[0036] Example 2
[0037] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, to further improve the applicability of the body cushion and simplify the operation process to save time, the lower body support assembly 22 includes a core plate 223; two lower body support pads 221 are movably mounted on the core plate 223, and an adjustment assembly 3 is provided between the core plate 223 and the lower portion of the cushion base 1. The lower body support pads 221 are movably mounted on the core plate 223 and can be adjusted to suit different body shapes and leg needs.
[0038] Furthermore, the adjustment component 3 includes a scissor structure 31; the two ends of the scissor structure 31 are respectively provided with pillars 32 for connecting the lower body support pad 221; the pad base 1 is provided with a transmission mechanism 33 for adjusting the angle of the scissor structure 31; the lower body support pad 221 is allowed to be adjusted in the vertical and horizontal directions to adapt to the body shape and needs of different patients.
[0039] It should be noted that a cavity structure is provided between the core plate 223 and the lower portion of the base plate 1 for accommodating the adjustment assembly 3. A corresponding portion of the core plate 223 is provided with a track 224 for the sliding movement of the support posts 32. The adjustment assembly 3 is located within the cavity structure, and the two support posts pass through the track 224 and connect to the bottom of the two lower body support pads 221, allowing the lower body support pads 221 to be smoothly adjusted in position.
[0040] Working principle: A connecting shaft is provided between the scissor-fork structures 31, on which two connecting rods are rotatably mounted, and the connecting shaft is fixedly mounted on the core plate 223. The transmission mechanism 33 includes two connecting rods 34 and a hand-cranked screw slide 35. One end of the two connecting rods 34 is connected to the slide 35, and the other end is hinged to the middle part of the length direction of the scissor-fork structure 31. The fixed platform 36 is installed in the cavity of the base plate 1, and the handwheel passes through the lower end of the base plate 1. When in use, the medical staff turns the handwheel to drive the screw to rotate. Due to the fit between the threads, the nut will make a linear motion on the screw, and the slide 35 will also make a linear motion on the screw through the nut, and drive the two connecting rods 34 to make a linear motion. Since the two connecting rods 34 are hinged to the scissor-fork structure 31, when the two connecting rods 34 make a linear motion, the corresponding scissor-fork structure 31 changes angle, and then drives the lower body support pad 221 to move up and down and left and right to the required height at the same time through the column.
[0041] In addition, the linear motion of the connecting rod 34 can also be achieved by using a spiral lifting mechanism, or by utilizing the elastic force of a spring or elastic element.
[0042] Specific application cases
[0043] In the intensive care unit, prone ventilation is a commonly used treatment method for some patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The use of a prone ventilation air cushion can effectively prevent the patient from putting pressure on the chest, face, genitals and other parts of the body during the prone position, thereby reducing the occurrence of pressure sores. In certain types of surgery, the patient needs to remain in a prone position. At this time, the prone ventilation air cushion can ensure that the patient's mouth and nose are not compressed, keep the airway open, and appropriately disperse the pressure on other parts of the body to improve the patient's comfort. In rehabilitation treatment, some patients need prone training or treatment, such as physical therapy, massage, etc. The prone ventilation air cushion can help patients maintain the correct posture during treatment, reduce local pressure, and promote the recovery process.
[0044] The present application provides a prone position body pad. When the device is used, the specific operation process is as follows:
[0045] First, check whether the various components of the body cushion are intact and ensure that all parts that need to be inflated have been inflated to the appropriate air pressure. Flip up the flap 213 from the upper part of the cushion base 1 so that it is in a horizontal or slightly tilted state for subsequent adjustment, unfold the two telescopic rods 103, adjust the length of the telescopic rods 103 according to the patient's needs, connect the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 103 to the support legs 102, and ensure that the connection is firm, place the support legs 102 on the corresponding protrusions 11 on the cushion base 1, and adjust the length of the telescopic rods 103 to make the upper body support assembly 21 reach the required angle. Use the transmission mechanism 33 on the cushion base 1 to adjust the angle of the scissor structure 31. As the angle of the scissor structure 31 changes, the position of the lower body support cushion 221 will also be adjusted accordingly. After the patient lies prone, the support components of the upper and lower body can continue to be fine-tuned according to the patient's feedback and comfort requirements to achieve the best support effect.
[0046] In summary, although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
