Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a nursing care device for assisting the activities of a physically disabled person or a bedridden patient.

Various proposals have been made for such nursing care devices, but all of them require a caregiver, and are used by people with physical disabilities, bedridden patients, etc.
A nursing care device that allows a person to act without the help of a caregiver has not yet been realized.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a nursing care device that allows people who require assistance, such as physically disabled or bedridden patients, to act without the help of others. The purpose is to

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a nursing care device 1 is installed, for example, in a bedroom 2 of a Japanese-style house,
It is used to assist the patient sleeping in the bedroom 2 with activities necessary for daily life, such as washing, defecating, and transferring to a wheelchair.

This nursing care device 1 consists of a support 4 that is erected in the vicinity of a sitting position, for example, a bed 3, of a sick person who requires care, and a pivot arm that is supported rotatably around the axis of the support 4 at the top of the support 4. 5, a bending arm 20 rotatably attached to the tip of the swing arm 5, a lifting means 6 provided at the tip of the bending arm 20 to lift up the person requiring care, and the lifting means an operating switch 2 that is movable together with the lifting means 6 and capable of driving the lifting means 6 up and down;
2, and the support 4 at an intermediate position in the vertical direction of the support 4.
and a guide member 7 which is integrally provided so as to surround the pillar 4 and is lifted by the lifting means 6 and which requires care but can be grasped.

The support column 4 is placed on a support plate 9 placed on a tatami mat 8. A support shaft 10 is concentrically and integrally protruded from the upper end of this support 4.
is fitted into the fitting hole 12 of the flange 11. A plurality of stays 13 to 16 (four in the figure) extending laterally are fixed to the flange 11, and these stays 13 to 16 are fixed to a lintel 17 of the bedroom 2 or the like. Therefore, the flange 11 is connected to each stay 13.
- 16, and by fitting the support shaft 10 to the flange 11, the support column 4 is vertically erected and supported.

A swing arm 5 is attached to the support shaft 10 via a bearing 18.
A base portion 5a is rotatably mounted. A bending arm 20 is pivotally supported at the tip of the arm 5 via a pin 19 parallel to the support shaft 10. This bending arm 2
0 is provided with lifting means 6. Lifting means 6
is a hoist to which a bending arm 20 is engaged by a hook 21, and when an operation switch 22 is operated, a hook 24 connected to a wire 23 is driven up and down. The operation switch 22 is connected to the lifting means 6
The operating switch 22 is provided on the lifting means 6 so as to be able to move together with the patient, and the operating switch 22 extends sufficiently downward so that the patient lying on the bed 3 can operate it.

The guide member 7 is formed in a ring shape surrounding the support column 4, and includes a plurality of support members 2 extending in the radial direction.
5 is fixed to the support 4.

When installing such a nursing care device 1, devices necessary for the patient's daily life, such as a simple toilet 26 and a wheelchair 27, are placed in the bedroom 2 with a rotating arm 5.
located within the turning radius of In addition, a band 28 and clothes for hanging the patient are prepared in advance.

Next, to explain the operation of this embodiment, when a sick person lying on the bed 3 is transferred to, for example, a wheelchair 27, the band 27 prepared in front of the patient is transferred to the wheelchair 27.
is attached to the body and engaged with the hook 24, and the operating switch 22 is operated to drive the lifting means 6. Thereby, the driving of the lifting means 6 is stopped in a state in which the body is suspended in the air, and the user grasps the guide member 7 and moves to the position where the wheelchair 27 is located. By the way, the operating switch 22 is movable together with the lifting means 6, so if the patient's body is not located at an appropriate height relative to the wheelchair 27, the patient can use the operating switch 22 to operate the lifting means 6 to raise the height. You can freely adjust the direction. At this time, since the bending arm 20 is rotatable around the pin 19, it is possible to finely adjust the movement position, and by extending the bending arm 20 in the direction of extension of the swing arm 5, the movement range of the patient can be adjusted. can be further expanded from the turning radius of the turning arm 5. In addition, the load on the pillar 4 is applied when lifting a patient, but the pillar 4
Since the support shaft 10 and the flange 11 are simply fitted, no unreasonable load is applied to the lintel 17 or the like.

In addition, if the patient's left or right hand is disabled due to hemiplegia, etc., the relative position of the pillar 4 and the bed 3 may be determined depending on which hand is disabled. . Moreover, the lifting means 6 is
It is desirable to have a safety device that stops further lifting once a certain height is reached during lifting. Furthermore, when using the simple toilet 26,
It is also possible to hang curtains or the like from the stays 14, 15, etc.

As another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, in cases where a large number of sick people need to use the bed in a hospital or the like, a support 4 is erected in the middle of each bed 29, and the bed 29 is rotated. By rotating the arm 5 180 degrees, patients in two adjacent beds 29 can use it.

As described above, according to the present invention, the swing arm 5 is rotatably supported on the upper part of the support column 4, and the bending arm 20 attached to the swing arm 5 has a lifting means 6 at the distal end of the bending arm 20. is established,
The lifting means 6 is provided with an operation switch 22 which is movable together with the lifting means and drives it up and down, and a person in need of nursing care lifted by the lifting means 6 is placed in the middle part of the support column 4 in the vertical direction. Since a guide member 7 that can be moved is provided integrally so as to surround the support column 4, the person who requires nursing care can freely adjust the height by operating the lifting means 6 using the operating switch 22 and suspending the person in the air. By grasping the guide member 7 in the relaxed state,
It can move by itself to any position around the support column 4 within the radius of rotation of the swing arm 5. Therefore, if the necessary equipment is placed within the turning radius, the vehicle can move on its own without the help of an assistant.

Furthermore, since the bending arm 20 is rotatably attached to the distal end of the swing arm 5, by extending the bending arm 20 in the direction of extension of the swing arm 5, the movement range of the swing arm 5 can be reduced.
The turning radius can be further expanded.
