Abstract

A control panel of a sickbed having a light source is disposed around a sickbed and includes a casing, a light module and a control module. The light module and the control module are provided on two opposite surfaces of the casing respectively. The control module is electrically connected to the light module for controlling the height of the sickbed and an ON/OFF state of the light module. The control panel of the present invention is used to adjust the height of the sickbed and also provides illumination, so that it really demonstrates practicability and convenience.

Claims (12)

1. A control panel ( 1 ) of a sickbed having a light source, disposed around a sickbed ( 200 ) for being used by patients, the control panel ( 1 ) including:

a casing ( 10 ) having a first surface ( 111 ) and a second surface ( 121 ) opposite to the first surface ( 111 );

a light module ( 20 ) provided in the casing ( 10 ) adjacent to the first surface ( 111 ); and

a control module ( 30 ) provided in the casing ( 10 ) adjacent to the second surface ( 121 ), the control module ( 30 ) being electrically connected to the light module ( 20 ) for controlling the height of the sickbed ( 200 ) and an ON/OFF state of the light module ( 20 );

wherein the control panel ( 1 ) is disposed around the sickbed ( 200 ) via a flexible telescopic power cable ( 100 ), the flexible telescopic power cable ( 100 ) is electrically connected to the sickbed ( 200 ) and the control module ( 30 ), and the telescopic power cable ( 100 ) is extendable and capable of being twisted toward different directions;

wherein when in use, the control module ( 30 ) faces the patients, and the light module ( 20 ) is back to the patients.

2. The control panel ( 1 ) of a sickbed having a light source according to claim 1 , wherein the casing ( 10 ) includes a first cover ( 11 ) and a second cover ( 12 ), the first surface ( 111 ) is provided on the first cover ( 11 ), the second surface ( 121 ) is provided on the second cover ( 12 ), the first surface ( 111 ) is further provided with an illumination opening ( 112 ) for allowing the light emitted by the light module ( 20 ) to exit.

3. The control panel ( 1 ) of a sickbed having a light source according to claim 2 , wherein the light module ( 20 ) includes a circuit board ( 21 ) and a plurality of light-emitting diodes ( 22 ) arranged on the circuit board ( 21 ) to face the illumination opening ( 112 ).

4. The control panel ( 1 ) of a sickbed having a light source according to claim 3 , wherein the light source ( 20 ) further includes a transparent shroud ( 23 ) at the illumination opening ( 112 ).

5. The control panel ( 1 ) of a sickbed having a light source according to claim 4 , wherein an O-shaped sealing ring ( 24 ) is provided around the transparent shroud ( 23 ).

6. The control panel ( 1 ) of a sickbed having a light source according to claim 3 , wherein the control module ( 30 ) comprises a circuit motherboard ( 31 ), a plurality of tactile switches ( 32 ) arranged on the circuit motherboard ( 31 ), and an elastic touch pad ( 33 ) adhered to the circuit motherboard ( 31 ) to activate the tactile switches ( 32 ), the elastic touch pad ( 33 ) being fastened inside the first cover ( 11 ), the second cover ( 12 ) covering the elastic touch pad ( 33 ).

7. The control panel ( 1 ) of a sickbed having a light source according to claim 6 , wherein a surface of the elastic touch pad ( 33 ) is provided with a plurality of keys ( 331 ) at positions corresponding to those of the tactile switches ( 32 ), the second surface ( 121 ) of the second cover ( 12 ) being depicted with a plurality of patterns ( 122 ) at positions corresponding to those of the keys ( 331 ), a plurality of indicators ( 321 ) being provided around each tactile switch ( 32 ) for displaying an ON/OFF state of the tactile switch ( 32 ).
