Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of elderly care technology, and in particular relates to an auxiliary device for helping the elderly to stand up. Background Technology
[0002] As people age, the function of their nervous system gradually declines, including slower nerve conduction speed and decreased balance and coordination. This affects their ability to control their muscles, making it difficult for them to accurately coordinate the movements of different parts of their body when standing up, thus increasing the difficulty of standing. At the same time, the amount of muscle mass gradually decreases, muscle fibers become thinner, and muscle strength also weakens, especially in the lower limb muscles. This makes it difficult for older adults to provide enough strength to support their body weight when standing up, resulting in difficulty in standing up.
[0003] When medical staff help the elderly stand up, they need to expend a lot of physical strength. Although it is now possible to assist the elderly with standing up by using a standing aid device, the elderly still need to hold the device and support their body with their arms. However, some elderly people have weak arms and sometimes have difficulty supporting their body or holding the device firmly, which can easily lead to falls. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes an assistive device for helping elderly people stand up, which can more accurately solve the problems described above.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

A sliding rod is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder, and the sliding rod is fixedly connected to another fixed seat. The fixed cylinder has a threaded through hole, and a fastening bolt is threaded into the threaded through hole.
[0010] In one example, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the two fixed plates, a support rod is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate, a crossbar is rotatably connected to one end of the support rod, bolts and nuts are installed at the connection between the crossbar and the support rod, a protective plate is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbar, and a sponge pad is fixedly connected to one side of the protective plate.
[0011] In one example, a first reinforcing rod is fixedly connected between the fixed base and the counterweight base, a second reinforcing rod is fixedly connected between the support rod and the fixed plate, and a third reinforcing rod is fixedly connected between the support rod and the mounting plate.
[0012] The assistive device for helping the elderly to stand up, as proposed in this utility model, can bring the following beneficial effects:
[0013] Firstly, by setting up a support rod that passes under the elderly person's armpit, the curved area of the support rod supports the elderly person's armpit and presses against the sponge roller, allowing the elderly person's hands to grip within the gripping area. The lifting device raises the support rod to help the elderly person stand up. Caregivers only need to support the elderly person from one side to prevent them from slipping off the support rod. By raising the support rod, the elderly person is assisted in standing up, making it easier for caregivers to work.
[0014] Secondly, by setting up connecting parts, the sliding rod can slide inside the fixed cylinder to adjust the distance between the two fixed seats. After adjustment, the fastening bolt can be rotated, and the fastening bolt abuts against the sliding rod to fix the sliding rod, so that the device can be adapted to patients of different body types and increase the range of applications of the device.

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, this utility model provides an auxiliary device for helping elderly people stand up, including two counterweight bases 1. The counterweight bases 1 enhance the stability of the device and prevent it from tipping over. The lower surfaces of the two counterweight bases 1 are equipped with rollers 2, which facilitate moving the device to the side of the bed. The upper surfaces of the two counterweight bases 1 are fixedly connected to fixed seats 3. Two connecting rods 4 are provided between the two fixed seats 3. The counterweight bases 1, fixed seats 3, support rods 6 and lifting devices 5 are integrated into one unit through the connecting rods 4. The two fixed seats 3 are equipped with lifting devices 5. A support rod 6 is installed on one side of the lifting device 5. The support rod 6 is used to support the elderly. The caregiver helps the elderly sit on the side of the bed and moves the device to face the elderly. The support rod 6 passes under the elderly's armpits. The lifting device 5 raises the support rod 6 to help the elderly stand up. The caregiver only needs to support the elderly from one side to prevent the elderly from slipping off the support rod 6. The raising of the support rod 6 assists the elderly to stand up, making it easier for the caregiver.
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, both support rods 6 are provided with arc-shaped areas 61. The arc-shaped areas 61 are concave downwards and are opposite to the elderly person's armpit. The arc-shaped areas 61 are fixedly connected to the sponge rollers 62. The arc-shaped areas 61 of the support rods 6 support the elderly person's armpit and press on the sponge rollers 62 to increase comfort. Each support rod 6 is provided with a grip area 63 on one side of the arc-shaped areas 61. The elderly person's hand can be gripped in the grip area 63 to promote the elderly person's balance. The concave structure of the arc-shaped areas 61 reduces the risk of the elderly person slipping off the support rods 6.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, each of the two fixed seats 3 has a sliding groove on one side. The lifting device 5 includes a slider 51, which is located in the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the fixed seat 3. A fixed plate 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 51, and a support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 52. The slider 51 slides up and down, making it easy to adjust the initial height of the support rod 6 to accommodate elderly people of different heights. The upper surface of the fixed seat 3 is fixedly connected to a housing 53, and a servo motor 54 is installed inside the housing 53. The servo motor 54 is installed inside the housing 53, making the device look cleaner. The main shaft is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 55, which passes through the housing 53 and the fixed seat 3, and the housing 53 and the fixed seat 3 are rotatably connected. The threaded rod 55 passes through the slider 51 and is threadedly connected to the slider 51. The threaded area of the threaded rod 55 is located in the groove, and the unthreaded area is opposite to the housing 53 and the fixed seat 3. When the support rod 6 passes under the armpit of the elderly person sitting on the hospital bed, and the elderly person's hand is held in the gripping area 63, the servo motor 54 is started. The threaded rod 55 drives the slider 51 to rise, which in turn causes the support rod 6 to rise, helping the elderly person to stand up and saving the physical strength of medical staff.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting rod 4 includes a fixed cylinder 41, which is fixedly connected to one of the fixed seats 3. A sliding rod 42 is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder 41, and the sliding rod 42 is fixedly connected to the other fixed seat 3. The sliding rod 42 can slide inside the fixed cylinder 41 to adjust the distance between the two fixed seats 3, so that the device can be adapted to patients of different body types and increase the range of applications of the device. The fixed cylinder 41 has a threaded through hole, and a fastening bolt is threaded inside the threaded through hole. After adjustment, the fastening bolt can be rotated, and the fastening bolt abuts against the sliding rod 42 to fix the sliding rod 42.
[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two fixed plates 52, and a support rod 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 7. The height of the support rod 8 is lower than that of the support rod 6. When the support rod 6 passes under the elderly person's armpit, the support rod 8 also passes under the elderly person's armpit. One end of the support rod 8 is rotatably connected to a crossbar 9. Bolts and nuts are installed at the connection between the crossbar 9 and the support rod 8. One end of the crossbar 9 is fixedly connected to a protective plate 10. When the support rod 8 passes under the elderly person's armpit, the protective plate 10 is horizontal with the support rod 8. After the support rod 6 and the protective plate 10 pass under the elderly person's armpit, the protective plate 10 is rotated, and the protective plate 10 becomes perpendicular to the support rod 8. The protective plate 10 is located behind the elderly person. The bolts and nuts are rotated to fix the protective plate 10. The protective plate 10 protects the elderly person from falling backward due to instability, preventing the elderly person from being injured. A sponge pad is fixedly connected to one side of the protective plate 10. The sponge pad is opposite to the elderly person's back to prevent the elderly person from hitting the protective plate 10 when standing, thus preventing bumps and injuries.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a first reinforcing rod 11 is fixedly connected between the fixed base 3 and the counterweight base 1. The first reinforcing rod 11 supports the fixed base 3, making the fixed base 3 more stable. A second reinforcing rod 12 is fixedly connected between the support rod 6 and the fixed plate 52. The second reinforcing rod 12 supports the support rod 6, which bears the weight of the elderly and prevents the support rod 6 from tilting. A third reinforcing rod 13 is fixedly connected between the support rod 8 and the mounting plate 7, and the third reinforcing rod 13 supports the support rod 8.
[0029] Working principle: The caregiver helps the elderly person sit on one side of the hospital bed, pulls the sliding rod 42 to adjust the distance between the two fixed seats 3. After adjustment, the fastening bolt can be rotated, and the fastening bolt abuts against the sliding rod 42 to fix the sliding rod 42. The device is moved to face the elderly person, and the support rod 6 passes under the elderly person's armpit. The arc-shaped area 61 of the support rod 6 supports the elderly person's armpit and presses on the sponge roller 62. After the elderly person's hand is held in the gripping area 63, the protective plate 10 is rotated. The protective plate 10 is perpendicular to the support rod 8 and is located behind the elderly person. The bolt and nut are rotated to fix the protective plate 10. At this time, the servo motor 54 starts and drives the slider 51 to rise through the threaded rod 55, thereby raising the support rod 6 and helping the elderly person to rise.
