    description
    The invention relates to a device for supporting persons in need of care and their helpers. The device comprises a chassis for moving the device and a lifting arm for lifting and / or helping the person in need of care. Furthermore, the device has a parking mode in which at least a first frame part of the chassis and the lifting arm are each brought into a predefined parking position.
    Furthermore, the invention relates to a parking mode circuit as well as a method for parking a device for assisting persons in need of care and their helpers.
    State of the art
    In order to improve the quality of life of people in need of care, numerous aids, for example wheelchairs and, in particular, standing-up aids and patient lifts, are known in the prior art. Such aids serve on the one hand to support the person in need of care. Furthermore, aids, such as stand-up aids and patient lifts, also serve, in particular, to assist the helpers of the persons in need of care. In hospitals and nursing homes, helpers need to help people in need of care or move them from one place to another within the facility.
    To help as well as to transport the people in need of care are the helpers often aids, such as stand-up aids and patient lifts, available. However, such aids often take up a lot of space. In particular, after use, they must therefore be folded and cleared in a space-saving manner. Helpers therefore often find it too cumbersome or too time-consuming to retrieve and build up the aids before use.
    Stand-up aids are intended especially for people in need of care, who can not or only very difficult to get up or get up without help from others. However, the people in need of care are usually still able to stand upright themselves after having been helped.
    Patient lifts are especially intended for people in need of care who can not stand on their own. By means of a patient lifter, people in need of care can be raised, for example lifted out of a bed, and taken from one place to another.
    In DE 20 2011 107 860 Ul, for example, a movable device for lifting and lowering of persons, in particular a patient hoist, is described. In this case, the device has a support arm for supporting the entire device and for avoiding the tilting of the device. The support arm is pivotable about a pivot axis between a parking position and an effective support position.
    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: Problem, Solution. advantages
    Object of the present invention is to provide a device for the support of people in need of care and their helpers, which can be brought in a particularly simple and safe way after use in a relatively space-saving parking position.
    For this purpose, the invention proposes a device for assisting persons in need of care and their helpers, the device having a chassis for moving the device and a lifting arm for lifting and / or helping the persons in need of care. Furthermore, the device according to the invention a parking mode, in which at least a first frame part of the chassis and the lifting arm are each brought into a predefined parking position. According to the invention, the parking mode of the device is designed such that, when the parking mode is activated, at least the first frame part of the chassis as well as the lifting arm are brought into the predefined parking positions in a predefined and automatic sequence.
    Preferably, the device is designed as a stand-up or patient hoist. As a result, both the persons in need of care and their helpers are supported and in particular physically relieved. By means of a stand-up help the person in need of care can be helped in a simple manner. A heavy lifting of the person in need of care by the helper is therefore not necessary. With a patient lift, a person in need of care, who, for example, can no longer stand on his own, can be lifted and transported from one place to another. Again, helpers no longer need to lift or carry the person in need of care. For example, by means of the patient lifter, the person in need of care can be lifted out of his bed and taken into the bath.
    The device according to the invention is designed to be movable. This is to be understood that the device is designed to be movable, in particular displaceable. For example, the device for this purpose rollers or wheels, by means of which the device can be moved in space in a simple manner. The wheels may be arranged on the chassis, for example on a frame part or a plurality of frame parts of the chassis. Under a frame part of the chassis is a separate part of the chassis to understand. For example, the chassis may have a plurality of interconnected frame parts.
    On the lifting arm, a handle and / or a Tragegurtaufhängemittel be arranged for attachment of a carrying strap. Both the handle and a strap help when getting up or lifting the person in need of care.
    In parking mode, at least the first frame part of the chassis as well as the lifting arm are placed in a predefined, especially space-saving, parking position. The park mode of the device according to the invention can be activated manually by the helper and / or the person in need of care. After activating the parking mode, at least the first frame part of the chassis and also the lifting arm are brought into the predefined parking positions in a predefined and automatic sequence. Under a predetermined sequence is to be understood that the order of movement is predetermined. For example, the lifting arm can be brought into the parking position in front of the first frame part. Furthermore, the lifting arm and the first frame part could be brought into the parking positions simultaneously. Alternatively, the first frame part could be moved in front of the lift arm in the park position. Particularly preferably, it is provided that first the lifting arm is brought into its parking position and then the first frame part of the chassis of the device is brought into its parking position.
    Automatic sequence is to be understood that when the parking mode is activated, both the chassis, or at least the first frame part of the chassis, as well as the lifting arm are automatically brought into the predetermined parking positions. A separate adjustment of the chassis and the lifting arm is not necessary. Also, it is not necessary to separately activate the movement of the chassis and the lift arm.
    Due to the fact that, when the parking mode is activated, at least the first frame part of the chassis and also the lifting arm are brought into the predefined parking positions in a predetermined and automatic sequence, the device, for example the stand-up aid or the patient hoist, can be put into a relatively space-saving position in a very simple manner become.
    Particularly preferably, in reverse order, the device can also be set by activating the operating mode from the parking position into an operating mode. Again, it is preferably provided that after activation of the operating mode, at least the lifting arm and the first frame part of the chassis are brought out of the predefined parking positions in predetermined and automatic sequence in operating positions.
    A cumbersome and time-consuming adjustment of the device, for example, folding the frame parts of the chassis and / or the lifting arm, thus eliminated.
    Preferably, the chassis has a plurality of frame parts, wherein the first frame part and a second frame part are at least partially spaced from each other. When the parking mode is activated, the two frame parts, namely the first frame part and the second frame part, of the chassis can be moved toward one another and thus both frame parts can be brought into their parking positions.
    It is also preferably provided that the first frame part and the second frame part are hinged to a third frame part of the chassis. When the parking mode is activated, the two frame parts, namely the first frame part and the second frame part, can be pivoted toward each other along a substantially horizontal plane. Preferably, the third frame part of the chassis remains rigid and is not moved.
    Particularly preferably, it is thus provided that after activation of the parking mode in automatic and predetermined sequence, the two frame parts, namely the first frame part and the second frame part of the chassis, as well as the Flebearm the device are placed in their parking positions.
    Preferably, a receiving area for receiving the person in need of care is defined or limited or at least partially enclosed by the first frame part and the second frame part. When activating the parking mode, the receiving area is preferably reduced in size. In this case, the spaced-apart frame parts, namely the first frame part and the second frame part, the chassis are moved toward each other such that the distance and thus the intermediate area between these two frame parts is reduced.
    Preferably, the first frame part and / or the second frame part is formed bent. Particularly preferably, the two frame parts, namely the first frame part and the second frame part, formed bent such that a distance between the two parts increases towards the center of the two frame parts and decreases again towards the end of the two frame parts. The receiving area is thus most preferably widest in the central portion. This is especially true in park mode. If the two frame parts, namely the first frame part and the second frame part offset in its parking positions, the distance of the preferably curved formed frame parts in the central portion is widest.
    The Flebearm the device is preferably rotatable and / or pivotally mounted on the chassis or rotatably and / or pivotally mounted on a column connected to the chassis. Due to the rotatable and / or swiveling mounting of the
    Hebearms can be a person in need of care raised in a simple manner and also moved from the state of the device out in the room. Furthermore, the rotatable and / or pivotable mounting of the lifting arm of the device serves to adjust the height and thus in particular to adapt to the circumstances and the size and / or position of the person in need of care. Preferably, the rotatable and / or pivotable mounting of the lifting arm also serves to bring the lifting arm in its parking position, for example to pivot, rotate and / or fold. Thus, the parking position of the lifting arm no additional storage on the chassis or connected to the chassis column is required.
    Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the device has a safety function, with which is checked during and / or after activation of the parking mode by means of a resistance measuring unit that no object and no person is trapped in the device or will. In particular, when moving towards each other of the two frame parts, namely the first frame part and the second frame part, the chassis and / or the swinging down or turning away the lifting arm is continuously checked by a resistance measuring unit, whether a resistance to the movement of the frame part or the frame parts or against the movement of the lifting arm directed occurs. Such a resistance, which is directed against the movement of the frame parts or of the lifting arm, generally indicates an object arranged in the receiving area, for example a wheelchair, or an object which is arranged in the receiving area
    Person in the reception area. By means of the preferably provided safety function, this can be detected in a simple manner and safely. If a predetermined resistance is exceeded, the movement of the frame part or the frame parts and the lifting arm is stopped immediately.
    According to the invention, a parking mode circuit is also provided for the above-described device, wherein the parking mode circuit has at least one hardware component and at least one software component. The park mode circuit according to the invention is designed for automatically controlling the movement of the at least first frame part and the lifting arm into the predefined parking positions.
    Preferably, it is provided that the parking mode circuit has the above-described safety function, which avoids that an object or a person is trapped in the device when the frame part or the frame parts and the lifting arm are moved into the predefined parking positions.
    Furthermore, the invention provides a method for parking a device for assisting persons in need of care and their helpers, the device having a chassis for moving the device and a lifting arm for lifting and / or helping the person in need of care. In a parking mode of the device at least a first frame part of the chassis and the lifting arm are each brought into a predefined parking position. The inventive method has at least the following steps: a) activating the parking mode, and b) moving the lifting arm in its predefined parking position, and c) moving the first frame part in its predefined parking position.
    The aforementioned steps b) and c) according to the invention are carried out after activating the parking mode in step a) in a predetermined and automatic sequence.
    In step a), the parking mode can be started by manual activation, for example by the person in need of care or his assistant.
    For this purpose, an operating element, for example a button or a switch, is preferably actuated. A predetermined sequence is understood to mean a predetermined sequence of steps b) and c). In this case, the two steps can be carried out both successively, partially successively or overlapping or simultaneously. By automatic sequence is meant that no separate adjustment and no separate activation are necessary to bring frame parts or lifting arm in their parking positions.
    Preferably, the chassis has a plurality of frame parts, wherein upon activation of the parking mode, the first frame part and a second frame part are moved toward each other. The distance between the two frame parts is at least partially smaller.
    It is also preferably provided that a receiving area for receiving the person in need of care is defined by the first frame part and the second frame part, wherein the receiving area is reduced upon activation of the parking mode.
    When the parking mode is activated, the lifting arm is preferably rotated and / or pivoted into the predefined parking position. Particularly advantageously, the lifting arm is thereby moved toward the chassis or pivoted. In this case, the lifting arm can be brought into a particularly space-saving position. For example, the lifting arm can be turned away or, more preferably, downwards, toward the chassis, pivoted or folded.
    Further, it is preferably provided that during step b) a directed against the movement of the lifting arm resistance is measured, wherein the movement of the lifting arm is then stopped if the resistance exceeds a predetermined value. Particularly preferably, step c) is then stopped or prevented. During step c), a resistance directed against the movement of the first frame part and / or against the movement of a second frame part is preferably measured, wherein the movement of the first frame part and / or the second frame part is then stopped, if the resistance exceeds a predetermined value. Particularly preferably, step b) is then stopped or prevented.
    In particular, it is provided that, when the two frame parts, namely the first frame part and the second frame part, move towards one another and / or during pivoting down or turning away of the lifting arm by a resistance measuring unit continuously checks whether a resistance directed against the respective movement occurs which indicates an object arranged in the receiving area or a person located in the receiving area.
