[0020] Example 1: like Figure 1-3 As shown, a side brake plate for a central control bed caster includes a main body 1. The main body 1 has a short plate 2 and a long plate 4 on its two sides respectively. A positioning groove is provided in the middle of one end of the main body 1. An upper cover 7 is provided at the top of the positioning groove, and a lower cover 8 is provided at the bottom of the positioning groove. An upper through groove is provided below the middle of the upper cover 7, and a lower through groove is provided below the middle of the lower cover 8. The upper through groove and the lower through groove cooperate to form a hexagonal groove 9, which is used to accommodate a hexagonal rod. The hexagonal rod is mounted on the caster. The main body 1 is provided with a screw 6, which passes downwards through the top of the main body 1, the upper cover 7, the lower cover 8, and the bottom of the main body 1. A nut is threaded into the bottom of the screw 6, and the nut is fixed to the bottom of the main body 1.

[0021] Both the upper cover 7 and the lower cover 8 are made of zinc alloy. The first anti-slip pad 3 is installed on the long plate 4, and the second anti-slip pad 5 is installed on the short plate 2. When the first anti-slip pad 3 is stepped on, the casters lock; when the second anti-slip pad 5 is stepped on, the casters release. The second anti-slip pad 5 and the first anti-slip pad 3, in different colors, serve to prevent slipping and identify direction in the product. In this embodiment, the length is 270-280mm, the width is 60-70mm, and the height is 40-50mm. The shape can be customized according to customer needs by replacing the upper cover 7 and the lower cover 8.

[0022] In this embodiment, the central control bed caster uses a side brake plate. The main body 1, the short plate 2, and the long plate 4 are set on one side of the caster and extend out from the bottom of the central control bed, making it convenient for medical staff to step on it to lock and release the caster, thus improving ease of use.

[0023] The top of the long board 4 on the side away from the main body 1 is provided with a second anti-slip pad 5, and the top of the short board 2 on the side away from the main body 1 is provided with a first anti-slip pad 3; the first anti-slip pad 3 is red, and the second anti-slip pad 5 is green. The first anti-slip pad 3 and the second anti-slip pad 5 serve to prevent slipping and also serve to identify the direction.

[0024] A through hole is provided below the positioning groove, and spring pieces 10 are provided on both sides of the through hole. One side of the spring piece 10 is fixed to the through hole, and a threaded groove is provided in the middle of the spring piece 10. The nut is limited to the threaded groove, and the spring piece 10 fits against the bottom of the lower cover 8. The setting of the spring piece 10 can increase the upward elastic force of the lower cover 8, so that the lower cover 8 can cooperate upward to lock the hexagonal bar, thereby improving the fixing effect.

[0025] Both sides of the positioning groove are provided with limiting grooves 11, and both sides of the upper cover 7 are provided with protrusions. The protrusions are inserted into the limiting grooves 11. The top of the positioning groove is provided with a groove, and the top of the upper cover 7 is provided with a top block. The top block is engaged with the groove. The limiting groove 11 engages with the protrusion, and the groove engages with the top block to identify the installation position of the upper cover 7 and prevent the upper cover 7 and the lower cover 8 from being installed backwards.

[0026] The bottom of the long plate 4 and the short plate 2 are evenly provided with a number of slots 12; the slots 12 can improve the strength of the long plate 4 and the bottom plate.

[0027] The length of the long plate 4 is greater than the length of the short plate 2; the long plate 4 is the braking end and the short plate 2 is the releasing end. The different lengths of the long plate 4 and the short plate 2 make it easier for the user to distinguish between the braking end and the releasing end.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
