DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of a battery-operated electric floor raising / lowering mechanism according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an operation control configuration of a battery-driven electric floor raising / lowering mechanism. The floor raising / lowering mechanism of the bed or the like is, for example, a back raising mechanism, a knee raising mechanism, or a floor lifting mechanism, and is controlled by a remote control switch 1 (hereinafter, a hand switch 1) which can be operated on the floor. 2 (hereinafter,
An operation signal is sent to the controller 2) to supply power to the motor 3 for raising the back, the motor 4 for raising the knee, and the motor 5 for raising and lowering the floor, thereby performing operation control. The controller 2 includes a microcomputer 6 including a CPU, a memory, an I / O port, and the like.
The power supply control is performed to the motor 3 for raising the back, the motor 4 for raising the knee, and the motor 5 for lifting the floor. That is,
Based on an operation signal from the hand switch 1, a control command (energization / interruption) from the microcomputer 6 is transmitted to the drive relays 7a, 7b,
The drive relays 7a, 7b, and 7c are supplied to the motor 7c, and are energized / demagnetized to supply / interrupt the drive current from the commercial power source to the back-lifting motor 3, the knee-lifting motor 4, and the floor-elevating motor 5. It has a configuration.

[0006] In a control box 8 accommodating the controller 2, as shown in FIG.
The backing motor 3, the knee raising motor 4, and the floor raising / lowering motor 5 are provided with a housing 9 so that the batteries 9 can be mounted via the battery driving relays 11a, 11b, 11c. Is supplied. When the dry battery 9 is mounted in the housing 10, the drive relays 11a to 11c for dry batteries are always energized and demagnetized based on an operation signal from the hand switch 1, and the motor 3 for raising the back, the motor 4 for raising the knee, and the like. In this state, the floor lifting motor 5 is controlled, and the operation by the dry battery is automatically performed even when the normal commercial power is cut off. Further, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the hand switch 1 switches between dry battery operation and commercial power supply operation.

[0007] The accommodating section 10 for mounting the dry battery 9 is provided inside one corner of the control box 8 and has electrodes 12a and 12b. The dry battery is a 006P type. An insertion slot 13 for inserting the dry battery 9 is provided outside the housing portion 10.
An operation hole 14 for pushing in when taking out is provided. In addition, by adopting a bridge diode in an internal circuit (not shown) when power is taken from the accommodating portion 10 in which the dry battery 9 is mounted, it is possible to eliminate the necessity of distinguishing the polarity of the battery, that is, the positive electrode and the negative electrode. .

[0008] The electric floor raising / lowering mechanism for the battery-operated type according to the present invention is constructed as described above. Next, the operation and operation of the mechanism will be described. In a normal case, the hand switch 1 is operated to give an operation signal to the microcomputer 6 of the controller 2 in the control box 8 and to supply an energization / cutoff command from the microcomputer 6 to the drive relays 7 a and 7.
b, 7c, and energizes / demagnetizes the drive relays 7a, 7b, 7c to supply a drive current from a commercial power supply to the back-lifting motor 3, the knee-lifting motor 4, and the floor-lifting motor 5,
The floor can be adjusted up and down.

Here, at the time of a power failure, even if the hand switch 1 is operated, no electric power is supplied from the commercial power supply, but if the dry battery 9 is mounted in the accommodating portion 10 of the control box 8, the hand switch 1 The drive relays 11a, 11b, and 11c for the dry batteries are excited / demagnetized by the operation signal, so that the motor 3 for raising the back, the motor 4 for raising the knees, and the motor 5 for raising and lowering the floor are controlled and activated to adjust the undulation of the floor. It can be carried out. The mounting of the dry battery 9 is completed by inserting the dry battery 9 into the insertion slot 13 in the accommodation section 10 near one corner of the control box 8 and making it contact the electrodes 12a and 12b. And when exhausted, the storage unit 10
The dry battery 9 can be pushed in and removed through the operation hole 14 on the lower surface. As described above, even if a power failure occurs, or even in a place where there is no power supply facility, the built-in dry battery 9 can be used to adjust the undulation of the floor in the same manner as a commercial power supply. Since the operation is enabled, the usage is further expanded without being restricted by the installation environment.

[0010]

According to the present invention, since it is possible to use during a power outage, which is an electric crying place, the usability is further improved without being affected by a power outage due to a disaster such as an earthquake, and a wide range is provided. Application is possible.
