A hydraulic cylinder 103 is attached to an intermediate portion of the column 101 so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis, and a distal end of a rod 103 is attached to a vicinity of a base end of the elevating arm 102 so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis. I have. A hanger 104 is attached to the tip of the lifting arm 102. In order to put the cared person 105 into the bathtub 106, the hammock sheet 107 on which the cared person 105 is placed is hung on the hanger 104, and the tip of the lifting arm 102 is raised by the hydraulic cylinder 103. Then, the tip of the lifting arm 102 is lowered. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In the movement system, three or more support rods 201 supporting at least the legs, waist, and head are attached to the main body 202 in parallel. The main body 202 is mounted on a cart via a height adjusting mechanism 203. The height adjustment mechanism 203 is composed of a handle 204 which is turned by a caregiver and a female threaded elevating body which rises or descends while rotating around a male threaded post by a worm gear connected to the handle shaft. The elevating body is joined to the main body. The main body moves up and down together with the elevating body. The cart may be on the floor as shown in FIG. 2 or may be along a rail provided on the ceiling. FIG. 3 shows the care receiver 304 on the bed mat.
Shows the figure sleeping. The support rod 201 of the movement system is stored in the mat 301. In the case of a soft mat, the support rod 201 may be pressed from above to be sunk in and stored, or the mat itself may be provided with a slit 302 to facilitate storage. A gap 303 may be provided at the lower end of the slit 302 so that the support rod 201 can be pushed in from the side of the bed. FIG. 4 shows the case where the caregiver turns the handle to increase the height of the main body using the height adjustment mechanism. The support bar 201 can be lifted up from the mat 301 to lift the sleeping care receiver 304. In this state, when the moving system is pulled out, the carriage 401
The wheels 402 move the moving system away from the bed and allow the caregiver to push and move it. Needless to say, the moving device may be fixed to the floor and moved to a nearby bathtub or toilet only by rotation. FIG. 5 shows another embodiment in which the height can be further finely adjusted. FIG. 6 shows a mechanism for adjusting the height of each support rod 201 in the embodiment of FIG. The support bar 201 is stored in the mat 301. Support rod 2
Numeral 01 has a shape protruding upward from the mat 301. With this shape, the care receiver can be put in the bathtub. The other end of the support rod 201 is integrated with and connected to the main body 202 having the female screw 601 cut. A male screw 603 is fitted into the female screw 601 of the main body. A bevel gear 604 is attached to the lower end of the male screw 603,
It forms a pair with a bevel gear 606 attached to the shaft of the motor 605. Therefore, the rotation of the motor 605 causes the rotation reduced by the bevel gears 606 and 604 to be applied to the male screw 603. Motor 605 and male screw 603
Is fixed, the main body 202 has a male screw 603.
It goes up and down by the rotation of. FIG. 7 shows the relationship between the main body and the height adjusting mechanism. Since the main body 202 is engaged with the support rod sliding groove 701 of the height adjusting mechanism, the main body 202 cannot be rotated, so that the male screw 603 moves up and down. I do. Also,
The displacement sensor 702 forms a pair with the reflector mounted on the main body, and is mounted near the support rod sliding groove 701 of the height adjusting mechanism, so that it can detect that the height has reached a predetermined height. . FIG. 8 adjusts the height of each support bar 201 after horizontally raising the care receiver 304 from the bed,
This shows a state in which the cared person is held by the upper body raised. In this state, the caregiver operates the moving system to carry the care receiver to the bathtub, and when the caregiver comes over the bathtub, each support rod 20 is moved.
1 can be lowered at the same time, and the body can be sunk in the bathtub while maintaining the caretaker's posture. FIG. 9 shows a state where the body is submerged in the bathtub 901. As shown in FIG.
001 and a roller 1002 that is free to rotate around an axis and a soft material cover 10 provided at a portion in contact with the care receiver.
03, it does not damage the body of the cared person. In addition, by increasing the number of the support rods, the body pressure at the portion where the support rods come into contact can be reduced. Therefore, it is desirable to have a large number of support rods. In addition, when the cared person is sleeping on the bed, the diaper is lifted by raising the cared person's waist by raising only the supporting rods located near the thighs among the supporting rods stored in the mat. Replacement and use of a simple toilet in a bed can also be facilitated. That is, it is possible to save labor for all operations of lifting the body of the care receiver. FIG. 11 shows a block diagram of a drive control circuit for a particular motor that drives one of the support rods.
When a manual lifting switch 1101 provided for each support bar is pressed, a current flows to the motor 1104 provided for each support bar, and the motor 1104 rotates. This raises the body. When the manual stop switch 1102 is pressed, the current to the motor 1104 is cut off, and the motor 1104 stops. This stops the main body. When the manual down switch 1103 is pressed, a current flows through the motor 1104 in a direction opposite to that when the up switch 1101 is pressed, so that the motor 1104 rotates in the reverse direction. This lowers the main body. While FIG. 11 adjusts the height while pressing each switch attached to each support rod, the motor control circuit shown in FIG. 12 uses a predetermined switch height pattern for each support rod to press one switch. It is realized by. FIG.
In the embodiment, the pattern is divided into a bathing pattern, a sitting pattern, and a sleeping pattern. The bathing pattern is a pattern in which the upper body is raised as shown in FIG. 8, and the sitting pattern is a state in which the upper body is raised and the lower limbs are lowered, as when sitting on a chair. In this pattern, the user can sit on the toilet or take a shower while sitting on the toilet. In addition, a diaper replacement pattern, which is a support bar near the position of the thigh, may be provided with a pattern that is higher than the height of the support bar at other positions. In the sleeping pattern, as shown in FIG. 3, the heights of all the support bars are almost the same. FIG. 12 will be described. FIG. 12 shows a block diagram of a control circuit of the motor. The manual switch includes a power switch 1201 for switching power ON / OFF and a pattern switch 1202 for selecting a pattern. As the sensor 1203, a displacement sensor paired with a plurality of reflectors attached to each support rod is attached near each support rod sliding groove of the main body. Judgment circuit 1
204 determines which pattern the pattern switch has selected, determines the height setting value of each support bar, and compares it with the height signal from the displacement sensor to determine whether the height has reached the set value. . That is, when the height of the support bar is insufficient with respect to the height setting value, a current is sent to the motor 1205 to further raise the support bar. If the height of the support bar is too high relative to the set height, a reverse current is sent to the motor to lower the support bar. When the height setting value matches the height of the support rod, the current to the motor is cut off. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the control logic of the embodiment of FIG. 130
Reference numeral 1 denotes a determination logic for determining which pattern switch has been pressed. For example, when a bathing pattern is selected, the height set value of each support bar in the previously stored bathing pattern is set at 1302. Next, assuming that the support rod at the head position is 1 and the motors of the support rods are sequentially numbered on the foot side, the support rod height yn and the height set value y0n start from the first support rod in 1303. Is calculated, and 1304 is calculated.
Then, it is determined whether or not dn is between the small values + d1 and = d1, that is, whether or not it is close to the set value. If it is determined that the value is close to the set value, the motor is stopped at 1305. Therefore, the support rod also stops. Here, in step 1306, the flag Sn is set to 0, which is used to determine whether or not the operation is stopped. Next, S which adds Sn of each support bar is calculated in 1307. Since Sn is all set to 1 immediately after pattern setting, it becomes 0 when all the support rods stop, and does not become S = 0 when any one of them does not stop. In 1308, S =
It is determined whether it is 0 or not. If S = 0, that is, if all are stopped, the process returns to 1303 again and this cycle is repeated.
If it is determined at 1304 that the height has not yet approached the height setting value, then at 1309, if the support bar height yn is lower than the height setting value y0n, that is, if dn> 0, the motor is rotated forward at 1310 to support the support bar height yn. To rise. Conversely, dn <0
In the case of (13), the motor is reversed in step 1311 to lower the support rod. Further, at 1312, the difference d in height from the adjacent support rod is d.
In step 1313, it is determined whether or not the difference df is greater than a predetermined value df0. If the difference df is larger, the process proceeds to driving of the next support rod. In step 1314, n = n + 1. 1315 whether or not you have already controlled
If the control is performed up to n = 7, n = n at 1316
The previous cycle is repeated by setting n = 1 again as −7. However, the height of the support rod at the head position is compared with the height of the support rod at 1317, and when the height becomes higher than the predetermined value a from the support rod at the head position, the movement of the motor is stopped at 1318.
Now, after taking a bath and returning to the bed, the caregiver presses the sleeping pattern switch. Thereby, the height setting value is set to the height when the support bar is stored in the mat. Therefore, similarly to the previous movement, the difference between the current position of each support bar and the height setting value is calculated, and the motor is driven. This allows the patient to return to bed.
