Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a privacy bed curtain device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main factors affecting patient privacy protection. The first is at the level of medical workers, which involves strengthening training for medical workers on patient privacy protection knowledge, ethics, and laws and regulations to improve their level of knowledge about patient privacy protection. The second is social environmental factors. Hospitals are the main places for patient privacy protection. Studies have found that the lack of screens and curtains can affect nurses' behavior in protecting patient privacy. Therefore, how to better protect patient privacy in medical settings is an important issue.

[0003] Currently, common hospital bed curtains typically consist of a track, pulleys, and the curtain itself. Specifically, the track is fixed to the ceiling and contains multiple sliders. The curtain connects to the pulleys; pulling the curtain moves the sliders, allowing the curtain to surround the bed. The disadvantage of this type of curtain is that it is fixed, requires manual operation, cannot move with the bed, and requires professional installation.

[0004] To address this, we designed a privacy bed curtain device suitable for hospital wards. This device can effectively surround the hospital bed to protect patient privacy, and it can also move with the bed for greater convenience, effectively achieving privacy protection in various scenarios (intra-hospital transfer, outpatient examination).

A second extension frame 405 is fixedly provided on the surface of the second support shaft 404, and a second bed curtain 406 is slidably provided on the lower surface of the second extension frame 405.

[0031] It is worth noting that the bed curtain device is easy to operate. Patients can control the opening and closing of the bed curtain component 4 themselves without having to stand up, which reduces the burden on patients. In addition, the device is convenient to carry and store, keeping a small size and not taking up much space. It is especially suitable for mobile beds, ensuring the privacy of patients on mobile beds.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the sizes of the first extension rack 402 and the second extension rack 405 are matched with the sizes of the first storage box 2 and the second storage box 3, respectively, and the surfaces of the first storage box 2 and the second storage box 3 are provided with strip-shaped storage openings.

[0033] The first extension frame 402 and the second extension frame 405 are both provided with sliding grooves. A bed curtain motor 413 is fixed to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A lead screw 414 is fixed to the output shaft of the bed curtain motor 413. A threaded block 416 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 414. Several slidable movable rings 415 are sleeved on the surface of the lead screw 414. The bottom ends of the movable rings 415 and the threaded blocks 416 are fixedly connected to the top of the first bed curtain 403 and the second bed curtain 406, respectively. It should be noted that one top end of the first bed curtain 403 and the second bed curtain 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first extension frame 402 and the second extension frame 405, and the other top end of the first bed curtain 403 and the second bed curtain 406 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the threaded block 416.

[0034] By providing a sliding groove and a curtain motor 413 inside the first extension frame 402 and the second extension frame 405, the curtain motor 413 can drive the lead screw 414 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded block 416 to move on the surface of the lead screw 414, thereby driving one end of the threaded block 416 to move outward from the storage box, and at the same time driving the curtain to move outward, while driving several movable rings 415 to slide on the surface of the lead screw 414, so that the first curtain 403 or the second curtain 406 can be unfolded or stored, achieving the effect of automatically unfolding and retracting the curtain.

[0035] The bracket 1 is a hollow shell structure, and two linkage worm gears 407 are rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the bracket 1. Worm wheels 408 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the first support shaft 401 and the second support shaft 404, and the position of the worm wheel 408 corresponds to the linkage worm gear 407. The linkage worm gear 407 meshes with the worm wheel 408.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, a control box 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the bracket 1, a drive motor 6 is fixedly installed inside the control box 5, a drive gear 7 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 6, a drive rod 409 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the bracket 1, the bottom end of the drive rod 409 extends into the interior of the control box 5 and is fixedly connected to a driven gear 8, and the drive gear 7 meshes with the driven gear 8.

[0037] It should be noted that the control box 5 is equipped with a battery and a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the battery and the drive motor 6 respectively. The controller is also equipped with a wireless remote control, which allows the patient to operate the bed curtain assembly 4 to open and close from the bed.

[0038] It should be noted that a partition plate 410 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bracket 1, the bottom end of the linkage worm gear 407 is rotatably connected to the surface of the partition plate 410, and the bottom end of the linkage worm gear 407 extends to the bottom of the partition plate 410. A first transmission gear 411 is fixed at the bottom end of the linkage worm gear 407, and a second transmission gear 412 is fixed at the top end of the drive rod 409. The first transmission gear 411 meshes with both second transmission gears 412.

[0039] It is worth noting that by setting the first storage box 2 and the second storage box 3 on the surface of the bracket 1, the bed curtain assembly 4 can be stored away when not in use. When in use, the drive motor 6 can be used to drive the first extension frame 402 and the second extension frame 405 to unfold to a horizontal angle at the same time. Then, the bed curtain motor 413 can be used to pull the bed curtain out of the storage box. The bracket 1 can also be installed at the four corners of the hospital bed at the same time, so that the bed curtain assembly 4 can surround the hospital bed, improve the patient's privacy, and the bed curtain device can move with the hospital bed, effectively protecting the patient's privacy and reducing medical disputes.

[0040] Working principle: In use, first insert the bracket 1 into the mounting base around the hospital bed, and then use bolts to insert into the positioning holes 9 at the bottom of the bracket 1 to limit the bracket 1. The four brackets 1 are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the hospital bed. The patient can use the remote control to start the drive motor 6, which drives the drive gear 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 8 and the drive rod 409 to rotate. The drive rod 409 drives the second transmission gear 412 to rotate, which in turn drives the two first transmission gears 411 to rotate simultaneously. The first transmission gears 411 drive the two linkage worm gears 407 to rotate, which in turn drives the two worm wheels 408 to rotate. The two worm wheels 408 drive the first support shaft 401 and the second support shaft 404 to rotate, which in turn drives the first extension frame 402 and the second extension frame 405 to rotate in the first storage box 2 and the second storage box 3. This allows the first bed curtain 403 and the second bed curtain 406 to be opened outward, thus using the four bed curtains to surround the hospital bed and achieve the effect of protecting the patient's privacy.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
