Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical and nursing equipment technology, and relates to a fall-prevention pediatric hospital bed. Background Technology
[0002] Pediatric beds are beds in hospitals used for the care and sleeping of children. Due to some unconscious actions of children when they are sick or because children are naturally active, there is a problem of children falling out of pediatric beds and getting injured, which can lead to medical accidents and doctor-patient disputes.
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, various improvements have been made, some of which have even been patented. For example, Chinese patent literature discloses a fall prevention device for a pediatric hospital bed [Patent No.: 202021445438.8; Application Publication No.: CN213431182U], which includes a bed frame; guardrails are provided at the front and rear ends of the bed frame, and guardrails are provided on both sides of the bed frame, with a notch between the guardrails and the guardrails; a detachable fall prevention net is installed at the notch, and a support cloth is placed on the bed frame at the position corresponding to the notch, with fixing parts at both ends of the support cloth, the fixing parts being fitted onto one end of the guardrail, and the fall prevention net being installed on the guardrails, support cloth, and fixing parts.
[0004] This type of pediatric bed fall prevention device uses a fall-prevention net to fill the gap between the bed frame and the guardrail, preventing children from falling through the gap. However, due to children's natural activity and tendency to walk around in bed, and given that the guardrail and fall-prevention net of this type of pediatric bed are relatively low, only reaching the child's legs, there is still a risk that the child may lean outwards, causing their center of gravity to be outside the bed, leading to a fall and injury. Therefore, a certain safety hazard remains. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a fall-prevention pediatric bed. The technical problem solved is how to prevent children from falling out of the pediatric bed and improve safety.
[0006] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A fall-prevention pediatric bed, comprising a rectangular frame, characterized in that it further comprises four spring roller blinds and four uprights fixed at the corners of the bed frame. The top of each upright is located above the bed frame. Each upright has two vertically arranged sliding grooves. Each sliding groove has several downwardly extending hook grooves spaced apart on one side. The top opening of each hook groove is connected to the corresponding sliding groove. The spring roller blinds include a pull rod, an elastic support cloth, and a mounting beam with a torsion spring system. The two ends of the support cloth are respectively connected to the pull rod and the torsion spring system. Under the action of the torsion spring system, the support cloth can be rolled up into the mounting beam. The four mounting beams are respectively fixed to the four edges of the bed frame. Each end of the pull rod is provided with a sliding wheel. The sliding wheel is slidably embedded in the sliding groove. The sliding wheel can enter the hook groove to tension the support cloth between two adjacent uprights.
[0007] In use, an external force is applied to overcome the torsion of the torsion spring system, pulling the lever and causing the sliding wheel to move upward along the sliding groove. This pulls out the support fabric. A suitable hanging groove is selected based on the child's height, and the sliding wheel slides into the groove, positioning the lever and hanging it up. Because the torsion spring system always tends to retract the support fabric into the mounting beam, the support fabric is tensioned between the two adjacent uprights. When the child stands up and walks on the bed, their hands cannot reach the lever, preventing it from moving. This ensures the support fabric remains taut between the two adjacent uprights. The torsion spring system has sufficient tension, and the support fabric is elastic. Since children's strength is relatively small, even if a child falls onto the support fabric, the fabric has enough force to support the child, preventing them from falling from the pediatric bed and hitting the ground, or greatly cushioning the speed of a fall, avoiding injury and improving safety. The torsion spring system is an existing structure; its specific details are not described here.
[0008] In the aforementioned fall-prevention pediatric bed, the upright has two mutually perpendicular mounting walls, and the sliding groove and the hooking groove are both located in the corresponding mounting walls. The mounting walls cooperate with the rectangular bed frame, allowing the upright and the bed frame to fit together better and improving overall integrity.
[0009] In the aforementioned fall-prevention pediatric bed, the outer wall of the upright located between the two mounting walls is rounded. This structure makes the outer wall of the upright smooth, preventing injury to children and improving safety.
[0010] In the aforementioned fall-prevention pediatric bed, the hanging groove is located outside the corresponding sliding groove. With this structure, when a child applies external force to the support fabric, the force on the pull rod is outward and downward, preventing the sliding wheel from detaching from the hanging groove and the pull rod from falling off. This prevents the child from falling from the pediatric bed and impacting the ground, avoiding injuries and improving safety.
[0011] In the aforementioned fall-prevention pediatric bed, the distance between two adjacent hook slots is between 20-30 cm. This structure allows the pediatric bed to be suitable for children of different heights, and ensures that the height of each lift of the support fabric is within a reasonable range.
[0012] In the aforementioned fall-prevention pediatric bed, the sliding groove extends upwards through the top of the upright, and an end cap is fixedly connected to the top of the upright, sealing the top of the sliding groove. This structure facilitates the processing of the sliding groove, the installation of the sliding wheels, and the assembly of the spring roller blind.
[0013] In the aforementioned fall-prevention pediatric bed, each of the four edges of the bed frame has a recessed, elongated mounting groove, and the mounting beam is embedded and fixed in the mounting groove. This structure ensures that the spring curtain is not exposed when the support fabric is retracted, thus not affecting children's getting in and out of bed.
[0014] In the aforementioned fall-prevention pediatric bed, the uprights extend downwards, with their bottom ends positioned below the bed frame. The uprights also serve as support legs, thus possessing a dual function.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the fall-prevention pediatric bed provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. This pediatric bed is equipped with a spring roller blind, which keeps the support fabric taut between two adjacent uprights. The support fabric bears the external force when a child falls, preventing the child from falling out of the pediatric bed and hitting the ground, or greatly cushioning the speed at which the child falls, avoiding injury and improving safety.
[0017] 2. The pediatric beds are equipped with hook slots of different heights, which allows the beds to care for children of different heights and improves their versatility. Attached Figure Description
