Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of neonatal care technology, specifically to a neonatal bathing device for obstetrics and gynecology. Background Technology

[0002] After childbirth, newborns often have a lot of residual liquid stains on their bodies, requiring nurses to frequently clean them to remove bacteria and dirt. Currently, most newborns are cleaned using a bathtub. However, because newborns are no longer in the womb, they feel insecure and may cry during bath time, requiring nurses to soothe them. This disrupts the nurses' cleaning work and prolongs the cleaning time.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, prior art CN115644721B discloses a neonatal bathing device for obstetrics and gynecology, including a bathtub. A mounting cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the bathtub. A threaded cylinder with opposite thread directions on its left and right sides is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder. A motor is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the mounting cylinder. The device also includes a mechanism that uses a transmission belt to drive a massage roller for rolling massage of the newborn. This solution uses a motor to push a swaddle to wrap the newborn, allowing the newborn to be placed inside the swaddle during bathing. The swaddle simulates the environment inside the womb, providing the newborn with a sense of security, reducing crying, and facilitating hand cleaning by nurses.

[0004] While the above solution can soothe newborns, it uses electrical components such as motors and drive belts, posing a risk of electric leakage. In addition, the solution is complex in structure and inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a newborn bathing device for obstetrics and gynecology, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art that the existing newborn bathing devices use electrical components with leakage hazards and have complex structures.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a basic solution as follows: a newborn bathing device for obstetrics and gynecology, comprising a bathtub and an auxiliary system disposed within the bathtub. The auxiliary system includes an elastic support member, a support plate disposed on the elastic support member, and a tactile element disposed on the support plate. The elastic support member includes an outer cylinder, an inner rod, and an elastic element. The outer cylinder and the inner rod are coaxially and vertically arranged. The lower end of the outer cylinder is connected to the bottom wall of the bathtub, and the upper end of the outer cylinder is open. The lower end of the inner rod extends into the outer cylinder and is slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder. The upper end of the inner rod extends upward out of the outer cylinder. The elastic element is disposed in the lower inner cavity of the outer cylinder, and the elastic force of the elastic element extends outward. The axis of the cylinder points towards the inner rod. A vertical channel 1 is provided inside the inner rod. The lower end of the channel 1 communicates with the lower inner cavity of the outer cylinder. The upper end of the channel 1 extends upward through the upper end face of the inner rod. The tray is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner rod for placing a newborn. The massage element includes multiple arc-shaped elastic airbags dispersed and fixed at the edge of the tray. Multiple channels 2 corresponding to the arc-shaped elastic airbags are provided inside the tray. One end of the channel 2 is sealed and communicated with the upper end of the channel 1, and the other end of the channel 2 is sealed and communicated with the inner cavity of the corresponding arc-shaped elastic airbag. When the multiple arc-shaped elastic airbags inflate, they can wrap the newborn placed on the tray.

[0007] The bathing device in the above basic scheme involves placing appropriate warm water in the bathtub according to the newborn's weight, placing the newborn on the support board, and under the newborn's weight, the support board forces the inner rod to slide down, compressing the elastic element and squeezing the gas in the outer cylinder. The compressed gas in the outer cylinder enters each arc-shaped elastic air bladder through channel one and then through each channel two. Each arc-shaped elastic air bladder expands to wrap the newborn, simulating the environment inside the womb, making the newborn feel safe during bathing, preventing them from crying or moving around, and making it convenient for nurses to clean the newborn's body.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, this solution has a simpler structure and does not require power supplies or electrical components, eliminating the risk of electric leakage and ensuring safe use. It can soothe newborns while bathing them, thus improving the safety of the bathing process.

[0009] Furthermore, the bathing device also includes a floating control mechanism, which includes a buoyancy ring sleeved on the outer wall of the outer cylinder, a rod disposed on the buoyancy ring, and a fixing block disposed on the inner rod. The buoyancy ring is slidably connected to the outer cylinder, the rod is vertically disposed, and the lower end of the rod is fixedly connected to the buoyancy ring. The upper part of the inner rod is provided with an air passage one that connects the first channel to the external space of the inner rod. The fixing block is disposed at one point of the air passage and fixedly connected to the inner rod. The fixing block has a through hole that mates with the rod. The fixing block has an air passage two, one end of which is sealed and connected to the first channel, and the other end of which is connected to the through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the insertion hole is configured as a tapered hole, and the upper end of the insertion rod is configured as a tapered end that mates with the insertion hole.

[0011] Furthermore, to prevent the buoyancy ring from rotating around the outer cylinder during its up-and-down sliding motion, which would prevent the insertion rod from being inserted into the insertion hole, a guide bar is vertically installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder, and a vertical groove is provided on the inner wall of the buoyancy ring to slide in cooperation with the guide bar.

[0012] Furthermore, to prevent the inner rod from rotating around its own axis during up-and-down movement, which would prevent the insertion rod from being inserted into the insertion hole, a guide rod is vertically provided on the inner rod, and a guide slide is vertically provided inside the side wall of the outer cylinder to slide in cooperation with the guide rod, with the upper end of the guide slide extending upward through the upper end face of the outer cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the tray is tilted, and a baffle is provided at the lower end of the tray to prevent the newborn from slipping off. When the tray stops moving downwards, the lower part of the newborn's body is submerged in the water in the bathtub.

[0014] Furthermore, the elastic element includes a spring, which is vertically arranged, with its upper end connected to the lower end of the inner rod and its lower end connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the bathtub, and a drain valve is provided at the drain hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the guide rod is an L-shaped rod including a horizontal part and a vertical part. The horizontal part is located at the upper end of the vertical part, and one end of the horizontal part is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the inner rod, so that a gap is left between the vertical part and the outer wall of the inner rod.

[0017] Furthermore, the upper surface of the tray is provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the newborn bathing device of this solution has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This solution has a simpler structure, requires no power supply or electrical components, eliminates the risk of electric leakage, and is safe to use. It can soothe newborns while bathing them, thus improving the safety of the bathing process.

[0020] 2. In this solution, when rinsing and washing newborns, the expanding arc-shaped elastic airbags can wrap around the newborns to simulate the uterine environment, improve the baby's sense of security, prevent the newborn from crying, and make it easier for nurses to clean the newborn's body.

[0021] 3. In this solution, during the process of wiping the newborn, the tray will float up and down, causing the inner rod to move up and down, which causes the air pressure in each arc-shaped elastic airbag to change alternately. The alternating changes in air pressure in the arc-shaped elastic airbags cause the degree of expansion of the arc-shaped elastic airbags to change alternately, thereby achieving a massage for the newborn and further soothing the newborn.

[0022] 4. In this solution, when the newborn needs to be rinsed after wiping, the water in the bathtub is drained through the drain valve, and the buoyancy ring moves down, causing the insertion rod to leave the insertion hole, thus opening the airway. Then, each arc-shaped elastic airbag releases air and contracts without obstructing the newborn, making it convenient to perform a thorough rinsing and cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0039] This embodiment provides a neonatal bathing device for obstetrics and gynecology, such as... Figures 1-7 As shown, the bathtub 10 includes an auxiliary system and a floating control mechanism disposed within the bathtub 10. The auxiliary system includes an elastic support member, a support plate 30 disposed on the elastic support member, and a touch member disposed on the support plate 30. A drain hole is provided at the bottom of the bathtub 10, and a drain valve 101 for closing or opening the drain hole is provided at the drain hole.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the elastic support includes an outer cylinder 201, an inner rod 202, and an elastic element. The outer cylinder 201 and the inner rod 202 are coaxially and vertically arranged. The lower end of the outer cylinder 201 is connected to the bottom wall of the bathtub 10, and the upper end of the outer cylinder 201 is open. The lower end of the inner rod 202 extends into the outer cylinder 201 and is slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 201. The upper end of the inner rod 202 extends upward out of the outer cylinder 201. The elastic element is disposed in the lower inner cavity of the outer cylinder 201, and the elastic force of the elastic element extends along the outer cylinder 201. The axis of 01 points towards the inner rod 202. A vertical channel 2021 is vertically arranged inside the inner rod 202. The lower end of the channel 2021 communicates with the lower inner cavity of the outer cylinder 201, and the upper end of the channel 2021 extends upward through the upper end face of the inner rod 202. Specifically, the elastic element in this embodiment includes a spring 203, which is vertically arranged. The upper end of the spring 203 is connected to the lower end of the inner rod 202, and the lower end of the spring 203 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer cylinder 201. To prevent the inner rod 202 from rotating around its own axis during vertical movement, a guide rod 2023 is vertically arranged on the inner rod 202, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the guide rod 2023 is an L-shaped rod including a horizontal part and a vertical part. The horizontal part is located at the upper end of the vertical part. One end of the horizontal part is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the inner rod 202, leaving a gap between the vertical part and the outer wall of the inner rod 202. The outer cylinder 201 has a guide slide 2012 vertically arranged inside its side wall, which slides in cooperation with the vertical part of the guide rod 2023. The upper end of the guide slide 2012 extends upward through the upper end face of the outer cylinder 201. It can be understood that the cooperation between the guide slide 2012 and the vertical part is only for the sliding guidance of the inner rod 202. It is a non-sealed sliding connection. When the inner rod 202 slides up and down in the guide slide 2012, the gas in the guide slide 2012 can be discharged outward through the gap between the guide rod 2023 and the inner wall of the guide slide 2012.

[0041] The tray 30 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner rod 202 for placing the newborn. The tray 30 is inclined and has a silicone anti-slip layer attached to its upper surface. A baffle 302 is provided at the lower end of the tray 30 to prevent the newborn from sliding out of the tray 30. The two sides of the tray 30 are curved upward.

[0042] like Figure 5 , Figure 7As shown, the massage device includes multiple arc-shaped elastic airbags 40 dispersedly fixed at the edges of both sides of the tray 30. The arc-shaped elastic airbags 40 are made of elastic rubber. The tray 30 has multiple channels 301 corresponding to the arc-shaped elastic airbags 40. One end of the channel 301 is sealed and connected to the upper end of the channel 2021, and the other end of the channel 301 is sealed and connected to the inner cavity of the corresponding arc-shaped elastic airbag 40. When the multiple arc-shaped elastic airbags 40 inflate, they can wrap the newborn placed on the tray 30. Of course, the wrapping described in this embodiment does not mean that the arc-shaped elastic airbags 40 must completely wrap the newborn, but rather that the arc-shaped elastic airbags 40 on both sides, after inflating, come close to and gently press against the newborn's sides.

[0043] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the floating control mechanism includes a buoyancy ring 501 sleeved on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 201, an insert rod 502 disposed on the buoyancy ring 501, and a fixing block 503 disposed on the inner rod 202. The buoyancy ring 501 is annular and is slidably connected to the outer cylinder 201. To prevent the buoyancy ring 501 from rotating around the outer cylinder 201 when sliding up and down, a guide strip 2011 is vertically disposed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 201, and a vertical groove 5011 that slides with the guide strip 2011 is disposed on the inner wall of the buoyancy ring 501. The insertion rod 502 is vertically arranged, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the buoyancy ring 501. The upper part of the inner rod 202 is provided with an air passage 2022 that connects the channel 2021 to the external space of the inner rod 202. The fixing block 503 is disposed at the air passage 2022 and fixedly connected to the inner rod 202. The fixing block 503 has a through-hole 5031 that mates with the insertion rod 502. Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the insertion hole 5031 is a conical hole, the upper end of the insertion rod 502 is a conical end that mates with the insertion hole 5031, and the fixing block 503 is provided with an air passage 2 5032. One end of the air passage 2 5032 is sealed and connected to the channel 1 2021, and the other end of the air passage 2 5032 is connected to the insertion hole 5031.

[0044] When using the bathing device in this solution, first close the drain valve 101. Add appropriate warm water to the bathtub 10 according to the newborn's weight. If it is necessary to first soak the newborn in water to wipe them down before rinsing, first fill the bathtub 10 with warm water to a suitable depth. Figures 5-7As shown, under the buoyancy of the water, the buoyancy ring 501 rises continuously with the rise of the water level, causing the insertion rod 502 to be inserted into the insertion hole 5031 and block the second airway 5032. When the newborn is placed on the tray 30, the weight of the newborn causes the tray 30 to drive the inner rod 202 down to compress the spring 203. At this time, part of the newborn's body is immersed in the water, which makes it convenient to wipe the newborn. Since the second airway 5032 is blocked, when the inner rod 202 moves down, the gas in the lower cavity of the outer cylinder 201 can only enter the arc-shaped elastic airbags 40 through the first channel 2021 and then through each second channel 301. This causes each arc-shaped elastic airbag 40 to expand and come close to the newborn, wrapping the newborn to simulate the environment inside the womb. This makes the newborn feel safe during bathing, prevents them from crying and moving around, and makes it convenient for nurses to wipe and clean the newborn's body.

[0045] During the process of wiping the newborn, the support plate 30 will float up and down, causing the inner rod 202 to move up and down, which causes the air pressure in each arc-shaped elastic airbag 40 to change alternately. The alternating changes in air pressure in the arc-shaped elastic airbag 40 cause the degree of expansion of the arc-shaped elastic airbag 40 to change alternately, thereby achieving massage for the newborn and further relaxing the newborn.

[0046] When rinsing the newborn after the initial wiping, open the drain valve 101 to drain the water from the bathtub 10 to prevent the water containing dirt from contacting the newborn. After the water is drained, the buoyancy ring 501 descends, causing the insertion rod 502 to disengage from the insertion hole 5031, thus opening the second airway 5032. Under the elastic contraction of the arc-shaped elastic airbags 40, the gas in each arc-shaped elastic airbag 40 is discharged sequentially through the second channel 301, the first channel 2021, the first airway 2022, and the second airway 5032 to the outside of the inner rod 202. Then, each arc-shaped elastic airbag 40 contracts and adheres to the surface of the support plate 30 without obstructing the newborn, facilitating thorough rinsing and cleaning.

[0047] Compared with existing technologies, this solution has a simpler structure and does not require power supplies or electrical components, eliminating the risk of electric leakage and ensuring safe use. It improves the safety of bathing while still soothing newborns.

[0048] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics in the solutions is not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application should be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
