Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air mattresses, and more particularly, to an air mattress for preventing foot pressure injuries. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the air mattresses used clinically do not have a special part to prop up the feet. Many patients still need to prepare a pillow to prop up their feet to prevent pressure sores on the outer ankles and heels, which is very inconvenient. For some patients who are relatively tall, when the bed is cranked up, the person will slide downwards, and the feet will contact the end board of the bed. Over time, pressure sores will also appear on the toes.

[0003] The structure of the product can refer to an air mattress disclosed in the Chinese patent document with the publication number: CN208974386U, which includes a top layer fabric, a bottom layer fabric, and an edge fabric. The top layer fabric, the bottom layer fabric, and the edge fabric form an inflation chamber, and also includes a transverse isolation pad and a plurality of vertical isolation pads disposed inside the inflation chamber.

[0004] In the above structure, a foot support structure is not provided, resulting in the problem that the outer ankles and heels are prone to pressure sores when contacting the bed surface for a long time.

[0005] Therefore, an air mattress for preventing foot pressure injuries is needed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The content part of this application is used to briefly introduce concepts, which will be described in detail in the following detailed implementation part. The content part of this application is not intended to identify the key features or essential features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solution.

[0007] To solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background art part, some embodiments of this application provide an air mattress for preventing foot pressure injuries, including: an air mattress; the air mattress for preventing foot pressure injuries further includes: a foot support airbag for supporting the feet; an airbag pad disposed at the end position of the air mattress for preventing the feet from touching the bed board; an air pump having two air outlet ports for inflating the air mattress, the foot support airbag, and the airbag pad; a connecting pipe, one end of which is connected to one of the air outlet ports of the air pump, and the other end is connected to the air mattress; a shunt pipe having one air inlet end and two air outlet ends, the air inlet end is connected to the other air outlet port of the air pump, and the two air outlet ends are respectively connected to the foot support airbag and the airbag pad; two control switches respectively controlling the two air outlet ports of the air pump.

[0008] By providing the foot support airbag, the feet are propped up to avoid pressure sores caused by long-term contact of the feet with the air mattress. At the same time, by providing the airbag pad, the feet are separated from the end board of the bed to avoid pressure sores caused by long-term contact of the feet with the end board of the bed.

[0009] Furthermore, the foot support airbag has two grooves for the feet to be placed in, and a strap for fixing the feet is also provided on the foot support airbag. The strap is located on one side of the groove, with a magic tape provided at one end of the strap, and a corresponding magic tape is provided on the other side of the groove.

[0010] Through the provided strap, after the ankle is placed on the foot support airbag, the foot is fixed by the foot support airbag.

[0011] Furthermore, mounting holes evenly distributed along the length direction of the air mattress are provided on the side of the air mattress, and mounting laces for connecting with the mounting holes are connected to both sides of the foot support airbag.

[0012] Through the provided mounting laces, it is convenient to install the foot support airbag on the air mattress when needed.

[0013] Furthermore, two groups of mounting laces are respectively provided on both sides of the foot support airbag.

[0014] By connecting the two groups of mounting laces to different mounting holes, the foot support airbag is limited in position to prevent tipping and skewing.

[0015] Furthermore, magic tapes are provided at the end position of the air mattress, and corresponding magic tapes are also provided on the airbag pad.

[0016] The airbag pad is installed at the end position of the air mattress through the provided magic tapes.

[0017] Furthermore, an adjustment bladder is provided at the lower end of the foot support bladder.

[0018] By inflating the adjustment bladder, the support height of the foot is adjusted.

[0019] Furthermore, limit hooks are provided on both sides of the bottom wall of the adjustment bladder, and a plurality of hook loops for the limit hooks to hook on are arranged in an up-and-down manner on the foot support bladder.

[0020] By the provided limit hooks, the limit hooks are hooked onto the hook loops at different positions to control the size of the inflation and expansion of the adjustment bladder, thereby adjusting the support height of the foot.

[0021] Furthermore, a lace is connected to the adjustment bladder.

[0022] Furthermore, massage protrusions are provided on the inner wall of the groove.

[0023] The beneficial effect of this application is: to provide an air mattress for preventing foot pressure injuries. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
