Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nursing, and in particular to a cleaning device for nursing critically ill patients. Background Art

[0002] Critically ill patients have always been a difficult group to care for because they have basically completely lost their ability to take care of themselves and are unable to cooperate in completing some basic nursing operations. Among them, cleaning the genitals and anus of critically ill patients is a major problem in nursing, which requires nursing staff or family members to overcome both physical and psychological discomfort. Since critically ill patients basically have no autonomous cooperation, they are currently mainly treated by wearing disposable diapers or using bedpans, urinals, etc. to collect the patient's excrement. Although wearing diapers for a long time can reduce the difficulty of defecation care, it still requires nursing staff to manually wipe the genitals and anus. At the same time, wearing diapers for a long time can easily cause patients to feel stuffy and cause new conditions such as skin allergies. This undoubtedly brings great difficulties to the care of critically ill patients. Summary of the invention

[0021] Figure 2 for Figure 1 AA view of the structure shown in;

[0022] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the elastic skeleton. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a cleaning device for critically ill patients is mainly used in the care of critically ill patients, and plays the role of assisting defecation by receiving excrement, as well as cleaning the genitals and anus. Figure 1As shown in the figure, the present invention mainly includes a support rod 1 and a cleaning head 2 arranged at the front end of the support rod 1. The support rod 1 is used as an operating grip end, and the cleaning head 2 is used to be installed on the patient's crotch to achieve the collection of excrement and the washing of the crotch.

[0024] The support rod 1 is usually a two-section structure, one section is used to connect with the cleaning head 2, in the embodiment described below, it can be the screw section 11; the other section is used for the nursing staff to hold. In clinical practice, a pure straight rod often has certain inconveniences in operation, so it can be as follows Figure 1 As shown, the support rod 1 also includes a grip section 26, which is hinged to the screw section 11 and is locked or unlocked at an angle by a locking bolt 27. The direction can be adjusted after loosening, and the angle can be locked after tightening. The grip section 26 can be set as a telescopic rod so that it has the function of length adjustment; it can also be at the rear end (such as Figure 1 A hanging ring is arranged at the middle right end of the handle section 26 for convenient hanging on the wall of the toilet. Alternatively, by arranging a clamping mechanism at the rear end of the grip section 26, the present invention can also be fixed to a hospital bed or a bracket beside the bed to achieve grip-free operation.

[0025] Combination Figure 1 and 2 As shown in the figure, the cleaning head 2 of the present invention comprises a hollow silicone sleeve 3 for clamping on the patient's crotch and an elastic frame 4 formed by bending an elastic steel sheet and arranged in the silicone sleeve 3. Figure 1 The dotted line portion is the elastic skeleton 4. Figure 3 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the elastic skeleton 4. In order to achieve wrapping contact with the patient's crotch, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the silicone support sleeve 3 of the present invention is in a crescent shape. From the cross-sectional shape, the silicone support sleeve 3 includes a drum portion 5 located at the outer edge of the crescent shape and support portions 6 located at the upper and lower sides of the inner edge of the crescent shape and inclined in opposite directions. An arc-shaped cleaning gap 7 is formed between the support portions 6. The cleaning gap 7 is used for the discharge of dirt. A temporary storage space for dirt is formed inside the silicone support sleeve 3, and flushing water also passes through the cleaning gap 7 to flush the crotch (anus, genitals, etc.).

[0026] Since the silicone support sleeve 3 of the present invention is made of all silicone material and is relatively soft, in the case of a larger size (adult size), in order to ensure that the cleaning gap 7 has a certain degree of support, such as Figure 1As shown in , a plurality of gap supporting elastic threads 25 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the cleaning gap 7 of the silicone support sleeve 3 of the present invention, and the gap supporting elastic threads 25 are in the shape of Ω protruding toward the inside of the silicone head cover. The cleaning gap 7 is supported by the supporting elastic threads 25, and under the premise of not blocking the normal use of the cleaning gap 7, the supporting parts 6 on both sides of the cleaning gap 7 can be supported to prevent collapse caused by poor supporting force. Of course, by thickening the thickness of the silicone support sleeve 3, the supporting elastic threads 25 may not be provided if the supporting strength is sufficient. At the same time, in order to improve the comfort of the edge of the supporting part 6 in contact with the patient and to ensure the fit, the supporting parts 6 on both sides of the cleaning gap 7 of the present invention are completed inwardly to form an arc-shaped contact edge 24.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the elastic skeleton 4 of the present invention is arranged in the drum portion 5 of the silicone sleeve 3. In order to avoid leakage, an inner convex ridge 14 extending along the length direction of the silicone head cover is arranged at the center of the inner side wall of the upper drum portion 5 of the silicone sleeve 3, and an installation cavity 15 is arranged inside the inner convex ridge 14. On the one hand, the inner convex ridge 14 can improve the rigidity of the silicone sleeve as a whole, thereby improving its overall plasticity under the action of the elastic skeleton. On the other hand, the installation cavity 15 inside it can also meet the installation of the elastic skeleton 4 as much as possible under the premise of isolating the inner cavity of the silicone sleeve 3.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown in , the elastic skeleton 4 includes a semicircular main frame 8, the two ends of the main frame 8 are bent backward and extend along the outer edge of the main frame 8 to form a sub-frame 9, the main frame 8 and the sub-frame 9 form a double-layer structure, and the rear end of the sub-frame 9 is bent in an arc to form a squeezing portion 10. Under this structure, by squeezing the squeezing portion 10, the sub-frame 9 and the main frame 8 can be deformed, so as to be deformed into a shape that is more in line with the patient's crotch to meet individual differences. At the same time, the squeezing portion 10 adopts a C-shaped design and has good elastic deformation ability. When squeezed, it can form adaptive deformation together with the sub-frame 9 and the main frame 8 to achieve separate adaptation of the front crotch and the rear crotch. The silicone sleeve 3 formed by its shaping can fit the patient better and prevent compression caused by rigid squeezing. It has excellent safety and a very simple and compact structure.

[0029] Regarding the specific installation form of the elastic frame 4 in the installation cavity 15, it can be as follows Figure 2As shown in the figure, three pairs of slots 16 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower side walls of the installation cavity 15. The main frame 8 and the auxiliary frame 9 of the elastic skeleton 4 are respectively clamped in the slots 16 located at the innermost layer and the outermost layer. Through such a design, sufficient space can be left for the deformation of the main frame 8 and the auxiliary frame 9, ensuring their shaping ability, making the bending transition smoother and more accurate when deforming, and also reserving sufficient space for the installation of subsequent pipelines.

[0030] The present invention provides a connection hole 17 in the middle section of the silicone sleeve 3, and the connection hole 17 is located at the outer edge of the meniscus of the silicone sleeve 3, that is, Figure 1 A connection hole 17 is provided in the middle of the right outer edge of the middle silicone sleeve 3, and the connection hole 17 is connected to the installation cavity 15. A section of the support rod 1 used to connect with the cleaning head 2 (which may be the screw section 11) passes through the connection hole 17 and is connected to the middle section of the main frame 8. The pushing portion 10 on the auxiliary frame 9 passes through the connection hole 17 and is opposite to the driving member on the screw section 11 (which may be the pushing head 12 described below).

[0031] In order to realize the driving of the elastic skeleton 4, one way of inventing can be as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the front section of the support rod 1 is a screw section 11, and is connected to the middle section of the main frame 8 of the elastic skeleton 4 through the screw section 11. The screw section 11 is provided with a pushing head 12 and a pushing block 13 in sequence in the direction away from the elastic skeleton 4. The pushing head 12 is sleeved on the screw section 11 and forms a sliding fit with the screw section 11, and the front end of the pushing head 12 is in a truncated cone shape. The pushing block 13 is sleeved outside the threaded area of ​​the screw section 11 and forms a threaded fit with the screw section 11, and the pushing block 13 can push the pushing head 12 to form a pushing force on the pushing portion 10 at the rear end of the sub-frame 9. When in use, the squeezing and pushing block 13 is rotated, and the squeezing and pushing block 13 drives the squeezing and pushing head 12 to move. During the movement of the squeezing and pushing head 12, the conical surface of the truncated cone can form a stable contact with the squeezing and pushing portion 10 to squeeze the squeezing and pushing portion; due to the special structure of the elastic skeleton 4, when squeezed by the squeezing and pushing head 12, it will drive the cleaning head to bend further, so as to achieve close contact with the patient's genitals and anus, and prevent leakage of stool and water. In order to facilitate the rotation of the squeezing and pushing block 13, a plurality of rotating rods 28 extending radially along the squeezing and pushing block 13 are evenly arranged on the circumferential surface of the squeezing and pushing block 13.

[0032] Of course, the present invention also includes a flushing assembly for flushing the patient's genitals and buttocks, which is arranged in the cleaning head 2. The flushing assembly adopts water flushing, and its water source part can be provided with other auxiliary components such as heating and pressurization. The flushing assembly includes a plurality of flushing nozzles 18 and a water spray pipe 19. The main frame 8 of the elastic skeleton 4 is provided with a mounting notch 20 extending along the length direction of the main frame 8. The flushing nozzle 18 is installed on the mounting notch 20, and the water outlet passes through the inner convex ridge 14 toward the cleaning notch 7. The water spray pipe 19 is arranged between the main frame 8 and the auxiliary frame 9 of the elastic skeleton 4. The water spray pipe 19 is connected to the flushing nozzle 18. The middle section of the water spray pipe 19 is connected to one end of the water inlet pipe 21 penetrating in the screw section 11. The other end of the water inlet pipe 21 penetrates from one side of the rear end of the screw section 11 and is then connected to the water source.

[0033] In addition, a better approach of the present invention may be that a sewage pipe 22 for discharging dirt inside the silicone sleeve 3 is provided on the lower side of the drum portion 5 at one end of the silicone sleeve 3. An air pipe 23 for inflating gas into the silicone sleeve 3 is provided on the upper side of the drum portion 5 at one end of the silicone sleeve 3. Through the provision of the sewage pipe 22, the present invention can discharge dirt inside the silicone sleeve 3 in real time, and can be effectively applied when the flushing time is long and there is a lot of excrement. The provision of the air pipe 23, on the one hand, can allow gas to be introduced into the silicone sleeve 3 after the present invention is installed in place, so that the silicone sleeve 3 is inflated and more perfectly in contact with the skin of the human crotch; on the other hand, after the cleaning is completed, the hot air flow can be introduced to achieve preliminary drying of the crotch, further improving the function of the present invention.
