Description

本発明は、高齢者のうち下肢の筋力が弱った要介護・要支援の高齢者が入浴後に、身体を乾燥させる動作と、下着やズボンに着替える時の動作を介助する介護支援機器として使用することのできる、立ち上がり機能付きで下腹部や臀部周辺、足指間の乾燥を行なうのに便利である椅子型の身体乾燥機能付き介助装置に関するものである。そして、浴室から脱衣室の椅子に腰かけて介助装置の温風により身体(特に局部と足の指先)の乾燥をさせることを目的としたものである。更に、介助装置内のヒーターからの温風を脱衣室内にも送風し、浴室と脱衣室の温度差を解消し、入浴時に入浴者の脳卒中等の身体発作を起こす事を予防することを目的とした介護支援機器の分野に属するものである。   INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is used as a care support device for assisting the operation of drying the body after taking a bath and the operation of changing to underwear or pants after taking a bath, among elderly people who need care / support with lower limb strength The present invention relates to a chair-type assisting device with a body drying function that is convenient for drying between the lower abdomen and the buttocks and between the toes. And it aims at drying a body (especially a local part and a toe of a toe) with the warm air of an assistance apparatus by sitting on the chair of a dressing room from a bathroom. Furthermore, the purpose is to prevent the occurrence of body attacks such as stroke of the bather during bathing by blowing the warm air from the heater in the assisting device into the dressing room, eliminating the temperature difference between the bathroom and the dressing room. Belongs to the field of care support equipment.

従来、入浴に用いる介助機器は浴室内での移動や移乗(手すり・バスグリップ)の介助を目的とするものや、入浴中の安定を図る入浴介助椅子(シャワーチェアー・シャワーキャリー)等があった。そして、従来施設での入浴介助は、浴室から上がる時には、脱衣室に椅子を置きバスタオルを引いて、流れ作業で身体を拭いていただけのものが一般的であり、乾燥しにくい下腹部や臀部周辺、足指間の乾燥はなおざりにされている傾向にあった。また、被介護者の中には自分の下腹部や臀部周辺を、介護者である他人に拭いてもらうというのには非常に抵抗を持つ人もいて乾燥が充分にできないという問題もあった。今回の入浴後に用いられる立ち上がり機能付きで下腹部や臀部周辺、足指間の乾燥をする椅子型の身体乾燥器機能付の介助装置は従来からの介助椅子には無かったもので、本発明者は入浴後の身体乾燥(特に局部・足先の指の隙間等)と更衣の時の立ち上がり動作をサポートする点に着目し、細かな配慮をした新しい介護ニーズに対応するべく創案された発明である。これに類似した文献としては例えば、特許文献1の「着席立脚幇助椅子」や特許文献2の「熱気浴利用者用腰掛台」が存在していた。   Conventionally, assisting devices used for bathing have been designed to assist in movement and transfer (handrails, bath grips) in the bathroom, and bathing assisting chairs (shower chairs / shower carry) to ensure stability during bathing. . And when bathing assistance in conventional facilities, when you get out of the bathroom, it is common to place a chair in the dressing room, pull a bath towel, and wipe the body by flowing work, the lower abdomen and buttocks that are difficult to dry The dryness between the periphery and toes tended to be neglected. In addition, some care recipients are very resistant to having their lower abdomen or hips wiped by another caregiver, and there is a problem that drying is not sufficient. The chair-type assisting device with a body dryer function that dries between the lower abdomen and the buttocks and the toes used after this bathing was not found in conventional assisting chairs. Is an invention that was devised to respond to new care needs with careful consideration, focusing on supporting dryness after bathing (especially gaps between local and toe fingers) and rising movements when changing clothes. is there. As a document similar to this, for example, there is “Sitting Standing Leg Assist Chair” of Patent Document 1 and “Seat Board for Hot Air Bath Users” of Patent Document 2.

上記の特許文献1に見られるものは、単に部屋の中での起上りの時に椅子が
上昇し、立ち上がりの動作を介助するだけのものであった。その為、入浴が終わって更衣する時には介護職員の首や上半身などの身体や福祉用具を支えとし、不安定な状態で体を拭いたり、不安定な状態でのズボンの脱ぎ着作業が行われていた。
次の特許文献2に見られるものは、使用者が椅子型の腰掛けに座って身体の各所に座席下からの送風を受けている点で本発明の形態に似ているものの、この特許文献2のものは温浴用としての全身サウナを目的とするもので、身体乾燥を目的とする本発明とは解決課題が異なるものである。
今回の立ち上がり機能付きで下腹部や臀部周辺、足指間の乾燥をさせる椅子型の身体乾燥機能付き介助装置は、従来では装備されていなかった利用者の身体の自動乾燥の機能が設けてあり、介護者が従来は介護しづらい下腹部や臀部周辺部分の乾燥(局部乾燥や足の指の隙間の乾燥)の介護支援を楽に行う事が出来る様になった。また、この椅子型の身体乾燥機能付き介助装置を使用すると、椅子に座りながら自動的に身体乾燥が出来、椅子から立ち上りする時にも、立ち上りのアシスト機能があり、介護者が更衣の介助をする時の精神的負担感(転倒事故発生のリスク)の軽減をはかることができる。
What is found in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 merely raises the chair when getting up in the room and assists the rising action. Therefore, when changing clothes after bathing, the body and welfare equipment such as the neck and upper body of the care worker are supported, and the body is wiped in an unstable state or the trousers are removed in an unstable state. It was.
Although what is seen in the following patent document 2 is similar to the form of the present invention in that the user sits on a chair-type stool and receives air blown from under the seat to various parts of the body, this patent document 2 These are intended for use as a whole body sauna for hot baths, and are different from the present invention for the purpose of drying the body.
This chair-type assisting device with body drying function that dries between the lower abdomen and the buttocks and toes with this standing-up function has a function of automatic drying of the user's body that was not equipped conventionally The caregiver can now easily provide care support for drying the lower abdomen and the area around the buttocks, which is difficult to care for (local drying and drying of the gaps between the toes). Also, if you use this chair-type assistance device with body drying function, you can dry your body automatically while sitting in the chair, and when you get up from the chair, there is an assist function to get up, and the caregiver will assist you in changing clothes. It is possible to reduce the mental burden of time (risk of occurrence of a fall accident).

また、介助装置に装備される身体の自動乾燥の機能を活用して暖房機能を強化し、浴室と脱衣室の温度差を解消して入浴者の脳血管の急速な伸縮を防止、入浴中の脳梗塞等の発作の防止を図る事に寄与できる。さらに、座椅子の下に身体の細胞に有効な波長のLED光等を直接照射させる仕組みを作り、身体乾燥を行う時に、身体に良い波長のLED光の照射を股間部分(特に粘膜)に10〜20分程度照射し、健康の増進を図る事も目的としている。   In addition, the heating function is enhanced by utilizing the automatic drying function of the body equipped in the assistance device, eliminating the temperature difference between the bathroom and the dressing room to prevent rapid expansion and contraction of the bather's cerebral blood vessels. It can contribute to the prevention of stroke such as cerebral infarction. In addition, a system that directly irradiates the cells of the body with LED light having an effective wavelength under the sitting chair, and when drying the body, LED light with a wavelength that is good for the body is applied to the crotch part (especially the mucous membrane). The aim is to promote health by irradiating for 10-20 minutes.

身体に良い波長のLED光の照射としては、各種機関により多くの研究が進められているが、例えば、ウィスコンシン医科大学によるLED光による治癒効果の検証によると、「負傷兵に関する結果」として、米海軍の負傷兵に対するものとしては、訓練中の負傷兵にLEDを使った場合に、回復率が40%以上も向上、原子力潜水艦『ソルトレークシティー』では、ケガ人に携帯型のLED照射器を使ったところ、全快までの時間が半分に短縮とのこと、また、「筋肉細胞への影響」として、680・730・880ナノメートルの波長を持つLED光を一度照射しただけで、筋肉細胞におけるDNA合成が5倍になると言う実験データ、及び、「糖尿病による神経障害への影響」として、糖尿病における神経障害を持つ200人余りの患者にLED光を40分間を10回ほど続けたところ、患者の95%が足にいくらか感覚が戻ったと言い3分の2近くの神経障害が完全に正常に戻ったと言う実験データが紹介されてあり。(インターネット記事「毛髪培養新聞 毛髪再生医療の現在 LED光の効果に関する研究」より、抜粋掲載)これらより、LED光の照射効果が伺える。   Many studies have been conducted by various institutions on the irradiation of LED light with a wavelength that is good for the body. For example, according to the verification of the healing effect of LED light by the Wisconsin Medical University, As for Navy wounded soldiers, the recovery rate improved by more than 40% when using LEDs for injured soldiers during training. The nuclear submarine “Salt Lake City” uses portable LED irradiators for injured people. As a result, it is said that the time to completeness is shortened by half, and as “influence on muscle cells”, DNA in muscle cells can be obtained by irradiating LED light having wavelengths of 680, 730, and 880 nanometers once. Experimental data saying that the synthesis will be 5 times, and “effects on neuropathy caused by diabetes”, LED lighting for 40 minutes to more than 200 patients with neuropathy in diabetes After 10 trials, 95% of the patients said that some sense of sensation had returned to their feet, and experimental data that almost two-thirds of neuropathies had returned to normal were introduced. (Excerpted from the Internet article “Research on the effect of LED light on the current topic of hair culture newspaper hair regeneration medicine”) From these, we can see the irradiation effect of LED light.

介助椅子のカバーは、交換可能なタイプとして、ブラックシリカルやトルマリン等の素材を使用するようにすると、人体に有効な温熱効果が発揮されて健康効果に寄与させることができる。   If a cover such as black silica or tourmaline is used as a replaceable type cover for the assistance chair, a thermal effect effective for the human body can be exhibited and contribute to a health effect.
