Console and foot-operated control unit for a medical treatment system and medical treatment system therefor

A console for a medical treatment system or an ophthalmosurgical system for the treatment of an eye, the console comprising:

• a console housing;
• and
• a control unit configured to control a medical treatment instrument,
• wherein a foot-operated control unit can be wirelessly coupled to the control unit, and the console housing has at least one side wall,
• wherein the side wall has a bearing surface for arranging the foot-operated control unit on the bearing surface in a not-in-use position,
• wherein the bearing surface is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, at least in the region where the foot-operated control unit is to be arranged, in order to effect abutting of the foot-operated control unit against the bearing surface by a weight of the foot-operated control unit when the foot-operated control unit is arranged at the bearing surface,
• wherein the bearing surface has an inclination with respect to a vertical plane in the range between 3° and 15°,
• wherein the side wall has a console-side connecting unit for releasably connecting the foot-operated control unit to the console in the region of the bearing surface,
• wherein the console has a charging unit for charging an electrical energy store of the foot-operated control unit,
• wherein the bearing surface has a charging connection with at least two electrical contacts for contacting corresponding mating contacts of the foot-operated control unit,
• wherein the bearing surface has a circumferential collar, which projects from the bearing surface and entirely surrounds the electrical contacts,
• wherein the electrical contacts are formed as resilient electrical pin contacts which are connected to the charging unit via electrical lines, and
• wherein the console-side connecting unit has at least two retaining pins for arranging in corresponding receiving openings of the foot-operated control unit, which are arranged at least horizontally spaced-apart from one another on the bearing surface such that when the foot-operated control unit is releasably arranged on the bearing surface, the at least two retaining pins predefine a position of the foot-operated control unit in which the resilient electrical pin contacts are held in contact with electrical mating contacts of the foot-operated control unit due to a weight of the foot-operated control unit acting on the at least two retaining pins, and such that the foot-operated control unit is protected from twisting caused by external forces.
