Description

  The present invention relates to a floor lifting device for eliminating a step difference, which removes a step between a floor and a bathtub of a bathroom in a household, a step, and other steps.

  In recent years, with the aging of society accelerating, the limbs have declined due to aging, and steps such as stairs, toilets, and bathrooms have become obstacles in order to live at home, and many families require caregivers when walking. .

  In order for elderly people to live independently in existing homes, barrier-free in the home, such as steps in the stairs in the home and steps in the toilet floor and toilet seat, are a major issue. Yes.

  The level difference between the bath tub and the floor is a big problem when taking a bath, especially because of the age of the legs.

  We use handrails and other obstacles for the steps that enter the bathtub in the bathtub and use them as walking aids when bathing.

There are chair-equipped bathing equipment that lifts and lowers using hydraulic pressure and water pressure in the market, but these care equipment is used by caregivers when taking care of elderly people who bathe in the bathtub, where the caregiver has fallen. It is a thing that uses the operation.
Japanese Patent Application 2002-280281 Japanese Patent Application 2000-010182 Japanese Patent Application No. 10-294545 Japanese Patent Application No. 10-213503 Japanese Patent Application No. 07-350477

  The problem to be solved is that a level difference between the floor and the bathtub floor, a level difference in stairs, and the like occur.

Challenges to solve the challenges

  The most significant feature of the floor lifting device of the present invention is that the level difference of the floor can be eliminated simply by installing the device on the existing floor without dismantling the existing bathtub, existing stairs, toilets, etc. Yes.

The invention's effect

  The floor raising / lowering apparatus of the present invention uses an expansion / contraction motion such as an air cylinder hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, and a rotating bolt for raising and lowering the floor for the floor raising and lowering function.

  In addition, since the bag body's expansion / contraction motion is used for the floor lifting function by using air, water, hydraulic pressure, etc. for the confidential and elastic bag member, there is an advantage that the device can be made thin and small easily. .

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Lift the floor using water, air, hydraulic cylinders, and rotating bolts in the pantograph-shaped lifting section on the floor of stairs and toilets.
By using water, air, hydraulic pressure, etc. for the staircase floor and the lift function section, the expansion and contraction bag body members can be expanded and contracted, and the floor lift function can be applied to floors that are raised and lowered in bathrooms and in bathtubs, and inexpensive. Now, a floor lifting device with a lifting function has been made.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lifting device frame according to the present invention, in which 1 is a state in which the floor frame is folded, and 2 is a frame perspective view in which the floor frame is lifted and lowered to a target height.

  The frame shown in Fig. 1 is a frame of an existing elevator or floor lifting device attached to the stairs, which may be made of steel or the like. The lifting device frame used in bathrooms and bathtubs is made of stainless steel that can withstand rust. Plastic or the like may be used as long as it is made of aluminum or other moderately strong material.

  FIG. 2 is a pantograph-shaped perspective view raising / lowering unit, and 1 is characterized in that a wire or the like is used for the raising / lowering function, and the wire is wound and unwound to move up and down.

  FIG. 2 is a pantograph-shaped perspective view raising / lowering part, and 2 is characterized by raising and lowering by rotating a bolt by a motor.

FIG.
A pantograph-shaped perspective view lifting / lowering unit 1 is a lifting / lowering device having a lifting / lowering function using water, air, a hydraulic cylinder or the like.

  A secret and elastic bag is provided between the upper floor frame and the lower frame of the lifting frame, and the floor frame is lifted and lowered by pressure of air, water, hydraulic pressure or the like.

  The shape of the airtight and stretchable bag is a rectangular tube bellows or the like, and any shape can be used as long as the stretchability is not impaired by a material that can withstand pressure.

  4 in FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an elevating part in which airtight and stretchable bags are provided at two locations between the upper floor frame and the lower frame.

  4 in FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the lifting device.

  FIG. 5 is a side view in which a connecting member is provided on the floor of the floor elevating device and a floor in the bathtub that is interlocked with the floor elevating is provided.

  1 in FIG. 5 is a side view in which a bathtub lifting device is provided in an existing bathtub.

  2 of FIG. 5 is a side view that can obtain an arbitrary height at which an elderly person can sit on the lifting floor.

  3 of FIG. 5 is a side view of the height of the floor where an elderly person can move from the lift floor while sitting on the bathtub inner floor.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the bathtub floor lifting device.

  6 of FIG. 6 is a perspective view in which a bathtub floor elevating device is attached to an existing bathtub.

  6 of FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the floor elevating device at a height where an elderly person of the bathtub floor elevating device sits down and washes the body.

  6 of FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the height of the floor where an elderly person can move to the bathtub floor while sitting.

  The elevating part of the bathtub floor elevating device uses an airtight stretch bag and has an elevating function.

  Air pressure may be used to obtain the airtight stretchability of the bathtub floor lifting device.

  In order to obtain the expansion and contraction of the airtight stretchable bag body of the bathtub floor lifting device, the bag body may be expanded and contracted with tap water using tap water pressure.

  In order to obtain the airtight stretchability of the bathtub floor lifting device and the expansion and contraction of the bag body, hydraulic pressure such as hydraulic oil may be utilized.

  The floor lifting bag body is connected to the floor raising / lowering bag body with a hose, the floor lifting bag body expands to obtain a certain floor height, and the pressure of the floor lifting bag body is inside the bathtub via the hose. There is an advantage that it is possible to move up and down the floor in the bathtub by adding to the bag body.

  By simply installing the floor lifting device in a place where a level difference occurs in the home, one end of barrier-free in the home can be eliminated.
