Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical and healthcare products, specifically to a device with a pull cord and a front-press alarm button. Background Technology

[0002] In nursing homes and hospitals, restrooms are typically equipped with pull-cord alarm call devices. However, current alarm buttons on the market have the following drawbacks: 1. Alarm call devices with pull cords all call nurses or staff by pulling the switch button directly with the cord. During use, pulling the cord too hard can easily damage the internal switch button and prevent it from continuing to work, or it can cause the device to fall off. In this case, there are no protective measures on the device, which makes it easy to damage.

[0003] 2. Most emergency alarm buttons on the market are single-button triggers, which may lead to the risk of the alarm failing to trigger due to button malfunction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a device with a pull cord and a front-press alarm button.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a device with a pull cord and a front-press alarm button, comprising a first circuit board and a pull cord. The main body of the device is provided with a first circuit board, a second circuit board, and a rotating shaft. A second button is provided at the top of the rotating shaft on one side of the rotating shaft. A second pressure plate is provided at the top of the rotating shaft. A first pressure plate is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft, and the first pressure plate is located on one side of the second button. A first button is provided at the bottom of the first circuit board. The top of the pull cord is connected to the first pressure plate at the bottom of the rotating shaft. A male buckle and a female buckle are provided in the middle part of the pull cord. A pull ring is fixedly provided at the bottom of the pull cord.

[0006] Furthermore, an improvement of the present invention is that a plastic button is provided on one side of the main body of the device, and a button buffer pad is provided on the inner side of the plastic button, and the button buffer pad is fixed on the outer side of the first button.

[0007] Furthermore, an improvement of the present invention is that the male buckle, female buckle, and pull ring are all made of alloy plastic.

[0008] Furthermore, an improvement of the present invention is that the pull rope is made of nylon.

[0009] Furthermore, an improvement of the present invention is that the pull ring is provided with an anti-slip sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, an improvement of the present invention is that the button cushioning pad is made of silicone material.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a device with a pull cord and a front-press alarm button, which has the following advantages: This device, equipped with a pull cord and a front-press alarm button, uses a rotating shaft to fix the side-pull touch control. Utilizing the seesaw principle, it can effectively protect the internal switching components from the risk of failure caused by forceful pressing. At the same time, it can save internal structural space, allowing the device to be made thinner. This patent uses two independent parallel control buttons, which can avoid the risk of failure due to button malfunction and failure to trigger alarm. The two-button mode offers customers the option of either a single-button alarm (requiring assistance) or a two-button alarm (requiring emergency assistance). This patent avoids the need to replace the entire machine due to button failure in after-sales service. It uses male and female clips for connection, making maintenance convenient. Ordinary staff can replace it themselves simply by sending the clips to the site. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-5A device with a pull cord and a front-press alarm button includes a first circuit board 1 and a pull cord 2. The device body 12 has a first circuit board 1, a second circuit board 6 and a rotating shaft 8 inside. The top of the rotating shaft 8 is provided with a second button 7 located on one side of the rotating shaft 8. The top of the rotating shaft 8 is provided with a second pressure plate 14. The bottom of the rotating shaft 8 is provided with a first pressure plate 13, and the first pressure plate 13 is located on one side of the second button 7. The bottom of the first circuit board 1 is provided with a first button 11. The top of the pull cord 2 is connected to the first pressure plate 13 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 8. The middle part of the pull cord 2 is provided with a male buckle 3 and a female buckle 4. The bottom of the pull cord 2 is fixedly provided with a pull ring 5. In this structure, the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 6 operate on the same principle. The circuit board works by using the insulating material of the board base to isolate the conductive copper foil layer on the surface, allowing the current to flow along a pre-designed route through various components to perform functions such as doing work, amplification, attenuation, modulation, demodulation, and encoding. This will not be described in detail here. The pull cord 2 is connected by the male buckle 3 and the female buckle 4. When the pulling force on the pull cord 2 exceeds the normal operating force, the male buckle 3 and the female buckle 4 will automatically spring open, thereby protecting the device from being violently pulled and damaged, and also protecting the second button 7 from being pulled and causing it to malfunction.

[0015] The force transmission between the pull cord 2 and the second button 7 is achieved through the rotating shaft 8. Utilizing the seesaw principle, the pull cord 2 pulls the lower fulcrum upward, causing the upper fulcrum of the rotating shaft 8 to press down to touch the second button 7. The button buffer pad 9 is provided to buffer the rigid pressing of the button by the pulling force, thus protecting the first button 11.

[0016] In this structure, the first button 11 and the second button 7 are connected in parallel for control. When a single button fails in a special situation, the user can use the other button to trigger an emergency alarm in an emergency, thus ensuring the safety of use. This structure adopts two triggering methods: a front-press button and a side-mounted pull cord touch button. The first button 11 and the second button 7 work independently. Users can use one button to trigger the alarm or both buttons to trigger the alarm. The scenario can also be set to two modes: single button alarm (requiring assistance) and two button alarm (requiring emergency assistance). In this structure, a pair of male buckles 3 and female buckles 4 are added to the pull rope 2. They will not fall off during normal use. When the pull rope 2 is subjected to violent pulling force exceeding 70N, the male buckles 3 and female buckles 4 will quickly separate under force, thereby preventing the equipment from being damaged and triggering an alarm. When the staff comes to reset the alarm switch, they only need to connect the male buckles 3 and female buckles 4. The male buckles 3 and female buckles 4 are also called female buckles 4, which are a special kind of button consisting of two interlocking parts, one convex and one concave. They are usually used for connecting and fixing clothing, shoes, bags and other items. Regarding the button touch control, the first button 11 is cushioned by a button buffer pad 9 when pressed from the front, so that the first button 11 will not fail due to instantaneous force. The second button 7 is pulled from the side, taking advantage of the elasticity of the plastic part. It is fixed by rotation in the middle and uses the seesaw principle to extend the plastic parts on both sides. When the first pressure plate 13 below the rotating shaft 8 is pulled up by the pull rope 2, the second pressure plate 14 above the rotating shaft 8 will press down. The second pressure plate 14 and the second button 7 will contact each other in the deformable direction of the plastic, thereby reducing the possibility of the second button 7 being damaged and failing to trigger the alarm due to instantaneous force.

[0017] Furthermore, a plastic button 10 is provided on one side of the main body 12 of the device, and a button buffer pad 9 is provided on the inner side of the plastic button 10. The button buffer pad 9 is fixed on the outer side of the first button 11. The button buffer pad 9 can protect the first button 11.

[0018] Furthermore, the male buckle 3, female buckle 4, and pull ring 5 can all be made of alloy plastic, and the locking force between the male buckle 3 and female buckle 4 can be controlled by the deformation of the plastic itself.

[0019] Furthermore, the pull cord 2 can be made of nylon, the pull ring 5 can be provided with an anti-slip sleeve, and the button cushioning pad 9 can be made of silicone.
