Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a body transport vehicle that can protect patient privacy. Background Technology

[0002] After a patient dies in a medical institution, the body is processed by mortuary staff and then transported to the hospital morgue. Currently, there is a widespread problem of insufficient privacy protection during the transport of patient remains. Specifically, the body is often uncovered during transport, failing to respect the patient's privacy. Furthermore, the lack of dedicated body transport channels in medical institutions means that the direct exposure of the body can cause distress and psychological distress to surrounding patients, their families, and the general public. Therefore, it is necessary to cover the body.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese utility model patent with an application date of July 11, 2023, and application number of 202321810557.2, which discloses an isolation transport vehicle. The vehicle has a foldable protective cover above the bed and along the length of the bed. One end of the bed has a storage cavity for storing the folded protective cover. The protective cover includes a padding layer and a protective layer. The bottom ring of the padding layer and the protective layer are movably connected by a locking fastener, so that the padding layer and the protective layer form a sealed protective cover to isolate patients with infectious diseases.

[0004] The inventors of this application, through clinical analysis and research, discovered that existing isolation transport vehicles with protective covers have the following problems: 1. The protective covers in existing isolation transport vehicles are mainly used for sealing and isolating patients with infectious diseases. Therefore, the structure of the protective cover, which consists of a padding layer and a protective layer, is relatively complex. However, in the current process of transporting remains, only a simple covering of the remains is required, and sealing and isolation are not necessary; 2. During the process of transferring remains from hospital beds or morgues to the transport vehicle, the existing transport vehicles with protective covers have a storage cavity at one end of the bed for storing the folded protective cover. As a result, when professionals (funeral personnel) move the remains from the hospital beds or morgues to the transport vehicle, this storage cavity at one end will obstruct the professionals' operation and make it inconvenient for them to operate. Utility Model Content

[0005] The protective covers in existing isolation transport vehicles are mainly used for sealing and isolating patients with infectious diseases. Therefore, the structure of the protective cover is relatively complex and does not meet the requirement that simple covering is sufficient for the current transport of remains without the need for sealing and isolation. At the same time, the existing isolation transport vehicles have a storage cavity at one end of the bed for storing the folded protective cover. As a result, when professionals move the remains from the hospital bed or the morgue to the transport vehicle, this storage cavity at one end will hinder the operation of professionals. This utility model provides a remains transport vehicle that can protect the privacy of patients.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A body transport vehicle that protects patient privacy includes a base plate. Four omnidirectional wheels with braking function are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate. Four support columns are fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate. A support plate is fixedly connected to the top of each support column. Protective plates are rotatably connected to the front and rear edges near the support plate. Stops that fit tightly against the protective plates are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the support plate. A push handle is fixedly connected to the left side of the support plate. Baffles are connected to the left and right surfaces of the support plate. Connecting blocks are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the right end of the support plate. A right support frame is rotatably connected to the two connecting blocks on the front and rear sides. The system includes pins that can lock both ends of the right support frame. The front and rear sides of the support plate also have sliding grooves, within which sliders can be slidably mounted. A left support frame is rotatably connected to the two sliders on the front and rear sides. Each slider also has pins that can lock both ends of the left support frame. The front and rear sides of the left and right ends of the support plate also have locking pins that can fix the sliders to the support plate. The height of the left support frame when vertically stable is greater than that of the right support frame. A foldable protective cover is connected to the left and right support frames.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides a body transport vehicle that can protect patient privacy, including a base plate 1. Four omnidirectional wheels 2 with braking function are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 1 to facilitate braking and securing the transport vehicle. Four support columns 3 are fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate 1. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of each support column 3. A guard plate 5 is rotatably connected to the front and rear edges near the support plate 4. The guard plate 5 can be raised or lowered by rotation, and the raised guard plate 5 prevents the body from slipping sideways. Stop blocks 6 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the support plate 4, closely abutting the guard plate 5. The stop blocks 6 are used to block the guard plate 5 to prevent it from rotating outwards during body transport. The body falls over; a push handle 7 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support plate 4, and baffles 8 are connected to the left and right surfaces of the support plate 4 to prevent the body from sliding left and right during transport; connecting blocks 9 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the right end of the support plate 4, and a right support frame 10 is rotatably connected to the two connecting blocks 9 on the front and rear sides. The connecting blocks 9 are provided with pins 11 that can lock the two ends of the right support frame 10. The front and rear sides of the support plate 4 are also provided with sliding grooves 41, which can be specifically designed as T-shaped sliding grooves. A slider 42 is slidably fitted in the sliding groove 41. A left support frame 12 is rotatably connected to the two sliders 42 on the front and rear sides. A latch 11 is also provided to lock both ends of the left support frame 12. Thus, when the left support frame 12 and the right support frame 10 provide vertical and stable support for the protective cover 13 or rotate together to the lower right end of the vehicle body, the latch 11 can lock both ends of the left support frame 12 and the right support frame 10 onto the connecting block 9 and the slider 42 respectively. When the left support frame 12 needs to rotate together with the right support frame 10 to the lower right end of the vehicle body, the latch 11 can be pulled out from the connecting block 9 and the slider 42 to facilitate manual rotation of the left support frame 12 and the right support frame 10. After the two support frames are manually rotated to the lower right end of the vehicle body, the two ends of the left support frame 12 and the right support frame 10 are locked back onto the connecting block 9 and the slider 42. On the slider 15; the left and right ends of the support plate 4 are also provided with locking pins 43 that can fix the slider 42 on the support plate. Specifically, when the left support frame 12 is manually slid from the right side of the transfer vehicle to the left side, the locking pin 43 is inserted into the support plate 4 through the preset through hole on the slider 42 to fix the left support frame 12. When the left support frame 12 is manually slid back to the right side, the locking pin 43 can also be inserted into the support plate 4 through the preset through hole on the slider 42 to fix it. The height of the left support frame 12 when it is vertically stable is greater than the height of the right support frame 10 when it is vertically stable, which makes it easier for the left support frame 12 to rotate together with the right support frame 10 to the bottom of the vehicle body at this end.The left support frame 12 and right support frame 10 are connected to a foldable protective cover 13. The protective cover 13 can be made of a fine, dark-colored antibacterial fabric with good light-blocking properties. The top and sides are fully enclosed, preventing other patients and their families from seeing the layout and items inside the transport vehicle. The protective cover 13 has a curtain 14 with Velcro closures. The curtain 14 has a handle opening 15, allowing a push handle 7 to extend from the handle opening 15, making it easy for transport personnel to hold and push the transport vehicle. The handle opening 15 is connected to the curtain 14 with Velcro closures, which facilitates better attachment of the curtain 14 to the protective cover 13 during transport to protect privacy.
