[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The portable nursing trolley according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a support assembly 100, a tray assembly 200, and a drive assembly 300. The tray assembly 200 includes a tray body 210, a lifting plate 220, and a cover 230. The tray body 210 is disposed on the support assembly 100 and has a receiving groove 211. The lifting plate 220 is slidably disposed in the receiving groove 211 to extend or retract from the receiving groove 211. The cover 230 is movably connected to the tray body 210 so that the cover 230 has an open state for opening the receiving groove 211 or a closed state for closing the receiving groove 211. When the slot 211 is closed, the drive assembly 300 is located on the tray body 210. The drive assembly 300 is used to drive the lifting plate 220 to rise and fall within the receiving slot 211. Thus, when special medicines are stored in the tray body 210, medical staff can move the cover 230 to close the receiving slot 211, thereby protecting the special medicines from light. When medical staff retrieve special medicines, they move the cover 230 to open the receiving slot 211, and the drive assembly 300 drives the lifting plate 220 to rise, so that the special medicines can extend out of the receiving slot 211 for easy retrieval.
[0037] For example, when special medicines are stored in the tray body 210, medical staff can move the cover 230 to close the receiving slot 211, thereby protecting the special medicines from light. When medical staff take out the special medicines, they can move the cover 230 to open the receiving slot 211, and the drive assembly 300 will drive the lifting plate 220 to rise so that the special medicines can be extended out of the receiving slot 211 for easy access.
[0038] It should be noted that the cover 230 is made of an opaque material, which will not be described in detail here.
[0039] It should be noted that the drive component 300 can be a stepper motor or a servo motor, etc., and there are no restrictions here.
[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, a guide structure is provided between the lifting plate 220 and the tray body 210, so that the lifting plate 220 can rise and fall smoothly and accurately within the tray body 210, avoiding deviation or jamming during the lifting process, thereby improving the reliability and ease of operation of the nursing trolley.
[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the guide structure includes a guide shaft 221 disposed on the lifting plate 220 and a guide hole 212 disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 211. The guide shaft 221 passes through the guide hole 212, so that the lifting plate 220 can rise and fall smoothly and accurately within the tray body 210, avoiding deviation or jamming during the lifting process, thereby improving the reliability and ease of operation of the nursing trolley.
[0042] For example, four guide shafts 221 are configured, and the four guide shafts 221 are located at the corresponding corners of the rectangular structure. Four guide holes 212 are configured accordingly. The guide shafts 221 pass through the corresponding guide holes 212 and abut against the side wall of the corresponding guide holes 212, so that the lifting plate 220 can be raised and lowered smoothly and accurately within the tray body 210, avoiding deviation or jamming during the lifting process, thereby improving the reliability and ease of operation of the nursing trolley.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, a snap-fit structure is provided between the cover 230 and the tray body 210. The snap-fit structure is used to restrict the cover 230 from switching from the closed state to the open state. The operation is simple, convenient and quick, and it is easy to open or close the receiving slot 211.
[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the snap-fit structure includes a snap hook 231 provided on the cover 230 and a snap groove 213 provided on the tray body 210. When the cover 230 is in the closed state, the hook part of the snap hook 231 is accommodated in the snap groove 213 and abuts against the side wall of the snap groove 213. The operation is simple, convenient and quick, and it is easy to open or close the receiving groove 211.
[0045] As another implementation, the positions of the hook 231 and the slot 213 can be interchanged, that is, the hook 231 is located on the tray body 210, while the slot 213 is located on the cover 230, without limitation.
[0046] It should be noted that the snap-fit structure can also be replaced with a magnetic structure, i.e., a magnetic structure is provided between the cover 230 and the tray body 210. The magnetic structure includes a first magnet on the cover 230 and a second magnet on the tray body 210. The first magnet and the second magnet have opposite magnetic properties. When the cover 230 is in the closed state, the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted, which can also prevent the cover 230 from accidentally opening the receiving slot 211. The second magnet can also be an electromagnet. An electromagnet can change its magnetism. When the cover 230 is in the closed state, the first magnet and the electromagnet have opposite magnetic properties. When it is necessary to open the receiving slot 211, the first magnet and the electromagnet have the same magnetic properties, and like poles repel each other. Medical personnel can easily open the receiving slot 211 without overcoming magnetic force.
[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cover 230 can extend or retract relative to the tray body 210. The lid assembly includes a flexible connector 120 and a plurality of first blades connected to the flexible connector 120. The plurality of first blades are arranged sequentially along the extension and retraction direction of the lid assembly. When the cover 230 is in the closed state, each first blade can be driven by an external force to slide relative to the tray body 210 and rotate relative to the tray body 210, so that the lid assembly retracts and switches to the open state. The flexible connector 120 bends at the part between adjacent first blades, which can reduce the space occupied by the cover 230, so as to facilitate medical staff to take out and put in special medicines.
[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple tray assemblies 200 are configured, and the multiple tray assemblies 200 are arranged side by side at intervals in the vertical direction, so that medicines can be placed in layers, avoiding direct sunlight on the medicines, and also making it more convenient and faster for nurses or doctors to pick up and put down medicines.
[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, the support assembly 100 includes four support rods 110 and connectors 120 connecting adjacent support rods 110. The four support rods 110 are arranged in a rectangular structure. The outer peripheral surface of the tray body 210 is connected to the corresponding connector 120 to form a rectangular frame, giving the nursing trolley good stability and load-bearing capacity. The connection between the outer peripheral surface of the tray body 210 and the connector 120 ensures that the tray assembly 200 will not shift or fall off during use, further improving the safety and reliability of the nursing trolley.
[0050] Understandably, the four support rods 110 of the bracket assembly 100 can be made of high-strength materials such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel to ensure the strength and durability of the overall structure. The connectors 120 can be fixed between the support rods 110 using bolts or welding to ensure a secure connection. The connection between the tray body 210 and the connectors 120 can be achieved through snap-fits, bolts, or other means for easy disassembly and maintenance.
[0051] In some embodiments of this invention, each support rod 110 is equipped with a caster wheel 130 at its lower end, enabling the nursing trolley to move more flexibly and conveniently, thus solving the problem of inconvenient movement of nursing trolleys in the prior art. Compared with the prior art, this design improves the operability and practicality of the nursing trolley, and is particularly suitable for medical environments that require frequent movement.
[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, the support rod 110 includes a rod body 111 and a handrail 112. The handrail 112 is connected to the upper end of the rod body 111, making the nursing trolley more ergonomically designed during use and improving the convenience and comfort of pushing it.
[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the rod 111 and the handle 112 are an integral structure, which ensures the overall strength and stability of the trolley, reduces assembly processes and costs, and improves service life and reliability.
[0054] The connection between the rod 111 and the armrest 112 can be achieved through a one-piece molding process. This process not only ensures the integrity of the structure but also reduces production errors and improves product precision and consistency. Furthermore, the rod 111 and the armrest 112 can be made of high-strength, lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy or engineering plastics, to meet the requirements of portability and durability of the nursing trolley.
[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0056] The embodiments described above with reference to the accompanying drawings have been described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
