Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of elderly care and rehabilitation equipment technology, and in particular to a microbubble bathing device for disabled elderly people with exposed head and neck airbags and sealed capsule chambers. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing aging of the population, daily cleaning and bathing for disabled and semi-disabled elderly people has become a high-frequency and essential need in health care. At present, the bathing equipment on the market is mainly divided into three categories: mobile simple shower, soft folding bath cabin and closed capsule cabin. These devices are designed to solve the cleaning problems of bedridden elderly people and usually involve operation processes such as transportation, soaking, washing, drying and disinfection.

[0003] However, existing equipment generally suffers from serious technical deficiencies. In the transfer process, it lacks a seamless connection structure with the nursing bed, requiring manual lifting and carrying, which can easily cause injuries and fractures to the elderly and lumbar muscle strain to caregivers. In terms of cleaning effectiveness, it lacks cleaning methods for areas that come into contact with the patient, such as the back, lumbar region, and buttocks, leading to a high incidence of bedsores and dermatitis. In addition, traditional equipment often uses one-way surfing and fully enclosed structures, which pose risks such as the accumulation of dirt and grime, excessive water flow impact, and the risk of causing claustrophobia and cross-infection in the elderly. It cannot meet the high standards of care and wellness needs of disabled elderly people for safety, comfort, and thorough cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention aims to provide a microbubble-type capsule bathing device for disabled elderly people with exposed head and neck, comprising a chamber body and a corresponding chamber cover. The chamber body is a single-sided fully open structure, and the chamber cover is hinged to the chamber body. The chamber body is provided with a support plate and an independent lifting bed plate. One end of the support plate is hinged to the inner wall of the chamber body and can swing around the hinge axis to adjust the tilt angle. The independent lifting bed plate is located above the support plate and can move vertically up and down relative to the support plate. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the chamber body. The independent lifting bed board includes a rigid hollow frame and a flexible contact layer covering the frame. The frame integrates a microbubble generator with multiple upward-facing spray holes. When the independent lifting bed board is lowered to the low position and filled with water, the buoyancy of the water and the upward thrust of the microbubbles work together to automatically suspend the elderly person's back off the bed. Combined with the posture adjustment of the support plate, it can achieve thorough cleaning of the elderly person's body folds and corners.

[0005] Preferably, a base is provided below the chamber, and a lifting hydraulic cylinder is installed on the upper surface of the base. The output end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the chamber. An adjusting hydraulic cylinder is installed on the bottom surface of the support plate, and the output end of the adjusting hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the independent lifting bed plate.

[0006] Preferably, the independent lifting bed board has an embedded hidden microbubble water spray pipe inside its frame, and a pre-embedded closed-loop microbubble pipe inside the bed board frame. The bed board has a built-in pressure sensor, realizing a two-way water channel function for the bed board. It drains water and sewage downwards and sprays water upwards to wash the back. The pressure sensor detects and confirms the suspension state. The upward microbubble water flow washes away back folds, spinal creases, and dead skin in the buttocks, so that the back can be directly rinsed by high-pressure microbubbles without turning over or manual assistance, solving the problem of blind spots on the back during health and wellness bathing.

[0007] Preferably, the inner bottom wall of the chamber is hinged with a pitch hydraulic cylinder, the other end of which is hinged to a support plate. A waterproof rubber sleeve is fitted onto the outer surface of the pitch hydraulic cylinder. The waterproof rubber sleeve has a corrugated telescopic structure. One end of the waterproof rubber sleeve is fixed to the support plate, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the chamber. By extending and retracting the pitch hydraulic cylinder, the support plate is driven to rotate around the end hinge axis. This allows the tilt angle of the support plate to be flexibly adjusted according to the physical condition and bathing needs of the disabled elderly. This allows the elderly to maintain a more comfortable bathing posture and also enables different angles of sewage flushing in conjunction with water flow, avoiding sewage residue and ensuring the cleanliness of the support plate and the independent lifting bed board after bathing.

[0008] Preferably, an airbag is provided at the head opening of the cover and the body. The airbag is a ring-shaped medical latex inflatable sealing structure. The airbag is hollow inside and has an independent inflation port. When the cover is closed and locked, an appropriate amount of gas is injected into the airbag to expand and deform it to fill the assembly gap between the cover and the body, supporting the user's neck and forming a flexible waterproof sealing ring.

[0009] Preferably, both the chamber body and the chamber cover are double-layered, lightweight, high-strength, heat-insulating, hollow structures. Inside the interlayer, two completely physically isolated piping systems are independently arranged: a constant-temperature microbubble pure bathing water system and a dedicated disinfectant atomizing disinfection water system. The two water systems are completely independent, with no mixing or cross-contamination of liquids. The nozzles are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the composite bed board, with embedded surfing nozzles corresponding to the waist and hip areas of the human body. The nozzles are tilted upwards at 30° towards the middle of the human torso to prevent disinfectant residue from mixing with the bathing water, thus avoiding skin irritation, allergies, and mucosal infections in the elderly.

[0010] Preferably, the enclosed space of the chamber's interlayer serves as a dedicated pipeline chamber, with all cleaning and disinfection water lines pre-embedded and concealed within the interlayer. The inner wall of the chamber has no exposed pipes, protruding nozzles, or messy wiring. The inner wall is smooth and flat, making it less prone to dirt accumulation, easy to wipe and disinfect, and free of unsanitary conditions, thus significantly improving safety.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. This invention, by setting up a support plate and an independent lifting bed plate, combined with microbubble suspension technology, allows the back of disabled elderly people to automatically lift off the bed during soaking, achieving thorough cleaning without turning over or manual assistance. Relying on two sets of pipeline systems independently arranged inside the interlayer, the bathing water and disinfectant water are physically isolated. The inner wall of the chamber is flat with no exposed components, effectively alleviating the problem of dirt and grime accumulating and difficult to disinfect in traditional equipment, improving nursing efficiency and the elderly's experience, while reducing the workload of nursing staff.

[0012] 2. This invention achieves real-time dynamic sensing of the elderly person's back suspension state by incorporating a pressure sensor in the independent lifting bed board. The microbubble generator can automatically adjust the upward jet thrust based on pressure feedback, ensuring that the water flow penetrates the back folds and spinal gaps while preventing excessive thrust from impacting fragile skin tissue. This achieves precise and safe control of on-demand rinsing, avoiding the discomfort caused by blindly high-pressure water flow.

[0013] 3. This invention achieves dual-purpose functionality by switching the water inlet of the microbubble bathing pipe to a hot air blower. This design eliminates the need for additional complex drying ducts, simplifying the internal structure and reducing manufacturing costs. At the same time, warm air is evenly distributed to the elderly person's entire body along the original dense micro-hole spray device, forming a gentle, enveloping drying effect, solving the problems of traditional equipment being difficult to dry and easily causing the elderly person to catch a cold.

[0014] 4. This invention adopts a head and neck exposed hatch design, combined with an inflatable and deformable annular airbag, which forms a flexible waterproof sealing ring to protect the neck while effectively avoiding claustrophobia caused by a fully enclosed structure. The independent shampoo basin at the opening of the cabin completely isolates and separates the wastewater from the wastewater from the body washing, preventing the oil and dirt from the head from contaminating the body washing water circuit and eliminating the risk of cross-infection.

[0015] 5. This invention, by equipping the base of the device with an integrated lifting hydraulic cylinder, can precisely align with the nursing bed of a bedridden elderly person. The caregiver only needs to slide the independent bed board out horizontally and connect it with the nursing bed surface to allow the elderly person to roll down or slide into the cabin, realizing zero-lifting and carrying transfer operations. This design fundamentally solves the industry pain points of manual lifting and carrying in the background technology, such as fractures and collisions of the elderly person and lumbar muscle strain of caregivers, and greatly improves the safety of the transfer process.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the technical problems solved by the invention, the technical solutions and the beneficial effects clearer, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] The embodiments provided by this invention are as follows: Figures 1-6 As shown, the head and neck exposed airbag sealed capsule microbubble bathing equipment for disabled elderly includes a chamber body 1 and a corresponding chamber cover 2. The chamber body 1 has a single-sided fully open structure. The chamber cover 2 is hinged to the chamber body 1. The chamber body 1 is equipped with a support plate 3 and an independent lifting bed plate 4. One end of the support plate 3 is hinged to the inner wall of the chamber body 1 and can swing around the hinge axis to adjust the tilt angle. The independent lifting bed plate 4 is set above the support plate 3 and can move vertically up and down relative to the support plate 3. The inner bottom wall of the chamber body 1 is fixedly connected to a sewage pipe 14.

[0020] The independent lifting bed board 4 includes a rigid hollow frame 401 and a flexible contact layer 402 covering the frame. The frame 401 integrates a microbubble generator 403. The microbubble generator 403 has multiple upward-opening spray holes. When the independent lifting bed board 4 is lowered to the low position and filled with water, the buoyancy of the water and the upward thrust of the microbubbles work together to make the back of the bedridden elderly automatically float off the bed. With the posture adjustment of the support plate 3, the folds and dead corners of the elderly's body can be cleaned without dead angles.

[0021] A base 5 is installed below the chamber 1, and a lifting hydraulic cylinder 6 is installed on the upper surface of the base 5. The output end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixed to the chamber 1. An adjusting hydraulic cylinder 7 is installed on the bottom surface of the support plate 3. The output end of the adjusting hydraulic cylinder 7 is fixed to the independent lifting bed board 4. The frame of the independent lifting bed board 4 has an embedded hidden microbubble spray pipe 8. The bed board frame has a pre-embedded closed microbubble pipe. The bed board has a built-in pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is a general-purpose thin-film pressure sensor that can detect the pressure change on the bed board in real time to confirm the suspension state of the disabled elderly's back. This ensures the cleaning effect while avoiding excessive force that may cause discomfort. It realizes a two-way water channel function for the bed board, draining and cleaning downwards and suspending and spraying water upwards to wash the back. The suspension state is confirmed by the pressure sensor. The upward microbubble water flow washes away back folds, spinal crevices, and gluteal creases, achieving high-pressure microbubble rinsing of the back without turning over or manual assistance, solving the problem of blind spots in health care bathing.

[0022] A pitching hydraulic cylinder 9 is hinged to the inner bottom wall of the chamber 1. The other end of the pitching hydraulic cylinder 9 is hinged to the support plate 3. A waterproof rubber sleeve 10 is fitted onto the outer surface of the pitching hydraulic cylinder 9. The waterproof rubber sleeve 10 has a corrugated telescopic structure. One end of the waterproof rubber sleeve 10 is fixed to the support plate 3, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the chamber 1. Through the extension and retraction of the pitching hydraulic cylinder 9, the support plate 3 rotates around the end hinge axis. This allows for flexible adjustment of the tilt angle of the support plate 3 according to the elderly person's physical condition and bathing needs. This ensures a more comfortable bathing posture for the elderly person and also allows for flushing at different angles with the water flow, preventing sewage residue and ensuring hygiene. After bathing, the support plate 3 and the independent lifting bed plate 4 are cleaned. An airbag 11 is installed at the head opening of the cover 2 and the body 1. The airbag 11 is a ring-shaped medical latex inflatable sealing structure. The airbag 11 is hollow inside and has an independent inflation port. When the cover 2 is closed and locked, an appropriate amount of gas is injected into the airbag 11 to make it expand and deform to fill the assembly gap between the cover 2 and the body 1, supporting the user's neck and forming a flexible waterproof sealing ring. It should be noted that a shampoo basin is installed at the head opening of the cover 2 and the body 1 to clean the elderly's hair and scalp separately. The shampoo wastewater is discharged independently and completely isolated from the body bathing water circuit to avoid cross-infection.

[0023] Both the chamber body 1 and the cover 2 are double-layered, lightweight, high-strength, heat-insulating, hollow structures. Inside the interlayer, two completely physically isolated piping systems are independently installed: a constant-temperature microbubble pure bathing water system 12 and a dedicated disinfectant atomizing and sterilizing water system 13. These two water systems are completely independent, with no mixing or cross-contamination of liquids. Spray nozzles are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the composite bed board, corresponding to the waist and hip areas of the human body, with embedded surfing nozzles tilted upwards at 30° towards the middle of the torso to prevent disinfectant residue from mixing with the bathing water, avoiding skin irritation, allergies, and mucosal infections in the elderly. The sealed space within the interlayer of chamber body 1 serves as a dedicated piping compartment, with all cleaning and disinfection water systems pre-embedded and concealed within... Inside the interlayer, the inner wall of chamber 1 has no exposed pipes, protruding nozzles, or messy wiring. The inner wall is smooth and flat, making it easy to wipe and disinfect, and free of unsanitary conditions, thus greatly improving safety. It should be noted that the water inlet of the constant temperature microbubble pure bathing water circuit 12 can be detachably connected to the water supply system. After bathing, the water inlet of the constant temperature microbubble pure bathing water circuit 12 can be connected to a hot air blower. The constant temperature microbubble pure bathing water circuit 12 is used to send air into chamber 1 to dry the body. This setting integrates the water supply circuit and the air supply circuit, simplifying the overall structure and allowing the warm air to be blown evenly onto the body.

[0024] When in use, first raise the entire chamber 1 to the same height as the nursing bed board, raise the independent lifting bed board 4 to the same height as the nursing bed, transfer the elderly person to the independent lifting bed board 4, lower the entire chamber 1 so that the independent lifting bed board 4 is completely inside the chamber 1, close and lock the chamber cover 2, and the elderly person's head and neck are exposed from the opening, inflating the annular airbag 11 to complete the neck sealing and waterproofing.

[0025] When the bathing operation begins, constant temperature clean water is injected into the chamber 1, the independent lifting bed 4 is lowered, and the internal pressure sensor confirms the suspension state of the human body's back. The microbubble water spray pipe sprays microbubble water upwards, and together with the surfing nozzles set on both sides, it washes the folds and dead corners of various parts of the human body. At the same time, the tilt angle of the support plate 3 can be adjusted by the tilt hydraulic cylinder 9 to maintain a comfortable bathing posture and assist in sewage discharge.

[0026] After the bathing is completed, the wastewater in the ward is drained, and the special disinfectant misting system is activated to carry out full-area misting disinfection of the ward 1, the support plate 3, and the independent lifting bed 4. Then the disinfection waste liquid is discharged to complete the entire operation process. The entire process does not require caregivers to move the elderly. The operation is simple and the cleaning and disinfection effect is perfect.

[0027] With the support plate 3 and the independent lifting bed plate 4, combined with microbubble suspension technology, the back of the disabled elderly automatically lifts off the bed during soaking, achieving thorough cleaning without turning over or manual assistance. Relying on two sets of pipeline systems independently arranged inside the interlayer, the bathing water and disinfectant water are physically isolated. The inner wall of the chamber 1 is flat with no exposed components, which effectively alleviates the problem of dirt and grime accumulating in traditional equipment, improving nursing efficiency and the elderly's experience, while reducing the workload of nursing staff.

[0028] By incorporating a pressure sensor in the independent lifting bed board, the system enables real-time dynamic sensing of the elderly person's back suspension status. The microbubble generator can automatically adjust the upward jet thrust based on pressure feedback, ensuring that the water flow penetrates the back folds and spinal crevices while preventing excessive thrust from impacting fragile skin tissue. This achieves precise and safe control of on-demand rinsing, avoiding the discomfort caused by blindly applying high-pressure water flow.

[0029] By switching the water inlet of the microbubble bath pipe to a hot air blower, a dual-function design is achieved. This design eliminates the need for additional complex drying ducts, simplifying the internal structure and reducing manufacturing costs. At the same time, warm air is evenly distributed to the elderly person's entire body along the original dense micro-perforation spray device, creating a gentle, enveloping drying effect. This solves the problems of traditional equipment being difficult to dry the elderly person and easily causing them to catch a cold.

[0030] By adopting a head and neck exposed canopy design, combined with an inflatable and deformable ring-shaped airbag, a flexible waterproof seal is formed to protect the neck while effectively avoiding claustrophobia caused by a fully enclosed structure. The independent shampoo basin at the opening of the cabin completely separates the wastewater from the wastewater for cleaning hair and scalp from the wastewater for bathing the body, preventing the oil and dirt from the head from contaminating the bathing water circuit of the body and eliminating the risk of cross-infection.

[0031] By equipping the base of the device with an integrated lifting hydraulic cylinder, it can be precisely aligned with the nursing bed of the bedridden elderly. The caregiver only needs to slide the independent bed board out horizontally and connect it with the nursing bed surface to allow the elderly to roll down or move horizontally into the cabin, realizing zero-lifting and carrying transfer operations. This design fundamentally solves the industry pain points of manual lifting and carrying in the background technology, such as fractures and collisions of the elderly and lumbar muscle strain of caregivers, and greatly improves the safety of the transfer process.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
