Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bed with a turning function which is used by bedridden elderly people, long-term bed caregivers and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various nursing beds have been proposed for bedridden elderly people, long-term bed caregivers and the like.

[0003]

However, in the case of the conventional nursing care bed, there is a problem that a sick person or the like who sleeps in the bed is difficult to turn over, and his back is hurt or bed sore occurs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bed with a turning function, which can be easily turned over and can prevent bed sores and the like.

[0005]

A bed with a turning function according to the present invention comprises a bed main body and a mat provided on the bed main body, and the back facing part of the mat is divided from the center to the left and right, The split mats are rotatable about their adjacent side edges, and the left and right split mats are rotated about the axis by a rotating means.

[0006]

According to the bed with a turning function of the present invention, the back-to-face portion of the mat is divided into left and right parts, and the left and right divided mats are made rotatable by the rotating means about their adjacent side edges as axes. Therefore, by rotating the split mat on one side upwards, the back is lifted half and you can turn over.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. In FIG. 1, 10 is a bed main body and 11 is a mat. The mat 11 is divided into left and right divided mats 13 and 14 with the head-to-face portion 12 left.

As shown in FIG. 2, the left and right mats 13 and 14 are rotatably provided with their adjacent side edges as axes 15 and 16.

The structure of the mat 13 is shown in FIG. First, the shaft 15 is penetrated and fixed between the both ends of the mat 13. A gear 17 is fixed to the shaft 15, and a gear 19 fixed to a rotation shaft of a motor 18 installed in the bed body 10 and capable of rotating in the normal direction is meshed with the gear 17. The gears 17, 19 and the motor 18 constitute a rotating means 20.

The mat 13 has protrusions 1 at both ends of the shaft 15.
5'and 15 'are rotatably fixed to a side plate of the bed body 10 and a mat receiver (not shown), and are provided on the bed body 10. The mat 14 has the same structure.

Next, the operation of the bed with the turning function will be described. In FIG. 2, the right split mat 13 is rotated as shown by the solid line, and the left split mat 14 is kept horizontal as shown by the imaginary line so that the person sleeping on the bed can see the right side of his back. Half is lifted and you can roll over to the left.

On the contrary, by turning only the left split mat 14 as shown by the imaginary line, the right turn can be turned over.

According to the bed with a turning function constructed in this manner, the split mats 13 and 14 are turned by the turning means 20 so that the back is lifted and the person can easily turn over. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the back from being hurt and the bedsore from occurring.

FIG. 4 shows a modification of the rotating means.
In the figure, reference numeral 21 denotes a rotating means, which is composed of a motor 22 and a shaft 23 that expands and contracts by the rotation of the motor 22, and the tip of the shaft 23 is locked to the lower surface of the split mat 14. The shaft 23 is formed by externally fitting the outer shaft portion to the inner shaft portion, forming a thread groove on the outer surface of the inner shaft portion, and screwing the outer shaft portion into the inner shaft portion. The outer shaft portion is configured to move along the inner shaft portion by the rotation of the inner shaft portion fixed to the rotation shaft of the motor 22 to expand and contract the shaft 23.
The rotating means 21 is installed in the bed body 10, and the mat 14 is rotated around the shaft 16 by the expansion and contraction of the shaft 23.

Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In the bed with a turning function of this embodiment, the mat 25 includes a pillow portion 26 facing the head and split mats 27, 2 facing the back.
It is divided into eight and foot portions 29.

The pillow portion 26 is rotatable about an axis 30 and has a rotating means (not shown) like the example shown in FIGS.
It can be rotated by and adjusted to any height.

The split mats 27, 28 have an axial center 3
It can be rotated around 1, 32. Further, the foot portion 29 is moved up and down by the up and down moving means (not shown).

[0018]

According to the bed with a turning function of the present invention, the back-to-face portion of the mat is divided into left and right parts, and the left and right divided mats can be rotated by the rotating means with their adjacent side edges as axes. Therefore, by rotating the split mat on one side upward, the back is lifted by half, and it is possible to easily turn over, and it is possible to obtain an effect that it is possible to prevent a back pain, a bed sore, and the like.
