The user can also install a removable toilet bowl under the toilet bowl hole 15, and the toilet plate 14 can also be closed; the counterweight box 6 moves the overall center of gravity of the vehicle forward to balance the overturning moment when the toilet plate 14 carries the user forward; in addition, a camera or tracking sensor can be installed on the bottom of the transfer robot to realize the path planning or fixed-point tracking of the transfer robot;
[0034] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 The rotation and descent function of this transfer robot includes a horizontal support plate 3, a fixed support 8-1, a rotary electric push rod 8, a first rotary support plate 10, a second fixed support 10-1, a rotary shaft 10-3, and a rotary support plate connecting rod seat 4. The first fixed support 8-1 is bolted to the horizontal support plate 3. The rotary electric push rod 8 is pinned to the first fixed support 8-1. The extended end of the rotary electric push rod 8 is pinned to the second fixed support 10-1. The second fixed support 10-1 is bolted to the first rotary support plate 10. The lower end of the first rotary support plate 10 is welded to the first rotary shaft 10-3, which is connected to the rotary support plate connecting rod seat 4 via a bearing. The first rotary support plate 10 and the rotary support plate connecting rod seat 4 are rotatably connected. The rotary support plate connecting rod seat 4 is bolted to the horizontal support plate 3. The rotary electric push rod 8 in its initial state (see attached diagram). Figure 5 (See Figure 5-1) When the extension rod of the rotary electric push rod 8 extends to its maximum stroke, the first rotary support plate 10 is in a vertical state. When the rotary electric push rod 8 retracts, it drives the first rotary support plate 10 to rotate downwards through the fixed support 10-1 and the fixed support 8-1, with a rotation angle of 55-90° (see attached figure). Figure 5 (See Figure 5-3); This function, on the one hand, reduces the height of the bedpan 14 to adapt to and reach different bed surface heights, and on the other hand, extends the extension distance of the bedpan 14, making it easier for the bedpan 14 to extend into the crotch of a patient in a sitting position.
[0035] Combined with appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 5 The telescopic and lifting function of this transfer robot includes a first rotating support plate 10, a fixed support three 10-2, a lifting electric push rod 9, a fixed support four 12-1, and a second rotating support plate 12. The fixed support three 10-2 is bolted to the first rotating support plate 10. The extended end of the lifting electric push rod 9 is connected to the fixed support four 12-1 via a pin. The fixed support four 12-1 is bolted to the second rotating support plate 12. The second rotating support plate 12 engages with the first rotating support plate 10 via a sliding groove 12-3. Under the action of the lifting electric push rod 9, the second rotating support plate 12 can be driven to perform telescopic movement. (See attached diagram) Figure 5 Figure 5-1 and Appendix Figure 5 (Comparison with Figure 5-2); The longitudinal axes of fixed support 4 12-1 and fixed support 3 10-2 are parallel to the axis of the first rotating support plate 10, and the positioning holes of the two are configured so that the extension axis of the rising electric push rod 9 is in a vertical state in the initial state. This can reduce the frictional resistance caused by the non-parallelism between the first rotating support plate 10 and the second rotating support plate 12 during the tilting process due to machining errors.
[0036] Combined with appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The horizontal support function of this transfer robot includes a toilet seat 13, a toilet 14, a fixed support six 14-1, a horizontal electric push rod 11, a fixed support five 12-2, a second rotating support plate 12, and a tilt sensor 14-2. The fixed support five 12-2 is bolted to the second rotating support plate 12. The horizontal electric push rod 11 is connected to the fixed support five 12-2 via a pin. The extended end of the horizontal electric push rod 11 is connected to the fixed support six 14-1 via a pin. The fixed support six 14-1 is welded to the toilet 14. The toilet 14 is connected to the second rotating shaft 13-1 welded to the top of the second rotating support plate 12 via the toilet seat 13 and a bearing. The toilet 14 and the second rotating support plate 12 are rotatably connected. The horizontal electric push rod 11 extends to zero in its initial position (see attached diagram). Figure 5As shown in Figure 5-1, the positions of fixed support 6 14-1 and fixed support 5 12-2 at this time can ensure that the tummy board 14 is in a horizontal position; the transfer robot is equipped with a weight sensor to identify whether there is a patient on the machine. When the machine is carrying a patient, during the process of the rotating electric push rod 8 pulling the first rotating support plate 10 to tilt, the horizontal electric push rod 11 adjusts the extension amount in real time according to the signal of the tilt angle sensor 14-2 to keep the tummy board 14 always in a horizontal position (see Appendix). Figure 5 Figure 5-1 and Appendix Figure 5 (Comparison with Figure 5-3); When the machine is not carrying a patient, the horizontal electric push rod 11 will adjust the extension amount according to the signal of the tilt sensor 14-2 to keep the stool 14 always in a horizontal position.
[0037] Combined with appendix Figure 5 From left to right, the diagrams show the robot in its initial state, the robot in its telescopic lifting function state, and the robot in its flat support function state.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
