Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tray technology, specifically a nursing tray with storage and organization functions. Background Technology

[0002] In the operating room, a nursing tray is a medical instrument typically used to hold nursing tools and supplies. During surgery, the operating room nursing tray is an essential item for medical staff.

[0003] The published patent (publication number: CN221555960U) also discloses an operating room care tray, which specifically includes a connecting frame and a care tray body. The care tray body is set on the top of the connecting frame, and a support leg is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting frame. Multiple universal wheels are fixedly installed on the bottom of the support leg. It also includes a connecting component and a telescopic component. The drive motor drives the gear to rotate. During the rotation, the gear contacts the locking interface opened on the moving rod and pushes the locking interface to move upward, thereby raising the height of the moving rod in the connecting frame. This allows the height of the care tray body to be adjusted, making it suitable for medical staff of different heights.

[0004] The height of the tray is controlled by a motor drive, but the motor control requires a button or switch. Usually, the switch needs to be turned on manually. In the operating room, since medical staff have already disinfected their hands, touching the switch again may cause hand contamination. Therefore, in response to the above problems, there is an urgent need for a nursing tray that can control the height without using both hands. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a nursing tray with storage and organization functions to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when medical staff touch the switch after their hands have been disinfected in the operating room, it is easy to cause contamination.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A care tray with storage and organization function includes a movable base and a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic actuator, which includes a lifting rod and a foot pedal. The top of the lifting mechanism is provided with a tray body, and the lower end of the tray body is provided with an engaging component between it and the top of the lifting rod.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the engaging assembly includes a fixed shaft fixedly connected to the tray body and a mounting groove fixedly connected to the top of the lifting rod.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two sets of guide components are fixedly installed at the bottom of the tray body. Each set of guide components includes two guide blocks. Guide grooves are formed on the opposite surfaces of the two guide blocks in each set. A sliding rod is slidably connected inside the guide groove. An extension plate is fixedly connected to the sliding rod.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the two ends of the guide groove are designed to be limited.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a fixing plate with a slot is fixedly installed at the bottom of the extension plate, and a limiting plate corresponding to the slot is fixedly installed on the guide block.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer side of the slot is designed to be vertical, and the inner side is designed to be inclined.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This nursing tray, using a hydraulic actuator, can raise a telescopic rod, thus achieving a lifting effect. This allows the tray to be raised by touching a foot pedal. This avoids the problem of being unable to operate manually during surgery after medical staff have disinfected their hands and put on disposable gloves.

[0015] Furthermore, the sliding rod within the guide groove allows the extension plate to move within the bottom of the pallet body. When the usable area of ​​the pallet body needs to be increased, the extension plate can simply be pulled out from the bottom of the pallet body. When not in use, the extension plate is hidden at the bottom of the pallet body and does not occupy additional space. This achieves the effect of increasing the pallet's load-bearing area.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a nursing tray with storage and organization functions. The device includes a movable base 10 and a lifting mechanism 20. The bottom of the base 10 is equipped with multiple evenly distributed casters 11, which facilitate the movement of the entire device within the operating room. The lifting mechanism 20 includes a hydraulic actuator 21, which comprises a lifting rod 22 and a foot pedal 23. Figure 6 As shown, the hydraulic actuator 21 also includes a hydraulic cylinder, an oil tank, an infusion tubing, and a pump cylinder. The foot pedal 23 is connected to the drive handle of the pump cylinder. The up-and-down movement of the foot pedal 23 causes the pump cylinder to draw liquid from the oil tank, which then flows unidirectionally through the infusion tubing into the pump cylinder and then into the hydraulic cylinder. The increased oil volume inside the hydraulic cylinder pushes the telescopic rod upwards, thus achieving a lifting effect. This allows the nursing tray to be raised by touching the foot pedal 23. This avoids the problem of being unable to operate manually after medical staff have disinfected their hands and put on disposable gloves during surgery. Furthermore, a shut-off valve is installed in the infusion tubing. By opening the shut-off valve, the oil inside the hydraulic cylinder flows back into the oil tank, at which point the lifting rod 22 descends.

[0025] The foot pedal 23 in this embodiment allows medical staff to control the overall height of the nursing tray by foot movement, both before and after surgery, thus avoiding hand contact contamination and providing convenience for medical staff in the operating room.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lifting mechanism 20 has a tray body 30 on its top. A locking assembly 40 is provided between the lower end of the tray body 30 and the top of the lifting rod 22. The locking assembly 40 includes a fixed shaft 41 fixedly connected to the tray body 30 and a mounting groove 42 fixedly connected to the top of the lifting rod 22. By inserting the fixed shaft 41 into the mounting groove 42, the tray body 30 is mounted onto the lifting rod 22. The fixed shaft 41 can rotate within the mounting groove 42, but there is some resistance during rotation, which avoids instability caused by the rotational connection. When using the tray, the direction of the tray can be adjusted by the connection between the fixed shaft 41 and the mounting groove 42. During surgery, the tray's direction needs to be adjusted by rotating the base, further improving the tray's convenience.

[0027] Furthermore, after the tray body 30 has been used, it can be easily removed from the lifting rod 22 by simply lifting it upwards, making it convenient for cleaning and disinfection.

[0028] However, the trays currently used in operating rooms have a fixed area for carrying items. If there are many devices, two or even more trays may be needed, which will reduce the space for medical staff to move around during surgery. To avoid this problem, this application also makes certain improvements to the tray body 30.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, two sets of guide components are fixedly installed at the bottom of the pallet body 30. Each set of guide components includes two guide blocks 31. Guide grooves 32 are formed on the opposite surfaces of the two guide blocks 31 in each set. A sliding rod 33 (with a gap between the sliding rod 33 and the guide groove 32) is slidably connected inside the guide groove 32. An extension plate 34 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 33. In this embodiment, the extension plate 34 can move at the bottom of the pallet body 30 by sliding the sliding rod 33 inside the guide groove 32. When it is necessary to increase the usable area of ​​the pallet body 30, the extension plate 34 can simply be pulled out from the bottom of the pallet body 30. When not in use, the extension plate 34 is hidden at the bottom of the pallet body 30 and does not occupy additional space. This achieves the effect of increasing the pallet's load-bearing area.

[0030] Furthermore, the two ends of the guide groove 32 are designed to be limited, so the sliding rod 33 has a limited range of movement and will not detach from the inside of the guide groove 32.

[0031] like Figure 5As shown, furthermore, to ensure stability after the extension plate 34 is extended, a fixing plate 341 with a slot is fixedly installed at the bottom of the extension plate 34, and a limiting plate 342 corresponding to the slot is fixedly installed on the guide block 31. In this embodiment, when the extension plate 34 is pulled out, under the action of gravity, and with the gap between the sliding rod 33 and the guide groove 32, the extension plate 34 will tend to move downward on the end face away from the sliding rod 33. At this time, the fixing plate 341 at the bottom of the extension plate 34 will move closer to the limiting plate 342, and then the limiting plate 342 will be inserted into the slot, thus achieving the limiting and fixing of the extension plate 34 after it is pulled out.

[0032] Based on this, the outer edge of the slot is vertically designed, while the inner edge is inclined. This design has the advantage that when the extension plate 34 is pulled out, it is easily pulled out due to the inclined inner edge. However, when the extension plate 34 is pushed inward under external force, it is difficult to push inward due to the vertical edge. This ensures that after the extension plate 34 is pulled out, it will not retract back to the bottom of the tray due to accidental contact, preventing items placed on the tray from falling off. When it is necessary to retract the extension plate 34, it needs to be lifted upward so that the slot is away from the limiting plate 342. At this point, the extension plate 34 is in a free-moving state, and pushing it inward completes the storage. This achieves the desired tray storage and organization effect.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
