Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital bed rail technology, specifically a gap fence for a common hospital bed rail. Background Technology

[0002] Hospital beds, also known as medical beds or nursing beds, are used by patients for rest and recuperation. They are primarily used in hospitals, township health centers, and community health centers. In hospitals, bed rails are crucial for patient safety. However, existing standard bed rails have some design and functional shortcomings, particularly the gaps that often exist at the head and foot of the rails. These gaps can cause patients to slip or fall out of bed when turning over, sitting up, or engaging in other activities, posing a significant risk, especially to patients with limited mobility or cognitive impairment. With the aging population and the increasing number of hospitalized patients, nursing safety issues are becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved bed rail design to reduce gaps, enhance rail safety, and prevent patients from lowering the rails unauthorizedly. This would not only improve patients' sense of security but also reduce nursing risks in hospitals and decrease medical accidents caused by falls.

[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a common bed rail gap fence to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gap fence for ordinary hospital bed guardrails to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A common hospital bed rail with gaps includes a bottom beam, a sleeve rod fixedly connected to the surface of the bottom beam, a telescopic rod slidably connected to the inner side wall of the sleeve rod, a top beam fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod, a first bidirectional threaded rod rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the bottom beam, a first threaded rod sleeve threaded to both ends of the first bidirectional threaded rod, a movable block fixedly connected to the surface of the first threaded rod sleeve, and a connecting rod rotatably connected to the side wall of the movable block, with the two connecting rods rotatably connected by a pin.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top beam, and sliding sleeves are slidably connected to both ends of the sliding rod, with the side wall of the sliding sleeve rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: a groove is provided on the surface of the bottom beam, and two sets of sliders are slidably connected to the inner sidewall of the groove, and the upper surfaces of the two sliders are respectively fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of the two movable blocks.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a first knob is rotatably connected to the side wall of the bottom beam, and one end of the first knob is fixedly connected to one end of the first bidirectional lead screw.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom beam, and a second bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the fixing plate, with a second lead screw sleeve threaded to both ends of the second bidirectional lead screw.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the second lead screw sleeve, and a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping plate.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a limiting groove is provided on the inner side wall of the fixing plate, a limiting block is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the limiting groove, and one end of the limiting block is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping plate.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: a second knob is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixing plate, and one end of the second knob is fixedly connected to one end of the second bidirectional lead screw.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. A first knob can be rotated, which drives the first double-acting lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the first double-acting lead screw drives the first lead screw sleeve to move. The movement of the first lead screw sleeve drives the movable block to move. Under the limitation of the slide groove and the slider, the movable block can only move along the slide groove direction. When the movable block moves, it drives one end of the connecting rod to rotate. The rotation of one end of the connecting rod lifts the top beam, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the top beam. Due to the existence of friction, the first double-acting lead screw is difficult to be pushed to rotate when it is not driven. In this case, the entire transmission mechanism will have a self-locking characteristic, ensuring that the top beam can stably maintain its current position when the drive stops, and will not move or reverse unintentionally, thus ensuring the stability of the lifting and lowering of the top beam. The lifting and lowering of the top beam can be adapted to different bed rail heights, with strong adaptability, simple and convenient operation, and easy for medical staff to use.

[0016] 2. The second double-acting screw can be rotated by turning the second knob. The rotation of the second double-acting screw drives the movement of the second screw sleeve. Under the limitation of the limiting block, the second screw sleeve can only move along the direction of the limiting groove. The movement of the second screw sleeve drives the movement of the clamping plate. The opposing movement of the clamping plates forms a clamping and fixing, thereby fixing the entire device to the bed frame. There is no need to drill holes or fix it with bolts. The fixing operation is simple and convenient. It can be installed on the existing hospital bed, making the bed rails safer and less likely to open. It can effectively prevent patients from falling out of the bed through gaps and prevent patients from getting out of bed and falling. It further protects the safety of patients and avoids the need for hospitals to replace the beds with longer rails or beds with rails that are not easy to open, thus reducing the hospital's operating costs.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Reference Figures 1-2This embodiment provides a common hospital bed railing with gaps, including a bottom beam 1, a sleeve rod 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the bottom beam 1, a telescopic rod 3 slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve rod 2, a top beam 4 fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod 3, a first bidirectional lead screw 13 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom beam 1, a first lead screw sleeve 12 threaded to both ends of the first bidirectional lead screw 13, a movable block 11 fixedly connected to the surface of the first lead screw sleeve 12, a connecting rod 7 rotatably connected to the side wall of the movable block 11, and the two connecting rods 7 rotatably connected to each other by a pin 8, a sliding rod 5 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top beam 4, a sliding sleeve 6 slidably connected to both ends of the sliding rod 5, and the side wall of the sliding sleeve 6 rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 7, a groove 9 opened on the surface of the bottom beam 1, two sets of sliders 10 slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 9, and the upper surfaces of the two sliders 10 respectively fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of the two movable blocks 11, a first knob 14 rotatably connected to the side wall of the bottom beam 1, and one end of the first knob 14 connected to the first bidirectional lead screw 12. One end of the lead screw 13 is fixedly connected; the first knob 14 can be rotated. The rotation of the first knob 14 drives the first bidirectional lead screw 13 to rotate. The rotation of the first bidirectional lead screw 13 drives the first lead screw sleeve 12 to move. The movement of the first lead screw sleeve 12 drives the movable block 11 to move. Under the limitation of the slide groove 9 and the slider 10, the movable block 11 can only move along the direction of the slide groove 9. When the movable block 11 moves, it drives one end of the connecting rod 7 to rotate. The rotation of one end of the connecting rod 7 lifts the top beam 4, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the top beam 4. Due to the existence of friction, the first bidirectional lead screw 13 is difficult to be pushed to rotate when it is not driven. In this case, the entire transmission mechanism will have a self-locking characteristic, ensuring that when the drive stops, the top beam 4 can stably maintain its current position and will not move or reverse unintentionally, ensuring the stability of the lifting and lowering of the top beam 4. The lifting and lowering of the top beam 4 can be adapted to different bed rail heights. It has strong adaptability, is simple and convenient to operate, and is easy for medical staff to use.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs in that a fixing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom beam 1. A second bidirectional lead screw 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 15. Both ends of the second bidirectional lead screw 16 are threadedly connected to a second lead screw sleeve 17. A clamping plate 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second lead screw sleeve 17. A rubber pad 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping plate 18. A limit groove 19 is formed on the inner wall of the fixing plate 15. A limit block 20 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit groove 19, and one end of the limit block 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping plate 18. A second knob 22 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 15. One end of the second knob 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the second bidirectional lead screw 16. The second bidirectional lead screw 16 can be driven by rotating the second knob 22. Rotating the lead screw 16 causes the second bidirectional lead screw 16 to rotate, which in turn moves the second lead screw sleeve 17. Under the limitation of the limiting block 20, the second lead screw sleeve 17 can only move along the direction of the limiting groove 19. The movement of the second lead screw sleeve 17 causes the clamping plate 18 to move. The opposing movement of the clamping plates 18 forms a clamping and fixing, thereby fixing the entire device to the bed frame without drilling or fixing with bolts. The fixing operation is simple and convenient. It can be installed on the existing hospital bed, making the bed rails safer and less likely to open. It can effectively prevent patients from falling out of the bed through gaps and prevent patients from getting out of bed and falling, further protecting patient safety. At the same time, it can avoid the hospital replacing the bed with a longer rail or a bed with a rail that is not easy to open, reducing the hospital's operating costs.
