Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turning pad technology, specifically a turning pad for clinical nursing. Background Technology
[0002] Patients who are bedridden for a long time or have limited mobility need to lie in bed frequently. In order to avoid pressure sores, patients need to frequently perform local body movements (such as changing positions appropriately). Since patients cannot control their bodies on their own, they need medical staff or family members to help them turn over.
[0003] The design of the turning pad promotes the exchange of substances between tissue cells and interstitial fluid in the pressure areas of the body, reduces the pressure and friction of the tissues in the pressure areas, and thus promotes blood circulation. Using the turning pad can help patients change positions, making it easier for caregivers to clean the patient's body, keep the skin clean and dry, and further prevent the occurrence of pressure sores.
[0004] When using a turning mat, the angle of turning needs to be adjusted according to the patient's physical condition to avoid secondary injury. Most existing adjustable turning mats adjust the angle by rotating a screw. During rotation, the patient's body is mostly in pressure contact with the mat, making it difficult to rotate the screw and resulting in strenuous angle adjustment. Furthermore, most turning mats lack elastic compensation after angle adjustment, preventing patients from making minor adjustments when feeling uncomfortable, leading to low comfort. In cold weather, the mat's low temperature upon contact with the patient can easily cause them to catch a chill. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a clinical nursing turning mat to address the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a turning mat for clinical nursing. This solves the problem that most existing adjustable turning mats adjust the angle by rotating a screw. During rotation, the patient's body is mostly in contact with the mat, making it difficult to rotate the screw under pressure, resulting in strenuous angle adjustment. Furthermore, most turning mats lack elastic compensation after angle adjustment, preventing patients from making minor adjustments when feeling discomfort, leading to low comfort. Additionally, in cold weather, the mat's low temperature upon contact with the patient can easily cause them to catch a cold.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a turning pad for clinical nursing, comprising a base plate and a top plate, the top plate being disposed above the base plate, an elastic water bladder being disposed between the base plate and the top plate, a retaining strip being installed on the bottom side of the elastic water bladder, retaining grooves being provided at both ends of the upper side of the base plate, a water inlet pipe being installed on the front side of the elastic water bladder, a water valve being installed on the water inlet pipe, a miniature water pump being connected to the other end of the water inlet pipe, and a water pumping hose being connected to the other end of the miniature water pump.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the base plate is rotatably connected to a pressure rod, which allows the base plate and top plate to be inserted toward the side of the patient that contacts the bed.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom side of the elastic water bladder is slidably engaged with the slot on the bottom plate by a locking strip, and since the locking strip is set on both sides of the bottom, the bottom side of the elastic water bladder will not deform after contacting the bottom plate.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the bottom plate and the top plate are hinged. When the micro water pump delivers warm water to the elastic water bladder through the inlet pipe, the elastic water bladder deforms after the warm water enters, thereby lifting the top plate. After being squeezed by the deformed elastic water bladder, the top plate is tilted and lifted up, thereby assisting the patient in turning over.
[0012] Preferably, positioning blocks are installed on both sides of the top plate, and positioning grooves are opened on both sides of the bottom plate. The positioning blocks are positioned and inserted into the positioning grooves, so that the elastic water bag can be protected when the equipment is not in use, and the elastic water bag is prevented from being worn due to the squeezing between the bottom plate and the top plate.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a turning mat for clinical nursing, which has the following features:
[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] The design involves pushing the base and top plates under the patient, preparing warm water at a suitable temperature, inserting a water suction hose into the water, and then opening the water valve. A miniature water pump delivers warm water through the inlet pipe into the water bladder. Upon the entry of the warm water, the water bladder deforms, lifting the top plate. Because one end of the top plate is hinged to one end of the base plate, the top plate tilts upwards after being compressed by the deformed water bladder, thus assisting in turning the patient. This structure avoids the problem of excessive force and difficulty in adjusting the angle. Furthermore, the support formed by the water and the elastic water bladder is elastic. When the patient is uncomfortable and needs to adjust their position, the elastic water bladder provides some compensation for the angle of the top plate, avoiding the problem of the traditional fixed angle restricting the patient's ability to make minor adjustments. After the angle is suitable, the water valve and miniature water pump are closed, and the warm water stored in the water bladder conducts heat to the top plate, preventing the patient from catching a cold in cold weather due to the low temperature of the turning pad upon contact.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution: a turning mat for clinical nursing. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2The device includes a base plate 1 and a top plate 2. The top plate 2 is positioned above the base plate 1. An elastic water bladder 3 is positioned between the base plate 1 and the top plate 2. A retaining strip 301 is installed on the bottom side of the elastic water bladder 3. The upper side of the base plate 1 has slots 101 at both ends. The bottom side of the elastic water bladder 3 is slidably engaged with the slots 101 on the base plate 1 through the retaining strip 301. Since the retaining strip 301 is positioned on both sides of the bottom, the bottom side of the elastic water bladder 3 will not deform after contacting the base plate 1. A water inlet pipe 4 is installed on the front side of the elastic water bladder 3. A water valve 5 is installed on the water inlet pipe 4. The other end of the water inlet pipe 4 is connected to a micro water pump 6. The other end of the micro water pump 6 is connected to a water suction hose 7.
[0023] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 One end of the base plate 1 is rotatably connected to a pressure rod 8. The pressure rod 8 allows the base plate 1 and the top plate 2 to be inserted toward the side of the patient that is in contact with the bed. One end of the base plate 1 and the top plate 2 are hinged. When the micro water pump 6 delivers warm water to the elastic water bag 3 through the water inlet pipe 4, the elastic water bag 3 deforms after the warm water enters, thereby lifting the top plate 2. The top plate 2 is tilted and lifted after being squeezed by the deformed elastic water bag 3, thus assisting the patient in turning over. Positioning blocks 201 are installed on both sides of the top plate 2, and positioning grooves 102 are opened on both sides of the base plate 1. The positioning blocks 201 are positioned and inserted into the positioning grooves 102, so that the elastic water bag 3 can be protected when the equipment is not in use, avoiding the wear of the elastic water bag 3 caused by the squeezing between the base plate 1 and the top plate 2.
[0024] The turning pad in this utility model consists of a base plate 1 and a top plate 2. An elastic water bladder 3 is provided between the base plate 1 and the top plate 2. A retaining strip 301 is installed at the bottom of the elastic water bladder 3. The elastic water bladder 3 is elastic. The elastic water bladder 3 is inserted into the retaining groove 101 on the base plate 1 through the retaining strip 301. Since the retaining strip 301 is located on both sides of the bottom, the bottom side of the elastic water bladder 3 will not deform after contacting the base plate 1.
[0025] A pressure rod 8 is connected to one end of the base plate 1. The base plate 1 and the top plate 2 are inserted into the side of the bed where the patient is in contact with the patient through the pressure rod 8. Then, warm water of suitable temperature is prepared, and the water suction hose 7 is inserted into the warm water. Then, the water valve 5 on the water inlet pipe 4 connected to one side of the elastic water bag 3 is opened. Then, the micro water pump 6 is started, and the micro water pump 6 delivers warm water to the elastic water bag 3 through the water inlet pipe 4. The elastic water bag 3 deforms after the warm water enters, thereby lifting the top plate 2. Since one end of the top plate 2 is hinged to one end of the base plate 1, the top plate 2 is tilted and lifted after being squeezed by the deformed elastic water bag 3, thereby assisting the patient to turn over. This structure does not have the problem of large force and difficult adjustment when adjusting the angle.
[0026] And after the angle is appropriate, the water valve 5 and the micro water pump 6 are turned off. Warm water is stored in the elastic water bag 3, which conducts heat to the top plate 2, thus avoiding the problem that the patient will catch a cold when the turning pad is in contact with the patient in cold weather.
[0027] Furthermore, the support formed by water and the elastic water bladder 3 is elastic. When the patient is uncomfortable and needs to adjust their body, the support of the elastic water bladder 3 allows the angle of the top plate 2 to have a certain degree of compensation, avoiding the problem that the patient is restricted from making micro-adjustments after the angle is fixed in the traditional way.
