Description

Transferr

The present invention relates to a transferer for moving a caregiver between a bed, a wheelchair and a toilet, etc., and more particularly to a transfer that can be transferred by a caregiver only if there is only one caregiver.

In recent years, with the increase in the number of elderly people in need of care, there has been a problem that the burden on the caregiver increases. The caregiver needs to move the person in need of care from the bed to the wheelchair and move from the wheelchair to the toilet, which is extremely labor intensive. Among the caregivers, there are many caregivers who feel low back pain and resign due to the action of the caregiver. If the number of caregivers who resign increases, the burden on the remaining caregivers will increase, and the remaining caregivers will also Back pain and resignation in the vicious circle.

Therefore, in order to alleviate the burden on the caregiver, a transferer for helping the caregiver to move is developed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses such a transfer. Patent Document 1 discloses a transfer device including a bogie, a support that can be tilted forward and backward at a position rising from the bogie, and a chest support portion that is provided on an upper portion of the support for supporting a chest of a care receiver. And a pair of crotch support portions for supporting the crotch portion of the care receiver on both sides of the lower portion of the pillar. Thereby, it is possible to provide a transfer device that can reduce the physical and mental burden of the medical staff, the caregiver or the patient, the care receiver, and does not use electric power such as a motor.

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-14573.

However, the conventional transferor disclosed in Patent Document 1 cannot be inserted into the bed from the bedside. Therefore, the caregiver cannot move into the transferer in the lying orientation, and the caregiver needs to raise the caregiver and change the orientation. In addition, in order to arrange the belt required to support the caregiver from under the buttocks under the buttocks of the caregiver, it is necessary for the two caregivers to pick up the caregiver and suspend them, and then arrange the belt. Therefore, the caregiver still needs two, and because the care needs to be raised, the waist is still burdened.

As described above, in the conventional transferor disclosed in Patent Document 1, in order to move the caregiver into the transfer, it is necessary for the two persons to lift up the person in need of care, and the burden on the number of caregivers and the burden on the waist of the caregiver are still large.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the transferr of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

[First Embodiment]

(1) Structure

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the entire transfer unit 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 1, the transfer unit 100 of the first embodiment is constituted by a U-shaped frame 102 having an upper side 102A and a lower side 102B, and the upper side 102A is provided with a transfer unit for lifting a person in need of care. The transfer unit includes all of the members set to the upper side 102A described later. The upper side 102A is provided with the grip member 104, the elongated member 106, and the pair of protruding members 108 and 108, and the lower side 102B is provided with a pair of leg portions 110 and 110.

The pair of first arms 112 and 112 are connected to the distal end portions of the pair of protruding members 108 and 108 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. The pair of second arms 114 and 114 are respectively connected to the distal end portions of the pair of first arms 112 and 112 (the distal end portions on the side not connected to the protruding members 108) so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. Thereby, the second arms 114 and 114 are formed such that their longitudinal directions are perpendicular to the U-shaped surface of the U-shaped frame 102.

It is preferable that the distal end portion of the second arms 114 and 114 (the distal end portion on the side where the first arm 112 is not connected) is rotatable in the horizontal direction (not shown) and fixed. Therefore, when the caregiver is required to be sandwiched between the second arms 114 and 114, the distal end portions of the second arms 114 and 114 are rotated and fixed inward, whereby the back of the caregiver can be held by the portion. Therefore, it is safer and requires caregivers to transfer with peace of mind.

The distal end portions of the pair of first arms 112 and 112 on the second arm 114 side are connected to each other by the first rod-shaped body 116, and the distal end portions of the pair of second arms 114 and 114 on the first arm 112 side pass each other through the second The rods 118 are connected. Here, the first rod-shaped body 116 and the second rod-shaped body 118 are shown as separate members in FIG. 1, but they may be integrated. Further, it is not necessarily a rod shape, and may be other shapes such as a plate shape. That is, the first rod-shaped body 116 and the second rod-shaped body 118 may be connected to the distal end portions of the first arms 112 and 112 and the distal end portions of the second arms 114 and 114, respectively, regardless of the shape. It is considered to be included in the first rod 116 and the second rod 118.

The cylinder 120 is rotatably held at an upper portion of the grip member 104. Here, the grip member 104 is composed of two plate-like members in Fig. 1, but may be composed of one member. Any cylinder such as a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric cylinder can be used for the cylinder 120. However, since the electric cylinder driven by the electric motor and the gear does not require piping for hydraulic pressure or air pressure, it is more preferable. Further, although the grip member 104 is named as a grip member, the grip cylinder 120 is not necessarily required, and any retaining method may be employed as long as the cylinder 120 can be held rotatable. Therefore, although the name such as the grip member is used, it means that the member for holding the cylinder 120 is meant, and is not limited to gripping.

A distal end portion of the cylinder 120 (a distal end portion not gripped by the grip member 104) is rotatably connected to the connecting member 122, and the connecting member 122 is provided to the first rod-shaped body 116. The long hole member 106 is formed with a long hole 106A. The engaging pin 124 is engaged with the long hole 106A and can rotate in the long hole 106A. One end of the third arm 126 is fixed to the engaging pin 124, and the other end of the third arm 126 The arm connecting member 128 is rotatably coupled to the second rod 118.

The lower side 102B and the leg portions 110, 110 are provided with a plurality of wheels 130. Here, the leg portions 110 may be one or more, but preferably two. This is because one is unstable, and three or more are basically meaningless.

One end and the other end of the belt 132 are connected to a pair of first arms 112, 112, respectively. Preferably, the belt 132 is coupled to the first arm 112 at a connection between the first arm 112 and the second arm 114.

(2) Action on the wheelchair

Next, an operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 2 is a side view showing the operation of the transferer according to the first embodiment of the present invention. For the sake of easy understanding, the operation when the caregiver is required to transfer in the wheelchair 200 omits the diagram requiring the caregiver.

When the wheelchair 200 is brought close to the transfer unit 100, when in the state of FIG. 2(A), the second arm 114 is placed under the arm of a caregiver (not shown).

Next, as shown in FIG. 2(B), the engaging pin 124 (which is not visible in the shadow of the first arm 112) is positioned at the upper portion of the long hole 106A, and the cylinder 120 is contracted. Thereby, the second arm 114 is maintained in a straight line with the first arm 112, and is tilted (inclined so that the caregiver side is above). In other words, the second arm 114 and the first arm 112 rotate with the connection portion of the first arm 112 and the protruding member 108 as the center of rotation while maintaining the straight line.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 (a perspective view showing a state in which the waist of the caregiver is required to be suspended by the operation of the transfer device), the armor of the caregiver 300 is required to be inclined by the second arm 114 (with the front side of the body downward) The rear side is lifted up, so the buttocks of the caregiver 300 are required to be suspended from the seat surface 302 of the wheelchair 200.

Thereby, even if only one person (not shown) cares, the belt 132 can be easily placed under the buttocks of the caregiver 300. In the prior art, in order to place the belt under the buttocks of the caregiver, two caregivers are required to lift the person in need of care, and according to the transfer device 100 of the present invention, a caregiver can thereby carry the belt 132 is placed under the buttocks of the caregiver 300.

After the belt 132 is placed under the buttocks of the caregiver 300, as shown in FIG. 2(C), the cylinder 120 is extended to lower the second arm 114, thereby requiring the caregiver to sit in the wheelchair 200, and then The snap pin 124 is manually moved to the lower portion of the elongated hole 106A.

Next, as shown in (D) of FIG. 3, the cylinder 120 is contracted, whereby the second arm 114 is kept in a horizontal state and rises without inclination.

Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4 (a perspective view showing a state in which the caregiver is required to be lifted by the transferer), the buttocks 132 are used to lift and support the buttocks of the caregiver 300, and the second arm 114 is also used from the underarm. The support requires the caregiver 300, so that the caregiver 300 is not disturbed and can be lifted stably.

In the state of FIG. 4, the transfer unit 100 is moved to a transfer destination such as a toilet or a bed. The carrier 100 is provided with the wheel 130, so that it is possible to easily move in a state where the caregiver 300 is required to be lifted. Then, in the bed, the toilet, and the like as the transfer destination, the caregiver 300 is lowered in the reverse order to the above, so that the caregiver 300 can be transferred to a transfer destination such as a bed or a toilet.

Thus, the transfer unit 100 of the present invention is engaged by engaging the engaging pin 124 in the long hole 106A formed in the elongated hole member 106 and changing the position of the engaging pin 124 in the long hole 106A. The action of the third arm 126 having the pin 124 as a fulcrum, when the cylinder 120 is contracted, can be maintained in a state in which the second arm 114 is maintained in a horizontal state and in a state in which the first arm 112 and the second arm 114 are maintained in a straight line. The mode in which the second arm 114 is raised is changed.

(3) The second arm angle during the action

Next, the angle of the second arm 114 when the cylinder 120 is expanded and contracted will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 5. FIG. 5 is a projection view showing the angle of the second arm 114 projected toward the side of the transferer. In Fig. 5, the second arm 114 of each angle is shown, but for the sake of convenience of viewing the drawings, the reference numerals of some of the reference numerals are omitted.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 5, when the engaging pin 124 is at the same position as the connecting portion of the first arm 112 and the protruding member 108 in the projected view projected toward the side direction, the third arm is contracted by the cylinder 120. 126 is rotated at the position x2 as a fulcrum, in other words, the same position as the connection portion between the first arm 112 and the protruding member 108 is used as a fulcrum, and is rotated in the same manner as the first arm 112, so that the third arm is used. The second arm 114 supported by the 126 is rotated in a state of being in line with the first arm 112.

The inventors have intensively studied and found that in the projection view projected toward the side, when the position x1 of the engaging pin 124 in the long hole 106A and the connection position a of the third arm 126 and the arm connecting member 128 are set to A, (distance between x1-a), when the distance between the connection position b of the first arm 112 and the protruding member 108 and a is set to B (distance between ba), when the engaging pin 124 is located at the position x1 of A=B The second arm 114 is raised by the contraction of the cylinder 120 to rise.

Since the transfer unit 100 of the present invention has the position x1 of A=B in the long hole 106A, and the engagement pin 124 can be positioned at this position, the second arm 114 can be raised and lowered in a horizontal state. Therefore, the caregiver is required to hold the second arm 114 under the armpit, and the body can be raised and lowered horizontally without tilting, so that the sense of fear is not felt and the transfer can be stably performed.

(4) Action on the bed

Next, the transfer of the person in need of care placed on the bed will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 1. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing a transfer state of a caregiver in need of a bed. Since the transfer unit 100 of the present invention includes the U-shaped frame 102, it can be inserted into the bed 310 from the bed side of the bed 310 so that the bed 310 is sandwiched by the upper side 102A and the lower side 102B.

Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, the second arm 114 can be disposed in front of the eye care provider 300 in the lying state, so that the caregiver does not need to change the orientation of the caregiver 300, and only needs to raise the caregiver 300 and is in the hospital. The second arm 114 can be disposed below. On the other hand, since the conventional transferer does not have the U-shaped frame 102, the transferor cannot be inserted from the bed side of the bed 310, and the caregiver needs to be lifted up to take care of the caregiver, change its orientation, and sit on the bedside. Waiting for the job.

First, the transfer 100 is inserted into the bed 310 from the bedside of the bed 310. Next, the caregiver 300 is lifted and the second arm 114 is inserted under the armpit, and the second arm 114 is raised by the mode in which the second arm 114 is tilted up (down) by the position adjustment of the engaging pin 124. Thus, the caregiver 300 is required to lean forward so that the buttocks of the caregiver 300 are slightly suspended, so the caregiver (not shown) quickly disposes the harness 132 under the buttocks of the caregiver 300 and lowers the second arm 114. .

Next, the position of the engagement pin 124 is adjusted, and the mode in which the second arm 114 is horizontally raised (falled) is set, and the second arm 114 is raised. Thereby, it is required that the caregiver 300 is supported by the belt 132 under the buttocks, and the armpit is supported by the second arm 114, thereby being lifted safely and stably.

By moving the transferer 100, the caregiver 300 thus raised is lifted to the front of the wheelchair or the like, for example, so that the caregiver 300 needs to transfer. When the caregiver 300 is required to transfer (fall), the transfer (down) can be performed in the reverse order of the foregoing. In other words, the mode in which the second arm 114 is raised and lowered in the horizontal state is maintained, and the transfer destination is lowered, and the caregiver 300 is required to be temporarily dropped to the transfer destination.

Next, the position of the engaging pin 124 is adjusted to be raised (lower) in a downwardly inclined state at the top end of the frame side of the second arm 114 (a state in which the first arm 112 and the second arm 114 are in a straight line). In the mode, the second arm 114 is raised, causing the caregiver 300 to lean forward so that the buttocks are slightly suspended and the band 132 is quickly removed from under the buttocks.

Finally, lowering the second arm 114 will require the caregiver 300 to fully transfer to the transfer destination and remove the second arm 114 from the underarm, thereby completing the transfer. In this way, the transfer can be performed.

(5) Change of each part of the transfer unit

Next, changes of respective portions of the transfer unit 100 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 7 is a front schematic view of the transfer device in which the housing 102 has a telescopic function. As shown in Fig. 7, it is preferable that the vertical portion of the casing 102, that is, the portion connecting the upper side 102A and the lower side 102B has a telescopic function.

The telescopic function can use various methods that have been conventionally used. For example, a structure in which an inner cylinder is inserted into an outer cylinder and fixed at a position by a stopper such as a screw can be used. The present invention is not limited to the type in which the inner cylinder is inserted into the outer cylinder, but in the case of such a type, either one of the upper side 102A side and the lower side 102B side may be an outer cylinder or an inner cylinder.

Thereby, the interval between the upper side 102A and the lower side 102B can be adjusted according to the height of the bed, the height of the wheelchair, the toilet of the toilet, and the like, and the height of the transfer destination. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform the change of the caregiver 300. Multiply.

Next, description will be made with reference to Fig. 8 . Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the transferr in which the leg portion 110 can be rotated in the horizontal direction at the joint portion. As shown in Fig. 8, the two leg portions 110, 110 can be rotated in the horizontal direction at the root portion thereof (the connecting portion connected to the lower side 102B). Further, it is more preferable that the rotation can be fixed at any angle at the time of rotation.

Therefore, even when the size of the toilet bowl of the toilet is too large to enter between the two leg portions 110 and 110, the toilet bowl can be accessed by expanding the distal end portions of the two leg portions 110 and 110. Between the leg portions 110, 110, thereby inserting the transfer device 100 into the toilet.

Further, when the leg portions 110 and 110 enter between the wheels of the wheelchair, when the wheelchair is not accessible due to the type of the wheelchair, the two legs can be reduced by reducing the interval between the tips of the two leg portions 110 and 110. The feet 110, 110 are inserted between the wheel of the wheelchair and the wheel, and the transfer 100 is placed in the wheelchair.

In this way, the interval between the two leg portions 110 and 110 can be enlarged or reduced, whereby the transfer device 100 can be made to correspond to various transfer origins and transfer destinations.

Here, as a method of expanding or reducing the interval between the two leg portions 110 and 110, in addition to the above-described configuration, the two leg portions 110 and 110 may be slid while maintaining the balance state, thereby expanding Or reduce the structure of the interval. In this case, the connection portion that connects one or both of the leg portions 110 and 110 to the lower side 102B may be moved along the lower side 102B.

As such a configuration, a structure in which the leg portion 110 can be removed and fixed at another position of the lower side 102B, and a structure in which the connecting portion of the leg portion 110 and the lower side 102B can slide along the lower side 102B can be considered, but is not limited thereto. Therefore, any configuration can be adopted as long as the distance between the leg portions 110 and 110 can be adjusted.

Further, when the two leg portions 110 and 110 are fixed or when the interval is changed (including the case where the angle is changed), the interval between the first two leg portions 110 and 110 is preferably 260 mm to 300 mm. More preferably, it is 280 mm. The inventors of the present invention have found that, in the case of this interval, it is possible to respond to various transfer origins and transfer destinations such as wheelchairs and toilets.

Next, other changes of the leg portions 110 and 110 will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a transferer having a leg portion of a shape of a stag beetle. As shown in FIG. 9, the leg portions 110, 110 may be in the shape of a stag beetle.

Next, a second embodiment of the transfer of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the second embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the description of the common points will be omitted. Since the operation is also the same as that of the first embodiment, the effects are also the same, and therefore the description of the common points will be omitted.

Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing the entire transfer device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 11 is a perspective view of the multiplier of the second embodiment as seen from a direction different from Fig. 10. As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the transfer device 101 of the second embodiment uses the engagement pin cylinder 500 in the transfer device 100 of the first embodiment, so that it is possible to change the engagement pin 124 without depending on the manual. The position in the long hole 106A.

Therefore, since the cylinder 120 cannot be attached to the position of the first embodiment, it is provided on the opposite side of the surface (referred to as the frame surface) including the U-shaped casing 102 (opposite to the frame surface, opposite to the side where the conventional cylinder is located) side).

The first pin 502 is rotatably disposed on the protruding member 108, and the protruding member 108 is fixed to the upper side 102A. One end of the first arm 112 is connected to the first pin 502, and the other end is connected to a rotatable pin 504A constituting the support member 504. The support member 504 is provided with second arms 114 and 114 which are bent to surround the inner side, and the second arms 114 and 114 are configured to be rotatable in the horizontal direction with the connection portion with the support member 504 as a fulcrum.

Here, the transfer unit 100 of the first embodiment may include such curved and rotatable second arms 114 and 114. In this case, the first embodiment may include the support member 504 as in the second embodiment, and the second arms 114 and 114 of the first embodiment may be similarly curved, and further, the second arm 114 of the first embodiment. The 114 can be rotated in the horizontal direction in the middle of the connection with the first arm 112 or in the vicinity thereof.

Thus, the second arms 114, 114 are respectively bent to enclose the inner side, whereby the second arms 114, 114 are provided under the armpit of the caregiver, and the back of the caregiver (not shown) or the second arm 114 is required. Since the support is 114, it is necessary for the caregiver to not fall back, and it is possible to safely and stably transfer the person in need of care.

Further, the second arms 114, 114 are configured to be rotatable, so that it is easy to feed the caregiver between the second arms 114, 114 by deploying the second arms 114, 114, and then close the second arms 114, 114, thereby being able to easily The second arms 114, 114 are placed under the arm of a caregiver.

Further, by rotating the second arms 114 and 114 in the horizontal direction, the interval between the second arms 114 and 114 can be adjusted according to the size of the body of the caregiver, so that the body can be safely and stably required. Transfer. Preferably, the rotatable second arms 114, 114 are configured to be fixed at any rotational position. By being unable to rotate at any position, it is possible to prevent the second arms 114, 114 from being deployed due to the need for the caregiver to lean, thereby causing the caregiver to slide off the second arms 114, 114.

One end of the cylinder 120 and one end of the engagement pin cylinder 500 are rotatably connected to the grip member 104 via the grip member 104. The distal end portion of the other end of the cylinder 120 is connected to a conversion member 506 that converts the expansion and contraction motion of the cylinder 120 into the rotational motion of the first pin 502.

The shifting member 506 includes a rotating member 506A that rotatably connects the tip end of the other end of the cylinder 120, and a rod 506B that connects the rotating member 506A with the first pin 502. When the cylinder 120 is extended, the rod 506B is rotated with the first pin 502 as a fulcrum, so that the first pin 502 is also rotated by the rotation. When the first pin 502 is rotated, the first arm 112 is rotated with the first pin 502 as a fulcrum. Therefore, as a result of the expansion and contraction of the cylinder 120, the first arm 112 is connected to the protruding member 108 by the expansion and contraction of the cylinder 120. The portion (ie, the first pin 502) is rotated as a fulcrum.

Next, description will be made with reference to FIG. 12 in addition to FIGS. 10 and 11. Fig. 12 is an enlarged perspective view showing the vicinity of the engaging pin 124 of the transfer of the second embodiment of the present invention. The engaging pin 124 is rotatably coupled to the tip end of the other end of the engaging pin cylinder 500. Thus, by engaging and contracting the engagement pin cylinder 500, the position of the engagement pin 124 in the long hole 106A can be freely changed and fixed.

One end of the third arm 126 is coupled to the engaging pin 124 that is rotatable within the elongated hole 106A, and the other end is rotatably coupled to the arm connecting member 128 that is fixed to the support member 504. The lower side 102B is provided with two leg portions 110, 110 which are connected at a joint portion connected to the lower side 102B so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction. Here, the leg portions 110 and 110 can of course be modified in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Further, the change of each part of the transfer unit 101 may be the same as the change of the transfer unit 100 of the first embodiment.

(2) The second arm angle during the action

Next, the angle of the second arm 114 when the cylinder 120 is expanded and contracted will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 13 . FIG. 13 is a projection view showing the angle of the second arm 114 projected toward the side surface of the transfer. The angle of the second arm 114 is also the same as that of the first embodiment, but will be described below.

As shown in (A) of FIG. 13, when the engaging pin 124 (hidden in the shadow of the first pin 502) is in the projection view projected toward the side direction, it is the same as the connection portion of the first arm 112 and the protruding member 108. In the case of the position, the cylinder 120 is extended, whereby the third arm 126 rotates with the position x2 as a fulcrum, in other words, the side view is the same as the joint of the first arm 112 and the protruding member 108. As the first arm 112 rotates, the second arm 114 supported by the third arm 126 rotates while maintaining the first arm 112 in a straight line as shown in FIG. 13(B).

The inventors have intensively studied and found that in the projection view projected toward the side, when the position x1 of the engaging pin 124 in the long hole 106A and the connection position a of the third arm 126 and the arm connecting member 128 are set to A, (distance between x1-a), when the distance between the connection position b of the first arm 112 and the protruding member 108 and a is set to B (distance between ba), when the engaging pin 124 is located at the position x1 of A=B When the cylinder 120 is extended, the second arm 114 is raised in a horizontal state as shown in (C) and (D) of FIG.

The multiplier 101 of the present invention has the position x1 of A=B in the long hole 106A, and the engagement pin 124 can be positioned at this position. Therefore, the second arm 114 can be raised and lowered while maintaining the horizontal state. Therefore, the caregiver is required to hold the second arm 114 under the armpit, and the body can be raised and lowered horizontally without tilting, so that the sense of fear is not felt and the transfer can be stably performed.

The operation of the transfer device 101 of the second embodiment of the transfer device of the present invention, the operation performed on the bed, and the operation performed on the bed are completely the same as those described in the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.
