Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a multifunctional support for hospital beds, belonging to the field of medical devices. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional hospital bed supports are armrests that span both sides of the bed for patients to eat. However, existing supports only have simple extension and retraction functions, making it inconvenient for patients to eat, read, use tablets, or work in bed. There is a lack of suitable supports or shelves, specifically:

[0003] Regarding diet: Bedridden patients usually need to be in a semi-recumbent position, but ordinary trays may be unstable and prone to spillage; the placement of tableware may be unreasonable, and patients may need others to help adjust the position, especially patients with limited upper limb movement who do not have the ability to adjust their height in the vertical direction.

[0004] For reading and working: The support angle of books or electronic devices may be unsuitable, leading to neck fatigue; insufficient lighting is also a problem, especially at night, as the main lighting in the ward may affect other patients. Unstable devices, such as tablets or laptops, are prone to sliding, affecting usability. Prolonged use may cause arm fatigue, especially for postoperative patients.

[0005] Hospital beds are usually limited in space, and patients may not be able to sit up or move around easily, so the support needs to be able to adapt to different postures, such as semi-reclining.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides a multifunctional support for hospital beds to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of a multifunctional support for a hospital bed, including two fixing claws 10 that can be movably locked onto the armrests on both sides of the hospital bed. Each fixing claw 10 has a lifting rod 20 fixed on its top surface, and a shelf 30 is installed between the two lifting rods 20.

[0033] The shelf 30 includes a first shelf 301 and an extension rod 302. The two horizontal ends of the first shelf 301 are detachably and fixedly connected to the top of the lifting rod 20 via the extension rod 302.

[0034] This utility model utilizes a lifting rod 20 to connect an extension rod 302 and a fixing claw 10. When different widths of hospital beds are required, the extension rod 302 is pulled outwards, causing the fixing claw 10 to engage with the armrests on both sides of the hospital bed, spanning the bed. Then, according to the patient's different postures, the vertical height and tilt angle of the first shelf 301 are adjusted to better suit the patient's use. Specifically:

[0035] The lifting rod 20 includes a first support rod 201 and a second support rod 202. The first support rod 201 is housed inside the second support rod 202, and a bolt passes through the second support rod 202 to contact the first support rod 201. By loosening the bolt, the overlapping part of the first support rod 201 and the second support rod 202 can be adjusted. The more overlapping parts there are, the lower the height of the first support rod 201 and the second support rod 202 will be. Conversely, the less overlapping parts there are, the higher the height of the lifting rod 20 will be, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the vertical height of the lifting rod 20.

[0036] The second support rod 202 has a through first mounting hole 221. After the extension rod 302 passes through the first mounting hole 221, it is fixed to the top of the second support rod 202 from the side using a second bolt.

[0037] In the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the first layer plate 301, loosen the second bolt, rotate the tilt angle of the first layer plate 301 by itself, and then tighten the second bolt again, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the tilt angle of the first layer plate 301.

[0038] In other embodiments, the shelf 30 further includes a first latch 311, a second latch 312, and a light-shielding plate 313. The bottom end of the first shelf 301 has two parallel first latches 311, which are used to accommodate the light-shielding plate 313. The second latch 312 is located below the end of the first shelf 301 and is detachably and fixedly connected to the light-shielding plate 313.

[0039] In the above technical solution, when the light shield 313 is not in use, it is hidden in the first slot 311 below the first layer plate 301. When in use, the light shield 313 is inserted into the second slot 312 to block the view and has the function of a privacy shield, protecting the patient's privacy and preventing the patient from being disturbed or disturbing others when using it.

[0040] In other embodiments, the light-shielding plate 313 is 50-60cm high, which blocks light without affecting nearby patients or their families.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the light-shielding plate 313 further includes a locking block 313-1, which is fixed at a position corresponding to the second locking slot 312. The locking block 313-1 and the second locking slot 312 cooperate with or separate from each other.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the second bayonet 312 and the card block 313-1 work together, which makes installation convenient and easier to adjust.

[0043] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the second bayonet 312 is an incomplete circle, which has its own structural constraints, and the light shield 313 directly limits its position when it is engaged.

[0044] In some embodiments, the shelf 30 further includes a third latch 303 and a corresponding sealing strip 304. The third latch 303 is located on the top surface of the first shelf 301. When not in use, the sealing strip 304 seals the third latch 303. When placing items such as lunch boxes, even if grease falls on the first shelf 301, the surface can be cleaned with a cloth.

[0045] In use, the bracket for placing electronic products is inserted into the third slot 303 to place the items. The bracket mentioned here includes, but is not limited to, a V-shaped bracket, as long as it can hold electronic products or other products.

[0046] In some embodiments, the shelf 30 is made of aluminum alloy or high-strength plastic material, which is lightweight but sturdy, and the surface is easy to clean and disinfect.

[0047] In other embodiments, the shelf 30 and the fixing claw 10 are supported by resin or other composite materials, as long as the materials are lightweight, strong, and easy to clean and disinfect.

[0048] In other embodiments, a second receiving cavity 314 is formed on the first layer plate 301 between two adjacent first slots 311. The second receiving cavity 314 is used to receive power sources, including but not limited to power banks, portable chargers, etc., which can charge electronic products placed on the shelf 30. The second receiving cavity 314 includes but is not limited to drawers, as long as it can accommodate power sources.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
