Abstract

A bed device includes: an operation section that receives an operation input; a controller that controls a movement of the bed in accordance with the operation input; a detector that detects a position of a patient on the bed; and, a limitation table that stores a limitation area set on the bed in association with a limitation content, wherein when the position of the patient detected by the detector is included in the limitation area, the limitation content is read out from the limitation table so as to control the controller in accordance with the limitation content. With this configuration, it is possible to provide a higher safety bed device which can not only notify the danger based on the bed movement but also limit the movement of the bed in accordance with the status of the patient or the bed device.

Claims (19)

1. A bed device comprising:

an operation section for receiving operation inputs;

a controller for controlling a movement of the bed device in accordance with the operation inputs, and for detecting a bed mode being an operational mode of the bed device and,

a storage for storing a plurality of bed modes each being in association with one bed operation content of a plurality of bed operation contents which indicate operation inputs, and in association with one limitation content of a plurality of limitation contents, the bed modes causing the controller to control the movement of the bed device so that the bed device takes a predetermined form,

wherein when an operation input is received by the operation section, if a bed mode of the plurality of bed modes has been implemented before entering the operation input, and

if the operation input relates to the one bed operation content associated with the implemented bed mode in the storage, then the controller limits a movement of the bed device with respect to the operation input in accordance with the one limitation content associated with the implemented bed mode and the one bed operation content in the storage.

2. A bed device comprising:

a controller configured to control a movement of the bed device in accordance with a input from a user, and to detect a bed mode of the bed device and,

a storage for storing the bed mode in association with a limitation content,

wherein when the input is received in the case that the bed device is the bed mode, if the operation input relates to the limitation content, then the controller limits a movement of the bed device with respect to the input in accordance with the limitation content.

3. The bed device according to claim 2 , wherein the bed modes causing the controller to control the movement of the bed device so that the bed device takes a predetermined form.

4. The bed device according to claim 1 , wherein the bed mode is an edge-sitting mode in which the bed device takes a predetermined form that allows a patient to sit on an edge of the bed device, wherein a bottom part of the bed device operates to be horizontal, while the height of the bed device is also adjusted.

5. The bed device according to claim 3 , wherein the bed mode is an edge-sitting mode in which the bed device takes a predetermined form that allows a patient to sit on an edge of the bed device, wherein a bottom part of the bed device operates to be horizontal, while the height of the bed device is also adjusted.

6. The bed device according to claim 2 , wherein the limitation content is to perform a control of suspending the movement of the bed device.

7. The bed device according to claim 5 , wherein the limitation content is to perform a control of suspending the movement of the bed device.

8. The bed device according to claim 1 , further comprising a notifying unit configured to notify an alert, when the controller limits a movement of the bed device.

9. The bed device according to claim 2 , further comprising a notifying unit configured to notify an alert, when the controller limits a movement of the bed device.

10. The bed device according to claim 1 , wherein the limitation area is an edge portion in the bed device.

11. The bed device according to claim 3 , wherein the limitation area is an edge portion in the bed device.
