Thus, as shown in FIG. 1B, as the first fixing part 116 is inserted into the inner side of the right side 202, the first support part 110 is in the direction of the arrow, that is, from the outside of the patient's right upper body. It moves in a direction toward the inside.

That is, the first support part 110 approaches each other with the second support part 120 positioned to face each other, and accordingly, the upper body of the patient is more rigid by the first and second support parts 110 and 120. Will be supported.

Meanwhile, the second support part 120 includes a second backrest part 121, a second side part 122, a second guide part 123, a second extension part 124, a second connection part 125, and a second height. Includes a top portion 126, each of the first backrest portion 111, the first side portion 112, the first guide portion 113, the first extension portion 114, the first connection portion 115 and The same configuration, shape, and operation are performed, except that the first fixing part 116 is formed symmetrically to each other.

Accordingly, a redundant description of the specific configuration of the second support unit 120 will be omitted.

As described above, the first and second support portions 110 and 120 have the first and second fixing portions 116 and 126 on the right side 202 and the left side 203 of the seating unit 200. As they are inserted, they move in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 1B to approach each other, and accordingly, the upper body of the patient can be supported more firmly.

In addition, while the upper body of the patient is supported in this way, the first and second extension parts 114 and 124 move the second direction Y with respect to the first and second connection parts 115 and 125. When rotated with a rotating shaft, the patient's upper body rotates and stands with respect to the lower body.

The seating unit 200 supports the lower body of the patient, and the upper thigh of the patient is positioned on the seating unit 200.

That is, with respect to the patient lying on the bed, when the seating unit 200 is positioned toward the upper side of the patient's thigh, the seating unit 200 is naturally positioned to support the lower body of the patient, and the above-described support unit ( Since 100) supports the upper body of the patient, the patient standing device 10 as a whole supports the upper and lower bodies of the patient lying on the bed.

More specifically, the seating unit 200 includes a seating base 201 and a rotating part 205.

The seating base 201 has a shape of a square block as a whole, but the upper surface 204 may be formed in a soft curved shape to conform to the patient's body shape since the lower body of the patient is located.

In addition, the right side 202 and the left side 203 of the seating base 201 extend parallel to each other, and as described above, the first fixing part 116 and the second fixing part 126 can be inserted. It is connected to do.

Meanwhile, an insertion part 206 is formed on the front surface of the seating base 201, that is, an end surface along the first direction X. In this case, the insertion part 206 has a shape of an insertion hole formed along the first direction X, and although it is shown that a pair is formed in FIG. 1A, the depth may be variously designed. , The shape and number of holes may also be formed in various ways.

In this way, when the rotation unit 205 rotates in the third direction Z as a rotation axis, the seating base 201 is integrally rotated in the third direction Z as a rotation axis.

Further, when the seating base 201 is rotated, the support unit 100 connected to the seating base 201 is also rotated as a whole, and accordingly, the patient standing device 10 is With respect to rotation, it is rotated about the rotation shaft 205.

In addition, as the seating base 201 rotates, the insertion portion 206 formed in the seating base 201 is also in a different direction from the first direction (X), for example, in the second direction (Y). Can be positioned parallel.

As described above, as the patient standing device 10 rotates about the rotation shaft 205, the patient lying down along the first direction X is controlled by the rotation of the patient standing device 10. It may be located along two directions (Y), and may be located in various directions depending on the degree of rotation of the rotation shaft 205.

However, in the case of this embodiment, after the support unit 100 of the patient standing device 10 rotates with respect to the sitting unit 200 to position the upper body of the patient in a standing state, that is, a sitting state, the rotating part Since 205 rotates, the patient is positioned along various directions such as the second direction Y in the standing state.

2 is a perspective view showing a patient standing device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In the case of the patient standing device 20 according to the present embodiment, in addition to the seating unit 210, the support unit 100 is the same as the patient standing device 10 in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used for the same components, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the patient standing device 20 in this embodiment, the seating unit 210 is divided into an upper base 212 and a lower base 211, and a rotating part is provided on the upper base 212. 215 is provided.

In this case, since the transfer device such as the transfer robot approaches the patient standing device 20 from the side of the bed, the insertion part 217 is parallel to the extension direction of the bed in consideration of the convenience of insertion or operation. It is necessary to be positioned along the second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X rather than the first direction X.

Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the insertion part 217 formed on the lower base 211 is preferably formed in parallel along the second direction Y, not the first direction X.

Meanwhile, the upper base 212 is coupled to the upper surface of the lower base 211 and is coupled to be rotatable with respect to the lower base 211.

That is, the upper base 212 is coupled to the rotating part 215 located in the center, and according to the rotation of the rotating part 215, the third direction Z is rotated with respect to the lower base 211 as a rotation axis. It will rotate.

In this case, the upper surface 214 of the upper base 212 may be formed into a curved surface in consideration of the shape of the patient's lower body because the lower body of the patient is located, and the right surface 215 of the upper base 212 and The first fixing part 116 and the second fixing part 126 are connected to the left side 216 so as to be insertable, respectively.

Thus, when the first and second fixing parts 116 and 126 are inserted into the upper base 212, the first and second support parts 110 and 120 approach each other to make the upper body of the patient more rigid. Will be supported.

In addition, since the support unit 100 is fixed to the upper base 212, the support unit 100 rotates in the same manner as the upper base 212 is rotated.

That is, even in this embodiment, when the upper base 212 is rotated, the patient standing device 20 is positioned to face the second direction Y, and the insertion part 217 is also positioned in the second direction. It is positioned so as to face (Y), and is substantially the same as the state in the case where the patient standing device 10 described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B is positioned under rotation.

3A is a perspective view showing a patient standing device according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a perspective view illustrating the patient standing device of FIG. 3A from a different direction.

The patient standing device 30 according to the present embodiment is similar in overall function and operation to the patient standing devices 10 and 20 described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 2, but the detailed configuration and operation are different. And it will be described focusing on the difference in operation.

The cylinder part 320 and the storage space 301 may be covered by the plate or the like because it is sealed with a lamp.

Meanwhile, a rear opening 302 is formed at the rear of the support unit 300, and the cylinder part 320 is positioned through the rear opening 302.

The cylinder part 320, one end is connected to the upper fixing part 311 formed on the upper side of the support unit 300, the other end is a connection frame 430 connected to the rear of the seating unit 400 Is connected to

That is, the cylinder part 320 is connected so as to extend from the top to the bottom in a generally inclined shape inside the storage space 301 formed by the support unit 300.

The cylinder part 320 is compressed or elongated, and when the cylinder part 320 is in an extended state, the support unit 300 is located in an unfolded state with respect to the seating unit 400, but the cylinder part 320 As the length decreases while being compressed, the support unit 300 rotates with respect to the seating unit 400, so that the support unit 300 rises and is positioned in the form of a chair as shown in FIG. 3A. do.

That is, the support unit 300 is rotated relative to the seating unit 400 by the cylinder part 320, and this rotational structure is driven relatively simply, so that the upper body of the patient is more easily erected. I can make it.

The support unit 300 and the seating unit 400 are connected through the connection part 330, and the connection part 330 includes a rotatable structure, and the support unit 300 comprises the seating unit 400 ) To rotate.

In this case, as the seating base 410 rotates in the third direction (Z) as a rotation axis, the support unit 300 connected to the seating base 410 also rotates at the same time, and accordingly, the patient standing The device 30 is rotated so that the entire device 30 faces a predetermined direction.

As described above, since the patient standing device 30 is generally located in a direction parallel to the extension direction of the bed, a patient transfer device such as a separate transfer robot is approached toward the patient standing device 30 from the outside. It can be difficult to do.

Thus, by rotating the rotating part 420, the patient standing device 30 is positioned in a direction perpendicular to the bed, that is, along the second direction Y, so that a patient transfer device such as a separate transfer robot from the outside is provided. It is possible to more easily access toward the patient standing device 30, and through this, it is possible to more easily transport the patient.

On the other hand, although not shown, the seating base 410 may also have an insertion portion formed in parallel along the first direction X in FIG. 3A, and the insertion portion thus formed may be formed according to the rotation of the rotating portion 420. The position may be changed to rotate and extend along the second direction Y. Thus, when a patient transfer device such as the transfer robot is required, the patient can be transferred while the patient standing device 30 is fixed by using the insertion unit.

Hereinafter, the structure and operation of the patient transfer system 1 including the patient standing devices 10, 20, and 30 according to the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 3B will be described.

In this case, when the support unit 100 is removed, the posture may be dangerous because the means for supporting the upper body disappears in the case of a patient having difficulty moving. Therefore, the first and second driving arms 520 and 530 of the transfer robot 50 are rotated inward to hold the upper body of the patient to fix the upper body of the patient, thereby making the patient more stable. Can be transported.

To this end, the rotating arms 522 and 532 rotate in a direction approaching each other to form a space in which the upper body of the patient can be positioned as shown in FIG. 8A, while supporting the upper body of the patient, More stable lifting and transfer can be implemented.

According to the embodiments of the present invention as described above, even for a patient lying on a bed and unable to move through the patient standing device, the upper body can be fixed and erected, and unmanned transfer can be implemented through the patient transfer system to a required destination Therefore, it is possible to reduce the physical labor of the caregiver, improve convenience, and improve the safety of the patient during transport.

In particular, the support portions have a shape that decreases in thickness toward the center, so that they are easily inserted through the space on the side of the patient's upper body, so that they can be fixed to the patient's upper body.

In general, the patient lies along the extension direction of the bed, but in order to transport the patient, it is necessary to change the posture to face the side of the bed. Accordingly, the direction in which the patient standing up through the rotating part is changed to the side of the bed, thereby converting the patient into an easy posture for transporting the patient.

In this case, the rotating unit may be configured to rotate the entire seating unit with respect to the bed. Otherwise, if it is difficult to implement the operation of rotating the entire seating unit, only the upper base of the seating base is rotated relative to the lower base. When the base is fixed on the bed, the patient's posture can be changed more easily.

In addition, since the patient's standing device can be easily stood by only the movement of the driving arm of the transfer robot connected to the guide, the operation is easy and convenient, and the standing is realized only by the simple movement of the robot, even through wireless control or unmanned operation. A patient transfer system can be implemented.

In contrast, since the patient standing device can be stood only by driving the cylinder provided inside the patient standing device, the patient transport system can be implemented through the same wireless control or unmanned operation.

In addition, after the patient is standing on the bed, the posture is changed to face the side of the bed, the insertion unit of the transfer robot is inserted into the insertion part of the seating unit, and the patient standing device can be lifted. It is possible to implement transport from the bed to another destination through simple operation and control.

In this case, similarly, when the insertion unit is inserted in a state aligned with the insertion unit, the patient standing device is fixed to the transfer robot, and a patient transfer system can be implemented very easily even through wireless control or unmanned operation.

Furthermore, if more stable support or fixation to the patient is required, additional fixation to the patient is possible through the driving arm, and on the contrary, fixation to the patient can be performed even when the support unit of the patient standing device is removed, Patients can be reliably transported to specific destinations.
