Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a bathing pedestal structure.

[Conventional technology and its problems] Conventionally, people who have difficulty standing up and walking, such as elderly people or people with physical disabilities, were placed lying down on a transferable stretcher attached to a transport vehicle from a bed, and transported to a bathtub in a bathroom, and the person was then transferred. A bathing device has been proposed that allows the person to take a bath along with the stretcher without having to stand up or have a caregiver lift him up. However, in the above-mentioned bathing device, a pantograph-type elevating mechanism is provided for the underframe that supports the stretcher, and this elevating mechanism is further driven by a cylinder-type hydraulic lift installed in the bathtub. Bathing equipment has become bulky and very expensive.

Furthermore, there is a known device in which a simple bathtub body such as a stretcher type is placed on a bathing pedestal so that the user can take a bath on the bathing pedestal.

However, when using this simple bathtub body, it is difficult to transfer a person who has difficulty standing up and walking from the bed to the bathing pedestal, requiring several people to lift the person, and it also puts strain on the person (for example, a sick person) and causes pain. It had the disadvantage of having to remember many things. Another problem was that the hot water in the bathtub body cooled down during bathing.

[Purpose of the invention] The object of the present invention is to provide a bathing pedestal structure that allows a person who has difficulty standing up and walking to be easily transferred onto the bathing pedestal and prevents the water from cooling down.

[Summary of the invention] In order to achieve the above object, the bathing pedestal structure of the present invention is provided with an upper body washing part and a lower body washing part spaced apart from each other on the frame, and a waist washing part between the two washing parts. The receiving portion is provided so as to be slidable laterally, and at least one washing receiving portion is provided with a heating element.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, the bathing pedestal A has a rectangular bed shape as a whole, and a part of the pillow part 1b is cut out. A back frame 2 having an upper body washing part 1 with a cutout 1a and a foot frame 4 having a lower body washing part 3 are connected by left and right side plates 5 at intervals.

The upper body washing section 1 and the lower body washing section 3 have a built-in heating device 6 such as a sheathed heater for heating and keeping the surfaces thereof warm.

As shown in FIG. 2, the back frame 2 and the foot frame 4 are connected by an inverted U-shaped guide plate 7 to form a sliding space 9 for the waist wash receiving part 8, thereby forming a bathing pedestal A.

Further, the waist washing section 8, like the upper body washing section 1 and the lower body washing section 3, has a built-in heating device 6 such as a sheathed heater for heating and keeping the surface warm.

A waist washing receiving part 8 provided on a waist frame 10 is attached to the sliding space 9 via a sliding mechanism B so as to be slidable in the left and right direction.

The waist frame 10 has a housing shape, and the bottom plate 1
A left-right directional caster 11 is provided at 0a.

The horizontal widths of the waist frame 10 and the waist washing receiving part 8 are smaller than the widths of the upper body washing receiving part 1 and the lower body washing receiving part 3 by a left and right sliding width.

Furthermore, a guide rail 7a for the caster 11 is provided at the bottom of the guide plate 7.

It goes without saying that an appropriate structure may be used as the sliding mechanism, such as connecting a forward/reverse rotation motor (not shown) to the caster 11.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a blanket 13 forming a hollow part 13a to which a hot air blower 12 is connected is detachably provided at one end of the foot frame 4.

Additionally, a wall 14 for preventing hot water from flowing out along the length of the bathing pedestal A is attached via a hinge (not shown) or the like.

In addition, 15 is a drain provided in the upper body washing part 1;
Reference numeral 6 indicates a drain port provided in the lower body washing area 3, 17 indicates a drain pipe, 18 indicates a pillow that can be detachably attached to the notch portion 1a, 19 indicates a gasket provided on the wall body 14, and 20 indicates a moving bath device. It is a caster to make it happen.

Therefore, the bathing pedestal A is moved to the side of the bed where the elderly, sick, etc. are sleeping, and the person C sleeping on the bed is transferred to the bathing pedestal A.

In this case, the surfaces of the upper body wash part 1, the lower body wash part 3, and the lower body wash part 8 of the bathing stand A are heated and kept warm by the heating device 6.

Therefore, the back of the person C who has been transferred to the bathing stand A is warmed by the heat from the heating device 6.

Furthermore, as appropriate, as shown in FIG.
A blanket 13 containing warm air from the person C is placed over the person C to warm the body, and in this state the person C's body is washed using hot water in the bathing table A.

Hot water flows out from drain ports 15 and 16 through a drain pipe 17.

In this way, when transferring person C to the original bed after washing his body, as shown in Figure 4 A, with person C lying on his back, bend the knee of his left leg and stand it upright. Slide the waist wash receiver 8 to the left as shown in B. Then, the center of gravity of the body moves to the right, so the caregiver simply lifts Person C's shoulders and buttocks lightly, and the caregiver smoothly places Person C in a lying position as shown in Figure 4, C. After that, the caregiver further pushes Person C's back, etc., and returns Person C to the original bed. It can be transferred to.

Also, during the winter period, a futon is placed over the wash basins 1, 3, and 8 which are heated and kept warm by the heating device 6.
It can also be used as a bed by covering the person C with the blanket 13.

[Effects of the invention] The present invention provides an upper body washing part and a lower body washing part in a frame with an interval between them, a waist washing part that is slidable laterally between the two washing parts, and at least one A heating element is provided in the washing basin, and it is possible to provide a bathing pedestal structure capable of easily transferring a person who has difficulty standing up and walking onto the bathing pedestal, and preventing the water from cooling down.
