Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically a two-stage, two-cylinder hydraulic device. Background Technology
[0002] The modern operating table is a crucial piece of equipment in surgical procedures, and its stability and adjustability directly affect surgical precision and the efficiency of medical staff. As a core functional module of the operating table, the column lifting system must meet requirements such as precise positioning, stepless adjustment, low noise, and high load capacity.
[0003] Currently, most mainstream hydraulic lifting systems for operating tables use single-stage or double-stage hydraulic cylinders. However, these systems have the following drawbacks in practical applications: The stroke and size of a single-stage hydraulic cylinder are contradictory: to achieve a larger lifting range (e.g., 500-1000mm), the cylinder length needs to be significantly increased, resulting in a bulky column structure and affecting the utilization rate of operating room space; insufficient rigidity: long-stroke single-stage cylinders are prone to radial sway under cantilever loads, especially when adjusting the patient's position during surgery, which may cause slight vibrations on the bed surface, threatening surgical precision; ordinary double-stage hydraulic cylinders can achieve a lower height and larger lifting range, but the cylinder diameters of the first and second stages are different, resulting in speed differences during transitions.

[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown in 7 and 10, a two-stage, two-cylinder hydraulic device is provided, comprising: cylinder head 1, cylinder seat 2, upper hydraulic cylinder 3, lower hydraulic cylinder 4, first oil supply pipe 5, second oil supply pipe 6, rodless chamber oil supply pipe 7, rod chamber oil supply pipe 8, and connecting rod 9.
[0038] An upper hydraulic cylinder 3, a lower hydraulic cylinder 4, a rodless chamber oil supply pipe 7, a rod chamber oil supply pipe 8, and a connecting rod 9 are provided between the cylinder head 1 and the cylinder seat 2.

[0043] like Figure 5-6 As shown, an upper cylinder rod chamber oil passage 1-5 is provided on the side wall of the upper cylinder upper bayonet 1-1. One end of the upper cylinder rod chamber oil passage 1-5 is connected to the upper cylinder rod chamber, and the other end is connected to the second oil supply pipe 6.

[0047] There are several connecting rods 9, which are evenly distributed between the cylinder head 1 and the cylinder seat 2 to provide support.
[0048] The connecting rod 9 has threads at both ends. One end passes through the cylinder head 1 and is fixed with a nut, while the other end is fixedly connected to the internal threads of the cylinder seat 2.
[0049] Both the cylinder head 1 and the cylinder seat 2 are rectangular parallelepipeds.
[0050] The working principle of this utility model:
[0051] 1. Oil enters through the first oil supply pipe and returns through the second oil supply pipe, causing the piston rod to extend:
[0052] like Figure 7-9 As shown (of which) Figure 8 It can be seen as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The section shown is in the BB direction. Figure 9 It can be seen as Figure 3 and Figure 4 (As shown in the AA direction section); as Figure 8 As shown, the oil entering from the first oil supply pipe 5 is divided into two paths. One path passes through the rodless chamber oil supply pipe 7 and the upper cylinder rodless chamber oil passage 2-5 to enter the rodless chamber of the upper cylinder 3-1, driving the upper piston rod 3-2 to extend out of the upper cylinder 3-1. The other path passes through the lower cylinder rodless chamber oil passage 1-6 to enter the rodless chamber of the lower cylinder 4-1, driving the lower piston rod 4-2 to extend out. Figure 9 As shown, during the piston rod extension process, the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber of the upper cylinder 3-1 returns to the second oil supply pipe 6 through the upper cylinder rod chamber oil passage 1-5; the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber of the lower cylinder 4-1 returns to the second oil supply pipe through the lower cylinder rod chamber oil passage 2-6 and the rod chamber oil supply pipe 8.
[0053] 2. Oil enters through the second oil supply pipe and returns through the first oil supply pipe, causing the piston rod to retract:
[0054] like Figure 10-12 As shown (of which) Figure 11 It can be seen as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The section shown is in the AA direction. Figure 12 It can be seen as Figure 3 and Figure 4 (The BB direction section is shown in the figure). Figure 11 As shown, the oil inlet from the second oil supply pipe 6 is divided into two paths. One path enters the rod chamber of the upper cylinder 3-1 through the rod chamber oil passage 1-5 of the upper cylinder, driving the upper piston rod 3-2 to retract into the upper cylinder 3-1. The other path enters the rod chamber of the lower cylinder 4-1 through the rod chamber oil supply pipe 8 and the rod chamber oil passage 2-6 of the lower cylinder, driving the lower piston rod 4-2 to retract into the lower cylinder 4-1.
[0055] like Figure 12 As shown, during the piston rod retraction process, the hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber of the upper cylinder 3-1 returns to the first oil supply pipe 5 via the upper cylinder rodless chamber oil passage 2-5 and the rodless chamber oil supply pipe 7; the hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber of the lower cylinder 4-1 returns to the second oil supply pipe 6 via the lower cylinder rodless chamber oil passage 1-6.
[0056] The two cylinders of this invention are the same size, which ensures that the pressure and speed of the two piston rods remain constant when they extend, resulting in smoother operation.
[0057] Both hydraulic cylinders of this invention can extend their rods, and the two piston rods are not concentric. The overall shape of the hydraulic cylinders is rectangular, which is more suitable for the internal space of the operating table column.
[0058] Ordinary two-stage hydraulic cylinders can achieve relatively low height dimensions and large-scale lifting. However, since the first and second stage hydraulic cylinders are connected in series with different cylinder diameters and piston sizes, when switching to the second stage hydraulic cylinder after the first stage has fully extended, the piston area decreases sharply, resulting in reduced output pressure, slower speed, and lower load-bearing capacity. The hydraulic device provided by this utility model does not have this problem. The two hydraulic cylinders in this device have the same cylinder diameter and equal piston area, which can ensure that the output pressure remains stable and the operating speed remains constant. Moreover, it can maximize space utilization within a square column cylinder.
[0059] For any content not described in detail in this utility model, conventional technical knowledge in the field can be used.
[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
