Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the manufacturing field of medical auxiliary equipment, and more specifically, to an intelligent anti-fall bed. Background Art

[0002] In China, the elderly population aged 65 and above has formed a large group. They not only have to deal with problems that naturally increase with age, such as sarcopenia and bone loss, but also diabetic patients may suffer from osteoporosis. The combination of these factors significantly increases the risk of falls for the elderly. Among the reports of injuries, disabilities and deaths among the elderly, falling out of bed is an important factor leading to accidental risks for the elderly.

[0040] In the present invention, the guardrail 2 is designed in a foldable manner, which not only provides stable protection when in use, but can also be easily folded up when not needed without taking up additional space; this allows the user to be unrestricted when performing activities in bed without the risk of falling out of bed, thereby improving the user's comfort and enabling the user to have the maximum degree of self-care ability in a safe manner.

[0041] In the present invention, the torso detection component 5 also includes a mounting device, which includes a mounting plate 53; the chest sensor device 51 and the hip sensor device 52 are respectively mounted on the corresponding mounting plate 53, and the mounting plate 53 is adjustably arranged on the bed board 11; through the arrangement of the mounting plate 53, the chest sensor device 51 and the hip sensor device 52 can be adjusted in position according to the actual body data and actual usage of the user or patient, so that the chest sensor device 51 and the hip sensor device 52 can more accurately correspond to the chest, back and buttocks of the human body, so that the sensor device can more accurately capture the posture changes of the human body and improve the accuracy of detection; at the same time, it also enables the device to be targetedly adjusted according to the different body shapes of different people, which not only makes the detection result more accurate to improve the safety performance of the device, but also makes the applicability of the device higher.

[0042] In the present invention, the left and right sides of the bed board 11 are provided with matching parts 13 arranged along the length direction of the bed board 11, and matching grooves 14 arranged along the length direction of the bed board 11 are arranged in the matching parts 13; the mounting plate 53 is located above the bed board 11, and assembly parts 531 are fixed at both ends thereof; the assembly part 531 is detachably matched with the matching groove 14, and is movably located in the matching groove 14; the matching groove 14 is vertically arranged, and its opening is arranged at the top of the matching part 13; the assembly part 531 includes a first assembly area 532 and a second assembly area 533, the first assembly area 532 is connected to the mounting plate 53 and the second assembly area 533, and a bend is arranged between the first assembly area 532 and the second assembly area 533, The second assembly area 533 is set vertically; through the cooperation between the assembly part 531 and the matching groove 14, the mounting plate 53 can be quickly installed to the required position, and at the same time, the mounting plate 53, the chest sensor device 51 and the hip sensor device 52 installed on the mounting plate 53 can be stably adjusted along the length direction of the bed board 11; so that the device can not only be suitable for patients and users of different body shapes, but also can specially set the positions of the chest sensor device 51 and the hip sensor device 52 according to the body shapes of different individuals, so as to improve the accuracy of detection; both the matching groove 14 and the second assembly area 533 are set vertically, which not only makes the cooperation between the two more firm and stable, but also makes the adjustment of the mounting plate 53 more convenient and labor-saving.

[0043] In the present invention, a limiting block 534 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the second assembly area 533; limiting grooves 15 matching the limiting block 534 are evenly distributed at the bottom end of the matching groove 14; the opening of the limiting groove 15 is located at the bottom end surface of the matching groove 14; by setting the limiting block 534 and the limiting groove 15, the mounting plate 53 can be positioned by the cooperation of the two after being adjusted to a suitable position, so that during the detection process, the mounting plate 53 and the chest sensor device 51 and the hip sensor device 52 on the mounting plate 53 will no longer move along the length direction of the bed board 11, so that the detection result of the detection module 4 is more accurate.

[0050] In the present invention, the chest sensing device 51 and the hip sensing device 52 both include a force sensor 58 connected to the main control module, and the force sensor 58 is detachably mounted on the adjustment slider 54, and the real-time posture of the human body is detected by the setting of the force sensor 58; the upper surface of the adjustment slider 54 is fixedly provided with an assembly seat 57, and the assembly seat 57 is provided with an assembly space 571, and the top of the assembly seat 57 is provided with an assembly opening 572, and the force sensor 58 is detachably mounted in the assembly space 571 through the assembly opening 572; the assembly The seat 57, the assembly space 571 and the force sensor 58 are all cylindrical; a limiting notch 573 penetrating the inner and outer surfaces of the assembly seat 57 is provided on the side wall of the assembly seat 57, and the assembly space 571 is communicated with the external space through the limiting notch 573; the limiting notch 573 includes a first limiting area 574 and a second limiting area 575, the first limiting area 574 is vertically arranged corresponding to the axial direction of the assembly seat 57, and the second limiting area 575 is horizontally arranged corresponding to the circumferential direction of the assembly seat 57; the top end of the first limiting area 574 is located on the side wall of the assembly seat 57 The top of the first limiting area 574 is connected to the bottom of the second limiting area 575; a positioning block 581 is provided on the outside of the side wall of the force sensor 58, and a limiting entrance 576 is provided on the top of the side wall of the assembly seat 57. The positioning block 581 enters the first limiting area 574 through the limiting entrance 576, and then the positioning block 581 passes through the first limiting area 574 to reach the second limiting area 575 through the falling and rotation of the force sensor 58; the size of the positioning block 581 corresponds to the width of the first limiting area 574 and the second limiting area 575 The force sensor 58 is detachably assembled in the assembly space 571 through the assembly opening 572. This design makes the installation and disassembly of the sensor device simple and quick, and is convenient for people to assemble a sufficient number of force sensors 58 to the assembly seat 57 of the corresponding adjustment slider 54 according to the user's body shape and sleeping habits.
