Wireless diagnostics instrument
Hand-held device or instrument 300 (Figure 34) are self-sustainings, and comprise antenna 301, wireless transmitter and receptor, and it under identical basic agreement, operates as the wireless connections connecting ambulance cot and loading system in the normal operation period.Such as collect and configure controling parameters and initialize the operation of simple or complicated diagnostic test, all supported by this interface.By design, this hand-held device can have four kinds of main operator schemes:
Two-direction, main dynamic formula communication pattern: hand-held device and another wireless device interact;
Multidirectional active communication pattern: hand-held device and two or more wireless devices interact;
Passive type " only listens " pattern: the communication activity existed near one or more wireless device observed by hand-held device, and do not disturb it; With
Start and at least read or write RFID label tag described below (also can be included in two-way communication).
The communication of two-direction, main dynamic formula allows hand-held device directly and interact with an ambulance cot (or a loading system) uniquely, so as during programming or the trouble shooting stage streamlined communication is provided.The participation of intercommunication permission hand-held device communicates with other participant multiple, and is allowed for more complicated trouble shooting and diagnostic operation.Such as, when being placed in loading system by ambulance cot, and when being placed near radio communication field by hand-held device, these two devices can be made to interact, thus gather information or permission user start special test program, to check the operation of loading algorithm.For two-way and multidirectional pattern, wireless diagnostics instrument can detect suitable operator scheme automatically, the quantity of the participant of this activity detected in radio communication place based on it." only listening " pattern is entered under user's prompting of hand-held device.This pattern is passive in nature, and can be used for analyzing from a device (ambulance cot or loading system), or by the communication of the multiple devices carrying out each other diagnosing.
The electronic controller of ambulance cot comprises software, with support wireless diagnosis capability.The function of this software can detect in the loading system of attempting to carry out communicating and attempt to initialize the difference between the wireless handheld device diagnosing dialogue.When making this and judging, ambulance cot can enter talks with the standard of loading system, with the special session of hand-held device (if there is no loading system), or relates in the three-dimensional dialogue of hand-held device and loading system.In the later case, the loading sequence operation of ambulance cot software permitting deformation, is supported in one group of specific diagnostic operation useful in the trouble shooting of whole system simultaneously.
The electronic controller of loading system also can be talked with at the basic communication for compression and decompression and relate to the difference between the dialogue of diagnostic operation.Utilize similar software, loading system will participate in the special two-way communication with hand-held device, or allows this device under the condition that there is ambulance cot, coexists during load or unload operation.It can detect the difference between these various operator schemes, and therefore works, and provides necessary behaviour.

Referring to Figure 34, present district 130 provided below is cot antenna 193.Load arm (see WO2004/064698, being load arm 194 in Figure 34) on ambulance comprises load arm antenna 196.These two antennas 193 and 196 provide the communication between ambulance cot and loading system, and with the communication of hand-held device.Antenna additionally provides a kind of in check communication letter bag, to allow the communication of any ambulance cot and any loading system or hand-held trouble shooting device, while can not other loading system/ambulance cot in interference region.In a preferred embodiment, the same with tool antenna 301 as loaded antenna 196, cot antenna 193 (Figure 34) is made up of coil.Proving, by making modulated current pass coil, will generate an electromagnetic field, it can be received by other coil in environment.It is also known that this modulation " carrier wave " can be added on digital signal, thus allow transmission of digital signals on modulated carrier.Such communication is commonly called initiatively vicarious and connects.
When as described in be configured time, cot antenna 193 also can be used for remote activation and reads being arranged on load arm 194 or the radio frequency identification that is provided with on the current collector (trolley) 190 of load arm 194 or RFID label tag 302 (Figure 34) above.Therefore, ambulance cot can be configured to optionally to be connected with loading system and instrument by initiatively vicarious that one of them is conversed; And activate and read or write RFID label tag 302.RFID label tag 302 can be used for realizing in ambulance/securing member in closing characteristics (below by display and be described in more detail), and identification is for the device of other specific RFID reader, especially as follows:
Coding (1 byte) Product code (2 bytes) CRC (1 byte) The RFID label tag that product is special
This Information Availability in configuration hand-held tool, or is provided for the contact information of maintenance.
In addition, out of Memory can be write and read one of them kind information of RFID label tag 302, comprises one of them information following: the model of device, serial number, software version and usage statistics (its can comprise the ambulance cot of the different dynamic for system quantity and diagnostic tool is accessed or in the number of times of change ambulance cot or loading system at least one of them).
Below will to be set forth between ambulance cot and closure system or to set up communication at ambulance cot or between loading system and trouble shooting hand-held device, and the mode that of communication between them exemplary.
Header is a kind of special sequence real data and random noise separated.Header has comprising ' spcial character of illegal ' length.This is initial by prompting processor data bag.
Error recovery position
Packet uses four bits (bit) for error recovery (P0, P1, P2, P3).Error correction techniques utilizes Hamming code algorithm, its bit that will processor correction allowed misjudged.Suppose the BER of appropriateness, the probability of impaired individual bit is relatively high, and the probability of impaired multiple bit is relatively much lower.Consider correction 1 bit, it realizes whole larger handling capacity by causing under the relatively low cost of additional bit.
Parity check bit guarantees that the one of data integrity is additionally verified.Parity check bit utilizes basic even parity memory to calculate; Parity check bit is set, makes the quantity of 1 in packet will be an even number all the time.Permission detects the second dislocation by parity check bit; But, can not be revised it.
Here 8 data bit are had.Data bit notices the information relevant to ambulance cot state, action request or diagnostic message.Highest order (D7) indicates these data whether to be in diagnostic mode.If be in diagnostic mode, remain 7 bit indication diagnosis codes or response.Otherwise each bit is used as the independent tag of certain state.If transport layer obtains a response, so just by value transmit to master controller; If do not find response, so this value is 0.

Table 3-example
Also can provide when for RFID label tag 302, in ambulance/ambulance in the software of closing characteristics.When for (to detect RFID label tag) during loading system, upper layer software (applications) block diagram may seem shown in similar Figure 59.
In operation, referring to Figure 59, upon start up, whether ambulance cot attempt communicates with loading system, exist to detect it.If communication (com) exist, just according to specific and independently loading agreement carry out n-back test.If there is no, ambulance cot communication will be switched to inspection RFID label tag.If there is no, ambulance cot drives according to standard ambulance cot agreement.If ambulance cot sees RFID label tag, so it will check low level Hall effect (HE) sensor (to determine whether ambulance cot supporting leg shrinks).Once shrink completely, so ambulance cot is just forbidden driving (upwards), and therefore to activate in ambulance/securing member in closing characteristics.Check that the advantage of low level HE sensor is, allow ambulance cot to park, but the function not exclusively loaded.Can reasonably suppose once ambulance cot shrinks completely, so it will lock onto in loading system, and will be pushed in ambulance.Another advantage is, by falling underframe by hand simply, low level HE sensor is no longer activated, and standard of can recovering drives function, therefore allows the standard driving carrying out ambulance cot under loss loads the particular condition of communication.
The standard that shows in Figure 25 drives, but Figure 60 and 61 shows when there is RFID label tag 302 in whole system, for the decision tree of software.
Telescopic Head Section and blocking device
By comparing Figure 35 and 36, will be noted that, ambulance cot 10 comprises telescopic Head Section 197.This feature can be located on hand-operated lifting ambulance cot or powered lift ambulance cot.In powered lift environment, as shown in Figure 37, telescopic Head Section 197 normally U-shaped, namely has a pair of parallel supporting leg 198 and 199 be connected on Head Section railing 203 by a pair bracket 202.Cross-brace 200 (Figure 62) is also connected with bracket 202.The front rail 201 of tubulose is rotatably installed in cross-brace 200.Supporting leg 198 and 199 is configured to the inside (as shown), neighbouring or below of the longitudinal extension sidebar bar 66 be slidably received within corresponding ambulance cot 10.Handle 210 is fixed on front rail 201, be convenient to front rail 201 and carry out gyration around the axis corresponding or parallel with the axis of front rail 201, so that the pin 204 protruded from each handle 210 limits around the axis by front rail 201 or rotation axis parallel with it moves.Pin 204 is through the bow-shaped recess 215 in bracket 202.Handle 210 is fixing, and what make a handle 210 actuates the rotation achieving front rail 201, and the actuating of another handle 210 ensuing, thus can discharge Head Section by actuating of single handle 210.Pin 204 is connected on each supporting leg 198 and 199 on blocking mechanism 207 by connecting rod 206.Blocking mechanism 207 is showed in greater detail in Figure 42 and 43.More specifically, blocking mechanism 207 comprises shell 208, and wherein ramp mechanism (rampmechanism) 209 is slidably disposed on the longitudinal direction of shell 208.Ramp mechanism 209 comprises inclined-plane 211, and pin 212 is shelved on inclined-plane 211.Pin 212 comprises latch 213, and it is configured to can transverse shifting turnover shell 208.The position being positioned at enclosure is shown in Figure 37 and 42.Spring (not shown) pushing pin 212 is resisted against on chamfered surface 211.When handle 210 rotates around the rotation axis corresponding or parallel with the longitudinal axis of front rail 201, pin 204 moves to the position shown in Figure 40 from the position shown in Figure 39, cause connecting rod 206 motion left in each supporting leg 198 and 199, pin 212 is caused to move to the position shown in Figure 43 from its position shown in Figure 42, that is, wherein latch 212 cross-direction shrinkage to the position in the shell 208 of blocking mechanism 207.Provide groove 205 in connecting rod 206, it allows when handle 210 is released, the joint that the independence of latch 213 is passive.Shown by this has in Figure 41.Length along side rails 66 provides multiple hole 214, and is configured to, when being in its extended position as shown in figure 37, can accept latch 213.This some holes is positioned to get at them, is namely in below the buffer be located at outside stretcher railing 66.This is done to avoid to be released unintentionally, exogenous impurity or possible folder point.When latch is contained in the relevant hole 214 be located in side rails 66, telescopic Head Section will physically be locked on ambulance cot, be in punctured position (Figure 35) or extended position (Figure 36).
In another embodiment of telescopic Head Section 197, as shown in Figure 57-58 and 62, handle 210 can be locked and not rotate around front rail 201, to prevent the release of blocking mechanism 207.Referring to Figure 57, safety rod 218 is fixed on installation bracket 260, and it is arranged in cross-brace 200 pivotally.Installation bracket 260 is by being arranged in cross-brace 200, and the torsion spring 261 engaged with installation bracket 260 and bracket 202 and be biased into resting position.With reference to U.S. Patent application No.10/850144 co-pending, wherein safety rod 218 rotates up towards the head end of ambulance cot in a counterclockwise manner by retinue nurse, and crosses the uncinus on the oral area being arranged on ambulance cargo region.In the present invention, installation bracket 260 is configured to also can make safety rod 218 in clockwise manner, and the inside towards ambulance cot rotates up, and is used as " locking failure device ", to prevent the release of blocking mechanism 207.

Central yoke 278 is made up of two bars 282,283, and it is set to the mirror image of the centrage around fork angle system 276.Each bar 282,283 comprises longitudinal component 284, and 285 and the part 286,287 of outside bifurcated, the part of each outside bifurcated rises to uncinus directed backward or " lug " 288, on 289.
York piece 280 comprises the arm 291,292 being fixed on core 290 on ambulance cargo floor and two outside bifurcateds.The each terminating of these arms is at " lug " 293, and on 294, the respective ledge 288 of itself and central yoke 278,289 are connected.
When first ambulance cot 10 being rolled into the head end in ambulance cargo region shown in the arrow in such as Figure 63, safety rod 218 contacts with central yoke 278.When ambulance cot 10 rolls further, central yoke 278 forces safety rod 218 to move backward, until safety rod 218 rides the longitudinal component 284 of the bar 282,283 of central yoke 278, till time on 285.Again referring to Figure 58, before retainer 272 arrives axle 266, activate locking failure device.This can make ambulance cot 10 utilize the fork angle system had compared with low profile, still activates locking failure device simultaneously.When safety rod 218 is in the position of rotation of Figure 64, activates locking failure device, thus telescopic Head Section 197 is locked in extended position.Maintenance is activated state by locking failure device, until when removing ambulance cot 10 from fork angle system 276.When further driven forward ambulance cot 10, fixing wheel 216, at the lug 288,289 and 293 of central yoke and forward direction york piece 278,280, rolls between 294, and is rolled in fork angle system 276.
Should notice that the longitudinal axis of side rails 66 tilts (see Figure 35) with 1 ° to certain angle [alpha] within the scope of 10 ° relative to horizontal line.In this embodiment, preferred angle is in the scope of 2 to 3 °.Therefore, when telescopic Head Section 197 shrinks, the bogie wheel 216 be positioned on the framework of telescopic Head Section 197 raises from ground 217, thus ambulance cot can be made to scroll up any side of four castors 14.State that this is called as " without driving ".When telescopic Head Section 197 is stretched over the position shown in Figure 36, bogie wheel 216 will engage with supporting surface 217, thus when ambulance cot moves on surface 217, drive effect (" driving " state) for ambulance cot provides.In this embodiment, each bogie wheel 216 can rotate around fixing horizontal axis of rotation.That is, take turns 216 not support in castor mode.Head Section 197 must be in the extended position of Figure 36, enters into ambulance to drive, thus engages with fork angle system 276.
Folding safety rod
As shown in Figure 37, telescopic Head Section 197 comprises safety rod 218.Safety rod is configured to operationally engage with the ground safety door hook being located at ambulance cargo region, thus prevents ambulance cot from rolling out outside ambulance completely, and does not need to accompany the head end that nurse handles ambulance cot there.Referring to the U.S. Patent application No.10/850144 co-pending submitted to May 20 in 2004, its theme is incorporated herein by reference.As shown in Figure 44-46, can provide the safety rod 218A of improvement, it can fold between the non-folding position shown in the folding position shown in Figure 45 and Figure 46.That is, safety rod 218A comprises two parts 219 and 221 interconnected by pivot 222.Safety rod part 219 and 221 roughly has identical length, and pivot 222 is oriented on the mid-length portion of the stretching, extension handle shown in Figure 46.Handle portion 219 and 221 is locked in corresponding folding position (Figure 45) and non-folding position (Figure 46) by the releasable lock pin 223 provided.The release-push provided or detachable pin or other releasing device (not shown), for activating lock pin, to open them, and are convenient to the relative motion between handle portion 219 and 221.
Figure 50-56 shows two can the adnexa be incorporated on ambulance cot 10 as required.Show the first adnexa in Figure 50-51, it is the hook-like part 239 be oriented in ambulance cot periphery, and specifically, it is fixed on rising and the downside of the grabber 241 that can fall on ambulance cot 10.Hook-like part 239 is made up of sheet material, and form J-shaped, wherein the bar portion of J-shaped is fixed on horizontal hurdle axle 242, is positioned at the downside of grabber 241, and the hook portion 243 of J-shaped is towards the head end (left end) of the ambulance cot as shown in Figure 50-51.Hook-like part 239 is convenient to when ambulance cot uses, for the suspension of various object.
The second adnexa is depicted in Figure 52-56, it is folding pouch 244, fixing and at the supporting leg 198 of Head Section 197, extend between 199, and fixing and extend (Fig. 5) between the Head Section and front rail 59 of front rail 201 stretcher framework 17.As shown in Figure 54, pouch 244 is made up of a flat fabric 237, and the multiple securing members 247 and 248 made are fixed on fabric 237, its periphery around piece of cloth 246 and being fixed on isolated position.Securing member 247 is around front rail 59 and 201, and securing member 248 is around the supporting leg 198 on spaced Head Section.When Head Section 197 is in the extended position shown in Figure 52 and 53, piece of cloth 246 stretches between longitudinally-spaced front rail 59 and 201 and spaced supporting leg 198, thus provides supporting surface 249.When Head Section 197 is retracted to the position shown in Figure 55 and 56, front rail 59 and 201 becomes very close to each other, and piece of cloth 246 is accepted with folding pattern between which.
Although those of skill in the art are by reading details above and describe and referring to the performance characteristic of attached accompanying drawing by comprehension ambulance cot, will set forth the performance characteristic of ambulance cot conveniently below.
When ambulance cot is in the position of accepting completely, referring to Fig. 4 and 7, the axis both clockwise (Fig. 7) causing bracket 43 around securing member 44 rotates by the stretching, extension of linear actuator 53, and linear actuator stretches upwards in the side of arrow 224.By the position (Fig. 4) of the regular length determination securing member 44 of linkage component 41.Due to this geometry, the strength on arrow 224 direction is best, and achieves stretcher 16 is elevated to the stretcher shown in Fig. 1 fast through the medium height position shown in Fig. 2 complete height and position from the position shown in Fig. 3 and 4.When bracket 43 raises along with the continuous stretching, extension of linear actuator 53, another X-shaped frame parts 32,33,36 and 37 will outwards collapse, to adapt to the height change of the frame parts 22 and 23 of underframe 11.In this embodiment, the pivot 24 for two brackets 43 passes corresponding X-shaped frame parts 22,23 and 32,33.As a result, need, at each another X-shaped frame parts 26,27 and 36, to provide elongate grooves in 37, to adapt to the existence of pivot 24.Should understand, the orientation of pivot 24 is oriented on certain position of bracket 43, and this will make not need to provide the batter that is coupling in each X-shaped frame parts 23 and 33, and provide elongate grooves in another X-shaped frame parts 27 and 37.This provide the advantage improving underframe strength and stiffness.When stretcher 16 is reduced to the position shown in Fig. 3 and 4, support 226 (Fig. 1) will operatively engage with the front rail be located on the downside of stretcher 16, and auxiliary stand 227 is by the front rail 13 that is shelved on underframe.Support 226 and 227 is oriented, and its retinue nurse be not easy near by ambulance cot is got at, therefore avoids by the problem of pressing from both sides.
Referring to Figure 11, each press button 84,86 on foot lifting handle assembly 72 needs two groups of switch contacts to engage, so that the order needed for performing.That is, in order to realize such as making reciprocating lever 56 be retracted in hydraulic cylinder shell 54, this group contact 228,229 must be closed.Similarly, these two groups of contacts 231 and 232 of switch 86 will realize reciprocating lever 56 and stretch out from hydraulic cylinder shell 54.
Forward Figure 17-25 to now, will describe now hydraulic circuit operation.Suppose that ambulance cot is in ambulance, and be in now in the process removed from ambulance, need to make underframe be deployed into the position shown in Fig. 1 from the position shown in Fig. 3, as in WO2004/064698 award.Under usual controller 158 is in the state being called as " sleep " pattern.Once there is order, such as, by pressing switch 86, during to close contact 231 and 232, this action noticed by controller 158, thus the activation of executive circuit, to open valve 137 (valve), thus valve is moved to the position of Figure 18 from the position of its Figure 17.The inquiry (see Figure 25) that this controller also will generate about high top sensor 166 and 167 whether having been detected, if do not had, motor 122 by speed change (ramped in), to drive hydraulic pump 124.Once electrical motors is to its maximal rate, motor by ongoing operation, with maximal rate driving pump, until when sensor 167 being detected, at this moment, the speed of motor declines or little by little demotes, until when high top sensor 166 being detected, at this moment just motor is stopped.If contact 231 and 232 keeps closing, so motor will still keep stopping, until when retinue nurse has released button 86.By the hole 136 in valve 134 (valve F), underframe can be prevented to be deployed into Fig. 1 position uncontrollably fast from Fig. 3 position.Accompany nurse afterwards and further upwards " touch " stretcher by pressing switch.In this case, excited electric motor is reached shorter interval by controller, allows cumulative the moving upward of stretcher.
Figure 19 shows stretcher from Fig. 1 position towards the decline of Fig. 3 position.In this case, actuatable switches 84, to close contact 228 and 229, thus opens valve 146 (valve B).It should be noted, fluid flows out the blind end of linear actuator 53, through pressure compensated flow control valve 143, through check-valves 144, flows to storage tank 141 through the valve B opened.Hydraulic fluid, by from storage tank 141, enters the bar end of linear actuator 53 via check-valves 153 suction of hydraulic fluid.When this is special, do not need the operation of motor 122, and therefore not excited electric motor 122.If the stretcher of ambulance cot is raised (not having weight on the underframe of ambulance cot), so the pressure owing to reducing is detected rising by pressure switch 159, as long as and switch 84 and its contact 228 and 229 keep closing, motor 122 all will be activated, and driven in the opposite rotation direction, thus realize fluid being rapidly actuated in the bar end of linear actuator 53, to pack up ambulance cot rapidly.But before this occurs, valve B will turn back to its initial position as shown in Figure 17 as valve.As alternative, independent switch (not shown) can be provided to realize identical packing up ambulance cot fast.Because due to the existence of reciprocating lever 56, hydraulic fluid required for the bar end of linear actuator 53 is fewer than the hydraulic fluid required for the opposite end at hydraulic cylinder shell 54, so needs are oozed out excessive fluid from the blind end of hydraulic cylinder shell, and this is realized by the high pressure side of pump, pump provides pressurization signal to open check-valves 133 and check-valves 139, thus is convenient to some hydraulic fluid flows to storage tank during underframe 11 is raised fast by hydraulic circuit.Once lower position sensor be detected, just little by little reduce the speed of motor, until minimum sensor 164 detected, now motor is stopped.If press button 84 still keeps state of activation, maintenance stops by motor, until when retinue nurse discharges the button 84 of manual engagement.Accompany nurse afterwards by pressing switch and further downwards " touching " stretcher.In this case, excited electric motor is reached shorter interval by controller, allows progressive the moving downward of stretcher.
Performance characteristic shown in Figure 21 is similar to the performance characteristic described in Figure 18.Even if when motor 122 is activated with driving pump 124, hole or reducer 136 also limit drivable Fluid Volume, and make when stretcher raises by ambulance retinue nurse, foundation unit can drop down from stretcher controllably.
When losing electric functions, manual operation ambulance cot must be feasible.In addition, provide seepage valve (weep valve) 233 at the bar end of hydraulic cylinder shell 54, cause when bar full extension, pressure occurs and reduces.That is, the hydraulic fluid of hydraulic cylinder shell 54 inside will communicate with outlet 127, to be limited in the inside build-up pressure of hydraulic cylinder shell 54.Consider the structure of valve 151 and 157, and the weight on ambulance cot 10, allow that handle 103 is the same as shown in Figure 12-14 with Figure 29 with valve 157 to be operated.Because the pressure in the chamber 181 of valve 151 is high, so valve 151 can not move (as shown in Figure 29) in response to the operational movement of handle 103, and the stretcher 16 of ambulance cot 10 can not reduce.On the other hand, when raising stretcher 16 from underframe 11 by retinue nurse or multiple retinue nurse and remove the weight on stretcher 16, hydraulic pressure in the chamber 181 of valve 151 will reduce, the motion in face 188 so that platform 186 and the valve seat 187 (Figure 31) above it are lifted off a seat, thus be convenient to valve 151 and valve 157 operation (Figure 28-30, especially Figure 30) simultaneously.That is, fluid flows to storage tank from the blind end of linear actuator 53 through valve 151, and hydraulic fluid is drawn into the bar end of linear actuator 53 by siphon from storage tank 141, thus realizes the reduction of stretcher 16 relative to underframe 11.Similarly, suppose that Electricity Functional still lacks, and need underframe to be deployed into Fig. 1 position from Fig. 3 position, so accompany nurse and needs are raised ambulance cot, operating grip 103 simultaneously, cause the weight of underframe 11, to realize blind end fluid being drawn into linear actuator 53 from storage tank, the hydraulic fluid in the bar end of simultaneously linear actuator 53 flows to storage tank through the valve 157 opened.
