Power supply device for medical equipment

Abstract

The present invention provides a power supply device for medical equipment having a novel structure that can output an accurate amount of power in response to a received control signal. [Solution] The medical device power supply device 200 includes one or more of the following: a power source that generates power; a power transmission unit that transmits power generated from the power source; a slider that is powered by the power transmission unit to provide power to the medical device; and a slider support base having a slider coupling unit that supports the slider and to which the slider is operably coupled.

Claims

1. Medical devices including endoscopes, Includes a power supply device to which the connector of the medical device is connected, The aforementioned power supply device is A power source that generates power; A power transmission unit that transmits power generated from the aforementioned power source; A slider that operates by receiving power from the power transmission unit in order to provide power to the aforementioned medical device; and, A slider support base having a slider coupling portion that supports the slider and to which the slider is operably coupled; The connector of the medical device is equipped with a power receiver.
