Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a nursing bed with adjustable bed rails. Background Technology
[0002] Fixed-height bed rails are typically installed on both sides of nursing beds. These rails are adjusted by quick-release latches to move the bed board up or down. The entire operation is primarily done manually by folding. In practice, the folding mechanism is prone to wear, and the latches or levers can loosen or become stuck after prolonged use. Furthermore, the folded bed rails occupy space on the sides of the bed, hindering passage around the patient. This method is mainly suitable for adult patients, but for pediatric patients of a wide age range, the fixed-height bed rails cannot be adjusted according to the patient's size and condition. This leads to falls from the bed when using fixed-height bed rails in pediatric settings, requiring prolonged supervision from family members. This not only increases the burden on family members but also poses a risk of injury to the patient if a fall occurs. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a nursing bed with adjustable side rails, primarily used for pediatric diagnosis and nursing procedures. Compared to the traditional straight-up-down adjustment method of side rails, this bed allows for height adjustment based on the patient's specific condition. It is particularly suitable for pediatric treatment rooms where patients exhibit significant differences in body size, allowing for adjustment of the side rail height to prevent falls from the bed.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model embodiment adopts the following technical solution: a nursing bed with adjustable bed rails, comprising a bed board, with headboard and footboard guardrails respectively provided at both ends of the bed board, side rails provided on both sides of the bed board, quick-release latches for connecting to the bed board provided on the inner sides of the headboard and footboard guardrails, a mounting base provided below the side rails, the inner side of the mounting base being slidably connected to the bed board, and a lifting drive module provided below the mounting base.
[0005] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0006] The lifting drive module includes a drive motor, the output end of which is provided with an electric push rod, and the lower part of the mounting base is provided with an adapter connected to the electric push rod.
[0007] The inner wall of the adapter is provided with a guide rail, and the bed board is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the guide rail.
[0008] The lower part of the mounting base is provided with guide columns located on both sides of the electric push rod, and a support beam is provided below the bed board. The support beam is provided with guide holes corresponding to the positions of the guide columns.
[0009] The mounting base is provided with a storage slot, and the lower part of the side guardrail is provided with a plug-in plate that works with the storage slot.
[0010] The bottom of the storage slot is provided with multiple grooves, and each groove is provided with a pressing spring, with a pressure switch between two adjacent grooves.
[0011] The side guardrail consists of two side-by-side splicing panels, with a lifting drive module installed below each splicing panel.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: The nursing bed with adjustable bed rails includes a bed board, with headboard and footboard guardrails respectively provided at both ends of the bed board. Side rails are provided on both sides of the bed board. The inner sides of the headboard and footboard guardrails are provided with quick-release latches connected to the bed board. A mounting base is provided below the side rails. The inner side of the mounting base is slidably connected to the bed board. A lifting drive module is provided below the mounting base. The height of the side rails can be adjusted using the lifting drive module. Compared with the traditional straight up and down adjustment method of the guardrails, the height of the side rails can be adjusted according to the specific situation of the patient. It is especially suitable for pediatric treatment rooms where patients have large differences in body size. The height of the side rails can be adjusted according to actual needs to avoid falling out of bed.
[0013] Both the headboard and footboard use conventional quick-release latches. Compared to conventional fixed headboards and footboards, these allow for quick opening of the panels from the headboard or footboard when medical staff are needed to provide care or emergency treatment to the patient.
[0014] The bottom of the storage compartment has multiple grooves evenly distributed along its length. Each groove contains a pressure spring, and there is a pressure switch between two adjacent grooves. The top of the pressure spring is higher than the top of the pressure switch. When a patient presses the guardrail to climb over, the pressure spring is forced down and contacts the pressure switch. The pressure switch is connected to an alarm, which can quickly alert medical staff to observe the situation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the nursing bed with adjustable bed rails in this embodiment includes a bed board 1, with a headboard 2 and a footboard 3 at both ends of the bed board 1, and side rails 4 on both sides of the bed board 1. The inner sides of the headboard 2 and the footboard 3 are equipped with quick-release latches 20 connected to the bed board 1. A mounting base 5 is provided below the side rails 4, and the inner side of the mounting base 5 is slidably connected to the bed board 1. A lifting drive module is provided below the mounting base 5. The height of the side rails 4 can be adjusted using the lifting drive module. Compared with the traditional straight up and down adjustment method of the rails, the height of the side rails can be adjusted according to the specific situation of the patient. It is especially suitable for pediatric treatment rooms where patients have large differences in body size. The height of the side rails 4 can be adjusted according to actual needs to avoid falling out of bed.
[0022] Both the headboard 2 and footboard 3 use conventional quick-release latches 20 (such as the connection structure between the side panel and the bed board in the VanRy children's bed, model VanRyDR-I). Compared with conventional fixed headboards and footboards, the panels can be quickly opened from the headboard or footboard when medical staff are needed to provide medical care, allowing for patient care or emergency treatment.
[0023] The lifting drive module includes a drive motor 6, with an electric actuator 7 at the output end of the drive motor 6. An adapter 8 connected to the electric actuator 7 is located at the lower part of the mounting base 5. The drive motor 6 can be driven remotely and is equipped with a control switch, placed on the outside of the bed to prevent patient contact. A guide rail 9 is provided on the inner wall of the adapter 8, and a guide groove 10 is provided on the bed board 1 to cooperate with the guide rail 9. The lifting height of the side guardrail 4 can be adjusted freely via the electric actuator 7. The structure is simple, facilitating later maintenance and parts replacement. The guide rail 9 and guide groove 10 serve as primary guides, enhancing the stability of the mounting base 5 during lifting. Alternatively, the lifting drive module can use a hydraulic rod or other lifting devices, primarily for adjusting the height of the side guardrail 4.
[0024] The lower part of the mounting base 5 is provided with guide columns 11 located on both sides of the electric push rod 7. The lower part of the bed board 1 is provided with a support beam 12. The support beam 12 is provided with guide holes 13 corresponding to the positions of the guide columns 11. The guide columns 11 and guide holes 13 serve as secondary guides to further enhance the stability of lifting.
[0025] The mounting base 5 is provided with a storage slot 14, and the lower part of the side guardrail 4 is provided with a plug plate 15 that works with the storage slot 14. The plug plate 15 is detachably connected to the mounting base 5, which facilitates replacement and maintenance.
[0026] The bottom of the storage compartment 14 has multiple grooves 16 evenly distributed along the length of the storage compartment 14. Each groove 16 contains a pressing spring 17, and a pressure switch 18 is located between two adjacent grooves 16. The uppermost end of the pressing spring 17 is higher than the uppermost end of the pressure switch 18. When a patient presses the guardrail to climb over, the pressing spring 17 is forced down and contacts the pressure switch 18. The pressure switch 18 is connected to an alarm to quickly alert medical staff to observe the patient.
[0027] The side guardrail 4 includes two splicing panels 19 arranged side by side. Each splicing panel 19 is equipped with a lifting drive module below it. The height of each splicing panel 19 can be controlled individually through the separate lifting drive module, which can be adapted to the specific situation and enhance the applicability of the product.
