However, medical foot pedals are often exposed to the hospital environment for extended periods, making their outer surface susceptible to contamination from liquids, medications, and dust. Especially during surgery, frequent splashes of patient blood and irrigation fluids can easily cause surface contamination. Therefore, a reliable protective structure is needed for these foot pedals.

[0003] The existing conventional technology involves covering the outside of the medical foot pedal device with a plastic bag to physically isolate it from direct contamination. However, the bottom of the plastic bag is smooth, and when the doctor applies force by stepping on it, the medical foot pedal device is prone to sliding or shifting inside the bag, affecting the doctor's stability and safety during use. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a protective structure for a medical foot pedal device, thereby solving the technical problem that existing medical foot pedal devices are prone to slipping under protective conditions.

[0005] Another objective of this invention is to improve the hygienic reliability of medical foot pedal devices.

[0006] Specifically, this utility model provides a protective structure for a medical foot pedal device, comprising: A sealed bag is provided to cover the outer surface of the foot pedal device and has a cable opening for the foot pedal device's cable to pass through. An auxiliary bag is attached to one side of the sealed bag and has an internal cavity; The base plate, located within the cavity, includes a positioning plate and multiple support blocks.

[0007] Optionally, the sealing bag and the auxiliary bag are integrally formed.

[0008] Optionally, the sealing bag has a first part, a second part, and a first sealing strip, the first part being located at the bottom of the foot pedal device and having the cable opening; The second part is integrally formed with the first part, and a first opening is formed between them. The first sealing strip is disposed at the first opening to seal the first opening.

[0009] Optionally, the auxiliary bag includes a body and a second sealing strip. The body is integrally formed with the first part and forms a second opening between the body and the first part. The second sealing strip is disposed at the second opening to seal the second opening. The cable opening is exposed on the outside of the auxiliary bag.

[0010] Optionally, the body has a plurality of third openings, each of which is for passing through one of the support blocks and has an elastic cord around its periphery, the elastic cord causing the third opening to fit against the support block for sealing.

[0011] Optionally, the surfaces of the sealing bag, the auxiliary bag, and the substrate are all coated with an antibacterial coating.

[0012] Optionally, each of the support blocks has a mounting groove at its bottom, and the base plate further includes: Multiple magnetic components, with at least one magnetic component installed in each of the mounting slots, the magnetic components being used to adhere to the metal floor on the ground.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one specific embodiment, the protective structure 100 includes a sealing bag 1, an auxiliary bag 2, and a base plate 3. The sealing bag 1 covers the outer surface of the foot pedal device 200 and has a cable opening 11 for the cable of the foot pedal device 200 to pass through. The auxiliary bag 2 is connected to one side of the sealing bag 1 and has an internal cavity. The base plate 3 is located within the cavity and includes a positioning plate 31 and multiple support blocks 32. The positioning plate 31 supports the foot pedal device 200, and each support block 32 protrudes from the positioning plate 31 toward the outside of the auxiliary bag 2 to contact the ground. The lower surface of the support block 32 is provided with anti-slip texture. Specifically, the position and design of the cable opening 11 are optimized to ensure that the sealing performance of the sealing bag 1 is not affected while allowing the cable to pass through normally. Both the sealing bag 1 and the auxiliary bag 2 are made of transparent medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC material has good biocompatibility, chemical resistance, and durability, making it suitable for use in medical environments. The transparency of PVC allows doctors to clearly see the status and position of the foot pedal device 200, facilitating use and maintenance. The wall thickness of the sealing bag 1 is 0.15mm-0.2mm, for example, 0.15mm, 0.18mm, 0.19mm, or 0.2mm. This thickness range provides sufficient mechanical strength and tear resistance while maintaining flexibility, ensuring that the sealing bag 1 has good protective function, effectively isolating liquids, dust, or other contaminants, and maintaining stability during long-term use.

[0028] This embodiment of the utility model, while meeting the protection requirements of the medical foot pedal device 200, also features a support block 32 that is in direct contact with the ground and has anti-slip textures on its lower surface to increase friction with the ground. This prevents the foot pedal device 200 from sliding or shifting when stepped on, ensuring stability and safety during use.

[0029] In some embodiments, the sealing bag 1 and the auxiliary bag 2 are integrally formed. Specifically, the sealing bag 1 and the auxiliary bag 2 adopt an integrally formed structure, which can avoid the risk of leakage caused by bonding or splicing at the seams, and improve the sealing performance and reliability of the protective structure 100; at the same time, it reduces assembly steps, simplifies the manufacturing process, and makes the protective structure 100 less prone to deformation or loosening, thereby maintaining good protective performance and durability in long-term use.

[0030] In some embodiments, the sealed bag 1 has a first portion 12, a second portion 13, and a first sealing strip 14. The first portion 12 is located at the bottom of the foot pedal device 200 and has a cable opening 11. The second portion 13 is integrally formed with the first portion 12 and forms a first opening between them. The first sealing strip 14 is disposed at the first opening to seal it. Specifically, the first sealing strip 14 is a zipper-type sealing structure. By opening and closing the zipper, the foot pedal device 200 can be easily placed into or removed from the sealed bag 1. After the zipper is closed, a continuous sealing interface is formed to prevent liquids, dust, or other contaminants from entering from the first opening, thereby improving the protective reliability of the sealed bag 1 while ensuring ease of use.

[0031] In some embodiments, the auxiliary bag 2 includes a body 21 and a second sealing strip 22. The body 21 is integrally formed with the first part 12 and a second opening is formed between the body 21 and the first part 12. The second sealing strip 22 is disposed at the second opening to seal the second opening. The cable opening 11 is exposed on the outside of the auxiliary bag 2. Specifically, the second sealing strip 22 has a zipper structure, which can be easily opened or closed by pulling and closing, so that the substrate 3 can be easily placed into or taken out of the auxiliary bag 2. After the zipper is closed, a continuous sealing interface can be formed to prevent liquids, dust and other contaminants from entering the interior of the auxiliary bag 2 from the second opening. The cable opening 11 is exposed on the outside of the auxiliary bag 2, so that the cable can be smoothly led out without affecting the sealing performance, thereby making the protective structure 100 both convenient to operate and protective integrity.

[0032] In some embodiments, the main body 21 has a plurality of third openings, each for a support block 32 to pass through, and each opening is provided with an elastic cord around its periphery. The elastic cord causes the third opening to fit against the support block 32 for sealing. Specifically, each third opening is provided with an elastic cord around its periphery. The elastic cord can automatically tighten after the support block 32 passes through the third opening, so that the periphery of the third opening fits tightly against the outer wall of the support block 32, forming a partial seal. This not only ensures the exposure and anti-slip function of the support block 32, but also prevents liquid or dust from entering the interior of the auxiliary bag 2 from the third opening.

[0033] In some embodiments, the surfaces of the sealing bag 1, the auxiliary bag 2, and the substrate 3 are all coated with an antibacterial coating. Specifically, the purpose of providing the antibacterial coating is to effectively inhibit the adhesion and reproduction of bacteria and other microorganisms on the surface of the protective device in a medical environment, reduce the risk of cross-infection, and maintain the long-term cleanliness and hygiene of the foot pedal device 200. In addition, the thickness of the antibacterial coating ranges from 5μm to 15μm, for example, it can be 5μm, 8μm, 10μm, 13μm, or 15μm. Limiting the thickness of the antibacterial coating to a certain range can ensure effective coverage and long-lasting effect of the antibacterial coating without affecting the flexibility and breathability of the sealing bag 1 and the auxiliary bag 2, and also avoid cracking or peeling caused by excessive thickness of the antibacterial coating, thereby achieving a good balance between antibacterial performance and structural durability.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, each support block 32 has a mounting groove at its bottom, and the base plate 3 also includes multiple magnetic components 33. At least one magnetic component 33 is installed in each mounting groove. The magnetic component 33 is used to adhere to the metal floor. Specifically, when the foot pedal 200 is placed on the metal floor, the magnetic component 33 can adhere to the metal floor. This design further enhances the stability of the protective structure 100 and the ground through magnetic adhesion, effectively preventing the foot pedal 200 from slipping or shifting due to external forces or vibrations during operation. Thus, it improves the overall fixation reliability and safety of use while achieving anti-slip function.

[0035] In some embodiments, both the sealing bag 1 and the auxiliary bag 2 are provided with venting structures. Specifically, both the sealing bag 1 and the auxiliary bag 2 are provided with venting structures to expel air from inside the sealing bag 1 and the auxiliary bag 2 during sealing or use. This design can prevent the sealing bag 1 and the auxiliary bag 2 from bulging and deforming due to air retention after sealing, and ensure that the surface of the sealing bag 1 is in close contact with the foot pedal device 200.

[0036] In one embodiment, the anti-slip texture is honeycomb-shaped or wavy-tooth-shaped. Specifically, the honeycomb texture and wavy-tooth shape can form a friction surface on the lower surface of the support block 32, increasing the contact area with the ground and maintaining good anti-slip performance under dry or slightly damp ground conditions.

[0037] In some embodiments, multiple support blocks 32 are arranged in a square array, and each support block 32 is cylindrical. Specifically, the arrangement of multiple support blocks 32 in a square array can form a uniform force distribution in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the overall stability of the pedal device 200 during pedaling. Each support block 32 has a cylindrical structure, and the cylindrical design can ensure that the support block 32 is evenly stressed when in contact with the ground, avoiding local stress concentration that could lead to wear or deformation. The diameter of the support block 32 is set to 2mm-5mm, for example, 2mm, 4mm or 5mm, and the height of the support block 32 is set to 1mm-3mm, for example, 1mm, 2mm or 3mm. Furthermore, the support block 32 is a silicone block with a Shore hardness of 70 to 80 degrees, which can ensure that the support block 32 has sufficient support strength while maintaining good flexibility, allowing the pedal device 200 to adapt to minor undulations in the ground. The spacing between adjacent support blocks 32 is 5mm-10mm, for example, 5mm, 8mm or 10mm, which helps to form a gap channel on the side of the auxiliary bag 2 away from the sealing bag 1, which facilitates the discharge of liquid or dust and prevents accumulation from affecting the anti-slip effect of the support block 32.

[0038] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
