[0041] See also Figure 1 The present embodiment provides an adjustable inflatable anti-pressure chest belt including a chest belt body, which has a rectangular structure. The chest belt body includes an inflatable area 1 and a fixing belt 2, which is arranged adjacent to one side of the inflatable area 1; the inflatable area 1 includes a main inflatable part 11 and two inflatable adjustment belts 12, which are respectively arranged adjacent to the upper and lower sides of the main inflatable part 11; wherein the inflatable area 1 is close to the first end of the chest belt body, and the fixing belt 2 is close to the second end of the chest belt body, and the first end and the second end are detachably connected.

[0042] Specifically, the utility model provides an adjustable inflatable anti-pressure chest belt including a chest belt body, which has a rectangular structure. The chest belt body includes an inflation area 1 and a fixing belt 2. The fixing belt 2 is arranged adjacent to one side of the inflation area 1. The inflation area 1 is used to inflate and deflate air to adjust the overall size of the chest belt body, so that it is convenient for adapting to people of different sizes. At the same time, it can also adjust the pressure exerted on the patient when wearing it by intermittent inflation and deflation, so as to avoid the patient feeling uncomfortable due to long-term continuous pressure and reduce the pressure damage that may occur to the patient during use; the inflation area 1 includes a main inflation part 11 and two inflation adjustment belts 12. The main inflation part 11 is the middle part that surrounds the patient's chest, and the two inflation adjustment belts 12 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the main inflation part 11. When in use, the main inflation part 11 can be used to perform adaptive adjustment according to the patient's specific size and condition, so that the adjusted size and pressure meet the patient's use. The two inflation adjustment belts 12 can be used to adjust the chest belt respectively The tightness with which the main body is fixed on the patient, for example, when used by female patients, due to the ups and downs of female breasts, the inflation degree of the main inflatable part 11 needs to be adaptively adjusted. If only the main inflatable part 11 is used for fixation, according to experience, the chest strap main body is prone to slide down as a whole during use. Even if it is firmly fixed, it is easy for the patient to feel chest tightness and gradually form pressure injuries. The two inflatable adjustment belts 12 are arranged on both sides of the highest point of the female patient's chest. When fixed, the upper and lower sides of the chest strap main body can be tightened by adjusting the inflation degree of the two inflatable adjustment belts 12, thereby improving the stability and preventing slipping. At the same time, the pressure degree of the middle part is reduced, the patient's comfort is improved, and the possibility of pressure injuries is reduced. Thus, an adjustable inflatable anti-pressure chest strap is constructed, which can be adaptively adjusted according to the body size and pressure degree of different patients, so as to improve the patient's comfort and reduce the possibility of pressure injuries.

[0043] In some possible embodiments, the main inflatable portion 11 includes a chest airbag 111, a back airbag 112, a right airbag 113 and a left airbag 114, and the chest airbag 111, the right airbag 113, the back airbag 112 and the left airbag 114 are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence along the length direction of the chest strap body; wherein the chest airbag 111 is arranged close to the first end, and the right airbag 113 and the left airbag 114 are connected to form a side airbag.

[0044] Specifically, if Figure 2As shown, the main inflatable part 11 includes a chest airbag 111, a back airbag 112, a right airbag 113 and a left airbag 114, wherein the right airbag 113 and the left airbag 114 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the patient, thereby covering and adjusting the patient's chest in all directions; at the same time, the chest airbag 111, the back airbag 112 and the side airbags are not connected to each other, and the required parts can be adjusted separately during use. For example, when the patient is lying or in a prone position, the air volume of the back airbag 112 or the chest airbag 111 can be adaptively adjusted to suit the specific posture; for example, when some patients have other injuries or discomforts on some parts of their bodies, the airbags around the part on the bed can also be continuously and adaptively adjusted to avoid long-term compression causing further impact on the injuries or discomforts.

[0045] In some possible embodiments, the adjustable inflatable anti-pressure chest strap also includes a plurality of pressure measuring elements 3, which are evenly arranged on the right air bag 113, the left air bag 114 and the two inflatable adjustment straps 12; wherein, the plurality of pressure measuring elements 3 are arranged close to the front of the chest strap body.

[0046] Specifically, since some patients are unable to express themselves when under pressure, several pressure measuring elements 3 can be provided to facilitate medical staff to monitor the pressure conditions of different parts of the patient in real time and assist them in making adjustments.

[0047] In some possible embodiments, six pressure measuring elements 3 are provided, one pressure measuring element 3 is provided on each of the right airbag 113 and the left airbag 114, and two pressure measuring elements 3 arranged at intervals are provided on each of the two inflatable adjustment belts 12; wherein, two of the four pressure measuring elements 3 arranged on the two inflatable adjustment belts 12 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the back airbag 112, and the other two of the four pressure measuring elements 3 arranged on the two inflatable adjustment belts 12 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the chest airbag 111; each pressure measuring element 3 includes two pressure sensors arranged at intervals, and the two pressure sensors are communicatively connected.

[0048] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, six pressure measuring elements 3 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the patient's chest, the upper and lower sides of the back, and the armpits on both sides, so as to facilitate pressure detection at multiple locations for real-time adjustment.

[0049] In some possible implementations, the adjustable inflatable anti-pressure chest belt is further provided with a connecting pipe 4 , one end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the chest belt body, and the other end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the adjustment platform.

[0050] Specifically, by setting up the connecting pipe 4, it can be conveniently connected to an external adjustment platform. The adjustment platform can be set up with reference to the blood pressure measuring instrument, and can simultaneously view the pressure values ​​of pressure sensors at different points and adjust the inflation and deflation of different parts.

[0051] In some possible embodiments, the connecting pipe 4 includes an inflation pipe and a data transmission line. Five inflation branches are arranged inside the inflation pipe, and the five inflation branches are respectively connected to the chest airbag 111, the back airbag 112, the side airbag and the two inflation adjustment belts 12; wherein, one end of the five inflation branches is arranged at the second end of the chest strap body, and the other ends of the five inflation branches converge to be stored in the inflation pipe; the data transmission line is communicatively connected to a number of pressure sensors.

[0052] Specifically, five inflation branches are provided in the inflation pipe, which are respectively connected to the chest airbag 111, the back airbag 112, the side airbag and the two inflation adjustment belts 12, so that medical staff can inflate and deflate the air separately and make fine adjustments. Figure 2 As shown, a pipe channel is provided at the second end of the chest strap body, and five inflation branches can pass through the second end and converge from the bottom into the main pipe of the connecting pipe 4 and be connected to the outside.

[0053] In some possible embodiments, a first Velcro surface 5 is provided on the back side of the first end, and a second Velcro surface 21 is provided on the front side of the fixing strap 2, and the first Velcro surface 5 and the second Velcro surface 21 are detachably bonded; the chest strap body is also provided with a reinforcement strap 6, one end of the reinforcement strap 6 is connected to the middle part of the back side of the chest strap body, and a third Velcro surface 61 is provided on the inner side surface of the reinforcement strap 6, and a fourth Velcro surface 22 is also provided on the back side of the fixing strap 2, and the third Velcro surface 61 and the fourth Velcro surface 22 are detachably bonded.

[0054] Specifically, since the chest strap body provided by the present application has an inflatable air cushion built in, the overall size will change accordingly when the inflation or deflation is adjusted, and pressure will be exerted on the whole during use. Therefore, by setting the reinforcement belt 6, an overlapping and cross-bonding form is formed between the first end, the fixing belt 2 and the reinforcement belt 6, which improves the friction between each other and the bonding stability, and can greatly avoid the separation of the two ends of the chest strap body due to inflation or deflation.

[0055] In some possible implementations, the pressure sensor is a flexible film pressure sensor.

[0056] Specifically, by adopting a flexible thin film pressure sensor, the patient's body is prevented from having an excessive foreign body sensation, thereby improving the comfort of use.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of the present invention, intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them.
