The rotation of the drive disk 365 drives the swing rod 367 to reciprocate, thereby pulling the sliding arm 366 to move back and forth in the sliding table 361 to compress the abdomen. The third electric push rod 363 drives the sliding table 361 to swing up and down, which cooperates with the movement of the sliding arm 366 to achieve reciprocating pushing and pressing of the abdomen.

[0053] Working principle:

[0054] First, the device is fixed to the bed frame via the clamping structure 1. By rotating the clamping screw 14, the clamping plate 13 is subjected to force and moves on the clamping seat 11 through the limit of the slide rod 12, thereby clamping and fixing it to the bed frame with the help of the clamping plate 13 and the clamping seat 11. Second, according to the usage height, the lifting arm 16 can be slidably adjusted on the lifting seat 15 and fastened with the first bolt 17. Then, the device is powered on, and the controller 18 controls the first electric push rod 23 in the cantilever structure 2, which drives the telescopic arm 24 to be fixed to the main boom frame 2 by the limit bolt 25. 1. The sliding telescopic adjustment length allows the pushing structure 3 on the flipping arm to be positioned above the patient's abdomen when lying flat. Alternatively, adjusting bolt 22 can be rotated to manually adjust the height of the pushing structure 3 on the lifting arm 16 before use (the height should be such that the pushing roller 368 or pulse electrode 35 contacts the abdomen). Once the pushing structure 3 is positioned above the abdomen, the second electric push rod 27 is driven to rotate the swing arm 26 on the telescopic arm 24, adjusting the position of the pushing structure 3 above the abdomen. After adjusting the height of the pressing structure 3 and the swing arm 26, the first motor 33 is driven to adjust the tilt angle of the box cover 32 and the main box 31 on the swing arm 26, so that the push roller 368 or the pulse electrode plate 35 can contact the abdomen to adjust the angle; finally, the second motor 364 and the third electric push rod 363 are driven simultaneously; when the third electric push rod 363 reciprocates, the sliding table 361 in the pressing unit 36 ​​swings up and down through the movable connection between the third electric push rod 363 and the sleeve rod 362; When the second motor 364 drives the drive disc 365 to rotate, it drives the swing rod 367 to achieve eccentric reciprocating swing, which in turn applies force to the sliding arm 366 to slide back and forth in the sliding table 361; furthermore, when the push roller 368 is used, when the push roller 368 contacts the abdomen and moves from one position to another, it also compresses the abdomen to promote breathing, realizing the effect of imitating acupressure on the abdomen, saving the physical strength of medical staff; when the pulse electrode 35 on the support plate 34 contacts the abdomen, the pulse stimulates the abdomen, causing the abdomen to reciprocate and contract spontaneously to promote breathing.

[0055] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
