Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of elderly patient care technology, and more specifically, it relates to an elderly patient turning care pad. Background Technology

[0002] Geriatric diseases, also known as age-related illnesses, refer to age-related diseases that occur in people during old age and have their own unique characteristics. As people enter old age, the structure of human tissues further ages, the functions of various organs gradually become impaired, the body's resistance gradually weakens, activity levels decrease, and coordination functions are lost.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: Most current elderly patient turning care pads have a baffle installed on one side, which can protect the patient when turning over. However, since the height of the baffle is fixed, and patients have different body sizes, some larger patients or those with a strong need to turn over are very likely to fall accidentally during the turning process, which cannot meet the patient's comfort needs.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings to provide a nursing pad for elderly patients to turn over, in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose and efficacy of this utility model's assisted turning and care mat for elderly patients are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0006] A nursing pad for assisting elderly patients to turn over includes a nursing pad body. A placement groove is formed on one side of the top of the nursing pad body. A baffle is installed inside the placement groove. The baffle is connected to the nursing pad body via a hinge. A groove is formed on the top of the baffle. A bottom plate is installed inside the baffle. A top plate is installed on one side of the bottom plate. One side of the top plate passes through the groove and extends to the outside. The top plate matches the groove. A lifting assembly is installed between the top plate and the baffle. Several protruding points are provided on the side of the nursing pad body away from the baffle.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a set of through slots on both sides of the baffle. An installation block is installed inside the through slot. One side of the installation block is connected to the base plate. A square slot is opened on one side of the installation block. A movable slot is provided on one side of the square slot. A limit block is movably connected to one side of the movable slot. A cylinder is installed on one side of the limit block. A spring is fitted on the surface of the cylinder. A square block is installed at one end of the cylinder. An adjusting block is connected to one side of the square block. The installation block matches the through slot.

[0008] Furthermore, a set of locking blocks is installed on one side of the adjusting block, and several locking slots are provided on both sides of the through groove, with the locking blocks matching the locking slots.

[0009] Furthermore, a magnet is provided on one side of the placement slot, and a magnet is provided on one side of the baffle, with the magnet being magnetically connected to the magnet.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the baffle is provided with an installation groove, and a carrying strap is installed inside the placement groove.

[0011] Furthermore, straps are installed on both sides of the nursing pad body.

[0012] Furthermore, the baffle and the top plate are made of rubber.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] By using a combination of through slots, mounting blocks, square slots, movable slots, limiting blocks, cylinders, springs, square blocks, adjusting blocks, locking blocks, and locking slots, when the height of the baffle needs to be adjusted according to the patient's body shape, for some larger patients, medical staff can pull a set of adjusting blocks to both sides. The adjusting blocks will move a set of locking blocks to one side, causing the locking blocks to disengage from the locking slots. Then, the adjusting blocks can slide in the through slots, allowing the top plate to be removed from the baffle. After adjusting the position of the top plate according to the patient's body shape and selecting the corresponding locking slot, the adjusting blocks are released. Under the action of the springs, the locking blocks are driven into the locking slots, thus fixing the top plate. Through this design, medical staff can easily adjust the position of the top plate according to the patient's body shape, avoiding falls during turning due to unsuitable baffle height.

[0015] The use of raised points increases the friction between the nursing pad and the bed surface, effectively preventing the pad from sliding or shifting during use and ensuring that the pad remains stable when the patient turns over. Attached Figure Description

A movable slot 11 is formed on one side of the square slot 10. A limit block 12 is movably connected to one side of the movable slot 11. A cylinder 13 is installed on one side of the limit block 12. A spring 14 is fitted onto the surface of the cylinder 13. A square block 15 is installed at one end of the cylinder 13. An adjusting block 16 is connected to one side of the square block 15. The installation block 9 matches the through slot 8. The assembly is connected via the through slot 8, installation block 9, square slot 10, movable slot 11, limit block 12, cylinder 13, spring 14, square block 15, adjusting block 16, and locking block. The combined use of adjustment blocks 17 and slots 18 allows for adjustments to the height of the baffle 3 based on the patient's body size. For larger patients, medical staff can pull a set of adjustment blocks 16 to the sides. The adjustment blocks 16 move a set of locking blocks 17 to one side, disengaging the locking blocks 17 from the slots 18. Then, the adjustment blocks 16 slide within the through grooves 8, allowing the top plate 6 to be removed from the baffle 3. After adjusting the position of the top plate 6 according to the patient's body size and selecting the corresponding slots 18, the adjustment blocks 16 are released. Under the action of the spring 14, the locking blocks 17 are engaged in the slots 18, thus securing the top plate 6. This design allows medical staff to easily adjust the position of the top plate 6 according to the patient's body size, preventing falls during turning due to unsuitable baffle 3 height.

[0032] The adjusting block 16 has a set of locking blocks 17 installed on one side, and the through slot 8 has several slots 18 on both sides, with the locking blocks 17 matching the slots 18.

[0033] The placement slot 2 is provided with a magnet 19 on one side and a magnet 20 on one side of the baffle 3. The magnet 19 and the magnet 20 are magnetically connected. By setting the magnet 19 and the magnet 20, the baffle 3 in the placement slot 2 can be fixed.

[0034] The baffle 3 has an installation groove 21 on its top, and a carrying strap 22 is installed inside the placement groove 2. The carrying strap 22 makes it easy to remove the baffle 3 from the placement groove 2.

[0035] The nursing pad body 1 is equipped with straps 23 on both sides.

[0036] The baffle 3 and the top plate 6 are made of rubber.

[0037] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0038] In the process of using this utility model, first confirm the integrity of the nursing pad body 1. When using the elderly patient turning nursing pad, use the carrying strap 22 to remove the baffle 3 from the placement slot 2. Then, adjust the height of the baffle 3 according to the patient's body size. For some larger patients, medical staff pull a set of adjusting blocks 16 to both sides. The adjusting blocks 16 drive a set of locking blocks 17 to move to one side, causing the locking blocks 17 to disengage from the locking slot 18. Then, slide the adjusting blocks 16 in the through slot 8, thereby removing the top plate 6 from the baffle 3. Adjust the position of the top plate 6 according to the patient's body size, select the corresponding locking slot 18, release the adjusting blocks 16, and under the action of the spring 14, drive the locking blocks 17 to engage with the locking slot 18, thus fixing the top plate 6. The baffle 3 and the top plate 6 are then in place. The pad protects the patient after turning over, improving the safety of the nursing pad body 1. Since the baffle 3 and top plate 6 are made of rubber, they have a certain degree of softness. When the patient is lying down, the top plate 6 can be tucked into the baffle 3, and then the baffle 3 can be placed in the placement slot 2. Magnets 19 and 20 can fix the baffle 3 in the placement slot 2. Simultaneously, the raised points 7 on the back of the nursing pad body 1 increase the friction between the nursing pad body 1 and the bed surface, effectively preventing the pad from sliding or shifting during use, ensuring the pad remains stable when the patient turns over. Through this design, medical staff can easily adjust the position of the top plate 6 according to the patient's body shape, avoiding falls during turning due to unsuitable baffle 3 height.
