Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mattresses designed for hemiplegic patients and capable of assisting side-turning, and in particular relates to a mattress assisting side-turning and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hemiplegia refers to the movement disorder of the upper and lower limbs, facial muscles and lower part of the tongue muscle on the same side, which is a common symptom of acute cerebrovascular disease. According to the degree of hemiplegia, it can be divided into mild paralysis, incomplete paralysis and complete paralysis. Mild paralysis: manifested as weakened muscle strength, muscle strength is 4 to 5, generally does not affect daily life, incomplete paralysis is more severe than mild paralysis, the range is larger, muscle strength is 2 to 4, complete paralysis: muscle strength is 0 to 1, and the paralyzed limbs cannot move at all.

[0003] Due to the inconvenience of mobility of hemiplegic patients, they spend most of their time lying in bed and cannot carry out normal activities in bed. If the human body is in the same lying position for a long time, it is inevitable that local muscle necrosis will occur. Therefore, caregivers are usually required to assist hemiplegic patients to lie on their side or raise their hands regularly to improve joint and muscle flexibility. However, it is inevitable that caregivers will be inconvenient to operate and waste manpower if caregivers are required to assist patients to adjust different lying positions in bed for a long time. However, there is no mattress in the prior art that can assist patients to lie on their side and raise their hands, so there is still room for improvement. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a mattress for assisting side-turning and a method of using the mattress, which can assist patients in lying on their side and raising their hands, so as to simplify the operation and save manpower.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A mattress for assisting side-turning comprises a mattress frame, a turning mechanism and a hand-lifting mechanism; a mattress body is arranged in the mattress frame, a receiving groove is provided in the middle of the mattress body, the receiving groove extends along the length direction of the mattress body, and a turning pad is arranged in the receiving groove; the turning mechanism is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the frame-shaped groove of the mattress frame and is directly opposite to the receiving groove, and the turning end of the turning mechanism is connected to the turning pad; the hand-lifting mechanism is arranged on the side of the mattress frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism includes two groups of electrically controlled telescopic rods, which are distributed on both sides of the flipping pad, one end of the electrically controlled telescopic rod is hinged to the inner bottom surface of the mattress frame, and the other end of the electrically controlled telescopic rod is hinged to the flipping pad.

[0008] Furthermore, the electrically controlled telescopic rod includes an articulated seat, a motor, a screw and a threaded barrel. The articulated seat is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the mattress frame, the motor is hinged to the articulated seat, one end of the screw is connected to the driving end of the motor, the barrel mouth of the threaded barrel cooperates with the screw thread, and the closed end of the threaded barrel is hinged to the flip pad; the hinge axis between the threaded barrel and the flip pad is parallel to the hinge axis between the motor and the articulated seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the flipping mechanisms are at least two groups, and the multiple groups of flipping mechanisms are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the containing groove.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two hand-lifting mechanisms, which are distributed on both sides of the mattress frame. The hand-lifting mechanisms include a lifting member and a hand-lifting pad. The lifting member is arranged on the side of the mattress frame, and the hand-lifting pad is connected to the lifting end of the lifting member.

[0011] Furthermore, the hand-lifting mechanism also includes a cross bar, which is connected to the lifting end of the lifting member, and the cross bar is provided with an L-shaped limit block, which extends toward the lifting member, and one end of the hand-lifting pad is rotatably connected to the cross bar. When the hand-lifting pad is flipped downward toward the mattress frame, the hand-lifting pad is abutted against the L-shaped limit block and remains relatively fixed due to the limiting effect of the L-shaped limit block.

[0012] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the flip pad at a position corresponding to the buttocks of a human body, the slot extends along the width direction of the flip pad, and a replacement pad is inserted into the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a remote control, which wirelessly communicates with the flipping mechanism and the hand-raising mechanism through wireless signals. The remote control has buttons for "switch", "pause", "turn over" and "hand-raising", and the functions of switching, pausing, turning over and raising hands are achieved by pressing the corresponding buttons.

[0014] A method for using a mattress for assisting rollover, comprising the following steps:

[0015] When assisting with side-turning: by pressing the "turn over" button, the turning mechanism drives the turning pad to turn left or right, and simultaneously assists the patient to turn to the left or right;

[0016] When assisting in hand raising: At this time, the patient is in a sitting state, and the hand is on the hand raising pad. By pressing the "hand raising" button, the lifting end of the lifting part moves upward to assist the patient in the hand raising operation.

[0032] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The terms such as "upper", "inner", "middle", "left", "right" and "one" cited in this specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. The change or adjustment of their relative relationship shall also be regarded as the scope of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0033] The assisted side-rolling mattress of the present invention is mainly designed for hemiplegic patients. It can realize the functions of side-rolling and partial lifting and lowering of a local area of ​​the mattress by means of electric control, so as to assist the patient lying flat on the mattress to perform side-rolling, side-lying or raising hands when sitting, etc., so as to prevent the patient from lying in bed for a long time and developing problems such as muscle necrosis or skin acne due to blood blockage. At the same time, it can reduce the caregiver's assistance in the assisted side-rolling and hand-raising operations for a long time, so as to improve the operating convenience and save manpower.

[0034] The mattress and the method for using the mattress of the present invention are further described in detail below:

[0035] Example 1

[0036] A mattress that assists in turning over, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a mattress frame 1, a turning mechanism 4 and a hand-lifting mechanism 5.

[0037] The mattress frame 1 is in the shape of a frame with an open upper end face and a closed lower end face. The mattress frame 1 has a frame-shaped groove 11. A mattress body 2 is arranged in the frame-shaped groove 11 of the mattress frame 1. A receiving groove 21 is opened in the middle of the mattress body 2. The receiving groove 21 passes through the mattress body 2 and extends along the length direction of the mattress body 2. A flip pad 3 is inserted into the receiving groove 21. The flip pad 3 is formed by a bottom plate at the bottom and a soft cushion at the top of the bottom plate; there is a gap between the flip pad 3 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 21 to facilitate the subsequent free flipping activity of the flip pad 3 and reduce the phenomenon of motion interference or jamming.

[0038] The turning mechanism 4 is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the frame groove 11 of the mattress frame 1 and is directly opposite to the receiving groove 21 . The turning end of the turning mechanism 4 is connected to the turning pad 3 so as to drive the turning pad 3 to turn by the turning end of the turning mechanism 4 .

[0039] The hand-lifting mechanism 5 is arranged on the side of the mattress frame 1, and is used to assist the patient to lift his hands when sitting.

[0040] It can be seen that the present invention transforms the mattress frame 1 to set a movable flip pad 3 in the middle of the mattress body 2, and sets a flip mechanism 4 in the accommodating groove 21 to drive the flip pad 3 to flip (such as flipping to the left or right). The flipping movement can assist the hemiplegic patient on the flip pad 3 to flip sideways or lie on his side; when the patient sits and needs to raise his hands, the hand-lifting mechanism 5 can assist the patient to raise his hands. Therefore, the patient can flip sideways or raise his hands according to his own needs with the help of the flip mechanism 4 and the hand-lifting mechanism 5, which helps to promote blood circulation in the limbs of hemiplegic patients, slow down the rate of muscle necrosis in the limbs of hemiplegic patients, and even help recovery. At the same time, it can avoid the assistance of a caregiver for a long time, so it has the advantages of simple operation and saving labor costs.

[0041] In this embodiment, there are at least two groups of flipping mechanisms 4, and the multiple groups of flipping mechanisms 4 are evenly spaced along the extension direction of the accommodating groove 21, and the multiple groups of flipping mechanisms 4 move synchronously, which can make the flipping pad 3 evenly stressed and improve the stability of the flipping process of the flipping pad 3.

[0042] Among them, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the flip mechanism 4 includes two sets of electric telescopic rods, which are distributed on both sides of the flip pad 3. One end of the electric telescopic rod is hinged to the inner bottom surface of the mattress frame 1, and the other end of the electric telescopic rod is hinged to the flip pad 3. As a result, the two sets of telescopic rods, the inner bottom surface of the frame groove 11 of the mattress frame 1 and the flip pad 3 form a quadrilateral structure. Therefore, when the two electric telescopic rods are in the initial state and have the same length, the flip pad 3 is in a state relatively parallel to the horizontal; when one of the electric telescopic rods is extended, it can drive the flip pad 3 to flip to the left or right.

[0043] The electric telescopic rod comprises an articulated seat 41, a motor 42, a screw 43 and a threaded barrel 44. The articulated seat 41 is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the mattress frame 1. The motor 42 is articulated with the articulated seat 41. One end of the screw 43 is connected to the driving end of the motor 42. The threaded barrel 44 is a barrel with one end open and the other end closed. The barrel mouth of the open end of the threaded barrel 44 has an internal thread. The barrel mouth of the threaded barrel 44 is threadedly matched with the screw 43 through the internal thread. The closed end of the threaded barrel 44 is articulated with the flip pad 3. It should be noted that the articulated axis between the threaded barrel 44 and the flip pad 3 is parallel to the articulated axis between the motor 42 and the articulated seat 41. Therefore, when the motor 42 controls the screw 43 to rotate, the screw 43 is engaged with the internal thread of the threaded barrel 44 in the forward or reverse direction, thereby realizing the function of controlling the telescopic movement of the electric telescopic rod.

[0044] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, there are two hand-lifting mechanisms 5, which are distributed on both sides of the mattress frame 1. The hand-lifting mechanisms 5 include a lifting member 51 and a hand-lifting pad 54. The lifting member 51 is arranged on the side of the mattress frame 1. The lifting member 51 of the present invention can adopt an electric cylinder, a liquid cylinder, a gas cylinder, a screw slider, etc., which have a structure that can be extended or lifted. The lifting member 51 of this embodiment adopts an electric cylinder; the hand-lifting pad 54 is used for a person to place his hand thereon, and the hand-lifting pad 54 is connected to the lifting end of the lifting member 51. The lifting member 51 can be used to realize the rising or falling movement of the hand-lifting pad 54 to complete the operation of lifting the hand.

[0045] In order to realize the function that the hand-lifting pad 54 can be stored on the side of the mattress frame 1 when not in use, the hand-lifting mechanism 5 also includes a cross bar 52, which is locked and connected to the lifting end of the lifting member 51 by screws, and the length direction of the cross bar 52 is perpendicular to the lifting direction of the lifting member 51. The end of the cross bar 52 is fixedly connected with an L-shaped limit block 53, and the end of the L-shaped limit block 53 extends toward the lifting member 51. One end of the hand-lifting pad 54 is rotatably connected to the cross bar 52. When the hand-lifting pad 54 is turned downward toward the mattress frame 1, the hand-lifting pad 54 abuts against the L-shaped limit block 53 and remains relatively fixed due to the limiting effect of the L-shaped limit block 53. Therefore, when the hand-lifting mechanism 5 is needed to assist in lifting the hand, the hand-lifting pad 54 can be rotated to abut against the L-shaped limit block 53 and limit it, and the lifting end of the lifting member 51 can be controlled to rise or fall to drive the hand on the hand-lifting pad 54 to be lifted or lowered; and when there is no need to assist in lifting the hand, the hand-lifting pad 54 can be rotated in a direction away from the mattress frame 1 until it abuts against the side of the mattress frame 1, so as to achieve the purpose of storage and space saving.

[0046] In the present embodiment, since hemiplegic patients lie in bed for a long time, it is inevitable that they will urinate on the mattress due to untimely care, so frequent replacement and cleaning of the mattress will cause great trouble. In order to solve this problem, the flip pad 3 of the mattress body 2 is arranged as follows: a slot 31 is opened on the flip pad 3 at a position corresponding to the human buttocks and its surrounding area, the slot 31 extends along the width direction of the flip pad 3 and passes through the flip pad 3, and a replacement pad 32 is inserted into the slot 31. Therefore, when the replacement pad 32 is dirty, the replacement pad 32 can be removed for cleaning or replacement, which has the advantages of simple and efficient operation.

[0047] In this embodiment, although the limbs of hemiplegic patients are inconvenient to move, the fingers of most patients can still move normally. Therefore, in order to facilitate the hemiplegic patients, they can control the turning mechanism 4 and the hand-lifting mechanism 5 according to their actual needs. Therefore, the mattress for auxiliary side-turning of the present invention also includes a remote control (not shown), and the remote control communicates wirelessly with the turning mechanism 4 and the hand-lifting mechanism 5 through wireless signals. The wireless communication method can be wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth, WIFI, 5G or 4G; the remote control has buttons for "switch", "pause", "turn over" and "hand-lifting", and the functions of turning on / off, pausing, turning over and raising hands of the motor 42 and / or the lifting member 51 are realized by pressing the corresponding buttons. Among them, the "turn over" and "hand-lifting" buttons can specifically be "turn over left", "turn over right", "raise hand left" and "raise hand right" buttons.

[0048] It should be noted that wireless communication with the flipping mechanism 4 and the hand-lifting mechanism 5 through wireless communication technology belongs to the conventional delay and motor 42 or electric cylinder control technology in the prior art, wherein the control of the motor 42 involves the control of the forward and reverse rotation, torque power and speed of the motor 42; the electric cylinder control involves the control of the telescopic length of the electric cylinder lifting end.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] A method for using a mattress for assisting side-turning, using the structure of the mattress for assisting side-turning of embodiment 1, comprises the following steps:

[0051] During assisted side turning: the hemiplegic patient lies on the turning pad 3 and presses the "left turn" or "right turn" button as needed to extend the telescopic rods on the same side, thereby driving the turning pad 3 to turn left or right, while simultaneously assisting the patient to turn to the left or right.

[0052] When assisting in hand raising: at this time, the patient is in a sitting state, and the hand is on the hand raising pad 54. By pressing the "left hand raising" or "right hand raising" button, the lifting end of the lifting member 51 moves upward to assist the patient's left or right hand in the hand raising operation.

[0053] Therefore, the mattress use method of the present invention is mainly based on the actual use of hemiplegic patients, thereby reflecting the convenience generated by the daily use process of patients. The main design is the auxiliary side-turning method and the auxiliary hand-lifting method, and the two auxiliary methods can be remotely operated by the patient according to their own needs, thereby reducing the caregiver's long-term care and assistance in turning over and raising hands, so it has the advantages of simple operation and saving manpower consumption.

[0054] The implementation methods of the present invention are not limited to this. According to the above content of the present invention, using common technical knowledge and customary means in the field, without departing from the above basic technical ideas of the present invention, the present invention can also make other various forms of modification, replacement or combination, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
