Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of nursing bed technology, and in particular relates to a nursing bed with head washing and care function. Background Technology

[0002] In hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and other medical facilities, there are a large number of patients with limited mobility due to fractures of the hands and feet, neurological diseases, or other reasons. These patients often require prolonged bed rest during treatment to promote physical recovery and wound healing. However, prolonged bed rest makes even routine hygiene activities like washing hair extremely difficult, causing numerous inconveniences and distress for patients.

[0003] For example, patients with fractures of the hands and feet, especially those with upper limb fractures, find it difficult to perform basic hair washing actions such as raising their arms and rubbing their hair due to the inability to move their arms freely. Even with the assistance of family members or medical staff, the patient's limited posture makes it difficult to complete the hair washing process comfortably like a normal person. Improper movements can easily aggravate the patient's pain or cause secondary damage to the wound. Patients with neurological disorders, such as hemiplegic patients, who have lost motor function on one side of their body and cannot voluntarily control their head and limb movements, cannot cooperate with medical staff or family members to adjust their head position during hair washing, making the process difficult. Currently, in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, manual hair washing is still the main method for patients with limited mobility. This method requires the cooperation of medical staff or family members, and the operation is cumbersome and inefficient. Before washing the hair, the patient must be moved to a suitable position, and splashing water may also reach the patient's affected area, which may cause additional pain and risks for the physically weak patient. During the hair washing process, the patient's limited posture makes it difficult to ensure the quality of the hair washing. Although some hair washing devices exist on the market, most are designed for home or beauty salons and are not suitable for the special needs of medical settings. This shows that the existing technology needs further improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a nursing bed with head washing and care functions to solve the problem of difficulty in washing hair for patients who are bedridden for long periods of time in medical settings such as hospitals and rehabilitation centers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A nursing bed with head washing and care function includes a bed frame, a headboard that is movably connected to and can be close to / away from the bed frame, and a washing assembly. The headboard has an embedded groove on the side facing the bed frame. The washing assembly includes a folded cloth and multiple support rods and a water spray pipe arranged therein. One of the support rods at both ends of the folded cloth is connected to the end of the bed frame, and the other is connected to the inner wall of the embedded groove. There is a water tank at the bottom of the headboard. When the headboard is close to the bed frame, the washing assembly is stored in the embedded groove. When the headboard is pulled out, the folded cloth unfolds above the bed frame to form a shampooing chamber for the patient to wash their hair. The water spray pipe is connected to a water source to spray water for rinsing, and the water flows into the water tank for collection.

[0007] With the headboard close to the bed frame, the nursing bed functions like a regular bed. In medical settings, this minimizes the bed's space requirements. For shampooing, the entire bed is first moved away from the wall. The bed has braked casters at the bottom, making movement simple and convenient, requiring minimal manpower and time. The headboard is then pulled away from the bed frame; once pulled to a certain length, the folded cloth automatically unfolds, forming a shampooing chamber above the bed. The patient simply needs to be moved slightly along the bed frame to allow their head to enter the chamber, significantly reducing patient movement and minimizing pain and risks during care, thus improving the patient's experience. The shampooing chamber, enclosed by the folded cloth, effectively prevents water from splashing into the surrounding environment, especially other patients, reducing the spread of bacteria and viruses and lowering the risk of cross-infection. It provides the patient with a relatively independent and comfortable space. Simultaneously, the water tank, located below the headboard and corresponding to the shampooing chamber, accurately collects the water after shampooing, keeping the bed and surrounding environment dry and clean, reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the bed frame includes two horizontal beams arranged parallel to each other on both sides, and the horizontal beams are hollow structures; the head of the bed is provided with two plug-in beams, which are adapted to the horizontal beams and plugged into the horizontal beams. The plug-in beams can move linearly relative to the horizontal beams to adjust the position of the head of the bed closer to or further away from the bed frame.

[0009] In a preferred implementation, a slide rail is provided inside the crossbeam frame, and a slider is provided on the plug-in beam, with the slide rail and the slider being connected in cooperation.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a protective curtain is installed at the entrance of the shampoo chamber. The protective curtain has a notch adapted to the size of a human head, which is positioned above the patient's eyes to prevent water from splashing into the eyes during the shampooing process.

[0011] In a preferred implementation, the protective curtain is a transparent viewing curtain, which allows medical staff to clearly observe the condition inside the shampooing cavity.

[0012] In a preferred implementation, the notch integrates an elastic hairband, which is adjustable according to the head size of different patients to secure the protective curtain.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the folded cloth has an operating opening located on one side of the shampoo chamber, allowing medical personnel to insert their hands into the shampoo chamber through the opening to perform shampooing and care procedures on the patient.

[0014] In a preferred implementation, several support columns are evenly distributed on the water tank, and medical silicone sleeves are fitted on the support columns. After the patient's head is inserted into the shampoo cavity, the head naturally rests against the medical silicone sleeves.

[0015] In the preferred implementation, the water spray pipe is provided with water outlet holes evenly.

[0016] In a preferred implementation, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the water tank. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the first feature being "upper" or "lower" than the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral unit; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. However, specifying a direct connection indicates that the two main bodies at the connection point are not connected by an intermediate structure, but are simply connected to form a whole through a connecting structure. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] In this utility model, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0028] The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The specific solution adopted is as follows:

[0030] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a nursing bed with head washing and care function, including a bed body 1, a headboard 2 that is movably connected to and can be close to / away from the bed body 1, and a washing assembly 3. The headboard 2 has an embedded groove 20 on the side facing the bed body 1. The washing assembly 3 includes a folded cloth 30 and multiple support rods 31 arranged therein and a water spray pipe 32. The support rods 31 at both ends of the folded cloth 30 are connected to the end of the bed body 1 on one side and to the inner wall of the embedded groove 20 on the other side. There is a water tank 22 at the bottom of the headboard 2. When the headboard 2 is close to the bed body 1, the washing assembly 3 is stored in the embedded groove 20. When the headboard 2 is pulled out, the folded cloth 30 unfolds above the bed body 1 to form a shampooing chamber for the patient to wash their hair. The water spray pipe 32 is connected to a water source to spray water for rinsing, and the water flows into the water tank 22 for collection.

[0031] By adopting the head washing and care function of the nursing bed of this application, when the headboard 2 is close to the bed body 1, the nursing bed is in the state of a normal bed. In medical spaces, it can minimize the space occupied by the bed body 1. When washing hair, the entire bed is first moved away from the wall. The nursing bed has casters with brakes at the bottom, making the overall bed moving operation simple and convenient, without consuming a lot of manpower and time. Then, the headboard 2 is pulled away from the bed body 1. When it is pulled to a certain length, the folded cloth 30 automatically unfolds, forming a hair washing cavity above the bed body 1. The patient only needs to be moved slightly along the direction of the bed body 1 to let their head enter the hair washing cavity. This greatly reduces the range and frequency of patient movement, reduces the pain and risks caused to the patient during the nursing process, and improves the patient's nursing experience. The shampoo chamber is enclosed by a folded cloth 30, which effectively prevents water from splashing into the surrounding environment during the shampooing process, especially other patients. This reduces the transmission routes of bacteria and viruses, lowers the risk of cross-infection, and provides patients with a relatively independent and comfortable space. At the same time, the water tank 22 is located below the head of the bed 2 and corresponds to the shampoo chamber, which can accurately collect the water after shampooing, keeping the bed 1 and the surrounding environment dry and clean, and reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bed frame 1 includes two horizontal beams 10 arranged parallel to each other on both sides. The horizontal beams 10 are hollow structures. The headboard 2 is provided with two insert beams 21. The insert beams 21 are adapted to the horizontal beams 10 and are inserted into the horizontal beams 10. The insert beams 21 can move linearly relative to the horizontal beams 10 to adjust the position of the headboard 2 closer to or further away from the bed frame 1. Specifically, a slide rail can be provided in the horizontal beams 10, and a slider can be provided in the insert beams 21. The slide rail and the slider are connected in cooperation. In addition, multiple limiting holes are opened at certain intervals along the length of the horizontal beams 10, and limiting holes are also provided on the insert beams 21. The pins are inserted into the limiting holes of both to achieve limiting.

[0033] To address the issue of water splashing into the eyes when a patient is lying supine during shampooing, a protective curtain 33 is installed at the entrance of the shampooing chamber, with a notch 330 adapted to the size of a human head. When the patient lies supine on the bed 1 for shampooing, their head enters the shampooing chamber through the notch 330, which is positioned above the patient's eyes. During the shampooing process, the water jets from the spray pipe 32 and any splashes are effectively blocked by the protective curtain 33. The protective curtain 33 is made of a waterproof and flexible material, ensuring effective water blocking without causing discomfort to the patient. Furthermore, the protective curtain 33 is a transparent viewing curtain, allowing medical staff to clearly observe the situation inside the shampooing chamber.

[0034] In actual nursing scenarios, patients' body positions vary due to different physical conditions. Besides the common supine position, some patients are prone or lying on their side. The head washing and care component designed in this application has good adaptability, allowing patients in prone or lying positions to use the washing component 3 for head washing. However, for patients in a prone position, the protective curtain 33 installed at the shampoo chamber entrance, which uses a notch 330 to hold above the eyes to prevent water splashing, may not be effective. In this case, to ensure the patient's eye safety and avoid water splashing into the eyes during shampooing and causing discomfort, protective eyewear can be worn.

[0035] Considering the significant differences in head shape among different patients, the notch 330 of the protective curtain 33 is prone to displacement. Therefore, an elastic hairband 331 is integrated into the notch 330 of the protective curtain 33. The integration method can be a sewing process, firmly sewing the elastic hairband 331 to the edge of the notch 330 to ensure a tight connection and prevent it from falling off. Alternatively, other reliable connection methods can be selected according to actual needs, such as using special Velcro to connect the hairband to the edge of the notch 330 for easy disassembly and replacement.

[0036] The elastic hairband 331 boasts excellent elasticity, allowing for flexible adjustment to suit different patient head sizes. To use, simply place the protective curtain 33, which integrates the elastic hairband 331, in the appropriate position and secure the hairband around the patient's forehead. This ensures a close fit to the patient's head, providing a stable hold for the protective curtain 33 and guaranteeing its precise water-blocking function, thus providing a reliable and comfortable shampooing experience.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the folded cloth 30 has an operating opening 300 located on one side of the shampoo chamber. Medical personnel can insert their hands into the shampoo chamber through the notch 330 to perform shampooing and hair care procedures on patients. In practical applications, medical personnel can easily insert their hands into the shampoo chamber using this operating opening 300 to perform shampooing and hair care procedures on patients, such as massaging hair, applying shampoo, or drying the hair with a towel. All these actions can be smoothly completed through the operating opening 300, effectively improving the quality and efficiency of shampooing and hair care.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this application, a plurality of support columns 220 are evenly distributed on the water tank 22, and a medical silicone sleeve 221 is fitted on the support column 220. After the patient's head is inserted into the shampoo cavity, the head naturally rests against the medical silicone sleeve 221.

[0039] In a real-life hair washing and care scenario, considering that the bed 1 is originally covered with a mattress, sheet, and pillow, and the mattress is generally about five centimeters thick and soft, it is necessary to first remove the pillow and then assist the patient to move their body towards the head of the bed 2 so that the patient's head can be smoothly inserted into the shampoo chamber. The height of the bed 1 needs to be slightly higher than the position of the silicone sleeve, but the difference should not be too large. This height difference ensures that the patient's head is in a comfortable position when naturally resting on the medical silicone sleeve 221, and also facilitates the subsequent hair washing operation. After the protective curtain 33 is properly installed and the water source is turned on, water flows into the shampoo chamber. Medical staff can reach into the shampoo chamber through the opening 330 in the protective curtain 33 to perform detailed care on the patient's head. During the hair washing process, medical staff can also gently support the patient's head with their hands, paying particular attention to cleaning the back of the head to ensure that the entire hair washing process is both comfortable and clean.

[0040] In addition, an airbag can be fitted onto the support column 220. Before actual use, the airbag is inflated, and the inflation volume is precisely controlled so that the height of the airbag is higher than or flush with the surface of the bed 1. This design provides a more fitting and comfortable support for the patient's head, effectively distributing head pressure and improving comfort during the shampooing process. After the shampooing treatment is completed, the air in the airbag is released, at which point the headboard 2 can be flexibly adjusted or stored, saving space and facilitating subsequent operations.

[0041] It is important to note that the shampooing device designed in this application is primarily intended for patients with some degree of independent mobility or who can adjust their position appropriately with the assistance of medical personnel. For patients who have completely lost their ability to move independently, have extremely special physical conditions, and are unable to make any positional changes, the use of the shampooing device described in this application for head cleaning and care is not recommended, considering factors such as safety and operational feasibility.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the water spray pipe 32 is evenly provided with water outlets, a portion of which is integrated into the folded cloth 30. This portion of the water spray pipe 32 integrated into the folded cloth 30 only needs to have water outlets to ensure normal water flow during hair washing. The folded cloth 30 has a clearance area corresponding to the water outlet positions to avoid obstructing water flow. The other end of the water spray pipe 32 can be detachably connected to a water pump. The water pump is placed in a portable water bucket. When not washing hair, the water pump and bucket can be placed in a suitable location in the ward without taking up too much space or interfering with the patient's daily activities. Simultaneously, the other end of the water spray pipe 32 can be easily stored, maintaining the tidiness and order of the ward. When it is necessary to wash the patient's hair, connect the water pipe and water pump, power on the water pump, and the water pumping function will be activated. Water from the bucket will be smoothly drawn into the water spray pipe 32 and evenly sprayed out through the water outlets to begin the hair washing procedure. The water pumping will stop when the power is turned off, whether the shampoo is finished or in progress. The operation is simple and convenient, greatly improving the efficiency and comfort of shampooing and hair care.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the bottom of the water tank 22 is provided with a drain outlet. When the wastewater generated during the shampooing process is collected in the water tank 22, it flows smoothly into an additional collection bucket that is placed in a suitable position through the drain outlet. The wastewater can then be poured out. The whole process is simple, efficient and meets hygiene standards.

[0044] Furthermore, the folding cloth 30 is preferably made of the same material as the umbrella and has a hydrophobic coating. This ensures that the folding cloth 30 is not easily damaged during repeated use and storage, extending its lifespan. The hydrophobic coating gives the folding cloth 30 excellent waterproof performance; water droplets generated during shampooing cannot adhere to the surface of the folding cloth 30 and will quickly form beads and roll off. After shampooing, if a small amount of water droplets remain on the folding cloth 30, simply wipe the surface gently with a dry cloth to quickly remove residual moisture, and then it can be stored directly. This design not only simplifies the post-shampoo cleaning process and improves efficiency, but also effectively avoids problems such as bacterial growth and odor caused by a damp folding cloth 30, providing patients with a more hygienic and comfortable shampooing environment.

[0045] Furthermore, the washing assembly 3 and water tank 22 can be designed for detachable installation. Specifically, for the washing assembly 3, one end of its support rod 31 is fixed by screws passing through the headboard 2 and installed in the embedded groove 20, while the other end of the support rod 31 is connected by inserting into a hole on the bed frame 1. The water tank 22 also adopts a detachable design from the headboard 2. The water tank 22 is fixed to the headboard 2 by a specific connection structure such as bolts. When not washing hair, the shampoo assembly and water tank 22 can be removed. This detachable installation design allows the shampoo device to more flexibly adapt to needs in different usage scenarios, improving the practicality and versatility of the device.

[0046] For any parts not mentioned in this utility model, existing technologies can be used or referenced.

[0047] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
