Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of delivery bed technology, and in particular to a vertical delivery bed. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most women give birth in the supine or bladder stone position. These two delivery methods cause severe labor pain and require frequent use of delivery tools. When a woman gives birth in an upright position, the baby's head is down in the womb, and the force of gravity can reduce the mother's labor pain, decrease the likelihood of cesarean section and forceps delivery, effectively allow the mother to push and breathe, reduce pain, facilitate delivery, and reduce dystocia. Therefore, this invention provides an upright delivery bed to meet these needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a vertical delivery bed that, through the installation of auxiliary mechanisms, allows patients to deliver not only in the lithotomy position but also in kneeling and standing positions. The auxiliary mechanisms are not only simple in structure and easy to manufacture, but also provide more stable support for patients in kneeling and standing positions, effectively considering both patient comfort and physical stability. This design can address the current problem of severe labor pains during childbirth, requiring frequent use of delivery tools.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A vertical delivery bed includes a base, a first support plate fixedly connected to the top of the base, a second support plate rotatably connected to one end of the first support plate, and leg support frames symmetrically installed on both sides of the first support plate; and an auxiliary mechanism for assisting the mother in giving birth in a standing position, the auxiliary mechanism being connected to the base and the first support plate respectively.

[0006] Optionally, the auxiliary mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the base, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, two knee support plates fixedly connected to one end of the connecting frame, and a hip support plate fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting frame. The auxiliary mechanism also includes an arc-shaped support rod rotatably connected to the first support plate.

[0007] Optionally, a first mounting part is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, and the mounting plate and the base are fixed together by the first mounting part and screws. The base has a plurality of threaded holes arranged in a linear pattern.

[0008] Optionally, a second mounting part is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate, and the mounting plate and the connecting frame are fixed together by the second mounting part and bolts. The second mounting part and the connecting frame are both provided with threaded holes with corresponding positions.

[0009] Optionally, the mounting plate, the first mounting part, and the second mounting part are integrally formed structures.

[0010] Optionally, the knee support plate has an elliptical profile, and the top of the knee support plate has an inwardly recessed groove structure.

[0011] Optionally, a lumbar support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the hip support plate, and side support plates are symmetrically installed on both sides of the hip support plate. The hip support plate has a stepped structure.

[0012] Optionally, the hip support plate, the lumbar support plate, and the side support plate are integrally formed structures.

[0013] Optionally, the arc-shaped support rod has a circular arc profile, and an inner support rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped support rod, the inner support rod having a corrugated profile.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the above scheme, by setting up an auxiliary mechanism, the patient can not only give birth in the lithotomy position, but also in the kneeling and standing positions. The auxiliary mechanism is not only simple in structure and easy to manufacture, but also provides a more stable support effect for the patient according to the patient's kneeling and standing postures, which truly takes into account the patient's comfort and physical stability.

[0016] By incorporating a hip support plate, a lumbar support plate, and side support plates within the assistive device, when the patient delivers in a standing position, her legs are placed on top of the knee support plate, and her buttocks are seated on top of the hip support plate. Because the hip support plate has a stepped structure, it functions like a stool, providing ample support for the patient's hips, making her more comfortable and less strenuous. The lumbar support plate supports the patient's lower back, improving stability. The side support plates limit movement on both sides of the buttocks, further enhancing stability.

[0017] By incorporating an arc-shaped support rod within the auxiliary mechanism, medical personnel can selectively rotate the rod to allow the patient's hands to rest on it, depending on whether the patient is kneeling or standing during childbirth. This enhances the patient's stability by providing support for their hands. Furthermore, the corrugated shape of the inner support rod increases the position of the patient's hands on its surface, allowing for multi-angle support from both the arc-shaped and inner support rods, thus improving the device's practicality.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a vertical delivery bed, including a base 1. A first support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a second support plate 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the first support plate 2. Leg support frames 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the first support plate 2. The first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 can rotate freely. The driving and adjustment methods for the rotation between the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 in this technical solution are disclosed as prior art and are very mature in the prior art, so they will not be described in detail here. The leg support frame 4 is used to support the patient's legs. When the patient lies on the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 in the lithotomy position, the patient's legs can be placed on the leg support frame 4. The lithotomy position is currently the most common delivery position. Therefore, in this technical solution, how the leg support frame 4 is adjusted to support the patient's legs is disclosed as prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the auxiliary mechanism is used to assist the mother in giving birth in a standing position. The auxiliary mechanism is connected to the base 1 and the first support plate 2. The auxiliary mechanism includes a mounting plate 7 fixedly connected to the base 1. A first mounting part 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 7. The mounting plate 7 and the base 1 are fixed together by the first mounting part 8 and screws. The base 1 has several threaded holes arranged linearly. A connecting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 7. A second mounting part 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 7. The mounting plate 7 and the connecting frame 10 are fixed together by the second mounting part 9 and bolts. The second mounting part 9 and the connecting frame 10 are both provided with corresponding threaded holes. The mounting plate 7, the first mounting part 8 and the second mounting part 9 are integrally formed structures. The mounting plate 7 is used to fix the connecting frame 10 to the base 1, mainly by bolt fixing. Specifically, the mounting plate 7 is fixed to the base 1 through the first mounting part 8. Since the base 1 has several threaded holes arranged in a linear pattern, medical personnel can selectively fix the first mounting part 8 into the threaded holes at different heights according to their needs, thereby adjusting the installation height of the mounting plate 7 to suit different patients.

[0034] Furthermore, since the mounting plate 7, the first mounting part 8, and the second mounting part 9 are integrally formed, they can be integrally formed by bending and stamping in the actual production process. This structural design makes the overall structure of the mounting plate 7 easier to manufacture and improves the practicality of this application.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, one end of the connecting frame 10 is fixedly connected to two knee support plates 11. The knee support plates 11 have an elliptical outline, and the top of the knee support plates 11 is an inwardly recessed groove structure. The knee support plates 11 are made of rubber. Not only are the knee support plates 11 elliptical structures, but both knee support plates 11 are also inclined outward. This setting conforms to the body posture of the patient in a kneeling position. In the kneeling position, it is more comfortable and less strenuous for the body to tilt the legs outward. When the patient gives birth in a kneeling position, the patient's knees are on the top of the knee support plates 11. Since the top of the knee support plates 11 is a recessed groove structure, the patient has sufficient stability when kneeling on the knee support plates 11. Since the knee support plates 11 are made of rubber, they can provide sufficient comfort for the patient.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a hip support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting frame 10. A lumbar support plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the hip support plate 12. Side support plates 14 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the hip support plate 12. The hip support plate 12 has a stepped structure. The hip support plate 12, lumbar support plate 13, and side support plates 14 are integrally formed. When the patient gives birth in a standing position, her legs are open and placed on the top of the knee support plate 11, and her buttocks are sitting on the top of the hip support plate 12. Because the hip support plate 12 has a stepped structure, when the patient's buttocks are placed on the top of the hip support plate 12, the hip support plate 12 is like a stool, which can provide sufficient support for the patient's buttocks, making the patient more comfortable and less strenuous. In addition, a lumbar support plate 13 is also installed on the hip support plate 12. The lumbar support plate 13 can support the patient's lower back, thereby improving the stability of the patient's body. The side support plates 14 can limit the movement of the patient's buttocks on both sides, further improving the stability of the patient's body.

[0037] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the auxiliary mechanism also includes an arc-shaped support rod 5 rotatably connected to the first support plate 2. The arc-shaped support rod 5 has a circular arc profile, and an inner support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped support rod 5. The inner support rod 6 has a corrugated profile. The arc-shaped support rod 5 can freely rotate on the first support plate 2. Medical personnel can selectively rotate the arc-shaped support rod 5 to allow the patient's hands to support on the arc-shaped support rod 5 according to the patient's kneeling or standing posture during childbirth. This improves the stability of the patient's body by utilizing the support effect of the arc-shaped support rod 5 on the patient's hands. In addition, an inner support rod 6 is also provided inside the arc-shaped support rod 5. Since the inner support rod 6 has a corrugated profile, this setting can improve the support position of the patient's hands on the surface of the inner support rod 6, allowing the patient to support their hands on the arc-shaped support rod 5 and the inner support rod 6 from multiple angles, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0038] Optionally, in this technical solution, the limiting method between the arc-shaped support rod 5 and the first support plate 2 can be bolt fixing or other fixing methods. The fixing methods of the two are disclosed as prior art and are not essential technical features, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0040] When giving birth in the lithotomy position, the patient lies flat on the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3. The medical staff adjusts the relative angle between the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 according to the patient's needs, and then places the patient's legs on the top of the leg support frame 4 to achieve the lithotomy position.

[0041] When giving birth in a kneeling position, the patient spreads her legs apart and places her knees on top of the knee support plate 11. Because the knee support plate 11 is tilted outward, the patient's legs will tilt outward when kneeling on the knee support plate 11. This setting is more in line with the human body shape and can improve the patient's comfort. After the patient is kneeling, the medical staff rotates the arc-shaped support rod 5 so that the patient's hands can support on the arc-shaped support rod 5 or the inner support rod 6 to improve the stability of the patient's body.

[0042] When giving birth in a standing position, the patient's legs are spread open and placed on top of the knee support plate 11, and her buttocks are placed on top of the buttock support plate 12. Because the buttock support plate 12 has a stepped structure, when the patient's buttocks are placed on top of the buttock support plate 12, the buttock support plate 12 is similar to a stool, which can provide sufficient support for the patient's buttocks, making the patient more comfortable and less strenuous. The lumbar support plate 13 can support the patient's lumbar and back area, thereby improving the patient's body stability. The side support plate 14 can limit the movement of the patient's buttocks on both sides, further improving the patient's body stability. After the patient's position is set, the medical staff rotates the arc-shaped support rod 5, allowing the patient's hands to support on the arc-shaped support rod 5 or the inner support rod 6, further improving the patient's body stability.

[0043] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present 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 the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
