A roller 24 is rotatably installed in the first mounting seat 23 and the roller 24 is in contact with the surface of the support rod 22.

[0027] Specifically, the support rod 22 is driven to rise and fall within the sleeve 21 by a drive device, and the roller 24 can limit the rise and fall of the support rod 22 and reduce friction, thus facilitating the rise and fall of the support rod 22. When the support rod 22 rises and falls, the height of the table 3 can be adjusted, making the trolley easy for doctors of different heights to use.

[0028] In this embodiment, the base 1 includes an equipment box 101, a caster wheel 102 is installed at the bottom of the equipment box 101, the caster wheel 102 has a braking function, a side plate 103 is fixed to the equipment box 101 by screws, a battery 104 is installed inside the equipment box 101, heat dissipation holes 105 are opened on the surface of the side plate 103, and a sleeve 21 is fixedly installed at the top of the equipment box 101.

[0029] Specifically, the omnidirectional wheels 102 facilitate the movement of the trolley, and the omnidirectional wheels 102 have a braking function to prevent the trolley from moving when the doctor is operating the all-in-one computer 7. The heat dissipation holes 105 reduce the impact of heat accumulation on the battery 104, and the side panel 103 is removable, which facilitates the maintenance and charging of the battery 104.

[0030] In this embodiment, the driving device includes a servo motor 25, and a storage cavity 26 is opened at one end of the support rod 22 located in the sleeve 21. A nut 27 is embedded and fixedly installed at the opening of the storage cavity 26. The output shaft of the servo motor 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 28. The screw 28 is threadedly connected to the nut 27 and one end is located in the storage cavity 26.

[0031] Specifically, the servo motor 25 drives the screw 28 to rotate, while the support rod 22 is inserted into the sleeve 21 and limited by the roller 24. Therefore, when the servo motor 25 drives the screw 28 to rotate, the support rod 22 can be raised and lowered within the sleeve 21 under the action of the nut 27, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the table 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the adjustment component 5 includes a column 51 fixedly installed at the top of the tabletop 3. A square ring 52 is sleeved on the outside of the column 51. There is a gap between the back of the square ring 52 and the back of the column 51. Slide grooves 53 are provided on both sides of the column 51. Guide blocks 54 are integrally provided on the inner walls of both sides of the square ring 52. The guide blocks 54 are slidably connected to the slide grooves 53. A second mounting seat 55 is installed on the front of the square ring 52. An adjustment block 56 is rotatably installed in the second mounting seat 55 through a damping shaft. A fixing plate 57 is fixedly installed on the front of the adjustment block 56. Fixing holes are provided on the surface of the fixing plate 57. The integrated computer 7 is connected to the fixing plate 57 by screws through the fixing holes. An adjustment tooth groove 58 is provided on the back of the column 51. A fixing component 59 is installed on the back of the square ring 52. The fixing component 59 cooperates with the adjustment tooth groove 58 to fix the position of the square ring 52.

[0033] Specifically, the square ring 52, in conjunction with the guide block 54, facilitates the adjustment of the height of the all-in-one computer 7. Doctors can adjust the height of the all-in-one computer 7 according to their personal comfort. The fixing component 59, in conjunction with the adjusting groove 58, can fix the height of the all-in-one computer 7. Since the adjusting block 56 is rotatably installed in the second mounting base 55 through the damping shaft, doctors can directly adjust the tilt angle of the all-in-one computer 7 by simply moving it. In this way, the height and angle of the all-in-one computer 7 can be easily adjusted.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixing component 59 includes a sleeve 591 fixedly installed on the back of the square ring 52. A circular hole communicating with the sleeve 591 is opened on the surface of the square ring 52. A connecting rod 592 is inserted and installed in the sleeve 591 and the circular hole. One end of the connecting rod 592 located in the gap is connected to the fixing block 593. The fixing block 593 is fixedly connected to the insert block 594. The other end of the connecting rod 592 is fixedly connected to the baffle 595. A spring 596 is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve 591 and the connecting rod 592. The two ends of the spring 596 are respectively connected to the baffle 595 and the square ring 52. The insert block 594 is inserted into the adjusting tooth groove 58. When the fixing block 593 is in contact with the inner wall of the square ring 52, the insert block 594 is completely disengaged from the adjusting tooth groove 58.

[0035] Specifically, by pulling the baffle 595 backward, the connecting rod 592 causes the insert 594 to disengage from the adjusting tooth groove 58. Then, the square ring 52 can be slid up and down to adjust the height of the all-in-one computer 7. Then, by releasing the baffle 595, the connecting rod 592 causes the insert 594 to be inserted into the adjusting tooth groove 58 under the action of the spring 596. Therefore, the height of the all-in-one computer 7 can be fixed. This adjustment method is simple and convenient.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bottom of the adjusting groove 58 is horizontal and the top is inclined, and the size of the insert block 594 matches the size of the adjusting groove 58.

[0037] Specifically, since the bottom of the adjusting groove 58 is horizontal and the top is inclined, when the doctor slides the square ring 52 upward, the inclined surface of the top surface of the insert 594 abuts against the inclined surface of the top surface of the adjusting groove 58. At this time, the inclined force generated when sliding the square ring 52 upward can push the insert 594 out of the adjusting groove 58. Therefore, the staff can quickly adjust the height of the square ring 52 upward. Since the bottom of the adjusting groove 58 is horizontal, when the height of the integrated computer 7 needs to be adjusted downward, the insert 594 must be disengaged from the adjusting groove 58 before it can be lowered. Therefore, this method can improve the stability of the height of the integrated computer 7.

[0038] In this embodiment, the trash can 13 includes a can body 131. A hook 132 is installed on the top of one side of the can body 131. The hook 132 is attached to the surface of the hanging rod 12. A stop block 133 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the can body 131. The stop block 133 fits against the side of the drawer cabinet 10 to keep the can body 131 vertical.

[0039] Specifically, a garbage bag is placed inside the bin 131. When doctors make rounds, they sometimes need to examine patients or check their wounds. The medical waste generated at this time can be directly thrown into the garbage bag inside the garbage bin 13, which facilitates the collection and disposal of medical waste generated during rounds. The hanging rod 12 and the hook 132 make it easy to remove the garbage bin 13.

[0040] In this embodiment, a first switch 14 is installed on the top of the light box 4, a second switch 15 is installed on the side of the drawer cabinet 10, the battery 104 is electrically connected to the light box 4 and the servo motor 25 through the first switch 14 and the second switch 15 respectively, and the all-in-one computer 7 is electrically connected to the battery 104.

[0041] Specifically, the first switch 14 facilitates the lighting of the light box 4, and the second switch 15 facilitates the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor 25.

[0042] Working principle: Since the all-in-one computer 7 is connected to the hospital's intranet signal, doctors can directly view patients' medical records or observe the electronic X-ray and CT scans through the all-in-one computer 7. If the physical films for some patients have already been produced, doctors can open the light box 4 and hold the films with the elastic clips 6, making it easy to observe the contents of the films through the light box 4. This eliminates the need for doctors to memorize patients' medical history and film content in advance in the office during ward rounds; they can directly view the films during the rounds and explain them to the patients, thus improving the patient's medical experience. The platform 3 of the cart can be adjusted to accommodate doctors of different heights, and the height and angle of the all-in-one computer 7 can also be adjusted, making the cart suitable for doctors of different heights and improving its practicality.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
