[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail to make the technical solution of this utility model easier to understand and master.

[0030] In this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "middle", "upper", "lower", "top", "right side", "end", "front", "back", "center", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] Furthermore, unless otherwise specified in this specific embodiment, the connection or fixing method between components can be achieved by bolt fixing, pin fixing, or pin connection commonly used in the prior art. Therefore, it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This invention relates to a guardrail bracket, which has good practicality and stability. Figure 1-3 As shown, the guardrail bracket mainly includes: a transmission component 1, and a switch component 2 connected to the transmission component 1, the switch component 2 being used to lock and unlock the transmission component 1.

[0034] The transmission assembly 1 includes two opposing first mounting members 11 and two opposing second mounting members 13. A third connecting member 15 is located at the top of each first mounting member 11, and a fourth connecting member 16 is located at the bottom of each first mounting member 11. A first connecting member 12 is located between the two first mounting members 11, and a second connecting member 14 is located between the two second mounting members 13. The first mounting members 11, first connecting member 12, third connecting member 15, and fourth connecting member 16 serve as the main transmission arm, while the second mounting members 13 and second connecting member 14 serve as the auxiliary transmission arm. The main and auxiliary transmission arms are interconnected. Through the coordinated work of the main and auxiliary transmission arms, the transmission assembly 1 achieves smoother transmission, improving transmission efficiency and reliability.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, this application also includes a first fixing member 4 and a second fixing member 5. One end of the transmission assembly 1 is connected to the first fixing member 4 and the other end is connected to the second fixing member 5 to ensure the stable installation of the transmission assembly 1. The first fixing member 4 is used to connect to the guardrail 6, and the second fixing member 5 is used to connect to the nursing bed (not shown).

[0036] Specifically, the top end of the second mounting member 13 is connected to the first fixing member 4, the bottom end of the second mounting member 13 is connected to the second fixing member 5, the third connecting member 15 is connected to the first fixing member 4, and the fourth connecting member 16 is connected to the second fixing member 5 to form a stable connection structure.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the switch assembly 2 includes an elastic member 23, a pulling member 22, and an assembly 21 connected to the pulling member 22. The assembly 21 has at least one groove 24 that mates with the first connecting member 12. The pulling member 22 and the assembly 21 can be connected by screws or by the pulling member 22 and the assembly 21 being integrally formed, so that the pulling member 22 and the assembly 21 form a whole. Its structure is simple, reducing complex mechanical structures and ensuring its stability in use. It also reduces secondary transmission, that is, only pulling the pulling member 22 is needed to unlock and lock the transmission assembly 1.

[0038] The elastic element 23 applies an upward force to the assembly 21, while the transmission component 1 applies a downward force, thus achieving vertical force application and forming a fastening operation on the transmission component 1 to prevent loosening. This prevents the guardrail 6 from flipping outward when patients lean on it, thus protecting the patients.

[0039] When the pulling member 22 is pulled, the pulling member 22 moves the groove 24 of the assembly 21 away from the first connecting member 12, so that the first mounting member 11 can reciprocate. Also, since it is divided into a main drive arm and a secondary drive arm, when the pulling member 22 is pulled, the pulling member 22 moves the groove 24 of the assembly 21 away from the first connecting member 12, so that the second mounting member 13 will also reciprocate along with the first mounting member 11.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic element 23 is a torsion spring. The elastic element 23 always keeps the assembly 21 in an upward state to ensure that the transmission component 1 can be locked. At the same time, the elastic element 23 can also provide a stable restoring force to ensure that the assembly 21 can return to its initial position after operation, so that the transmission component 1 can be locked by the assembly 21 when it returns to its initial position.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, there are two grooves 24, respectively located at both ends of the assembly 21, and each groove 24 also has a recessed portion 241. By providing two grooves 24, a double hook locking mechanism is formed, which is more stable and safer during use. Moreover, the two grooves 24 are respectively located at both ends of the assembly 21, so that the force is evenly distributed when they abut against the first connecting member 12, which can better cooperate with the first connecting member 12. At the same time, the recessed portion 241 is provided. When the patient leans against the guardrail 6, the first connecting member 12 will enter the recessed portion 241. At this time, the medical staff cannot lower the guardrail 6 by pulling the pulling member 22, which avoids accidents when the patient leans against the guardrail 6 and the medical staff opens the guardrail 6, thus further protecting the patient and playing a secondary protection role.

[0042] Specifically, when a patient applies pressure from the inside to the outside of the bed, i.e. when the patient is leaning against the inside of the guardrail 6, if the medical staff directly pulls the switch to unlock the guardrail 6, the patient may fall to the ground accidentally as the guardrail 6 tilts down. Therefore, the guardrail bracket of this application requires the medical staff to move the first connecting piece 12 away from the recess 241, and at the same time, the medical staff need to pull the pulling piece 22 to make the guardrail 6 tilt down, so as to further protect the patient and play a secondary protection role.

[0043] The assembly 21 is provided with at least one placement part 25, and a pad 251 is provided on the placement part 25 to ensure that under normal circumstances (such as the influence of the weight of the guardrail 6, rather than the influence of external force applied to the guardrail 6 by patients), the first connector 12 will not enter the recess 241. The guardrail 6 needs to be subjected to a certain degree of force before the first connector 12 can enter the recess 241, so as to ensure the overall stability of the guardrail bracket under normal use. In this embodiment, there are two placement parts 25, which are adapted to the number of grooves 24.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the pulling member 22 includes a pulling part 221 and an abutting part 222 disposed along the direction of the assembly 21 and connected to the assembly 21. The pulling part 221 is connected to a first connecting part 223, and a second connecting part 224 is connected to the abutting part 222 and the first connecting part 223 respectively to ensure a reliable connection between the abutting part 222 and the first connecting part 223, so that pulling the pulling part 221 can drive the assembly 21 to swing.

[0045] In addition, such as Figure 3As shown, this application also includes a cylinder 3, which is connected to the transmission assembly 1. In this embodiment, the cylinder 3 is a damping cylinder. The second mounting member 13 is provided with a protrusion connected to the cylinder 3. The cylinder 3 plays a buffering role and can provide smooth and controllable movement for the first mounting member 11 and the second mounting member 13.

[0046] With the guardrail bracket of this application, users can raise and lower the guardrail 6, which solves the unnecessary trouble caused by the fixed guardrail 6 when medical staff change beds for patients, improves the practicality of use in medical care scenarios, and reduces the labor intensity of medical staff.

[0047] Explanation of the principle:

[0048] When the first connector 12 is not located in the recess 241, medical staff can lower the guardrail 6 simply by pulling the puller 22.

[0049] When the first connector 12 is located in the recess 241, medical staff need to apply external force to the guardrail 6 to make the first connector 12 disengage from the recess 241, and then pull the guardrail 6 to achieve the descent of the guardrail 6.

[0050] The main technical effects of this utility model are reflected in the following aspects:

[0051] It allows the guardrail to be raised and lowered, avoiding unnecessary trouble for medical staff when changing beds for patients, which is caused by fixed guardrails.

[0052] Of course, the above are just typical examples of this utility model. In addition, this utility model may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
