Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a medical liquid crystal monitor device installed in, for example, an operating room or an ICU.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent operating rooms, there is a monitor device for centralized display of the surgical site and data such as electrocardiogram and blood pressure indicating the operating patient's status so that doctors and nurses can understand the data. It has been placed.
[0003]
Conventionally, a television (CRT) monitor using a cathode ray tube has been used for such a monitor device. However, since this television monitor is deep and heavy, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, it is arranged in a horizontal row or two rows on the monitor base 1.
[0004]
However, in the case where the television monitor is arranged on the monitor table 1 as described above, the monitor table 1 can be arranged only in one direction toward the operation table 2, so that, for example, as shown in FIG. When the operation personnel 3 overlap, the monitor screen 4 cannot be seen.
[0005]
Therefore, for example, even in cardiac catheter surgery that requires a large number of surgical personnel 3, the number of people approaching the operating table 2 is limited.
[0006]
In order to solve this problem, it has been considered to prepare a plurality of monitor bases 1 and to move the monitor bases 1 according to the arrangement of surgical personnel 3.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in this method of moving the monitor base, it takes time to move the heavy monitor base for each operation according to the arrangement of the surgical personnel. When the personnel move during the operation, the monitor base is adjusted accordingly. There was a problem that had to be moved.
[0008]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to enable personnel involved in the operation during the operation to view the monitor screen easily and without any trouble.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention employs a configuration in which a plurality of liquid crystal monitors are connected in a horizontal row so as to be freely opened and closed.
[0010]
By adopting such a configuration, the LCD monitor is a flat plate, so if you change the opening and closing angles of multiple LCD monitors that are connected in a row, the display screen orientation of each LCD monitor can be set to the position of the surgical staff. Can be changed accordingly. Therefore, those who are involved in the operation can view the display screen without any trouble.
[0011]
Further, it is also possible to employ a configuration in which a suspension member is provided on one of the plurality of liquid crystal monitors so that the suspension can be suspended from a ceiling or a moving trolley moving on the ceiling.
[0012]
By adopting such a configuration, the liquid crystal monitor is lightweight and can be easily suspended from the ceiling. Moreover, by suspending from the ceiling, it can be freely placed in the operating room regardless of the equipment placed on the floor. Therefore, for example, if a liquid crystal monitor is placed on the operating table, the opened and closed liquid crystal monitor is opened and closed, and the orientation is changed according to the placement and movement of the surgical personnel, the opened and closed liquid crystal monitor can be operated with, for example, a surgical patient in between. Because it is possible to see each operation personnel such as doctors and nurses who perform the operation, it is not necessary to limit the number of people who can approach the operating table.
[0013]
At this time, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the plurality of liquid crystal monitors are composed of three liquid crystal monitors.
[0014]
By adopting such a configuration, if three LCD monitors are opened and closed and bent into a triangle, one LCD monitor can cover 120 ° and can be opened and closed from any position around the LCD monitor. You can see any of the monitors that you did. At that time, the display of each liquid crystal monitor may be the same monitor screen, or a display required by a surgical person who views the screen.
[0015]
At this time, since the liquid crystal monitor is provided with a handle, the liquid crystal monitor can be opened / closed and moved by holding the handle. For example, the liquid crystal monitor can be moved in accordance with the movement of surgical personnel during the operation. Easy to open and close and move.
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 1, the medical liquid crystal monitor device of this embodiment has a configuration in which a plurality (three) of liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c are connected in a row so as to be opened and closed. Further, a column 12 is provided as a suspension member on one of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c, that is, the upper surface of the central liquid crystal monitor 11b, and the column 12 is fixed to the moving trolley 18 provided on the ceiling. It is configured to be attached with the flange 14.
[0018]
In this embodiment, the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c are composed of two 21 inch ones 11a and b and one 13 inch one 11c. For example, the 21 inch ones 11a and 11b are monitor screens at a surgical site. In addition, brain waves, electrocardiograms, etc. are displayed alone or divided into screens. Further, numerical data such as a pulse is displayed on the 13-inch 11c.
[0019]
Moreover, each monitor 11a-c is connected so that opening and closing is possible by hinges 15a and 15b, as shown in FIG.
[0020]
At that time, the 21-inch ones 11a and 11b are slightly heavier than the 13-inch ones 11c. Therefore, two hinges 15a are provided to connect the 21-inch ones 11a and 11b. For the 13-inch 11c, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (c), a hinge 15b is attached via an L-shaped adapter 16 so that the rotating shaft of the hinge 15b is lifted. As shown in FIG. 6, when the 13-inch 11c is rotated by 180 °, it can be folded and stored so that it floats by the thickness of the 21-inch liquid crystal monitor 11a.
[0021]
Further, an inverted T-shaped handle 17 is provided below each of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c, and the handle 17 is held to open and close the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c and to move the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c as described later. Is easy to do.
[0022]
In this embodiment, the hinges 15a and 15b are used for the connection. However, for example, a joint may be used for the connection.
[0023]
Further, as described above, the column 12 for suspension is provided on the central liquid crystal monitor 11b. The column 12 and the liquid crystal monitor 11b are rotatable in the horizontal direction (arrow direction in FIG. 1). If attached, the orientation of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c can be adjusted more optimally according to the arrangement and movement of the surgical personnel.
[0024]
As shown in FIG. 4, the moving trolley 18 is provided with a guide trolley 20 and a traveling wheel 21 in a box-shaped trolley main body 19, and the guide wheel 20 and the traveling wheel 21 are provided in parallel on the ceiling. It is configured to be engaged with a guide rail 22 made of a shaped channel material, and can move along the engaged rail 22.

This embodiment is configured as described above, and the medical liquid crystal monitor device 10 of the present invention can be easily moved in the operating room by arranging the guide rail 22 of the moving trolley 18 on the ceiling. . For example, it can also be moved on the operating table 2. Therefore, when operating personnel are arranged on both sides of the operating table 2, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), if the liquid crystal monitors 11a and 11b are opened and closed and bent, the display screens 24 of the liquid crystal monitors 11a and 11b are displayed. However, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the operation personnel 3 arranged on both sides of the operating table 2 see the display screens 24 of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c, respectively, as shown in FIG. 5 (a). Surgery can be performed.
[0027]
As a result, all the operation personnel 3 can perform an operation while grasping the patient's condition, and the doctor of the operation personnel 3 can give an accurate instruction by looking at the display screen 24 of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c. .
[0028]
Further, for example, even when the surgical staff 3 moves as shown by the broken line in FIG. 5A, the liquid crystal monitor 11c may be opened and closed in that direction with the handle.
[0029]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c have the display screen 24 of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c in one direction even when the surgical staff 3 is arranged only on one side of the operating table 2. It can be dealt with by opening and closing to For this reason, the person at the edge can easily view the display screen 24. At this time, for example, if different displays are performed on the display screens 24 of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c, more information can be displayed. A lot of information can be shared.
[0030]
Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the three liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c are opened and closed and bent into a triangle, the display screen 24 of each of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c covers 120 ° from any position around it. However, one of the opened and closed liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c can be seen. At this time, the display on each of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c may have the same display content, or may be a display required by the surgical staff 3 who views each of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c.
[0031]
As described above, the medical liquid crystal monitor device 10 can be changed in direction by opening and closing the liquid crystal monitors 11 a to 11 c connected to the surgical staff 3. Therefore, for example, even if the surgical staff 3 moves during the operation, the orientation of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c can be changed accordingly, so that a person who is involved in the operation can view the monitor screen without any trouble.
[0032]
In this embodiment, one of the liquid crystal monitors 11a to 11c is small.
[0034]
