Description

Description All-purpose nursing care bed

Field of technology

According to the present invention, home caregivers (home helpers) use the most nerves in physical care, and those involving fatigue include turning over, urination, defecation processing, and bathing operations. _c the present invention is that to be able to run automatically in a state in which slept in the soil, first of all, was able to fulfill the automation of the people of turning over operation became bedridden in nursing downy head. In other words, it is said that if a person continues to sleep and stay still for a long time, blood vessels will be compressed and blood circulation will deteriorate, eventually causing gangrene and dying some functions of the body. Therefore, it is necessary to move the body at regular intervals, but it is especially difficult for women and the elderly to move many times every day, even at night.

Thus, in the present invention, it was possible to turn the nursing care bed in a circular shape and automatically rotate it in the circumferential direction, thereby enabling a near-natural turning over while sleeping (hereinafter referred to as a “rotating bed”). "). That is, a gear groove is cut on the back side of both ends of the rotating bed body 1 shown in Fig. 1 plan view, Fig. 2 three-dimensional view and Fig. 3 selection figure, and this has a built-in timer, speed adjustment, and angle adjustment. 9 enables the nursing bed body 1 to rotate at an arbitrary speed, angle, and time interval in a state close to natural rolling over, by interlocking with the gear 13. If the angle of rotation is 90 degrees or more, the human body will be in a prone state and the effect of turning over will be great, but the mouth and nose will be blocked by a soft bed and there is a risk of suffocation. The former Matsu 5 is harder and safer. However, to prevent general floor rubbing, a rotation angle of 90 degrees or less is sufficiently effective. Also, since the human body slides down as it rotates, use a non-slip material sheet for the surface of the vibration folding mat 6 located under the human body. Since the vibration device is incorporated, blood circulation is further promoted. These rotations are fully automatic, but stop, speed, angle, If you want to change the time interval, you can adjust it with push button 31.

Next, in the present invention, in addition to being most unsanitary in physical care and giving fatigue, the care that gives fatigue is the treatment of urination and defecation. A toilet bowl that automates each drying step was installed on a rotating bed. Until now, special caregivers have to wear special pants and change them at regular intervals.However, if left unattended for a long time, not only will the caregiver need to feel uncomfortable, but also the skin of the buttocks will become rough, The attached stool may not be wiped clean and may become unsanitary. In addition, if the care recipient is demented, has diarrhea, or has weak legs, she often falls before reaching her home or hospital toilet. In addition, changing pants requires a lot of hard work, increasing fatigue in the care of women and the elderly, as well as the need for caregivers because of their shame and the mental pain of other people's home helpers. Often requests for family care.

Therefore, the present invention will be described with reference to the enlarged three-selection diagram.The automatic toilet 17 that opens and closes the solenoid valve is installed on the rotating bed body 1 by sensing the light sensor. It became possible, and pants were no longer necessary, just covering the front of the human body improved. In this way, the body of the care-requiring person can be almost naked, but in this case, the rotating bed 1 is covered with 30 and the air conditioner / humidifier 14 is used so that a comfortable life can be achieved even naked. It is necessary to maintain proper temperature and humidity. The space inside the rotating bed is economical because it is only about one tenth of the space in the bed in a general house.

An automatic toilet 17 using this optical sensor is of the type generally available on the market, but flushing and drainage are automatically controlled by a solenoid valve, so there is no need for a water storage tank and a odor backwater reservoir in the toilet. The toilet 17 has an automatic opening / closing lid inserted into the toilet seat 18, but it is usually sufficient to close it and open it when using it. However, keep it open for care recipients who are dripping or have diarrhea. In addition, for those requiring careless urination or defecation while lying asleep, the vibration folding mat 6 may be used after raising. The automatic function of the toilet 17 will be described with reference to the three-selection diagram. The light sensor senses the moment the stool comes out of the body, and at the same time, the odor exhaustion in the toilet 17, the flushing water in the toilet 22, the fountain in the urination area 23, or the fountain in the defecation area 24, The solenoid valve of the bellows type drain pipe 20 opens, and the wastes flow out. After a certain period of time after urinating and defecation of the care recipient, the bellows-shaped drain pipe 20 is closed, warm air is blown into the toilet bowl and a local area from the warm air outlet 25, and the air is discharged from the odor exhaust port 21. . However, in case of urination, it may be spilled out of the toilet, so it is necessary to fix a thick hose to the human body. The above can be automatically controlled by the optical sensor, timer, and solenoid valve, but manual operation is also possible by pressing the push button 31 for each of the 10 steps (bad odor exhaustion, toilet flushing, local fountain, drainage, drying).

Second, physical caregivers require heavy labor when bathing in bedridden people, people with dementia, or people with weak feet.

At present, some companies have moved their bodies to the bathroom to take baths, or recently, some companies have brought bathtubs to the homes of the care recipients to visit and bathe.

The present invention is characterized in that it is possible to take a bath while the human body is laid in a circular rotating bed. The bathing operation will be described with reference to the selection diagram of Fig. 3.The vibration folding mat 6 embedded in the rotating bed 1 raises the human body above the surface that becomes the water surface, and the solenoid valve of the water heater 11 opens to open the rotating bed. Hot water of the appropriate temperature flows from the hot water inlet 26 to the hot water supply port. At the same time, the solenoid valve for the shampoo liquid 12 is opened and the appropriate amount is injected into the rotating bed 1. Then, to remove dirt on the human body surface, the solenoid valve of the hot air generator 13 is opened, and hot air foam is injected from the bottom 28 of the rotating bed 1 for a certain period of time. After washing the human body, open the automatic opening / closing lid 19 of the toilet 17 and open the solenoid valve of the bellows-shaped drain pipe 20 to drain 25 washing water in the bathtub. After that, the solenoid valve of the water heater 11 was opened and hot water was sprayed from the shampoo-27 to wash away the shampoo-liquid adhering to the human body surface. Then, the solenoid valve of the bellows type drain pipe was closed and the hot air generator 13 The solenoid valve of 3 opens to send hot air from the hot air outlet 28 and exhaust air with the ventilation fan 16 at the same time, and the bathing operation is completed when the human body and the rotating bed are dried. Finally, the automatic opening / closing lid 19 of the toilet 17 is closed. As described above, automatic control is performed via the timer and the solenoid valve, but operation can be performed for each process by pressing the push button 31. Background art

Conventionally, as a method of turning over the body, the air bag is put on the back and the place to inflate is changed from time to time, the human body is moved left and right by breaking the half of the bed, Beds that have a wavy shape and lift the knees and bend the back are available on the market, but they are far from the natural rolling of the human body. Next, as a method of embedding a toilet in a bed, a bed that embeds a portable toilet and puts it in and out is on the market, but it becomes unpopular because bedding and clothes become dirty, and it is almost used now. It has not been. Recently, a method of placing a portable toilet on the bed side and sucking it from a local part of the human body has become widespread. Next, as for bathing, visits are carried out by bringing the human body to the bathroom or by bringing the bathtub to the house, and nursing care beds that are commercially available can store water themselves. Since it was not shaped, none could be used as a bathtub. Problems of the Invention

In order to cope with this situation, the present invention first realizes a state close to the natural turning of the human body by automatically rotating and rotating the circular care bed 1 in the circumferential direction in order to prevent floor rubbing. Was. In addition, a vibrating folding mat 6 was embedded in the rotating bed 1 to give a vibration and promote blood circulation. Next, according to the present invention, the rotating bed 1 is covered and covered with 30 so that urination and defecation can be performed in a bare state without clothes, using a bedding such as an apron and a bedcloth. A temperature-humidity environment that enables comfortable and comfortable living, and a solenoid valve interlocked with the sensing of an optical sensor automatically embeds a toilet bowl 17 that can exhaust odors, flush and dry, and urinate and defecate while sleeping. The bedding and clothes do not become dirty because they are naked, so even if the human body or rotating bed becomes dirty, they can be immediately washed with a hot water shower 27, Hot air can be blown out from hot air outlet 28 to dry. Next, in the present invention, since the rotating bed 1 is circular, it can be used as it is as a bathtub. When taking a bath, the folding mat 6 is raised, and foaming washing, water washing and drying are automatically performed. This was achieved while lying on the nursing bed. The invention's effect

In this way, the present invention automatically turns over while lying on the care bed while naked, prevents floor rubbing, automatically processes urination and defecation, and bathes in the care bed. Not only has the care of home caregivers and home helpers been significantly reduced, but caregivers also have no need to be ashamed or withdrawn, enabling them to work with peace of mind. .
