Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a treatment table, e.g., a treatment table for therapeutic treatment with adjustable height.
  • US 2014/0331409 discloses a therapeutic treatment table comprising a platform for supporting a patient and a frame to which the platform is mounted.
  • the frame is adapted for movement of the platform between a lowered and raised position.
  • a plurality of pairs of up and down switches are provided at various locations around the table and operatively connected to a drive motor. The switches can be mounted on the front side, rear side and opposite lateral sides of the treatment table.
  • EP 2 181 685 A2 discloses a patient support comprising a frame, a deck supported by the frame, an actuator configured to move at least one of a portion of the frame and a portion of the deck, a plurality of electrical foot-operated controls supported by the frame, each of the controls including a control member configured to move between first and second positions, a sensor, and a contact member, when at least one of the control members moves to the first position, the contact member contacts the sensor and the sensor initiates movement of the actuator.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a treatment table which is easier to operate.
  • the one or more sensors can for example include one or more load sensors, such as load cells and/or strain gauges.
  • the control handle is linked to the one or more load cells by means of one or more elastic elements, such as a spring, e.g., one spring per load cell.
  • the elastic element preloads the load cell.
  • the pretension causes the load cell to generate an output signal representing a zero point for the position of the actuator. Movement of the control handle is translated into a change of the output signal. Pushing the control handle down will result in an increased output signal, while lifting the control handle will result in a reduced output signal.
  • This change of output signal can be translated by the control unit to control signals controlling the actuator. For example, pushing the control handle down may result in a control signal triggering the actuator to lift the treatment bed, while lifting the control handle will result in a control signal triggering the actuator to lower the treatment bed.
  • pushing the control handle down may result in a control signal triggering the actuator to lower the treatment bed, while lifting the control handle will result in a control signal triggering the actuator to lift the treatment bed.
  • the control handle When the control handle is released, it will return to the starting position, while the treatment bed stays in the lifted or lowered position until the control handle is actuated again.
  • the change of the load cell's output signal is proportional to the travel distance of the control handle.
  • the proportionality of the output signal can be used to configure the control unit to power the actuator proportionally to a load exerted to the control handle by an operator and/or proportional to a distance of displacement by the control handle. For instance, a higher load or a larger displacement of the control handle may result in a faster height adjustment of the treatment table.
  • the treatment bed is always lifted or lower with the same speed, independent from the load exerted to the load cell.
  • the suspension of the control handle from the frame can for example further comprise damping elements in parallel arrangement with the resilient element supporting the load cell.
  • the damping elements may for example be rubber elements or elements of a rubber-like material, e.g., cylindrical or non-cylindrical vibration dampers.
  • an extended control handle such as a bar, e.g. a foot control bar, can be suspended from the frame by a plurality of such vibration dampers and by one or more load cells.
  • the dampers are at a distance from the one or more load cells and have a stiffness exceeding the stiffness of the spring element, so the movement of the actuator is determined by the resistance of the dampers and not by the resistance of the spring elements.
  • the frame has a base to be placed on a floor, e.g., a single foot or a set of feet, optionally provided with retractable wheels.
  • the control handle may for example be a foot control bar to be operated by a user's foot.
  • the control handle may for example be a bar extending substantially horizontally along at least one side of the frame, e.g., extending along all the full contour of the frame, e.g. at foot level allowing foot control. This enables an operator to adjust the table height regardless of the operator's position. The operator can push or lift the control bar equally from all sides of the treatment table.
  • control handle is a rectangular foot control bar accessible from all sides of the treatment bed, suspended centrally to a stationary part of the treatment bed by means of the load sensor and the resilient element, and suspended at or near the corners by means of the dampers, e.g., at least one damper per corner.
  • a treatment table comprising a height adjustable frame, a treatment bed supported by the frame, an actuator for moving the frame between an upper position and a lower position, and a control handle extending substantially horizontally along at least one side of the frame, e.g., extending along the full contour of the frame, e.g. as a rectangular frame.
  • the control handle may be a foot control bar.
  • the control handle may be suspended from the frame by means of damping elements, e.g., of a rubber or a rubber-like material, e.g., as discussed above.
  • Figure 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a treatment table 1.
  • the treatment table 1 comprises a frame 3 with a stationary base 5 and a height adjustable foldable support 7, an actuator 9 for moving the height adjustable support 7 between an upper position (shown in Figure 2 ) and a lower position (shown in Figure 1).
  • Figure 1 shows the lower position.
  • the treatment table 1 also comprises a bed 11 for carrying a person to be treated.
  • a rectangular foot control bar 13 extends along the full contour of the treatment table 1 at a distance below the bed 11 to enable foot control by an operator.
  • the rectangular foot control bar 13 comprises a central projection 12 suspended from the stationary base 5 of the frame 3 by means of a resilient element 14, such as a tensile spring (see Figure 3 ), in turn suspended from a control box 16 by means of a load cell 17.
  • the control box 16 is programmed to receive output signals from the load cell 17 and to generate control signals for triggering the actuator 19.
  • the foot control bar 13 is also suspended from the frame 5 by four cylindrical dampers 20, i.e. one damper 20 per corner, substantially symmetrically arranged relative to the load sensor. In other embodiments, other numbers of dampers can be used. These dampers have a stiffness exceeding the stiffness of the resilient element 14, so the movement of the control bar 13 is determined by the resistance of the dampers and not by the resistance of the resilient element 14. As a result movement of any point of the control bar 13 is detected accurately by the load cell 17. Actuation of the control bar 13 at any point will stress the load cell 17 and trigger the control unit 16 in the same manner.
  • the actuator 9 comprises an electric motor.
  • the control box 16 communicates with the electric motor 9 via a signal conductor 19 ( Figure 4 ).
  • the control box 16 is configured to control the electric motor 9 in response to signals from the load cell 17 detecting actuation of the foot control bar 13.
  • the electric motor 9 folds the support 7 to lower the bed 11 ( Figure 1 ) or unfolds the support 7 to lift the bed 11 ( Figure 2 ).
  • the load cell 17 is pre-tensioned by the spring 14 and the weight of the foot control bar 13. Pushing the foot control bar 13 enlarges the output signal of the load cell 17. Lifting the foot control bar 13 reduces the output signal of the load cell 17. Upon operating the foot control bar 13 the load cell 17 sends a signal to the control box 16. Lifting the foot control bar 13 results in a reduced output signal triggering the electric motor 9 to lower the bed 11. Pushing the foot control bar 13 down results in an amplified signal triggering the electric motor 9 to lift the bed 11.
  • control box 16 can be configured such that the powering of the actuator 9 is proportional to the actuation force exerted to the foot control bar 13.
  • the output signal of the load cell 17 is proportional to the movement of the foot control bar 13: a larger travel distance by the foot control bar 13 results in a larger change of the output signal from the load cell 17.
  • the control box 16 can be programmed to translate this to varying control signals to the electric motor 19. If an operator wishes to lift or lower the bed 3 faster, he may exert a higher actuation force to the foot control bar 6.
  • the spring 14 may be biased into a rest condition such that at that condition the actual load on the load cell 17 is a reference condition. Due to wear the reference condition may shift during lifetime, but the control box 16 can be configured such that it automatically corrects the reference condition when the treatment table 1 is in rest.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawings uses a single load sensor 17.
  • more than one load sensors may be used, e.g., to allow calculation of the actually exerted actuation force, regardless of the distance between the point of actuation and the load cell.
  • Figures 6 - 9 show the combination of the stationary frame base 5 and the foot control bar 13.
  • the frame base 5 comprises two parallel supports 22, 23 with a larger front leg 24, a shorter rear leg 25 and an inclined section 26 bridging the top ends of the front and rear legs 24, 25. These inclined sections 26 are in turn bridged by a rear bar 27, a front bar 28 and a suspension plate 29 between the rear and front bars.
  • the control box 16 is suspended from a lower side of the suspension plate 29, as is particularly shown in Figure 7 .
  • the foot control bar 13 (see Figure 3 ) comprises a U-shaped front section 31 of a metal strip, a U-shaped rear section 32 of a metal strip, two parallel side bars 33, 34 extending between the front and rear sections 31, 32 and traverse sections 35, each traverse section connecting an outer end of the front or rear section to an outer end of the side bars 33, 34 so as to form a rectangular frame.
  • a third bar 36 also connects the front and rear sections 31, 32 and is provided with the upward central projection 12 suspended from the load cell 17, as described above.
  • Figure 10 shows one of the cylindrical dampers 20 suspending the control bar 13.
  • the damper 20 has one end 40 connected to the base frame 5 and an opposite second end 41 connected to a vertical lip 42 by means of a nut 43.
  • the lip 42 has a lower end connected to the foot control bar 13 and a top end 44 bent under right angles. This bent top end 44 functions as a stop in cooperation with a lip 45 of the base frame 5. This limits downward movement of the foot control bar 13 relative to the base frame 5. Upward movement is limited by the frame 5 stopping the foot control bar 13.
