Abstract

Reducing, or even eliminating, physically demanding caregiving tasks is a key challenge in addressing issues such as reduced caregiving time, lower caregiving costs, and caregiver shortages. For those receiving care, one challenge is to eliminate the mental and physical burden on both caregivers and those receiving care caused by uncleanliness and foul odors resulting from difficulties with toileting, bathing, and other daily activities. [Solution] By having the person being cared for lie naked on a net sheet bed for care, showers can be given from above and below. Using a microbubble shower eliminates the need for detergents, keeping the person being cared for clean. By providing a toilet seat opening in the net sheet for the person being cared for's buttocks and installing a simple bidet toilet seat, the person being cared for can defecate without standing up. It is even better to provide reclining mechanisms on both sides to allow the person being cared for to sit up. The introduction of an air conditioning and hot water supply system, along with AI-powered operation, can enable elderly-to-elderly care and remote care.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] For the elderly whose bodies are deteriorating, the fear of becoming immobile is real, and in fact, not only are their families worried about causing trouble in terms of labor and cost to people around them, but there are also many people who think, "Why not just receive care?" or "Why not just enter a nursing home for the elderly?" However, the number of rooms in nursing homes for the elderly is not sufficient, resulting in waiting lists for admission. There is also the problem that some people cannot afford to enter due to insufficient funds. Currently, a significant number of people are left worried that they do not have enough money in old age and there is no guarantee of obtaining a sufficient environment. In addition, with the aging population and the resulting shortage of care workers, the government is currently promoting home-based care. For those who are approaching the "grave" stage of their lives, the real challenge is the immense anxiety they feel about the care they will receive in the next 5 to 10 years. The government is trying to reduce the cost of long-term care by increasing policies that encourage family members to provide care. However, caring for people who cannot move freely requires physical strength, making it extremely difficult for those who are not physically strong, especially elderly couples caring for each other or female family members. In particular, a major problem with home care is the difficulty of providing care during toileting and bathing due to a lack of physical strength. Even if toileting is done in bed, cleaning and maintaining a hygienic environment requires moving the person being cared for, which is a physically demanding task, making it a multitude of problems. In addition, elderly people at that age often develop dementia and wander, creating problems that make it difficult to provide adequate care. The more you tell them not to go out, the more they tend to wander. What are these challenges? 1. Reducing the effort required for caregivers to move around in bed, including standing up and turning over. 2. Improving bed structures to allow for excretion in bed and clarifying methods for maintaining cleanliness of both the bed and the person being cared for. 3. Beds with washing functions that eliminate the need for transfers for bathing and allow the person being cared for to bathe in bed. And so on. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] Solving these problems cannot be achieved solely through the development of beds, toilets, or combined devices. To reduce the burden on caregivers, it is necessary to identify the inherently heavy labor involved in caregiving, reduce it, and provide a hygienic living environment through hardware solutions. One of the most fundamental solutions to this is the invention of a bed for those receiving care. Specifically, to enable the washing of those receiving care, it is necessary to adopt a net-type bed that allows for easy disposal of cleaning solutions and good drainage. In other words, this invention relates to a caregiving net sheet bed that has a lifting sheet and can be set up as needed. Secondly, we are developing a reclining net-sheet bed for elderly care and a toilet system that can be combined with it. The third invention is a bathing chamber and a simple-operation shower unit that covers part, part, or almost all of these beds. The shower is not a conventional shower, but can use a fine bubble and / or ultrafine bubble shower that has cleaning power even without detergent. For heavy soiling, a detergent shower can be used first. The fourth invention is a care wheelchair with a reclining seat. This care wheelchair minimizes the effort required to transfer from the wheelchair to the bed. It would also be beneficial to include a toilet function in the care wheelchair to accommodate the declining physical strength of the person being cared for. If the care wheelchair is electric, integrating sensors and GPS functions into the system could make it an invention that allows for even more diverse modes of transportation. Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 are perspective diagrams illustrating the main components of a nursing care net sheet bed. Figure 1-1 shows the net sheet of the nursing care net sheet bed. The sheet 2 shown in Figure 1-2 supports the lower thighs, waist, and back when lifting a human body 4 shown in Figure 1-3. The lifting sheet, which has multiple lifting hook holes 3, can be raised and lowered independently of the net sheet. The bed is used by stacking the net sheet and the lifting sheet on top of each other. Figure 2 is a plan view exploded showing the net sheet in more detail. The net, which consists of net 1-1 and sheet 1-2 that secures it, is reinforced by longitudinal reinforcing bands 1-3 that reinforce both longitudinal sides of the sheet and short reinforcing bands 1-4 on both short sides. Figure 3-1 is a plan view of the lifting net when a human body 4 is lying on the lifting sheet 2. The lifting net of sheet 2 is composed of shoulder reinforcement net bands 2-1 centered on the armpits, waist reinforcement net bands 2-2 that reinforce the upper waist, lower thigh reinforcement net bands 2-4 that reinforce the lower thighs, and buttock side reinforcement net bands 2-3 that reinforce the left and right sides of the buttocks. Figure 3-2 shows the net sheet of a nursing care net sheet bed. It is a plan view showing the net sheet shown in Figure 2 with hook holes formed on both sides (1-3-1) and top and bottom (1-4-1) so that hooks can be attached to the reinforcing band. It is designed so that hooks can be attached and detached, and it is sufficient to have a mechanism to keep the net taut by tightening the reinforcing bands on both sides. Figure 4 shows a net sheet 1, clamp bars 1-5 that clamp it from both sides, support columns 5-3 and 5-4 that horizontally fix the clamp bars, a top plate 5 for the canopy, a lifting motor 5-2 that raises and lowers the lifting net, and a lifting belt guide 5-5. The lifting net 2 is attached to lifting hook holes 3 and a lifting rope 6, allowing it to be raised and lowered with a person on it. This allows caregivers to easily move the person being cared for to the bed by attaching the lifting net and lifting belt and operating the motor switch. The specific method involves transferring a person receiving care from a medical stretcher or a care wheelchair to a care net sheet bed. As shown in Figure 5-1, the person 4 is placed on a pre-installed lifting net 3 on the stretcher 7, or the person 4 is placed on a care wheelchair with a pre-installed lifting net 3 (Figure 5-3), in the transport configuration (Figure 5-2), or the care wheelchair is reclined (Figure 5-4). Next, the stretcher with the person on it (Figure 5-2) is moved under the canopy of the care net sheet bed (step 1), to the state shown in Figure 6-1. Then, the lifting hook 3 and lifting rope 6 are connected and the lifting net is raised (step 2). After that, the stretcher is moved out of the bed area (step 3). Then, as shown in Figure 5-2, the net sheet 1 is set on the clamp bar (step 4). After that, the lifting net is lowered (step 5) and the person receiving care can be placed on the care net sheet bed. Figures 7 to 10 show further novel methods for forming a net sheet bed for caregiving. Numerous small net sheet transport rotating spools 9 are attached to the reinforcing band of the net sheet, and a rotating spool slide rail 7, similar to a curtain rail, is used to allow for smooth movement, thus enabling the handling of the net sheet to be automated. Figure 7 shows a perspective view illustrating the configuration of another caregiving net sheet bed. It consists of a reclining fixing component 11 for the lumbar side fixed to the support column of the canopy, fixing components 12 for fixing both sides of the calf area, a hinge structure component 13 that can be folded on both sides of the toes, and two strong sliding rails connecting them. Figure 7-3-1 is a plan view of section b, where the rotating spindles 9-1, joined to the reinforcing strips 1-2 on both sides of the net sheet 1-1, are joined by hook components 10, closely spaced when the weight of the human body is heavy and widely spaced when it is light. Figure 7-3-2 is a side view of section c. Figure 7-1 shows a side cross-sectional view 7-1 of section a, the slide entrance for the net sheet of the rotating spindle slide rail 7. The net sheet that enters through the slide entrance can be slid within the slide rail 7-2 to insert the rotating spindle. The slide rail has two stages so that, in addition to the net sheet 1, towels, blankets, etc. can be hung on the human body by stacking these rails. Figure 7-2-2 is a side view of section d. Figures 8-1 and 8-2 show a plan view and a front view of the net sheet 1 used in Figure 7, its reinforcing strips 1-3, and a hook component 10 that clamps the rotating spool 9 that slides inside the slide rail 7, with the person being cared for 4 placed on the lifting net 2 on top of the net sheet 1 after it has been slid in. Figure 9 is a perspective view illustrating the method of retracting and installing the net sheet 1 of a nursing care net sheet bed. In the enlarged front view 9-2 of the tip a of the strong rail 7 attached to the support column of the canopy, a setting motor 14-1 is installed, and the wire 14-1-1 connected to the leading end of the net sheet can be wound up inside the slide rail 7 through which the rotating spool 9, which is joined to the net sheet 1 as shown in the cross section c, passes. The setting motors 14-2 and 14-2-1 can also be installed on a towel blanket or comforter. Figure 9-2-2 is a side view showing the state in which the rotating spool 9 is slid into place in cross section c. Figure 10 shows an example of storing and setting out the net sheet 1 in a perspective view. The net sheet is stored in a net sheet storage box 15, which has guide rings 18 that guide the rotating spindle and guide rolls 17 set on both sides, arranged to make effective use of the storage box space. Figure 10-1 shows an enlarged partial explanatory plan view and a side view of part b of the net sheet. The net sheet 1-1 and the reinforcing band 1-2 are connected by a slide roller 9 and a hook component 10. One side of the net sheet is connected to a winding storage motor 16 which is connected to a storage wire, and the other side of the net sheet is connected to a setting winding motor 14-1 shown in Figure 9-2. The setting motor pulls in the net sheet transport rotating spindle 9 set on the net sheet through the pull-in opening shown in Figure 7-1 and sets it in the predetermined position. When it is necessary to clear the space under the lid or to wash the net sheet, the winding motor 16 stores the net sheet in the storage box. Next, we will explain the invention of the care net sheet bed for bathing and toileting, and specifically demonstrate how to utilize and integrate the care net sheet bed to reduce the workload of caregivers. First, we will show its use in bathing as a perspective diagram in Figure 11. Figure 11-1 shows a front view illustrating the human body, the lifting net, and the shower area during showering. During bathing, a simple, foldable bathtub made of heat-resistant vinyl sheeting is placed below the net sheeting, and as shown in Figure 11-1, a warm water shower wash is performed from the chest to the tips of the toes, with the washwater collected in the simple bathtub. One reason for using a net sheeting over the bed is to enable showering while remaining in bed. Next, we will show an example of reducing the effort required during defecation. By providing holes for defecation, such as the net sheet toilet seat hole 25-1 and the lifting net 24-1, as shown in Figure 12, as shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2, a care net sheet bed with a net sheet toilet seat hole is completed as shown in Figure 13. By installing a simple toilet 26 with a toilet seat 27 and / or a defecation washing unit 28 as shown in Figure 13-1 at the bottom of the net sheet, care can be provided without moving the person being cared for. This simple toilet should be lightweight and preferably easy to install and remove. Figure 14 shows a modification to the seat of the care vehicle shown in Figure 14-2, where a hole is made in the lower part of the seat to install a lifting seat with hole 24-1, and the simple toilet set shown in Figure 14-3 is inserted into the lower part of the seat. The result of this modification is shown in Figure 14-1. When a person receiving care needs to defecate, it is easier for them to lower their body below the knees and raise their upper body. Therefore, Figures 15-1 and 15-2 show side views illustrating the reclining function of a care net sheet bed. In Figure 15-1, reclining units 11 are installed on the support columns 5-3 on both sides of the waist of the human body, and the net sheet on the upper body side can be reclined in a cycle such as a, b, c, and d, as shown in Figure 15-2. At the same time, the net sheet on the upper body side and the net sheet below the knees can be lowered in conjunction with the lower knees in a, b, c, and d using a reverse reclining component 12. The sliders 7 on both sides of the knees are fixed to the reverse reclining component 12 which is fixed to the support column 5-4. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] By using a caregiving net sheet bed that utilizes the net sheet and lifting net described in patent claims 1 to 7, it is possible to perform the task of laying the person being cared for onto the bed with less effort from the caregiver. More specifically, by providing support fabric or mesh-like and band-like reinforcing strips on the lifting net in the area corresponding to below the thighs, above the waist, and from the armpits to above the shoulders, it has the effect of creating a lifting net that can be lifted in the same way as if a person were lifting someone up. This has the effect of making it possible to stand up, move to a bed, or move to a wheelchair without using much force. Furthermore, by attaching and detaching a simple water tank 19 for receiving water to the lower part of the care net sheet bed described in patent claim 8, the lifting net and net sheet are made of net, which allows for water bathing and washing by pouring water, including a shower, over the person being cared for. A fine bubble shower is preferable for the shower system, which allows for washing simply by showering the area from the chest to the toes of the person being cared for. Microfine bubbles are even more suitable, and are expected to reduce the amount of detergent used and speed up the drying time of the person being cared for. This invention is expected to reduce the number of caregivers required during water bathing. Patent claims 9 and 10 describe an invention that allows a person receiving care to defecate in bed. By making a hole in the lifting net and net sheet in the area corresponding to the person receiving care's buttocks, weaving the edges of the hole, and positioning a portable toilet directly below the hole in the lower part of the care net sheet bed, it is possible to defecate in bed. The lower part of the care net sheet bed is a space, allowing the portable toilet system to be easily installed and removed. Since defecation and urination are difficult while lying down, it is preferable to provide a reclining system. Furthermore, it would be even better if the toilet seat system currently on the market could be incorporated on top of the portable toilet seat to allow for shower cleaning. Even if soiling occurs on the person receiving care or the care net sheet bed during defecation, the caregiver can easily clean the soiled area with a shower. This invention has the effect of eliminating physically demanding tasks for caregivers, such as attaching and detaching the lifting net and the switch for raising and lowering it, the net sheet slide switch for raising and lowering the lifting net, setting up the foldable water tank described in claim 8 during bathing, showering and wiping, setting up and collecting the portable toilet described in claims 9 and 10, and cleaning the toilet. At the same time, it is possible to reduce the amount of disposable diapers used by the person being cared for and solve the problem of incinerating discarded diapers. The caregiving net sheet bed is preferably located in a room with heating and air conditioning, and preferably connected to a water heater system for showers. In the future, if the system recognizes the urination and defecation status data of each person being cared for and uses AI functionality to reduce soiling around the person's waist, it will also have the effect of reducing non-combustible waste such as disposable diapers, as mentioned above. For care recipients who are nearly naked and only covered with a blanket, it is preferable to design underwear suitable for use with a care net sheet bed. Furthermore, it is preferable that the net sheet and the lifting net be made of a material that has a strong core and a water-repellent, quick-drying surface. This is because it allows for better drainage of water during showers and showering after urination and defecation, and facilitates drying. It is also thought that using heat-tech fibers or yarns used in Cool Biz, depending on the season, would be effective. In any case, care recipients on the bed and in the care vehicle need clothing that can be easily put on and taken off from the front and back, and this is expected to create new industries. Furthermore, when the person receiving care goes out, the lifting net can be transferred to the care wheelchair. The care wheelchair should preferably have GPS and / or autopilot functions. It can operate on a pre-programmed walking route, either by the person receiving care or on a map of parks and roads, using GPS and human detection sensors. This allows the wheelchair to move freely even without a caregiver, reducing the caregiver's care time and simultaneously increasing the care recipient's freedom. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 14] Figure 14 shows a side view illustrating the installation of a shower-equipped portable toilet seat on a care wheelchair 30 with a lifting net 3 that can be used in conjunction with a caregiving net sheet bed. The seat and lifting net have toilet seat holes as shown in Figure 14-2, and the shower-equipped portable toilet seat shown in Figure 14-3 is slid in from the back of the care wheelchair. This eliminates the need to worry about excretion while moving in the wheelchair. [Figure 15] Figures 15-1 and 15-2 show a side view illustrating the operation of reclining, with the rotating spindle slide rail 7 divided into three sections, a reclining motor 11 installed on the canopy support column 5-3, and a mechanism 12 installed on the support column 5-4 that lowers in conjunction with the reclining motion, as shown in Figure 15-2 and Figure 15-1 illustrating the state in which a human body is lying down. [Examples]

[0009] This was presented as a means to solve the problem. [Industrial applicability]

[0010] This patent addresses the current and future challenge of caregiver shortages, proving useful in operations at nursing homes, elderly couples caring for each other, and hospitals. It is also user-friendly for those receiving care, suggesting that "just as young people need cars, the elderly will need this care net bed, shower system, simple excretion system, and electric wheelchair with a horizontally reclining toilet to ensure freedom of movement for those receiving care, creating a new industry. Furthermore, if all processes are automated during its development, it is expected to attract new industries utilizing GPS and AI. These are anticipated to be needed not only in Japan but also in aging countries like China and others, leading to the creation of new industries." It is expected that the reuse business will flourish for essential items with short lifespans, and significant changes will materialize in care operations. With full automation realized and AI used to learn individual operations, it will be possible for elderly people to care for other elderly people, and even for only children to assist their parents remotely. The heavy labor of assisting those receiving care with bathing and toileting will be eliminated, and if less physical strength is required, even the elderly and children will be able to provide care, and it will become possible for community associations to provide care within villages and towns. The security industry can also expand into collaborations with elderly workers in the community, and a review of care costs throughout life will be considered. It is expected that this will be a useful tool that will lead not only to the revision of care costs but also to revisions of laws related to care. [Explanation of symbols]
