Abstract

The framework (1) of the bath lift consists of a mounting frame (5), for example for wall mounting, and, connected to this in an articulated manner, a pivoting frame (6). The transport device (2), for example a vertically guided slide (15) with, attached to it, a device (23) for supporting a person, and the drive machine (21) used for raising and lowering it are arranged on the pivoting frame (6). For load compensation, a pneumatic spring arrangement (22) is provided, which supports the slide (15) on the pivoting frame (6). In this way, only a fraction of the otherwise necessary drive force and a correspondingly smaller drive machine are needed. For the swivel movement, articulations (12) suffice which can be arranged at a vertical spacing independent of the slide height, and exceeding the latter, as a result of which bearing and frictional forces are reduced. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Badelift für Körperbehinderte, mit einem Transportgerät, das an einem Gestell lotrecht verschiebbar und seitlich schwenkbar angeordnet und durch eine Antriebsmaschine heb- und senkbar ist.The invention relates to a bath lift for the physically handicapped, with a transport device which is arranged vertically displaceably on a frame and can be pivoted sideways and can be raised and lowered by a drive machine.

Badelifte dieser Art sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt (z.B. US-PS 3.914.808, DE-OS 2.714.358, CH-PS 570 937). Das Gestell solcher Badelift besteht aus einer teleskopartig ausfahrbaren Säule, in welcher die Antriebsmaschine in Form eines hydraulisch betriebenen Arbeitszylinders eingeschlossen ist. Allen derartigen Ausführungen ist der Nachteil gemeinsam, dass die Antriebsvorrichtung die ganze Belastung durch das beladene Transportgerät zu tragen hat oder in Verbindung mit einer Kraftübersetzung einen übermässig langen Arbeitshub haben muss. In beiden Fällen führt dies zu verhältnismässig massiven, schweren und entsprechend teuren Hebevorrichtungen mit zum Teil grosser Bauhöhe.Bath lifts of this type are known in different versions (e.g. US-PS 3,914,808, DE-OS 2,714,358, CH-PS 570 937). The frame of such a bath lift consists of a telescopically extendable column in which the drive machine is enclosed in the form of a hydraulically operated working cylinder. All such designs have the disadvantage in common that the drive device must bear the entire load from the loaded transport device or, in conjunction with a power transmission, must have an excessively long working stroke. In both cases, this leads to relatively massive, heavy and correspondingly expensive lifting devices, some of which are very high.

Die Schwenklagerung des Transportgerätes bietet bei solchen Konstruktionen zudem besondere Schwierigkeiten. Um eine leichtgängige Schwenklagerung zu erreichen, ist auf möglichst geringe Lagerkräfte zu achten. Dieses Problem ist bei den bekannten Hebevorrichtungen ebenfalls nicht befriedigend gelöst. Die Ausführung nach der US-PS 3.914.808 ermöglicht das Schwenken des Transportgerätes durch drehbare Lagerung der Säule an deren Basis, was bedeutet, dass das ganze Gewicht des belasteten Badelifts und das Kippmoment von dieser Säulenlagerung aufgenommen werden muss. Demgegenüber ist bei der Ausführung nach der DE-OS 2.714.358 das Transportgerät mit einer Hülse am Umfang des vertikal beweglichen Teils der Säule schwenkbar gelagert, wobei die achsiale Länge der Hülse nur einen Bruchteil der Länge dieses Säulenteils beträgt. Aehnliche Verhältnisse liegen vor im Falle der Ausführung nach der CH-PS 570 937, bei der das Transportgerät mit dem oberen Ende einer drehbaren Kolbenstange der Antriebsmaschine verbunden ist, wobei die Kolbenstange im ausgefahrenen Zustand nur auf einem Bruchteil ihrer Länge geführt ist. In jedem dieser Fälle ist also mit verhältnismässig hohen Lagerkräften und dementsprechend hohen Reibungskräften zu rechnen. Derartige Schwenklager stellen hohe Anforderungen hinsichtlich Präzision, sind gross und schwer und dementsprechend aufwenig in der Herstellung.The pivot bearing of the transport device also presents particular difficulties in such constructions. In order to achieve a smooth-running swivel bearing, the bearing forces must be as low as possible. This problem is also not solved satisfactorily in the known lifting devices. The design according to US Pat. No. 3,914,808 enables the transport device to be pivoted by rotatably mounting the column at its base, which means that the entire weight of the loaded bath lift and the tilting moment must be absorbed by this column bearing. In contrast, in the embodiment according to DE-OS 2,714,358, the transport device with a sleeve is pivotally mounted on the circumference of the vertically movable part of the column, the axial length of the sleeve being only a fraction of the length of this column part. Similar conditions exist in In the case of the design according to CH-PS 570 937, in which the transport device is connected to the upper end of a rotatable piston rod of the drive machine, the piston rod being guided only over a fraction of its length in the extended state. In each of these cases, relatively high bearing forces and correspondingly high frictional forces can be expected. Such swivel bearings place high demands on precision, are large and heavy and, accordingly, are expensive to manufacture.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung eines Badelifts, der unter Vermeidung der vorerwähnten Nachteile nur einen Bruchteil der bisher erforderlichen Antriebskraft benötigt und dadurch eine kompaktere und weniger aufwendige Bauart ermöglicht. Weiter ist mit der Erfindung eine Herabsetzung der Lagerkräfte in der Schwenklagerung des Transportgerätes beabsichtigt, um einfachere und weniger aufwendige Schwenklager anwenden zu können.The object of the invention is to provide a bath lift which, while avoiding the aforementioned disadvantages, requires only a fraction of the drive force previously required and thereby enables a more compact and less complex design. Furthermore, the invention intends to reduce the bearing forces in the pivot bearing of the transport device in order to be able to use simpler and less complex pivot bearings.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, dass das Transportgerät und die Antriebsmaschine an einem schwenkbaren Gestellteil angeordnet sind und dass das Transportgerät durch eine dem Lastausgleich dienende Gasfederanordnung am schwenkbaren Gestellteil abgestützt ist.The invention solves this problem in that the transport device and the drive machine are arranged on a pivotable frame part and in that the transport device is supported on the pivotable frame part by a gas spring arrangement serving for load balancing.

Die Gasfederanordnung nimmt in jeder Höhenlage des Transportgerätes den grössten Teil der Last auf, so dass die Antriebsmaschine nur für die geringe Restkraft zum Anheben des Transportgerätes dimensioniert zu werden braucht. Das geringe Mass der benötigten Stellkraft rührt vor allem daher, dass sich die von einer Gasfeder ausgeübte Gegenkraft über den ganzen Federweg nur wenig ändert.The gas spring arrangement absorbs most of the load at any height of the transport device, so that the drive machine only has to be dimensioned for the low residual force for lifting the transport device. The low level of actuating force required is primarily due to the fact that the counterforce exerted by a gas spring changes only slightly over the entire spring travel.

Die verringerte Baugrösse der Antriebsmaschine ermöglicht es, insbesondere bei Verwendung hydraulisch oder pneumatisch betriebener Arbeitszylinder, für diese wie auch für die Gasfedern handelsübliche Bauformen einzusetzen. Eine solche Lösung benötigt daher im Gegensatz zu den bekannten Ausführungen keine besondere Konstruktion der Antriebsmittel.The reduced size of the drive machine enables it, especially when using hydraulically or pneumatically operated working cylinders, to use commercially available designs for these as well as for the gas springs. In contrast to the known designs, such a solution therefore does not require any special construction of the drive means.

Es ist zwar aus der DE-AS 2.730.305 bekannt, bei einem Badelift durch Federn einen Lastausgleich zu erzielen. Dabei handelt es sich jedoch um mechanische Federn an einem von Hand anzuhebenden Transportgerät. Gegen Ende des Hubes ist die Federkraft nurmehr gering, so dass in diesem Bereich fast die volle Kraft zum Anheben der Last vom Benützer aufgebracht werden muss.It is known from DE-AS 2.730.305 to achieve a load balance by springs in a bath lift. However, these are mechanical springs on a transport device that can be lifted by hand. Towards the end of the stroke, the spring force is only low, so that almost the full force for lifting the load must be applied by the user in this area.

Gasfedern für den Lastausgleich sind bereits in zahlreichen Anwendungsformen bekannt. Sie haben in vielen Fällen zu grundlegend neuen Konstruktionen von Bewegungsapparaten geführt. Im Falle ihres Einsatzes beim erfindungsgemässen Badelift bieten sie unter anderem die Möglichkeit zu einer Vereinfachung der Schwenklagerung des Transportgerätes. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht nämlich darin, dass das Gestell aus einem feststehenden Montagerahmen und einem mit diesem gelenkig verbundenen Schwenkrahmen besteht und dass das Transportgerät einen an zwei am Schwenkrahmen vorgesehenen lotrechten Führungsstangen gelagerten Schlitten aufweist, an dem eine Personentragvorrichtung befestigt ist. Dabei ist der Montagerahmen vorzugsweise mindestens so hoch wie der Schwenkrahmen, so dass am unteren und oberen Ende des Schwenkrahmens Gelenkverbindungen vorgesehen werden können. Dadurch lässt sich die ganze durch den erforderlichen Schlittenhub bedingte Gestellhöhe für die Plazierung der Schwenklager ausnutzen, so dass die Lagerkräfte auf ein Minimum reduziert werden und trotz des zusätzlichen Gewichts der am Schwenkrahmen befindlichen Antriebsmittel geringer ausfallen als bei herkömmlichen Lösungen, da das Gewicht der Antriebsmittel nur einen Bruchteil des Gesamtgewichts des belasteten Transportgerätes ausmacht. Befänden sich die Antriebsmittel und der Schlitten am Montagerahmen und die Schwenklager für das Transportgerät am Schlitten, so würde bei gleicher Gestellhöhe nur die geringere Schlittenhöhe für die Schwenklagerung verfügbar sein, was höhere Lagerkräfte zur Folge hätte.Gas springs for load balancing are already known in numerous application forms. In many cases, they have led to fundamentally new designs of musculoskeletal systems. If they are used in the bath lift according to the invention, they offer, among other things, the possibility of simplifying the swivel mounting of the transport device. A preferred embodiment of the invention is namely that the frame consists of a fixed mounting frame and a pivot frame pivotally connected to it and that the transport device has a carriage mounted on two vertical guide rods provided on the pivot frame, to which a person carrying device is attached. The mounting frame is preferably at least as high as the swivel frame, so that articulated connections can be provided at the lower and upper ends of the swivel frame. As a result, the entire frame height due to the required slide stroke can be used for the placement of the swivel bearings, so that the bearing forces are reduced to a minimum and, despite the additional weight of the drive means located on the swivel frame, are lower than in conventional solutions, since this The weight of the drive means only makes up a fraction of the total weight of the loaded transport device. If the drive means and the slide were on the mounting frame and the swivel bearings for the transport device were on the slide, then with the same frame height only the lower slide height would be available for the swivel bearing, which would result in higher bearing forces.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung schematisch dargestellt, und zwar zeigen die Fig. 1, 2 und 3 Auf-, Seiten- und Grundriss des Badelifts.In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown schematically, that is, FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show elevation, side and floor plan of the bath lift.

Der gezeigte Badelift umfasst ein Gestell 1, an dem ein Transportgerät 2 lotrecht verschiebbar und seitlich schwenkbar angeordnet und durch eine Antriebsmaschine 3 heb- und senkbar ist.The bath lift shown comprises a frame 1, on which a transport device 2 is vertically displaceable and laterally pivotable and can be raised and lowered by a drive machine 3.

Das Gestell besteht aus einem an einer Wand 4 befestigbaren Montagerahmen 5 und einem mit diesem gelenkig verbundenen Schwenkrahmen 6. Die beiden Rahmen 5, 6 sind im Aufriss gleich gross und beispielsweise aus Seitenteilen 7 bzw. 8 und Stirnplatten 9 bzw. 10 zusammengesetzt, z.B. durch Schweissen. Als Seitenteile 7, 8 werden vorzugsweise U-förmige Abkantprofilstücke verwendet. Zur Verstärkung und Wandbefestigung des Montagerahmens 5 sind dessen Seitenteile 7 ausserdem durch Traversen 11 miteinander verbunden. Je ein Scharnier 12 am oberen und unteren Ende des Gestells bilden die Gelenkverbindung zwischen Schwenkrahmen 6 und Montagerahmen 5, wobei der Schwenkrahmen je einen Schwenkarm 13 aufweist, der an einem auf der betreffenden oberen bzw. unteren Stirnplatte 9 sitzenden Schwenkbolzen 14 gelagert ist. Vorzugsweise sind solche Schwenkarme 13 und Lagerbohrungen für die Aufnahme der Schwenkbolzen 14 auf beiden Gestellseiten vorgesehen, so dass bei der Montage des Badelifts die Schwenklagerung wahlweise auf der linken oder rechten Gestellseite eingerichtet und somit das Transportgerät den baulichen Verhältnissen entsprechend nach links oder rechts ausgeschwenkt werden kann.The frame consists of a mounting frame 5 which can be fastened to a wall 4 and a swivel frame 6 which is connected to the latter in an articulated manner Welding. U-shaped folding profile pieces are preferably used as side parts 7, 8. For reinforcement and wall mounting of the mounting frame 5, the side parts 7 are also connected to one another by cross members 11. One hinge 12 each at the upper and lower ends of the frame form the articulated connection between swivel frame 6 and mounting frame 5, the swivel frame each having a swivel arm 13 which is mounted on a swivel pin 14 seated on the relevant upper and lower end plate 9. Such swivel arms 13 and bearing bores are preferably provided for receiving the swivel bolts 14 on both sides of the frame, so that when the bath lift is installed, the swivel mounting can be on the left or set up on the right side of the frame so that the transport device can be swung out to the left or right depending on the structural conditions

Das Transportgerät 2 weist einen Schlitten 15 auf, der an zwei lotrechten, in den Stirnplatten 10 des Schwenkrahmens 6 verankerten Führungsstangen 16 gelagert ist. Der Schlitten 15 besitzt zwei Lagerbalken 17, die an den Lagerstellen vorzugsweise mit Kugelbüchsen 18 ausgerüstet sind. Zwei vertikale Stege 19 verbinden die beiden Lagerbalken 17 miteinander und sind an ihrem oberen Ende durch eine Stützplatte 20 gegenseitig verbunden.The transport device 2 has a carriage 15 which is mounted on two vertical guide rods 16 anchored in the end plates 10 of the swivel frame 6. The carriage 15 has two bearing beams 17, which are preferably equipped with ball bushings 18 at the bearing points. Two vertical webs 19 connect the two bearing beams 17 to one another and are connected to one another at their upper end by a support plate 20.

Als Antriebsmittel für das Transportgerät 2 dienen eine Antriebsmaschine in Form eines pneumatisch betriebenen Arbeitszylinders 21 und zwei für den Lastausgleich vorgesehene Gasfedern 22. Der Arbeitszylinder 21 und die Gasfedern 22 sind in der Ebene des Schwenkrahmens 6 angeordnet und stützen sich einerseits an der unteren Stirnplatte 10 des Schwenkrahmens 6 und andererseits an der oben liegenden Stützplatte 20 des Schlittens 15 ab. Beim Arbeitszylinder 21 befindet sich der Zylinderteil unten und die Kolbenstange oben, bei den Gasfedern 22 ist es umgekehrt.The drive means for the transport device 2 are a drive machine in the form of a pneumatically operated working cylinder 21 and two gas springs 22 provided for load balancing. The working cylinder 21 and the gas springs 22 are arranged in the plane of the pivot frame 6 and are supported on the one hand on the lower end plate 10 of the Swing frame 6 and on the other hand on the top support plate 20 of the carriage 15. In the working cylinder 21, the cylinder part is at the bottom and the piston rod is at the top, with the gas springs 22 it is the other way round.

Am Schlitten 15 des Transportgerätes 2 ist die Personentragvorrichtung 23 befestigt, und zwar ist im vorliegenden Beispiel an zwei Holmen 24, die seitlich an den Lagerbalken 17 des Schlittens 15 angebracht sind, ein Liegesitz 25 um die Gelenke 26 hochklappbar montiert. Ferner können an den Holmen 24 hochklappbare Armlehnen vorgesehen sein.The person-carrying device 23 is fastened to the carriage 15 of the transport device 2, and in the present example, a reclining seat 25 is mounted on the bars 26, which are attached laterally to the bearing beams 17 of the carriage 15, so that they can be folded up around the joints 26. Furthermore, armrests which can be folded up can be provided on the spars 24.

Zum Betrieb des Arbeitszylinders 21 kann eine Druckflasche mit gespeichertem Gas, z.B. C02, vorgesehen sein, wobei in diesem Fall vorzugsweise das Gestell 1 eine Halterung für diese Druckflasche aufweist.To operate the working cylinder 21, a pressure bottle with stored gas, for example C0 2 , can be provided, in which case the frame 1 preferably has a holder for this pressure bottle.

In Abänderung zu dem vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel kann der Montagerahmen 5 auch Teil eines ortsfest oder fahrbaren Ständers bilden. In bezug auf den Antrieb des Transportgerätes 2 besteht ferner z.B. die Möglichkeit, einen hydraulisch betriebenen Antriebszylinder oder einen elektromotorischen Spindel- oder Kettentrieb vorzusehen.In a modification of the exemplary embodiment described above, the mounting frame 5 can also form part of a stationary or mobile stand. With regard to the drive of the transport device 2 there is also e.g. the possibility of providing a hydraulically operated drive cylinder or an electromotive spindle or chain drive.
