[0017] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0018] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a protective device for elderly care, including a base 1. The base 1 includes a frame-shaped base plate frame 11 composed of multiple sets of plates. Locking rollers 13 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom end of the base plate frame 11. In this application, the locking rollers 13 are prior art and can be adopted from Chinese Patent Application No. 201821860058.3. The locking rollers 13 can lock and fix the device when there is no need to move the device. A horizontal plate 12 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the base plate frame 11. A pneumatic rod 14 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the horizontal plate 12. In this application, the pneumatic rod 14 is prior art and can be adopted from Chinese Patent Application No. 202420851221.9. At the same time, two sets of telescopic shafts 15 are installed at the upper end of the base plate frame 11. The two sets of telescopic shafts 15 are located on both sides of the pneumatic rod 14. A fixing plate 16 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the two sets of telescopic shafts 15 and the pneumatic rod 14. Therefore, the height of the fixing plate 16 can be adjusted by the pneumatic rod 14, and the telescopic shafts 15 on both sides will also make the lifting and lowering of the fixing plate 16 more stable.
[0019] Meanwhile, three sets of support columns 17 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the fixed plate 16. A top plate 18 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support column 17. A handle 19 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the top plate 18. Therefore, the base 1 can be pushed and moved as a whole to adjust its position through the handle 19. Furthermore, two sets of guardrails are respectively installed on two sets of support columns 17 located on the outer side. The two sets of guardrails are the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 3. In this application, the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 3 are connected to the support columns 17 in the same way. For ease of understanding, the following description takes the first guardrail 2 as an example. Specifically: like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first guardrail 2 is made of multiple sets of posts welded into a frame shape. A connecting post 26 is fixedly installed on the side of the first guardrail 2 near the support post 17. A rotating post 22 is fixedly installed on the other end of the connecting post 26. At the same time, a connecting sleeve 21 is fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the support post 17. The connecting sleeve 21 has a protruding end and is set towards the first guardrail 2. The rotating post 22 is rotatably connected between the connecting sleeves 21. Therefore, manually pushing the first guardrail 2 can make it rotate between the connecting sleeves 21 through the rotating post 22. To prevent the first guardrail 2 from swaying freely, a second magnet 25 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the support column 17, which is far apart from each other. At the same time, a baffle 23 is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating column 22 away from the support column 17. The baffle 23 and the second magnet 25 are at the same height, and a first magnet 24 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the baffle 23. The first magnet 24 and the second magnet 25 correspond to each other and generate an attraction between them. It can be understood that when the first guardrail 2 rotates outward and is in a horizontal state with the support column 17, the first magnet 24 and the second magnet 25 will attract each other together. Therefore, the first guardrail 2 is prevented from swaying freely and is limited so that it does not rotate outward more than 90 degrees.
[0020] Therefore, when it is necessary to protect the elderly, the caregiver can open the first protective railing 2 and the second protective railing 3 to be horizontal with the support column 17, and the first magnet 24 and the second magnet 25 will be attracted to each other. The height can be adjusted to a suitable height by the air pressure rod 14 to form a protective railing. Then, the base 1 can be pushed to the bedside by the handle 19 and the locking roller 13 can be locked and fixed to protect the elderly. When the elderly get up at night, they can simply turn the first protective railing 2 or the second protective railing 3 inward to easily adjust the protective device and make it easier for the elderly to get out of bed.
[0021] Example 2: Some elderly people also need separate safety devices when using the toilet and taking a bath. However, some existing safety devices have limited functionality, resulting in too many devices in the user's home, taking up space, and being inconvenient to use. To solve the above problems, specifically: like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a first backing plate 4 and a second backing plate 5 are respectively provided on the side of the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 3 away from the rotating post 22. The first backing plate 4 is installed on the outside of the first guardrail 2, and the second backing plate 5 is installed on the outside of the second guardrail 3. In this application, the connection method and engagement method between the first backing plate 4 and the first guardrail 2 and between the second backing plate 5 and the second guardrail 3 are the same. For ease of understanding, the following description takes the first backing plate 4 and the first guardrail 2 as an example. Specifically: Two sets of blades 42 are fixed at the lower end of the first guardrail 2 on the side away from the rotating post 22. A hinge shaft 41 is fixedly installed at the end of the first back plate 4 near the first guardrail 2. The hinge shaft 41 is rotatably connected between the blades 42, so the first back plate 4 can rotate and can be adjusted to be horizontal with the first guardrail 2. To fix the first back panel 4 to the first guardrail 2, a first buckle 45 is fixedly installed on the guardrail 2 near the first back panel 4. At the same time, a first connecting rod 43 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the first back panel 4 near the first guardrail 2. The first connecting rod 43 and the first buckle 45 are at the same height. A first locking plate 44 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 43. The other end of the first locking plate 44 has a first locking groove 46. The first locking groove 46 cooperates with the first buckle 45. Therefore, when the first back panel 4 and the first guardrail 2 are horizontal, the first locking plate 44 can be rotated to lock onto the first buckle 45 through the first locking groove 46, thereby locking and fixing them to prevent them from shaking.
[0022] Meanwhile, support rods (not shown) are fixedly installed on the inner sides of the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 3. A seat cushion 6 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support rod. An arc groove is opened at the opposite end of the seat cushion 6. A guard plate 7 is fixedly installed on the upper rail of the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 3. In this application, the seat cushion 6 and the guard plate 7 are made of rubber to improve the comfort of the user.
[0023] In order to assemble the first back panel 4 and the second back panel 5, a second connecting rod 47 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the first back panel 4 away from the first guardrail 2. A second locking plate 48 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 47. A second locking groove 49 is opened at the other end of the second locking plate 48. At the same time, a second buckle 51 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the second back panel 5 away from the second guardrail 3. The second buckle 51 and the second connecting rod 47 are at the same height, and the second locking groove 49 and the second buckle 51 correspond to each other.
[0024] In summary: When an elderly person needs to use the toilet or take a bath, the caregiver should first rotate the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 3 inwards, and assist the elderly person to pass their legs through the support post 17 and sit on the cushion 6. The elderly person should then hold onto the top plate 18. Next, the first locking plate 44 should be disengaged from the first buckle 45, and the first backrest plate 4 and the second backrest plate 5 should be rotated closer together until they are level. Finally, the second connecting rod 47 should be secured to the second buckle 51 through the second slot 49. Specifically... Figure 2 As shown, the first backrest plate 4 and the second backrest plate 5 are fixed to support the elderly person's back and prevent them from falling backward. Then, the locking roller 13 is unlocked, and the base 1 and the elderly person are moved together by the handle 19, which makes it convenient to go to the toilet or take a bath, improves the functionality of the protective device, saves space, and is easy to use.
