Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of obstetric and gynecological equipment, and in particular to a postpartum standing assistance nursing device. Background Technology

[0002] Postpartum women often experience difficulty getting up because their physical functions have not yet recovered. This includes women who are extremely weak after a cesarean section, women whose abdominal and upper limb muscle strength has not recovered well after childbirth, and women whose abdominal wound pain after a cesarean section limits their ability to get up. These types of women will find it much more difficult to get up on their own. Scientific and reasonable exercises to get up can effectively promote postpartum blood circulation and prevent thrombosis.

[0003] Currently, some assistive devices for getting up already exist in related fields. For example, Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN221731315U discloses an assistive device for getting up. Its specific structure includes a postpartum care bed, a fixed frame on one side of the postpartum care bed, the fixed frame being fixed to the postpartum care bed by several fasteners, a cover fixed to the top of the fixed frame, a traction component inside the cover, a gripping component on the fixed frame, and a guide component inside the cover. The traction component, in conjunction with the gripping component, provides traction for the mother to get up. However, existing assistive standing devices have certain shortcomings in practical applications: on the one hand, their function is limited to assisting postpartum women in lifting their upper bodies while lying in bed, and cannot meet the needs of postpartum women to fully stand up from a lying position, making their applicable scenarios relatively limited; on the other hand, the operation of the device relies on the postpartum woman actively holding the handle and pressing the switch, and the traction force of the traction component needs to be transmitted to the body through the postpartum woman's arm, which requires the postpartum woman's arm to exert a certain amount of force. However, postpartum women are generally weak and lack arm strength, so such operation not only increases the physical burden on the postpartum woman, but may also affect postpartum recovery due to improper arm force, and may even pose a safety hazard of unstable grip during traction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a postpartum standing assistance device. This invention uses an underarm support structure to assist postpartum women in transitioning from a lying to a standing position, eliminating the need for arm strength and improving stability during the standing process.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention: a postpartum standing assistance nursing device, comprising a support top frame installed on a nursing bed, wherein the support top frame is provided with a lateral translation component for adjusting the postpartum woman's position, a main board is provided on the moving end of the lateral translation component, a rotary motor is provided on the main board, a support frame is connected to the output end of the rotary motor, a spacing adjustment component is provided on the support frame, a lifting component is provided on the execution end of the spacing adjustment component, a line is provided on the lifting component, a hanger is provided at the end of the line, and a cylinder is provided inside the hanger for inserting under the postpartum woman's armpit and supporting the postpartum woman's upper body.

[0006] In the aforementioned postpartum standing assistance nursing device, the support frame includes a main rod located at the four corners of the nursing bed, a top rod at the upper end of the main rod, and a set of transverse rods between the top rods on both sides. The transverse translation component is located on the transverse rods.

[0007] In the aforementioned postpartum standing assistance nursing device, the lateral translation component includes a lateral motor with a top rod on one side, an optical shaft inside the lateral rod on one side, and a transmission rod inside the lateral rod on the other side. The output end of the lateral motor is connected to one end of the transmission rod. A moving block is provided on the optical shaft, and an internal thread block is fitted on the transmission rod. The main board is disposed on the moving block and the internal thread block.

[0008] In the aforementioned postpartum standing assistance nursing device, the spacing adjustment component includes an adjustment motor located at the bottom of the support frame, the output end of the adjustment motor is connected to a drive gear, support bars are provided on both sides of the support frame, and a rack is provided on the inner side of the support bar via a limiting structure, the rack meshing with the drive gear; a right-angle seat is provided at one end of the rack, and the lifting component is located on the right-angle seat.

[0009] In the aforementioned postpartum standing assistance nursing device, the limiting structure includes a dovetail groove disposed on the inner side of the support bar, and a dovetail block embedded in the dovetail groove is provided on one side of the rack.

[0010] In the aforementioned postpartum standing assistance nursing device, the lifting assembly includes a seat body mounted on a right-angle base, a winding motor on one side of the seat body, a spool connected to the output end of the winding motor, the spool being wound around the spool, and a hanger being mounted at the end of the spool; one end of the seat body has a locking element for locking the rotation of the spool.

[0011] In the aforementioned postpartum standing assistance nursing device, the locking component includes a servo motor located at one end of the base, and a locking lever is provided at the extended end of the servo motor; one end of the spool is provided with a gear plate that rotates coaxially with the spool, and the locking lever cooperates with the gear plate.

[0012] In the aforementioned postpartum standing assistance nursing device, a detachable protective belt is provided between the hangers, and the protective belt is located at the end of the cylinder.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. This invention is based on the original backrest tilting function of the nursing bed. The mother, initially lying down, gradually raises her upper body to a sitting position. The spacing adjustment component adjusts the distance between the two cylindrical sections to a comfortable level. The lifting component lowers the hanging frame, placing the cylindrical section under the mother's armpits. Then, the rotation motor starts, causing the support frame and cylindrical section to rotate. The mother's upper body gradually and slowly rotates, while an assistant helps her hips and lower limbs rotate towards the side of the nursing bed. Once rotated to the correct position, the mother slowly moves her hips towards the edge of the nursing bed until her legs touch the ground. During this process, the lateral translation component operates accordingly. Finally, the lifting component gradually retracts the cable, raising the cylindrical section and applying an upward traction force to help the mother stand up from the nursing bed. Through the coordinated operation of various components, this invention effectively assists the mother from a lying to an upright position, reducing the need for active effort from the mother. The armpit support method enhances the mother's safety and stability when standing up, reducing the risk of slipping.

[0014] 2. In the spacing adjustment component, by adjusting the motor drive gear, the meshing drives the racks on both sides to move along the dovetail groove of the support bar, thereby adjusting the spacing between the lifting components on both sides and the cylinder. This can adapt to the body characteristics of mothers with different shoulder widths, ensuring that the cylinder can fit closely to both sides of the mother's armpits, avoiding the problem of unstable support due to excessively wide spacing and pressure under the armpits due to excessively narrow spacing, thus achieving personalized support.

[0015] 3. The protective belt can be wrapped around the mother's chest and back to effectively limit the range of body displacement within the frame and avoid the risk of slipping due to slight shifts in the support position of the cylinder or body swaying. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] Example: A postpartum sitting assistance device, including a support frame 1 installed on a nursing bed, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the existing nursing bed has a backrest tilt adjustment, allowing the mother to lie in a tilted position. The support frame is a frame structure. The support frame 1 includes main rods 10 located at the four corners of the nursing bed. The upper end of the main rods 10 is provided with top rods 11. A set of transverse rods 12 is provided between the top rods 11 on both sides. The transverse translation component 2 is set on the transverse rods 12. The bottom end of the main rod is fixed to the nursing bed by bolts. The support frame 1 is equipped with the transverse translation component 2 for moving the mother's body position. The moving end of the transverse translation component 2 is equipped with a main board 3. The main board 3 is equipped with a rotary motor 4. The output end of the rotary motor 4 is connected to a support frame 5. The support frame 5 is equipped with a spacing adjustment component 6. The execution end of the spacing adjustment component 6 is equipped with a lifting component 7. The lifting component 7 is equipped with a line. The end of the line has a hanger 8. The hanger 8 has a cylinder 9 for inserting under the mother's armpits and supporting the mother's upper body. For the mother's better comfort, the surface of the cylinder has a sponge layer.

[0020] The lateral translation component 2 includes a lateral motor 13 with a top rod 11 on one side, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2As shown, an optical shaft 14 is installed inside one side of the transverse rod 12, and a transmission rod 15 is installed inside the other side of the transverse rod 12. The end of the transmission rod is set inside the transverse rod via a bearing. The output end of the transverse motor 13 is connected to one end of the transmission rod 15. A moving block 16 is installed on the optical shaft 14, and an internal thread block 17 is fitted on the transmission rod 15. The main board 3 is set on the moving block 16 and the internal thread block 17. When the transverse motor outputs power, the transmission rod rotates, the internal thread block fitted with the transmission rod moves, and the main board moves accordingly. The moving block on the optical shaft is connected to the main board, and the moving block moves simultaneously. The transverse translation component can drive the support frame and the cylinder laterally. The initial lying position of the parturient on the nursing bed may vary. The transverse translation component moves the cylinder to the parturient's actual lying position. After the parturient completes the turning, she needs to gradually move her buttocks to the edge of the nursing bed after sitting up. During this process, the transverse translation component moves synchronously with the buttocks, keeping the cylinder always close to the parturient's armpits.

[0021] The spacing adjustment assembly 6 includes an adjustment motor 19 disposed at the bottom of the support frame 5, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, the output end of the adjusting motor 19 is connected to the drive gear 20. Support bars 21 are provided on both sides of the support frame 5. A rack 22 is installed on the inner side of the support bar 21 via a limiting structure, and the rack 22 meshes with the drive gear 20. The adjusting motor outputs power to drive the drive gear to rotate, causing the racks on both sides to move simultaneously. A right-angle seat 23 is installed at one end of the rack 22, and the lifting assembly 7 is mounted on the right-angle seat 23. By adjusting the motor to drive the drive gear, the meshing drives the racks on both sides to move along the dovetail grooves of the support bars, thereby adjusting the distance between the lifting assemblies on both sides and the cylinder. This allows for adaptation to the body characteristics of mothers with different shoulder widths, ensuring that the cylinder fits tightly against both sides of the mother's armpits, avoiding instability due to excessively wide spacing or pressure under the armpits due to excessively narrow spacing, thus achieving personalized support. The limiting structure includes a dovetail groove 24 located on the inner side of the support bar 21, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 4 As shown, one side of the rack 22 is provided with a dovetail block 25 embedded in the dovetail groove 24. The dovetail structure limits the rack to move only along the length of the support bar.

[0022] The lifting assembly 7 includes a seat 26 mounted on a right-angle base 23, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6As shown, a winding motor 27 is installed on one side of the base 26. The output end of the winding motor 27 is connected to a spool 28, and a line 29 is wound around the spool 28. The hanger 8 is located at the end of the line 29. One end of the base 26 has a locking element 30 for locking the rotation of the spool 28. The winding motor can rotate forward and backward, which allows the spool to unwind or rewind. The spool can rise and fall to accommodate the mother getting up. The locking element 30 includes a servo motor 31 located at one end of the base 26, with a locking lever 32 installed at the extended end of the servo motor 31. One end of the spool 28 has a geared disc 33 that rotates coaxially with the spool 28, and the locking lever 32 cooperates with the geared disc 33. When the cylinder supports the mother, it needs to remain stable. To prevent the cylinder from rotating, a locking mechanism, driven by a servo motor, engages with a geared disc coaxial with the cylinder. This instantly locks the cylinder from rotating, preventing the yarn from releasing and achieving a rigid fixation of the suspension height. This completely eliminates the risk of accidental falls due to lifting component failure from a mechanical structure perspective. A detachable protective strap 34 is installed between the suspension frames 8, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 As shown, the protective strap 34 is located at the end of the cylinder 9. The hanger has a ring, and the end of the protective strap has a carabiner connected to the ring. The carabiner allows the protective strap to be removed. The protective strap can be wrapped around the mother's chest and back, effectively limiting the range of body displacement within the hanger and avoiding the risk of slipping due to slight shifts in the cylinder support position or body swaying. This protective strap works in conjunction with the cylinders on both sides to provide good protection for the mother.

[0023] Working principle of this invention: Utilizing the backrest tilt function of the nursing bed, the backrest is slowly raised, gradually tilting the upper body of the lying postpartum woman, laying the foundation for subsequent standing movements; the horizontal motor 13 of the horizontal translation component 2 is activated, driving the transmission rod 15 to rotate. The internal threaded block 17, which is threaded with the transmission rod 15, moves the main plate 3 along the horizontal rod 12. Simultaneously, the moving block 16 on the optical shaft 14 slides synchronously, moving the support frame 5, the spacing adjustment component 6, and the cylinder 9 laterally to directly above the postpartum woman's upper body, completing the alignment; according to the postpartum woman's shoulder width, the adjustment motor of the spacing adjustment component 6 is activated. 19. Drive the active gear 20 to rotate. The active gear 20 meshes and drives the racks 22 on both sides to translate along the dovetail grooves 24 on the inner side of the support bar 21. Then, through the right-angle seat 23, it drives the lifting components 7 on both sides and the cylinder 9 to move closer or further away until the distance between the cylinders 9 on both sides matches the distance under the mother's armpits, ensuring that the cylinder 9 can fit tightly against both sides of the mother's armpits. Start the winding motor 27 of the lifting component 7 to reverse, the spool 28 releases the thread 29, the hanger 8 drives the cylinder 9 to slowly lower, and the nursing staff assists and guides the mother to align her armpits with the cylinder 9, so that the cylinder 9 is completely inserted under the mother's armpits to achieve upper body support. Start the rotation. Motor 4 drives the support frame 5 to rotate slowly. The cylinder 9 gradually rotates the mother's upper body towards the side of the nursing bed. Simultaneously, the caregiver assists in adjusting the mother's hip position and lower limbs, ensuring the lower limbs turn synchronously with the upper body until the mother's upper body is completely facing outwards from the nursing bed, in a sitting position. After the turn is complete, the lateral translation component 2 restarts, moving the cylinder 9 and the supported mother synchronously along the lateral bar 12 towards the edge of the nursing bed, gradually bringing the mother's hips closer to the edge. Throughout this process, the cylinder 9 remains in close contact with the underarm support. When the mother's hips reach the edge of the bed, the caregiver assists in guiding the mother's legs to slowly droop and touch the ground. 9. The armpits remain supported, distributing the weight of the upper body. The winding motor 27 of the lifting assembly 7 is started to rotate forward, and the spool 28 slowly winds up the spool 29. The spool 9 is lifted upward through the hanger 8, applying a steady upward traction force to the mother's armpits to help her overcome gravity and stand up. At the same time, the servo motor 31 of the locking component 30 is activated, driving the locking lever 32 to engage in the tooth groove of the toothed disc 33 at the end of the spool 28, locking the rotation of the spool 28 and preventing the spool 29 from accidentally loosening and causing the mother to suddenly fall. This ensures that the lifting process is safe and controllable. As the spool 9 continues to rise, the mother gradually transitions from a sitting position to a standing position with the assistance of traction.
