The second bed board 13 is provided with a defecation port 131, and an openable door panel 133 is provided at the defecation port 131.
[0031] The bottom of the bed frame 12 is provided with a guide structure 14, which is arranged along the width direction of the bed frame 12. A slidable auxiliary bed 2 is provided on the guide structure 14. The auxiliary bed 2 includes a third bed board 21 and support legs 22. The third bed board 21 is slidably arranged on the guide structure 14, and the support legs 22 are arranged at the bottom of the third bed board 21.
[0032] Specifically, the first bed board 11 is fixed to the bed frame 12 to support the patient's main body parts. The second bed board 13 is located at one end of the first bed board 11, and one side of the second bed board 13 is hinged to the bed frame 12, allowing the second bed board 13 to be flipped up to adjust the angle between the second bed board 13 and the first bed board 11, facilitating patient support during use. A defecation opening 131 is provided on the first bed board 11. The shape and size of the defecation opening 131 are ergonomically designed to accommodate the defecation needs of different patients. An openable door panel 133 is provided at the defecation opening 131, connected to the first bed board 11 via hinges, allowing for easy opening and closing of the defecation opening 131. The surface of the door panel 133 is flush with the surface of the first bed board 11, ensuring that it does not affect the patient's comfort when closed.
[0033] The guide structure 14 is specifically a guide groove, in which a slide rail is installed. A slidable auxiliary bed 2 is mounted on the guide structure 14, comprising a third bed board 21 and support legs 22. A slider is installed at the bottom of the third bed board 21, and the slider matches the slide rail of the guide groove, allowing the third bed board 21 to slide smoothly along the slide rail. The support legs 22 are located at the bottom of the third bed board 21 to support the auxiliary bed 2 and ensure its stability during sliding. The support legs 22 can be implemented using telescopic rods, allowing the height of the support legs 22 to be adjustable to adapt to different ground flatness levels.
[0034] More specifically, a drive system is provided below the defecation port 131, the drive system including a control button and a second drive device 4; the second drive device 4 is fixed below the bed frame 12, and the door panel 133 is hinged to the bed frame 12 via a connecting rod 134;
[0035] The output end of the second drive device 4 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 134, and the control button is disposed on the surface of the bed frame 12 and is electrically connected to the second drive device 4.
[0036] The control buttons are located on the surface of the bed frame 12 for easy operation by patients or caregivers. The control buttons are connected to the second drive device 4 via electrical connection and are used to control the operation of the second drive device 4.
[0037] In practical use, when a patient needs to defecate, the caregiver or the patient can activate the second drive device 4 by pressing the control button. The output of the second drive device 4 drives the door panel 133 to rotate around the hinge point via the connecting rod 1347, thereby automatically opening or closing the door panel 133. After defecation, pressing the control button again closes the door panel 133, restoring the flatness of the bed surface. The door panel 133 of the defecation port 131 automatically opens and closes through the drive system, eliminating the need for manual operation and greatly improving convenience and comfort, especially suitable for patients with limited mobility.
[0038] The aforementioned intelligent hospital bed with an auxiliary bed allows for convenient defecation. When a patient needs to defecate, the caregiver or the patient can open the door panel 133 to expose the defecation port 131, enabling the patient to defecate on the main bed 1. Waste from defecation falls directly into a collection device (such as a bedpan or automatic defecation system) below through the defecation port 131. When a caregiver needs to use the auxiliary bed 2, it can slide out from one side of the bed frame 12, be adjusted to a suitable position, and the height of the support legs 22 can be adjusted to place the auxiliary bed 2 stably on the ground for the caregiver to rest or use. This hospital bed combines defecation assistance and caregiving functions, providing a one-stop solution for the needs of both patients and caregivers, reducing the workload of caregivers, and improving patient comfort and nursing efficiency. Furthermore, the auxiliary bed 2 is slidable via the guide structure 14, offering flexible use without taking up excessive space.
[0039] Furthermore, the bed frame 12 is provided with a locking mechanism 3, which includes a controller 33, a locking rod 31, and a first drive device 32. The controller 33 and the first drive device 32 are both fixed on the bed frame 12. The locking rod 31 is fixed to the output end of the first drive device 32. The first drive device 32 drives the locking rod 31 to enter or leave the third bed board 21. The third bed board 21 is provided with a locking hole 2111 that cooperates with the locking rod 31.
[0040] The controller 33 is equipped with a display screen 331, and the display screen 331 has a QR code.
[0041] The locking mechanism 3 is used to secure the auxiliary bed 2. The locking mechanism 3 includes a controller 33, a locking lever 31, and a first drive device 32. The controller 33 and the first drive device 32 are fixed to the bed frame 12, and the locking lever 31 is fixed to the output end of the first drive device 32. A locking hole 2111 is provided on the third bed board 21 to cooperate with the locking lever 31. Through the controller 33, the locking lever 31 can enter or leave the locking hole 2111, thereby securing or releasing the auxiliary bed 2. A QR code is provided on the display screen 331. When a caregiver needs to use the device, scanning the QR code will unlock the locking mechanism 3. After use, the caregiver can select the end-of-use state on the mobile device, and the locking mechanism 3 will return to the locked state, locking the auxiliary bed 2.
[0042] More preferably, the width direction of the third bed board 21 is the same as the width direction of the bed frame 12, and multiple locking holes 2111 are provided on the side wall of the third bed board 21, with the multiple locking holes 2111 arranged along the width direction of the third bed board 21. This design allows the auxiliary bed 2 to be fixed in multiple positions during sliding, increasing its flexibility and adaptability.
[0043] That is, the width of the secondary bed 2 can be adjusted as needed to meet the usage requirements of different occasions.
[0044] In a more specific embodiment, the third bed board 21 includes a sliding plate 211 and a folding plate 212. The sliding plate 211 is slidably mounted on the guide structure 14, and the folding plate 212 is disposed on one side of the sliding plate 211. The folding plate 212 is hinged to the sliding plate 211, and both the folding plate 212 and the sliding plate 211 are provided with support legs 22. In actual use, when the caregiver needs to use the secondary bed 2, the sliding plate 211 can be slid out from under the bed frame 12, and then the folding plate 212 can be unfolded to form a flat bed surface with the sliding plate 211. The support legs 22 are height-adjustable to ensure the stability of the secondary bed 2 under different ground conditions. When the secondary bed 2 is not in use, the folding plate 212 can be folded up, and the sliding plate 211 can slide back under the bed frame 12, saving space. The third bed board 21 consists of a sliding board 211 and a folding board 212. This design allows the auxiliary bed 2 to be completely stored under the bed frame 12 when not in use, which greatly saves ward space and is especially suitable for medical environments with limited space.
[0045] The design of the folding panel 212 further increases the flexibility of the auxiliary bed 2, allowing its size and shape to be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0046] Furthermore, the edge of the defecation opening 131 is covered with a rubber ring 132. Specifically, the rubber ring 132 can be made of a soft and elastic material, which can fit snugly against the patient's buttocks to prevent leakage of excrement, while reducing direct contact between the patient and the edge of the defecation opening 131, thus improving comfort. The rubber ring 132 can reduce discomfort for patients during defecation, especially suitable for patients who are bedridden for a long time, avoiding pressure or damage to the skin caused by the hard edge. The design of the rubber ring 132 reduces direct contact between the patient and the hard edge of the defecation opening 131, reducing the risk of cross-infection due to contact transmission, and further improving the hygiene and safety of the bed.
[0047] Furthermore, the bed frame 12 is equipped with a positioning receiver 15 for positioning. The positioning receiver 15 is used to locate the position of the bed during movement, for example, when a patient is being moved to an examination, hospital staff can use the positioning receiver 15 to monitor the bed's location in real time. Medical staff can monitor the bed's location at any time through the hospital's monitoring system or mobile devices, avoiding wasted time searching for the bed and improving nursing efficiency. In addition, the positioning receiver 15 can be integrated with the hospital's information system to achieve intelligent bed management, such as automatically recording bed usage and movement paths, providing data support for hospital management.
[0048] Furthermore, the bottom of the bed frame 12 is provided with casters 121, and the casters 121 are provided with locking devices.
[0049] The casters 121 allow the bed to be moved flexibly, making it convenient for medical staff to push the bed to wards, examination rooms, or other areas as needed. The locking device can fix the casters 121, ensuring the bed remains stable during use and preventing patient discomfort or safety accidents caused by accidental movement of the bed. The locking device is especially important when patients are getting in and out of bed, when nursing procedures are performed, or when examinations are conducted.
