Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to medical equipment, in particular to a steel ball locking device. Background Art

[0002] As a fundamental medical device, the operating table holds a crucial position in orthopedics, surgery, and other medical device categories. They are not only essential tools for doctors during surgery but also crucial tools frequently used by patients during their postoperative recovery. With the continuous advancement of medical technology, the variety and functionality of operating tables are becoming increasingly diverse. From the most basic lifting function, these have expanded to include partial lifting, rotation, suspension, and tilting, and even more combinations, such as the ability to slide when needed and secure when not; to elevate the legs when needed and lay them flat when not needed; and so on, allowing for diverse functions tailored to specific situations.

[0003] In order to achieve the above-mentioned multiple combination functions, the bed body is usually composed of a headboard, an upper backboard, a lower backboard, a seat board and a leg board connected in sequence, and the two are connected by a number of hinged devices. During assembly or subsequent maintenance, the disassembly of the hinged devices is cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, the development of a locking device that can achieve quick assembly at one end is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved in this case. Utility Model Content

[0058] An upper gear ring is provided in the connection port and is sleeved on the connection shaft. The upper gear ring is meshed with the lower gear ring.

[0059] The top of the connecting shaft is connected to the locking seat 100 through a thread, and the upper gear ring and the lower gear ring are locked by rotating the connecting shaft (a step is provided between the connecting shaft and the bottom surface of the upper gear ring, and the upper gear ring is driven to move upward by the upward rotation of the connecting shaft), thereby fixing the leg board support seat 700 and thus fixing the leg board.

[0060] Example 2:

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown; the connecting end 120 is a connecting ear 800;

[0062] The connecting ear 800 is provided with a connecting hole, and the end of the head plate is detachably fixedly connected to the connecting ear 800.
