Description

OP-Tischsvstem OP-Tischsvstem
Die Erfindung betrifft ein OP-Tischsystem mit einer Patientenlagerfläche, die ein mit einer OP-Tischsäule koppelbares Basissegment und mindestens ein an diesem verstellbar angeordnetes weiteres Flächensegment sowie mindestens eine Stellvorrichtung zum Verstellen des Flächensegmentes relativ zum Basissegment hat, und mit einem Transporter zum Transport der Lagerfläche sowie zur Übernahme der Lagerfläche von einer und zur Übergabe der Lagerfläche an eine OP-Tischsäule.The invention relates to an operating table system with a patient support surface that has a base segment that can be coupled to an operating table column and at least one further surface segment that is adjustably arranged thereon and at least one adjusting device for adjusting the surface segment relative to the base segment, and with a transporter for transporting the storage surface as well as to take over the storage area from and to transfer the storage area to an operating table column.
Ein vorstehendes System ist beispielsweise aus dem Europäischen Patent 0 457 246 bekannt. Kennzeichnend für solche OP-Tischsysteme ist, daß die OP- Tischplatte oder Patientenlagerfläche von einer OP-Tischsäule abgenommen werden kann. Das hat den Vorteil, daß unterschiedliche, an die Art des jeweiligen erforderlichen chirurgischen Eingriffs optimal angepaßte Lagerflächen mit einer Tischsäule verbunden werden können.An above system is known, for example, from European Patent 0 457 246. It is characteristic of such operating table systems that the operating table top or patient support surface can be removed from an operating table column. This has the advantage that different bearing surfaces that are optimally adapted to the type of surgical intervention required can be connected to a table column.
Die Stellvorrichtung zur Verstellung eines verstellbaren Flächensegmentes relativ zum Basissegement enthält üblicherweise einen Elektroantrieb, der in das jeweilige Flächensegment oder das Basissegment der Lagerfläche integriert ist. Befindet sich die Lagerfläche auf der Tischsäule, erfolgt die Energieversorgung des Antriebes oder der Antrieb in der Lagerfläche sowie die Steuerung der Funktionen von der OP-Tischsäule her.The adjusting device for adjusting an adjustable surface segment relative to the base segment usually contains an electric drive, which is integrated into the respective surface segment or the base segment of the bearing surface. If the storage area is located on the table column, the drive or the drive in the storage area are supplied with energy and the functions are controlled from the operating table column.
Der dem OP-Tischsystem zugeordnete spezielle Transporter dient dem Transport des Patienten aus dem Vorbereitungsraum in den OP-Raum oder aus dem OP- Raum in einen Ausleitungsraum. In der Vorbereitungsphase für eine Operation, wenn sich also der Patient zwar schon auf der Lagerfläche, aber noch im Vorbereitungsraum befindet, ist es teilweise erforderlich, daß zur optimalen _ _The special transporter assigned to the operating table system is used to transport the patient from the preparation room to the operating room or from the operating room to an evacuation room. In the preparation phase for an operation, that is, when the patient is already on the storage area, but still in the preparation room, it is sometimes necessary to do the optimal _ _
Lagerung des Patienten oder zur Durchführung vorbereitender medizinischer Maßnahmen die Lagerfläche verstellt werden muß. Zur Ansteuerung der motorisch zu verstellenden Abschnitte oder Segmente der Lagerfläche ist dabei eine von der OP-Tischsäule unabhängige Energieversorgung und Steuerung erforderlich.Storage of the patient or to carry out preparatory medical measures, the storage area must be adjusted. To control the motorized sections or segments of the storage area, an energy supply and control that is independent of the operating table column is required.
Es sind bereits Lösungen bekannt, bei denen sich an der Lagerfläche eine Steckverbindung befindet, an die eine von der OP-Tischsäule unabhängige Steuer- und Betätigungseinrichtung angekoppelt werden kann. Der Nachteil dieser Lösung ist, daß dieses zusätzliche Gerät die Handhabung des Systems behindert. Die erforderlichen Verbindungskabel zwischen der Steuereinheit und der Lagerfläche und gegebenenfalls auch zwischen der Steuereinheit und einem Bediengerät behindern häufig den freien Zugang zum Patienten.Solutions are already known in which there is a plug connection on the bearing surface, to which a control and actuation device that is independent of the operating table column can be coupled. The disadvantage of this solution is that this additional device hinders the handling of the system. The required connecting cables between the control unit and the bearing surface and possibly also between the control unit and an operating device often hinder free access to the patient.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein OP-Tischsystem der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß eine Verstellung von Lagerflächensegmenten auch dann möglich ist, wenn sich die Lagerfläche auf einem Transporter befindet, ohne daß dadurch der Zutritt zu der Lagerfläche behindert wird.The invention has for its object to provide an operating table system of the type mentioned in such a way that an adjustment of the bearing surface segments is also possible when the bearing surface is on a transporter, without thereby preventing access to the bearing surface.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß an der Lagerfläche ein mit der Stellvorrichtung verbundenes lagerflächenseitiges Kontaktmodul und an dem Transporter ein transporterseitiges Kontaktmodul so angeordnet sind, daß sie bei der Übernahme der Lagerfläche durch den Transporter miteinander verbindbar sind, und daß der Transporter eine Aufnahme für eine an das transporterseitige Kontaktmodul anschließbare Steuer- und Betätigungseinheit für die Stellung hat.This object is achieved in that a bearing surface-side contact module connected to the actuating device and a transporter-side contact module are arranged on the bearing surface in such a way that they can be connected to one another when the bearing surface is taken over by the transporter, and in that the transporter accommodates has a control and actuation unit for the position that can be connected to the transporter-side contact module.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung kann die Steuer- und Betätigungseinheit auf dem Transporter unmittelbar angeordnet werden. Der Kontakt zwischen der Steuer- und Betätigungseinheit auf dem Transporter und der Stellvorrichtung an der Lagerfläche wird über die Kontaktmodule an Lagerfläche bzw. Transporter hergestellt, so daß weder die Steuer- und Betätigungseinheit selbst, noch irgendwelche Verbindungskabel den Zutritt zu der Lagerfläche behindern können. Die Steuer- und Betätigungseinheit hat eine Stromversorgung für die einen Elektroantrieb enthaltende Stellvorrichtung, so daß über die Kontaktmodule die Versorgungsenergie und gegebenenfalls auch Steuersignale übertragen werden. Die Steuer- und Betätigungsvorrichtung kann in dem Transporter integriert sein, so daß diese Einheit stets zur Verfügung steht. Wird die Verstellung der Lagerfläche außerhalb des OP-Raumes seltener benötigt, kann die Steuer- und Betätigungsvorrichtung aber auch von dem Transporter abnehmbar sein, so daß man beispielsweise nur eine Einheit für mehrere Transporter hat, die bedarfsweise eingesetzt wird.In the solution according to the invention, the control and actuation unit can be arranged directly on the transporter. The contact between the control and actuation unit on the transporter and the actuating device on the storage area is established via the contact modules on the storage area or transporter, so that neither the control and actuation unit itself nor any connecting cables can hinder access to the storage area. The control and actuation unit has a power supply for the actuating device containing an electric drive, so that the supply energy and possibly also control signals are transmitted via the contact modules. The control and actuation device can be integrated in the transporter, so that this unit is always available. If the adjustment of the storage area outside the operating room is needed less, the control and actuation device can also be removable from the transporter, so that one has, for example, only one unit for several transporters, which is used as required.
Vorzugsweise sind die beiden Kontaktmodule jeweils an lagerflächenseitigen und transporterseitigen mechanischen Koppelelementen angeordnet, die bei der Übernahme der Lagerfläche durch den Transporter miteinander in Eingriff treten, so daß die beiden Kontaktmodule bei der Übernahme der Lagerfläche selbsttätig miteinander in Kontakt treten.The two contact modules are preferably each arranged on mechanical coupling elements on the bearing surface and on the transporter side, which engage with one another when the transporter takes over the bearing surface, so that the two contact modules automatically come into contact with one another when the bearing surface is taken over.
Die Stromversorgung erfolgt vorzugsweise durch Akkumulatoren, wobei auf dem Transporter auch ein Ladegerät zum Aufladen der Akkumulatoren angeordnet sein kann. An geeigneter leicht zugänglicher Stelle, vorzugsweise an einem Griff zum Schieben des Transporters ist ein Bedienfeld angeordnet, über das die Steuerbefehle eingegeben werden können und an dem beispielsweise auch Systeminformationen wie z.B. der Ladezustand der Akkumulatoren angezeigt werden kann.The power supply is preferably provided by accumulators, and a charger for charging the accumulators can also be arranged on the transporter. At a suitable, easily accessible location, preferably on a handle for pushing the transporter, there is a control panel via which the control commands can be entered and on which system information such as e.g. the charge status of the batteries can be displayed.
Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung, welche in Verbindung mit den beigefügten Zeichnungen die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles erläutert. Es zeigen:Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, which in connection with the accompanying drawings explains the invention using an exemplary embodiment.

Figur 1 zeigt in einer schematischen Ansicht einen allgemein mit 10 bezeichneten Transporter und eine Lagerfläche 12. Der Transporter hat ein Fahrgestell 14 und eine auf diesem angeordnete Tragsäule 16 zur Stützung der Lagerfläche 12. Der Kopf der Tragsäule 16 ist mit einer Schubstange 18 verbunden, an deren Handgriff 20 ein Bediengerät 22 angeordnet ist. Am Kopf der Tragsäule 16 erkennt man ferner eine Aufnahmetasche 24 zur Aufnahme eines Führungsstückes 26, das an einem Basissegment 28 der Lagerfläche 12 angeordnet ist. An dem Basissegment 28 ist ferner ein weiteres Lagerflächensegment 30 um eine Achse 32 schwenkbar gelagert. Das Flächensegment 30 kann mit Hilfe eines in der Lagerfläche 12 integrierten, gestrichelt angedeuteten Elektromotors 31 um die Achse 32 verschwenkt werden.FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a transporter, generally designated 10, and a bearing surface 12. The transporter has a chassis 14 and a support column 16 arranged thereon to support the bearing surface 12. The head of the support column 16 is connected to a push rod 18 whose handle 20 is an operating device 22 is arranged. At the head of the support column 16, one can also see a receiving pocket 24 for receiving a guide piece 26, which is arranged on a base segment 28 of the bearing surface 12. A further bearing surface segment 30 is also mounted on the base segment 28 so as to be pivotable about an axis 32. The surface segment 30 can be pivoted about the axis 32 with the aid of an electric motor 31 integrated in the bearing surface 12 and indicated by dashed lines.
Die Figuren 2 bis 5 zeigen die Schnittstelle zwischen der Lagerfläche und dem Transporter 10 im Detail. An der transporterseitigen Tasche 24 ist ein transporterseitiger Kontaktmodul 34 angeordnet. Die transporterseitigen Kontaktelemente 36 dienen der Strom- und der Signalübertragung. Sie sind über Kabel 38 mit einer Stromversorgung 40 einerseits bzw. einer Steuereinheit 42 andererseits verbunden, die in dem Fahrgestell 14 des Transporters 10 angeordnet sind, wie dies Figur 1 zeigt.Figures 2 to 5 show the interface between the storage area and the transporter 10 in detail. A transporter-side contact module 34 is arranged on the transporter-side pocket 24. The transporter-side contact elements 36 are used for current and signal transmission. They are connected via cables 38 to a power supply 40 on the one hand or to a control unit 42 on the other hand, which are arranged in the chassis 14 of the transporter 10, as shown in FIG. 1.
Dem transporterseitigen Kontaktmodul 34 steht das lagerflächenseitige Kontaktmodul 44 gegenüber, das an dem Führungsstück 26 der Lagerfläche 12 befestigt ist. Die Kontaktelemente 46 des lagerflächenseitigen Kontaktmoduls 44 sind mittels Verbindungsleitungen 48 mit den Stellantrieben der Lagerfläche 12 verbunden.The transporter-side contact module 34 is opposed by the contact module 44 on the bearing surface, which is attached to the guide piece 26 of the bearing surface 12. The contact elements 46 of the contact module 44 on the bearing surface are connected to the actuators of the bearing surface 12 by means of connecting lines 48.
Zur Übernahme der Lagerfläche 12 von der nicht dargestellten OP-Tischsäule auf den Transporter 10 wird der Transporter 10 an die OP-Tischsäule in eine Übernahmeposition herangefahren, wobei sich die Lagerfläche in einem angehobenen Zustand befindet. Anschließend wird der Säulenkopf der OP- Tischsäule mit der Lagerfläche 12 abwärts bewegt. Dabei gleitet das Führungsstück 26 soweit in die Aufnahmetasche 24 an der Tragsäule 16 des Transporters 10, bis sich die Lagerfläche 12 mit dem Führungsstück 26 an den Flanken der Tasche 24 abstützt. Der Säulenkopf der OP-Tischsäule bewegt sich ohne die Lagerfläche 12 weiter nach unten, bis der Transporter 10 zusammen mit der Lagerfläche 12 weggefahren werden kann. Zur näheren Erläuterung dieses Vorganges wird auf die oben zitierte Europäische Patentschrift 0 457 246 verwiesen. Kurz bevor das Führungsstück 26 in der Tasche 24 aufsitzt, berühren die transporterseitigen Kontaktelemente 36 die lagerflächenseitigen Kontaktelemente 46, wie dies in den Figuren 4 und 5 dargestellt ist. Nach der erfolgten Kontaktgabe können die motorisch verstellbaren Funktionen in der Lagerfläche 12 betätigt und gesteuert werden.To take over the storage area 12 from the operating table column, not shown, to the transporter 10, the transporter 10 is moved to the operating table column in a take-over position, the storage area being in a raised state. Then the column head of the surgical Table column with the bearing surface 12 moved down. The guide piece 26 slides into the receiving pocket 24 on the support column 16 of the transporter 10 until the bearing surface 12 is supported with the guide piece 26 on the flanks of the pocket 24. The column head of the operating table column moves further downwards without the bearing surface 12 until the transporter 10 can be moved away together with the bearing surface 12. For a more detailed explanation of this process, reference is made to European Patent 0 457 246 cited above. Shortly before the guide piece 26 is seated in the pocket 24, the transporter-side contact elements 36 touch the contact surface 46 on the bearing surface, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. After the contact has been made, the motor-adjustable functions in the bearing surface 12 can be actuated and controlled.
Bei der Übergabe der Lagerfläche 12 vom Transporter 10 auf die OP-Tischsäule laufen die geschilderten Vorgänge in umgekehrter Reihenfolge ab. Figur 6 zeigt eine mögliche Ausführungsform des Bediengerätes 22. Dieses ist mit der Steuerung 42 verbunden. Über Drucktasten 50 im Bedienfeld des Bediengerätes 22 können die Befehle zur Verstellung der Lagerflächensegmente eingegeben werden. Eine Anzeige 52 dient zur Anzeige des Ladezustandes der Akkumulatoren 40.When the storage area 12 is transferred from the transporter 10 to the operating table column, the processes described proceed in the reverse order. FIG. 6 shows a possible embodiment of the operating device 22. This is connected to the controller 42. The commands for adjusting the bearing surface segments can be entered via push buttons 50 in the control panel of the operating device 22. A display 52 is used to indicate the state of charge of the batteries 40.
Die Akkumulatoren 40 und die Steuereinheit 42 können auch zu einem einzigen Gerät vereinigt sein. Ferner kann dieses Gerät auch mit dem Bediengerät 22 verbunden sein, so daß die gesamte Einheit als eigenständiges Gerät von dem Transporter 10 lösbar ist und auf einen anderen Transporter bei Bedarf umgesetzt werden kann. In diesem Fall ist dafür zu sorgen, daß das Gerät in geeigneter Weise mit den Kontaktelementen des transporterseitigen Kontaktmodul 34 elektrisch verbunden werden kann, wozu beispielsweise entsprechende Stecker an der Tragsäule 16 vorgesehen werden können. Die hierzu gegebenenfalls erforderliche Kabelverbindung zwischen der Steuer- und Betätigungseinheit und dem transporterseitigen Kontaktmodul 34 behindert den Zugang zu der Lagerfläche 12 in keiner Weise. The accumulators 40 and the control unit 42 can also be combined into a single device. Furthermore, this device can also be connected to the operating device 22, so that the entire unit can be detached from the transporter 10 as an independent device and can be converted to another transporter if required. In this case, care must be taken to ensure that the device can be electrically connected in a suitable manner to the contact elements of the transporter-side contact module 34, for which purpose corresponding plugs can be provided on the support column 16, for example. The cable connection between the control and actuation unit and the transporter-side contact module 34, which may be necessary for this purpose, in no way hinders access to the bearing surface 12.
