[Action]

When moving a fork-type lift device for long-term care by using a battery as the power source, there is no power cord required when using power sales, so there is no worry that the wheels will step on the power cord and the range of movement is not limited. Furthermore, it can be used even if the power selling source is not on the spot, and it can be used without problems even if the power selling is temporarily cut off.

【0009】

By using the DC power supply of the battery as an AC power supply with an inverter device, each AC motor can operate stably without maintenance. However, for some electromagnetic clutches, etc., the DC power supply is preferable due to its nature, so let's use the DC power supply of the battery directly. To do.

【0010】

By setting the upper and lower limits of the lift connection part with the limit switches installed above and below the mast, it is possible to eliminate the burden on the device due to operation mistakes, and by increasing the number of limit switches and installing them at any position, the switches You can also drive automatically just by pressing.

【0011】

The tactile limit switch on the front part of the lower surface of the fork can be fixed at any position in the front and rear, and can control the lowering of the lifting lift and the forward movement of the wheel drive motor. It prevents the wheelchair, toilet seat, etc. from being pushed or pressed, and the front part of the lift can be stopped at an appropriate position.

【0012】

Since the fork part requires work such as replacing the belt conveyor, one side can be attached and detached, the frames on the left and right of the fork part are fixed with three large and small center bones and each roller, and the upper surface is covered with two large and small insoles. It is possible to prevent the belt conveyor from sinking inside when the care recipient gets on the belt conveyor.

【0013】

The limit switch on the upper surface of the large insole belt conveyor on the drive roller side prevents the care recipient from moving forward more than necessary due to an operation error when the care recipient rides on the belt conveyor and moves forward.

【0014】

Since each hand switch can be moved back and forth along the upper part of the handrail, it can always be used in the position that is most convenient for the care recipient, and it is easy to use because it can be replaced with either the left or right handrail. It can be used by hand, and the groove on the handrail and the protrusion on the handrail prevent the handswitch from rotating during use, and when the caregiver operates it, the caregiver handrails on both sides of the mast are on each hand. Since a switch can be attached, it is possible to prevent the care recipient from touching it without permission.

【0015】

If the tip of the fork is longer than the trolley to facilitate movement from the wheelchair, toilet seat, etc., the center of gravity will be applied to the tip of the fork and it will be unstable. When moving from the above, the tip of the fork does not reach the wheelchair or toilet seat, making it difficult to move. Therefore, by making the dolly U-shaped, the above-mentioned problems can be solved.

【0016】

4 Wheels on the front and back of the underside of the dolly allow the dolly to move, and by making the wheels in front of the dolly directional wheels, the dolly can turn smoothly, and the wheels behind the dolly are electric. Since it can be driven back and forth, it can be easily moved, and since the drive wheels can be driven separately on the left and right, it can be easily turned not only back and forth but also left and right. By providing an electromagnetic clutch between the wheels, it can be moved manually.

【0017】

By moving the fork part up and down along the vertically standing mast on the upper part of the dolly, the fork part moves up and down even if the height of the wheelchair and the toilet seat are different, or the height of the bed and the wheelchair are different. So you can move without any problems.

【0018】

With the belt conveyor in the fork part, the care recipient can easily get on from a wheelchair, toilet seat, bed, etc. by simply inserting the tip of the fork part under the crotch and driving the belt conveyor forward. You can easily get off by simply driving backwards. By making the center of the belt conveyor drive roller thicker than both ends, the belt conveyor can always be used in the center of the roller.

【0019】

By allowing the care recipient to grasp and use the handrails attached to the upper left and right of the fork, the care recipient can take a stable system when moving, getting on and off, and the distance between the left and right handrails can be set by the care recipient. Since it can be adjusted to the body shape of the person, a more stable system can be taken, so that the care recipient is not mentally anxious.

【0020】

When the caregiver operates and moves the care recipient with the care device of the present invention, the care recipient grips and uses the handrail attached to the center of the upper part of the fork portion, so that the care recipient shakes back and forth when moving. It becomes easier to correspond to.

【0021】

The clothing attachment / detachment device at the lower part of the handrail attached to the upper left and right of the fork portion can be adjusted to a position suitable for clothing such as trousers worn by the care recipient by moving and adjusting the sleeve tube.

【0022】

By using a band-shaped string to connect the sleeve tube to the clip, it is easy to adjust the angle between the sleeve tube and the clip that sandwiches clothing such as trousers worn by the care recipient, and because of the band-shaped string, the trousers and other clothing A certain distance can be maintained even if a pulling force generated during undressing is applied, and since it is difficult to twist against a one-way twist, the clip can always be kept at an appropriate angle with respect to clothing such as trousers, and a band shape. By surrounding the outer circumference of the string with a hard tube, it is possible to obtain a certain distance between the sleeve tube and the care recipient, which is necessary when wearing clothing such as trousers, which cannot be obtained only with the band-shaped string.

【0023】

By providing a barb on the part of the clip that sandwiches clothing such as trousers, the barb of the clip can be applied to the force of pulling out clothing such as trousers from the clip that occurs when putting on and taking off clothing such as trousers without increasing the spring force of the clip. Since it gets caught in clothes such as trousers, it cannot be pulled out, and since the force of the spring is not strengthened, it can be easily operated when sandwiching or removing clothes such as trousers.

【0024】

By using the care fork-type lift device configured as described above, the care recipient can easily move from the bed to the wheelchair, from the wheelchair to the toilet, etc. without the help of the caregiver, and vice versa. The clothes attachment / detachment device can be used in combination with the above-mentioned nursing care fork-type lift device to quickly attach / detach clothes or the like.

【0025】

Since the handrails attached to the left and right of the upper part of the fork can be rotated and stored in the rear part of the fork, if the fork is lowered to the bottom of the mast and stored under a bed or the like, most of the flat area of the nursing care device of the present invention is provided. Since it can be stored, the flat area at the time of storage can be reduced.

【0026】

It has the effect of reducing the physical and mental burden on the caregiver and helping the care recipient's mental independence.

【0027】
