Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Operationsleuchte gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, insbesondere mit einem Leuchtenkörper, in dem zumindest ein Leuchtenmodul zum Erhellen eines Operationsbereiches verbaut ist und mit einem am Leuchtenkörper angebrachten Verlängerungsbauteil, das einen Anbringbereich zur Befestigung an einer Wand, wie einer Decke eines Raumes, oder einem fahrbaren Untersatz, wie einen Wagen, aufweist.The invention relates to a surgical lamp according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular with a lamp body in which at least one lamp module for illuminating an operating area is installed and with an attached to the lamp body extension member having an attachment area for attachment to a wall, such as a ceiling of a room , or a mobile pedestal, such as a car has.

Aus dem Stand der Technik, etwa der marLux H6 CX Mobil Batterie-Operationsleuchte der KLS Martin Group, ist eine mobile Operationsleuchte bekannt, die ein stabiles U-Fuß-Fahrgestell mit feststellbaren Laufrollen aufweist. Eine Aufhängung eines Leuchtenkörpers erfolgt mittels eines Federarms und einem senkrechten Stativrohr. Der Leuchtenkörper selbst ist staubdicht geschlossen und aus bruchsicherem Aluminium mit einem transparentem Kunststoffelement gefertigt. Die Aluminiumoberfläche verfügt über ein hochresistentes Kunststoff-Coating. Ein Batteriekasten ist schwerpunktoptimiert auf dem U-Fuß-Fahrgestell montiert. Darin befindet sich ein Akkumulator. Fällt ein Primär-Stromsystem aus, oder ist gar nicht vorhanden, so kann die Operationsleuchte ausschließlich über die in dem Batteriekasten verbaute Akkumulatoreinheit betrieben werden.The state-of-the-art technology, such as the marLux H6 CX Mobile Battery Operational Light from the KLS Martin Group, is a well-known mobile operating light that features a sturdy U-leg chassis with lockable castors. A suspension of a lamp body by means of a spring arm and a vertical stand tube. The luminaire body itself is dustproof closed and made of shatterproof aluminum with a transparent plastic element. The aluminum surface has a highly resistant plastic coating. A battery box is mounted on the U-foot chassis with optimized focus. There is an accumulator in it. If a primary power system fails, or is absent, the operating light can only be operated via the accumulator unit installed in the battery box.

Es ist hinlänglich bekannt, dass Operationsleuchten durch einen Stromausfall ausfallen können. Auch sind kurzzeitige Unterbrechungen und Störungen, insbesondere durch große Spannungsschwankungen häufig der Auslöser. Zusätzlich treten auch noch Ausfälle von Operationsleuchten auf, wenn ein Kurzschluss auftritt oder unbeabsichtigt die Stromleitung getrennt wurde. Das Trennen der Zuleitung kann etwa bei einer Reparatur oder einer Revision oder durch einen Defekt hervorgerufen sein.It is well known that surgical lights can fail due to a power failure. Also, short-term interruptions and disturbances, especially due to large voltage fluctuations are often the trigger. In addition, even failures of operating lights occur when a short circuit occurs or unintentionally the power line was disconnected. The disconnection of the supply line may be caused by a repair or a revision or by a defect.

Üblich ist es auch, dass Operationsleuchten bauseits über eine Notstromversorgung abgesichert sind. Diese Notstromversorgung ist Teil einer Hausinstallation, also Teil eines Sekundär-Stromversorgungssystems eines Krankenhauses. Die Notstromversorgung umfasst häufig einen Notstromgenerator und ein separates Stromleitungssystem. Während 230 V-Strom über die PrimärStromversorgung, also das übliche Stromnetz einem Schaltnetzteil zugeführt wird, wird der Notstrom über ein separates Netz, also dem Sekundär-Stromnetz, zwischen dem Schaltnetzteil und der Operationsleuchte über ein oder mehrere Umschaltrelais eingespeist. Fällt der Strom aus, übernimmt die Notstromversorgung ihre Aufgabe. Die Umschaltung erfolgt dann mittels des oder der Umschaltrelais. Die Notstromversorgung besteht meist aus einem großen Batteriepuffer und/oder einem besagten Generator. Es gibt sowohl 24 V Gleichstrom- als auch 230 V Wechselstrom-Notstromversorgungen. Natürlich gibt es auch länderspezifische Abweichungen bzgl. der Spannung.It is also customary that operating lights are secured by an emergency power supply on site. This emergency power supply is part of a domestic installation, ie part of a secondary power supply system of a hospital. The emergency power supply often includes an emergency generator and a separate power line system. While 230 V power via the primary power supply, ie the usual power supply is supplied to a switching power supply, the emergency power is fed via a separate network, ie the secondary power grid, between the switching power supply and the operating light via one or more changeover relay. If the power fails, the emergency power supply takes over its task. The changeover then takes place by means of the or the changeover relay. The emergency power supply usually consists of a large battery buffer and / or a said generator. There are both 24 V DC and 230 V AC backup power supplies. Of course, there are also country-specific deviations regarding the voltage.

Beispielhafter Stand der Technik ist aus der US 2005/0171407 A1 , der US 2004/0109331 A1 , der GB 511 194 A , der US 3,783,262 A , der EP 1 536 179 A2 , sowie der CN 101 881 407 A bekannt.Exemplary prior art is known from US 2005/0171407 A1 , of the US 2004/0109331 A1 , of the GB 511 194 A , of the US 3,783,262 A , of the EP 1 536 179 A2 , as well as the CN 101 881 407 A known.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Nacheile aus dem Stand der Technik zu vermeiden und eine hohe Energiedichte, bei kleinem Bauraum für ausfallsicherere Operationsleuchten zu ermöglichen.It is the object of the present invention to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art and to enable a high energy density, with a small space for fail-safe operating lights.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Der Akkumulator ist dann innerhalb des entsprechenden Bauteils eingebettet und von diesem zumindest teilweise umgeben.This object is achieved by the characterizing part of claim 1. The accumulator is then embedded within the corresponding component and at least partially surrounded by it.

Durch die deutlich reduzierte Leistung moderner Operationsleuchten, insbesondere wenn sie LEDs verwenden, und die Entwicklung von sog. "Akku-Packs", also Kombinationen von Akkumulatoren, in Richtung einer effizienteren und kleineren Art, wird es möglich, durch eine erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung eine hohe Energiedichte sicherzustellen, derart, dass eine Notstromversorgung direkt im Leuchtensystem erfolgt. Die Gefahr von durch Leitungsbrüche hervorgerufene Ausfälle der Operationsleuchte wird nahezu beseitigt.Due to the significantly reduced performance of modern surgical lights, especially when they use LEDs, and the development of so-called "battery packs", ie combinations of accumulators, in the direction of a more efficient and smaller type, It is possible to ensure a high energy density by an inventive design, such that an emergency power supply takes place directly in the lighting system. The risk of line breaks caused by failures of the operating light is almost eliminated.

Ein Akkumulator inklusive einem Ladesystem wird direkt in den leuchtenkörperseitigen Abschnitt der Operationsleuchte eingebaut. Fällt der Strom, der üblicherweise zum Betrieb der Operationsleuchte eingesetzt wird, aus, so leuchtet die Operationsleuchte trotzdem unabhängig davon vollständig weiter.An accumulator including a charging system is installed directly in the light body side section of the operating light. If the current that is usually used to operate the surgical light fails, the surgical light still lights up completely independently of this.

Die Folge ist eine stark erhöhte Ausfallsicherheit. Auch bei Beschädigungen der Zuleitungen und Peripheriegeräte, leuchtet die Operationsleuchte weiter und die Operation kann erfolgreich zu Ende gebracht werden. Eine zusätzliche externe Verdrahtung der Notstromversorgung ist nicht notwendig, was zu einer Kosteneinsparung führt. Die Verwendung von nun kleinen Akkumulator-Ladeeinheiten in der Operationsleuchte ist deutlich günstiger, als eine zentrale große Notstromversorgung. Auch ein Betrieb in Krankenhäusern ohne Notstromversorgung wird möglich, da die erfindungsgemäße Operationsleuchte aus sich heraus notstromfähig ist.The result is a greatly increased reliability. Even if the supply lines and peripheral equipment are damaged, the operating light stays on and the operation can be successfully completed. An additional external wiring of the emergency power supply is not necessary, which leads to a cost saving. The use of now small accumulator charging units in the operating light is much cheaper than a central large emergency power supply. Even operation in hospitals without emergency power supply is possible because the surgical light according to the invention is emergency current out of itself.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind in den Unteransprüchen beansprucht und werden nachfolgend näher erläutert.Advantageous embodiments are claimed in the subclaims and are explained in more detail below.

In einer hier nicht beanspruchten Variante, die für das Verständnis der Erfindung von Vorteil ist, wird der Akkumulator zwischen dem Leuchtenkörper und dem Anbringbereich angeordnet und/oder in einem am Leuchtenkörper befestigten Griff angeordnet ist. Das bauraumeffiziente Unterbringen des Akkumulators, insbesondere wenn er in einem Akku-Pack integriert ist, wird dadurch gewährleistet.In a variant not claimed here, which is advantageous for the understanding of the invention, the accumulator is arranged between the lamp body and the mounting area and / or is arranged in a handle attached to the lamp body. The space-saving housing of the accumulator, in particular if it is integrated in a battery pack, is thereby ensured.

Um die Bedienbarkeit der Operationsleuchte zu verbessern ist es in einer hier nicht beanspruchten Variante, die aber für das Verständnis der Erfindung bedeutsam ist, von Vorteil, wenn der Griff als eine um den Leuchtenkörper vorzugsweise 360° umlaufende Reling oder als ein sich in Richtung des Operationsbereiches erstreckender Stab ausgebildet ist, in dem zweckmäßigerweise einer der Akkumulatoren eingesetzt ist.In order to improve the operability of the surgical light, it is in a variant not claimed here, but which is important for understanding the invention, advantageous if the handle as a around the lamp body preferably 360 ° circumferential rail or as a towards the operation area is formed extending rod in which one of the accumulators is conveniently used.

Damit die Operationsleuchte mit ihrem Lichtkegel optimal auf den Operationsbereich ausgerichtet werden kann, ist es von Vorteil, wenn das Verlängerungsbauteil über zumindest ein Gelenk, vorzugsweise mehrere Gelenke in mehrere Segmente unterteilt ist. Die Gelenke können z.B. als Kugelgelenke oder als Scharniergelenke ausgelegt sein. Sie können somit einen oder mehrere Freiheitsgrade aufweisen.Thus, the surgical light can be optimally aligned with its light cone on the surgical area, it is advantageous if the extension member is divided over at least one joint, preferably a plurality of joints in several segments. The joints may e.g. be designed as ball joints or hinged joints. They can thus have one or more degrees of freedom.

Besonders fein lässt sich das durch die Operationsleuchte erzeugte Licht ausrichten, wenn ein Segment als Ausleger ausgebildet ist, das an den Anbringbereich anschließt und ein Segment als Federarm ausgebildet ist, das zwischen dem Operationleuchtenkörper und dem Ausleger positioniert ist.The light generated by the operating light can be particularly finely aligned when a segment is designed as a cantilever, which adjoins the attachment region and a segment is designed as a spring arm which is positioned between the operating lamp body and the cantilever.

Möglichst viele Freiheitsgrade zum Ausrichten lassen sich vorhalten, wenn der Leuchtenkörper über eine teilkardanische oder kardanische Aufhängung, also ein weiteres Segment des Verlängerungsbauteils, am Federarm angebunden ist.As many degrees of freedom as possible can be provided when the luminaire body is connected to the spring arm via a partial cardanic or cardanic suspension, that is to say a further segment of the extension component.

Vorteilhaft ist es ferner, wenn der Leuchtenkörper ein Gehäuse aufweist, innerhalb dessen der Akkumulator befindlich ist.It is also advantageous if the lamp body has a housing within which the accumulator is located.

Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Leuchtenmodule über eine Steuerelektronik mit Strom versorgt sind, wobei die Steuerelektronik auch mit einer Ladeeinheit verbunden ist, die ihrerseits durch den Akkumulator verbunden ist. Die Steuerelektronik steuert alle Funktionen der Operationsleuchte. Sie überwacht auch den Stromeingang, also den "power-in". Sollte nun der eingeleitete Strom ab- oder ausfallen, übernimmt der Akkumulator die Stromversorgung der Operationsleuchte. Die Ladeeinheit, welche in der Steuerelektronik integriert sein kann oder separat näher ausgeführt ist, prüft die Ladespannung des Akkumulators. Sollte diese zu niedrig sein, wird der Akkumulator automatisch aufgeladen. Ebenso wird der Akkumulator bei Unterschreiten einer kritischen Spannung abgeschalten, um eine Tiefentladung zu verhindern.It is expedient if the lamp modules are powered by an electronic control unit with electricity, the control electronics is also connected to a charging unit, which in turn is connected by the accumulator. The control electronics controls all functions of the operating light. It also monitors the power input, so the "power-in". If the incoming current fails or fails, the accumulator takes over the power supply of the operating light. The charging unit, which may be integrated in the control electronics or is carried out separately, checks the charging voltage of the accumulator. If this is too low, the accumulator will be charged automatically. Likewise, the battery is switched off when falling below a critical voltage to prevent over-discharge.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn mehrere Lichtmodule vor einem polysphärischen Reflektorsystem angebracht sind und vorzugsweise LEDs beinhalten. Der Stromverbrauch lässt sich reduzieren und eine gute Schattenauflösung und Lichtfeldhomogenität erreichen. Auch können spezielle Filterkomponenten eingesetzt werden, um kühles und weißes Licht mit optimaler Farbwiedergabe zu garantieren. Ferner lassen sich innovative IRC-Halogen-Leuchtmittel einsetzen.It is advantageous if several light modules are mounted in front of a polysphere reflector system and preferably include LEDs. The power consumption can be reduced and achieve a good shadow resolution and light field homogeneity. Also, special filter components can be used to cool and to guarantee white light with optimal color rendering. Furthermore, innovative IRC halogen bulbs can be used.

Peripheriegeräte, wie ein Pilotlasersystem, eine sog. "Surgi Cam", also ein Kamerasystem, lassen sich bspw. über ein Netzwerk zum digitalen Datentransfer von Video-, Audio- und Steuersignalen koppeln, wobei das Pilotlasersystem eine sichere Positionierung des Leuchtfeldzentrums gewährleistet.Peripheral devices, such as a pilot laser system, a so-called "Surgi Cam", ie a camera system, can be coupled, for example via a network for digital data transfer of video, audio and control signals, the pilot laser system ensures secure positioning of the field.

Der Lebensdauer des Akkumulators zuträglich ist es, wenn der Akkumulator als Lithium-Polymer-, Lithium-Ionen-, Nickel-Metallhybrid- oder Lithium-Eisenphosphat-Akkumulator ausgebildet ist.The life of the accumulator is beneficial if the accumulator is designed as a lithium-polymer, lithium-ion, nickel-metal hybrid or lithium-iron phosphate accumulator.

Vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn mehrere Akkumulatoren in einem Bauteil oder mehreren Bauteilen der Operationsleuchte verbaut sind. Grundsätzlich ist es auch möglich, dass mehrere unterschiedliche Akkumulatoren an unterschiedlichen Stellen verbaut sind.It is also advantageous if a plurality of accumulators are installed in one or more components of the surgical light. In principle, it is also possible that several different accumulators are installed at different locations.

Die Figuren sind lediglich schematischer Natur und dienen nur dem Verständnis der Erfindung. Die gleichen Elemente sind mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen.The figures are merely schematic in nature and are only for the understanding of the invention. The same elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

In Fig. 1 ist eine erste Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Operationsleuchte 1 dargestellt. Die Operationsleuchte 1 weist zwei Leuchtenkörper 2 auf, in die jeweils einzelne Leuchtenmodule 3 eingesetzt sind. Diese Leuchtenmodule 3 weisen LEDs auf. Es ist möglich, dass ein einzelnes Leuchtenmodul 3 eine einzige LED beinhaltet. Die einzelnen Leuchtenmodule 3 sind innerhalb eines Gehäuses 4, das die Umhausung des Leuchtenkörpers mit ausbildet, eingesetzt, und zwar derart, dass von ihnen das Licht von außen in Richtung eines Operationsbereiches gebündelt gelangen kann.In Fig. 1 a first embodiment of an operating light 1 according to the invention is shown. The operating light 1 has two lamp body 2, in each of which individual lamp modules 3 are used. These luminaire modules 3 have LEDs. It is possible that a single luminaire module 3 includes a single LED. The individual luminaire modules 3 are within a housing 4, which forms the enclosure of the lamp body, used, in such a way that from them the light can be bundled from the outside towards an operating area.

An das Gehäuse 4 anschließend, ist ein Verlängerungsbauteil 5 angebracht. Auf einer leuchtenkörperfernen Seite 6 des Verlängerungsbauteils 5 ist ein Anbringbereich 7 ausgebildet, der eine Verbindung der Operationsleuchte 1 zu einer Wand eines Raums, wie einer Decke 8 oder zu einem fahrbaren Untersatz, wie einem Wagen, sicherstellt. Das Verlängerungsbauteil 5 weist zumindest einen Ausleger 9 und einen Federarm 10 auf. Der Ausleger 9 ist gelenkig am Anbringbereich 7 angebracht und der Federarm 10 gelenkig am Ausleger 9 angebracht. Zwischen dem Ausleger 9 und dem Federarm 10 ist ein Gelenk 11 nach Art eines Kugelgelenkes ausgebildet. Eine Aufhängung 12, die teilkardanisch oder vorzugsweise kardanisch ausgebildet ist, stellt unter Zwischenschaltung eines Gelenks 11 die Anbringung des Gehäuses 4 des Leuchtenkörpers 2 am Federarm 10 sicher.Following the housing 4, an extension member 5 is attached. On a side remote from the luminaire body 6 of the extension member 5, a mounting portion 7 is formed, which ensures a connection of the operating lamp 1 to a wall of a room, such as a ceiling 8 or to a mobile pedestal, such as a car. The extension member 5 has at least one boom 9 and a spring arm 10. The boom 9 is pivotally mounted on the attachment portion 7 and the spring arm 10 is pivotally mounted on the boom 9. Between the boom 9 and the spring arm 10, a hinge 11 is formed in the manner of a ball joint. A suspension 12, which is formed part gimbal or preferably gimbal, with the interposition of a joint 11, the attachment of the housing 4 of the lamp body 2 on the spring arm 10 safely.

Ein Griff 13 zeigt von jedem der im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel vorhandenen zwei Leuchtenkörper 2 in Richtung des Operationsbereiches und ist am Gehäuse 4 befestigt oder integral mit ihm ausgebildet.A handle 13 shows from each of the present in the present embodiment, two lamp body 2 in the direction of the operation area and is fixed to the housing 4 or integrally formed therewith.

Ein Akkumulator 14 ist in zumindest einem vom Anbringbereich 7 aus gesehen leuchtenkörperseitigen Abschnitt der Operationsleuchte 1 angeordnet. Er ist also bspw., wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, innerhalb des Gehäuses 4 befindlich. Dabei wird auch eine Steuerelektronik 15 und eine Ladeeinheit 16 verwendet.An accumulator 14 is arranged in at least one of the attachment region 7 seen from the light-body side portion of the surgical lamp 1. So he is, for example, as in Fig. 2 illustrated, located within the housing 4. In this case, an electronic control unit 15 and a charging unit 16 is used.

Zurückkommend auf Fig. 1 sei hingewiesen, dass eine erste Stromleitung 17 zu einem Schaltnetzteil 18 führt, von dem Strom zur Steuerelektronik 15 geleitet wird. Dazwischen ist ein Umschaltrelais 19 optional einsetzbar, um eine optionale zweite Stromleitung 20 anzukoppeln und im Notfall somit zusätzlich zu dem Einsatz eines oder mehrerer Akkumulatoren 14 eine Stromversorgung sicherzustellen.Coming back to Fig. 1 It should be noted that a first power line 17 leads to a switching power supply 18, is passed from the current to the control electronics 15. In between, a change-over relay 19 is optionally usable to couple an optional second power line 20 and thus in an emergency, in addition to the use of one or more accumulators 14 to ensure a power supply.

Üblicherweise wird bei Umsetzung der Erfindung jedoch auf die zweite Stromleitung und die entsprechenden Umschaltrelais 19 verzichtet.Usually, however, in the implementation of the invention, the second power line and the corresponding changeover relay 19 is dispensed with.

In Fig. 2 ist auch die spezielle Verschaltung der Steuerelektronik 15, der Ladeeinheit 16, des Akkumulators 14 und der Leuchtenmodule 3 gekennzeichnet. Dabei befindet sich die Ladeeinheit 16 zwischen der Steuereinheit 15 und dem Akkumulator 14.In Fig. 2 is also the special interconnection of the control electronics 15, the charging unit 16, the accumulator 14 and the lamp modules 3 characterized. In this case, the charging unit 16 is located between the control unit 15 and the accumulator 14.
