    摘要: A patient transport apparatus with a seat assembly to support a patient. A rear assembly pivots between first and second rear positions, and a stair rear position. A ski is selectively pivotable relative to the rear assembly between a plurality of ski positions. A carrier is coupled between the rear assembly and the ski and is operable between: an unlocked state where relative movement between the ski and the rear assembly is permitted, and a locked state where the carrier inhibits relative movement between the ski and the rear assembly. Movement of the rear assembly from the first rear position towards the second rear position changes operation of the carrier from the unlocked state to the locked state such that continued movement of the rear assembly into the rear stair position arranges the rear assembly and the ski for engagement with stairs.

    摘要: A patient transport system is provided. The patient transport system includes a patient transport apparatus, which includes a seat section and a back section for supporting the patient, and a patient containment system. The patient containment system includes a lower strap, an upper strap having a front end coupled to the lower strap and a back end, and a coupling system to facilitate releasable attachment of the patient containment system to the patient transport apparatus. The coupling system includes a latch coupled to the back end of the upper strap, a coupling bracket configured for removable attachment to the back section of the patient transport apparatus, and a keeper operatively attached to the coupling bracket and configured to removably receive the latch to retain the upper strap together with the latch relative to the coupling bracket.

    摘要: A patient transport apparatus for transporting a patient along stairs. The patient transport apparatus includes a support structure including a rear support assembly and a track assembly extending from the support structure. The track assembly includes a rail extending between a first and second rail ends. The track assembly further includes a roller adjacent to the first rail end, a motor supporting a pulley adjacent to the second rail end, and a belt supported in engagement with the roller and the pulley. The track assembly further includes a lateral brace operatively attached to the rail and defining a brace configured to abut at least a portion of the belt to retain the belt in engagement with the roller for limiting lateral movement of the belt relative to the rail occurring in response to force acting on the belt between stairs and the roller during operation of the motor.

    摘要: A mobile robot driving wheel deforming device is capable of changing a wheel base and a mobile robot comprising same. To this end, provided is a mobile robot (100) driving wheel deforming device comprising: a first driving wheel (200) for driving the mobile robot (100); a third arm (152) connected to the first driving wheel (200); a second driving wheel (210) for driving the mobile robot (100); a fourth arm (154), one end of which is connected to the second driving wheel (210), and the other end of which is connected to the third arm (152) such that same rotates integrally; a third driving wheel (220) for driving the mobile robot (100); a second arm (114), one end of which is connected to the third driving wheel (220); a second shaft (150) installed in an area in which the third arm (152) and the fourth arm (154) are connected, thereby rotating the third arm (152) and the fourth arm (154); and a second-shaft servomotor (330) for rotating the second shaft (150).

    摘要: A patient transport apparatus operable by a user for transporting a patient along stairs. A seat section is coupled to a support structure. A track having a belt is attached to the support structure and is arranged for selective operation between: a retracted position, and a deployed position to engage stairs. A drive system with a motor is disposed in rotational communication with the belt to control movement along stairs in the deployed position. A user interface us arranged for engagement to selectively adjust operation of the drive system between: an active state for controlling movement of the belt with the motor, and an inactive state. A braking controller is configured to sense movement of the belt in the inactive state, and to control the motor to limit movement of the belt in the inactive state to effect corresponding limited movement of the patient transport apparatus along stairs.
