Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a device that facilitates the movement of paraplegic patients between bed and wheelchair. Background Technology

[0002] Patients with lower limb paraplegia face significant difficulties in daily life, requiring assistance from medical staff throughout. This is particularly true when moving from the bed to a wheelchair, which necessitates lifting the patient and transferring them to the wheelchair – a physically demanding task for both the patient and the staff. Even a slight misstep can cause the patient to fall from the bed or wheelchair, resulting in secondary injury. The primary reason for this is the current lack of a smooth transition device between the bed and wheelchair. Therefore, there is a need in this field for a device that provides a seamless connection between the two modes of transportation, ensuring a smooth transition for the patient. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a device that offers seamless transitions between bed and wheelchair, facilitating movement for paraplegic patients between these modes of transport.

[0004] This invention provides a device for facilitating the movement of paraplegic patients between a bed and a wheelchair, comprising a connecting clamp, a base, a turntable, and a moving platform. One side of the base is connected to the edge of the bed via the connecting clamp. The upper surface of the base has a circular groove, and the shape of the turntable matches the shape of the groove, with the turntable rotatably connected within it. The upper surface of the turntable has a top groove, and the shape of the moving platform matches the shape of the top groove, with the moving platform slidably connected within it. The upper surface of the base also has a moving groove, which communicates with the turntable, and the width of the moving groove is smaller than the diameter of the turntable. Side sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving groove, and inner sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top groove. The side sliding grooves and inner sliding grooves have the same shape and are positioned correspondingly. Side sliding blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving platform. When the side sliding grooves and inner sliding grooves rotate to align, the moving platform is slidably connected within the side sliding grooves and inner sliding grooves via the side sliding blocks.

[0005] Furthermore, the lower side of the rotating groove has a bottom groove, in which a gear shaft is provided. One end of the gear shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the bottom groove, and the other end is fixedly connected to the turntable.

[0006] Furthermore, a small electric rod and a rack are also provided in the bottom groove. One end of the small electric rod is fixedly connected to the bottom groove, and the other end is driven to connect to the rack. The rack meshes with the gear shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, a top plate is connected to the upper side of the base platform, and the top plate has an arc surface that fits into the turntable.

[0008] Furthermore, a side electric rod is provided in the middle of the top plate, and the extension and retraction direction of the side electric rod is parallel to the extension direction of the moving groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the top plate is flush with the upper surfaces of the turntable and the moving platform.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting clip is a U-shaped connecting clip.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting clamp is fixedly connected to the bed edge by fastening bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting clips have at least two.

[0013] Furthermore, a handrail is attached to the upper surface of the mobile platform.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: This invention utilizes a connecting clip, a base platform, a turntable, and a moving platform to form a device that facilitates the movement of paraplegic patients between a bed and a wheelchair. The device is connected to the bed edge via the connecting clip. In use, the turntable is first rotated to face the bed, and the patient is moved onto the moving platform. Then, the turntable is rotated to face the wheelchair, and the moving platform slides out to the side of the wheelchair, placing the patient in the wheelchair seat. The moving platform is then retracted. This invention enables the patient to move between the bed and wheelchair smoothly and efficiently, with strong connectivity, greatly reducing the risk of falls. Attached Figure Description

Side sliding grooves 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable groove 4, and inner sliding grooves 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top groove 14. The side sliding grooves 12 and inner sliding grooves 15 have the same shape and are positioned correspondingly. Side sliders 17 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable platform 16. When the side sliding grooves 12 and inner sliding grooves 15 rotate to align, the movable platform 16 is slidably connected to the side sliding grooves 12 and inner sliding grooves 15 via the side sliders 17, allowing the movable platform 16 to slide out of the top groove 14. It should be noted that, to prevent the movable platform 16 from sliding outwards excessively and falling off, the side sliding grooves 12 are stop grooves with stop portions at their ends. This utility model utilizes a connecting clip 1, a base 3, a turntable 13, and a moving platform 16 to form a device that facilitates the movement of paraplegic patients between a bed and a wheelchair. The device is connected to the bed edge via the connecting clip 1. In use, the turntable 13 is first rotated in the rotating groove 5 to face the bed, and the patient is moved onto the moving platform 16. Then, the turntable 13 is rotated to face the wheelchair. Figure 5 As shown, the side sliding groove 12 and the inner sliding groove 15 are aligned, and then the moving platform 16 slides out towards the wheelchair side along the side sliding groove 12 and the inner sliding groove 15 via the side slider 17, placing the patient on the wheelchair seat, and then the moving platform 16 is withdrawn.
