Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to an operating table, the operating table comprising a table top, a table top support and a column with a column head, wherein the sealing device is bellows assembled below the column head, or an adhesive in a hole and/or window on the holder of the cable, or a sealing gasket between the receiver and the column head, or a shield sealingly attached to the column head below the gear. The present disclosure further relates to control equipment, a lifting device, an intelligent charger, a column guide system for an operating table, as well as an operating table including the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A column guide system for supporting a table top of an operating table, the column guide system comprising a bottom column and a top column, the bottom column having at least two guide rails that are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, the top column being guided in the vertical direction by the guide rails, wherein the guide rails are arranged to make the plane formed by the guide rail parallel to the longitudinal axis of the operating table top, and wherein the top column in its lower region has at least two guide sliders and a spacing adjustment compensation device, the guide sliders can be fitted onto the guide rails in a positive-locking manner, and the spacing adjustment compensation device is used to adjust a spacing between the guide sliders so as to enable the guide sliders to move over the entire height of the guide rails. 2. A column guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the spacing adjustment compensation device at least includes a first slot and a second slot and spacing adjustment compensation elements, the guide sliders are respectively secured within the corresponding slots, and the spacing adjustment compensation elements are configured to adjust the spacing between the side of the guide sliders and the sidewall of the slots. 3. A column guide system according to claim 2 , wherein one side of the guide slider within the first slot abuts against one sidewall of the first slot, and the spacing between the other side thereof and the other sidewall of the first slot is regulated by the spacing adjustment compensation elements. 4. A column guide system according to claim 3 , wherein the spacing adjustment compensation element is a fastening screw or wedge block. 5. A column guide system according to claim 2 , wherein in terms of the two sides of the guide slider in the second slot, the spacing between the said sides and the corresponding sidewalls of the second slot is regulated by the spacing adjustment compensation element. 6. A column guide system according to claim 5 , wherein the spacing adjustment compensation element is a wedge block. 7. An operating table, comprising a column guide system for supporting a table top of the operating table, the column guide system comprising a bottom column and a top column, the bottom column having at least two guide rails that are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, the top column being guided in the vertical direction by the guide rails, wherein the guide rails are arranged to make the plane formed by the guide rail parallel to the longitudinal axis (A) of the operating table top, and wherein the top column in its lower region has at least two guide sliders and a spacing adjustment compensation device, the guide sliders can be fitted onto the guide rails in a positive-locking manner, and the spacing adjustment compensation device is used to adjust a spacing between the guide sliders so as to enable the guide sliders to move over the entire height of the guide rails. 8. An operating table according to claim 7 , wherein the spacing adjustment compensation device at least includes a first slot and a second slot and spacing adjustment compensation elements, the guide sliders are respectively secured within the corresponding slots, and the spacing adjustment compensation elements are configured to adjust the spacing between the side of the guide sliders and the sidewall of the slots. 9. An operating table according to claim 8 , wherein one side of the guide slider within the first slot abuts against one sidewall of the first slot, and the spacing between the other side thereof and the other sidewall of the first slot is regulated by the spacing adjustment compensation elements. 10. An operating table according to claim 9 , wherein the spacing adjustment compensation element is a fastening screw or wedge block. 11. An operating table according to claim 8 , wherein in terms of the two sides of the guide slider in the second slot, the spacing between the said sides and the corresponding sidewalls of the second slot is regulated by the spacing adjustment compensation element. 12. An operating table according to claim 11 , wherein the spacing adjustment compensation element is a wedge block.
