Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is applicable to people who are bedridden (in this specification, such people are referred to as " This invention relates to a cared person moving device for moving a cared person (referred to as a cared person) from a bed for bathing, defecation, examination, etc., having the person take a bath, etc., and then returning the cared person to the bed again.

[Problems to be solved by conventional technology and invention]

Conventionally, this work has been done manually because there is no equipment suitable for moving a bedridden care recipient from the bed, having them take a bath, etc., and then returning them to the bed. . However, this is a heavy task that requires multiple caregivers and imposes a heavy burden on the caregivers.

The present invention has been made in an attempt to solve these problems and reduce the burden on caregivers.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention moves the cared person from the bed, has them take a bath, etc.
This provides a device for moving the cared person to return the cared person to the bed. This cared person moving device has multiple horizontal belts for lifting the cared person on the top surface.
A fork in which a plurality of cared person support arms corresponding to the space between a bed and a belt for lifting the cared person are arranged so as to be raised and lowered so as to be independent from each other without being connected to each other. It consists of a lift.

[Effect]

In the cared person moving device according to the present invention, the cared person is always laid down on the cared person lifting belt on the top surface of the bed (Fig. 7), but the cared person is not moved to the bed for bathing, examinations, etc. To move from , do the following:

(1) Raise the cared person lifting belt and lift the cared person upward from the bed (Figures 1 and 2).

(2) Place the cared person support arm of the forklift below the cared person from the space between the cared person lifting belts, and let the cared person support arm support the cared person (Figure 8A, 4 Fig. 6).

(3) With the cared person placed on the cared person support arm, lower the cared person lifting belt to the top of the bed (Figure 8B). Note that (3) may be omitted.

(4) Move the forklift from the bed to the desired position, lower the care recipient support arm, and place the care recipient in, for example, a bathtub (FIG. 8C) or a stretcher (FIG. 8D).

When returning the cared person who has been removed from the bed in this way to the bed again, the above procedure can be performed in reverse.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The code 1 is a bet. On the upper surface of the bed 1, a plurality of care recipient lifting belts 2, 2, . . . in the horizontal direction (in the width direction of the bed as shown in FIG.
Arranged so that it can be raised and lowered freely.

FIG. 1 shows an example of means for lifting and lowering the belts 2, 2, . . . for lifting the cared person. In this example, a belt support rod 5 is installed on the elevating body 4 which is slidably fitted into the guide 3 on both the left and right sides of the bed 1 so as to be able to rise and fall freely, and each of the belts 2 for lifting the cared person is attached to the upper end of the belt support rod 5. One end of a tensioning means 6 such as a wire rope or chain is fixed to the elevating body 4, and the other end of the tensioning means 6 is wound around a winding drum 7 rotated by a motor (not shown).

FIG. 2 shows a modification of the elevating means shown in FIG. In this case, an actuating body 10 is screwed onto threaded rods 9, 9 which are rotated in opposite directions by a motor 8, and the actuating body 10 and the elevating body 4 are connected via a connecting rod 11. When the threaded rods 9, 9 rotate in opposite directions, the operating bodies 10, 10 advance and retreat in the opposite directions, respectively, to raise and lower the elevating bodies 4, 4.

In addition, each of the above-mentioned elevating means can also be attached to the existing bed 1.

Reference numeral 12 is a forklift. The forklift 12 has a plurality of cared person support arms 13, 13... corresponding to the spaces between the cared person lifting belts 2, 2..., which are movable up and down. The cared person support arms 13, 13, . . . are raised and lowered by a tension means 14, such as a wire rope or a chain, which runs vertically by a motor (not shown), for example.
Reference numeral 15 is the caster of the forklift 12, 1
6 is a bathtub, 17 is a stretcher, and 18 is a cared person.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, when a caregiver moves a bedridden care recipient from the bed, takes a bath, etc., and then returns the patient to the bed, the caregiver does not have to support the weight of the care recipient, making the task significantly easier. It can be performed by only one caregiver. Therefore, the burden on caregivers is significantly reduced.
