Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a kneeling prone ventilation and expectoration device. Background Art

[0002] Kneeling prone ventilation and expectoration is a physical expectoration method that combines postural drainage with respiratory therapy. It is primarily used to improve ventilation and facilitate expectoration in patients with excessive respiratory secretions (such as those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, or postoperative patients). During expectoration, the patient kneels on the bed with their thighs perpendicular to the bed surface, lies prone forward, chest against the bed, head tilted to one side, and arms resting naturally on either side of the head or with elbows bent for support.

[0003] The patient's buttocks can be slightly elevated into a "kneeling" position (similar to a cat pose), and the abdomen should be relaxed to avoid compression that affects breathing. A family member or therapist can use a cupped palm to gently tap the patient's back from bottom to top and from outside to inside (avoiding the spine and kidney areas) for 2-3 minutes on each side to help loosen phlegm.

[0004] Vibratory expectoration: Rapid vibration of the chest wall during exhalation promotes the movement of secretions.

[0005] As can be seen from the above process steps, current kneeling prone ventilation and expectoration training primarily relies on medical staff. Patients undergo ventilation and expectoration training using a fixed auxiliary support and a massage device. This results in a high reliance on medical staff, resulting in significant labor costs.

[0033] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described above can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0034] The present invention provides Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a kneeling prone position ventilation and expectoration device is used to assist patients in maintaining a kneeling prone position and help patients perform ventilation and expectoration training. The main structure of the present invention includes: a bed body 1, a lifting mechanism 11, and a first massage and patting device 2. The bed body 1 is provided with a suspension bracket 12, which is fixed to one side of the bed body 1 and extends upward. The lifting mechanism 11 is provided on the bed body 1 at a position corresponding to the patient's abdomen. The lifting mechanism 11 is provided with a chest support pad 111, which has a lifting function and is used to support the patient's abdomen. When the lifting mechanism 11 is lowered to the lowest position, the chest support pad 111 is level with the mattress of the bed body 1, so that the patient can lie flat on the bed body 1; when the lifting mechanism 11 is raised, it can drive the chest support pad 111 to rise to support the patient's chest, so that the patient can maintain a kneeling prone position. The first massage and patting device 2 is disposed on the chest support pad 111 and is used to massage and pat the patient's chest. It is understood that when the patient is in the kneeling prone position, with their face facing downward and their limbs supported on the bed body 1, the patient's head is positioned lower than their chest. Therefore, massaging and patting the patient's chest can help the patient ventilate and expectorate.

[0035] It should be noted that current kneeling prone ventilation and expectoration training primarily relies on medical staff. Patients undergo ventilation and expectoration training using a fixed auxiliary support and massage device. This results in a high reliance on medical staff, resulting in significant labor costs.

[0036] The present invention supports the patient's chest through the lifting mechanism 11 and the chest support pad 111, allowing the patient to maintain a kneeling prone position. The first massage and slapping device 2 and the second massage and slapping device 3 then simultaneously massage and slap the patient's chest and back, effectively helping the patient ventilate and expectorate. During the process of assisting the patient with ventilation and expectoration, the lifting mechanism 11 can be raised and lowered simultaneously, either regularly or irregularly, to facilitate better ventilation and expectoration.

[0037] The second massage and beating device 3 is provided on the suspension bracket 12, and the second massage and beating device 3 is located above the chest support pad 111. Since the suspension bracket 12 is provided on one side of the bed body 1 and extends upward, in order to position the second massage and beating device 3 above the chest support pad 111, the second massage and beating device 3 needs to be provided at the upper end of the suspension bracket 12. Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the suspension bracket 12 is provided with a transverse extension rod 121, which is used to set the second massage and beating device 3 to be laterally offset to the patient's back position so that the second massage and beating device 3 corresponds to the chest support pad 111. The second massage and beating device 3 is used to massage and beating the patient's back position. Furthermore, a hinge device can be provided between the transverse extension rod 121 and the suspension bracket 12, and the connection angle between the transverse extension rod 121 and the suspension bracket 12 can be adjusted by the hinge device. The hinge device can be electrically adjusted or manually adjusted by a medical staff. When the lifting mechanism 11 rises, the transverse extension rod 121 is folded downward so that the second massage and beating device 3 can abut against the patient's back. When the lifting mechanism 11 descends, the transverse extension rod 121 is raised so that the second massage and beating device 3 can be away from the patient's back. This can effectively prevent the patient from bumping into the second massage and beating device 3 when sitting up.

[0038] In some embodiments, the second massage and beating device 3 is movably connected to the transverse extension rod 121. Specifically, a universal ball joint is provided between the second massage and beating device 3 and the transverse extension rod 121. The second massage and beating device 3 is movably connected to the transverse extension rod 121 via the universal ball joint, so that the connection angle between the second massage and beating device 3 and the transverse extension rod 121 can be adaptively adjusted. This allows the second massage and beating device 3 to better fit the patient's back.

[0039] It is understandable that the specific functions of the universal ball joint in this embodiment can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the existing technology, and the structure and working principle of the universal ball joint will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Further, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the suspension bracket 12 is provided with an arc-shaped elastic track 31, which extends along the patient's spine. The second massage and slapping device 3 includes a plurality of massage and slapping units 32, which are arranged on the arc-shaped elastic track 31. The bending angle of the arc-shaped elastic track 31 is adjustable. The arc-shaped elastic track 31 has the performance effect of elastic deformation. Therefore, when the second massage and slapping device 3 abuts the patient's back, the arc-shaped elastic track 31 will undergo elastic deformation under the action of the abutting force, and the arc bending angle of the arc-shaped elastic track 31 will change. Then, the massage and slapping units 32 on the arc-shaped elastic track 31 can all contact the patient's back, and the back of the patient can be massaged and slapped better to achieve the effect of ventilation and expectoration.

[0041] It is understood that the massage and tapping unit 32 has the functions of telescopic massage and tapping. The specific functions of the massage and tapping unit 32 in this embodiment can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the existing technology, and the structure and working principle of the massage and tapping unit 32 will not be described in detail here. In some embodiments, the multiple massage and tapping units 32 on the second massage and tapping device 3 can perform the tapping work regularly or irregularly.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the first massage and slapping device 2 includes at least one massage and slapping unit 32, which is arranged on the chest support pad 111 and is used to massage and slap the patient's chest. In this embodiment, the first massage and slapping device 2 also achieves the massage and slapping function through the massage and slapping unit 32. Unlike the second massage and slapping device 3, the arrangement of the massage and slapping units 32 on the first massage and slapping device 2 is different. Due to the different structures of the human back and chest, the arrangement of the massage and slapping units 32 on the first massage and slapping device 2 is different from that of the massage and slapping units 32 on the second massage and slapping device 3.

[0043] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at least two slide rails 13 are provided on the bed body 1. The slide rails 13 extend along the length direction of the bed body 1 and along both ends of the bed body 1. The two slide rails 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the bed body 1.

[0044] The first support slide 14 and the second support slide 15 are slidably connected to the slide rail 13 in sequence. The first support slide 14 and the second support slide 15 are respectively provided with an upper support mattress 141 and a lower support mattress 151. The upper support mattress 141 and the lower support mattress 151 are respectively used to support the patient's hands and legs.

[0045] It should be noted that as the lifting mechanism 11 is raised or lowered, the patient's waist is slowly supported. As the bending angle of the patient's waist changes, the distance between the patient's hands and legs also decreases. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first support slide 14 and the second support slide 15 are respectively disposed at the head and foot of the bed body 1. The first support slide 14 and the second support slide 15 are sequentially slidably connected to the slide rail 13, and the distance between the first support slide 14 and the second support slide 15 is adjustable. As the lifting mechanism 11 is raised or lowered, the patient's waist is slowly supported. As the bending angle of the patient's waist changes, the distance between the patient's hands and legs, which are supported on the upper support mattress 141 and the lower support mattress 151, respectively, also decreases. At this time, the first support slide 14 and the second support slide 15 are respectively subjected to the lateral force of the patient's hands and legs, gradually reducing the distance between them, making the force applied to the patient's hands and legs more evenly and reducing the patient's discomfort.

[0046] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first elastic member 142 is disposed between the first support slide 14 and the headboard of the bed body 1, and a second elastic member 152 is disposed between the second support slide 15 and the footboard of the bed body 1. The first support slide 14 and the second support slide 15 are respectively abutted against the ends of the slide rail 13 via the first elastic member 142 and the second elastic member 152. In this embodiment, when the lifting mechanism 11 descends, the first support slide 14, under the action of the first elastic member 142, abuts against the headboard of the bed body 1; simultaneously, the second support slide, under the action of the second elastic member 152, abuts against the footboard of the bed body 1. This allows the abdominal support member to smoothly descend to its lowest position, allowing it to be flush with both the upper support mattress 141 and the lower support mattress 151.

[0047] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first elastic member 142 and the second elastic member 152 are both spiral elastic members, and the elastic members extend along the length direction of the bed body 1.

[0048] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 11 is tilted toward the head of the bed body 1. It should be noted that when patients of different heights are in the kneeling prone position, the distance between their hands and legs and their chests will be different. The taller the person, the more lateral space their legs require. Therefore, the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 11 is tilted toward the head of the bed body 1. The higher the lifting mechanism 11 is raised, the more lateral space can be left for the patient's legs, thereby improving the patient's comfort in the kneeling prone position.

[0049] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 11 and the bed body 1 is greater than 80°. That is, the tilt angle of the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 11 is less than 10°.

[0050] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism 11 includes at least two telescopic members 112 arranged along the width of the bed body 1. The two telescopic members 112 are fixedly connected to the bed body 1 and the chest support pad 111 at both ends. The telescopic members 112 are used to support the lifting and lowering of the chest support pad 111. It is understood that the lifting mechanism 11 achieves its lifting function through the telescopic members 112. The two telescopic members 112 are arranged along the width of the bed body 1, providing balanced support for the chest support pad 111. This ensures a more balanced force on the chest support pad 111.

[0051] Furthermore, at least one safety belt is provided on the chest support pad 111, which is used to tie the patient's waist. It is understood that when the patient is in the kneeling prone position, tying the safety belt around the patient's waist can effectively prevent the patient from falling, effectively ensuring the patient's safety.

[0052] In summary, the present application provides a kneeling prone position ventilation and expectoration device. The present invention supports the patient's chest through a lifting mechanism 11 and a chest support pad 111, so that the patient maintains a kneeling prone position. Then, the first massage and slapping device 2 and the second massage and slapping device 3 simultaneously massage and slap the patient's chest and back, which can effectively help the patient ventilate and expectorate. In the process of helping the patient ventilate and expectorate, the lifting mechanism 11 can be raised and lowered regularly or irregularly at the same time to promote better ventilation and expectoration of the patient.

[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
