Description

« Dispositif de manutention d'un équipement médical supporté par une structure articulée » La présente invention concerne les équipements médicaux supportés par une structure articulée du type comprenant au moins un dispositif déverrouillage de blocage de la structure articulée en une position choisie. “Device for handling medical equipment supported by an articulated structure” The present invention relates to medical equipment supported by an articulated structure of the type comprising at least one unlocking device for blocking the articulated structure in a chosen position.
Parmi les équipements médicaux, les dispositifs d'éclairage, notamment de blocs opératoires, ont été les premiers à être supportés par des structures articulées, généralement suspendues. Ces dispositifs d'éclairage ont été très tôt pourvus d'organes de manutention et de dispositifs de blocage de la structure articulée en une position choisie, ces organes et dispositifs étant distincts ou avantageusement combinés, comme décrits dans le document US-A-5, 165, 786, au nom de la demanderesse.Among medical equipment, lighting devices, particularly in operating theaters, were the first to be supported by articulated structures, generally suspended. These lighting devices were very early on provided with handling members and devices for blocking the articulated structure in a chosen position, these members and devices being distinct or advantageously combined, as described in document US-A-5, 165, 786, in the name of the plaintiff.
Par la suite de nombreux équipements, notamment de surveillance de patients ou d'assistance respiratoire, ont été disposés in situ sur des plates- formes de structure articulées, également avantageusement suspendues au plafond, comme décrits dans le document EP-A-0 969 241 , également au nom de la demanderesse. Ces derniers équipements peuvent comporter, comme les dispositifs d'éclairage suspendus, des dispositifs déverrouillables de blocage en position de la structure articulée, mais qui sont généralement regroupés pour commander les différentes articulations, et d'accès parfois peu aisé.Subsequently, numerous pieces of equipment, in particular for monitoring patients or respiratory assistance, were placed in situ on articulated structure platforms, also advantageously suspended from the ceiling, as described in document EP-A-0 969 241. , also on behalf of the plaintiff. The latter equipment can include, like suspended lighting devices, unlockable devices for locking in position of the articulated structure, but which are generally grouped together to control the various articulations, and which are sometimes difficult to access.
La présente invention a pour objet de proposer des perfectionnements aux équipements médicaux supportés par une structure articulée, et, notamment, des dispositifs, simples et ergonomiques, de manutention de ces équipements supportés, facilitant leur déplacement individuel, comprenant en outre un actionneur manuel individuel permettant de verrouiller/déverrouiller l'articulation du support de cet équipement particulier.The object of the present invention is to propose improvements to the medical equipment supported by an articulated structure, and, in particular, simple and ergonomic devices for handling this supported equipment, facilitating their individual movement, further comprising an individual manual actuator allowing to lock / unlock the articulation of the support of this particular equipment.
Pour ce faire, selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif de manutention comprend une poignée rigide sensiblement en forme d'arc de cercle fixée par ses extrémités à un élément de l'équipement et comportant, sur sa face externe, au moins un actionneur manuel, typiquement de commande fluidique. Selon -d'autres caractéristiques de cette invention : - l'équipement est supporté par une structure de bras suspendue, typiquement par une colonne verticale suspendue elle-même à un bras, à débattement horizontal et/ou vertical, de la structure articulée ; - le dispositif de blocage comprend au moins un dispositif de freinage agissant sur un axe d'articulation de la structure articulée ; etTo do this, according to a characteristic of the invention, the handling device comprises a rigid handle substantially in the form of an arc of a circle fixed by its ends to an element of the equipment and comprising, on its external face, at least one manual actuator, typically fluid control. According to other characteristics of this invention: the equipment is supported by a suspended arm structure, typically by a vertical column itself suspended from an arm, with horizontal and / or vertical movement, of the articulated structure; - The locking device comprises at least one braking device acting on an axis of articulation of the articulated structure; and
- l'actionneur comprend au moins une membrane deformable pour générer une impulsion fluidique, déclencher un interrupteur pneumatique, ou déclencher un interrupteur électrique.- The actuator comprises at least one deformable membrane to generate a fluidic pulse, trigger a pneumatic switch, or trigger an electric switch.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description suivante de modes de réalisation particuliers, donnés à titre- illustratif mais non limitatif, faite en relation avec les dessins sur lesquels : - la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un mode de réalisation d'une architecture d'équipements médicaux selon l'invention ; etOther characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the following description of particular embodiments, given by way of illustration but not limitation, made in relation to the drawings in which: - Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a medical equipment architecture according to the invention; and
- la figure 2 est une vue schématique partielle du dessus de la poignée à actionneurs manuels de la figure 1.FIG. 2 is a partial schematic view from above of the handle with manual actuators of FIG. 1.
Dans la description qui va suivre et sur les dessins, les éléments identiques portent les mêmes chiffres de référence.In the following description and in the drawings, identical elements bear the same reference numbers.
Sur la figure 1 , on reconnaît une structure articulée de support d'équipements médicaux comprenant un socle supérieur 1 , fixé typiquement à un plafond de salle d'hôpital ou de clinique, dans lequel tourillonne un axe vertical supérieur 2 supportant, dans l'exemple représenté, un bras supérieur 3, lui- même supportant de façon articulée un bras inférieur 4 supportant, à son extrémité libre, une colonne verticale 5 sur laquelle sont montés, superposés, un premier appareil médical 6 et un bloc étagères 7 comportant au moins deux surfaces horizontales ou plateaux pour recevoir, de façon amovible, des appareils médicaux, tels que le moniteur 8 représenté sur la figure 1. L'axe vertical d'articulation entre la colonne 5 et le bras inférieur 4 comportent un dispositif de freinage/blocage 9, typiquement du type à embrayage à actionnement par fluide, notamment par air comprimé. Typiquement au moins l'axe vertical d'articulation entre le bras supérieur 3 et inférieur 4 comporte également un dispositif de freinage/blocage 10 capable de solidariser temporairement les deux bras.In Figure 1, there is an articulated structure for supporting medical equipment comprising an upper base 1, typically attached to a ceiling of a hospital or clinic room, in which pivots an upper vertical axis 2 supporting, in the example shown, an upper arm 3, itself articulated supporting a lower arm 4 supporting, at its free end, a vertical column 5 on which are mounted, superimposed, a first medical device 6 and a shelf unit 7 comprising at least two horizontal surfaces or trays for removably receiving medical devices, such as the monitor 8 shown in FIG. 1. The vertical axis of articulation between the column 5 and the lower arm 4 comprises a braking / blocking device 9 , typically of the clutch type with fluid actuation, in particular by compressed air. Typically at least the vertical axis of articulation between the upper 3 and lower 4 arm also includes a braking / locking device 10 capable of temporarily securing the two arms.
Selon un aspect de l'invention, au moins le dispositif de freinage 9 commandant la rotation de la colonne 5 par rapport au bras inférieur 4 est commandable par un actionneur à membrane deformable 11 disposé sur une poignée rigide 12 sensiblement en forme d'arc de cercle fixée sur ses extrémités sur la face avant de l'étagère 7, et réalisée en métal léger ou en matériau plastique rigide.According to one aspect of the invention, at least the braking device 9 controlling the rotation of the column 5 relative to the lower arm 4 is controllable by a deformable membrane actuator 11 disposed on a rigid handle 12 substantially in the shape of an arc of circle fixed on its ends on the front face of the shelf 7, and made of light metal or rigid plastic material.
Comme figuré schématiquement sur la figure 2, l'actionneur à membrane deformable 11 est relié opérativement, par une ligne 13, à une unité 14 de commande du dispositif de freinage associé 9. La dépression de la membrane deformable de l'actionneur 11 peut ainsi soit générer une impulsion fluidique ou déclencher un interrupteur pneumatique, les signaux fluidiques étant transformés en signaux électriques ou hydrauliques/pneumatiques par l'unité de commande 14, soit déclencher directement un actionneur ou interrupteur électrique. On comprendra qu'avec l'agencement selon l'invention, l'ensemble de la structure suspendue au socle 1 peut être aisément déplacée à la main en agrippant la poignée profilée 12 permettant d'exercer des efforts de poussée ou de traction dans toutes les directions puis, une fois les appareils 6 et 8 positionnés en position voulue pour l'opérateur, une pression sur l'actionneur 11 bloque le dispositif de freinage 9, une pression sur l'actionneur 11' bloquant le dispositif de freinage 10 et immobilisant ainsi la structure suspendue dans la position adoptée.As shown schematically in FIG. 2, the deformable membrane actuator 11 is operatively connected, by a line 13, to a unit 14 for controlling the associated braking device 9. The depression of the deformable membrane of the actuator 11 can thus either generate a fluidic pulse or trigger a pneumatic switch, the fluidic signals being transformed into electrical or hydraulic / pneumatic signals by the control unit 14, or directly trigger an electric actuator or switch. It will be understood that with the arrangement according to the invention, the entire structure suspended from the base 1 can be easily moved by hand by gripping the profiled handle 12 making it possible to exert pushing or pulling forces in all directions then, once the devices 6 and 8 are positioned in the position desired for the operator, pressing the actuator 11 blocks the braking device 9, pressing the actuator 11 'blocking the braking device 10 and thus immobilizing the structure suspended in the adopted position.
A tout moment, cette position peut être modifiée en ré-appuyant sur l'un ou l'autre des actionneurs 11 et 11' pour libérer le dispositif de freinage avant de re-bloquer éventuellement ultérieurement la structure dans une autre position choisie. En variante, un seul interrupteur 11 ou 11' peut être utilisé pour contrôler l'ensemble des dispositifs de freinage. En variante également, les deux interrupteurs 11 et 11' peuvent être couplés et utilisés conjointement pour sécuriser les manoeuvres. La présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits. En particulier, selon la nature et la complexité de l'équipement médical suspendu, la poignée avec son actionneur manuel peut être fixée sur toute partie en saillie de cet équipement, y compris solidarisée à un appareil monté à demeure sur la structure articulée. Elle convient tout particulièrement aux structures articulées suspendues comprenant plusieurs bras supportant chacun des colonnes de support d'appareil ou d'équipement. At any time, this position can be modified by re-pressing one or the other of the actuators 11 and 11 'to release the braking device before possibly re-locking the structure later in another chosen position. Alternatively, a single switch 11 or 11 'can be used to control all of the braking devices. Alternatively also, the two switches 11 and 11 'can be coupled and used together to secure the maneuvers. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described. In particular, depending on the nature and complexity of the suspended medical equipment, the handle with its manual actuator can be fixed to any projecting part of this equipment, including secured to a device permanently mounted on the articulated structure. It is particularly suitable for suspended articulated structures comprising several arms each supporting columns for supporting apparatus or equipment.
