Definitions

  • the invention relates to a patient support system comprising a patient support surface, a support column for supporting the bearing surface and a transport carriage for transporting the bearing surface, wherein on the bearing surface first coupling elements are arranged, which determines the selective connection with second or third coupling elements on the column or the trolley are provided, wherein at least one of the coupling elements locking means are provided to lock the first coupling elements alternatively with the second or third coupling elements when the bearing surface is coupled to the support column or the trolley.
  • Such a system is for example from the EP 457 246 B1 known.
  • To transfer the storage area on the trolley this is brought into a suitable position relative to the support column.
  • the bearing surface is first lowered until it rests on the trolley. At the moment of delivery, they stand first coupling elements on the bearing surface simultaneously with the second and third coupling elements on the column or the trolley into engagement.
  • the second latch can engage with increasing distance from the coupling element of the trolley in the coupling element of the column under the spring preload.
  • the locked in the coupling element of the column latch is pushed back by a control contour of the transporter, while the other latch engages with increasing distance of the column of the bearing surface under the action of the spring force in the coupling element of the trolley.
  • the bearing surface is protected by no bolt against lifting.
  • situations may arise in which the snapping of the bolt is prevented by spring force, for example, when the coupling elements are slightly tilted against each other.
  • the locking means comprise at least one on one of the coupling elements adjustably arranged locking element which engages in the engaged position of two coupling elements in a recess of the respective adjacent coupling element, and that are formed on the coupling elements cams, through which the locking element during the transfer process of the bearing surface of the support column on the trolley or vice versa forced into the respective recess or disengaged from it.
  • the respective locking element is designed as a two-armed rotatably mounted lever which has certain control edges for interaction with the cams, which are opposite to the pivot point of the lever, that are arranged on the two lever arms.
  • the embodiment according to the invention results in that the respective locking element does not reach its detent position by spring pressure, but is forcibly guided. At the same time, during the transfer process, i. trapped during the movement of the locking element, the bearing surface always between the oppositely oriented control edges and thus secured at the time of acquisition against lifting out of the respective coupling element.
  • two locking elements are arranged on each first coupling element, one of which is intended for locking the first coupling element with the second coupling element and the other for the locking of the first coupling element with the third coupling element , wherein the control cams for adjusting the locking elements are formed on the second and third coupling elements.
  • the patient support system shown schematically in FIG. 1 comprises a support column, generally designated 10, of a surgical table with a pedestal 12 and a column head 14 mounted on it in a height-adjustable manner.
  • the height adjustment device is not shown. It may be formed in any conventional manner. As a rule, this will be a hydraulic or mechanical lifting device.
  • the trolley 16 To the left of the support column there is a transport carriage, generally designated 16, which carries a bearing surface or table top 18 of the operating table.
  • the trolley 16 consists of two side frame members 20 which are interconnected by transverse bars, not shown, as shown in the EP 457 246 B1 is shown. The trolley 16 can be moved up to the support column 10 so that it lies between the side frame members 20.
  • first coupling elements 22 are arranged, which are intended for engagement in second coupling elements 24 on the column head 14 and third coupling elements 26 on the side frame members 20 of the trolley 16 to the bearing surface 18 either with the support column 10 or the trolley 16th connect to.
  • reference numeral 28 designates a connecting frame comprising a middle plate 30 and two side cheeks 32 projecting downwards at the longitudinal ends thereof, only one of which is shown.
  • the middle plate 30 has on its upper side a bearing 34 for connection to the actual patient support surface 18, which is mounted on the connecting frame 28 so as to be pivotable about the bearing axis 36 extending transversely to its longitudinal direction.
  • Each of the cheeks 32 carries on its inside a first coupling element 22. This has the shape a wide pin with an outer contour 38, and a slot-shaped recess 40 with an inner contour 42nd
  • a partially illustrated saddle 44 which is part of the column head 14. It is similar to the connecting frame 28 C-shaped with a central web 46 and two side panels 48, of which only one is shown.
  • the side part 48 has on its outer side a second coupling element 24 forming receiving pocket for receiving the first coupling element 22, wherein the receiving pocket has an outer contour 38 of the first coupling element 22 adapted inner contour 50.
  • the center bar 46 carries near its respective side part 48 on its upper side a centering pin 52 which is intended to engage in a complementary pin receptacle 54 which is formed on the underside of the middle plate 30 of the connecting frame 28.
  • a third coupling element 26 forming guide pin which is attached via a socket 56 to the trolley 16 and is intended to engage in the recess 40 of the respective first coupling element 22. He has one of the inner contour 42 of the first coupling element 22 corresponding outer contour 58th
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic plan view of the inside of a cheek 32 of the connecting frame 28. It can be seen again the first coupling element 22, on which now two locking elements 60 and 62 are adjustably mounted.
  • the locking elements 60 and 62 are each in the form of a two-armed lever, which is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 64 and 66 and is biased by a torsion spring 68 and 70 respectively in a clockwise direction.
  • the locking element 60 is intended for locking the bearing surface 18 with the column head 14.
  • a lever arm 72 is provided with a hook extension 74, which is intended for engagement in a recess 76 on the inner contour 50 of the second coupling element 24 ( Figure 5).
  • the locking element 62 is intended for locking the bearing surface 18 with the trolley 16.
  • the lever arm 78 of the locking element 62 has a hook extension 80, which is intended for engagement in a recess 82 on the outer contour 58 of the pin-shaped third coupling element 26 ( Figure 5).
  • the second locking member 62 is pivoted counterclockwise by a lever arm 78 opposite lever arm 94 slides with a control edge 96 formed on a second coupling element 24 control cam 97, in turn, the hook extension 80 opposite end 98 of the first lever arm 78 in a semicircular recess 100 is immersed in the second coupling elements 24, as shown in Fig.5.
  • the locking element 60 is pivoted counterclockwise, so that the lock between the second and the first coupling element is released.
  • the above description shows that the two locking elements 60 and 62 are forcibly pivoted in the coupling processes, so that a reliable locking between the bearing surface and the column head on the one hand and the bearing surface and the trolley on the other hand is ensured.
  • the coupling elements 22, 24 and 26 should be exactly in alignment with each other. If they are tilted against each other, malfunctions can occur.
  • a generally designated 102 sensor is arranged on the saddle 44 within the receiving pocket of the second coupling element 24, which is to scan the position of the third coupling element 26 relative to the second coupling element 24.
  • the sensor consists of a rotatably mounted disc 104, which is connected for example with a potentiometer and on the outside of an eccentrically arranged sensing finger 106 is provided.
  • This sensing finger 106 engages in a recess 108, which is formed on a broad side of the third coupling element 26 and is bounded by two control edges 110 and 112.
  • a recess 108 which is formed on a broad side of the third coupling element 26 and is bounded by two control edges 110 and 112.
