Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical flatbed technology, and in particular to an improved flatbed. Background Technology

[0002] Medical stretchers are generally used as a transport device to transfer patients from wards to operating rooms or from operating rooms back to wards. They are also used for transporting emergency patients or as a mobile device for patients with mobility difficulties to go to various examination rooms for examinations.

[0003] Traditional medical stretchers are not only used for indoor transport in departments, but also often pushed outdoors to transfer patients to other buildings. When pushed uphill outdoors, the stretcher tilts, and the patient on the stretcher will tilt along with the frame because there is no downward support. In particular, the patient's head is very likely to tilt and hit the backboard, making the already uncomfortable patient even more uncomfortable when being transported on the stretcher.

[0004] Based on the above background, an improved flatbed cart is proposed to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide an improved flatbed cart.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: an improved flatbed cart, comprising:

[0008] bedstead;

[0009] The base frame, located under the bed frame;

[0010] A spacer pad, which is installed on the bed frame;

[0011] There are two mounting plates, which are installed between the bed frame and the base frame; among them...

[0012] The partition is divided into a head pad, a torso pad, and a leg pad. The head pad and the torso pad, as well as the torso pad and the leg pad, are rotatably connected. Both mounting plates are equipped with electric actuators, which are rotatably connected to the underside of the head pad and the leg pad, respectively. The width of the head pad and the torso pad is greater than the width of the bed frame, while the width of the leg pad is less than the width of the bed frame.

[0013] In some embodiments, an electric drive wheel is provided under the base frame.

[0014] In some embodiments, backrests are installed on both the front and rear sides of the bed frame.

[0015] In some embodiments, the electric actuator is mounted on the mounting plate via a lug, and the head pad and the lower side of the leg pad are rotatably connected to the electric actuator via the lug.

[0016] In some embodiments, support components are installed on both sides of the bed frame near the leg pads and are used to support the leg pads on the bed frame.

[0017] In some embodiments, the support assembly includes a cylinder and a support frame, wherein the cylinder body is mounted on the bed frame, the rod body is connected to the support frame, and the support frame is located on the side of the leg pad.

[0018] In some embodiments, the bed frame is equipped with a raised rod, on which the headrest and torso rest are placed.

[0019] In some embodiments, the height of the shim rod is the same as the height of the support frame.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a partition to divide the bed into a head pad, a torso pad, and a leg pad, and the adjacent parts are connected by a rotating mechanism. When the flatbed encounters an incline, the electric push rod can lift the head pad and pull down the leg pad, fixing it at a certain angle with the middle torso pad. This provides support for the patient's head when the bed frame is tilted. Furthermore, when the bed frame is tilted upwards, the patient's legs can be supported between the torso pad and the leg pad, preventing the flat partition from causing the patient to tilt and move uncomfortably. This makes outdoor transport smoother, more convenient to use, and improves practicality.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a thorough understanding of how this utility model uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects, enabling its implementation. It should be noted that, provided there is no conflict, the various embodiments and features within them can be combined with each other, and all resulting technical solutions are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0034] Furthermore, numerous specific details are set forth in the following description for illustrative purposes to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention may be practiced without the specific details or particular methods described herein.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an improved flatbed cart, including: a bed frame 1, a base frame 2, a partition 3, and a mounting plate 4. The base frame 2 is located under the bed frame 1; the partition 3 is installed on the bed frame 1; there are two mounting plates 4, which are installed between the bed frame 1 and the base frame 2; the partition 3 is divided into a head pad 5, a torso pad 6, and a leg pad 7, which are rotatably connected to each other. Each mounting plate 4 is provided with an electric actuator 8, which is rotatably connected to the underside of the head pad 5 and the leg pad 7, respectively. The width of the head pad 5 and the torso pad 6 is greater than the width of the bed frame 1, and the width of the leg pad 7 is less than the width of the bed frame 1.

[0036] When in use, the electric actuator 8 is installed on the mounting plate 4. The patient lies on the partition 3, and the bed frame 1 is moved to transfer the stretcher to the patient. When encountering an incline during the transfer, the electric actuator 8 is activated, the actuator extends, and pushes the head pad 5 upward, causing the head pad 5 to rotate upward on the side of the torso pad 6, thus lifting the patient's head and upper body. The patient can then rest on the inclined head pad 5, providing support for the patient's head when the bed frame 1 is tilted. At the same time, another electric actuator 8 pulls the leg pad 7 downward, causing the leg pad 7 to rotate downward on the side of the torso pad 6, allowing the patient's lower legs to be lowered. Thus, the patient's knee joint can be sandwiched between the torso pad 6 and the leg pad 7. This ensures that when the bed frame 1 is tilted upward, the patient's legs can be supported between the torso pad 6 and the leg pad 7, preventing the flat partition 3 from causing the patient to tilt and move, thus avoiding discomfort.

[0037] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, an electric drive wheel 9 is provided under the base frame 2. The electric drive wheel 9 rotates by electric control, enabling the flatcar to move automatically, which makes pushing and transporting more labor-saving.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, backrests 10 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the bed frame 1. These backrests serve to provide support for the patient and also prevent the patient from sliding off the bed frame 1.

[0039] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the electric actuator 8 is mounted on the mounting plate 4 via a lug 11, and the head pad 5 and the lower side of the leg pad 7 are rotatably connected to the electric actuator 8 via the lug 11. To prevent the electric actuator 8 from jamming during operation, a shaft hole is provided on the lug 11, and a shaft is provided in the shaft hole. The electric actuator 8 is connected to the shaft, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the electric actuator 8 and the mounting plate 4, the head pad 5, and the leg pad 7. This allows the head pad 5 and the leg pad 7 to rotate and tilt when the rod of the electric actuator 8 extends or retracts.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, support components 12 are installed on both sides of the bed frame 1 near the leg rest 7 and are used to support the leg rest 7 on the bed frame 1. This serves to support the leg rest 7 on the bed frame 1, so that the patient's legs will not wobble when lying flat, and increases the support force of the leg rest 7 on the legs.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the support assembly 12 includes a cylinder 121 and a support frame 122. The cylinder body of the cylinder 121 is mounted on the bed frame 1, and the rod body is connected to the support frame 122. The support frame 122 is located on the side of the leg pad 7. Since the leg pad 7 is only rotatably connected to the torso pad 6 on the bed frame 1, and the other side is supported by the electric push rod 8 at the bottom, there is a risk of the leg pad 7 swaying when a heavier patient is lying on the gurney and moving or turning over. Therefore, in this application, when the leg pad 7 does not need to rotate downwards, the cylinder 121 pushes the support frame 122 to move towards the leg pad 7 until the support frame 122 supports the bottom of the leg pad 7, limiting the leg pad 7 on the bed frame 1. This increases its stability when balanced, making the patient more balanced and comfortable when lying flat.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, a raised rod 13 is installed on the bed frame 1, and the headrest 5 and torso rest 6 are both placed on the raised rod 13. The height of the raised rod 13 is the same as the height of the support frame 122. This serves to ensure that the headrest 5, torso rest 6, and leg rest 7 are at the same height, so that the patient will not experience any discomfort due to uneven height when lying on it.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, a controller is also installed on the bed frame 1 to control the start and stop of the cylinder 121 and the electric push rod 8.
