Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical care and nursing, and particularly relates to a turning pillow for bedridden patients. Background Art

[0002] The turning over of bedridden patients usually requires the help of nursing staff, which not only increases the pressure on medical resources, but also may affect the privacy and dignity of patients. In order to solve this problem, various turning-over assisting devices have been proposed and used, including turning-over pillows. For example, the Chinese utility model patent "CN217091236U-An adjustable inflatable turning-over pillow" discloses an inflatable turning-over pillow. However, in actual use, it still has some limitations in terms of support performance and comfort. First, it is difficult to ensure that the turning-over pillow is firmly fixed only by its own gravity, and it may shift due to excessive force. Secondly, the inflated part of the turning-over pillow covers too large an area, because the shape of the airbag is unstable, and the inflated part covers the entire turning-over pillow, which will lead to insufficient support strength and increase the back fatigue of bedridden patients after long-term use. If a hard pillow is used, although the support strength is sufficient, the softness and comfort are poor. Therefore, it is necessary to further provide a turning-over pillow that is firmly fixed, has sufficient support strength, is soft and comfortable, and has the function of adjusting the local concave and convex degree of the pillow through the inflation function on the basis of the existing technology.

[0022] The present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, and the content of the present utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0023] A turning pillow for bedridden patients, as Figure 1 shown, at least includes a pillow 1 in the shape of a triangle or a wedge. The front end 2 of the pillow in contact with the patient's back is inclined. A telescopic base assembly is provided at the rear end 3 of the pillow facing the bed rail. The telescopic base assembly at least includes a push plate 4, a screw rod 5, a screw rod sleeve 6, a rotating handle 7, and a base 8 fixed on the inner side of the bed rail. The pillow is fitted, embedded, or adhered to the push plate as a whole. The push plate is a vertical plate or a folded-line plate. The push plate can not only drive the overall movement of the pillow but also play a protective role to avoid direct contact between the screw rod and the pillow. The push plate is made of a hard material such as a wooden board or a metal plate. The pillow core of the pillow is made of memory foam or foam. After the two are used in combination, compared with the soft pillow structure or airbag structure in the prior art, it can provide sufficient support force for the user's back, reduce the fatigue degree of the user's back, and at the same time, it is softer and more comfortable than the hard pillow structure in the prior art. Therefore, it takes into account both the support force and the softness and comfort.

[0024] The screw rod sleeve is fixedly connected to the base as an essentially integral structure. The screw rod is sleeved inside the screw rod sleeve. One end of the screw rod is connected to the push plate and the other end is connected to the rotating handle. The length of the screw rod is greater than the distance between the rear end of the pillow and the bed rail so that the rotating handle is located outside the bed rail. By rotating the rotating handle, the forward or backward movement of the screw rod can be controlled to adjust the specific position of the pillow. The bed rail is provided with more than one through hole, and the base is provided with holes corresponding to the size and position of the through holes. The connection is made through the through hole of the bed rail and the hole 11 of the base by a threaded nut structure, which can make the base more firmly fixed to the bed rail than other existing methods, ensuring that the pillow does not shift.

[0025] As Figure 2As shown, the pillow consists of a pillowcase 13 and a pillow core 14. The pillow core is a triangular pillow core with a length of 40 cm, a width of 10 cm, and a height of 15 cm. The pillow core has multiple ventilation holes 10 extending from the front end to the side. The good air permeability of the pillow can further reduce the situation of the user having back heat and humidity and sweating. Since it is found in the actual use process that the support needs of the user for the waist are not unified, a structure that allows the user to adjust the waist support area and support strength by himself is further designed. Specifically, an inflatable airbag 9 is arranged at the position of the front end of the pillow corresponding to the user's waist, and a bag body 12 is arranged at the position of the front end of the pillowcase corresponding to the user's waist. The inflatable airbag is installed in the bag body. The bag body is provided with at least one opening into which a pipe connecting the inflatable airbag and a three-way ventilation valve can be inserted. The three interfaces of the three-way ventilation valve are respectively connected to the inflatable airbag, the intake pipe of the air pump, and the exhaust pipe of the air pump. This structure can realize the inflation and deflation of the inflatable airbag, so that the user can adjust the waist support area and support strength according to his own actual needs.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present technical solution are as follows:

[0027] 1. The base of the telescopic base assembly is fixedly connected to the bed rail through a threaded nut structure, which can make the base more firmly fixed to the bed rail compared with the prior art, ensuring that the pillow does not shift during use.

[0028] 2. The push plate of the telescopic base assembly can not only drive the overall movement of the pillow, but also play a protective role to prevent the screw rod from directly contacting the pillow.

[0029] 3. The pillow core of the pillow is made of memory foam or foam, and the push plate that the pillow fits is made of a hard material. Compared with the soft pillow structure or airbag structure of the prior art, it can provide sufficient support strength for the user's back, reduce the fatigue degree of the user's back, and at the same time, it is softer and more comfortable compared with the hard pillow structure of the prior art. Therefore, it takes into account both the support strength and the softness and comfort.

[0030] 4. The pillow core has multiple ventilation holes extending from the front end to the side. The good air permeability can further reduce the situation of the user having back heat and humidity and sweating, and increase the comfort of the user.

[0031] 5. Only an inflatable airbag is arranged at the position of the front end of the pillow corresponding to the user's waist, which can not only allow the user to adjust the waist support area and support strength according to his own actual needs, but also avoid the disadvantages of the large coverage area of the inflatable airbag and the unstable airbag shape resulting in insufficient support strength in the prior art.
