Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nursing, and more particularly to a psychiatric nursing device with restraint function. Background Technology
[0002] In psychiatric nursing, restraint and protection measures are often required for patients with intermittent mild agitation in order to protect them during episodes.
[0003] Wearing helmets with poor breathability for extended periods can compress the scalp, making it difficult for the scalp to come into contact with air, leading to a hot and dry head, which can easily cause discomfort and exacerbate agitation in patients.
[0004] In addition, current methods of restraining and protecting patients' heads mostly involve wearing protective helmets to avoid head impacts that could cause self-injury. However, simply protecting the head is not enough to adequately protect patients. For some patients with mild agitation, there is also a possibility of neck sprains during an attack. For other patients who exhibit fear, shrugging their shoulders and hunching their necks for extended periods can affect their posture.
[0005] In summary, this application proposes a psychiatric nursing device with restraint function to improve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To overcome the drawbacks of helmets with poor breathability, which can compress the scalp during prolonged wear, making it difficult for the scalp to come into contact with air and causing the head to become hot and dry, which can easily cause discomfort and agitation in patients, as well as the possibility of neck sprains caused by the patient during an attack, this invention provides a psychiatric nursing device with restraint function.
[0007] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: a psychiatric nursing device with restraint function, comprising a helmet body; further comprising a protective cover and buckles installed on the helmet body; the helmet body has two slots; the protective cover is movably connected to two buckles corresponding to the slot positions, the protective cover is covered by the buckles and slots, and a sandwich space is formed between the two; a side shell is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the helmet body, and the side shells, when closed, form a protective body covering the head with the helmet body; each side shell is fixedly connected to a merging ring, and the merging rings, when closed, form a protective body surrounding the neck; the merging rings are provided with Velcro, one merging ring has a loop surface of Velcro, and the other merging ring has a hook surface of Velcro, the loop surface of Velcro wraps around to the hook surface of Velcro on the other merging ring from the back; a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the helmet body; the two rotating rods are jointly damped and rotatably connected to a massage strip, the massage strip being in the sandwich space; the helmet body has several ventilation slots; the massage strip is equipped with several massage blocks located in the ventilation slots.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a wireless EEG device and electrodes; the helmet body is equipped with the wireless EEG device; the wireless EEG device is fixed with several electrodes, and a battery that powers the wireless EEG device is installed inside the helmet body.
[0009] Furthermore, several ventilation holes are provided on the surface of the protective shield and the side shell.
[0010] Furthermore, the massage block and massage strip are connected by a damped sliding mechanism.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes elastic airbags, curved spring clips, and ventilation tubes; several elastic airbags are fixed to the helmet body, and the elastic airbags protrude from the surface of the helmet body; each elastic airbag is connected to several ventilation tubes that penetrate to the inner side of the helmet body; a pair of slots are opened on the surface area of the helmet body on both sides of each elastic airbag; each pair of slots is connected to a curved spring clip, and the curved spring clip is located on the upper side of the elastic airbag.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes sliding rings; each merging ring is slidably connected to a sliding ring; each sliding ring is fixedly connected to a neck guard ring; each sliding ring is rotatably connected to a shoulder guard plate; each side shell is rotatably connected to a limiting rod one, the other end of which is rotatably connected to the neck guard ring; each side shell is rotatably connected to a limiting rod two, the other end of which is rotatably connected to the shoulder guard plate.
[0013] Furthermore, both limiting rod one and limiting rod two are set as telescopic rods. The telescopic part of limiting rod one has several insertion holes one, and the telescopic part of limiting rod two has several insertion holes two.
[0014] Furthermore, the neck guard and shoulder pads have sponge pads on the inside and ventilation holes.
[0015] Furthermore, the shoulder pad's cross-section is designed as an inverted U-shape.
[0016] Furthermore, the sliding ring has several ventilation holes.
[0017] The present invention has the following advantages: the massage strip is pushed to sweep along the surface of the helmet, and the massage strip will move along the through groove with the massage block. The massage block massages the patient's head. During the massage, when the massage strip passes the arc-shaped spring, it squeezes the arc-shaped spring and deforms it to squeeze the elastic air bladder on the lower side. The gas in the elastic air bladder is squeezed out through the ventilation tube, thereby ventilating the scalp area covered by the helmet, realizing local ventilation of the patient's head and relieving the stuffiness of wearing it.
[0018] Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of patients are captured by electrodes and recorded in a wireless EEG device. The wireless EEG device decodes the raw EEG signals into specific motor intentions or cognitive states and sends them to the monitoring equipment of medical staff, thereby enabling real-time monitoring of the patient's condition.
[0019] By lowering the neck guard ring to fit snugly against the patient's neck and shoulder, and fitting the shoulder pad against the shoulder, and then installing appropriately sized, non-extendable limiting rods one and two, a stable support can be formed by limiting rods one and two, locking the relative positions of the neck guard ring and the side shell, and the shoulder pad and the side shell, thereby completely locking the entire helmet and the patient's head, neck, and shoulders inside the helmet, preventing the patient's head from moving.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The preferred technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Example 1: A psychiatric nursing device with restraint function, referring to Figures 1-7 As shown, it includes a helmet body 1; It also includes a protective cover 2, buckles 21, side shells 3, merging rings 4, Velcro 5, rotating rods 6, massage strips 7, and massage blocks 8; the helmet body 1 is fitted with the protective cover 2; the helmet body 1 has a slot 1001 on each of its left and right sides; the protective cover 2 is movably connected to two buckles 21, and the positions of the buckles 21 correspond to the positions of the slots 1001. The protective cover 2 covers the helmet body 1 through the cooperation of the buckles 21 and the slots 1001, and a sandwich space is formed between the two; the helmet body 1 has a side shell 3 rotatably connected to each of its left and right sides. When the side shells 3 are closed, they form a protective body covering the head with the helmet body 1; each side shell 3 has A merging ring 4 is fixedly attached, and when the merging ring 4 is closed, it forms a protective body around the neck; Velcro 5 is provided on the merging ring 4, with the loop surface of the Velcro 5 on one merging ring 4 and the hook surface of the Velcro 5 on the other merging ring 4, and the loop surface of the Velcro 5 wraps around to the hook surface of the Velcro 5 on the other merging ring 4 from the back; a rotating rod 6 is fixedly attached to the left and right sides of the helmet body 1; the two rotating rods 6 are connected to a massage strip 7 by damping rotation, and the massage strip 7 is in the interlayer space; the helmet body 1 has several through slots 1002; several massage blocks 8 are installed on the massage strip 7, and the massage blocks 8 are located at the through slots 1002.
[0024] It also includes a wireless EEG device 9 and electrode plates 10; the helmet body 1 is equipped with the wireless EEG device 9; the wireless EEG device 9 is fixedly connected to several electrode plates 10, and a battery that powers the wireless EEG device 9 is installed inside the helmet body 1.
[0025] Both the protective shield 2 and the side shell 3 have several ventilation holes to increase the contact between the patient's head and the outside air, reducing the stuffiness and discomfort of the head.
[0026] The massage block 8 and the massage strip 7 are connected by a damping sliding mechanism, which allows for free adjustment of the distance between the massage block 8 and the patient's head, thereby adjusting the massage intensity and effect on the patient's head.
[0027] It also includes an elastic airbag 101, an arc-shaped spring 102, and a ventilator 103; the helmet body 1 is fixedly connected to several elastic airbags 101, and the elastic airbags 101 protrude from the surface of the helmet body 1; each elastic airbag 101 is connected to several ventilators 103, and the ventilators 103 penetrate to the inner side of the helmet body 1; a pair of slots 1003 are opened on the surface area of the helmet body 1 on both sides of each elastic airbag 101; each pair of slots 1003 is connected to an arc-shaped spring 102, and the arc-shaped spring 102 is located on the upper side of the elastic airbag 101.
[0028] The working steps of the above embodiment are as follows: Because some helmets with poor breathability can compress the scalp after prolonged wear, making it difficult for the scalp to come into contact with air and causing the head to become hot, which is more likely to cause patient discomfort and aggravate patient agitation, when putting this device on a patient in a calm state, medical staff first rotate and unfold the side shell 3 and the merging ring 4, as well as other connected parts around the helmet body 1 (e.g. Figure 6 (As shown), so that it is in an open state; then place the helmet 1 on the patient's head, and then rotate the side shell 3 and the merging ring 4 to close it (as shown). Figure 1 As shown), the loop of the Velcro 5 on one of the merging rings 4 is wrapped from the back to the hook side of the Velcro 5 on the other merging ring 4, and the two parts are glued together, thereby connecting and fixing the two merging rings 4. Then, the medical staff puts the protective cover 2 on the surface of the helmet 1, aligns the buckle 21 with the slot 1001, and presses the buckle 21 into the slot 1001 to fix the protective cover 2, thereby protecting the head of the patient wearing the helmet 1. This completes the wearing of the entire helmet. When the helmet 1 is worn, the patient's head can be ventilated through the through-slot 1002 and several ventilation holes on the surface of the protective cover 2 helmet 1 and the side shell 3, preventing the patient's head from getting too hot and causing discomfort and agitation. However, some areas will still be covered by the helmet 1, and prolonged wear may still cause discomfort and agitation. In some cases, such as when the patient has a high frequency of attacks, it is not suitable to remove the helmet 1, as the current technology cannot relieve the pressure on the patient's head in such situations. Therefore, during the wearing process, medical staff periodically pull out the buckle 21 from the slot 1001 when the patient is relatively calm to remove the protective cover 2 and then push the massage strip 7. As the massage strip 7 sweeps along the surface of the helmet 1, it carries the massage block 8 along the through groove 1002, massaging the patient's head with the massage block 8. During the massage, when the massage strip 7 passes the curved spring 102, it squeezes the curved spring 102, deforming it and squeezing the elastic airbag 101 on the lower side. This forces the gas inside the elastic airbag 101 out through the ventilation tube 103, thus providing ventilation to the scalp area covered by the helmet 1, achieving localized ventilation for the patient's head and relieving the stuffiness. After the massage strip 7 passes the curved spring 102, the curved spring 102 springs back to its original position, and the elastic airbag 101 springs back to its original shape under its own material properties, drawing external gas into the helmet 1 and preparing for the next ventilation. Furthermore, in conjunction with... Figure 5 As shown, the curved spring piece 102 is inserted into the helmet body 1 through the slot 1003. The two ends of the curved spring piece 102 do not reach the deepest part of the slot 1003, so the curved spring piece 102 has room to be pressed down. If it needs to be disassembled, simply squeeze the two sides of the curved spring piece 102 towards the middle to deform it, so that the two ends of the curved spring piece 102 are disengaged from the slot 1003. The whole is easy to disassemble and install, improving the convenience of the equipment.
[0029] During the wearing process, the patient simultaneously places the electrode 10 on the wireless EEG device 9 in contact with the patient's head. A small battery installed near the back of the head on the helmet 1 powers the wireless EEG device 9. The electrode 10 captures the patient's brainwave signals and records them in the wireless EEG device 9. The wireless EEG device 9 then decodes the raw brainwave signals into specific motor intentions or cognitive states and sends them to the monitoring equipment of medical staff. This allows for real-time monitoring of the patient's condition, enabling medical staff to remotely understand the patient's condition and intervene in treatment in a timely manner.
[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1, referring to... Figures 1-2 and Figures 7-8 As shown, it also includes a sliding ring 201, a neck guard ring 202, a shoulder pad 203, a first limiting rod 204, and a second limiting rod 205; each merging ring 4 is slidably connected to a sliding ring 201; each sliding ring 201 is fixedly connected to a neck guard ring 202; each sliding ring 201 is rotatably connected to a shoulder pad 203; each side shell 3 is rotatably connected to a first limiting rod 204, and the free end of the first limiting rod 204 is rotatably connected to the neck guard ring 202; each side shell 3 is rotatably connected to a second limiting rod 205, and the free end of the second limiting rod 205 is rotatably connected to the shoulder pad 203.
[0031] Both limiting rod 1 204 and limiting rod 2 205 are telescopic rods. The telescopic part of limiting rod 1 204 has several insertion holes 1 20401, and the telescopic part of limiting rod 2 205 has several insertion holes 20501. By inserting the pin into insertion holes 1 20401 and insertion holes 20501, the contraction limit of the telescopic parts of limiting rod 1 204 and limiting rod 2 205 can be determined, thereby restricting the range of the patient's activity space. While restricting the patient's head, it still allows the patient to have some room to move, reducing the patient's discomfort when restricted.
[0032] The neck support ring 202 and shoulder pad 203 have sponge pads on the inside and ventilation holes to reduce pressure on the neck and shoulders and improve comfort.
[0033] The shoulder pad 203 has an inverted U-shaped cross section, which allows it to contact the lower part of the shoulder when fastened to the patient's shoulder, thus improving the restriction effect on the patient's head.
[0034] The sliding ring 201 has several ventilation holes to increase the breathability of the patient's neck area and reduce the patient's discomfort.
[0035] Based on the above embodiment 1, current methods for restraining and protecting the patient's head mainly involve wearing a protective helmet to avoid self-injury from head impact. However, simply protecting the head is not enough to adequately protect the patient. For some mildly agitated patients, there is still a possibility of neck sprains during an attack. For other patients exhibiting fear, shrugging their shoulders and hunching their necks for extended periods can affect their posture. Therefore, during the wearing process, after the two combined rings 4 are closed, medical personnel push the two sliding rings 201 downwards, causing the neck guard ring 202 to descend to the patient's neck and fit snugly at the junction of the patient's shoulder and neck. The shoulder pad 203 fits snugly against the shoulder. Then, appropriately sized and non-extendable limiting rods 1 204 and 2 205 are installed. In this way, the limiting rods 1 204 and 2 205 form a stable support, locking the relative positions of the neck guard ring 202 and the side shell 3, and the shoulder pad 203 and the side shell 3, thereby completely locking the entire helmet and the patient's head, neck, and shoulders inside the helmet, preventing the patient's head from moving.
[0036] However, this could easily cause discomfort to the patient and lead to agitation. Therefore, both limiting rod 1 204 and limiting rod 205 were changed to telescopic rod structures. After the above steps, a socket 1 20401 and a socket 20501, which are the second closest to their respective fixing parts, were selected on the telescopic parts of limiting rod 1 204 and limiting rod 205. For example, combined with... Figure 7 As shown, select the second hole from the top and insert the pin into the hole. Thus, when the patient wants to shrug their shoulders, retract their neck, or bend their head to the sides, the telescopic and fixed parts of the limiting rod 204 and limiting rod 205 can only slide relative to each other for about 1 cm before being blocked by the pin. If the patient wants to bend their head forward or backward, the front and rear ends of the neck brace 202 and shoulder pad 203 will press against the patient's body surface when the patient bends approximately 10°-15°, preventing further bending. Ultimately, this restricts the patient's head movement in multiple directions, preventing the patient from injuring themselves or maintaining a certain posture for an extended period, thus affecting their posture.
[0037] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
