Description

  The present invention is a bath bed set mainly used by care recipients who need care, and in particular, can be used independently as a bed according to the health condition of the user, and is combined with a bathtub in the bed It relates to a bath bed set that can be used together.

  For those who need care (hereinafter referred to as care recipients), such as elderly people and people with physical disabilities, bathing takes a lot of labor, and severely cared people who are difficult to bathe alone Yes. In general, when bathing a cared person, move the bed close to the bathtub together with the cared person, hold the cared person from the top of the bed by multiple caregivers, drop it into the bathtub, and wash it. He took the effort of holding the cared person again and bringing it back to bed and keeping it safe. In such a conventional bathing method, the caregiver's labor is considerable, and it is impossible to bathe every day, which is inconvenient.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, Patent Document 1 discloses a conventional technique in which a bathtub is integrated with a bed portion so that a care recipient can take a bath while sleeping. A rectangular upper frame and a lower frame are provided in two steps vertically according to the height of the bathtub, so that the bathtub with one side of the lower frame fixed to the bathtub carriage can enter and exit between the upper and lower frames. In addition, since the air mat is stretched to cover the upper frame, the care recipient can sleep on the air mat. It is disclosed that when the air mat is inserted and the air mat is evacuated, the air mat bends and the care recipient can take a bath while lying down.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-67296

  As described above, in Patent Document 1, when the care recipient takes a bath, the bathtub is inserted between the upper and lower frames while being placed on the bathtub carriage, and the air mat is deflated by bending the air mat. The care recipient can take a bath while sleeping, but the form of use is limited, and when using it as a bed, there are no satisfactory functions such as a back function or a leg function, which causes inconvenience. Sometimes.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this point, and it aims at providing the bath bed set which can be suitably set as the form according to the objective according to the intended purpose.

Connection holes 65 to which the ends of the wires 40 are connected are formed on the left and right ends of the shaft members 64.

Next, a usage pattern of the bath bed set 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
First, a case where a mild cared person who is in good health and can take a bath by being accompanied by a caregiver will use it as a bed will be described.
In the case of independent use as a bed, first, the bed portion 7 includes a flat bed portion 41, a movable bed portion 45 having a back function and a leg function, and a movable bed portion 55 having a back function. Any one of them is configured, and the bed portion 7 is placed on each frame member 26, 26 extending in the longitudinal direction of the bed frame 27 via a mounting bracket (not shown) via the mounting bracket, For example, it is used in a state in which a mat 70 as shown in FIG. 9 is laid.

Next, a case where the care receiver is bedridden and used in combination with a bed and a bathtub will be described.
Also in this usage mode, the bed unit 7 selects any one of the flat bed unit 41, the movable bed unit 45 having a back function and a leg function, and the movable bed unit 55 having a back function. Composed.
First, when used as a bed, the bed portion 7 having the above-described configuration is placed on the stepped portion 10 of the bathtub 2 and the separable mat 70 shown in FIG. 9 is laid on the bed portion 7. Use in state.
When the care recipient is to bathe, the bathing net 60 is first placed on the mat 70 with the shaft member 64 removed, while the caretaker is turned over to the left and right alternately, and then bathing. Each shaft member 64 is fixed before and after the net 60 via each fixing member 63, and the end of each wire 40 passing from each drive drum 39 via each guide roller 38 is connected to each shaft member 64 of the bathing net 60. It connects to each provided connection hole 65. Thereafter, the driving drum 39 is rotated by the driving means to raise the bathing net 60 together with the care recipient, so that a gap is formed between the bathing net 60 and the mat 70, and the steps of the mat 70 and the bathtub 2 are increased. The bed part 7 placed on the part 10 is removed. And the drive drum 39 is reversely rotated by the drive means, and the bathing net 60 is lowered into the bathtub portion 9 together with the care recipient. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the cared person can take a bath in an easy posture in the bathtub portion 9 of the bathtub 2 because the body portion 61 of the bathing net 60 is slightly bent. The mat 70 may be removed by dividing it into the left half 72 and the right half 71 while laying the bathing net 60 and turning the care recipient alternately on the left and right.

  In addition, after bathing, the bathing net 60 is raised above the stepped portion 10 of the bathtub 2 together with the cared person, and water droplets adhering to the cared person are wiped together with the bathing net 60, and then the bed part 7. Is placed on the step portion 10 of the bathtub 2 and the mat 70 is laid on the bed portion 7, and then the bathing net 60 is lowered onto the mat 70 together with the care recipient. Then, after the care recipient is turned over alternately left and right and the bathing net 60 is removed, the water drop of the care recipient is sufficiently wiped off and the bathing is terminated.

  When using as a bed, a bathing net 60 is inserted between the bed portion 7 and the mat 70 in advance, and when bathing, the mat 70 is divided while turning the care recipient alternately left and right. The care recipient is placed on the bathing net 60 to be removed. And it is also possible to raise the bathing net 60 together with the cared person, remove the bed 7, lower the bathing net 60 together with the cared person into the bathtub 2, and bath the cared person.

  As described above, the bath bed set 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the bathtub 2, the bed frame 27 including the columns 3 to 6 that can support the bathtub 2, and the columns 3 to 6. The bed portion 7 includes a stepped portion 10 provided in the bathtub 2 and a bed portion 7 that can be placed on the bed frame 27. The bed portion 7 includes a flat bed portion 41, a back function and Since either the movable bed portion 45 having a leg function or the movable bed portion 55 having a back function can be selected and used, the usage form is not limited and it can be used for any purpose. Thus, it can be used in an appropriate usage form.

  That is, when the bed part 7 is used independently as a bed, the bed part 7 is any one of the flat bed part 41, the movable bed part 45 having a back function and a leg function, and the movable bed part 55 having a back function. The bed portion 7 is placed on the frame members 26, 26 extending in the longitudinal direction of the bed frame 27 via mounting brackets (not shown), and the mat is placed on the bed portion 7. 70 can be used.

Further, when the bed is used in combination with the bathtub, when used as a bed, the flat bed portion 41, the movable bed portion 45 having a back function and a leg function, and the movable bed portion 55 having a back function. The bed part 7 is configured by selecting any of the above, and the bed part 7 can be placed on the stepped part 10 of the bathtub 2 and a mat 70 can be laid on the bed part 7 for use.
Further, when bathing the cared person from this state, the bathing net 60 is laid between the cared person and the mat 70, the driving drum 39 is rotated by the driving means, and the bathing net 60 is moved together with the cared person. The mat 70 and the bed portion 7 are removed, and then the bathing net 60 is lowered into the bathtub 2 together with the cared person so that the bathed person 60 can take a bath while supporting the cared person. .
