Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more easily understood, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited thereto.
[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 8
[0029] A rain shelter device for a medical transport trolley includes foldable supports 2 for installation at the four corners of the bed frame 11 of the transport trolley 1. A detachable waterproof rain cover 3 is provided over the area enclosed by the four foldable supports. The waterproof rain cover is surrounded by transparent curtains 31 made of transparent material. The foldable supports allow for easy opening and installation of the waterproof rain cover during outdoor rainy weather, while the supports are folded up for indoor use. The foldable supports do not obstruct patient transfer. The transparent curtains on the waterproof rain cover facilitate real-time monitoring of the patient's vital signs.
[0030] In this embodiment, the underside of the transfer flatcar is provided with rollers 12 and universal wheels 13 with braking structures to facilitate the movement of the transfer flatcar.
[0031] In this embodiment, the foldable bracket is fixedly connected to the bed frame of the transfer flatcar. Specifically, the fixed connection between the foldable bracket and the bed frame of the transfer flatcar can be achieved by welding or bolting.
[0032] In this embodiment, to achieve flip-folding, the foldable bracket includes a horizontally arranged fixed plate 21. One end of the fixed plate has a movable plate 22 hinged to it at its lower end. A support rod 23 for supporting the waterproof rain cover is mounted on the movable plate. The other end of the fixed plate is hinged to a connecting rod assembly 24. The upper end of the connecting rod assembly is slidably connected to the movable plate. A locking mechanism 25 for the connecting rod assembly is provided on the movable plate. Thus, when the upper end of the connecting rod assembly slides to the movable plate in a vertical state (the lowest position of the upper end of the connecting rod assembly sliding down), the locking mechanism locks the movable connecting rod, thereby keeping the movable plate in a vertical state. After the locking mechanism is unlocked, the movable plate can be flipped and folded around the hinge point with the fixed plate.
[0033] In this embodiment, both the fixed plate and the movable plate are grooved plates. The movable plate can fit snugly against the fixed plate when folded, so as to reduce the space occupied when folded.
[0034] In this embodiment, in order to achieve sliding cooperation between the movable component and the movable plate, a limiting groove 221 is vertically formed on the upper part of the movable plate, and the upper end of the connecting rod assembly is slidably connected to the movable plate via a first pin 241 that passes longitudinally through the limiting groove, thereby facilitating the folding of the movable plate.
[0035] In this embodiment, the linkage assembly includes two linkages, which are disposed on the front and rear sides of the movable plate and the fixed plate, and are connected as one unit by pins at both ends.
[0036] In this embodiment, the lower end of the connecting rod assembly is hinged to the fixed plate via a longitudinally arranged second pin 242. The movable plate is provided with a slot 222, so that the second pin is avoided when the movable plate is folded and attached to the fixed plate, allowing the movable plate and the fixed plate to fit more tightly.
[0037] In this embodiment, to lock the linkage assembly when the movable plate is unfolded and prevent the upper end of the linkage assembly from sliding upward, the locking mechanism includes a limiting plate 252 that is rotatably connected to the movable plate via a third pin 251 arranged longitudinally in the middle. A torsion spring 253 is sleeved on the third pin to keep the lower end of the limiting plate abutting against the side wall of the movable plate. Thus, when the first pin of the linkage assembly slides to the bottom of the limiting groove, the first pin is positioned below the lower end of the limiting plate, and the spring force of the torsion spring keeps the lower end of the limiting plate abutting against the side wall of the movable plate, preventing the first pin from moving upward. By pressing the upper end of the limiting plate towards the movable plate, the lower end of the limiting plate is separated from the movable plate, allowing the first pin to slide upward within the limiting groove and disengage from the limiting position, thus unlocking the mechanism.
[0038] In this embodiment, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the other end of the torsion spring abuts against the limiting plate. The upper part of the limiting plate protrudes outward from the movable plate to better press the limiting plate.
[0039] In this embodiment, the lower part of the support rod is fixed to or integral with the movable plate.
[0040] In another embodiment, to facilitate the disassembly of the support rod, the upper and lower parts of the side wall of the movable plate are respectively provided with gourd-shaped holes 223, which are smaller at the bottom and larger at the top. The upper and lower parts of the support rod are respectively fixed with T-shaped columns 231, so that when the support rod is connected to the movable plate, the T-shaped columns can be passed through the gourd holes and moved downwards a certain distance to realize the fastening and locking of the support rod and the movable plate, while facilitating the disassembly of the support rod and the movable plate.
[0041] In this embodiment, the waterproof rain cover includes a cover body 32 located at the top of the support rod. The cover body can be made of a non-transparent material. Transparent curtains are connected around the perimeter of the cover body, and adjacent transparent curtains are connected by Velcro or zippers 34, which helps to prevent rainwater from wetting the patient and makes it easy to open the rain cover. The transparent curtains can extend downwards below the bed frame for better rain protection.
[0042] In another embodiment, connecting sleeves 33 for inserting the upper end of the bracket can be provided at each of the four corners of the cover, which facilitates connection with the upper part of the support rod and also facilitates disassembly.
[0043] In this embodiment, the foldable bracket is approximately 80cm high and is made of stainless steel.
[0044] When used outdoors in rainy weather, first unfold the four foldable supports on the transport trolley and lock them in place using the locking mechanism. Then, put the waterproof rain cover over the support rods. When used indoors, remove the waterproof rain cover and fold the foldable supports. The foldable supports will not interfere with the patient's transfer to the bed.
[0045] If the terms "first" and "second" are used in the above description to define the components, those skilled in the art should know that the use of "first" and "second" is only for the convenience of distinguishing the components in the description. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning.
[0046] If this utility model discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then unless otherwise stated, a fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws) or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting or welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral forming process).
[0047] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model above include states or shapes that are similar to, close to, or approximate with them.
[0048] Any component provided by this utility model can be assembled from multiple individual components, or it can be a single component manufactured by a one-piece molding process.
[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
