Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to a nursing stretcher for intensive care units. Background Technology
[0002] Intensive care refers to the concentrated and intensive treatment and nursing care of critically ill patients using advanced medical technologies and modern monitoring and resuscitation equipment to maximize their survival and subsequent quality of life. During intensive care, various examinations are frequently required, and patients need to be transferred using stretchers.
[0003] While there are many styles of stretchers available, many designs focus solely on functionality, neglecting the ergonomic needs of stretcher bearers. Because stretcher bearers need to transport injured patients for extended periods, the muscles in their backs, arms, and shoulders become extremely active and tense during transport, making them highly susceptible to spinal injuries. Furthermore, the fixed handle positions on stretchers result in varying levels of comfort for individuals of different body types, impacting safety and work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model discloses a nursing stretcher for intensive care units, including a central support frame 1. A head support frame 2 and a tail support frame 3 are folded and connected to both ends of the central support frame 1. The central support frame 1 includes two opposing first side plates 4, which are fixedly connected by an I-beam frame 5. The tail support frame 3 includes two opposing second side plates 8, with the ends of the two second side plates 8 away from the central support frame 1 fixedly connected by a connecting plate 10. A soft pad 6 is provided between the two first side plates 4 and the two second side plates 8. Two horizontally adjustable brackets 11 are slidably connected to the surface of the connecting plate 10. The bottom of each bracket 11 is provided with a movable wheel 12, allowing the stretcher to be moved on a flat surface. A handle 13 is slidably connected up and down on each bracket 11. The structure of the head support frame 2 is the same as that of the tail support frame 3. The end of the second side plate 8 is rotatably connected to the end of the first side plate 4 via a damping pivot 9. Both ends of the first side plate 4 have stops 7 that can contact the bottom of the second side plate 8. The head support frame 2 and the tail support frame 3 are rotatably connected to both ends of the middle support frame 1, facilitating the folding of the stretcher for storage and transport. When the stretcher is unfolded, the stops 7 provide support and obstruction to the second side plate 8. The middle support frame 1 has two symmetrically distributed elastic straps 14, and the tail support frame 3 has one elastic strap 14 in the middle. These elastic straps 14 secure the patient when they are lying on the stretcher, preventing secondary injury.
[0028] The surface of the connecting plate 10 is provided with two symmetrically distributed first T-slots 22. The upper surface of the connecting plate 10 is provided with first elongated holes 15 corresponding to the first T-slots 22. The top side wall of the support 11 is provided with a first T-block 16 that is slidably connected to the first T-slots 22. The top of the first T-block 16 is provided with a first stud 17. The top of the first stud 17 extends above the first elongated hole 15 and is threaded with a nut. The length directions of the first T-slots 22 and the first elongated holes 15 are parallel to the length direction of the connecting plate 10. Through the cooperation between the first T-block 16 and the first T-slots 22, the support 11 can be moved along the length direction of the connecting plate 10, thereby adjusting the distance between the two handles 13. This allows the user to adjust the distance between the two handles 13 to a comfortable position according to their own needs, making it easier to lift the patient and thus improving safety. Furthermore, the first T-block 16 can be locked and fixed under the action of the first stud 17 and the nut.
[0029] The surface of the support 11 is provided with vertically distributed second T-shaped grooves 18, and the side wall of the support 11 is provided with vertically distributed second elongated holes 19 that communicate with the second T-shaped grooves 18. The end of the handle 13 is provided with a second T-shaped block 20 that slides vertically and vertically with the second T-shaped grooves 18. The side wall of the second T-shaped block 20 is provided with a second stud 21, and the end of the second stud 21 extends to the outside of the second elongated hole 19 and is threaded with a nut. Through the cooperation between the second T-shaped block 20 and the second T-shaped groove 18, the handle 13 can be moved up and down along the length of the support 11, thereby adjusting the height of the handle 13. This allows the user to adjust the height of the handle 13 according to their own height, enabling the user to use the stretcher in a more comfortable manner, effectively improving the user's work safety and work efficiency. Furthermore, the second T-shaped block 20 can be locked and fixed by the action of the second stud 21 and the nut.
