DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In nursing homes, people with physical disabilities, such as jealousy, often wipe their bodies because of difficulty in bathing. Put the bather in a wheelchair from the bed, move to the bath room, hold the wheelchair etc. in the bathtub, repeatedly raise and lower people with disabilities, if you are at home, you need a moving bathing car, etc. In any case, multiple helpers are required, and the assistive labor is severe and requires considerable physical strength and experience. In addition, since bathing is an assistance requiring power, there are many cases where two or three male assistants are attached, and for female bathers, there is embarrassment. The present invention is a bed with bathing facilities that integrates a bathtub and a bed so that one woman can take a bath with the assistance of one woman in order to improve the bathing assistance of a person with a physical disability such as a bedridden person. In addition, people with disabilities can take a bath without hesitation.

A bathtub 1 is a base for a mat 2 when used as a bed. The inside of the vertical cross section of the bathtub 1 is semicircular, the circular portion is the bottom (see FIG. 4), and the horizontal cross section is shallow from the foot side to the head 9 and the face is above the warm water surface during bathing. And make the back of the head slightly deeper 10 for hair washing so that warm water can be applied to the head (see FIG. 3). As a device for raising the bather from the bathtub, a bucket 8 is installed from both sides of the inner side of the bathtub to the center of the bottom surface (see FIGS. 5 and 10), and the branch 11 of the bucket does not protrude in the bathtub. The eleventh part is buried in the bathtub 1 body and processed so as to be flat (see FIG. 7). Hot water supply port 12 and water supply port 1 on side of bather's feet
3 and a drain port 14 is provided at the bottom. Bather's body wash,
Several high-speed hot water outlets are provided below the bathtub surface for massage. This hot water (and sometimes detergent) is used by circulating hot water in the bathtub. Solenoid valves are attached to the hot water supply pipe, the water supply pipe and the drain pipe, and the switches are integrated on the operation panel 15. (See FIG. 3).

[0003] The floor of the bathtub is made waterproof and supports 16 on all sides.
17, 18 and 19 are built, the back side is provided with fixed waterproof walls and the side and front sides are provided with moisture-proof curtains, and the upper part is fixed with each pillar as a moisture-proof ceiling, and lighting and exhaust equipment are installed.

[0004] A futon hanging device 3 is installed for moving the futon (see Fig. 4). A pipe 21 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the track near the vertical direction from the horizontal part of the track 2 for moving the mat 2, and a support 22 is provided at each of the left and right ends of the pipe.
And a hook 23 for hanging a futon
Attach a futon pad 24 with an interval of about 20 cm. Hydraulic cylinder 25 that moves this support horizontally to 85 °
Is provided on one of the columns (see FIG. 4), and the futon cover 24 is moved horizontally to 85 ° by extending and contracting the hydraulic cylinder to move the futon 4 hooked on the hook of the futon cover 24. Make a hole for the hook in advance at the end of the futon.

[0005] A device for raising the bather (moving the mat) and lowering the bather (putting the bather in the bathtub) by using the sheet 6 like a hammock is provided (see Fig. 4). A pipe 26 shorter than the width of the inside of the bathtub is attached to the outside of the bathtub upper surface, the head and the feet so that the pipe 26 can be rotated by 180 °. Roller 2 with hook
8 (see FIG. 16). The motor 41 is attached to the lower part of the center of the pipe as the rotation power of the column, and the gear fixed to the motor shaft and the gear fixed to the pipe 26 are engaged with each other. The rotation of the roller 28 is based on the motor 4 fixed to the support.
In step 2, a chain is passed through the support from the gear fixed to the motor shaft and is applied to the gear fixed to the roller 28 to rotate the roller 28. A serial number is written on the hook 29 of the roller 28, and the sheet 6 is divided into two parts in the vertical direction from the bather's head to the foot and used at the center part, and used at both ends in the vertical direction. It is provided at the same length as. The numbers are written so that the hooks 29 fit in all the hook holes and the center part overlaps (FIG. 1).
5). When all the hook holes of the sheet 6 are numbered to the hooks 29 and the roller is rotated outward, the sheet is stretched, and when the column is rotated outside, the bather rises, moves the mat 2, moves the column 27 and the roller 28 inside. When rotated, the sheets 6 enter the bathtub. The rotation operation of the roller 28 of the head, the roller 28 of the foot, and the strut performs balanced rotation using a limit switch by an optical sensor and a start signal stored in a control circuit incorporated in the operation panel 15 in advance. The sheet 6 uses a cloth in consideration of strength.

[0006] As a device for moving the mat 2, a track 2
Attach 0 ,. A stainless steel C-shaped orbit is fixed to each of the upper surface of the bathtub, the head and the feet, and a round stainless steel tube is embedded in the lower surface of the bathtub (see FIG. 6). The mat 2 is provided up to a vertical position (see FIG. 4), the C-shaped track and the round pipe are connected at the top, and the idle gear 30 is attached in the middle of the connection. A motor 43 is installed at the lower part of the foot of the bathtub, a gear is fixed to the shaft, two gears are connected in parallel in the track 20 on the upper part of the gear, and one of the gears and the gear of the motor 43 are chained and interlocked.
A chain 31 is applied from the other gear through a C-shaped orbit to the idling wheel at the apex and through a round tube (see FIG. 6). For the head trajectory, gears are provided at positions opposite to the two parallel connection gears at the feet and connected by a shaft, and the other specifications are the same. The mat 2 is folded in three vertically to move a curved curve, and the front is bent and the back is separated (see FIG. 27). The wheels are engaged with the C-shaped track, and the axes of all the wheels are fixed to the chain 31. (See FIG. 6) When the motor 43 is rotated forward, the mat 2 moves along the track until it becomes vertical, and when rotated reversely, the mat 2 returns to the upper part of the bathtub 2.

A bucket 8 is provided as a device for raising a bather from the bathtub (see FIG. 16). At the time of bathing, branch 1 of the bucket from both inner surfaces of the bathtub to the center of the bottom so as not to feel uncomfortable.
1 was embedded in the bathtub and installed (see FIG. 7). Branch 11
Is a rounded triangle having a side of about 2 cm, a side of which is in contact with the skin, an interval of 5 to 10 cm, and four ends of the bucket 8 on both sides are joint portions 32 (FIG. 8 and FIG. 8). 10).

A hoist 7 is provided as a device for raising and lowering the bucket 8. A track 33 is provided between the support 16 and the support 17 and between the support 18 and the support 19, and a motor 34 for a hoist moving unit is fixed above each track. A horizontal column 35 is attached to the hoist moving section on the track, and a motor 36 for connecting and releasing the bucket and opening and closing the bucket is fixedly installed at the top of the column at the top end of the column with the upper semicircle. This track has the same form as the track 20 of the mat 2.

The connection and detachment of the joint portion 32 of the bucket 8 and the joint portion 37 of the hoist 7 are performed by pulling the hook portion of the bucket 8 outward with a coil spring 38 to maintain the open state (see FIG. 8). The hook portion is moved to a position where it engages with the joint of the bucket 8 (see FIG. 9), and the hoist is lowered while maintaining the same position (the hook portion of the hoist is raised to maintain the position). The hooks 8 are pushed and engaged (see FIG. 10). When the hoist 7 is connected and the hoist 7 is raised, the bucket 8 is raised (see FIG. 14), and when the hoist 7 is lowered, the bucket 8 is lowered. When the joint of the hoist 7 is raised, the bucket 8 is opened (see FIG. 15) and the joint is lowered. And the bucket 8 closes.
