Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a bed. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, nursing beds in clinical use are usually used primarily for basic nursing care (positioning, prevention of bedsores, etc.), and most do not have a hair washing function. Therefore, if a patient needs hair washing when their mobility is limited, it is usually done manually by a nurse or caregiver using external auxiliary tools (such as a mobile hair washing cart or portable hair washing basin).

[0003] However, due to evolving nursing needs, some manufacturers have adopted a concealed design for the washbasin at the head of the bed, based on the bed's structural design. They then remove the head support structure formed by the headboard and raise the washbasin, allowing patients to wash their hair while maintaining their original lying position. However, in practice, this design has the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1) The dismantling of the head support structure requires the assistance of multiple people, making it impossible to quickly dismantle and install the head support structure;

[0005] 2) When the bed is level with the corresponding neck and back areas, the neck is suspended or excessively tilted back when the washbasin provides head support. At this time, the neck is unsupported and the head tilts back, which will compress the cervical spine and may cause discomfort or even injury. At the same time, patients who are bedridden for a long time may have cervical spondylosis, osteoporosis, etc., so there is a greater risk of complications.

[0006] 3) During shampooing, water can easily flow from the neck to the back, which increases the likelihood of water seeping into clothing or sheets. Therefore, it is necessary to interrupt the rinsing process multiple times to dry the neck and back, extending the nursing time. In addition, the bed needs to be rearranged, increasing the nursing burden and reducing the patient's comfort. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a bed structure with a switchable open and closeable shampoo opening to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bed structure with a switchable openable and closed shampoo notch, including a mattress and a bed frame arranged above and below. The bed frame includes a frame body and a sliding frame slidably installed on the frame body. A shampoo notch that is concave from the outside to the inside is opened in the head area of ​​the frame body. The sliding frame is used to slide into or out of the shampoo notch.

[0009] The mattress includes a mattress body laid on the frame body and a replacement mattress body installed on the shifting frame. The mattress body has a matching notch, which is positioned vertically with the shampoo notch.

[0010] With the upper surface of the pad body as the support surface, the pad body is provided with a ramp support portion that extends obliquely downward from the support surface to the matching notch on the side adjacent to the matching notch, and the ramp support portion is a neck support structure.

[0011] The movable frame slides horizontally to switch the opening and closing of the shampoo opening;

[0012] When the movable frame slides outward and slides out of the shampoo opening, the filling pad and the pad body are offset to form an open opening facing the shampoo opening;

[0013] When the movable frame slides inward and into the shampoo opening, the filling pad slides into the matching opening, blocking and closing the shampoo opening.

[0014] This invention enables the switching between closing and opening of the shampoo styling opening. When lying flat, the support pad provides head support. During shampooing, the support pad moves outward with the shifting frame, extending beyond the shampoo styling opening, and the shampoo basin is pushed upward from the side of the opening. The exposed shampoo styling opening provides an area for the shampoo basin to rise.

[0015] This invention, through its sloping support, can reduce the probability of flushing water flowing towards the back.

[0016] More preferably, the width of the ramp support portion matches the width of the matching notch.

[0017] More preferably, the angle between the supporting surface and the upper surface of the slope support is no greater than 30°.

[0018] The comfort angle can be set according to different users, and at this angle, it can provide a certain neck support effect, increasing the comfort of washing hair and further improving the safety of washing hair.

[0019] More preferably, the angle between the supporting surface and the upper surface of the slope support is not greater than 30° and not less than 10°.

[0020] It not only provides effective support, but also reduces the probability of the flushing water accidentally flowing towards the back.

[0021] More preferably, the upper surface of the pad body is flush with the upper surface of the replacement pad body.

[0022] Avoid creating a drop in the support surface when lying flat, as this will prevent the desired lying-flat care effect from being achieved.

[0023] More preferably, the frame body is provided with a base rail;

[0024] The shifting frame is equipped with a shifting module that slides with the base rail.

[0025] Based on the relative motion between the base rail and the shifting module, the shifting frame moves in and out of the opening to achieve shifting.

[0026] More preferably, there are two base rails, which are symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the shampoo notch;

[0027] The shifting module corresponds one-to-one with the base rail and forms two telescopic guide rails.

[0028] This movement is very smooth and safe, and it will not cause the track to be exposed.

[0029] More preferably, the outer end of the transfer frame is provided with a handle.

[0030] This causes the shifting frame to shift relative to the inlet and outlet openings.

[0031] More preferably, a shampoo basin is installed on the frame body, and the shampoo basin is directly opposite the shampoo opening;

[0032] The frame body is equipped with a lifting drive mechanism that drives the shampoo basin to rise and fall. The lifting drive mechanism drives the shampoo basin to fall and hide it under the supplementary pad, or drives the shampoo basin to rise so that the shampoo basin can support the head.

[0033] More preferably, the shampoo basin has a clearance notch on the side adjacent to the ramp support for avoiding the neck;

[0034] Furthermore, a head support is provided on the side of the shampoo basin adjacent to the slope support for supporting the head, and the clearance notch is arranged vertically adjacent to the head support.

[0035] More preferably, when the shampoo basin rises to support the head, the height of the head support portion is lower than the height of the support surface.

[0036] It not only reduces the probability of water flowing towards the back during rinsing, but also provides support that conforms to the body's comfort curve, improving the comfort of washing your hair.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0038] This invention utilizes a movable frame that slides horizontally to allow the replacement pad for head support to be removed, providing exposed space for the shampoo opening.

[0039] During shampooing, the user's head is lifted and moved or positioned to the pad body on both sides of the matching opening to form auxiliary support. Then, the supplementary pad body is pushed out to form an opening. Next, the washbasin and the ramp support work together to support the user's head and neck. Finally, the shampooing care is completed in a lying position. Therefore, this utility model, on the one hand, is based on the complementarity or offset between the supplementary pad body and the pad body to complete the switching between the ordinary bed position and the shampooing bed position, which not only reduces the difficulty of care, but also greatly improves the efficiency and safety of care.

[0040] On the other hand, the ramp support helps to support the user's neck, which not only reduces the probability of the rinsing water flowing to the back, but also the support formed meets the human body's comfort curve, improving the comfort of washing hair. Attached Figure Description

[0052] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] See Figures 1 to 5Specific Embodiment 1: A bed structure with a switchable shampoo notch includes a mattress 2 and a bed frame 1 arranged vertically. The bed frame 1 includes a frame body 10 and a sliding frame 11 slidably mounted on the frame body 10. The head area of ​​the frame body 10 has a shampoo notch that is concave from the outside to the inside. The sliding frame 11 is used to slide into or out of the shampoo notch. The mattress 2 includes a pad body 20 laid on the frame body 10 and a supplementary pad body 21 mounted on the sliding frame 11. The pad body 20 has a matching notch, which is arranged vertically with the shampoo notch. The pad body 20 is positioned with its upper surface as the support surface. A sloping support portion 20a, extending downwards from the support surface to the matching notch, is provided on the side of the pad body 20 adjacent to the matching notch. The sloping support portion 20a serves as a neck support structure. The moving frame slides horizontally, switching the opening and closing of the shampoo notch. When the moving frame slides outwards, exiting the shampoo notch, the supplementary pad 21 is offset from the pad body 20, forming an open opening directly opposite the shampoo notch. When the moving frame slides inwards, entering the shampoo notch, the supplementary pad 21 slides into the matching notch, blocking and closing the shampoo notch. This invention achieves the switching of blocking and closing, as well as opening and closing, of the shampoo notch. When lying flat, the supplementary pad 21 provides head support. When used for shampooing, the supplementary pad 21 moves outwards with the moving frame 11, exiting the shampoo notch, and the shampoo basin is pushed upwards from the side of the shampoo notch. The exposure of the shampoo notch provides an area for the shampoo basin to rise. This invention, through the inclined support part 20a, can reduce the probability of flushing water flowing to the back.

[0054] The width of the ramp support 20a matches the width of the matching notch.

[0055] The angle between the support surface and the upper surface of the ramp support 20a is no greater than 30°. This allows for setting a comfortable angle for different users, and during use, this angle provides adequate neck support, increasing comfort during shampooing and further improving safety. The angle between the support surface and the upper surface of the ramp support 20a is no greater than 30° and no less than 10°. This not only provides effective support but also reduces the probability of water accidentally flowing onto the back during rinsing. Figure 4 In the middle, the angle between the support surface and the upper surface of the slope support part 20a is 27°.

[0056] The upper surface of the pad body 20 is flush with the upper surface of the supplementary pad body 21. This avoids a drop in the support surface when lying flat, which would prevent the desired lying-flat care effect from being achieved.

[0057] The frame body 10 is equipped with a base rail 4; the shifting frame 11 is equipped with a shifting module 5 that slides with the base rail 4. Based on the relative movement of the base rail 4 and the shifting module 5, the shifting frame 11 moves in and out of the opening to achieve displacement. There are two base rails 4, symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the shampoo opening; the shifting module 5 corresponds one-to-one with the base rail 4 and forms two telescopic guide rails. This movement is very smooth and safe, and will not cause the rails to be exposed.

[0058] A handle 6 is provided at the outer end of the shifting frame 11, so that the shifting frame 11 can be shifted relative to the inlet / outlet opening.

[0059] A shampoo basin 3 is mounted on the frame body 10, directly opposite the shampoo opening. A lifting drive mechanism is installed on the frame body 10 to drive the shampoo basin 3 up and down. This mechanism either lowers the shampoo basin 3 to be concealed under the support pad 21, or raises it to support the head. A clearance notch 30 for the neck is provided on the side of the shampoo basin adjacent to the slope support 20a; and a head support 31 for supporting the head is provided on the same side. The clearance notch 30 and the head support 31 are vertically adjacent. When the shampoo basin rises to support the head, the head support 31 is positioned lower than the support surface. This not only reduces the probability of water flowing towards the back, but also creates a support that conforms to the human body's comfort curve, improving the comfort of shampooing. The head support 31 includes an arched bottom support 310 that arches inward from both sides of the clearance notch 30, and a support panel 311 formed on the arched bottom support 310, wherein the top surface of the support panel 311 constitutes the head support surface. In other words, the head support is positioned close to the clearance notch to accommodate neck and head support of different lengths, thus not limited by user experience (suitable for adults and children). The lifting drive mechanism can be a scissor lift mechanism.

[0060] The implementation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0061] Pulling the handle 6 outwards to move the shift frame 11 causes the shift frame 11 to disengage from the shampoo opening of the frame body 10. At this time, the replacement pad 21 and the pad body 20 are offset to form an open opening. The wash basin 3 is pushed out from the open opening, and the wash basin 3 and the ramp support 20a cooperate to support the user's head and neck. The head support surface of the wash basin 3 is located below the support surface of the pad body. The head is supported on the support panel 311, and the neck is attached to the ramp support 20a. Therefore, shampooing is performed in a lying position.

[0062] In summary, the bed structure of this invention allows the user's head to be lifted and moved, or moved to the pad body on both sides of the matching notch to form auxiliary support. Then, the supplementary pad body is pushed out of the matching notch to form an open opening. Next, the washbasin is raised until the washbasin and the ramp support cooperate to support the user's head and neck. Finally, the hair washing care is completed in a supine position. Therefore, this invention, on the one hand, is based on the complementarity or offset between the supplementary pad body and the pad body, and on the other hand, the washbasin is raised and lowered to complete the switching between the ordinary bed position and the hair washing bed position. This not only reduces the difficulty of care, but also greatly improves the efficiency and safety of care.

[0063] On the other hand, the washbasin and the ramp support work together to support the user's head and neck, which not only reduces the probability of the rinsing water flowing to the back, but also the support formed meets the human body's comfort curve, improving the comfort of washing hair. In addition, it can effectively reduce the risk of choking and cervical spine compression, while also enhancing the overall aesthetics of the bed.

[0064] Thirdly, the width of the ramp support is equal to the width of the matching notch, and the angle between the support surface of the ramp support and the support surface of the pad body can form a certain neck support effect, increasing the comfort of washing hair. It not only forms effective support, but also reduces the probability of the rinsing water flow accidentally flowing to the back.

[0065] Fourthly, based on the relative movement of the base rail and the shifting module, the shifting frame moves in and out of the opening to form a shift. At the same time, the shifting module corresponds one-to-one with the base rail and forms two telescopic guide rails. This makes the movement very smooth and safe, and will not cause the rails to be exposed. In addition, for ease of operation, a handle can be provided at the outer end of the shifting frame, or other methods can be used to make the shifting frame move relative to the in and out opening.

[0066] Fifthly, when the supplementary pad and the pad body complement each other, the top surfaces of the supplementary pad and the pad body are set flush to avoid creating a drop in the support surface when lying flat, thus failing to achieve the desired lying-flat care effect.

[0067] Sixthly, when the washbasin and the ramp support work together to support the user's head and neck, the head support surface is located below the back support surface. This way, when washing hair, the head support surface is slightly lower than the back support surface, which is more conducive to rinsing and further reduces the probability of water flowing towards the back. It is very suitable for hair washing and care operations in hospitals. Of course, it can also be combined with the angle adjustment of the bed to meet the needs of lying down to wash hair with the head up or the feet down.

[0068] The seventh aspect is the creation of a neck-avoiding notch in the washbasin, which allows for more effective neck support and ensures that the resulting support curve is within a relatively comfortable range for the user.

[0069] The eighth aspect is that the head support is positioned close to the clearance notch to provide collaborative support for necks and heads of different lengths, meaning it is not limited by the user's experience (it is suitable for both adults and children).

[0070] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
