Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of large medical equipment, and in particular relates to a medical pendant tower. Background Technology
[0002] A pendant is a mechanical device installed in places such as operating rooms and intensive care units. Its main functions are threefold: first, to house monitoring, endoscope, and anesthesia equipment; second, to provide power to various medical equipment; and third, to provide medical gases such as oxygen.
[0003] The structure of the pendant tower includes a support mechanism and a sliding box. Under the action of the support mechanism, the sliding box can move horizontally and vertically within a certain range, allowing its position to be flexibly changed according to usage requirements. The sliding box is equipped with a power socket, a gas interface, and brackets for placing various instruments and equipment.
[0004] The problem with the existing technology is that the bracket is always fixedly connected to the slide box during use, which limits the flexibility of the bracket's position. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides a medical pendant tower. During the use of the pendant tower, the bracket can be separated from the sliding box when needed, thereby greatly improving the flexibility of the bracket position and expanding the range of motion of the bracket.
[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: This utility model provides a medical pendant tower, including a mounting base, which is fixedly connected to the ceiling of a building; a horizontal support arm, one end of which is connected to the mounting base and can rotate in a horizontal plane around the mounting base; a vertical slide rod, the upper end of which is connected to the horizontal support arm; a sliding box, which is slidably installed at the lower end of the vertical slide rod; and a bracket, which is snapped onto the side of the sliding box. The bottom of the bracket is provided with rollers. After the snapping between the bracket and the sliding box is released, the bracket falls to the ground and can slide under the support of the rollers.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the slide box is provided with an upwardly extending latching part A, and correspondingly, the bracket is provided with a downwardly extending latching part B. After the latching parts A and B overlap each other, the slide box can hook the bracket.
[0008] The side of the slide box is equipped with an electric latch. After the slide box hooks the bracket, power is applied to make the electric latch extend horizontally and insert into the pin hole on the bracket.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the bracket is provided with a power strip, and correspondingly, the slide box is provided with an extendable power extension cord that supplies power to the power strip.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a cable retractor is provided inside the slide box, and the power extension cable is stored in the cable retractor.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the side of the slide box is provided with a power socket and a medical gas interface.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. During use, the bracket can be easily detached from the slide box, thereby effectively expanding the range of movement of the bracket and improving the flexibility of the bracket's position.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, after the bracket is detached from the slide box, the electrical equipment on the bracket is powered by the power extension cord extending from the slide box and the power strip on the bracket, instead of relying on the power socket on the side of the slide box. This power supply method not only avoids the limitation of the bracket position on the power cord of the electrical equipment on the bracket, but also greatly simplifies the wiring between the slide box and the bracket.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, the mounting base 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling of the operating room or intensive care unit, thereby realizing the connection between this utility model and the building.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, one end of the horizontal support arm 2 is connected to the mounting base 1 and can rotate in the horizontal plane with the mounting base 1 as the center. The rotational connection here is a conventional technology in the mechanical field and will not be described in detail here.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, the upper end of the vertical slide bar 3 is connected to the horizontal support arm 2, and the slide box 5 is slidably installed at the lower end of the vertical slide bar 3.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, this embodiment includes a bracket 11, which has two usage states:
[0023] In the first configuration, the bracket 11 is snapped onto the side of the sliding box 5. In this configuration, the present invention can be used like a conventional crane, meaning that the bracket 11 changes its position simply by rotating the horizontal support arm 2 and moving the sliding box 5 on the vertical slide bar 3.
[0024] In the second configuration, after the bracket 11 detaches from the slide box 5, the bracket 11 falls to the ground and slides under the support of the rollers 12. In this state, the bracket 11 can be moved to a greater distance, and its movement is more flexible.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the sliding box 5 is provided with an upwardly extending latching part A 9, and correspondingly, the bracket 11 is provided with a downwardly extending latching part B 10. The latching parts A 9 and B 10 overlap each other, allowing the sliding box 5 to hook the bracket 11. An electric latch 14 is provided on the side of the sliding box 5. After the sliding box 5 hooks the bracket 11, power is applied to cause the electric latch 14 to extend horizontally and insert into the pin hole on the bracket 11, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the bracket 11 and the sliding box 5. After connection, the structure of this utility model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0026] When the bracket 11 disengages from the slide box 5, the electric latch 14 is first retracted to its initial position via electronic control. Then, the slide box 5 slides downwards until the bracket 11 touches the ground, and the locking parts A and B are completely disengaged. At this point, the bracket 11 can slide on the ground with the support of the rollers 12 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown).
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket 11 is provided with a power strip 13, and correspondingly, the slide box 5 is provided with an extendable power extension cord 8 that supplies power to the power strip 13. After the bracket 11 is detached from the slide box 5, the electrical equipment on the bracket 11 is powered by the power extension cord 8 extending from the slide box 5 and the power strip 13 on the bracket 11, instead of relying on the power socket 6 on the side of the slide box 5. This power supply method not only avoids the limitation of the position of the bracket 11 by the power cord of the electrical equipment on the bracket 11, but also greatly simplifies the wiring between the slide box 5 and the bracket 11.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, a cord retractor 7 is provided inside the slide box 5, and the power extension cord 8 is stored in the cord retractor 7. The cord retractor 7 is commonly found in electrical appliances such as vacuum cleaners and is considered prior art, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, the side of the slide box 5 is provided with a power socket 6 and a medical gas interface 4, which facilitates the supply of power and gas for various medical procedures.
