Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical devices, and more particularly to a medical hanging device. Background Technology

[0002] One installation method for medical pendants provided by related technologies involves fixing the terminal box or carrier (hereinafter, the terminal box is used as an example) to the main body of the pendant with screws. The electrical and pneumatic piping runs from the terminal box along the main body of the pendant to the ceiling. This installation method has the following drawbacks in practical applications: once the terminal box and the main body of the pendant are installed, medical staff cannot separate them, thus preventing the transfer of the terminal box between different medical pendants. This often leads to a situation where, due to different surgeries, one medical pendant is waiting in line for use while another is left unused.

[0003] Furthermore, with the increasing prevalence of laparoscopic surgery, the use of laparoscopic equipment is becoming more frequent. Some laparoscopic devices used in related technologies are placed on the terminal housing or rack of a medical pendant system, making it difficult to adjust their position. Additionally, in many hospitals, laparoscopic equipment is shared by multiple operating rooms; placing the equipment on the terminal housing or rack of a medical pendant system makes it difficult to quickly move it to other operating rooms. To address this technical problem, some technicians have proposed using specialized mobile carts to carry the laparoscopic equipment for shared use. However, this solution still has the following shortcomings in practical application: 1) The connection between the mobile cart carrying the laparoscopic equipment and the medical pendant is vertical, leading to inaccurate positioning during the connection process. The connection position is not directly visible to the naked eye, making the operation very complex and severely affecting the efficiency of installing and disassembling the mobile cart and the medical pendant system. 2) In addition to the medical pendant with a fixed terminal box or shelf, a special medical pendant is also required in the operating room to dock with the mobile cart carrying the endoscopic equipment, which results in a waste of medical pendant and operating room space. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medical suspension device that aims to solve the technical problem in related technologies where the suspension devices of different medical suspension devices cannot be quickly disassembled and switched.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a medical hanging device, comprising a fixing device and a hanging device;

[0024] In one embodiment, the first docking member is provided with the slot, the second docking member is provided with the insertion body, and the locking mechanism includes a pressing component and a driving assembly. The driving assembly is mounted on the first docking member and connected to the pressing component. The driving assembly is used to drive the pressing component to move so that the pressing component abuts against or disengages from the insertion body.

[0025] In one embodiment, the driving component is a first lifting mechanism for driving the lifting and lowering movement of the pressing component.

[0026] In one embodiment, the first docking member is further equipped with a first high-voltage interface socket, and the second docking member is further equipped with a second high-voltage interface socket for insertion and mating with the first high-voltage interface socket. The first high-voltage interface socket is connected to the pressing member for insertion and removal from the second high-voltage interface socket under the drive of the driving assembly; and / or,

[0027] The first docking member is also equipped with a first low-voltage interface socket, and the second docking member is also equipped with a second low-voltage interface socket for plugging and mating with the first low-voltage interface socket.

[0028] In one embodiment, the fixing device is further provided with a third low-voltage interface socket, and the device to be suspended is further provided with a fourth low-voltage interface socket for plugging and engaging with the third low-voltage interface socket.

[0029] The third low-voltage interface socket is separately disposed from the pressing component, or the third low-voltage interface socket is connected to the pressing component for insertion and removal into the fourth low-voltage interface socket under the drive of the driving assembly.

[0030] In one embodiment, the fixing device is further provided with a first air passage interface seat, and the device to be suspended is further provided with a second air passage interface seat for plugging and connecting with the first air passage interface seat;

[0031] The first air passage interface seat is separately disposed from the pressure-blocking component, or the first air passage interface seat is connected to the pressure-blocking component for insertion and removal into the second air passage interface seat under the drive of the drive assembly.

[0032] In one embodiment, the fixing device further includes a second lifting mechanism, which is used to drive the first docking member to rise and fall, so that the first docking member can be lowered to a position for horizontal docking with the second docking member, and so that the first docking member can drive the second docking member to rise to a position that lifts the device to be suspended off the ground after the first docking member is horizontally inserted into the slot.

[0033] In one implementation, the medical suspension device is a medical pendant tower or a medical suspension bridge, the device to be suspended is a terminal box, a shelf, or a mobile vehicle for carrying medical equipment, and the fixing device is the main body of the pendant tower or the main body of the suspension bridge; or,

[0034] The medical suspension equipment is a medical suspension bridge, the device to be suspended is a terminal box or a carrier or a mobile vehicle for carrying medical equipment, and the fixing device is the main body of the suspension bridge.

[0035] In one embodiment, the bottom of the device to be suspended is provided with a moving wheel assembly for driving the device to be suspended horizontally on the ground.

[0036] In one embodiment, the device to be suspended further includes a drive motor and a second controller. The drive motor is connected to the moving wheel assembly, and the second controller is electrically connected to the drive motor to control the drive motor to drive the moving wheel assembly to move the device to be suspended horizontally on the ground.

[0037] In one embodiment, the first docking member is provided with a distance measuring sensor, which is used to detect the height of the first docking member; and / or,

[0038] The first docking component is equipped with a projection light, which is used to project a light ring downwards towards the first docking component to prompt the operator to clear the items within the light ring area.

[0039] The medical suspension device provided by this invention features a first docking component on a fixing device and a second docking component on the device to be suspended. One of the first and second docking components has a slot, and the other has a connector that can slide horizontally into the slot. A locking mechanism locks the connector in the slot, enabling rapid installation of the device to be suspended on the fixing device. Since the locking mechanism can release the connector from the slot, allowing it to be pulled out, the device to be suspended can still be detached from the fixing device after installation. This allows for quick combination and disassembly of different fixing devices with different devices to be suspended, effectively improving the flexibility of both the fixing and the device to be suspended. It also enables the medical suspension device to switch functions according to different surgeries and allows for sharing of devices to be suspended in the operating room, avoiding resource waste. Furthermore, since the first and second docking parts slide together horizontally, the inaccurate positioning during docking can be avoided because the docking position cannot be seen with the naked eye. This makes the docking operation of the first and second docking parts very simple and convenient, greatly improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly of the hanging device and the fixing device.

Detailed Implementation

[0057] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0058] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0059] It should also be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may be connected to an intermediary component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or indirectly connected to the other component through an intermediary component.

[0060] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this invention is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0061] Example 1:

[0062] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the medical suspension device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes a fixing device 100 and a device to be suspended 200, the device to be suspended 200 being detachably connected to the fixing device 100. The fixing device 100 can be used to position the device to be suspended 200 for suspension and / or movement. The detachable connection between the device to be suspended 200 and the fixing device 100 specifically means that after the device to be suspended 200 is installed on the fixing device 100, it can still be completely disassembled from the fixing device 100 to achieve separation. In this embodiment, by setting the device to be suspended 200 and the fixing device 100 to be detachably connected, the device to be suspended 200 can be removed from one fixing device 100 and transferred to another fixing device 100 for installation and use, improving the flexibility of use of the fixing device 100 and the device to be suspended 200.

[0063] Reference Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing device 100 is provided with a first docking member 110; the device to be suspended 200 is provided with a second docking member 210 for horizontally inserting into the first docking member 110. The first docking member 110 is suspended above the ground 300. The second docking member 210 can be horizontally inserted into the first docking member 110 and horizontally pulled out of the first docking member 110. In this embodiment, the installation and disassembly of the device to be suspended 200 on the fixing device 100 are achieved by horizontally inserting and pulling the second docking member 210 and the first docking member 110 together. Since the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 slide together horizontally, the phenomenon of inaccurate positioning during the docking process due to the docking position not being visible to the naked eye can be avoided, making the docking operation of the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 very convenient and greatly improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly of the device to be suspended 200 and the fixing device 100.

[0064] Reference Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, one of the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 is provided with a slot 111, and the other is provided with a plug-in body 211 (in the figure, the slot 111 is formed on the first docking member 110, and the plug-in body 211 is formed on the second docking member 210 as an example). The plug-in body 211 can be slidably inserted into the slot 111 in the horizontal direction and can be slidably pulled out of the slot 111 in the horizontal direction. The slot 111 provides space to accommodate the plug-in body 211. The plug-in body 211 is used to engage with the slot 111. In this embodiment, horizontal engagement is achieved through the engagement of the slot 111 and the plug-in body 211, which has a simple structure and is easy to install and disassemble.

[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, at least one of the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 is further provided with a locking mechanism 120. The locking mechanism 120 is used to lock the plug-in body 211 in the slot 111 after it is inserted into the slot 111 to prevent the second docking member 210 from moving relative to the first docking member 110. The locking mechanism 120 is also used to release the lock on the plug-in body 211 in the slot 111 so that the plug-in body 211 can be pulled out of the slot 111. In this embodiment, after the plug-in body 211 is inserted into the slot 111, it is locked by the locking mechanism 120, which can ensure that the hanging device 200 and the fixing device 100 do not physically misalign when the hanging device 200 is rotated or shaken, thereby ensuring the stable and reliable connection between the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210. When it is necessary to separate the device to be hoisted from the fixing device 100, the locking mechanism 120 can be used to release the locking of the plug body 211 in the slot 111 so that the plug body 211 can be pulled out from the slot 111, thereby facilitating the rapid separation of the device to be hoisted 200.

[0066] In one implementation, the medical pendant is a medical pendant tower, with the fixing device 100 being the main body of the pendant tower and the device to be suspended 200 being a terminal box, a carrier, or a mobile vehicle for carrying medical equipment. The terminal box can be used to carry terminal components for power and gas supply, or to carry medical equipment such as endoscopes, monitors, ventilators, anesthesia machines, and ultrasound equipment, or to carry displays or other medical supplies. The carrier has at least one platform for carrying medical equipment, displays, or other medical supplies. In this implementation, by providing a first docking member 110 on the pendant tower body, the pendant tower body can be selectively combined with a terminal box with a second docking member 210, a carrier with a second docking member 210, and a mobile vehicle with a second docking member 210. Furthermore, it can be combined with different types of terminal boxes, carriers, and mobile vehicles, greatly improving the flexibility of using the medical pendant tower. Of course, in specific applications, the setup of medical hanging equipment is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative implementation, the medical hanging equipment is a medical suspension bridge, the fixing device 100 is the main body of the suspension bridge, and the device to be hung 200 is a terminal box, a carrier, or a mobile vehicle used to carry medical equipment.

[0067] In one implementation, when the medical suspension device is a medical pendant, after the suspension device 200 is installed on the pendant body, although the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210 cannot move relative to each other, the first connecting member 110 can drive the suspension device 200 to rotate, thereby adjusting the range of action of the suspension device 200. When the medical suspension device is a medical suspension bridge, after the suspension device 200 is installed on the suspension bridge body, the first connecting member 110 can drive the suspension device 200 to slide horizontally, thereby adjusting the range of action of the suspension device 200.

[0068] In one implementation, the main body of the pylon or the main body of the suspension bridge is fixed to the ceiling by a column. Of course, in specific applications, the installation method of the pylon or the main body of the suspension bridge is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative implementation, the main body of the pylon or the main body of the suspension bridge can also be fixed to a wall, or the main body of the pylon can also be fixed to the ground at 30° by a column.

[0069] In one implementation, when the medical suspension device is a medical pendant tower, the main body of the pendant tower includes a hanging column, a cantilever beam, a rotating arm, and a first docking member 110. One end of the hanging column is fixed to the ceiling, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cantilever beam. One end of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the cantilever beam, and the other end is connected to the first docking member 110. By driving the rotating arm to rotate, the first docking member 110 can be driven to rotate horizontally. As an alternative implementation, the rotating arm can also be replaced by a non-rotatable fixed arm, and the first docking member 110 can be rotatably connected or fixedly connected to one end of the fixed arm. When the medical suspension device is a medical suspension bridge, the main body of the bridge includes a cantilever beam, two hanging columns, at least one trolley, and at least one first docking member 110. The two hanging columns are spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and one end of each hanging column is fixed to the ceiling, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cantilever beam. Each first docking member 110 is slidably connected to the cantilever beam through a trolley.

[0070] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the device to be suspended 200 is provided with a moving wheel assembly 220 for driving the device to be suspended 200 to move horizontally on the ground 300. The device to be suspended 200 is supported on the ground 300 and moves on the ground 300 by the moving wheel assembly 220. The provision of the moving wheel assembly 220 can reduce the resistance encountered by the device to be suspended 200 when moving on the ground 300, thereby reducing the pushing and pulling force required when the device to be suspended 200 is connected and separated from the fixing device 100, and facilitating the transfer of the device to be suspended 200 between different fixing devices 100.

[0071] In one implementation, the horizontal movement of the device to be suspended 200 on the ground 300 is achieved by manually pushing the device to be suspended 200. The forward, backward, and parallel movement of the device to be suspended 200 on the ground 300 are all achieved by the operator pushing the device to be suspended 200. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, a slot 111 is formed on a first docking member 110. One end of the first docking member 110 has a first opening 112 that is horizontally open and communicates with the slot 111 for inserting and removing the connector 211 from the slot 111. The connector 211 is formed on a second docking member 210. The first opening 112 is specifically located at one horizontal end of the first docking member 110. The connector 211 can slide and be inserted into the slot 111 through the first opening 112, and can be removed from the slot 111 through the first opening 112. In this embodiment, the slot 111 is placed on the fixing device 100, and the connector 211 is placed on the hanging device 200, which makes it easier for medical personnel or other operators to horizontally insert and hang the device 200 through the first opening 112. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the slot 111 can be formed on the second mating member 210, and the plug body 211 can be formed on the first mating member 110.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the first docking member 110 is further formed with a downwardly opening second opening 113, which communicates with the slot 111 and the first opening 112 respectively. The second docking member 210 is further formed with a protruding connecting portion 212 protruding from the bottom of the plug-in body 211. The protruding connecting portion 212 is used to extend from the second opening 113 to the underside of the first docking member 110 when the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 are horizontally docked. When the plug-in body 211 slides into and out of the slot 111, a portion of the protruding connecting portion 212 will slide within the second opening 113. After the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 are horizontally docked, a portion of the protruding connecting portion 212 passes through the second opening 113, and the other portion of the protruding connecting portion 212 protrudes below the first docking member 110. The protruding connecting portion 212 is mainly used to connect with the body of the device to be suspended 200 (e.g., the body of the terminal box, the body of the rack, or the body of the mobile vehicle). The second opening 113 is mainly used to allow the protruding connecting portion 212 to pass through, so that the protruding connecting portion 212 can extend from the second opening 113 below the first docking member 110 when the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 are inserted and after insertion.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the slot 111 is provided with two spaced and oppositely arranged guide rails 114 for supporting the plug body 211. The plug body 211 can be supported on the guide rails 114 and can be slidably inserted and removed along the guide rails 114.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide rail 114 is recessed with a groove 115; the connector 211 includes a connector plate 2111 and two sliding portions 2112 spaced apart and protruding from the bottom of the connector plate 2111. Each sliding portion 2112 is respectively used to insert into a groove 115 and slide along a groove 115. The groove 115 can be used to guide and limit the sliding portions 2112, thereby improving the stability of the connector 211 installed in the slot 111.

[0075] In one implementation, the two sliding portions 2112 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the plug-in plate 2111. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the two sliding portions 2112 may not be provided at the edges of the plug-in plate 2111.

[0076] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in one embodiment, each groove 115 includes a groove bottom wall 1151, a first groove side wall 1152, and a second groove side wall 1153. The first groove side wall 1152 and the second groove side wall 1153 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the groove bottom wall 1151, and the distance between the first groove side walls 1152 of the two grooves 115 is less than the distance between the second groove side walls 1153 of the two grooves 115, that is, the first groove side wall 1152 is located inside the groove bottom wall 1151, and the second groove side wall 1153 is located outside the groove bottom wall 1151. The first groove side wall 1152 extends upward from the groove bottom wall 1151 with a tendency to gradually move away from the second groove side wall 1153; the sliding part 2112 is a protrusion on the bottom of the insertion plate 2111, and the protrusion has a first inclined surface 2101 for abutting and cooperating with the first groove side wall 1152. The first inclined surface 2101 of the two protrusions are two side surfaces of the two protrusions facing each other. Two first groove sidewalls 1152 extend upwards from the groove bottom wall 1151 with a gradually decreasing distance between them, while two first inclined surfaces 2101 extend downwards from the bottom of the insertion plate 2111 with a gradually increasing distance between them. The groove 115 and the sliding part 2112 are in the shape of an inverted right-angled trapezoid. In this embodiment, the sliding part 2112 and the groove 115 have a wedge-like structure. This arrangement helps to reduce the machining accuracy requirements of the groove 115 and the sliding part 2112, and also helps to prevent the sliding part 2112 from shifting within the groove 115, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first mating member 110 and the second mating member 210. Of course, in specific applications, the arrangement of the sliding part 2112 and the groove 115 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the shape of the groove 115 and the sliding part 2112 can also be rectangular or an inverted non-right-angled trapezoid; or, the sliding part 2112 can also be replaced by a roller or a bearing.

[0077] In one embodiment, the two sliding portions 2112 are protrusions extending downward from opposite sides of the plug plate 2111, which facilitates the manufacturing of the plug body 211. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the two sliding portions 2112 may not be located at the edges of the plug plate 2111.

[0078] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, in one embodiment, the plug-in plate 2111 has an insertion head and an insertion tail disposed opposite to each other. The insertion head is located in front of the insertion tail along the direction in which the plug-in body 211 is inserted into the slot 111. Two second inclined surfaces 2102 are also formed on opposite sides of the plug-in plate 2111. The two second inclined surfaces 2102 extend obliquely from opposite sides of the plug-in plate 2111 to the insertion head with a gradually decreasing distance to guide the plug-in plate 2111 into the slot 111. The insertion head is the end of the plug-in plate 2111 that is first inserted into the slot 111. The arrangement of the two second inclined surfaces 2102 allows the width of the insertion head of the plug-in plate 2111 to be relatively small and gradually increases backward, which better guides the insertion of the plug-in plate 2111 into the slot 111, thereby facilitating the horizontal docking of the first mating member 110 and the second mating member 210.

[0079] In one embodiment, one end of the slot 111 has a first opening 112 formed in a horizontal direction for inserting and removing the connector 211 from the slot 111. The first opening 112 extends along the direction in which the connector 211 is inserted into the slot 111 with a constant width. The distance between the portions of the two second inclined surfaces 2102 away from the insertion head is less than or equal to the width of the first opening 112, that is, the maximum distance between the two second inclined surfaces 2102 in the width direction of the first opening 112 is less than the width of the first opening 112. In this embodiment, the guiding insertion method between the connector plate 2111 and the slot 111 is that the first opening 112 is an opening of equal width, and the two sides of the connector plate 2111 form guiding inclined surfaces that gradually increase in size from the insertion head to the rear. Of course, in specific applications, the guiding insertion method between the connector plate 2111 and the slot 111 is not limited to this. For example, the first opening 112 of the slot 111 can also be set as a flared opening.

[0080] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the protruding connecting portion 212 includes a vertical extension plate 2121 and a hollow square tube 2122. One end of the vertical extension plate 2121 is connected to the plug-in plate 2111, and the other end is connected to the hollow square tube 2122. The vertical extension plate 2121 at least partially extends through the second opening 113. The bottom of the hollow square tube 2122 is connected to the body of the terminal box, the body of the shelf, or the body of the mobile vehicle. The hollow design of the hollow square tube 2122 facilitates the storage of electrical conduits and / or gas conduits. Of course, in specific applications, the structure of the protruding connecting portion 212 is not limited to this. For example, the hollow square tube 2122 can also be replaced by a plate or a bracket, and the vertical extension plate 2121 can also be replaced by multiple vertical rods.

[0081] In one implementation, the vertical extension plate 2121, the two protruding strips, and the plug-in plate 2111 are integrally formed, and the vertical extension plate 2121 is connected to the hollow square tube 2122 by screws or bolts. Of course, in specific applications, the connection relationship between the vertical extension plate 2121, the protruding strips, the plug-in plate 2111, and the hollow square tube 2122 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative implementation, the vertical extension plate 2121 and the protruding strips can also be connected to the plug-in plate 2111 by welding or by screws or bolts; the vertical extension plate 2121 can also be integrally formed or welded to the hollow square tube 2122.

[0082] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the first docking member 110 is further provided with a detector 130, and the second docking member 210 is further provided with a triggering part 230 for triggering the detector 130 to generate a trigger signal after the connector 211 and the slot 111 are properly inserted. The medical suspension device also includes a first controller 160, which is communicatively connected and / or electrically connected to the detector 130. The first controller 160 is used to determine whether the connector 211 and the slot 111 are properly inserted based on the feedback signal from the detector 130. The detector 130 and the triggering part 230 are aligned. Here, the first controller 160 determines whether the connector 211 and the slot 111 are properly inserted based on the feedback information from the detector 130, thereby enabling the first controller 160 to better control the medical suspension device to perform other actions, thus improving the automation level of the medical suspension device.

[0083] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, in one embodiment, the detector 130 is an optical coupler sensor. The optical coupler sensor includes a light emitter 131 and a light receiver 132, which are spaced apart and opposite to each other, forming a detection gap 133. Specifically, the light emitter 131 is located on one side of the detection gap 133, and the light receiver 132 is located on the other side. The light emitter 131 emits light towards the light receiver 132. The trigger 230 is a light-shielding plate that can be inserted into and removed from the detection gap 133. The optical coupler emits light through the light emitter 131 and receives light through the light receiver 132. When the trigger 230 is not inserted into the detection gap 133, the light receiver 132 can receive the light emitted by the light emitter 131; when the trigger 230 is inserted into the detection gap 133, the light receiver 132 cannot receive the light emitted by the light emitter 131. The first controller 160 determines whether the trigger part 230 is located within the detection gap 133 based on the feedback signal from the optical receiver 132, thereby determining whether the connector 211 and the slot 111 are properly inserted. In this embodiment, an optocoupler is used to determine the position of the trigger part 230, which features small size, fast response speed, no contacts, and long lifespan. Of course, in specific applications, other types of sensors can be used instead of the optocoupler, such as pressure sensors, which can specifically be limit switches or micro switches.

[0084] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the first docking member 110 is provided with two or more detectors 130 spaced apart, and the second docking member 210 is provided with two or more trigger parts 230 respectively aligned one-to-one with the two or more detectors 130. Here, by providing two or more detectors 130 and two or more trigger parts 230, the first controller 160 only determines that the connector 211 and the slot 111 are properly inserted when it receives trigger signals from all detectors 130 simultaneously. This helps to avoid false triggering caused by misalignment of the trigger parts 230, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the insertion position of the connector 211 and the slot 111, and further improving the safety and reliability of the medical hanging device.

[0085] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, in one embodiment, the slot 111 has a closed groove wall 116 spaced apart from the first opening 112. Two or more detectors 130 are spaced apart from the closed groove wall 116, and the trigger part 230 protrudes from the end of the plug-in plate 2111 that has a second inclined surface 2102. This positioning scheme is simple in structure, easy to implement, and helps to avoid interference with the operation of other structures (such as the movement of the locking mechanism 120). Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the positions of the detectors 130 and the trigger part 230 are not limited to this. When adjusting the setting of the locking mechanism 120, the detectors 130 and the trigger part 230 can also be arranged vertically.

[0086] In one implementation, the first controller 160 is mounted on the fixed device 100, which facilitates the connection between the first controller 160 and the detector 130. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the first controller 160 can also be set up independently as a central first controller 160.

[0087] In one implementation, the first controller 160 is also used to control the operation of the locking mechanism 120, for example, to control the locking mechanism 120 to lock the plug 211 in the slot 111, and to control the locking mechanism 120 to release the lock of the plug 211 in the slot 111.

[0088] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the first docking member 110 is provided with a slot 111, the second docking member 210 is provided with a plug-in body 211, and the locking mechanism 120 includes a pressing member 121 and a driving assembly 122. The driving assembly 122 is mounted on the first docking member 110 and connected to the pressing member 121. The driving assembly 122 is used to drive the pressing member 121 to move so that the pressing member 121 abuts against or disengages from the plug-in body 211. The first controller 160 is electrically connected to the driving assembly 122 to control the operation of the driving assembly 122. When the driving assembly 122 drives the pressing member 121 to abut against the plug-in body 211, the plug-in body 211 can be locked in the slot 111; when the driving assembly 122 drives the pressing member 121 to disengage from the plug-in body 211, the locking of the plug-in body 211 in the slot 111 can be released. In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 120 is disposed on the fixing device 100. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the locking mechanism 120 can also be disposed on the device to be suspended 200.

[0089] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the driving component 122 is a first lifting mechanism 1221 for driving the pressing member 121 to move up and down. The first lifting mechanism 1221 can drive the pressing member 121 to descend and rise. In this embodiment, when the first lifting mechanism 1221 drives the pressing member 121 to descend, the pressing member 121 can descend to abut against the connector 211, thereby generating positive pressure between the slide groove 115 of the first docking member 110 and the sliding portion 2112 of the second docking member 210, ensuring that the device to be hung 200 and the fixing device 100 do not physically misalign when the device to be hung 200 is rotated or shaken, that is, locking the connector 211; when the first lifting mechanism 1221 drives the pressing member 121 to rise, the pressing member 121 can rise to abut against the connector 211, thereby unlocking the connector 211. Of course, in specific applications, the configuration of the drive component 122 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative implementation, the drive component 122 can also be a mechanism for driving the pressing component 121 to swing or move horizontally.

[0090] In one embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 1221 is a cylinder. The cylinder body of the first lifting mechanism 1221 is fixed to the first docking member 110. One end of the piston rod of the first lifting mechanism 1221 is movably connected to the cylinder body, and the other end extends out of the cylinder body and is connected to the pressing member 121. The pressing member 121 is connected to the piston rod by screws, or the pressing member 121 may be part of the piston rod. In this embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 1221 is a cylinder. Of course, in specific applications, the arrangement of the first lifting mechanism 1221 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 1221 is a combination of a motor and a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism may include at least one of a screw drive mechanism, a rack and pinion drive mechanism, a belt drive mechanism, and a chain drive mechanism.

[0091] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, a first high-voltage interface socket 140 is also installed on the first docking member 110, and a second high-voltage interface socket 240 is also installed on the second docking member 210 for insertion and mating with the first high-voltage interface socket 140. The first high-voltage interface socket 140 is connected to the pressing member 121 for insertion and removal from the second high-voltage interface socket 240 under the drive of the driving component 122. High-voltage and low-voltage are relative concepts; high-voltage is mainly used for power transmission, while low-voltage is mainly used for signal transmission and control. The insertion of the first high-voltage interface socket 140 and the second high-voltage interface socket 240 enables electrical connection between them, thereby realizing power transmission between the fixed device 100 and the device to be suspended 200. In this embodiment, when the locking mechanism 120 mechanically locks the connector 211, it simultaneously connects the high-voltage interface socket between the fixing device 100 and the device to be suspended 200; when the locking mechanism 120 mechanically unlocks the connector 211, it simultaneously unlocks the high-voltage interface socket between the fixing device 100 and the device to be suspended 200, effectively reducing the workload and operational risks of manually operating the high-voltage interface socket. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the first high-voltage interface socket 140 and the second high-voltage interface socket 240 can also be manually inserted and removed.

[0092] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, a first low-voltage interface socket 150 is also installed on the first docking member 110, and a second low-voltage interface socket 250 is also installed on the second docking member 210 for insertion and mating with the first low-voltage interface socket 150. The first low-voltage interface socket 150 is connected to the pressing member 121 for insertion and removal from the second low-voltage interface socket 250 under the drive of the driving assembly 122. The insertion of the first low-voltage interface socket 150 and the second low-voltage interface socket 250 enables electrical connection between them. The insertion of the first low-voltage interface socket 150 and the second low-voltage interface socket 250 is mainly used to transmit control signals between the fixing device 100 and the device to be suspended 200. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the first low-voltage interface socket 150 and the second low-voltage interface socket 250 can also be inserted and removed manually.

[0093] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, as a connection method, the pressing component 121 includes a connecting plate 1211 and a pressing column 1212. The connecting plate 1211 and the pressing column 1212 are connected to the piston rod of the drive assembly 122 by screws. The first high-voltage interface seat 140 and the first low-voltage interface seat 150 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 1211, and the first high-voltage interface seat 140 and the first low-voltage interface seat 150 are respectively located on both sides of the pressing column 1212. Of course, in specific applications, the arrangement of the pressing component 121 is not limited to this, and the positional relationship of the pressing column 1212, the first high-voltage interface seat 140, and the first low-voltage interface seat 150 is also not limited to this. When the piston rod of the drive assembly 122 extends downward, the pressing post 1212, the first high-voltage interface seat 140, and the first low-voltage interface seat 150 move downward together. The pressing post 1212 abuts against the plug-in plate 2111 to achieve mechanical locking of the plug-in plate 2111. The first high-voltage interface seat 140 is inserted into the second high-voltage interface seat 240, and the first low-voltage interface seat 150 is inserted into the second low-voltage interface seat 250, realizing the electrical connection of the fixing device 100 and the device to be suspended 200 in terms of power and control signals. When the piston rod of the drive assembly 122 retracts upward, the pressing post 1212, the first high-voltage interface seat 140, and the first low-voltage interface seat 150 move upward together, thereby unlocking the plug-in plate 2111 and separating the power interface and control signal interface between the fixing device 100 and the device to be suspended 200.

[0094] In one implementation, the fixing device 100 is further provided with a third low-voltage interface socket (not shown), and the device to be suspended 200 is further provided with a fourth low-voltage interface socket (not shown) for insertion and engagement with the third low-voltage interface socket. The third low-voltage interface socket is separately disposed from the pressing member 121. When the driving component 122 drives the pressing member 121 to move, the third low-voltage interface socket will not move with the pressing member 121. The insertion and engagement of the third low-voltage interface socket and the fourth low-voltage interface socket can realize the electrical connection between the third low-voltage interface socket and the fourth low-voltage interface socket. The insertion and engagement of the third low-voltage interface socket and the fourth low-voltage interface socket is mainly used to realize the transmission of video and audio signals between the fixing device 100 and the device to be suspended 200. In this implementation scheme, the third low-voltage interface socket and the fourth low-voltage interface socket are inserted and removed by manual operation. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the insertion and removal of the third and fourth low-voltage interface sockets can also be achieved through the action of the locking mechanism. That is, the third low-voltage interface socket can also be connected to the pressing component 121 for insertion and removal into the fourth low-voltage interface socket under the drive of the drive component 122.

[0095] In one implementation, the fixing device 100 is further provided with a first air passage interface seat (not shown), and the device to be suspended 200 is further provided with a second air passage interface seat (not shown) for insertion and connection with the first air passage interface seat. The first air passage interface seat is separately disposed from the pressing member 121. When the driving component 122 drives the pressing member 121 to move, the first air passage interface seat will not move with the pressing member 121. The insertion and connection of the first air passage interface seat and the second air passage interface seat can realize the air passage connection between the first air passage interface seat and the second air passage interface seat, thereby realizing the air passage transmission between the fixing device 100 and the device to be suspended 200. The first air passage interface seat and the second air passage interface seat are inserted and removed by manual operation. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the insertion and removal of the first air passage interface seat and the second air passage interface seat can also be realized by the action of the locking mechanism, that is, the first air passage interface seat can also be connected to the pressing member 121 for insertion and removal into the second air passage interface seat under the drive of the driving component 122.

[0096] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing device 100 further includes a second lifting mechanism 170. The second lifting mechanism 170 is used to drive the first docking member 110 to rise and fall, so that the first docking member 110 can descend to a position for horizontal docking with the second docking member 210, and so that after the first docking member 110 completes horizontal docking with the plug body 211 and the slot 111, it can drive the second docking member 210 to rise to a position that lifts the device to be suspended 200 off the ground 300. The second lifting mechanism 170 is provided so that after the device to be suspended 200 is horizontally docked with the fixing device 100, the first docking member 110 can lift the device to be suspended 200 a certain distance, so that the device to be suspended 200 is completely lifted off the ground 300. This can prevent the device to be suspended 200 from automatically sliding off the first docking member 110 due to its own weight when the ground 300 is uneven and medical staff or other operators let go, which would cause misalignment of the subsequent high-voltage interface socket and lead to mis-connection.

[0097] In one implementation, the first controller 160 is also used to control the operation of the second lifting mechanism 170. The first controller 160 is configured to: upon receiving a trigger signal from the detector 130, determine that the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 have completed horizontal docking; then control the second lifting mechanism 170 to raise the second docking member 210 to a position where the device to be suspended 200 is lifted off the ground 300; then control the first lifting mechanism 1221 to drive the pressing member 121 downwards, so that the pressing member 121 locks the connector 211, and the first high-voltage interface 140 and the second high-voltage interface 240 are docked, and the first low-voltage interface 150 and the second low-voltage interface 250 are docked. Then, through manual operation, the third low-voltage interface 140 is inserted into the fourth low-voltage interface 140, and the first air path interface 150 is inserted into the second air path interface 150, thus completing the assembly of the device to be suspended 200 with the fixing device 100. In this implementation plan, after the first docking part 110 and the second docking part 210 are horizontally docked, the device to be suspended 200 is first lifted up a certain distance, and then mechanically locked and the strong and weak electrical interface sockets are docked.

[0098] In one implementation, the second lifting mechanism 170 adopts a combination of a motor and a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism may include at least one of a screw drive mechanism, a gear and rack drive mechanism, a belt drive mechanism, and a chain drive mechanism. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the second lifting mechanism 170 may also adopt a cylinder.

[0099] In one implementation, the fixing device 100 is provided with a first button. Pressing the first button causes the second lifting mechanism 170 of the fixing device 100 to drive the lifting head of the fixing device 100 and the first docking member 110 to descend to the docking height, which can be preset. Of course, in specific applications, the first button may not be provided on the fixing device 100. For example, in an alternative implementation, the second lifting mechanism 170 can be controlled by a remote control.

[0100] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, in one embodiment, the first docking member 110 is equipped with a projection lamp 180. The projection lamp 180 projects a light ring downwards towards the first docking member 110 to prompt the operator to clear the items within the light ring and push the hanging device 200 into the light ring position for docking. The projection lamp 180 is mainly used to provide a prompting function for the descent of the first docking member 110: pressing the first button illuminates the ground 300 with an image ring from the projection lamp 180 indicating that items on the ground 300 have been cleared, thus prompting the operation. In specific applications, to prompt medical personnel or other operators to clear the area for the next step of pushing the terminal box into the docking unit, during the height adjustment (ascending / descending) of the first docking member 110 driven by the second lifting mechanism 170, the projection lamp 180 simultaneously emits a beam of light to illuminate the area that needs to be cleared. Of course, the setting of the prompting function is not limited to this. For example, the projection lamp 180 may not be installed on the fixed device 100, but rather a sensor may be used to detect items and provide an alarm prompting function.

[0101] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in one embodiment, a distance sensor 190 is provided on the first docking member 110, which is used to detect the height of the first docking member 110. The height of the first docking member 110 is specifically the distance between the first docking member 110 and the ground 300. The first controller 160 is used to control the second lifting mechanism 170 to operate based on the feedback information from the distance sensor 190, so as to automatically adjust the height of the first docking member 110.

[0102] In one implementation method, before docking, medical staff or other operators need to press and hold the first button. Then, the hoist of the fixing device 100 will control the motor of the second lifting mechanism 170 to rotate according to the height value measured by the distance sensor 190 at the bottom of the hoist. Then, the hoist will automatically adjust its height (rise / fall) to the predetermined height (e.g., 1.5 meters) driven by the motor of the second lifting mechanism 170.

[0103] In one implementation, the first controller 160 is configured to: upon receiving an instruction for preparing for docking, control the first docking member 110 to descend to a preset docking height or the docking height corresponding to the instruction; and when the device to be suspended 200 is detected to have reached the docking position, control the first docking member 110 to dock and fix with the second docking member 210.

[0104] In one implementation, the aforementioned instruction for preparing for docking is received specifically by an operator continuously triggering a first button located on the fixing device 100. During the continuous triggering of the first button, the first controller 160 controls the first docking member 110 of the fixing device 100 to descend until it reaches a preset docking height.

[0105] In one implementation, when the device to be suspended 200 is detected to have reached the docking position, the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 are controlled to dock and fix. Specifically, this includes: after receiving the trigger signal from the detector 130, determining that the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 have completed horizontal docking, then controlling the second lifting mechanism 170 to raise the second docking member 210 to a position where the device to be suspended 200 is lifted off the ground 300, and then controlling the first lifting mechanism 1221 to drive the pressing member 121 to descend so that the pressing member 121 locks the plug body 211, and the first high-voltage interface socket 140 and the second high-voltage interface socket 240 are docked, and the first low-voltage interface socket 150 and the second low-voltage interface socket 250 are docked. In this embodiment, the horizontal docking of the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 is achieved by medical personnel pushing the device to be suspended 200 to move horizontally; of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the horizontal docking of the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 can also be achieved by the controller on the device to be suspended 200 controlling the device to be suspended 200 to move horizontally automatically.

[0106] In one implementation, the first controller 160 is further configured to receive a command for separation preparation when the first docking member 110 of the fixing device 100 is docked and fixed to the device to be hung 200, and to control the first docking member 110 to separate from the device to be hung 200.

[0107] In one implementation, the above-mentioned receiving of instructions for separation preparation specifically involves the operation of a function button located on the hanging device 200, the fixed device 100, or a handheld mobile terminal (e.g., a remote control) being triggered by an operator. For example, the operator presses and holds a function button on the terminal housing. The function button can be a combination button for disassembly and descent, or it can be designed as a double-click button to start. The use of a combination button is mainly to prevent accidental triggering.

[0108] In one implementation, the separation of the first docking member 110 from the device to be suspended 200 includes: the first controller 160 controlling the second lifting mechanism 170 to adjust the height of the device to be suspended 200 to a predetermined height based on the height value measured by the distance sensor 190; then controlling the locking mechanism 120 to release the lock on the second docking member 210 and disconnect the electrical connection between the fixing device 100 and the device to be suspended 200; then controlling the first docking member 110 to lower the device to be suspended 200 a predetermined distance so that the bottom of the device to be suspended 200 touches the ground. Then, the device to be suspended 200 is manually pushed horizontally to pull the second docking member 210 out of the first docking member 110. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the horizontal pulling out of the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 can also be achieved by the controller on the device to be suspended 200 controlling the automatic horizontal movement of the device to be suspended 200.

[0109] This embodiment also provides a medical docking assembly, which includes a first docking member 110 and a second docking member 210. One of the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 is provided with a slot 111, and the other is provided with a plug-in body 211. The plug-in body 211 can be slidably inserted into the slot 111 in the horizontal direction and can be slidably pulled out of the slot 111 in the horizontal direction. At least one of the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210 is also provided with a locking mechanism 120. The locking mechanism 120 is used to lock the plug-in body 211 in the slot 111 after it is inserted into the slot 111 to prevent the second docking member 210 from moving relative to the first docking member 110. The locking mechanism 120 is also used to release the lock on the plug-in body 211 in the slot 111 so that the plug-in body 211 can be pulled out of the slot 111. The insertion and removal principles of the first docking member 110 and the second docking member 210, as well as other parts, can be referred to the description in the above-mentioned medical hanging device, and will not be described in detail here.

[0110] The following description uses a medical pendant tower as an example to illustrate the working principle of medical pendant systems:

[0111] 1) When docking the terminal housing and the main body of the pylon, the pylon head (i.e., the first docking component 110) of the pylon body must first be lowered to a suitable docking height (e.g., 1.5 meters) with the docking mechanism of the terminal housing (i.e., the second docking component 210). During this process, medical personnel or other operators need to press and hold the first button. Then, the first controller 160 will automatically adjust the height (raise / lower) of the pylon head to the predetermined height (e.g., 1.5 meters) based on the height value measured by the distance sensor 190 at the bottom of the pylon head. To provide medical personnel or other operators with a reminder of the area needing to be cleared for the next step of pushing the terminal housing in for docking, during the height adjustment (raise / lower) of the first docking component 110 driven by the second lifting mechanism 170, the projection lamp 180 will simultaneously emit a beam of light to illuminate the area that needs to be cleared, i.e., project a reminder light and shadow onto the ground 300.

[0112] 2) After the second lifting mechanism 170 drives the first docking member 110 to reach the predetermined height, it will automatically stop lifting / lowering. At this time, medical staff or other operators can push the terminal box into the area indicated by the projection lamp 180 for docking. The docking method is horizontal docking. The lifting head of the main body of the tower is equipped with a first docking member 110 with a slot 111 and a sliding groove 115, a detector 130 for detecting the horizontal position of the terminal box, and a locking mechanism 120. The terminal box is equipped with a second docking member 210 with a plug-in plate 2111 and a sliding part 2112, and a trigger part 230 is installed on the plug-in plate 2111 of the second docking member 210. When the height of the lifting head reaches the predetermined position, the plug-in plate 2111 of the terminal box is inserted into the slot 111 on the lifting head of the main body of the tower.

[0113] 3) When the terminal box is pushed into place, the mechanical structure on the terminal box (i.e., the trigger unit 230) will block the two optical couplers (i.e., the detectors 130) inside the hoisting head. When the two optical couplers are blocked at the same time, the triggering is activated. Based on this, the first controller 160 judges that the terminal box has been pushed into place, that is, the positioning signal is normal. At this time, the hoisting head will automatically rise a certain distance (e.g., 5cm) so that the moving wheel assembly 220 of the terminal box is off the ground and completely lifted. This can prevent the terminal box from automatically sliding out of the docking mechanism due to its own gravity when the ground is uneven (300 degrees). This would cause the subsequent high-voltage docking to be inaccurate and result in mis-docking.

[0114] 4) After the terminal box is lifted by 5cm, the first controller 160 will open the solenoid valve to ventilate the power mechanism (i.e., the first lifting mechanism 1221) for mechanical locking and high-voltage connection. At this time, the piston rod of the first lifting mechanism 1221 will extend and generate positive pressure between the wedge-shaped track (i.e., the slide groove 115) in the first docking part 110 and the wedge-shaped track (i.e., the sliding part 2112) of the plug body 211 to ensure that the lifting head and the terminal box do not physically misalign when the terminal box is rotated or shaken; and realize the connection of the high-voltage interface socket and some low-voltage interface sockets to supply power (e.g., +24V) / communication to the circuit board on the terminal box.

[0115] 5) Once the piston rod of the first lifting mechanism 1221 is detected to be in position and a successful weak current handshake communication is established with the terminal box, the high-voltage switch can be turned on to supply power (220V) to the socket in the terminal box. At this point, the medical pendant can be operated and used normally, such as raising and lowering, turning on the arm lights, and releasing the joint air brakes.

[0116] 6) After the surgery, site cleanup is required. The terminal unit needs to be disassembled and pushed into the adjacent operating room for continued use, improving equipment utilization. The basic process is the reverse of the docking process described above. Press and hold the disassembly and descent combination button. The hoist head, under the control of the first controller 160, will control the motor of the second lifting mechanism 170 to rotate based on the height value measured by the distance sensor 190. Then, the hoist head will automatically adjust its height to the predetermined height driven by the motor. Then, the solenoid valve will be closed, disconnecting the air supply to the first lifting mechanism 1221. At this time, under the action of the spring, the piston rod of the first lifting mechanism 1221 will retract, disconnecting the electrical connection of the terminal unit. Then, the hoist head will automatically descend a certain distance, allowing the moving wheel assembly 220 of the terminal unit to touch the ground. At this time, the wedge-shaped track on the hoist head of the tower body will disengage from the wedge-shaped track on the terminal unit's plug-in plate 2111. Finally, the terminal unit can be pulled horizontally to complete the disassembly.

[0117] One embodiment of this invention addresses the problems of inability to switch functions between different medical pendant systems within the same operating room, inability to switch functions between medical pendant systems in different operating rooms, and difficulties in sharing operating room equipment. Specifically, it addresses the flexible use of endoscopic equipment in operating rooms and the rational layout of space. This embodiment proposes a novel type of medical pendant system, disassembling the integrated medical pendant system into a main body and a terminal housing. A lifting mechanism, combined with quick-connect or separation mechanisms, enables the docking and separation of the two. The terminal housing is mobile, allowing for flexible movement within and between operating rooms. The docking of different pendant main bodies and the terminal housing uses a unified platform. This allows for the switching of functions of the medical pendant system according to different surgeries, as well as the sharing of the terminal housing within operating rooms, saving purchase costs and improving utilization.

[0118] Example 2:

[0119] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the medical suspension device provided in this embodiment differs from that in Embodiment 1 mainly in the driving method for the horizontal movement of the device to be suspended 200 on the ground. Specifically, in Embodiment 1, the horizontal movement of the device to be suspended 200 on the ground is achieved by manual pushing; while in this embodiment, the horizontal movement of the device to be suspended 200 on the ground can be achieved by electric drive.

[0120] In one embodiment of this invention, the device to be suspended 200 further includes a drive motor and a second controller. The drive motor is connected to the moving wheel assembly, and the second controller is electrically connected to the drive motor to control the drive motor to drive the moving wheel assembly to move the device to be suspended horizontally on the ground. Through the drive motor and the second controller, the device to be suspended 200 can automatically perform at least one of the following functions: automatically locate the fixing device 100, automatically move to the docking position, and automatically fix the first docking part and the second docking part. The drive motor includes a travel motor 260 or includes a travel motor 260 and a steering motor 270. The travel motor can be used to drive the device to be suspended 200 forward and backward on the ground 300, and the steering motor 270 can be used to drive the device to be suspended 200 to change its direction of travel on the ground 300. Alternatively, the two travel motors 260 can work together to drive the device to be suspended 200 to change its direction of travel on the ground 300.

[0121] Specifically, the horizontal movement control of the suspended device 200 on the ground 300 is mainly divided into two aspects: walking and direction control. Direction control can be completely manual, such as a nurse pushing the suspended device 200 and applying force left and right to rotate the casters of the moving wheel assembly, thus controlling the direction of movement of the suspended device 200. Direction control can also be semi-automatic, for example, the second controller includes a control terminal and a motor drive board. The control terminal can be handheld, such as a remote control. The moving wheel assembly 220 includes: landing gear, a landing gear motor for driving the landing gear retraction and extension, and casters. The drive motor includes a steering motor for driving the casters to rotate. The handheld mobile terminal is connected to the landing gear motor and the steering motor via the motor drive board. When the nurse uses the control terminal and presses the left turn button, a left turn command is sent to the motor drive board, which controls the motor to drive the moving wheel assembly 220 to turn left; when the nurse presses the right turn button, a right turn command is sent to the motor drive board, which controls the motor to drive the moving wheel assembly 220 to turn right.

[0122] As one implementation method, the movement control of the suspended device 200 horizontally on the ground 300 is as follows: The operator uses a control terminal. When the forward button is pressed, a forward command is sent to the motor drive board. The motor drive board controls the landing gear motor to lower the landing gear. The casters are mounted on the landing gear, and movement can begin after the landing gear is lowered. The motor drive board controls the travel motor to drive the moving wheel assembly forward. When the forward button is released or the reverse button is pressed, a reverse command is sent to the motor drive board, which controls the travel motor to drive the moving wheel assembly backward. When movement is not required, the operator uses the control terminal to press the stop button, sending a stop command to the motor drive board. The motor drive board controls the casters to stop running via the travel motor and controls the landing gear motor to retract the landing gear.

[0123] Casters, as drive wheels, can be installed at the four corners of the bottom of the device to be hoisted 200, serving both a driving and supporting function. Alternatively, they can be installed at non-corner locations on the bottom of the device to be hoisted 200, such as the middle position, primarily serving a driving function. Universal wheels can be installed at the four corners of the bottom of the device to be hoisted 200 for support. In this way, the casters, combined with the lifting frame, not only protect the casters but also prevent them from being accidentally started.

[0124] There are several ways to achieve movement of the moving wheel assembly 220, the following are some examples. Figure 14 and Figure 15 Two examples are provided:

[0125] Option 1: As Figure 14 As shown, the movable wheel assembly 220 includes four wheels mounted on the bottom of the device to be suspended 200, of which two rear wheels are steering drive wheels and two front wheels are swivel wheels. The two rear wheels are driven by two travel motors 260 respectively, and they cannot steer independently. By controlling the output speed of the two travel motors 260 to be different, the two rear wheels can be made to steer by differential speed.

[0126] Option 2: Figure 15 As shown, the moving wheel assembly 220 includes four wheels mounted on the bottom of the device to be suspended 200, of which two rear wheels are drive wheels and two front wheels are steering wheels. The two rear wheels are driven by the same drive motor 260 and cannot steer independently; they only provide forward driving force for the device to be suspended 200. The two front wheels are connected by a steering linkage 280. One front wheel is controlled by a steering motor 270 and can be actively steered, while the other front wheel follows the active steering wheel under the traction of the steering linkage 280. The steering linkage 280 ensures that the steering angles of the two steering wheels maintain a certain ratio, thus ensuring smooth overall steering of the device to be suspended.

[0127] As one implementation method, an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) can be installed at the bottom of the device to be suspended 200. The AGV is equipped with the aforementioned moving wheel assembly, drive motor, and second controller.

[0128] Apart from the differences mentioned above, other parts of the medical hanging device provided in this embodiment can be referred to in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.
