Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for manual, contactless actuation of an electrical device, which should not be touched to actuate it, in particular for reasons of sterility or cleanliness.
- DE 19623 104 A1 describes a sanitary fitting designed as a single-lever mixer and the integration of a proximity sensor for contactless actuation of the fitting.
- an electrically controllable valve is provided, by means of which a signal generated by the proximity sensor actuates an electromagnetic closing mechanism.
- the proximity sensor can only generate a one-time signal, namely when, for example, a hand is in close proximity to the sensor. As a result, only an opening signal is generated, possibly a closing signal for the water tap.
- DE 41 26 168 A1 describes a protection against accidental contact for medical diagnostic or therapeutic devices.
- a spatially positionable device part is equipped with a non-contact sensor, so that movement of the device part towards an object is prevented as soon as a certain minimum distance between the object and the device part is undershot.
- the sensor device described in this document which contains two sensors which respond to electromagnetic fields, is intended, for example, to prevent collisions from occurring when an X-ray image intensifier is spatially positioned in the direction of a recording object, in particular a patient.
- the highest sterility requirements are known to exist in operating rooms. This means in particular that the personnel directly involved in the operation must not come into contact with non-sterile objects before and during the operation.
- the surgeon uses technical aids, in particular electronic devices, that are not themselves autoclavable, that is to say completely sterilizable, complicated remote control mechanisms have hitherto been required to ensure the sterility requirements described above, that is, the surgeon's absolute freedom from contact with non-sterile objects .
- the surgical field is recorded with the aid of suitable surgical video camera systems and displayed to the surgeon on a screen for better optical resolution and perception.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for manual contactless actuation of an electrical device in such a way that almost all functions of the electrical device can be activated manually without contact.
- care should be taken to ensure that any malfunctions caused by possible external disturbances are avoided and that the respective function on the electrical device is reliably activated by preferably manually approaching the electrical device to be controlled.
- the device according to the invention it should in particular be possible to operate electrical devices safely even under clean room or sterility conditions. The technical as well as the cost to be undertaken for this should be as low as possible.
- the device according to the invention for manual, contactless actuation of an electrical device has at least one transmitter unit and one receiver unit, which are arranged next to one another in such a way that from the Transmitting pulses emerging from the transmitting unit can be reflected on an object spaced from the transmitting and receiving unit and that these transmitted pulses reflected on the object can be at least partially detected by the receiving unit.
- the receiving unit is connected to an electrical circuit which can be activated by detection of the reflected transmission pulses and which is used to achieve a specific actuation target on the device or relating to the device.
- these actuation targets relating to the electrical device include all control processes which the respective electrical device provides for its functioning.
- the control processes relate to all those device functions that an operator actively operates in handling the device in order to operate it. Due to the contactless activation of certain device functions by the operator, it is possible, for example, for a doctor working under sterile conditions to act actively with a non-sterile device without becoming unsterile himself.
- the transmission unit sends out individually modulated transmission pulses at a predeterminable solid angle that defines the transmission range.
- the receiving unit which is attached to the device next to the transmitting unit, has a spatially limited receiving area predetermined by its receiving aperture, which overlaps or overlaps the transmitting area from a certain minimum distance from the transmitting and receiving unit. If an object, preferably the hand or a finger of an operator, now enters this overlapping area, the modulated transmission pulses emitted by the transmission unit are at least partially reflected on the object and arrive at the reception unit for detection.
- the receiving unit itself preferably has a verification unit by means of which the modulation of the reflected transmission pulses is checked and recognized accordingly. After successful detection of the reflected transmission pulses in the receiving unit, the latter activates one with it Connected electrical circuit through which a desired technical and device-specific function is started or triggered.
- the modulation of the transmission pulses and the corresponding checking of the modulated, reflected transmission pulses received, received in the receiving unit serve to protect against interference from external interference.
- pairs consisting of transmitter and receiver units on a common device surface, which are arranged sufficiently far apart from one another, so that it is ensured that their respective overlapping areas do not overlap spatially.
- the respective transmission units can emit transmission pulses that are modulated in the same way.
- the pairs, each consisting of a transmitting and receiving unit are arranged relatively close to one another on a device surface for reasons of a compact design, then their respective overlap areas overlap. In such a case, care must be taken to ensure that the individual transmission units emit transmission pulses with different modulations.
- a further measure to avoid such undesired triggering of functions relates to the possibility of providing a reception characteristic that is as sluggish as possible within the receiving unit, which ensures that brief object movements within the reception area do not trigger any function activations. It is only through a targeted approach of an object, e.g. a hand or a finger, in the direction of the sending and receiving unit - a process that is associated with a certain minimum dwell time within the receiving area - that the corresponding desired technical function on the electrical device can be triggered.
- the transmitter and receiver unit is preferably based on infrared technology, but it is entirely possible to design transmitter and receiver units as ultrasound, radio and / or radar sensor systems.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation for the contactless pivoting of a flat screen
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of three arranged side by side
- FIG. 1 shows a flat screen 1, which is connected to a fixed counter bearing 3 via a lever arm system 2.
- the lever arm system 2 which will not be discussed further below, serves to position the flat screen 1 as freely as possible relative to the fixed counter bearing 3.
- the lever arm system 2 has at least one motor-driven joint unit 4, which is able to pivot the flat screen 1 about an axis A, preferably about the horizontal axis.
- the flat screen 1 On the front of the screen, the flat screen 1 has two transmitting and receiving units (S1, E1 or S2, E2), which are connected to an electrical circuit (not shown) for the targeted control of a servomotor within the joint unit 4.
- the transmitting and receiving unit S1, E1 must be approached with a finger, whereby the electrical circuit is activated and the servomotor of the articulated unit 4 is controlled accordingly.
- the pivoting process takes place as long as the finger is within the reception range of the transmission and reception unit S1, E1. If a desired inclination of the flat screen monitor 1 has been reached, the pivoting process is interrupted by removing the finger from the reception area. In the same way, the pivoting process can be carried out in the opposite direction, for example by moving the finger into the receiving area of the transmitting and receiving unit S2, E2.
- the swivel device for a flat-screen monitor shown in FIG. 1 is particularly suitable for use in a sterile operating room, so that the surgeon himself, who is performing the surgical intervention, can adjust the inclination of the screen without touching it, depending on his current position relative to the flat screen , Since electrical devices such as the flat screen described above are not autoclavable, such non-sterile devices cannot be touched directly by sterile people.
- the device according to the invention serves to enable such devices to be operated directly despite the sterility requirement.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of the reception areas of each immediately adjacent pair consisting of transmission and reception units (S; E).
- Each individual sending and receiving unit has a sending (SB) and a receiving area (EB).
- the transmission and reception areas SB, EB overlap in the overlap area U, within which the transmission pulses reflected on an object can be detected by the respective reception unit.
- the transmission pulses of the respective transmission units are emitted in a modulated manner in order to avoid corresponding external interference influences and mutual interference. If adjacent transmit and receive units are arranged very close to one another due to their compact design, then it is necessary that at least adjacent transmit and receive units are operated with different modulations. In this way, it can be ruled out that the scattering effects between two adjacent transmitting and receiving units, which impair functionality, can be avoided.
- the overlap area U is spaced from the respective transmitting and receiving unit. This distance d should preferably not be less than about 1 cm.
- FIG. 1 A basic circuit for operating a transmitting and receiving unit is shown in FIG.
- an integrated circuit IC1 which provides an oscillator which generates a modulated frequency which is fed to the transmitter unit S1, which is designed as an infrared LED, via an IR LED driver (pin 4).
- the transmitter unit S1 which is designed as an infrared LED
- IR LED driver pin 4
- the operating voltage ÜB see pin 1
- the series resistor R2 Setting the transmission power of the transmitter unit S1 designed as an IR LED and thus the range of the circuit.
- the transmission pulses emitted modulated by the transmission unit S1 are reflected by an object and reach the reception unit E1 designed as an infrared receiver.
- the modulated transmission pulses reflected by the receiving unit E1 and reflected on the object are fed to an evaluation circuit integrated within the IC1, which is also fed the modulated frequency of the oscillator.
- the modulated signal coming directly from the oscillator is compared with the modulated received signal and evaluated accordingly. If both signals match, a corresponding output switching stage OUT is activated, which is connected to a corresponding device-specific function, such as, for example, the adjustment of a stepper motor.
