[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. 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.
[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-10 The present invention will be further described as follows:
[0026] A postoperative patient transfer device includes a housing 1, with multiple partitions 18 inside the housing 1. A door 17 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. Multiple casters 2 are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the housing 1. A fixed plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the casters 2. A movable plate 5 is slidably mounted inside the cavity of the fixed plate 3 via a movable device 4. The movable device 4 includes a rack 41 and gears 42. Racks 41 are fixedly mounted on both the left and right sides of the movable plate 5. Multiple gears 42 that mesh with the racks 41 are rotatably mounted on both the left and right sides of the cavity of the fixed plate 3. A movable motor 43 is fixedly mounted inside the housing 1. The output end of the movable motor 43 is fixedly connected to one of the gears 42.
[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the housing 1 can hold medical supplies and the carbon fiber tray 13 required for this device. The wheels 2 are used to move the housing 1 to transport the patient.
[0028] The movable plate 5 can be stored inside the fixed plate 3, reducing the footprint of the device. When needed, the movable plate 5 can be moved outside the fixed plate 3 via the movable device 4 to support the patient's body after surgery. The movable motor 43 is started, which drives a gear 42 fixedly connected to its output end to rotate. This gear 42, in cooperation with the rack 41 and other gears 42, moves the movable plate 5.
[0029] A U-shaped fork 7 is movably mounted on the top of the fixed plate 3 via a rotating telescopic device 6. The rotating telescopic device 6 includes a rotating motor 61 fixedly mounted inside the housing 1. The output end of the rotating motor 61 is fixedly connected to a telescopic cylinder 62 mounted on the top of the housing 1. The telescopic cylinder 62 is located in the middle of the rear side of the fixed plate 3, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 62 is fixedly connected to the middle of the U-shaped fork 7.
[0030] In this embodiment, the rotating telescopic device 6 is used to adjust the position of the postoperative patient. Preferably, the rotary motor 61 is used to rotate the patient via the U-shaped fork 7, and the telescopic cylinder 62 is used to adjust the height of the patient via the U-shaped fork 7.
[0031] Both ends of the U-shaped fork 7 are equipped with support rods. Two cooperating carbon fiber support plates 13 are detachably installed between the two support rods. The support rods include fixed rods 8 that are fixedly connected to the U-shaped fork 7. Telescopic rods 9 are slidably installed inside the fixed rods 8. On the side of the two carbon fiber support plates 13 that are close to each other, there are cooperating connecting buckles 14. On the side of the two carbon fiber support plates 13 that are far apart from each other, there are multiple hooks 15. Hook holes 16 that cooperate with the hooks 15 are opened on the support rods 8 and the telescopic rods 9.
[0032] In this embodiment, the telescopic rod 9 can be housed within the fixed rod 8, reducing the footprint of the device. The carbon fiber support plate 13 is used to provide support for the patient during bed transfer.
[0033] After the telescopic rod 9 is pulled out from the fixed rod 8, the support rod 8 and the telescopic rod 9 are locked by the locking device 10. The two carbon fiber support plates 13 are connected as one unit by the connecting buckle plate 14, and the carbon fiber support plates 13 are connected to the hook holes 16 on the support rod 8 and the telescopic rod 9 by the hooks 15.
[0034] A locking device 10 is provided between the support rod 8 and the telescopic rod 9. The locking device 10 includes a locking seat 101 fixedly installed on the top of the fixed rod 8 near the top of the telescopic rod 9. A locking handle 102 is rotatably installed on the locking seat 101. A locking hook 103 is rotatably installed on the locking handle 102. A locking hole 104 that cooperates with the locking hook 103 is opened on the top of the telescopic rod 9.
[0035] In this embodiment, after the telescopic rod 9 is pulled out from the fixed rod 8, the locking handle 102 and the locking hook 103 are rotated so that the free end of the locking hook 103 is inserted into the locking hole 104. Then the locking handle 102 is rotated. However, when the locking handle 102 is rotated to contact the fixed rod 8, the locking hook 103 and the locking hole 104 lock the support rod 8 and the telescopic rod 9 together.
[0036] The bottom of the telescopic rod 9, away from the support rod 8, is rotatably equipped with a guide wheel 11, and the guide wheel 11 is provided with a guide groove 12 that cooperates with the bed rail.
[0037] In this embodiment, the guide groove 12 on the guide wheel 11 is adapted to the hospital bed handrail. The bed handrail is used to provide support and guidance for the device when transferring patients to the bed, so that the patient lying on the carbon fiber support plate 13 can be moved smoothly to the top of the bed and then land smoothly on the bed.
[0038] In this embodiment, during use, the moving plate 5 is first moved to the outside of the fixed plate 3 using the moving device 4. Then, the telescopic rod 9 is pulled out from the fixed rod 8, and the support rod 8 and the telescopic rod 9 are locked using the locking device 10. After the telescopic rod 9 is pulled out from the fixed rod 8, the support rod 8 and the telescopic rod 9 are locked using the locking device 10. The two carbon fiber trays 13 are taken out from the box, and the two carbon fiber trays 13 are connected as one unit by the connecting buckle plate 14. The hooks 15 on the carbon fiber trays 13 are inserted into the hook holes 16 on the support rod 8 and the telescopic rod 9 to fix the carbon fiber trays 13.
[0039] Post-operatively, the patient lies on the carbon fiber support plate 13, with their weight supported by the moving plate 5 and the fixed plate 3. Medical staff use the moving wheels 2 to move the box 1 to transfer the patient to the foot of the bed in the ward. Depending on the space at the foot of the bed, the box 1 is moved to the rear or side rear of the foot of the bed. The telescopic cylinder 62 is activated to extend the U-shaped fork 7, the fixed rod 8, the telescopic rod 9, the carbon fiber support plate 13, and the patient, raising the guide wheel 11 to a height higher than the bed rails. Then, the rotary motor 61 rotates the U-shaped fork 7, causing the guide wheel 11 to rotate directly above the bed rails. The telescopic cylinder 62 retracts, causing the guide wheel 11 to descend, and the guide groove 12 engages with the bed rails. The output of the moving motor 43 is activated, and the moving plate 5 moves into the cavity of the fixed plate 3 with the help of the rack 41 and gear 42. The housing 1 is moved by the moving wheels 2, while the U-shaped fork 7 is rotated by the rotary motor 61, causing the fixed rod 8, telescopic rod 9, carbon fiber support plate 13, and patient to move above the bed under the guidance of the guide wheels 11 and the bed handrails. The telescopic cylinder 62 retracts, causing the U-shaped fork 7, fixed rod 8, telescopic rod 9, carbon fiber support plate 13, and patient to descend. The patient's body weight is supported by the bed, and then the carbon fiber support plate 13 is separated from the support rod 8 and telescopic rod 9 by the hook 15 and hook hole 16. The locking device 10 is opened, and the telescopic rod 9 is stored inside the fixed rod 8. The housing 1 is then moved away by the moving wheels 2. The patient's body is gently turned over to expose the connecting buckle plate 14. The two connecting buckles 14 are then separated, and the two carbon fiber support plates 13 are removed. The patient transfer is now complete.
