Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, A shows a wooden nursing room equipped with equipment B necessary for the patient's life. As the equipment B, a bathroom B1, a toilet B2, and a washing machine provided centrally on one side of the nursing room A are shown. A washing room B3 provided, a washroom B4 provided with a washstand, a bed B5, and storage furniture B6 such as a chest of drawers are provided.

[0007] In order to transport a patient to a position where the equipment B is provided when the patient uses the equipment B, 1
5 shows a self-propelled overhead traveling crane attached to a ceiling surface of the care room A, wherein the self-propelled overhead traveling crane 1 includes a guide rail 3 disposed in one direction (X direction) of the care room A; A direction perpendicular to the guide rail 3 (Y
Direction), a saddle 5 running along the movable rail 4, and a hoist 6 provided on the saddle 5, and the hoist 2 for hanging a patient is hung on the hoist 6. Let it. In addition, it is desirable to provide a partition wall C between each equipment B, and the upper part of the partition wall C is provided with a ceiling surface so as not to obstruct the mounting of the self-propelled overhead traveling crane 1 described later. Provide an interval between them.

The guide rail 3 and the moving rail 4 are made of a lightweight metal material such as an aluminum alloy, and the guide rail 3 is supported by a support metal 7 supported by columns D provided on both sides of the care room A in one direction. And attached to both sides of the nursing room A,
Are mounted on the guide rails 3 with side saddles 8 provided at both ends thereof, and are provided so as to be movable along the guide rails 3. The saddle 5 and the side saddle 8 are provided with tires 5a, 8a such as urethane resin, and are mounted on the guide rail 3 and the moving rail 4 by the tires 5a, 8a, and run quietly along the guide rail 3 and the moving rail 4. I tried to make it.

The saddle 5 and the side saddles 8 have a current collecting trolley 9, and a motor (100 V) provided on the saddle 5 and the side saddles 8 by the current collecting trolley 9.
(Motors) 10, 11 and the motor 6c on the saddle 5. To explain this, a channel-like sheath 1 with a lip provided along the guide rail 3 and the moving rail 4.
2 is fixed to the guide rail 3 and the moving rail 4 side.
The saddle 5 and the current collectors (not shown) provided on the side saddles 8 and 8 are brought into contact with a power supply rail 13 provided in the inside 2 to supply power.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an operation panel for operating the self-propelled overhead traveling crane 1. The operation panel 14 is provided with operation buttons 14 a, 14 b for raising and lowering the hanging tool 2, and self-propelled moving rail 4. The operation buttons 14c and 14d for moving the hanger 2 in the X direction and the operation buttons 14e and 1e for moving the hanger 2 in the Y direction by moving the saddle 5 by themselves.
4f, and by appropriately operating the operation buttons 14a to 14f, the hanging tool 2 can be moved up and down to suspend the patient and move it to a desired place.

The operation panel 14 is provided at the lower end of a rod 15 fixed to the saddle 5 and protruding downward therefrom. The rod 15 is formed of a double pipe in which the inner pipe 15b is inserted into the outer pipe 15a so as to have a slight contact resistance,
The outer pipe 15a is fixed to the saddle 5, and the outer pipe 15
a, the inner pipe 15b is attached to one end of a string 15d suspended on a pulley 15c provided inside the inner pipe 15b, and a weight 15f having the same weight as the inner pipe 15b is attached to the other end of the string 15d. By adjusting the height with respect to the outer pipe 15a, the position of the operation panel 14 can be made to face a height position that is easy for the patient to use. However, height adjustment is not limited to this means. The rod 15 was supported by an arm 5b projecting laterally from the saddle 5. Note that the arrangement of the operation buttons 14a to 14f on the operation panel 14 is set so that the patient or caregiver does not make an error.
For example, it is desirable to arrange as shown in FIG.
It is convenient to provide operation buttons 14g, 14h, and the like for devices such as a buzzer, an air conditioner and the like for calling a person on the operation panel 14. The hoist 6 includes a chain 6a wound around a winding drum (not shown) that rotates forward and backward in conjunction with the electric motor 6c.
A hook 6b is provided at the end of the chain 6a, and the hanging tool 2 is detachably hung on the hook 6b. As shown in FIG. 1, the hanging device 2 is provided with belts 2a and 2a which are hung beside the patient for patients who have difficulty walking because of poor feet, and is used for patients who hardly move. A boat equipped with a boat 2b shown in FIG. Note that XY on the XY plane may be any plane as long as the X axis and the Y axis intersect at right angles, and are not specified in the directions of the illustrated XY axes.

Next, how to use the present apparatus will be described.

After the patient who can freely move his hand but has difficulty walking due to poor feet operates the operation panel 14 on the bed A5 and lowers the belt 2a of the hanging tool 2 to a position where the belt 2a can be easily put on his side. When the belts 2a and 2a are put on the sides by themselves, and then the operation buttons of the operation panel 14 are operated to raise the hanger 2 to a desired position, the patient is hung on the hanger 2 as shown in FIG. It becomes. Therefore, by operating the operation button of the operation panel 14 to move the hanging tool 2 in a desired direction, the patient himself can go to the desired facility B position without having to bother the caregiver to perform necessary tasks. Can be done.

After the caregiver operates the operation panel 14 and lowers the boat 2b of the hanging tool 2 shown in FIG. 5 to a predetermined position, the patient is placed on the boat 2b, and then the operation panel 14 is operated. , Hanging equipment 2
Is lifted to a desired position, the patient can be lifted by the lifting device 2. Therefore, the operation panel 14 is then operated to
By moving the hanger 2 in a desired direction, the patient can be moved to a predetermined facility B.
It can be easily transported to the position. In addition, if the patient has some freedom of hands, the operation panel 14 is fixed to the saddle 5 and is in a stable state, so that the operation buttons can be easily operated simply.

[0015]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the operation panel is fixed to the saddle and is in a stable state, the operation panel is fixed with one hand to operate the operation button as in the prior art. There is no need to operate the operation button easily with one hand or an appropriate part of the body, so that even a handicapped patient or the like can easily operate.

Further, since the operation can be performed with one hand, when operated by a caregiver, the operation buttons can be operated while supporting the patient with one hand, which is easy for the caregiver to handle.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the operation panel can be located at a height that is easy for the patient and caregiver to use.
