Description

  The present invention relates to a floor state notification device in an electric bed.

  For electric beds for hospitals / facility or home care, adjustable beds can be used to reduce the burden when standing up, improve stability when holding a seat, and reduce the severity of a fall accident. Lowering the minimum height of so-called low floors is progressing. However, there may be a human error in which the floor height of the bed is managed, especially when the assistant raises the floor height during the assistance work and forgets to lower it after the work is completed, so the low-floor bed may not be effectively utilized.

  On the other hand, in an electric bed, the floor may be adjusted to accommodate the patient's posture on the floor in response to the doctor's instructions. Examples include the farler position (half-sitting position), the cardiac position, and the floor extension. (Trenderenberg), reverse extension (Reburstenderenberg) and the like. However, for example, when adjusting the floor according to the farler position, even if the doctor instructs the back angle to be 30 °, 45 °, etc., the nursing staff may set it visually at present. There is a case where the posture is not necessarily instructed by the doctor.

  As a conventional technique for grasping the posture of the bed, that is, the state of the floor such as the floor height and the angles of the back floor and the knee bed, in Patent Document 1, for example, in the angle adjustment function of the back floor and the knee bed, the height of the floor In an electric bed with adjustment functions, floor extension (Trenderenberg), reverse extension (Reburstenderenberg) adjustment function, rolling function, etc., the floor state of the bed can be switched by hand switch or nurse operation panel It is described that a numerical value is displayed on a liquid crystal display unit of the above.

  However, in the method of displaying the floor state on the hand switch etc. by numerical values, it is essential for nursing staff to read the numerical value displayed on the display part of the hand switch etc. when checking the bed state Furthermore, it is impossible to immediately confirm whether or not the floor state corresponding to the displayed numerical value matches the set state.

  For this reason, when the nursing staff patrols the state of the floors of a large number of beds in the assigned area, it is necessary to check the numerical values displayed on the hand switches and the like for each bed, which takes a lot of time. ing.

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, a numerical value display unit for displaying a numerical value corresponding to the state of a bed floor installed in a hospital room is arranged on the outer wall near the entrance of the hospital room or in the nurse center, and is separated from the bed. The conventional technology that enables the floor condition to be monitored at a specific position is described, but in such a conventional technology, the equipment including the wiring connecting each bed and the numerical display unit becomes large. In addition to the high cost, the numerical value displayed on the numerical value display section simply corresponds to the floor condition. Therefore, the floor condition corresponding to this numerical value is determined according to the doctor's instruction or the like. It is not possible to immediately check whether or not it matches the state.

  In addition, as a method for confirming the state of the bed floor at a position away from the bed, for example, regarding the floor height of the bed, whether or not the string is hung from the floor and the tip of the string is grounded to the floor surface or not. There are also facilities that check the floor height. In this method, whether or not the floor height of the bed is low can be visually recognized from a place away from the bed, and therefore, it contributes to some extent in shortening the inspection time.

  However, the bed floor height needs to be checked at night, when the nursing staff becomes weak and the disturbing behavior increases, and the string visibility is low in a dark room. I can't.

  On the other hand, as another method, there is a method in which a scale is provided on the side surface of the bed, and the state of the bed floor is confirmed by the relative position between the scale and the floor. Since it takes a lot of time and effort to set the floor position corresponding to the specific posture indicated by the doctor or to check whether the current floor state matches the set state, There are few facilities that practice this method.

  In the present invention, the drawbacks of the prior art described above are the problems to be solved by the present invention, that is, whether or not the bed floor is in the set state is checked in a dark environment at night. The object of the present invention is also to provide a floor state notification device that can be easily and reliably performed.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the present invention, first, an electric motor having floor operation means capable of changing the floor state, control means for the floor operation means, and operation switch means for instructing change of the floor state. In the type bed, the control means is provided with a floor condition setting means capable of setting the condition of the floor to be notified, and the operation switch means includes an operation switch portion corresponding to each floor condition and its operation. A light-emitting display unit for displaying the state is provided, and the light-emitting display unit is configured so that the light emission color can be switched. When the floor state set by the floor state setting means is shifted, the operation switch unit can be operated. The present invention proposes a floor state notification device in an electric bed that is configured to display light emission by switching from a normal light emission color to another light emission color.

  In the present invention, next, in the electric bed having floor operation means capable of changing the floor state, control means for the floor operation means, and operation switch means for instructing change of the floor state, the control means Includes a floor state setting means capable of setting a floor state to be notified, and the operation switch means includes an operation switch section corresponding to each floor state and a light emitting display section for displaying the operable state. The light emission display unit is configured to be able to switch the light emission pattern, and when the floor state set by the floor state setting means is shifted to, the normal light emission pattern for displaying the operable state of each operation switch unit This proposes a floor state notification device in an electric bed that is configured to display light emission by switching to another light emission pattern.

  In the present invention, next, in the electric bed having floor operation means capable of changing the floor state, control means for the floor operation means, and operation switch means for instructing change of the floor state, the control means Includes a floor state setting means capable of setting a floor state to be notified, and the operation switch means includes an operation switch section corresponding to each floor state and a light emitting display section for displaying the operable state. The light-emitting display unit is configured to be capable of switching between a light emission color and a light emission pattern, and when the floor state set by the floor state setting means is shifted to, a normal operation state for displaying the operational state of each operation switch unit is displayed. The present invention proposes a floor state notification device in an electric bed that is configured to display light emission by switching from the light emission color and light emission pattern to another light emission color and light emission pattern.

  In the present invention, in each of the above-described configurations, the operation switch means is provided with a notification sound generation unit, and the notification sound generation unit is configured to change a normal light emission color or light emission pattern from another light emission color or light emission pattern in the light emission display unit. Proposed is a floor condition notification device in an electric bed that is configured to ring together with switching to a sound.

  Further, the present invention proposes a floor state notification device in an electric bed in which the lowest floor height position is set in the floor state setting means as the floor state to be notified in each of the above configurations.

  In the present invention, a desired floor state to be notified is set in the floor state setting means among the postures that can be taken by the electric bed, that is, the floor state such as the floor height and the angle of the back floor and the knee bed. .

  The floor conditions to be notified include the state where the floor height has reached the lowest position, and the floor condition according to the doctor's instructions in the farler position, cardiac position, floor extension (Trenderenberg), reverse extension (reverse) In the state corresponding to Trendelenburg), the state of the floor that is out of the instructed state, the state of the floor corresponding to the contraindication posture, etc. are exemplified. Can be set to

  Here, when the floor state is not the floor state to be notified, the light emitting display unit of the operation switch unit displays the light emission in the normal light emitting color or light emitting pattern. It can be known that the displayed operation switch sections are operable, and the operation switch sections can be operated as necessary to change the floor state.

  When the floor state is changed by the operation and the state becomes the floor state to be notified, the light emitting display unit displays the light emitting display from a normal light emitting color or light emitting pattern to another light emitting color or light emitting pattern. Since it switches to the light emission pattern, it can be confirmed that the state of the floor has been set in advance to be notified by visually checking the change of the light emission color or the light emission pattern.

  As described above, in the present invention, when confirming the state of the floor to be notified, a confirmation operation such as reading a numerical value displayed on the display unit is unnecessary, so confirmation can be performed instantaneously and reliably regardless of day or night. Can improve the operational efficiency. In this way, for example, it is possible to greatly reduce the working hours for the nursing staff to patrol the state of a large number of beds in the area in charge at night.

  The operation switch means can be configured as a hand switch or a nurse operation panel. For example, the hand switch is an essential element in the electric bed, and the nurse operation panel is also indispensable in the electric bed for hospitals and facilities. Since it is an element, a dedicated display device as shown in Patent Document 2 is not required, so that it does not become large and the cost can be reduced.

  When the operation switch means is provided with a notification sound generation unit, it can be confirmed immediately when the floor state becomes the state of the floor to be notified by the ringing, and the state of the floor to be left is continued. For example, it is possible to reliably prevent the contraindicated state from continuing.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic system diagram showing the configuration of a notification device according to the present invention. FIG. 2 shows an example of a bed using the notification device. The notification device 1 according to the present invention changes the state of the floor 2. An electric bed 6 having a possible floor motion means 3, a control means 4 of the floor motion means 3, and an operation switch means 5 for commanding a change of the floor state is assumed. Such an electric bed is well known and will not be described in detail.

  In the present invention, the control means 4 is provided with a floor state setting means 7 capable of setting the state of the floor 2 to be notified, and the operation switch means 5 has an operation switch portion 8 corresponding to the state of each floor 2. And a light emitting display portion 9 for displaying the operable state. The light emitting display unit 9 is configured so that the light emission color can be switched by the switching means 10.

  Here, if the emission color can be switched, the light emitting display unit 9 uses, for example, a multicolor light emitting LED integrally formed by molding a plurality of LED pellets integrally with a translucent material, It is possible to use a configuration in which LEDs 9g and 9r having different light emission colors are installed adjacent to each other and the LEDs to be lit are switched, or the light emission colors are switched by additive color mixing. In the configuration shown in the figure, the LED 9g is an LED whose emission color is green, and the LED 9r is an LED whose emission color is red. When these LEDs are lit alone, green and red emission colors can be obtained. An emission color is obtained.

  On the other hand, the switching means 10 can be provided with a function of switching the lighting pattern of the light emitting display unit 9 in addition to the function of switching the emission color. The lighting pattern to be switched includes continuous lighting and intermittent lighting, and even in intermittent lighting, the pattern can be changed due to the difference in the cycle.

FIG. 3 shows a first embodiment in which the operation switch means 5 which is a component of the notification device of the present invention is configured as a hand switch as a remote controller.
In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a switch device body. On the front side of the switch device body 11, four pairs of left and right operation buttons 12L and 12R constituting the operation switch unit 8 are installed. The respective operation buttons 12L and 12R are distinguished from each other by adding subscripts a to d from the top to the bottom in the drawing.

  Between the left and right operation buttons 12L and 12R forming a pair, pictograms 13a, 13b, 13c, and 13d that symbolically display the operation of the floor 2 by the corresponding operation buttons 12L and 12R are provided. Above these pictograms 13a, 13b, 13c, and 13d, there are provided light-transmitting window portions 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d that constitute the light-emitting display section 9, and each light-transmitting window portion 14a. , 14b, 14c, and 14d, the LED 9g and the LED 9r that can switch the emission color are provided in the switch body 11. In addition, a translucent window portion 15 as a power supply display portion is provided above the uppermost left operation button 12La, and an LED (not shown) is also provided in the corresponding switch body 11. In addition, these translucent window part 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 15 can also be comprised as LED itself.

  In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes a floor state display unit using a liquid crystal display or LED, and reference numeral 17 denotes a hook for mounting and supporting the switch body 11 on a side rail (not shown). .

  Here, the operation of the floor 2 performed by controlling the floor movement means 3 via the control means 4 by the operation buttons 12L and 12R will be described. The uppermost operation buttons 12La and 12Ra in the figure are the back floor and the knee bed. Are moved up and down in conjunction with each other. Next, the operation buttons 12Lb and 12Rb arranged on the lower side move up and down only the back floor, the lower operation buttons 12Lc and 12Rc move up and down only the knee bed, and then the lower operation button 12Lc. , 12Rc adjusts the bed height by moving the frame supporting the back floor and the knee bed up and down. In each of the operation buttons 12, the left button in the drawing with the subscript L moves the floor down, and the right button in the drawing moves the floor up.

  Since the raising and lowering operation and the mechanism of these floors are well known, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition to the above-described operations for raising and lowering the floor in the electric bed, as described above, the operation of floor extension (Trenderenberg), the reverse extension (Reburstenderenberg), the rolling operation, etc. In the present invention, an operation switch unit corresponding to such a floor raising / lowering operation is provided in the operation switch means, the corresponding floor operation is performed, and the state of the floor to be notified can be set. Of course.

  In the above configuration, in the present invention, the floor state to be notified is set in the floor state setting means 7 as described above. This setting is performed by setting means connected to the control means 4 as necessary. It is also possible to make a setting by using a hand switch that constitutes the operation switch unit 8. In the latter case, the setting unit can be provided on the back side or the side of the switch device body 11 or can be set by a predetermined combination operation of the operation buttons on the front side.

  The control means 4, the floor state setting means 7 and the operation switch means 5 described above can be configured as a microcomputer application apparatus.

  In the above configuration, when the floor state preset in the floor state setting unit 7 is not the floor state to be notified, the light emitting display unit 9 of the corresponding operation switch unit 8 of the operation switch unit 5 is Since the light emission is displayed in the normal light emission color, nursing staff and operators such as patients on the floor can know that the operation switch part that is lighted is operable and can be operated as necessary. And change the floor condition.

  For example, when the lowest floor height position is set in the floor state setting means 7 as the floor state to be notified, the translucent window portion constituting the light emitting display portion 9 of the operation buttons 12Ld and 12Rd corresponding to the floor height. 14d and all of the operation buttons 12L, 12R (subscripts a to d) corresponding to the function capable of moving up and down are transparent window portions 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, which are only normal light emitting colors, for example, green LEDg. Is lit and emits green light, so that the operator can operate the floor operating means 3 by operating the operation buttons 12L and 12R (subscripts a to d) as necessary.

  Here, when the floor height is lowered by the operation of the operation button 12Ld and reaches the lowest position set in the floor state setting means 7, the control means 4 sends a command to the operation switch means 5, and the switching means 10 The light emission display of the corresponding light emission display portion 9, for example, the light emission color of the light transmission window portion 14 d constituting the light emission display portion 9 of the operation buttons 12 Ld and 12 Rd corresponding to the floor height is switched.

  As described above, when the green and red light emitting LEDs g and LEDr are used for each light emitting display section 9, the normally lit green LED g is turned off and the red LEDr is turned on to transmit light. Since the emission color of the window 14d is switched from green to red, it is assumed that the state of the floor should be notified in advance by switching the emission color, that is, by visually checking the emission color after that. Whether it is set or not can be confirmed instantly and reliably regardless of day or night.

  If the red emission color is assigned to other display functions such as the occurrence of a failure, when the green and red emission colors LEDg and LEDr are turned on at the same time, an orange emission color is generated by additive color mixing. As a result, the orange luminescent color can be used as the luminescent color when the floor condition is set in advance to be notified.

  In the above description, the light emission display in the light emission display unit 9 is switched only for the light emission color. However, instead of switching the light emission color, the light emission pattern may be switched, or the light emission color and the light emission pattern may be switched. A function can be added to the switching means so as to switch between the two.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment in which the operation switch means 5 which is a component of the notification device of the present invention is configured as a hand switch as a remote controller. In the second embodiment, the configuration of the light-emitting display unit 9 is different from that of the first embodiment, and the other components are the same as those of the first embodiment, so the same reference numerals are given. Detailed description will be omitted.

  In the second embodiment, instead of the respective transparent window portions 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d in the first embodiment, as shown by a broken line frame in FIG. The portions 13a, 13b, 13c, and 13d are configured as light-transmitting window portions 18a, 18b, 18c, and 18d, and light emission colors are generated in the switch body 11 corresponding to the respective light-transmitting window portions 18a, 18b, 18c, and 18d. The switchable LED 9g and LED 9r are provided.

  In the second embodiment, the translucent windows 18a, 18b, 18c, and 18d provided at the locations of the pictograms 13a, 13b, 13c, and 13d that symbolically display the operation of the floor 2 are connected to the light emitting display unit 9. Therefore, the association between the operation of the floor 2 and the light emission display can be made better.

  In addition to the first and second embodiments described above, in the present invention, the operation switch means 5 is provided with a notification sound generation unit (not shown), and this notification sound generation unit is used to switch the light emission display in the light emission display unit 9. It can be set as the structure which rings in conjunction with.

  In this way, when the operation switch means 5 is provided with the notification sound generating unit, the ringing state can immediately confirm the state of the floor when it becomes the state of the floor to be notified. It is possible to reliably prevent the state of the power floor from continuing, for example, from continuing the contraindicated state. In addition, when the floor state becomes the floor state to be notified, the sound is stopped and the floor operation is stopped, and as a confirmation means, the light emission display in the light emission display unit 9 is switched to perform red display or the like. You may do it.

  Next, a specific example of the control flow of the notification operation in the notification device of the present invention will be described.

First, FIG. 5 shows the flow of operation when setting the lowest position of the bed floor height as the floor state to be notified.
First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the notification function is ON. If the notification function is ON, the process proceeds to step S2 and the floor state setting means 7 receives the lowest floor height position ( HLmin) is set to 280 mm, and if it is not ON, the process proceeds to step S3, and 250 mm is set as the lowest floor height position (HLmin) in the floor condition setting means 7. In addition, the notification function is provided with a sensor that measures the load applied to the bed, detects the patient's movement (rising up, sitting on the edge, getting out of bed, wrinkles, etc.) by changing the load, and transmits such as nurse call or radio This means that the medical / nursing / nursing staff is informed that the patient has performed a risky motion.

  Thus, the control means 4 monitors the state of the floor 2 in step S4, and determines whether or not the current floor height (HL) is the lowest position (HLmin) set in the floor state setting means 7.

  When it is determined that the current floor height (HL) is not the lowest position (HLmin) set in the floor condition setting means 7, the process proceeds to step S5, and only the green LEDg is lit on the light emitting display unit 9. Thus, the emission color is maintained at green, which is a normal emission color for displaying the operable state of the operation switch unit 8.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the current floor height (HL) is the lowest position (HLmin) set in the floor condition setting means 7, the process proceeds to step S6, and the light emitting display unit 9 changes to the green LEDg. In addition, the red LEDr is turned on, and its emission color becomes orange by additive color mixing. Therefore, by visually recognizing the switching of the emission color, it can be confirmed that the current floor height (HL) is the lowest position (HLmin) set in the floor condition setting means 7.

  Next, FIG. 6 shows the floor state to be notified to the floor state setting means 7 by operating the memory setting function provided in the operation switch means 5 for each of the floor lifting operations that can be operated by the operation switch means 5. The flow of the operation when the notification is given to the light emitting display unit 9 corresponding to each operation switch unit 8 is set in each provided memory.

  First, in step S11, an operation for setting the memory, that is, whether the memory setting function is ON or OFF is determined. If OFF, the process proceeds to step S13, and the light emitting display unit 9 displays the green LED g. Only the light is turned on, and the light emission color is maintained in green, which is a normal light emission color for displaying the operable state of the operation switch unit 8.

  If it is determined in step S11 that the memory setting function is ON, the process proceeds to step S12, and the operation switch means 5 sets the memory. The floor states set in the memory by this memory setting function are floor target values (aa), (bb), (cc, dd),... As shown in the figure.

  In this way, the control means 4 monitors the state of the floor 2 in step S14, and determines whether or not it is equal to each set value set in the memory of the floor condition setting means 7.

  When it is determined that each of the ascending and descending operations is not equal to the set value, the process proceeds to step S13, and the normal emission color is maintained to be green, and when it is determined that it is equal to the set value, the step is performed. In step S15, the red light LEDr is turned on in addition to the green LEDg in the light emitting display unit 9, and the light emission color becomes orange by additive color mixing. Therefore, by visually recognizing the change of the luminescent color, it can be confirmed that the state of the floor has reached the state set as the target value for each lifting operation.

  Next, FIG. 7 shows the floor state setting means 7 by operating the contraindication posture setting function provided in the operation switch means 5 for the floor raising / lowering operation that can be operated by the operation switch means 5. The flow of the operation in the case where the information is set in the respective memories and the light emitting display section 9 corresponding to the respective operation switch section 8 is notified is shown.

  First, in step S21, an operation for setting the memory, that is, whether the contraindication posture setting function is ON or OFF is determined. If OFF, the process proceeds to step S23, and the light emitting display unit 9 displays the green color. Only the LEDg is lit, and its emission color is maintained in green, which is a normal emission color that displays the operable state of the operation switch unit 8.

  If it is determined in step S21 that the contraindicated posture setting function is ON, the process proceeds to step S22 and the operation switch means 5 sets the memory. The values set in each memory by the contraindication posture setting function are floor ranges (ff to gg), (hh to ii), (jj to kk),...

  In this way, the control means 4 monitors the state of each floor 2 in step S24, and determines whether or not it is equal to each set value set in the memory of the floor condition setting means 7.

  When it is determined that each of the ascending and descending operations is equal to the set value, that is, when it is determined that the posture is not contraindicated, the process proceeds to step S23, and the normal emission color is maintained as green and the setting is performed. If it is determined that it is not equal to the value, that is, if it is determined that the posture is contraindicated, the process proceeds from step S24 to step S25, and the red LEDr is turned on in the light emitting display unit 9 instead of the green LEDg. It is. In general, the red display is inferred from the meaning of prohibition of walking in traffic signals, and thus the transition to a contraindicated posture can be confirmed well. Of course, as described above, the emission color may be orange.

  In the above description of the embodiment, the operation switch means 5 is configured as a hand switch, but in addition, it can also be configured as a nurse operation panel installed in an electric bed for hospitals or facilities. The hand switch is an essential element in the electric bed, and the nurse operation panel is also an essential element in the electric bed for hospitals and facilities. Such a dedicated display device is not required, and therefore, it is not large-scale and can be configured at a low cost.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is needless to say that an allowable error range can be set in the coincidence determination in steps S4, S14, and S24.
