Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cardiac ultrasound examination bed for ultrasound examination, belonging to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the development and progress of society, people are constantly pursuing higher work efficiency. In existing medical institutions, a large number of patients undergo ultrasound examinations every day to determine lesions in their bodies. This is not only highly efficient but also provides a basis for doctors' diagnosis and treatment. Background technology: Currently, the ultrasound examination bed used in clinical practice is mainly composed of a bed board and bed legs.

[0003] However, when patients are unable to move easily, nurses and doctors need to lift them onto the ultrasound examination bed. This is especially true for heavier patients, requiring multiple people to assist, which is very strenuous. This makes it extremely difficult for elderly and frail patients to get onto the bed during ultrasound examinations, greatly increasing the workload for medical staff. During an ultrasound examination, the patient needs to lie on the examination bed. Currently, conventional beds are used for ultrasound examinations, and when examining areas such as the kidneys, the patient needs to turn over and lie on their side to complete the procedure. This is difficult for some frail patients, and even if they can lie on their side, they often cannot maintain the position and need the doctor's assistance, further increasing the workload for medical staff.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a cardiac ultrasound examination bed for ultrasound examination. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (I) The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that it is very difficult for elderly and weak patients to get into bed when undergoing ultrasound examination. Conventional beds cannot meet the requirements for turning over and turning over when performing ultrasound examinations of the kidneys and other parts of the body. Patients have difficulty turning over and cannot persist, which affects the ultrasound examination.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a cardiac ultrasound examination bed, comprising a first bed board, a second bed board rotatably connected to the bottom end of the first bed board, a leg pad embedded in the middle of the second bed board, a third bed board at the top end of the first bed board, a headrest rotatably embedded inside the third bed board, a support leg connected to the bottom of the first bed board, a base installed in the middle of the support leg, a telescopic leg connected to the bottom of the third bed board, the two ends of the bottom of the first bed board being movably engaged by the third bed board and the leg pad respectively, and a support mechanism and an adjustment mechanism connected in the middle of the first bed board and the base.

[0008] The first bed board includes a backrest, armrests are connected to both sides of the backrest, a central shaft is connected to the bottom center of the backrest, a second irregularly shaped locking block is connected to one end of the central shaft, a first irregularly shaped locking block is connected to the other end of the central shaft, and a steering pin is provided between the central shaft and the first irregularly shaped locking block.

[0009] The second bed board includes a first U-shaped pad, a first mounting groove is provided in the middle of the first U-shaped pad, and hinges are provided on both sides of the opening end of the first mounting groove. The hinges are hinged to the first bed board, and a first pin is connected to the other end of the first U-shaped pad in the center.

[0010] The leg pad includes a mattress, which is fitted into the middle of the first mounting groove. One bottom end of the mattress is connected to a first irregularly shaped slot, which is fitted onto the outside of the first irregularly shaped block. One end of the first irregularly shaped slot has a waist-shaped groove, which is movably fitted with a steering pin. The other bottom end of the mattress is connected to a first connecting sleeve, which is fitted onto the outside of the second bed board.

[0011] The mattress has an upward foot pedal connected to one end near the first connecting sleeve.

[0012] The third bed board includes a second U-shaped pad, a second mounting groove is provided in the middle of the second U-shaped pad, and a second pin is connected to the bottom of the second U-shaped pad in the center.

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0018] The beneficial effects of the cardiac ultrasound examination bed provided by this invention are as follows:

[0019] 1. By setting left-right flipping leg pads in the middle of the second bed board and left-right flipping headrests in the middle of the third bed board, the leg pads, headrests, and first bed board maintain a unified axis of rotation when the examination device is in a flat state. This allows the leg pads, headrests, and first bed board to move the patient to the left or right, adjusting the patient's posture and facilitating examination of different positions. This avoids difficulties in turning the patient over, which could lead to inconvenience in examining certain positions.

[0020] 2. By setting up a segmented third bed board, first bed board, and second bed board, it is easy to fold and flatten the first bed board, second bed board, and third bed board. The bottom two ends of the first bed board are separated from the second and third bed boards. The first and second bed boards are supported by telescopic legs and support legs, so that the examination bed can be adjusted from a bed form to a seat form. This makes the examination bed flexible and suitable for ultrasound examinations of different parts of the body. In addition, the examination bed can also make it easy for patients to get up and lie down during the adjustment process, avoiding the inconvenience of getting up and lying down for the elderly and some patients with physical discomfort during the examination.

[0021] 3. By connecting the support mechanism and the adjustment mechanism at the bottom of the first bed board, the connecting seat is rolled to the base, and the connecting seat is connected to the first bed board through an electric push rod, so that the motor drives the connecting seat to rotate, thereby using the electric push rod to twist the first bed board to flip, controlling the installation angle of the first bed board. The support block is rolled to the column, so that after the support block supports the bottom of the first bed board, it flips on the column with the first bed board, ensuring the stability of the first bed board when flipping.

The central shaft 13 at the bottom of the backrest 11 is the center of rotation. The first irregularly shaped locking block 14 and the second irregularly shaped locking block 16 at both ends of the central shaft 13 are connected to the leg pad 3 and the head pillow 5 to form a whole, which drives the leg pad 3 and the head pillow 5 to rotate, making it easier to adjust the patient's posture and facilitate the examination.

[0034] The second bed board 2 includes a first U-shaped pad 21. A first mounting groove 24 is provided in the middle of the first U-shaped pad 21, and hinges 22 are provided on both sides of the opening end of the first mounting groove 24. The hinges 22 are hinged to the first bed board 1. A first pin 23 is connected to the other end of the first U-shaped pad 21 in the center. The area of ​​the first U-shaped pad 21 and the leg pad 3 when laid flat is sufficient for the patient to sit or lie down, ensuring the patient's comfort during the examination.

[0035] The leg pad 3 includes a mattress 31, which is fitted into the middle of the first mounting slot 24. One bottom end of the mattress 31 is connected to a first irregularly shaped slot 34, which is fitted onto the outside of the first irregularly shaped block 14. One end of the first irregularly shaped slot 34 has a waist-shaped groove 35, which is movably fitted with a turning pin 15. The other bottom end of the mattress 31 is connected to a first connecting sleeve 33, which fits onto the outside of the second bed board 2. The leg pad 3 is connected to the inside of the second bed board 2 and moves with the first bed board 1 to support the patient's waist, hips, and lower limbs when lying flat, and to facilitate the patient's whole body turning over, making it easier for the patient to turn over for examination and avoiding discomfort for some patients who are unable to cooperate with medical staff for turning over for examination.

[0036] The mattress 31 is connected to an upward foot pedal 32 at one end near the first connecting sleeve 33. The foot pedal 32 is designed to support the patient's feet, allowing the patient to step on the foot pedal 32 and giving the patient a sense of security.

[0037] The third bed board 4 includes a second U-shaped pad 41, a second mounting groove 42 is provided in the middle of the second U-shaped pad 41, and a second pin 43 is connected to the bottom of the second U-shaped pad 41. The third bed board 4 is connected to the top of the telescopic leg 6 to connect to and swing the headrest 5, so that the headrest 5 can be flipped and tested.

[0038] The headrest 5 includes a pillow pad 51. A second irregularly shaped slot 53 is centrally connected to one bottom end of the pillow pad 51. The second irregularly shaped slot 53 is fitted with a second irregularly shaped block 16. A second connecting sleeve 52 is centrally connected to the other bottom end of the pillow pad 51 and fitted with a second pin 43. The pillow pad 51 is located above the first bed board 1 and is used to fix the patient's head. It swings with the first bed board 1, which facilitates the overall rotation of the patient's body and facilitates ultrasound examination of the patient's waist, ensuring the patient's comfort during the examination.

[0039] The support mechanism 8 includes a support block 81, which is U-shaped and located in the lower center of the first bed board 1. The circumferential surface of the support block 81 has a movable groove 82 and is symmetrically connected to two columns 83. The support block 81 is supported and connected to the base 10 and is in contact with the bottom surface of the first bed board 1. When the first bed board 1 is flat, the support mechanism 8 supports the waist of the first bed board 1 to prevent the bottom of the first bed board 1 from being suspended and to ensure the stability of the first bed board 1. After the support block 81 contacts the first bed board 1, it is slidably installed with the columns 83, so that the support block 81 can swing left and right with the first bed board 1, which facilitates the stable and sturdy use of the first bed board 1.

[0040] The adjustment mechanism 9 includes a connecting seat 91. Two electric push rods 92 are symmetrically connected to one end of the connecting seat 91. The two electric push rods 92 are respectively connected to the bottom sides of the first bed board 1. A tooth 94 is installed on the other end of the connecting seat 91. A motor 95 is connected to one end of the tooth 94. A guide groove 93 is opened on the bottom surface of the tooth 94. The connection of the electric push rods 92 ensures the torsional connection between the first bed board 1 and the base 10. The extension and retraction of the electric push rods 92 drives the first bed board 1 to flip up and down, which facilitates the adjustment of the placement angle of the first bed board 1 and makes it convenient for patients to use.

[0041] The base 10 includes a base plate 1001. The portion of the base plate 1001 located at the adjustment mechanism 9 has a groove 1002 that engages with the connecting seat 91. A guide block 1003 protrudes from the center of the groove 1002 and engages with the guide groove 93. The base plate 1001 connects and supports the four support legs 7 at the bottom of the second bed board 2, increasing the overall stability of the device. The groove 1002 and the guide block 1003 are connected to the adjustment mechanism 9, allowing the adjustment mechanism 9 to roll on the base 10 without separating, making the connection between the adjustment mechanism 9 and the first bed board 1 more stable and preventing the entire examination bed from becoming loose or unstable.

[0042] Specifically, when using this cardiac ultrasound examination bed: it is equipped with a segmented third bed board 4, a first bed board 1, and a second bed board 2. A left-right folding leg pad 3 is installed in the middle of the second bed board 2, and a left-right folding headrest 5 is installed in the middle of the third bed board 4. This ensures that when the examination bed is in a flat position, the leg pad 3, headrest 5, and first bed board 1 maintain a unified axis of rotation. When the first bed board 1, second bed board 2, and third bed board 4 are folded flat, the bottom ends of the first bed board 1 are separated from the second bed board 2 and third bed board 4. The first bed board 1 and second bed board 2 are supported by telescopic legs 6 and support legs 7. A connecting seat 91 is connected to the first bed board 1 via an electric push rod 92, causing a motor 95 to drive the connecting seat 91 to rotate. The electric push rod 92 is used to twist and rotate the first bed board 1, controlling the installation angle of the first bed board 1. This allows the leg pad 3, headrest 5, and first bed board 1 to move the patient to the left or right, adjusting the patient's posture and allowing for examinations in different positions. This avoids difficulty in turning the patient over. The entire examination bed can be adjusted from a bed to a seat. When the electric push rod 92 extends, it pushes the first bed board 1 upwards, causing the first bed board 1 and the second bed board 2 to hinge and flip upwards along the hinge. This allows for flexible use of the entire examination bed, making it suitable for ultrasound examinations in different parts of the body. It also facilitates the patient's getting up and lying down, avoiding inconvenience for the elderly and some patients with physical discomfort during examinations, and ensuring the stability of the first bed board 1 during rotation.

[0043] The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the invention.
