Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical support technology, specifically to a surgical support that is easy to adjust in height. Background Technology

[0002] A surgical support frame is a bracket installed on the operating table to support the surgical drape covering the patient, preventing it from getting too close to the patient's face and thus affecting their breathing. Normally, the height of the surgical support frame needs to be adjusted manually. However, when medical staff need to adjust the height of the frame during surgery, they must first remove their medical gloves, then disinfect their hands after making the adjustment, and then put their gloves back on. This entire process is cumbersome and makes adjusting the surgical support frame inconvenient. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a surgical support frame that is easily adjustable in height to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a surgical support that is easy to adjust in height, so as to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A height-adjustable surgical support includes an operating table. Two vertical tubes are fixed to the top outer wall of the operating table. A base is provided on one side of the operating table. A lifting rod is inserted into the interior of each vertical tube. A piston is fixed to the bottom end of the lifting rod, and a support plate is provided at the top end of the lifting rod. An air-blowing assembly is fixed inside the base. An air-venting assembly is provided on one side outer wall of the base. The air-blowing assembly includes a cylinder embedded inside the base. A piston is provided inside the cylinder, and a pressing column is fixed to the top end of the piston. A spring is located at the bottom of the piston inside the cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, a one-way outlet valve is connected to one side of the outer wall of the cylinder body, and the one-way outlet valve is connected to the vertical pipe through a pipe. A one-way inlet valve is also connected to one side of the outer wall of the cylinder body.

[0007] Furthermore, a support rod is fixed to the top of the lifting rod, and the support plate is fixed to the top of the support rod.

[0008] Furthermore, a retaining ring is fixed to the top of the vertical tube, and the retaining ring is sleeved on the outside of the lifting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the exhaust assembly includes a guide cylinder fixed to the inner wall of the base, an extrusion column inserted into one side of the outer wall of the base, one end of the extrusion column extending into the interior of the guide cylinder and fixed with a stop block, a through groove being opened inside the extrusion column, a sealing ring being fixed inside the guide cylinder, the sealing ring being sleeved on the outside of the extrusion column, and the guide cylinder being connected to the vertical pipe through a pipe.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a surgical support frame that is easy to adjust in height, including an operating table 5. Two vertical tubes 1 are fixed to the top outer wall of the operating table 5. A base 23 is provided on one side of the operating table 5. A lifting rod 2 is inserted into the inside of the vertical tubes 1. A piston 8 is fixed to the bottom end of the lifting rod 2. A support plate 4 is provided at the top end of the lifting rod 2. An air-blowing assembly 6 is fixed inside the base 23. An exhaust assembly 7 is provided on one side outer wall of the base 23. The air-blowing assembly 6 includes a cylinder 19 embedded inside the base 23. A piston 21 is provided inside the cylinder 19. A pressing column 20 is fixed to the top end of the piston 21. A spring 22 located at the bottom of the piston 21 is provided inside the cylinder 19.

[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, an operating table 5 is included. Two vertical tubes 1, both round, are fixed to the top outer wall of the operating table 5 and are located at the two side edges of the operating table 5. The vertical tubes 1 are bolted to the operating table 5, allowing for installation and disassembly. A base 23 is provided on one side of the operating table 5. A lifting rod 2 is inserted into the inside of the vertical tube 1. A piston 8 is fixed to the bottom end of the lifting rod 2, providing a dynamic seal between the piston 8 and the inner wall of the vertical tube 1. A support plate 4 is provided at the top of the lifting rod 2, supporting the disposable surgical drape. An air-inflating assembly 6 is fixed inside the base 23. When the air-inflating assembly 6 is stepped on, air is continuously injected into the vertical tube 1. This causes piston 8 to lift the lifting rod 2 and its top support plate 4. An exhaust assembly 7 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the base 23. When the exhaust assembly 7 is opened, it can discharge the air inside the vertical pipe 1, causing the lifting rod 2 and the support plate 4 to descend under the action of gravity. The air blowing assembly 6 includes a cylinder 19 embedded in the base 23. The cylinder 19 opens upward. A piston 21 is provided inside the cylinder 19. A pressing column 20 is fixed at the top of the piston 21. The pressing column 20 extends to the outside of the cylinder 19, making it easy to step on with a foot. A spring 22 is provided inside the cylinder 19 at the bottom of the piston 21. When the foot does not press down on the pressing column 20, the spring 22 can reset the pressing column 20.

[0023] This utility model provides a surgical support frame that is easy to adjust in height. The air blowing component 6 blows air into the interior of the vertical tube 1, which in turn causes the piston 8 to drive the vertical rod and the support plate 4 at the top to rise. The air is then expelled from the interior of the vertical tube 1 by the exhaust component 7, causing the support plate 4 to fall. This allows medical staff to adjust the height of the support plate 4 with their feet, eliminating the need for hand adjustment and preventing hand contamination during the adjustment process. This makes the height adjustment of the support frame more convenient.

[0024] In another embodiment of this utility model, a one-way outlet valve 17 is connected to one side of the outer wall of the cylinder 19. The air inside the cylinder 19 can only flow out through the one-way outlet valve 17 in one direction. The one-way outlet valve 17 is connected to the vertical pipe 1 through a pipe, so that when the foot presses down on the pressing column 20, the air inside the cylinder 19 is pressed into the vertical pipe 1 by the piston 21. A one-way inlet valve 18 is connected to one side of the outer wall of the cylinder 19. The external air can only enter the cylinder 19 through the one-way inlet valve 18. When the spring 22 pushes the piston 21 upward, the external air enters the cylinder 19 through the one-way inlet valve 18, so that when the pressing column 20 is repeatedly pressed down, air can be continuously injected into the vertical pipe 1.

[0025] In another embodiment of this utility model, a support rod 3 is fixed to the top of the lifting rod 2, and the two ends of the support rod 3 are respectively fixed to the top of the two lifting rods 2. A support plate 4 is fixed to the top of the support rod 3. The support plate 4 and the support rod 3 are detachable. The prior art only supports the surgical drape with the support rod 3. When the doctor performs surgery, the surgical instruments need to be placed on the part of the surgical drape that is supported for convenience. The support area is small, which will cause the surgical instruments to be placed unstable and the surgical instruments are easy to press on the patient. The support plate 4 increases the support area, making the surgical instruments more stable and less likely to press on the patient. A retaining ring 9 is fixed to the top of the vertical tube 1. The retaining ring 9 is sleeved on the outside of the lifting rod 2. The retaining ring 9 can block the piston-8, so that the lifting rod 2 will not fall off the vertical tube 1. At the same time, the retaining ring 9 has air holes, so that the piston-8 will not be obstructed when it moves upward.

[0026] In another embodiment of this utility model, the exhaust assembly 7 includes a guide cylinder 10 fixed to the inner wall of the base 23. A compression column 11 is inserted into one outer wall of the base 23. One end of the compression column 11 extends into the interior of the guide cylinder 10 and is fixed with a stop block 14. A through groove 12 is formed inside the compression column 11. A sealing ring 13 is fixed inside the guide cylinder 10. The sealing ring 13 is sleeved on the outside of the compression column 11, and the inner wall of the sealing ring 13 is in close contact with the outer wall of the compression column 11. The guide cylinder 10 is connected to the vertical pipe 1 via a pipe, allowing the guide cylinder 10 to... The vertical pipe 1 is connected; the inside of the guide cylinder 10 is provided with a spring 15, and the side wall of the stop block 14 is provided with a notch 16, which realizes the function of air circulation. The stop block 14 is located between the sealing ring 13 and the spring 15. The spring 15 resets the extrusion column 11. The extrusion column 11 is inserted into the guide cylinder 10, and the sealing ring 13 is sleeved on the outside of the extrusion column 11. So that when the exhaust assembly 7 exhausts, it only needs to squeeze the extrusion column 11 with its foot, thereby realizing the flexibility and convenient operation of the exhaust assembly 7.

[0027] Working principle: When the support plate 4 needs to be raised, the pressing column 20 is repeatedly stepped on with the foot, causing the piston 21 to force the air inside the cylinder 19 into the vertical tube 1. This causes the air pressure inside the vertical tube 1 to drive the piston 8 upward, thus raising the support plate 4. When the support plate 4 needs to be lowered, the pressing column 11 is pressed into the guide cylinder 10 with the foot, causing the through groove 12 of the pressing column 11 to pass through the sealing ring 13. This allows the guide cylinder 10 to connect with the outside through the through groove 12, allowing the air inside the vertical tube 1 to be discharged from the through groove 12. The support plate 4 and the support rod 3 move downward by gravity, thus lowering the support plate 4. When the pressing column 11 is not pressed, the spring 15 resets the pressing column 11 through its elasticity. At this time, the sealing ring 13 does not correspond to the through groove 12, and the air inside the vertical tube 1 cannot be discharged, thus fixing the height of the support plate 4 after it is lowered.

[0028] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
