Abstract

PURPOSE:To achieve the easy, carefree and safe wide-ranging utilization over many divergences by a disabled person, by parallelly arranging a bathtub, a pot and a wheelchair porch other than a bed and providing the life apparatus for the disabled person freely propelling along a ceiling. CONSTITUTION:When both cylinders 7 are operated from such a state that a bed 10 is present above a bathtub 4, the bed 10 is horizontally moved to the right to reach the position shown by a broken line (a). A limit switch is closed to operate a rotary apparatus 12 and the bed 10 is revolved downwardly around a rotary pivot shaft 13 to be tilted and displaced to the position shown by a broken line (b). Contrarily, the bed 10 at the position shown by the broken line (b) is revolved to the position shown by the broken line (a) by the rotary apparatus 12 and subsequently moved to the left by the operation of both cylinders 7 to be capable of being restored to the original position shown by a solid line above the bathtub 4. That is, the bed 10 can be retracted and stored laterally (in the right-hand direction) if necessary from the position above the bathtub 4. Girders 18 in left and right directions can run on the rails of the running beams 17, 17 on both left and right sides of the upper part of a running machine frame along a ceiling in the forward and rearward direction and a lift apparatus 20 for a handicapped person 21 capable of running along the ceiling in the before- and-behind and left-and-right directions is provided on the girders 18.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a welfare equipment unit for people who have impaired healthy activity functions, such as bedridden elderly people and physically disabled people.

(Prior Art) In recent years, our country has been transitioning to an aging society at a speed unprecedented in other countries. As a result, the number of bedridden elderly who require caregivers, the after-effects of stroke, and the physically disabled who are unable to function in a healthy manner due to aging, etc., is rapidly increasing.

However, there are special care beds for elderly and disabled people who have become unable to function in a healthy manner.

Currently, welfare care products such as nursing care bathtubs and nursing care toilets are only used in some hospitals, nursing care facilities, rehabilitation facilities, and the like.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Due to restrictions such as housing conditions in ordinary households, special beds and bathtubs have been created for people with disabilities.

Elderly people, people with disabilities, and their caregivers are in a state of great difficulty in their daily lives, with no access to toilet bowls, etc., and there is a strong desire for the development of appropriate and rational welfare equipment units.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made to solve the above problems and is constructed as follows.

That is, the present invention includes a traveling machine frame in which at least one bathtub toilet and a wheelchair stop are arranged side by side in the front and back direction on a floor plate equipped with casters, and a running machine frame provided on the bathtub and retracted to the side as necessary. With a retractable bed.

This welfare equipment unit includes a lift device for persons with disabilities that can travel on the ceiling at least in the front and back direction on the upper part of the travel frame.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings below. 1 is a rectangular floor plate 2 having casters 3 at the four corners of the lower surface. This is a traveling machine frame consisting of pillars at the four corners, a ceiling frame, etc. On the floor plate 2 of the traveling machine frame 1, there is a bathtub 4°, a toilet bowl 14, and a wheelchair stop S for a wheelchair 15 in the front-rear direction from the rear. They are arranged in parallel. Note that 16 is a slope.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a connecting plate having supporting plates 8 at both ends of the lower surface, and is integrally fixed to the front lower surfaces of front and rear cylinders 7.7 arranged in the left-right direction on both front and rear sides of the lower surface of the bed lo receiving plate 6, respectively. The above-mentioned front and rear support plates 8°8 are pivotally connected to support plates 9, 9 on the front and rear of the upper surface of the right side wall of the bathtub 4 by a rotation axis 13, and by one rotation of the rotation axis 13, the front and rear cylinders 7.
And the connecting plate 5 can be rotated in forward and reverse directions. Note that 12 is a rotating device that rotates the rotating shaft 13 in the forward and reverse directions at low speed. Further, front and rear guide protrusions 6a, 6a are provided on both front and rear sides of the upper surface of the receiving plate 6, respectively, for moving the bed 10 from a position above the bathtub 4 to the right. The ends of the rods 7a of the front and rear cylinders 7 are connected to the left end of the lower surface of the bed 10, and the bed 10 is moved horizontally in the left and right direction by operating the front and rear cylinders 7.

Note that 11 is a bed 10 installed on the upper surface of the left side wall of the bathtub 4.
This is the support plate. Therefore, if the rain cylinder 7 is operated from the state where the bed 10 is on the bathtub 4 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, the bed 10 will move horizontally to the right and move to the position indicated by the chain line A. Then, the limit switch is turned on and rotation device 1
2 is activated, the bed 1o is rotated downward about the rotation axis 13, and is tilted and displaced to the dotted line opening position. Conversely, the bed 10 at the entrance position indicated by the chain line can be rotated by the rotation device 12 to the position indicated by the chain line A, and then moved to the left by the operation of both cylinders 7 to restore it to the original position indicated by the solid line above the bathtub 4. be. That is, the bed 10 can be retracted from above the bathtub 4 to the side (tilt to the right) as needed.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a left-right girder that can travel on the ceiling in the front and back direction along the rails of the travel girders 17.17 on both left and right sides of the upper part of the traveling machine frame l. In the embodiment, an electric hoist) is provided. That is, a lift device 20 for a disabled person 21 is provided on the top of the traveling machine frame 1 and is capable of traveling on the ceiling in the front and rear directions and in the left and right directions. In the figure, 19 is a saddle, and 22 is a drain pipe of the bathtub 4.

(Effects of the Invention) As mentioned above, in addition to the bed, the welfare equipment unit of the present invention is equipped with two bathtubs and a wheelchair support, and is also equipped with a lift device for people with disabilities that can freely travel on the ceiling. This system allows people with disabilities to bathe or relieve themselves while lying down or sitting, or to move freely from bed to wheelchair or from wheelchair to bed. It has outstanding effects and can be used easily, comfortably, and safely by a wide variety of people, from those with disabilities to those with mild disabilities.

In addition, the bed is placed above the bathtub so that it can be moved to the side if necessary, so it is a space-saving type that does not take up much space, making it useful for elderly people.

It has excellent effects, such as making the daily lives of people with disabilities more comfortable. Furthermore, since each welfare item is compactly mounted on a traveling machine frame with casters, it can be moved freely indoors as needed, allowing for flexible and multipurpose use, and is relatively inexpensive. It has the advantage of being able to provide services to people, and brings good news to this world.
