Definitions

  • the present specification relates to an assistive device configured to assist in transferring a care receiver.
  • Assistive devices are generally driven by an actuator to move a support section supporting a part of the care receiver's body.
  • the introduction of assistive devices reduces the physical burden on caregivers and care receivers, thereby mitigating shortages in caregiver staff.
  • an assistive device there is a device configured to assist in transferring a care receiver from a sitting posture. Examples of techniques relating to this type of assistive device are disclosed in Patent Literature 1 and 2.
  • the body transferring device of Patent Literature 1 includes a traveling section equipped with wheels, a support section positioned above the traveling section to support the care receiver, and a driving section to drive the support section in the height direction. Further, the arc-shaped swinging operation of the support section is performed by driving by a driving section equivalent to an actuator. With this, the caregiver can easily and quickly transfer the care receiver while preventing injury to the caregiver's back.
  • the assisting robot of Patent Literature 2 includes a lifting and lowering section that moves in an up-down direction with respect to a base, an arm that is swingably provided in the lifting and lowering section, and a support section that is provided at the distal end of the arm.
  • the lifting and lowering section and the arm are driven by separate actuators to perform a two-stage operation. With this, the lifting and lowering section and the arm can be operated in coordination with each other, and discomfort to the care receiver can be suppressed.
  • Patent Literature 3 provides a further assistive device according to the prior art.
  • Patent Literature 1 since the support section only swings in an arc, it is not always possible for the care receiver to use it comfortably.
  • Patent Literature 2 since the lifting and lowering section and the arm are independently operated with the use of two actuators, transferring the care receiver becomes smooth and more comfortable. However, the use of two actuators leads to increased costs.

  • the assistive device comprising: a base; an arm, being provided on the base, swingable in a front-rear direction; a support section, supporting a part of a body of the care receiver, which is provided on the arm to be swingable in a front-rear direction the support section having an underarm support section; an actuator having a main body section, which is provided on the base and tiltable in a front-rear direction, and a movable section configured to extend and retract from the main body section; and a linking mechanism having a first linking member, which is swingably provided on the arm and connected to the movable section, and a second linking member, which is fixed to the support section and engaged with the first linking member and a restricting member; wherein the linking mechanism transfers a first motion, in which the movable section is extended from a shortened position to a predetermined intermediate position, to a forward swinging motion of the support section; and transfers
  • a single actuator can be used to drive the forward swinging of the support section and the forward swinging of the arm.
  • transferring the care receiver becomes smooth and more comfortable for the care receiver.
  • the cost is low compared to the prior art using two actuators.

  • connecting pin 613 is positioned at the front upper end of elongated hole 74. Thereafter, when movable section 52 starts the second motion, arm 3 swings, but the relative positional relationship between arm 3 and arm restricting mechanism 7 does not change.

As a result, transferring care receiver M becomes smooth and more comfortable. Also, the cost is low compared to the prior art using two actuators.
  • assistive device 1 of the embodiment disengaging second linking member 62 from first linking member 61 is allowed. That is, second linking member 62 can swing clockwise away from engagement pin 617 of first linking member 61 (see Fig. 10 ). As a result, support section 4 freely swings forward. Therefore, it is possible to enlarge the region below support section 4, and care receiver M can easily insert the lower body. Further, the thighs of care receiver M will never be held by strong force.
  • Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the upper portion of arm 3 from above at an oblique angle. As shown, the movable first linking member 61 and second linking member 62 are covered by upper cover member 38. As a result, safety is improved, and the appearance is simplified and the aesthetic appearance is improved. Further, arm 3 is formed by connecting arm front section 34 and arm upper section 35, and actuator 5 is disposed close to arm front section 34. Thus, a spacious region is secured below support section 4, and care receiver M does not feel cramped.
  • Fig. 10 is a side cross-sectional view showing an unexpected swinging motion of arm 3 with movable section 52 in an intermediate position.
  • Fig. 10 it is assumed that an external force is applied in a forward direction to support section 4 in a configuration in which arm restricting mechanism 7 is not provided.
  • support section 4 freely swings forward.
  • arm 3 swings forward. That is, arm 3 swings without operating movable section 52.
  • arm 3 swings by an angle ⁇ in an unexpected motion. This occurs when care receiver M vigorously rides on support section 4. As a result, care receiver M feels uneasy about the unexpected swinging motion of arm 3 and feels less comfortable.
  • Arm restricting mechanism 7 shown by a broken line in Fig. 10 restricts the unexpected swinging motion of arm 3 by always accommodating the position of connecting pin 613 inside elongated hole 74.
  • arm restricting mechanism 7 eliminates the degree of freedom of linking mechanism 6 and restricts the unexpected motion of arm 3. Therefore, with assistive device 1 of the embodiment, it is possible to restrict the unexpected motion of arm 3 and ensure the comfort of care receiver M.
  • arm restricting mechanism 7 does not hinder the driving by actuator 5. If the swinging of arm 3 in the forward direction is merely restricted, arm 3 may be biased in the rearward direction by using the biasing member. In this case, however, the rearward urging force hinders the driving by actuator 5. On the other hand, with the present embodiment, it is possible to restrict the unexpected motion of arm 3 without requiring an increase in the output of actuator 5.
