[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a nursing device for tumor chemotherapy with improved comfort, and the specific structure is as follows: First, the bed 100 is the basic part of the nursing device, and four supporting legs 110 are provided at its lower end to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the bed 100. The supporting legs 110 can be designed to have the ability to adjust the height to adapt to the needs of different patients and the hospital environment. The front end of the bed 100 is also provided with a support plate 120 with an adjustable support angle. The support plate 120 supports the patient's back so that the patient can lie on his side for convenient nursing and rest.

[0030] The receiving assembly 200 is the core part of the nursing equipment, including a vertical pole 210, a universal joint arm 220, and a collection bucket 230. The vertical pole 210 is fixed to one side of the bed 100, providing a sturdy support structure. One end of the universal joint arm 220 is connected to the vertical pole 210, and the other end is connected to the collection bucket 230. This design allows the collection bucket 230 to be flexibly adjusted in position and angle as needed for easy use by the patient. A receiving bucket 240 is provided at the upper end of the collection bucket 230, the lower end of which is connected to the inner cavity of the collection bucket 230 to facilitate the collection of the patient's vomit. An induction valve 250 is provided at the lower end of the receiving bucket 240. The induction valve 250 can automatically open and close according to the patient's needs, ensuring that the waste collection process is both hygienic and convenient.

[0031] The deodorization component 300 includes a main unit 310 and a controller. An exhaust fan 320 and a filter device are installed inside the main unit 310. The inlet of the exhaust fan 320 is connected to the inner cavity of the collection barrel 230 through the suction pipe 330, and the outlet is connected to the filter device. This design can effectively extract the odor in the collection barrel 230 and purify it through the filter device, thereby improving the air environment in the ward. The controller is the operation center of the entire device. The controller is electrically connected to the sensing valve 250 and the exhaust fan 320, making the operation of the device more intelligent. The controller can automatically adjust the switch of the sensing valve 250 and the working mode of the exhaust fan 320 according to the patient's needs and the working status of the device to ensure efficient and stable operation of the equipment.

[0032] In summary, the utility model proposes a nursing device for tumor chemotherapy with improved comfort. When the patient needs to vomit, the collection bucket 230 can be quickly moved to a suitable position through the universal joint arm 220, and then the patient spit the vomit into the receiving bucket 240. The sensing valve 250 detects in real time and opens automatically to send the vomit into the inner cavity of the collection bucket 230. The inner wall of the receiving bucket 240 is an inclined smooth surface, which is conducive to the automatic sliding of the vomit. The controller controls the exhaust fan 320 to start according to the signal of the sensing valve 250. The exhaust fan 320 immediately draws away the odor emitted by the vomit, and eliminates the odor through the filtering device to prevent the odor from affecting the tumor patient and prevent the vomit from causing the spread of bacteria.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, the induction valve 250 is a key component between the collection bucket 230 and the receiving hopper 240. The induction valve 250 consists of a valve body, a valve disc, a motor, and a sensor switch. The valve body is fixed to the lower end of the receiving hopper 240 and tightly connected to the collection bucket 230. The valve body is provided with a through hole that connects to the inner cavity of the collection bucket 230, allowing vomitus or liquid to pass through. The valve disc is rotatably connected to the valve body and can close the through hole as needed to prevent odor leakage. The motor is connected to the valve body to drive the valve disc to rotate, opening and closing the valve disc. The sensor switch is another key component of the induction valve 250 and is used to detect whether vomitus or other waste is on the valve disc. When the sensor switch detects vomitus on the valve disc, a controller activates the motor, driving the valve disc to rotate, opening the through hole and allowing the vomitus to be discharged into the collection bucket 230. The valve disc is positioned to fit the bottom surface of the valve body. During its rotation, the vomitus on the valve disc is scraped away by the valve body and discharged into the collection bucket 230.

[0034] In other embodiments of the present invention, the sensing valve 250 comprises a duckbill valve and a photoelectric switch. The duckbill valve is a specially designed valve, also known as a back-pressure flexible check valve, duckbill check valve, or rubber check valve. It has an open inlet and a closed outlet. When there is no internal pressure, the duckbill outlet closes due to its own elasticity. As internal pressure gradually increases, the duckbill outlet opens and gradually expands, allowing the contents to be discharged. The open end of the duckbill valve communicates with the receiving hopper 240, while the closed end is located within the inner cavity of the collection bucket 230. The duckbill valve is normally closed. When vomitus enters the open end, it automatically opens, directing vomitus or liquid in the receiving hopper 240 into the collection bucket 230. A photoelectric switch is located on the outer wall of the duckbill valve to detect whether the closed end of the duckbill valve is open. The photoelectric switch can detect whether the duckbill valve is open through distance detection, or it can be a through-beam photoelectric switch to detect whether vomitus has passed through and provide feedback to the controller.

[0035] In addition, the sensing valve 250 can also adopt various structural forms, as long as it can meet the requirements of automatic opening and closing.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the receiving assembly 200 is specially designed with a nozzle located on the inner wall of the upper end of the receiving bucket 240. Water sprayed from the nozzle cleans the inner wall of the receiving bucket 240, ensuring that all vomitus enters the collection bucket 230. The nozzle is connected to a water pump via a water pipe. The water pump is fixed inside the main unit 310. The main unit 310 contains a water storage chamber that provides water to the water pump, ensuring a continuous water supply to the nozzle. The water inlet of the water pump is directly connected to the water storage chamber, allowing water to flow smoothly from the storage chamber into the water pump. The water pump is connected to a controller that starts and stops the water pump based on signals from the sensor valve 250. For example, after the sensor valve 250 is opened for a period of time and then stops, the pump is started and water is sprayed through the nozzle to remove vomitus from the inner wall of the receiving bucket 240. This not only improves nursing efficiency but also helps maintain the cleanliness and sanitation of nursing equipment, providing patients with a more comfortable and hygienic treatment environment.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, a specially designed connection method is used between the suction tube 330 and the collection bucket 230. The upper end of the suction tube 330 is connected to the upper end of the collection bucket 230, allowing the suction tube 330 to directly draw air from the top of the collection bucket 230 without drawing in vomitus. An L-shaped baffle is specially designed on the inner wall of the collection bucket 230. The baffle is located below the upper end of the suction tube 330. This arrangement helps guide air flow, forcing the air to flow through a curved path before entering the suction tube 330, preventing the air from carrying vomitus into the suction tube 330.

[0038] In the present invention, the design of the filter device is key to ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the air. The filter device includes a water bath 340 loaded with a filtered liquid that has the ability to absorb odors. The filtered liquid can be water or a special liquid. A vertical partition 341 is provided in the middle of the water bath 340. This partition 341 divides the water bath 340 into two independent chambers: a first absorption chamber 342 and a second absorption chamber 343. The partition 341 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes that allow bubbles to flow between the two chambers. When the air passes through the ventilation holes, it can fully contact the filtered liquid, thereby more effectively absorbing odors. An air inlet pipe 350 is provided in the first absorption chamber 342. The upper end of the air inlet pipe 350 is directly connected to the outlet of the exhaust fan 320, while the lower end extends to the bottom of the first absorption chamber 342. All air extracted by the exhaust fan 320 enters the bottom of the first absorption chamber 342. A sealing plate 360 is installed on the outer wall of the air inlet pipe 350. This seals the first absorption chamber 342 and forces air through the multiple vents in the partition 341 into the second absorption chamber 343. An exhaust port is located at the top of the second absorption chamber 343, through which the filtered air is discharged. With this structure, odorous air must pass through the filtered liquid in the first and second absorption chambers 342 and 343, where the filtered liquid absorbs the odor.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the filtration device includes a bag filter 370 in addition to the water bath 340. The inlet of the bag filter 370 is directly connected to the exhaust port of the second absorption chamber 343. Air initially filtered by the water bath 340 enters the bag filter 370 for further purification. The bag filter 370 is typically composed of multiple layers of filter material, effectively capturing fine particles and bacteria, thereby providing a deeper level of filtration. The outlet of the bag filter 370 is located on the outer wall of the main unit 310 to discharge the filtered air.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, a channel is designed at the lower end of the partition 341, which connects the first absorption chamber 342 and the second absorption chamber 343. When the amount of air is large and the vent is not exhausted in time, the channel meets the requirements of air passage and provides a path for the exchange of filtered liquid between the first absorption chamber 342 and the second absorption chamber 343.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate the cleaning of the collection bucket 230, the connection between the universal joint arm 220 and the collection bucket 230 adopts a quick-release buckle design, allowing the universal joint arm 220 to be quickly and conveniently connected to or separated from the collection bucket 230, thereby improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the equipment. When the collection bucket 230 needs to be cleaned or replaced, the operation can be easily performed without the use of tools, which saves time and reduces the labor intensity of the operator. Similarly, the connection between the upper end of the suction pipe 330 and the collection bucket 230 also adopts a quick connector design. The quick connector allows for quick connection and disconnection between the suction pipe 330 and the collection bucket 230, facilitating operation when the collection bucket 230 needs to be cleaned.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface of the host 310 is designed with multiple rollers 311 and adjustable feet 312. The setting of the rollers 311 allows the host 310 to be easily moved on a flat surface, improving portability, while the design of the adjustable feet 312 ensures that the host 310 remains stable during use. The adjustable height of the adjustable feet 312 is greater than the height of the rollers 311. After the host 310 is moved to a specified position, the feet 110 can be adjusted to fix the host 310, ensuring the stability of the device even on uneven ground. This design takes into account the needs of different usage environments, making the device adaptable to more scenarios.

[0043] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
