The tray module 130 may be coupled to the column 117. Based on the frame 111, the tray module 130 is located on the opposite side of the caster 115. The tray module 130 may have a plate portion 131 and a slot portion 135. The plate portion 131 may be used to place surgical tools and the like used by the surgical staff. The slot portion 135 may be used to insert and hang a storage bucket.

The storage module 150 is a structure for storing the above-mentioned surgical tools or other instruments. The storage module 150 may have more than one drawer. The storage module 150 may be arranged in a space defined by the tray module 130 and the frame 111, and further defined by them (130 and 111) and the column 117. In the present embodiment, although the storage module 150 is fastened to the bottom of the tray module 130, it is not limited thereto. In an alternative embodiment, the storage module 150 may also be fastened to the column 117 or the frame 111.

The structure of fastening the storage module 150 to the tray module 130 will be described with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view of the cart 100 of Fig. 1 as viewed from the side, and Fig. 3 is a plan view of the fastening module 170 of Fig. 2.

Referring to these drawings, in order to fasten the storage module 150 to the tray module 130, a fastening module 170 is used. The fastening module 170 may be located between the plate portion 131 and the storage module 150.

The fastening module 170 is a structure for detachably fastening the storage module 150 to the tray module 130. The fastening module 170 may include, for example, a rail 171 and a slider 173. The fastening module 170 may further include a locking unit 175 as needed.

In this case, the storage module 150 can be fixed in a set position by a magnetic force acting between the slider 173 and the magnet. Different from the above, when the track 171 is slightly tilted downward, the storage module 150 can be fixed in a set position by gravity when the slider 173 is moved as far as possible into the track 171. In this case, other locking units 175 may not be required.

4, a description will be given of the use of the cart 100 during surgery.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state where the storage cart 100 of FIG. 1 is used during surgery.

4 , the user can pull the storage module 150 away from the column 117 to separate the storage module 150 from the tray module 130 . Specifically, the slider 173 slides along the track 171 while the storage module 150 is separated from the tray module 130 .

When the storage module 150 is separated, the cart 100 is converted into a simple form consisting of the base module 110 and the tray module 130. When the patient lies on the seat S of the comprehensive treatment chair, the simple form of the cart does not cause obstacles to the seat S and the patient being located in the space. In addition, the legs of the operating staff can be placed in the space under the seat S. In addition, since the rail 171 does not protrude beyond the bottom surface, the rail 171 does not interfere with the patient lying on the seat S (refer to FIG. 4).

After the operation is finished, the user can use the fastening module 170 to fasten the storage module 150 to the tray module 130 again (the state of FIG. 1 ). Specifically, the user can move the storage module 150 toward the column 117 while inserting the slider 173 into the guide rail 171 .

When the slider 173 moves as far as possible inside the track 171, the slider 173 can be fixed in place relative to the track 171 by the locking unit 175. Specifically, when the insert 177 elastically pressed toward the slider 173 is inserted into the receiving groove 176, the slider 173 {and the storage module 150} do not easily move in the direction of being separated from the track 171.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a cart 100 ′ according to a modified example of the cart 100 of FIG. 1 .

5 , the cart 100 ′ is substantially the same as the cart 100 according to the previous embodiment, except that it further includes a support unit 119 ′.

The support unit 119' is a structure for supporting the storage module 150 mounted on the tray module 130. One end of the support unit 119' may be coupled to the column 117, and the other end may be coupled to the storage module 150. The support unit 119' may be installed to be coupled to/separated from the column 117. The support unit 119' may be used only when the storage module 150 is mounted on the tray module 130.

The above description describes the case where the support unit 119' is installed on the column 117, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In an alternative embodiment, the support unit 119' can support the storage module 150 when it is installed on the frame 111, specifically the third branch portion 111c. Different from this, the support unit 119' can also support the storage module 150 when it is installed on the tray module 130. In addition, the support unit 119' can be configured not to be separated from the column 117, but to rotate around the column 117 and leave the space.

Next, other types of carts will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8 .

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a medical storage cart 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

6 , the cart 200 is substantially the same as the cart 100 of the previous embodiment, but the structure of the fastening module 270 may be different. In addition, the cart 200 further includes a moving module 290.

The moving module 290 is a structure that allows the storage module 250 to move from a basic position in the space to an avoidance position away from the space. Conversely, the moving module 290 can also be used to move the storage module 250 from the avoidance position to the basic position.

The moving module 290 connects the storage module 250 to the base module 210. The moving module 290 may have, for example, a rotation link 291 that connects the storage module 250 to the column 217.

A hinge unit 293 is formed at one end of the rotating link 291. The hinge unit 293 may be rotatably provided on the column 217 along a rotating direction R centered on the central axis of the column 217. The other end of the rotating link 291 may be coupled to the storage module 250.

The moving module 290 may further include a fixing unit 295. The fixing unit 295 is used to fix the hinge unit 293 to the column 217. The fixing unit 295 may be a pin inserted into a fixing hole (not shown) formed on the hinge unit 293 and the column 217. Thus, the fixing unit 295 may fix the storage module 250 to the basic position or the avoidance position.

According to the configuration, the user can use the storage module 250 in the state where the storage module 250 is located at the basic position, and then move the storage module 250 to the avoidance position when performing surgery. To this end, the user rotates the rotating link 291 in the rotation direction R while pulling the fixing unit 295, and then releases the fixing unit 295 when the storage module 250 is moved to the avoidance position. As a result, the storage module 250 can be fixed to the avoidance position. In order to use the cart 200 in surgery, it is not necessary to separate the storage module 250 from the base module 210.

The rotation of the storage module 250 can be performed in a state where the fastening module 270 allows the storage module 250 to be separated from the tray module 230. To this end, the slider 273 of the fastening module 270 may have a structure different from that of the aforementioned embodiment. Specifically, the slider 273 may be composed of a head 273a and a shaft 273b. The shaft 273b protrudes from the upper surface of the storage module 250 so that the head 273a is separated from the storage module 250. The track (omitted from the figure) of the fastening module 270 may be formed to accommodate the head 273a at the bottom of the plate portion 231. The track may have a curved shape corresponding to the rotation path of the slider 173.

In order to prevent the cart 200 from being tilted when the storage module 250 is located at the avoidance position, the lengths of the first branch portion 211a and the second branch portion 211b may be extended. The first branch portion 211a and the second branch portion 211b may each have a telescopic structure extending in length. Alternatively, since the storage module 250 is small and light, the moment generated by the storage module 250 and the tray module 230 remains balanced, so that the cart 200 does not tilt.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a cart 200 ′ according to a modified example of the cart 200 of FIG. 6 .

7 , the cart 200 ′ is generally substantially the same as the aforementioned cart 200 , but differs in the storage module 250 ′.

Specifically, the storage module 250' may have a receiving body 251' and legs 255'. The receiving body 251' is a structure for receiving articles. The receiving body 251' may have more than one drawer or receiving space. The legs 255' may be installed at the bottom of the receiving body 251'. The legs 255' support the receiving body 251' on the ground, and when the receiving body 251' is located at the avoidance position, the cart 200' may be prevented from tilting.

In order to support the legs 255' relative to the ground, the length of the legs 255' can be changed. For example, the legs 255' have a telescopic structure, so that the length along the height direction H can be adjusted.

In order to adjust the length of the leg 255', an actuator and a battery (not shown) may be built in the leg 255' and the housing body 251'. The actuator receives power from the battery to linearly extend and may be arranged along the height direction H. In order to input commands related to the operation of the actuator, the housing body 251' may be provided with an operation button 257'.

This embodiment may not use the fastening module 270 (see FIG. 6 ) in the previous embodiment. This is because when the legs 255 ′ support the receiving body 251 ′, the fastening module 270 is necessary. In the basic position, the legs 255 ′ may be supported on the third branch portion 211 c.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a cart 200 ″ according to another modified example of the cart 200 of FIG. 6 .

8 , a cart 200 ″ is substantially the same as the aforementioned cart 200 , except that a hinge unit 293 ″ of a rotating link 291 ″ may rise or fall in a height direction H along a column 217 ″. Specifically, the hinge unit 293 ″ may rise or fall between a first height H1 and a second height H2. The second height H2 may be lower than the first height H1. A fixing hole 217 a corresponding to each height H1, H2 may be formed in the column 217 ″. A fixing unit 295 ″ installed in the hinge unit 293 ″ may be inserted into the fixing hole 217 a to fix the hinge unit 293 ″ at each height H1, H2.

The storage module 250" may further include casters 255" in addition to the storage body 251". When the storage body 251" is located at the avoidance position, the casters 255" may be supported on the ground.

According to the structure, when the storage module 250" is located in the basic position, the hinge unit 293" can be fixed to the first height H1. When the cart 200" needs to be used during surgery, the user can pull the fixing unit 295" and rotate the rotating link 291" along the rotation direction R. When the storage module 250" is out of the basic position, the user can lower the storage module 250" along the height direction H to the second height H2 and support it on the ground. When the user releases the fixing unit 295", the hinge unit 293" can be fixed in this state.
