[0002] A keyboard is a device used to input instructions and data for operating equipment. It is widely used in microcomputers and various terminal devices, allowing operators to input various instructions and data to control the computer. However, in hospital settings, keyboards are unsuitable due to the presence of numerous germs. These germs can easily accumulate on keyboards, and after prolonged use, medical staff's fingers may carry them, posing a hygiene and safety risk. Therefore, ordinary keyboards are not suitable for the high-purity environments of operating rooms. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a medical keyboard that facilitates thorough disinfection and cleaning of the wall panel where the keyboard is installed, while also preventing the keyboard itself from accumulating dust and becoming a source of contamination, thus enabling convenient use in surgical settings.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a medical keyboard, comprising a keyboard body installed on a wall, wherein a strip-shaped through hole is opened on the panel of the wall for the keyboard body to pass through, and a storage box with one end communicating with the strip-shaped through hole is provided on the inner side of the panel, wherein a fixing plate is movably installed in the storage box, and the keyboard body is installed on the fixing plate and can move along the direction perpendicular to the panel with the fixing plate;
[0005] The storage box has at least two guide rails perpendicular to the wall panel, with both ends of the guide rails connected to the storage box. The fixing plate is fitted onto the guide rails and can reciprocate along the guide rails. The storage box also has a lead screw parallel to the guide rails, with one end of the lead screw connected to a motor and the other end of the lead screw rotatably connected to the storage box. The fixing plate is fitted onto the lead screw and threadedly connected to the lead screw. The guide rails and the fixing plate are connected by a copper bushing. At least one touch sensing module connected to the control module inside the keyboard body is installed in the mounting groove on the front surface of the storage box.
[0006] The storage box has a clearance through hole on the end face of the wall panel that communicates with the strip through hole, thereby forming a bend at each end of the clearance through hole. A fixing seat is installed at one end of the fixing plate, and a limit switch is installed on each of the two end faces of the fixing seat. One limit switch is set opposite to the bend of the storage box, and the other limit switch is set opposite to the end face of the storage box away from the wall panel.
[0007] When not in use, the keyboard body moves into the storage box. When in use, the keyboard body, along with the fixing plate, moves from inside the storage box through the strip-shaped through hole on the panel to the outside of the panel.
[0008] The following are further improvements to the above technical solution:
[0009] 1. In the above scheme, a touch glass plate is provided on the mounting groove on the outside of the touch sensing module.
[0010] 2. In the above scheme, the motor is connected to the control module located inside the keyboard body.
[0011] 3. In the above scheme, the fixing seat is located between two guide rails set at the top and bottom.
[0012] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0013] 1. The medical keyboard of the present invention has a storage structure on the inside of the wall panel for the keyboard body. When not in use, it can be stored inside the wall panel, which facilitates thorough disinfection and cleaning of the wall panel and prevents the keyboard body itself from accumulating dust and becoming a source of pollution, thus greatly improving the cleanliness of the operating room where the keyboard of this application is used.
[0014] 2. The medical keyboard of this invention has at least two guide rails perpendicular to the wall panel spaced apart inside its storage box. The two ends of the guide rails are connected across the storage box. A fixing plate is fitted onto the guide rails and can reciprocate along them. A lead screw parallel to the guide rails is also provided inside the storage box. One end of the lead screw is connected to a motor, and the other end is rotatably connected to the storage box. The fixing plate is fitted onto the lead screw and threadedly connected to it, realizing automatic driving of the keyboard's retraction movement. This allows for convenient use in surgical settings, good positional accuracy, and a good user experience. The storage box has a clearance hole on the end face near the wall panel that communicates with the strip-shaped through hole, thus forming a bend at each end of the clearance hole. A fixing base is installed at one end of the fixing plate, and a limit switch is installed on each of the two end faces of the fixing base. One limit switch is set opposite to the bend of the storage box, and the other limit switch is set opposite to the end face of the storage box away from the wall panel. By setting the limit switches, the relative position between the keyboard body and the storage box can be monitored in real time, thereby accurately controlling the movement stroke of the keyboard body and ensuring the positional accuracy of the keyboard body in both states.
