Abstract

A medical supply unit is disclosed. The medical supply unit has a mobile housing, a manual control mechanism for controlling location-movement or location-locking of the mobile housing, and a horizontal arm. The medical supply unit also has a vertical arm, an elbow joint part that connects the horizontal arm and the vertical arm, and a rotary shaft for movable connection of the vertical arm, in which the rotary shaft movably connects to one end of the elbow joint part via the vertical arm, wherein another end of the elbow joint part connects to the mobile housing via the horizontal arm, and a first end of the mobile housing is attached to the manual control mechanism. The mobile housing can provide electrical and gas supply connections for convenient use during medical procedures.

Claims (38)

1. A medical supply unit, comprising:

a mobile housing;

a displacement component including a handle, a brake cable bar, and a brake cable for controlling location-movement and location-locking of the mobile housing;

a horizontal arm;

a vertical arm;

an elbow joint part that connects the horizontal arm and the vertical arm; and

a rotary shaft configured for movable connection of the vertical arm to a surface above the medical supply unit, in which the rotary shaft connects to one end of the elbow joint part via the vertical arm, another end of the elbow joint part connects to the mobile housing via the horizontal arm, and the mobile housing is attached to the displacement component; and

the handle including an engagement block that upon actuation of the handle propels rotation of a handle rotary shaft;

wherein the handle rotary shaft includes an engagement groove that accommodates the engagement block, with one end of the brake cable bar being connected to the handle rotary shaft to rotate therewith, and another end of the brake cable bar movably connected to the brake cable.

2. The medical supply unit of claim 1 , further including a reset component for controlling the reset of the handle and the location-locking of the mobile housing; the reset component comprises reset tension springs, the reset tension springs being positioned to bias the displacement component towards a locked configuration.

3. The medical supply unit of claim 1 , wherein:

the mobile housing comprises at least one of a gas panel configured for providing gas, and a power panel configured for providing electrical power.

4. The medical supply unit of claim 1 , wherein the elbow joint part comprises an elbow housing, a retractable element, side connecting boards, and a lower connecting board;

wherein the retractable element, the side connecting boards and the lower connecting board are all arranged in the elbow housing, and two sides of the lower connecting board respectively connect to the side connecting boards,

wherein a top end of the retractable element connects to the lower connecting board, a bottom end of the retractable element connects to the horizontal arm via a force-arm regulating component, and the retractable element connects to the brake cable.

5. The medical supply unit of claim 1 :

wherein the elbow joint part comprises a retractable element; and

the retractable element is operatively linked to the handle via the brake cable so that movement of the handle can unlock the retractable element.

6. The medical supply unit of claim 1 , wherein the elbow joint part comprises side connecting boards, and an adapting flange attached to the side connecting boards.

7. The medical supply unit of claim 1 , wherein the elbow joint part is attached to a lower connecting board, the vertical arm is attached to an upper connecting board, and the upper connecting board and the lower connecting board are rotatably connected.

8. The medical supply unit of claim 1 :

wherein the elbow joint part comprises a gas spring;

the gas spring is operatively linked to the handle via the brake cable so that movement of the handle can unlock the gas spring; and

location-movement of the mobile housing by an operator in enabled when the gas spring is unlocked.

9. A medical supply unit, comprising:

a mobile housing;

a displacement component including a handle, a brake cable bar, and a brake cable for controlling location-movement and location-locking of the mobile housing;

a horizontal arm;

a vertical arm;

an elbow joint part that connects the horizontal arm and the vertical arm; and

a rotary shaft for movable connection of the vertical arm to a surface above the medical supply unit, in which the rotary shaft connects to one end of the elbow joint part via the vertical arm, another end of the elbow joint part connects to the mobile housing via the horizontal arm, and a first end of the mobile housing is attached to the displacement component;

a reset component for controlling the reset of the handle and the location-locking of the mobile housing;

the handle includes an engagement block for propelling rotation of a handle rotary shaft upon actuation of the handle; and

wherein the handle rotary shaft comprises an engagement groove for accommodating the engagement block, one end of the brake cable bar being connected to the handle rotary shaft for rotation therewith, and another end of the brake cable bar movably connecting to the brake cable.

10. The medical supply unit of claim 9 , wherein a first end of the elbow joint part is attached to a lower connecting board, a first end of the vertical arm is attached to an upper connecting board, and the upper connecting board and the lower connecting board are rotatably connected.

11. The medical supply unit of claim 9 , wherein:

the reset component comprises reset tension springs, levers, and a first fixing board; and

the levers connect to the first fixing board via the reset tension springs, the first fixing board is arranged with a round hole through which the brake cable passes, the first fixing board is vertically fixed on a second fixing board, and the second fixing board is arranged so that the brake cable bar passes through the second fixing board.
