Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of nursing equipment, and in particular to a device for preventing pressure sores on a nursing bed. Background Technology

[0002] A nursing bed is a medical assistive device designed specifically for patients with limited mobility, those who are bedridden for extended periods, or those requiring rehabilitation care. It possesses multiple functions not found in ordinary beds, aiming to improve patient comfort and reduce the burden on caregivers. To enhance patient comfort, an elastic mattress is typically placed on the bed surface, which not only improves comfort but also helps prevent bedsores.

[0003] However, patients who are bedridden for a long time still face the problem of continuous pressure on local limbs. If the limbs are subjected to pressure for a long time, tissue hypoxia will occur, which will cause bedsores.

[0004] Therefore, nursing beds on the market can perform multiple functions, including back raising, turning over, and leg bending. They can also prevent bedsores by placing an elastic pad on the bed surface. Although this nursing function is good, the effect of preventing bedsores is obviously not good. The elastic pad is prone to shifting and has a short lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a pressure ulcer prevention device for nursing beds, which can effectively prevent pressure ulcers and improve the comfort of patients lying on the nursing bed, thus aiding in patient recovery.

[0006] This application provides a device for preventing pressure ulcers in a nursing bed, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A pressure ulcer prevention and undulation device for a nursing bed is provided on the nursing bed, which includes a bed frame and a base; the bed frame includes a bed board and a retaining structure, and the retaining structure is arranged around the edge of the bed board; the undulation device includes a transmission component and two drive components.

[0008] The transmission assembly includes multiple transmission units, which are disposed on the bed board;

[0009] The transmission unit includes a base and movable components;

[0010] The bed board has multiple mounting slots for the seat to be installed. The movable part is movably connected to the seat, and its direction of movement is perpendicular to the bed board. The movable part passes through the seat during its movement.

[0011] The drive assembly includes a frame, a drive component, and multiple contact components; the drive component is disposed on the base and is used to drive the frame to move vertically relative to the base; the contact components are disposed on the top of the frame and are used to contact the bottom of the moving component.

[0012] During the process of the drive component driving the frame to move upward to its limit position, the multiple contact components drive the multiple movable components to move upward; the two drive components drive the corresponding frames to move in opposite directions and synchronously.

[0013] The oscillation device also includes a mattress;

[0014] The mattress includes multiple elastic pads disposed on the top of the bed board, and the multiple elastic pads are distributed evenly at intervals along the length of the bed board, covering the surface of the bed board.

[0015] The mattress is connected to the bed board via multiple transmission units, and the bottom of the elastic pad is connected to the top of the movable component;

[0016] The transmission unit further includes a first elastic element;

[0017] The first elastic element is connected to the seat and the movable element at both ends, and the first elastic element has the tendency to drive the movable element downward to its limit position and hold it there;

[0018] The mattress also includes a soft and elastic cover;

[0019] The sleeve includes multiple mating parts and multiple connecting parts, and adjacent mating parts are connected by the connecting parts; each of the multiple mating parts corresponds to a multiple of the elastic pads, the mating parts are adapted to the elastic pads, and the mating parts are sleeved on the elastic pads; when the multiple mating parts are respectively sleeved on the multiple elastic pads, the connecting parts are bent toward the bed board and located between adjacent elastic pads.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, during the operation of the undulating device, multiple moving parts can move rhythmically, allowing the device to act directly on the mattress. This near-wave-like movement allows the bedridden patient's body, which has been under pressure for a long time, to stretch and move, effectively promoting blood circulation and improving muscle activity. Simultaneously, it reduces discomfort caused to the patient, effectively preventing bedsores and improving patient comfort on the nursing bed, thus aiding in recovery. Furthermore, the transmission unit accelerates the return speed of the elastic pad after it bulges upward, effectively reducing the probability of the moving parts getting stuck relative to the seat after upward movement, improving the undulating effect and stability of the device. Additionally, it reduces the probability of the elastic pad being directly exposed and damaged, as well as the probability of it being directly contaminated, thus effectively extending the mattress's lifespan. Moreover, it reduces the gaps between adjacent elastic pads, minimizing discomfort caused by these gaps to the bedridden patient and reducing the probability of skin getting stuck in the gaps, exacerbating bedsores or causing pain.

[0021] Optionally, the transmission assembly further includes a plurality of tensioning units located between adjacent elastic pads and used to tension the sleeve.

[0022] The tensioning unit includes a tensioning roller and several second elastic elements;

[0023] The tension roller is movably and rotatably connected to the bed board. Its direction of movement is parallel to the direction of the moving part, and its axis of rotation coincides with its own axis and is parallel to the width direction of the bed board.

[0024] The two ends of the second elastic member are respectively connected to the bed board and the tension roller, and it has the tendency to drive the tension roller to move to the limit position in the direction close to the bed board and maintain it; the tension roller contacts and abuts against the corresponding connecting part, and is used to drive the connecting part to be tensioned, thereby driving the adjacent mating part to be tensioned.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, the flatness of the top surface of the mattress can be improved to reduce the probability of wrinkles. At the same time, the gap between adjacent elastic pads can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the discomfort caused to bedridden patients by wrinkles and gaps on the top surface of the mattress.

[0026] Optionally, the tensioning unit may further include an air cushion and an air valve;

[0027] The air cushion has a ring-shaped structure, which is sleeved and fixed on the outside of the tensioning roller, and is used to directly contact the corresponding connecting part;

[0028] The air valve is located on one side of the air cushion and is used to control the expansion and contraction of the air cushion.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the tensioning unit can effectively ensure the tensioning effect of the sleeve of different sizes, and at the same time, it can effectively reduce the damage to the sleeve caused by the tensioning unit during the tensioning process.

[0030] Optionally, the elastic pad has a sealed air cavity inside, and the air cavity is filled with gas.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the comfort of patients lying on the mattress can be further improved. At the same time, after the elastic pad is compressed and deformed, the gap between adjacent elastic pads can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the discomfort caused by the gap to the bedridden patient.

[0032] Optionally, the transmission unit may further include a resilient partition;

[0033] The partition is disposed at the top of the seat and between the elastic pad and the movable member; when the movable member moves downward to its limit position, the partition is bent and deformed in the direction closer to the movable member by the force of the elastic pad and maintains a distance from the movable member; when the movable member moves upward to its limit position, the partition is bent and deformed in the direction closer to the elastic pad by the force of the movable member and drives the elastic pad to expand.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, direct contact between moving parts and elastic pads can be avoided, thereby effectively extending the service life of elastic pads.

[0035] Optionally, the transmission unit further includes two sliding members and several third elastic members;

[0036] The sliding member is slidably connected to the top of the seat, and its sliding direction is parallel to the length direction of the bed board; the partition is disposed between the two sliding members, and its two ends are respectively connected to the two sliding members;

[0037] The two ends of the third elastic element are respectively connected to the sliding element and the seat, and it has a tendency to drive the sliding element to slide away from the adjacent partition.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, the bending deformation of the diaphragm during the bending deformation process under external force can be made more regular, thereby effectively improving the service life of the diaphragm.

[0039] Optionally, the transmission unit further includes two limiting members, each of which corresponds to one of the two sliding members, and the limiting members are disposed on the top of the sliding members;

[0040] The bottom of the elastic pad has positioning grooves on both sides that are adapted to the limiting members, and the bottom of the elastic pad is clamped between the two limiting members to restrict its expansion.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the deformation area of ​​the elastic pad can be limited, so that the elastic pad mainly undergoes elastic deformation at the top position. This allows the top of the elastic pad to bulge outward when it bulges, further preventing the skin of bedridden patients from getting stuck in the gap between the two elastic pads, thereby further improving the anti-bedsore effect of the pulsating device.

[0042] Optionally, the bed board is divided into a head area, a torso area, and a foot area, with multiple transmission units located in the torso area.

[0043] By adopting the above technical solutions, the comfort of patients in bed can be further improved, and the disturbance of the wave device to patients can be reduced while ensuring that the wave device fully plays a role in preventing bedsores.

[0044] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0045] 1. It can effectively prevent bedsores for patients who are bedridden for a long time, and at the same time improve the comfort of patients lying on the nursing bed, which helps patients recover;

[0046] 2. It can effectively extend the lifespan of the mattress, while also effectively improving the reliability and stability of the vibration device.

[0047] 3. It can effectively reduce the gap between the elastic pads, thereby reducing the probability of the patient's skin getting stuck in the gap, which can further improve the patient's comfort while reducing the probability of skin injury during the operation of the oscillation device to prevent bedsores.

[0061] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-12 This application will be described in further detail.

[0062] This application discloses a pressure ulcer prevention device for a nursing bed. It is applied to a nursing bed to help the body of a bedridden patient who has been under pressure for a long time to move and stretch, effectively promote blood circulation, improve muscle activity, improve the patient's comfort while lying on the nursing bed, and effectively prevent pressure ulcers, which helps the patient recover.

[0063] Example 1:

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The nursing bed includes a bed body 1 and a base 2. The bed body 1 is for the patient to lie down and rest, while the base 2 is used to support the bed body 1.

[0065] The bed frame 1 includes a bed board 11 and an enclosure structure 12. The bed board 11 is generally rectangular in shape, and the enclosure structure 12 is installed perpendicular to the top of the bed board 11 and distributed along its edges to prevent bedridden patients from falling off. In this embodiment, the enclosure structure 12 is preferably composed of multiple panels; since the enclosure structure 12 with the above-mentioned effects is prior art in the art, it will not be described in detail here.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 2 has multiple casters installed at its bottom to facilitate the movement of the nursing bed by medical staff. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the base 2 has four casters installed at its bottom, and the four casters are located at the four corners of the base 2. Since the casters with the above-mentioned effects are common prior art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0067] In practical applications, the nursing bed also includes a lifting device for controlling the raising and lowering of the bed body 1 and an auxiliary device for assisting the patient in performing actions such as turning over, getting up, and sitting up. The bed board 11 can be partially flipped to cooperate with the auxiliary device in completing its function. Both the lifting device and the auxiliary device are installed between the bed body 1 and the base 2, and the base 2 supports the bed body 1 through the lifting device. In this embodiment, since the bed body 1, lifting device, and auxiliary device with the above functions are all prior art in the field, they will not be described in detail here. The lifting device and auxiliary device are omitted from the accompanying drawings, and the bed body 1 is only briefly shown.

[0068] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The undulating device includes a transmission assembly 4 and two drive assemblies 5. The drive assemblies 5 are used to apply force to the back of the patient's body lying on the bed board 11; the transmission assembly 4 is used to transmit the force of the drive assembly 5 to the back of the patient's body lying on the bed board 11, transmitting the force in an undulating manner, which effectively prevents bedsores for the patient.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission assembly 4 includes multiple transmission units 41.

[0070] The transmission unit 41 includes a base 411, a movable part 412, and a first elastic part 413.

[0071] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5The bed board 11 has multiple mounting slots 111 extending through its thickness direction for mounting the seat body 411, and the multiple mounting slots 111 are evenly distributed on the bed board 11. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the multiple mounting slots 111 are evenly distributed on the bed board 11 both along the length direction of the bed board 11 and along the width direction of the bed board 11.

[0072] The movable part 412 is movably installed on the seat 411. After the seat 411 is installed on the bed board 11, the direction of movement of the movable part 412 is parallel to the thickness direction of the bed board 11.

[0073] The movable part 412 is restricted in its movement relative to the seat 411. When the movable part 412 moves upward relative to the seat 411 to its limit position, the top of the movable part 412 will protrude from the seat 411 and be above the seat 411 and the bed board 11, and the bottom of the movable part 412 will be below the seat 411 and the bed board 11; when the movable part 412 moves downward relative to the seat 411 to its limit position, the top of the movable part 412 will be inside the seat 411, and the bottom of the movable part 412 will protrude from the seat 411 and be below the seat 411 and the bed board 11.

[0074] The first elastic element 413 is installed inside the seat 411, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the movable element 412 and the seat 411 respectively. It has the tendency to drive the movable element 412 to move downward relative to the seat 411 to the limit position and hold it there. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 413 is preferably a tension spring.

[0075] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 Both drive components 5 are mounted on the base 2 and located below the bed board 11, and are used to control the movement of multiple movable parts 412 relative to the corresponding seat 411 in a certain pattern.

[0076] The drive assembly 5 includes a drive element 51, a frame 52, and multiple contact elements 53.

[0077] The drive unit 51 is fixedly installed on the base 2. The frame 52 has an overall frame structure, and the drive unit 51 is used to drive the frame 52 to move relative to the base 2. The direction of movement of the frame 52 is parallel to the thickness direction of the bed board 11, and the frame 52 maintains a horizontal position during movement. In this embodiment, the drive unit 51 is preferably a servo electric cylinder. Since servo electric cylinders are common existing technology, they will not be described in detail here, and are only briefly shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0078] Multiple contact elements 53 are fixedly installed on the top of the frame 52 and are evenly distributed on the frame 52. Multiple mounting slots 111 on the bed board 11 are aligned with multiple contact elements 53 along the moving direction of the frame 52. When the bed board 11 is equipped with a seat 411 at the mounting slot 111, the contact element 53 will be aligned with the corresponding movable element 412 along the moving direction of the frame 52.

[0079] In this embodiment, preferably when the bed body 1 descends to the limit position relative to the base 2 and the frame 52 moves downward to the limit position relative to the base 2, the top of the multiple contact members 53 can contact and abut with the bottom of the corresponding movable member 412 that moves downward to the limit position, and at this time the drive member 51 drives the frame 52 to move upward, which can drive the multiple movable members 412 to move upward.

[0080] In this embodiment, among the multiple transmission units 41 preferably installed on the bed board 11, the transmission units 41 adjacent to each other along the length direction of the bed board 11 are driven by different drive components 5, and the two drive components 5 drive the transmission units 41 synchronously and in opposite directions. Therefore, when the two drive components 5 drive multiple transmission units 41 at the same time, the multiple moving parts 412 can exhibit a fluctuating activity pattern along the length direction of the bed board 11. When the two frames 52 are on the same horizontal plane, the multiple contact parts 53 on the two frames 52 will be distributed in rows at equal intervals along the length direction of the frames 52. One drive component 51 is used to drive the multiple contact parts 53 in multiple rows on its corresponding frame 52 (i.e., the multiple contact parts 53 in the first, third, fifth, seventh... rows at this time) to move, while the other drive component 51 is used to drive the multiple contact parts 53 in multiple rows on its corresponding frame 52 (i.e., the multiple contact parts 53 in the second, fourth, sixth, eighth... rows at this time) to move.

[0081] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, preferably, multiple undulating covers are also movably installed above the bed board 11 to work with the undulating device. The multiple undulating covers correspond one-to-one with multiple transmission units 41, and the undulating device can apply the undulating effect to the back of the bedridden patient's body through the multiple undulating covers.

[0082] The undulating cover has a strip-shaped structure. During the process of two drive components 5 driving multiple undulating covers through multiple transmission units 41, the movement trends of adjacent undulating covers along the length of the bed board 11 are synchronous and opposite, thereby realizing a cyclical up-and-down alternating undulating motion pattern. This allows the patient's body part to intermittently contact the bed surface, periodically changing the pressure point of the patient's pressure points, reducing vertical pressure, friction, and shear force, improving and alleviating the continuous pressure accumulation of local tissues, promoting blood circulation and nutritional status of the patient's bed-bound parts, and further improving the effect of preventing pressure ulcers.

[0083] The implementation principle of the anti-bedsore fluctuation device for a nursing bed according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0084] After the patient lies on the bed board 11, the undulating device is activated. The drive component 5 drives multiple movable parts 412 to move up and down in a certain pattern. During the upward movement of the movable parts 412, the corresponding movable parts 412 can be driven to move upward, causing multiple undulating covers to undulate and apply force to the back of the patient's body in a undulating manner. This has the effect of promoting the patient's body movement, thereby effectively preventing bedsores.

[0085] Example 2:

[0086] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the transmission component 4 is removed, and in order to improve the comfort of the patient lying in bed, the design of the undulating cover is removed, and preferably the undulating device also includes a mattress 3 for the patient to lie on.

[0087] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 9 After the mattress 3 is installed above the bed board 11, the drive assembly 5 is used to apply force to the mattress 3; the transmission assembly 4 is used to transmit the force of the drive assembly 5 to the mattress 3, causing the mattress 3 to undulate, which effectively prevents bedsores for the patient.

[0088] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 The transmission unit 41 also includes a partition 414, two sliding members 415, two limiting members 417, and several third elastic members 416.

[0089] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 11 The sliding member 415 has a rectangular plate-like structure and is slidably mounted on the top of the seat 411. After the seat 411 is installed on the bed board 11, the sliding direction of the sliding member 415 is parallel to both its width direction and the length direction of the bed board 11, and the two sliding members 415 are respectively located on both sides of the adjacent movable member 412 along the length direction of the bed board 11. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the top of the sliding member 415 remains flush with the top of the seat 411 during the sliding process relative to the seat 411.

[0090] The partition 414 has a rectangular plate-like structure, which is elastic and can be bent and deformed along its thickness direction, and has a tendency to self-restore after bending and deformation. The two ends of the partition 414 in the width direction are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two sliding members 415, and the partition 414 is located above the top of the movable member 412.

[0091] Several third elastic elements 416 are installed inside the top of the seat 411, with their two ends fixedly connected to the slider 415 and the seat 411 respectively, and they have a tendency to drive the slider 415 to slide away from the other slider 415. In this embodiment, the third elastic elements 416 are preferably compression springs, and preferably, two third elastic elements 416 are connected between each slider 415 and the seat 411.

[0092] After both sliding members 415 slide in opposite directions under the action of the third elastic member 416, the partition 414 will remain in a state where the width direction is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding member 415, and at this time the upper and lower end faces of the partition 414 are flush with the upper and lower end faces of the sliding member 415 respectively.

[0093] The limiting member 417 has a rectangular plate-like structure. The two limiting members 417 correspond one-to-one with the two sliding members 415. The limiting member 417 is installed at the end of the corresponding sliding member 415 away from the other sliding member 415, and the width direction of the limiting member 417 is parallel to the thickness direction of the sliding member 415.

[0094] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 9 The mattress 3 includes multiple elastic pads 31.

[0095] The elastic pad 31 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure and a sealed air cavity 311 inside, which is filled with gas, giving the elastic pad 31 a certain degree of elasticity and elastic deformation recovery ability.

[0096] Multiple elastic pads 31 are installed on the bed board 11 and located above the bed board 11. The bed board 11 is divided into a head area 112 for the head to lie on, a torso area 113 for the body to lie on, and a foot area 114 for the feet to lie on, according to the patient's lying posture. The elastic pads 31 have different sizes depending on the area. The width of the elastic pads 31 installed in the head area 112 and the foot area 114 is larger than the width of the elastic pads 31 installed in the torso area 113. In this embodiment, it is preferable that only one elastic pad 31 is installed in each of the head area 112 and the foot area 114, while multiple elastic pads 31 are installed in the torso area 113. The elastic pads 31 are installed with their length direction parallel to the width direction of the bed board 11, and the multiple elastic pads 31 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the bed board 11 and cover the surface above the bed board 11.

[0097] Furthermore, to further improve the comfort of patients lying in bed, it is preferable that the elastic pad 31 located in the body area 113 is fixedly installed on the bed board 11 through multiple seats 411, while the elastic pad 31 located in the head area 112 and the foot area 114 is fixedly installed on the bed board 11.

[0098] Multiple transmission units 41 are mounted on the bed board 11 and distributed within the body area 113, and are driven by two drive components 5 respectively. Each elastic pad 31 located within the body area 113 is simultaneously fixedly mounted to the bed board 11 via multiple seats 411.

[0099] The bottom of the elastic pad 31 installed in the head area 112 and foot area 114 is clamped and positioned between two limiting members 417, and the bottom of the elastic pad 31 has positioning grooves 312 on both sides along its width direction that are adapted to the limiting members 417; after the elastic pad 31 is connected to the bed board 11 through the seat 411, the positioning grooves 312 of the elastic pad 31 are engaged with multiple limiting members 417, and the limiting members 417 can limit the degree of elastic deformation of the bottom of the elastic pad 31.

[0100] The mattress 3 also includes a cover 32 for protecting the elastic pad 31 and effectively preventing the elastic pad 31 from shifting. The cover 32 has a certain degree of elasticity. In this embodiment, the cover 32 is preferably made of a fabric with a certain degree of elasticity.

[0101] The sleeve 32 includes multiple mating parts 321 and multiple connecting parts 322. Among the multiple mating parts 321, adjacent mating parts 321 are fixedly connected by connecting parts 322. The mating parts 321 are used to be fitted and fixedly installed on the outside of the elastic pad 31. After being fitted on the outside of the elastic pad 31, they can cover the top, both sides in the width direction and both sides in the length direction of the elastic pad 31, and the mating parts 321 and the elastic pad 31 are press-fitted. The connecting parts 322 are generally rectangular sheet structures. The two ends in the width direction are fixedly connected to two mating parts 321 respectively. After the mating parts 321 are fitted and the elastic pad 31 is fixedly installed on the bed board 11 by the seat 411, the connecting parts 322 will bend towards the bed board 11, located in the gap between two adjacent elastic pads 31 and above the bed board 11.

[0102] At this time, the cover 32 can effectively reduce the degree of damage to the elastic pad 31 during the use of the mattress 3, and at the same time reduce the probability of the elastic pad 31 being contaminated. The cover 32 is easy to disassemble, replace and clean, thus effectively extending the service life of the mattress 3.

[0103] Furthermore, during the use of the mattress 3, the skin of a bedridden patient may become stuck in the gap between adjacent elastic pads 31, which may aggravate the development of bedsores or even damage the patient's skin. After the cover 32 is installed, the connecting part 322 can not only effectively reduce the probability of the above situation, but also effectively prevent impurities from entering the gap between the elastic pads 31 and affecting the transmission process of the transmission unit 41. It can also keep the bed board 11 under the mattress 3 clean and tidy, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning and care of the bed.

[0104] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 Furthermore, to further improve the comfort of bedridden patients on the mattress 3, the preferred transmission assembly 4 also includes a plurality of tensioning units 42 for tensioning the sleeve 32.

[0105] The tensioning unit 42 is installed on the bed board 11 and located above the bed board 11. It is located in the gap between adjacent elastic pads 31, and the multiple tensioning units 42 correspond one-to-one with the multiple gaps formed by the multiple elastic pads 31.

[0106] The tensioning unit 42 includes a tensioning roller 421, two movable seats 422, two second elastic elements 423, an air cushion 424, and an air valve 425.

[0107] Two movable seats 422 are respectively installed on both sides of the bed board 11 in the width direction. The movable seats 422 are movably connected to the bed board 11, and their movement direction is parallel to the thickness direction of the bed board 11.

[0108] The tension roller 421 has a cylindrical structure, and its two ends along its axis are rotatably connected to two movable seats 422 respectively. Its rotation axis coincides with its own axis and is parallel to the width direction of the bed board 11.

[0109] Two second elastic elements 423 are respectively installed on both sides of the bed board 11 in the width direction, and each of the two second elastic elements 423 corresponds to one of the two movable seats 422. The two ends of the second elastic element 423 are fixedly connected to the corresponding movable seat 422 and the bed board 11, and it has the tendency to drive the movable seat 422 to move closer to the bed board 11. In this embodiment, the second elastic element 423 is preferably a tension spring.

[0110] The air cushion 424 has an overall annular cylindrical structure. It is sleeved and fixedly installed on the outside of the tension roller 421, and its axis coincides with the axis of the tension roller 421. The air cushion 424 is elastic and has a cavity 4241 for gas filling. It can expand and contract as gas enters and exits the cavity 4241.

[0111] An air valve 425 is fixedly installed at the end of the tension roller 421. It is connected to the air cushion 424, making the cavity 4241 of the air cushion 424 the same as the outside world, and it can control the air entering and leaving the cavity 4241 to control the expansion or contraction of the air cushion 424. In this embodiment, the air valve 425 is preferably a servo air valve 425; since the servo air valve 425 is common prior art, it will not be described in detail here, and it is only briefly shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0112] After the mattress 3 is installed, the tension roller 421, under the action of the second elastic element 423, keeps the air cushion 424 in contact with the corresponding connecting part 322, and keeps the connecting part 322 in a taut state. At this time, the tension of the connecting part 322 can be more finely adjusted by controlling the expansion or contraction of the air cushion 424 through the air valve 425. When the connecting part 322 is in a taut state, the parts of the multiple mating parts 321 that come into contact with the patient will also be in a taut state, thereby effectively reducing wrinkles on the surface of the cover 32 and further improving the patient's comfort on the mattress 3.

[0113] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 12 At this time, when the patient lies on the mattress 3, multiple elastic pads 31 will be deformed under pressure. The top of the elastic pad 31 will bulge outward along its width, while the bottom of the elastic pad 31 will bulge downward under the restriction of the limiting member 417, thereby driving the corresponding spacer 414 to bend downward. At this time, there is a gap between the spacer 414 and the movable member 412. While the spacer 414 bends downward, it can drive the two sliding members 415 to slide towards each other. The two limiting members 417 further restrict the tendency of the bottom of the elastic pad 31 to bulge outward along its width, so as to reduce the impact of the deformation of the elastic pad 31 on the tensioning unit 42. At the same time, it can reduce the size of the gap between the tops of the elastic pads 31, thereby further reducing the probability of the patient's skin getting stuck in the gap. Meanwhile, after the elastic pad 31 is deformed under pressure, the tensioning unit 42 can still maintain the tension of the entire sleeve 32, thereby reducing the probability that the sleeve 32 will wrinkle after the elastic pad 31 is compressed, affecting the patient's comfort while lying in bed.

[0114] During the operation of the oscillating device, when the movable part 412 moves upward to its limit position, the movable part 412 will drive the partition 414 to bend and deform upward, and through the contact between the partition 414 and the elastic pad 31, the elastic pad 31 will be compressed and deformed. Due to the limiting effect of the two limiting parts 417 on the bottom of the elastic pad 31, the compression deformation of the elastic pad 31 will be concentrated on its top. At this time, the top of the elastic pad 31 can both bulge upward and deform outward along its width direction. When the movable part 412 moves downward to its limit position, the compression deformation of the elastic pad 31 is the same as the compression deformation of the elastic pad 31 when the patient lies on the mattress 3.

[0115] The implementation principle of the anti-bedsore fluctuation device for a nursing bed according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0116] After the patient lies on the mattress 3, the elastic pad 31 will be deformed by pressure, which can effectively improve the patient's comfort on the mattress 3; at the same time, multiple tensioning units 42 can keep the sleeve 32 taut, effectively reducing the probability of the patient's skin getting stuck in the gap between the elastic pads 31.

[0117] During the long-term bed rest of the patient on the mattress 3, the undulating device is activated periodically. The drive component 5 drives multiple movable parts 412 to move up and down in a certain pattern. When the movable parts 412 move upward, they can drive the elastic pad 31 to bulge upward and deform. When the movable parts 412 move downward, the elastic pad 31 can still be compressed and deformed downward. This allows multiple elastic pads 31 to deform in a undulating pattern, which has the effect of promoting the patient's movement and thus effectively preventing bedsores.

[0118] At the same time, during this process, multiple tensioning units 42 can still keep the sleeve 32 taut, and during the process of elastic pad 31 being compressed and deformed, the gap between elastic pads 31 can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively reducing the probability of wrinkles appearing on the surface of the mattress 3 causing patient discomfort. At the same time, it can further effectively reduce the probability of the patient's skin getting caught in the wrinkles or gaps, causing bedsores or even skin damage.

[0119] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
