[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the hospital bed with a companion bed includes a bed frame 1, a main bed board 2, and a bed board adjustment mechanism 3. The bed frame 1 includes a bed board support 11, and the main bed board 2 is mounted on the bed board support 11. The bed board adjustment mechanism 3 includes an adjustment mechanism frame 31 and an adjustment support rod 32. The adjustment mechanism frame 31 is located below the bed board support 11 and connected to the bed frame 1. The adjustment support rod 32 is connected to the adjustment mechanism frame 31 and the main bed board 2. The bed also includes a companion bed 5 and a companion bed support 4. The companion bed support 4 is located between the bed board support 11 and the adjustment mechanism. Between the frames 31; the companion bed 5 is set on the companion bed support 4 and can be pulled out. The companion bed 5 includes a companion bed board 51, a notch cover plate 52 and companion bed legs 53. The companion bed board 51 has a bed board notch 511 for avoiding the adjustment support rod 32. The notch cover plate 52 is connected to the companion bed board 51 and can cover the bed board notch 511. When the companion bed 5 is pulled out for use, the companion bed support 4 supports one side of the companion bed board 51, and the companion bed legs 53 are adjusted to rest against the ground to support the other side of the companion bed board 51.

[0026] The main improvement of this invention compared to the prior art lies in appropriately lowering the position of the adjustment mechanism frame 31, so that there is a suitable gap between the main bed board 2 and the adjustment mechanism frame 31. This gap is used to install the companion bed support 4 and the companion bed 5, thereby raising the companion bed 5. The other structures of the bed frame 1 and the main bed board 2 can be the same as those in the prior art. The adjustment rod 32 is connected to the adjustment mechanism frame 31 and the main bed board 2, and therefore needs to pass through the companion bed board 51. To avoid interference with the adjustment rod 32, the companion bed board 51 has a notch 511 for avoiding the adjustment rod 32. In order for the companion bed 5 to be used normally, a notch cover plate 52 is required.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, when using the companion bed 5, it is pulled out from the companion bed frame 4, and then the companion bed legs 53 are adjusted to rest against the ground. The companion bed frame 4 supports one side of the companion bed board 51, and the companion bed legs 53 are adjusted to rest against the ground to support the other side of the companion bed board 51. In this way, the companion bed board 51 is stably supported, and the caregiver can lie on the companion bed board 51 to rest.

[0028] This utility model houses the companion bed 5 between the bed board support 11 and the adjustment mechanism frame 31. Compared with the prior art, which places the companion bed 5 directly on the ground, this greatly raises the companion bed board 51. In addition, the main bed board 2 also provides good protection for the companion bed 5, making it less susceptible to contamination and helping to ensure the health of the caregiver.

[0029] When using the companion bed of this utility model, the bed surface of the companion bed 5 is high. If the patient needs simple care at night, such as covering the patient with a blanket, the caregiver can do so while lying down or sitting up from the companion bed 5, without having to stand up, which is more convenient.

[0030] The preferred structure of the accompanying bed frame 4 is as follows: The accompanying bed frame 4 includes longitudinal beams 41, second guide rods 42, moving blocks 43, and pads 44; there are two longitudinal beams 41, which are respectively arranged in the front-to-back direction on both sides of the bed frame 1 and connected to the bed frame 1; there are two second guide rods 42, which are arranged in the left-to-right direction between the two longitudinal beams 41, and the two second guide rods 42 are respectively close to the front and rear ends of the bed frame 1; the moving blocks 43 are arranged one-to-one with the second guide rods 42 and are fitted onto the second guide rods 42; the side of the accompanying bed board 51 that is not connected to the accompanying bed legs 53 is connected to the moving blocks 43; the pads 44 are connected to the longitudinal beams 41 and are placed under the accompanying bed legs 53.

[0031] The longitudinal beam 41 connects to the bed frame 1 to secure the companion bed support 4. The second guide rod 42 and the moving block 43 restrict the movement of the companion bed 5, allowing it to move only along the width of the bed. When it moves out of the bed frame 1, it is in use; when it moves into the bed frame 1, it is in storage. The pad 44, placed under the companion bed legs 53, prevents the companion bed legs 53 from drooping. The longitudinal beam 41 restricts the movement range of the moving block 43, preventing the companion bed 5 from moving out of the companion bed support 4.

[0032] The side of the accompanying bed board 51 not connected to the accompanying bed legs 53 can be fixedly connected to the movable block 43, but this requires a relatively long accompanying bed leg 53. If the accompanying bed leg 53 is too long or too short, it will cause the accompanying bed 5 and the accompanying bed frame 4 to twist. Therefore, it is preferable that the side of the accompanying bed board 51 not connected to the accompanying bed leg 53 is hinged to the movable block 43. In this way, when the accompanying bed 5 is in use, the accompanying bed board 51 can swing slightly, allowing the accompanying bed leg 53 to be supported on the ground, thus preventing the accompanying bed 5 and the accompanying bed frame 4 from twisting. When storing the accompanying bed 5, rotate the accompanying bed leg 53 to a horizontal position; when using the accompanying bed 5, rotate the accompanying bed leg 53 to a vertical position.

[0033] The specific arrangement of the companion bed legs 53 can be as follows: The companion bed 5 includes bed leg baffles 54, the companion bed legs 53 are hinged to the companion bed board 51, the bed leg baffles 54 and companion bed legs 53 are arranged one-to-one and connected to the companion bed board 51; when the companion bed 5 is pulled out for use, the companion bed legs 53 tilt outwards and abut against the bed leg baffles 54. Alternatively, as follows... Figure 6 As shown, the companion bed 5 includes leg guards 54, and the companion bed legs 53 are hinged to the companion bed board 51. The leg guards 54 and companion bed legs 53 are correspondingly arranged and connected to the companion bed board 51. When the companion bed 5 is pulled out for use, the companion bed legs 53 and the leg guards 54 are fitted together and connected by fasteners 55. Both methods can ensure the stability of the companion bed legs 53.

[0034] The notch cover 52 is used to cover the notch 511 in the bed board to prevent bedding and the caregiver's body parts from falling through the notch 511. The notch cover 52 should be opened when the caregiver bed 5 is stored away.

[0035] The adjustment mechanism frame 31 can be designed with reference to existing technology. Alternatively, it can be as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the adjustment mechanism frame 31 includes a movable frame 313, a screw 312, and a first guide rod 311. The screw 312 is arranged in the front-to-back direction and installed on the bed frame 1. The first guide rod 311 is arranged in the same direction as the screw 312, and there are two of them. The two first guide rods 311 are located on the left and right sides of the screw 312 respectively and are both connected to the bed frame 1. The movable frame 313 is threadedly connected to the screw 312 and fitted onto the first guide rods 311. The upper and lower ends of the adjustment support rod 32 are hinged to the movable frame 313 and the main bed board 2 respectively.

[0036] The screw 312 and the movable frame 313 actually form a lead screw and nut mechanism. Rotating the screw 312 can drive the movable frame 313 to move back and forth. The back and forth movement of the movable frame 313 causes the adjusting support rod 32 to swing, which can drive the main bed board 2 to be partially raised. As in the prior art, the main bed board 2 can be divided into two or three sections. When divided into two sections, the section near the head of the bed can be rotated upward and tilted for the patient to lean against when sitting up, requiring a bed board adjusting mechanism 3 for adjustment. When divided into three sections, the section near the head of the bed can be rotated upward and tilted, also for the patient to lean against when sitting up; the other two sections can be arched to raise the patient's legs; requiring two bed board adjusting mechanisms 3 for adjustment. The two bed board adjusting mechanisms 3 can share the first guide rod 311.
