Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to medical rehabilitation and health care aids, and more particularly to nursing care equipment and assistive devices such as suspension devices equipped with such nursing care equipment. [Background technology]
[0002] With the populations of developed and some developing countries rapidly aging, the healthcare industry is one of the industries with great potential for future growth. The World Health Organization predicts that the global market size for the aging industry will reach $37.38 trillion by 2025.
[0003] As people age, they often experience functional decline and disabilities. Daily care, medical rehabilitation, and health care for people with disabilities vary depending on the type and severity of their disability. To make it easier for medical staff and caregivers to care for people with disabilities who have difficulty moving around, they often use mobility aids such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, and walking aids to support the activities of people with disabilities.
[0004] However, during the care, treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery process for disabled people, different mobility and rehabilitation needs arise depending on the recovery status of physical functions, so various mobility aids can only be used at specific times during the disabled person's recovery process, and after a certain period of use, they often become unnecessary as the disabled person's physical functions recover, forcing disabled people and their caregivers to constantly purchase and use mobility aids with different functions. This not only increases the financial burden on disabled people, their families, and care facilities, but also causes inconvenience to medical care and care.
[0005] For the elderly and disabled, care equipment can assist and speed up mobility and transfer tasks in daily life. For caregivers, using mobility equipment can effectively improve the efficiency of caregiving and reduce the risk of lower back and back injuries during caregiving. At the same time, daily standing and walking training is also essential for the elderly and disabled. Effective training can reduce the risk of muscle atrophy, improve walking ability, and help restore lower limb function.
[0006] Currently available mobility devices can basically meet the needs of elderly and disabled people for transfers, but their functionality is relatively limited and they cannot accommodate users' daily functional training (e.g., maintaining muscle strength through walking and squatting), and are difficult to use for other daily activities such as cleaning and using the toilet.
[0007] Therefore, the development of a care device that can meet the daily activity needs of disabled people, has high basic rehabilitation training functionality, and can be combined with various care modules has become a problem that those skilled in the art are eager to solve. The care device of the present invention is applicable to loading modules that carry disabled people or rehabilitation patients, and allows users with different needs to perform different rehabilitation exercises, and can be used by disabled people and caregivers from the early stages of illness to recovery, thereby benefiting many people and increasing convenience and versatility, as well as reducing the economic burden on users and waste of environmental resources.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3. Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a host module according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of a mounting module according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 is a partial cross-sectional schematic view of the pedal of Figure 2. To achieve at least one or more of the above advantages, one embodiment of the present invention proposes a host module that can mount various care modules to perform various care functions and also has functions such as mobility.
[0043] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the host module 1 includes a travel module 100, a support frame module 200, and a coupling module 100. The travel module 100 includes at least a chassis unit 110 and a caster set 120. The chassis unit 110 is arranged horizontally, and the caster set 120 is connected to both side edges of the chassis unit 110 with pins. The caster set 120 can be opened and closed to move the host module 1. The chassis unit 110 has a flat upper surface 112 that can be used as a pedal. As shown in FIG. 3, the chassis unit 110 includes a chassis main body 150 and a movable pedal 170. The chassis main body 150 is a U-shaped structure that mounts the caster set 120 and the support frame module 200 and guides the movement of the movable pedal 170. The movable pedal 170 includes a T-shaped sliding body 160 and a pedal 171, and the T-shaped sliding body 160 is composed of a straight rod 161 and a horizontal rod 162 that are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the pedal 171 is the flat upper surface 112 of the chassis unit 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, one end of the straight rod 161 is engaged with a groove in the center of the horizontal rod 162 to form a T-shaped structure that fits into the chassis main body 150, and the two together define the bottom frame of the chassis unit 110 for loading the pedal 171. Guide units 151 / 152 are provided at the center and both sides of the U-shaped structure of the chassis main body 150, respectively. The guide unit 151 at the center of the U-shaped structure is slidably mounted on the straight rod 161 of the T-shaped sliding body 160, and the guide units 152 on both sides are slidably mounted on both ends of the horizontal rod 162. A pedal 171 is provided above the T-shaped sliding body 160 and can slide back and forth on the guide units 151 / 152 of the chassis main body 150 via the T-shaped sliding body 160, thereby being able to move to different positions. The guide unit 151 is provided with a locking portion 154 that locks the straight rod 161 and fixes the movable pedal 170 at different positions. The pedal 171 can be used to attach or load other components, for example, as a footplate to support a user's feet or as a mounting surface for mounting or loading other modules or components. The shape of the guide units 151 / 152 is not limited to a groove or rod shape, and may be any structure that can be joined to the movable pedal and slide smoothly.In one embodiment, the pedals 171 of the chassis unit 110 are provided with stripes to increase friction and improve anti-slip properties. The chassis main body 150 has two mounting locking plates 113 on both side edges thereof, each of which has a loading surface 114 that is flush with the flat upper surface 112 of the chassis unit 110, allowing other components to be attached and loaded.
[0044] The caster set 120 includes at least a plurality of swivel sets 122, a directional set 124, two long support legs 121, and two short support legs 123. When the swivel sets 122 rotate, the direction of movement on a horizontal plane is not limited. In the illustrated embodiment, the caster set 120 includes at least four swivel sets 122. The four swivel sets 122 are pin-connected to both side edges of the chassis unit 110 via two long support legs 121, two short support legs 123, and pin-connected rotation shafts 125. The long support legs 121 and short support legs 123 are mounted below the chassis unit 110 via the mounting locking plate 113 and the pin-connected rotation shafts 125. That is, each side edge of the chassis unit 110 has a long support leg 121, a short support leg 123, and two swivel sets 122. A swivel set 122 is provided at one end of each of the long support legs 121 and short support legs 123, and the other end is fixedly attached to the undercarriage unit 110. The two long support legs 121 and short support legs 123 are disposed on the front and rear sides of the chassis unit 110. The diameter of the swivel set 122 provided on the short support legs 123 is larger than the diameter of the swivel set 122 provided on the long support leg 121, and the long support legs 121 and short support legs 123 are further provided with a control device for controlling the movement and positioning of the swivel set 122. The two long support legs 121 of the wheel set 120 can swing open and closed to facilitate use with assistive devices such as wheelchairs. When the two long support legs 121 are opened, the overall stability of the host module 1 can be improved.
[0045] For better operability and safety during travel, the directional wheel set 124 can be configured to rotate in only one predetermined direction on a horizontal plane. The directional wheel set 124 is located adjacent to the front center of the chassis unit 110 and is located within a horizontally enclosed area formed with the plurality of free wheel sets as vertices. The directional wheel set 124 includes at least a directional wheel 127, an elastic device 128, and a switching device 126. The directional wheel 127 is movably located below the directional wheel set 124 via the elastic device 128, allowing the axis of the directional wheel 127 to elastically and freely move in the vertical direction. The elastic device 128 ensures that the directional wheel 127 always remains in contact with the ground and remains effective during travel. The switching device 126 is located adjacent to the directional wheel 127 and can control the directional wheel 127 to be fixed in direction or freely rotatable. That is, when the switching device 126 is operated to switch, the direction of the directional wheel 127 can be fixed, allowing the mobile module 100 to move in a set direction. Alternatively, when the switching device 126 is operated to switch, the direction of the directional wheel 127 can be released, allowing the mobile module 100 to move in any direction. The above-mentioned switching operations, whether specified or not, can be performed by appropriate directional control. For example, the switching device 126 and the directional wheel 127 can each include a positioning pin and a positioning hole (not shown). By operating the switching device 126 to couple or uncouple the pin and hole, the directional wheel 127 can be set to either a fixed direction or a freely rotatable state, thereby meeting different mobile operation needs. Furthermore, the directional wheel 127 can be set to not only be fixed in a single direction, but also to multiple directions, and the orientation of the directional wheel 127 can be changed by operating the switching device 126. Arranging the castor set 120 in this manner makes the movement of the mobile module 100 and the host module 1 more stable and labor-saving, while also making operation more convenient. Additionally, the directional wheel set 124 and the movable pedal 170 can move toward the short support leg 123 relative to the long support leg 121 .
[0046] The support frame module 200 includes a plurality of vertical rods 210 and a plurality of connecting plates 220. One ends of the vertical rods 210 are fixedly attached to the chassis unit 110 of the movement module 100, and the other ends are connected to and fixed below the connecting plates 220. That is, the connecting plates 220 are located above the chassis unit 110, and the vertical rods 210 are connected between the chassis unit 110 and the connecting plates 220. As shown in the figure, one ends of the vertical rods 210 are fixedly attached to the loading surface 114 of the mounting locking plate 113 of the chassis unit 110. With this arrangement, the movable pedal 170 of the chassis unit 110 can move freely relative to the long support leg 121 toward the short support leg 123 without being obstructed.
[0047] The vertical rods 210 are provided with first locking holes 212 arranged along the vertical direction, forming a connection interface for attaching and locking care modules with different functions. The four vertical rods 210 can be provided with the first locking holes 212 in any number and at any interval required to form four independent yet interconnectable connection interfaces. The heights of the care modules with different functions can be adjusted via the first locking holes 212 arranged at different heights on the vertical rods 210. The horizontal surface of the connecting plate 220 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 222 (connection interfaces), and the vertical surface of the connecting plate 220 is provided with a plurality of second locking holes 224 that, together with the plurality of locking portions 226, form separate connection modules for securing components arranged in the first mounting holes 222. After one end of the vertical rod 210 is attached to the first mounting holes 222, it is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 220 via the second locking holes 224 and locking portions 226. The first locking holes 212, the first mounting holes 222, and the second locking holes 224 can be, but are not limited to, arranged at equal intervals. That is, the multiple vertical rods 210 are attached and fixed to the upper part of the chassis unit 110 via the multiple vertical rods 210 and the multiple connecting plates 220, so that the host module 1 can be attached with care modules or other components with different functions via the multiple vertical rods 210 and the multiple connecting plates 220.
[0048] To further explain, in a specific embodiment, the multiple connecting plates 220 are arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the multiple vertical rods 210. The vertical rods 210 may be hollow cylindrical tubes made of metal, and the connecting plates 220 are generally rectangular in shape with a uniform thickness to facilitate the arrangement of through-holes. The multiple first mounting holes 222 of the connecting plates 220 are through-holes arranged vertically. The multiple second locking holes 224 and multiple locking portions 226 of the connecting plates 220 are arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the multiple first mounting holes 222.
[0049] The connection module 10 includes multiple connection devices 12 and multiple connection interfaces, which are provided on the support frame module 200 and can attach and lock care modules with different functions, either alone or in combination with the support frame module 200. The connection devices 12 are slidably fitted onto the vertical rod 210 and locked to the vertical rod 210 via the first locking holes 212. Care modules with different functions can be attached and locked to the vertical rod 210 via the first locking holes 212 and the connection devices 12, which are located on one side of the support frame module 200, allowing for easy and quick height adjustment. In addition to the first locking holes, the first mounting holes on the connecting plate and the second mounting holes on the chassis unit can also be used as connection interfaces for attaching care modules. That is, the connection interfaces in the connection module 10 can include, but are not limited to, the first locking holes 212, the first mounting holes 222, and the second mounting holes 115. In some application situations, the care module can be attached to the host module 1 by directly coupling with a corresponding coupling interface without the aid of a coupling device. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , to achieve easy and quick height adjustment, the coupling device 12 further includes a height adjustment device 311. The height adjustment device 311 is fitted to the vertical rod 210 and has positioning pins 3110 that couple with and engage with the multiple first locking holes 212 of the vertical rod 210. The number of positioning pins 3110 may be one or more to reliably lock the protection rail 320 to the vertical rod 210. The coupling device 12 further includes a switch operation unit 3111 that operates to couple or uncouple the positioning pins 3110 and the first locking holes 212.
[0050] 2 in conjunction with FIG. 1, the host module 1 may also include multiple support rods 130, 140 of different shapes that traverse multiple connecting plates 220. The support rods 130 are attached and locked via first mounting holes 222, second locking holes 224, and locking portions 226, and are suspended above the connecting plates 220. They are positioned in front of the user (based on the vertical rod 210 of the host module 1, with the user side facing forward and the caregiver side facing backward) and are used by the user or caregiver for gripping or support. In one embodiment, the support rods 130 may be hollow cylindrical metal tubes to maintain a certain degree of rigidity and load-bearing strength.
[0051] The support rod 140 is attached and locked via the first mounting hole 222, the second locking hole 224, and the locking portion 226. It is suspended above the connecting plate 220 and positioned behind the user (the user side is the front and the caregiver side is the rear, with the vertical rod 210 of the host module 1 as the base point), allowing the user or caregiver to operate the movement of the host module 1. The support rod 140 is provided with two symmetrical handles 142, one at each end of the support rod 140. The handles 142 are approximately L-shaped and located in the upper space between the multiple connecting plates 220. The handles 142 can be molded integrally with the support rod 140. Alternatively, the handles 142 can be molded separately and then attached to the support rod 140 by welding, fitting, or other methods. The two handles 142 are each provided with a control grip 144, which is connected to and controls two braking devices 129 symmetrically provided on the chassis unit 110, so that a caregiver or user can easily operate and control the movement of the host module 1 through the control grip 144. In this case, the support rod 140 can function as the push module 3.
[0052] Depending on needs, the support rod 140 can have different orientations when attached to multiple connecting plates 220 to achieve different functions. When the handle 142 and control grip 144 of the support rod 140 face the caregiver, the caregiver can operate the movement of the host module 1. When the handle 142 and control grip 144 of the support rod 140 face the user, the handle 142 and control grip 144 can be used by the user to operate, grasp, or support the host module 1 to move it, and the user can then use the host module 1 to perform stand-up training and / or walking training. When the user stands on the mobility module chassis unit 110, the user can use the host module 1 to perform stand-up training or simple walking practice.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 4 in conjunction with Figures 1 and 2. Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view of a host module according to one embodiment of the present invention. To achieve at least one or more of the above advantages, this embodiment can be configured with care modules of different functions, including at least the host module 1 and a push module 3. The push module 3 is mounted on the host module 1 and can control the operation of the host module 2. The push module 3 can have different shapes and structures, such as the support rod 130 and support rod 140.
[0054] The push module 3 may include a mounting support frame 32, a handrail 34, and multiple control grips 36. The mounting support frame 32 is mounted above the connecting plate 220 of the support frame module 200 via multiple first mounting holes 222. The handrail 34, which is generally U-shaped, is attached and fixed to one side of the mounting support frame 32 and is located above the short support leg 123 of the caster set 120 of the mobility module 100, and is used by users and caregivers for gripping and support. The multiple control grips 36 are fitted and fixed to the handrail 34 facing the mounting support frame 32 to control the operation of the host module 2. The control grips 36 are connected to and control two brake devices 129 symmetrically mounted on the chassis unit 110 to control the operation of the host module 2. See FIGS. 2 and 4 . In one embodiment, the brake device 129 includes an operating lever 1291 and a brake lever 1292. The operating lever 1291 is connected to the control grip 36 by a brake cable (not shown) and is linked to the brake lever 1292 using the principle of leverage. In this way, by tightening or loosening the control grip 36 on the handrail 34, the user can link the operating lever 1291 and operate the brake lever so that it touches or leaves the ground, thereby performing the braking function. Therefore, the two symmetrically mounted brake devices 129 and the corresponding two control grips 36 form a complete braking module, improving the safety of the host module 2 during movement. Of course, the elements and coupling operation method of the braking module described here are merely examples, and other braking modules with the same or similar functions can be used instead. The mounting support frame 32 is assembled with multiple mounting parts via multiple rods and then installed above the connecting plate 220 of the support frame module 200 via multiple first mounting holes 222. Both ends of the handrail 34 are attached and locked to the mounting support frame 32 via multiple mounting parts. The mounting portion of the mounting support frame 32 is provided with a hook ring 38 for suspending an object such as a sling.
[0055] When using the host module 2 for stand-up training, the user can stand on the chassis unit 110 of the mobile module 100 and hold onto the mounting support frame 32 of the push module 3. At this time, a sling can be used to support the user's buttocks, with both ends of the sling hanging from the hooks 38 of the mounting support frame 32, providing a certain tension and sufficient load-bearing capacity to protect the user.
[0056] Referring again to FIG. 4, in one embodiment, the host module 2 may further include an abutment module 500 provided on the support frame module 200 of the host module 1. Specifically, the abutment module 500 is engaged with the vertical rod 210 of the support frame module 200 via the first engaging holes 212. The abutment module 500 has an adjustment function, allowing its position to be adjusted up, down, forward, or backward depending on the usage situation.
[0057] The abutment module 500 may include a mounting frame 501 and a support pad 502. The mounting frame 501 is fastened to the vertical rod 210 of the support frame module 200 through these first fastening holes 212. The support pad 502 is provided on the mounting frame 501 facing the user to support the user's knees and assist the user in changing posture between sitting and standing. In different usage scenarios, the abutment module 500 can be used not only to support the knees and legs, but also to support body parts such as the torso, head, and hands.
[0058] 4 to 6, in one embodiment, the host module 2 may include a mounting module 300 provided on the host module 1. The mounting module 300 may have a variety of care functions. The mounting module 300 includes at least two mounting bases 310, two protection rails 320, a back support assembly 330, and two loading plates 340.
[0059] The two mounting bases 310 are fitted to the support frame module 200 of the host module 1 and can be mounted and fixed at different positions / heights on the host module 1 depending on the function and usage needs of the mounting module 300. As shown in the figure, the two mounting bases 310 are fitted to the vertical rods 210 and then attached and locked through the first locking holes 212, thereby being fitted to the vertical rods 210 of the support frame module 200 of the host module 1. One end of each of the two protection rails 320 is pin-connected to the two mounting bases 310. The two protection rails 320 can rotate horizontally around the mounting bases 310 and can be extended outward or folded inward. The other ends of the two protection rails 320 are connected and fixed to the back support assembly 330. The mounting module 300 further includes an automatic locking and positioning device 328 that automatically locks the guard rail 320 when the guard rail 320 is rotated into position relative to the mounting base 310 and limits horizontal rotation of the guard rail 320 .
[0060] In some embodiments, the mounting base 310 can be fitted to the coupling device 12, and each guard rail 320 has a pin connection device 321 at the end of the guard rail 320 closest to the vertical rod 210. The automatic locking positioning device 328 includes at least one positioning hole 3281 and at least one positioning pin 3282 corresponding to the mounting base 310 and the guard rail 320, respectively. When the guard rail 320 is closed or in a specific orientation, the positioning pin 3282 on the mounting base 310 or the guard rail 320 automatically locks into the positioning hole 3281 on the guard rail 320 or the mounting base 310. As shown in FIG. 5 , the mounting base 310 and the coupling device 12 are integrally coupled, i.e., the mounting base 310 in this embodiment also functions as the coupling device 12, and the height of the mounting module 300 can be easily and quickly adjusted by operating the height adjustment device 311. The pin connecting device 321 is provided with a pin connecting hole 3210 for fitting onto the rotation shaft of the mounting base 310. The positioning hole 3281 of the automatic locking and positioning device 328 is provided on the pin connecting device 321, and the positioning pin 3282 is provided on the mounting base 310. When the protection rail 320 is closed or in a specific orientation, the positioning pin 3282 of the automatic locking and positioning device 328 is automatically locked into the positioning hole 3281, limiting the horizontal rotation of the protection rail 320. When it is desired to rotate the protection rail 320 again, the user simply presses the release button 3283 provided on the mounting base 310 and connected to the positioning pin 3282, which causes the positioning pin 3282 to separate from the positioning hole 3281 and release the automatic locking and positioning state.
[0061] Each protection rail 320 includes at least two long rods 322, 323. The two long rods 322, 323 are arranged parallel to one another and connected and fixed via multiple connecting rods (not shown), with a fixed gap between them. A pin connecting device 321 and a pin connecting and locking device 326 are provided at both ends of the long rods 322, 323, respectively, for mounting and locking, and the two long rods 322, 323 are attached and fixed so that they are positioned on the same plane. One end of each protection rail 320 is pin-connected and fixed to the mounting base 310 via the pin connecting device 321, and the other end is pin-connected and fixed to the backrest assembly 330 via the pin connecting and locking device 326. 6, these pin connection locking devices 326 consist of a pin connection sleeve 3261 fitted onto a vertical connecting rod (not shown) and a hook-shaped locking connection part 336 provided on the side edge of the backrest assembly 330, and the pin connection sleeve 3261 has a positioning groove 3262. In addition to the connecting rod, in other embodiments, the pin connection sleeve 3261 can also be fitted onto a vertical rod on one side of the guard rail.
[0062] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 5A , the lower long rod 323 of each protection rail 320 is horizontally mounted on the bottom of the protection rail 320 as a rotation axis for the load plate 300. A number of spacer pins 345 are provided on this rotation axis 323. Two load plates 340 are rotatably mounted on the bottom or lower rotation axis 323 of the two protection rails 320. One side of each load plate 340 is provided with a pin connection groove 346 that is fitted into the rotation axis 323. The pin connection groove 346 may be a U-shaped groove. A number of elongated holes 347 are provided in the pin connection groove 346 to fit into the number of spacer pins 345, allowing the load plate 340 to be positioned horizontally to support a load or to be folded up to fit tightly against the protection rail 320. When the loading plate 340 is flipped up, the pin connection groove 346 rotates around the rotation axis 323 to prevent the flipped up loading plate 340 from falling and affecting the use of the protective rail 320 during use, and can be fixed with a snap pin 348 when approaching the protective rail 320. When the loading plate 340 is flipped up and tightly attached to the protective rail 320, the mounting module 300 can perform functions other than riding, for example, allowing the user to use the mounting module 300 as support. When a user stands on two loading plates 340 arranged horizontally, the backrest assembly 330 can support and protect the user's back. When the loading plate 340 is not needed, it can be quickly removed by flipping it up, making it easier to use the mounting module 300 for functions other than riding.
[0063] The loading plate 340 is mounted below or at the bottom of the protection rail 320. The loading plate 340 is removably mounted at the bottom of the protection rail 320 via a pin connection groove 346 and can rotate about a rotation axis 323. The loading plate 340 has an arcuate portion 342. When the two loading plates 340 are placed flat and closed, the two arcuate portions 342 face each other to form an opening 344. At this time, a user can stand on the two loading plates 340. That is, the mounting module 300 can carry a user. Furthermore, the opening 344 formed when the two loading plates 340 are placed flat and closed corresponds to the size of a toilet seat opening so that disabled people can use the toilet.
[0064] 4 and 5 again, the backrest assembly 330 includes a backrest base 332 and a backrest 334. The backrest base 332 has a plurality of hook-shaped locking connectors 336 and a backrest mounting base 338. Each hook-shaped locking connector 336 includes a locking portion 337 that is connected to and locked with a pin connecting tube sleeve 3261 of the protection rail 320. The backrest mounting base 338 is provided above the backrest base 332 or in another appropriate position and can be used to insert different types of backrests 334. The backrest mounting base 338 can be used to removably mount the backrest 334 using backrest bases 332 of other structures other than those with two backrest sockets. In one embodiment, the backrest base 332 is a flat plate, with hook-shaped locking connectors 336 located on both sides of the plate. These hook-shaped locking connectors 336 are connected to and locked into the positioning grooves 3262 of the pin connecting sleeves 3261 of the protection rails 320, respectively. This allows the vertical and front-to-back positions of the two protection rails 320 to be aligned. Furthermore, when only one hook-shaped locking connector 336 of the backrest base 332 is locked into the pin connecting sleeves 3261, the backrest base 332 can rotate at any angle relative to the pin connecting sleeves 3261. The backrest mounting base 338 shown in FIG. 5A consists of two backrest sockets located in the center of the rear of the backrest base. The backrest mounting base 338 can be used to mount different types of backrests 334 according to different situations and needs. The hook-like locking connections and pin-connector sleeves 3261 on both sides of the back support 332 may be snap-on, snap-on or other quick-release locking devices.

Figure 8 is a schematic perspective view of an example of a support module of the nursing care device of Figure 7. Figure 9 is a schematic perspective plan view of the support module of Figure 7.
[0066] Please refer to FIG. 7 in addition to FIGS. 2 and 4. When mounting the mounting module 300 on the host module 2, a support module 20 mounted on the support frame module 200 of the host module 1 may be further included. The support module 20 can be used together with the mounting module 300 as an auxiliary device, or can be combined with the host module 1 alone. The support module 20 includes at least two stowage rods 22, two support devices 24, and two control grips 26. Each stowage rod 22 has a plurality of mounting pins 202. The structure of the stowage rods 22 shown in the figure is the same as or similar to that of the connecting plate 220, but may be different. The two stowage rods 22 are horizontally mounted on the connecting plate 200 via first locking holes 222 and mounting pins 202, respectively, and are locked via second locking holes 224 and locking portions 226. Two support devices 24 are provided on each of the two stowage rods 22.
[0067] Each support device 24 includes a mounting frame set 242, a support portion 244, and a support pad 246. The mounting frame set 242 is fitted onto and fixed to the stowage bar 22, and the support portion 244 and the support pad 246 are adjustably fixed to the mounting frame set 242. The distance between the support portion 244 and the mounting frame set 242 can be adjusted left and right along the horizontal direction, and the support pad 246 can be rotated 360 degrees relative to the mounting frame set 242 in the horizontal plane to adjust the angle and position at which it is fixed. Two control grips 26 are provided on each mounting frame set 242 to control the operation of the host module 2.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 8 in conjunction with Figure 7. In one embodiment, the support module 20 may further include a support device 28. The support device 28 is assembled from a plurality of adjustment rods 280, and is generally U-shaped overall, with both ends attached to two mounting frame sets 242, respectively, and positioned above the two support devices 24.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 9 in addition to Figures 7 and 8. More specifically, the mounting frame set 242 of the support device 24 includes a mounting portion 2422, a mounting support 2424, a mounting plate 2426, and a plurality of locking portions 2428. The mounting portion 2422 is slidably fitted and locked to the stowage bar 22 for loading and mounting the mounting support 2424. The mounting support 2424 is adjustably mounted to the mounting portion 2422. After being mounted and fixed, the mounting support 2424 is perpendicular to the stowage bar 22, and the mounting height can be adjusted along the vertical direction relative to the stowage bar 22. The mounting plate 2426 is mounted on the mounting support 2424 along a horizontal plane for loading the support pad 246. The support pad 246 can be rotated 360 degrees relative to the mounting plate 2426 within the horizontal plane to adjust the angle and position of the support pad 246. A plurality of locking portions 2428 are provided on the mounting support 2424 so that the control grip 26 can be attached and fixed to each other.
[0070] The mounting support 2424 includes a horizontal rod 2425 and a vertical rod 2427, and has a generally T-shape overall. Mounting rods 2429 are provided on both ends of the horizontal rod 2425, and the mounting rods 2429 are adjustably attached and fixed to both ends of an adjustment rod 280 of the support device 28. The height of the support device 28 can be adjusted along the vertical direction, and the width can be adjusted along the horizontal direction.
[0071] The mounting portion 2422 of the mounting frame set 242 has a groove on one side and a locking hole on the side of the groove. The mounting portion 2422 slides onto the loading bar 22 through the groove, and when slid to a predetermined position, it locks onto the loading bar via the locking hole. The vertical rod 2427 of the mounting support 2424 is locked through the through-hole of the mounting portion 2422. The overall height of the support module 20 can be adjusted by adjusting the mounting height of the vertical rod 2427 along the vertical direction. The mounting plate 2426 is a thin, approximately oval plate that is attached and fixed above the horizontal rod 2425 of the mounting support 2424 with screws or the like. The support pad 246 is rotatably attached to the mounting plate 2426. Multiple locking portions 2428 are provided on both ends of the horizontal rod 2425 of the mounting support 2424, one of which connects and fixes the control grip 26. The locking portion 2428 is provided with a hook-like structure for supporting weight, for example, by hanging a sling from the hook-like structure to support the weight. The control grip 26 is provided with a control grip and a control button to make it easier to operate the host module 2. The support portion 244 includes a support pad and a support mounting rod. A mounting seat device is provided at the connection portion of the horizontal rod 2425 and the vertical rod 2427 of the mounting support 2424. The support mounting rod of the support portion 244 has a fixed length and is adjustably attached to the mounting seat device at the connection portion of the horizontal rod 2425 and the vertical rod 2427 of the mounting support 2424, thereby allowing the distance between the two support portions 244 on the same horizontal plane to be adjusted.
[0072] One end of each mounting rod 2429 provided at each end of the horizontal rod 2425 of the mounting support 2424 is fitted and locked to one end of the horizontal rod 2425, and the other end has a positioning pin. The support device 28 is assembled from multiple adjustment rods 280 and has a generally U-shape overall. The multiple adjustment rods 280 include two U-shaped adjustment rods 280 with multiple mounting holes at both ends. The mounting holes at both ends of each U-shaped adjustment rod 280 are connected and fixed to the positioning pins of the two mounting rods 2429 of the mounting support 2424. The vertical installation height of the support device 28 can be adjusted by adjusting the engagement position between the mounting holes of the U-shaped adjustment rods 280 and the positioning pins of the mounting rods 2429. The two U-shaped adjustment rods 280 are connected and locked by two straight adjustment rods 281. One end of each of the two straight-rod-shaped adjusting rods 281 is attached to and locked with the U-shaped adjusting rod 280, and the other end is provided with the same number of mounting holes, through which the rods are horizontally fastened. The horizontal mounting interval of the support devices 28 can be adjusted by adjusting the fastening positions of the mounting holes of the two straight-rod-shaped adjusting rods 281. Elastic buffer sleeves can be fitted to the adjusting rods 280, 281 to increase the comfort of the support devices 28. The elastic buffer sleeves can be made of various elastic materials.
[0073] When a user stands on the chassis unit 110 of the host module 2, the two support portions 244 of the support device 24 can support the user's lower back, and the two support pads 246 can support the user's hands. If the user lacks upper body muscle strength, the support device 28 can support and hold the user's chest and abdomen to prevent the user from leaning when standing up, allowing the user to stand more stably on the nursing care device. In addition, the support device 28 can be positioned under the user's armpits to better support and support the user. In this way, a user with a disability can use the host module 2 to perform simple exercises and practice, such as standing up.
[0074] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12 in addition to Figures 1 and 4. Figure 10 is a schematic perspective view of a nursing care device according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 is a schematic perspective view of an example of a large wheel module of the nursing care device of Figure 10. Figure 12 is a schematic perspective view of the large wheel module of Figure 11 in use.
[0075] Please refer to FIG. 10 in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 4. To further enhance or increase the care functions of the host module 2, a single device can be used for multiple purposes. The host module 2 can include a large wheel module 600 mounted on the host module 2. The large wheel module 600 includes at least two mounting frames 610, a first horizontal bar 620, two braking mechanisms 630, and two large wheels 640. The two mounting frames 610 are symmetrically mounted on the vertical bar 210 of the support frame module 200 and the caster set 120 of the mobility module 100. Each caster set 120 includes a long support leg 121 and a short support leg 123, and the mounting frame 610 is mounted on the long support leg 121. Both ends of the first horizontal bar 620 are connected and fixed to the two mounting frames 610, respectively, to enhance the mounting stability of the two mounting frames 610. The two braking mechanisms 630 are each fitted to a large wheel axle 615 and linked to a large wheel 640. The two large wheels 640 are connected to and locked with large wheel axle hole devices 616 provided on the mounting frame 610 via the large wheel axle 615, and are located outside the mounting frame 610.
[0076] As shown in FIG. 11 , the large wheel module 600 may further include a lifting device 650 attached to the lower locking device 612 of the mounting frame 610 (or symmetrically attached to the caster set 120 of the moving module 100). Operating the lifting device 650 allows the height of the caster set 120 connected to the mounting frame 610 to be adjusted. That is, operating the lifting device 650 allows the height of the long support leg 121 of the caster set 120 to be adjusted, lifting the swivel set 122 of the long support leg 121 a certain distance from the ground to facilitate attachment of the large wheel 640 to the mounting frame 610, after which the large wheel 640 is used as a wheel for the long support leg 121 of the caster set 120. Each lifting device 650 includes at least a lifting frame 651 and spacer tweezers 652. The lifting device 650 is used to lift the caster set 120 attached to it to facilitate attachment or detachment of the large wheel 640 to or from the mounting frame 610. That is, first, the two lift frames are lowered to contact the ground, and the spacer pins 652 are used to restrict upward rotation, and then force is applied in the direction of the front wheels using the push module 3. Using the point where the lift frame 651 contacts the ground as a fulcrum, the swivel wheel set 122 of the long support leg 121 is lifted a certain distance from the ground. At this point, the lift frame 651 has just passed its highest point and is placed in a stable, stationary state by the restriction of another spacer pin 652. In this way, the large wheels 640 can be easily attached to or detached from the mounting frame 610.
[0077] After the large wheel 640 is attached, the large wheel 640 is used as a wheel of the long support leg 121 of the caster set 120. At this time, the large wheel module 600 is used as a wheel of the host module 2 in conjunction with the short support leg 123 of the caster set 120 of the mobility module 100. The host module 2 can be used as a wheelchair outdoors, allowing the user to perform daily living activities outdoors using the host module 2.
[0078] More specifically, each mounting frame 610 of the large wheel module 600 includes at least an upper locking device 611 and a lower locking device 612. The upper locking device 611 is connected to and locks with the long support leg 121 of the castor set 120 of the movement module 100. The lifting device 650 is provided on the lower locking device 612 of the mounting frame 610. In this way, the large wheel module 600 can be easily and quickly attached and detached.
[0079] The large wheel module 600 may further include a first horizontal bar 620 and an electric drive wheel 660. Both ends of the first horizontal bar 620 are removably fixed to the two mounting frames 610, respectively. The electric drive wheel 660 is provided at the center of the first horizontal bar 620 to drive and move the host module 1.
[0080] The mounting module 300, abutment module 500, large wheel module 600, and support module 20 of the host module 2 can be installed on the host module 1 individually or in different combinations depending on the needs of the usage scenario. That is, the host module 2 can achieve multiple uses with one device by combining the host module 1 with the mounting module 300, abutment module 500, large wheel module 600, and support module 20, and these modules can be quickly disassembled and assembled, making them convenient to carry and use.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 13 in addition to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 13 is a schematic perspective view of a suspension device according to an embodiment of the present invention. To achieve at least one or more of the above advantages, one embodiment of the present invention proposes a suspension device 4 that includes at least the host module 1 and a suspension frame module 700, which is disposed above the host module 1 and allows a user to perform various exercise training, such as rehabilitation. The suspension frame module 700 may include at least a plurality of support columns 710 and at least two suspension arms 720.
[0082] The multiple support columns 710 are vertically mounted on the connecting plates 220 through the first mounting holes 222 and are locked via the second locking holes 224 and locking portions 226. Depending on the usage scenario and function, the multiple support columns 710 are mounted and locked to different first mounting holes 222 on the connecting plates 220. That is, the spacing between two support columns 710 mounted on the same connecting plate 220 can be selected and adjusted according to usage needs. One ends of the two hanging arms 720 are mounted on the multiple support columns 710 and positioned above the connecting plates 220.
[0083] The support columns 710 may be cylindrical tubes having a certain length and the same diameter, but are not limited thereto. The support columns 710 may also be telescopic cylindrical tubes, which allow the vertical mounting height of the two suspension arms 720 to be adjusted. In this case, the telescopic support columns 710 are provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and by adjusting the locking positions of these mounting holes, the vertical mounting height of the support columns 710, and further the vertical mounting height of the suspension arms 720, can be adjusted. In this case, as shown in FIG. 14 , a connecting rod 711 can be attached between two adjacent support columns 710 on the same connecting plate 220 to improve the mounting stability of the support columns 710 in the suspension frame module 700. The ends of the suspension arms 720 away from the support columns 710 can be provided with hooks for suspending or hanging objects.
[0084] In a specific embodiment, the suspension frame module 700 may further include a stowage frame 730 installed on the upper ends of the plurality of support poles 710 for mounting two suspension arms 720. The two suspension arms 720 may also be directly mounted to the support poles 710 via other mounting hooks.
[0085] The stowage frame 730 includes at least two long rods 732, at least two short rods 734, and a plurality of locking supports 736. The number of locking supports 736 corresponds one-to-one to the number of support columns 710. The locking supports 736 are attached and locked to the upper ends of the support columns 710 (in the illustration, the ends of the support columns 710 away from the connecting plate 220). The two long rods 732 and the two short rods 734 are attached and locked to the upper ends of the plurality of support columns 710 via the locking supports 736 so as to span parallel to each other. After locking, the long rods 732 and the short rods 734 are positioned perpendicular to each other and on the same plane. The locking supports 736 have grooves 738 formed at their tops. After the long rods 732, short rods 734, and locking supports 736 are installed on the support columns 710, one end of the suspension arm 720 is inserted into the groove 738 of the locking support 736 to which it is loaded. Then, the locking supports 736 are locked to lock the suspension arm 720 to the locking supports 736, and the suspension arm 720 is then attached above the stowage frame 730. After locking, the suspension arm 720 is parallel to the short rods 734 of the stowage frame 730 and located above the short rods 734. The installation of the stowage frame 730 can improve the stability and support strength of the suspension frame module 700.
[0086] To enhance the versatility and overall practicality of the suspension device 4, the latching support 736 of the loading frame 730 may be provided with a hook 7361 for suspending or hanging an object. The hook 736 may be a J-shaped hook or a hook ring that is fastened via a screw. Handlebars 733 may be provided at both ends of the long rod 732 of the loading frame 730 for users to grasp and support. To accommodate various situations, the handlebars 733 may be removably fixed to both ends of the long rod 732. In one use scenario, a user can stand on the chassis unit 110 of the mobility module 100 and grasp the handlebars 733 of the long rod 732 to perform stand-up exercises or other functional training.
[0087] The suspension device 4 may include a second horizontal bar 740 that is suspended across two suspension arms 720 and located at the ends of the suspension arms 720 that are farther from the loading frame 730 or the support column 710. In a specific embodiment, both ends of the second horizontal bar 740 are respectively attached to the two suspension arms 720 via locking portions 740. In this case, the second horizontal bar 740 is fixed to the two suspension arms 720 and can be used as a horizontal bar for a user to perform extension exercises. For example, during rehabilitation, a user can use the second horizontal bar 740 to train the upper limbs or hands. In one embodiment, handlebars 733 that the user can use for gripping and support can be further provided at both ends of the second horizontal bar 740. For example, a user can stand between the two long support legs 121 of the leg ring set 120 and grasp the second horizontal bar 740 and its handlebars 733 to perform stand-up exercises or other functional training.
[0088] One end of the locking connector 741 may be provided with a hook for suspending or hanging an object. In actual use, the attachment position of the locking connector 741 on the suspension arm 720 can be adjusted forward or backward along the suspension arm 720 according to usage needs. That is, the attachment position of the second horizontal bar 740 on the suspension arm 720 can be adjusted forward or backward along the suspension arm 720, which makes it convenient for users to use the suspension device 4 to perform limb rehabilitation exercises.
