[0027] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the drawings are only used to illustrate the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the present invention.

[0028] Figure 1 A three-dimensional view schematically illustrates a device with a hook according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded perspective view of the device with hooks shown. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial perspective view of the device with a hook, viewed from the bottom side, where the hook is in an upright position. Figure 1-3 The example shown is a plug-in box for a patient monitor, illustrating a device with hooks according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The hooks are used to support or hook various cables within the plug-in box of the patient monitor. It should be understood that the device with hooks according to the present invention is not limited to a plug-in box for a patient monitor, but can be any device that requires the installation of hooks. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the hook-equipped device 1 according to the present invention includes a body 3. In a preferred embodiment, the body 3 is shown as, for example, the base of a plug-in box and has a generally rectangular shape. It should be understood that the body 3 can have any suitable shape, such as cylindrical or prismatic. The hook-equipped device 1 according to the present invention also includes a hook 7 having a support shaft 5. Although in the preferred embodiment, the hook 7 has two hook portions 9 symmetrically arranged on the same plane, it should be understood that the hook 7 can have only one hook portion or more than two hook portions. In the case of multiple hook portions, the multiple hook portions do not necessarily need to be symmetrically arranged, and may not be arranged on the same plane. A mounting portion 11 for receiving the support shaft 5 of the hook 7 is provided on the body 3. In a preferred embodiment, two opposing mounting portions 11 are provided on the body 3, each mounting portion 11 having a groove 13 formed to receive the support shaft 5 of the hook 7. The groove 13 is preferably semi-circular or any other suitable shape. Of course, a circular hole for receiving the support shaft 5 of the hook 7 can also be formed on each mounting portion 11. It should be understood that any suitable mounting structure is feasible as long as it allows the hook 7 to be rotatably mounted to the body 3 via the support shaft 5. Furthermore, although in the preferred embodiment the support shaft 5 is integrally formed with the hook 7, the support shaft 5 can be formed and assembled separately from the hook 7. The device 1 with hook according to the present invention also includes an elastic element 15 acting on the hook 7, which keeps the hook 7 in an upright or retracted state relative to the body 3. In the upright state, the hook 7 protrudes relative to the body 3 to carry or hook various tubing or other items, such as a patient monitor's insertion box; in the retracted state, the hook 7 is rotated approximately 90° relative to the upright state to approach or abut against the body 3, thereby reducing the overall volume and space occupied by the device, such as the patient monitor's insertion box.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic element 15 can be a torsion spring, with one arm of the torsion spring connected to the body 3 and the other arm connected to the tail of the hook 7. This allows the hook 7 to remain in only two states—an upright state or a retracted state—by utilizing the permanent tension tendency of the two arms of the torsion spring, thus achieving both space-saving and aesthetic benefits.

[0030] Furthermore, the hook-equipped device 1 according to this invention may also include a cover plate 17, on which a through groove 19 matching the shape of the hook 7 is formed. The cover plate 17 can be mounted on the body 3 above the mounting portion 11 to cover the mounting portion 11 on the body 3 and the support shaft 5 received in the mounting portion 11, while allowing the hook 7 in the retracted state to be at least partially received in the through groove 19 on the cover plate 17.

[0031] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Another exploded perspective view of the device with hooks shown. The following will be combined with... Figure 4 The assembly process of the hook-equipped device 1 according to the present invention is described.

[0032] Place the support shaft 5 of the hook 7 into the semi-circular groove 13 of the mounting portion 11 on the body 3, fasten the cover plate 17, and then fasten the cover plate 17 to the body 3 with screws 21. At this time, the support shaft 5 of the hook 7 is positioned by the body 3 and the cover plate 17, providing only the freedom of rotation in the direction of rotation, and the rotation range is between 0 and 90 degrees. Next, insert the end of one arm of the torsion spring into the small hole on the body 3, and insert the end of the other arm of the torsion spring into the small hole on the tail of the hook 7, thus completing the assembly. In order to facilitate the installation of the torsion spring and to receive and accommodate the torsion spring during the operation of the hook 7, a through slot 23 is formed on the wall of the body 3 corresponding to the position of the torsion spring.

[0033] Figure 5 yes Figure 1 The schematic side view of the device with a hook shown indicates that the hook is positioned at approximately 45° to the horizontal. Figure 6 yes Figure 1 The schematic side view of the device with a hook shown indicates that the hook is in an upright position at a 90° angle to the horizontal direction. Figure 7 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic side view of a device with a hook, wherein the hook is in a retracted position parallel to the horizontal direction. Figure 5 As shown, when hook 7 is at approximately a 45° angle to the horizontal, the two arms of the torsion spring are in a state of extreme compression. According to the characteristics of the torsion spring, the compressed arms will inevitably seek to open. Since one arm of the torsion spring is connected to the body 3, forming a fixed end, and the other arm is connected to the tail of hook 7, the rotational freedom of the hook, which can rotate relative to the body about an axis, can be restricted to two directions. Thus, driven by the tension of the torsion spring, hook 7 will either rotate relative to the body to... Figure 6 The upright position shown can be rotated to, for example, the upright position shown. Figure 7 The storage state is shown. In the upright state, the hook 7 protrudes relative to the body 3 so as to support or hook various pipes or other items such as the plug-in box of a monitor; in the storage state, the hook 7 is rotated about 90° relative to the upright state to approach or abut against the body and is at least partially received in the through slot 19 on the cover plate 17, thereby reducing the overall volume and space occupied by the plug-in box of a monitor.

[0034] To rotate hook 7 from the upright position to the retracted position, the operator only needs to gently push hook 7 towards the through slot 19 on the cover plate to a position less than 45° relative to the horizontal direction. Hook 7 will then automatically enter the through slot 19 on the cover plate 17. To rotate hook 7 from the retracted position to the upright position, the operator only needs to... Figure 1 As shown by arrow A, hook 7 is lifted from the finger hole of the hook to a position greater than 45° relative to the horizontal direction, and hook 7 will automatically spring back to an upright position.

[0035] According to this utility model, the hook and the body of the device with hook can be rotatably assembled together in a simple and quick manner, which can provide a convenient, accurate, and flat mechanism while ensuring the load-bearing capacity.

[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, it should be understood that such detailed description is for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute a limitation thereof. The scope of the present invention is determined by the technical solutions defined in the claims.
