Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical beds or household nursing beds, and particularly relates to a hospital bed or nursing bed with guardrails. Background Art

[0002] Since the space for placing beds in wards is limited, the width of beds is relatively narrow. In order to prevent patients from accidentally falling from the beds, liftable guardrails are usually set on both sides of the beds. The guardrails are raised when protection is needed and lowered when getting in and out of bed.

[0003] In the prior art, a control switch for controlling the raising and lowering of the guardrail is arranged on the guardrail, or arranged at the bottom of the bed or at the side of the bed on the same side as the guardrail.

[0004] For the control switch set at the bedside, when the patient operates the control switch on the same side, he usually needs to be close to the guardrail. When the patient moves from the center of the bed to the bedside, sometimes his body touches the guardrail or is very close to the guardrail. After operating the control switch and lowering the guardrail, he may lose his balance and fall from the edge of the bed if he is not careful. This is especially true for the elderly, patients or disabled people, whose bodies or minds are in an uncomfortable pathological state. If the control and movement of the body are too convenient or not flexible, it is more likely to cause a fall.

[0005] In the prior art, some guardrail switches of hospital beds are set under the bed to avoid direct operation by patients on the bed. Such design intention facilitates the caregivers to control the guardrail status, but does not take into account the patient's willingness to independently control the guardrail status. Patients, especially those who still have a certain degree of mobility, even if they are elderly, sick or disabled, usually prefer to control the guardrail status by themselves within their ability, rather than asking outsiders for help, especially in the middle of the night when the caregivers are resting, such requests will make the patient feel unnecessary emotions. However, for the control switch set at the bottom of the bed, that is, when the control switch is set below the main body of the bed, when the patient operates the control switch by himself, the upper part of the body needs to cross the guardrail, and the center of gravity of the body will accidentally cross the edge of the bed, which will make it easier to fall from the bed. Therefore, the above design intention increases the probability of falling accidents.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hospital bed or nursing bed that allows the patient to independently control the state of the guardrail and prevents the patient from falling. Summary of the invention

[0055] like Figures 9 to 14 As shown, the unlocking pedal 70 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 66, the switch link 65 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 68, and the transverse link 64 can make the unlocking pedal 70 and the switch link 65 move synchronously. When the unlocking pedal 70 is forced to move, the movement of the unlocking pedal 70 will also drive the movement of the transverse link 64 and the switch link 65 in turn, and also make the guardrail control switch 30 move; when the alarm device and the guardrail control switch 30 are set synchronously, the movement of the unlocking pedal 70 can also trigger the alarm device to output an alarm message.

[0056] Similarly, when the guardrail control switch 30 is turned, the switch link 65, the transverse link 64, the joint link 63 and the unlocking block link 62 will be driven to move in sequence, and the unlocking pedal 70 will also be driven to move; that is, the alarm device can be triggered when the above two methods are controlled. Of course, the alarm device can also be set with a switch to actively turn off the function of outputting its alarm information, or select an alarm that is not likely to cause disturbance, such as only outputting one of the sound and light alarm information.

[0057] like Figures 9 to 14 As shown, when someone steps on the unlocking pedal 70 or the patient pushes the guardrail control switch 30 upward, the unlocking pedal 70 rotates counterclockwise around the first rotating shaft 66, and the joint connecting rod 63 connected to the unlocking pedal also moves. The movement of the joint connecting rod 63 drives the unlocking block connecting rod 62 and the unlocking block 61 to slide downward, so that the left guardrail 10 is unhooked from the guardrail lock hook 15.

[0058] like Figures 9 to 14 As shown Figure 5 As shown, after the left guardrail 10 is unhooked from the guardrail lock hook 15, the left guardrail 10 can rotate and move up and down under the drive of the four-bar linkage. The four-bar linkage includes a guardrail link fixing portion 17 fixed to the guardrail 10, a four-bar linkage body 16, and a bed link fixing portion 26 fixed to the bed body.

[0059] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, after the left guardrail 10 is unhooked from the guardrail hook 15, the left guardrail 10 can rotate and move up and down under the drive of the four-bar linkage. The joint connecting rod 63 and the switch connecting rod 65 return to their original positions under the action of the first return spring 67 and the second return spring 69. Fig.12 The figure shows that the left guardrail 10 is at the lowest end and the joint link 63 and the switch link 65 have returned to their original positions. One end of the first return spring 67 is connected to the bed frame 21, and the other end of the first return spring 67 is connected to the joint link 63. The joint link 63 is fixedly connected to the unlocking pedal 70. One end of the second return spring 69 is connected to the bed frame 21, and the other end of the second return spring 69 is connected to the switch link 65.

[0060] like Figure 13 to Figure 14 As shown, when the left guardrail 10 is pulled upward, the guardrail lock hook 15 on the left guardrail 10 contacts the unlocking block 61, causing the unlocking block 61 to slide downward. When the left guardrail 10 continues to move upward, the unlocking block 61 clamps the left guardrail lock hook 15 under the action of the first return spring 67 and the second return spring 69, causing the left guardrail 10 to return to the bed rail position.

[0061] A hospital bed with guardrails, wherein two guardrails are respectively arranged on both sides of the main body of the hospital bed; when the guardrails are raised, the raised guardrails partially or completely protect the edge of the main body of the hospital bed; when the guardrails are lowered, the edge of the main body of the hospital bed is open; a guardrail control switch independently controls the raising and lowering of a guardrail; the position of the guardrail control switch and the position of the guardrail controlled by the guardrail control switch are respectively arranged on both sides of the longitudinal center section or longitudinal center line of the main body of the hospital bed, or the position of the guardrail control switch is arranged on the opposite side of the guardrail controlled by it.
