Description

  The present invention relates to a workbench, and more particularly, to a workbench suitable for use during a round-trip of a doctor or nurse in a medical facility.

  Conventionally, a work table called a round-trip cart has been used in medical facilities such as hospitals. As a general configuration of this round trip cart, there are a structure with a moving means made of casters or the like attached to the lower end, and medical equipment and medical records that are arranged at a predetermined height position of the structure and required for round trips. And a plurality of shelf members under the top plate.

Particularly recently, a chart showing patient information has been stored and updated as an electronic chart. Along with this, a so-called notebook personal computer is attached to a round-trip cart to perform input operations in real time. Tend to be adopted. For this reason, a work table as shown in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

This product is provided with a tray-like slide top so that it can be inserted into and removed from the top supported by the structure. ing.
JP 2005-34607 A

However, there are many cases where electronic medical records and paper medical records are mixed, and it is the actual situation at the actual site, and it is difficult to easily shift to complete electronicization. For this reason, there is a demand for a workbench that can write on paper while opening the computer when sending.

However, in the above structure, since the computer is placed on the top top plate, if a notebook personal computer is installed, it is occupied and cannot be used reliably. Therefore, the area of the top plate is clearly insufficient to install the computer and write notes etc. on the same side, and even if the depth size of the top plate is increased, as long as the notebook personal computer is permanently installed Can not be effective. Although the thing of patent document 1 has provided the tray-shaped slide top plate which can provide a level | step difference and can slide, since this slide top plate is cantilever and intensity | strength falls so that it pulls out, it can endure writing work etc. Strength cannot be expected. Further, there are cases where it is desired to operate the notebook type personal computer by pulling it toward the use edge side, but it is troublesome to slide the notebook type personal computer one by one on the top plate, the resistance is large, and smooth mobility cannot be expected.

An object of the present invention is to provide a new work table that effectively solves these problems.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention takes the following measures.

  In other words, the work table according to the first configuration of the present invention has the second top plate at a different height position with respect to the first top plate supported by the structure, and the effective support range at any slide position. The first top plate is slidably supported so as not to change.

Further, the work table according to the second configuration of the present invention has a second top plate at a different height position with respect to the first top plate supported by the structure, and can be supported at any slide position. In this manner, the first top plate is slidably supported.

Furthermore, the work bench | platform which concerns on the 3rd structure of this invention uses the 2nd top plate in a different height position with respect to the 1st top plate supported by the structure as an upper load in any slide position. The first top plate is slidably supported so as to act.

According to these, a sufficient support load can be applied to any top plate with a simple support structure. For example, an information terminal that is heavy to some extent is placed on the top plate located above, and the top plate located below It is possible to effectively carry out work with various overloads. In addition, since the second top plate is slidable, it is possible to configure an appropriate relative positional relationship according to various operations.

In order to effectively use the upper and lower top plate surfaces, it is effective that the depth of the top plate disposed above is set smaller than the depth of the top plate disposed below.

In this case, in order to improve the use state of the top plate disposed above, the top plate may be relatively slidable between a state in which the top plate is deployed and a state in which the use edges substantially match each other. desirable.

In addition, in order to improve the state of use of the top plate arranged below, it is possible to make a relative slide to a position where the opposite use edges of both the top plates almost coincide with each other in a state where the top plate is deployed. It is desirable that

In order to simplify the mounting structure and to avoid the occurrence of restrictions due to the mounting structure as much as possible, it is preferable to arrange the second top plate above the first top plate.

In order to guide the second top plate simply and accurately, it is effective to slide the second top plate using the side edges forming a pair of the first top plate as a guide.

In this case, it is more convenient for the second top plate to be equal or wider than the first top plate.

In order to simplify the assembly and make it applicable to an existing work table, the inward channel portion, which is a support element for the second top plate, is provided in the front-rear direction on the side edges forming the pair of the first top plates. It is desirable to keep them engaged.

In order to reliably support the second top plate and to obtain a stable state even when the work table moves, the first top plate receives the load of the second top plate on the sliding surface in the vertical direction. It is appropriate to keep it.

In order to further enhance the functions of both top plates, a configuration in which the first top plate is supported by the structure so as to be movable up and down and a configuration in which the structure is supported by the moving means are effective.

Since the worktable of the present invention has the above-described configuration, it can receive a sufficient upper load on any top plate with a simple support structure. For example, information on the top plate located above is heavy to some extent. The terminal can be arranged and used effectively for work involving various overloads on the top plate located below, for example, work for writing while browsing and inputting a notebook personal computer. Moreover, since the second top plate is slidable, it is possible to configure an appropriate relative positional relationship according to various operations, and the information terminal can be moved smoothly. Therefore, particularly when used as a round trip cart or the like, it has a utility value as an excellent aid for round trip that can be effectively used in a site where electronic information and manual information are mixed. Of course, the same effect can be obtained even when applied to other uses such as factories and stores.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The round trip cart A is supported by a caster C as a moving means, and a structure 1 including a base frame 12, support members 13 and 14 extending in the vertical direction, and an intermediate frame 15 is movably provided. The support member 14 has a support column 15 that can be moved up and down by a lift mechanism (not shown), and supports the lower surface of the cart top plate 2 as a first top plate in a fixed state via a bracket (not shown) at the upper end of the support column 15. ing. The intermediate frame 15 is provided with a handle 15a, and the base frame 12, the intermediate frame 15 and the like are provided with shelves 16 for storing vital check tools such as a thermometer and a barcode reader for patient identification. The cart top plate 2 of this embodiment is set to have a slightly larger depth dimension than the conventional cart top plate 2.

  In this embodiment, the cart top plate 2 is slidably supported by an information terminal 3 as a second top plate as shown in FIGS.

  The information terminal base 3 is formed by bending a sheet metal, and includes a face plate portion 31 parallel to the cart top plate 2 and a hanging portion 32 depending from both left and right edges of the face plate portion 31. An inward channel portion 33 having a vertical inner dimension substantially corresponding to the thickness of the cart top plate 2 is provided on the lower end side of the portion 32. A felt (not shown) is attached to the upper piece 33a which is at least the main sliding surface of the inward channel portion 33, and is slid and inserted into the side edge 2a of the cart top plate 2 from the front and rear direction via the felt. . As shown in FIG. 5, a long hole 33 b 1 extending along the depth direction of the cart top plate 2 is provided in the lower piece 33 b of the inward channel portion 33, and this long hole is fitted in the cart top plate 2. The pin 2c is fixed to the lower surface 2b of the cart top plate 2 through 33b1. As a result, the information terminal stand 3 can slide between a position where one end of the long hole 33b1 abuts on the pin 2c and a position where the other end abuts on the pin 2c. The information terminal stand 3 is allowed to slide relative to the cart top plate 2 between the position shown in FIG. 6 and the position shown in FIG. 4 where the counter-use edges 2y and 3y substantially match each other.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the depth dimension d3 of the information terminal stand 3 is set to a half of the depth dimension d2 of the cart top plate 2 or slightly larger than this, and as shown in FIG. The width dimension w3 is substantially equal to or slightly wider than the width dimension of the first top plate. Further, a gap L of at least 30 mm is secured between the information terminal base 3 and the cart top board 2 so that a paper clip T or a file for sending can be accommodated as shown in FIG. A flat storage space S is formed in the part.

  The face plate portion 31 of the information terminal 3 is formed by punching openings 31a and 31b in the center and on the left and right sides, and a state in which the storage space S can be visually confirmed or a finger can be accessed as necessary is secured. Yes. The face plate portion 31 is attached with a fence 34 for preventing information terminals from dropping off along the left and right side edges and the rear edge. The fence 34 has a balustrade-like shape, and the lower opening 34a is provided at a drawing position of a power cable, a communication cable, etc., when an A4 size notebook personal computer P is placed as shown in FIGS. Corresponding, cables can be pulled out from the opening.

  A guard 2z for preventing the articles from dropping is raised on the counter-use edge 2y of the cart top plate 2. The up / down range of the support column 15 in this embodiment is set between the height at which a person with a normal physique can use it in a posture seated on a chair and the height at which work is performed in a standing position, and the operation protruding from the support column 15 The lever 15a can be moved up and down.

  As a mode of use of this work table, with the notebook personal computer P opened on the information terminal table 3, the information terminal table 3 is positioned on the rear slide end shown in FIG. In this mode, the data of the notebook personal computer P is browsed or entered as required, or the elbow is placed on the cart top 2 in this state. A mode in which browsing or input work is performed, and as shown in FIG. 9, the cart top plate 2 is lowered together with the information terminal base 3, and the information terminal base 3 is drawn toward the use edge 2 x side of the cart top board 2 to make a note in a sitting posture. Type personal computer P data browsing or input work, and the information terminal stand 3 from the state of FIG. Manner to draw the x side and manner pushed from the state of FIG. 9 the information terminal board 3 in a counter-use edge 2y side of the cart top plate 2, can be used under various aspects.

As described above, the round trip cart A of the present embodiment is an information terminal stand that is a second top plate at a different height from the cart top plate 2 that is the first top plate supported by the structure 1. 3 so that the effective support range does not change at any slide position and is both-supported at any slide position, so that the cart top plate 2 acts as an overload at any slide position. The plate 2 is slidably supported.

According to these configurations, a sufficient support load can be received not only on the cart top plate 2 but also on the information terminal stand 3 with a simple support structure, so that the information terminal stand 3 positioned above has a certain amount of weight. Even if the computer P is disposed, it can sufficiently be used, and operations involving various overloads can be effectively performed on the cart top plate 2 positioned below. In addition, since the information terminal stand 3 is slidable, an appropriate relative positional relationship with respect to the cart top plate 2 can be configured according to various operations.

In addition, since the laptop personal computer P is not required to have a great depth, the depth dimension d3 of the information terminal stand 3 disposed above is smaller than the depth dimension d2 of the cart top plate 2 disposed below. As a result, the display area of the cart top plate 2 arranged below is sufficiently secured, and at the same time, the polymerization state is set within a range where the gap L between the cart top plate 2 and the information terminal base 3 can be utilized. The top plate area of a certain cart top plate 2 can also be used effectively.

Furthermore, since the information terminal stand 3 is slidable with respect to the cart top plate 2 between a state where the information terminal stand 3 is deployed on the cart top plate 2 and a state in which the use edges 2x and 3x substantially match each other. If the use edges 2x and 3x are drawn to a state where they substantially match each other, it becomes easy to access the notebook personal computer P and perform an input operation or the like. In addition, it is possible to prevent the information terminal base 3 from being pushed forward more than necessary, impairing stability and preventing it from getting in the way.

Alternatively, since the information terminal stand 3 is slidable with respect to the cart top plate 2 to the position where the counter-use edges 2y and 3y substantially coincide with each other in the state of being developed in a platform shape, The display area of the board 2 can be sufficiently secured, which is effective in performing writing work for sending on the cart top board 2. In this case as well, it is possible to prevent the information terminal base 3 from being pushed backward more than necessary to impair the stability and get in the way.

Furthermore, the configuration of the present embodiment allows the information terminal table 3 to slide above the cart top plate 2 instead of placing the slide top plate below the cart top plate and using the cart top plate as an information terminal stand. Therefore, a necessary portion of the lower surface of the cart top plate 2 is supported by the structure 1, and the information terminal stand 3 is not limited by the structure 1 and has a required width dimension 3 w and depth dimension 3 d. The partial area can be effectively secured, and the support is facilitated.

In particular, since the information terminal 3 is slid by using the side edges 2a forming a pair of the cart top plates 2 as a guide, it is not necessary to provide a separate guide mechanism, and a simple but accurate guide function is obtained. be able to.

In this case, since the information terminal stage 3 is equal to or wider than the cart top plate 2, an effective face plate region can be secured in the information terminal stand 3, and the edge 2 a of the cart top plate 2 can be secured. If this is used as a guide, it is possible to adopt such a configuration without difficulty.

Furthermore, since the inward channel part 33 which is a support element of the information terminal stand 3 is engaged with the side edge 2a which makes a pair of the cart top plate 2 from the front-rear direction, it can be attached simply by fitting from the front-rear direction. In addition to simplifying the assembly, the present invention can be configured by easily retrofitting an existing round trip cart.

And since the cart top board 2 receives the load of the information terminal stand 3 with the upper piece 33a which is a sliding surface of an up-down direction, it can be made to support the top load of the information terminal stand 3 on the cart top board 2 reliably. it can. In particular, the work table A of this embodiment is supported by a caster C, which is a moving means, and can be moved. It is possible to easily and reliably avoid the personal computer P from being easily slid to be in an unstable installation state or receiving an impact.

In addition to the above, since the cart top plate 2 is supported by the structure 1 so as to be movable up and down, not only the slide adjustment of the information terminal stand 3 but also the height adjustment of the cart top plate 2 and the information terminal stand 3 -Appropriate usage conditions can be realized according to the purpose and situation.

In particular, in the round trip cart A of this embodiment, the structure 1 is movably supported on the casters C in order to be adapted to the use of round trips. Sufficient support strength is required, and it is necessary to avoid the information terminal table 3 from sliding easily. However, the above configuration can sufficiently satisfy these requirements.

The specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, the above slide mechanism is structurally simple, but does not prevent the slide movement from being realized using the suspension mechanism. In addition, the application target is not limited to round trips in hospitals, but can also be effectively used as a work table for inspection and inventory management in factories and stores.
