[0038] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0039] Reference Figures 1-9A sponge bath assist device 100 for orthopedic nursing includes: a bed frame 101, a first bed board 102, a first drive member 103 for driving the first bed board 102 to rotate, a second bed board 104, a second drive member 103a for driving the second bed board 104 to rotate, a first protective member for patient protection, a first transmission member for transmitting power to the first protective member, a second protective member for patient protection, a second transmission member for transmitting power to the second protective member, a first support assembly, and a second support assembly. The second bed board 104 is connected to the first bed board 102 by a flexible fabric strip. A mattress is provided on one side of both the second bed board 104 and the first bed board 102.
[0040] The first bed board 102 is rotatably connected to the bed frame 101. A first driving component 103 is mounted on the bed frame 101 and is used to drive the rotation of the first bed board 102. The first driving component 103 is a cylinder; the cylinder body is rotatably connected to the bed frame 101, and its piston is rotatably connected to the first bed board 102. The second bed board 104 is rotatably connected to the bed frame 101. A second driving component 103a is mounted on the bed frame 101 and is used to drive the rotation of the second bed board 104. The structure of the second driving component 103a is the same as that of the first driving component 103.
[0041] The first protective component is rotatably connected to the bed frame 101. The first protective component includes: a first rotating shaft 105, a first connecting rod 106, and a protective block 107. The first rotating shaft 105 is rotatably connected to the bed frame 101. The first connecting rod 106 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 105. The protective block 107 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 106. The second protective component is rotatably connected to the bed frame 101, and its structure is the same as that of the first protective component.
[0042] The first transmission component is mounted on the bed frame 101, enabling relative rotation between the first protective component and the first bed board 102. The first transmission component includes: a second rotating shaft 108, a first gear 109, a second gear 110, a first synchronous pulley 112, a second synchronous pulley 113, and a synchronous belt 114. The second rotating shaft 108 is located at one end of the bed frame 101 and is rotatably connected to it. The first gear 109 is fixedly connected to one end of the first bed board 102. The second gear 110 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 108 and meshes with the first gear 109. The first synchronous pulley 112 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 105. The second synchronous pulley 113 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 108. The two ends of the synchronous belt 114 are respectively fitted onto the first synchronous pulley 112 and the second synchronous pulley 113. Protective covers (not shown in the figure) are provided at the first gear 109 and the second gear 110 to prevent accidental contact.
[0043] The first bed board 102 is located at one end of the bed frame 101, and the first protective member is located at the other end of the bed board. When the first driving member 103 drives the first bed board 102 to rotate, the first protective member rotates relative to it through the first transmission member, thereby protecting the patient while the first bed board 102 is turned over. The second transmission member is installed on the bed frame 101, causing the second protective member to rotate relative to the second bed board 104. The structure of the second protective member is the same as that of the first protective member.
[0044] The first bed board 102 is provided with a first drive shaft 102a at both ends, and the second bed board 104 is provided with a second drive shaft 104a at both ends. The first gear 109 of the first transmission component is fixed to the first drive shaft 102a, and the first gear 109 of the second transmission component is fixed to the second drive shaft 104a. The first driving component 103 drives the first bed board 102 to rotate. The rotation of the first bed board 102 drives the first gear 109 to rotate via the first driving shaft 102a. The rotation of the first gear 109 drives the second gear 110 to rotate relative to it. The rotation of the second gear 110 drives the second rotating shaft 108 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 108 drives the second synchronous pulley 113 to rotate. The second synchronous pulley 113 drives the first synchronous pulley 112 to rotate via the synchronous belt 114, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 105 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 105 drives the first connecting rod 106 to rotate, thereby driving the protective block 107 to rotate. Thus, the first transmission component causes the protective block 107 to rotate relative to the first bed board 102. While the patient is turned over via the first bed board 102, the other end is supported and protected by the protective block 107 to prevent the patient from falling off the bed while turning over.
[0045] When a patient's right hand or right leg is injured, the first drive unit 103 drives the first bed board 102 to rotate, thereby turning the patient to the right side to prevent the right hand and right leg from being trapped underneath. At the same time, the first protective unit provides support and protection on the patient's left side. When a patient's left hand or left leg is injured, the second drive unit 103a drives the second bed board 104 to rotate, thereby turning the patient to the left side to prevent the left hand or right leg from being trapped underneath. At the same time, the second protective unit provides support and protection on the patient's right side, making it easier for medical staff to turn and clean the patient.
[0046] The first support assembly is mounted on the first protective member and is used to support the patient. The first support assembly includes: a second connecting rod 115, a connecting block 116, an adjusting block 117, a bolt 118, a support block 119, and an adjusting member for adjusting the position of the support block 119. The second connecting rod 115 is rotatably connected to the protective block 107. The connecting block 116 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 115. The adjusting block 117 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 116.
[0047] Bolt 118 is threadedly connected to adjusting block 117. Support block 119 is located at the upper end of adjusting block 117. Connecting block 116 has a spherical structure, and adjusting block 117 includes a ball hole 117a. Part of connecting block 116 is located within the ball hole 117a to facilitate angle adjustment of adjusting block 117. Protective block 107 includes a support surface 107a, which supports the second connecting rod 115. Damping blocks are provided at both ends of the second connecting rod 115, preventing it from rotating without external force.
[0048] An adjusting component is installed on the support block 119 to adjust the position of the support block 119. The adjusting component includes: a guide post 120, a baffle 121, a first spring 122, a guide block 123, and a limiting post 124. The guide post 120 is vertically slidably connected to the adjusting block 117. Specifically, the guide post 120 moves along the height direction of the adjusting block 117. The baffle 121 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide post 120. The first spring 122 is sleeved on the guide post 120, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the adjusting block 117 and the baffle 121, respectively. The guide block 123 is fixed to one end of the guide post 120. The limiting post 124 is fixedly connected to the support block 119. The support block 119 includes a receiving groove for accommodating hands and legs.
[0049] The support block 119 includes a guide groove 119a, and the guide block 123 is located within the guide groove 119a and rotates along the guide groove 119a. The adjusting block 117 includes a limiting hole 117b, which is used to limit the position of the limiting post 124. Multiple limiting holes 117b are provided, equidistantly distributed along the circumference of the guide post 120, to facilitate adjustment of the support block 119 at different angles. Loosening the bolt 118 and then adjusting the position of the support block 119 facilitates 180° adjustment of the support block 119 when the second connecting rod 115 is flipped, providing convenient support for the hands and legs. Simultaneously, when a more comfortable angle needs to be adjusted, the support block 119 is pushed. The movement of the support block 119 causes the limiting post 124 to move, disengaging the limiting post 124 from the limiting hole 117b. Then, the support block 119 is adjusted to a suitable angle and released. Under the action of the first spring 122, the limiting post 124 will re-insert into the limiting hole 117b, facilitating adjustment while ensuring patient comfort during support. The second support assembly is installed on the second protective component and is used for patient support. The second support assembly has the same structure as the first support assembly.
[0050] Working principle: The first driving component 103 drives the first bed board 102 to rotate. The rotation of the first bed board 102 drives the first gear 109 to rotate via the first driving shaft 102a. The rotation of the first gear 109 drives the second gear 110 to rotate relative to it. The rotation of the second gear 110 drives the second rotating shaft 108 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 108 drives the second synchronous pulley 113 to rotate. The second synchronous pulley 113 drives the first synchronous pulley 112 to rotate via the synchronous belt 114, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 105 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 105 drives the first connecting rod 106 to rotate, thereby driving the protective block 107 to rotate. Thus, the first transmission component causes the protective block 107 to rotate relative to the first bed board 102. While the patient is turned over by the first bed board 102, the other end is supported and protected by the protective block 107 to prevent the patient from falling off the bed when turning over.
[0051] Loosen bolt 118 and adjust the position of support block 119 to facilitate 180° adjustment of support block 119 when the second connecting rod 115 is flipped, providing support for the hands and legs. Simultaneously, when a more comfortable angle is needed, push support block 119. The movement of support block 119 moves the limiting post 124, disengaging it from the limiting hole 117b. Then, adjust support block 119 to a suitable angle and release it. Under the action of the first spring 122, the limiting post 124 will re-insert into the limiting hole 117b, facilitating adjustment while ensuring patient comfort during support.
[0052] This application also discloses a method for assisting in orthopedic nursing with sponge bathing, including the following steps:
[0053] S1. The patient lies flat on the first bed board 102 and the second bed board 104, and then the first drive unit 103 is driven to rotate the first bed board 102, thereby turning the patient over.
[0054] S2. The first driving component 103 will drive the protective block 107 through the first transmission component to support and protect the patient, preventing the patient from rolling off when turning over.
[0055] S3. Finally, by rotating the second connecting rod 115 and adjusting the position of the support block 119, support is provided for the patient's hands or feet.
