As a result, the piston of the first hydraulic cylinder 32 and the piston of the (downstream) second hydraulic cylinder 34 each move out of their end stops Fig. 6 to the right or in the first piston movement direction 102. Thus, a synchronization of the hydraulic cylinders 32, 34 in the first piston movement direction 102 can be achieved.
  • a synchronization of the hydraulic cylinders 32, 34 in the second piston movement direction 104 can be achieved with the aid of a correspondingly reverse procedure.
  • the synchronization of the synchronism of the hydraulic cylinders 32, 34 ie, the two double-acting hydraulic cylinders are always moving the same.
  • the above procedure can also be repeated.
  • the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art.
  • In the storage area of a known operating table usually four hydraulic cylinders, two each for the adjustment of the back plate and two each for the adjustment of the leg plate are arranged.
  • To supply them with hydraulic pressure usually two hoses per cylinder are necessary, which must be routed from the valves in the column or foot of the table to the cylinders.
  • a plurality of valve units and hydraulic hoses are arranged in the column.
  • the hydraulic unit is located in the foot of this operating table.
  • a hose line of eight hoses runs in the column head, where the package is divided into four tubes for the left side spar and four tubes for the right side spar.
  • This is disadvantageous in that a total of eight hoses from the column in the side rails of the bearing surface of the known operating table must be performed and must be carried especially in a longitudinal displacement of a patient support surface of the known operating table.
  • the known operating table has the disadvantage that it is relatively difficult to lay the hose package consisting of a total of eight hoses in a loop in order to compensate for a longitudinal displacement of the patient support surface, the travel of the longitudinal displacement can.
  • Embodiments of the present invention provide a hydraulically adjustable bearing surface of an operating table. It is advantageous that the valves or valve units can be accommodated directly where they are needed For example, a valve in each side rail 72, 74, one for the back and one for the leg plate.
  • a third valve 46 for a Beinplattensonderfunktion in particular for synchronizing the synchronization of the hydraulic cylinder system may be provided in the bearing surface 14. Since the cylinders, which are controlled by the respective valve, are arranged both in the first side rail and in the second side rail, it is advantageous to provide a hose connection 61 between the side rails 72, 74. It is advantageous that this tubing 61 is stationary between the bars 72, 74 and moves with a longitudinal displacement actuation.
  • the hydraulic connection between hydraulic unit 16 and bearing surface 14 is realized by means of a pressure 103 and a tank line 103, which are guided on one side of the bearing surface 14 in a serving as a compensation arc loop into the column 12.
  • the arrangement according to the invention makes it possible to use the installation space in the column 12 for the hydraulic unit 16.
  • a hydraulic unit in the foot 2 can be omitted, whereby it can be made lower.
  • the space situation is relaxed there for other assemblies.
  • the hydraulic unit can only be connected to the bearing surface 14 by means of two hoses (pressure and tank line). Savings potential here is not only the saving of hose lines but also a significant space gain because of the thinner hose package.
  • the loop for bridging the longitudinal displacement path 11 can be implemented only with two hoses 101, 103.
  • the usual installation of the hydraulic lines to bridge the longitudinal displacement path 11 with eight lines only under high installation space and installation costs is possible.
  • the path between the check valves and the cylinders can be minimized. It is true that the longer the distance between a check valve and a hydraulic cylinder, the softer the system and the more difficult is it to vent. The proximity or short distance between the check valve and the hydraulic cylinder helps to optimize the system for rigidity.
  • a modular table system can be constructed.
  • the hydraulic unit 16 is located in the column 12 and includes, in addition to a motor-pump unit, also the valves for actuating the column (eg for stroke, tilt and inclination).
  • Further hydraulic functions of the table can be used in the foot, in particular for foot placement and extension of the traction drive. be realized in the column head in particular for the longitudinal displacement and in the bearing surface in particular for the back and the leg operation. It was recognized that the valve technology for the modules foot, column, column head and bearing surface can be separated and accommodated in the respective assemblies.
  • a kit which allows to dispense with individual functions or to install, without the hydraulic system must be changed.
