Description

The present invention, the human body that is lying on the bed cleaned apparatus for wiping by changing the posture of the (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a person).

When wiping the back of a patient with limited limbs, it is necessary to change the position of the patient lying on the bed. The conversion of the position of a patient with a physical disability is performed by a plurality of nurses per patient. In recent years, the number of patients with limb disabilities has increased, and it has become difficult to accommodate all patients in hospitals, and the care of such patients at home has increased. In view of the above , a wiping bed device, which is a bed device for converting the position of a patient who is incapacitated by a single caregiver at home, has been developed.

  The bed apparatus of the prior art includes a rotating plate that a patient can lie down in the longitudinal direction, and a frame body that rotatably holds the rotating plate. The rotating plate is divided at the center in the width direction into a portion on one side in the width direction (hereinafter referred to as “one side portion”) and a portion on the other side in the width direction (hereinafter referred to as “other side portion”). Has been. The one side portion and the other side portion are connected to each other so as to be rotatable about an axis line parallel to the longitudinal direction. The bed apparatus is configured to be able to turn a rotating plate by a drive mechanism. When the drive mechanism is driven while the patient is lying on the rotating plate, one of the one side portion and the other side portion is rotated to tilt the patient (see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 3310835

  When cleaning the patient's back, it is necessary to change the posture and lift the back from the bed. When a patient is wiped, at least three nurses are required per patient in order to change the patient's position, maintain and wipe the position. However, in hospitals, as the number of patients increases, the number of nurses per patient is decreasing. When changing the position of a patient, the number of nurses involved per patient is decreasing, and the burden on nurses is increasing. In a home such as a hospital where there are not a plurality of people, it is even more burdensome to change the patient's position. Such a change of the patient's position by a human hand is one of heavy labor, and an auxiliary device for assisting this change of position is required.

  In the conventional bed apparatus, when the drive mechanism is driven, one of the one side part and the other side part is rotated to tilt the patient. Since the rotating plate is configured so that the patient can lie down, a large driving force is required to rotationally drive the one side portion and the other side portion. In order to generate a large driving force, the configuration of the driving mechanism becomes complicated, the driving mechanism becomes large, and the bed device becomes difficult to convey.

  Further, in the conventional bed apparatus, the one side part and the other side part are rotated, so that the patient is tilted while the back is in contact with the rotating plate. In the state where the back is in contact, the nurse cannot wipe the back, and the patient is tilted to a state where the back can be seen further for wiping. At this time, the nurse puts his hand between the back and the rotating plate and pulls the patient to tilt. In such a tilting method, since the back and the rotating plate are in contact with each other, it takes time to put a hand between the back and the rotating plate, and it is troublesome to change the body position and wipe it alone. Is difficult. In homes where it is necessary to wipe alone, it is more difficult to wipe the patient, and there is a risk that the patient will be wiped away. If the patient's wiping is neglected, it may lead to the development of diseases such as pressure ulcers. Changing the patient's position and cleaning are important tasks for home care, and the difficulty of performing these tasks alone is one obstacle to home care.

FIG. 21A and FIG. 21B are diagrams sequentially illustrating the use procedure of the wiping device 1. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a procedure for posture change. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the hot air sending process. Below, an example of the usage method of the wiping apparatus 1 is demonstrated. First, a patient or the like lies on a bed 105 such as a bed. The bed 105 is formed in a longitudinal shape, and a portion from one end portion to the center portion in the longitudinal direction X (hereinafter referred to as a “tilting portion”) 106 is a remaining portion, and the center portion is used as a fulcrum . As clearly shown in 21A (a), it is configured to be capable of being tilted and driven about an axis in the horizontal width direction Y. The bed 105 is configured so that a patient or the like can lie down, and by tilting the tilting part 106, the upper body of a lying person can be raised.

Next, as shown in FIG. 21A (a), the tilting portion 106 is tilted, the upper body of the lying person is raised, and the tilted portion 106 and the back of the lying person are degenerated. A wiping device 1 is interposed. At this time, the wiping device 1 is arranged so that the take-up roller 66 contacts the buttocks of a patient or the like. When the tilting unit 106 is tilted from this state, as shown in FIG. 21A (b), the torso of a person lying on the body posture changing unit 2 is placed. Two hyperthermia means 75 and 76 in this state, by the Rukoto rotate the sliding member 78 around each housing member body 51, it is erected.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21B (c), the leg placement unit 3 is extended with respect to the body posture conversion unit 2. Specifically, as described above, the winding roller 66 is pulled in one direction in the X direction so as to rewind the sheet member 61, and the leg placement unit 3 is extended. In a fully extended state, it is locked by a locking member, and a leg portion of a person lying on the leg placement unit 3 is placed. Next, as shown in FIG. 21B (d), the first and second connecting members 95 and 96 are connected. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 21B (d), the covering means 98 is configured. The covering means 98 configured in this way is guided by the storage member main body 51 and the storage bar member 64, can slide in the X direction, and can remove a part of a person lying on the body posture conversion unit 2. Can be covered. In FIG. 21B (d), the covering means 98 covering the head is slid in one direction in the X direction, and the covering means 98 covers a part of the leg, for example, the shin part.

  Next, the posture changing process for changing the posture of the person lying on the wiping device 1 in this manner will be described. With reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, an operation for changing the posture will be described. When the operation unit 102 is operated, the posture change process starts, and the process proceeds to step s1. In the following, when there is no particular description about the control subject, the control subject is the control unit 102. In step s1, it is determined whether one of “right” and “left” of the left / right selector switch 153 of the operation unit 102 is selected. When “left” is selected, it is determined that two support members 24 arranged on one side in the Y direction are selected as the support members 24 to be driven. When “right” is selected, it is determined that two support members 24 arranged on the other side in the Y direction are selected as the support members 24 to be driven. In the following operations, since the support member 24 is selected and operated differently, the only difference is whether the support member 24 to be driven is on one side or the other side. Therefore, only the case where “left” is selected and the support member 24 disposed on one side in the Y direction is driven will be described. The support member that is selected and operated on the other side in the Y direction is described. The case where 24 is driven is referred to the case where the one side support member 24a is driven, and the description thereof is omitted. If it judges, it will transfer to step s2.

  In step s2, it is determined whether any one of the shoulder / waist drive switch 156, the shoulder drive switch 154, and the waist drive switch 155 is operated. When the shoulder / lumbar drive switch 156 is operated, the process proceeds to step s3. When the shoulder drive switch 154 is operated, the process proceeds to step s4. When the waist drive switch 155 is operated, the process proceeds to step s5.

  In step s3, when the shoulder / lumbar region drive switch 156 is operated, the support member 24a capable of supporting the shoulder portion of a lying person (hereinafter, may be referred to as "one side shoulder support member 24a") is driven. The support motor 24a (hereinafter, referred to as "one side waist support member 24b") that can support the drive motor 31 (hereinafter, may be referred to as "one side shoulder drive motor 31a") and the waist of the person lying on the side. An electric signal is given to a drive motor 31 that drives the drive motor 31 (which may be referred to as “one side waist drive motor 31b” hereinafter), and the one side shoulder and waist drive motors 31a and 31b are driven simultaneously.

  When the one-side shoulder and waist drive motors 31 a and 31 b are driven, the one-side shoulder and waist support members 24 a and 24 b are swung around the drive shaft 35. Specifically, when the one-side shoulder and waist drive motors 31a and 31b are driven, the drive shaft 35 rotates through the output gear 41, the reduction gear 42, the first gear 33, and the second gear 34, respectively. The pair of link members 36 and 37 swings around the drive shaft 35 as the drive shaft 35 rotates, and the swing shaft 38 fixed to the pair of link members 36 and 37 moves around the drive shaft 35. Rocks. As a result, the support member 24 on which the bearing member 29 through which the swing shaft 38 is inserted can be swung around the drive shaft 35.

  When the switch 156a which the shoulder / waist drive switch 156 is raised is operated, the one shoulder / waist support members 24a, 24b are driven so that the one shoulder / waist drive motors 31a, 31b are separated from the flooring 11. It swings around the shaft 37. As a result, the one shoulder and the waist support members 24a and 24b cooperate to lift the shoulder and waist of the lying person and tilt the lying person. In the present embodiment, the person lying down is pulled to one side, the shoulder of the left half of the person lying down is supported on the one side shoulder support member 24a, and the waist of the left half is supported on the one side waist support member 24b is supported. By swinging and displacing the one side shoulder and waist support members 24a and 24b away from the covering 11, the person lying on the side can be tilted with the arm and leg of the right half of the body as fulcrums ( (Refer to the broken line in FIG. 3 and the two-point diagonal line in FIG. 9). At this time, the one shoulder and waist support members 24a and 24b swing around the swing shaft 38 in accordance with the tilting motion of the shoulder and waist of the left half of the person lying down, and one surface in the thickness direction thereof. The person lying down can be tilted while the part is in contact with the shoulder and waist of the left half to be supported.

  When the switch 156b is operated, the one shoulder and the waist support motors 24a and 24b are swung around the axis so that the one shoulder and the waist driving motors 31a and 31b are close to the flooring 11. Move. Thus, the lying person can be tilted so that the shoulder part and the waist part of the lying person who are tilted are close to the covering body 11. When it is determined that the operation of the raising switch 156a or the raising switch 156b of the shoulder / lumbar part drive switch 156 is interrupted, the process proceeds from step s3 to step s6.

  In step s6, the driving of the one side shoulder and waist drive motors 31a and 31b is stopped, and the body position conversion process is terminated.

  In step s4, when the shoulder drive switch 154 is operated, an electric signal is given to the one shoulder drive motor 31a to drive the one shoulder drive motor 31a. When the switch 154 a that the shoulder drive switch 154 is raised is operated, the one-side shoulder drive motor 31 a swings the one-side shoulder support member 24 a around the drive shaft 35 so as to be separated from the flooring 11. This lifts the shoulders of the person lying down. When the switch 154 b is operated, the one-side shoulder drive motor 31 a swings around the drive shaft 35 so that the one-side shoulder support member 24 a comes close to the flooring 11. For example, when the sag switch 154b is operated while the lying person is tilted by the one side shoulder and waist support members 24a and 24b, the one side shoulder support member 24a is moved away from the left half shoulder. The shoulder can be exposed. If it is determined that the operation of the raising switch 154a or the raising switch 154b of the shoulder drive switch 154 is interrupted, the process proceeds from step s4 to step s6.

  In step s6, the driving of the one-side shoulder motor 31a is stopped, and the posture changing process is ended.

  In step s5, when the waist drive switch 155 is operated, an electric signal is given to the one side waist drive motor 31b to drive the one side waist drive motor 31b. When the switch 155 a that the waist drive switch 155 is raised is operated, the one side waist drive motor 31 b swings the one side waist support member 24 b around the drive shaft 35 so as to be separated from the flooring 11. This lifts the waist of the person lying down. When the switch 155b is operated, the one side waist drive motor 31b swings the one side waist support member 24b around the drive shaft 35 so as to be close to the covering body 11. For example, when the switch 155b is operated in a state where the person lying on the side is tilted by the one shoulder and the waist support members 24a and 24b, the one side waist support member 24a can be separated from the waist of the left half body. , The waist can be exposed. If it is determined that the operation of the rising switch 155a or the retracting switch 155b of the waist drive switch 155 is interrupted, the process proceeds from step s5 to step s6.

  In step s6, the driving of the one-side shoulder motor 31a is stopped, and the posture changing process is ended.

  Also, when a person lying on the other side is drawn to the other side, the support member 24 disposed on the other side in the Y direction supports the shoulder of the right half of the person lying on the other side in this embodiment. The other is configured to be able to support the waist of the right half. Hereinafter, the support member 24 that can support the shoulder portion of the right half body is sometimes referred to as the other side shoulder support member 24c, and the support member 24 that can support the waist portion of the right half body is sometimes referred to as the other side waist portion support member 24d. The drive motor 31 that can drive the other shoulder support member 24c is referred to as the other shoulder drive motor 31c, and the drive motor 31 that can drive the other waist support member 24d is referred to as the other waist drive motor 31d. There is a case. By simultaneously driving the other side shoulder and waist drive motor 31b, the other side shoulder and waist support members 24c, 24d swing and displace, and lift the waist and shoulders of the right half of the person lying down, The arm and leg of the left half can be tilted around the fulcrum. At this time, the other shoulder portion and the waist support members 24c and 24d swing around the swing shaft 38 in accordance with the tilting motion of the shoulder and waist of the right half of the person lying down, and one surface in the thickness direction thereof. The tilting operation can be performed while the portion is in contact with the shoulder and waist of the right half body to be supported.

  Next, a hot air sending process for sending hot air will be described. The hot air sending process starts, and the process proceeds to step t1. In step t1, it is determined whether at least one of the left hot air switch 151 and the right hot air switch 152 has been operated to drive the hot air mechanism 79. If it judges, it will transfer to step t2.

  In step t2, if it is determined that the operation for driving the warm air mechanism 79 with the left warm air switch 151 is performed, the warm air mechanism 79 of the other warming means 76 is driven to send out the warm air. If the right hot air switch 151 determines that an operation to drive has been performed, the hot air mechanism 79 of the other heating means 76 is driven to send out hot air. Further, if it is determined that the left and right warm air switches 151 are operated to drive, the warm air mechanisms 79 of the two warming means 75 and 76 are driven to send the warm air. The warm air delivery will be described in detail. The heater 91 generates heat and the motor 88 is driven to rotate the fan 89. Accordingly, warm air is sent out from the opening hole 93 through the lath plate 92. The warm air sent flows along the covering means 98 and convection occurs in the inner space 99. As a result, the temperature of the inner space 99 rises. When the warm air is sent out, the process proceeds from step st1 to step t2.

  In step t2, it is determined whether or not an operation for stopping the driven hot air mechanism 79 has been performed. When the operation to stop is performed, the process proceeds to step t3, and when there is no operation to stop, the driving of the warm air mechanism 79 is continued and the process returns to step t2. At step t3, the driving of the warm air mechanism 79 is stopped. Thus, the hot air sending process is completed.

  The postural change process and the warm air sending process may be performed separately or simultaneously. The control unit 102 can perform the body posture conversion process and the hot air sending process in parallel. However, the processing is not limited to being performed in parallel, and the other processing may not be started until one processing is completed.

  The effect which the wiping apparatus 1 comprised in this way has is demonstrated. According to the wiping device 1 of the present embodiment, the support members 24 cooperate to support different parts of the body of the person lying down, for example, the shoulder and the waist, so that the person lying down is supported. Tilt. Since tilting is performed by the plurality of support members 24, it is possible to prevent the spine of a lying person from being twisted and damaged when tilting. In this way, it can be easily tilted only by being driven, and can be tilted safely. Moreover, since the means for supporting the person lying down is divided | segmented into the some support member 24, each support member 24 can be reduced in weight. As a result, the driving means for displacing each support member 24, that is, the posture changing mechanism 12, can be reduced in size, and the posture changing unit 2 can be reduced in size.

  In addition, since each support member 24 supports and tilts each part of the body, only by displacing each support member 24, a part of the body that is in contact with the base body 11, for example, the back and the base body 11. There can be a gap between them.
