Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 A foldable anti-tipping guardrail for a medical bed includes a connecting plate 3 installed on the outside of the bed frame 1. The connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bed frame 1 by fasteners. A guardrail frame 2 is movably arranged on the outside of the connecting plate 3. Two sets of mounting seats 4 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting plate 3. A rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to both ends of the guardrail frame 2. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 4. Three sets of limiting frames 6 are arranged on the outside of one set of mounting seats 4 to limit the angle of the rotating shaft 5. A fixing frame 501 is fixedly connected to the outside end of the rotating shaft 5. A positioning pin 502 is threaded through the fixing frame 501. The positioning pin 502 is engaged with the limiting frame 6. The three sets of limiting frames 6 are evenly fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting seat 4. The three sets of limiting frames 6 are arranged at 90° intervals with the rotating shaft 5 as the center.

[0024] Based on the above structural design, and referring to the appendix of the instruction manual Figure 1 , 2 4. The positioning pin 502 can be disengaged from the inner wall of the limiting frame 6 by rotating the threaded pin 5. Then, the angle of the guardrail frame 2 can be rotated by the rotating shaft 5 to present different states. Continue to rotate the positioning pin 502 to engage with the corresponding limiting frame 6, thus completing the angle fixation of the guardrail frame 2 after the angle adjustment. That is, as per the instruction manual. Figure 1 This is the state it should be in when stored. (Instruction manual included) Figure 2 To prevent tipping over, the instruction manual includes... Figure 4 This refers to the state at the time of use.

[0025] It should be added that the outer side of the guardrail frame 2 is provided with an insertion interface 7 that connects to the inner cavity. A handle 8 is also provided on the outer side of the guardrail frame 2, while a sliding rod 9 is slidably installed inside the guardrail frame 2. The sliding rod 9 and the handle 8 are connected by a support plate 10, which slidably passes through the insertion interface 7. A guide rail 901 is provided laterally on the inner wall of the guardrail frame 2, limiting the sliding movement of the guide rail 901 and the sliding rod 9 on both sides. A guide opening 201 is provided on the outer side of the guardrail frame 2, and a guide rod 202 slidably passes through the guide opening 201. The guide rod 202 is rotatably connected to the handle 8 and the sliding rod 9. Threads are provided on the outer surfaces of the guide rod 202 near the handle 8 and the sliding rod 9, and the guide rod 202 is threadedly connected to the guide opening 201 through the outer threads.

[0026] Reference manual attached Figure 4 , 5 As shown, and in conjunction with the above supplement, when we adjust the guardrail frame 2 to be horizontal, i.e., in its usable state, we then rotate the guide rod 202 so that the thread on the side near the handle 8 connects with the guide opening 201 until the thread on the outer side of the guide rod 202 near the handle 8 disengages from the guide opening 201. At this point, we can pull the support plate 10 outwards along with the sliding rod 9 by pulling the handle 8 until the thread on the outer side of the guide rod 202 near the sliding rod 9 contacts the guide opening 201. Then, we rotate the guide rod 202 again so that the thread on the outer side of the guide rod 202 near the sliding rod 9 connects with the insertion interface 201. The position of the pulled-out support plate 10 can then be fixed. This forms a dining table structure, with the support plate 10 away from the bed, eliminating the risk of it falling onto the bed. It can also serve other uses. It should be noted that the entire outer side of the guide rod 202 can be threaded, allowing adjustment of the pull-out length of the support plate 10 to meet different usage needs.

[0027] The handle 8 has a storage groove 801 on its outer side, and a threaded pin 802 is threadedly inserted into the storage groove 801. The threaded pin 802 has an opening on its outer side. (Refer to the attached instruction manual.) Figure 1 In the storage frame 2, a threaded pin 802 extends by rotating. The opening on the outside of the threaded pin 802 can be used to hang packaging bags, making it convenient to hang some daily necessities. It should be noted that the threaded pin 802 is not completely stored in the storage slot 801 when not in use, to avoid being unable to pull it out.

[0028] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
