Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Conventionally, physically disabled patients undergoing inpatient treatment at a hospital, bedridden elderly people, and physically disabled individuals attempting to return to society have sometimes had to rely on caregivers to take care of their personal needs. In many cases, this assistance places a heavy burden on the caregiver, and also causes the disabled person to have to worry about himself or herself, which hinders the independent living of the disabled person. In addition, as a medical equipment unit similar to this, there is a device disclosed in Utility Model Application No. 114587/1987 developed by the present applicant, but this device includes a channel indicator for identifying equipment of electrical equipment in the residential environment and a device for identifying the equipment. They are not arranged centrally with manual operation switches in mind, but some of them are connected to
They were only scattered along with input/output terminals, and their aggregation was insufficient. Furthermore, the channel display and manual operation switch were not arranged in a manner that clearly indicated their correspondence, and the configuration was not sufficiently easy to use. Furthermore, it is not easy for a patient/disabled person to select and operate the equipment without moving his or her body much, and even this can be a burden for severely ill patients.

The present invention aims to solve these problems, reduce the burden on caregivers, and provide a medical equipment unit that facilitates independent living for patients.

This device is designed to install operating circuits for electrical devices in the patient's living environment, such as communication devices, bed posture control devices, blind opening/closing devices, and televisions, installed in hospital rooms and treatment rooms or rooms for physically disabled people in general housing, by placing them near the patient's bed. At the same time, in the same equipment unit, selection channel indicators for residential environment electrical equipment and their manual operation switches are arranged in two rows, one above the other in a straight line. The patient remote control panel is equipped with a selection switch for making a selection and an operation switch for operating the selected residential environment electrical equipment, and the residential environment electrical equipment that can be operated by one activation of the selection switch is provided for a predetermined period of time. The present invention relates to a medical equipment unit characterized in that the selection channels of the electrical appliances in the residential environment that have been selected are sequentially changed, and at the same time, the selected residential environment electrical equipment is displayed on a selection channel display.

Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First Embodiment (See Figures 1 to 10) The first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 10 is an equipment unit installed in a hospital for critically ill patients, and includes medical instruments such as a medical gas supply device and a suction device. The outlets, inlets, input/output terminals, and control section of the equipment are integrated into the medical panel panel of the equipment unit attached to the wall near the bed in the hospital room, and the selection channel display is mounted on the same medical panel panel and a movable remote display panel. It is of a structure in which the devices that can be operated can be changed by installing and turning the selection switch once, and at the same time, the channel display can be sequentially advanced.

In the figure, 1 is a medical panel fixed to the wall of the hospital room, 2 is a suction port, 3 is a medical gas outlet, 4 is a nurse call, 5 is a ground terminal, 6 is a power outlet, 7 is a reading light, 8 is a power switch, 9 is a scan switch, 9' is a scan display, 10 is a manual operation switch, 11 and 11' are selection channel indicators, 12
13 is a bed, 14 is a remote display board, 15 is a movable arm for mounting the remote display board, 16 is a bed.
is the holder of the movable arm, 17 is the horizontal pivot axis of the movable arm that is inserted into the holder, 18 is the rotary connection tube of the remote display panel, 19 is the display light emitting diode, 20 is the selection switch of the remote control panel, 21 is an operation switch for operating the equipment, 22 is various residential environment electrical equipment, 23 is a control circuit for the residential environment electrical equipment, and 24 is a remote control panel.

In this embodiment, the remote display panel 14 is set in advance at a position and angle that are easy for the patient on the bed 12 by pivoting the movable mounting arm 15 or rotating it around the rotary connecting tube 18. When the patient remains lying on the bed 12 and presses the selection switch 20 on the remote control panel 24 once, the control circuit 23 sequentially displays the selected channels on the selection channel indicators 11 and 11' on the remote display panel 14. Residential environment electrical equipment 22 that can be advanced and operated
is changed, and at the same time a scan display 9' is also made. Next, the required sorting channel display 11,1
When the selection display scan display 9' arrives at the position 1', if the patient turns on the operation switch 21, the desired living environment electrical equipment 22 will be activated.
When selecting another channel, the selection switch 20 is turned on and the channel starts to advance. Alternatively, the patient or his or her caregiver can directly select and operate the manual operation switch 10 fixed to the medical panel 1.

Second Embodiment (See Fig. 11) The second embodiment shown in Fig. 11 is a medical equipment unit for physically disabled people that can be used in the living room of a general residence. This is an example of a simple equipment unit in which direct medical equipment such as outlets and suction ports are not incorporated, only residential environment electrical equipment is integrated into a movable box 25, and a movable remote display panel is not installed. be. The second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that there is no remote display panel and no equipment such as a gas outlet.

As described above, according to the present invention, the operation circuits for electrical devices in the living environment necessary for the patient's bed life are integrated into the equipment unit placed near the patient's bed, thereby reducing the complexity of the patient's room. This makes it easier to connect electrical equipment. In addition, by using the dual selection switch and operation switch on the patient remote control panel 24, even critically ill patients and those with severe physical disabilities can use the remaining functions to control the living environment electrical equipment 22 necessary for the patient's bed life. It can be operated by one's own will, and has the effect of not only making it easier for patients with both severe and minor disabilities to live independently, but also reducing the burden on caregivers. Furthermore, since the equipment unit's selection channel display and manual operation switch are arranged in two straight rows, upper and lower, the equipment channel display is easy to see and selection and switch operation are facilitated.

Furthermore, by turning on the selection switch on the remote control panel once, the residential environment electrical devices that can be operated are changed sequentially at predetermined intervals, and at the same time, the selected residential environment electrical devices are displayed on the sorting channel display. This makes it even easier to use, allowing you to select devices remotely without having to move much on the bed.
