Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a manual back-mounted transfer machine. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] For patients with disabilities or lower limb paralysis, caregivers are needed to assist them with daily activities such as bathing, toileting, getting out of bed, and moving around. These activities are a heavy burden for caregivers. The transfer machine is a short-distance assistive transfer device that is widely applicable to elderly people with paralysis, disability, or partial disability who have difficulty moving around. It has become an indispensable part of the assistive device industry for disabled people.

[0004] Existing seated patient transfer machines have limited functionality, only meeting the needs of short-distance patient relocation. For disabled individuals with limited mobility or lower limb limitations, the process of moving them to the machine is physically demanding for caregivers. While ceiling-mounted electric patient transfer machines offer poor comfort, are expensive, and require specific space for relocation, they rely on straps to suspend the patient and use rails for transfer. During this process, the straps exert pressure on the patient's inner thighs, causing marks from gravity and limiting their suitability for short-distance transfers. Furthermore, ceiling-mounted electric patient transfer machines are unsuitable for confined spaces, requiring numerous rails within the transfer area, thus being limited by spatial constraints. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a manual back transfer machine, which solves the technical problems of existing transfer machines that can only meet the needs of short-distance patient transfer, have high requirements for the transfer site, and are severely affected by spatial location.

[0038] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0039] As described in the background section, existing transfer machines can only meet the problem of short-distance patient transfer, have high requirements for the transfer site, and are severely affected by spatial location. In order to solve the above technical problems, this invention proposes a manual back transfer machine.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to Figures 1-9 As shown, a manual back-carrying transfer machine includes a base 1 and a support 8. The support 8 is mounted on the base 1, and leg rest mechanisms 9 are fixed on both sides of the support. The support is inclined on the base. A support mechanism 7 is mounted on one side of the support 8 and is set at a set angle with the support when not in use. The support 7 has a buffer mechanism inside. The support is U-shaped, and the support mechanism is located on the opening side of the support. The bottom end of the support mechanism 7 is rotatably connected to the base 1 and can rotate to the inside of the support. When it is necessary to carry the patient, the support mechanism rotates to the inside of the support opening, and the support 8 supports and limits the support mechanism 7 to ensure the stability of the transfer machine during movement.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, support plates 9-1 are installed on both sides of the support 8. The support plates are positioned near the top of the support and are perpendicular to the outer edge of the support, extending towards both sides of the support. At least two ear plates 9-2 are vertically installed on the support plates, preferably two, arranged side by side. Corresponding through holes are provided on the ear plates. One end of the fixing rod 9-3 passes through the ear plate and is connected to the transverse support rod 9-6. The other end is fixed by a nut to prevent the fixing rod 9-3 from detaching. In some examples, the fixing rod can be a screw rod. Adjusting the position of the nut can realize the extension and retraction of the fixing rod 9-3 on the ear plate. The transverse support rod is parallel to the top surface of the support plate and extends towards both sides of the support. Both ends of the transverse support rod 9-6 are slidably connected to the blocking rod 9-5. Specifically, the connection part of the blocking rod and the transverse support rod has through holes. The two are nested and their relative positions are adjusted by different through holes and pins. The blocking rod is bent. The other end of the blocking rod 9-5 supports the leg support mechanism through the leg guard support rod 9-4.

[0043] The leg support mechanism 9 is tilted relative to the base 1 so that when the patient is carried by the transfer machine, the patient's knees and the part below the knees can rest on the leg support mechanism 9 for support. The leg support mechanism 9 is U-shaped, which effectively protects the patient's legs. The U-shaped structure can also prevent the patient's legs from slipping off. The leg support mechanism 9 is equipped with a support pad to enhance the patient's comfort.

[0044] In this embodiment, the support mechanism 7 is a support base, and its internal buffer mechanism is a gas spring, which is intended to prevent the patient carried on the transfer machine from suddenly falling and to protect the patient's safety.

[0045] The lever mechanism 13 is a two-section lever mechanism with a symmetrical structure. It is set on both sides of the support mechanism 7 to achieve symmetrical arrangement. The first section is rotatably connected to the top of the support mechanism 7 through the first linkage mechanism. The end of the first section supports the chest support mechanism 5. The chest support mechanism 5 is installed on both sides to support the patient's armpit support mechanism 6. One end of the second section is rotatably connected to the first section, and the other end is bent and has a movable handle 2. The head protection mechanism 4 is fixed on one side of the movable handle.

[0046] The first linkage mechanism is existing technology, which can be achieved by rotating the first end of the lever mechanism to the top of the support structure. The purpose of the chest support mechanism 5 is to support the patient's chest, and its area is set according to the area of ​​the patient's chest. The purpose of the fork support mechanism 6 is to support the patient's armpit, so that the armpit can bear the force. The fork support mechanism 6 is bent to prevent the patient from falling off. Support pads are set on both the chest support mechanism 5 and the fork support mechanism 6 to improve the patient's comfort.

[0047] like Figures 7-8 As shown, a limiting block is provided around the end of the first segment of the lever mechanism 13. The limiting block is fixed around the end of the first segment of the lever mechanism, and the bottom part of the limiting block at the end of the first segment of the lever mechanism protrudes by a certain length to support the second segment of the lever mechanism 13. This ensures that when the two ends of the lever mechanism 13 rotate relative to each other, only the second segment can rotate clockwise. When the two segments rotate counterclockwise to the point where they are joined, they cannot continue to rotate. This allows pressure to be applied through the moving handle 2 at the end of the second segment to carry the patient onto the transfer machine using the lever principle. The top part of the limiting block is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 12-2. The bottom of the connecting plate is fixed with the locking plate 12-1. The connecting plate fixes the locking block to the bottom of the locking plate with bolts. The locking block engages with the groove on the end of the second segment of the lever mechanism.

[0048] The above structure forms the locking mechanism 12. By moving the locking plate 12-1, the locking block is disengaged from the groove, which facilitates the clockwise rotation of the second section of the lever mechanism, thereby enabling the storage of the shifting machine when not in use and saving space occupied by the device.

[0049] Because the lever mechanism has a symmetrical structure, the movable handle 2 bends and extends towards both sides of the lever end. A safety handle support rod 3-1 is installed near the second end of the lever mechanism 13, and a safety handle 3 is mounted on the safety handle support rod 3-1. The safety handle support rod 3-1 is composed of multiple nested support rods, and through holes are provided around the joints. The multiple support rods are fixed by the limiting member 3-2, allowing for adjustment of the position of the safety handle 3. Figure 7 As shown, the safety handle 3 is located below the movable handle 2, making it easier for the patient to grasp the safety handle 3 and improving the patient's sense of security. Similarly, the safety handle 3 is also symmetrically arranged relative to the lever.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the head protection mechanism 4 is located inside the lever and inside the moving handle support rod 2-1 in the middle of the moving handle 2. The head protection mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the sleeve 4-1 through the head protection support rod 4-2. The two are slidably engaged through a through hole, and their relative positions are adjustable by changing the position of the pin. The sleeve is located in the middle of the symmetrical lever mechanism, and its bottom is supported by the sleeve support rod 4-4. The sleeve support rod 4-4 is perpendicular to the sleeve 4-1. A fixing block 4-3 is installed inside the lever mechanism 13. The sleeve support rod passes through the fixing block and is slidably engaged with the fixing block. It passes through the through hole of the fixing block, and the sleeve support rod is evenly provided with adjustment holes. A fixing member 4-5 is provided on one side of the fixing block to limit the relative position of the fixing block and the sleeve support rod. The fixing member is inserted into the fixing block and engages with the sleeve support rod, thereby realizing the up, down, left, and right position adjustment of the head protection mechanism. The fixing member is an insert block.

[0051] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a slider 7-1 is located on the side of the support mechanism away from the support base. The slider moves along the support mechanism, and the buffer mechanism is a gas spring, with the top of the gas spring supporting the slider 7-1. A chest-supporting seat 5-1 is located at the inner end of the first section of the lever mechanism. The chest-supporting seat supports the chest-supporting mechanism via a support rod. The position of the chest-supporting mechanism relative to the support rod is rotatable and adjustable, which can be achieved by setting the support rod as a telescopic rod. The chest-supporting seat is located above the slider. The purpose is to prevent the patient carried on the transfer machine from suddenly falling and to protect the patient's safety. The slider, through the action of the gas spring, supports and buffers the chest-supporting seat. The slider has a limiting hole 7-2, and a corresponding limiting hole can also be set on the chest-supporting seat. When the patient is transferred onto the machine, the slider and the chest-supporting seat can be fixed using a pin.

[0052] A moving mechanism is installed at the bottom of the base. The moving mechanism includes a medical central control wheel 11 and a universal wheel 10. The universal wheel 10 is installed at the end of the base on the other side of the support mechanism relative to the support, and two of them are provided. The medical central control wheel 11 is installed at the other end of the base, and two of them are provided. The distance from the support mechanism to the universal wheel is greater than the distance to the medical central control wheel, which makes it easier to move the transfer machine to the closest point to the bedside and facilitates lifting and supporting the patient.

[0053] Before starting the transfer, the person being cared for should be seated with their legs hanging naturally. The caregiver pushes the transfer machine in front of the person being cared for, inserts the casters into the bed or seat, and locks the medical control wheels. With the assistance of the caregiver or by the person being cared for themselves, they place their legs on the base and press them firmly against the leg rest mechanism. They lean forward, pressing their chest against the chest rest mechanism, and hold the safety handrails. They should have a clear field of vision to communicate face-to-face with the caregiver. At the same time, they should hold the fork support mechanism under their armpits. At this time, the person being cared for mainly bears the weight under their armpits. The caregiver adjusts the chest rest mechanism and leg rest mechanism to ensure a comfortable posture during the transfer.

[0054] The caregiver presses down on the moving handrail, slowly raising the person to a suitable height. The slider and chest support are locked, and the headrest mechanism is adjusted to prevent neck strain and ensure a comfortable head position for the relocation. The caregiver then unlocks the medical control wheels and slowly moves the person to the desired position. During relocation, the main support is provided to the person's chest, making the person's posture convenient for sitting on the toilet or bed. This completes one relocation procedure.

[0055] After the shifting machine is used, the second section of the lever mechanism can be folded away to save space occupied by the shifting machine.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
