Description

本発明は、介護老人や病人、その他の入浴者（以下入浴者という）の直接入浴および搬送車入浴に供される入浴装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a bathing apparatus used for direct bathing and bathing of a transport car by elderly caregivers, sick persons, and other bathers (hereinafter referred to as bathers).

従来から、入浴者が搬送車の座部に座った状態で入浴する搬送車入浴と、入浴者が搬送車を用いることなく入浴する直接入浴とを可能にする入浴装置が知られている(例えば特許文献１参照)。 Conventionally, a bathing device that enables bathing in a transport vehicle where the bather sits on a seat of the transport vehicle and direct bathing where the bather bathes without using the transport vehicle is known (for example, (See Patent Document 1).

この種の入浴装置として、搬送車と、浴槽とを備え、搬送車は、台車部とこれに分離可能な搭載部とを備え、浴槽は、浴槽下部の外側面から側方に突出して台車部を浴槽に固定する台車固定部と、浴槽内へ入浴者を移動するための移動機構と、を備えるものがある(例えば特許文献２参照)。 As this type of bathing apparatus, a transport vehicle and a bathtub are provided. The transport vehicle includes a carriage part and a mounting part separable into the carriage part. The bathtub protrudes laterally from the outer surface of the lower part of the bathtub and the carriage part. There is a thing provided with a cart fixed part which fixes a bath to a bathtub, and a movement mechanism for moving a bather into a bathtub (for example, refer to patent documents 2).

また、搬送車入浴のため、浴槽両側の縁に跨って載置された長尺状のレール部材を備えた従来の他の入浴装置が知られている(例えば非特許文献１参照)。この入浴装置では、レール部材と台車部とが連結されて、搭載部が台車部上から浴槽上に移動案内される。 Further, another conventional bathing apparatus including a long rail member placed across the edges on both sides of the bathtub for bathing the transport vehicle is known (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). In this bathing apparatus, the rail member and the carriage part are connected, and the mounting part is guided to move from the carriage part onto the bathtub.

株式会社いうらリフト付シャワーキャリーＬＳ−３００（ｈｔｔｐ://ｗｗｗ.ｉｕｒａ.ｃｏ.ｊｐ/ｐｄｆ/ＬＳ-３００.ｐｄｆ）Samurai Co., Ltd. Shower carry with lift LS-300 (http://www.iura.co.jp/pdf/LS-300.pdf)

このような入浴装置において、搬送車入浴を行う場合、搬送車を浴槽に横付けし、台車部から搭載部をレールに沿って浴槽上に移動させたうえで、搭載部を浴槽の移動機構により浴槽内へ下降させて入浴する。搬送車から浴槽内の移動機構上への搭載部の乗せ換えが終了するまでは、台車固定部で台車部を浴槽に連結固定しておく。 In such a bathing apparatus, when bathing a transport vehicle, the transport vehicle is placed on the bathtub, the mounting portion is moved from the carriage along the rail onto the bathtub, and the mounting portion is moved by the bathtub moving mechanism. Lower the bath and take a bath. Until the transfer of the mounting part from the transport vehicle onto the moving mechanism in the bathtub is completed, the carriage part is connected and fixed to the bathtub by the carriage fixing part.

しかし、従来の入浴装置では、台車固定部が、上記のように浴槽下部の外側面から側方に突出しているため、次のような課題があった。すなわち、入浴者が直接入浴する際、台車固定部が、この入浴者の入浴動作、例えば浴槽縁への着座または跨ぎ動作等の邪魔となる。 However, in the conventional bathing apparatus, since the cart fixing part protrudes laterally from the outer surface of the lower part of the bathtub as described above, there are the following problems. That is, when the bather takes a bath directly, the cart fixing portion obstructs the bather's bathing operation, for example, sitting on the edge of the bath or straddling operation.

また、従来の他の入浴装置では、台車部とレール部材とが適切に連結されなくて、搭載部が台車部上からレール部材上へ移動される際、搭載部が不安定となる虞があった。また、レール部材ごと浴槽内に搭載部を下降させることができず、レール部材によって搭載部と入浴者を支持しながら昇降動作を行わせなければならない。この場合、搭載部の昇降動作によりレール部材から搭載部と入浴者の重心位置が離れるほど、レール部材に作用するモーメントが大きくなるので、レール部材はこのモーメントに耐え得るだけの強度が必要となる。そのため、レール部材が大型化し、機械的印象が強調されるという不都合がある。 Further, in other conventional bathing apparatuses, the carriage unit and the rail member are not properly connected, and the mounting unit may become unstable when the mounting unit is moved from the carriage unit onto the rail member. It was. Moreover, the mounting part cannot be lowered into the bathtub together with the rail member, and the lifting and lowering operation must be performed while supporting the mounting part and the bather by the rail member. In this case, since the moment acting on the rail member increases as the mounting portion and the center of gravity of the bather move away from the rail member due to the lifting and lowering operation of the mounting portion, the rail member needs to be strong enough to withstand this moment. . Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the rail member is enlarged and the mechanical impression is emphasized.

本発明は、上述の課題を解決するためになされたものであり、台車固定部が直接入浴する入浴者や入浴介助者の邪魔にならずに済み、入浴装置全体の機械的印象を和らげて家庭的な浴槽の印象を与えられ、搭載部を安定して移動させることができる入浴装置を提供することを目的としている。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and the cart fixing part does not interfere with bathers and bathing assistants who take a bath directly, and the mechanical impression of the bathing apparatus as a whole is eased. An object of the present invention is to provide a bathing apparatus that gives a typical bathtub impression and can stably move the mounting portion.

上述の課題を解決するため、本発明に係る入浴装置は、浴槽と、前記浴槽に付設され該浴槽内で入浴者を移動する移動機構と、台車部とこの台車部から分離可能な搭載部とを有した搬送車と、前記移動機構と前記台車部との間で前記搭載部を往復移動可能にする受け渡し部材と、前記搭載部が前記台車部と前記浴槽との間を往復移動する際に前記台車部を前記浴槽に連結固定する台車固定部と、を具備した入浴装置であって、前記台車固定部が、前記浴槽の側壁上端部から外側面上方の所定の範囲内に設けられ、前記受け渡し部材は、前記移動機構に設けられる第一の受け渡し部材と、前記台車部に設けられる第二の受け渡し部材と、前記台車固定部に設けられる第三の受け渡し部材とから構成されていることを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above-described problems, a bathing apparatus according to the present invention includes a bathtub, a moving mechanism attached to the bathtub and moving a bather in the bathtub, a carriage part, and a mounting part separable from the carriage part. A transfer vehicle that has a carriage, a transfer member that allows the mounting portion to reciprocate between the moving mechanism and the cart portion, and the mounting portion reciprocates between the cart portion and the bathtub. A trolley fixing part for connecting and fixing the trolley part to the bathtub, wherein the trolley fixing part is provided in a predetermined range above the outer surface from the upper end of the side wall of the bathtub, The delivery member is composed of a first delivery member provided in the moving mechanism, a second delivery member provided in the carriage part, and a third delivery member provided in the carriage fixing part.

Since the corner portion of the engaging end portion 15b has an R shape, there is no risk of injury even if the engaging end portion 15b contacts the body of the bather or bathing assistant. In addition, the engagement end portion 15b can be smoothly fitted into the groove portion 5c.

図３に示すように、台車固定部５は、前後方向両側に左右方向において平行な一対の段差部分５ｄをレール部分として有する。この一対の段差部分５ｄの対向間隔は載置部７が備える前記一対のレール部分７ａの対向間隔に対応している。台車固定部５は、段差部分５ｄをレール部分として具備することで、浴槽２側と搬送車３側との間で搭載部１０を受け渡す第三の受け渡し部材を構成する。 As shown in FIG. 3, the carriage fixing portion 5 has a pair of step portions 5 d parallel to each other in the left-right direction on both sides in the front-rear direction as rail portions. The spacing between the pair of stepped portions 5d corresponds to the spacing between the pair of rail portions 7a included in the mounting portion 7. The cart fixing portion 5 includes a step portion 5d as a rail portion, thereby constituting a third delivery member that delivers the mounting portion 10 between the bathtub 2 side and the transport vehicle 3 side.

台車固定部５には、台車部９が台車固定部５により浴槽２に連結固定されているとき以外は、移動機構６上での搭載部１０の左右方向の移動を阻止する第一の移動阻止機構部１７が設けられている。 A first movement blocker that prevents the mounting unit 10 from moving in the left-right direction on the moving mechanism 6 except when the carriage unit 9 is connected and fixed to the bathtub 2 by the carriage fixing unit 5. A mechanism unit 17 is provided.

図６Ａ、図６Ｂに示すように、第一の移動阻止機構部１７は、台車固定部５から上端部が突出退避可能なロック部材１７ａと、このロック部材１７ａの下端側と一体で他端側が軸１７ｄで軸支されているロック解除部材１７ｂ(ロック部材１７ａとは一体物)と、これらを時計回り方向(ロック方向)に付勢するバネ部材１７ｃとを備え、ロック解除部材１７ｂは、台車固定部５の溝部分５ｃに形成された貫通穴５ｅから突出または退避可能であり、ロック部材１７ａは台車固定部５の本体部分５ｂに形成された貫通穴５ｆから突出または退避可能である。 As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the first movement prevention mechanism 17 includes a lock member 17a whose upper end protrudes and retracts from the carriage fixing portion 5, and a lower end of the lock member 17a that is integral with the other end. An unlocking member 17b supported by a shaft 17d (integrated with the locking member 17a) and a spring member 17c for urging them in a clockwise direction (locking direction) are provided. The lock member 17a can be protruded or retracted from the through hole 5f formed in the main body portion 5b of the carriage fixing portion 5, and can be protruded or retracted from the through hole 5e formed in the groove portion 5c of the fixing portion 5.

ロック部材１７ａは、係合部材１５の係合用端部１５ｂが台車固定部５の溝部分５ｃに入り込んでいない時は、バネ部材１７ｃの付勢で台車固定部５から突出し、ロック解除部材１７ｂは、溝部分５ｃから突出している。この突出状態で、第一の移動阻止機構部１７は、搬送車３側と浴槽２側との間での搭載部１０の移動を阻止する。 When the engaging end 15b of the engaging member 15 does not enter the groove portion 5c of the cart fixing portion 5, the lock member 17a protrudes from the cart fixing portion 5 by the bias of the spring member 17c, and the lock releasing member 17b is , Protruding from the groove portion 5c. In this protruding state, the first movement prevention mechanism 17 prevents the movement of the mounting part 10 between the transport vehicle 3 side and the bathtub 2 side.

係合部材１５の係合用端部１５ｂが台車固定部５の溝部分５ｃに入り込むと、ロック解除部材１７ｂがバネ部材１７ｃの付勢に抗して押されて反時計回り方向に回動し溝部分５ｃ内に退避し、これと共にロック部材１７ａは台車固定部５内に退避する。その結果、第一の移動阻止機構部１７は、搬送車３側と浴槽２側との間での搭載部１０の移動を許容する。 When the engagement end portion 15b of the engagement member 15 enters the groove portion 5c of the carriage fixing portion 5, the lock release member 17b is pushed against the urging force of the spring member 17c, and rotates counterclockwise. The lock member 17a is retracted into the carriage fixing portion 5 together with retreating into the portion 5c. As a result, the first movement prevention mechanism unit 17 allows the mounting unit 10 to move between the transport vehicle 3 side and the bathtub 2 side.

搬送車３の台車部９には、第二の移動阻止機構部１８が設けられている。第二の移動阻止機構部１８は、当該台車部９が台車固定部５により浴槽２に連結固定されている時以外は、台車部９上での搭載部１０の移動を阻止(ロック状態)する。 The cart unit 9 of the transport vehicle 3 is provided with a second movement blocking mechanism unit 18. The second movement blocking mechanism section 18 blocks (locks) the movement of the mounting section 10 on the carriage section 9 except when the carriage section 9 is connected and fixed to the bathtub 2 by the carriage fixing section 5. .

第二の移動阻止機構部１８は、係合部材１５に設けられた軸１８ｃの周りに一体回転可能なロック解除部材１８ａと、これと一体のロック部材１８ｂとを具備し、これらはバネ部材１８ｄ（付勢部材）で反時計回り方向に付勢されている。ロック部材１８ｂは、バネ部材１８ｄの付勢で搭載部１０下面上に突出し該下面側の係合部１０ｄ（第一の係合部分）に係合すると、搭載部１０はロック部材１８ｂにより台車部９上で移動することを阻止(ロック)され、台車部９上から脱落することを防止される。 The second movement blocking mechanism 18 includes a lock release member 18a that can rotate integrally around a shaft 18c provided on the engagement member 15, and a lock member 18b that is integral with the lock release member 18b. The urging member is urged counterclockwise. When the locking member 18b protrudes on the lower surface of the mounting portion 10 by the bias of the spring member 18d and engages with the engaging portion 10d (first engaging portion) on the lower surface side, the mounting portion 10 is moved by the locking member 18b to the carriage portion. It is blocked (locked) from moving on 9, and is prevented from falling off the carriage unit 9.

また、第二の移動阻止機構部１８は、図７に示すように、入浴者が片手で同時にこれら第二の移動阻止機構部１８を操作できない間隔で係合部材１５の幅方向に沿って複数（図７では２つ）設けられている。これにより、次の効果が得られる。すなわち、台車部９が斜め方向から誤って浴槽２に連結された場合、両第二の移動阻止機構部１８、１８は、時間的に前後して台車固定部５への係合を開始する。そのため、斜め連結を終えた状況では、先に台車固定部５への連結を開始した第二の移動阻止機構部１８は上述したロック解除を行ってしまう可能性があるものの、後から台車固定部５への連結を開始した第二の移動阻止機構部１８は、上述したロック解除が行われない。これにより、台車部９の斜め連結時における第二の移動阻止機構部１８のロック誤解除が防止される。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of second movement prevention mechanisms 18 are provided along the width direction of the engagement member 15 at intervals at which the bather cannot simultaneously operate the second movement prevention mechanisms 18 with one hand. (Two in FIG. 7) are provided. Thereby, the following effect is acquired. That is, when the cart unit 9 is erroneously coupled to the bathtub 2 from an oblique direction, both the second movement prevention mechanism units 18 and 18 start to engage with the cart fixing unit 5 before and after time. Therefore, in the situation where the diagonal connection is finished, the second movement prevention mechanism unit 18 that has started the connection to the cart fixing unit 5 may perform the above-described unlocking, but the cart fixing unit later. The second movement prevention mechanism unit 18 that has started the connection to 5 is not unlocked as described above. This prevents erroneous unlocking of the second movement blocking mechanism 18 when the cart unit 9 is obliquely connected.

また、第二の移動阻止機構部１８は上記のように設けられているので、浴槽２に連結されていない場合に、入浴者の誤使用により、同時に全ての第二の移動阻止機構部１８、１８をロック解除されることが阻止され、台車部９上から搭載部１０が脱落することが防止される。 In addition, since the second movement prevention mechanism 18 is provided as described above, when not connected to the bathtub 2, all the second movement prevention mechanisms 18, at the same time, due to misuse by the bather, 18 is prevented from being unlocked, and the mounting portion 10 is prevented from falling off the carriage unit 9.

台車部９が浴槽２方向に押されると、台車部９側面から突出する係合部材１５の係合用端部１５ｂはバネ部材の付勢に抗して台車固定部５の傾斜部分５ａ上を昇っていって、台車固定部５の溝部分５ｃにバネ部材の付勢で入り込む。係合用端部１５ｂが溝部分５ｃに入ると台車部９は台車固定部５に連結固定され、第一の移動阻止機構部１７は搬送車３側から浴槽２側への搭載部１０の移動を許容すると共に、第二の移動阻止機構部１８のロック部材１８ｂが台車部９内に退避するので、第一の移動阻止機構部１７と第二の移動阻止機構部１８が共にロック解除状態となって搭載部１０は台車部９上から浴槽２側への移動が許容(ロック解除)される。 When the carriage 9 is pushed in the bathtub 2 direction, the engagement end 15b of the engagement member 15 protruding from the side of the carriage 9 rises on the inclined portion 5a of the carriage fixing part 5 against the bias of the spring member. Therefore, it enters the groove portion 5c of the carriage fixing portion 5 by the bias of the spring member. When the engagement end portion 15b enters the groove portion 5c, the carriage portion 9 is connected and fixed to the carriage fixing portion 5, and the first movement prevention mechanism portion 17 moves the mounting portion 10 from the transport vehicle 3 side to the bathtub 2 side. While permitting, since the lock member 18b of the second movement blocking mechanism 18 is retracted into the carriage 9, the first movement blocking mechanism 17 and the second movement blocking mechanism 18 are both unlocked. The mounting part 10 is allowed to move (unlock) from the top of the carriage part 9 to the bathtub 2 side.

図８に示すように、台車部９は、搬送車３側と浴槽２側との間で搭載部１０を受け渡すための第二の受け渡し部材として、左右方向平行に対向する一対のレール部材９ａを備える。この一対のレール部材９ａの前後方向の対向間隔は、前記した第一、第三の受け渡し部材である載置部７の一対のレール部材７ａ、台車固定部５の一対の段差部分(レール部)５ｄそれぞれの対向間隔に対応している。 As shown in FIG. 8, the carriage unit 9 is a pair of rail members 9 a facing in parallel in the left-right direction as a second delivery member for delivering the mounting unit 10 between the transport vehicle 3 side and the bathtub 2 side. Is provided. The distance between the pair of rail members 9a in the front-rear direction is such that the pair of rail members 7a of the mounting portion 7 serving as the first and third delivery members described above and the pair of step portions (rail portions) of the carriage fixing portion 5 This corresponds to the facing distance of 5d.

第一ないし第三の受け渡し部材により、搬送車３側と浴槽２側との間で搭載部１０の受け渡しが可能で搭載部１０は台車部９と移動機構６との間を安全に往復移動することができる。 The first to third transfer members can transfer the mounting portion 10 between the transport vehicle 3 side and the bathtub 2 side, and the mounting portion 10 can safely reciprocate between the carriage portion 9 and the moving mechanism 6. be able to.

台車固定部５と第一の移動阻止機構部１７は、平面視で左右方向において対称に形成されており、これにより、図９Ａ、図９Ｂを参照して後述するように浴槽２の左右側壁のいずれにおいても、台車固定部５を浴槽２に取着できる。 The cart fixing portion 5 and the first movement prevention mechanism portion 17 are formed symmetrically in the left-right direction in plan view, and thereby, as will be described later with reference to FIGS. 9A and 9B, In any case, the cart fixing part 5 can be attached to the bathtub 2.

図５に示すように、台車固定部５の溝部分５ｃは、前後方向に直線状の第一の溝部分５ｃ１と、第一の溝部分５ｃ１の前後方向両側のＲ状の第二の溝部分５ｃ２とからなる。また、台車部９の係合部材１５の係合用端部１５ｂは、第一の溝部分５ｃ１に対応する直線状の第一の係合用端部１５ｂ１と、第二の溝部分５ｃ２に対応してＲ状で第一の係合用端部１５ｂ１両側の第二の係合用端部１５ｂ２とからなる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the groove portion 5c of the carriage fixing portion 5 includes a first groove portion 5c1 that is linear in the front-rear direction and R-shaped second groove portions on both sides in the front-rear direction of the first groove portion 5c1. 5c2. The engagement end 15b of the engagement member 15 of the carriage 9 corresponds to the linear first engagement end 15b1 corresponding to the first groove portion 5c1 and the second groove portion 5c2. It consists of a second engagement end portion 15b2 on both sides of the first engagement end portion 15b1.

第一の溝部分５ｃ１と第一の係合用端部１５ｂ１は共に直線状であるので、第一の溝部分５ｃ１に第一の係合用端部１５ｂ１が係合すると、搬送車３は、浴槽２の外側面に平行に位置決めされる。 Since the first groove portion 5c1 and the first engagement end portion 15b1 are both linear, when the first engagement end portion 15b1 is engaged with the first groove portion 5c1, the transport vehicle 3 moves to the bathtub 2. Positioned parallel to the outer surface of the.

つまり、台車固定部５と台車部９の係合部材１５は、入浴のため浴槽２へ搭載部１０を移動させる際に、浴槽２に対して搬送車３を特定の位置に位置決めする位置決め手段を構成する。 That is, the engagement member 15 of the carriage fixing portion 5 and the carriage portion 9 is provided with positioning means for positioning the transport vehicle 3 at a specific position with respect to the bathtub 2 when the mounting portion 10 is moved to the bathtub 2 for bathing. Configure.

この位置決め手段により、浴槽２に対して搬送車３は前記特定の位置に位置決めされる。この特定の位置は、搬送車３の台車部９を浴槽２に連結固定する位置である。 By this positioning means, the transport vehicle 3 is positioned at the specific position with respect to the bathtub 2. This specific position is a position where the carriage unit 9 of the transport vehicle 3 is connected and fixed to the bathtub 2.

上記位置決め手段は、搬送車３の台車部９と浴槽２との連結位置を位置決めしてこれらを連結固定することができ、前記特定の位置で浴槽２に台車部９を固定可能とする連結機構を構成する。 The positioning means can position the connection position between the carriage unit 9 of the transport vehicle 3 and the bathtub 2 to connect and fix them, and the connection mechanism can fix the carriage unit 9 to the bathtub 2 at the specific position. Configure.

ここで、図９Ａに示すように、台車部９は、搭載部１０の中央断面Ｃ１（本実施例では平面視で搭載部１０に搭載した入浴者の正中面に一致）と浴室床面とに垂直な面を基準面９ｃ１として、または、前記特定の位置に位置決めされた状態で、浴槽２の側壁の一端に近接する台車部９の一端を通る垂線を基準線９ｃ２として対称に形成されている。 Here, as shown to FIG. 9A, the trolley | bogie part 9 is in the center cross section C1 (this example corresponds to the midline surface of the bather mounted on the mounting part 10 by planar view) of the mounting part 10, and a bathroom floor surface. A vertical plane is defined as a reference plane 9c1, or a perpendicular line passing through one end of the carriage 9 adjacent to one end of the side wall of the bathtub 2 in a state of being positioned at the specific position as a reference line 9c2. .

そのため、台車固定部５が浴槽２の左右どちらの側壁の一端に設けられても、前記位置決め手段を組み替える必要なく、操作ペダル１４を組み替えるのみの軽微な作業で、浴槽２の台車固定部５に搬送車３の台車部９を位置決めして連結固定することができる。 Therefore, even if the cart fixing part 5 is provided at one of the left and right side walls of the bathtub 2, it is not necessary to change the positioning means, and only a minor work of changing the operation pedal 14 can be performed on the cart fixing part 5 of the bathtub 2. The carriage unit 9 of the transport vehicle 3 can be positioned and connected and fixed.

その結果、前記位置決めのための各種の煩わしい位置調整作業が不要となるうえ、右仕様、左仕様といった機種の入浴装置を個々に製造販売する手間がなくなり、安価な入浴装置を提供することができる。また、１つの機種の入浴装置で多様な浴室内レイアウトに対応することができる。 As a result, various troublesome position adjustment operations for positioning are not required, and there is no need to individually manufacture and sell bathing apparatuses of the right specification and left specifications, so that an inexpensive bathing apparatus can be provided. . In addition, one type of bathing device can support various layouts in the bathroom.

この場合、前記基準線９ｃ２は、搭載部１０が浴槽２内に前記第一ないし第三の受け渡し部材により、直線軌道に沿って移動される方向と平行である。また、搭載部１０は、その中心線Ｃ２（平面視で搭載部１０に搭載した入浴者の正中線に一致）が基準線９ｃ２に対して垂直となるように台車部９に載置される。これにより、搭載部１０を回転させて浴槽２内に移動させる回転式の構成と比較して、台車部９を浴槽２の左右どちらからでも台車部９上と浴槽２内で同一の直線軌道に沿って最短距離で搭載部１０を移動でき、移動介助負担が軽減できる。 In this case, the reference line 9c2 is parallel to the direction in which the mounting portion 10 is moved in the bathtub 2 along the linear track by the first to third delivery members. Moreover, the mounting part 10 is mounted on the cart part 9 so that the center line C2 (which coincides with the midline of the bather mounted on the mounting part 10 in plan view) is perpendicular to the reference line 9c2. Thereby, compared with the rotary structure which rotates the mounting part 10 and moves in the bathtub 2, the cart part 9 is made into the same linear track on the cart part 9 and the bathtub 2 from either the right or left of the bathtub 2. The mounting part 10 can be moved along the shortest distance along, and the movement assistance burden can be reduced.

また、浴槽２内に入浴者を移動させる方向のまま、浴槽２の左右どちらからでも搭載部１０を方向転換することなく、浴槽２内に移動でき、搭載部１０の移動時の入浴者の恐怖感を軽減できる。 Moreover, it can move in the bathtub 2 without changing the direction of the mounting part 10 from either the left or right of the bathtub 2 in the direction in which the bather is moved in the bathtub 2, and the fear of the bather when the mounting part 10 moves. The feeling can be reduced.

また、台車部９を浴槽２に固定しない機種の入浴装置と比較して、台車部９が浴槽２に確実に位置決めされて前記連結機構で連結固定されるので、搭載部１０を往復移動する途中で台車部９が不用意に動いて搭載部１０が台車部９や浴槽２から転落する事故を防止することができる。 Further, compared to a bathing device of a model in which the carriage unit 9 is not fixed to the bathtub 2, the carriage unit 9 is reliably positioned on the bathtub 2 and is connected and fixed by the connecting mechanism. Thus, it is possible to prevent an accident in which the carriage unit 9 moves carelessly and the mounting unit 10 falls from the carriage unit 9 or the bathtub 2.

台車部９は、台車部９の前後方向において平行に対向する一対の第一のフレーム部材１１ａと、台車部９の左右方向において平行に対向する一対の第二のフレーム部材１１ｂと、第一のフレーム部材１１ａの前後方向端部それぞれの車輪１２と、第二のフレーム部材１１ｂ上のレール部材９ａ(第二の受け渡し部材)とを備えている。 The cart unit 9 includes a pair of first frame members 11 a that face in parallel in the front-rear direction of the cart unit 9, a pair of second frame members 11 b that face in parallel in the left-right direction of the cart unit 9, and a first Wheels 12 at the front and rear ends of the frame member 11a and rail members 9a (second delivery members) on the second frame member 11b are provided.

ここで台車部９の前後方向は、台車部９上の搭載部１０に搭載されている入浴者の正面側が台車部９の前方向であり、台車部９上の搭載部１０に搭載されている入浴者の背面側が台車部９の後方向である。台車部９の左右方向は、台車部９の前後方向に直交する方向である。また、台車部９の前後方向および左右方向は、浴槽２の前後方向および左右方向とは独立したものであるが、図９Ａでは台車部９の前後左右方向と浴槽２の前後左右方向とは一致している。 Here, in the front-rear direction of the carriage part 9, the front side of the bather mounted on the mounting part 10 on the carriage part 9 is the front direction of the carriage part 9, and the carriage part 9 is mounted on the mounting part 10 on the carriage part 9. The back side of the bather is the rear direction of the carriage unit 9. The left-right direction of the carriage unit 9 is a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction of the carriage unit 9. Further, the front-rear direction and the left-right direction of the carriage unit 9 are independent from the front-rear direction and the left-right direction of the bathtub 2, but in FIG. I'm doing it.

図９Ａでは台車固定部５は浴槽２の一方の側壁に固定されているが、台車部９は前後左右に対称的になっているので、図９Ｂに示すように、台車固定部５を浴槽２の他方の側壁に固定し、台車部９を浴槽２の他方の側壁に固定することができる。このように台車固定部５は浴槽２の左右側壁のどちら側に取着しても台車部９を浴槽２に連結固定できるので、浴槽２の様々なレイアウトに対応できる。 In FIG. 9A, the cart fixing portion 5 is fixed to one side wall of the bathtub 2, but the cart portion 9 is symmetrical in the front-rear and left-right directions, so that the cart fixing portion 5 is connected to the bathtub 2 as shown in FIG. 9B. It can fix to the other side wall of this, and the trolley | bogie part 9 can be fixed to the other side wall of the bathtub 2. FIG. In this way, the carriage fixing part 5 can be connected and fixed to the bathtub 2 regardless of which side of the right and left side walls of the bathtub 2 is attached.

図１０Ａないし図１０Ｃを参照して、搭載部１０はその移動方向上の異なる位置に、台車固定部５の第一の移動阻止機構部１７のロック部材１７ａまたは第二の移動阻止機構部１８のロック部材１８ｂと係合可能な三つの第一〜第三の係合部分を有する。ここで、第一の係合部分は、搭載部１０の下面の係合部１０ｄであり、第二の係合部分は、搭載部１０下部の係合用穴部１０ｅであり、第三の係合部分は、搭載部１０下部の係合用穴部１０ｆである。なお、第一〜第三の係合部分の形状は上記に限定されず、凹部や穴部、その他であってもよく、その組合せは任意である。 With reference to FIGS. 10A to 10C, the mounting portion 10 is located at different positions in the moving direction of the lock member 17 a of the first movement prevention mechanism portion 17 of the carriage fixing portion 5 or the second movement prevention mechanism portion 18. It has three first to third engagement portions that can be engaged with the lock member 18b. Here, the first engagement portion is the engagement portion 10d on the lower surface of the mounting portion 10, and the second engagement portion is the engagement hole portion 10e at the lower portion of the mounting portion 10, and the third engagement portion. The portion is an engagement hole 10f at the bottom of the mounting portion 10. In addition, the shape of the first to third engagement portions is not limited to the above, and may be a recess, a hole, or the like, and the combination thereof is arbitrary.

搭載部１０はこれら係合部分１０ｄ，１０ｅ，１０ｆを有することにより、搭載部１０が台車部９又は載置部７から誤って転落することがないように、その移動方向上の異なる第一〜第四の所定位置でロックすることができる。ここで、第一の所定位置は、台車部９上で搭載部１０がロック部材１８ｂと係合部１０ｄでロックされる位置であり、第二の所定位置は、台車部９上で搭載部１０がロック部材１８ｂと係合用穴部１０ｅでロックされる位置である。また、第三の所定位置は、載置部７上で搭載部１０がロック部材１７ａと係合部１０ｄでロックされる位置であり、第四の所定位置は、載置部７上で搭載部１０がロック部材１７ａと係合用穴部１０ｆでロックされる位置である。 The mounting portion 10 has these engaging portions 10d, 10e, and 10f, so that the mounting portion 10 does not accidentally fall from the carriage portion 9 or the placement portion 7 so that the first to different movement directions are different. It can be locked at the fourth predetermined position. Here, the first predetermined position is a position on the carriage unit 9 where the mounting part 10 is locked by the locking member 18b and the engaging part 10d, and the second predetermined position is the mounting part 10 on the carriage part 9. Is a position locked by the locking member 18b and the engaging hole 10e. The third predetermined position is a position where the mounting portion 10 is locked by the locking member 17a and the engaging portion 10d on the mounting portion 7, and the fourth predetermined position is the mounting portion on the mounting portion 7. Reference numeral 10 denotes a position locked by the lock member 17a and the engagement hole 10f.

搭載部１０が台車部９上を移動する際には、第二の移動阻止機構部１８のロック部材１８ｂが係合部１０ｄと係合すると、搭載部１０が第一の所定位置から移動することを阻止(第一のロック状態)される。また、第二の移動阻止機構部１８のロック部材１８ｂが係合用穴部１０ｅと係合すると、搭載部１０が第二の所定位置から移動することを阻止(第二のロック状態)される。 When the mounting unit 10 moves on the carriage unit 9, the mounting unit 10 moves from the first predetermined position when the lock member 18b of the second movement prevention mechanism unit 18 engages with the engaging unit 10d. Is blocked (first locked state). Further, when the lock member 18b of the second movement blocking mechanism portion 18 is engaged with the engagement hole portion 10e, the mounting portion 10 is blocked from moving from the second predetermined position (second locked state).

このように第二の移動阻止機構部１８は、ロック部材１８ｂが台車部９から突出して搭載部１０の係合部１０ｄに係合して搭載部１０が台車部９から転落することを第一のロック状態で阻止する。しかしながら、誤操作により、ロック部材１８ｂが搭載部１０の係合部１０ｄに係合できず、そのため搭載部１０が、脱落方向に、第一の所定位置から第二の所定位置の距離分、移動しても、ロック部材１８ｂがバネ部材１８ｄの付勢力で係合用穴部１０ｅに入り込む。これにより、搭載部１０の移動を第二のロック状態になって阻止することができるので、搭載部１０の台車部９からの転落を防止することができる。 As described above, the second movement prevention mechanism portion 18 is configured such that the locking member 18b protrudes from the cart portion 9 and engages with the engaging portion 10d of the mounting portion 10 so that the mounting portion 10 falls from the cart portion 9. Stop in the locked state. However, due to an erroneous operation, the lock member 18b cannot be engaged with the engaging portion 10d of the mounting portion 10, and therefore the mounting portion 10 moves in the drop-off direction by a distance from the first predetermined position to the second predetermined position. Even so, the lock member 18b enters the engagement hole 10e by the biasing force of the spring member 18d. Thereby, since the movement of the mounting part 10 can be prevented in the second locked state, the falling of the mounting part 10 from the cart part 9 can be prevented.

搭載部１０は、第二の所定位置から第一の所定位置へ容易に移動されることが可能である。この場合、ロック部材１８ｂの面取りされている上面１８ｅが、係合用穴部１０ｅの端面と接触してロック部材１８ｂが軸１８ｃを中心として時計回りに回転されて係合用穴部１０ｅから退避する。従って、ロック部材１８ｂと係合用穴部１０ｅとが互いに干渉しなくなるので、搭載部１０を第二の所定位置から第一の所定位置へ容易に戻すことができる。 The mounting portion 10 can be easily moved from the second predetermined position to the first predetermined position. In this case, the chamfered upper surface 18e of the lock member 18b comes into contact with the end surface of the engagement hole 10e, and the lock member 18b is rotated clockwise about the shaft 18c to retract from the engagement hole 10e. Therefore, since the lock member 18b and the engagement hole 10e do not interfere with each other, the mounting portion 10 can be easily returned from the second predetermined position to the first predetermined position.

また、搭載部７が第二の所定位置においては、搭載部７及びこれに搭載された入浴者の重心が偏ってしまって不安定な状態となっているので、上記のように搭載部７が第一の所定位置へ戻されることにより、搭載部７および入浴者の態勢を安定化して入浴者の安全を確保することができる。 In addition, when the mounting portion 7 is in the second predetermined position, the mounting portion 7 and the center of gravity of the bather mounted thereon are biased and are in an unstable state. By returning to the first predetermined position, the posture of the mounting portion 7 and the bather can be stabilized and the safety of the bather can be ensured.

搭載部１０が載置部７上を移動する際には、第一の移動阻止機構部１７のロック部材１７ａが係合部１０ｄと係合すると、搭載部１０が第三の所定位置から移動することを阻止(第三のロック状態)される。また、第一の移動阻止機構部１７のロック部材１７ａが係合用穴部１０ｆと係合すると、搭載部１０が第四の所定位置から移動することを阻止(第四のロック状態)される。 When the mounting unit 10 moves on the mounting unit 7, the mounting unit 10 moves from the third predetermined position when the lock member 17a of the first movement prevention mechanism unit 17 is engaged with the engaging unit 10d. This is blocked (third locked state). Further, when the lock member 17a of the first movement prevention mechanism portion 17 is engaged with the engagement hole portion 10f, the mounting portion 10 is prevented from moving from the fourth predetermined position (fourth locked state).

このように第一の移動阻止機構部１７は、ロック部材１７ａが台車固定部５から突出して搭載部１０の係合部１０ｄに係合して搭載部１０が載置部７から転落することを第三のロック状態で阻止する。しかしながら、誤操作により、ロック部材１７ａが搭載部１０の係合部１０ｄに係合できず、そのため搭載部１０が、脱落方向に、第三の所定位置から第四の所定位置の距離分、移動しても、ロック部材１７ａがバネ部材１７ｃの付勢力で係合用穴部１０ｆに入り込む。これにより、搭載部１０の移動を第四のロック状態になって阻止することができるので、搭載部１０の載置部７からの転落を防止することができる。 As described above, the first movement prevention mechanism 17 is configured such that the locking member 17a protrudes from the carriage fixing portion 5 and engages with the engaging portion 10d of the mounting portion 10 so that the mounting portion 10 falls from the mounting portion 7. Stop in the third locked state. However, due to an erroneous operation, the lock member 17a cannot be engaged with the engaging portion 10d of the mounting portion 10, and therefore the mounting portion 10 moves in the drop-off direction by a distance from the third predetermined position to the fourth predetermined position. Even so, the lock member 17a enters the engagement hole 10f by the urging force of the spring member 17c. Thereby, since the movement of the mounting part 10 can be prevented in the fourth locked state, the falling of the mounting part 10 from the mounting part 7 can be prevented.

搭載部１０は、第四の所定位置から第三の所定位置へ容易に移動されることが可能である。この場合、ロック部材１７ａは、軸１７ｄを中心としてバネ部材１７ｃにより反時計回りにも回転可能なので、ロック部材１７ａが係合用穴部１０ｆの端面と接触して、このロック部材１７ａが反時計回りに回転されて係合用穴部１０ｆから退避する。従って、ロック部材１７ａと係合用穴部１０ｆとが互いに干渉しなくなるので、搭載部１０が第四の所定位置から第三の所定位置へ容易に戻すことができる。 The mounting portion 10 can be easily moved from the fourth predetermined position to the third predetermined position. In this case, the lock member 17a can be rotated counterclockwise about the shaft 17d by the spring member 17c. Therefore, the lock member 17a comes into contact with the end face of the engagement hole 10f, and the lock member 17a is counterclockwise. And retracted from the engagement hole 10f. Accordingly, the lock member 17a and the engagement hole portion 10f do not interfere with each other, so that the mounting portion 10 can be easily returned from the fourth predetermined position to the third predetermined position.

また、搭載部７が第四の所定位置においては、搭載部７及びこれに搭載された入浴者の重心が偏ってしまって不安定な状態となっているので、上記のように搭載部７が第三の所定位置へ戻されることにより、搭載部７および入浴者の態勢を安定化して入浴者の安全を確保することができる。 In addition, when the mounting portion 7 is in the fourth predetermined position, the mounting portion 7 and the center of gravity of the bather mounted thereon are biased and are in an unstable state. By returning to the third predetermined position, the posture of the mounting portion 7 and the bather can be stabilized and the safety of the bather can be ensured.

第二の移動阻止機構部１８において、その重心は、軸１８ｃに位置するように設定されている。これにより、台車部９が例えば凹凸のある床面上を通過して上下方向に衝撃力を受けた場合でも、第二の移動機構部１８が軸１８ｃを中心として回転することを防止することができるので、ロック部材１８ｂが時計回りに回転してロック部材１８ｂと係合部１０ｄとの係合が外れることを防止することができる。 In the second movement prevention mechanism 18, the center of gravity is set so as to be positioned on the shaft 18c. This prevents the second moving mechanism 18 from rotating about the shaft 18c even when the cart 9 passes over an uneven floor and receives an impact force in the vertical direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lock member 18b from rotating clockwise and disengaging the lock member 18b from the engagement portion 10d.

第二の移動阻止機構部１８の重心の位置は上記に限定されることなく、例えばロック解除部材１８ａ側にあってもよい。この場合、第二の移動阻止機構部１８には軸１８ｃを中心として反時計回りに回転しようとする力が作用しているので、ロック部材１８ｂを時計回りに付勢しているバネ部材１８ｄが劣化してその付勢力が弱くなっていても、ロック部材１８ｂが時計回りに回転してロック部材１８ｂと係合部１０ｄとの係合が外れることを防止することができる。 The position of the center of gravity of the second movement prevention mechanism 18 is not limited to the above, and may be on the lock release member 18a side, for example. In this case, since the force that rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 18c acts on the second movement blocking mechanism 18, the spring member 18d that urges the lock member 18b clockwise is provided. Even if the biasing force is weakened due to deterioration, it is possible to prevent the lock member 18b from rotating clockwise and disengaging the lock member 18b from the engagement portion 10d.

図１１ないし図１４を参照して、搬送車３の搭載部１０は、その背面側に図１１に示すように操作レバー２０を備えている。操作レバー２０は下方に付勢されていると共に、図１２および図１３に示すように下端部が軸２１ａで軸支されている。この軸２１ａには「く」の字状のロック部材２２の一端側２２ａも軸支されている。ロック部材２２はその中央部が軸２１ｂで軸支されている。ロック部材２２の他端側２２ｂは台車部９のレール部材９ａ側面の切欠凹部２３に係入可能になっている。 Referring to FIGS. 11 to 14, the mounting portion 10 of the transport vehicle 3 includes an operation lever 20 on the back side thereof as shown in FIG. 11. The operation lever 20 is urged downward, and the lower end is pivotally supported by a shaft 21a as shown in FIGS. One end side 22a of the "<"-shaped lock member 22 is also supported on the shaft 21a. The central portion of the lock member 22 is pivotally supported by a shaft 21b. The other end 22 b of the lock member 22 can be engaged with a notch recess 23 on the side surface of the rail member 9 a of the carriage unit 9.

操作レバー２０が操作されていない時は、図１２に示すように、ロック部材２２はレール部材９ａ側面の切欠凹部２３に係入していて、搭載部１０は台車部９上に固定され、レール部材９ａ上の移動を阻止されている(ロック状態)。 When the operation lever 20 is not operated, as shown in FIG. 12, the lock member 22 is engaged with the notch recess 23 on the side surface of the rail member 9a, and the mounting portion 10 is fixed on the carriage portion 9, and the rail The movement on the member 9a is prevented (locked state).

操作レバー２０を上方に操作すると、図１３に示すように、ロック部材２２は軸２１ｂ回りに反時計回り方向に回動してレール部材９ａ側面の切欠凹部２３から脱するので、搭載部１０を台車部９から浴槽２側へ移動させることができる(ロック解除状態)。 When the operation lever 20 is operated upward, as shown in FIG. 13, the lock member 22 rotates counterclockwise around the shaft 21b and is released from the notch recess 23 on the side surface of the rail member 9a. It can be moved from the cart section 9 to the bathtub 2 side (unlocked state).

図１４は、台車部９と、浴槽２とを前方向正面から見た断面図であり、台車部９には、台車部９を浴槽２から分離する際に操作する左右対称形状の操作ペダル１４が設けられ、該操作ペダル１４にはペダル１４ａ、１４ｂを備える。係合部材１５の一端側は軸１５ｃで軸支され、他端側が係合用端部１５ｂとなっている。操作ペダル１４は、複数の回転軸２４ａないし２４ｆおよび複数の連結バー２５ａないし２５ｄからなる機構で係合部材１５に連結されている。左側のペダル１４ｂは台車部９を浴槽２から分離する操作には使用しないので、不図示の可動域制限手段により、踏み込みできないようになっている。尚、操作ペダル１４は左右対称形状なので、浴槽の他端側に台車部９を連結する際に、図９Ａにおいて後側に取り付けてある操作ペダル１４を、前側に組み替えてもよい。また、操作ペダルは上述の形状や構成に限定されることなく、組み替え不要な形状、構成、取付位置などを適宜変更してもよい。 FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the trolley unit 9 and the bathtub 2 as viewed from the front in the front direction. The trolley unit 9 has a symmetrical operation pedal 14 that is operated when the trolley unit 9 is separated from the tub 2. The operation pedal 14 includes pedals 14a and 14b. One end side of the engaging member 15 is pivotally supported by a shaft 15c, and the other end side is an engaging end portion 15b. The operation pedal 14 is connected to the engaging member 15 by a mechanism including a plurality of rotating shafts 24a to 24f and a plurality of connecting bars 25a to 25d. Since the left pedal 14b is not used for the operation of separating the carriage unit 9 from the bathtub 2, it cannot be stepped on by a not-shown movable range limiting means. In addition, since the operation pedal 14 is a left-right symmetric shape, when connecting the trolley | bogie part 9 to the other end side of a bathtub, you may rearrange the operation pedal 14 attached to the rear side in FIG. 9A to the front side. Further, the operation pedal is not limited to the shape and configuration described above, and the shape, configuration, attachment position, and the like that do not require recombination may be changed as appropriate.

台車部９はロック部材１８ａとロック解除部材１８ｂ、とを備えた第二の移動阻止機構部１８を有する。浴槽２の台車固定部５にはロック部材１７ａとロック解除部材１７ｂとを備えた第一の移動阻止機構部１７が設けられている。 The carriage unit 9 includes a second movement prevention mechanism unit 18 including a lock member 18a and an unlock member 18b. The carriage fixing portion 5 of the bathtub 2 is provided with a first movement prevention mechanism portion 17 having a lock member 17a and a lock release member 17b.

入浴者を浴槽２に入浴させるため、搬送車を浴槽２に近接し台車固定部５で台車部９を浴槽２に連結固定する。台車部９を浴槽２に連結すると、第一の移動阻止機構部１７と第二の移動阻止機構部１８のロックが解除されるので、台車部９上から搭載部１０を浴槽２側に移動させる。移動が完了した後、必要に応じ、ペダル１４ａを踏み込んで台車部９を浴槽２から分離してもよい。そして、図１４は入浴が終了したので台車部９が浴槽２側に近接して第一の移動阻止機構部１７および第二の移動阻止機構部１８によるロックが解除される直前の状態を示している。 In order to bathe the bather in the bathtub 2, the carriage is brought close to the bathtub 2, and the carriage 9 is connected and fixed to the bathtub 2 by the carriage fixing part 5. Since the lock | rock of the 1st movement prevention mechanism part 17 and the 2nd movement prevention mechanism part 18 will be cancelled | released if the trolley | bogie part 9 is connected with the bathtub 2, the mounting part 10 is moved to the bathtub 2 side from the trolley | bogie part 9. . After the movement is completed, the carriage unit 9 may be separated from the bathtub 2 by depressing the pedal 14a as necessary. FIG. 14 shows the state immediately before the trolley unit 9 comes close to the bathtub 2 side and the lock by the first movement blocking mechanism unit 17 and the second movement blocking mechanism unit 18 is released because the bathing is finished. Yes.

台車部９が浴槽２に連結されると、浴槽２の載置部７上の搭載部１０は第一の移動阻止機構部１７および第二の移動阻止機構部１８によるロックが解除されて浴槽２から台車部９への移動ができるようになるので、搭載部１０を浴槽２側から台車部９側へ移動させる。 When the cart unit 9 is connected to the bathtub 2, the mounting unit 10 on the mounting unit 7 of the bathtub 2 is unlocked by the first movement blocking mechanism unit 17 and the second movement blocking mechanism unit 18, and the bathtub 2 is mounted.
