Medical device comprising a socket unit for connecting a plug unit of a device for providing medical fluids
First Claim
1. A medical device, comprising:
- a socket unit for connecting a plug unit of a device for providing medical fluids, wherein the socket unit includes at least one connecting piece for connecting at least one connector of the plug unit; and
a connecting mechanism of the socket unit for establishing a connection between the at least one connecting piece and the at least one connector,wherein the at least one connecting piece is configured to connect to the at least one connector so that a flow connection for feeding fresh fluids or discharging used fluids can be established when connecting the at least one connector to the at least one connecting piece,wherein the connecting mechanism includes;
a drive unit having at least one movable drive body for carrying out at least one of a translational or rotational movement; and
at least one position detection mechanism for detecting at least one of the linear position or the angular position of the at least one movable drive body, wherein the position detection mechanism includes;
at least two magnet elements arranged spaced apart from each other and which generate a magnetic field;
at least one sensor element that detects the magnetic field of the at least two magnet elements; and
an evaluation unit that is configured to determine at least one of the linear position or the angular position of the at least one movable drive body based on the magnetic field generated by the at least two magnet elements and detected by the at least one sensor element,wherein either (i) the at least two magnet elements are arranged on the at least one movable drive body and the at least one sensor element is arranged stationarily, or (ii) the at least two magnet elements are arranged stationarily and the at least one sensor elements is arranged on the at least one movable drive body.

Abstract
A medical device comprising a socket unit for connecting a plug unit and an automated connection of the plug unit to the socket unit via a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism has a drive unit that has at least one movable drive body that carries out a translational and/or rotational movement and a position detection mechanism for detecting the linear position and/or the angular position of the drive body. The position detection mechanism includes at least two magnet elements, and at least one sensor element. The linear position and/or angular position of the drive body is determined with an evaluation unit on the basis of the magnetic field generated by the at least two magnet elements and detected by the at least one sensor element.
