The first electric slide rail 5 is installed on the inner side of the second electric slide rail 12, and the first electric slide rail 5 and the second electric slide rail 12 are installed on the surface of the workbench 1.
[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the assembly mechanism 4 is located in the middle of the workbench 1, and the reason is to meet the working needs of the first operating table 2 and the second operating table 3. The assembly mechanism 4 includes a support rod 18, and the assembly mechanism 4 is supported by the support rod 18. The support rod 18 is mounted on the workbench 1, and a fixing plate 19 is provided at the upper end of the support rod 18. The width of the first support plate 8 and the second support plate 15 is smaller than the distance between the two ends of the support rod 18 on the workbench 1.
