Somit ist die Schlauchleitung den Verschmutzungen eines Operationsbetriebes ausgesetzt und muss reinigbar sein. Ferner sind die Anforderungen an den Schlauchwerkstoff und die Anschlussarmaturen S zur flüssigkeitsdichten Befestigung des Schlauches mit den feststehenden Elementen wegen der Reinigbarkeit sehr hoch und kostenintensiv. Darüber hinaus ist die notwendige Reinigung für das OP (Operations)-Personal aufwändig.According to the prior art is in operating tables with high adjustment, ie with a slope> 20 ° and a bevel> 15 °, with respect to FIGS. 4 and 5 the power supply between the patient support surface on the head part 14 and the power supply unit in the vicinity of the cylinder 36 by means of a lying outside the panel hose realized. In this case, the hose is realized with the energy-carrying lines in particular via a flexible hose which is laid in a U-shape between the components 14 and 36. The connection fittings S of the hose are in FIGS. 4 and 5 marked with arrows. The hose is in particular outside of the attached to the column part 10, in FIGS. 4 and 5 uncovered panel laid outdoors. Thus, the hose is exposed to the contamination of a surgical operation and must be cleanable. Furthermore, the requirements for the hose material and the connection fittings S for liquid-tight fastening of the hose with the fixed elements because of the cleanability are very high and costly. In addition, the necessary cleaning for the surgical operations staff is complex.

Die in Figur 4 und 5 gezeigte Operationstischsäule aus dem Stand der Technik hat insbesondere die folgenden Nachteile. Wegen der großen Verstellleistung und der obigen geometrischen Anordnung des Schlauches außerhalb der Drehpunkte bzw. Achsen 54 und 70 des jeweiligen Gelenkes ist eine relativ lange Schlauchleitung notwendig, um die Relativbewegungen, d.h. die Neigungs- und/oder Kantungsbewegung des Kopfteils 14, auszugleichen. Wegen der Reinigbarkeit ist eine relativ dicke Schlauchleitung mit ungünstigen Biegeradien notwendig. Wegen der Vielzahl der aufwändigen Bauteile ist diese bekannte Lösung kostenintensiv. Ferner ist das Abdichten der Austrittsöffnungen nur mit sehr hohem Aufwand zu realisieren.In the FIGS. 4 and 5 In particular, the prior art surgical table column shown has the following disadvantages. Because of the large adjustment and the above geometric arrangement of the hose outside the pivot points or axes 54 and 70 of the respective joint a relatively long hose is necessary to compensate for the relative movements, ie the tilt and / or tilting movement of the head part 14. Because of the cleanability is a relatively thick hose with unfavorable bending radii necessary. Because of the large number of complex components, this known solution is costly. Furthermore, the sealing of the outlet openings can be realized only with great effort.

Figur 6 zeigt eine Prinzipskizze zur Verdeutlichung der oben genannten Nachteile. In Figur 6 ist die bekannte Operationstischsäule mit der Hubführung 1 und dem Hubzylinder 2 schematisch dargestellt. Die den Hubzylinder 2 umgebende Hubführung 1 umfasst mindestens zwei als gleitende Schubrohre ineinander gesteckte Rohre. Der Hubzylinder 2 nutzt die Bauhöhe der Hubführung 1 maximal aus, um die nötige Verstellstrecke zu erreichen. Bei der bekannten Operationstischsäule wird die Energieversorgung aus einer Energieversorgungseinheit 3, die am obersten Säulenelement der Hubführung 1 befestigt ist, bereitgestellt. Die Patientenlagerfläche 4 wird dabei mit einer beweglichen, schlauchartigen Energieführung 5 mit der Energieversorgungseinheit 3 verbunden. Typischerweise wird die Energieführung 5 aus einem flexiblen Schlauch, der mit Elektro- oder Hydraulikleitungen gefüllt ist, gebildet. FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram to illustrate the above-mentioned disadvantages. In FIG. 6 the known operating table column with the lifting guide 1 and the lifting cylinder 2 is shown schematically. The lifting guide 1 surrounding the lifting cylinder 2 comprises at least two tubes inserted into one another as sliding push tubes. The lifting cylinder 2 makes maximum use of the height of the lifting guide 1 in order to achieve the necessary adjustment distance. In the known operating table column, the power supply from a power supply unit 3, which is attached to the top pillar element of the lifting guide 1, provided. The patient support surface 4 is connected to the power supply unit 3 with a movable hose-like energy guide 5. Typically, the power guide 5 is formed from a flexible hose filled with electrical or hydraulic lines.

Wie in Figur 6 gezeigt, ist die Energieführung 5 U-förmig zwischen der Hubführung 1 und der Patientenlagerfläche 4 angeordnet, da ein anderer Bauraum nicht günstig für das Endprodukt ist. Insbesondere sind bei der bekannten Operationstischsäule die Neigungsachse 6 und die Kantungsachse 7 oberhalb der Hubführung 1 angeordnet, um den Bauraum für die Energieführung 5 bzw. den Schlauch mit einem Schlauchdurchmesser von 30 bis 45 mm bereitzustellen. Nachteilig bei dieser bekannten Lösung ist, dass eine Bauhöhe I1 zwischen der Patientenlagerfläche 4 und der Hubführung 1 von mindestens 165 mm notwendig ist, um den U-förmigen Mantelschlauch unterzubringen. Der Abstand I2 der Neigungsachse 6 bzw. der Kantungsachse 7 von der Hubführung 1 beträgt typischerweise 100 mm. Ferner sind in Figur 6 die Neigungs- und/oder Kantungsbewegung der Patientenlagerfläche 4 durch die Pfeile 8 schematisch dargestellt.As in FIG. 6 shown, the power guide 5 is arranged in a U-shape between the lifting guide 1 and the patient support surface 4, since a different space is not favorable for the final product. In particular, in the known operating table column, the inclination axis 6 and the tilting axis 7 are arranged above the lifting guide 1 in order to provide the installation space for the energy guide 5 or the hose with a hose diameter of 30 to 45 mm. A disadvantage of this known The solution is that a height I 1 between the patient support surface 4 and the lifting guide 1 of at least 165 mm is necessary to accommodate the U-shaped jacket tube. The distance I 2 of the inclination axis 6 and the tilting axis 7 of the lifting guide 1 is typically 100 mm. Furthermore, in FIG. 6 the inclination and / or tilting movement of the patient support surface 4 by the arrows 8 shown schematically.

Ausgehend von dem bekannten Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Operationstischsäule anzugeben, die eine einfache und platzsparende Energieversorgung eines Operationstisches ermöglicht.Starting from the known prior art, it is an object of the invention to provide an operating table column, which allows a simple and space-saving power supply of a surgical table.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Operationstischsäule mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by an operating table column with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments are specified in the dependent claims.

Durch eine Operationstischsäule mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 wird eine einfache und platzsparende Versorgung eines Operationstisches mit Energie ermöglicht, da insbesondere eine Energieversorgungseinheit an dem Säulenteil angeordnet ist und das Kopfteil ein um eine erste Drehachse drehbar gelagertes erstes Kopfteilelement und ein um eine zweite Drehachse drehbar gelagertes zweites Kopfteilelement umfasst. Das Säulenteil umfasst einen Aktuator zum Bewirken einer Hubbewegung der Patientenlagerfläche. Ferner umfasst der Aktuator ein Deckelelement, das derart ausgebildet ist, dass mindestens ein mit der Energieversorgungseinheit verbundener Schlauchabschnitt in einem Bereich nahe der ersten Drehachse zumindest teilweise durch das erste Kopfteilelement hindurch durchführbar ist. Somit kann die Verwendung eines relativ langen, reinigbaren Schlauches für die Energieversorgung vermieden werden. Dies ermöglicht die einfache und platzsparende Versorgung des Operationstisches mit Energie.By an operating table column with the features of claim 1, a simple and space-saving supply of an operating table with energy is possible because in particular a power supply unit is arranged on the column part and the head part about a first axis of rotation rotatably mounted first head part element and about a second axis of rotation rotatably mounted second header member comprises. The pillar member includes an actuator for effecting a lifting movement of the patient support surface. Furthermore, the actuator comprises a cover element, which is designed such that at least one hose section connected to the energy supply unit can be carried out at least partially through the first head part element in a region near the first axis of rotation. Thus, the use of a relatively long, cleanable hose for the power supply can be avoided. This allows the simple and space-saving supply of the operating table with energy.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich das Deckelelement des Aktuators entlang der ersten Drehachse zwischen zwei gegenüber liegenden Seiten des Säulenteils.Preferably, the cover element of the actuator extends along the first axis of rotation between two opposite sides of the column part.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die radiale Ausdehnung des nahe der ersten Drehachse liegenden Bereichs kleiner als die Hälfte, vorzugsweise kleiner als ein Viertel, des radialen Abstands eines Rahmenabschnittes des ersten Kopfteilelements von der ersten Drehachse ist. Somit kann ein relativ kleiner Bereich nahe der ersten Drehachse bereitgestellt werden, in dem der Schlauchabschnitt für die Energieversorgung führbar ist.It is advantageous if the radial extent of the region lying close to the first axis of rotation is less than half, preferably less than one quarter, of the radial distance of a frame portion of the first header element from the first axis of rotation. Thus, a relatively small area can be provided near the first axis of rotation, in which the hose section for the power supply is feasible.

Vorzugsweise umfasst das Deckelelement des Aktuators mindestens eine Aussparung zum Führen des Schlauchabschnitts in dem nahe der ersten Drehachse liegenden Bereich. Somit kann der Schlauchabschnitt relativ nahe an der ersten Drehachse vorbei in das Kopfteil geführt werden.Preferably, the cover element of the actuator comprises at least one recess for guiding the hose section in the region lying close to the first axis of rotation. Thus, the hose portion can be passed relatively close to the first axis of rotation in the head part.

Vorzugsweise umfasst das Deckelelement des Aktuators zwei Aussparungen zum Führen von jeweiligen mit der Energieversorgungseinheit verbundenen Schlauchabschnitten in dem nahe der ersten Drehachse liegenden Bereich, wobei die zwei Aussparungen den zwei gegenüber liegenden Seiten des Säulenteils zugewandt sind. Vorzugsweise umfasst jede Aussparung ein rechteckiges Profil. Somit können mehrere Schlauchabschnitte für die Energieversorgung bereitgestellt werden, die jeweils in dem nahe der ersten Drehachse liegenden Bereich führbar sind.Preferably, the cover member of the actuator comprises two recesses for guiding respective hose sections connected to the power supply unit in the area close to the first rotation axis, the two recesses facing the two opposite sides of the column part. Preferably, each recess comprises a rectangular profile. Thus, a plurality of hose sections can be provided for the power supply, which are each feasible in the region lying near the first axis of rotation.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die radiale Ausdehnung des nahe der ersten Drehachse liegenden Bereichs zwischen 15mm und 35mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 15 mm und 20 mm, liegt. Somit können geeignete Abmessungen des relativ kleinen Bereichs für die Führung des Schlauchabschnitts nahe der ersten Drehachse bereitgestellt werden.It is advantageous if the radial extent of the region lying close to the first axis of rotation lies between 15 mm and 35 mm, preferably between 15 mm and 20 mm. Thus, suitable dimensions of the relatively small area for guiding the tube portion near the first axis of rotation can be provided.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das erste Kopfteilelement derart ausgebildet, dass der Schlauchabschnitt in dem Bereich nahe der ersten Drehachse und in einem weiteren Bereich nahe der zweiten Drehachse vollständig durch das erste Kopfteilelement hindurch durchgeführt ist. Somit kann der Schlauchabschnitt nicht nur in dem Bereich nahe der ersten Drehachse, sondern auch in einem weiteren Bereich nahe der zweiten Drehachse innerhalb des Kopfteils geführt werden.According to the invention, the first head part element is designed in such a way that the hose section is carried out completely in the region near the first axis of rotation and in a further region near the second axis of rotation through the first head part. Thus, the hose portion can be guided not only in the area near the first rotation axis but also in a wider area near the second rotation axis within the head portion.

Vorzugsweise ist die radiale Ausdehnung des nahe der zweiten Drehachse liegenden weiteren Bereichs kleiner als die Hälfte des radialen Abstands eines weitere Rahmenabschnittes des ersten Kopfteilelements von der zweiten Drehachse. Somit kann ein relativ kleiner weiterer Bereich nahe der zweiten Drehachse bereitgestellt werden, in dem der Schlauchabschnitt für die Energieversorgung führbar ist.Preferably, the radial extent of the further region lying near the second axis of rotation is smaller than half the radial distance of a further frame section of the first header element from the second axis of rotation. Thus, a relatively small further area can be provided near the second axis of rotation, in which the hose section for the power supply can be guided.

Vorzugsweise umfasst das erste Kopfteilelement mindestens eine Aussparung mit einem runden Profil zum Führen des Schlauchabschnitts in dem nahe der zweiten Drehachse liegenden weiteren Bereich. Somit kann der Schlauchabschnitt relativ nahe an der zweiten Drehachse innerhalb des Kopfteils geführt werden.Preferably, the first head part element comprises at least one recess with a round profile for guiding the hose section in the further region lying close to the second axis of rotation. Thus, the hose portion can be guided relatively close to the second axis of rotation within the head part.

Vorzugsweise sind das erste Kopfteilelement und das zweite Kopfteilelement derart ausgebildet, dass bei einer Kantungsbewegung des zweiten Kopfteilelements um die zweite Drehachse ein Abquetschen des Schlauchabschnitts in dem weiteren Bereich nahe der zweiten Drehachse verhindert wird. Somit kann der Schlauchabschnitt bei einer Kantungsbewegung des zweiten Kopfteilelements sicher innerhalb des Kopfteils geführt werden.Preferably, the first head part element and the second head part element are designed such that upon a Kantungsbewegung of the second head part element about the second axis of rotation a squeezing of the tube portion in the wider region near the second axis of rotation is prevented. Thus, the hose portion can be guided safely in a Kantungsbewegung the second head part element within the head part.

Vorzugsweise findet die Kantungsbewegung des zweiten Kopfteilelements relativ zu dem ersten Kopfteilelement in einem Winkelbereich von 0° bis 25° statt.Preferably, the tilting movement of the second head part element relative to the first head part element takes place in an angle range of 0 ° to 25 °.

Vorzugsweise bilden das erste Kopfteilelement und das zweite Kopfteilelement ein Kardangelenk. Dabei liegen die erste Drehachse und die zweite Drehachse in zwei übereinander angeordneten, parallelen Ebenen. Ferner beträgt der Abstand der zwei übereinander angeordneten, parallelen Ebenen maximal 60 mm. Somit kann ein Kardangelenk für eine sehr sichere Funktion des Kopfteils bereitgestellt werden.Preferably, the first header member and the second header member form a universal joint. In this case, the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation lie in two superimposed, parallel planes. Furthermore, the distance between the two parallel planes arranged one above the other is maximally 60 mm. Thus, a universal joint can be provided for a very safe operation of the head part.

Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Säulenteil und die an dem Säulenteil angeordnete Energieversorgungseinheit von einer Verkleidung abgedeckt sind, und wenn der entlang des Säulenteils verlaufende Schlauchabschnitt vollständig innerhalb der Verkleidung verlegt ist. Dies bewirkt, dass dieser Schlauchabschnitt vollständig durch die Verkleidung geschützt ist. Somit wird kein zusätzlicher Schutzschlauch zur Abdeckung des Schlauchabschnitts benötigt. Ferner muss der vollständig innerhalb der Verkleidung verlegte Schlauchabschnitt nicht aufwändig gereinigt werden.Further, it is advantageous if the pillar part and the power supply unit arranged on the pillar part are covered by a cladding, and if the hose section running along the pillar part is completely laid inside the cladding. This causes this hose section to be completely protected by the cover. Thus, no additional protective hose is needed to cover the hose section. Furthermore, the completely laid inside the lining hose section does not need to be laboriously cleaned.

Vorzugsweise bildet das zweite Kopfteilelement ein Gehäuse zur Abdeckung des vollständig durch das erste Kopfteilelement durchgeführten Schlauchabschnitts. Dabei ist dieser Schlauchabschnitt vollständig von dem durch das zweite Kopfteilelement gebildete Gehäuse umschlossen. Somit kann ein Gehäuse für die Abdeckung des Schlauchabschnitts innerhalb des Kopfteils bereitgestellt werden.Preferably, the second head part element forms a housing for covering the tube section completely made by the first head part element. In this case, this hose section is completely enclosed by the housing formed by the second head part element. Thus, a housing for the cover of the hose portion can be provided within the head part.

Vorzugsweise umfasst das Säulenteil eine Hubführung und eine in der Hubführung integrierte Teleskopanordnung von mindestens zwei relativ zueinander beweglichen Säulenteilelementen. Die Hubführung umfasst ein oberhalb der zwei relativ zueinander beweglichen Säulenteileiemente angeordnetes Fenster zum Hindurchführen des entlang des Säulenteils verlaufenden Schlauchabschnitts von außerhalb des Säulenteils in das Innere des Säulenteils. Somit kann ein Abscheren des Schlauchabschnitts durch die beweglichen Säulenteilelemente der Teleskopanordnung vermieden werden. Dies ermöglicht einen robusten Aufbau der Operationstischsäule.The column part preferably comprises a lifting guide and a telescopic arrangement integrated in the lifting guide of at least two column sub-elements which are movable relative to one another. The lifting guide comprises a window arranged above the two relatively movable column parts for passing the tube section running along the column part from outside the column part into the interior of the column part. Thus, a shearing of the hose section be avoided by the movable column sub-elements of the telescopic assembly. This allows a robust construction of the operating table column.

Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht einer Operationstischsäule 100 gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung. Wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, umfasst die Operationstischsäule 100 ein Säulenteil 102, eine an dem Säulenteil 102 angeordnete Energieversorgungseinheit 106 und ein Kopfteil 104. Das Kopfteil 104 umfasst ein um eine erste Drehachse 108a drehbar gelagertes erstes Kopfteilelement 110a und ein um eine zweite Drehachse 108b drehbar gelagertes zweites Kopfteilelement 110b. Das erste Kopfteilelement 110a ist an dem Säulenteil 102 um die erste Drehachse 108a drehbar gelagert. Ferner ist das zweite Kopfteilelement 110b an dem ersten Kopfteilelement 110a um die zweite Drehachse 108b drehbar gelagert. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an operating table column 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As in FIG. 1 The operating table column 100 comprises a pillar part 102, a power supply unit 106 arranged on the pillar part 102 and a head part 104. The head part 104 comprises a first head part element 110a rotatably mounted about a first rotation axis 108a and a second head part element 110b rotatably mounted about a second rotation axis 108b , The first header part 110a is at the column part 102 around the first Rotary shaft 108a rotatably mounted. Furthermore, the second head part 110b is rotatably mounted on the first head part 110a about the second axis of rotation 108b.

Bei dem in Figur 1 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel bilden das erste Kopfteilelement 110a und das zweite Kopfteilelement 110b ein Kardangelenk für eine kardanische Lagerung des zweiten Kopfteilelements 110b an dem Säulenteil 102. Wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, liegen die erste Drehachse 108a und die zweite Drehachse 108b in zwei übereinander angeordneten parallelen Ebenen. Diese Ebenen sind parallel zu der oberen Oberfläche des Kopfteils 104 in seiner Grundstellung. Der Abstand der zwei übereinander angeordneten, parallelen Ebenen beträgt maximal 60 mm. Durch diesen relativ geringen Höhenunterschied kann eine sehr sichere kardanische Lagerung des zweiten Kopfteilelements 110b an dem Säulenteil 102 erreicht werden.At the in FIG. 1 In the embodiment shown, the first header part 110a and the second header part 110b form a universal joint for gimbal mounting of the second header part 110b on the column part 102. As in FIG FIG. 1 As shown, the first axis of rotation 108a and the second axis of rotation 108b lie in two parallel planes arranged one above the other. These planes are parallel to the upper surface of the header 104 in its home position. The distance between the two parallel planes arranged one above the other is a maximum of 60 mm. Due to this relatively small difference in height, a very secure cardanic mounting of the second head part 110b on the column part 102 can be achieved.

Gemäß Figur 1 umfasst das erste Kopfteilelement 110a einen rechteckigen Rahmen mit einem ersten Rahmenabschnitt 122a und einem zweiten Rahmenabschnitt 122b. Dabei verläuft der erste Rahmenabschnitt 122a parallel zur ersten Drehachse 108a, während der zweite Rahmenabschnitt 122b parallel zur zweiten Drehachse 108b verläuft. Ferner ist in Figur 1 gezeigt, dass die erste Drehachse 108a und die zweite Drehachse 108b bei einer Projektion auf eine gemeinsame Ebene senkrecht zueinander verlaufen. Die erste Drehachse 108a entspricht einer Neigungsachse bei einer Neigungsbewegung des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a. Ferner entspricht die zweite Drehachse 108b einer Kantungsachse bei einer Kantungsbewegung des zweiten Kopfteilelements 110b. Wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, umfasst auch das zweite Kopfteilelement 110b einen rechteckigen Rahmen. Dieser Rahmen des zweiten Kopfteilelements 110b umgibt das erste Kopfteilelement 110a mit den Rahmenabschnitten 122a, 122b.According to FIG. 1 For example, the first header member 110a includes a rectangular frame having a first frame portion 122a and a second frame portion 122b. In this case, the first frame portion 122a is parallel to the first axis of rotation 108a, while the second frame portion 122b is parallel to the second axis of rotation 108b. Furthermore, in FIG. 1 that the first rotational axis 108a and the second rotational axis 108b are perpendicular to each other when projected onto a common plane. The first rotation axis 108a corresponds to a tilt axis in a tilting movement of the first header part 110a. Furthermore, the second rotation axis 108b corresponds to a tilting axis during a tilting movement of the second head part 110b. As in FIG. 1 Also shown, the second header member 110b includes a rectangular frame. This frame of the second header part 110b surrounds the first header part 110a with the frame parts 122a, 122b.

Wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, umfasst das zweite Kopfteilelement 110b ein Durchgangsloch 134a in einem dem ersten Rahmenabschnitt 122a des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a gegenüberliegenden Rahmenabschnitt. Ferner umfasst das erste Kopfteilelement 110a ein weiteres Durchgangsloch 134b in dem ersten Rahmenabschnitt 122a. Das Durchgangsloch in dem Rahmenabschnitt des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a, der dem ersten Rahmenabschnitt 122a gegenüberliegt, ist in Figur 1 nicht sichtbar. Gemäß Figur 1 verläuft die zweite Drehachse 108b mittig durch die Durchgangslöcher 134a, 134b. Die Durchgangslöcher 134a, 134b dienen zur Aufnahme eines Drehelements, das in den Durchgangslöchern 134a, 134b drehbar gelagert und mit dem zweiten Kopfteilelement 110b fest verbunden ist. Somit wird die Kantungsbewegung des zweiten Kopfteilelements 110b relativ zu dem ersten Kopfteilelement 110a ermöglicht.As in FIG. 1 As shown, the second header member 110b includes a through hole 134a in a frame portion opposite to the first frame portion 122a of the first header member 110a. Further, the first header part 110a includes another through hole 134b in the first frame part 122a. The through hole in the frame portion of the first header part 110a that faces the first frame part 122a is in FIG. 1 not visible. According to FIG. 1 the second axis of rotation 108b extends centrally through the through holes 134a, 134b. The through holes 134a, 134b serve to receive a rotary member which is rotatably supported in the through holes 134a, 134b and fixedly connected to the second header member 110b. Thus, the canting movement of the second header member 110b relative to the first header member 110a is enabled.

Bei dem in Figur 1 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel umfasst das Säulenteil 102 eine Hubführung 128 und zwei relativ zueinander bewegliche Säulenteilelemente 130a, 130b. Diese zwei Säulenteilelemente 130a, 130b sind parallel zu einer Längsachse des Säulenteils 102, d.h. in Höhenrichtung, bewegbar. Ferner bilden die zwei relativ zueinander beweglichen Säulenteilelemente 130a, 130b eine Teleskopanordnung, die in der Hubführung 128 integriert ist. Die Teleskopanordnung dient zur Verstellung der Höhe der Operationstischsäule 100.At the in FIG. 1 In the embodiment shown, the column part 102 comprises a lifting guide 128 and two column part elements 130a, 130b movable relative to one another. These two pillar part elements 130a, 130b are movable parallel to a longitudinal axis of the pillar part 102, that is, in the height direction. Furthermore, the two relatively movable column sub-elements 130a, 130b form a telescopic arrangement, which is integrated in the lifting guide 128. The telescopic arrangement serves to adjust the height of the operating table column 100.

Die in Figur 1 gezeigte Energieversorgungseinheit 106 ist mit einem ersten Schlauchabschnitt 118a und einem zweiten Schlauchabschnitt 118b verbunden. Der erste Schlauchabschnitt 118a verläuft im Wesentlichen durch das Kopfteil 104, während der zweite Schlauchabschnitt 118b entlang des Säulenteils 102 verläuft. Die Energieversorgungseinheit 106 umfasst beispielsweise ein Hydraulikaggregat. Ferner umfassen die Schlauchabschnitte 118a, 118b beispielsweise mehrere Elektro- und/oder Hydraulikleitungen. Wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, ist der zweite Schlauchabschnitt 118b durch ein oberhalb der zwei relativ zueinander beweglichen Säulenteilelemente 130a, 130b angeordnetes Fenster 132 hindurch durchführbar. Das Fenster 132 ist in der Hubführung 128 des Säulenteils 102 vorgesehen.In the FIG. 1 shown power supply unit 106 is connected to a first hose portion 118a and a second hose portion 118b. The first tube portion 118a extends substantially through the head portion 104 while the second tube portion 118b extends along the column portion 102. The power supply unit 106 includes, for example, a hydraulic power unit. Furthermore, the hose sections 118a, 118b include, for example, a plurality of electrical and / or hydraulic lines. As in FIG. 1 2, the second tube section 118b is shown by a above the two relatively movable column sub-elements 130a, 130b arranged window 132 through feasible. The window 132 is provided in the lift guide 128 of the pillar part 102.

Die in Figur 1 gezeigte Operationstischsäule 100 ist derart ausgebildet, dass der erste Schlauchabschnitt 118a in einem ersten Bereich 120a nahe der ersten Drehachse 108a und in einem zweiten Bereich 120b nahe der zweiten Drehachse 108b durch das Kopfteil 104 hindurch durchführbar ist. Der zweite Bereich 120b nahe der zweiten Drehachse 108b ist in Figur 1 gut sichtbar. Gemäß Figur 1 wird dieser zweite Bereich 120b durch eine Aussparung 126 in dem ersten Rahmenabschnitt 122a des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a gebildet. Ferner umfasst die Aussparung 126 beispielsweise ein rundes Profil, dessen Höhe mit größer werdendem radialen Abstand von der zweiten Drehachse 108b monoton abfällt. Durch die Bereitstellung dieses Profils zur Führung des ersten Schlauchabschnitts 118a kann ein Abquetschen dieses Schlauchabschnitts 118a bei einer Kantungsbewegung des zweiten Kopfteilelements 110b um die zweite Drehachse 108b verhindert werden. Dabei sollte die Kantungsbewegung des zweiten Kopfteilelements 110b relativ zu dem ersten Kopfteilelement 110a in einem Winkelbereich von 0° bis 25° durchgeführt werden. Insbesondere entspricht ein Winkel von 0° der in Figur 1 gezeigten Grundstellung des Kopfteils 104, bei der das erste Kopfteilelement 110a und das zweite Kopfteilelement 110b jeweils senkrecht zur Längsachse des Säulenteils 110 ausgerichtet sind.In the FIG. 1 shown operating table column 100 is formed such that the first tube portion 118a in a first region 120a near the first axis of rotation 108a and in a second region 120b near the second axis of rotation 108b through the head portion 104 can be performed. The second region 120b near the second rotation axis 108b is in FIG. 1 clearly visible. According to FIG. 1 For example, this second region 120b is formed by a recess 126 in the first frame portion 122a of the first header part 110a. Furthermore, the recess 126, for example, comprises a round profile, the height of which decreases monotonically with increasing radial distance from the second axis of rotation 108b. By providing this profile for guiding the first tube section 118a, a squeezing of this tube section 118a during a tilting movement of the second head section element 110b about the second axis of rotation 108b can be prevented. In this case, the tilting movement of the second head part 110b should be performed relative to the first head part 110a in an angular range of 0 ° to 25 °. In particular, an angle of 0 ° corresponds to the in FIG. 1 shown basic position of the head part 104, in which the first head part element 110a and the second head part 110b are each aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the column part 110.

Figur 2 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht des Säulenteils 102 der in Figur 1 gezeigten Operationstischsäule 100. In Figur 2 ist insbesondere der erste Bereich 120a nahe der ersten Drehachse 108a gut sichtbar. Wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, umfasst das Säulenteil 102 einen Aktuator 112 mit einem Deckelelement 114. Das in Figur 2 gezeigte Deckelelement 114 erstreckt sich entlang der ersten Drehachse 108a zwischen gegenüberliegenden Seiten 116a, 116b des Säulenteils 102. Die erste Drehachse 108a verläuft mittig durch einen in dem oberen Bereich des Säulenteils 102 aufgenommenen Drehbolzen 136. Der Drehbolzen 136 erstreckt sich durch zwei Durchgangslöcher in den zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten 116a, 116b des Säulenteils 102 und durch das Deckelelement 114 des Aktuators 112. Ferner ist der Drehbolzen 136 an dem Säulenteil 102 drehbar gelagert und mit dem ersten Kopfteilelement 110a fest verbunden. Somit kann eine Neigungsbewegung des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a relativ zu dem Säulenteil 102 erreicht werden. Der in Figur 2 gezeigte Aktuator 112 dient zur Verstellung der Höhe bzw. Durchführung einer Hubbewegung der Operationstischsäule 100. FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the column part 102 of FIG FIG. 1 shown operating table column 100th In FIG. 2 For example, the first area 120a near the first axis of rotation 108a is clearly visible. As in FIG. 2 The column part 102 comprises an actuator 112 with a cover element 114 FIG. 2 The lid member 114 shown extends along the first axis of rotation 108a between opposite sides 116a, 116b of the pillar portion 102. The first axis of rotation 108a extends centrally through a received in the upper region of the column portion 102 pivot pin 136. The pivot pin 136 extends through two through holes in the two opposite sides 116a, 116b of the column part 102 and by the cover member 114 of the actuator 112. Further, the pivot pin 136 on the Column part 102 rotatably mounted and fixedly connected to the first head part 110a. Thus, a tilting movement of the first header part 110a relative to the column part 102 can be achieved. The in FIG. 2 shown actuator 112 serves to adjust the height or carrying out a lifting movement of the operating table column 100th

Gemäß Figur 2 umfasst das Deckelelement 114 des Aktuators 112 zwei Aussparungen 124a, 124b mit einem rechteckigen Profil. Die zwei Aussparungen 124a, 124b sind den zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten 116a, 116b des Säulenteils 102 zugewandt. Ferner dienen die zwei Aussparungen 124a, 124b zur Führung von jeweiligen mit der Energieversorgungseinheit 106 verbundenen Schlauchabschnitten in dem nahe der ersten Drehachse 108a liegenden ersten Bereich 120a. Insbesondere sind in Figur 2 die mit der Energieversorgungseinheit 106 verbundene Schlauchabschnitte 118a, 118b gezeigt. Der erste Schlauchabschnitt 118a wird von der ersten Aussparung 124a geführt und verläuft in dem ersten Bereich 120a nahe der ersten Drehachse 108a. Ein weiterer mit der Energieversorgungseinheit 106 verbundener Schlauchabschnitt, der von der zweiten Aussparung 124b geführt werden kann, ist in Figur 2 nicht dargestellt. Bezugnehmend auf Figur 1 und 2 kann der erste Schlauchabschnitt 118a mit Hilfe der Aussparung 124a des Deckelelements 114 und der Aussparung 126 des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a sowohl in dem ersten Bereich 120a nahe der ersten Drehachse 108a als auch in dem zweiten Bereich 120b nahe der zweiten Drehachse 108b vollständig durch das erste Kopfteilelement 110a hindurch durchgeführt werden. Ferner kann der erste Schlauchabschnitt 118a auch durch das zweite Kopfteilelement 110b und somit durch das gesamte Kopfteil 104 hindurch weitergeführt werden.According to FIG. 2 For example, the lid member 114 of the actuator 112 includes two recesses 124a, 124b having a rectangular profile. The two recesses 124a, 124b face the two opposite sides 116a, 116b of the column part 102. Further, the two recesses 124a, 124b serve to guide respective tube sections connected to the power supply unit 106 in the first area 120a located near the first rotation axis 108a. In particular, in FIG. 2 the hose sections 118a, 118b connected to the power supply unit 106 are shown. The first tube portion 118a is guided by the first recess 124a and extends in the first area 120a near the first axis of rotation 108a. Another hose section connected to the power supply unit 106, which can be guided by the second recess 124b, is shown in FIG FIG. 2 not shown. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 For example, the first tube portion 118a may be completely passed through the first header member 110a by means of the recess 124a of the lid member 114 and the recess 126 of the first header member 110a both in the first region 120a near the first rotational axis 108a and in the second region 120b near the second rotational axis 108b be performed through. Furthermore, the first hose section 118a can also be continued through the second head part element 110b and thus through the entire head part 104.

Bei dem in Figur 2 gezeigten rechteckigen Profil der Aussparungen 124a, 124b entspricht die radiale Ausdehnung des ersten Bereichs 120a beispielsweise einem radialen Abstand einer seitlichen Kante des Deckelelements 114 von der ersten Drehachse 108a. Die Aussparungen 124a, 124b des Deckelelements 114 sowie die Aussparung 126 des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a können derart dimensioniert werden, dass der erste Bereich 120a und der zweite Bereich 120b relativ kleine Bereiche mit einer geringen radialen Ausdehnung um die erste Drehachse 108a bzw. die zweite Drehachse 108b darstellen. Insbesondere ist die radiale Ausdehnung des ersten Bereichs 120a relativ gering im Vergleich zum radialen Abstand des ersten Rahmenabschnittes 122a des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a von der ersten Drehachse 108a. Ferner ist die radiale Ausdehnung des zweiten Bereichs 120b relativ gering im Vergleich zum radialen Abstand des zweiten Rahmenabschnittes 122b des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a von der zweiten Drehachse 108b.At the in FIG. 2 shown rectangular profile of the recesses 124a, 124b corresponds to the radial extent of the first portion 120a, for example, a radial distance of a lateral edge of the lid member 114 from the first axis of rotation 108a. The recesses 124a, 124b of the cover element 114 and the recess 126 of the first head part element 110a can be dimensioned such that the first area 120a and the second area 120b have relatively small areas with a small radial extent about the first axis of rotation 108a and the second axis of rotation 108b, respectively represent. In particular, the radial extent of the first region 120a is relatively small compared to the radial distance of the first frame portion 122a of the first header member 110a from the first axis of rotation 108a. Further, the radial extent of the second region 120b is relatively small compared to the radial distance of the second frame portion 122b of the first header member 110a from the second axis of rotation 108b.

In Figur 2 ist der durch das Fenster 132 hindurch geführte zweite Schlauchabschnitt 118b gut sichtbar. Wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, wird dieser Schlauchabschnitt 118b von außerhalb des Säulenteils 102 in das Innere des Säulenteils 102 geführt. Die zwei relativ zueinander beweglichen Säulenteilelemente 130a, 130b der in der Hubführung 128 integrierten Teleskopanordnung sind relativ zu dem darüber angeordneten Fenster 132 nur nach unten bewegbar. Somit kann ein Abscheren des durch das Fenster 132 hindurch geführten zweiten Schlauchabschnitts 118b verhindert werden.In FIG. 2 the second tube section 118b passed through the window 132 is clearly visible. As in FIG. 2 As shown, this tube section 118b is led from outside the column part 102 into the interior of the column part 102. The two relatively movable column subelements 130a, 130b of the telescopic arrangement integrated in the lifting guide 128 are movable only downwards relative to the window 132 arranged above it. Thus, shearing of the second tube portion 118b passed through the window 132 can be prevented.

Figur 3 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Operationstisches 200 mit der in Figur 1 gezeigten Operationstischsäule 100. Von der Operationstischsäule 100 ist nur das zweite Kopfteilelement 110b teilweise sichtbar. Das Säulenteil 102 und die an dem Säulenteil 102 angeordnete Energieversorgungseinheit 106 der Operationstischsäule 100 sind von einer Verkleidung 204 abgedeckt. Die von der Verkleidung 204 abgedeckten Komponenten der Operationstischsäule sind auf einem Fuß 206 des Operationstisches 200 angeordnet. Bezugnehmend auf Figur 1 und 3 dient das Kopfteil 104 der Operationstischsäule 100 zur Verbindung einer Patientenlagerfläche 202 des Operationstisches 200 mit dem Kopfteil 104. Die innerhalb des Kopfteils 104 verlaufende zweite Drehachse 108b ist in Figur 3 dargestellt. Bei einer Kantungsbewegung des zweiten Kopfteilelements 110b um die zweite Drehachse 108b wird die Patientenlagerfläche 202 entsprechend mitbewegt. Die Hubbewegung der Patientenlagerfläche 202 wird von dem Aktuator 112 der Operationstischsäule 100 bewirkt. FIG. 3 1 shows a perspective view of an operating table 200 with the operating table column 100 shown in FIG. 1. From the operating table column 100, only the second head part 110b is partially visible. The column part 102 and the power supply unit 106 of the operating table column 100 arranged on the column part 102 are covered by a shroud 204. The of the disguise 204 covered components of the operating table column are arranged on a foot 206 of the operating table 200. Referring to FIG. 1 and 3 The head part 104 of the operating table column 100 serves to connect a patient support surface 202 of the operating table 200 to the head part 104. The second rotation axis 108b running inside the head part 104 is in FIG. 3 shown. In a Kantungsbewegung the second head part 110b about the second axis of rotation 108b, the patient support surface 202 is moved accordingly. The lifting movement of the patient support surface 202 is effected by the actuator 112 of the operating table column 100.

Gemäß Figur 1 und 3 werden die Schlauchabschnitte 118a, 118b, die von der Energieversorgungseinheit 106 in Richtung der Patientenlagerfläche 202 verlaufen, durch ein von dem zweiten Kopfteilelement 110b gebildeten Gehäuse und die Verkleidung 204 vollständig abgedeckt. Somit ist ein robuster Betrieb des Operationstisches 200 ohne die Verwendung zusätzlicher Schutzschläuche möglich. Ferner müssen die vollständig abgedeckten Schlauchabschnitte 118a, 118b nicht aufwändig gereinigt werden.According to FIG. 1 and 3 For example, the tube sections 118a, 118b, which extend from the power supply unit 106 in the direction of the patient support surface 202, are completely covered by a housing formed by the second head section element 110b and the covering 204. Thus, robust operation of the operating table 200 is possible without the use of additional protective hoses. Furthermore, the completely covered tube sections 118a, 118b do not have to be laboriously cleaned.

Die vorliegende Erfindung schafft eine geschickte Anordnung des Schlauchabschnittes 118a nahe der auch als Neigungsachse bezeichneten ersten Drehachse 108a und nahe der auch als Kantungsachse bezeichneten zweiten Drehachse 108b. Dadurch wird eine sehr kurze Leitungsführung des Schlauchabschnittes 118a ermöglicht. Die Anordnung des Kardangelenkes mit einem Höhenunterschied der Kantungs- und Neigungsachse 108b, 108a von maximal 60mm führt bei der in Figur 1 gezeigten Anordnung zu einer sehr sicheren Funktion.The present invention provides a clever arrangement of the tube portion 118a near the first axis of rotation 108a, also referred to as the inclination axis, and near the second axis of rotation 108b, also referred to as the angle axis. This allows a very short routing of the tube section 118a. The arrangement of the universal joint with a height difference of the canting and tilting axis 108b, 108a of a maximum of 60mm leads to the in FIG. 1 shown arrangement to a very safe function.

Im Folgenden werden die Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Operationstischsäule 100 zusammengefasst. In dem ersten Kopfteilelement 110a ist zumindest eine Aussparung 126 vorgesehen, so dass bei einer Verstellbewegung des zweiten Kopfteilelements 110b um die Kantungsachse 108b ein Abquetschen des Schlauchabschnittes 118a durch den besonders geformten Rahmenabschnitt 122a des ersten Kopfteilelements 110a bei einem Winkel um die Waagerechte der Kantungsachse 108b von 0° bis 25° bei dieser Anordnung nicht stattfindet. Durch die geschickte Anordnung des mindestens einen Schlauchabschnittes 118a wird es ermöglicht, jeden Schlauchabschnitt innerhalb der Verkleidungen zu verlegen. Im Gegensatz dazu ist dies bei bekannten Operationstischen nicht möglich. Gemäß dem Stand der Technik müssen die Leitungen typischerweise von einem Faltenbalg oder einem Schutzschlauch umhüllt werden, um die hohen Verstellleistungen zu erreichen. Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird die Abdeckfunktion insbesondere von dem durch das zweite Kopfteilelement 110b gebildete Gehäuse übernommen, das auch die Last der Patientenlagerfläche 202 aufnimmt. Das Fenster 132 ist in der Höhe derart angeordnet, dass die Verkleidung 204 das Fenster 132 vollständig abdeckt. Die Schlauchabschnitte 118a, 118b können von der Energieversorgungseinheit 106 unter der Verkleidung 204 durch das Fenster 132 innerhalb der äußeren Hubführung 128 durch die beidseitigen Aussparungen 124a, 124b nahe der ersten Drehachse 108a verlegt werden. Dabei sind die Schlauchabschnitte durch die erfindungsgemäß hohe Anordnung des Fensters 132 vor dem Abscheren durch die beweglichen Säulenteilelemente 130a, 130b der in der Hubführung 128 integrierten Teleskopanordnung geschützt. Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird die mindestens eine Aussparung 124a im Deckelelement 114 des für den Hubantrieb vorgesehenen Aktuators 112 angebracht. Durch diese vorteilhafte Anordnung wird keine Bauhöhe verschenkt. Im Gegensatz dazu wird bei bekannten Operationstischen ein Bauraum von mindestens 40mm in der Höhe zwischen der Patientenlagerfläche und dem Gehäuse des Kopfteils für die flexible Verlegung des Schlauches verschenkt.The advantages of the operating table column 100 according to the invention are summarized below. At least one recess 126 is provided in the first head part element 110a, so that during an adjustment movement of the second head part element 110 b does not take place about the tilting axis 108 b squeezing of the tube portion 118 a by the specially shaped frame portion 122 a of the first head portion member 110 a at an angle about the horizontal of the Kantungsachse 108 b from 0 ° to 25 ° in this arrangement. The clever arrangement of the at least one tube section 118a makes it possible to lay each tube section within the panels. In contrast, this is not possible with known operating tables. According to the prior art, the lines typically have to be enveloped by a bellows or a protective tube in order to achieve the high adjustment performance. According to the present invention, the covering function is taken over in particular by the housing formed by the second head part element 110b, which also receives the load of the patient support surface 202. The window 132 is height-arranged such that the trim 204 completely covers the window 132. The tube sections 118a, 118b may be laid by the power supply unit 106 under the panel 204 through the window 132 within the outer lift guide 128 through the two-sided recesses 124a, 124b near the first axis of rotation 108a. The tube sections are protected by the high arrangement of the window 132 according to the invention from shearing off by the movable column subelements 130a, 130b of the telescopic arrangement integrated in the lifting guide 128. According to the present invention, the at least one recess 124a is mounted in the cover element 114 of the actuator 112 provided for the lifting drive. By this advantageous arrangement no height is wasted. In contrast, in known operating tables a space of at least 40mm in height between the patient support surface and the housing of the head part for the flexible laying of the hose is given away.

Für den Anwender ergibt sich der erfindungsgemäße Vorteil, dass der Schlauch nicht im Freien verlegt wird und nicht extra gereinigt werden muss. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist kostengünstiger, da Elektroleitungen oder Druckschläuche ohne besondere teure Vorkehrungen wie Schutzschläuche verwendet werden können.For the user, the advantage according to the invention results that the hose is not laid outdoors and does not need to be specially cleaned. The inventive Solution is more cost effective, as electric cables or pressure hoses can be used without special expensive precautions like protective hoses.
