DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a nursing cart for emergency department includes a base 10, a group of universal wheels 11 are installed at the bottom of the base 10, a group of support columns 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 10, and a placement plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the support columns 12; the top of the placement plate 13 is fixedly connected to a turntable 30, and the rotating end of the turntable 30 is fixedly connected to a placement box 31, and a protective mechanism 20 is provided on the top outer side of the placement box 31.

[0026] Preferably, the storage box 31 is a regular octagon. During use, its corners do not protrude due to changes in direction, which would cause the corners to protrude outside the storage box 31, occupying a large space and easily impacting medical personnel. A partition plate 32 is fixedly connected to the interior of the storage box 31. The partition plate 32 is in a "well" shape, thereby forming multiple independent spaces inside the storage box 31 to meet the needs of storing different medicines in a classified manner.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 、 2 3. The protection mechanism 20 includes guide rods 201 disposed on the front and rear sides of the placement plate 13. The guide rods 201 are composed of a pair of turning portions 2010 fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate 13 and a positioning portion 2011 fixedly connected between the two turning portions 2010. A protection box 202 is slidably connected to each of the two guide rods 201.

[0028] Preferably, the turning part 2010 is in an L shape, and the positioning part 2011 is in a "匚" shape. During use, the two protective boxes 202 slide outwards. When the protective box 202 slides from the positioning part 2011 to the turning part 2010, the protective box 202 will turn outwards by 90 degrees. Then, when sliding down along the turning part 2010 to the turning point of the turning part 2010, the protective box 202 will turn outwards by 90 degrees again to become a parallel state, and then slide the protective box 202 inwards to the inner end of the turning part 2010, so as to completely expose the placement box 31, which is convenient for medical staff to take medicines, and the placement box 31 is stored at the bottom of the placement plate 13 without occupying space; when taking medicines and combining the protective boxes 202, slide the two-sided protective boxes 202 back to the surface of the positioning part 2011 in the reverse process above until the inner surface of the protective box 202 abuts against the surface of the positioning part 2011, so as to achieve the positioning effect.

[0029] Preferably, the left and right sides of the inner end of the protective box 202 are respectively fixedly connected with limiting plates 203. The limiting plates 203 are triangular. When combining the protective boxes 202, adjust the position of the placement box 31, and then combine the protective boxes 202 conveniently as above, so that the limiting plates 203 abut against the outer surface of the placement box 31, so as to achieve the positioning of the placement box 31 and prevent the placement box 31 from rotating and wearing the rotating end of the turntable 30 when not in use.

[0030] Preferably, a buckle assembly 204 is arranged on the tops of the two protective boxes 202. When the two protective boxes 202 are combined together, the two protective boxes 202 are fixed into a whole through the buckle assembly 204, so as to enhance the protection ability of the protective box 202.

[0031] During the use of the trolley, medical staff usually push and control the direction of the trolley through the push handle. The height of the commonly used push handle cannot be adjusted according to the height of medical staff, so most medical staff are relatively strenuous when pushing the trolley. Therefore, a pushing mechanism 40 is proposed.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 、 4 As shown in the figure, the pushing mechanism 40 includes a pair of connecting columns 401 fixed on the right side of the support column 12. A set of positioning grooves 402 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the connecting column 401; a positionable movable column 403 is slidably connected inside the connecting column 401. A pushing handle 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable column 403. A connecting rod 405 is fixedly connected to the inside of the two movable columns 403 together.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 5The left and right sides of the bottom of the movable column 403 are respectively provided with fixed grooves 406, and the inside of the fixed groove 406 is slidably connected with an insert block 407, the inner side of the insert block 407 is fixedly connected to a support spring 408, and the inner side of the support spring 408 is fixedly connected to the fixed groove 406; the top of the movable column 403 is provided with a guide groove 409, and the inside of the guide groove 409 is slidably connected with a movable pull rope 410, and the left and right sides of the bottom of the pull rope 410 are respectively fixedly connected with a driving rope 411, and the other side of the driving rope 411 passes through the guide groove 409 and is fixedly connected to the insert block 407.

[0034] When in use, pull the pulling rope 410 upwards, and the pulling rope 410 drives the driving ropes 411 on both sides to be pulled inwards, so that the two plug blocks 407 move inwards and the support spring 408 is compressed. Then, the movable columns 403 on both sides are pushed upwards or downwards as needed. After adjustment, release the pulling rope 410, so that the support spring 408 rebounds and drives the two plug blocks 407 to move outwards and insert into a corresponding positioning slot 402, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the height of the movable column 403.

[0035] Preferably, a movable slot 412 is defined on the right side of the push handle 404. Handles 413 are pivotally connected to the front and rear sides of the push handle 404 via a movable shaft. The handles 413 pass through the movable slot 412 and are located at the bottom of the push handle 404. The bottom of the handles 413 is fixedly connected to the pull cord 410. During use, the user places their hand on the top right end of the push handle 404 and pulls upward with their fingers. The handles 413 flip upward, driving the pull cord 410 upward. This results in a more convenient adjustment method.

[0036] Preferably, a return spring 414 is fixedly connected to the top of the push handle 404, and the top of the return spring 414 is fixedly connected to the push handle 404. During use, the return spring 414 is used to support the handle 413. When the handle 413 is rotated, the return spring 414 is compressed. When the handle 413 is released, the rebound force of the return spring 414 causes the handle 413 to quickly return to its original position.

[0037] Preferably, the right end surface of the pushing handle 404 is provided with an anti-slip layer 415; the anti-slip layer 415 can increase the contact feeling between the medical staff's hand and the pushing handle 404, thereby making it more convenient for the medical staff to control the cart.

[0038] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the two protective boxes 202 slide outward, and when the protective box 202 slides from the positioning part 2011 to the turning part 2010, the protective box 202 will flip outward 90 degrees, and then slide downward along the turning part 2010 to the turning point of the turning part 2010, the protective box 202 will flip outward 90 degrees to become parallel, and then slide the protective box 202 inward to the inner end of the turning part 2010, so that the placement box 31 is completely exposed, making it convenient for medical staff to take medicines, and the placement box 31 is stored at the bottom of the placement plate 13 without taking up space; when the medicine is taken and the protective box 202 is merged, the protective boxes 202 on both sides are slid back to the surface of the positioning part 2011 in the opposite process until the inner surface of the protective box 202 abuts against the surface of the positioning part 2011, thereby achieving the positioning effect.

[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
