Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dry a sheet moistened by sweat or the like while keeping a lying state by putting a frame body whose at least one end is made elevatable on a mattress surface and providing a lifting mechanism for elevating at least one end of the frame body. SOLUTION: The frame body 5 is inserted into the middle of a mattress and the sheet and bisected to opening/closing frames 5a and 5b at the width direction center of this bed. To a moving block 10, the lifting mechanism 8 by a hydraulic jack or the like passed through the mattress to reach the tip part of the frame body 5 is mounted. Then, when the moving block 10 is moved, the lifting mechanism 8 is moved to a position near the width direction center of the bed and near the side part of the opening/closing frame 5a or 5b, the lifting mechanism 8 is operated as an arrow (b) and the part near the side part of the opening/closing frame 5a or 5b is lifted, the opening/closing frame 5b is opened upwards with a pin 6b on a left side as a center as the arrow (c.) Thus, while a patient keeps the lying state, only the sheet and the body of the patient are lifted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bed for medical treatment which is particularly suitable for a patient having an impaired motor function and a method of using the bed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, patients suffering from various diseases are:
It is common to lie on the bed most of the time.
In the case of a healthy person or a patient who has no impaired motor function, he / she moves his body while lying down while he / she is not conscious of it. The futon part of the bed stays in contact with a specific part of the body for a long time, causing rash due to sweat etc., and nurses frequently hold the patient to change sheets and clean the body. However, there is a problem that a so-called "bedsore" is easily caused.

On the other hand, for the purpose of rehabilitation of a surgical patient, a special bed in which the upper body is raised by operating a handle or the like has been conventionally used. has no effect.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a novel method for ventilating between a mattress and a body while a patient is in a supine position, drying sweaty skin and sheets, and suppressing the onset of bedsores. The purpose is to realize a comfortable medical treatment bed.

[0005]

The present invention according to claim 1 has a lifting mechanism for covering a surface of the mattress with a frame capable of raising at least one end thereof and raising at least one end of the frame. It is a medical treatment bed characterized by the above. According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of using the medical treatment bed according to the first aspect, wherein sheets are laid on the frame.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a medical treatment bed of this embodiment, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the same, FIG. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 2, and 1 is an upper frame of the medical treatment bed. A handrail 3 attached to the upper frame is a leg of a medical treatment bed, 4 is a lower frame, and 5 is a frame attached to the inside of the upper frame 1.

FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of the medical treatment bed in use, in which a mattress M is placed on an intermediate base 7 provided in the middle of the legs 3 in a horizontal direction.
And the sheet S is laid thereon, and the patient is supine. However, the intermediate table 7, the mattress M, and the sheets S are omitted in FIGS.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, in this medical treatment bed, a frame 5 is inserted between a mattress M (or a futon may be further laid thereon) and a sheet S. Has features. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the frame body 5 is divided into two opening / closing frames 5a and 5b at the center in the width direction of the bed, and centered on pins 6a and 6b attached to respective longitudinal end portions. It can be opened and closed upward with a double door.

The mechanism for opening and closing is constituted by a moving mechanism for horizontal movement and a lifting mechanism in the vertical direction provided near the center in the longitudinal direction of the bed. As shown in FIG. 3, the moving mechanism is composed of a guide rail 9, a moving block 10, a moving screw 11, a bearing 12, and a handle 13, and the guide rail 9 is stretched around the lower frame 4 of the bed in the width direction.
A moving block 10 is placed on the top so as to be slidable in the width direction. The moving block 10 is moved in a width direction by rotating a handle 13 attached to one end of a moving screw 11 supported at both ends by bearings 12. That is, it can be moved in the direction of arrow a in FIG.

A lifting mechanism 8 such as a hydraulic jack is mounted on the moving block 10 and penetrates the mattress and reaches the tip of the frame. Then, the moving block is moved to move the lifting mechanism 8 near the center in the width direction of the bed and to a position near one of the open / close frames 5a and 5b, and the lifting mechanism 8 is operated as shown by an arrow b. Frame 5
When one of the side portions a and 5b is lifted up, the frame 5 (the left opening / closing frame 5b in FIG. 3) is moved to the pin 6 (also the left side opening in FIG. 3) as shown by the arrow c in FIG. Open upward about pin 6b).

As a result, as apparent from FIG. 4, only the sheet S and the patient's body are lifted and temporarily separated from the mattress M while the patient is lying on the back, so that the sheet S The sheet S on the side where the air is circulated and lifted is dried. After drying, lower it to its original position in the reverse order, move the moving block 10 near the center in the width direction of the bed and to the side of the other opening frame, open the opening frame on the opposite side, and open the sheet on the opposite side from the previous one. Dry S. If the inclination angle of the open / close frame in the open state is within about 15 degrees, there is no problem for the patient. In addition, about 15 to 20 minutes of lifting time is sufficient.

Since the opening / closing frame 5 supports the patient for a while through the sheets S, it is composed of a square pipe, a flat bar or the like having a gentle surface, and if possible, a cushion material such as felt is provided on the upper surface thereof. It is good to stick.
5 and 6 show modified embodiments of the lifting mechanism and the moving mechanism.
Shown in In this embodiment, a pantograph-type manual screw jack used for an automobile or the like is used as the lifting mechanism 8, and a crank-shaped lifting arm 14 rotatable around a vertical axis is attached to an upper portion thereof, and a horizontal lifting axis 14 is provided in the middle of the vertical axis. A link 15 is provided, and operation rods 16a and 16b are appropriately connected to both ends of the link 15, and as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the lifting arm 14 is rotated by, for example, 90 degrees to open / close the frame 5a. , 5b, and the lifting mechanism 8 opens and closes the selected opening / closing frame.

The present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the lifting mechanism and the moving mechanism are not limited to hydraulic jacks and screw systems, respectively, and may be any known linear moving mechanism such as manual, electric, or hydraulic, or may be directly opened and closed by a crank mechanism, a gear mechanism, or the like in some cases. You may. Further, one lifting mechanism may be provided for each of the open / close frames, and the moving mechanism may be eliminated, or the open / close frame may be divided into two parts and the size of the entire mattress may be raised, and one end thereof may be lifted. Further, instead of lifting in the direction in which the mattress is inclined as shown in the above examples, a frame having a size of the entire mattress may be lifted horizontally. In other words, if sheets can be laid on a frame that can be lifted and air can be passed between the mattress by lifting at least a part of the frame while the patient is supine, if the body and sheets can be dried Good.

[0014]

According to the present invention, it is possible to dry a sheet moist due to sweat or the like while keeping the patient in a supine position without temporarily raising or moving the patient, thereby suppressing the occurrence of bedsores and the like. can do. In addition, since the operation does not require any particular skill, it has an excellent effect that it can be easily used in home care.
