Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthopedic nursing technology, and in particular to an auxiliary elevation frame. Background Technology

[0002] In orthopedic nursing, leg elevators are commonly used assistive devices to help patients reduce swelling, promote blood circulation, and improve patient comfort. However, existing leg elevators suffer from limited functionality and adaptability, failing to meet diverse clinical needs and different usage scenarios. For example, some elevators are equipped with casters for easy movement, but this can lead to instability when movement is not required; conversely, those prioritizing stability often sacrifice mobility, causing inconvenience during routine nursing care. Furthermore, traditional leg elevators are typically fixed to the bedside or floor, and once installed, they are difficult to quickly disassemble or reinstall in other locations as needed, failing to achieve multi-purpose functionality. These limitations not only restrict the application range of the equipment but also affect nursing efficiency and patient comfort. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an auxiliary lifting frame to solve the technical problems of the traditional lifting frame having single function and poor adaptability.

[0004] This utility model provides an auxiliary lifting frame, including:

[0028] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the auxiliary lifting frame includes: a soft pad 1, a frame body 2, and a support assembly; the frame body 2 has an upper end and a lower end, the upper end of the frame body 2 is configured with a groove structure 201 to accommodate the soft pad 1 and has a supporting state for supporting the soft pad 1, and its lower end is provided with a connector 203; the support assembly includes a first support member 3 and a second support member 4, the connector 203 is selectively assembled to the first support member 3 or the second support member 4, the connector 203 on the first support member 3 is adapted to slide with a first support surface in the installation environment, and the connector 203 on the second support member 4 is adapted to be relatively stationary with a second support surface in the installation environment, so that the frame body 2 is held in the supporting state.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, a groove structure 201 is formed at the upper end of the frame 2, with the groove opening facing upwards to accommodate the cushion 1. For example... Figures 1-3As shown, the groove structure 201 in this embodiment can conform to the soft pad 1, allowing the soft pad 1 to better fit the inner wall of the groove structure 201. Simultaneously, multiple anti-slip protrusions can be added to its inner wall for anti-slip purposes. The soft pad 1 and the groove structure 201 are two independent objects that can be used individually or in combination. For example, placing the soft pad 1 directly on the bed can support the legs, suitable for lying flat. Furthermore, the soft pad 1, when used alone, is easy to clean and disinfect. Alternatively, the groove structure 201, when used alone, can also support the legs, i.e., it can be used as temporary support (e.g., for short-term care). Placing the soft pad 1 on the groove structure 201 allows for combined use. The groove structure 201, made of a rigid material, improves the stability and support of the soft pad 1; simultaneously, the legs do not directly contact the groove structure 201 via the soft pad 1, enhancing comfort.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, the lower end of the frame 2 is provided with a connector 203, which allows the frame 2 to be installed on the first support member 3 or the second support member 4, making the lifting frame suitable for two different installation environments. Specifically, when the connector 203 is assembled with the first support member 3, the first support member 3 is adapted to slide and engage with the first support surface in the installation environment; that is, the first support surface in the installation environment is the ground. After the connector 203 is connected to the first support member 3, it can be used to support the upper end of the frame 2 and the soft pad 1, which is convenient for supporting the affected leg. On the other hand, it can slide relative to the ground, which is convenient for moving the affected leg along with the affected leg (e.g., when sitting in a wheelchair, the affected leg needs to be raised and moved with the wheelchair; or, during care, the first support member 3 can be used to swing the entire lifting frame). Another installation environment is on a bed. When the connector 203 is assembled with the second support 4, the second support 4 is adapted to be relatively stationary with respect to the second support surface in the installation environment. That is, the entire lifting frame is fixed to the side of the bed by the second support 4, so that the frame 2 and the soft pad 1 are raised as a whole, without the need to use additional auxiliary lifting pads (such as quilts), thus improving the stability of the soft pad 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, by assembling the connector 203 at the lower end of the frame 2 to the first support member 3 or the second support member 4, the elevated frame can adapt to two different installation environments: the ground and the bed. This greatly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the elevated frame, meeting different treatment and nursing needs. It satisfies both dynamic and static support requirements. The first support member 3 allows the elevated frame to slide on the ground, suitable for situations requiring movement or position adjustment (such as rehabilitation training, wheelchair use, etc.); while the second support member 4 ensures that the elevated frame remains relatively stationary on the bed, providing stable support for the patient.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the first support member 3 includes: a first sleeve 301 and a plurality of pulleys 302; the first sleeve 301 is detachably connected to the connector 203; the plurality of pulleys 302 are spaced apart along the circumferential surface of the first sleeve 301, and each pulley 302 is connected to the first sleeve 301 by a frame. Specifically, in order to enable the first support member 3 to slide relative to the ground, this embodiment defines the first support member 3 as including the first sleeve 301 and a plurality of pulleys 302. The first sleeve 301 is detachably connected to the connector 203 for easy assembly and disassembly as needed. The plurality of pulleys 302 are installed on the circumferential surface of the first sleeve 301 by a plurality of frames so that they can slide relative to the ground under the action of external force. Of course, in order to balance the force on each pulley 302, the plurality of pulleys 302 are arranged in a circular array along the circumferential surface of the first sleeve 301. And to avoid unnecessary sliding when using the first support member 3, in other embodiments, the pulleys 302 are pulleys with brakes.

[0035] For example, 1. Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the connector 203 is threadedly connected to the first sleeve 301. Specifically, to achieve a detachable connection between the connector 203 and the first sleeve 301, this embodiment uses an internal thread structure on one and an external thread structure on the other. The interaction of the internal and external threads allows the connection to be made or broken by rotating the corresponding parts. Furthermore, the threaded connection method can also change the total length of the connector 203 and the first connecting sleeve, facilitating adjustment of the height of the lifting frame and improving its applicability.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the second support member 4 includes a second sleeve 401 and a locking clip 402; the second sleeve 401 is detachably connected to the connector 203; the locking clip 402 is disposed on the second sleeve 401 and has a locking opening 403 for embedding the second support surface into the locking opening 403. Specifically, the frame 2 can be fixed to the bed railing by the second support member 4, so the second support member 4 in this embodiment includes the second sleeve 401 and the locking clip 402. Similarly, the second sleeve 401 and the connector 203 are detachably connected, which facilitates the selection of a suitable support member for assembly; furthermore, the locking opening 403 formed by the locking clip 402 can be inserted into the bed railing and remain relatively stationary with respect to the bed railing, so as to fix the lifting frame to the bed surface using the locking clip 402, which can support the affected leg area for bedridden patients.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the second sleeve 401 and the locking clamp 402 are integrally formed. Specifically, in order to improve the overall stability of the lifting frame, this embodiment integrally forms the locking clamp 402 with the second sleeve 401. In other embodiments, in order to better adjust the position of the soft pad 1 and make it more flexible in support, a telescopic rod (not shown) is provided between the second sleeve 401 and the locking clamp 402. That is, the second sleeve 401 and the locking clamp 402 are connected by a telescopic rod. The telescopic function of the telescopic rod can change the lateral distance between the second sleeve 401 and the locking clamp 402, so as to suspend part of the frame 2 above the bed surface and keep it at the corresponding leg injury site, further improving comfort.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the second support member 4 further includes a locking screw 404, one end of which is threaded into the locking opening 403, and the other end protruding outside the locking opening 403. Specifically, in order to further fix the locking clip 402 to the bedside railing, this embodiment provides a locking screw 404 at the locking clip 402, so that the locking screw 404 can be threaded into the locking opening 403. Rotating the locking screw 404 can adjust its length in the locking opening 403, so that it can quickly abut against the bedside railing, thereby improving the stability of the locking clip 402. Of course, anti-slip pads can be set at the corresponding positions to prevent slipping; and a pad can be set at the end of the locking screw 404 that extends into the locking port 403 to increase the contact area with the bed railing, which can also improve the overall stability of the locking clamp 402; even, multiple locking screws 404 can be set in different directions, and different locking and fixing methods can also improve stability.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the connector 203 is threadedly connected to the second sleeve 401. Specifically, to achieve a detachable connection between the connector 203 and the second sleeve 401, this embodiment uses an external thread structure on one of the connector 203 and the second sleeve 401, and an internal thread structure on the other. The detachable connection is achieved by using the cooperation of the internal and external thread structures. At the same time, the threaded connection can also change the total length of the connector 203 and the second sleeve 401, so as to adjust the overall height of the lifting frame and improve its flexibility.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the cushion 1 is provided with multiple Velcro assemblies 5, and the groove structure 201 is provided with multiple through holes 202 for the Velcro assemblies 5 to pass through. Specifically, in order to detachably fix the cushion 1 to the groove structure 201 and prevent it from slipping off naturally, this embodiment provides multiple (sets) of through holes 202 at the bottom of the groove structure 201 and multiple Velcro assemblies 5 on the side of the cushion 1. Each Velcro assemblies 5 includes a hook and loop side. The Velcro assemblies 5 pass through two corresponding through holes 202 (or a set of through holes) and are pasted below the groove structure 201, thereby fixing the cushion 1 to the upper end of the frame 2 and preventing it from moving relative to the groove structure 201. The use of the Velcro assemblies 5 allows for quick assembly and disassembly and reuse.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the cushion 1 includes a support area 101 and two contact areas 102 located on both sides of the support area 101. The support area 101 and the two contact areas 102 extend in the same direction, and the height of the support area 101 is lower than the height of either contact area 102. Specifically, to improve the comfort of the cushion 1, this embodiment divides the cushion 1 into a central support area 101 and two contact areas 102 located on both sides of the central area. The support area 101 is recessed downwards so that its height is lower than the height of the two contact areas 102. Thus, the support area 101 provides soft support, and the contact areas 102 provide a wrapping effect, improving comfort. Of course, the cushion 1 can be made of memory foam, which has good resilience; a cushion cover can be fitted over it for easy replacement. Preferably, the support area 101 is provided with several ventilation holes 103 to avoid prolonged stuffiness and discomfort.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
