Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a turning board for assisting bedridden patients in turning over, belonging to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of medical care, assisting patients in turning over has always been an important research topic. Traditional manual turning methods not only consume the time and energy of caregivers, but are also prone to causing pain to patients due to improper operation. Furthermore, existing turning assistance techniques also have many problems in practical application.
[0003] From a mechanical perspective, while bed designs enable turning over, they suffer from space requirements and high equipment costs. For example, some hospital beds use motors to drive the bed board to tilt and rotate, which assists patients in turning over, but requires a large space and complex equipment. While assisted turning frames can lift and roll patients from one side to the other, they require precise patient fixation and precise operation, which can easily cause discomfort and may rub against the patient's skin during the turning process.
[0004] Regarding inflatable turning devices, while air mattresses are relatively simple to use, they suffer from uneven pressure distribution, causing localized pressure on the patient's body and affecting comfort. Airbag-type turning devices are easy to operate, but the airbags have poor sealing and stability, making them prone to leakage and affecting the turning effect.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a turning board that takes up little space, is low in cost, saves time and effort, has a good turning effect, and is less likely to cause discomfort or injury to the patient. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a turning board for assisting bedridden patients in turning over, which automates and facilitates patient turning, reduces the burden on caregivers, and improves the patient's quality of life. Unlike traditional turning beds, which are bulky and difficult to carry, this turning board is adaptable to various types of beds.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A turning board for assisting bedridden patients in turning over includes a base frame. The base frame has at least one partition to divide the interior into multiple turning zones. Each turning zone is filled with an inflatable pad. A turning pad is positioned above the turning zone, corresponding to the inflatable pad. A folding component is provided between the inflatable pad and the turning pad. The folding component expands and supports the inflatable pad, thereby driving the turning pad to bend and form two inclined surfaces with an included angle. An inflation component is provided on the side wall of the base frame to independently inflate the multiple inflatable pads.
[0009] Preferably, the folding assembly includes an inner support plate and an outer support plate. The inner support plate is hinged to the upper surface of the bottom frame located at the middle partition. The outer support plate is hinged to the side of the inner support plate away from the middle partition via a hinge shaft. The side of the outer support plate away from the inner support plate is movably mounted on the upper surface of the bottom frame. The inner and outer support plates can form a triangular support structure with the upper surface of the bottom frame through the inflatable cushion. The flipping pads located on both sides of the hinge shaft are fixedly connected to the inner and outer support plates, respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, the inflatable pad includes a flat pad portion and a supporting pad portion. The flat pad portion is embedded in the turning area, and the supporting pad portion is disposed on the upper surface of the flat pad portion near the middle partition. The supporting pad portion has an isosceles triangular structure, with the base of the triangle of the supporting pad portion connected to the flat pad portion. The bisector of the vertex angle of the isosceles triangular structure of the supporting pad portion is directly opposite to and perpendicular to the axis of the hinge axis.
[0011] Furthermore, inner support rods are provided on both sides of the inner support plate, and the inner support plate is hinged to the bottom frame and the outer support plate through the inner support rods. Outer support rods are provided on both sides of the outer support plate, and the outer support plate is hinged to the inner support rods through the outer support rods.
[0012] Furthermore, the upper surface of the bottom frame on the side for the outer support plate to move is provided with locking teeth. The locking teeth have multiple sets of grooves that engage with the end of the outer support rod. When the inner support plate is tilted by the push, the end of the outer support rod slides on the locking teeth toward the direction of the middle partition. After the push is completed, the outer support rod is locked in the groove corresponding to the locking teeth.
[0013] Preferably, the inflatable component includes a plurality of manually inflatable balls, which are disposed on the side wall of the bottom frame corresponding to the inflatable pad.
[0014] Preferably, the inflator is an electric inflator, and the inflator is independently connected to multiple inflatable pads through multiple pipes. The inflator has multiple independently controlled inflation / deflation switches.
[0015] The turning board for assisting bedridden patients in turning over provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. This utility model relates to a turning board for assisting bedridden patients in turning over. It features foldable inner and outer support rods at the end of the bottom frame. When the inner support rod is tilted and raised, the outer support rod engages with locking teeth on the bottom frame, securing the outer support rod and providing additional support to the inner support rod. This reduces the pressure of the patient's body on the inflatable mattress, increasing its lifespan. After the patient is raised, deflating the mattress does not affect the inner support rod's ability to continue shaping the patient. Once the turning is complete, the inflatable mattress is fully deflated, and the outer support rod can be manually pulled out of the locking teeth immediately, quickly restoring the mattress to its flatness and improving efficiency.
[0017] 2. The turning board for assisting bedridden patients in turning over, through automated turning, significantly improves the efficiency of turning bedridden patients and reduces the burden on nursing staff.
[0018] 3. The turning board of this utility model for assisting bedridden patients in turning over has a turning pad covered with a soft material on its surface, and the turning process is stable, effectively reducing the patient's discomfort during the turning process.
[0019] 4. The turning board for assisting bedridden patients in turning over in this utility model uses locking teeth as a safety device for the turning component, which ensures the stability and safety of the turning board during the turning process and avoids injury to the patient due to improper operation.
[0020] 5. The turning board for assisting bedridden patients to turn over in this utility model can adapt to the needs of patients with different heights, weights and conditions, thus improving the versatility and practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] Reference Figures 1-3 A turning board for assisting bedridden patients in turning over includes a base frame 1. At least one partition 2 is welded and fixed inside the base frame 1 to divide the interior of the base frame 1 into multiple turning areas. Each turning area is filled with an inflatable pad 3. A turning pad 4 is installed above the turning area corresponding to the inflatable pad 3. A folding component 5 is installed between the inflatable pad 3 and the turning pad 4. The folding component 5 expands and supports the inflatable pad 3, thereby driving the turning pad 4 to bend into two inclined surfaces with an included angle, thereby helping the patient lying on the turning pad 4 to turn to the side and assisting the patient in turning over. An inflatable component 7 is installed on the side wall of the base frame 1 to independently inflate the multiple inflatable pads 3. In a configurable embodiment, the base frame 1 can be of any shape. In this embodiment, the base frame 1 is preferably a rectangular frame made of hollow steel pipe. The partition 2 is preferably one, dividing the interior of the base frame 1 into two turning areas, left and right. The two sets of turning pads 4 are symmetrically arranged with the partition 2 as the center line.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-3The folding assembly 5 includes an inner support plate 51 and an outer support plate 53. The inner support plate 51 is welded and fixed between two inner support rods 52. The two inner support rods 52 are respectively hinged and installed on the upper surface of the bottom frame 1 located at the middle partition 2, thereby driving the rotation of the inner support plate 51. The outer support plate 53 is welded and fixed between two outer support rods 54. The two outer support rods 54 are hinged and installed at the end of the inner support rod 52 away from the middle partition 2 through a hinge shaft. The outer support plate 53 and the outer support rods 54 are movably set on the side away from the inner support plate 51. On the upper surface of the bottom frame 1, the inner support plate 51 and the outer support plate 53 can be supported by the air cushion 3 to form a triangular support structure with the upper surface of the bottom frame 1. The turning pad 4 is located on both sides of the hinge axis and is respectively bonded and fixed to the inner support plate 51 and the outer support plate 53. In order to increase the patient's comfort, the surface of the turning pad 4 is made of skin-friendly material, such as silicone, and the inside of the turning pad 4 is made of flexible material, such as rubber. In this embodiment, the inner support plate 51 and the outer support plate 53 are both solid plates. The hinge of the rod is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0031] Furthermore, the inflatable cushion 3 includes an integrally formed and interconnected flat cushion portion 31 and a support cushion portion 32. The flat cushion portion 31 is embedded in the turning area, and the support cushion portion 32 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the flat cushion portion 31 near the middle partition plate 2. The support cushion portion 32 has an isosceles triangular structure, and the base of the triangle of the support cushion portion 32 is connected to the flat cushion portion 31. The bisector of the apex angle of the isosceles triangular structure of the support cushion portion 32 is directly opposite to and perpendicular to the axis of the hinge axis. When the flat cushion portion 31 is not inflated, it has a rectangular plate structure, and its height is less than the height of the bottom frame 1. The support cushion portion 32 is in a flat state. The bottom frame 1, the inner support rod 52, and the outer support rod 54 protect the inflatable cushion 3.
[0032] When the air cushion 3 is inflated, the support pad 32 gradually expands and pushes upward to extend from the bottom frame 1, causing the inner support plate 51 and the inner support rod 52 to rotate in a direction away from the bottom frame 1. At this time, the outer support rod 54 and the inner support rod 52 hinged end move upward in sync, thereby dragging the other end of the outer support rod 54 to slide on the upper surface of the bottom frame 1. The isosceles triangular support pad 32 limits the sliding of the outer support rod 54 and the outer support plate 53 and ensures the stability of the sliding while driving the inner support rod 52 and the inner support plate 51 to rotate. The tilt angle of the inner support rod 52 and the inner support plate 51 changes according to the volume of air in the air cushion 3.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3On the upper surface of the side of the bottom frame 1 where the outer support plate 53 can move, there is a locking tooth 6. The locking tooth 6 is composed of multiple sets of tooth grooves that engage with the ends of the outer support rod 54. When the inner support plate 51 is tilted by the support, the ends of the outer support rod 54 slide towards the middle partition 2 on the locking tooth 6. After the inner support plate 51 is pushed to the required angle, the outer support rod 54 is locked in the corresponding tooth groove on the locking tooth 6, limiting the support angle. It is also not affected by the deflation of the air cushion 3, ensuring the stability and safety of the support. After the patient is turned over, the medical staff only need to manually lift the outer support rod 54 and then lay it flat, which is convenient and quick to use.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 The inflatable component 7 includes multiple manual inflatable balls, which are correspondingly set on the side wall of the connecting bottom frame 1. Medical staff can use the manual inflatable balls corresponding to the inflatable pad 3 to press and inflate the pad according to the turning position.
[0035] Example 2:
[0036] Reference Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the inflator 7 is an electric inflator. The inflator 7 and the air pad 3 are independently connected through multiple pipes. The inflator 7 has multiple independently controlled inflation and deflation switches. When turning over is required, medical staff only need to press the switch to drive the inflation and deflation of the corresponding air pad 3, which is more time-saving and labor-saving. In this embodiment, the electric inflator is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model in any form or substance. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and additions without departing from this utility model, and these improvements and additions should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model. Any modifications, alterations, and equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model using the disclosed technical content are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any modifications, alterations, and evolutions made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
