[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0033] This application discloses a safety-protective pediatric hospital bed. (Refer to...) Figure 1-3 The safety-protective pediatric bed includes a headboard 1, a bed frame, and a base frame 3 located between the headboard 1 and the footboard 2. Both the headboard 1 and the footboard 2 include a railing section and a support section. The support section includes two support legs. The railing section is located above the support section and is welded to the support plate. The base frame 3 includes side rails on both sides and multiple crossbeams evenly spaced along the side rails in the middle. The side plates are welded to the crossbeams. The two ends of the side rails are welded to the headboard 1 and the footboard 2, respectively. A mattress 31 is placed on the side plates. The safety-protective pediatric bed also includes a lifting railing 4, a telescopic cover 5, and protective side pads 6. The lifting railing 4 is located on both sides of the base frame 3, forming a rectangular space with the headboard 1 and the footboard 2. The base plate is located at the bottom of this rectangular space. When the lifting railing 4 is in the high position, such as... Figure 2 As shown, when the lifting barrier 4 is in the low position, as Figure 3 As shown; the telescopic cover 5 is movably positioned on top of the lifting fence 4 between the retracted and open states. When in the retracted state, the telescopic cover 5 retracts to one end of the lifting fence 4, opening up the rectangular space to facilitate interaction between caregivers and children. When in the open state, the two ends of the telescopic cover 5 are located at the two ends of the lifting fence 4, blocking the top of the rectangular space and effectively preventing children from climbing over the lifting fence 4; the protective side pad 6 is located under the bed frame 3 and is used to catch children who fall, so that the protective side pad 6 can cushion the falling children and reduce the possibility of children falling and getting injured after climbing over the fence.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 4The lifting railing 4 includes a horizontal bar 41 and a lifting device. The horizontal bar 41 is a rectangular bar, and its length is arranged along the direction of the headboard 1 and the footboard 2. Two horizontal bars 41 are symmetrically arranged along the bisecting plane of the bed base frame 3. The two ends of the horizontal bar 41 are slidably connected to the headboard 1 and the footboard 2 respectively in the vertical direction. Specifically, T-shaped slide rails are welded and fixed to the sides of the headboard 1 and the footboard 2 closest to each other. The horizontal bar 41 has a groove adapted to the T-shaped slide rail, so that the horizontal bar 41 can slide stably in the vertical direction. The lifting device is located between the bed base frame 3 and the horizontal bar 41 and is used to control the raising and lowering of the horizontal bar 41.

[0035] The lifting device includes multiple telescopic columns 43 and a locking assembly 44. One end of each telescopic column 43 is fixedly connected to the bed base frame 3 by bolts, and the other end is fixedly connected to the crossbar 41 by bolts. The multiple telescopic columns 43 are divided into two groups, each corresponding to two crossbars 41. The multiple telescopic columns 43 in the same group are equally spaced along the length of the corresponding crossbar 41. In this embodiment, each group has thirteen telescopic columns 43, which are equally spaced with a spacing of 10cm between each column. The specific spacing and number can be adjusted according to actual needs. This allows for the raising and lowering of the crossbars 41 while effectively preventing children from passing through the gaps between the telescopic columns 43. The locking assembly 44 is used to lock or unlock the telescopic columns 43.

[0036] To facilitate operation by caregivers, the first and last ends of the two crossbars 41 are connected by connecting rods 42. The connecting rods 42 are welded and fixed to the crossbars 41. The two crossbars 41 and the two connecting rods 42 are alternately connected to form a rectangle. In this embodiment, the locking component 44 is manually driven, and the locking component 44 only locks the telescopic column 43 in one set. This allows caregivers to unlock the telescopic column 43 with one hand and adjust the height of the crossbar 41 with the other hand, improving the ease of operation. As an alternative embodiment, the driving component can also be electrically driven, for example, using an electric actuator to control the raising and lowering of the crossbars 41. Compared with the manual driving method, although it is less labor-intensive, the overall production cost is higher.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 5The telescopic column 43 includes a first column 431 and a second column 432. The first column 431 is cylindrical, and one end of the first column 431 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 41 by bolts. The second column 432 is cylindrical, and one end of the second column 432 is fixedly connected to the bed base frame 3 by bolts. The first column 431 and the second column 432 are coaxially arranged, and the diameter of the first column 431 is equal to the inner diameter of the second column 432. The first column 431 can slide along the inside of the second column 432. The locking assembly 44 includes a pin 441 and a return spring 442. The pin 441 is a cylindrical pin with a T-shaped cross-section, that is, the pin 441 includes a longer small-diameter section and a flat large-diameter section, wherein both the small-diameter section and the large-diameter section are cylindrical, and the large-diameter section is located at the end of the small-diameter section away from the telescopic post 43. The return spring 442 is a tension spring, which is sleeved on the pin 441, and one end of the return spring 442 is welded and fixed to the large-diameter section of the pin 441, and the other end is slidably connected to the second post 432. The second post 432 has a through hole for the pin 441 to pass through, and the diameter of the through hole is slightly larger than the diameter of the pin 441. The first post 431 has a plurality of slots 433 at equal intervals along its own length direction. The slots 433 are circular grooves with a diameter equal to that of the pin 441. The return spring 442 drives the pin 441 to slide close to the slot 433, so that the pin 441 is inserted into the slot 433. To facilitate the insertion of the pin 441 into the slot 433, the end of the pin 441 near the slot 433 is chamfered.

[0038] To improve the overall stability of the lifting fence 4 after the telescopic posts 43 are locked, multiple sets of locking components 44 are provided. In this embodiment, two sets of locking components 44 are provided, located at the first and last telescopic posts 43 of the same set, respectively. The first post 431 and the second post 432, which are equipped with positioning components, are respectively provided with the aforementioned slots 433 and through holes. As an alternative embodiment, three, four, or more sets of locking components 44 can also be provided at equal intervals. The more sets, the higher the stability.

[0039] To facilitate the simultaneous pulling of multiple pins 441, thereby enabling easy locking and unlocking of the telescopic column 43, a connecting plate 45 is provided at the end of each pin 441 away from the telescopic column 43. The connecting plate 45 is a rectangular strip and is fixedly connected to the large-diameter portion of the multiple pins 441 by bolts. By pulling the connecting plate 45, caregivers control the sliding of the multiple pins 441, unlocking the corresponding telescopic column 43. Adjusting the crossbar 41 to a suitable height and releasing the connecting plate 45 allows the telescopic column 43 to engage with the slot 433 under the action of the return spring 442, achieving automatic locking of the telescopic column 43. This method is simple and convenient to operate, and its production cost is lower than that of electric drives. The locking stability of the pins 441 and slot 433 is high, thus improving the stability of the pediatric bed.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The telescopic cover 5 includes a cover body 51 and multiple cover frames 52. Each cover frame 52 is a U-shaped metal rod. Multiple cover frames 52 are arranged along the length of a horizontal rod 41. The two ends of each cover frame 52 are slidably connected to the inner sidewalls of two horizontal rods 41. Specifically, each end of the cover frame 52 is equipped with a slider 53. A slide rail is fixed to the inner side of the horizontal rod 41 along its own length. Through the cooperation of the slider 53 and the slide rail, the cover frame 52 can slide stably along the length of the horizontal rod 41. The cover body 51 is made of breathable mesh material, similar to a mosquito net, making the telescopic cover 5 breathable, improving the comfort of the child on the hospital bed, and allowing caregivers to observe the child's condition inside the cover body 51 from the outside. The cover body 51 has multiple sections, each located between two different cover frames 52, and sewn onto the cover frames 52. In other embodiments, the slider 53 is equipped with a locking element, locking the slider 53 onto the slide rail, thus locking the telescopic cover 5 and preventing the child from opening the protective cover themselves.

[0041] Because the protective side pads 6 are always positioned on both sides, they significantly restrict the limited space of the ward and hinder interaction between caregivers and the children in the bed. Therefore, the protective side pads 6 need to have a retractable function. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 7 The bed base frame 3 is provided with a side pad bracket 61 that is connected to the bed foot frame 2 and the bed head frame 1. The side pad bracket 61 is in the shape of a fence. The side pads are welded and fixed to the bed head frame 1 and the bed foot frame 2. The side pad bracket 61 is provided with two movable brackets 62. The two movable brackets 62 are arranged on the same plane and are slidably connected to the side pad bracket 61 in a direction perpendicular to the crossbar 41. The two protective side pads 6 are respectively embedded in the two movable brackets 62.

[0042] The protective side pads 6 can be opened and closed by sliding the movable bracket 62, which improves the convenience and practicality of pediatric beds.

[0043] Since the protective side pad 6 needs to have a certain load-bearing capacity and impact resistance, in order to improve the support stability of the protective side pad 6, multiple telescopic support rods 63 are provided between the movable bracket 62 and the side pad support 61. One end of the telescopic support rod 63 is fixedly connected to the side pad support 61 by bolts, and the other end is fixedly connected to the movable bracket 62 by bolts, so that the opened movable bracket 62 can be supported by multiple telescopic rods. Even if it is subjected to a certain degree of impact, the protective side pad 6 can remain stable, thereby further improving the safety of the pediatric bed.

[0044] To facilitate the sliding of the movable bracket 62, a handle is provided on the outer side of the movable bracket 62. When caregivers need to unfold the protective side pad 6, they can pull the handle to slide the movable bracket 62 and unfold the protective side pad 6, thereby further improving the ease of operation of the pediatric bed of this application. Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
