【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a front view showing a human body moving device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention together with a bed 2. As shown in FIG. 1, the human body moving apparatus 1 includes a pair of upright columns 3 and 4 which stand upright with a predetermined space between them, in this embodiment, a space exceeding the longitudinal dimension of the bed 2. Prepare Details of the configuration relating to this one support column 3 are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views showing the inside of the support column 3 and the like, FIG. 2 is a front view, and FIG. 3 is a left side view. FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG.

Base members 5 and 6 are provided at the lower ends of the columns 3 and 4, respectively. A plurality of wheels 8 and 9 capable of rolling on the floor 7 are attached to the base members 5 and 6, respectively. Although not shown, rails may be laid on the floor surface 7, the wheels 8 and 9 may roll on the rails, and the rolling paths of the wheels 8 and 9 may be restricted by the rails.

By keeping the distance between the pair of columns 3 and 4 constant, the positional relationship between the pair of base members 5 and 6 is kept constant, so that the upper ends of the columns 3 and 4 are connected to each other. They are connected to each other by rods 10.

A support member 11 for supporting a human body is attached so as to be movable along the columns 3 and 4 and to be stopped at the moved position. The support member 11 comprises two parallel side bars 12 and 13 extending between a pair of stanchions 3 and 4, respectively.

With reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, a configuration relating to one of the columns 3 will be described. The configuration related to the other support column 4 is substantially the same as the configuration related to the support column 3 except where noted.

A motor 14 having a braking function is mounted inside the base member 5, and the rotation of the motor 14 is transmitted to a sprocket wheel 18 via a pulley 15, a belt 16 and a pulley 17. Another sprocket wheel 19 is provided at the upper end of the column 3, and a chain 20 is wound around these sprocket wheels 18 and 19. The chain 20 has two paths extending in the longitudinal direction of the column 3, and the drive body 22 is fixed to the chain 20 via a fixture 21 at one point on one path. Therefore, the driving body 22 is driven by the motor 14 so as to move along the column 3.

A guide rail 23 extending in the up-down direction along the support column 3 is fixed. A driven body 24 is provided so as to be movable along the guide rail 23. A plurality of pairs of rollers 25, for example, two pairs of rollers, which sandwich the guide rail 23 and roll on the guide rail 23, are rotatably attached to the driven body 24. The driven body 24 is placed on the drive body 22 so as to be separable from the drive body 22.

The bracket portion 26 formed on the driven body 24 projects from the column 3 through a slot 27 formed over the column 3 in the longitudinal direction. The side bars 12 and 13 described above are held by the bracket portion 26. More specifically, an attachment 29 is fixed to the bracket portion 26 by, for example, two pins 28. Each end of each of the side bars 12 and 13 is bent in a direction toward the fitting 29, and these ends are fixed to the fitting 29 while being received by the fitting 29.

Although the configuration related to one of the columns 3 has been described above, the other column 4 is also related to the column 3 except elements corresponding to the motor 14, the pulley 15, the belt 16 and the pulley 17. Elements corresponding to the elements provided are provided. In order to allow the driving force of the motor 14 to be transmitted to the side of the other column 4 as well, the rotation of the sprocket wheel 19 is changed by the corresponding sprocket wheel provided on the side of the column 4 via the synchronous shaft 30. Be transmitted to. The synchronizing shaft 30 is arranged inside the connecting rod 10 described above.

Next, a method of using the human body moving device 1 will be described. FIG. 5 shows a typical state in which the sick person is held by using the two side bars 12 and 13. As shown in FIG. 5, the sick person or the like is held by the two side bars 12 and 13 through the plurality of hanger shovels 31 in a lying position.

The hanger shovel 31 is made of a relatively rigid material such as hard plastic, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel. The hanger shovel 31 is provided with a curved shape so as to form an L shape as a whole, and a hook portion 32 capable of engaging with one of the side bars 12 and 13 is formed at one end thereof. It

Such a hanger shovel 31 has its bottom surface portion 33 extending in the horizontal direction inserted under the body of, for example, a sick person lying on the bed 2 (FIG. 1), and then the hook. The hook portion 32 is engaged with one of the side bars 12 and 13. The plurality of hanger shovels 31 are appropriately distributed on both sides of the body of the sick person or the like in consideration of the weight of the sick person or the like.

The hanger shovel 31 described above is advantageous in that it can be inserted under the body of the sick person or the like without lifting the sick person or the like.

Through the hanger shovel 31, as shown in FIG. 5, in a state in which a sick person or the like is held by the two side bars 12 and 13, the motor 14 is driven to vertically move the driving body 22. If it is moved, the sick person or the like is moved in the vertical direction as the side bars 12 and 13 are moved in the vertical direction. In addition, by moving or pushing the human body moving device 1 by hand so that the wheels 8 and 9 roll on the floor surface 7 and moving the whole human body moving device 1, the sick person or the like is moved in the horizontal direction. Can be done. By utilizing these movements, a sick person or the like can be lifted from the bed 2, lowered onto the bed 2, moved to the side of the bed 2, and put in the bathtub. If a hanger member such as a hammock that holds the sick person in a sitting position is used instead of the hanger shovel 31, the sick person can be moved to the side of the bed 2 in a sitting position and the wheelchair or Can be placed on the toilet bowl.

In the above-described method of use, moving the side bars 12 and 13 downward is performed, for example, when the hook portion 32 of the hanger shovel 31 is to be engaged with each of the side bars 12 and 13. . That is, the side bars 12 and 13 are located near the upper ends of the columns 3 and 4 when not in use, but the hook portion 32 of the hanger shovel 31 tries to engage with the side bars 12 and 13, respectively. At this time, it is moved downward so that it is located near both sides of the body of the sick person lying on the bed 2. At this time, if the positional relationship between the bed 2 and the human body moving device 1 is not proper, one of the side bars 12 and 13 may touch the body of a sick person or the like. If this is noticed when the side bars 12 and 13 are moved downward, it is possible to stop the side bars 12 and 13 and prevent one of the side bars 12 and 13 from hitting the body of a sick person or the like. If you do not notice it, one of the side bars 12 and 13 may hit the body of a sick person or the like. However, according to this embodiment, even if the side rods 12 and 13 collide with some obstacle in the downward movement, in that case, while keeping the side rods 12 and 13 in that position, as shown in FIG. Only the driver 22 can be moved downwards, as shown in phantom at 3. Therefore, the driving force of the driving body 22 provided by the motor 14 is not applied to the side bars 12 and 13. Therefore, by exerting such driving force on the side rods 12 and 13, it is surely prevented that one of the side rods 12 and 13 strongly presses the sick person or the like and injures the sick person or the like. It Therefore, it can be made extremely safe for the sick and the like.

In addition to the above-mentioned sick person lying on the bed 2, a sick person sitting in a wheelchair or a toilet bowl, or a device such as a bed, a wheelchair, a toilet bowl, or a bathtub can also be attached to the side bars 12 and 13. It can be an obstacle in the downward movement. In particular, when the device becomes an obstacle, if the driving body 22 and the driven body 24 are not separable from each other, a problem of mechanical damage is caused. If 22 and the driven body 24 are separable, such a problem of mechanical damage is also solved.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the illustrated embodiment, several modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the synchronous shaft 30 is used to drive the mechanism in both the columns 3 and 4 by the single motor 14. However, the motor is provided in each of the columns 3 and 4. It may be provided.

Further, in order to drive the driving body 22 of the support member 11 so as to move along each of the columns 3 and 4, the chain 20 and the sprocket wheels 18 and 19 are used in the above-described embodiment. Instead of this, a combination of a belt and a pulley may be used, and further, a combination of a lead screw and a driving body having a female screw screwed thereto may be used.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the driving body 22 and the driven body 24 can be separated from each other, and therefore, the safety is high for the sick person and the like, but such an advantage is desired. If not present, the driver 22 and the follower 24 may be inseparable from each other.
