Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a novel bed guard rail plate, which is symmetrically installed on the bed risers on both sides of a bed. BACKGROUND

[0002] To prevent patients from falling and reduce the workload of nursing, a bed guard rail is usually installed on both sides of a bed. The conventional bed guard rail is of a fence type, which includes a guard rail connecting beam, a cross beam and a plurality of vertical beams. The vertical beams are arranged at intervals above the guard rail connecting beam and are hingedly connected to the guard rail connecting beam. The cross beam is arranged above the vertical beams and is hingedly connected to each vertical beam. This bed guard rail has a simple structure but a single function. For example, when a patient needs to get out of bed, the entire bed guard rail needs to be folded and stored on the bed riser. At the same time, as the entire bed guard rail is folded and lowered, there is no handrail for the patient to hold onto after getting out of bed, which can easily cause the patient to fall, causing a lot of trouble for medical staff.

[0003] To meet the increasing functional requirements of patients for beds, many improvements have been made to bed guard rails by those skilled in the art. For example, the patent "Bed Guard Rail" (Patent No. 202121673488.6) reduces the gap of the bed guard rail, which can prevent pediatric patients from falling; the patent "Bed Guard Rail" (Patent No. 202121447488.4) adds a movable guard rail, which can adjust the length of the guard rail to block the gap according to the patient's condition, effectively reducing the rate of falling out of bed. The patent "Adjustable and Flip-over Guard Rail for Bed" (Patent No. 202121709559.3) hingedly connects a free plate to a fixed plate, and only needs to push the free plate to open the guard rail set, which is convenient for the patient to get out of bed.

[0004] The patents "Bed Guard Rail" (Patent No. 202121673488.6) and "Bed Guard Rail" (Patent No. 202121447488.4) are still fence-type guard rails, which do not solve the problems of inconvenience for patients to get out of bed and lack of handrails after getting out of bed. Although the patent "Adjustable and Flip-over Guard Rail for Bed" (Patent No. 202121709559.3) solves the problems of inconvenience for patients to get out of bed and lack of handrails after getting out of bed, the fixed plate is fixed to the bed unit by a vertical rod, and cannot be flipped down or folded and stored to be opened as a whole, which is very troublesome for the bed to transport patients.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a bed guard rail plate that is convenient for patients to get out of bed and has handrails after getting out of bed, and at the same time, the bed guard rail plate can be opened as a whole, and the bed is convenient for transporting patients. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application mainly solves the technical problems existing in the prior art and provides a novel bed guard rail plate.

[0007] The above technical problems of the present application are mainly solved by the following technical solutions:

[0008] A novel guard rail plate of a sickbed, which is symmetrically installed on the bed risers on both sides of the sickbed, is characterized in that the main body of the guard rail plate is composed of two symmetrically arranged guard plates, a hinge is arranged on the outer side of the joint of the two guard plates, a lock catch is arranged on the inner side of the joint of the two guard plates, a rotating shaft is arranged at the lower end of the guard plate, an arc-shaped notch is arranged at the inner end of the lower part of the guard plate, the arc-shaped notches of the two guard plates are combined to form a circular arc-shaped notch in the open state, the hinge and the lock catch are arranged on the inner end of the upper part of the guard plate, the rotating shaft is arranged in the shaft hole of the shaft seat, the shaft seat on the head side of the sickbed is closed, i.e., the shaft hole of the shaft seat is in a cylindrical shape, the shaft seat on the tail side of the sickbed is open, i.e., the shaft hole of the shaft seat is in an arc groove shape and opens upward, or the shaft seats on the head side and the tail side of the sickbed are both open, i.e., the shaft hole of the shaft seat is in an arc groove shape and opens upward, an elastic pin is arranged at the lower end of the support column, a pin hole is arranged on the clamp, when the lower end of the support column is inserted into the clamping hole of the clamp, the end of the elastic pin is inserted into the pin hole to lock the support column in the clamping hole of the clamp, the top end surface of the support column is flush with the top end surface of the guard plate, a clamping edge is arranged on the outer end surface of the guard plate, a clamping groove is arranged on the inner end surface of the support column, the distance H1 from the top end surface of the clamping edge to the top end surface of the guard plate is equal to the distance H2 from the top end surface of the clamping groove to the top end surface of the support column, the clamping edge penetrates to the bottom of the outer end surface of the guard plate, and the clamping groove penetrates to the bottom of the inner end surface of the support column, and when assembled, the clamping edge is slidably fitted in the clamping groove to connect the support column and the guard plate into an integral whole.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping edge is a dovetail edge or a cylindrical edge, and the clamping groove is a dovetail groove or a cylindrical groove.

[0010] Preferably, a handrail is arranged at the middle of the upper end of the guard plate, and a protective sleeve made of elastic soft material is sleeved on the handrail.

[0011] Preferably, a call button is arranged on the inner side of the guard plate on the head side of the sickbed, and the call button is connected to the calling system of the sick area through a wire.

[0012] In normal use, the two protective plates of this invention are opened and locked in place by the latches, preventing the two protective plates from flipping over each other. The rotating shaft at the lower end of the protective plate is set in the shaft hole of the bearing seat, and the lower end of the support column is inserted into the clamp hole. The elastic pin at the lower end of the support column springs into the pin hole on the clamp, thereby locking the support column in the clamp hole. The support column cannot move up or down or flip over. At the same time, because the locking edge slides in the slot to connect the support column and the protective plate into one piece, the protective plate also cannot move up or down or flip over. At this point, the invention serves a protective function, preventing patients from falling off the bed. Simultaneously, if the patient needs to sit on the bed and move around a bit, they can extend their legs through the arc-shaped opening, lean their upper body against the headboard, or hold onto the armrests, making the sitting posture quite comfortable. The armrest covers are made of elastic soft materials, such as cotton or plastic, to facilitate hand grip exercises. A call button is located on the inner side of the headboard, within easy reach of the patient, allowing them to press the call button at any time for help and assistance, making it practical and convenient.

[0013] When a patient needs to get out of bed, press the elastic pin on the support column at the foot of the bed, pull the support column upward to release it from the clamp, and simultaneously unlock the latch. Since the bearing seat at the foot of the bed is open, the pivot at the lower end of the side panel can also be released from the bearing seat. At this point, the side panel at the foot of the bed can be flipped to the other side panel until the two panels are together. Half of the bed guardrail is open while the other half remains in the protective state, making it convenient for the patient to get out of bed. After getting out of bed, the patient can grasp the other side panel to move around. This provides excellent protection, especially for patients who get out of bed early, and can reduce the workload of nursing staff. There is a call button on the inner side of the side panel at the head of the bed, which is within easy reach of the patient. The patient can press the call button at any time to seek help and assistance, making it practical and convenient.

[0014] When a patient needs to be transferred to another bed, press down the elastic pins on the two support columns, pull the support columns upward to release them from the clamps, then rotate the two guard plates downward around the pivot to a vertical position, and then insert the support columns into the clamps from bottom to top. The other end of the elastic pin will spring into the pin hole on the clamp, locking the support columns in the clamp's locking hole. The entire bed guardrail will then open, facilitating the transfer of the patient.

[0015] This invention facilitates patients getting out of bed, provides handrails for them to hold onto after getting out of bed, and allows the bed's protective railings to be flipped down and opened as a whole, making it convenient for transferring patients. Therefore, it features a simple structure and a reasonable design. Attached Figure Description
