Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Handschalter für ein Bett, insbesondere für ein Kranken- oder Pflegebett. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Bett, insbesondere ein Kranken- oder Pflegebett mit einer motorisch verstellbaren Liegefläche und mit einem Handschalter zur Eingabe der gewünschten Verstellung durch einen Bediener.The invention relates to a handset for a bed, especially for a hospital or nursing bed. The invention further relates to a bed, in particular a hospital or nursing bed with a motor-adjustable reclining surface and with a manual switch for entering the desired adjustment by an operator.

Ein solches Pflege- beziehungsweise Krankenbett und ein solcher Handschalter sind aus der Druckschrift mit der Veröffentlichungsnummer DE 202 07 648 U1 bekannt. Diese Druckschrift zeigt einen Handschalter, bei dem verschiedene Schalter vorgesehen sind, um die verschiedenen Positionen der Liegefläche anzufahren. Auf dem Handschalter sind in Symbolen die Stellungen der Liegeflächen dargestellt, die angefahren werden können. Dem Symbol sind dabei jeweils zwei Taster zugeordnet, wobei mit einem Taster die in dem Symbol angezeigte Position angefahren werden kann und mit dem anderen Taster aus dieser Position zurück in eine Ausgangsposition gefahren werden kann. Jeder ansteuerbaren Position sind somit zwei Taster zugeordnet. Dieses führt dazu, dass für drei anfahrbare Positionen insgesamt sechs Taster vorgesehen sind, um nur drei Positionen anzufahren beziehungsweise aus diesen Positionen wieder zurück in eine Grundstellung zu kommen. Während der Aufwand bei dem in der genannten Druckschrift gezeigten Handschalter noch übersichtlich ist, vervielfacht sich der Aufwand, sobald weitere Positionen hinzukommen, die angefahren werden können. Die Handschalter werden in ihrer Gestaltung aufwendiger und unübersichtlicher. Hier setzt die vorliegende Erfindung an.Such care or hospital bed and such a hand switch are known from the publication with the publication number DE 202 07 648 U1. This document shows a hand switch in which various switches are provided to approach the various positions of the bed. The positions of the lying areas that can be approached are shown in symbols on the handset. Two buttons are assigned to the symbol, whereby the position indicated in the symbol can be approached with one button and the other button can be used to move from this position back to a starting position. Each controllable position is thus assigned two buttons. This means that for three approachable positions a total of six buttons are provided to approach only three positions or to come back from these positions back to a normal position. While the effort in the manual switch shown in the cited document is still clear, the effort multiplies as soon as more positions are added that can be approached. The handset will be more complex and confusing in their design. This is where the present invention begins.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Handschalter der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, dass der Aufwand, insbesondere wenn verschiedene Positionen mit dem Handschalter angefahren werden sollen, geringer wird und die Gestaltung des Handschalters übersichtlicher ist.The invention has the object of providing a hand switch of the type mentioned in such a way that the effort, especially when different positions are to be approached with the handset, is less and the design of the handset is clear.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Handschalter zumindest zwei Auswahlschalter aufweist, mit welchen die Art eines Verstellvorgangs einstellbar ist, und zwei Richtungsschalter aufweist, mit welchen die Richtung des Verstellvorgangs einstellbar ist. Für jede Position, die das Bett anfahren kann, ist im Handschalter ein Auswahlschalter vorgesehen. Um eine Position anfahren zu können wird dieser aktiviert. Daraufhin kann dann mit den Richtungsschaltern eingestellt werden, ob die in dem Symbol des zugehörigen Auswahlschalters dargestellte Position angefahren wird oder in eine Grundstellung gefahren wird.This object is achieved in that the manual switch has at least two selector switches, with which the type of adjustment is adjustable, and two directional switch, with which the direction of the adjustment is adjustable. For each position that can approach the bed, a selector switch is provided in the manual switch. To be able to approach a position this is activated. Then it can then be set with the direction switches, whether the position shown in the symbol of the associated selector switch is approached or moved to a basic position.

Nach einer Betätigung eines Auswahlschalters eines erfindungsgemäßen Handschalters kann die Richtung des Verstellvorgangs für eine vorbestimmte Zeitdauer eingestellt beziehungsweise angefahren werden. Nach dem Ablauf der Zeitdauer oder außerhalb der Zeitdauer kann ein Richtungsschalter zwar betätigt werden, die Betätigung hat jedoch keinen Erfolg. Ein Verfahren des Bettes ist Blockiert.After actuation of a selection switch of a manual switch according to the invention, the direction of the adjustment process can be set or started for a predetermined period of time. After expiration of the time period or outside the time period, although a directional switch can be operated, the operation is unsuccessful. One method of bed is blocked.

Die Auswahlschalter aber auch die Richtungsschalter können vorzugsweise Taster sein. Durch die Dauer der Betätigung eines der Richtungsschalter kann das Andauern des Verstellvorgangs eingestellt werden. Sobald der Richtungsschalter nicht mehr betätigt wird, wird der Verstellvorgang abgebrochen oder unterbrochen.The selector switches but also the directional switches can preferably be push buttons. By the duration of the operation of one of the directional switch, the duration of the adjustment process can be adjusted. As soon as the direction switch is no longer actuated, the adjustment process is aborted or interrupted.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Handschalter kann über ein Kabel mit einer Steuerung eines erfindungsgemäßen Krankenbetts verbunden sein.An inventive hand switch can be connected via a cable to a controller of a hospital bed according to the invention.
