According to a position of the connecting mechanism 82 on the top plate receiving portion, the position of the hook 12 varies to connect to the pin 17.
1. A medical image diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
a gantry having an imaging space;
a bed device including a top plate on which an object is placed; and
a top plate drawing mechanism that draws the top plate into the imaging space of the gantry,
wherein at least a part of the top plate drawing mechanism is disposed in the gantry, and the top plate drawing mechanism includes a top plate receiving portion having an end disposed opposite the bed device, a connecting mechanism that is movable on the top plate receiving portion, and a driving unit that moves the connecting mechanism on the top plate receiving portion,
a first member having a predetermined shape that is engaged with the connecting mechanism is provided in an end portion of the top plate,
a second member having a shape that is engaged with the first member of the top plate and a movable portion that retracts the second member up to a predetermined position are provided in the connecting mechanism, and
the top plate drawing mechanism moves the connecting mechanism toward the bed device on the top plate receiving portion, retracts the second member up to the predetermined position when the connecting mechanism becomes close to a predetermined origin of a top surface on the one end side of the top plate receiving portion, stops the connecting mechanism when the connecting mechanism aches the origin, and releases the retraction of the second member while making the connecting mechanism move away from the bed device, so that the second member is engaged with the first member of the top plate and the top plate is drawn into the gantry.
2. A medical image diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
a gantry having an imaging space;
a bed device including a top plate on which an object is placed; and
a top plate drawing mechanism that draws the top plate into the imaging space of the gantry,
wherein at least a part of the top plate drawing mechanism is disposed in the gantry, and the top plate drawing mechanism includes a top plate receiving portion having an end disposed opposite the bed device, a connecting mechanism that is movable on the top plate receiving portion, and a driving unit that moves the connecting mechanism on the top plate receiving portion,
a first member having a predetermined shape that is engaged with the connecting mechanism is provided in an end portion of the top plate,
a second member having a shape that is engaged with the first member of the top plate and a movable portion that retracts the second member are provided in the connecting mechanism,
in the top plate receiving portion, a projection is provided at a predetermined position near a predetermined origin of a top surface on the one end side, and
the projection is brought into contact with the second member and retracts the second member when the connecting mechanism becomes close to the origin, and is away from the second member to release the retraction when the connecting mechanism moves in a direction away from the origin.
3. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a control unit that controls the driving unit of the top plate drawing mechanism,
wherein the control unit moves the connecting mechanism toward the bed device on the top plate receiving portion, stops the connecting mechanism when the connecting mechanism reaches the origin, and moves the connecting mechanism in a direction away from the bed device, so that the second member that has been retracted due to the projection is connected to the first member of the top plate and the top plate is drawn into the gantry.
4. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the top plate drawing mechanism further includes a connection detection sensor that detects connection between the connecting mechanism and the top plate, and
the control unit moves the connecting mechanism in a direction away from the bed device if the connection detection sensor detects connection when the connecting mechanism has stopped after reaching the origin.
5. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the bed device further includes a top plate height sensor that detects a height of the top plate, and
when it is detected from an output of the top plate height sensor that the top plate is located at a same height as the top plate receiving portion, the control unit moves the connecting mechanism toward the bed device on the top plate receiving portion in order to connect the connecting mechanism to the top plate.
6. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the top plate drawing mechanism further includes an origin sensor that detects that the connecting mechanism has reached the origin of the top plate receiving portion.
7. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the first member is a rod shaped member, and the second member is a hook.
8. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the second member is a hook, and
the projection displaces and retracts a tip of the hook with respect to a base portion of the hook by being brought into contact with the hook.
9. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 8 ,
wherein the hook has a recess for being engaged with the first member and an inclined surface provided closer to the base portion than the recess is, and
as the connecting mechanism becomes close to the origin, the inclined surface is brought into contact the projection to gradually displace the tip of the hook.
10. A medical image diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
a gantry having an imaging space;
a bed device including a top plate on which an object is placed; and
a top plate drawing mechanism that draws the top plate into the imaging space of the gantry,
wherein at least a part of the top plate drawing mechanism is disposed in the gantry, and the top plate drawing mechanism includes a top plate receiving portion having an end disposed opposite the bed device, a connecting mechanism that is movable on the top plate receiving portion, and a driving unit that moves the connecting mechanism on the top plate receiving portion,
a first member having a predetermined shape that is engaged with the connecting mechanism is provided in an end portion of the top plate,
a second member having a shape that is engaged with the first member of the top plate and a movable portion that makes the second member displace are provided in the connecting mechanism,
in the top plate receiving portion, a projection is provided at a predetermined position near a predetermined origin of a top surface on the one end side of the top plate receiving portion, and
the projection is brought into contact with the second member and displaces the second member when the top plate becomes close to the origin, so that the second member is engaged with the first member and the connecting mechanism and the top plate are connected to each other.
