Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of weight measurement devices, and in particular to a weight measurement device for bedridden patients. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical treatment, changes in a patient's weight are a very important nutritional indicator, so it is necessary to use a scale to measure the patient's weight. Most of the scales currently in use are standing electronic scales, which require the person to stand on the scale to measure their weight.
[0003] For critically ill patients who are bedridden for extended periods, weight changes are crucial therapeutic data. Medical staff need to measure and record the patient's weight regularly to assess their condition and develop appropriate treatment plans. However, due to the limited mobility, weakness, or other reasons that require bed rest for extended periods, each weight measurement requires one or two caregivers to support the patient's standing position. Furthermore, caregivers must maintain their support during the measurement, affecting its accuracy. Additionally, the need to move the patient frequently poses a risk of secondary injury during transport.
[0004] In the existing technology, such as the Chinese patent with announcement number CN220366905U, a weight measuring device is disclosed. The extension rod of the cylinder extends to lift the weighing plate and the second support plate, while the weight sensor is squeezed to weigh the patient plus the weight of the bed sheet. Finally, the patient's weight can be calculated by subtracting the weight of the bed sheet from the current value. The patient is removed from the hospital bed by using a rope to suspend the bed sheet.
[0005] However, the above technical solution still has at least the following drawbacks: weighing the patient by scooping them up with a bed sheet can easily cause the patient to shake or even fall. This method of detachment is not very safe and can easily cause accidental injury to the patient. In addition, the patient is prone to discomfort during the weighing process, resulting in low comfort and poor flexibility and adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Depend on Figures 1 to 4 The present invention relates to a device for measuring the weight of a bedridden patient, comprising:
[0028] The disengagement assembly includes a base frame 1. Several guide struts 3 are evenly distributed along the direction of the bed body 2 and run horizontally through one side of the base frame 1. The guide struts 3 pass between the bed body 2 and the patient. Several support plates 4 run horizontally through the other side of the base frame 1. The support plates 4 are detachably installed on the lower surface of the two guide struts 3.
[0029] The lifting assembly includes a base 5, a base frame 1 is inserted into the base 5, and a drive assembly for driving the base frame 1 to move up and down is fixedly installed on the base 5. A measuring assembly is provided between the drive assembly and the base frame 1.
[0030] In these embodiments, several guide struts 3 are arranged parallel to each other on the base frame 1, so that they correspond to the bed body 2. After the base frame 1 is moved from one side of the bed body 2 and placed under the bed body 2, the parallel guide struts 3 are placed against the bed body 2 and passed under the patient. Then, the fixing plate 7 located on the other side of the bed body 2 is erected, and the support plate 4 is passed between the patient and the bed body 2 in sequence and installed on the guide struts 3, thereby forming a platform for supporting the patient. Then, the platform is raised by the lifting component, so that the patient is removed from the bed body 2, and the patient's weight is measured by the measuring component. Since the length of the bed body 2 is limited, the number of guide struts 3 and support plates 4 is limited, which can be completed quickly during loading and unloading with minimal impact on the patient. In addition, both the guide struts 3 and support plates 4 can be smooth surfaces and can be thin rods and thin plates (only enough to support the patient) to ensure that they can pass smoothly under the patient during loading and unloading, or can be completed quickly with slight lifting of the patient, making it more convenient and stable to use.
[0031] By coordinating the detachment component, lifting component, drive component, and measuring component, several guide struts 3 are passed under the patient's body to create a space for placing the support plate 4. The support plate 4 is then laid under the patient through the guide struts 3 to form a platform. The patient is then lifted off the bed 2, and their weight is measured. The patient's weight is obtained by subtracting the weight of the detachment component and lifting component from the measured weight. This method not only allows for quick and effective weight measurement but also effectively avoids patient swaying during the measurement process, greatly improving measurement safety and preventing accidental injury to the patient. Furthermore, the patient's position remains largely unchanged during the weighing process, effectively improving measurement comfort and making it more convenient for bedridden patients. The flexibility and adaptability of the measurement method are greatly enhanced, making it more practical.
[0032] In some embodiments of a bedridden patient weight measuring device, a fixed frame 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the base frame 1, and several guide struts 3 pass through the fixed frame 6 respectively;
[0033] A fixed plate 7 is hinged to the other side of the base frame 1, and several support plates 4 pass through the fixed plate 7 in sequence.
[0034] In these embodiments, the support of the fixing frame 6 and the fixing plate 7 ensures that the platform can stably place the patient. The hinged fixing plate 7 allows the base frame 1 to be quickly pushed under the bed 2 (where there are no obstacles under the bed 2, or after avoiding obstacles), and then the fixing plate 7 can be erected to build the measurement platform, making it more flexible and convenient to use.
[0035] In some embodiments of a bedridden patient weight measurement device, the other end of the guide strut 3 passes through the fixing plate 7, and the other end of the strut 4 is inserted into the fixing frame 6.
[0036] In these embodiments, the cooperation between the fixing plate 7 and the fixing frame 6 ensures that the guide support rod 3 can be quickly and accurately erected, avoiding misalignment that could affect the installation of the support plate 4. Furthermore, the corresponding installation position of the guide support rod 3 ensures stable installation, so as to stably support the patient.
[0037] In some embodiments of a bedridden patient weight measurement device, a limiting groove 8 is formed on the lower surface of the guide support rod 3, and a limiting strip 9 is formed on the upper surface of the support plate 4. The limiting strip 9 is slidably installed in the limiting groove 8.
[0038] In these embodiments, the support plate 4 is slidably inserted into the limiting groove 8 via the limiting strip 9, so as to facilitate quick installation and removal, while also ensuring the stable installation of the support plate 4, which helps to reduce the difficulty of use.
[0039] In some embodiments of a bedridden patient weight measuring device, a slot 10 is formed on one side of a support plate 4, and a strip 11 is formed on the other side of the support plate 4, wherein the strip 11 of one of the support plates 4 is slidably installed in the slot 10 of an adjacent support plate 4.
[0040] In these embodiments, the support plates 4 can be quickly connected through the cooperation of the slot 10 and the strip 11. While the support plate 4 is installed on the guide support rod 3, the support plate 4 is connected to another adjacent support plate 4. This can ensure the accuracy of installation, improve the safety and stability of the platform, and make it easier for patients to take measurements quickly.
[0041] In some embodiments of a bedridden patient weight measurement device, a support rod 12 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base frame 1 near the fixed frame 6, and a positioning rod 13 is hinged to the top of the support rod 12. The movable end of the positioning rod 13 can be engaged with the fixed plate 7.
[0042] In these embodiments, the fixing effect of the fixing plate 7 can be further improved by the cooperation of the support rod 12 and the positioning rod 13. After the fixing plate 7 is erected, the positioning rod 13 is flipped and snapped onto the fixing plate 7, which can not only firmly fix the fixing plate 7, but also restrict the platform on which it is mounted, ensuring the safety of the patient during measurement, effectively improving the adaptability of use and meeting the measurement needs of different patients.
[0043] In some embodiments of a bedridden patient weight measuring device, a column 14 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 5, and a pole 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base frame 1, with the pole 15 inserted into the corresponding column 14.
[0044] In these embodiments, the stability of the base frame 1 during the lifting process is ensured by the cooperation of the column 14 and the pole 15. Driven by the drive component and supported by the pole 15, the base frame 1 can quickly and stably complete the lifting and lowering.
[0045] In some embodiments of a bedridden patient weight measurement device, the drive assembly includes a lifting rod 16, which is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 5, and the measuring assembly is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting rod 16.
[0046] In these embodiments, the lifting rod 16 drives the base frame 1 to complete the lifting movement, and in conjunction with the column 14 and the pole 15, the operation is more convenient and efficient. The lifting rod 16 can be a hydraulic lifting rod, an electric telescopic rod, etc. The mechanical structure and working principle of the hydraulic lifting rod and the electric telescopic rod are existing technologies, so their detailed mechanical structure and working principle will not be described in detail in this article.
[0047] In some embodiments of a bedridden patient weight measurement device, the measuring components include a weighing body 17, a mounting plate 18 fixedly mounted on the top of a lifting rod 16, the weighing body 17 being fixedly mounted in the mounting plate 18, and the weighing body 17 being able to abut against the base frame 1.
[0048] In these embodiments, through the cooperation of the mounting plate 18 and the measuring scale body 17, as the mounting plate 18 is raised, the base frame 1 is connected to the patient and placed on the measuring scale body 17, and then the measurement is completed. The patient's weight can be quickly obtained by simply subtracting the inherent weight of the base frame 1 and other components. In this case, the fixed weight of the base frame 1 and other components can be measured before the measurement, and then the weight can be tare by the measuring scale body 17. The mechanical structure and working principle of the measuring scale body 17 are all existing technologies, so its detailed mechanical structure and working principle will not be described in detail in this article.
[0049] In some embodiments of a bedridden patient weight measuring device, a guide wheel 19 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base 5, a storage box 20 for storing and retrieving the support plate 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the base 5, and a control box 21 is fixedly installed on the other side of the upper surface of the base 5.
[0050] In these embodiments, the storage box 20 enables quick access to the support plate 4, facilitating its loading and unloading. The guide wheels 19 allow for rapid movement of the device, ensuring that the base frame 1 can be quickly and accurately placed under the bed 2. The control box 21 controls the device, making operation more convenient and improving the work efficiency of medical staff.
