This specification and claims do not distinguish components based on differences in terminology, but rather on differences in function. The terms "comprising" or "including" used throughout the specification and claims are open-ended and should be interpreted as "comprising but not limited to." The following descriptions in the specification are preferred embodiments for carrying out this application; however, these descriptions are for the purpose of understanding the general principles of the specification and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. The scope of protection of this application shall be determined by the appended claims.
[0023] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a surgical table for fixing small and medium-sized animals. The surgical table includes a table 1, on which a placement groove 3 is formed, and a plurality of fixing posts 4 are provided on the table 1, the fixing posts 4 being respectively arranged in the circumferential direction of the placement groove 3;
[0024] Table legs 2 are located at the four corners of the table 1 under the table 1, and hydraulic devices 7 that can control the length of the table legs 2 are installed on the table legs 2.
[0025] refer to Figure 1 In this application, the operating table is placed on the ground, and the upper surface of the table 1 is rectangular. The surgeon stands on one side of the longer side during the operation, standing on one of the two relatively close sides, so that the more distant sides can be taken into account. Therefore, the two sides of the longer side of the table 1 are called the front and rear sides, and the two sides perpendicular to it are called the left and right sides.
[0026] The placement trough 3 is used to place small and medium-sized animals, and preferably, the placement trough 3 is used to place small and medium-sized animals.
[0027] The fixing stake 4 is used to fix small and medium-sized animals. A connecting rope is also connected to the fixing stake 4. One end of the connecting rope is fixedly connected to the fixing stake 4, and the other end of the fixing rope can bind and fix the animal's limbs, thereby fixing the animal in the placement trough 3, so that further operations such as surgery can be performed on the animal.
[0028] refer to Figure 1 The table 1 has a cubic structure, preferably a hollow cubic structure, to reduce its weight. A placement slot 3 is formed on the upper surface of the table 1. When surgery is required, the animal is secured inside the placement slot 3, limiting its movement and restricting its activity space. Secured within the placement slot 3, the animal can also be easily operated on.
[0029] More importantly, when performing surgery on animals using an operating table, liquids such as water or saline solution are used to rinse the animals. In order to reduce the impact of the liquid on the table during animal rinsing, the placement tank 3 can collect the liquid. When rinsing the animal, the liquid will flow directly into the placement tank 3, reducing the flow of liquid on the table and making it easier for the surgeon to perform surgery on the animal.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The placement groove 3 is semi-cylindrical, and the placement groove 3 extends axially through two sides perpendicular to the front and rear of the table 1. The bottom of the placement groove 3 is a smooth curved surface.
[0031] The cross-section of the placement tank 3 is semi-circular, making the bottom of the tank 3 a smooth curved surface, reducing dead corners at the bottom of the tank 3, and thus reducing the possibility of impurities remaining at the bottom of the tank 3. On the other hand, the smooth bottom of the placement tank 3 is more conducive to cleaning up the generated debris.
[0032] When the placement slot 3 is cut, it completely penetrates the left and right sides of the table 1, making the shapes of the table 1 and the placement slot 3 more regular and facilitating their manufacturing. This reduces the processing costs of the table 1 and the placement slot 3.
[0033] refer to Figure 1 The four fixing stakes 4 are provided, with two on the front and two on the back sides of the table 1 respectively.
[0034] In this application, the animals that need to undergo surgery are mostly small to medium-sized animals, such as cats, small dogs, or four-limbed animals like Bama pigs. Therefore, four fixing posts 4 are set up corresponding to the animal's four limbs. The four fixing posts 4 fix the animal's four limbs respectively, thereby reducing the possibility of the animal shaking during the operation and causing serious injury to the animal.
[0035] refer to Figure 1 The upper surface of the table 1 is rectangular, and the placement groove 3 is cut along the long side of the table 1, resulting in a larger distance between the left and right sides of the table 1. The front and back sides of the table 1 are closer together. Therefore, the fixing posts 4 are placed on the front and back sides where they are closer together. This ensures that when small animals such as Bama pigs, cats, or dogs are restrained, the distance between their limbs and the fixing posts 4 is closer, thus reducing the stress on the connecting ropes during restraint. Simultaneously, when closer to the fixing posts 4, the connecting ropes can provide greater force to the animal's limbs, further reducing the likelihood of the animal moving on the operating table. This facilitates surgery for the animal.
[0036] refer to Figure 1The fixing piles 4 are symmetrically arranged on the front and back sides of the table 1.
[0037] The anchors 4 are symmetrically arranged, ensuring a symmetrical body shape when the animal is immobilized using the table 1 and anchors 4. This allows the surgeon to perform surgery from both the front and back sides of the table 1. Furthermore, the symmetrical arrangement of the anchors 4 results in a more even distribution of force on the animal, reducing the difference in force applied to its limbs and further improving the stability of the animal's immobilization.
[0038] A drain hole 5 is provided on the table 1, and the drain hole 5 penetrates the table 1 vertically; the drain hole 5 is located at the bottom of the placement groove 3; preferably, there are two drain holes 5, and the two drain holes 5 are located near both ends of the placement groove 3.
[0039] The drain hole 5 is used to discharge liquid impurities. During animal surgery, water or saline solution is used to rinse the animal. The liquid after rinsing is first collected in the placement tank 3 to reduce its impact on the table 1. Then, the liquid after rinsing the animal can be discharged from the placement tank 3 through the drain hole 5.
[0040] refer to Figure 2 One or two collection buckets for holding sewage can be placed under the table 1. The collection buckets are placed in the positions corresponding to the drain hole 5. When sewage is generated after washing the animals, it flows from the drain hole 5 into the collection bucket, which can centrally treat the sewage and reduce the sewage from flowing directly from the placement trough 3 onto the ground, thus making the ground slippery and affecting the surgeon's operation.
[0041] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Removable baffles (not shown in the figure) can be installed at both ends of the placement tank 3 to reduce the possibility of animal rinsing fluid flowing out from both ends of the placement tank 3. When it is necessary to clean the placement tank 3, the baffles can be removed before cleaning.
[0042] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The table leg 2 includes an upper leg 21 and a lower leg 22, and the hydraulic device 7 is disposed between the upper leg 21 and the lower leg 22; preferably, the hydraulic device 7 is a telescopic hydraulic jack.
[0043] The telescopic hydraulic jack can reciprocate, allowing its length to be extended or shortened. Since each of the four table legs 2 is equipped with a telescopic hydraulic jack, the overall length of the four table legs 2 is adjustable.
[0044] When performing surgery on an animal, the animal is fixed in the placement slot 3 using a fixing post 4. Therefore, for some specific surgeries, it is necessary to turn or tilt the animal. At this time, the total length of each table leg 2 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the hydraulic jack, thereby tilting the table 1 so that the surgeon can perform surgery on the animal.
[0045] The upper leg 21 is connected to the table 1, the lower leg 22 is in contact with the ground, and the length is adjusted by a telescopic hydraulic jack in the middle.
[0046] When the hydraulic device 7 controls the length of the table leg 2, it can tilt the table 1, and the angle between the tilting plane of the table 1 and the horizontal plane is 30° to 60°.
[0047] Specifically, the angle between the plane of the table 1 and the horizontal plane is: 30°, 31°, 32°, 33°, 34°, 35°, 36°, 37°, 38°, 39°, 40°, 41°, 42°, 43°, 44°, 45°, 46°, 47°, 48°, 49°, 50°, 51°, 52°, 53°, 54°, 55°, 56°, 57°, 58°, 59°, 60°.
[0048] The inclined plane of table 1 refers to the plane containing the upper or lower surface of table 1.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, when the table 1 is tilted, it is tilted by two table legs 2 at opposite corners. One of the two table legs 2 at opposite corners is lengthened and the other is shortened, so that the table 1 tilts downward along the direction of the shortened table leg 2.
[0050] In another specific embodiment, when the table 1 is tilted, it is caused by the simultaneous extension or shortening of two adjacent table legs 2. Specifically, the two table legs 2 located on the same side of the longer side are simultaneously shortened under the action of a telescopic hydraulic jack, causing the table 1 to tilt downwards along this longer side. Alternatively, the two table legs 2 located on the same side of the shorter side can also be tilted by the simultaneous shortening of the two adjacent table legs 2 under the action of a telescopic hydraulic jack.
[0051] By controlling the extension or shortening of the four table legs 2, the plane on which the table 1 is located can be tilted in multiple directions, thereby meeting the need to perform surgery on animals in a tilted state, and improving the scope of use and adaptability of the operating table.
[0052] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A connecting frame 8 is provided below the table legs 2, and the connecting frame 8 connects the four table legs 2.
[0053] The connecting frame 8 includes four connecting rods, which are respectively connected between the four lower legs 22 to connect the four table legs 2, thereby enhancing the stability between the table legs 2 and reducing the possibility of the table legs 2 shifting. This improves the stability of the tabletop.
[0054] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A roller 6 is provided below the connecting frame 8. Preferably, the roller 6 is a universal wheel with a brake.
[0055] The use of casters 6 makes the operating table easier to move. After the animal is secured in the placement slot 3, the casters 6 can be used to move the animal to the appropriate position for surgery. Once the operating table has been moved to the target position, the casters 6 are secured with brakes to reduce the possibility of the operating table moving and to keep the operating table in the target position for surgery.
[0056] A heating device is provided on the table, and the heating device includes a heating layer disposed on the surface of the table.
[0057] The heating device is used to heat the operating table. During animal surgery, water is used to rinse the animal, which can cause a drop in body temperature. Alternatively, the animal's body temperature may drop due to its own physiological processes during surgery. In these situations, the heating device can reheat the animal, maintaining its body temperature within a suitable range. This further improves the survival rate of animals after surgery and reduces the possibility of surgical failure due to hypothermia.
[0058] In one specific embodiment, the heating device is a heating layer.
[0059] In another specific embodiment, the heating device is a heating pad.
[0060] A heating layer is laid on the upper surface of the table. The animal is then heated using the heating layer or heating pad. Placing the animal on the heating layer increases the contact area between the animal and the heating layer, allowing the heating layer to heat the animal more quickly and improving heating efficiency.
[0061] In summary, this application provides an operating table for securing small to medium-sized animals. During surgery, the animal's limbs are secured to four anchor points 4 using connecting ropes, and the animal is placed in a placement trough 3. During the surgery, when the animal is rinsed with liquid, the liquid drains from the drain hole 5; therefore, a collection bucket must be placed at the corresponding location of the drain hole 5. When surgery needs to be performed on different parts of the animal, the overall length of the table legs 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the telescopic hydraulic jack, thereby shifting the table 1 and the secured animal. When moving the operating table, it can be directly pushed using the rollers 6; once the operating table reaches the target position, the brakes are used to secure it.
