14 is made of a transparent material.
In the placement area 14, the target portion 3 centered on the second joint of the middle finger 2 is placed.
When the mounting surface 13 is viewed from above, a guide shaft G extending in the front-rear direction is set at the center of the mounting surface 13.
When the structure 10 is cut from the vertical direction along the guide axis G, the mounting surface 13 forms a convex curve on the cut surface. This makes it possible to guide the movement of the hand 1 along the guide axis G. Further, the apex position 17 of the convex curve formed by the mounting surface 13 is on the rear side of the portion of the pair of stoppers 12 that abuts on the crotch 4 of the fingers in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 9).
On the cut surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction of the structure 10, the mounting surface 13 forms a convex curve having the position of the guide axis G as the apex position. That is, in the main body 11, the position of the guide shaft G is the highest position 20 (see FIG. 11A) on the cutting surface at an arbitrary position in the front-rear direction.
As a result, the uppermost position 20 (vertex position) continuous in the front-rear direction makes it possible to give the user a tactile sensation along the axial direction of the guide axis G, and guides the operation of moving the middle finger 2 along the guide axis G. It becomes possible to do.

Further, similar to the configuration shown in FIG. 18, an internal space is formed inside the main body 11. An imaging unit is arranged in the internal space of the main body 11.

Each of the pair of stoppers 12a and 12b is configured to extend along the front-rear direction when the mounting surface 13 is viewed from above along the vertical direction, and the front end of each is formed. It is arranged at least in front of the front end of the mounting area 14 (see FIG. 17).
This improves the guide rail function that guides the movement of the middle finger 2 along the guide shaft G. In addition, the stability after placing the hand 1 so as to be in the reference state is improved.

The upper cover 56 is rotatably connected to the front end of the main body 11 by a support mechanism using a hinge or the like. The upper cover 56 can be opened and closed on the upper side / the lower side, respectively, with reference to the support mechanism.
As shown in FIG. 20 and the like, the light source unit 52 is arranged on the upper cover 56. By placing the target portion 3 of the middle finger 2 on the mounting area 14 and closing the upper cover 56, the configuration illustrated in FIG. 18 is realized.
By irradiating the middle finger 2 with light from the light source unit 52, it is possible to acquire a biological image of the target portion 3 of the middle finger 2.

As described above, in the structure 10 according to the present embodiment, a pair of stoppers 12 capable of positioning the target portion 3 in the mounting region 14 by contacting the crotch 4 of the pair of fingers is configured. Further, the shape of the mounting surface 13 can induce an operation in which the middle finger 2 (predetermined finger) is moved between the pair of stoppers 12 and the crotch 4 of the pair of fingers is brought into contact with the pair of stoppers 12. It is configured to be possible. As a result, the target portion 3 can be properly placed on the mounting area 14 and stabilized.
Further, by using this technology, it is possible to stabilize the finger reasonably and place the center of the finger in a fixed position. For example, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the structure 10 according to the present technology is used. The biopsy apparatus 50 is configured. Since the target portion 3 is properly mounted on the mounting region 14 and stably held, it is possible to sufficiently improve the inspection accuracy.
