Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Steckverbindungssystem für elektrische Anschlüsse an Krankenbetten im stationären Bereich mit leicht lösbaren Steckverbindungen.The invention relates to a connector system for electrical connections to hospital beds in the stationary area with easily detachable connectors.

Es ist bekannt in den Krankenzimmern elektrische Steckleisten vorzusehen, an die elektrische Versorgungsgeräte anschließbar sind. In der Regel sind diese Steckleisten mit Netzspannung versorgt und es sind Verbraucher angeschlossen, die Netzspannung benötigen. Hier muß sicher gestellt sein, daß der Patient nicht mit der Netzspannung in Berührung kommen kann.It is known to provide electrical connector strips in the hospital rooms to which electrical supply devices can be connected. As a rule, these connector strips are supplied with mains voltage and consumers are connected that require mains voltage. It must be ensured here that the patient cannot come into contact with the mains voltage.

So wird in Kliniken immer mehr dazu übergegangen, Geräte einzusetzen, die Erleichterungen für den Patienten bringen und von denen nahezu keine elektromagnetischen Störungen ausgehen. Die in Kliniken verwendeten Betten sind heute oft mit Verstelleinheiten bestückt, mit deren Hilfe sich die Betthöhe als auch das Kopf- und Fußteil verstellen lassen. Diese Verstellungen können sowohl vom Patienten selbst als auch vom Hilfspersonal vorgenommen werden. Je nach Ausführung des Bettgestells und auch nach Gewicht des Patienten treten hierbei Kräfte in der Größenordnung von 200 bis 800 Kg auf, die von den Verstelleinheiten zu bewältigen sind. Aus Sicherheitsgründen werden diese Verstelleinheiten mit Niederspannung 12-24 V betrieben. Um die geforderten Leistungen zu erbringen, sind dementsprechend große Stromstärken gefordert.Clinics are increasingly adopting devices that make life easier for patients and from which there is almost no electromagnetic interference. The beds used in clinics today are often equipped with adjustment units that can be used to adjust the bed height as well as the head and foot sections. These adjustments can be made both by the patient himself and by the auxiliary staff. Depending on the design of the bed frame and also on the weight of the patient, forces in the range of 200 to 800 kg occur, which can be mastered by the adjustment units. For safety reasons, these adjustment units are operated with low voltage 12-24 V. Accordingly, large current strengths are required to provide the required services.

Die Systeme, bestehend aus Verstell-, Versorgungs-, Steuer- und Bedienungseinheiten, können hierbei von der Netzspannung abhängig betrieben werden als auch mit Eigenversorgung durch Batterien oder gemischt. Wird zur Versorgung Netzspannung benutzt, so muß diese auf die erforderliche Spannung transformiert werden, dazu sind Netzteile notwendig. Diese Netzteile können fest im Krankenzimmer installiert sein, aber auch dem Bett direkt zugeordnet sein. Bei Spannungsversorgungseiheinten, die sowohl mit Batterie als auch mit Netzspannung arbeiten, sind diese Einheiten immer dem Bett zugeordnet.The systems, consisting of adjustment, supply, control and operating units, can be operated depending on the mains voltage as well as self-powered by batteries or mixed. If mains voltage is used for the supply, it must be transformed to the required voltage. Power supply units are required for this. These power supplies can be permanently installed in the hospital room, however also be directly assigned to the bed. In the case of power supply units that work with both battery and mains voltage, these units are always assigned to the bed.

Die Versorgungseinheiten, sowie die Antriebs- und Steuereinheiten am Bett müssen im Bedarfsfall schnell und leicht vom Netz abtrennbar sein. Dieses kann beim Austausch von Komponenten oder im Servicefall notwendig sein, was schnell lösbare Verbindungen erforderlich macht. Die im Bett vorhandenen Kabel, Stecker und Versorgungskästen sind Maßnahmen ausgesetzt, denen sie in jeder Beziehung standhalten müssen. Dieses sind in erster Linie Maßnahmen zur Desinfektion mindest bei jedem Patientenwechsel. Normale Steckverbindungen genügen diesen Ansprüchen nicht.The supply units, as well as the drive and control units at the bed, must be quickly and easily disconnected from the mains if necessary. This may be necessary when replacing components or when servicing, which makes connections that are quick to disconnect necessary. The cables, plugs and supply boxes in bed are exposed to measures that they have to withstand in every respect. These are primarily measures for disinfection at least with every change of patient. Normal plug connections do not meet these requirements.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung Versorgungseinheiten sowie Antriebs- und Steuereinheiten mit Steckverbindungen zu schaffen, die allen äusseren Einflüssen widerstehen, die sich leicht lösen lassen und die austauschbar sind. Bei Kabelbruch oder Austausch von Komponenten im Wartungsfall ist eine schnelle Trennung der Steckverbindungen gefordert. Ferner sind die Stecksysteme für Netz und Betriebsspannung unterschiedlich codiert.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide supply units as well as drive and control units with plug-in connections which withstand all external influences, which can be easily removed and which are interchangeable. If the cable is broken or components are replaced during maintenance, the plug connections must be disconnected quickly. Furthermore, the plug-in systems for the mains and operating voltage are coded differently.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgaben ist den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen der Ansprüche zu entnehmen.The solution to these tasks can be found in the characterizing features of the claims.

In den Zeichnungen ist die Erfindung näher an Beispielen erleutert.

Die Versorgungseinheit besteht aus einem Gehäuse 1, in dem alle Anschlüsse für die Stellmotoren und für das Spannungsnetz enthalten sind. In dieser Versorgungseinheit ist auch ein Transformator oder ein entsprechendes Netzteil integriert, zur Herabsetzung der Spannung. Darüber hinaus nimmt die Versorgungseinheit auch Steuerelemente und Microprozessoren auf Mit diesen Steuerelementen lassen sich auch Memoryeffekte erzielen. In der Regel sind Stellmotoren für Kopfstützen, für die Knie- und Fußverstellung und für die Hoch- Tiefverstellung vorgesehen. Eine Erweiterung auf weiter gehende Verstellmöglichkeiten ist jederzeit möglich. Die Stellmotoren sind entweder direkt mit Endschaltern bestückt oder die Endabschaltung wird vom Microprozessor übernommen.The supply unit consists of a housing 1, in which all connections for the servomotors and for the voltage network are contained. A transformer or a corresponding power supply unit is also integrated in this supply unit to reduce the voltage. In addition, the supply unit also accommodates control elements and microprocessors. These control elements can also be used to achieve memory effects. As a rule, servomotors are provided for headrests, for knee and foot adjustment and for high-low adjustment. An expansion to further adjustment options is possible at any time. The servomotors are either fitted with limit switches directly or the limit switch is taken over by the microprocessor.

Die Versorgungseinheit ist dem Bett zugeordnet und mit allen Anschlußmöglichkeiten bestückt. Die Steckereingänge sind so gestaltet, daß eine dichte Verbindung mit dem Stecker herstellbar ist. Der Stecker selbst kann mit dem Kabel verschweißt werden, oder durch eine Schraubverbindung so verschraubt werden, daß eine von äußeren Einflüssen unabhängige Verbindung besteht. Die Schraubverbindung hat den Vorteil, daß sie lösbar und auswechselbar ist. Solche Schraubverbindungen erfolgen über eine Gewindebuchse, die dem Stecker zugeordnet ist und das Kabel wird durch die Gewindebuchse geführt und mit den Steckkontakten verbunden. In die Gewindebuchse wird nun ein Gegenteil eingeschraubt und es entsteht ein solcher Druck, daß das Kabel an die Wandungen angepreßt wird.The supply unit is assigned to the bed and equipped with all connection options. The connector inputs are designed so that a tight connection with the connector can be established. The plug itself can be welded to the cable, or screwed with a screw connection so that there is a connection that is independent of external influences. The screw connection has the advantage that it is detachable and replaceable. Such screw connections are made via a threaded bushing which is assigned to the plug and the cable is guided through the threaded bushing and connected to the plug contacts. An opposite is now screwed into the threaded bushing and there is such pressure that the cable is pressed against the walls.

Der Stecker ist mehrpolig ausgeführt und ist mit einer Führung versehen, die in die Führungsbuchse des Gehäuses einschiebbar ist. Führung und Führungsbuchse gleiten somit ineinander und bilden einen dichten Sitz. Zweckmäßig wird der Stecker im Gehäuse verschraubt.The plug is multi-pole and is provided with a guide that can be inserted into the guide bush of the housing. The guide and guide bush thus slide into one another and form a tight fit. The plug is expediently screwed into the housing.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine elektrische Versorgungseinheit, wie sie am Krankenbett angebracht ist. In dem Gehäuse 1 befinden sich alle notwendigen elektrischen Einheiten, wie Netzteil oder Trafo, Microprozessor u. dergl. Außen am Gehäuse 1 sind die elektrischen Kontakteinheiten angeordnet, über die die Stromversorgung aller am Bett befindlichen Stellmotoren oder sonstigen Geräte erfolgte Die Steckverbindungen beziehen sich auf den Netzeingang 2, die Verstellmotoren für Kopfstütze 3, Hoch/Tief 4, Knie/Fuß 5, sowie Handpanel 6, und Fußpanel 7. Ferner ist eine Verbindung für einen Endschalter 8 vorgesehen.Fig. 1 shows an electrical supply unit as it is attached to the bedside. In the housing 1 there are all the necessary electrical units, such as a power supply or transformer, microprocessor u. On the outside of the housing 1, the electrical contact units are arranged, via which all the servomotors or other devices located on the bed are supplied with power. and hand panel 6 and foot panel 7. Furthermore, a connection for a limit switch 8 is provided.

Um nun eine sichere und von äußeren Einflüssen ungestörte Kontaktverbindung herzustellen, sind Steckverbindungen vorgesehen, wie in den Fig. 2 und 3 gezeigt. Fig. 2 ist die Seitenansicht des Gehäuses 1. Die Steckeraufnahme erfolgt in der Führungsbuchse 12. In dieser Führungsbuchse 12 sind Steckkontakte 10 angeordnet, die sowohl aus der Buchse herausragen können, wie beim Netzstecker, als auch in der Buchse eingelassen sein können. In der Mitte der Buchse ist ein Schraubgewinde 9 eingebracht.In order to establish a safe contact connection which is not disturbed by external influences, plug connections are provided, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Fig. 2 is a side view of the housing 1. The connector is received in the guide socket 12. In this guide socket 12, plug contacts 10 are arranged, which can protrude from the socket, as in the case of the mains plug, and can be embedded in the socket. A screw thread 9 is introduced in the middle of the socket.

Fig. 3 zeigt den zugehörigen Stecker 15. Dieser Stecker 15 ist mit dem elektrischen Kabel 16 vergossen bzw. verschweißt. Der Stecker 15 hat eine durchgehende Bohrung, in die ein Gewindebolzen 13 eingeführt ist. Der Kopf des Gewindebolzen 13 ist in einem Einlaß 17 eingelassen. Der Stecker 15 ist in seinem Kontaktteil 19 kleiner als das Steckergehäuse selbst ausgeführt. Dieses Kontaktteil 19 besitzt einen Querschnitt, der den Konturen der Führungsbuchse 12 angepaßt ist. Im vorliegenden Fall sind die Konturen quadratisch ausgeführt. In dem Kontaktteil 19 sind die Gegenkontakte für die Steckkontakte 10 als Steckkontaktbuchsen 14 angeordnet. Wird der Stecker 15 in die Führungsbuchse 12 des Gehäuses 1 eingeführt, so entsteht neben der elektrischen Kontaktgabe eine dichte nach außen abgeschlossene Verbindung zwischen Kontaktteil und Führungsbuchse, da beide fest ineinander gleiten.Fig. 3 shows the associated connector 15. This connector 15 is potted or welded to the electrical cable 16. The plug 15 has a through hole into which a threaded bolt 13 is inserted. The head of the threaded bolt 13 is let into an inlet 17. The plug 15 is made smaller in its contact part 19 than the plug housing itself. This contact part 19 has a cross section which is adapted to the contours of the guide bush 12. In the present case, the contours are square. The mating contacts for the plug contacts 10 are arranged as plug contact sockets 14 in the contact part 19. If the plug 15 is inserted into the guide bushing 12 of the housing 1, a tight, sealed connection between the contact part and the guide bushing is produced in addition to the electrical contact, since both slide firmly into one another.

Die Dichtheit kann noch erhöht werden, wenn auf das Kontaktteil 19 eine Dichtring 18, beispielsweise in Form eines O-Ring, gelegt wird, der beim Festschrauben des Kontaktteiles 19 fest zwischen Steckgehäuse und Gehäusewandung gepreßt ist.The tightness can be increased if a sealing ring 18, for example in the form of an O-ring, is placed on the contact part 19 and is pressed firmly between the plug housing and the housing wall when the contact part 19 is screwed on.

Die Stecker für die Netzspannung sind anders codiert als die Stecker für die Betriebsspannung, so daß eine Verwechselung der Stecker in den Steckverbindungen unmöglich ist.The plugs for the mains voltage are coded differently than the plugs for the operating voltage, so that it is impossible to mix up the plugs in the plug connections.

Die Stecker können selbstverständlich auch andere Ausführungsformen aufweisen. Stecker wie sie im Handel, z.B. für Computer übich sind, lassen sich auch einsetzen. Dieses ist bei den Verbindungen Handpanel 6 und Fußpanel 7 vorgesehen. Diese Verbindungen werden ebenfalls verschraubt, hierzu dient das Schraubgewinde 11.The plug can of course also have other embodiments. Plugs as they are commercially available, e.g. are common for computers, can also be used. This is provided for the hand panel 6 and foot panel 7 connections. These connections are also screwed using screw thread 11.

Die Versorgungseinheit ist mit einem Steuerelement versehen. Dieses Steuerelement dient zum Ansteuern der einzelenen Arbeitsgeräte. In die Versorgungseinheit kann ein Mikroprozessor oder eine Kontaktsteuerung integriert werden. Die Kontaktsteuerung bietet den Vorteil, daß sie auch direkt von Hand betätigbar ist.The supply unit is provided with a control element. This control element is used to control the individual tools. A microprocessor or a contact controller can be integrated into the supply unit. The contact control has the advantage that it can also be operated directly by hand.

Die Steckverbindungen sind so vorgesehen, daß sie sich ohne Einsatz von Werkzeugen lösen lassen. Dazu werden die Steckverbindungen verschraubt, und zwar mittels Rändelschrauben, die sich leicht von Hand anziehen, bzw. lösen lassen.The plug connections are provided so that they can be removed without the use of tools. To do this, the plug connections are screwed on using knurled screws that can be easily tightened or loosened by hand.

Bei der Herstellung von Netzverbindungen ist es aus Sicherheitsgründen erforderlich, zuerst die elektrische Verbindung der Schutzkontakte herzustellen, ehe die eigentlichen Netzkontakte schliessen. Zu diesem Zweck ist allen Netzsteckern ein Schutzkontakt zugeordnet, der beim Zusammenfügen der Kontakte (Stecker mit Netzsteckdose) vorrangig die Verbindung zum Netzschutz herstellt.For safety reasons, when establishing network connections, it is necessary to first establish the electrical connection of the protective contacts before the actual network contacts close. For this purpose, a protective contact is assigned to all power plugs, which primarily establishes the connection to the mains protection when the contacts (plug with mains socket) are joined.
