Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve smell, water treatment and other defects by performing care using a bathroom for bathing and a washroom for easing nature, and to lighten fatigue in caring a physically-disabled person by performing transfer to a wheelchair, and meals, television, resting posture control, or the like on a bed (Japanese bedding). <P>SOLUTION: This multifunctional care machine is usable without remodeling a patient's room or the like in a house/hospital. The pursuit or the like of operability and safety is materialized. A care receiver's sense of security is improved by a gondola fitted to the body. Improvement in reducing vibration in traveling a small-rugged surface is achieved by adopting a braking device and large-sized wheels. Furthermore, safety consideration is given by providing a column, to which an auxiliary beam is attached, with a means to press it against the wall or ceiling. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  Nursing care for various movements, including movement of the physically challenged

  Although there are individual care tools for lower body care, there are few transfers to individual care tools, auxiliary tools, etc., and there is no multifunctional care machine with one device.

  If you use the bathroom for bathing and the toilet for toilets, smells, water treatment, and other deficiencies will be solved, and you will be transferred to a wheelchair, meals on the bed (Japanese bedding), TV, resting posture control, etc. If this can be done, the care fatigue of the handicapped person will be reduced, so it is necessary to solve these problems.

Multifunction care machines can be used without modifying homes and hospital rooms. Usability. Realize the pursuit of safety.
The gondola that fits the body improves the sense of security of the care recipient. In addition, the use of brake devices and large wheels achieves improved vibration mitigation when traveling on small uneven surfaces. In addition, safety such as pressing on the wall or ceiling is also considered for the pillar to which the auxiliary beam is attached.

By using a multi-function care machine, etc., when the elderly can perform heavy work during the care of the super-aged and physically handicapped with light work, care by the elderly has become established and care facilities by healthy age groups The burden is reduced.
In other words, the workforce can be increased by the elderly, which has a positive impact on the payment and burden of nursing care insurance premiums, and further reduces the physical burden on nurses and caregivers at nursing facilities and hospitals. There are many human and financial effects.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

This care machine consists of a care machine main body and auxiliary beams attached to necessary places (bathroom, toilet, living room, etc.).
The main body of the care machine is a lifting device powered by a storage battery. It consists of a gondola (sub-gondola) suspended from it and a traveling wheel. When the main body of the care machine and the auxiliary beam are connected, the lifting tool can slide in the beam and lift and lower the caregiver. The care recipient is placed in the care machine main body, disconnected from the auxiliary beam, and moved to the next moving location.
1. Lighter care machine body Light alloy and plastic are used for the care machine. By adopting a flexible cylinder, the hanging part can be reduced and the lower part of the main body can be made into a bowl shape.
2. In order to ensure safe use in the bathroom, the power source of the combined nursing care machine was set to a voltage of 12V to 24V.
3. The gondola keeps the original shape of the flat plate in an unloaded state and fits the body shape when the cared person rides and lifts it, so that the cared person's fear when lifting is suspended.

A supplementary description will be given with the image diagram of FIG. 12 and other drawings.
The upper beam 1-1 of the gantry 1 shown in FIG. 1 is inserted into the tip of the auxiliary beam 22 shown in FIG. 1-1 and the insertion portion 23 have the same shape and are fitted with males and females, the safety cylinder 12 is lowered by the command of the sensor 13, and the multifunctional care machine and the auxiliary beam 22 are integrated. The caregiver turns the caregiver who has been laid down by about 90 ° as shown in the image of FIG. 12, inserts the gondola 26 of FIG. 7 under the caregiver, and returns the caregiver to the original. When it is lifted up, it passes through the flexible cylinder 9 of the lifting tool 7 and the tuning sheave 10 and rises to the highest lifting position in the lifting care locus state of FIG.
In the case of FIG. 12, since the cared person who is lifted faces the compound care machine, the lifting tool 7 is reversed. Since the lifting tool 7 is attached to a slider 8 with a roller that can be moved in the beam by a rotary joint 11, the caregiver moves by hand to the seating position of the gantry 1 via the auxiliary beam 22 and the composite care machine beam 1-1. Let When the caregiver is seated on the gantry 1 by operating the switch, when the cylinder opening switch (omitted) provided separately is pressed, the safety cylinder 12 rises, and the auxiliary beam and the multi-function care machine can be separated, and the cared person Move and light walk in FIG. The bathing in FIG.
The wheelchair can be easily changed in the state shown in FIG. In addition, a cared person who can freely move in a wheelchair can freely move in a wheelchair by removing the gondola 26 by a hook change operation when sitting on a wheelchair in which the sub-gondola 30 in FIG. 8 is placed on the gondola 26 in FIG. . In addition, the multifunctional care machine is designed in a bowl shape as shown in the top view of FIG. 3 so that it can pass even in a narrow place, so it can be passed through the three-scale corridor and the two-scale gate in FIG.
