Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a motorized operating table of the type comprising a horizontal plate for supporting a patient, provided at least in part with a side rail for accessories, said plate being fixed on a wheel-mounted frame.
  • the operating table of the present invention is intended in particular, but not exclusively, for surgical procedures.
  • a radiotherapy treatment table configured to support and position a patient during treatment and mounted on a frame comprising column means which are mounted on a movable wheel frame.
  • the table includes a positioning and steering device for detecting the position of said table relative to a radiotherapy station and driving and directing said table to a desired position at said station in response to the measurement. of its current position.
  • Such a table has limitations in that its movement is directly conditioned by the processing equipment. In order to be moved, the treatment table must in fact necessarily be placed near the radiotherapy station.
  • the present invention intends to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the present invention is of the type described in claim 1 and is remarkable, in its broadest sense, in that said table comprises a control block of the displacement of the operating table fixed on the lateral rail and coupled a base comprising an engine block attached to said operating table, said control block comprising control means for operating the operation or stopping of said motor unit.
  • the control block is fixed on the lateral rail removably.
  • said control block constitutes guide arms of said operating table.
  • the coupling of the control block and the motor unit is made electrically or optically.
  • the coupling of the control block and the motor unit is achieved by means of infrared, said motor unit comprising an infrared sensor.
  • said infrared emitted by said control block are advantageously directional, so as to have a transmission zone limited to a surface surrounding the infrared sensor of the motor unit, said surface being inscribed in the upper surface of said base.
  • control means transmit to the engine block coded displacement orders that are not specific to said operating table.
  • control block which is configured to be removably attached to the lateral rail formed around the tray of the operating table, can adapt and operate with any operating table equipped with a base comprising a block motor with which said control block can be coupled.
  • said table further comprises a detector for fixing said control block on said operating table.
  • Said fixing sensor has the function of disabling the motor unit in the absence of fixing said control block on said operating table.
  • said engine block is fixed under the support of said operating table, preferably centrally with respect to said support.
  • Said motor unit controls at least one of the wheels of said operating table, and preferably a wheel disposed centrally with respect to said support.
  • the figure 1 illustrates an operating table (1) according to the invention, intended in particular for surgical procedures.
  • Said operating table (1) is of the type comprising a horizontal tray (2) for supporting a patient, which is fixed on a frame (9) mounted on wheels.
  • Said plate (2) is advantageously formed of four parts (2a to 2d) for respectively receiving the patient's head, back, pelvis and legs.
  • said parts (2a to 2d) are connected to each other so as to allow a respective adjustment of the inclination of each of said parts (2a to 2d).
  • Each part (2a to 2d) of said plate (2) is provided with lateral rails (3).
  • the portions (2a and 2d) respectively constituting the front and rear of said plate (2) are also provided, respectively on their front and rear faces, with a lateral rail.
  • Said rails thus arranged around said plate (2) allow to attach the necessary accessories to the surgeon during a surgical procedure.
  • Said rails are in particular intended for attaching the surgeon's tools.
  • Said operating table (1) further comprises guide arms (6) which are respectively fixed on the side rails of the portion (2b) of said plate (2).
  • Said guide arms (6) constitute a control block (7) for controlling the movement of the operating table (1).
  • said control block (7) is coupled to a base comprising a motor unit (8), said base forming part of said operating table (1). More particularly, said base, placed under the plate (2), constitutes a part of the frame supporting said plate (2).
  • the coupling of said control block (7) with said motor unit (8) is performed electrically or optically.
  • control block (7) is coupled with a receiver intended to receive the electrical or optical signals emitted by said control block (7), said receiver being itself connected to an on-board computer controlling said engine block (8).
  • the coupling is performed optically, and advantageously by infrared.
  • the motor unit (8) comprises an infrared sensor (not shown).
  • the infrared emission is directive. More specifically, the emission zone is limited to a surface surrounding the infrared sensor of the engine block (8), said surface being inscribed in the upper surface of said base. More specifically, the emission zone is a conical zone whose intersection with the upper surface of the base forms the detection surface containing the infrared sensor.
  • the figure 2 illustrates an enlarged view of the control block of the guide arms (6) fixed on the operating table (1) of the figure 1 .
  • the guide arms (6) are respectively provided at one of their ends with a fastening element (10) intended to be fixed on the accessory rails surrounding said plate (2).
  • the fastening elements (10) are fixed on the lateral rails (3) of the part (2b) of said plate (2).
  • said fixing element (10) has a cavity configured to allow clipping of said fastener element on said side rail (3).
  • Said guide arms (6) have at their free ends a handle zone.
  • One of the handles is advantageously provided at its end with a button of safety pivotable about an axis identical to the longitudinal axis of the handle zone.
  • Said safety button makes it possible to activate the movement of the operating table (1) (forward or reverse), and to control its speed.
  • said safety button has an imprint substantially corresponding to the shape of the thumb of a hand.
  • Said guide arms are connected to each other by a transverse bar (11) which supports the control block (7) for controlling the movement of said operating table (1).
  • said operation comprises a fixing detector (not shown) of said control block (7).
  • said attachment detector will disable the motor unit (9).
  • One of the main advantages of the present invention is to offer guide arms (6) that can be adapted to any operating table (1) equipped with a motor that can be electrically or optically coupled with said guide arms (6).
  • the commands issued by the control block (7) to said motor block (8) will consist of coded displacement commands whose coding will not be specific to an operating table (1).
