[0003] Traditional nursing beds typically only have adjustable back or leg height and do not have massage functions. Patients who are bedridden for long periods may develop bedsores on their backs and require regular massages. Furthermore, it is very difficult for medical staff to turn patients over. Therefore, there is a need for a smart nursing bed with monitoring functions. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model;
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 In this utility model: an intelligent elderly care bed with monitoring function includes a bed body 1. The head of the bed body 1 is equipped with a controller 2, a bio-radar sensor 3, a data processing unit 4, and an alarm 5. The controller 2 is bidirectionally connected to the bio-radar sensor 3, the data processing unit 4, and the alarm 5. An air box 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bed body 1. The bottom of the air box 6 is connected to two air inlet pipes 7. An air pump 8 is installed on each of the two air inlet pipes 7. The interior of the bed body 1 has evenly distributed cavities 9. A conduit 10 is connected between the inner wall of the cavity 9 and the air box 6. A solenoid valve 11 is installed on the conduit 10. A piston 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 9. A support rod 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston 12. The top of the support rod 13 passes through and extends to the top of the bed body 1. A support plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 13. The input end of the solenoid valve 11 is signal connected to the controller 2.
[0028] In this invention, the bio-radar sensor 3 can monitor the patient's breathing and heart rate on the bed 1. The data processing unit 4 will analyze the changes in breathing and heart rate in real time. When abnormal breathing and heart rate occur, the data processing unit 4 will send a signal to the controller 2, and the controller 2 will activate the alarm 5 to sound an alarm, thereby achieving the effect of automatically detecting the patient's heart rate and breathing.
[0029] When the patient is lying on the bed 1, the support plate 14 supports the patient. When it is necessary to raise the patient's back or legs, the air pump 8 is turned on first. The air pump 8 can be set in an area away from the bed 1 to reduce the impact of the air pump 8 on the patient when it is working. After the air pump 8 is turned on, it will input air into the air box 6 through the air inlet pipe 7. At this time, the solenoid valve 11 is turned on, and the air in the air box 6 will enter the cavity 9 through the conduit 10. Then the air will push the piston 12 to rise along the cavity 9. During the process, the support rod 13 will drive the support plate 14 to rise. After the support plate 14 rises, it can lift the patient. By controlling the rise of the support plate 14 located on the patient's back or legs, the patient's back and legs can be raised. After the air pump 8 and the solenoid valve 11 are turned off, the support plate 14 will automatically descend, completing the patient care.
[0030] Furthermore, by raising the support plates 14 on both sides of the patient, one side of the patient can be lifted, thereby assisting the patient in turning over and effectively reducing the difficulty for medical staff.
[0031] By intermittently controlling the rise and fall of the support plate 14 on the patient's back, massage can be performed on the patient's back, effectively preventing bedsores. The process requires no manual intervention, thus significantly improving the device's practicality.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 Among them, the top of the support plate 14 is fixedly connected to the buffer pad 15, which is a sponge layer.
[0033] In this invention, the buffer pad 15 can provide a cushioning effect, reduce patient discomfort, and improve the comfort of the device.
[0034] Please see Figure 4 Among them, a pressure sensor 16 is fixedly connected between the buffer pad 15 and the support plate 14, and the output end of the pressure sensor 16 is connected to the controller 2.
[0035] In this invention, the pressure sensor 16 detects the pressure exerted by the patient on the cushioning pad 15. The sum of the detected pressures is the patient's weight, thereby achieving the effect of monitoring the patient's weight. Furthermore, by observing the values measured by the pressure sensor 16 under the cushioning pad 15 in different areas, the patient's sleeping posture and position can be analyzed and determined, which is beneficial for monitoring the patient and improving the practicality of the device.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 The bed body 1 has a mounting groove 17 at its head. The mounting groove 17 is triangular in shape, and the bio-radar sensor 3 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 17.
[0037] In this invention, the mounting groove 17 is triangular in shape, which allows the bio-radar sensor 3 to face the patient, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement.
[0038] Please see Figure 2 The inner wall of the mounting slot 17 is equipped with an active sensor 18, and the output of the active sensor 18 is connected to the signal of the controller 2.
[0039] In this invention, the activity sensor 18 can monitor abnormal patient activities (such as convulsions or risk of falling), thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0040] Please see Figure 2 The inner wall of the mounting slot 17 is equipped with a humidity sensor 19 and a temperature sensor 20. The output terminals of the humidity sensor 19 and the temperature sensor 20 are both connected to the controller 2.
[0041] In this invention, the humidity sensor 19 and the temperature sensor 20 can detect the humidity and temperature of the area where the patient is located, thereby facilitating the user to adjust the environment in the area and improving the practicality of the device.
[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model; however, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
