[0029] Example 1

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a field folding emergency stretcher 2 is characterized in that it includes a backpack 1 and a stretcher 2, wherein a protrusion 11 is provided on the top of the backpack 1, a support rod 12 is provided on the protrusion 11, and nuts 13 are threadedly connected on both sides of the support rod 12; the stretcher 2 includes a support frame 21 rotatably mounted on the support rod 12, an extension frame 22 is slidably mounted inside the support frame 21, a rolling frame 23 is slidably mounted below the extension frame 22, a limiting rod 24 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the support frame 21, a sliding component 25 is rotatably mounted on one end of the limiting rod 24, and the sliding component 25 is slidably mounted on the backpack 1, a folding pad 26 is provided on the support frame 21, the extension frame 22 and the rolling frame 23, a limiting component 27 is provided in the middle of the extension frame 22, and buckles 28 are provided on both sides of the support frame 21 and the rolling frame 23. The stretcher 2 is turned by the limit assembly 27, and the stretcher 2 is fixed to the backpack 1 by the sliding assembly 25 and the nut 13, so that the stretcher 2 is convenient to carry. The stretcher 2 can change its structure through the action of the sliding assembly 25, the limit rod 24 and the limit assembly 27, so that different types of transfer methods can be performed according to the patient's condition and the environment.

[0031] The backpack 1 is made of hard material. A first chute 14 is provided in the middle of the rear end of the backpack 1. A plurality of limiting holes 15 are equidistantly provided on both sides of the first chute 14. The first chute 14 is adapted to the slider 251. The hard material can make the stretcher 2 more stable when the backpack 1 bears the stretcher 2. The first chute 14 and the limiting holes 15 can limit the movement of the sliding assembly 25 on the first chute 14, thereby restricting the deflection of the stretcher 2.

[0032] The support frame 21 is a hollow carbon fiber tube with an "I" - shaped structure. Limiting rings 211 are provided on both sides of the front end of the support frame 21. The limiting rings 211 are adapted to the support rods 12. Hand guards 212 are provided on both sides of the front end of the support frame 21. The middle of the support frame 21 is rotatably connected to one end of the limiting rod 24, and the height of the other end of the limiting rod 24 is below the height of the middle of the support frame 21. A plurality of support holes are arrayed on the outer side of the support frame 21. The "I" - shaped structure makes the support frame 21 more stable when bearing the injured. The limiting rings 211 are used to fix the stretcher 2 on the backpack 1 and can also provide a certain deflection angle for the stretcher 2. The height of the other end of the limiting rod 24 is lower than the height of the middle of the support frame 21, which can make a part of the weight of the injured be borne by the lower part of the backpack 1 when bearing the injured, thereby increasing the bearing capacity of the backpack 1.

[0033] The rolling frame 23 is a hollow carbon fiber tube with an "I" - shaped structure. Handrails 231 are provided on both sides of the rear end of the rolling frame 23. The hand guards 212 are provided on the handrails 231. A roller 232 is provided on one side of the handrail 231. A plurality of support holes are provided on the outer side of the rolling frame 23. The hollow carbon fiber tube can provide sufficient support force while also providing a lighter weight, thereby reducing the burden on the carrier.

A spring 256 is provided on one side of the stop block 255. A stop rod 257 is slidably installed in the second chute 253. The end of the stop rod 257 is slidably connected to the stop block 255 through a sliding pin 258. The stop block 255 is pushed by the spring 256 to fix the slider 251 through the first chute 14. The movement of the stop rod 257 can drive the slider 251 to move, thereby releasing the restriction on the slider 251 and enabling the slider 251 to slide.

[0035] The stop block 255 is provided with a stop groove 2551 inclined at 45°, and the stop groove 2551 is adapted to the sliding pin 258. A limit block 2552 is provided at one end of the stop block 255, and the limit block 2552 is adapted to the limit hole 15. The 45° stop groove 2551 allows the sliding pin 258 to slide in the stop groove 2551, and under the action of the stop rod 257, the stop block 255 is retracted into the inside of the slider 251, so that the limit block 2552 is separated from the limit hole 15, thereby releasing the restriction on the slider 251.

[0036] The folding pad 26 is a corrugated elastic pad, which is arranged above the extension frame 22. The two ends of the folding pad 26 are respectively fixedly connected to the rear end of the support frame 21 and the front end of the rolling frame 23. The two ends of the folding pad 26 are provided with airbags 261, which are filled with helium. The corrugated elastic pad allows the folding pad 26 to be unfolded when the extension frame 22 is extended to the support frame 21 and between the extension frame 22 and the rolling frame 23. The provision of the airbags 261 allows the stretcher 2 to be moved through waterways when carrying the injured, thereby increasing the comprehensiveness of the stretcher 2.

[0037] The limiting assembly 27 includes a fixing ring 271 eccentrically arranged at the upper end of the extension frame 22, a plurality of limiting teeth 272 are arranged on both sides of the fixing ring 271, an elastic fixing clip 273 is eccentrically arranged at the lower end of the extension frame 22, a fixing ring 271 is rotatably installed inside the fixing clip 273, a plurality of limiting teeth 272 are arranged inside the fixing clip 273, the fixing ring 271 and the fixing clip 273 are penetrated by a rotating shaft 274, one end of the fixing rod is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing frame, and a cam 275 is eccentrically hinged at the other end of the fixing rod, and the cam 275 is slidably connected to the other side of the fixing frame. The fixing ring 271 and the fixing clip 273 eccentrically arranged on the extension frame 22 enable the extension frame 22 to fit together when rotating, and the elastic fixing clip 273 can drive the fixing clip 273 to close when the cam 275 rotates, so that the fixing ring 271 is fixed by the limiting teeth 272, thereby fixing the extension frame 22.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] The connection relationship between the extension frame 22 of the present invention and the support frame 21 and the rolling frame 23 is the existing telescopic rod structure;

[0040] The carbon fiber tubes used in the support frame 21 and the rolling frame 23 of the present invention have a diameter and thickness that can bear the weight of a human body;

[0041] The limiting teeth 272 of the present invention can cooperate with each other, and after the limiting teeth 272 cooperate, the fixing ring 271 and the fixing clamp 273 are locked, and can resist the weight of the human body;

[0042] The air bag 261 of the present invention can provide buoyancy capable of supporting the weight of a human body in water.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] Working principle: When there is an injured person in the wild, the user moves the folded stretcher 2 to the scene through the backpack 1, and selects different stretcher 2 structures to transfer the patient according to the environment and the patient's injuries;

[0045] When a patient is injured in a flat area, the user uses the limiting assembly 27 to change the stretcher 2 from a folded state to an unfolded state. When the limiting assembly 27 is working: the user rotates the eccentric cam 275 to unfold the elastic fixing clip 273, so that the limiting teeth 272 are separated from each other, so that the fixing clip 273 releases the restriction of the fixing ring 271. When the limiting assemblies 27 on both sides are opened at the same time, the extension frame 22 can be rotated, so that the structure of the stretcher 2 is changed;

[0046] When the stretcher 2 is unfolded, the user presses the stop rod 257 at the same time to make the stop rod 257 move toward the inside of the slider 251. The stop rod 257 moves in the stop groove 2551 through the sliding pin 258, so that the stop block 255 shrinks toward the inside of the slider 251, so that the limit block 2552 is separated from the limit hole 15, so that the restriction of the slider 251 is released, so that the slider 251 can slide, and the limit rod 24 on the hinge seat 252 makes the stretcher 2 rotate around the support rod 12, so that the stretcher 2 changes from a vertical state to an inclined state, so that the injured person can lie on the stretcher 2. After the injured person lies on the stretcher 2, the buckle 28 is used to fix the injured person on the stretcher 2; when the user drags the injured person, the roller 232 at the bottom of the rolling frame 23 can reduce the burden of the dragger in the process of dragging the injured person;

[0047] When the injured person is on a rough road with rocks or other rough surfaces, the user changes the stretcher 2 into a seat posture through the limiting assembly 27, and then uses the cooperation of the sliding assembly 25 and the limiting rod 24 to make the stretcher 2 in the seat posture tilted, so that the injured person can lie down when sitting on the stretcher 2, so that the center of gravity of the patient is tilted, thereby reducing the burden on the bearer, and the injured person is fixed by the buckle belt 28 when sitting on the stretcher 2;

[0048] When the injured person is in a jungle or other environment, the user unfolds the stretcher 2 through the limiting assembly 27 and removes the nut 13, so that the stretcher 2 can be removed from the support rod 12 through the limiting ring 211, so that the stretcher 2 is independent and the injured person can lie flat, so as to facilitate moving in the jungle;

[0049] When a person is injured in water, the user unfolds the stretcher 2 through the limiting assembly 27, removes the stretcher 2 from the support rod 12, and uses the airbag 261 to make the stretcher 2 float on the water surface, thereby reducing the burden on the user and transferring the person in the water environment.
