Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an operation unit for operating an electric medical device such as an electric bed or an electric stand-up assist chair, which is configured to be attached to an appropriate position of the electric medical device. , An operation unit in an electric medical device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, electric medical devices such as an electric bed and an electric stand-up assist chair have been widely used. For example, in an electric bed having an electric floor raising / lowering mechanism, an operation switch (hereinafter, a hand switch) is usually provided near a bedside, and an operation command is given by the hand switch to activate the floor raising / lowering mechanism. In many cases, the position holding position of the floor is adjusted. In this case, the hand switch is connected to the electric driving unit via the controller by a long signal cable, but the hand switch is left at an appropriate place on the bottom because of the long signal cable of the hand switch. In some cases, the hand switch may be accidentally dropped on the floor surface during bed making, or the user's body may be laid down at bedtime. Therefore, a configuration has been proposed in which such a hand switch is attached to one of the right and left side fences so that the hand switch can be operated.

[0003]

However, if the hand switch is mounted on one of the left and right side fences, the mounting position of the hand switch is definitely determined, and as described above, the hand switch is inadvertently dropped onto the floor. There is no longer any risk of being damaged by being placed under the patient's body, but by limiting the location of the hand switch, the operation can be performed only at a position where the hand switch can be reached, and the operating range is remarkably large. It will be limited. The present invention has been proposed in view of the above background, and is an operation unit for operating an electric medical device such as an electric bed or an electric stand-up assist chair, and It is an object of the present invention to provide an operation unit in a motor-operated medical device which can be attached to a medical device and can be operated at any position on the device.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an operation switch for operating an electric medical device and an electric switch for driving the electric medical device.
And connection relay means connected to the operation switch.
Connection relay means that when connected via a signal cable,
The connection relay means always winds the signal cable.
A case configured to be urged to be accommodated,
Removably attaches cases to multiple locations on portable medical devices
Mounting means for selectively mounting the case
Operable by attaching to the means .

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a retractable side fence 2 provided on a bed 1 having an electric floor raising / lowering mechanism. The retractable side fence 2 is, for example, a bed frame (not shown) supporting a bottom 3 of the bed 1. It comprises a column 4 provided so as to be retractable and projectable from below the bottom 3 to above the bottom 3, and a fence 5 rotatably supported on the upper end side of the column 4. Then, an operation unit 6 for operating the floor undulating mechanism is detachably screwed to the vicinity of the mounting position of the column 4 facing the bottom 3 side of the fence 5 of the retractable side fence 2 having such a configuration. I have.

The operation unit 6 will now be described. That is, the operation unit 6 is provided with a hand switch 7
And a cord reel 9 wound around a signal cable 8 connected to a hand switch 7. The signal cable 8 is urged by an appropriate urging means so as to be wound and accommodated in the code reel 9. Thus, when the hand switch 7 is used, it is operated in a state of being put on the outlet 11 of the signal cable 8 in the case 10 of the code reel 9 or the signal cable 8 is connected to the cord reel 9 against the urging force applied to the signal cable 8. The reel 9 is pulled out of the case 10 and operated. On the other hand, when not in use, the hand switch 7 is moved to the case 1 of the cord reel 9.
0 is placed on the drawer port 11. The case 10 of the code reel 9 has a protruding peripheral portion 12, and screw holes 13 a, 13 for fixing the case 10 to the fence portion 5 with screws on the peripheral portion 12.
b, 13c are formed (see FIG. 2).

[0007] Corresponding to the case 10 of the cord reel 9, the mounting nuts 14a, 14b are provided at positions where the fences 5 are mounted at positions corresponding to the screw holes 13a to 13c provided in the peripheral portion 12 of the case 10. , 14c are implanted. Further, the fence portion 5 has an outlet 1 for the signal cable 8 in the case 10 of the code reel 9.
A magnet 15 is provided for stably holding the hand switch 7 mounted on 1. Although not shown, a connector for a cable that communicates with a controller in a control box provided in a frame below the bottom is provided at a position inside the embedded nuts 14a to 14c of the fence 5, and a cord reel 9 is provided. The case 10 is fixed to the embedding nuts 14a to 14c and connected to a cable connector so as to be electrically connected to the controller.

According to the operation unit 6 as described above, the hand switch 7 is operated in a state of being put on the outlet 11 of the signal cable 8 in the case 10 of the code reel 9 at the time of use, or it is applied to the signal cable 8. The signal cable 8 can be pulled out from the case 10 of the cord reel 9 and operated against the urging force (see FIG. 1). On the other hand, when not in use, the hand switch 7 can be placed on the drawer opening 11 in the case 10 of the cord reel 9. In this case, the magnet 15 is
Is provided, the hand switch 7 can be stably held.

The case 10 of the code reel 9 in the operation unit 6 is configured to be detachable,
As shown in FIG. 2, the board 16 is attached to the fence 5 of the retractable side fence 2 as shown in FIG.
4 and, as shown in FIG. 4, it is also possible to attach to an accessory such as the bedside tray 17 in the bed 1.

Furthermore, in addition to the electric bed 1, FIG.
As shown in the figure, it can be attached to an electric stand-up assisting chair 18. That is, for example, the armrest 19
The case 10 of the cord reel 9 in the operation unit 6 is screwed inside or behind the unit, and the mounting hole 20 of the hand switch 7 is provided on the tip side of the armrest 19, and the hand switch 7 is mounted on the mounting hole 20. It can be operated in this state, or can be operated by pulling out the signal cable 8 from the cord reel 9 with the hand switch 7 in hand.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the cord reel case constituting the operation unit in the electric medical device is detachably configured, so that it can be used by attaching it to an arbitrary portion of the device. In addition, the user can remove the hand switch from the cord reel and pull out and operate the signal cable as needed, which is very easy to use for both the user and the caregiver.
