The drive rod 262 passes through the drive block 263 to drive the drive block 263 to run. The drive motor 261 is electrically connected to the circuit board 13 to receive control signals from the circuit board 13.

[0035] The support assembly 3 includes a support plate 30, a left connecting plate 31, a right connecting plate 32, a left side shell 33, a right side shell 34, and a mounting plate 303, a front cover 35, and a rear cover 36. One side of the support plate 30 is snapped into the left connecting plate 31, and the other side is snapped into the right connecting plate 32. The left side shell 33 is snapped into the left connecting plate 31, and the right side shell 34 is snapped into the right connecting plate 32. This snap-fit ​​connection improves the ease of installation and disassembly of the support assembly 3. The front cover 35 and the rear cover 36 are respectively located at both ends of the support plate 30. Both the front cover 35 and the rear cover 36 are snapped into the support plate 30, the left connecting plate 31, the right connecting plate 32, the left side shell 33, and the right side shell 34.

The mounting plate 303 is received in the mounting groove 302, and the circuit board 13 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 303.

[0037] During operation, pressing button 12 on the armrest 23 sends a signal to the button panel 14. The circuit board 13 receives this signal and sends a command to the drive motor 261, causing it to rotate at maximum speed. The drive motor 261 drives the drive rod 262 to extend and retract, thereby moving the drive block 263 along the second sliding groove 301. The movement of the drive block 263 causes the connecting piece 22 to move. Under the driving force, the rolling element 25 on the other side of the connecting piece 22 rolls along the first sliding groove 300, ensuring linear movement of the entire actuator 2. When the actuator 2 smoothly moves the medical device close to the expected position, pressing button 12 lightly allows the circuit board 13 to control the rotation speed of the drive motor 261 based on the distance button 12 is pressed, ensuring precise control of the displacement distance when approaching the expected position. Upon reaching the designated position, fully releasing button 12 stops the linear drive motor 261. Electric control of the actuator 2's displacement frees up some of the medical staff's time, improving work efficiency and enhancing the accuracy of the actuator 2's displacement.

[0038] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
