Description

  The present invention relates to a transfer device for a sick person or a bedridden elderly person using an electric bed.

  Caring for patients with sickness who are unable to get up on their own or who are difficult to turn over or bedridden elderly people has a heavy physical burden on the caregiver. In particular, when transferring from a wheelchair to a bed, bathing, changing diapers, etc., the caregiver needs to hold the patient and wakes up the work.

  For this reason, as a conventional welfare tool for a bed for a nursing care, a lift for floor traveling, or a column is provided on the top of the bed as shown in FIG. 11 or Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-61906, and a rail is provided thereon. What provided the lift which raises / lowers the hanging tool which mounts a patient on this rail, and is moved is known. In the case of FIG. 10, a fixed lift is provided on the bed, and it is used for transfer to a wheelchair or the like.

  However, such a lift reduces the burden on the caregiver and is convenient, but requires expensive capital investment. In particular, in the case of home care, a large lift device has no place for installation and is expensive, so it is difficult to install.

  Therefore, the penetration rate of lifts in Japan for such home care is extremely low due to housing conditions and habits. In Japan, there are no opportunities to eat on the wheelchair or to breathe in the outside air because there is an electric wake-up on the bed and eating or changing diapers. .

  In Sweden, because there is no electric bed, food is always eaten at the table by a wheelchair, or it is easily put on a wheelchair to let outside air feel the season and change the mood. Such casual acts can lead to the activation of the brain and cardiopulmonary function. Therefore, it seems that there is almost no bedridden state.

  In Japan, care recipients are living mainly in bed, and meals, changing diapers, etc. are taken care of on the bed. As described above, since various functions are provided on the bet, living on the bet is often performed, and the function of the patient is deteriorated.

  Also, when changing diapers and sheets, they are moved and moved to the left and right many times, so if the patient needs to be moved, including moving the mat or body down with a bed, it must be moved or transferred manually. As a result, the physical burden on the caregiver is large and the waist is screaming.

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

  FIG. 1 shows the overall structure of a first embodiment of a bed with a lift as a bet accessory using the power of an electric bed of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows an overall external view of the skeleton of FIG.

  1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an electric bed, and the bed 1 is moved up and down by power on / off by a controller (not shown). Beds that can be lifted and lowered automatically by electric power are widely used as beds for care of patients such as the sick and bedridden elderly people. Reference numeral 2 denotes a torii-like support structure provided so as to straddle the bed, and the structure 2 includes pillar portions 3 and 3 on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the bed, a ceiling plate portion 4, and pillar portions 3 of the support structure 2. 3 is formed from a support member 5 provided in an upper intermediate portion of the head 3. The hanger support member 5 is supported by the pillar portions 3 and 3 via a rotating member, and can slide up and down on the pillar portions 3 and 3.

  FIG. 3 is a partial detailed structural diagram of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, one end is fixed to one side portion 8 of the care bed that can be moved up and down, and two wires 6 and 7 are formed in the column portion 3 or outward along the column portion. The wires 6 and 7 extend in the lateral direction along the ceiling plate 4 via the pulley 10 near the top of the column portion, and hang down by the pulleys 10 and 13 supported by the ceiling plate. The tips of the suspended wires 6 and 7 are fixed to the upper part of the support member 5 slidable on the column part 3 as shown by 11 in FIG. A hanger 15 and a patient hanger 21 are suspended under the support member 5.

  The wires 6, 7 slidably supported on the top plate-like portion of the support structure 2 are pulled or loosened as the bed 1 moves up and down, so that the wobbling support member 5 is supported. The whole patient or part of the patient's body placed on the hanger-like patient suspension 21 suspended on the support member 5 can be moved up and down on the bed. Various types of such patient hanger are known as shown in FIG. In FIG. 12, FIG. 12 (a) is an example of use of the structure of FIG. 12 (b), and FIG. 12 (c) is an example of use of the structure of FIG. 12 (d).

  For example, FIGS. 4 and 5 show an operation example in which a patient is transferred from the bed 1 to the wheelchair 20 (or vice versa).

As shown in FIG. 6, the patient 26 on the bed is placed on the patient suspension 21 and lifted upward by the lowering operation of the electric bed (1 → 1 ′ in FIG. 5 becomes 5 → 5 ′, 26 → 26 ′). The patient hanger 21 is attached to the hanger 15 (FIG. 3), and the hanger 15 and the patient hanger 21 are integrated to form a hanger-like hanger. As shown in 12 of FIG. 3, the hanger 15 is supported in the groove by a pulley so that the upper end of the hanger 15 is slidable in the lower groove of the hanger support member 5 as described above. The hanger-like hanger can be moved by hand in the lateral direction while the hanger is lifted.

  Thus, as shown at 22 in FIG. 4, when the patient is moved from above the bed to above the wheelchair 20 and the electric bed is raised again, the wire is loosened accordingly, and the support member 5 Falls and the patient is lowered onto the wheelchair 20.

  The hanger-like lifting tool may be moved electrically by using a wire connected to the lifting bed. In this case, although not shown, together with a wire that allows the interfering support member 5 to slide up and down as the bed moves up and down, the upper end of the hanger 15 is lifted while the patient is suspended as the bed moves up and down. It has a wire that can be moved by pulling it in the lateral direction of the bed.

  6 and 7 show another embodiment of the present invention. 6 and 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a bed that can be lifted and lowered electrically. Reference numeral 30 denotes a support unit integrated with the bed, and a fulcrum 32 of the first drive member 33 is located near the bed height of the support column 30. is there. As shown in FIG. 7, one end 38 of the first drive member 33 is rotatably fixed to the end of the bed. A second drive member 34 serving as a link is rotatably coupled to the other end 35 of the drive member 33.

  The other end of the second drive member 34 is pivotally coupled to the third drive member 39, and thus the first, second and third drive members form a link mechanism.

  The third drive member 39 is supported so as to be slidable with respect to the support column 30. Thus, when the bed 1 is moved up and down, the one end 38 of the first drive member 33 is moved up and down as the bed is moved up and down, whereby the other end 35 of the drive member is moved in the opposite direction to the one end 38. As a result, the second drive member 34 moves up and down via the link mechanisms 33 and 34, and the third drive member 39 connected thereto moves up and down.

  In addition, in order to absorb the movement of the one end 38 of the driving member 33 accompanying the upper and lower sides of the bed, the driving member is provided with a long hole, and the end 38 moves in the long hole.

  A hanger support member 37 is provided at the distal end 36 of the third drive member 39 so as to extend above the bed. Therefore, when the hanger support member 37 moves up and down, the hanger-like patient is the same as in the first embodiment. If the patient is suspended on the lifting tool 38 and the bed is lowered, the patient can be lifted upward (1 ′ → 1 in FIG. 7 results in 38 ′ → 38).

  Since the hanger support member 37 is rotatable in the horizontal direction, the hanger support member 37 can be moved from the bed to the wheelchair while the patient is suspended, or vice versa.

FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 8, 1 is an electric bed, 40 is a first column fixed to the bed, 41 is also a second column provided with a wire pulley 44 fixed to the bed or column 40, and 48 is a third column. It is a support | pillar and is accommodated in the support | pillar 40 so that sliding is possible. Reference numeral 42 denotes a wire, and one end 43 is fixed to the bed. The other end of the wire 42 is fixed to the support column 48. The structure has a fastener for the wire 42 that can move up and down as indicated by 46 and 47 in the upper groove of the pillar 40, and the fasteners 46 and 47 are fixed to the third pillar 48. ing. Reference numeral 49 denotes a hanger support member provided on the support column 48 and capable of rotating in the horizontal direction. A pulley for hooking the wire is provided at the tip 41 of the second support column. As described above, the wire 42 has the other end fixed to the fastener via the pulley.

  Therefore, when the bed 1 is moved up and down, the wire 42 is moved up and down, and accordingly, the third support column 48 is moved up and down in the support column 40, thereby the hanger support member 49 is also moved up and down, and the patient hanger connected thereto. 48 goes up and down (1 ′ → 1 changes 47 → 46 and 48 ′ → 48).

  Since the hanger support member 49 is rotatable in the horizontal direction, the hanger support member 49 can be moved from the bed to the wheelchair while the patient is suspended, or vice versa.

  FIG. 9 shows an image when the diaper is changed by lifting the leg of the patient 50. FIG. 9 (a) shows a state before lifting, and FIG. 9 (b) shows a state where it is lifted. The hanging tool in this case has a structure in which the hook 51 and the leg 52 are lifted by the two hanging tools 53 and 54 with a time difference. First, the leg is lifted at the knee by the hanger 53, and when the leg rises to some extent, the hanger 54 lifts the collar 51 slightly. This operation greatly reduces the physical burden on the caregiver in changing the patient's diaper.

  As shown in 56, if the lifting tool is set slightly wider than the width of the leg portion, the leg portion opens outward as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 12 shows a known example of the patient suspension tool. FIG. 12B is used as shown in FIG. 12A, and FIG. 12D is used as shown in FIG.

  Conventional overhead traveling lifts, including construction costs, can cost over 1,000,000 yen, with stationary prices ranging from 500,000 to 800,000 yen, and floor traveling lifts from 300,000 to 500,000 yen It is expensive. Since the lift of the present invention is driven by the power of the electric bed currently used, it can be realized at a low price of 100,000 to 150,000 yen.

  In addition, it is possible to reduce the burden of nursing care by using a lift even when putting on a wheelchair from a bed, putting on a portable toilet, and visiting bathing. Especially when changing diapers, it is easy to put the diaper under the waist by suspending the knee, so there is less burden of changing the diaper. In addition, it becomes easy to change sheets, pull up the mat, and the like, which leads to reduction of care in the future. The patient transfer device of the present invention is a very useful device because the cost is low.
