Abstract

A movable bed contains a base, a moving assembly, a first electric actuator, a second electric actuator, a driving shaft for matching with a support stand, and a lifting rack. The moving assembly includes four rollers fitted into two rails of the base. The base includes a centrally horizontal rod with a U-shaped piece. A top end of the first electric actuator is rotatably coupled with a connecting piece of the driving shaft, and the driving shaft has two ends connecting with the support stand and two U-shaped pieces. The second electric actuator includes a bottom end fixed on the moving assembly and a top end rotatably coupled with a L-shaped piece of a first plate of the lifting rack, one end of the first plate is rotatably joined with a second plate. The second plate is rotatably connected with a pushing bar also rotatably joined with the moving assembly.

Claims

1. A movable bed comprising a base, a moving assembly, a first electric actuator, a second electric actuator, a driving shaft for matching with a support stand, and a lifting rack;

the moving assembly being formed in an elongated frame shape and including four rollers disposed on four lower sides of four downward extending posts thereof and fitted into two rails of the base, such that the four rollers slide in the two rails so as to drive the movable bed to move;

wherein

the base includes a centrally horizontal rod on which a U-shaped piece extends outwardly from a central position of the centrally horizontal rod so as to rotatably connect with a bottom end of the first electric actuator;

a top end of the first electric actuator is rotatably coupled with a connecting piece of the driving shaft, and the driving shaft has two ends connecting with the support stand and two U-shaped pieces arranged on one end of the base, such that when a first pushing column of the first electric actuator extends or retracts, the driving shaft is driven by the first pushing column to swing at different angles, and then the support stand is pushed or pulled by the driving shaft to lift or descend;

the second electric actuator includes a bottom end fixed on the moving assembly and a top end rotatably coupled with a L-shaped piece of a first plate of the lifting rack, one end of the first plate is rotatably joined with a second plate so that the first plate rotates relative to the second plate; and

the second plate is rotatably connected with a pushing bar which is also rotatably joined with the moving assembly, such that the second plate is supported by the pushing rod and causing the moving assembly to lift or descend.
