[Genus ^ Ming Nei sol ^] By providing a foot control switch with adjustable pedal and switch settings, the present invention improves the conventional foot control switch for surgical operations. With this, the foot switch 5 is more ergonomically targeted at different users. One of the main objects of the present invention is to provide a surgical foot control switch which can be adjusted to fit different sizes of feet. Another object of the present invention is to provide an ergonomic and adjustable foot switch for surgical operation. 10 The invention is re-invented-one object is to provide-a surgical foot control switch with adjustable switch. The description and other advantages and purposes of this article by Maoming will be clearer and clearer in the following detailed description and the scope of patent application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a surgical foot switch of the present invention. Figures 2A and 2C are enlarged plan views of the foot switch of the present invention, and the adjustability of the Wei Ming switch. Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of a foot switch in a thoracic surgery, illustrating a combined view of a side switch. Figs. 4A-4B are plan views below the side switch of the foot control switch of the present invention, which is illustrated by Gu Shizheng, which illustrates the operation of the rotation lock mechanism. Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the foot switch of the present invention. An exploded and assembled view of a heel cup sliding adjustment mechanism used in the foot control switch of the present invention. 6 5 Figure m_7B is used for the upper part of the heel cup of the foot control switcher of the present invention, and illustrates the operation of the sliding heel cup adjusting mechanism. The top view of the chat switch according to the present invention, which is similar to FIG. 6, explains the operation of the pedal rotation. FIG. Is a bottom plan view of the pedal switcher for use in the drawing. FIG. 1 is a foot control switcher of the present invention. A figure W is the position of the pivot point of the pedal of the foot switch of the present invention at the foot of the user. 1 ^ Plan view, which is a relative view ΗA-11B is the operation view of the rotation lock of the foot control switch board of the present invention, and the description of step U is a top plan view of the foot switch of the present invention, and its view is similar to the figure , But explain the rotation of the heel cup. FIG. 13 is an exploded combination view of the _following cup rotation mechanism. 15 FIG. 14 is a bottom plan view of the foot control switch of the present invention. Description of its load resistance Figures 15A-15C are cross-sectional views of the foot switch of the present invention. [Embodiment] 20 As shown in FIG. 1, the foot control switch ⑺ of the present invention generally includes a slit 14 with a heel cup 16 and a side or side switch a, which can be adjusted by any suitable method. w made of materials such as steel, titanium or plastic. Base I: Protective bumper 20 made of fortunate elastomer material. As shown in the best display of 2A-2C, 3 and 4A_4B, the side switch 18 can be inwardly ⑽ 2 戦 outwardly (adjusted in Fig. 20 in order to increase or decrease the distance between the switches ^ and meet various user chats.度。 Degree. This adjustment is achieved by 7 push-lock buttons 22, so that the fixed lock pin 24 on the base 12 is released from the detent 26 in the switch 18 and by the lock 28 on the base 12 When the button 22 is released, the spring 32 pushes the catch 26 toward the locking pin 24, so the switch 18 is maintained at the same locking position, as shown by 5 in Figures 2B and 2C. The relative position of the switcher 18 can be determined visually by using the switcher position indicator 34. As shown in the best display in FIGS. 5, 6, and 7A-7B, the length of the pedal 14 is by sliding the heel cup 16 6. As best shown in FIG. 6, the pedal 14 is fixed to the pedal bottom 36 via a thrust shaft 丞 38, thereby allowing the pedal 14 to pivot about the shaft 40. The heel cup slider 42 is received on the pedal μ and includes a lock bar talent 44 which is held on the heel cup slide 42 by a fastener 46. The lock pin 牦 is passed through a shaft 50 is held in the lock lever 44. The lock pin 48 is a lock pin hole 52 that is biased into the pedal 14 by a spring 54 that is pushed toward the lock pin fastener 56. In this manner, the lock lever The pushing of 44 causes the locking pin 48 to come out of the locking pin hole 52 and 5 and causes the heel cup slider 42 to slide along the hole 58 of the pedal 14 in the longitudinal direction, as described in FIGS. 7A-7B. Compared to the pedal 14, The relative position of the heel cup 16 can be visually displayed by the private display 60. Except, the pedal 14 may include a raised reference point 62 indicating the center of the pedal 14. Then the width and length adjustments are preferably made such that The foot control switch 10 is adjusted to a width and length Y which is suitable for the 5th place from the 20th percentile for women to the 95th place for the male percentile. Whether or not shoes are used, as shown in the best display in FIG. 10, the feet The 100 ankle rotation axis 65 is located behind the pivot rotation axis 68 of the pedal 14. This is for all pedal lengths. Another segment is shown in Figures 8 and 9A and 9B for the best display. The thrust bearing 38 rotates and counter-rotates in order to operate the left-right switcher 64 mounted on the pedal base% 8 200410060. The return spring 66 enables The plate 14 is automatically located in the center after turning. As shown best in Figures 11A & 11B. The pedal base 36 includes an alignment pin 70 that is inserted into the hole 72 of the base 12 when the pedal 14 is stopped without rotating. A structure, when the pedal is in a stopped position (Figure_ilA), 5 prevents the pedal 14 from turning to the action of the switch 64, but when the pedal 14 is pressed or rotated, the pedal 14 is allowed to rotate. As shown in FIGS. 12-13, the heel cup 16 is provided on the heel cup slider 42 by using the thrust bearing 74, the alignment cap 76 and the bolt 82. Such a structure causes the heel cup 16 to rotate without relying on any rotation of the pedal 14, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9A, 9B. 10, and when the pedal is stopped and rotatably locked (Fig. 11A), the side is switched.器 18operative. A return lever 78 provided on the heel cup 16 acts on the return spring 80 to provide the heel cup 16 to be automatically centered when stopped. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15A-15C, the bottom 85 of the base 12 is preferably covered with a higher friction polymer (eg, VERSAFLEX TPE) material 84, and I5 includes a plurality of retractable and gravity-resistant springs. The plug foot 86 is made of a low-friction polymer material (such as Delrn②Acetal Resin). As shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, when there is no weight on the foot control switch 10, the loaded spring plug 86 protrudes a short distance D (such as 0.004 inches) beyond the bottom material, and thus contacts the floor and The foot control switch 10 is made to slide easily on the lower friction force plug tip 88. As shown in Fig. 15C, when the weight is placed on the foot switch 10, the plug% retracts, and the high-friction bottom 84 contacts the floor, thus making the foot switch 10 more difficult to slide when in use. The description of the month's description is for illustration and explanation purposes. It is obvious that the present invention is improved in the related technologies of the invention, but these descriptions do not depart from the scope and spirit of the invention.
