[0030] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0031] When patients lie flat in bed for a long time, bedsores are likely to develop on their backs. For patients who have difficulty turning over, such as the elderly or paralyzed patients, a turning pillow is needed to turn them over and place them on their backs to maintain a side-lying position, making the patient more comfortable and ensuring ventilation to prevent back skin itching and other problems.
[0032] In related technologies, a support rod and a tube are installed between the base and the inclined plane. By connecting the support rod to the tube and using inserts to adjust the length of the support rod by inserting blocks into different positioning holes on the support rod, the inclined plane can be rotated to adjust the angle. However, when using the existing device, the force on the patient leaning on the inclined plane is concentrated on the support rod, resulting in a relatively concentrated and uneven support force, which is prone to damage after prolonged use.
[0033] To address some of the problems in related technologies, this application provides an adjustable turning pillow. When the tilt angle of the inclined plate 12 needs to be adjusted, simply pull the crossbar 21 out from inside the base 11. During the pulling process, the adjusting rod 22 will rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the inclined plate 12. Simultaneously, when pulling, the slot 23 presses against the locking block 26, causing the locking block 26 to retract into the housing 24 and compress the spring 25 until the locking block 26 aligns with the next slot 23. Then, the spring 25 rebounds, pushing the locking block 26 into the slot 23. At the same time, the crossbar 21 continues to move, and the locking block 26 continues to be compressed. During the movement of rod 21, locking block 26 repeats the above actions until the inclined plate 12 is adjusted to a suitable angle. Locking block 26 engages with slot 23 to prevent the crossbar 21 from retracting into the base 11, thereby stabilizing the adjusting rod 22 and stabilizing the position of the inclined plate 12. Finally, the inclined plate 12 is placed against the patient's back to assist the patient in turning over. When it is time to store the device after use, the slider 28 can be pinched and slid inside the slide groove 27, which will simultaneously cause locking block 26 to retract into the housing 24 and disengage from slot 23. Then, the restriction on the crossbar 21 is released. At this time, the inclined plate 12 and the base 11 are closed. The adjusting rod 22 is rotated and stored inside the base 11 to complete the storage.
[0034] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0035] Combination Figures 1-4This application provides an adjustable turning pillow, comprising: a base 11 with an inclined plate 12 at its bottom, one end of which is rotatably connected to the base 11; an adjustment assembly 2 is provided inside the base 11, the adjustment assembly 2 comprising: a crossbar 21 with one end inserted into the interior of the base 11; an adjustment rod 22 rotatably disposed at one end of the crossbar 21, the top end of the adjustment rod 22 being rotatably connected to the inclined plate 12; a slot 23 formed on the outer side wall of the crossbar 21; a housing 24 disposed inside the base 11; a spring 25 disposed inside the housing 24; a locking block 26 disposed inside the housing 24 and connected to the spring 25; a sliding groove 27 formed on the outer side wall of the base 11; and a slider 28 slidably disposed inside the sliding groove 27 and connected to the locking block 26.
[0036] Specifically, the top of the inclined plate 12 can be designed with a sponge pad to make the patient more comfortable during use.
[0037] When adjusting the tilt angle of the inclined plate 12, simply pull the crossbar 21 out from the base 11. During this pulling process, the adjusting rod 22 will rotate, thus adjusting the angle of the inclined plate 12. Simultaneously, the slot 23 presses against the locking block 26, causing the locking block 26 to retract into the housing 24 and compress the spring 25. This continues until the locking block 26 aligns with the next slot 23. The spring 25 then rebounds, pushing the locking block 26 into the slot 23. Meanwhile, the crossbar 21 continues to move, and the locking block 26 continues to be compressed. This process repeats itself as the crossbar 21 moves. The action continues until the inclined plate 12 is adjusted to the appropriate angle. The locking block 26 engages with the locking slot 23 to prevent the crossbar 21 from retracting into the base 11, thereby stabilizing the adjusting rod 22 and making the inclined plate 12 stable. Finally, the inclined plate 12 is placed against the patient's back to assist the patient in turning over. When it is time to store the device after use, the slider 28 can be pinched and slid inside the slide groove 27, which will cause the locking block 26 to retract into the housing 24 and disengage from the locking slot 23. Then the restriction on the crossbar 21 is released. At this time, the inclined plate 12 and the base 11 are closed. The adjusting rod 22 is rotated to store the device inside the base 11, thus completing the storage process.
[0038] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the slot 23 is fitted against the outer wall of the block 26.
[0039] The design that fits snugly during use reduces friction when squeezing, thus allowing for better compression of the 26-piece retraction block.
[0040] In some embodiments, the adjustment component 2 further includes a lever 281 disposed at one end of the slider 28.
[0041] When in use, the design of the toggle 281 allows for easy pressing, bringing the two sliders 28 closer together.
[0042] In some embodiments, the adjustment component 2 further includes a handle 29 disposed at the top of one end of the crossbar 21.
[0043] The handle 29 is designed for easy gripping and allows both crossbars 21 to be pulled simultaneously.
[0044] In some embodiments, an inspection assembly 3 is provided on the inclined plate 12. The inspection assembly 3 includes: a through groove 31 formed on the outer side wall of the inclined plate 12; a plate body 32 rotatably disposed on the inner side wall of the through groove 31; a positioning hole 33 formed on the inner side wall of the through groove 31; a positioning rod 34 with one end penetrating through the plate body 32 and inserted into the interior of the positioning hole 33; a horizontal plate 35 disposed on one end of the positioning rod 34; and a spring 36 sleeved on the outer side of the positioning rod 34, with both ends connected to the plate body 32 and the horizontal plate 35.
[0045] When it is necessary to examine the patient's back, the horizontal plate 35 can be pulled. At this time, the second spring 36 is stretched, and the positioning rod 34 is moved out from the positioning hole 33, releasing the restriction on the plate 32. Then, by rotating the plate 32, the pressure sores on the patient's back can be examined through the through groove 31.
[0046] In some embodiments, two sets of positioning holes 33 and positioning rods 34 are symmetrically arranged.
[0047] The two-piece design allows for a closer connection and a more secure fixation during use.
[0048] In some embodiments, the inspection component 3 further includes a cone 37 disposed at one end of the positioning rod 34.
[0049] When in use, the pointed end of the cone 37 makes it easier to insert into the positioning hole 33.
[0050] In some embodiments, the inspection component 3 further includes a pull torsion bar 38 disposed at the bottom of the plate 32.
[0051] The design of the pull knob 38 makes it easy to grip and control the rotation of the plate 32.
