Description

  In the present invention, a patient, a handicapped person, an elderly person (hereinafter referred to as “caregiver”) who is incapable of moving in a hospital or nursing home is transferred from a bed to, for example, a wheelchair or vice versa. The present invention also relates to a nursing transport lift that can also be used.

  Caregivers are required to have both care knowledge and physical strength when helping to raise the upper body of a cared person who is difficult to undulate or roll over and move from bed to chair, etc. The Caregivers become very anxious when they are assisted by a caregiver who is inferior in physical strength, such as a woman, while caregivers who are inferior in physical strength try to reduce the number of undulations. For this reason, by increasing the number of undulations, the caregiver may be obstructed by the caregiver who takes a method of encouraging the cared person to become independent from the bedridden state.

  Thus, in the past, in order to shift caregivers to become independent, relying on caregivers' knowledge and physical strength to shift from bedridden to chairs, wheelchairs, etc. I was invited.

  There are various products on the market for lifting devices that lift and move the cared person, but these devices are all lifted by several belts or seats, which is troublesome and requires a belt. There are difficulties such as biting into the caregiver, tightly tightening the sides of the body, and taking up space for storage and movement.

  In addition, an invention of a care support device for supporting caregiver support for ups and downs has been proposed. The invention according to Patent Document 1 uses a simple crane to lift a cared person with a net or a hook and move it to a chair or the like. The invention according to Patent Document 2 uses a sling sheet that wraps a care receiver's buttocks from below instead of a net or a hook. In Patent Document 3, a gripper for gripping a chest of a care receiver in a supine state is provided on a movable carriage so as to be movable up and down. Furthermore, the invention according to Patent Document 4 can be connected to a sled-like body that can be tilted so that the cared person can be placed in a supine posture on the bed and the cared person can take a sitting posture as it is, And the lift transfer apparatus for care which consists of a lift main body which can incline while rotating this sled-like body with a cared person is proposed. Furthermore, the invention according to Patent Document 5 is an improvement of the invention according to Patent Document 4, in which a side support part and a back support part band are provided at a free end part of a cantilever that is laid horizontally on a support column. A nursing care lift transfer device has been proposed in which an upper attachment mechanism having a thigh carrying portion and a lower attachment mechanism having a calf carrying portion can be rotated and locked together. The invention according to Patent Document 6 is a transfer device including a movable carriage part, an arm part connected to the carriage part, and a holder attached to the arm part to hold a person, The holding tool includes a torso support part that holds a person's torso, and a lower limb support part that is connected to a lower part of the torso support part and supports a knee of the lower limb part. A transfer device is proposed.

JP-A-8-224278 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-14993 JP 2000-102297 A JP-A-3-210256 JP-A-6-14965 JP 2010-69283 A

  However, in the care support apparatus according to Patent Document 1, the act of lifting a person with a net or a hook is far from the normal lifestyle, and there is a risk of giving psychological resistance to the care recipient. The posture of the person also becomes unstable, and the movement while being shaken may make the cared person feel very uneasy. In addition, in the care support device according to Patent Document 2, in order to hold and lift the buttocks of a care receiver in a supine position from below with a sling sheet, the care receiver needs to take a sitting posture in advance. On the other hand, there is a problem that the posture of the cared person becomes unstable during movement as in the care support device according to Patent Document 1. Further, in the care support device according to Patent Document 3, it is possible to hold a caregiver in a supine state as it is, but when the caregiver is lifted, only the chest part is gripped and the lower body is not supported. Therefore, the cared person can easily feel that the cared person is pulled up. On the other hand, as in the care support device according to Patent Document 1, the cared person's posture becomes unstable during movement. In addition, in the lift transfer device for care according to Patent Document 4, the caregiver lifts the back of the person being assisted by the hand so that the back support of the sled is located below the care receiver, In order to connect the sled body to the main body, at least two caregivers are required, and there are still problems in terms of labor and labor. Although the lift transfer device for care according to Patent Document 5 has improved the invention according to Patent Document 4 to solve the above problem, the thigh carrying part and the calf carrying part bite in with the weight of the cared person, and for the cared person Is still a heavy physical burden. Furthermore, since the transfer device according to Patent Document 6 supports the lower body only at the lower limb part, the supported part bites in and the physical burden on the care recipient is large, and for the caregiver, the lower limb of the care recipient is There is a problem that the work of placing on the lower limb support member is not solved.

  Therefore, the present invention was created to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, the structure of the device is simple, and caregivers who do not have physical strength or care knowledge can also undulate and move the care recipient. It is an object of the present invention to provide a care transfer lift that can easily assist the caregiver and can be undulated and moved without worry for the care recipient.

  The care transfer lift according to the present invention is a care transfer lift in which a lift main body for holding a cared person is provided on a movable carriage so that the car can be moved up and down.

More preferably, the support member is maintained near the height of the back of the thigh from the back of the thigh of the care recipient. Furthermore, if the sliding mechanism of the guide member is arranged so as to be inclined slightly downwards forward with respect to the ground, the body shape and medical condition of the cared person lying on the bed, and the inclination of the seat surface of the wheelchair It becomes possible to respond. It is preferable that the inclination is 3 degrees to 5 degrees.

  The pair of left and right support members may be slid in a left-right interlocking manner by a guide member sliding mechanism, or may be slid independently from each other by a guide member sliding mechanism. The support member is a strip-shaped metal plate, and the connection portion between the strip-shaped metal plate and the coupling member is provided on the outer edge with respect to the cared person, and the body of the cared person from the inner edge direction. It is preferable that the connecting member in the outer edge direction be a support surface that does not allow the cared person's body to escape to the outside. Further, the support member includes a support plate formed in a tapered shape in which the width of the band plate-shaped metal plate becomes narrower toward the distal end side than the proximal end side, and a connecting member on the proximal end side surface in the length direction of the support plate It is good to provide a connecting piece standing upright at one end on the side in contact with the support member, and pivotally support the connecting piece and the connecting member so that the bottom surface of the connecting member contacts the top surface of the support plate. Furthermore, if the connecting member has a recess in a part of the bottom surface, and an elastic core material larger than the clearance is fitted into the gap of the recess, so-called play occurs in the support plate, and the support plate is provided to the care recipient. When addressing, it is possible to deal with the shape of the cared person and the inclination of the seating surface of the wheelchair.

  Further, the connecting piece is safe and convenient if the support member is provided with a stopper for preventing the support member from being inserted into the back of the seating surface of the wheelchair when the care transfer lift is brought into contact with the wheelchair.

  As another modification, the lift body has a shape that can hold the care recipient's foot, a reinforcing member that reinforces the guide member and supports the foot supporting member, a foot supporting member, and a reinforcing member. And a connecting member for pivotally connecting them.

  Furthermore, if the carriage is provided with an elevating mechanism that can raise and lower the lift body, a turning mechanism that rotatably supports the lift body, and a moving mechanism that can move the carriage itself, the convenience is further enhanced.

Further, the carriage 60 is convenient to move if it is provided with a handle 67 (not shown). The care transfer lift 2 can be formed by combining most of its constituent parts with a metal, for example, a square material such as steel steel or aluminum, a square pipe, or the like. The elevating drive mechanism may be driven by various power mechanisms and control mechanisms (not shown). For example, various systems such as an electric lift drive mechanism using a motor, a lift drive mechanism using a hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or the like can be used.

  Refer to FIG. FIG. 14 is a side view showing a part of the lift body 50. Since the lift body 50 is almost the same as the lift body 10 according to the first embodiment, only important elements of the lift body 50 will be described here. In addition, since it is bilaterally symmetric, a and b indicating left and right are omitted in the description. The lift body 50 includes a pair of support members 51 that hold a part of the buttocks of the cared person L and the back of the thighs, and a pair of guide members that allow the support members 51 to slide along the front-rear direction of the carriage 60. 53, and a connecting member 52 that connects the support member 51 and the guide member 53 to each other. The support member 51 connected to the connection member 52 can slide in the forward direction of the carriage 60 along the guide of the guide member 53. The connecting member 52 includes a back support belt attaching portion to which a back support belt 56 that holds the back of the care recipient L can be attached at a predetermined position. The arrangement of the guide members 53a and 53b in the lift main body 50 will be described. The pair of guide members 53 are arranged so as to be inclined slightly downward (indicated by arrows) in the forward direction with respect to the ground, and in a plan view. The tip is parallel to the closed C shape. In this way, the support member 51 is slid and disposed in the forefront by arranging the pair of guide members 53 so as to be inclined slightly downward in the forward direction with respect to the ground and in parallel with the letter C. At this time, if the tips are adjusted so as to be separated from each other by about 60 mm, the support plates 510a and 510b can enter and support a part of the buttocks and thighs of the cared person L. It is preferable that the inclination of the pair of guide members 53 is 3 degrees to 5 degrees. The guide members 53a and 53b are connected and fixed by metal fittings (not shown) through the reinforcing member 57. A chest support 55 may be provided at the tip of the fixed C-shape.

  Refer to FIG. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view showing the foot holding member 58. In the second embodiment, the lift body 50 includes a foot support member 58 having a shape that can hold the foot of the cared person L, a reinforcement member 57 that reinforces the guide member 53 and supports the foot support member 58, and a foot support. A connecting member 59 that pivotally connects the member 58 and the reinforcing member 57 is provided. The foot holding members 58 a and 58 b are each attached to a part of the right left side surface of the reinforcing member 57 so as to support the care receiver L. The foot holding member 58 is composed of two holding members 58a and 58b formed by folding two belt-like metal plates in a substantially semicircular shape so that the ridgeline is located in the longitudinal direction. The two holding members 58a and 58b may be formed of a resin molded product such as FRP. One end of the two holding members 58a and 58b is rotatably attached to a part of the left side surface of the reinforcing member 57 by the connecting members 59a and 59b, and a W shape is formed when the other ends are abutted. The rotating state can be understood from the two holding members 58a and 58b indicated by dotted lines and the direction of the arrows. Although the foot holding member 58 is not shown in the first embodiment, the care transfer lift 1 may also be provided in the first embodiment.

  Refer to FIG. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the cared person L suspended from the lift body 50 is transferred to the wheelchair W. Since the care receiver L is suspended from the lift main body 50 (FIG. 11B) is the same as that of the first embodiment, the illustration is omitted. The caregiver K moves the care lift 2 away from the bed, but the care lift 2 has a leg height of about 25 mm as described above, so the wheelchair auxiliary wheel can easily get over. Therefore, it is not necessary to rotate the lift main body 50 as in the first embodiment (FIG. 16A). Therefore, the caregiver K adjusts the seat surface of the wheelchair W so that the bottom of the cared person L suspended from the lift body 50 is directly above the seat surface of the wheelchair W, and then the drive mechanism (not shown) Is not driven, and the lifting column 64 is lowered (FIG. 16B). At this time, the support plates 510a and 510b may be lowered until they contact the seating surface of the wheelchair W, and the support plates 510a and 510b may be slid rearward along the guide members 53a and 53b. The caregiver K removes the back support belt (not shown), and then moves the care lift 2 from the wheelchair W (FIG. 16C).

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment in the transfer lift for care concerning the present invention was illustrated and explained, it will be understood that various changes are possible without departing from the technical scope of the present invention.

  Since the care lift according to the present invention has a simple structure and a small burden on the caregiver, it can be widely used not only for hospitals and care facilities but also for home use.
