Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the medical field, specifically a patient turning aid. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate the turning of patients who need to be turned, a patent application (CN202320212372.5) entitled "A Simple Turning Device" includes a main body with symmetrically arranged leg placement slots at the top. A leg limiting mechanism is symmetrically arranged inside the leg placement slots, and auxiliary turning mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body. This patent enables the patient's legs to be limited after being inserted into the leg placement slots, preventing the legs from detaching from the turning device. However, the applicant has found that before placing the patient's legs in the limiting mechanism, external force (i.e., the person helping the patient turn) is required to lift the legs before placing the turning device under them. Lifting the legs is very inconvenient. Therefore, a patient turning aid needs to be designed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a patient turning assist device to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the patient's legs are placed before the limiting mechanism, and the person helping the patient turn over needs to lift the legs before placing the turning device under the legs, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0005] A patient turning assist device includes a clamping plate and two clamping slots disposed on the top of the clamping plate, the clamping slots being used to clamp the legs; the patient turning assist device further includes:

[0006] A rotating body disposed at the bottom of the clamping plate, the side surface of the rotating body being arc-shaped, and the rotating body comprising:

[0007] A vertical plate fixed at one end to the bottom of a clamping plate and an adjusting plate located in front of the vertical plate. The top of the adjusting plate is hinged to the bottom of the clamping plate. When the adjusting plate is in a state perpendicular to the bottom of the clamping plate, the vertical plate and the adjusting plate are parallel to each other. When the bottom of the adjusting plate contacts the side of the vertical plate, the adjusting plate is tilted in the vertical direction.

[0008] Furthermore, the patient turning aid also includes a drive unit for driving the adjustment plate to rotate around its hinge point with the clamping plate. The drive unit is an air bladder connecting the inner side of the vertical plate and the inner side of the adjustment plate. The air bladder is provided with an air nozzle communicating with its interior for inflation and deflation.

[0009] Furthermore, the patient turning aid also includes a limiting pull rope, one end of which is fixed to the inner side of the vertical plate, and the other end of which is fixed to the inner side of the adjusting plate. When the adjusting plate is in a state perpendicular to the bottom of the clamping plate, the limiting pull rope is taut.

[0010] Furthermore, the vertical plate is also equipped with a magnetic strip inside, which is used to generate an attractive force on the bottom of the adjustment plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the clamping plate, the vertical plate, and the adjusting plate are all provided with a flexible buffer layer.

[0012] Furthermore, both ends of the clamping plate are provided with fixing straps, one end of which is fixed to the clamping plate.

[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the clamping plate are provided with limiting straps, one end of which is fixed to the clamping plate, and the fixing point of the limiting strap and the clamping plate is located above the fixing point of the fixing strap and the clamping plate.

[0014] Furthermore, both the inner and outer sides of the fixing strap and the inner and outer sides of the limiting strap are provided with Velcro.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Using this device, before placing the patient turning aid on the bed under the patient's legs, the bottom of the adjusting plate contacts the side of the vertical plate, thus tilting the adjusting plate and creating an inclined plane on the rotating body. After this, the aid is placed on the bed to the side of the patient, with the inclined plane facing the patient's legs. Then, an external force is applied to the patient turning aid, causing it to move towards the patient's legs. Once the inclined plane contacts the patient's legs, the device is pushed by the external force... By using an inclined plane to force the patient's legs upward, the patient turning aid is eventually moved so that the patient's legs are facing downward. It should be noted that existing turning aids require the person helping the patient to hold the patient's legs and apply an upward force to lift the patient's legs while simultaneously placing the turning aid under the patient's legs. However, this device only requires applying external force to the turning aid from one side to move it under the patient's legs. Therefore, the person helping the patient to turn can easily place the patient turning aid under the patient's legs. Attached Figure Description

[0021] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, this utility model includes: a patient turning assist device, comprising a clamping plate 1 and two clamping grooves 3 disposed on the top of the clamping plate 1, the clamping grooves 3 being used to clamp the legs; the patient turning assist device further includes:

[0022] A rotating body is disposed at the bottom of the clamping plate 1. The side surface of the rotating body is arc-shaped, and the rotating body includes:

[0023] A vertical plate 4 is fixed to the bottom of the clamping plate 1 at one end, and an adjusting plate 2 is located in front of the vertical plate 4. The top of the adjusting plate 2 is hinged to the bottom of the clamping plate 1. When the adjusting plate 2 is in a state perpendicular to the bottom of the clamping plate 1, the vertical plate 4 and the adjusting plate 2 are parallel to each other. When the bottom of the adjusting plate 2 contacts the side of the vertical plate 4, the adjusting plate 2 is tilted in the vertical direction.

[0024] In this embodiment, before placing the patient turning aid on the bed under the patient's legs, the bottom of the adjusting plate 2 is brought into contact with the side of the vertical plate 4, thus tilting the adjusting plate 2 and creating an inclined plane. After this, the aid is placed on the bed on one side of the patient, with the inclined plane facing the patient's legs. An external force is then applied to the patient turning aid, causing it to move towards the patient's legs. Once the inclined plane contacts the patient's legs, the external force forces the patient's legs upwards, ultimately causing the patient turning aid to move until the patient's legs are facing downwards. It should be noted that existing turning aids require the person assisting the patient to hold the patient's legs and apply force. Applying an upward force lifts the patient's legs while simultaneously positioning the turning aid under the patient's legs. This device, however, only requires applying external force from one side to move the turning aid under the patient's legs. Therefore, the person assisting with turning the patient can easily place the turning aid under the patient's legs. This is especially helpful for heavier patients whose legs are heavy, making it difficult for one person to lift both legs at once. Using this device significantly reduces workload. After placing the turning aid under the legs, its position can be adjusted until the clamping groove 3 is parallel to the corresponding patient's leg. At this point, using the bottom of the rotating body as a support point, the clamping plate 1 is lifted, allowing the patient's legs to enter the clamping groove 3. The resulting shape is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, once completed, a steering force can be applied to the rotating body, and simultaneously a steering force in the same direction can be applied to the patient's body, ultimately causing the rotating body to rotate 90 degrees, thus completing the turning operation. The patient's current position is as follows... Figure 4 As shown.

[0025] As one implementation method, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the patient turning aid also includes a drive unit for driving the adjustment plate 2 to rotate around its hinge point with the clamping plate 1. The drive unit is an airbag 5 connecting the inner side of the vertical plate 4 and the inner side of the adjustment plate 2. The airbag 5 has an air nozzle communicating with its interior. The air nozzle is used for inflation and deflation. When the device is located under the patient's legs, the airbag 5 is inflated, making the adjustment plate 2 parallel to the vertical plate 4. At this time, the airbag 5 is filled with gas, ensuring the stability of the adjustment plate 2. Thus, during the rotation of the rotating body 90 degrees, the adjustment plate 2 and the vertical plate 4 cooperate with each other to ensure the stability during rotation. The airbag 5 is inflated by connecting the inflation device to the air nozzle. By inflating the air nozzle, the purpose of inflating the airbag 5 is completed. The inflation device can be an air pump. After the airbag 5 is released by the air nozzle, after the patient turning aid is placed on the bed, the bottom of the adjustment plate 2 will contact the inner side of the vertical plate 4 under the action of gravity.

[0026] In addition, to better control the adjustment plate 2, as one implementation method, Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the patient turning aid also includes a limiting rope 9. One end of the limiting rope 9 is fixed to the inner side of the vertical plate 4, and the other end of the limiting rope 9 is fixed to the inner side of the adjusting plate 2. When the adjusting plate 2 is in a state perpendicular to the bottom of the clamping plate 1, the limiting rope 9 is taut.

[0027] In this embodiment, during the inflation process of the airbag 5, when the limiting rope 9 is tightened and the surface adjustment plate 2 is parallel to the vertical plate 4, a certain amount of gas can be injected into the airbag 5. The pressure inside the airbag 5 ensures the stability of the adjustment plate 2.

[0028] As one implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vertical plate 4 is also equipped with a magnetic strip 6 inside. The magnetic strip 6 is used to generate an attractive force on the bottom of the adjustment plate 2. When the bottom of the adjustment plate 2 contacts the inner side of the vertical plate 4, the attraction force of the magnet on the adjustment plate 2 ensures the stability of the adjustment plate 2 at this time. When the airbag 5 is re-inflated, when the pressure inside the airbag 5 is greater than the magnetic force, the adjustment plate 2 can be disengaged from the magnetic force.

[0029] Ideally, the outer surfaces of the clamping plate 1, the vertical plate 4, and the adjusting plate 2 should all be provided with a flexible buffer layer to ensure comfort.

[0030] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, both ends of the clamping plate 1 are provided with fixing straps 7. One end of the fixing strap 7 is fixed to the clamping plate 1. The fixing strap 7 is used to fix the patient to the bed after turning over, so as to maintain the patient's position after turning over.

[0031] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 As shown, both ends of the clamping plate 1 are provided with limiting straps 8. One end of the limiting strap 8 is fixed to the clamping plate 1, and the fixing point of the limiting strap 8 and the clamping plate 1 is located above the fixing point of the fixing strap 7 and the clamping plate 1. When the clamping groove 3 is placed in the patient's leg, the opening of the clamping groove 3 is sealed by the limiting strap 8 to prevent the patient's leg from detaching from the clamping groove 3 due to voluntary movement.

[0032] In addition, Velcro is provided on the inner and outer sides of the fixing strap 7 and the inner and outer sides of the limiting strap 8 to facilitate the fixing of the fixing strap 7 and the limiting strap 8.

[0033] The above provides a detailed description of a patient turning aid provided in the embodiments of this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the technical solutions and core ideas of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
