Abstract
The invention relates to a load-bearing plate for supporting a bulky device of medical engineering, especially a magnetic resonance imaging device. Said load-bearing plate comprises a flat hollow body which is filled with a high-density filler, said filler being cast to give a rigid composite by means of a solidified casting compound and the hollow body as well as the filler and the casting material consist of a non-magnetic material. The invention further relates to a method for producing a load-bearing plate of the above type and to a method for supporting a bulky device of medical engineering.
Claims15
A load-bearing plate (1, 1′) for supporting a bulky device of medical engineering, in particular a magnetic resonance imaging device (3), comprising a flat hollow body (9, 9′) which is filled with a high-density filler (11, 13), the filler (11, 13) being cast to give a rigid composite by means of a solidified casting material (15) and the hollow body (9, 9′) as well as the filler (11, 13) and the casting material (15) consisting of non-magnetic material.
The load-bearing plate according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that a stabilising support (31, 33) made of non-magnetic material is arranged in or on the hollow body (9, 9′).
The load-bearing plate according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the hollow body (9, 9′) and/or the stabilising support (31, 33) consist at least predominantly of high-grade steel.
The load-bearing plate according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the filler comprises a bulk material (13).
The load-bearing plate according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the casting material (15) comprises a cast resin.
The load-bearing plate according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the casting material (15) comprises a material which has a liquid or semi-liquid state before solidification at room temperature.
A support assembly (27) comprising a load-bearing plate (1, 1′) according to any one of the preceding claims arranged on a surface of a floor (25) of a room of installation.
A method for producing a load-bearing plate (1, 1′) for supporting a bulky device (3) of medical engineering, in particular a magnetic resonance imaging device, said method comprising the following steps:
- a) providing (B) a flat hollow body (9, 9′) made of non-magnetic material,
- b) filling (F) the hollow body (9, 9′) with a high-density non-magnetic filler (11, 13),
- c) casting (V) the filler (11, 13) to give a rigid composite by means of a solidifying casting material (15).
A method for supporting a bulky device (3) of medical engineering, in particular a magnetic resonance imaging device, at a place of use of the bulky device (3), said method comprising the following steps:
- a) providing (B) a flat hollow body (9, 9′) made of non-magnetic material,
- b) filling (F) the hollow body (9, 9′) on site with a high-density non-magnetic filler (11, 13),
- c) casting (V) the filler (11, 13) on site to give a rigid composite by means of a solidifying casting material (15) so that a load-bearing plate (1, 1′) is produced from the hollow body (9, 9′) with the rigid composite,
- d) installing (A) the medical bulky device (3) on the load-bearing plate (1, 1′).
