Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a patient support, in particular for an operating table, according to the preamble of claim 1 (cf. EP 2 702 974 A2 ).
  • Modular patient supports especially for operating tables or examination tables, have the advantage that their lying or storage area can be variably composed of support parts depending on the situation and according to medical requirements and can be adjusted in complexity, position and configuration by pivoting the support parts relative to one another.
  • a transfer of data and / or electrical energy enables a clear and reliable identification of a support part, indirectly or directly connected to an operating table, with regard to configuration and / or function.
  • the identification and control of the support parts as a whole can also take place based on the identification. Since identification data of a support part can be transferred to a control, the control can automatically recognize which support part it is or which support parts the operating table is composed of after receiving the identification data and corresponding configuration data can be generated, for example, to display a suitable operating menu and / or to control an adjustment mechanism for the individual support parts.
  • the transmission device comprises a first component and a second component which communicate wirelessly with one another, the components also pivoting relative to one another when the one supporting part is pivoted relative to the other Swivel axis are moved.
  • wireless communication between the two support parts is thus provided, which is also ensured if the two support parts are pivoted relative to one another.
  • mechanical contacts of any kind can be dispensed with, which are not only susceptible to maintenance and malfunction, but which are also associated with increased mechanical and structural complexity even when a connection is ensured during a pivoting movement.
  • the first component is a curved antenna.
  • a curved antenna can be attached, for example, to a stationary support part in such a way that the second component, which is attached to a pivotable support part, remains in the region of the curved antenna even during pivoting. Reliable communication or transmission of data and / or electrical energy can thus take place over the entire swivel range or in each swivel position.
  • the antenna extends along a circle segment concentric to the pivot axis, since in this case the antenna and the second component are always at the same distance relative to one another and with respect to the pivot axis.
  • a component can be swept by the other component when the support parts are pivoted relative to one another.
  • a wireless sliding contact is formed, so to speak, but it enables contact-free communication or a contact-free transmission of electrical energy.
  • the antenna is planar and has at least two windings lying one above the other. Because of its compact design, such a planar antenna can be easily integrated into coupling elements between support parts of an operating table, reliable transmission by means of the antenna being ensured by the provision of the windings lying one above the other.
  • the RFID chip can be mounted on a removable support part.
  • Such an RFID chip does not require its own energy supply or can be supplied with energy wirelessly via an antenna, so that data can be exchanged.
  • the two components have essentially the same width in the radial direction relative to the pivot axis. In this case, it is guaranteed that energy and data are transmitted with the least possible losses.
  • the invention relates to an antenna for use in a patient support of the type described above, the antenna is planar and curved and in particular has at least two windings lying one above the other.
  • Fig. 1 shows a patient support for an operating table, treatment table or the like, with two support parts 10 and 12 which can be coupled to one another, the actual support surface of the support part 12 not being shown, but in Fig. 1 only one of two coupling hooks 14 can be seen.
  • the support part 10 which in the illustrated embodiment is held stationary, that is to say cannot be pivoted, has a drive motor 16 which pivots a coupling disk 18 about a pivot axis S. Since the support part 12 is hooked onto the coupling disc 18 with the coupling hook 14, the support part 12 pivots relative to the support part 10 by rotating the coupling disc 18 by means of the motor 16 Fig.
  • a transmission device which comprises a first coupling component and a second component which communicate wirelessly with one another, the components being pivoted relative to the support part when the support part 12 is pivoted 10 can also be moved relative to one another about the pivot axis S.
  • one component is an antenna and one component is an RFID chip 20.
  • the RFID chip 20 is integrated in the coupling hook 14 and therefore in FIG Fig. 1 only shown in dashed lines. In the representation of the Fig. 2 however, the RFID chip 20 is in its position from Fig. 1 shown, but the support part 12 or the swivel hook 14 is omitted in the illustration.
  • a curved antenna 22 is provided as a component of the transmission device, which extends along a circular ring segment concentric to the pivot axis S over an angular range of approximately 75 °.
  • the RFID chip 20 and the antenna 22, seen in the radial direction, have essentially the same width relative to the pivot axis and the antenna 22 is formed concentrically to the pivot axis S, the RFID chip 20 remains even when the support part 12 is pivoted relative to the Support part 10 always in the same radial position relative to antenna 22.
  • the antenna 22 comprises a plastic housing, which is fastened to the support part 10 with two screws, an antenna wire 24 being cast in the plastic housing in a configuration as shown in FIG Fig. 3 is shown. How Fig. 3 shows, the antenna wire 24 is formed into a first winding, which extends from the feed to the end of the antenna in a curved shape and back again. A second winding is formed in that the antenna wire is again guided in the direction of the first winding before being fed in and is then guided in the same way above or below the first winding in the direction of the feeding.
  • the antenna 22 or the antenna wire 24 can then be connected to a controller, with the aid of which the data contained in the RFID chip, such as identification data, serial numbers, type designations, dimensions or the like, can be read out, so that the controller information receives what support part 14 it is. It is also conceivable to integrate a rotary encoder into the antenna 22, so that it can simultaneously be read out in which pivot position the support part 14 is actually located.
