Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically relating to a fixing device for a hospital bed call device. Background Technology

[0002] As an auxiliary medical device, the pager's main function is to provide instant communication between patients and medical staff, ensuring that patients can quickly obtain assistance when needed. Pagers are mostly used in hospital wards for routine nursing needs, such as changing IV fluids or reporting discomfort, allowing patients to send signals to medical staff quickly and conveniently, and greatly improving the hospital's service efficiency and environment.

[0003] Currently, most call buttons in hospital wards use a wired connection method. Specifically, they are electrically connected to the medical equipment belt on the wall above the bed via a data cable, and are suspended below the medical equipment belt at the head of the bed.

[0004] The following problems exist in the use of this wired call device: (1) The call device is usually fixed on the wall, and the data cable is of different lengths. Patients have different arm spans, so it is not easy for them to reach out and touch the call device directly. When patients with limited self-care ability and their accompanying family members are not present and the patient needs help, the patient often needs to turn to the side, lie prone or lean forward to reach out and grab the call device. This is inconvenient, uncomfortable, and there is a risk of falling off the bed when grabbing the call device in case of sudden discomfort. If the infusion needle is a steel needle, there is also the possibility of needle slippage and bulging.

[0005] (2) The extended data cable is pulled to the patient's bed, but it is easy to fall off because it has no fixed position, so it is still inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides a fixing device for a bedside call device, which aims to solve the problems of inconvenience for patients to pick up the call device when using wired call devices, the possibility of the call device slipping, the call device not being able to be fixed to the bedside, and the possibility of the call device falling when the patient suddenly feels unwell, as well as the possible phenomena such as needle slippage and bulging when the infusion needle is a steel needle, thereby improving the convenience, comfort and safety of use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a fixing device for a bed call device is provided, comprising: a protective shell and a strap, wherein the protective shell has an accommodating cavity for the call device; the protective shell has a button window exposing the buttons of the call device; the strap is disposed on the back of the protective shell opposite to the button window, so as to fix the call device to the headboard or side rail of the bed through the protective shell.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the strap is structured as a silicone bouncy roll that can automatically curl and wrap around the headboard or side railing of the bed.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the protective shell has a guide groove protruding from its back side to limit the strap in a first direction; the guide groove also has a positioning structure for positioning the strap in a second direction; the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the second direction is consistent with the length direction of the strap.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the positioning structure includes: a positioning hole disposed in the guide groove, and a positioning protrusion disposed on the strap to adapt to the positioning hole, the strap passing through the guide groove and being positioned by the positioning protrusion engaging with the positioning hole.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the positioning structure includes: a positioning protrusion disposed in the guide groove, and a positioning hole disposed on the strap to adapt to the positioning protrusion, wherein the strap passes through the guide groove and is positioned by engaging with the positioning protrusion through the positioning hole.

[0012] In one possible implementation, a plurality of positioning holes are spaced apart within the guide groove.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the protective shell is an elastic component having sides that cover the four sides of the pager, the edges of which have edging capable of enclosing the pager, the area enclosed by the edging being the button window.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the protective shell is a resilient silicone material, and the protective shell is integrally formed with the strap based on the silicone slap roll.

[0015] In one feasible approach, the protective shell is a resilient plastic component.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the side of the protective shell also has an illuminated strip indicating the location of a nighttime reminder caller, which the patient can choose to turn on or off.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the bed call device provided by this utility model has the following advantages: the protective shell has a cavity that can enclose the call device; the button window on the protective shell makes it easy for the patient to press the button on the call device; and the strap connected to the protective shell can fix the protective shell and the call device to the headboard or side rail of the bed. In other words, this fixing device fixes the suspended call device in a position that the patient can reach out and touch without having to move their body.

[0018] When a patient feels unwell or needs assistance with intravenous infusion or changing, they can simply reach out and touch the call button to activate it without moving their body. This simple and convenient system solves problems such as difficulty in picking up the call button, the possibility of it slipping, the inability to secure it to the bedside, and the risk of the call button falling when the patient is suddenly unwell. When the infusion needle is made of steel, it also prevents needle slippage and bulging, thus improving the ease of use, comfort, and safety of the call button. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0027] Currently, the most commonly used call buttons in wards, especially general wards, are wired call buttons with data cables. For patients in general wards, when accompanying family members or other family members are temporarily away from the ward to get medication, consult a doctor, or handle other matters, if the patient needs an IV drip change or feels unwell and has difficulty getting up, there is a risk of the patient falling off the bed if they try to sit up to reach the call button due to weakness or sudden discomfort. If the IV needle is made of steel, there is also the risk of needle displacement or bulging. For example, some patients' physical condition makes the IV placement less than ideal, and even slight movement can cause the needle to dislodge; some patients who have been receiving IV drips for a long time may also have difficulty finding the ideal IV placement, and even slight movement can cause bulging; even worse, if a patient suddenly feels unwell and leans forward to reach the call button, they may fall off the bed. To solve this problem and improve the convenience and safety of patients using the call button, this application proposes fixing the call button to the headboard or side rail of the bed.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The fixing device for the bedside call device provided by this utility model will now be described. The fixing device includes: a protective shell 2 and a strap. The protective shell 2 has a cavity for receiving the call device 1; the protective shell 2 has a button window 22 exposing the button 11 of the call device 1; the strap is located on the back of the protective shell 2, away from the button window 22, to fix the call device 1 to the headboard or side rail of the bed via the protective shell 2. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The dotted line in the image represents pager 1, which is enclosed in a protective casing 2.

[0029] The present invention provides a fixing device for a bedside call device. The protective shell 2 has a cavity that can enclose the call device 1. The button window 22 on the protective shell 2 makes it easy for the patient to press the button 11 on the call device 1. The strap connected to the protective shell 2 can fix the protective shell 2 and the call device 1 to the headboard or side rail of the bed. In other words, this fixing device fixes the suspended call device 1 in a position that the patient can reach and touch without having to move his body.

[0030] The fixation device provided in this application can be used to secure the straps to a position within easy reach of the patient, depending on the patient's physical activity, individual physical condition, and individualized physical characteristics.

[0031] For example, if the patient is small and has short upper limbs, the strap can be tied to the bedside guardrail, specifically to the side of the patient's free-moving upper limb that is not receiving intravenous fluids, so that the patient can easily reach and touch the call button 1. If the patient is tall and has long upper limbs, the strap can be tied to the headboard (which has holes for easy strapping), specifically to the side of the patient's free-moving upper limb that is not receiving intravenous fluids, so that the patient can easily reach and touch the call button 1.

[0032] The bedside call device provided by this utility model, compared with the directly suspended call device 1, fixes the call device 1 in a position that the patient can comfortably reach with their outstretched arm by means of a strap. When the patient is uncomfortable or needs medical staff to help with infusion or IV changes, there is no need to move the body. The patient only needs to reach out and touch the call device 1 slightly and press the button 11 on the call device 1 to send a signal. It is simple and convenient to use and avoids the risk of bulging at the IV site, needle displacement, and falling off the bed due to the patient turning over, thus improving the safety of the patient's medical treatment.

[0033] Compared to the existing method of using suction cups to attach the caller 1 to the wall, this method provides a more secure fixation, as suction cups are not tight enough and can easily fall off. It is also closer to the patient's comfortable position, making it more convenient for the patient to use.

[0034] Compared to extending the data cable and pulling the call button 1 to the patient's bedside, the fixing method of this application makes the call button 1 less likely to fall off, and its position is fixed. Patients do not need to search for the call button 1 when using it, making it safer and more convenient to use.

[0035] In practical applications, this application can be used not only for routine fluid changes and care for patients with physical discomfort, but also in medical settings such as nursing homes and beauty salons to help elderly people and patients with limited mobility to quickly contact caregivers.

[0036] Moreover, the protective shell 2 produced in this application can be made based on the shape of the call button 1 currently installed in the hospital bed. According to the patient's needs, the protective shell 2 can be put on the call button 1, and the call button 1 can be removed from the protective shell 2 when not needed. It is simple and convenient to use and has good versatility.

[0037] The strap used in this application has two strap joints. After the two strap joints overlap, they can wrap around the bed side guardrail. There are various structures. For example, a split strap structure can be used. Another example is that the two strap joints have magnets built into them that attract each other. When the two strap joints wrap around and overlap, they are magnetically fixed.

[0038] This application utilizes a commonly used silicone slap ring product, specifically the silicone slap roll described in this application. A silicone slap ring (also known as a silicone bracelet or elastic bracelet) is an elastic ring-shaped item made of silicone, named for the "slap" sound it makes when stretched and springs back. The working principle of a silicone slap ring is as follows:

[0039] Elastic deformation: Silicone material has high elasticity and flexibility. When stretched or twisted, the slap ring will temporarily deform. After being released, it will quickly return to its original shape due to the rebound force of the silicone molecular structure. At the same time, the rapid rebound and friction with the air will produce a "slap" sound.

[0040] Shape memory: The molecular chains of silicone can return to their initial state after being subjected to force, ensuring that it is not easily deformed after multiple uses.

[0041] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the strap is made of silicone rubber rolls. The elastic deformation and memory characteristics of silicone rubber rolls allow them to automatically curl and wrap around the headboard or side rails of the bed, making it easy to select and fix the straps to the headboard or side rails of the bed, thus facilitating the selection and fixation of the position.

[0042] Furthermore, these silicone slap rings are currently common products with mature manufacturing processes. They typically use liquid silicone (LSR) or solid silicone, and are non-toxic, heat-resistant (-40℃~200℃), anti-aging, tear-resistant, and inexpensive to manufacture.

[0043] The following are examples illustrating how the straps are secured.

[0044] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the back of the protective shell 2 is provided with a guide groove 23 protruding from its back to limit the strap along a first direction; the guide groove 23 is also provided with a positioning structure for positioning the strap along a second direction; the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the second direction is consistent with the length direction of the strap. Specifically, in addition to limiting the strap in the first direction, the guide groove 23 also limits the strap in a third direction, wherein the first direction is consistent with the width direction of the guide groove 23, and the third direction is perpendicular to the back of the protective shell 2, thereby achieving limitation of the strap in three directions.

[0045] In the above technical solution, the guide groove 23 limits the strap along the first direction, effectively preventing the strap from swaying or shifting arbitrarily in that direction during use, ensuring the stability of the strap's position in that direction. The positioning structure within the guide groove 23, which positions the strap along the second direction (which aligns with the strap's length), accurately positions the strap along its length, resulting in more precise and neat installation of the strap on the back of the protective shell 2. This not only improves the overall aesthetics but also ensures the strap fits better against the protective shell 2 during use, thus more stably fulfilling its connection and fixation functions. For example, after connecting the protective shell 2 to the bedside guardrail via the strap, the guide groove 23's limitation on the strap in the third direction prevents the strap from detaching from the guide groove 23, ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection and preventing separation of the strap from the protective shell 2, providing patients with a more convenient and reliable user experience.

[0046] Among them, the guide groove 23 is integrally formed on the protective shell 2. The protective shell 2 can be made by injection molding, compression molding or blow molding. These manufacturing processes are commonly used in the production of mobile phone shells. The manufacturing processes are mature and the production cost is low.

[0047] The straps are secured in a detachable and reassembleable manner, allowing them to be removed from the protective case 2.

[0048] Of course, the straps can also be attached to the back of the protective case 2 by adhesive.

[0049] This embodiment continues to use the method of fixing via the guide groove 23 as one embodiment of the positioning structure. The positioning structure includes: a positioning hole (not shown in the figure) disposed in the guide groove 23, and a positioning protrusion 4 (see figure) disposed on the strap to adapt to the positioning hole. Figure 4 The strap passes through the guide groove 23 and is positioned by engaging with the positioning hole through the positioning protrusion 4. This positioning structure allows the strap to be positioned along its length, ensuring the length of both ends of the strap, the length of the overlap after binding, and thus ensuring the firmness of the overlap after binding.

[0050] When assembling the strap and the protective shell 2, first insert one end of the strap into the guide groove 23. When the positioning card protrusion 4 coincides with the positioning card hole, press the strap and the protective shell 2 together to assemble them.

[0051] As another embodiment of the positioning structure, the positioning structure includes: a positioning protrusion 4 disposed within the guide groove 23, and a positioning hole on the strap that adapts to the positioning protrusion 4. The strap passes through the guide groove 23 and is positioned by engaging with the positioning protrusion 4 through the positioning hole. According to this embodiment, the positioning hole can be disposed on the protective shell 2 or on the strap; similarly, the positioning protrusion 4 can be disposed on the protective shell 2 or on the strap. Note that this example is not shown in the figures.

[0052] In some embodiments, the guide groove 23 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes at intervals to improve the firmness of the connection between the strap and the protective shell 2.

[0053] Similarly, multiple positioning protrusions 4 are provided at intervals within the guide groove 23.

[0054] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 3 Based on the given structural understanding, the protective shell 2 is an elastic component with side edges that cover the four sides of the pager 1. The edges of the side edges have edging 21 that can wrap around the pager 1, and the area enclosed by the edging 21 is the button window 22. This structure of the protective shell 2 is similar to that of a mobile phone casing, and the material is also the same as that of a mobile phone casing. The pager 1 is placed inside the elasticity of the protective shell 2, and the narrow edging 21 just covers the edge of the pager 1.

[0055] The protective case 2 can also use two-shot molding, which combines plastics of different colors or materials into a single part through two injection molding processes, achieving color layering and the combination of soft and hard plastics (such as anti-slip borders).

[0056] For example, the protective shell 2 is a TPU soft shell.

[0057] TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a common soft-shell material. Its advantages include:

[0058] Soft and flexible: TPU phone cases fit the phone well and provide a good feel.

[0059] Shock and drop resistant: TPU has good elasticity, which can cushion the phone when it is dropped, reducing the risk of damage.

[0060] Low cost: Compared to other materials, TPU has a lower cost, making it suitable for users who value cost-effectiveness.

[0061] Protective case 2 is a silicone case.

[0062] Silicone shells are typically made of rubber and have the following characteristics:

[0063] Soft and elastic texture: effectively prevents damage to the phone in case of accidental drops or wear.

[0064] Delicate and non-slip: The silicone shell has a very good feel, providing a comfortable grip and a certain degree of non-slip effect.

[0065] A wide range of colors are available: silicone cases are usually available in a variety of colors to meet the personalized needs of different users.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The protective shell 2 is made of elastic silicone and is integrally molded with a silicone slap roll-based strap.

[0067] The silicone slap roll can be fitted with a memory steel sheet, which can improve the durability of the silicone slap roll.

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The protective case 2 is made of elastic plastic. It has side edges that cover the four sides of the pager 1, and the edges of the side edges have edging 21 that can wrap around the pager 1. The area enclosed by the edging 21 is the button window 22. This structure of the protective case 2 is similar to that of a mobile phone shell, and the material is also the same as that of a mobile phone shell. The elasticity of the protective case 2 is used to place the pager 1 inside, and the narrow edging 21 just covers the edge of the pager 1.

[0069] For example, the protective shell 2 is made of PP plastic or acrylic sheet. PP plastic is made of polypropylene (PP), a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer made from propylene monomers through an addition polymerization reaction.

[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, the protective shell 2 also has a luminous strip 5 on its side indicating the location of a nighttime reminder caller, which the patient can choose to turn on or off. This allows the patient to identify the location of the ventilator at night. The luminous strip 5 can be located on either side of the protective shell 2.

[0071] Combination Figure 5 For example, a flexible silicone swivel ring is fixed to the side of the protective shell 2, and reflective tape 51 is attached to the silicone swivel ring to form a reflective strip 5. This allows patients to choose whether to keep the reflective strip always exposed or to curl it up and not expose it, only unfolding it when in use. This is because there are usually two or three beds in a ward, and the characteristics of patients and their accompanying family members differ. Some people dislike bright light at night, otherwise they cannot fall asleep or rest. Exposing the reflective strip directly outside the protective shell might affect a particular patient or their accompanying family member, making it even more difficult for them to fall asleep, especially since they already have difficulty resting.

[0072] Taking this practical situation into account, this application designs an illuminated strip that can be turned on to indicate the location of the call button at night. For example, at night, the side of the silicone slap ring with the reflective strip is rolled inward. When in use, the silicone slap ring can be opened to reveal the reflective strip, indicating the location of the call button to the patient at night. When not in use, the reflective strip is rolled up and hidden.

[0073] Example 2: Use LED light strips and set a switch button to turn the LED light strips on or off.

[0074] This luminous strip 5, also known as a fluorescent strip, reflective strip, or phosphorescent strip, is a material that emits light on its own or by reflecting light in dark environments. It is commonly used for safety warnings, decoration, or functional designs. The following is a detailed introduction to luminous strip 5.

[0075] The light-emitting principle and type of light strip 5 are as follows:

[0076] Self-luminescent type: Relies on radioactive materials (such as tritium) to excite the fluorescent coating to emit light continuously. The brightness is stable and the lifespan is long (up to several years), but safety should be noted.

[0077] Photoluminescent strips: The material contains phosphors (such as zinc sulfide, strontium aluminate, etc.). During the day, they absorb sunlight or lamplight and store energy, which is slowly released in the dark, displaying green, blue, or other fluorescent colors. The luminescence time is usually from a few hours to more than ten hours.

[0078] Reflective light strips: They reflect light through microprisms or glass beads and require an external light source to light up; they do not emit light themselves.

[0079] LED light strip: Built-in LED light strip, requires power to emit light, high brightness and controllable.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts that are not described in detail or recorded in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0081] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
