[0002] In emergency medical scenarios, ambulances play a crucial role in rapidly transporting patients and providing on-site treatment. Stretchers, as the core transport and treatment vehicle in ambulances, are directly affected by their operating environment, impacting patient treatment outcomes and the convenience of medical procedures. However, existing ambulance stretchers have significant shortcomings when operating outdoors in rainy weather: During rainy weather, the stretcher and patient are completely exposed to water, which can worsen the patient's condition. Precision medical instruments used in emergency care (such as ECG monitors and infusion pumps) are also vulnerable to water damage due to a lack of protection, potentially leading to instrument malfunctions, delayed treatment, and missed opportunities. Simultaneously, mosquito bites in outdoor emergency scenarios can cause additional discomfort to patients and interfere with treatment procedures, yet there are no specific protective measures. Traditional protective solutions are either lacking or have complex structures that are difficult to store, hindering flexible use in efficient and compact emergency scenarios. They not only occupy space, affecting the ambulance's internal layout and operation, but also make it difficult to quickly deploy or retract, reducing the speed of emergency response.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 A foldable and retractable stretcher lathe canopy includes two folding main frames 1 and two connecting shafts 11. The two folding main frames 1 are rotatably connected by the two connecting shafts 11, and a transparent rain cover 2 is installed between the two folding main frames 1.

[0021] Among them, several inner support frames 12 are provided on the two connecting shafts 11, and the transparent rain cover 2 is installed on the inner side of the inner support frame 12.

[0022] It should be noted that the width of the several inner support frames 12 described in this embodiment decreases sequentially on both sides, which facilitates subsequent folding and storage.

[0023] The folding main frame 1 and the inner support frame 12 support the transparent rain cover 2. The transparent rain cover 2 covers the inside of the folding main frame 1 and the inner support frame 12, so that the transparent rain cover 2 achieves the shape of a rain canopy. The transparent rain cover 2 is made of transparent rainproof material.

[0024] It should be noted that the transparent rain cover 2 described in this embodiment is connected to the folding main frame 1 and the inner support frame 12 on the surface.

[0025] Several insect-proof and breathable nets 25 are provided on both sides of the transparent rain cover 2. The insect-proof and breathable nets 25 are located between two inner support frames 12. A transparent movable rain cloth 26 is detachably connected to the insect-proof and breathable nets 25.

[0026] Specifically, this invention uses a foldable support structure formed by a folding main frame 1 and a connecting shaft 11. A gradually widening inner support frame 12 supports the transparent rain cover 2, creating a protective space. In use, the folding main frame 1 is unfolded via the connecting shaft 11, and the inner support frame 12 unfolds synchronously with the main frame, simultaneously supporting the transparent rain cover 2 to cover the stretcher and form a closed protective area. For storage, the folding main frame 1 is folded around the connecting shaft 11, and the inner support frame 12, due to its gradually widening design, can be folded layer by layer, causing the transparent rain cover 2 to fold synchronously, significantly reducing the space occupied. This structure achieves rain and insect protection through the transparent rain cover 2 made of transparent rainproof material, and also solves the storage problems of traditional solutions with its foldable design. Specifically, after the transparent rain cover 2 covers the stretcher, it prevents rainwater from directly invading the patient. The rain shelter protects medical equipment from rain, preventing patients from experiencing worsened conditions and equipment from malfunctioning due to water ingress. The enclosed protective space effectively blocks outdoor insects, reducing patient discomfort and interference with treatment. The quick-expanding / folding mechanism ensures the rain shelter doesn't occupy ambulance space when not in use and allows for rapid deployment at emergency sites, solving the problem of slow response times caused by the complex structure and inconvenient operation of traditional protective devices. This comprehensively improves the safety and operational efficiency of outdoor emergency environments. Furthermore, when in use, the transparent movable tarpaulin 26 can be lifted to open the insect-proof and breathable mesh 25, allowing for use in weather with insects but no rain. The insect-proof and breathable mesh 25 on both sides of the transparent rain shelter 2 facilitates air convection, preventing stuffiness inside and providing a more comfortable environment for the patient.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, two clearance notches 121 are opened on both sides of the top of several inner support frames 12. A lower flap 122 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the clearance notch 121. The lower flap 122 is attached to the outside of the transparent rain cover 2 to assist the transparent rain cover 2 in folding inward.

[0028] It should be noted that the clearance notch 121 described in this embodiment is equipped with a torsion spring that drives the lower flap 122 to flip downward.

[0029] Specifically, when storing, the folding main frame 1 folds around the connecting shaft 11, and the inner support frame 12 can be folded up layer by layer due to its gradually changing width design. The torsion spring inside the clearance 121 drives the lower flip plate 122 to flip downward. The lower flip plate 122 is attached to the outside of the transparent rain cover 2 to assist it in folding inward, which drives the transparent rain cover 2 to fold compactly at the same time, greatly reducing the space occupied.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, both sides of the two folding main frames 1 are equipped with connecting clips 13 for quick engagement with the stretcher bed; the top of the connecting clips 13 is equipped with a magnet 14 for stable adsorption when the two folding main frames 1 are folded and stored.

[0031] It should be noted that the magnetic block 14 on the folding main frame 1 described in this embodiment corresponds to the magnetic block 14 on another one.

[0032] Specifically, the quick-locking design of the connecting clip 13 allows the canopy to be quickly installed on the stretcher at the emergency scene, shortening deployment time and solving the problem of slow emergency response caused by the cumbersome installation of traditional protective devices; the magnetic block 14's adsorption effect keeps the folded canopy in a compact shape, reducing space occupation and avoiding shaking and collision during transportation, solving the problem of traditional solutions being easy to loosen and occupying a lot of space after storage, and comprehensively improving the canopy's ease of use and efficiency in adapting to emergency scenarios.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, an emergency inspection port 21 is provided on one side of the transparent rain cover 2. A folded surface 22 is provided at the bottom edge of the emergency inspection port 21. The folded surface 22 is attached and fixed to the inside of the transparent rain cover 2 by Velcro 23. The bottom side of the folded surface 22 forms an inclined surface that adapts to the transparent rain cover 2. The top edge of the emergency inspection port 21 covers the top edge of the folded surface 22.

[0034] It should be noted that the folded surface 22 described in this embodiment provides rain protection for the emergency inspection port 21.

[0035] Specifically, the canopy achieves a balance between rain protection and medical operations through the emergency inspection port 21 and the folding surface 22. In use, the folding surface 22 is attached and fixed to the inside of the transparent rain cover 2 by Velcro 23. The bottom sloping surface and the top edge of the emergency inspection port 21 cover the design to ensure that rainwater is guided along the sloping surface and does not seep into the inspection port. When medical staff need to contact patients, they can simply tear off the Velcro 23 and unfold the folding surface 22 to operate. After operation, the folding surface can be re-attached to restore the rain protection function. This structure solves the rain protection problem during emergency inspections through the folding surface 22 and enables quick opening and closing through the Velcro 23.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, easy creases 221 are provided on both sides of the folded surface 22, and a U-shaped frame 24 is installed on the outside of the folded surface 22 to support the folded surface 22 to form a plane.

[0037] Specifically, during use, the U-shaped frame 24 supports the folding surface 22 to form a flat surface, ensuring that it fits tightly with the transparent rain cover 2 and maintains rainproof sealing. When storing, the easy crease 221 guides the folding surface 22 to bend inward in a specific direction, and works with the inner support frame 12 and the lower flap 122 to achieve compact folding. This structure solves the problem of support stability of the folding surface 22 through the U-shaped frame 24, and improves the convenience of folding by utilizing the easy crease 221.

[0038] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0039] Working principle: The foldable stretcher canopy consists of two folding main frames 1 and two connecting shafts 11 forming a foldable support structure. Several inner support frames 12 with progressively decreasing widths on the connecting shafts 11 support the transparent rain cover 2 to form a protective space. The transparent rain cover 2 is made of transparent rainproof material and is connected to the folding main frames 1 and the inner support frames 12. When in use, the folding main frames 1 are unfolded, and the inner support frames 12 unfold with the main frames to simultaneously support the transparent rain cover 2, providing a closed protective area for the stretcher, patient, and instruments from rain and insects. When folding away, the folding main frames 1 are folded around the connecting shafts 11, and the inner support frames 12 are gradually folded away due to their gradually changing width design. At the same time, the torsion springs in the notches 121 on both sides of the top of the inner support frames 12 drive the lower flip plate 122 to flip downward. The lower flip plate 122 is attached to the outside of the transparent rain cover 2 to assist it in folding inward, which drives the transparent rain cover 2 to fold compactly at the same time to reduce the space occupied.
