Description

Die Erfindung betrifft 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 bed, in particular a hospital or care bed, with a motor-driven adjustable lying surface and with a manual switch for inputting 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 a care or hospital bed and such a handset are from the publication with the
publication number DE 202 07 648 U1 known. This publication shows a manual switch in which various switches are provided in order to move to the various positions of the lying surface. The positions of the lying surfaces that can be approached are shown in symbols on the handset. Two buttons are assigned to each symbol, with one button being able to move to the position indicated in the symbol and the other button being able to move from this position back to a starting position. Two buttons are therefore assigned to each controllable position. As a result, a total of six buttons are provided for three positions that can be approached, in order to approach only three positions or to return to a basic position from these positions. While the effort involved in the manual switch shown in the publication mentioned is still manageable, the effort multiplies as soon as there are additional positions that can be approached. The manual switches are becoming more complex and confusing in their design. This is where the present invention comes in.

Ein weiteres Beispiel ist aus dem Patentdokument FR 2 737 686 A bekannt.Another example is from the patent document FR 2 737 686 A known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Bett mit einem 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 object of the invention is to further develop a bed with a handset of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the effort, especially when different positions are to be moved to with the handset, is reduced and the design of the handset is clearer.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den im kennzeichenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 genannten Merkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention with the features mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1.

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.There is a selection switch in the handset for each position that the bed can move to. In order to be able to move to a position, this is activated. The direction switches can then be used to set whether the position shown in the symbol of the associated selection switch is to be approached or whether it is to be 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 a selection switch of a manual switch according to the invention has been actuated, the direction of the adjustment process can be set or started for a predetermined period of time. After the time has elapsed or outside the time, a direction switch can be actuated, but the actuation is unsuccessful. A movement of the 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 selection switches but also the direction switches can preferably be buttons. The duration of the adjustment process can be set by the duration of the actuation of one of the direction switches. 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.A handset according to the invention can be connected to a control of a hospital bed according to the invention via a cable.

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele für erfindungsgemäße Handschalter sind in der Zeichnung näher dargestellt. Darin zeigt

Two exemplary embodiments for manual switches according to the invention are shown in more detail in the drawing. In it shows
1
a plan view of a first manual switch according to the invention and
2
a plan view of a second manual switch according to the invention.

Der erste Handschalter weist ein in etwa quaderförmiges Gehäuse auf, auf dessen Oberseite verschiedene mit Symbolen versehene Schalter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, u, d angeordnet sind. Bei den Schaltern handelt es sich um Auswahlschalter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 auf der einen Seite und Richtungsschalter u, d auf der anderen Seite. Sowohl die Auswahlschalter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 als auch die Richtungsschalter u, d sind als Taster ausgeführt. Im Bereich der Auswahlschalter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ist jeweils eine dem jeweiligen Schalter zugeordnete Leuchtdiode L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 angeordnet. Eine Weitere Leuchtdiode L6 ist zusätzlich an der Oberseite des Gehäuses vorgesehen. Über ein Kabel K kann der Handschalter mit einem Bett verbunden werden.The first manual switch has an approximately cuboid housing, on the top of which various switches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, u, d, which are provided with symbols, are arranged. The switches are selector switches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on one side and direction switches u, d on the other side. Both the selection switches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the direction switches u, d are designed as buttons. In the area of the selector switches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, a light-emitting diode L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 assigned to the respective switch is arranged. Another light-emitting diode L6 is also provided on the top of the housing. The handset can be connected to a bed via a cable K.

Schalter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 sind mit Symbolen versehen, die verschiedene Positionen der Liegefläche des Bettes zeigen (Auswahlschalter 1, 2, 4, 5) oder aber eine Höhenverstellung der Liegefläche des Bettes symbolisieren (Auswahlschalter 3). Wir nun einer der Auswahlschälter betätigt, kann für einen vorbestimmten Zeitraum von ca. 30 Sekunden die in dem Symbol auf dem entsprechenden Auswahlschalter angedeutete Funktion ausgeführt beziehungsweise die Stellung der Liegefläche angefahren werden. Wird beispielsweise der Auswahlschalter 1 betätigt, ist es möglich, eine Rückenlehne der Liegefläche zu verstellen. Bei der Betätigung des Auswahlschalters 2 wird die Rückenlehne, die Oberschenkelstütze und die Unterschenkelstütze auf die in dem Symbol angedeutete Art und Weise eingestellt. Durch Betätigung des Auswahlschalters 3 kann die Höhe der Liegefläche eingestellt werden. Durch Betätigung des Auswahlschalters 4 kann die Rückenlehne einerseits und die Unterschenkel- und Oberschenkelstütze verstellt werden. Entsprechend wird bei Betätigung eines Auswahlschalters 5 ermöglicht, die Rückenlehne und die übrige Liegefläche V-förmig zueinander zu neigen.Switches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are provided with symbols that show different positions of the bed surface (selector switch 1, 2, 4, 5) or symbolize a height adjustment of the bed surface (selector switch 3). If one of the selection switches is now actuated, the function indicated in the symbol on the corresponding selection switch can be carried out or the position of the lying surface can be approached for a predetermined period of approx. 30 seconds. If, for example, the selection switch 1 is actuated, it is possible to adjust a backrest of the lying surface. When the selection switch 2 is actuated, the backrest, the thigh support and the lower leg support are adjusted in the manner indicated in the symbol. The height of the lying surface can be adjusted by operating the selector switch 3. By actuating the selection switch 4, the backrest on the one hand and the lower leg and thigh support can be adjusted. Accordingly, when a selection switch 5 is actuated, it is possible to incline the backrest and the rest of the lying surface towards one another in a V-shape.

Ist einer der Auswahlschalter betätigt worden kann der Verstellvorgang für die vorbestimmte Zeit durch Betätigung eines der Richtungsschalter u, d ausgeführt werde. Bei Betätigung des Schalters u wird in die in den Symbolen dargestellte Position gefahren, während bei Betätigung des Richtungsschalters d zurück in eine Ausgangsposition verfahren werden kann. Ist nach der vorbestimmten Zeit von etwa 30 Sekunden kein Richtungsschalter u, d betätigt worden, muss erneut ein Auswahlschalter betätigt werden, wenn die Position der Liegefläche beziehungsweise die Stellung der Liegefläche verändert werden soll. In der Zeitdauer, in der eine Verstellung der Liegefläche möglich ist, leuchtet die Leuchtdiode L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 des Auswahlschalters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, der betätigt worden ist.If one of the selection switches has been actuated, the adjustment process can be carried out for the predetermined time Actuation of one of the direction switches u, d will be executed. When the switch u is actuated, it is moved to the position shown in the symbols, while when the direction switch d is actuated, it is possible to move back to a starting position. If no direction switch u, d has been actuated after the predetermined time of about 30 seconds, a selection switch must be actuated again if the position of the lying surface or the position of the lying surface is to be changed. The light-emitting diode L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 of the selection switch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 that has been actuated lights up during the period in which the lying surface can be adjusted.

Die Auswahlschalter 4 oder 5 können nur vom Pflegepersonal betätigt werden. Die beiden Auswahlschalter 4, 5 sind gegen eine Betätigung durch den Patienten gesperrt. Dazu ist auf der Rückseite des Gehäuses ein Sperrschalter vorgesehen, der in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt ist.Selector switch 4 or 5 can only be operated by nursing staff. The two selector switches 4, 5 are locked against activation by the patient. For this purpose, a locking switch is provided on the back of the housing, which is not shown in the drawing.

Der zweite Handschalter, wie er in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, unterscheidet sich von dem ersten Handschalter nur dadurch, dass bei dem zweiten Handschalter die Auswahlschalter 4, 5 nicht vorgesehen sind. Der zweite Handschalter weist lediglich Auswahlschalter 1, 2, 3 für Verstellvorgänge auf, die von einem Patienten durchgeführt werden dürfen.The second manual switch as found in 2 is shown, differs from the first hand switch only in that the second hand switch, the selection switch 4, 5 are not provided. The second manual switch has only selection switches 1, 2, 3 for adjustment processes that may be carried out by a patient.
