Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of physiotherapy, and more specifically, it relates to an endocrine care physiotherapy bed. Background Technology
[0002] As a vital regulatory network in the human body, the endocrine system can trigger a series of complex health problems when imbalanced, such as persistent chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, and metabolic disturbances. Against this backdrop, the endocrine care therapy bed has emerged, representing a deep integration of modern technology and health management. This device aims to provide users with a gentle and continuous auxiliary conditioning by precisely controlling various physical factors such as temperature and frequency, helping to restore endocrine homeostasis and improve quality of life.
[0003] When facing endocrine emergencies such as thyroid storm, traditional nursing methods reveal significant limitations. On the one hand, physical cooling for high fever generally relies on ice packs or alcohol rubs. This method is not only inefficient in cooling down and difficult to control the temperature evenly, but it is also prone to slipping off due to patient agitation, failing to guarantee a continuous and effective cooling effect, and posing a risk of local frostbite. On the other hand, to ensure patient safety and treatment, rigid physical restraints are often used, but this not only easily causes skin lacerations, bruises, and even nerve damage, but also exacerbates the patient's psychological fear and agitation, creating a vicious cycle. These traditional methods are insufficient in terms of efficiency, safety, and humane care, making it difficult to meet the emergency nursing needs of such critically ill patients. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose and efficacy of the endocrine care therapy bed of the present invention are achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0005] Its structure includes a bed frame, adjustable bed surrounds, temperature-controlled mattress, control support layer, adjustment rod, movable bracket, and limiting plate. The bed frame is fixed to the outer surface of the control support layer and is internally connected by wires. The adjustable bed surrounds are installed on both sides of the control support layer. The adjustment rod is installed on the upper surface of the control support layer. The adjustment rod passes through the limiting plate and rests on the bottom of the temperature-controlled mattress. The movable bracket and the control support layer are an integrated structure.
[0006] The adjusting rod includes a rotating seat, a fixed shell, a movable shell, a control core, a magnetic block, a connecting line, a limiting strip, a threaded rod, and a support block. The inner ring of the rotating seat is connected to the threaded rod by threads. The connecting line is connected between the control core and the control support layer. The magnetic block is fixed to the surface of the support block. The limiting strip and the fixed shell are an integrated structure. The movable shell is sleeved with the threaded rod and connected to the support block. The control end receives temperature sensing and controls the rotation of the rotating seat through the control support layer.
[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the temperature-controlled mattress includes an elastic thin layer, a support tube, a temperature-sensing sheet, and a temperature-conducting elastic layer. The elastic thin layer and the temperature-conducting elastic layer are an integrated structure. The support tube runs through the interior of the temperature-conducting elastic layer. The temperature-sensing sheet is sealed to the temperature-conducting elastic layer. The temperature-conducting elastic layer and the ventilation pad can fit the patient in a semi-enclosed state, allowing the circulating gas inside to cool the patient in a timely manner.
[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the control support layer is provided with a through hole to assist the threaded rod in its movement, the limiting plate restricts the range of movement of the adjusting rod, and four limiting connection holes are provided.
[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the movable shell is fitted onto the surface of the fixed shell and moves up and down along the limiting strip. The rotation of the rotating seat can control the threaded rod to move up and down in coordination. The number of the control core and the temperature sensing sheet are the same and correspond one-to-one. When the control core moves down, the bottom of its elastic thin layer loses its support, so that its temperature-conducting elastic layer has a larger wrapping space. The up and down movement of the threaded rod will drive the movable shell to move vertically up and down.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the supporting tube supports the temperature-conducting elastic layer and circulates gas into the interior. The temperature-sensing sheet and the temperature-conducting elastic layer are supported by the internal gas and then use their own elasticity to fit and wrap the patient area to cool it down. The temperature-sensing sheet is in direct contact with the patient to monitor the temperature in real time. There are four supporting tubes in total, and they are arranged in pairs, distributed vertically. The upper one is fixed and provides support, while the lower one can move down along the limiting connection hole as the control core moves down.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the bed frame includes a limiting connection hole, a protective plate, a ventilation pad, a support plate, a press buckle, a limiting plate, a hose, a control end, an adjustment knob, and an adjustment channel. The limiting connection hole and the protective plate are an integrated structure. The ventilation pad is fixed to the surface of the support plate. The press buckle passes through the inside of the limiting plate and can be controlled by pressing. The hose connects the ventilation pad and the control end. The adjustment knob passes through the limiting plate to control the rotation and positioning of the support plate. The two ends of the limiting plate are installed in the adjustment channel and can be adjusted horizontally. The hose synchronously supports the gas delivery through the pipe, so that the ventilation pad is also in a soft-wrapped cooling state.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the hose can introduce circulating air into the ventilation pad, the adjustment knob can be pressed to adjust the flipping of the support plate, the limiting plate limits the maximum flipping angle of the support plate to 90 degrees, and the pressing buckle can be pressed to adjust the limiting plate to drive the support plate to flip downwards, with a maximum flipping angle of 180 degrees. When the support plate is flipped to a horizontal plane, it can expand the position on both sides of the patient, while its main center of gravity is still in the middle.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] Firstly, it achieves active and precise physical cooling based on real-time body temperature monitoring. This invention continuously monitors the patient's body temperature through a temperature sensor integrated into the mattress. When abnormally high fever is detected, the system can automatically drive the adjustment rod to move down, reserving the necessary deformation space for the expansion of the thermally conductive elastic layer. This allows the thermally conductive elastic layer to actively bulge under air pressure, achieving a close, semi-wrapped fit with the patient's body contour, thereby significantly increasing the effective heat dissipation area and providing timely and efficient physical cooling for acute high fever caused by endocrine crisis, etc.
[0015] Secondly, it provides a flexible bed space solution that adapts to different patient body types. In response to the obesity problem that often accompanies endocrine patients, this invention designs an adjustable support plate. This component can be flexibly expanded or retracted according to the patient's actual body type and space requirements. Without changing the core functional area of the temperature-controlled mattress, it effectively expands the lying support area, improves the patient's comfort and sense of security, and avoids the edge pressure and risk of falling out of bed caused by body type. It reflects the design concept of humanized care.
[0016] Thirdly, a closed-loop feedback and intelligent control mechanism for the cooling process was constructed. Throughout the entire process of the adjustment rod moving down and the thermally conductive elastic layer expanding, the elastic thin layer on its surface always remains in contact with the control core. This design ensures that the control core can continuously and accurately monitor the microenvironment state that is in direct contact with the patient's skin and feed the data back to the control end in real time, thereby dynamically adjusting the flow rate and temperature of the circulating air. This not only optimizes the cooling efficiency but also effectively prevents skin damage that may be caused by excessive cooling, achieving a high degree of unity between safety and efficiency.
[0017] Fourth, it optimizes the overall nursing workflow and improves the work efficiency of medical staff. This invention integrates multiple nursing links such as body temperature monitoring, physical cooling, and space adjustment into an automated system. Medical staff no longer need to frequently perform repetitive operations such as manually measuring body temperature, placing ice packs, and manually adjusting body position. The system can automatically complete a series of complex nursing responses. This greatly reduces the workload of medical staff, allowing them to focus more on core diagnostic and treatment tasks, while ensuring the timeliness and standardization of nursing measures.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:
[0030] This invention provides an endocrine care physiotherapy bed, the structure of which includes a bed frame 1, adjustable bed rails 2, temperature-controlled mattress 3, control support layer 4, adjustment rod 5, movable bracket 6, and limiting plate 7. The bed frame 1 is fixed to the outer surface of the control support layer 4 and internally connected by wires. The adjustable bed rails 2 are installed on both sides of the control support layer 4. The adjustment rod 5 is installed on the upper surface of the control support layer 4. The adjustment rod 5 passes through the limiting plate 7 and rests on the bottom of the temperature-controlled mattress 3. The movable bracket 6 and the control support layer 4 are an integrated structure.
[0031] The adjusting rod 5 includes a rotating seat 51, a fixed shell 52, a movable shell 53, a control core 54, a magnetic block 55, a connecting line 56, a limiting strip 57, a threaded rod 58, and a support block 59. The inner ring of the rotating seat 51 is connected to the threaded rod 58 by threads. The connecting line 56 connects the control core 54 and the control support layer 4. The magnetic block 55 is fixed to the surface of the support block 59. The limiting strip 57 and the fixed shell 52 are an integrated structure. The movable shell 53 is sleeved with the threaded rod 58 and connected to the support block 59. The control end 18 receives temperature sensing and controls the rotation of the rotating seat 51 through the control support layer 4. When the temperature-controlled mattress 3 loses the support force of the adjusting rod 5, it will have room to expand and soften, making it easier to fit and cool the patient. The magnetic block 55 can assist the control core 54 in matching with the temperature sensing plate 33.
[0032] The temperature-controlled mattress 3 includes an elastic thin layer 31, a support tube 32, a temperature-sensing sheet 33, and a temperature-conducting elastic layer 34. The elastic thin layer 31 and the temperature-conducting elastic layer 34 are an integrated structure. The support tube 32 passes through the interior of the temperature-conducting elastic layer 34. The temperature-sensing sheet 33 is sealed to the temperature-conducting elastic layer 34. The temperature-conducting elastic layer 34 and the ventilation pad 13 can fit the patient in a semi-enclosed state, allowing the circulating gas inside to cool the patient in time. The support tube 32 assists in the circulation of gas in and out.
[0033] The control support layer 4 is provided with a through hole to assist the threaded rod 58 in movement, the limiting plate 7 restricts the range of movement of the adjusting rod 5, the limiting connection hole 11 is provided with four holes, and the hose 17 is provided with four holes.
[0034] The movable shell 53 is fitted onto the surface of the fixed shell 52 and moves up and down along the limiting strip 57. The rotation of the rotating seat 51 controls the threaded rod 58 to move up and down in coordination. The number of control cores 54 and temperature sensing plates 33 are the same and correspond one-to-one. When the control core 54 moves down, the bottom of its elastic thin layer 31 loses its support, allowing its temperature-conducting elastic layer 34 to have a larger wrapping space. The up and down movement of the threaded rod 58 will drive the movable shell 53 to move vertically up and down. The movement of the threaded rod 58 will extend out through the hole in the control support layer 4.
[0035] The supporting tube 32 supports the temperature-conducting elastic layer 34 and circulates gas into it. The temperature-sensing sheet 33 and the temperature-conducting elastic layer 34 are supported by the internal gas and then use their own elasticity to fit and wrap the patient area to cool it down. The temperature-sensing sheet 33 is in direct contact with the patient to monitor the temperature in real time. There are four supporting tubes 32 in total, arranged in pairs, distributed vertically. The upper one is fixed and provides support, while the lower one can move down along the limiting connection hole 11 as the control core 54 moves down. The two ends of the supporting tube 32 are connected to the limiting connection hole 11.
[0036] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0037] In this invention, the patient lies on the temperature-controlled mattress 3. The temperature sensor 33 integrated into the temperature-controlled mattress 3 continuously monitors the patient's body surface temperature. When the monitored temperature reaches a preset threshold, the control terminal 18 immediately initiates the control program. First, it instructs the support layer 4 to drive the rotating seat 51 to rotate. This rotational motion is converted into linear motion through the threaded pair, causing the threaded rod 58 to move downwards along with it. This causes the moving shell 53 to slide downwards along the guide of the limiting strip 57, ultimately pushing the control core 54 to descend as a whole. Its downward movement limit is limited by the limiting plate 7. At the same time, the control terminal 18 simultaneously starts the cooling circulation system, injecting the processed circulating cooling air into the internal cavity of the temperature-conducting elastic layer 34 through the support pipe 32. Under the action of internal air pressure, the temperature-conducting elastic layer 34, due to its own size... Its soft texture allows it to expand actively and fit closely to the patient's body contours, forming a semi-enclosed state, thereby achieving efficient and timely regional physical cooling. During this process, the elastic thin layer 31 covering the surface of the thermally conductive elastic layer 34 expands due to internal inflation. Although thin, it can reliably adhere to the surface of the lowered control core 54. This allows the control core 54 to monitor and regulate the micro-environment temperature of the contact area at close range, forming a closed-loop control. To further enhance the cooling effect, the control terminal 18 also delivers cooling gas in parallel to the ventilation pad 13 through the hose 17, achieving systematic gas circulation cooling. While cooling, the control terminal 18 will notify medical staff for timely treatment, and after the state stabilizes, manually stop the operation mode to reset it.
[0038] Example 2:
[0039] As attached Figure 7 To be continued Figure 8 As shown:
[0040] The bed frame 1 includes a limiting connection hole 11, a protective plate 12, a ventilation pad 13, a support plate 14, a press buckle 15, a limiting plate 16, a flexible hose 17, a control end 18, an adjustment knob 19, and an adjustment channel 110. The limiting connection hole 11 and the protective plate 12 are integrated. The ventilation pad 13 is fixed to the surface of the support plate 14. The press buckle 15 passes through the interior of the limiting plate 16 and can be pressed to control the buckle. The flexible hose 17 connects the ventilation pad 13 and the control end 18. The adjustment knob 19 passes through the limiting plate 16 to control the rotation and positioning of the support plate 14. The two ends of the limiting plate 16 are installed in the adjustment channel 110 and can be horizontally adjusted. The flexible hose 17 synchronously supports the gas delivery of the pipe 32, so that the ventilation pad 13 is also in a soft-wrapped cooling state. The flexible hose 17 assists in the circulation of gas in and out.
[0041] The hose 17 can introduce circulating air into the ventilation pad 13. The adjustment knob 19 can be pressed to adjust the flipping of the support plate 14. The limiting plate 16 limits the maximum flipping angle of the support plate 14 to 90 degrees. The pressing buckle 15 can press the adjustable limiting plate 16 to drive the support plate 14 to flip downwards, with a maximum flipping angle of 180 degrees. When the support plate 14 is flipped to a horizontal plane, it can expand the position on both sides of the patient, while its main center of gravity is still in the middle. The hose 17 is a flexible tube, and its gas delivery is not affected when the limiting plate 16 is adjusted horizontally.
[0042] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0043] In this invention, addressing the issue of obesity in endocrine patients, when they feel insufficient lying space on the temperature-controlled mattress 3, the mattress surface can be expanded as follows: The operator presses the adjustment knob 19, releasing the support plate 14 from its retracted latch and allowing it to flip outwards. The limiting plate 16 constrains this flipping action, limiting its maximum angle to a position flush with the temperature-controlled mattress 3, thus forming an auxiliary support plane. At this time, the patient's center of gravity remains entirely within the main weight-bearing area of the temperature-controlled mattress 3, and the expanded support plates on both sides... The support plate 14 is used to provide additional auxiliary support area, effectively expanding the lying space. In addition, the limiting plate 16 can be adjusted according to the adjustment channel 110 to precisely control the horizontal distance between the support plate 14 and the temperature-controlled mattress 3, adapting to the needs of patients of different body types. When the extension function is not needed and it is desired to keep the bed surface clean, the locking buckle 15 can be pressed again to release the engagement, causing the limiting plate 16 to drive the support plate 14 to rotate downward 180 degrees, so that it is completely folded under the mattress, thereby ensuring that there is no obstruction to the main functional area of the temperature-controlled mattress 3.
