[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a patient turning assistance device for nursing care includes a bed frame 1 and a mattress 11, with the mattress 11 laid on top of the bed frame 1; an adjustment component is provided in the middle of the bed frame 1; the bed frame 1 is equipped with a turning assistance component through the adjustment component, and the turning assistance component is moved; a blocking component is provided at the top of the bed frame 1.

[0020] The turning assist component includes a sliding frame 12, a mounting slot 13, a pusher frame 14, and a triangular cushion 15. The sliding frame 12 is slidably connected to the middle of the bed frame 1 via an adjustment component. The mounting slot 13 is located on the top of the sliding frame 12. The pusher frame 14 is detachably installed inside the mounting slot 13. The triangular cushion 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the pusher frame 14 away from the sliding frame 12. The triangular cushion 15 is made of a rigid material and its surface is covered with a flexible material. A locking component is provided between the pusher frame 14 and the sliding frame 12. In use, the pusher frame 14 is inserted into the mounting slot 13 at the top of the sliding frame 12, and the locking component is used to fix the pusher frame 14 to the sliding frame 12, preventing the pusher frame 14 from loosening or falling off during operation. The triangular backrest 15 uses a rigid material as the main support to ensure support strength, and the surface is covered with a flexible material to improve patient comfort when in contact with it and prevent injury to the patient. The adjustment component drives the sliding frame 12 to move, and the sliding frame 12 simultaneously drives the push frame 14 and the triangular backrest 15 to move. Without the need for caregivers to manually lift the patient, the triangular backrest 15 can be pushed under the patient's body to complete the turning assistance support, reduce the labor intensity of caregivers, and can be operated by a single person.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a guide rail 2, a slider 21, a drive motor 22, a lead screw 23, and a guide rod 24. The guide rail 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bed frame 1 away from the mattress 11. A pair of guide rails 2 are arranged symmetrically in the middle of the bed frame 1. The slider 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail 2. The lead screw 23 is rotatably connected between the pair of sliders 21. The drive motor 22 is mounted on the side wall of a set of sliders 21 away from the lead screw 23. The transmission end of the drive motor 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw 23. The guide rod 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pair of sliders 21 that are close to each other. A pair of guide rods 24 are arranged symmetrically between the pair of sliders 21. The lead screw 23 and the guide rod 24 are rotatably connected. The sliding frame 12 is engaged with a lead screw and nut pair; the guide rod 24 is slidably engaged with the sliding frame 12. During operation, the drive motor 22 is started, and the drive motor 22 drives the lead screw 23 to rotate. The lead screw 23 drives the sliding frame 12 to move along the length direction of the guide rod 24 through the lead screw and nut pair. The guide rod 24 plays a limiting and guiding role in the movement of the sliding frame 12, ensuring that the sliding frame 12 moves smoothly without deviation. The lead screw 23 drives the sliding frame 12 and the triangular cushion 15 to move, assisting the patient in turning over. The slider 21 can slide within a small range along the guide rail 2, which makes it easy to adjust the initial position of the adjustment components according to the patient's body shape and nursing needs, improving the adaptability of the device.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the blocking assembly includes a fixing plate 3, a slot 31, and a baffle 32. The fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the bed frame 1. Fixing plates 3 are provided at both ends of the bed frame 1. Slots 31 are formed on the side walls of the fixing plates 3 that are close to each other. Multiple sets of slots 31 are provided on the side walls of the fixing plates 3. The baffle 32 is engaged between a pair of fixing plates 3 through the slots 31. The baffle 32 is engaged between the fixing plates 3 through slots 31 at different positions. The position of the baffle 32 can be adjusted according to the patient's position on the bed frame 1 to limit the patient's body movement, preventing the patient from falling off the bed frame 1 during turning over and improving safety.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly includes a pin 4, a spring 41, and a pull ring 42. The pin 4 is slidably connected to the middle of the sliding frame 12. The spring 41 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the pin 4 away from the sliding frame 12. The pull ring 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the pin 4. When installing the push frame 14, pulling the pull ring 42 moves the pin 4 outward, stretching the spring 41. After the push frame 14 is fully inserted into the mounting slot 13, the pull ring 42 is released, and the spring 41 returns to its original position, causing the pin 4 to be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole of the push frame 14, thus completing the quick locking. When disassembling, pulling the pull ring 42 again disengages the pin 4 from the positioning hole, allowing the push frame 14 and the triangular cushion 15 to be removed for easy cleaning, replacement, and storage. The operation is convenient and efficient.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, a roller 5 is rotatably connected to the top inclined surface of the triangular cushion 15; multiple sets of rollers 5 are set on the top inclined surface of the triangular cushion 15 and are evenly distributed on the top inclined surface of the triangular cushion 15. When the triangular cushion 15 is pushed under the patient's body, the roller 5 contacts the patient's skin and rolls, reducing the friction between the patient's body and the triangular cushion 15, avoiding friction that could cause skin damage to the patient, and making the pushing process smoother, further reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a soft pad 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle 32. The soft pad 6 is made of flexible material. When the patient comes into contact with the baffle 32, the soft pad 6 plays a buffering and protective role, avoiding discomfort or injury caused by direct collision between the patient's body and the hard baffle 32, and improving the comfort of use.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the push frame 14 is made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is lightweight and high-strength, which not only ensures the stability of the push frame 14 in supporting the triangular cushion 15, but also reduces the overall weight of the device, making it easy to move and install. At the same time, it is corrosion-resistant and has a long service life, making it suitable for long-term use in medical care scenarios.

[0027] During operation, the nurse first adjusts the slider 21 to a suitable position along the guide rail 2 according to the patient's body shape, then pulls the pull ring 42 to lock the push frame 14 and the sliding frame 12 in place. The nurse selects the corresponding slot 31 to install the baffle 32 according to the patient's height, starts the drive motor 22, and drives the lead screw 23 to rotate, which in turn moves the sliding frame 12, the push frame 14 and the triangular cushion 15 towards the patient's body. The roller 5 on the inclined surface of the triangular cushion 15 rolls to reduce friction, easily supporting the patient and maintaining a side-lying position, thus completing the turning assistance. After use, the nurse turns off the drive motor 22, controls the sliding frame 12 to reset, and pulls the pull ring 42 to quickly disassemble the push frame 14 and the triangular cushion 15 for cleaning and disinfection.
