Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Badewannen, insbesondere für den Pflegebetrieb, mit Drehvorrichtungen.The present invention relates to bathtubs, in particular for care operations, with rotating devices.

Patienten in Spitälern und Alten-Pflegeheimen, d.h. die körperlich behinderten Pflegeinsassen, werden mit zusätzlichen technischen Hilfsmitteln in Badewannen überführt. Bei Schwerstfällen wird oft das Bett ins Badezimmer gebracht, damit der bettlägrige Patient direkt vom Bett in die Wanne und zurück transferiert werden kann.Patients in hospitals and nursing homes for the elderly, i.e. the physically disabled nursing inmates are transferred to bathtubs with additional technical aids. In severe cases, the bed is often brought into the bathroom so that the bedridden patient can be transferred directly from the bed to the tub and back.

Insbesondere Hebe-Badewannen sind für leichter Behinderte geeignet, um dem Patienten das Ein- und Aussteigen in tiefster Stellung zu ermöglichen. Die Pflegeperson kann in diesem Fall, wenn der Patient sich in der Wanne befindet, die Wanne auf ergonomisch gute Arbeitshöhe einstellen.Lifting bathtubs in particular are suitable for the lightly handicapped to enable the patient to get in and out in the lowest position. In this case, when the patient is in the tub, the caregiver can adjust the tub to an ergonomically good working height.

Einrichtungen dieser Art sind im Pflegebereich dringend notwendig und trotzdem können in bestehenden Häusern und teilweise auch in Neubauten solche Badewannen nicht, oder nur schlecht, eingesetzt werden, wenn das geplante oder umzubauende Badezimmer in den Ausmassen klein ist.Facilities of this type are urgently needed in the care sector and nevertheless such bathtubs cannot be used, or only poorly, in existing houses and sometimes also in new buildings if the planned or remodeled bathroom is small in size.

Die Badewannen werden jeweils freistehend im Raum plaziert, damit die Wanne beidseitig und am Kopfende zugänglich ist. Dies bedingt einen grossen Raum, denn bevorzugt sollte ein Transfer, z.B. von einem Rollstuhl oder einem Bett, beidseitig der Wanne stattfinden können, um der Behinderung des Betroffenen Rechnung tragen zu können. Dies erfordert jedoch einen Platzbedarf von 2 m auf jeder Seite der Wanne. Ein Platzbedarf der in der Regel nicht zur Verfügung steht.The bathtubs are placed free-standing in the room so that the bathtub is accessible on both sides and at the head end. This requires a large space, because preferably a transfer, for example from a wheelchair or a bed, should be possible on both sides of the tub in order to take account of the person's disability. However, this requires a space of 2 m on each side of the tub. A space requirement that is usually not available.

EP 0 330 636 beschreibt ein Badesystem mit einer Wanne, einem Sitz, einem Antrieb zum Bewegen der Wanne von einer Badeposition, in der sie Wasser hält, in eine Einsteige- und Aussteigeposition, in der sie aufrecht gehalten wird, ohne im wesentlichen die Position des Sitzes aus der Badeposition zu verändern, wodurch der Badende sitzenbleiben kann, während sich die Wanne von einer Einsteige- und Aussteigeposition in die Badeposition verändert, wobei das Badesystem ebenfalls eine senkrechte Schwenkachse umfasst, um die Wanne in einer Horizontalebene zu bewegen. Dieses Badesystem hat den Nachteil, dass der Badende bis die Wanne gefüllt oder entleert wird jeweils etwa 10 Minuten warten muss und damit er während dieser Wartezeit nicht friert, mit warmer Luft angeblasen werden muss. Die Wanne kann in der aufrechten Position, wenn sie kein Wasser enthält, um die senkrechte Achse geschwenkt werden. Diese Schwenkung erleichtert die Reinigung und den Unterhaltservice der Wanne.EP 0 330 636 describes a bath system with a tub, a seat, a drive for moving the tub from a bathing position in which it holds water to a boarding and alighting position in which it is held upright, without essentially the position of the Change seat from the bathing position, allowing the bather to remain seated while the tub changes from a boarding and exiting position to the bathing position, the bathing system also including a vertical pivot axis to move the tub in a horizontal plane. The disadvantage of this bathing system is that the bather has to wait about 10 minutes each time until the tub is filled or emptied, so that he does not freeze during this waiting time and must be blown with warm air. The tub can be swiveled about the vertical axis in the upright position if it contains no water. This pivoting facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the tub.

Die vorliegende Erfindung sieht nun ein Badesystem vor, dass die obenerwähnten Nachteile nicht aufweist. Die erfindungsgemässe Badewanne beinhaltet eine Drehvorrichtung, damit für den Transfer des Patienten in die Wanne mehr Platz geschaffen werden kann. Dies ermöglicht nunmehr auch kleinere Badezimmer mit einer solchen Badewanne auszurüsten.The present invention now provides a bathing system which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above. The inventive Bathtub includes a rotating device so that more space can be created for the transfer of the patient into the tub. This now enables smaller bathrooms to be equipped with such a bathtub.

Diese Drehvorrichtung kann an Badewannen mit oder ohne Hebevorrichtung angebracht werden.This rotating device can be attached to bathtubs with or without a lifting device.

Erfindungsgemäss wird dies ermöglicht durch eine Badewanne, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Badewanne mit einer Drehvorrichtung versehen ist, so dass die Badewanne sowohl im gefüllten wie auch im leeren Zustand um eine senkrechte Achse dreh- oder schwenkbar ist.According to the invention, this is made possible by a bathtub, characterized in that the bathtub is provided with a rotating device, so that the bathtub can be rotated or pivoted about a vertical axis both in the filled and in the empty state.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines auf den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Darstellung einer Dreh- und Hubwanne,
  • Fig. 2 eine schematische Aufsicht auf eine Badewanne mit Drehvorrichtung,
  • Fig. 3 eine Frontansicht einer Dreh- und Hubwanne mit Stützrahmen,
  • Fig. 4 eine schematische Aufsicht eines Teils der Dreh- und Hubwanne von Fig. 3,
  • Fig. 5 eine Seitenansicht der Dreh- und Hubwanne von Fig. 3.
The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings. Show it:
  • 1 is a perspective view of a rotating and lifting trough,
  • 2 is a schematic plan view of a bathtub with a rotating device,
  • 3 is a front view of a rotating and lifting trough with support frame,
  • 4 is a schematic plan view of part of the rotating and lifting trough of FIG. 3,
  • 5 is a side view of the rotating and lifting tray of FIG. 3rd

Die in Figur 1 gezeigte Dreh- und Hubwanne 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Wannenkörper 2, wobei der Wannenkörper 2 aus z.B. Polyester bestehen kann, einer Dreh- und Hubvorrichtung 3, die am Fuss- oder Kopfende mit dem Wannenkörper 2 verbunden ist und den Wannenkörper 2 trägt, einem Grundrahmen 4 und einer Verkleidung mit Armaturenschrank 5.The rotating and lifting trough 1 shown in FIG. 1 essentially consists of a trough body 2, the trough body 2 consisting of e.g. Polyester can consist of a rotating and lifting device 3, which is connected to the tub body 2 at the foot or head end and supports the tub body 2, a base frame 4 and a paneling with fitting cabinet 5.

Figuren 3 bis 5 zeigen eine weitere Erscheinungsform der Dreh- und Hubwanne der Erfindung.Figures 3 to 5 show another aspect of the rotating and lifting tray of the invention.

Wie aus Figuren 3 bis 5 ersichtlich umfasst die Dreh- und Hubvorrichtung 3 einen Grundrahmen mit vier Füssen der über ein Hauptkugellager 6 mit einer Drehplattform 7 verbunden ist. Auf dieser Drehplattform 7 sind eine Standsäule 8 mit Schlitten 14 für die Lastaufnahme und eine Führungssäule 11 gegen Verdrehung befestigt (siehe Figur 3). An der Drehplattform 7 greift ein Hydraulikmotor 12 an, der diese um die senkrechte Achse des Hauptkulgellagers 6 um circa 20° drehen kann (siehe Figur 4). Es sind natürlich auch Drehvorrichtungen denkbar, die eine Drehung um mehr als 20° erlauben. Drehanschläge 9 und Gummipuffer 10 können die Drehmöglichkeit beschränken. Die Geschwindigkeit der horizontalen Drehung sollte langsam sein, um zu vermeiden, dass das Wasser aus der Wanne herausschwappt, bevorzugt wird eine Geschwindigkeit von ungefähr 4 mm/sec. Höhere und niedrigere Geschwindigkeiten können natürlich auch verwendet werden.As can be seen from FIGS. 3 to 5, the rotating and lifting device 3 comprises a base frame with four feet which is connected to a rotating platform 7 via a main ball bearing 6. On this rotating platform 7, a stand column 8 with a slide 14 for the load bearing and a guide column 11 against rotation are fastened (see FIG. 3). A hydraulic motor 12 acts on the rotating platform 7 and can rotate it about 20 ° about the vertical axis of the main ball bearing 6 (see FIG. 4). Of course, rotating devices are also conceivable that allow a rotation of more than 20 °. Rotary stops 9 and rubber buffers 10 can limit the possibility of rotation. The speed of the horizontal rotation should be slow in order to avoid that the water spills out of the tub, a speed of approximately 4 mm / sec is preferred. Of course, higher and lower speeds can also be used.

Eine bevorzugte Drehvorrichtung umfasst eine Bremsvorrichtung, die so funktioniert, dass wenn die Wanne fixiert ist, ein starker Federdruck durch eine Feder 16 auf eine Metallschiene 17 wirkt. Diese Bremse kann durch einen Bremsknopf 19 ausgelöst werden. Zum Drehen der Wanne wird der Federdruck hydraulisch gelöst, so dass die Wanne auf einem Kugellager frei manuell schwenkbar ist.A preferred rotating device includes a braking device that works so that when the tub is fixed, a strong spring pressure by a spring 16 acts on a metal rail 17. This brake can be triggered by a brake button 19. To turn the tub, the spring pressure is released hydraulically so that the tub can be freely pivoted manually on a ball bearing.

Wie aus Figur 4 ersichtlich hebt und senkt der Hydraulikmotor 13 einen Schlitten 14 für die Lastaufnahme, der über Gleitlager 15 mit der Standsäule 8 und auch mit der Führungssäule 11 gleitend verbunden ist. Die Hebevorrichtung 13 kann z.B. aus einem herkömmlichen Hydraulikmotor bestehen. Der Motor muss stark genug sein, um die Wanne zu heben, wobei diese eine Masse von bis zu ca. 500 kg besitzen kann (Gewicht des Wannenkörpers, des Wassers, des Schlittens und des Patienten). Die Hebevorrichtung 12 kann die Wanne z.B. um rund 45-55 cm in die für das Pflegepersonal ergonomisch richtige Höhe heben oder senken, damit der Patient leichter in die Wanne herein- oder heraussteigen kann, oder in die Wanne herein- oder herausgehoben werden kann. Die Hubgeschwindigkeit beträgt bevorzugt zwischen 12 - 14 mm/sec.As can be seen from FIG. 4, the hydraulic motor 13 raises and lowers a slide 14 for the load suspension, which is slidably connected to the stand column 8 and also to the guide column 11 via slide bearings 15. The lifting device 13 can e.g. consist of a conventional hydraulic motor. The motor must be strong enough to lift the tub, which can have a mass of up to approx. 500 kg (weight of the tub body, the water, the sled and the patient). The lifting device 12 can e.g. Raise or lower by about 45-55 cm to the ergonomically correct height for the nursing staff, so that the patient can get in or out of the tub more easily, or can be lifted in or out of the tub. The stroke speed is preferably between 12-14 mm / sec.

Zwischen der Standsäule 8 und dem Schlitten 14 für Lastaufnahme werden Gleitlagerflächen 15 angebracht, um den Kippmoment aufzufangen.Slide bearing surfaces 15 are attached between the stand column 8 and the carriage 14 for load absorption in order to absorb the tilting moment.

Wie in Figur 3 teilweise veranschaulicht, dient ein Rohrgestell 18 als Wannenauflager. Über dieses Rohrgestell 18 wird der Wannenkörper 2 am Schlitten 14 befestigt und schwingt zusammen mit demselben sowie der Drehplattform 7 mit Stand- und Führungssäule (8 und 11) um die senkrechte Achse des Hauptkugellagers 6.As partially illustrated in Figure 3, a tubular frame 18 serves as a tub support. The tub body 2 is fastened to the slide 14 via this tubular frame 18 and swings together with the same and the rotating platform 7 with stand and guide column (8 and 11) around the vertical axis of the main ball bearing 6.

Wie aus Figuren 1 und 5 ersichtlich, ist die Wanne 1 nur über den Grundrahmen 4 an einer Wand befestigt und steht sonst frei im Raum, so dass sie um die senkrechte Achse der Drehvorrichtung auf beide Seiten geschwenkt werden kann, was durch den Pfeil 20 in Figuren 2 und 4 veranschaulicht wird. Bei der Drehung drehen sich die obere Verkleidung und der Armaturenschrank 5 mit dem Wannenkörper 2. Die Drehung wird dadurch ermöglicht, dass der Wannenkörper 2 unten ausgeschnitten ist und so eine 20° Drehung erlaubt (siehe Figuren 1 und 5).As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 5, the tub 1 is only attached to a wall via the base frame 4 and is otherwise free in space, so that it can be pivoted about the vertical axis of the rotating device on both sides, which is indicated by the arrow 20 in Figures 2 and 4 is illustrated. During the rotation, the upper cover and the instrument cabinet 5 with the tub body 2 rotate. The rotation is made possible by the fact that the tub body 2 is cut out at the bottom and thus allows a 20 ° rotation (see FIGS. 1 and 5).

Als bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele wurden eine manuell drehbare Badewanne und eine Wanne mit einer Bremsvorrichtung aufgezeigt. Im Hinblick auf Sicherheit und Arbeitskomfort der Pflegeperson sind dies bevorzugte Lösungen des Problems, da mittels der Bremse die Wanne in einer beliebigen Stellung arretiert werden kann. Natürlich fallen andere technische Lösungen, die ebenfalls kontrollierte Drehung der Wanne erlauben, auch unter den Schutzbereich des Patents; denkbar wären z.B. ein Hebel- oder Kurbelmechanismus.A manually rotatable bathtub and a tub with a braking device have been shown as preferred exemplary embodiments. In terms of safety and comfort of the caregiver, these are preferred solutions to the problem, since the tub can be locked in any position by means of the brake. Of course, other technical solutions that also allow controlled rotation of the tub are also within the scope of the patent; would be conceivable e.g. a lever or crank mechanism.
