Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention relates to a nursing bed for the elderly with an assistive standing function. The overall design aims to improve the convenience and safety of the elderly in getting up independently. Through innovative structural design, this nursing bed solves many shortcomings of existing nursing beds in assisting the elderly to get up, especially addressing the problem that the elderly cannot operate independently when using it alone.

[0021] The main body of the nursing bed includes a bed frame 1, a first bed board 2, and a second bed board 3. The second bed board 3 is fixedly connected to the bed frame 1, providing a stable support base. The first bed board 2 is connected to the second bed board 3 by a hinge, allowing the bed to be flexibly adjusted in tilt angle to meet the needs of elderly people when getting up. This design not only simplifies the operation process but also enables elderly people to get up independently without assistance.

[0022] A drive assembly is cleverly installed on the left end of the bed frame 1. The first bed board 2 is rotated using an electric push rod 4. The top of the electric push rod 4 is hinged to the lower side of the first bed board 2, and the bottom is connected to the bed frame 1. By setting a control button 71 on the first sliding sleeve 7 on the armrest 6, the user can easily start the electric push rod 4 to push the first bed board 2 to flip upward along the hinge, assisting the user to sit up easily. This design not only simplifies the operation process, but also enables the elderly to complete the getting-up action independently without the assistance of others.

[0023] The footboard 5 on the right end of the bed frame 1 is designed to move laterally. Its position is adjusted via a connector 8 that connects to the first sliding sleeve 7 on the armrest 6. The user can slide the first sliding sleeve 7 according to their height and comfort, thereby moving the footboard 5 laterally so that it can support the user's feet. During the process of getting up, the support provided by the footboard 5 effectively prevents the user's body from sliding down, ensuring stability and safety during the process.

[0024] The design of the connector 8 is particularly ingenious. Through the cooperation of the slide rod 81, the second slide sleeve 82 and the connecting column 83, the flexible adjustment and fixation of the bed end plate 5 are realized. The setting of the insertion rod 84 further optimizes this function. Its bottom cooperates with multiple insertion holes 85 on the slide rod 81 to firmly fix the adjusted position of the bed end plate 5.

[0025] Specifically, the top of the insertion rod 84 is equipped with a pull rod 86, which extends out of the connecting post 83 through a long, narrow protrusion 87 for easy user operation. This design allows the user to easily pull the insertion rod 84 out of or into the insertion hole 85 on the slide rod 81 by pulling the pull rod 86, thereby achieving quick adjustment and fixation of the bed tailboard 5. The movable cavity 88 and spring 90 structure inside the connecting post 83 further optimize the movement process of the insertion rod 84. When the user pulls the pull rod 86 downwards, the insertion rod 84 moves upwards, allowing for lateral adjustment of the position of the bed tailboard 5. After adjustment, releasing the pull rod 86 pushes the insertion rod 84 downwards into the corresponding insertion hole 85 under the action of the spring 90, ensuring the convenience of the equipment during use.

[0026] In practical use, elderly people can easily adjust the position of the footboard 5 according to their needs and activate the electric push rod 4 via the control button 71 to get up independently. This design not only improves the elderly's ability to take care of themselves but also ensures comfort and safety through user-friendly design details. For example, the control button 71 is located on the first sliding sleeve 7 of the armrest 6, making it easy for users to operate in different postures; while the adjustable design of the footboard 5 fully considers the height differences of different users, ensuring that everyone can find the most suitable position for themselves.

[0027] In summary, this utility model of a nursing bed with assisted sitting function, through its innovative structural design and user-friendly details, not only addresses the shortcomings of existing nursing beds in assisting the elderly to get up, but also significantly improves the elderly's self-care ability and quality of life. This design provides great convenience for the lives of the elderly and also offers a completely new approach to nursing bed design, possessing high practical value and significant potential for wider application.
