Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital bed protection technology, and more specifically, to a hospital bed rail extender. Background Technology

[0002] Bed rails, as an important facility for ensuring patient safety, primarily function to prevent patients from falling out of bed when unconsciously turning over, moving, or becoming agitated. This is especially crucial for high-risk groups such as elderly patients, postoperative patients, those with limited mobility, and children. However, existing bed rail designs have significant shortcomings, specifically:

[0003] Excessive gap between bed rails and foot of bed: Although existing hospital beds are equipped with bed rails, there is a large gap between the rails and the foot of the bed, making it easy for infants, young children, and patients with limited mobility to fall through this gap, increasing the risk of patients falling out of bed. Simply increasing the number of rail posts to expand the protective area results in the rails being too long when folded up, extending beyond the bed and occupying ward space, affecting the normal passage of patients, caregivers, and medical staff. Therefore, we have made improvements by proposing a bed rail extender. Utility Model Content

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0027] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-4 The bed rail extender includes an extension guard 1, which is installed at the gap between the foot of the bed and the bed rail to prevent people from falling through the gap. This increases the protective area of ​​the bed rail and reduces the risk of patients falling out of bed, especially for infants, patients with poor mental state, and patients with limited mobility, providing more comprehensive safety protection. Since the extension guard 1 is not integrated with the original bed rail, its end will not protrude from the bed when it is folded up, thus avoiding occupying ward space and ensuring normal passage for patients, caregivers, and medical staff in the ward.

[0028] The extended protective section 1 includes a bottom support rod 101 and a top support rod 102 located above the bottom support rod 101. A first fixing seat 103 is installed on one side of the bottom of the top support rod 102. A first protective rod 104 is hinged between the first fixing seat 103 and the bottom support rod 101. Several second protective rods 105 are hinged between the top support rod 102 and the bottom support rod 101. The top support rod 102, the bottom support rod 101, the first protective rod 104, and the second protective rods 105 cooperate with each other to form protection for the gap between the foot of the bed and the bed rail. It should be noted that the height of the extended protective section 1 is greater than the height of the bed rail.

[0029] Furthermore, a fixing part is provided between the first protective rod 104 and the first fixed seat 103. The fixing part is used to fix the first protective rod 104 so that the first protective rod 104 on the chair surface can rotate.

[0030] Furthermore, the fixing part includes: a second fixing seat 106 fixedly installed on the first protective rod 104, the second fixing seat 106 being located below the first fixing seat 103, and the second fixing seat 106 having an insertion hole 107; the fixing part also includes: a sliding groove 108 and a chamber 109 formed on the first fixing seat 103, a handle 110 slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 108, an insertion rod 112 fixedly installed at the bottom of the handle 110, the bottom end of the insertion rod 112 passing through the chamber 109 and being inserted into the insertion hole 107, the insertion of the insertion rod 112 into the insertion hole 107 achieves the limitation of the first protective rod 104, so that the first protective rod 104 cannot rotate around the hinge point with the first fixing seat 103, and the limitation is released after the handle 110 is pulled upward to separate the insertion rod 112 from the insertion hole 107, thereby allowing the first protective rod 104 to rotate.

[0031] Furthermore, a baffle 111 is slidably connected inside the chamber 109, and the baffle 111 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the insertion rod 112; a spring 113 is sleeved on the outer surface of the insertion rod 112, and the spring 113 is located between the baffle 111 and the chamber 109, and the spring 113 is located above the baffle 111. The spring 113 and the baffle 111 cooperate with each other to limit the insertion rod 112, so as to improve the stability of the insertion rod 112 and the insertion hole 107.

[0032] Furthermore, the bottom of the bottom support rod 101 is provided with a mounting part 2, which is used to extend the installation of the protective part 1. The mounting part 2 is used to install the extended protective part 1 at the bottom of the bed.

[0033] Furthermore, the mounting part 2 includes two connecting seats 201 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the bottom support rod 101, and each connecting seat 201 is provided with a mounting component; a connecting rod 202 is fixedly connected between the two connecting seats 201, and the connecting rod 202 is provided to facilitate pushing and pulling the bottom support rod 101.

[0034] Furthermore, the mounting component includes a mounting base 205, which has two sliding cavities. An extension rod 203 is slidably connected to each of the two sliding cavities. One end of the extension rod 203 is fixedly connected to the connecting base 201, and a limit plate 204 is fixedly installed between the other ends of the two extension rods 203. Several mounting screw holes 206 are provided on the top of the mounting base 205. After the extended protective part 1 is folded, its top is lower than the side of the hospital bed.

[0035] In use, countersunk holes corresponding to mounting screw holes 206 are set on the bed board of the hospital bed. Then, bolts are passed through the countersunk holes and connected to the mounting screw holes 206 to complete the installation of this application. After installation, when the mounting base 205 contacts the limiting plate 204, the bottom support rod 101 is located just below the side of the hospital bed. This setting allows the extended protective part 1 to form a limit after standing up with the side of the hospital bed, so that the bottom support rod 101 cannot move towards the limiting plate 204 under the limitation of the hospital bed, and cannot continue to move away from the hospital bed under the limitation of the limiting plate 204, so that the extended protective part 1 maintains stable protection after standing up.

[0036] When folding, pull the handle 110 upwards to separate the handle 110 from the insertion hole 107, thus releasing the limiting position of the first protective rod 104. At this time, the bottom support rod 101 can be pushed downwards to fold the extended protective part 1, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, after folding, the height of the bottom support rod 101 is lower than the side of the bed. Therefore, the connecting rod 202 can be pushed towards the bottom of the bed to move the extended protective part 1 to the bottom of the bed, thereby avoiding occupying the ward space and ensuring the normal passage of patients, caregivers and medical staff in the ward. It should be noted that the first fixed seat 103 faces the head of the bed and moves towards the head of the bed when folding. Therefore, it will not protrude from the foot of the bed after folding. Also, the extended protective part 1 and the original bed rails of the bed are not on the same plane and will not interfere with each other.

[0037] When using it again, pull the connecting rod 202 outward until the mounting base 205 contacts the mounting base 205 and cannot be pulled any further. At the same time, lift the handle 110 upward and pull the bottom support rod 101 to make the first protective rod 104 and the second protective rod 105 stand up. Then, insert the insertion rod 112 into the insertion hole 107.
