Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] The power unit for a medical stretcher of this utility model includes a valve block assembly 6, which is connected to a double-acting hydraulic cylinder 1, a brushless motor 4, a bidirectional hydraulic gear pump 7, an oil reservoir 8, and an oil tank 9 respectively; the brushless motor 4 and the bidirectional hydraulic gear pump 7 are connected by a coupling; the valve block assembly 6 includes a one-way valve 2, an overflow valve 3, a balance valve 5, a pull cable plate 10, a pull cable support plate 11, and a manual unloading valve 12, which together form a manual emergency lowering mechanism for the medical stretcher.

[0020] The double-acting hydraulic cylinder 1 and valve block assembly 6 of this invention are fixedly connected by screws. The brushless motor 4 and valve block assembly 6 are also fixedly connected by screws. The oil reservoir 8 and oil tank 9 are fixedly connected by screws to the valve block assembly 6. The bidirectional hydraulic gear pump 7 is fixedly connected by screws to the valve block assembly 6. The double-acting hydraulic cylinder 1 and valve block assembly 6 form the actuator. The actuator uses the oil output from the bidirectional hydraulic gear pump 7 driven by the brushless motor 4 to control the extension and retraction of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 1, thereby controlling the raising and lowering of the stretcher. The shaft of the brushless motor 4 and the bidirectional hydraulic gear pump 7 are connected by a coupling.

[0021] In use, the brushless motor 4 starts and drives the bidirectional hydraulic gear pump 7 via a coupling to output oil to the valve block assembly 6. The oil then passes through the check valve 2 and enters the rodless chamber of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 1. The oil input increases the volume of the rodless chamber, pushing the piston rod of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 1 to extend. The extension of the piston rod pushes the stretcher structure upward. Correspondingly, the brushless motor 4 is controlled to start in the reverse direction, causing oil to enter the rod chamber of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 1. The oil input increases the volume of the rod chamber, pushing the piston rod of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 1 to retract. The retraction of the piston rod pushes the stretcher structure downward.

[0022] This invention integrates key components such as a hydraulic cylinder, motor, oil tank, valve block assembly, and gear pump, providing power support for height adjustment of the medical stretcher. Driven by the motor, the stretcher height can be easily adjusted to suit different needs; simultaneously, the hydraulic cylinder structure ensures the stability and safety of the stretcher during lifting and lowering. Furthermore, the closed-loop system design allows the actuator to provide continuous and stable hydraulic power, further enhancing the stretcher's usability. This actuator is compact, easy to install and maintain, and offers significant convenience for the use of medical stretchers.
