[0002] Taking surgical lights as an example, in related technologies, the two half-shells of the surgical light head are joined together, and a sealing strip is set at the joint. One end of the column head connects the two half-shells. When the sealing strip extends to the column head, it is interfered with by the column head, and the cross-section of the sealing strip is exposed on the appearance of the medical device. In order to cover this cross-section, a silicone sleeve is designed to be placed around the outer periphery of the column head and as close as possible to the outer shell, so as to cover the cross-section through the silicone structure. However, the problem with this is that the visual delamination at the column head is severe, which affects the appearance. Utility Model Content

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0034] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this invention will not be described separately.

[0035] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be understood that the directional descriptions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to the orientation under normal use conditions, while "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the corresponding diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions under normal use conditions.

[0036] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. "A plurality of" means two or more.

[0037] This application provides a medical device.

[0038] There are no restrictions on the specific type of medical equipment. Medical equipment can be used in hospitals, clinics, or other similar facilities, or it can be used at home, or even in ambulances, etc.

[0039] For example, medical equipment could be a surgical light ( Figure 1 and Figure 3 (Structure shown), Tower Bridge ( Figure 6 (as shown in the structure), etc.

[0040] The medical device includes a housing, a sealing strip 14, and a connecting component 13.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 The housing includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12, which are connected and form a seam 10a at their joint (see reference). Figure 1 and Figure 2 In other words, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are separate structures, which are spliced ​​together, and a seam 10a is naturally formed at the splicing point.

[0042] The shape of the first housing 11 is not limited. The shape of the second housing 12 is also not limited.

[0043] For example, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are mated along a first direction. The connecting member 13 may extend in a direction that is substantially intersecting the first direction, for example, the connecting member 13 may extend in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0044] Please see Figure 4 A sealing strip 14 is detachably disposed between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The sealing strip 14 seals and covers the seam 10a. On the one hand, the sealing strip 14 needs to seal the seam 10a to reduce the probability of external dust and moisture entering the internal space of the housing through the seam 10a. On the other hand, the sealing strip 14 needs to cover the seam 10a to prevent the seam 10a from being exposed on the exterior surface of the medical device. In other words, it is intended to make the seam 10a invisible from the outside of the medical device, thereby improving the appearance and cleanliness of the medical device.

[0045] It should be noted that the sealing strip 14 is a prefabricated component and is not a strip structure formed after the glue has cured.

[0046] Since the sealing strip 14 is detachably disposed between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, it facilitates later maintenance. For example, when the medical device needs maintenance and the housing needs to be opened, the detachable connection of the sealing strip 14 facilitates the separation of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12; in addition, it also facilitates the replacement of the sealing strip 14 when it needs to be replaced due to aging or other reasons.

[0047] It should be noted that the first shell 11 can be entirely translucent (i.e., the entire first shell 11 is made of translucent material), or it can be partially translucent with the rest being opaque. Similarly, the second shell 12 can be entirely opaque, or it can be partially translucent with the rest being opaque.

[0048] In the case of opacity, it can be made of opaque material or translucent material, but the opacity effect is achieved by coating or pasting an opaque film layer.

[0049] One end of the connecting member 13 is located at the junction of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. That is, this end of the connecting member 13 is located on the extension line of the seam 10a. In other words, the seam 10a can be disconnected or not disconnected at the junction of the housing (first housing 11 and second housing 12) and the connecting member 13.

[0050] At least one of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is connected to the connecting member 13, and the sealing strip 14 is broken at the connecting member 13. That is to say, the sealing strip 14 is not a one-piece annular structure. The sealing strip 14 can be understood as a long strip structure with cross-sections (or cut surfaces) at both ends. Due to the interference of the connecting member 13, the sealing strip 14 cannot extend continuously and is broken at the connection.

[0051] The connecting component 13 can be connected to the first housing 11 without connecting to the second housing 12; it can also be connected to the second housing 12 without connecting to the first housing 11; or it can be connected to both the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

[0052] A clearance hole 13a is provided at the junction of the first housing 11, the second housing 12 and the connecting member 13 (see reference). Figure 2 The ends of the sealing strip 14 are inserted into the corresponding clearance holes 13a (refer to...). Figure 4 ).

[0053] In related technologies, the connecting component is a column head. When the sealing strip extends to the column head, it is interfered with by the column head, and the cross-section of the sealing strip is exposed on the surface of the medical device. In order to cover this cross-section, a silicone sleeve is designed to be placed around the outer periphery of the column head and as close as possible to the outer shell, so as to cover the cross-section through the silicone structure. However, the problem brought about by this is that the visual delamination at the column head is severe, which affects the appearance.

[0054] In this embodiment, due to the provision of the clearance hole 13a, the end of the sealing strip 14 can be inserted into the clearance hole 13a to achieve cross-section concealment. This prevents the cross-section of the sealing strip 14 from being exposed on the surface of the medical device, thus helping to maintain the consistency and neatness of the medical device's appearance and enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the clearance hole 13a does not impose requirements on the shape of the connecting component 13. Regardless of the type of connecting component 13, the cross-section of the sealing strip 14 can be well concealed (while in related technologies, the connecting component needs to be columnar to accommodate the silicone sleeve; the silicone sleeve cannot be used when the connecting component has other shapes).

[0055] It should be noted that the number of clearance holes 13a can be two.

[0056] In an embodiment where there are two clearance holes 13a, the ends of both ends of the sealing strip 14 are inserted into the corresponding clearance holes 13a. In this way, the cross-sections of both ends of the sealing strip 14 are not exposed on the surface of the medical device.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first housing 11 has a first opening on the side facing the second housing 12, and the second housing 12 has a second opening on the side facing the first housing 11. The first and second openings together form a closed inner cavity. Some components of the medical device can be disposed in this closed inner cavity. For example, circuit boards, cables, and other components.

[0058] A sealed interior helps protect the components housed within it. Furthermore, due to the special nature of medical equipment, especially in settings like wards and operating rooms, it requires regular wiping and disinfection. Therefore, the casing needs to maintain good sealing to prevent disinfectant from entering and corroding the internal components.

[0059] In some embodiments, the interior of the connecting component 13 is hollow, and the space inside the connecting component 13 communicates with the closed inner cavity. That is, the space inside the connecting component 13 is also closed and not connected to the external environment. This facilitates the arrangement of components within the space and closed inner cavity of the connecting component 13.

[0060] In some embodiments, the medical device includes cables, with the cables in the connecting member 13 entering the enclosed cavity from the end of the connecting member 13 near the housing. This allows for convenient wiring within the enclosed cavity and the space of the connecting member 13, achieving a cable-free appearance for the medical device and improving its cleanliness.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 An clearance hole 13a is formed on the side wall of the connecting member 13, and the end of the sealing strip 14 is inserted into the clearance hole 13a along the extension direction of the joint 10a. That is, the sealing strip 14 can be inserted into the clearance hole 13a along its original extension direction, and the sealing strip 14 does not need to be bent near the connecting member 13. During assembly, the end of the sealing strip 14 can be inserted into the clearance hole 13a without bending the sealing strip 14, which improves assembly convenience.

[0062] In other embodiments, the clearance hole 13a may also be formed in the housing.

[0063] For example, the first housing 11 is provided with a first half-groove, the second housing 12 is provided with a second half-groove, the first half-groove and the second half-groove are joined together and surround a clearance hole 13a, and the end of the sealing strip 14 is inserted into the clearance hole 13a in a direction closer to the inside of the housing.

[0064] It should be noted that there are two clearance holes 13a. Both clearance holes 13a can be formed on the housing, both clearance holes 13a can be formed on the side wall of the connecting member 13, or one clearance hole 13a can be formed on the housing and the other clearance hole 13a can be formed on the side wall of the connecting member 13.

[0065] In this embodiment, two clearance holes 13a are formed on the sidewalls of opposite sides of the connecting member 13 as an example for description.

[0066] In some embodiments, the connecting component 13 and the first housing 11 are integrally molded. For example, an integrally molded injection molded part. In other embodiments, the connecting component 13 and the second housing 12 are integrally molded. For example, an integrally molded injection molded part. In still other embodiments, the connecting component 13 includes a first portion 141 and a second portion 142, which are connected, wherein the first portion 141 and the first housing 11 are integrally molded (e.g., an integrally molded injection molded part), and the second portion 142 and the second housing 12 are integrally molded (e.g., an integrally molded injection molded part).

[0067] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the clearance hole 13a is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the sealing strip 14. That is, the sealing strip 14 and the clearance hole 13a adopt a contour-following design, so that the shape of the sealing strip 14 is as similar as possible to the shape of the clearance hole 13a. This helps the sealing strip 14 to maintain a good fit with the hole wall of the clearance hole 13a, which facilitates the smooth insertion of the sealing strip 14 into the clearance hole 13a and also helps to improve the sealing performance of the sealing strip 14 to the clearance hole 13a.

[0068] The cross-sectional shape of the sealing strip 14 refers to the shape of the cut surface perpendicular to the length direction of the sealing strip 14.

[0069] For example, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing strip 14 is approximately "I" shaped (see...). Figure 5 When the clearance hole 13a is in the same shape, it is roughly "I".

[0070] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the clearance hole 13a is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the sealing strip 14, so that the sealing strip 14 seals the clearance hole 13a. In this embodiment, it is advantageous to make the sealing strip 14 and the clearance hole 13a an interference fit, thus facilitating the sealing of the clearance hole 13a by the sealing strip 14.

[0071] In embodiments where the cross-sectional shape of the clearance hole 13a is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the sealing strip 14, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the clearance hole 13a is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the sealing strip 14, the sealing fit force between the sealing strip 14 and the hole wall of the clearance hole 13a is more uniform, and gaps are less likely to occur, which can further improve the sealing performance of the sealing strip 14 on the clearance hole 13a.

[0072] The material of the sealing strip 14 is not limited, as long as it can cover and seal the joint 10a.

[0073] For example, in some embodiments, the sealing strip 14 is an elastic structure. The material of the sealing strip 14 itself can undergo elastic deformation, so the joint 10a can be sealed well by utilizing the elasticity of the sealing strip 14 itself.

[0074] For example, the sealing strip 14 can be one of a rubber strip, a silicone strip, or a plastic strip. Rubber strips, silicone strips, and plastic strips all have good flexibility and elasticity, which can effectively seal the joint 10a and play a good sealing role.

[0075] The cross-sectional shape of the sealing strip 14 is not limited.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are mated along a first direction; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The sealing strip 14 has a first opening groove 14b and a second opening groove 14c on opposite sides in the first direction. The edge of the first housing 11 is engaged with the first opening groove 14b and seals against the groove wall of the first opening groove 14b. The edge of the second housing 12 is engaged with the second opening groove 14c and seals against the groove wall of the second opening groove 14c. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing strip 14 is approximately "I"-shaped. Thus, it is not necessary to provide a stepped surface inside the first housing 11, reducing the structural requirements of the first housing 11. In addition, the sealing strip 14 has a higher tolerance for the width of the butt joint 10a, reducing the requirements for the assembly and manufacturing precision of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. Furthermore, the structure of the sealing strip 14 located between the first opening groove 14b and the second opening groove 14c provides elastic support for the overall sealing strip 14, which helps to improve the structural strength of the sealing strip 14, facilitates the operator to insert the end of the sealing strip 14 into the clearance hole 13a, and the sealing strip 14 has good elastic support, which also helps to reliably seal the sealing strip 14 with the hole wall of the clearance hole 13a.

[0077] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The medical device is a surgical light, which includes a lamp head and a connecting arm 20. The lamp head includes a light-emitting component and a housing according to any of the above embodiments. The light-emitting component is disposed in the first housing 11 or the second housing 12. The connecting component 13 connects the housing and the connecting arm 20. The end of the connecting arm 20 away from the housing can be connected to the ceiling or other installation object.

[0078] In this embodiment, the connecting component 13 of the lamp head is roughly columnar in shape, and the connecting component 13 can also be referred to as a column head.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The medical equipment is a tower bridge. The tower bridge includes crossbeams and lighting fixtures 30 installed on one side of the crossbeams.

[0080] The beam extends roughly horizontally. Surgical equipment is usually placed below and in front of the beam.

[0081] The aforementioned shells constitute at least a portion of the crossbeam. For example, the first shell 11 is located above the second shell 12, and the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are joined together in the vertical direction.

[0082] In some embodiments, the crossbeam further includes end caps disposed at both ends of the crossbeam along its extension direction, the end caps closing the openings at both ends of the housing.

[0083] The lighting device 30 includes a housing and a light-emitting component, the light-emitting component being disposed within the housing, and the connecting member 13 forming at least a part of the housing. The light-emitting component can project light at least into the area of ​​the bed below and in front of the crossbeam.
