FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a standing training bed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Prevention and improvement of orthostatic hypotension, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, etc. associated with long-term bed rest, prevention of decline in mental function activity after long-term bed rest, and promotion and standing of leg extension reflex due to weight bearing A standing training bed is used to perform position balance training.

The upright training bed is usually composed of a gantry, a bed whose one end is rotatable, and a hydraulic cylinder or the like which is interposed between the gantry and the bed to adjust the inclination angle of the bed. And a control means for controlling the bed tilting mechanism.

When the standing training is performed by the standing training bed, first, the person who intends to perform the training is fixed to the bed. Then, the bed tilting mechanism is manually or automatically operated through the control means to set the bed at a predetermined angle. In this way, standing training is performed for a predetermined time while keeping the bed at a predetermined angle. The training may be performed by increasing the inclination angle of the bed by 10 degrees, for example, every 1 minute or 2 minutes as needed, and gradually increasing the load applied to the lower limbs.

By the way, if standing training is carried out when the function of disuse is deteriorated due to long-term bed rest, it is difficult to maintain cerebral blood flow, and so-called standing hypotension may occur. Therefore, when performing standing training using the standing training bed, a caregiver or a doctor monitors the blood pressure of the trainee, and if there is an abnormality in blood pressure, immediately stop training and restore the bed. I'm trying to return it to the horizontal position or less.

However, under the present circumstances, it is difficult for a caregiver or a doctor to constantly monitor the blood pressure of a trainee, and sometimes the suspension of training is delayed. To avoid such a situation, give the trainee an emergency down switch.If the trainee feels abnormal blood pressure, he / she should press the emergency down switch to return the bed to the horizontal state, and also the speaker. There is an attempt to give an alarm sound through a sounding device such as the above to inform the caregiver or the doctor of that fact.

[0007]

However, it is said that the display with only the alarm sound cannot provide the function as the alarm sound when the ambient noise is high or when the caregiver or the doctor has a weak hearing ability. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an orthostatic training bed capable of accurately displaying to a caregiver or a doctor that a trainee has pressed an emergency down switch during training. It is intended.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mount, a bed having one end rotatably mounted on the mount, a mount and a bed. In a standing training bed equipped with a bed tilting mechanism for adjusting the tilting angle of the bed interposed between and a control means for controlling the bed tilting mechanism, the standing training bed is operated by a trainee during training and is operated via the control means. An emergency down switch that returns the bed to a state in which the bed is tilted slightly downward from the horizontal is attached to the bed, and a warning light indicating that the emergency down switch has been operated is provided on the bed that is tilted slightly downward from the horizontal. It is characterized by being attached to the top of the control stand set higher than the height.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a foot switch for height adjustment for adjusting the height of the bed and a foot switch for angle adjustment for adjusting the angle of the bed are provided below the control stand. Further, a controller for adjusting the height and angle of the bed and displaying the training time is attached to the upper part of the control stand.

According to a third aspect of the invention, the warning light is
Instead of the top of the control stand, it is attached to the tip of a foot plate provided at the foot of the bed.

[0012]

[Operation] When the trainee feels sick due to orthostatic hypotension during the training, pressing the emergency down switch returns the bed to a state in which the bed is tilted slightly downward from the initial level through the control means. , The warning light lights up or blinks, and even if the surrounding noise is high or the caregiver has a weak hearing ability, the caregiver is informed of the emergency. Here, since the warning light is attached to the top of the control stand which is set higher than the height of the bed, it is very easy for the caregiver or the like to see and the oversight is unlikely to occur.
