【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、身体障害者や養護老人等の入浴に供される安全機能付き入浴装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来技術の実開平７−３７１７５号公報には、支柱、担架、脚部、昇降式ストレッチャー、昇降式浴槽、下方空間、浴槽本体、入浴装置、昇降式浴槽の底面又は昇降式ストレッチャーの上面に設けられるスイッチ、押圧部、制御回路等からなる入浴装置が開示されている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記従来装置は、上昇する浴槽が担架に衝突し担架を持ち上げると、担架に繋がる脚部も持ち上げられ、脚部に設けられたスイッチが浴槽に当たって作動させられ、浴槽が上昇を停止し、担架の損傷を回避するというものである。
【０００４】
前述の従来装置では、衝突を検出する部位が最初に衝突する衝突部位とは離れた異なる部位である。検出部位と衝突部位が同一部位でなく離れている故に衝突現象の検出の速さが劣り、及び正確さにも劣る。
【０００５】
本発明の目的は、上記課題を解決したものであり、入浴操作時の、入浴者の安全を図り、浴槽及び搬送車の破損を防ぎ、安全に入浴できる安全機能付き入浴装置を提供することにある。
【０００６】
【課題を解決しようとする手段】
即ち本発明は、入浴する湯を溜める浴槽（３）と、入浴者を載せた載部（４）を該浴槽（３）に進入させて入浴を行なう搬送車（５）とからなり、少なくとも前記浴槽（３）又は載部（４）のいずれかを昇降させて入浴する入浴装置（１）において、昇降する側の装置に昇降位置センサー部（６）及び該センサー部（６）の検知信号により作動する昇降制御部（５４）を設け、昇降位置センサー部（６）は、浴槽高さセンサー（９）と浴槽高さ記憶機能（２４）、及び／又は搬送車高さセンサー（１０）と搬送車高さ記憶機能（２９）とからなり、該高さセンサー（９）（１０）の検出値が該記憶機能（２４）（２９）に予め記憶された所定の高さに至ると昇降する側の装置に係る昇降部材が自動停止し、浴槽（３）と載部（４）の衝突を防止し入浴動作を安全に行なえる安全機能付き入浴装置である。又、前記浴槽（３）及び搬送車（５）が昇降可能である入浴装置（１）において、昇降可能な浴槽（３）及び昇降可能な搬送車（５）の両機器にそれぞれ昇降位置センサー部（６）が設けられ、両機器には、昇降位置センサー部（６）から得た自己機器の高さを互いに相手機器に報知する報知手段（４５）、及び、両機器の高さを比較する高さ比較器（４４）が設けられ、浴槽（３）の底面（３７）と載部（４）との衝突を防止するように、前記昇降可能な浴槽（３）と昇降可能な搬送車（５）が所定の距離に接近すると高さ比較器（４４）が作動し浴槽（３）又は搬送車（５）の昇降作動が停止する。更に、前記浴槽（３）及び／又は搬送車（５）が昇降可能である入浴装置（１）において、浴槽（３）と搬送車（５）の衝突を防止するように、搬送車（５）を所定位置に係止すると浴槽（３）及び／又は搬送車（５）が昇降可能となる位置決めセンサー部（１４）を床（１３）に設けることを特徴とする。更に又、浴槽（３）の下部に、搬送車（５）の脚部が差し込まれる切り欠き（１８）が設けられ、搬送車（５）と浴槽（３）の衝突を防止するように、浴槽（３）と搬送車（５）の両機器に亘って、搬送車（５）が浴槽（３）の所定位置に接合すると作動する中央検出部（２０）が設けられ、該中央検出部（２０）は、搬送車（５）の脚部（１７）に設けられる中央被検出器（２１）と、浴槽（３）の裏面２７における切り欠き（１８）の平面視略中央位置の一箇所に設けられ、浴槽（３）の正面側から又は背面側から近づく前記中央被検出器（２１）を検出する中央検出器（２２）とからなり、前記中央検出部（２０）が作動すると、浴槽（３）及び／又は搬送車（５）が昇降可能となる。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の入浴装置１は、筐体２でなる昇降可能な浴槽３と入浴者を運び入浴者を浴槽３に入れる昇降可能な搬送車５とから構成する。
入浴に際して、搬送車５を浴槽３に横着けし、搬送車５に設けられる載部４を前記浴槽３内の上方に移動させ、前記浴槽３を上昇させ、前記載部４上の入浴者を入浴させる。
【０００８】
浴槽３に設けられた昇降位置センサー部６の浴槽高さセンサー９は、浴槽３の高さを検出する。
昇降位置センサー部６の浴槽高さ記憶機能２４は、予め設定した浴槽３の高さを記憶する。
【０００９】
昇降可能な浴槽３と非昇降の搬送車５の組み合わせ（＝第１の組み合わせ）でなる入浴装置１では、前記昇降可能な浴槽３が所定の高さに至ると、昇降位置センサー部６及び昇降制御部５４が作動し、浴槽３の昇降作動が停止する。
【００１０】
非昇降の浴槽３と昇降可能な搬送車５の組み合わせ（＝第２の組み合わせ）でなる入浴装置１では、前記昇降可能な搬送車５が所定の高さに至ると、昇降位置センサー部６及び昇降制御部５４が作動し、搬送車５の昇降作動が停止する。
【００１１】
浴槽３又は搬送車５を昇降作動させている時、上述のように、浴槽３又は搬送車５の昇降作動が停止するので、浴槽３の底面３７と載部４との衝突を防止できる。
【００１２】
前記浴槽３及び搬送車５が共に昇降可能（＝第３の組み合わせ）である入浴装置１において、浴槽３及び搬送車５の両機器にそれぞれ設けられる昇降位置センサー部６は、浴槽３及び搬送車５の高さを検出する。
【００１３】
両機器に設けられる報知手段４５は互いに自己機器の高さを相手機器に報知する。両機器に設けられる高さ比較器４４は、両機器の高さを比較する。
【００１４】
前記昇降可能な浴槽３の底面３７と昇降可能な搬送車５の載部４とが所定の距離に接近すると高さ比較器４４が作動し浴槽３又は搬送車５の昇降作動が停止し、底面３７と載部４との衝突を防止できる。
【００１５】
浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５は昇降可能である装置において、位置決めセンサー部１４の位置決め具１５は、床１３に設けられ浴槽３に接近してきた搬送車５を所定位置に係止する。
位置決めセンサー部１４の位置センサー１６は、搬送車５が、所定位置に至ったこと即ちセッティングできたことを検出する。
【００１６】
前記搬送車５が前記所定位置に至り、正規の位置にセッティングできると位置決めセンサー部１４が作動し、浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５が昇降可能となり、浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５を昇降させている時に、浴槽３と搬送車５の衝突を防止できる。
【００１７】
浴槽３の下部に設けられる切り欠き１８は、差し込まれる搬送車５の脚部１７を収容する。
浴槽３と搬送車５の両機器に亘って設けられる中央検出部２０は搬送車５が浴槽３の所定位置に至ると作動する。
【００１８】
即ち、中央検出部２０は中央検出器２２と中央被検出器２１からなり、浴槽３の裏面２７における平面視略中央位置に設けられる中央検出器２２は、搬送車５の脚部１７に設けられる中央被検出器２１の接近を検出する。
【００１９】
前記搬送車５が浴槽３の所定位置に接合されると前記中央検出部２０が作動し、浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５が昇降可能となり、浴槽３及び搬送車５を昇降させている時に搬送車５と浴槽３の衝突を防止できる。
【００２０】
【実施例】
図１、２、３、４に本発明の第１実施例を示す。入浴装置１は、筐体２でなる浴槽３と、載部４を有し該浴槽３に載部４を進入させて入浴を行なう搬送車５とからなる。

【００２８】
位置決めセンサー部１４を浴槽３にステー５６により連結し浴槽３と離間して床１３に置く。位置決めセンサー部１４の設置に係る他の例としては、該センサー部１４を浴槽３と離間して床１３に固定する。
前記搬送車５が前記所定位置に至ると位置決めセンサー部１４が作動し、浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５が昇降可能となり、浴槽３と搬送車５の衝突を防止できる。
【００２９】
次に、搬送車５の位置決めを、後記するガイド１９及び中央検出部２０で行なうものを説明する。
浴槽３の下部に、搬送車５の脚部１７が差し込まれる切り欠き１８が設けられる。切り欠き１８には、脚部１７を所定位置へ案内するガイド１９が設けられる。

【００３１】
前記搬送車５が浴槽３の所定位置に接合されると前記中央検出部２０が作動し、浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５が昇降可能となり、搬送車５と浴槽３の衝突を防止できる。具体的一例では、搬送車５の載部４と浴槽３の縁２３との衝突を防止できる。
【００３２】
次に、図４に基づいて電気的構成を示すブロック図を説明する。
昇降位置センサー部６は、浴槽３の高さ具体的には浴槽３の上縁２３の高さを検出する浴槽高さセンサー９と、搬送車５の高さ具体的には搬送車５の載部４の高さを検出する搬送車高さセンサー１０とを擁する。浴槽高さセンサー９は、具体的にはポテンショメーター３３等で作られる。
【００３３】
浴槽高さセンサー９の出力は、予め浴槽高さ値を入力している浴槽高さ記憶機能２４へ至る。
浴槽高さ記憶機能２４の出力の一方は、浴槽３の高さを搬送車５へ無線信号をもって報知する浴槽報知手段７へ至る。浴槽高さ記憶機能２４の出力の他方は浴槽３を昇降制御する浴槽昇降制御部２５へ至る。
【００３４】
浴槽報知手段７の出力は予め浴槽３と搬送車５の間隔値を入力している浴槽用高さ比較器８へ至る。
浴槽間隔センサー部２６は浴槽報知手段７と浴槽用高さ比較器８でなる。
【００３５】
浴槽昇降制御部２７の出力は浴槽３を昇降させる浴槽昇降機２８へ至る。中央検出器２２の出力は浴槽昇降制御部２５へ至る。
搬送車高さセンサー１０の出力は、予め搬送車５の高さを入力している搬送車高さ記憶機能２９へ至る。
【００３６】
搬送車高さ記憶機能２９の出力の一方は搬送車５の高さを浴槽３へ無線信号をもって報知する搬送車報知手段１１へ至る。搬送車高さ記憶機能２９の出力の他方は搬送車５を昇降制御する搬送車昇降制御部３０へ至る。
【００３７】
昇降制御部５４は、浴槽昇降制御部２５と、搬送車昇降制御部３０の総称である。
搬送車報知手段１１の出力は搬送車用高さ比較器１２へ至る。搬送車間隔センサー部３１は搬送車報知手段１１と搬送車用高さ比較器１２でなる。
【００３８】
報知手段４５は、浴槽報知手段７と搬送車報知手段１１の総称である。又、高さ比較器４４は、浴槽用高さ比較器８と搬送車用高さ比較器１２の総称である。
【００３９】
搬送車昇降制御部３０の出力は搬送車５を昇降させる搬送車昇降機３２へ至る。
昇降機５５は浴槽昇降機２８と搬送車昇降機３２の総称である。
中央被検出器２１の出力は搬送車昇降制御部３０へ至る。中央検出部２０は中央検出器２２と中央被検出器２１でなる。
【００４０】
安全機能４６は、前記中央検出部２０と、昇降位置センサー部６と、位置決めセンサー部１４と、報知手段４５と、高さ比較器４４等から構成される。
【００４１】
尚、図２中、５６はステー、図４中、４７は浴槽上限スイッチ、４８は浴槽下限スイッチ、４９は載部上限スイッチ、５０は載部下限スイッチである。
【００４２】
第１実施例を使用して入浴する際は、搬送車５に取着された載部４を水平状にて下降させ、入浴者を療養寝台等から載部４に移乗させる。移乗後、背載置部３５を持ち上げ前傾リクライニング姿勢にする。然る後に、搬送車５を走行移動させ、湯を満たした浴槽３に接近し、載部４を上昇させる。
【００４３】
次に、搬送車５の脚部１７を、浴槽３の切欠き１８へ差し込み、該搬送車５を浴槽３の横側にセットする。
次に、浴槽３のみを上昇させて入浴する状況を述べる。搬送車５を浴槽３に対して適正位置にセットすると、脚部１７の中央被検出器２１がガイド１９の中央検出器２２に当接し該中央検出器２２が作動する。
【００４４】
中央検出器２２が作動すると、浴槽３は昇降可能状態になり、該状態下で操作者は浴槽上昇スイッチ３６を押し、浴槽３を上昇させ、入浴者を湯中に暫時浸け、入浴を行なう。
【００４５】
通常、搬送車５を上限位置に固定して入浴するため、浴槽３が上限まで上昇しても、載部４に浴槽３の底面３７が当たらないが、載部４が少し下がった位置に固定されていて、その状態下で入浴作動をなした時に、通常通りに浴槽３が上昇し該浴槽３の底面３７が、載部４に異状接近し作動すると、浴槽用高さ比較器８が作動し、浴槽３の上昇が停止する。
【００４６】
退浴時は、操作者は浴槽下降スイッチ３８を押し浴槽３を下降させ、入浴者及び載部４を湯から出し、搬送車５を浴槽３から引き離すと共に、浴槽３の上方に位置した載部４を浴槽３から離す。
【００４７】
入浴を終了した後、載部下降スイッチ４２を操作して載部４を下降させ、必要に応じて背載置部３５を水平にし、搬送車５を走行移動させ、入浴者を療養寝台へ移乗する。
【００４８】
次に、上述入浴操作とは相違して、載部４の方を下降させ、浴槽３を下限位置に固定して入浴する状況を述べる。
入浴者を乗せた搬送車５を浴槽３に正しくセッティングすると、搬送車５は下降可能状態になる。
載部下降スイッチ４２を操作し、載部４のみを下降させ、入浴者を浴槽３内の湯に浸け、入浴を行なう。
【００４９】
浴槽３が下限位置にあれば、載部４は底面にぶつかることなく下限位置まで下降できる。しかし、浴槽３が下限位置よりやや上昇した位置に停止していた場合には、載部４は底面３７との距離が予め入力した所定値になると、搬送車用高さ比較器１２が浴槽３の底面３７高さ（＝相手の高さ）と載部４高さ（＝自己の高さ）を比較しその結果搬送車用高さ比較器１２が作動し、載部４は下降を停止する。
【００５０】
退浴時は、載部上昇スイッチ４３を操作し、載部４を上昇させ、入浴者を浴槽３から出し、入浴者を適宜位置へ搬送し、入浴を終る。
【００５１】
上述のような昇降する側の装置のみを昇降させて載部４と浴槽３を近づける操作とは異なる操作例として、載部４も浴槽３も積極的に動かして入浴する場合を述べると、浴槽３を介助に好適な適宜高さに上昇させて停止させておき、次に、載部４を適宜距離下降させて浴槽３内に入れる。浴槽３の上昇距離、及び載部４の下降距離は使用時に適宜に選択する。
【００５２】
又、第１の組み合わせの入浴装置１の場合は、非昇降の載部４に向けて昇降式の浴槽３のみ上昇させて、載部４を浴槽３へ入れ入浴する。第２の組み合わせの入浴装置１の場合は、非昇降式の浴槽３に向けて昇降式の載部４のみ下降させて、該載部４を浴槽部４へ入れ入浴する。
【００５３】
図５に示す第２実施例は、第１実施例における搬送車５を非昇降式の跨ぎ式搬送車３９に代え、中央検出部２０を頭側・足側検出部４０・４１に代えたものである。
【００５４】
第２実施例では、跨ぎ式搬送車３９を移動させ、脚部１７を浴槽３の頭側・足側に位置させ、浴槽３を跨ぎ式搬送車３９が跨ぐ。跨ぎ式搬送車３９が浴槽３の好適位置にセッティングできると頭側・足側検出部４０・４１が作動し、浴槽昇降機２８が作動可能状態となる。
上述のセッティングを行なった後、浴槽上昇スイッチ３６を押し、浴槽３を上昇させ、入浴を行なう。
【００５５】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、昇降する側の装置に昇降位置センサー部６及び該センサー部６の検知信号により作動する昇降制御部５４を設け、昇降位置センサー部６は、浴槽高さセンサー９と浴槽高さ記憶機能２４、及び／又は搬送車高さセンサー１０と搬送車高さ記憶機能２９とからなり、該高さセンサー９、１０の検出値が該記憶機能２４、２９に予め記憶された所定の高さに至ると昇降する側の装置に係る該昇降部材が自動停止し、浴槽（３）と載部（４）の衝突を防止し入浴動作を安全に行なえるようにするものである。本発明が昇降可能な浴槽３と非昇降の搬送車５の組み合わせ（＝第１の組み合わせ）でなる入浴装置では、前記昇降可能な浴槽３が所定の高さに至ると、昇降位置センサー部６が作動し浴槽３の昇降作動が停止する。
【００５６】
上記構成によれば、浴槽３の底面３７の高さを予め載部４の高さよりやや低く設定しておけば、浴槽３の底面３７と載部４との衝突を防止でき、好都合である。
又、非昇降の浴槽３と昇降可能な搬送車５の組み合わせ（＝第２の組み合わせ）でなる入浴装置１では、前記昇降可能な搬送車５が所定の高さに至ると、昇降位置センサー部６が作動し搬送車５の昇降作動が停止する。
【００５７】
上記構成によれば、載部４の下限高さを予め浴槽３の高さよりやや高く設定しておけば、浴槽３の底面３７と載部４との衝突を防止でき、好都合である。
【００５８】
又、浴槽３及び搬送車５の高さが高さの下限位置から上限位置までの間であれば、昇降位置センサー部６へ予め人為的に入力する入力値で、機器を適宜高さに停止でき、高さ設定に係る自由度が増し、好都合である。
【００５９】
本発明に係る浴槽３及び搬送車５の両機器には、昇降位置センサー部６から得た自己機器の高さを互いに相手機器に報知する報知手段４５、及び、両機器の高さを比較する高さ比較器４４が設けられる。第３の組み合わせでなる入浴装置１の場合、昇降可能な浴槽３と昇降可能な搬送車５が所定の距離に接近すると高さ比較器４４が作動し浴槽３又は搬送車５の昇降作動が停止する。
【００６０】
上記構成によれば、予め所定の間隔値を高さ比較器４４に入力しておけば浴槽３の底面３７と載部４とに当該間隔値が取れ、浴槽３の底面３７と載部４との衝突を防止でき、好都合である。
【００６１】
また、高さ比較器４４等への入力を、予め人為的な入力操作による簡単な操作で適宜変更でき、前記両機器の高さ、両機器相互の接近距離等を適宜調整でき、設定に係る自由度が増し、好都合である。
【００６２】
本発明は、床１３に位置決めセンサー部１４が設けられ、前記位置決めセンサー部１４は、搬送車５を所定位置に係止する位置決め具１５と、搬送車５の存在を検出する位置センサー１６とからなり、前記搬送車５が前記所定位置に至ると位置決めセンサー部１４が作動し、浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５が昇降可能となる。
【００６３】
上記構成によれば、浴槽３に搬送車５をドッキングする時、搬送車５が浴槽３の好適位置に来た時にのみ浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５が昇降可能となるので、昇降時に浴槽３と搬送車５の衝突を防止でき安全であり機器の損傷を防げ、又、位置決めセンサー部１４の設置及び位置変が容易であり、好都合である。
【００６４】
本発明に係る中央検出部２０は、搬送車５の脚部１７に設けられる中央被検出器２１と、浴槽３の裏面２７における平面視略中央位置に設けられ前記中央被検出器２１の接近を検出する中央検出器２２とからなり、前記搬送車５が浴槽３の所定位置に接合されると前記中央検出部２０が作動し、浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５が昇降可能となる。
【００６５】
上記構成によれば、浴槽３に搬送車５をドッキングする時、搬送車５が浴槽３の好適位置に来た時にのみ浴槽３及び／又は搬送車５が昇降可能となるので、浴槽３と搬送車５の衝突を防止でき、好都合である。
又、従来装置では搬送車５のセッティングを検出する検出器を、浴槽３の左右に設け２個必要であったが、本発明では中央検出部２０を中央に１組設けるだけでよく、製作、保守等の簡素化、及び経費の節減が図れ、好都合である。
