Abstract

PURPOSE:To softly lift a person into one's arm, by a method wherein two main poles are erected on a turnable truck and forks rising and falling by an electromotive means are provided between the main poles and hanger bars are respectively fixed to the leading end and base end forks and a large number of spoon like supports are inserted in and engaged with said hanger bars. CONSTITUTION:The width between hanger bars 33, 33a are increased and base end forks 7, 7 are raised to an appropriate height by a motor 15. The width between the hanger bars 33, 33a is contracted so as to manually insert leading end forks 25 in the base end forks 7, 7. A large number of spoon like support jigs 39 inserted in the hanger bars 33 fixed to the leading end forks 25 are easily inserted between the body of a patient and a bed and the body of the patient becomes the state stably supported on a large number of the spoon like support jigs 39 from both sides thereof. When the forks 7, 7 are raised to an appropriate height, the patient is softly lifted in a lying state and can be moved by a turnable mobile truck 1.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention provides care and assistance for patients who are unable to get up or move by themselves, such as sick people, disabled people, or bedridden elderly people, during eating, excretion, bathing, putting on and taking off clothes, and walking. This invention relates to a nursing care method and device that can be easily performed by one person.

``Conventional technology'' Due to the recent increase in adult diseases, the increase in the number of physically disabled people due to frequent traffic accidents, and the increase in the aging population due to longer lifespans due to advances in medical science, it has become difficult to The number of sick people, disabled people, and bedridden elderly people who require the care and assistance of others is increasing, and it is impossible to accommodate all of these people in hospitals, welfare facilities, etc., and close relatives such as spouses and daughters-in-law However, the number of caregivers is decreasing as nuclear families are becoming more common in households, and the current situation is such that volunteer home helpers are required to provide assistance. be. In addition, in hospitals and other facilities, it takes several caregivers to lift sick, disabled, and bedridden elderly people who are unable to use their own knives or move from their beds, and to change their positions, but this type of work is unstable. The heavy lifting is done in a half-waisted position, which puts a strain on the lower back, often resulting in lower back pain. To achieve this, we have developed an assistance robot that only performs the heavy lifting of lifting caregivers, a multifunctional bed that allows people to defecate and bathe while lying down, and a horizontal movement system that uses running rails and hoisting equipment installed on the ceiling of the home. Various household mobility devices have been developed that allow people to easily access bathrooms, toilets, etc.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' Conventional assistance robots have two arms, and when lifting a patient, an air cloak is inserted between the patient and the bed, and the air cloak is inflated to create a space between the patient and the bed. Because the robot's arm is inserted into the hole, it takes a lot of effort to pick up the child.
There are problems such as poor stability, giving unnecessary tension to the patient, and not being able to gently pick up the patient while the patient is lying down.

In addition, while a multi-functional bed allows you to defecate and take a bath while lying down, changing clothes, moving from the multi-functional bed to a wheelchair, stretcher, etc., or vice versa, requires several caregivers to lift and move you. There are issues that need to be addressed.

Furthermore, with the domestic transportation device, the body is fixed to a crane with a belt, and the body is moved horizontally to a bathroom, toilet, etc. along a traveling rail that is stretched around the ceiling of the home. This requires various construction work such as reinforcing the ceiling of the home and renovating the structure, which is a large-scale project.Also, the patient is suspended from a crane with a belt, which is unstable and causes unnecessary stress to the patient. give a feeling,
There are problems such as not being able to gently pick up the baby while the baby is sleeping.

However, all of the above-mentioned devices have the problem that they are expensive and difficult to introduce into general households with patients who require home care or assistance.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and consists of installing two main pillars on a convertible trolley, and connecting the two main pillars with an electric motor. A fork that can be raised and lowered and whose distal end is extendable within the proximal end is provided, a hanger par is fixed to each of the forks at the distal end and the proximal end, and the width thereof can be expanded and contracted;
A large number of spoon-shaped supports are inserted into each of the hanger pars.

"Operation" As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, first, the hanger par 33.
33a is expanded, the rod screw 18 is rotated by the motor 15, the proximal end fork 7.7 is raised to an appropriate height, and the trolley 1 is placed under the bed on which a patient, such as a sick person, a disabled person, or a bedridden elderly person, is lying. The fork 7.7 is inserted into the two hanger pars 33, 33a, and the multiple spoon-shaped supports 39 are lowered to a position where they can be easily inserted between the patient's body and the bed, and the fork at the proximal end is inserted. 7. The spoon-shaped support 39 fitted into the hanger par 33a fixed to 7 is moved to the trolley 1.
is moved toward the bed and inserted between the patient's body and the bed, and the width between the hanger pars 33.33a is reduced so that the distal fork 25 is manually inserted into the proximal fork 7.7. A large number of spoon-shaped supports 39 fitted into the hanger par 33 fixed to the tip fork 25 are easily inserted from the other side between the patient's body and the bed, and the patient's body is inserted from both sides. .39, the motor 15 rotates the bar screw 18 again to raise the fork 7.7 to an appropriate height, and the patient is gently lifted up while lying down.
The convertible cart 1 allows the cart 1 to be moved as it is, and a single caretaker can provide care and assistance to a sick person, a disabled person, a bedridden elderly person, or the like.
