Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bed lifting technology, and in particular to a method for vertically lifting a bed. Background Technology

[0002] Lifting beds are common medical devices. Patients lie on the bed board of the lifting bed, and the height can be adjusted according to their needs.

[0003] A scissor-type hospital bed disclosed in related technology comprises a bed board, a bed frame, and bed legs; two bed legs are pivotally connected to the lower left and right sides of the bed frame; each pair of bed legs on the same side are pivotally connected together in a scissor shape; a support rod is fixed between each pair of symmetrical bed legs, and a first electric push rod is installed between the two support rods; the bed board is divided into a head section, a middle fixed section, a middle movable section, and a foot section; the end of the head section near the foot is pivotally connected to the bed frame, and a second electric push rod is installed between the head section and the bed frame; the middle fixed section is fixedly installed on the bed frame; the end of the middle movable section near the head is pivotally connected to the bed frame, and the end near the foot is pivotally connected to the end of the foot section near the head; the end of the foot section near the foot is pivotally connected to one end of a swing arm, and the other end of the swing arm is pivotally connected to the bed frame; a third electric push rod is installed between the foot section and the bed frame.

[0004] Currently, traditional bed lifting mechanisms use a scissor-type mechanism, which has a limited range of motion, especially when the bed surface is lowered, resulting in a relatively large overall height. This lifting mechanism also restricts the bed's dimensions, reducing the amount of material that can be packed into a cabinet and increasing transportation costs. Furthermore, because existing scissor-type lifting mechanisms use deep groove ball bearings on the outer support arms, and one end of the scissor-type mechanism is fixed and rotated with the bed legs, the casters on the bed legs can shift during lifting, potentially causing the bed to move and posing a safety hazard.

Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0045] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a method for vertically lifting a bed, including a bed frame assembly 1, an outer support arm assembly 2, a connecting rod 3, a drive assembly 4, and a bed leg assembly 5;

[0046] Among them, one end of the outer support arm assembly 2 and the bed frame assembly 1 have a first hinge I, the other end of the outer support arm assembly 2, the bed leg assembly 5 and one end of the connecting rod 3 have a second hinge II, and the other end of the connecting rod 3, the bed frame assembly 1 and the bed leg assembly 5 have a third hinge III.

[0047] Among them, the drive assembly 4 drives one end of the outer support arm assembly 2 to perform an arc motion with the first hinge point I as the center, and the other end of the outer support arm assembly 2 to perform an arc motion with the second hinge point II. The bed leg assembly 5 performs an arc motion with the bottom of the bed leg assembly 5 as the center, and the bed leg assembly 5 performs a lifting action at the third hinge point III.

[0048] In this embodiment, during the vertical lifting of the bed: the drive assembly 4 drives one end of the outer support arm assembly 2 to perform an arc motion downwards around the first hinge point I, while the other end of the outer support arm assembly 2 performs an arc motion downwards around the second hinge point II. The bed leg assembly 5 performs an arc motion downwards around its bottom, and the bed leg assembly 5 lifts at one end of the third hinge point III. Furthermore, the first hinge point I, the second hinge point II, and the third hinge point III cooperate to achieve the lifting action of the bed leg assembly 5, which in turn drives the bed to rise vertically.

[0049] In this embodiment, during the vertical descent of the bed: the drive assembly 4 drives one end of the outer support arm assembly 2 to perform an arc motion with the first hinge point I as the center, and the other end of the outer support arm assembly 2 to perform an arc motion upward with the second hinge point II. The bed leg assembly 5 performs an arc motion upward with the bottom of the bed leg assembly 5 as the center, and the bed leg assembly 5 performs a descent action at one end of the third hinge point III. Furthermore, the first hinge point I, the second hinge point II, and the third hinge point III cooperate with each other to realize the descent action of the bed leg assembly 5, and the descent of the bed leg assembly 5 can drive the cooperating bed to descend vertically.

[0050] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the bed frame assembly 1 includes a bed frame 6, a slide rail 7, a first crossbeam 8, and a support arm adapter 9; the slide rail 7 is connected to the inner side of the bed frame 6, the first crossbeam 8 is connected to the end of the bed frame 6, and the support arm adapter 9 is connected to the first crossbeam 8; the outer support arm assembly 2 includes an outer support arm frame 10, one end of the outer support arm frame 10 is hinged to the support arm adapter 9 to form a first hinge point I, and the other end of the outer support arm frame 10 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 3 to form a second hinge point II; the bed leg assembly 5 The device includes a bed leg frame 11 and a slide 12. The slide 12 is connected to the inner side of the bed leg frame 11. The upper end of the bed leg frame 11 and the other end of the connecting rod 3 are hinged to form a third hinge point III. The third hinge point III of the bed leg frame 11 and the connecting rod 3 is provided with a first deep groove ball bearing 13, which is placed inside the slide 7. The second hinge point II of the outer support arm frame 10 and the connecting rod 3 is provided with a second deep groove ball bearing 14, which is placed inside the slide 12.

[0051] Specifically, the outer support arm frame 10 and the support arm adapter 9 are hinged to form the first hinge point I, which allows relative rotation between the outer support arm frame 10 and the support arm adapter 9. The outer support arm frame 10 and the connecting rod 3 are hinged to form the second hinge point II, which also allows relative rotation between the outer support arm frame 10 and the connecting rod 3. At the same time, the second deep groove ball bearing 14 configured at the second hinge point II can slide up and down inside the slide groove 12 to accommodate the height difference caused by the relative rotation between the outer support arm frame 10 and the connecting rod 3. The bed leg frame 11 and the connecting rod 3 are hinged to form the third hinge point III, which allows relative rotation between the bed leg frame 11 and the connecting rod 3. At the same time, the first deep groove ball bearing 13 configured at the third hinge point III can slide left and right inside the slide rail 7 to accommodate the lateral displacement caused by the lifting and lowering of the bed leg frame 11.

[0052] While performing the rotational action, the second hinge II also performs linear motion along the slide groove 12 through the second deep groove ball bearing 14; the third hinge III also performs linear motion along the slide 7 through the first deep groove ball bearing 13 to adapt to the overall lifting action.

[0053] In this embodiment, there are two sets of first crossbeams 8, which are connected to both ends of the bed frame 6. Each set of first crossbeams 8 is connected to a pair of support arm adapters 9. Each pair of support arm adapters 9 is connected to an outer support arm frame 10. Each outer support arm assembly 2 is connected to a bed leg assembly 5 through a pair of connecting rods 3. The outer side of the bed leg frame 11 is connected to a first leg shaft 22, and a first deep groove ball bearing 13 is connected to the first leg shaft 22.

[0054] Specifically, the two first crossbeams 8 are connected to the two outer support arm frames 10 via two support arm adapters 9. Each outer support arm frame 10 is then connected to a bed leg assembly 5 via a pair of connecting rods 3. That is, the outer support arm assembly 2, connecting rods 3, and bed leg assembly 5 are symmetrically designed with respect to the bed frame assembly 1, thereby achieving end support and lifting of the bed frame assembly 1. Among them, the first support leg shaft 22 serves as the connection between the bed leg frame 11 and the first deep groove ball bearing 13. When the first deep groove ball bearing 13 slides left and right inside the slide rail 7, the first deep groove ball bearing 13 rotates relative to the first support leg shaft 22.

[0055] In this embodiment, the bed frame assembly 1 further includes a second crossbeam 15, the end of which is connected to the inner side of the bed frame 6, and the side of the second crossbeam 15 is connected to a first push rod adapter 16; the outer support arm assembly 2 further includes a third crossbeam 17, which is connected to the inner side of the outer support arm frame 10, and the middle of the third crossbeam 17 is connected to a second push rod adapter 18; a lifting electric push rod 19 is connected between the first push rod adapter 16 and the second push rod adapter 18. There are two sets of first push rod adapters 16, connected to both sides of the second crossbeam 15; a second push rod adapter 18 is connected to the middle of the third crossbeam 17 of each outer support arm assembly 2; there are two sets of lifting electric push rods 19, each connected between each set of first push rod adapters 16 and each set of second push rod adapters 18.

[0056] Specifically, the second crossbeam 15 serves to install the first push rod adapter 16, and the fixed end of the first push rod adapter 16 and the lifting electric push rod 19 are hinged together. The third crossbeam 17 serves to install the second push rod adapter 18, and the driving end of the second push rod adapter 18 and the lifting electric push rod 19 are hinged together. Since the bed leg assembly 5, the outer support arm assembly 2 and the bed leg assembly 5 are symmetrically designed, the lifting electric push rod 19 used in the drive assembly 4 is also provided in two sets. The two sets of lifting electric push rods 19 can directly drive the outer support arm assembly 2, and the outer support arm assembly 2 drives the bed leg assembly 5 to rise or fall.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first crossbeam 8 is connected to a controller mounting plate 20, and the upper end of the controller mounting plate 20 is connected to an electric push rod controller 21. The electric push rod controller 21 is used to control the movement of the lifting electric push rod 19. The outer support arm frame 10 and the third crossbeam 17 are connected in an I-shape. The outer support arm frame 10 is provided with a threaded hole that is hinged to the connecting rod 3. The outer side of the outer support arm frame 10 is connected to a second support leg shaft 23, and the second deep groove ball bearing 14 is connected to the second support leg shaft 23.

[0058] Specifically, the controller mounting plate 20 serves to mount the electric push rod controller 21. The electric push rod controller 21 is electrically connected to the lifting electric push rod 19. A remote control can be configured on the electric push rod controller 21 to control the movement of the lifting electric push rod 19. Since the outer support arm frame 10 and the third crossbeam 17 are I-shaped, they can drive the two bed leg frames 11 arranged side by side on both sides of the outer support arm frame 10. The outer support arm frame 10 and the connecting rod 3 are fixed together by hinge bolts. At the same time, when the second deep groove ball bearing 14 moves in the slide groove 12, the second deep groove ball bearing 14 rotates relative to the second support leg shaft 23.

[0059] See Figure 5In this embodiment, the bed leg assembly 5 also includes a horizontal shaft tube 24 and a caster assembly 25. The horizontal shaft tube 24 is connected to the lower end of the bed leg frame 11. The caster assembly 25 includes a caster mounting seat 26 and a caster body 27. The middle part of the caster mounting seat 26 is connected to the end of the horizontal shaft tube 24, and the caster body 27 is connected to the caster mounting seat 26.

[0060] Specifically, the caster assembly 25 is installed on the left and right sides of the horizontal shaft tube 24 of the bed leg frame 11, and the horizontal shaft tube 24 of the bed leg frame 11 can rotate within the shaft hole of the caster assembly 25. Since one end of the lifting electric push rod 19 is hinged to the bed frame 6 and the other end of the lifting electric push rod 19 is hinged to the outer support arm frame 10, the outer support arm frame 10 can only move downward in an arc within the slide groove 12 on the bed leg frame 11 with the end hinged to the bed frame 6 as the center. Therefore, the bed leg frame 11 is subjected to a backward pulling force. Since the first deep groove ball bearing 13 on the bed leg frame 11 is within the slide rail 7 on the bed frame 6, one end of the bed leg frame 11, with the caster assembly 25 as the center, rises at the end where the first deep groove ball bearing 13 is installed, thereby pushing the bed frame 6 to rise, and vice versa.

[0061] In summary, the present invention comprises a bed frame assembly 1, an outer support arm assembly 2, a connecting rod 3, a drive assembly 4, and a bed leg assembly 5. One end of the outer support arm assembly 2 and the bed frame assembly 1 have a first hinge point I, the other end of the outer support arm assembly 2, the bed leg assembly 5, and one end of the connecting rod 3 have a second hinge point II, and the other end of the connecting rod 3, the bed frame assembly 1, and the bed leg assembly 5 have a third hinge point III. The drive assembly 4 drives one end of the outer support arm assembly 2 to perform an arc motion around the first hinge point I, and the other end of the outer support arm assembly 2 to perform an arc motion around the bottom of the bed leg assembly 5. The bed leg assembly 5 performs a lifting and lowering action at the third hinge point III. The outer support arm frame 10 and the support arm adapter 9 are hinged to form a first hinge point I, allowing relative rotation between them. The outer support arm frame 10 and the connecting rod 3 are hinged to form a second hinge point II, allowing relative rotation between them. Simultaneously, the second deep groove ball bearing 14 at the second hinge point II can slide up and down within the slide groove 12 to accommodate the height difference caused by the relative rotation between the outer support arm frame 10 and the connecting rod 3. The bed leg frame 11 and the connecting rod 3 are hinged to form a third hinge point III, allowing relative rotation between them. Simultaneously, the first deep groove ball bearing 13 at the third hinge point III can slide left and right within the slide rail 7 to accommodate the lateral displacement caused by the lifting and lowering of the bed leg frame 11. This invention allows the bed to be lowered to a minimum height, reducing the overall dimensions of the bed, increasing the amount of cabinet space required, and reducing transportation costs. It also eliminates the displacement of the casters during lifting and lowering, enhancing the stability and safety of the bed structure.
