Abstract
Description
A wearable automatic body washing device Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of body washing technology, and more particularly to a wearable automatic body washing device. Background Technology
[0002] Due to various factors, there are often patients in clinical practice or community care who require long-term bed rest. These patients, unable to get out of bed, experience varying degrees of decreased or even loss of self-care abilities. Furthermore, due to the potential complications of prolonged bed rest, such as urinary tract infections, perineal infections, and perianal infections, it is necessary to strengthen hygiene and prevent infection.
[0003] To maintain cleanliness and prevent infection, the standard practice is for someone else to provide cleaning services. However, this involves personal and private areas, which can easily affect a patient's self-esteem. Furthermore, patients who are cared for by others for extended periods may feel guilty, which can undermine their confidence. Therefore, this practice needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that the existing technology usually uses a mode of washing by others, which involves personal privacy, can easily affect the patient's self-esteem, and patients who are cared for by others for a long time may feel guilty and have their self-confidence weakened. Therefore, a wearable automatic body washing device is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A wearable automatic body washing device includes a front part, a rear part, a crotch part, and two leg openings defined by these parts. It further includes: a first support plate fixedly connected to the surface of the front part; a first support disk fixedly connected to the side wall of the first support plate; the first support disk being hollow; and a first spray nozzle opening on the side wall of the first support disk; a sponge brush head fixedly connected to the side wall of the first support disk; a cleaning liquid tank disposed on the side wall of the first support plate; a suction pump fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning liquid tank; a first outlet pipe fixedly connected between the suction pump and the first support disk; and the first outlet pipe, the inner cavity of the first support disk, and the first spray nozzle communicating with each other; and a drain outlet opened on the rear side wall; a sewage pipe fixedly connected to the drain outlet.
[0007] To facilitate adjustment of the distance between the front and back sections according to the patient's own condition, preferably, the two sides of the front and back sections are connected together by Velcro, and a three-dimensional protective barrier is fixedly connected around the leg opening.
[0008] To facilitate fine-tuning of the distance between the sponge brush head and the patient's perineum, an elastic airbag is fixedly connected to the front side near the rear side, and an inflation device is fixedly connected to the surface of the elastic airbag. The first support plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the elastic airbag, the first liquid outlet tube is a flexible tube, and a sliding rod is slidably connected to the side wall of the first support plate. The sliding rod is fixedly connected to the first support plate.
[0009] To further limit the movement range of the slide bar, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide bar, and a first spring is fixedly connected between the limiting block and the first support plate.
[0010] To further improve the cleaning effect, a motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the first support plate, and a lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A slider is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw. The first support plate and the front side wall are both provided with first sliding grooves. The slider is slidably connected in the first sliding groove, and the slide rod passes through the slider and is slidably connected to the slider.
[0011] To further enhance the support performance of the first support plate during use, a slide bar is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the first support plate near the rear. A support tube is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide bar, and a second spring is fixedly connected between the first support plate and the support tube.
[0012] To facilitate fixing the position of the slider, a T-shaped post is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support tube, and a third spring is fixedly connected between the T-shaped post and the support tube. The surface of the slider has multiple slots, and the T-shaped post matches the slots.
[0013] To facilitate adjustment of the deformation range of the elastic airbag as needed, the inflation device further includes a vacuum pump fixedly connected to the side wall of the first support plate, and an inflation tube and an extraction tube are connected between the vacuum pump and the elastic airbag.
[0014] To facilitate cleaning around the patient's anus, a diversion plate is fixedly connected to the rear part near the front. The diversion plate is hollow, and one side of the diversion plate is fixedly connected to the first outlet pipe through a second outlet pipe. Multiple support columns are fixedly connected to the other side of the diversion plate, and a massage sponge head is fixedly connected to one end of each support column. Multiple second spray nozzles are opened on the side wall of the diversion plate, and the second spray nozzles are spaced apart from the support columns.
[0015] To facilitate massage of the patient, the inner wall of the diverter plate is rotatably connected to a first rotating rod, and the outer wall of the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to an impeller. The outlet end of the second liquid outlet pipe is aligned with the blades of the impeller. The outer wall of the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear, and the outer wall of one of the support columns is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear, and a chain is connected between adjacent support columns for transmission.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a wearable automatic body washing device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This wearable automatic body washing device involves wearing the crotch section around the patient's groin. The distance between the front and back sections is adjusted according to the patient's individual needs, and the front and back sections are connected with Velcro. Activating the suction pump causes the cleansing solution in the tank to pass sequentially through the first outlet pipe and the inner cavity of the first support plate, finally spraying it onto the patient's perineum from the first spray nozzle. This facilitates rinsing the perineum. Simultaneously, the moving sponge brush head further cleanses the perineum, improving the cleaning effect. The patient can clean their perineum independently, reducing the risk of infection and enhancing their confidence and self-esteem.
[0018] 2. This wearable automatic body washing device injects gas into the inflation tube by controlling a vacuum pump, thereby increasing the volume of the elastic airbag. The elastic airbag drives the first support plate to move. During this process, the slide rod slides on the side wall of the first support plate. On the one hand, this makes it easy to adjust the distance between the sponge brush head and the patient according to their own situation. On the other hand, since the first support plate is made of rigid material, the patient is in direct contact with the elastic airbag, which helps to improve the comfort during use. After use, the air in the elastic airbag is discharged from the suction tube by controlling the vacuum pump, so that the elastic airbag is in a deflated state, which is convenient for storage and transportation. At the same time, the slide rod returns to the initial position under the action of the first spring.
[0019] 3. This wearable automatic body washing device uses a motor to drive a lead screw to rotate. The lead screw moves a slider within the first groove, which in turn moves a first support plate. The first support plate then moves a sponge brush head, facilitating automatic washing of the patient's perineum and improving cleaning efficiency. It is simple to operate, convenient to use, and increases cleaning efficiency. During use, the support tube is aligned with the bed, and a sliding bar is moved within the support tube according to the patient's needs to adjust the height of the first support plate. A second spring allows the first support plate to automatically adjust its height based on the patient's size, facilitating use by patients of various body types and expanding its application range. Simultaneously, the support tube and sliding bar provide support for the first support plate. Once the sliding bar is positioned within the support tube, a third spring causes the T-shaped post to automatically engage in the corresponding slot, thus securing the sliding bar's position.
[0020] 4. This wearable automatic body washing device, during the washing of the patient's perineum, activates a suction pump to simultaneously allow clean water to flow from the second outlet pipe into the diverter plate, and finally spray it from the second spray nozzle onto the area around the patient's anus, facilitating cleaning of the anal area. While rinsing the anal area, clean water is sprayed from the second outlet pipe onto the impeller blades, causing the impeller to rotate. The impeller drives the first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate. The second bevel gear then drives the corresponding support column to rotate. Under the transmission of the chain, each support column rotates, facilitating the rotation of the massage sponge head. This not only facilitates wiping the area around the patient's anus, improving cleaning effectiveness and reducing the chance of anal infection, but also massages the area around the anus, promoting blood circulation and improving healing efficiency.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] Referring to Figures 1-4, a wearable automatic body washing device includes a front part 1, a rear part 101, a crotch part 102, and two leg holes 103 defined by these parts. It also includes: a first support plate 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the front part 1; a first support disk 201 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first support plate 2; the first support disk 201 is hollow; a first spray nozzle 207 is opened on the side wall of the first support disk 201; a sponge brush head 202 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first support disk 201; a cleaning liquid box 203 disposed on the side wall of the first support plate 2; a suction pump 204 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning liquid box 203; a first outlet pipe 205 fixedly connected between the suction pump 204 and the first support disk 201; the first outlet pipe 205, the inner cavity of the first support disk 201, and the first spray nozzle 207 communicating with each other; and a drain outlet 208 opened on the side wall of the rear part 101; a drain pipe 206 fixedly connected to the drain outlet 208.
[0032] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, the front part 1 and the rear part 101 are connected together on both sides by Velcro 104, which can adjust the distance between the front part 1 and the rear part 101 according to the patient's own situation. The leg hole 103 is fixedly connected with a three-dimensional guard 105, which can reduce the sewage from flowing out of the leg hole 103. The three-dimensional guard 105 has a blocking effect on water flow, making it easier for sewage to be discharged from the drain outlet 208.
[0033] In use, the crotch piece 102 is worn over the patient's groin. Then, the distance between the front part 1 and the back part 101 is adjusted according to the patient's own situation, and the front part 1 and the back part 101 are connected together with Velcro 104. The suction pump 204 is started so that the clean water in the cleaning solution box 203 passes through the first outlet pipe 205 and the inner cavity of the first support plate 201 in sequence, and finally sprays it onto the patient's perineum from the first spray nozzle 207, which facilitates the rinsing of the patient's perineum. At the same time, the sponge brush head 202 is moved to clean the perineum, improve the cleaning effect, and allow the patient to clean the perineum by themselves, reducing the chance of infection and improving the patient's self-confidence and self-esteem.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] Referring to Figures 1-2 and 4, the implementation is basically the same as in Example 1, but further includes a specific implementation that adds a fine-tuning adjustment for the distance between the sponge brush head 202 and the patient's perineum.
[0036] Referring to Figures 1-2 and 4, an elastic airbag 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the front part 1 near the rear part 101. An inflation device 301 is fixedly connected to the surface of the elastic airbag 3. The first support plate 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the elastic airbag 3. The first liquid outlet pipe 205 is a flexible tube. A sliding rod 305 is slidably connected to the side wall of the first support plate 2. The sliding rod 305 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 201.
[0037] Referring to Figures 1 and 4, the inflation device 301 includes a vacuum pump 302 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first support plate 2. An inflation tube 303 and an air extraction tube 304 are connected between the vacuum pump 302 and the elastic airbag 3.
[0038] During use, gas is injected into the inflation tube 303 by controlling the vacuum pump 302, which makes it easier to increase the volume of the elastic airbag 3. The elastic airbag 3 drives the first support plate 201 to move. During this process, the slide rod 305 slides on the side wall of the first support plate 2. On the one hand, it is convenient to adjust the distance between the sponge brush head 202 and the patient according to the patient's own situation. On the other hand, since the first support plate 2 is made of rigid material, the patient is in direct contact with the elastic airbag 3, which helps to improve the comfort during use.
[0039] Referring to Figures 1 and 4, a limiting block 306 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide rod 305. When the limiting block 306 contacts the first support plate 2, the slide rod 305 moves to its limit position, thereby limiting the range of movement of the slide rod 305 and preventing the slide rod 305 from completely disengaging from the first support plate 2 when adjusting the position of the first support plate 201. A first spring 307 is fixedly connected between the limiting block 306 and the first support plate 2.
[0040] After use, the airflow inside the elastic airbag 3 is discharged from the suction pipe 304 by controlling the vacuum pump 302, so that the elastic airbag 3 is in a deflated state, which is convenient for storage and transportation. At the same time, the slide bar 305 returns to the initial position under the action of the first spring 307.
[0041] Example 3:
[0042] Referring to Figures 1-3 and 5, the implementation is basically the same as in Example 2, but further, a specific implementation scheme for improving the cleaning effect is added.
[0043] Referring to Figures 1-2, a motor 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first support plate 2, and a lead screw 401 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4. A slider 403 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 401. The side walls of the first support plate 2 and the front part 1 are both provided with first sliding grooves 402. The slider 403 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 402. A sliding rod 305 passes through the slider 403 and is slidably connected to the slider 403.
[0044] The start motor 4 drives the lead screw 401 to rotate, the lead screw 401 drives the slider 403 to move in the first slide groove 402, the slider 403 drives the first support plate 201 to move, and the first support plate 201 drives the sponge brush head 202 to move, thereby facilitating automatic cleaning of the patient's perineum, improving the cleaning effect, and making the operation simple, convenient to use, and improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0045] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, a slide bar 405 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the first support plate 2 near the rear part 101. A support tube 404 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide bar 405. A second spring 407 is fixedly connected between the first support plate 2 and the support tube 404.
[0046] When in use, the support tube 404 is placed against the hospital bed, and then the slider 405 is slid in the support tube 404 according to the patient's condition to adjust the height of the first support plate 2. The second spring 407 enables the first support plate 2 to automatically adjust its height according to the patient's condition, making it convenient for patients of various sizes to use and expanding its application range. At the same time, the support tube 404 and the slider 405 can provide support for the first support plate 2.
[0047] Referring to Figure 5, a T-shaped post 406 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support tube 404. A third spring 409 is fixedly connected between the T-shaped post 406 and the support tube 404. Multiple slots 408 are opened on the surface of the slide bar 405. The T-shaped post 406 matches the slots 408. When the position of the slide bar 405 in the support tube 404 is determined, the T-shaped post 406 is automatically engaged in the corresponding slot 408 under the action of the third spring 409, which facilitates fixing the position of the slide bar 405.
[0048] Example 4:
[0049] Referring to Figures 3 and 6, the implementation is basically the same as in Example 3, but with the addition of a specific implementation plan for cleaning the area around the patient's anus.
[0050] Referring to Figures 3 and 6, a flow divider 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the rear part 101 near the front part 1. The flow divider 5 is hollow. One side of the flow divider 5 is fixedly connected to the first liquid outlet pipe 205 through the second liquid outlet pipe 501. Multiple support columns 502 are fixedly connected to the other side of the flow divider 5. A massage sponge head 503 is fixedly connected to one end of the support column 502. Multiple second spray nozzles 504 are opened on the side wall of the flow divider 5. The second spray nozzles 504 are spaced apart from the support columns 502.
[0051] During the cleaning of the patient's perineum, the suction pump 204 can simultaneously allow clean water to flow from the second outlet pipe 501 into the diversion plate 5, and finally spray it from the second spray nozzle 504 onto the area around the patient's anus, making it easier to clean the area around the patient's anus.
[0052] Example 5:
[0053] Referring to Figure 6, it is basically the same as Example 4, but with the addition of a specific implementation plan for massaging the patient.
[0054] Referring to Figure 6, a first rotating rod 505 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the diverter plate 5, and an impeller 506 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating rod 505. The outlet end of the second liquid outlet pipe 501 is aligned with the blades of the impeller 506. A first bevel gear 507 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating rod 505, and a second bevel gear 508 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the support columns 502. The second bevel gear 508 meshes with the first bevel gear 507, and a chain 509 is connected between adjacent support columns 502 for transmission.
[0055] When rinsing the area around the patient's anus, clean water is sprayed from the second outlet pipe 501 onto the blades of the impeller 506, causing the impeller 506 to rotate. The impeller 506 drives the first rotating rod 505 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 507 to rotate. The first bevel gear 507 drives the second bevel gear 508 to rotate, which in turn drives the corresponding support column 502 to rotate. Under the transmission action of the chain 509, each support column 502 rotates, which facilitates the rotation of the massage sponge head 503. On the one hand, this facilitates wiping the area around the patient's anus, improving the cleaning effect and reducing the chance of anal infection. On the other hand, it can massage the area around the patient's anus, promote blood circulation, and improve the healing efficiency.
