[0026] With such arrangement, when the user is transporting the air mattress, the airbag assembly 5 is pulled out and folded from the connecting base 31 and the connecting strip 33. When the user assembles the air mattress, the user pulls open the fleece-surface Velcro 35 and the thorn-surface Velcro 34 on the connecting strip 33, pulls the connecting strip 33 out of the fixing ring 32, puts in the large airbag 51, passes the connecting strip 33 through the fixing ring 32, adheres the fleece-surface Velcro 35 and the thorn-surface Velcro 34 on the connecting strip 33 that are in opposite positions to fix the large airbag 51, turns on the air pump 2, and the gas in the air pump 2 is connected to the pipeline assembly 4 to control the flow of gas in the air mattress. When inflation is required, the pipeline assembly 4 is opened and the small airbag 53 starts to inflate. When the user needs to turn over to inflate, the pipeline assembly 4 is opened and the large airbag 51 starts to inflate. After the turning over action is completed, the large airbag 51 starts to deflate and turns to the left according to the user's needs. The airbag 51 can be inflated or deflated by turning over or turning right. The airbag assembly 5 can be pulled out from the connecting base 31 and the connecting strip 33 and folded for easy transportation and storage. This design makes the airbed easy to carry and suitable for use in homes, hospitals or nursing institutions. Through the Velcro on the connecting strip 33, the user can easily fix the airbag on the connecting base 31 to ensure the stability and safety of the airbed during use. The airbed is equipped with an air pump 2, which controls the flow of gas through the pipe assembly 4. The design of the pipe assembly 4 enables the airbed to be inflated and deflated as needed. In daily use, the small airbag 53 is responsible for providing basic support and comfort. When the user needs to turn over, the large airbag 51 begins to inflate to help the user easily change body position. After turning over, the large airbag 51 will automatically deflate to adapt to the new body position.

[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The pipeline assembly 4 includes a fixed box 41, a main pipeline 42, a branch pipeline 43 and an electromagnetic reversing valve 44. The fixed box 41 is arranged on the bracket 1, and a connecting hole is opened on the fixed box 41. The electromagnetic reversing valve 44 is arranged on the air bag 51 through the connecting hole. The branch pipeline 43 is arranged on the end of the electromagnetic reversing valve 44 away from the air bag 51. A through hole is opened on the fixed box 41. The main pipeline 42 is arranged on the end of the branch pipeline 43 away from the electromagnetic reversing valve 44 through the through hole. The air pump 2 is arranged on the end of the main pipeline 42 away from the branch pipeline 43. A display screen 7 and a control button 8 are arranged on the air pump 2. A sensor 45 is arranged on the electromagnetic reversing valve 44. An indicator light 9 is arranged on the air pump 2. A side panel 6 is arranged on the bracket 1, and a handle hole 61 is opened on the side panel 6.

[0028] In this way, the fixed box 41 is connected to the bracket 1, and the large air bag 51 is connected to the electromagnetic reversing valve 44 in the fixed box 41. When the medical staff controls the patient to turn left or right, the position of the person is sensed by the sensor 45. The sensor 45 corresponds to the indicator light 9 on the air pump 2. The medical staff turns on the electromagnetic reversing valve 44 of the large air bag 51 that can help the patient turn over through the indicator light 9. The air pump 2 starts, and the gas reaches the branch pipe 43 through the main pipe 42, and inflates the large air bag 51 that can help the patient turn over, thereby helping the patient turn over. After the patient turns over, the electromagnetic reversing valve 44 opens and changes direction to release the gas in the large air bag 51. At the same time, the display screen 7 and the control button 8 on the air pump 2 can help the medical staff better observe the patient's condition and control the number of times the patient turns over. The medical staff chooses to turn over to the left or right according to the patient's needs. The sensor 45 senses the patient's position and automatically triggers the corresponding electromagnetic reversing valve 44. The sensor 45 can monitor the patient's position in real time to ensure that the turning action of the air mattress is performed accurately and avoids misoperation. The indicator light 9 on the air pump 2 is linked to the sensor 45. The indicator light 9 lights up to indicate that the sensor 45 detects the patient's position, prompting the medical staff to start the turning operation. This intuitive design reduces the complexity of the operation. The display screen 7 on the air pump 2 can display the patient's turning times, current body position and other information in real time, helping the medical staff to better understand the patient's condition. The medical staff can manually adjust the turning times and frequency of the air mattress through the control button 8 to meet the needs of different patients. After the air pump 2 is started, the gas enters the branch pipe 43 through the main pipe 42 and is finally filled into the large air bag 51. The inflation process of the large air bag 51 is controlled by the electromagnetic reversing valve 44 to ensure that sufficient support is provided when the patient turns over. Through the indicator light 9, the display screen 7 and the control button 8, the medical staff can intuitively operate the air mattress without complicated training. The automated turning function reduces the workload of medical staff, allowing them to focus more on other nursing work.

[0029] The implementation principle of the modular inflatable mattress with both turning over and transporting functions in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the airbag assembly 5 is pulled out and folded from the connecting base 31 and the connecting strip 33. When the user assembles the air mattress, the fur-surface Velcro 35 and the thorn-surface Velcro 34 on the connecting strip 33 are pulled out, the connecting strip 33 is pulled out from the fixing ring 32, and the large airbag 51 is put in. The connecting strip 33 passes through the fixing ring 32, and the relatively positioned fur-surface Velcro 35 and the thorn-surface Velcro 34 on the connecting strip 33 are bonded to fix the large airbag 51, the fixing box 41 is connected to the bracket 1, and the large airbag 51 is connected to the electromagnetic reversing valve 44 in the fixing box 41. When the medical staff controls the patient to turn left or right, the sensor The sensor 45 senses the position of the person, and the sensor 45 corresponds to the indicator light 9 on the air pump 2. The medical staff turns on the electromagnetic reversing valve 44 of the large air bag 51 that can help the patient turn over through the indicator light 9, and the air pump 2 is started. The gas reaches the branch pipe 43 through the main pipe 42, and inflates the large air bag 51 that can help the patient turn over, thereby helping the patient to turn over. After the patient turns over, the electromagnetic reversing valve 44 opens and changes direction to release the gas in the large air bag 51. According to the user's need to turn over to the left or right, the large air bag 51 that needs to be inflated or deflated is controlled. At the same time, the display screen 7 and control button 8 on the air pump 2 can help medical staff better observe the patient's condition and control the number of times the patient turns over.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
