[0025] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.
[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a child hospital bed guardrail is provided, including a guardrail body 1, a breathable mesh fabric 2 covering the outer surface of the guardrail body 1, a decorative component 3 detachably installed on the guardrail body 1, a connecting mechanism 4 for fixed connection with the child hospital bed at the bottom of the guardrail body 1, and a safety protection module inside the guardrail body 1.
[0027] In this embodiment, a breathable mesh fabric 2 is fitted on the outer surface of the guardrail body 1 to avoid the risk of suffocation when the child's face is pressed against it. The decorative component 3 is installed to actively attract the child's attention, interact with the child, and reduce the child's anxiety. The connecting mechanism 4 is used to fix the guardrail body 1 to the edge of the hospital bed. The safety protection module can effectively remind medical staff when the child is doing dangerous actions and prevent the child from falling over when leaning against the guardrail body.
[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting mechanism 4 includes a slide rail 41, a slider 42, and a telescopic rod 43. The two ends of the telescopic rod 43 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the guardrail body 1 and the top of the slider 42. The slider 42 is movably disposed in the slide rail 41. The two ends of the slide rail 41 are provided with fixing holes 411. Locking bolts for fixing to the children's hospital bed are provided in the fixing holes 411. The slide rail 41 is fixedly connected to the children's hospital bed through the locking bolts. The slider 42 can move back and forth along the length of the slide rail 41. At the same time, the locking bolts not only serve to fix the slide rail 41, but also prevent the slider 42 from detaching from the slide rail 41. The length of the slide rail 41 is long enough to allow the guardrail body 1 to move from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed.
[0029] Furthermore, both the slide rail 41 and the slider 42 are T-shaped structures. The bottom of the slider 42 is equipped with a magnet, which is magnetically connected to the inner surface of the slide rail 41. The magnetic attraction of the magnet can enhance the connection stability between the slider 42 and the slide rail 41. At the same time, the T-shaped structure can prevent the guardrail body 1 from being lifted directly upwards, increasing safety and better protecting the child.
[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, the guardrail body 1 includes a horizontal straight bar 11 and a vertical upright bar 12. The horizontal straight bar 11 and the vertical upright bar 12 are rotatably connected to form a rectangular frame. The outer surfaces of the horizontal straight bar 11 and the vertical upright bar 12 are covered with a food-grade silicone soft covering layer. The thickness of the food-grade silicone soft covering layer is 8-10mm, which completely covers the outer surfaces of the horizontal straight bar 11 and the vertical upright bar 12, forming a flexible contact surface, which can effectively reduce the risk of injury from collisions. Preferably, the surface of the food-grade silicone soft covering layer is provided with dot-matrix ventilation holes to avoid the risk of suffocation when the child's face is pressed against it.
[0031] Furthermore, the safety protection module includes a gravity sensor 51, an audible and visual alarm 52, and a power module. The power module is located inside the guardrail body 1. The gravity sensor 51 is embedded inside the horizontal bar 11, and the audible and visual alarm 52 is located on the vertical bar 12. The gravity sensor 51, the audible and visual alarm 52, and the power module are interconnected. The gravity sensor 51, embedded inside the horizontal bar 11, monitors the force state of the guardrail body 1 in real time. When continuous lateral pressure is detected (such as when a child climbs) or the connecting mechanism 4 is not locked, the audible and visual alarm 52 is triggered to emit a warning sound. At the same time, an alarm signal is sent to the nurse station via a wireless module. The gravity sensor 51, combined with an intelligent algorithm, can distinguish between normal activities and dangerous actions (such as climbing) of the child, triggering the audible and visual alarm 52 in real time and notifying medical staff. This reduces the rate of falls from the bed and prevents the child from tipping over when leaning against it.
[0032] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the horizontal straight rod 11, and a spring 111 is installed in the groove. A limit block 112 is provided on the horizontal straight rod 11. The design of the spring 111 can prevent the hand from being pinched and play a buffering role. The limit block 112 is made of soft material. The side of the limit block 112 near the vertical upright rod 12 has an inclined surface, which makes it easy for the vertical upright rod 12 to rotate downward and retract. After retracting, due to the elastic force of the spring 111, the vertical upright rod 12 will bounce up to a certain height. At this time, the limit block 112 restricts the vertical upright rod 12 from bouncing up. If it needs to bounce up, a certain force needs to be applied manually to lift it up.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, the decorative component 3 is an animal-shaped module, which includes a head 31, a torso 32 and feet 33. The head 31, torso 32 and feet 33 are all injection molded from ABS plastic and coated with environmentally friendly paint on their outer surfaces.
[0034] Furthermore, a touch-sensitive chip and an LED soft light are installed inside the head 31, and a player is installed inside the torso 32.
[0035] In this embodiment, the head 31 has a built-in touch-sensing chip. When the child touches the ear area, it triggers the soft LED to flash or plays a pre-recorded nursery rhyme to achieve an interactive soothing function. The decorative component 3 is not only an animal-shaped module, but also contains a touch-sensing chip, an LED soft light, and a player, realizing the linkage of "soothing-monitoring-alarm" functions. The animal shape and the sound and light interaction function distract the child's attention, reducing the time spent crying and struggling, and shortening the duration of a single care session. Preferably, the decorative component 3 can also be other items that children like, which is suitable for various usage scenarios. At the same time, the detachable installation of the decorative component 3 can avoid the welding and screw fixing steps of traditional guardrails, reducing production processes.
[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, the decorative component 3 has a buckle on its back, and the guardrail body 1 has a reserved interface that cooperates with the buckle. The buckle on the back of the decorative component 3 is fitted and fixed with the reserved interface of the guardrail body 1, which supports quick assembly and disassembly.
[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the interior of the guardrail body 1 is provided with sponge, and the fully soft-covered design (silicone layer + sponge) avoids direct contact between the metal frame and the skin, reducing collision damage.
[0038] Preferably, the breathable mesh fabric 2 is detachable and supports high-temperature steam sterilization, reducing the bacterial growth rate. The audible and visual alarm 52 uses soft LED light and white noise prompts with a decibel value ≤45dB to avoid irritating alarms.
[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
