Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intensive care unit (ICU) patient transport technology, specifically a dedicated transport device for ICU patients. Background Technology

[0002] Critical care refers to providing 24-hour continuous comprehensive monitoring and professional care for patients with critical conditions, organ failure, or unstable vital signs. The goal is to stabilize the patient's condition and promote recovery through multidisciplinary collaboration. Critically ill patients require specialized transport devices during transport.

[0003] However, existing transport devices specifically designed for intensive care unit patients have the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) The existing patient transport device for the intensive care unit has a weak transfer function. The existing device requires the patient to be transferred to the monitoring bed or operating bed. The existing device relies too much on human power to move the patient between beds. When the patient is in a coma or other state, the body is unconscious and it is difficult to move the patient. This may cause the patient to fall and get injured.

[0005] (2) The existing patient transport device for the intensive care unit has weak protective function. The existing device cannot easily switch between protection and deprotection. When the patient gets out of bed, is moved, or needs protection, the device may not operate properly due to poor switching efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dedicated patient transport device for intensive care units to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a special transport device for patients in the intensive care unit, comprising a translation component and a protective component. The translation component consists of a base, a support column, a rotating frame, a rotating plate, a limiting frame, rollers, a fixed bed, a sliding block, and a translation bed. The top two ends of the base are fixedly connected to the support column. A storage slot is provided on one side of the support column. The bottom of the inner wall of the storage slot is rotatably connected to the rotating frame. The top of the inner wall of the rotating frame is rotatably connected to the rotating plate. One end of the rotating plate is fixedly connected to a roller. The two sides of the storage slot are slidably connected to the limiting frame. The top of the support column is fixedly connected to the fixed bed. The inner wall of the fixed bed is slidably connected to the sliding block. One end of the sliding block is fixedly connected to the translation bed.

[0008] The protective assembly consists of a fixed cylinder, an adjusting bolt, a guardrail, and a plug rod, all fixed to the side of the translation bed. The inner wall of the fixed cylinder is threaded with an adjusting bolt, the top of the adjusting bolt is rotatably connected to the guardrail, and the inner wall of the guardrail is engaged with a plug rod.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom edge of the base is provided with a mounting groove, and the inner wall of the mounting groove is fixedly connected with a caster wheel. The device is moved by the caster wheel installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base.

[0010] Preferably, positioning plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the fixed bed, and push handles are fixedly connected to the top of the positioning plates. The push handles at both ends of the fixed bed are installed on the positioning plates, and the push handles make it convenient for medical staff to push the device.

[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the fixed cylinder has a slot, and the inner wall of the slot is engaged with one end of the insertion rod, which needs to be inserted into the device through the slot on the fixed cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the fixed bed is provided with a rectangular groove, the inner wall of the rectangular groove is engaged with one end of the translation bed, and the rectangular groove on the translation bed coincides with that on the fixed bed.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting frame has limiting grooves at both ends, and limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the limiting grooves. The limiting frame and the support column are designed with damping. When the limiting frame is pulled out of the support column, the limiting frame will be blocked by the limiting frame to prevent it from detaching from the support column.

[0014] Compared with this device, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This intensive care unit patient transport device, consisting of a base, support column, rotating frame, rotating plate, limiting frame, rollers, fixed bed, sliding block, and translation bed, allows medical staff to move a patient from the device to a designated bed. First, the limiting frame on the support column unfolds, opening the rotating frame within the support column and creating an angle difference. This unfolds the rotating plate within the rotating frame (both are at an angle and rest against the limiting frame, preventing automatic displacement). Then, the medical staff pulls the translation bed on the fixed bed (a damping connection prevents automatic displacement), allowing the bottom of the translation bed to move horizontally along the rollers on the rotating plate, bringing the patient closer to the designated bed (the rollers at one end of the translation bed provide support, with most of the translation bed suspended above the bed). With minimal manual effort, the patient can be moved to the designated bed, facilitating easy bed transfers for medical staff.

[0016] 2. This intensive care unit patient transport device, through the configuration of a translation bed, a fixed cylinder, an adjusting bolt, a protective railing, and a plug, allows medical staff to remove the plug from the fixed cylinder during use. They can then directly rotate the adjusting bolt, moving it up and down along the fixed cylinder, which in turn moves the top protective railing up and down. The plug can then be reinserted into the fixed cylinder, with one end of the plug engaging with either the protective railing or the adjusting bolt (when the adjusting bolt reaches its highest position, the slot on the adjusting bolt will align perfectly with the plug). This facilitates adjustments to the protective railing's protective function while preventing it from being directly crushed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a special transport device for patients in the intensive care unit, including a translation component 1 and a protective component 2. The translation component 1 consists of a base 101, a support column 102, a rotating frame 103, a rotating plate 104, a limiting frame 105, rollers 106, a fixed bed 107, a sliding block 108, and a translation bed 109. The support column 102 is fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the base 101. A storage groove is opened on one side of the support column 102, and the rotating frame 106 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner side wall of the storage groove. 03. A rotating plate 104 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the rotating frame 103. A roller 106 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating plate 104. Limiting frames 105 are slidably connected to both sides of the storage slot. A fixed bed 107 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 102. A sliding block 108 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed bed 107. A translation bed 109 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding block 108. The system is connected to the base 101, support column 102, rotating frame 103, rotating plate 104, limiting frame 105, roller 106, and fixed bed 107. The configuration of bed 107, sliding block 108, and translation bed 109 allows medical staff to move a patient from the transfer device to a designated bed when needed. First, they can pull the limiting frame 105 on the support column 102 to unfold it, causing the rotating frame 103 inside the support column 102 to rotate open, creating an angle difference. This allows the rotating plate 104 inside the rotating frame 103 to unfold (at this point, both are at an angle and rest against the limiting frame 105, preventing automatic displacement). Then, the medical staff can pull the fixed bed. The translation bed 109 on 107 (the fixed bed 107 and the translation bed 109 are connected by a damping mechanism to prevent automatic displacement) allows the bottom of the translation bed 109 to move horizontally along the rollers 106 on the rotating plate 104, so that the translation bed 109 can move the patient closer to the hospital bed (the rollers 106 are at one end of the bottom of the translation bed 109 to provide support, and most of the translation bed 109 is suspended above the hospital bed). The patient can pull the hospital bed with minimal human effort. This setting makes it convenient for medical staff to change the patient's hospital bed.

[0024] Protective component 2 consists of a fixed cylinder 201, an adjusting bolt 202, a protective railing 203, and a plug rod 204, all fixed to the side of the translation bed 109. The adjusting bolt 202 is threaded onto the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 201, and the protective railing 203 is rotatably connected to the top of the adjusting bolt 202. The plug rod 204 is snapped into the inner wall of the protective railing 203. Through the arrangement of the translation bed 109, the fixed cylinder 201, the adjusting bolt 202, the protective railing 203, and the plug rod 204, medical personnel can pull out the plug rod 204 from the fixed cylinder 201 during use. Simply rotate the adjusting bolt 202 to move it up and down along the fixed cylinder 201, causing the top protective railing 203 to move up and down. Then, reinsert the insert rod 204 into the fixed cylinder 201. One end of the insert rod 204 will be stuck in the protective railing 203 or the adjusting bolt 202 (when the adjusting bolt 202 moves the protective railing 203 to its highest position, the slot on the adjusting bolt 202 will be aligned with the insert rod 204). This allows medical staff to adjust the protective function of the protective railing 203 while ensuring that it will not be directly crushed.

[0025] The bottom edge of the base 101 is provided with a mounting groove, and the inner wall of the mounting groove is fixedly connected with a caster wheel 3. With the base 101 and the caster wheel 3, the device is moved by the caster wheel 3 installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 101 during use.

[0026] Positioning plates 4 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the fixed bed 107, and push handles 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the positioning plates 4. With the setting of the fixed bed 107, positioning plates 4 and push handles 5, when in use, the push handles 5 at both ends of the fixed bed 107 are installed on the positioning plates 4, and the push handles 5 make it convenient for medical staff to push the device.

[0027] The outer surface of the fixed cylinder 201 is provided with a slot, and the inner wall of the slot is engaged with one end of the insertion rod 204. With the fixed cylinder 201 and the insertion rod 204, the insertion rod 204 needs to be inserted into the device through the slot on the fixed cylinder 201 during use.

[0028] The top of the fixed bed 107 is provided with a rectangular groove, and the inner wall of the rectangular groove is engaged with one end of the translation bed 109. Through the arrangement of the fixed bed 107 and the translation bed 109, the translation bed 109 coincides with the rectangular groove on the fixed bed 107 during use.

[0029] Limiting grooves are provided at both ends of the limiting frame 105, and limiting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the limiting grooves. With the setting of the limiting frame 105 and the limiting blocks 6, the limiting frame 105 and the support column 102 are damped during use. When the limiting frame 105 is pulled out of the support column 102, the limiting frame 105 will be blocked by the limiting frame 105 to prevent it from separating from the support column 102.

[0030] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0031] First step: When it is necessary to move the patient from the transfer device to the designated bed, the medical staff can first pull the limiting frame 105 on the support column 102 to unfold the limiting frame 105, turn the rotating frame 103 inside the support column 102 to open it, so that the rotating frame 103 forms a certain angle difference, unfold the rotating plate 104 inside the rotating frame 103, and the medical staff can pull the translation bed 109 on the fixed bed 107 to move the bottom of the translation bed 109 horizontally along the rollers 106 on the rotating plate 104, so that the translation bed 109 can move the patient closer to the bed. With a small amount of manpower, the patient can pull the bed.

[0032] The second step: Medical staff can pull out the insert rod 204 on the fixed cylinder 201, directly rotate the adjusting bolt 202, and let the adjusting bolt 202 move up and down along the fixed cylinder 201, so that the adjusting bolt 202 drives the top protective railing 203 to move up and down. Then, insert the insert rod 204 back into the fixed cylinder 201. One end of the insert rod 204 will be stuck in the protective railing 203 or the adjusting bolt 202.
