[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a movable flushing tower of this utility model includes a support mechanism 1, a column mechanism 2, a support tray 3, a support frame 3.1, a base 4, a double foot switch 5, a push-pull handle 6, a support tray storage rack 7, and an intelligent monitoring tablet 8.
[0037] The base 4 is equipped with casters and a double foot switch 5. The double foot switch 5 is connected to the control circuit via wires. By stepping on the double foot switch, the lifting and lowering of the column mechanism 2 can be controlled.
[0038] The column mechanism 2 includes a large column 21, a small column 25, an electric push rod 22, a motor 23, a proximity switch 24, and a micro switch 24.1.
[0039] A large upright column 21 is mounted on the base 4, and a support tray storage mechanism 7 is installed on the large upright column. The large upright column 21 has an internal cavity, and a small upright column 25 is installed inside the cavity of the large upright column. The small upright column 25 is movably connected to the large upright column 21. The small upright column also has an internal cavity. An electric push rod is installed inside the internal cavity of the small upright column, and the movable end of the electric push rod 22 is fixedly connected to the small upright column. The electric push rod is a commercially available product. The support tray storage mechanism 7 can be configured as a hook type or as a storage basket. The proximity switch 24 and the micro switch 24.1 are directly mounted on the housing of the electric push rod, or the proximity switch can be mounted on an independent rod, which is set on the chassis. When the support tray approaches the large upright column, the proximity switch 24 and the micro switch 24.1 can detect the approach of the support tray, providing dual protection.
[0040] The small column has detachable support trays 3 on both sides. The support trays provide a place for medical instruments. The detachable design allows the medical instruments to be returned to their original position when not in use, and simultaneously lowers the movable flushing tower to its minimum size. In this embodiment, the detachable structure uses mounting holes on both sides of the small column and barbs at the connection between the support tray and the small column. The specific shape of the support tray is as follows... Figure 8 As shown.
[0041] The support mechanism 1 is located at the top of the small column. For example... Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the support mechanism 1 consists of a support plate 9, a socket 10, a socket fixing frame 11, a socket fixing plate 11.1, a fixing column 12, a reinforcing plate 13, a slider fixing plate 14, a support brake block 15, a guide sleeve 16, a spring 17, a stop slider 18, a handle 19, and a support 20.
[0042] The support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the small column 25. A socket fixing plate 11.1 is provided on the support plate 9, and a socket 10 is provided on the socket fixing plate 11. A fixing column 12 is provided inside the socket fixing outer frame 11, and the function of the fixing column 12 is to provide stronger support for the entire upper weight. A reinforcing plate 13 is provided on the top of the socket fixing outer frame 11, and the reinforcing plate 13 is supported by the fixing column 12 and the frame of the socket fixing outer frame 11. A slider fixing plate 14 is provided on the reinforcing plate 13, and a bracket brake block 15 is provided on the slider fixing plate 14. The socket 10 is connected to an external power source via electrical wires and cables.
[0043] The upper part of the support 20 is equipped with hooks for hanging infusion bags or infusion bottles; the lower part of the support 20 is a cylindrical straight rod with a flat surface cut in the middle. A limiting groove is provided on one side of the rod opposite to the flat surface. Its cross-sectional view is shown below. Figure 4 As shown. The straight rod at the bottom of the bracket passes through the slider fixing plate 14 and through the socket fixing outer frame 11 and the support plate 9. The edge of the bracket brake block 15 blocks the straight rod hole of the slider fixing plate 14. The blocking part matches the cutting surface of the straight rod, so that the cut part of the straight rod can move up and down under the limiting action of the bracket brake block 15. When the bracket is pulled up, due to the restriction of the bracket brake block 15, the straight rod at the bottom of the bracket will not disengage from 14. At the same time, the cooperation between the bracket brake block 15 and the cutting surface restricts the limiting groove of the straight rod to be kept in a relatively fixed direction, so that 18 can lock the limiting groove of the straight rod, thereby keeping the bracket at the required height.
[0044] To prevent wear on the slider fixing plate 14, reinforcing plate 13, and straight rod hole of support plate 9 during use, and to prevent the up-and-down movement of bracket 20 from affecting the wires inside 11, guide sleeve 16 is provided in the straight rod hole between slider fixing plate 14 and support plate 9.
[0045] like Figure 6 As shown in the enlarged portion, the slider fixing plate 14 has a cavity for accommodating the spring 17 and the stop slider 18. One end of the spring 17 abuts against the slider fixing plate 14, and the other end of the spring 17 abuts against one end of the stop slider 18. The other end of the stop slider 18 can be pressed against the bracket 20 by the elastic force of the spring 17. The stop slider 18 is also provided with a handle 19. By pulling back the handle 19, the stop slider 18 can compress the spring 17, thereby disengaging the stop slider 18 from contact with the bracket 20, thus allowing the height of the bracket 20 to be adjusted. After releasing the handle 19, the stop slider 18 is pressed against the bracket 20 again by the elastic force of the spring 17. When the stop slider 18 is pressed against the limiting groove of the bracket 20, the bracket 20 will be locked.
[0046] As a further technical solution, the main column is equipped with a push-pull handle 6 and an intelligent monitoring panel 8. The push-pull handle 6 facilitates the movement of the entire flushing tower. The intelligent monitoring panel is designed to summarize the data from the monitoring equipment, allowing all data to be viewed at once.
[0047] The main circuit of the flushing tower of this utility model is as follows: Figure 9-11 As shown, the main circuit is controlled by an MCU. Its control principle is as follows: First, it detects whether the proximity switch detects the approach of the support tray. If not, when the foot switch is pressed, the MCU sends a control signal, which, based on the pressed foot switch, causes the motor to rotate forward or reverse, thus raising or lowering the small column. When the proximity switch detects the approach of the support tray, it sends an interrupt signal. Upon receiving this interrupt signal, the MCU shuts off the forward and reverse control signals to the motor, thereby locking the position of the small column and protecting the safety of the flushing tower itself and the mounted medical equipment.
[0048] To use, first raise the small column to near the infusion height, then adjust the height of the support. Once the height is suitable, hang the support tray on the side of the small column, then fix the medical device onto the support tray, connecting the medical device as needed. When the intelligent monitoring tablet is needed, simply connect the medical device to the intelligent monitoring tablet for communication.
