Abstract
A weight measuring system for hospital bed includes a bed bottom frame having two load cell mounting spaces formed at a front end and a rear end of the bed bottom frame between a first and a second supporting frame thereof; and a plurality of load cells mounted on the bed bottom frame to locate in the two load cell mounting spaces. Each load cell includes a supporting unit and at least one strain measurement unit attached to a lateral surface of the supporting unit for measuring an extent of strain elongation of the supporting unit under a bedridden patient's weight. With these arrangements, a nurse can not only measure a bedridden patient's weight without the need of moving the patient, but also monitor the patient's movement on the hospital bed in real time, preventing the patient from getting out of bed alone or carelessly falling off the hospital bed.
