Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of patient turning, and specifically to a mobile patient turning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] For patients who are bedridden for a long time and cannot turn over independently, turning over is required to avoid pressure sores on the skin. Many patients are relatively heavy, reaching two or three hundred catties. Therefore, many nurses suffer from occupational diseases such as lumbar disc herniation. When multiple nurses turn a patient over together, although the intensity can be reduced, the workload increases, reducing work efficiency. A turning bed can achieve turning over, but many hospital beds do not have the function of turning over. Directly replacing them will cause waste and greatly increase the cost. Therefore, how to achieve assisted turning over of patients is an urgent problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mobile patient turning mechanism to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A mobile patient turning mechanism includes a bottom plate and a plurality of universal wheels with brakes installed circumferentially at the lower end of the bottom plate. An upward support tube is installed at the upper end of the bottom plate, and the upper end of the support tube is hinged to a turning rod with the left end inclined downward. The right end of the turning rod extends out of the support tube to form a turning part, and the left end of the turning rod is hinged with a front-back arranged turning plate. When the turning rod rotates clockwise, the right end of the turning plate can rotate counterclockwise to simulate the action of an arm turning a patient over.

[0005] It also includes a power mechanism arranged between the turning part and the support tube. Through the power mechanism, the turning part can be pulled to rotate around the support tube to turn a patient over.

[0006] The power mechanism includes a cross plate fixed on the upper side of the right end of the support tube, and an upward electric push rod is hinged to the cross plate. The end of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod is hinged to the turning part, and the electric push rod is electrically connected to a storage battery installed at the lower end of the bottom plate.

[0007] The turning rod is tubular, and the cross-section of the inner cavity of the turning rod is square. A telescopic plate is inserted into the left end of the turning rod, and the turning plate is hinged to the left end of the telescopic plate. A second fastening knob with the inner end pressing against the telescopic plate is threadedly connected to the upper left side of the turning rod. By loosening the second fastening knob, the telescopic plate can be pulled out.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom plate is square and arranged horizontally, and the support tube is close to the right side of the bottom plate.

[0009] Preferably, the turning plate is made of acrylic board, and the left end of the turning plate is in a circular arc shape that is convenient to insert under the patient's body.

[0010] Preferably, it includes a telescopic mechanism arranged between the support tube and the bottom plate. Through the telescopic mechanism, the height of the flap can be adjusted to change the flipping arc of the flap.

[0011] Preferably, the telescopic mechanism includes a support cylinder sleeved on the lower end of the support tube, and a first fastening knob with an inner end tightly pressing against the support tube is threadedly connected to the upper side of the circumference of the support cylinder. The lower end of the support cylinder is fixed to the bottom plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 1. Through the universal wheels at the lower end of the bottom plate, it is convenient to move. For patients with a relatively large body size, turning over can be carried out. When in use, the left end of the flap is pushed in from the lower end of one side of the patient's body. The two sides of the patient's body are in an arc shape, which is convenient for the flap to be pushed in. Then, the support tube is pulled to insert the flap under the patient. Next, step on the brake on the universal wheel to achieve fixation. Through the button on the electric push rod, contraction is achieved. The turning rod rotates clockwise, and the flap rotates counterclockwise. The left end abuts against the hospital bed for support, which is also more labor-saving. The right end flips, similar to the flipping of an arm. This turning-over effect is better, reducing the labor intensity of nurses and can also be applied to hospital beds without a turning-over function, being more flexible;

[0014] 2. Loosen the first fastening knob, and the overall height can be adjusted. Loosen the second fastening knob, and the telescopic plate can be pulled out, making it more flexible to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the present invention provides a technical solution for a mobile patient turning mechanism: a mobile patient turning mechanism, including a bottom plate 1 and a plurality of universal wheels 11 with brakes installed circumferentially at the lower end of the bottom plate 1. An upward support tube 12 is installed at the upper end of the bottom plate 1, and a turning rod 13 with a left end inclined downward is hinged to the upper end of the support tube 12. The right end of the turning rod 13 extends out of the support tube 12 to form a turning part 14, and a leftward front-and-rear arranged turning plate 15 is hinged to the left end of the turning rod 13. When the turning rod 13 rotates clockwise, the right end of the turning plate 15 can rotate counterclockwise to simulate the action of an arm turning a patient over. The bottom plate 1 is square and arranged horizontally, and the support tube 12 is close to the right side of the bottom plate 1. When applying force on the left side and the support tube 12 is close to the right side of the bottom plate 1, the balance is better. The turning plate 15 is made of acrylic plate, and the left end of the turning plate 15 is in a circular arc shape convenient for inserting under the patient's body. The left end of the turning plate 15 is inserted under the patient's body. The circular arc shape is convenient for insertion. Using an acrylic plate, compared with stainless steel, it is not so rigid.

[0025] It also includes a power mechanism disposed between the flipping part 14 and the support tube 12. Through the power mechanism, the flipping part 14 can be pulled to rotate around the support tube 12 to turn the patient over. Here, the turning rod 13 rotates, driving the turning plate 15 to flip counterclockwise, simulating the flipping of the arm. Compared with the flat dragging up and down, this kind of flipping is closer to the actual turning situation and has a better effect. The power mechanism includes a cross plate 2 fixed to the upper side of the right end of the support tube 12, and an upward electric push rod 21 is hinged to the cross plate 2. The end of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 21 is hinged to the flipping part 14, and the electric push rod 21 is electrically connected to a storage battery 22 installed at the lower end of the bottom plate 1. A button for controlling the expansion and contraction is provided on the electric push rod 21. It also includes a telescopic mechanism disposed between the support tube 12 and the bottom plate 1. Through the telescopic mechanism, the height of the turning plate 15 can be adjusted to change the flipping radian of the turning plate 15. When the turning plate 15 is higher and then the electric push rod 21 is started, the turning plate 15 moves counterclockwise. Then when the electric push rod 21 contracts to turn the patient over, the angle and radian of the turning plate 15 turning upwards are not so large. It is also suitable for hospital beds of different heights. The telescopic mechanism includes a support cylinder 16 sleeved on the lower end of the support tube 12, and a first fastening knob 17 with an inner end tightly pressing against the support tube 12 is threadedly connected to the upper side of the circumference of the support cylinder 16. The lower end of the support cylinder 16 is fixed to the bottom plate 1. By loosening the first fastening knob 17, the support tube 12 can be telescoped to change the height. The turning rod 13 is tubular, and the cross-sectional shape of the inner cavity of the turning rod 13 is square. A telescopic plate 18 is inserted into the left end of the turning rod 13, and the turning plate 15 is hinged to the left end of the telescopic plate 18. A second fastening knob 19 with an inner end tightly pressing against the telescopic plate 18 is threadedly connected to the upper left side of the turning rod 13. The distance between the turning plate 15 and the patient can be changed for flexible adjustment.

[0026] For the turning plate 15, the front-back length can be set to 70 cm, the left-right width is 50 cm, and the thickness is 3 mm. The length of the support tube 12 is 120 cm. The dimensions here are for reference only and can be adjusted according to actual needs. The bottom plate 1, the support tube 12, the support cylinder 16, the turning rod 13, and the telescopic plate 18 can all be made of stainless steel.

[0027] Working principle: Through the universal wheels 11 at the lower end of the base plate 1, it is convenient to move. It can be used to turn over patients with a relatively large body size. When in use, the left end of the turning plate 15 is pushed in from the lower end of one side of the patient's body. The two sides of the patient's body are in an arc shape, which is convenient for the turning plate 15 to be pushed in. Then, the support tube 12 is pulled to insert the turning plate 15 under the patient. Here, when turning over, the turning plate 15 will move inward. Therefore, it is not necessary to push it in too deeply, which is simple and convenient. Then, step on the brake on the universal wheel 11 to achieve fixation. Through the button on the electric push rod 21, contraction is achieved. The turning rod 13 rotates clockwise, and the turning plate 15 rotates counterclockwise. The left end abuts against the hospital bed for support, which is also more labor-saving. The right end flips, similar to the flipping of an arm. This turning effect is better, reducing the labor intensity of nurses. It can also be applied to hospital beds without a turning function, which is more flexible. Loosen the first fastening knob 17 to adjust the overall height. Loosen the second fastening knob 19 to pull out the telescopic plate for more flexible use.

[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
