[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] With the arrival of an aging society, more and more elderly people need assistive care equipment to help them with their lives. At the same time, some patients who are unable to care for themselves also require intelligent nursing assistance equipment. Currently, there are various types of assistive transfer machines for the elderly or patients on the market; however, most of these machines require operation by caregivers, which limits their functionality and significantly reduces their intelligence for some elderly or patients with independent consciousness. Based on these needs, this embodiment proposes a self-controllable transfer machine.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment discloses a self-controlled transfer machine, which is used for elderly people or patients with some self-awareness. Of course, it can also be used for patients or elderly people without self-awareness. In this case, nursing staff are needed to assist in operating the transfer machine 100.

[0024] In this embodiment, the transfer machine 100 includes: a base assembly 1, a lifting armrest assembly 2 and a direction adjustment assembly 3 connected to the base assembly 1, and a support assembly 4. The base assembly 1 is used to move the entire transfer machine 100. The lifting armrest assembly 2 is used by caregivers to assist in manual operation, or by the elderly or patients to hold onto. The support assembly 4 is used for patients or elderly users to sit on, and the support assembly 4 is also connected to the lifting armrest assembly 2. When transferring the user, the lifting armrest assembly 2 can control the raising or lowering of the support assembly 4.

[0025] Specifically, the transfer machine 100 includes at least a direction adjustment component 3, which includes a steering handle 32 and a control panel 33 disposed on the steering handle 32. The control panel 33 is provided with a power switch control button, a lifting control button 331, and / or a translation control button 332. Of course, the control panel 33 also provides operation buttons corresponding to other functions of the transfer machine, such as an emergency alarm button and a call button.

[0026] The patient transfer machine 100 of this embodiment integrates a control panel 33 onto the direction adjustment component 2 and incorporates various function operation buttons on the control panel 33. This allows users to control the transfer machine's movement path while also enabling autonomous control as needed. For example, when a user needs to transfer from the transfer machine 100 to a bed, they can first operate the translation control button 332 to move the transfer machine to the bedside, and then operate the lifting control button 331 to lower the support component 4 to bed height, thus achieving autonomous transfer. Compared to existing transfer machines, this machine not only allows operation with the assistance of caregivers but also enables autonomous operation based on the user's condition, greatly improving its convenience and intelligence.

[0027] For further details, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 The shifting machine 100 also includes a power supply and a controller 25. The power supply is electrically connected to the controller 25, and the control panel 33 is electrically connected to the controller 25. The wires connecting the controller 25 and the control panel 33 are embedded within the direction adjustment assembly 3. That is, the internal signal lines and power lines of the shifting machine 100 are all embedded within the various components of the device, avoiding exposed wiring and unnecessary safety hazards.

[0028] The shifting machine 100 further includes a base assembly 1, the direction adjustment assembly 3 is connected to the base assembly 1, the direction adjustment assembly 3 further includes a rotating shaft 31 connected to the steering handle 32, and a steering wheel 34 connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 31, and the wire passes through the rotating shaft 31.

[0029] Specifically, the rotating shaft 31 includes an outer tube and a shaft sleeved within the cavity of the outer tube. The top end of the shaft is connected to the steering handle 32, and the lower end is connected to the steering wheel 34. The lower end of the outer tube is fixedly connected to the base assembly 1. Adjusting the steering handle 32 adjusts the angle of the steering wheel 34, thereby changing the forward or backward direction of the transfer machine 100.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the base assembly 1 includes a base bracket 11 and an electric roller 13 connected to the base bracket 11. The electric roller 13 is controlled by the controller 25 to receive the control signal from the translation control button 332 to perform forward or backward movement.

[0031] In this embodiment, a foldable support arm 12 is provided on each of the two rear sides of the base bracket 11. The electric roller 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support arm 12. The support arm 12 can adjust the opening and closing angle relative to the base bracket 11. The two are hinged at the connection point to complete the folding and storage or adjust its opening angle.

[0032] In this embodiment, the electric roller 13 uses a hub motor or similar device, which enables electric rotation and a self-locking function. Of course, in other embodiments, the electric roller 13 can also use other drive units with electronically controlled drive and self-locking capabilities.

[0033] An arched arm 14 is provided above the front side of the base bracket 11, and the rotating shaft 31 is connected to the middle of the arched arm 14. The support arms 12 are stacked symmetrically with the position of the rotating shaft 31 as the center line, so that the electric roller 13 and the steering wheel 34 form an isosceles triangular support structure.

[0034] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The shifting machine 100 also includes a lifting handrail assembly 2 and a support assembly 4 controlled by the lifting handrail assembly 2 to move up and down.

[0035] The supporting component 4 includes: an openable left half supporting unit 41 and a right half supporting unit 42, and a locking unit 43 that locks the left half supporting unit 41 and the right half supporting unit 42 in the closed state.

[0036] The left half support unit 41 and the right half support unit 42 are symmetrically arranged. Taking the left half support unit 41 as an example, it includes a support cushion 411 and a backrest cushion 412 connected to the back of the support cushion 411. When the support cushions 411 and 42 are closed, they together form a through hole 40. A bedpan 5, which is easy to remove, is also provided below the through hole 40 for the user to urinate or defecate while sitting on the transfer machine 100.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the lifting handrail assembly 2 includes a U-shaped handrail 22 and an electric lifting unit 24. The top end of the electric lifting unit 24 is connected to the U-shaped handrail 22, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the base assembly 1. The support assembly 4 is connected to the U-shaped handrail 22. When the electric lifting unit 24 is controlled to perform a lifting action, it synchronously drives the U-shaped handrail 22 to rise and fall, so that the support assembly 4 changes its vertical height according to the U-shaped handrail 22, thereby facilitating the user's transfer.

[0038] Specifically, both ends of the U-shaped handrail 22 are hollow tube structures, and the base assembly 1 is also provided with a guide rod 21 inserted into the hollow tube structure. The guide rod 21 is used to guide and position the U-shaped handrail 22 during the lifting and lowering process to prevent it from deflecting.

[0039] In this embodiment, a connecting arm 23 is provided laterally on the U-shaped handrail 22, and the moving end of the electric lifting unit 24 is connected to the middle of the connecting arm 23.

[0040] The electric lifting unit 24 is a lead screw module, an electric push rod, or an electric cylinder. The electric lifting unit 24 is controlled by the controller 25 and receives the control signal from the lifting control button 331 to control the lifting and lowering actions of the lifting handrail assembly 2 and the support assembly 4.

[0041] The transfer machine 100 in this embodiment integrates the operation buttons on the control panel 33 of the direction adjustment component 3, allowing self-aware users to operate the care equipment independently, thus achieving autonomous control of the transfer machine and facilitating their lives. Furthermore, this transfer machine improves upon existing unpowered rollers by replacing them with hub motors, thereby enabling autonomous control of the care equipment's movement, further enhancing its intelligence and making it more convenient for users.
