本研究利用气动成长机制，发展出一种新型的卧床病人辅助吊带。Growing Sling专注于通过自动化吊衣插入和收回过程，同时保持安全性和舒适性，最大限度地减少护理人员的劳动投入。对典型的生长机构进行了改进，用轴和纤维带加强吊索，以限制吊索的高度，以确保其设计目的。对结构进行受力分析，以解释自动插入过程的驱动力，并确保组件的结构完整性。对材料和原型装置进行了实验，以确定吊索需要承受的定量载荷以及适合制造的材料类型。此外，我们提出了一个制造过程中不断增长的吊索，包括它的尺寸，并验证制造的原型的性能。
In this study, a new type of sling for assisting bedridden patients is developed using a pneumatic growing mechanism. Growing Sling focuses on minimizing the labor input of the caregivers by automating the sling insertion and retraction process while maintaining safety and comfort. Improvements over the typical growing mechanism were made by reinforcing the sling with shafts and filament tape for restricting the height of the sling to ensure its design purpose. Analysis of forces exerted on the structure was made to interpret the driving power of the automated insertion process and to ensure the structural integrity of components. Experiments on materials and prototype devices were conducted to determine the quantitative load that the sling needs to endure and what type of material is suitable for fabrication. Further, we propose a fabrication process for the Growing Sling, including its dimensions, and validate the performance of the fabricated prototype.
