Design and Fabrication of Automated Bed Control System for Patients

Hospital beds are manufactured around the world, with each nation providing its own unique qualities and traits to the hospital beds. In researching the beds, we classified into two main types: medical and surgical hospital beds as well as intensive care unit beds. Each personality has developed a various mechanism for lifting the backrest. We have studied various hospitals bed and to develop a good quality bed. Mostly hospital bed are operated manually by means of health care workers, from this both the patients and health care workers feel uncomfortable. To overcome the difficulty manual method is replaced by automatic method .Various bed lifting methods used at present such as screw jack, spring lifting, hydraulic and worm gear mechanism using threaded joints are evolved. From our area of concept is an incorporated new mechanism for swiping motion. An automatic bed control system is particularly adapted for the care of patients at hospitals, and comprises a stationary frame, and a mattress support having a head section, a center section, and foot section, which are in hinging type is interconnected. A lift arm has opposing ends thereof pivotally connected with the frame and the mattress support center section respectively.
