[0024] Reference Figures 1-5A critical care patient transport device includes a hospital bed 1, a first guardrail 2, and a second guardrail 4. The first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 are symmetrically distributed on one side of the hospital bed 1. Several first guardrails 2 and second guardrails 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the hospital bed 1. The structure of the second guardrail 4 is the same as that of the first guardrail 2. The first guardrail 2 includes a guard plate 201, a rotating frame 204, and a lower clamping shell 206. One end of the guard plate 201 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating frame 204. The rotating frame 204 is provided with a magnetic side frame 203 on the side near the guard plate 201. The other end of the guard plate 201 is connected to the rotating frame 204. The rotating frame 204 is rotatably connected to the magnetic side frame 203. The top of the lower clamping shell 206 is provided with an upper clamping plate 205. One end of the rotating frame 204 is located between the lower clamping shell 206 and the upper clamping plate 205. The shafts on both sides of one end of the rotating frame 204 are respectively rotatably connected to the lower clamping shell 206 and the upper clamping plate 205. A drive motor 207 is fixedly connected inside the lower clamping shell 206. The output end of the drive motor 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom shaft of one end of the rotating frame 204. The guard plate 201 is located on one side of the bed 1. The upper clamping plate 205 and one side of the lower clamping shell 206 are fixedly connected to the side of the bed 1.

[0025] In use, the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 cover the sides of the bed 1 to prevent critically ill patients from accidentally rolling off the bed 1 during an attack, thus avoiding secondary trauma. The first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 also protect the patient's sides, preventing collisions during transport that could worsen the patient's condition. When the patient's condition improves, they can get out of bed and move around according to medical guidance. The caregiver turns on the drive motor 207, and the output shaft of the drive motor 207 drives the rotating frame 204 to rotate. The rotating frame 204 drives the guardrail 201 to rotate 90°, opening the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 so that they are perpendicular to the bed 1. When the patient gets up, they can hold onto the guardrail 201 of the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 to support their body and sit on the edge of the bed. This allows the patient time to adapt to their body and avoids weakness caused by prolonged lying down, which could lead to falls. It also helps the patient get out of bed and increase their physical strength.

[0026] In this embodiment, a rotating groove 101 is provided on the side of the bed 1 near the upper clamp 205, and a sliding groove 2011 is provided on the side of the guard plate 201 away from the rotating frame 204. A first magnet 2012 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding groove 2011, and a magnetic pin 202 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 2011. A slot 2031 is provided on the top of the magnetic side frame 203, and the bottom end of the magnetic pin 202 is inserted into the slot 2031.

[0027] When in use, as the rotating frame 204 rotates, one end of the rotating frame 204 rotates into the rotating groove 101, so that the rotating frame 204 carrying the guardrail is perpendicular to the hospital bed 1. When the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 are not in use, the caregiver can pull the magnetic pin 202 on one side of the guardrail 201 through the gap between the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4. The magnetic pin 202 rises and its top magnetically attracts the first magnet 2012 at the top of the sliding groove 2011, thus positioning the magnetic pin 202.

[0028] In this embodiment, a number of support plates 3 are fixedly connected to one side of the hospital bed 1. The magnetic side frame 203 and the rotating frame 204 are both located on the top of the support plate 3. A second magnet 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 3 near the magnetic side frame 203. The back of the magnetic side frame 203 is magnetically connected to the second magnet 301. A storage slot 102 is provided on one side of the rotating slot 101.

[0029] In use, the magnetic latch 202 moves upward, releasing the fixed connection between the guard plate 201 and the magnetic side frame 203. Pushing the guard plate 201 causes the shafts at both ends of the guard plate 201 to rotate 180°, opening the hospital bed 1 and facilitating medical staff to conduct physical examinations on patients. The magnetic side frame 203 is magnetically connected to the second magnet 301 on the top of the receiving plate 3, which fixes the magnetic side frame 203 in place and prevents the displacement of the magnetic side frame 203 from affecting the protective performance of the first guardrail 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the storage slot 102 is opened through one side of the hospital bed 1. The inner walls of the storage slot 102 are respectively provided with sliding grooves 103. Several limiting rods 104 are fixedly connected inside the sliding grooves 103. The storage slot 102 is provided with a drawer 5. The outer walls of the drawer 5 are fixedly connected with sliders 501. The sliders 501 are located inside the sliding grooves 103 and are slidably connected to the limiting rods 104.

[0031] When in use, the patient's medication can be stored in drawer 5. If the patient falls ill during transport, drawer 5 can be pulled, and drawer 5 will cause slider 501 to slide on limit rod 104 and move out of storage slot 102, making it convenient for caregivers to take out the medication for the patient to take, suppress the illness, and avoid the patient's condition from worsening due to lack of medication.

[0032] In this embodiment, a number of buckle straps 105 are fixedly connected to the top of the bed 1. The buckle straps 105 are located between a number of first guardrails 2. A screw seat 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the bed 1 away from the drawer 5. A through hole 601 is provided on the top of the screw seat 6.

[0033] When in use, when a critically ill patient has multiple conditions (such as epilepsy, mania, etc.), in order to prevent the patient from harming himself unconsciously, the caregiver can use the buckle strap 105 to fix and bind the patient's body to the bed 1, while also preventing the patient from accidentally injuring the caregiver after an attack.

[0034] In this embodiment, the top of the screw seat 6 is provided with an infusion rod 603, the bottom end of the infusion rod 603 is inserted into the insertion hole 601, the outside of the column of the screw seat 6 is threaded with a threaded tube sleeve 602, the infusion rod 603 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw seat 6 through the threaded tube sleeve 602, and a movable frame 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the bed 1.

[0035] In use, the infusion rod 603 is detachable. The monitor can rotate the threaded sleeve 602 to rotate and move the threaded sleeve 602 downward, thereby releasing the fixed connection between the infusion rod 603 and the screw seat 6. The monitor can then lift the infusion rod to separate it from the screw seat 6, making it easier for the patient to get out of bed and walk around during the infusion. The bed 1 is moved and transported by the bottom movable frame 7, and the transport bed moves the patient between different medical areas for physical examinations.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: The first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 shield the sides of the bed 1, preventing critically ill patients from accidentally rolling off the bed 1 during an attack, thus avoiding secondary trauma. Furthermore, the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 protect the patient's sides, preventing collisions during transport that could worsen the patient's condition. When the patient's condition improves, they can get out of bed and move around according to medical guidance. The monitoring personnel then activate the drive motor 207. The output shaft of the drive motor 207 drives the rotating frame 204 to rotate, and the rotating frame 204 drives the guardrail 201 to rotate 90°, so that the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 open and are perpendicular to the bed 1. When the patient gets up from the bed, he / she can hold onto the guardrail 201 of the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4 to support his / her body and sit on the edge of the bed. This allows the patient some time to adapt to the body and avoids weakness caused by prolonged lying down, which could lead to falls due to maladjustment. It also helps the patient get out of bed and increase his / her strength. The first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4... When the guardrail 4 is not in use, the caregiver pulls the magnetic pin 202 on one side of the guardrail 201 through the gap between the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 4. The magnetic pin 202 rises, causing its top to magnetically attach to the first magnet 2012 inside the sliding groove 2011, thus positioning the magnetic pin 202. The magnetic pin 202 then moves upward, releasing the fixed connection between the guardrail 201 and the magnetic side frame 203, pushing the guardrail 201. The shafts at both ends of the guardrail 201 rotate 180° to open the bed 1, facilitating medical staff to perform physical examinations on the patient. The side frame 203 is magnetically connected to the second magnet 301 on the top of the receiving plate 3 to fix the magnetic side frame 203 in place, preventing the magnetic side frame 203 from shifting and affecting the protective function of the first guardrail 2. The hospital bed 1 is moved and transported by the bottom movable frame 7. The transport bed moves the patient between different medical areas for physical examination. The patient's medicine can be stored in the drawer 5. When the patient falls ill during the transport, the drawer 5 can be pulled to take out the medicine and take it to suppress the illness and avoid the patient's condition from worsening due to lack of medicine.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
