1 and 2, a bathable patient bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base frame 110, a base mat 120, a functional mat 130, and a net member 140 It is composed by

The base frame 110 constitutes the body of the bed, and the internal structure excluding the outer circumferential surface may be formed of a mesh.

In addition, railings 111a and 111b may be formed on the upper and lower portions of the base frame 110, respectively. Of course, depending on the implementation method, a protective frame for patient protection may be separately configured on the left and right sides, but is not separately shown in FIGS. 1 to 9.

This, the base frame 110 will be understood as the basic body of the bed. Therefore, if the base frame 110 is made of a material that is durable enough to support the weight of a bed and a patient lying on the bed, it may be applied to the material such as steel, aluminum, and reinforced plastic without limitation. That is, the material of the base frame 110 is not separately limited, but when the patient is placed on the bed, it should be formed of a material having a strength capable of maintaining the shape without deformation while accommodating the patient. In one embodiment of the present invention, for convenience of understanding and explanation, it is assumed that the base frame 110 is made of steel.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to allow the patient to bathe by moving the bed itself without moving the patient separately while the patient is in the bed. To this end, the base frame 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed in a mesh structure so that water can be drained well on the inner surface except for the outer circumferential surface. As the base frame 110 has a mesh structure, when a patient moves to a bathroom or the like using a bed without separate movement while taking a bath while in the bed, water can be drained to the lower part of the base frame 110.

A base mat 120 is positioned above the base frame 110. The base mat 120 may include a cushion member. The base mat 120 may be formed in the same manner as a general mattress structure.

For another example, the base mat 120 may be configured as a sub-mat divided into a plurality. That is, when moving the bed for the patient's bath, the base mat 120 may be separated from the bed, and may be designed to be divided into a plurality in order to easily separate the base mat 120 from the bed.

A functional mat 130 is disposed on the upper surface of the base mat 120. The functional mat 130 may be a mat equipped with a special function such as a bed sore prevention mat. Since the shape of the functional mat 130 is very diverse, a separate description thereof will be omitted.

In one embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the functional mat 130 is a bed sore prevention mat, and this description is focused, but the functional mat 130 is the same for all mats including a specific function for patient care in addition to the bed sore prevention mat. It can also be applied.

In addition, such a functional mat 130 is only shown for an example, not necessarily provided on a bed for a patient, and is selectively used by a patient, and the functional mat does not necessarily need to be placed on the base mat 120.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130 are configured to be selectively provided by a patient, and may not be essential components constituting a bed for a patient. Therefore, it is natural that the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130 described in the present invention may not necessarily be provided according to the configuration.

The net member 140 is a configuration for levating at least a part of the patient's body. A coupling member is formed at both ends of the net member 140, and the coupling members 141a and 141b are caught by the

fixing members

160a and 160b formed on the upper surfaces of the handrails 111a and 111b formed at the upper and lower ends of the bed, It is connected to the operating member 170 formed on at least one of the railing of the bed or the base frame 110 through the

fixing members

160a and 160b. The coupling members 141a and 141b may have a string-like shape, for example. That is, the coupling members 141a and 141b may pull and release the net member 140, and the degree of levitation of the net member 140 may be determined through this. Since the coupling members 141a and 141b penetrate through the

fixing members

160a and 160b while being caught by the

fixing members

160a and 160b, they can be connected to the operation member 170 while being caught by the handrail. For this reason, the degree to which the net member 140 floats in the air is determined according to the degree to which the coupling members 141a and 141b are pulled taut by the adjustment of the operation member 170 (see FIG. 5).

As the coupling members 141a and 141b are wound by the adjustment of the operation member 170, the net member 140 is levitation, and between the net member 140 and the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130 Space is formed. Therefore, the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130 can be easily separated from the bed by the space created by the levitation of the net member 140 without moving the patient separately while the patient is located on the bed. do.

In FIG. 1, the coupling members 141a and 141b are shown to be coupled at the centers of both ends of the net member 140, but the coupling members 141a and 141b may be coupled to corner portions of both ends of the net member 140, respectively. I can. Accordingly, as the operation member 170 is manipulated, the coupling members 141a and 141b coupled to both ends of the net member 140 may be pulled.

In a state in which the patient is usually located on the bed, the net member 140 may be disposed in a state that is spread on the upper surface of the base mat 120 or the functional mat 130. In the case of moving the patient or removing a part of the patient's body (for example, the upper body) from the base mat 120 or the functional mat 130 in order to prevent bedsores In the case of adjusting the operation member 170 In the case of adjusting the operation member 170 As the coupling members 141a and 141b connected to the are wound and the net member 140 is pulled, at least a part of the patient's body is levitation.

In summary, in general, the net member 140 may be disposed above the base mat 120 or the functional mat 130. However, when at least one of the coupling members formed at both ends of the net member 140 is wound according to the manipulation of the operation member 170, at least a portion of the net member 140 may be formed with the base mat 120 or the functional mat 130 They are separated and levitation. Due to this, at least a part of the body of the patient is separated from the base mat 120 or the functional mat 130, and air circulation is facilitated, thereby helping to prevent bedsores.

In addition, the net member 140 may be coupled to the support at both ends. When the support is coupled to both ends of the net member 140, at least one of the coupling members formed at both ends of the net member 140 is wound according to the manipulation of the operation member 170 and the net member 140 is supported As the left and right edges of the member 140 are lifted, there is an advantage that the patient can stably lean on the back.

Assuming a situation in which the bed is moved for the patient's bath, the coupling members formed at both ends of the net member 140 are wound respectively according to the manipulation of the operation member 170, and the net member 140 is suspended in the air. The patient's body is also levitation.

It is possible to separate the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130, which should not be wet with water, from the bed 100 in a state in which the patient is suspended in the air by the net member 140. In the state where the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130 are removed from the bed 100, the coupling members formed at both ends of the net member 140 are released according to the manipulation of the operation member 170, and the net member 140 is a base frame. The patient is placed on the top 110, and the patient is also placed in a state supported by the base frame 110 through the net member 140.

In such a state, the patient can be bathed by moving the bed to a bathable location (toilet). When a caregiver or family member who takes care of a patient with a disability for a long time raises and moves the patient for a bath, it increases the physical burden, and it is the reason that the caregiver or family makes it difficult to care for the patient.

Accordingly, the bathable patient bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention does not move the patient, but levitates the patient through the net member 140 to conveniently bed the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130 After separating from the bed, the bed itself can be moved to a bathable space (for example, a toilet) so that the patient can bathe.

1 and 2, the base frame 110 is shown as a single-sided structure in which it is not folded, but the base frame 110 may be formed in a folded structure including a plurality of frames.

This will be described with reference to FIG. 3 as follows.

Referring to FIG. 3, a base frame 110 according to another embodiment of the present invention may be formed of an upper frame 310 and a lower frame 320. The bonding surface of the upper frame 310 and the lower frame 320 may be coupled by a shaft member. Accordingly, as the shaft member rotates at a predetermined angle, the upper frame 310 is bent to face the lower frame 320. Accordingly, when moving the patient to the bathroom or the like, there is an advantage in that the patient can move to a seated state by raising the upper frame 310 while the patient is positioned on the base frame 110.

Of course, it may be implemented in a structure in which the upper frame goes up and down with respect to the base frame 110 and the expansion frame. For another example, only the base frame 110 may be implemented so that the upper frame goes up and down.

In FIG. 3, the base frame 110 is shown to be composed of an upper frame 310 and a lower frame 320, but the base frame 110 is subdivided into an upper frame, an intermediate frame, and a lower frame according to an implementation method. Can be configured separately. In this case, the upper frame may be bent in the first direction to face the intermediate frame, and the lower frame may be bent in the second direction to face the bottom of the intermediate frame. Here, the first direction and the second direction may be opposite directions. That is, the upper frame may be bent in a direction in which the upper end goes up, and the lower frame may be bent in a direction in which the lower end goes down.

When the base frame 110 is composed of an upper frame and a lower frame, a handle 610 and an auxiliary wheel member 620 may be further included on the bottom surface of the upper frame 310. The handle 610 and the auxiliary wheel member 620 formed on the bottom of the upper frame 310 are positioned in a folded state on the bottom of the base frame 110 in the basic state, and the handle 610 when the upper frame is raised And the auxiliary wheel member 620 may be unfolded (see FIG. 7 ). Here, the auxiliary wheel member 620 may include a support portion capable of adjusting the height. That is, one end is coupled to the upper frame in a foldable structure, and the other end may be connected to an auxiliary wheel.

Therefore, when the auxiliary wheel member 620 is unfolded while the upper frame is raised, the height of the support formed on the auxiliary wheel member 620 can be adjusted. The support portion formed on the auxiliary wheel member 620 is configured in a slidable shape, and the height can be adjusted by unfolding it (see FIG. 8).

Referring to FIG. 4, a state in which a part of the net member 140 is pulled while the upper frame of the base frame 110 is raised and the upper body of the patient is floated in the air at a predetermined interval is illustrated. In FIG. 5, it is shown that only a part of the upper body of the patient is floated in the air as a part of the net member 140 is pulled while only the base frame 110 is positioned, but according to the implementation method, the base mat ( It is natural that 120) and the functional mat 130 may be implemented in the same manner even in a position. This has the advantage of preventing bedsores by making the patient's back well ventilated.

In addition, the upper frame 310 may further include a head frame (not shown). The head frame (not shown) is a support frame for supporting the head. For example, it is possible to facilitate shampooing while restraining the patient's head when taking a bath. To this end, the head frame () may be rotated in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the upper frame 310.

The maximum rotational movement angle of the upper frame 310 and the head frame (not shown) may be 90 degrees, and the rotational movement angle of the upper frame 310 and the head frame (not shown) within 90 degrees can be freely adjusted. I can.

Referring to FIG. 8, expansion frames 910 are formed on both sides of the base frame 110, respectively. The expansion frame 910 is formed on both sides of the base frame 110, and may be accommodated to the bottom of the base frame 110 along a guide rail formed on the bottom of the base frame 110. The form in which the extension frame 910 is accommodated on the bottom of the base frame 110 is as shown in FIG. 9.

In general, the width of the door frame of a home is larger than that of the bed. Therefore, it is difficult to move the bed in which the patient lives daily without moving the patient. Accordingly, the bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may allow the patient to live by extending the extension frames 910 on both sides of the base frame 110 so that there is no inconvenience in daily life. However, when moving the patient for reasons such as bathing, the extension frame 910 is moved along the guide rail formed on the bottom of the base frame 110 so that the patient can move the bed as it is. You can fold it through the door by moving it to the bottom.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal size of the expansion frame 910 may be, for example, 10 to 20 cm, and the vertical size may be formed equal to the vertical size of the base frame 110.

However, the expansion frame 910 and the base frame 110 may be formed to have a predetermined level difference. That is, as the expansion frame 910 is formed to be movable to the bottom surface of the base frame 110, the upper surface, which is the highest position of the expansion frame 910, is the same as the height of the bottom surface of the base frame 110. Can be formed. The patient does not live on the base frame 110 and the expansion frame 910, and lives in a state in which the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130 are placed on the upper surfaces of the base frame 110 and the expansion frame 910. As a result, you can hardly feel the inconvenience of daily life due to the step difference. Guide rails formed on the bottom surface of the base frame 110 may be formed at both ends of the base frame 110.

A wheel member may be formed under the expansion frame 910. For example, wheel members may be symmetrically formed at both ends of the expansion frame 910. The wheel member may be formed to support the bed as well as the movement of the bed. That is, support members may be symmetrically coupled to both ends of the expansion frame 910. That is, one end of the support member 630 may be coupled to a portion of the bottom surface of the expansion frame 910, and the other end of the support member 630 may be coupled to the wheel member 640. In addition, the wheel member 640 may further include a locking member. The locking member may have a brake function capable of preventing the wheel from rotating while the bed is fixed without moving.

In summary, the patient bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may allow a patient to take a bath without moving the patient while using the bed. To this end, the width of the bed can be reduced by pushing the expansion frames 910 formed on both sides of the base frame 110 of the patient bed 100 and receiving them on the bottom of the base frame 110. Then, by adjusting the operation member 170 provided in the patient bed 100 to lift the net member, the patient may be levated by a predetermined height. As the patient is levated by the net member 140, an empty space is formed between the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130 and the patient, thereby separating the base mat 120 and the functional mat 130 from the bed. I can. Then, by adjusting the operation member 170 again to release the net member 140, the patient may be positioned on the base frame 110.

In this state, the patient's bed can be moved to bathe the patient. Of course, as already described above, by lifting the upper end of the upper frame 310 of the base frame 110 to lift, the upper frame 310 may be bent and the patient's bed may be moved while the patient is sitting. In this case, the handle 610 formed on the bottom of the upper frame 310 can be expanded and the bed can be pushed to move more comfortably (see FIG. 6). In addition, in order to prevent the bed from being overturned because the upper frame 310 is lifted and bent, the center may be changed by spreading the auxiliary wheel member 620 formed on the bottom of the upper frame 310 to hold the center.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the auxiliary wheel member 620 that is unfolded as the upper frame 310 is raised may be formed in a lifting structure to enable height adjustment.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, a drip tray member 150 may be further positioned on the bottom surface of the base frame 110. The drip tray member 150 may be selectively hung on the bottom of the base frame 110 as needed, and the drip tray member 150 is for collecting water falling from the bed such as the base frame 110 after bathing is completed, It can be formed so that the slope becomes narrower as it goes. In addition, water accumulated in the lower portion of the drip tray member 150 may be discharged to the outside by the discharge member.

In addition, although FIG. 1 shows that the drip tray member 150 is configured as one, the drip tray member 150 may include a plurality of divided spaces. For example, when the bed has a structure in which the upper end is folded, the drip tray member 150 may be divided into an upper drip tray member and a lower drip tray member to be installed. In this case, the upper drip tray member and the lower drip tray member each include a discharge member, and the discharge members of the upper drip tray member and the lower drip tray member are integrated into one at the end and discharged to the outside through the integrated discharge member. That is, water from the upper drip tray is collected by the discharge member of the upper drip tray member, water that has fallen to the lower drip tray member by the discharge member of the lower drip tray member is collected, and water that has been collected by the discharge members of the lower drip tray member and the upper drip tray member, respectively. Flows to the integrated discharge member at the end and can be discharged to the outside. In addition, it is natural that the drip tray member can be divided into various compartments and installed according to the folding type of the bed.

The apparatus and method according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in the form of program instructions that can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like alone or in combination. The program instructions recorded on the computer-readable medium may be specially designed and configured for the present invention, or may be known and usable to those skilled in the computer software field. Examples of computer-readable recording media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tapes, optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, and magnetic media such as floptical disks. -Includes magneto-optical media and hardware devices specially configured to store and execute program instructions such as ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like. Examples of program instructions include not only machine language codes such as those produced by a compiler but also high-level language codes that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter or the like.

The above-described hardware device may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operation of the present invention, and vice versa.

So far, the present invention has been looked at around the embodiments. Those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will be able to understand that the present invention can be implemented in a modified form without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.
