Benefits of technology

The invention provides a bed with a load detection function that is simple and easily incorporated into existing beds. This allows for an easy and cost-effective way to add a load detection function to a bed without adding many parts. Overall, the invention simplifies the process of creating beds that have advanced load detection functions.

Problems solved by technology

This is extremely troublesome.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to arrange the load detector in the empty space between the bed body and the installation surface.
For this reason, a bed with a load detection function will become extremely expensive.
Moreover, it is difficult to achieve weight reduction due to the increase in the number of parts.

Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide a bed to which a load detection function is added with a simple structure, while suppressing an increase in the number of parts. The invention also provide a bed with a load detection function in which a load cell of a load detector is incorporated into a caster mechanism of a leg section in a bed body. Additionally, a load detector suitable for the bed is provided.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a bed with a load detection function that detects a change in the load applied to a bed body and detects the state of a user on a bed surface of the bed body, using a load detector attached to the bed body, and a load detector for adding a load detection function to a bed.[0003]Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-10401 filed on Jan. 20, 2012, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]For example, in beds to be used in medical institutions, nursing facilities, child care institutions, lodging facilities, ordinary homes, or the like, methods of detecting a change in the load applied to a bed body, and detecting the conditions (getting into bed, getting out of bed, positions while staying in bed, body motions, or the like) of a user (a sick person, a person to be cared, an infant, a healthy person, or the like...
