Description
Hydraulic column clamping The present invention relates to an operating table which comprises a table column with a column foot and with a column head and also a bed connectable or connected to the column head.
In many operating tables of this kind, the bed is rotatable about the vertical longitudinal axis of the table column, in order to bring the bed into a suitable position, depending on the space requirement or on the type of surgical intervention to be carried out. The bed then has to be detained in this suitable position in terms of rotation about the vertical table-column axis.
A rotatability of the bed about the vertical table-column axis can be achieved, for example, in that a column-side portion of the column foot is mounted rotatably on a floor-side portion of the column foot, and the two portions of the column foot can then be clamped by means of a mechanical clamping mechanism in order to detain the position of the bed.
In mechanical clamping mechanisms, however, there is the problem that it is difficult to dimension the clamping force accurately. In mechanical clamping devices in which the clamping force is directly related to the mechanical adjustment of a clamping element, these clamping elements should be installed with only a very low installation tolerance, because a deviation of the installation position has a direct effect on the clamping force. Since both too low and too high a clamping force are to be avoided without fail, mechanical clamping devices must be produced with high precision and at an associated high outlay.
In many operating tables of this kind, the bed is rotatable about the vertical longitudinal axis of the table column, in order to bring the bed into a suitable position, depending on the space requirement or on the type of surgical intervention to be carried out. The bed then has to be detained in this suitable position in terms of rotation about the vertical table-column axis.
A rotatability of the bed about the vertical table-column axis can be achieved, for example, in that a column-side portion of the column foot is mounted rotatably on a floor-side portion of the column foot, and the two portions of the column foot can then be clamped by means of a mechanical clamping mechanism in order to detain the position of the bed.

In mechanical clamping devices in which the clamping force is directly related to the mechanical adjustment of a clamping element, these clamping elements should be installed with only a very low installation tolerance, because a deviation of the installation position has a direct effect on the clamping force. Since both too low and too high a clamping force are to be avoided without fail, mechanical clamping devices must be produced with high precision and at an associated high outlay.
The object on which the invention is based is to specify an operating table of the type mentioned in the introduction, which makes it possible by simple means to detain the bed in terms of rotation about the longitudinal axis of the table column.
This object is achieved in that the column foot has a floor-side baseplate and a column-side footplate, in that the footplate is mounted rotatably on the baseplate and is secured, with a vertical play, by means of an abutment against being lifted off from the baseplate, and in that at least one pressure-actuated clamping cylinder is provided in order to clamp the footplate against the abutment.
In the operating table according to the invention, the clamping force is applied by means of a pressure-actuated clamping cylinder. This clamping force is therefore set via the pressure of the pressure fluid of the clamping cylinder, not via the dimensioning of a mechanical stroke travel or the like, so that the clamping force can be set simply and nevertheless accurately, without the installation tolerance having to meet particularly stringent requirements. Furthermore, there is increased freedom in constructing the column foot, because the pressure fluid can be conducted along any desired paths via suitable lines, so that contrary to a mechanical shaft, for example, lines of this type do not obstruct other components of the column foot.
Preferably, the clamping cylinder is arranged on the footplate and, when acted upon by the pressure medium, is supported on the baseplate.
In an advantageous embodiment, the abutment is formed by a circular ring which is connected to the baseplate and which surrounds the footplate and at least partially engages over the latter at its outer edge.

Preferably, the at least one clamping cylinder can be acted upon by pressure fluid via a foot-actuated pump.
By means of a foot-actuated pump of this type, a sufficiently high clamping force can be produced with little effort.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the line between the pump and the clamping cylinder is connected to a tank for the pressure fluid via a pressure-limiting valve. This ensures that, irrespective of how vigorously the pump is actuated, the pressure of the pressure fluid which is introduced into the clamping cylinder does not overshoot a maximum pressure which is defined by the pressure-limiting valve. As a result, the clamping mechanism cannot be overloaded, and it is simple to set the clamping force according to the maximum pressure of the pressure-limiting valve.
For a clearer understanding of the present invention, reference is made below to the preferred exemplary embodiment which is illustrated in the drawings and which is described by means of specific terminology. It may be pointed out, however, that the scope of protection of the invention is not to be restricted thereby, since such variations and further modifications to the device shown and such further applications of the invention as are indicated in it are considered to be the conventional current and future specialized knowledge of a competent person skilled in the art. An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the figures in which, to be precise, Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a column foot, Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the column foot along the line A-A of Figure 1, Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a foot-actuated pump which is connected to two clamping cylinders, and Figure 4 shows a diagrammatic illustration of a hydraulic circuit.
Fig. 1 shows a column foot 10 for a table column of an operating table in a perspective view, and Fig. 2 shows the column foot 10 in a section along the line A-A of Fig. 1.
The column foot 10 comprises a floor-side baseplate 12 (see Fig. 2) and a column-side footplate 14. The footplate 14 is continued vertically upwards by a table-column portion 16. Further components of the table column, a column head of the table column and a bed connectable or connected to the column head are not illustrated in the figures.
The footplate 14 is mounted on the floor-side baseplate 12 rotatably about a vertical axis 18. The bearing is in this case formed by a ball raceway 20 which can be seen in the cross-sectional view of Fig. 2.
A circular ring 22 is fastened by means of bolts 23 to the floor-side baseplate 12. The circular ring 22 has an inwardly directed protuberance 24 which engages over the footplate 14 at its outer edge portion 26. The protuberance 24 of the circular ring 22 forms an abutment for the outer edge portion 26 of the baseplate 12, the said abutment preventing the footplate 14 from lifting off from the baseplate 12. Between the protuberance 24 of the circular ring 22 and the outer edge portion 26 of the baseplate 12, there is a vertical play, so that the footplate 14 can normally, that is to say when it is not clamped in the way described in more detail below, be rotated about the vertical axis 18, without being appreciably braked due to frictional contact with the protuberance 24.
Furthermore, a foot-actuated pump 28, which is illustrated separately in a perspective view in Fig. 3, is arranged on the footplate 14. As can be seen in Fig.
1 and Fig. 3, the pump 28 has a foot lever 30, on the end of which a foot pedal 32 is arranged. By the foot pedal 32 being depressed, a pump shaft 34 is rotated via the foot lever 30. As can be seen in Figures 1 to 3, a longer working cam 36 and a shorter release cam 38, the function of which is described below, are arranged at one end of the pump shaft 34.
The pump 28 is connected via hydraulic lines 40 to two hydraulic clamping cylinders 42 which are arranged on the footplate 14 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
The pump 28 and the hydraulic clamping cylinders 42 are connected via a hydraulic circuit which is illustrated diagrammatically in Fig. 4 and is described below together with the clamping function of the column foot 10.
In the non-clamped state, the footplate 14 can be rotated about the vertical axis 18 in relation to the baseplate 12, as mentioned above. A bed (not shown), which is fastened to a column head of the table column (not shown), can thereby be rotated into a suitable position. When the bed has been rotated into a suitable position, the footplate 14 is clamped to the baseplate 12, as follows, in order to detain the bed in terms of rotation about the vertical axis 18.
To clamp or lock the footplate 14, the foot pedal 32 of the foot lever 30 is depressed. As a result, the pump 28 is actuated via the working cam 36, and hydraulic oil is sucked in from a hydraulic-oil tank 44 (see Fig. 4) via a suction-intake valve 46. The hydraulic oil sucked in in this way is pumped via a non-return valve 48 and the hydraulic line 40 into the hydraulic clamping cylinders 42, of which the pistons 43 (see Fig. 2) are thereby extended and are supported on the baseplate 12. With increasing pressure in the hydraulic line 40, the footplate 14 is raised, with the result that it is tensioned with its outer edge portions 26 against the protuberance 24 of the circular ring 22. In this state, the footplate 14 is clamped to the circular ring 22 and can no longer be rotated about the vertical axis 18.
The non-return valve 48 ensures that the pressure in the line 40 is maintained, even after pumping has ended, and the footplate 14 thus remains clamped to the baseplate 12 via the circular ring 22.
As can be seen in Fig. 4, a relief valve or pressure-limiting valve 50 is arranged between the pump 28 and the non-return valve 48. This relief valve 50 is such that it opens to the hydraulic-oil tank 44 when the pressure between the pump 28 and the non-return valve 48 overshoots a predetermined maximum pressure.
This ensures that the pressure in the line 40, which is supplied to the clamping cylinders 42, never overshoots this predetermined maximum pressure.
As a result of the above-described set-up with the relief valve 50, the footplate 14 is always clamped to the baseplate 12, independently of installation tolerances of the clamping cylinders 42, with a predetermined maximum clamping force which corresponds to the maximum pressure of the relief valve 50. What is ensured, in particular, is that the clamping mechanism is not overloaded by too high a clamping pressure.
To release the clamping connection between the baseplate 12 and the footplate 14, the foot pedal 32 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 3) is lifted with the foot. The release cam 38 is thereby moved clockwise in the illustration of Fig. 2, until it butts against an actuating portion 52 (see Fig. 2) of a release valve 54 which connects the hydraulic line 40 to the hydraulic-oil tank 44 (see Fig. 4) . When the release cam 38 butts against the actuating portion 52 of the release valve 54, the latter is opened, with the result that hydraulic oil escapes from the hydraulic line 40 into the hydraulic-oil tank 44 and the pressure acting upon the clamping cylinders 42 decreases. The pistons 43 of the clamping cylinders 42 are thereby retracted, the footplate 14 is lowered and the clamping action between the footplate 14 and baseplate 12 is cancelled.
In the embodiment of the column foot 10 which is shown, a high clamping action can be generated by means of low operating forces. The clamping mechanism is insensitive towards manufacturing and installation tolerances, since the system is not aimed at achieving a predetermined stroke travel of the pistons 43 of the clamping cylinders 42, but at achieving a maximum clamping pressure which can easily be produced with the aid of the relief valve 50. Finally, the hydraulic clamping system described here is distinguished by a small construction space, as compared with purely mechanical solutions conventional hitherto. The hydraulic oil can be conducted along any desired paths by means of the line 40, so that, contrary to a conventionally used mechanical shaft, for example, the lines 40 do not obstruct further components. In particular, the construction space between the two clamping cylinders 42 remains free.
Although a preferred exemplary embodiment has been shown and described in detail in the drawings and in the above description, this is to be considered as purely illustrative and not restrictive of the invention. It is pointed out that only the preferred exemplary embodiment is illustrated and described, and all variations and modifications which come at the present time and in future within the scope of protection of the invention are to be protected.
By means of a foot-actuated pump of this type, a sufficiently high clamping force can be produced with little effort.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the line between the pump and the clamping cylinder is connected to a tank for the pressure fluid via a pressure-limiting valve. This ensures that, irrespective of how vigorously the pump is actuated, the pressure of the pressure fluid which is introduced into the clamping cylinder does not overshoot a maximum pressure which is defined by the pressure-limiting valve.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the figures in which, to be precise, Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a column foot, Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the column foot along the line A-A of Figure 1, Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a foot-actuated pump which is connected to two clamping cylinders, and Figure 4 shows a diagrammatic illustration of a hydraulic circuit.
Fig. 1 shows a column foot 10 for a table column of an operating table in a perspective view, and Fig. 2 shows the column foot 10 in a section along the line A-A of Fig. 1.
The column foot 10 comprises a floor-side baseplate 12 (see Fig. 2) and a column-side footplate 14. The footplate 14 is continued vertically upwards by a table-column portion 16. Further components of the table column, a column head of the table column and a bed connectable or connected to the column head are not illustrated in the figures.
The footplate 14 is mounted on the floor-side baseplate 12 rotatably about a vertical axis 18. The bearing is in this case formed by a ball raceway 20 which can be seen in the cross-sectional view of Fig. 2.
A circular ring 22 is fastened by means of bolts 23 to the floor-side baseplate 12. The circular ring 22 has an inwardly directed protuberance 24 which engages over the footplate 14 at its outer edge portion 26. The protuberance 24 of the circular ring 22 forms an abutment for the outer edge portion 26 of the baseplate 12, the said abutment preventing the footplate 14 from lifting off from the baseplate 12. Between the protuberance 24 of the circular ring 22 and the outer edge portion 26 of the baseplate 12, there is a vertical play, so that the footplate 14 can normally, that is to say when it is not clamped in the way described in more detail below, be rotated about the vertical axis 18, without being appreciably braked due to frictional contact with the protuberance 24.
Furthermore, a foot-actuated pump 28, which is illustrated separately in a perspective view in Fig. 3, is arranged on the footplate 14. As can be seen in Fig.
1 and Fig. 3, the pump 28 has a foot lever 30, on the end of which a foot pedal 32 is arranged. By the foot pedal 32 being depressed, a pump shaft 34 is rotated via the foot lever 30. As can be seen in Figures 1 to 3, a longer working cam 36 and a shorter release cam 38, the function of which is described below, are arranged at one end of the pump shaft 34.
The pump 28 is connected via hydraulic lines 40 to two hydraulic clamping cylinders 42 which are arranged on the footplate 14 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
The pump 28 and the hydraulic clamping cylinders 42 are connected via a hydraulic circuit which is illustrated diagrammatically in Fig. 4 and is described below together with the clamping function of the column foot 10.
In the non-clamped state, the footplate 14 can be rotated about the vertical axis 18 in relation to the baseplate 12, as mentioned above. A bed (not shown), which is fastened to a column head of the table column (not shown), can thereby be rotated into a suitable position. When the bed has been rotated into a suitable position, the footplate 14 is clamped to the baseplate 12, as follows, in order to detain the bed in terms of rotation about the vertical axis 18.
To clamp or lock the footplate 14, the foot pedal 32 of the foot lever 30 is depressed. As a result, the pump 28 is actuated via the working cam 36, and hydraulic oil is sucked in from a hydraulic-oil tank 44 (see Fig. 4) via a suction-intake valve 46. The hydraulic oil sucked in in this way is pumped via a non-return valve 48 and the hydraulic line 40 into the hydraulic clamping cylinders 42, of which the pistons 43 (see Fig. 2) are thereby extended and are supported on the baseplate 12. With increasing pressure in the hydraulic line 40, the footplate 14 is raised, with the result that it is tensioned with its outer edge portions 26 against the protuberance 24 of the circular ring 22. In this state, the footplate 14 is clamped to the circular ring 22 and can no longer be rotated about the vertical axis 18.
The non-return valve 48 ensures that the pressure in the line 40 is maintained, even after pumping has ended, and the footplate 14 thus remains clamped to the baseplate 12 via the circular ring 22.
As can be seen in Fig. 4, a relief valve or pressure-limiting valve 50 is arranged between the pump 28 and the non-return valve 48. This relief valve 50 is such that it opens to the hydraulic-oil tank 44 when the pressure between the pump 28 and the non-return valve 48 overshoots a predetermined maximum pressure.
This ensures that the pressure in the line 40, which is supplied to the clamping cylinders 42, never overshoots this predetermined maximum pressure.
As a result of the above-described set-up with the relief valve 50, the footplate 14 is always clamped to the baseplate 12, independently of installation tolerances of the clamping cylinders 42, with a predetermined maximum clamping force which corresponds to the maximum pressure of the relief valve 50. What is ensured, in particular, is that the clamping mechanism is not overloaded by too high a clamping pressure.
To release the clamping connection between the baseplate 12 and the footplate 14, the foot pedal 32 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 3) is lifted with the foot. The release cam 38 is thereby moved clockwise in the illustration of Fig. 2, until it butts against an actuating portion 52 (see Fig. 2) of a release valve 54 which connects the hydraulic line 40 to the hydraulic-oil tank 44 (see Fig. 4) . When the release cam 38 butts against the actuating portion 52 of the release valve 54, the latter is opened, with the result that hydraulic oil escapes from the hydraulic line 40 into the hydraulic-oil tank 44 and the pressure acting upon the clamping cylinders 42 decreases. The pistons 43 of the clamping cylinders 42 are thereby retracted, the footplate 14 is lowered and the clamping action between the footplate 14 and baseplate 12 is cancelled.
In the embodiment of the column foot 10 which is shown, a high clamping action can be generated by means of low operating forces. The clamping mechanism is insensitive towards manufacturing and installation tolerances, since the system is not aimed at achieving a predetermined stroke travel of the pistons 43 of the clamping cylinders 42, but at achieving a maximum clamping pressure which can easily be produced with the aid of the relief valve 50. Finally, the hydraulic clamping system described here is distinguished by a small construction space, as compared with purely mechanical solutions conventional hitherto. The hydraulic oil can be conducted along any desired paths by means of the line 40, so that, contrary to a conventionally used mechanical shaft, for example, the lines 40 do not obstruct further components. In particular, the construction space between the two clamping cylinders 42 remains free.
Although a preferred exemplary embodiment has been shown and described in detail in the drawings and in the above description, this is to be considered as purely illustrative and not restrictive of the invention. It is pointed out that only the preferred exemplary embodiment is illustrated and described, and all variations and modifications which come at the present time and in future within the scope of protection of the invention are to be protected.
