Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a multifunctional bedside call bell. Background Technology

[0002] A bedside call bell is a tool that can remotely transmit patient needs to the nurses' station, reducing the need for nurses to run back and forth between patients and nurses, and providing convenience for both parties. It is usually placed at the head of the bed in the ward.

[0003] Existing bedside call bells have limited functionality. Often, after a patient presses a button on the call bell, the main unit connected to the call bell at the nurse station displays the corresponding bed number and sounds a buzzer. This fails to clearly communicate the patient's clinical needs to medical staff. This can lead to misjudgment of the patient's actual needs due to unclear communication between the two parties, posing risks to clinical nursing work. Furthermore, when multiple call bells alarm medical staff simultaneously, they cannot determine the urgency of the patients' needs, which may delay patient treatment when there is insufficient manpower.

[0004] Based on this, this application proposes a multifunctional bedside call bell in order to solve at least one of the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a multifunctional bedside call bell, which solves the problems in existing technologies where patient needs are difficult to be specifically conveyed through the bedside call bell, and where it is difficult for medical staff to distinguish between priorities.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] This application provides a multifunctional bedside call bell, which solves the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to specifically convey patients' needs through the bedside call bell, and it is also difficult for medical staff to distinguish between priorities.

[0041] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] See Figures 1-5 As shown, a multifunctional hospital bed call bell includes: a call component 1, which is used to convey call requests of different types and intensities; a terminal 2, which is used to carry the call component 1; and a host 3, which is used to receive and relay the call requests conveyed by the call component 1; the call component 1 and the host 3 are electrically connected.

[0044] It should be noted that: Call component 1 can receive different types and intensities of patient calls. For example, multiple buttons can be installed on terminal 2, each representing a different need, such as daily care, IV drip filling, emergency help, etc. Patients can call medical staff according to their needs. Each button can be independently equipped with a timer at its bottom. The timer is electrically connected to the host 3. The urgency of the patient's need is conveyed by calculating the length of time the patient presses the timer. For example, a short time represents a general need, and a long time represents an emergency need. The host 3 can be equipped with a buzzer, voice system, etc. to broadcast the patient's needs, and the frequency and / or intensity of the message are based on the intensity of the need conveyed by call component 1. If the need is more urgent, the buzzer frequency and the frequency and / or intensity of the voice broadcast are higher, and vice versa. The buttons, timers, buzzers, voice systems, etc. in the host 3 mentioned above are all existing technologies, commonly found in broadcasting stations, various voice navigation systems, and fire monitoring systems. The specific principles will not be elaborated here.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the call component 1 includes: a slider 11 disposed on the terminal 2; a plurality of slide grooves 12, each slide groove 12 being slidably connected to the slider 11, and the slide grooves 12 being used to convey different call requests; and a terminal processor 13, which is used to transmit corresponding call requests according to the sliding of the slider 11 in different slide grooves 12, and to transmit call requests of corresponding intensity to the host 3 according to the sliding range of the slider 11.

[0046] It should be noted that: the slider 11 is slidably connected to multiple slide grooves 12. Multiple sliders 11 can be configured, each corresponding to its own slidably connected slide groove 12. Each slider 11 is independent of the others, thus enabling the transmission of complex demand signals, such as requesting fluid replacement during an IV drip and requesting medical personnel to change wound dressings. Alternatively, the slider 11 can be a single structure, in which case the slide grooves 12 are interconnected, allowing different demand calls to be made by sliding the slider 11 into different slide grooves 12. Generally, the slidable connection between the slider 11 and the slide groove 12 is achieved through similar shapes... The terminal processor 13 may include potentiometers, sliding rheostats, etc. When the slider 11 slides in the sliding groove 12, it can move or push the slider of the potentiometer or sliding rheostat to change the resistance of the corresponding potentiometer or sliding rheostat. Other devices in the terminal processor 13 can transmit signals to the host 3 according to the current change generated by the corresponding resistance change to reflect the call demand of different intensities. This type of technology is common in radio knob switches, electronic keyboards, broadcast station control consoles, etc., and belongs to the prior art. Its specific principle will not be described in detail here.

[0047] See Figures 1-5 As shown, in a further preferred embodiment, the terminal processor 13 is electrically connected to the host 3. The terminal processor 13 includes: a plurality of sliding rheostats 131, which are correspondingly arranged with a plurality of sliding grooves 12; a slider 11 is used to change the position of the slider of each sliding rheostat 131 to change the resistance value of the corresponding sliding rheostat 131; a plurality of reset members 132, which are respectively fixedly connected to the slider of the corresponding sliding rheostat 131 and are used to reset the slider of the sliding rheostat 131; and a signal processor 133, which is electrically connected to each sliding rheostat 131 and is used to transmit the corresponding call request to the host 3 according to the resistance value change of each sliding rheostat 131.

[0048] It should be noted that: the slider of the sliding rheostat 131 is placed in the slide groove 12. When the slider 11 slides in the slide groove 12, it can push the slider, thereby changing the resistance of the sliding rheostat 131, and thus changing the circuit current connected to the signal processor 133, thereby characterizing the intensity of the call demand; the reset element 132 can be a rubber block, spring, or other structure. For example, when the reset element 132 is a spring, one end is fixedly connected to the slider of the sliding rheostat 131, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 12. When the patient uses it, the slider 11 slides... Pushing the slider of the sliding rheostat 131 enables a call, and the intensity of the call demand is represented by the distance of the sliding motion. After the call ends, the spring pushes the slider of the sliding rheostat 131 to reset, which in turn pushes the slider 11 to reset. In particular, in an embodiment where only one slider 11 is provided and multiple interconnected slide grooves 12 are provided, and different call demands are represented by sliding in different directions, multiple reset members 132 can limit the position of the slider 11 in multiple directions in the general case when this device is not used, so that it is kept in the center of multiple slide grooves 12.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] See Figures 1-5 As shown, a multifunctional hospital bed call bell includes all the contents of Embodiment 1 and its preferred embodiments. In addition, the host 3 includes an acoustic prompting device, which is used to issue corresponding sound prompts according to the received call request.

[0051] It should be noted that the acoustic prompting device is used to issue corresponding sound prompts based on the received call requests. For example, it can announce the water change when an IV drip needs to be performed, or the routine care when routine care is required. The acoustic prompting device can also be set to announce the patient's ward number and bed number, making it easier for medical staff to understand the patient's needs. This type of structure is commonly seen in bank transaction systems or hospital registration systems, and is existing technology. Its specific principles will not be elaborated here.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the multiple swivels 12 have different colors, each color representing a different call request.

[0053] It should be noted that using different colors to represent different call needs can help patients better distinguish the functions represented by the different slides 12.

[0054] In a further preferred embodiment, the host 3 includes an optical indicator for displaying the color of the slide groove 12 to which the slider 11 slides.

[0055] It should be noted that the optical prompting device can be an LED light, a display screen, or other similar device. The LED light can display the color corresponding to the slide 12 to inform medical staff of the type of patient's needs. When using a display screen, it can be set to display the font color corresponding to the slide 12 and show specific information such as bed number requirements, thereby making it easier for medical staff to understand the patient's needs. This type of structure is commonly used in bank transactions, hospital registration and treatment, and fast food restaurant ordering systems. It is existing technology, and its specific principles will not be elaborated here.

[0056] Example 3:

[0057] See Figures 1-5 As shown, a multifunctional hospital bed call bell includes all the contents of Embodiments 1-2 and their preferred embodiments. In addition, a timing component 4 is provided on the terminal 2, and the timing component 4 is electrically connected to the host 3.

[0058] It should be noted that: through the timing component 4, medical staff can perform nursing tasks such as changing dressings and adjusting postures for patients at regular intervals, thereby improving the convenience and functionality of this device.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the terminal 2 and the host 3 are further provided with an intercom component 5, which is used for voice communication between the terminal 2 and the host 3.

[0060] It should be noted that when the call component 1 still cannot clearly explain the patient's specific call needs, the intercom component 5 can enable the patient and their family to communicate with medical staff, thereby conveying their specific needs.

[0061] Example 4:

[0062] See Figures 1-5 As shown, a multifunctional hospital bed call bell includes all the contents of Embodiments 1-3 and their preferred embodiments. In addition, it also includes a fixing base 6, which is detachably connected to the terminal 2.

[0063] It should be noted that the wires connecting the terminal 2 and the host 3 are mostly spiral-shaped, relying on elasticity to allow the patient to stretch and retrieve them, and automatically retract when not in use, making it convenient for nursing and cleaning; the fixing base 6 can be fixed at the head of the bed, and the terminal 2 can be detachably connected through structures such as buckles, Velcro, magnetic buckles, and sliding buckles, so that the terminal 2 can be stored when not in use, thus protecting the terminal 2.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the terminal 2 can be used independently powered by a battery, and the mounting base 6 can be equipped with a device for independently fixing and charging the terminal 2.

[0065] It should be noted that: when terminal 2 is fixed in the mounting base 6, the related functions of its calling component 1 can be turned off to extend the service life of terminal 2. This type of structure is common in power bank charging stations and other structures, and belongs to existing technology. The specific principle will not be elaborated here.

[0066] In a further preferred embodiment, a storage box 7 is also provided on one side of the terminal 2, which is used to store medical supplies.

[0067] It should be noted that the storage box 7 can be detachably connected to the terminal 2 using methods such as snaps or magnetic attraction, so as to open and close the storage box 7; medical supplies such as gauze and tape can be placed inside the storage box 7 for emergency use by medical staff.

[0068] In summary, compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0069] 1. This application establishes a call component (slider, slide, terminal processor, the terminal processor including sliding rheostat, reset component and signal processor) capable of conveying call requests of different types and intensities. The message is relayed through the terminal and host, enabling medical staff to know the specific call requests of patients. This allows them to carry relevant medical equipment to assist patients in a targeted manner. The intensity of the call requests can be used to determine the urgency of multiple patients' calls, reducing the risk of delayed treatment due to insufficient manpower to know the patient's condition.

[0070] 2. This application enables the host to accurately respond to patients' call requests by setting up acoustic and optical prompting devices on the host, thereby allowing medical staff to more easily understand the patients' needs and improving the paging efficiency of the call bell.

[0071] 3. This application, by setting up a timing component, an intercom component, a mounting base, and a storage box, meets the different usage needs of medical staff and patients, and improves the convenience of using this device.
