Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air mattresses, and more specifically, to a fully automatic turning air mattress. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical nursing, regular turning is a crucial nursing procedure for long-term bedridden patients, such as paralyzed patients and postoperative recovery patients. Regular turning can effectively prevent pressure sores, promote blood circulation, improve lung ventilation, and reduce the occurrence of complications such as hypostatic pneumonia. Currently, there are two main methods of turning patients in clinical practice. One method relies on nurses to manually assist the patient's turning. This method is not only labor-intensive, but also difficult to guarantee timely and accurate turning due to the limited physical strength of nurses. Furthermore, improper force during turning may cause secondary injury to the patient. The other method uses a regular air mattress. While a regular air mattress can reduce pressure on the patient's skin to some extent, it cannot provide automatic turning and still requires assistance from nurses.

[0003] Existing air mattresses often lack an independent inflatable headrest, preventing adjustments to the head support height and firmness to suit individual patient needs. When patients lie in bed for extended periods, neck pressure cannot be effectively reduced, leading to fatigue, stiffness, and even pain, severely impacting patient comfort.

[0004] In existing air mattresses, patients with limited mobility often require significant assistance to turn over. This not only deprives patients of autonomy and independence during the process but may also cause discomfort or even physical injury due to improper handling by others.

[0005] Existing air mattresses may not be able to perform regular turning at scientific intervals like this fully automatic turning air mattress. When patients maintain the same position for a long time, blood circulation is hindered, which can easily lead to complications such as pulmonary hypostatic pneumonia and deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities, seriously affecting the patient's recovery process.

[0006] When assisting patients to turn over, caregivers need to expend a lot of physical strength to lift and adjust the patient's position. Prolonged high-intensity work can easily lead to physical fatigue, muscle strain, and even occupational diseases for caregivers, affecting their health. Therefore, we have made an improvement by proposing a fully automatic turning air mattress. Utility Model Content

[0033] In use, this fully automatic turning air mattress mainly consists of a central independently inflatable air mattress body, an independently inflatable air mattress head, a left independently inflatable air mattress, and a right independently inflatable air mattress. Through the independent inflation and deflation of the different air mattresses, combined with the turning assist handle structure, the patient can turn over on the air mattress.

[0034] Detailed explanation of the working principle of the fully automatic turning air mattress:

[0035] 1. Air cushion inflation principle

[0036] The central independently inflatable air mattress is inflated via an inflation valve. During inflation, the inflation valve cover is opened, and gas from an external air source (such as an air pump) enters the central independently inflatable air mattress through the inflation valve opening. The inflation valve core controls gas flow and prevents backflow. After inflation is complete, the inflation valve cover is closed to prevent gas leakage, maintaining a stable air pressure in the central independently inflatable air mattress to provide support for the patient.

[0037] The air mattress features several independent inflatable headrests: Inflation is achieved using a headrest inflation valve. Gas enters the headrest through this valve, inflating it to provide comfortable head support. The independent inflation design allows adjustment of the head support height and firmness to suit the patient's needs. The left-side independent inflatable air mattress is inflated using the left inflation valve. Gas enters the left-side air mattress, causing it to gradually inflate. By controlling the inflation volume, the height and firmness of the left-side air mattress can be adjusted, providing power and support for the patient to turn to the left. The right-side independent inflatable air mattress is inflated using the right inflation valve. Once gas is injected, the right-side air mattress inflates, providing corresponding power and support for the patient to turn to the right.

[0038] 2. Working principle of turning over

[0039] Turning to the left: First, inflate the left independent air mattress using the left air mattress inflation valve. As air is continuously injected, the left independent air mattress gradually rises, creating a slope on the left side of the air mattress. Simultaneously, the patient can grasp the auxiliary grip hand holes on the left air mattress turning aid handle, using the strength of their hands and the slope created by the rising left air mattress to more easily turn to the left. The air mattress reinforcement patches on both sides of the head independent air mattress ensure the stability of the head air mattress during turning and prevent displacement.

[0040] Turning to the right: Operate the right air cushion inflation valve to inflate the right independent air cushion, raising it and creating a slope on the right side of the air mattress. The patient grasps the auxiliary grip hand hole on the right air cushion turning aid handle and uses the raised slope of the right air cushion and hand strength to turn to the right.

[0041] 3. Head support and assistance principle

[0042] The air mattress features an independently inflatable headrest that provides specialized support for the patient's head. Patients can adjust the inflation level of the headrest via the inflation valve to change the height and firmness of the head support, according to their own comfort. The headrest grips and auxiliary hooks on both sides can assist patients in adjusting their head posture or, when necessary, suspend small medical devices or items. The grip holes on the auxiliary grips facilitate easy handling and enhance usability.

[0043] In summary, this fully automatic turning air mattress, through the independent inflation and deflation of each air mattress and the turning assist handle structure, enables patients to turn over automatically on the air mattress, while providing patients with comfortable head support and a good user experience.

[0044] Example 2: In a rehabilitation ward of a hospital, there was a patient who had been bedridden for a long time and had difficulty moving due to physical reasons. He needed to use a turning air mattress to improve his comfort and prevent complications. The hospital provided him with this type of turning air mattress.

[0045] Installation and preparation:

[0046] Air mattress deployment: Medical staff will lay the air mattress smoothly on the hospital bed, ensuring that all parts of the air mattress are neatly arranged and there are no folds or twists.

[0047] Inflation preparation: Check that all inflation valves are closed and prepare inflation equipment, such as an air pump.

[0048] Head air cushion inflation: Connect the air pump to the head air cushion inflation valve 3. Inflate the independent head air cushion 2 of the air mattress according to the patient's needs. The patient can lie on the air mattress to feel the support height and firmness of the head. When a comfortable state is reached, stop inflation and close the head air cushion inflation valve 3.

[0049] Inflating the central air mattress: Connect the air pump to the central air mattress inflation valve 14, open the inflation valve cover 17, and inflate the central independent air mattress 1 through the inflation valve hole 15. Observe the expansion of the air mattress. After the air mattress reaches the appropriate inflation level, close the inflation valve core 16 and tighten the inflation valve cover 17.

[0050] Inflating the left and right air cushions: Connect the air pump to the left air cushion inflation valve 8 and the right air cushion inflation valve 11 respectively to inflate the left independent air cushion 7 and the right independent air cushion 10. Adjust the inflation volume according to the patient's needs and comfort, then close the corresponding inflation valve.

[0051] Daily Rest: The patient lies on the air mattress, with the centrally located independent inflatable air mattress 1 providing even support to the body, reducing pressure on various parts of the body and effectively lowering the risk of pressure sores. The height and firmness of the head cushion have been adjusted to suit the patient, relieving neck pressure and allowing for more comfortable rest.

[0052] Turning over: When the patient needs to turn to the left, medical staff or the patient can first inflate the left independent air mattress 7 through the left air mattress inflation valve 8, gradually raising the left air mattress. Simultaneously, the patient can grasp the auxiliary grip hand hole 13 on the left air mattress turning aid handle 9, using the grip for easier and more stable turning to the left. During the turning process, the air mattress reinforcement patches 6 on both sides of the head independent air mattress 2 ensure the stability of the head air mattress, preventing displacement and ensuring the patient's head is always reliably supported. Turning to the right is similar to turning to the left; inflate the right independent air mattress 10 through the right air mattress inflation valve 11, and grasp the auxiliary grip hand hole 13 on the right air mattress turning aid handle 12 to complete the turning action.
