Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically a hip suspension transport bed for patients with hip fractures. Background Technology

[0002] A patient transport bed is a specialized medical device used for transferring patients between beds, from the operating table to the ward, and from an ambulance. The use of transport beds solves the difficulties of moving patients from the operating table to the ward after surgery, reducing the pain and hardship caused by traditional manual patient transfers. It is widely used in major hospitals and is an essential piece of medical equipment.

[0003] During transport, patients with hip fractures should not have their buttocks subjected to pressure for extended periods. Existing transport beds do not have a structure above them to allow the patient's buttocks to be suspended, which can easily cause secondary damage to the patient's hip joint.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a transport bed that allows patients with hip fractures to have their buttocks suspended has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of medical devices. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hip suspension transport bed for patients with hip fractures, which suspends the patient's buttocks through an opening, making it less likely to cause secondary damage to the patient's hip joint during transport.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A hip suspension transport bed for patients with hip fractures includes a vehicle body with a bed board on top. The bed board has an opening and two axillary pads. The opening is positioned to accommodate the buttocks of a supine patient, with the patient's buttocks recessed within the opening and suspended. The two axillary pads are positioned to accommodate the patient's armpits on either side, with the patient's torso secured between the two pads. A leg pad is also provided on the bed board. The leg pad has a right-angled triangular side and is positioned on the side of the opening furthest from the axillary pads. The patient's thigh and lower leg rest against the two lumbar surfaces of the leg pad, keeping the knees flexed.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the hip suspension transport bed for hip fracture patients using the above-mentioned technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] The hip suspension transport bed for patients with hip fractures of this utility model allows patients to lie supine on the bed board with their buttocks suspended in the air through the opening, which reduces the risk of secondary injury to the patient's hip joint during transport.

[0010] Two armpit pads provide support on both sides of the patient's torso, preventing the torso from accidentally slipping into the opening; leg pads keep the patient's legs bent, preventing the legs from accidentally slipping into the opening, making it easier for the patient to maintain a supine position on the bed.

[0011] Preferably, the bed board is also equipped with a footrest, located on the side of the leg pad away from the opening. The footrest has an inclined surface that slopes towards the leg pad, and the angle between the inclined surface of the footrest and the waist surface of the leg pad is 90°. The patient's feet are placed on the footrest. The footrest provides support for the patient's feet, making them feel comfortable.

[0012] Preferably, the foot pedal can be vertically flipped on the bed board, and a spring is installed between the foot pedal and the bed board: when the foot pedal is pressed, the foot pedal flips down and the spring is twisted; when the foot pedal is released, the spring returns to its original position, causing the foot pedal to flip back to its original position. The patient can press the foot pedal to move their feet appropriately and prevent muscle stiffness caused by prolonged inactivity.

[0013] Preferably, each of the two armpit pads is equipped with a chest strap and a chest buckle. The chest strap passes through the chest buckle and is secured with Velcro, thus fixing the patient's torso to the bed board. The chest strap enhances the fixation of the patient's torso.

[0014] Preferably, the leg pad waist surface is provided with leg straps and leg buckles, which are respectively located on both sides of the patient's leg on the same side. The leg straps pass through the leg buckles and are secured with Velcro, thus fixing the patient's leg to the leg pad waist surface. The leg straps enhance the fixation of the patient's leg.

[0015] Preferably, the opening is surrounded by an elastic pressure-relief pad with rounded edges. This pressure-relief pad reduces pressure on the patient's skin around the opening, allowing the patient to lie comfortably in a supine position.

[0016] Preferably, the vehicle body is equipped with a vertically movable lifting plate and a rotatable height-adjusting crossbar. A movable component is fitted over the height-adjusting crossbar, and this component is threadedly connected to the crossbar. A linkage rod is pivotally connected between the lifting plate and the movable component: when the height-adjusting crossbar rotates forward, the movable component moves on the crossbar, causing the linkage rod to flip downward, thus moving the lifting plate downward and opening the gap; when the height-adjusting crossbar rotates in the reverse direction, the movable component moves on the crossbar, causing the linkage rod to flip upward, thus moving the lifting plate upward and closing the gap. Medical staff can first lift the patient onto the bed board in a supine position, and then rotate the height-adjusting handle to slowly move the lifting plate downward, opening the gap and suspending the patient's buttocks in the air, making it safer.

[0017] Preferably, the armpit pads are horizontally movable on the bed board. The vehicle body includes a movable shift plate and a rotatable adjustment crossbar. The shift plate is fitted over the adjustment crossbar and is threadedly connected to it. The two armpit pads are fixed to the shift plate: when the adjustment crossbar rotates forward, the shift plate moves closer to the opening; when the adjustment crossbar rotates in the opposite direction, the shift plate moves away from the opening. Medical staff can adjust the distance between the armpit pads and the opening as needed by rotating the adjustment handle, making it suitable for patients of different heights.

[0025] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6The hip fracture transport bed shown includes a vehicle body 1, on which a bed board 2 is mounted. The bed board 2 has an opening 20 and two axillary pads 4. The opening 20 is positioned to accommodate the buttocks of a supine patient, with the patient's buttocks nestled within and suspended in the air. The two axillary pads 4 are positioned to accommodate the patient's armpits on both sides, with the patient's torso secured between the two pads. A leg pad 3 is also mounted on the bed board 2. The leg pad 3 has a right-angled triangular shape and is positioned on the side of the opening 20 furthest from the axillary pads 4. The patient's thigh and lower leg rest against the two lumbar surfaces of the leg pad 3, keeping the knees flexed. With the patient supine on the bed board 2 and the buttocks suspended in the air via the opening 20, the transport bed minimizes the risk of secondary injury to the hip joint. Two armpit pads 4 provide support for the patient's torso on both sides, preventing the patient's torso from accidentally slipping into the opening 20; leg pads 3 keep the patient's legs bent at the knees, preventing the patient's legs from accidentally slipping into the opening 20, making it easier for the patient to maintain a supine position on the bed board 2.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The bed board 2 is also equipped with a footrest 21, which is located on the side of the leg pad 3 away from the opening 20. The footrest 21 has an inclined surface that slopes towards the leg pad 3, and the angle between the inclined surface of the footrest 21 and the waist surface of the leg pad 3 is 90°. The patient's feet are placed on the footrest 21. The footrest 21 provides support for the patient's feet, making the patient's feet feel comfortable.

[0028] The foot pedal 21 can be vertically flipped on the bed board 2. A spring 22 is installed between the foot pedal 21 and the bed board 2: when the foot pedal 21 is pressed, the foot pedal 21 flips down and the spring 22 is twisted; when the foot pedal 21 is released, the spring 22 returns to its original position, causing the foot pedal 21 to flip back to its original position. The patient can press the foot pedal 21 to move their feet appropriately and prevent muscle stiffness caused by prolonged inactivity.

[0029] The two armpit pads 4 are each equipped with a chest strap 41 and a chest buckle. The chest strap 41 passes through the chest buckle and is secured with Velcro, thus fixing the patient's torso to the bed board 2. The chest strap 41 enhances the fixation of the patient's torso.

[0030] The leg pad 3 has leg straps 31 and leg buckles on its waist surface. The leg straps 31 and leg buckles are located on both sides of the patient's leg on the same side. The leg straps 31 pass through the leg buckles and are secured with Velcro, thus fixing the patient's leg to the waist surface of the leg pad 3. There are two leg straps 31, and the number of leg buckles is equal to the number of leg straps 31, with corresponding positions. The two leg straps 31 are wrapped around the patient's lower legs on both sides. The leg straps 31 enhance the fixation of the patient's legs.

[0031] The opening 20 is surrounded by an elastic pressure-relief pad 23, with rounded edges on the top of the pressure-relief pad 23. The pressure-relief pad 23 relieves pressure on the patient's skin around the opening 20, making the patient comfortable while lying supine.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 The vehicle body 1 is equipped with a vertically movable lifting plate 54 and a rotatable height adjustment crossbar 51. A movable part 52 is sleeved on the height adjustment crossbar 51 and is threadedly connected to the height adjustment crossbar 51. A linkage rod 53 is flipped between the lifting plate 54 and the movable part 52. A slot 56 is provided at the connection between the linkage rod 53 and the lifting plate 54. The upper end of the linkage rod 53 moves horizontally and rotates within the slot 56. When the height adjustment crossbar 51 rotates in the forward direction, the movable part 52 moves on the adjustment crossbar 61, causing the linkage rod 53 to flip downward, which drives the lifting plate 54 to move downward and opens the opening 20 (as shown in Figure b). When the height adjustment crossbar 51 rotates in the reverse direction, the movable part 52 moves on the adjustment crossbar 61, causing the linkage rod 53 to flip upward, which drives the lifting plate 54 to move upward and closes the opening 20 (as shown in Figure a). Medical staff can first lift the patient onto the bed board 2 and make them lie supine. Then, by turning the height adjustment handle 5, the lifting plate 54 will slowly move downward, opening the opening 20 and suspending the patient's buttocks in the air, which is safer.

[0033] There are two movable parts 52 and two linkage rods 53. The spiral lines of the threads at both ends of the height adjustment bar 51 are opposite. The two movable parts 52 are close to each other and far away from each other on the height adjustment bar 51. The two linkage rods 53 intersect in an X shape and are connected by flipping at the intersection. The lower ends of the two linkage rods 53 are respectively connected to the two movable parts 52.

[0034] The lifting platform 54 is equipped with an elastic hip pad 55. When the opening 20 is closed, the hip pad 55 is embedded in the opening 20, so that the top of the hip pad 55 is on the same horizontal plane as the bed board 2. The hip pad 55 relieves the pressure of the lifting platform 54 on the patient's buttocks, making the patient more comfortable when lying supine.

[0035] refer to Figure 6 The armpit pads 4 can move horizontally on the bed board 2. The vehicle body 1 contains a movable shift plate 62 and a rotatable adjustment crossbar 61. The shift plate 62 is fitted over the adjustment crossbar 61 and is threadedly connected to it. The two armpit pads 4 are fixed to the shift plate 62 respectively. When the adjustment crossbar 61 rotates forward, the shift plate 62 moves closer to the opening 20; when the adjustment crossbar 61 rotates in the opposite direction, the shift plate 62 moves away from the opening 20. Medical staff can adjust the distance between the armpit pads 4 and the opening 20 by rotating the adjustment handle 6, which is suitable for patients of different heights.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5The bed board 2 has a push handle 24, a height adjustment handle 5, and a position adjustment handle 6 at the same end. The height adjustment handle 5 and the position adjustment handle 6 are respectively located on both sides of the push handle 24. The height adjustment handle 5 is engaged with the height adjustment crossbar 51 inside the vehicle body 1. Rotating the height adjustment handle 5 drives the height adjustment crossbar 51 to rotate. The position adjustment handle 6 is fixed to the end of the position adjustment crossbar 61. Rotating the position adjustment handle 6 drives the position adjustment crossbar 61 to rotate. Medical staff can easily push the vehicle body 1 using the push handle 24, and can easily control the movement of the lifting plate 54 and the armpit pad 4 using the height adjustment handle 5 and the position adjustment handle 6.
