Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital bed handrail technology, and in particular to a multifunctional hospital bed handrail. Background Technology

[0002] Hospital beds are essential equipment used for patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment. They consist of a headboard, bed frame, and mattress, and feature adjustable height, angle, and position. In emergencies, they allow for rapid transfer of patients to safety or first aid, and can aid in rehabilitation training, such as adjusting posture, sitting up, and lying down, to promote the recovery of physical function. The most basic function of bed handrails is to provide body support for patients. When patients want to sit up, turn over, or move their body position, the handrails allow them to use their arm strength to pull on the handrails to adjust their posture. Holding the handrails firmly helps them better control the degree and speed of their ascent, reducing the stress on their lower back. For patients who are unconscious, have limited mobility, or are asleep, there is a risk of falling out of bed. Handrails can serve as a protective device to prevent accidental falls. However, in scenarios where handrails are not needed, they can actually be a hindrance.

[0003] The existing folding mechanism mainly consists of connecting rods and pivots. The connecting rods are movably connected by connecting parts such as pins. One end is connected to the armrest, and the other end is connected to a fixed part of the hospital bed. When the armrest needs to be folded, the armrest is pushed, and the connecting rod rotates accordingly, causing the armrest to fold to the side of the hospital bed. The angle between the connecting rods changes, allowing the armrest to fit tightly against the side of the hospital bed. However, this folding method is prone to causing the armrest to fold back due to excessive force during use, thus failing to achieve the protective effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a multifunctional bed handrail, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art where excessive force causes the handrail to fold back and fail to achieve the protective effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a multifunctional hospital bed handrail, comprising a handrail, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the handrail, a main bevel gear 1 fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod 1, a main bevel gear 2 meshing with the outer wall of the main bevel gear 1, a rotating rod 2 fixedly connected to the right end of the inner wall of the main bevel gear 2, multiple side bevel gears 1 fixedly connected to the right end and middle of the rotating rod 2, side bevel gears 2 meshing with the outer wall of the side bevel gears 1, and a ratchet fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating rod 2 near the middle. The ratchet has a stop block engaged on its outer wall. A movable frame is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the stop block. Multiple connecting posts are fixedly connected to the bottom of each movable frame. Pressing blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the multiple connecting posts. Multiple springs are fixedly connected to the top of each movable frame. Movable posts are slidably connected to the inner walls of the springs. The bottom of the outer walls of the movable posts is slidably connected to the inner side of the top of the movable frame. Multiple support rods are rotatably connected to the bottom of each handrail. A replacement mechanism is provided at the bottom of the handrail for disassembly and replacement.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The replacement mechanism includes a sliding plate, the top of which is rotatably connected to the bottom of a support rod. Multiple grooves are provided at the bottom of the front and rear ends of the outer wall of the sliding plate. A long strip fixing plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the sliding plate. A sliding groove is provided inside the long strip fixing plate. A fixing screw is slidably connected to the bottom of the long strip fixing plate. A nut is threaded onto the top outer wall of the fixing screw.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A T-shaped fixing plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the handrail near the middle, and the bottom of the T-shaped fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the movable column.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A protective shell is fixedly connected to the front end of the handrail, and a handle is fixedly connected to the left end of the handrail.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The outer wall of the stop is rotatably connected to a square fixing plate, and the front side of the square fixing plate is fixedly connected to the front side of the inner wall of the protective shell.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The bottom of the support rod is fixedly connected to a rotating rod three, and the outer wall of the rotating rod three is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding plate.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The top of each groove has multiple square holes, and the top of the groove has a circular hole near the center.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The top of the nut is slidably connected to a protective cover, and the bottom of the protective cover is slidably connected to the top of the sliding plate near the middle.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, pushing the handrail causes the first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn causes the first and second main bevel gears to rotate, and then causes the second rotating rod to rotate. At the same time, the ratchet follows the rotation of the second rotating rod. Under the action of the stop block, the ratchet can only rotate in one direction, causing the second rotating rod to move in one direction only. Pressing the pressing block causes the pressing block to move the moving frame and push the stop block upward, while simultaneously squeezing the spring upward. At this time, the stop block leaves the outer wall of the ratchet, realizing the effect of pushing down the handrail when it is not needed, and being able to withstand greater force.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, when the handrail is damaged and needs to be replaced, unscrew the nut and then remove the fixing screw. At this time, push the sliding plate backward. The sliding plate can slide in the groove of the long fixing plate until it slides out, thus achieving the effect of replacing the handrail by disassembly when it is damaged.

Multiple support rods 18 are rotatably connected to the bottom of each handrail 1, which improves the overall stability. A replacement mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the handrail 1, which is used for disassembly and replacement.

[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 The replacement mechanism 2 includes a sliding plate 201. The top of the sliding plate 201 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support rod 18. The sliding plate 201 can slide out. Multiple grooves 202 are provided at the bottom of the front and rear ends of the outer wall of the sliding plate 201. A long strip fixing plate 203 is slidably connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the sliding plate 201, so that the sliding plate 201 can slide on the long strip fixing plate 203. A sliding groove 204 is provided inside the long strip fixing plate 203. A fixing screw 205 is slidably connected to the bottom of the long strip fixing plate 203, which plays a fixing role.

The bottom of the protective cover 23 is slidably connected to the top of the sliding plate 201 near the middle, protecting the nut 206 and the fixing screw 205 inside, preventing the patient from touching them.

[0035] Working principle: When opening is required, push the lever 1 to the right. Lever 1 causes the rotating rod 3 to rotate, which in turn causes the main bevel gear 4 to rotate. The main bevel gear 4 then causes the main bevel gear 5 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rod 6 to rotate. Simultaneously, ratchet 7 rotates with the rotating rod 6. Due to the action of the stop block 8, ratchet 7 can only rotate in one direction, causing the rotating rod 6 to move in only one direction. At this time, the rotating rod 6 drives the side bevel gears 16 and 17 to move in one direction. Rotate until the handrail 1 is raised. When it needs to be lowered, press the pressing block 11. The pressing block 11 will drive the moving frame 9 to push the stop block 8 upward. At the same time, the moving frame 9 will press the spring 12 upward against the moving column 13. At this time, the stop block 8 will leave the outer wall of the ratchet 7, and then the handrail can be pushed in the opposite direction. When the handrail is lowered, release the pressing block 11. At this time, the spring 12 will return to its original state and push the stop block 8 back. At the same time, the pressing block 11 will be pushed back. This achieves the effect of pushing down the handrail when it is not needed and can withstand greater force.

[0036] When the handrail is damaged and needs to be replaced, unscrew the nut 206 and remove the fixing screw 205. Then push the sliding plate 201 backward. The sliding plate 201 can slide in the groove 204 of the long fixing plate 203 until it slides out. Then take out the new handrail. Similarly, push the sliding plate 201 back along the groove 204 on the long fixing plate 203, then push the fixing screw 205 back, and rotate the nut 206. This achieves the effect of replacing the handrail by disassembly when it is damaged.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
