Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elderly care technology, and in particular to a turning assist device for clinical elderly care. Background Technology

[0002] The prior art patent CN217853672U discloses an auxiliary turning device for preventing pressure sores in elderly patients, including a U-shaped pillow block and a spacer block connected to the center of the bottom inner side of the U-shaped pillow block. A connecting cylinder is installed on the side of the U-shaped pillow block by a fixing member, and a connecting rod slides through the inside of the connecting cylinder. The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the elderly person's legs up to the knees can be placed on the U-shaped pillow block in front of and behind the spacer block. Then, by pushing the elderly person and the U-shaped pillow block to rotate together, the rear end of the U-shaped pillow block will contact the bed surface. Under the restriction of the U-shaped pillow block, the elderly person can maintain a side-lying position and will not lie flat, which is convenient for caregivers to care for the elderly person. By setting up a connecting rod, connecting cylinder, connecting block, connecting plate, arc plate, transmission mechanism, and limiting mechanism, the U-shaped pillow block will not tip over, and the side-lying positioning effect of the elderly person is very good.

[0003] This device assists elderly patients in turning over clinically using a U-shaped pillow block, and an arc-shaped plate is placed on the bed rail to keep the U-shaped pillow block in a sideways position, thus maintaining the elderly patient's sideways position. However, the device has the following shortcomings during use: First, the length of the arc-shaped plate is adjusted by a telescopic push rod, and the straight arc-shaped plate makes it difficult to ensure that it is precisely placed on the bed rail. Second, the U-shaped pillow block is a one-piece structure, making it inconvenient to remove the inner liner for cleaning; with long-term use, the elderly patient's legs repeatedly enter and exit the groove of the U-shaped pillow block, causing dirt to accumulate inside the groove. Furthermore, after the elderly patient's body is turned using the U-shaped pillow block, it easily rotates back to its original position, making it difficult to fix the position of the U-shaped pillow block in time. Therefore, a turning assistance device for geriatric clinical care is needed to meet the usage requirements. Utility Model Content

Then, support the elderly person's shoulders and rotate the U-shaped turning pillow 1 towards the positions of the first inclined support block 2 and the second inclined support block 3. At this time, the U-shaped turning pillow 1 will twist and turn the elderly person through their legs, making it easier for them to turn over. The first inclined support block 2 and the second inclined support block 3 on the hospital bed can effectively reduce the automatic flipping and resetting of the U-shaped turning pillow 1. The caregiver then binds the strap 6 to the hospital bed rail, adjusting the length of the binding as needed, and then attaches the hooking mechanism 12 into the hanging ring 8. At this time, the strap 6 provides sufficient tension to the U-shaped turning pillow 1, ensuring that the elderly person is in a side-lying position, which facilitates care for the elderly person.

[0023] In this embodiment of the utility model, specifically, the hanging mechanism 12 includes a hook 121 fixedly installed in the mounting base 11, an opening adjustment member 122 movably disposed in the mounting base 11, and a limit stop block 123 fixedly installed at the upper end of the hook 121; a rotating block 124 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the opening adjustment member 122, a fixed shaft 126 is fixedly installed in the mounting base 11, the rotating block 124 is rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 126, one end of a torsion spring 125 is fixedly installed on the rotating block 124, and the other end of the torsion spring 125 is fixedly installed in the mounting base 11;

[0024] To facilitate securing the strap 6 to the bed rail, pinch the opening adjustment piece 122 towards the hook 121, then directly hook the limiting block 123 onto the hanging ring 8. Release the opening adjustment piece 122, and the torsion spring 125 will cause the rotating block 124 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating block 124 will cause the opening adjustment piece 122 to reset and press against the inside of the limiting block 123, making it easy to secure the strap 6 to the bed rail.

[0025] In this embodiment of the utility model, the outer side of the contact piece 5 is fixedly installed with a hook and loop fastener 13, and the inside of the twist groove 4 is fixedly installed with a hook and loop fastener hook fastener 14, and the hook and loop fastener 13 and the hook and loop fastener hook fastener 14 are attached to each other.

[0026] To prevent the elderly person's legs from repeatedly entering and exiting the twist groove 4, causing dirt, the hook and loop side 13 is attached to the hook and loop side 14 before use. The contact piece 5 can then be installed inside the twist groove 4, allowing the elderly person's legs to directly contact the contact piece 5, thus preventing dirt buildup in the twist groove 4. The hook and loop side 13 is then peeled off the hook and loop side 14 to remove the contact piece 5 for easy cleaning.

Caregivers can also rotate the U-shaped turning pillow 1 by pulling the pull sleeve 15 and wrap the strap 6 around the pull sleeve 15 to store the strap 6.

[0029] Working principle: Before use, attach the hook and loop side 13 to the hook and loop side 14, and install the contact piece 5 in the twist groove 4. In use, place the U-shaped turning pillow 1 on the hospital bed, place the elderly person's legs in the twist groove 4, then support the elderly person's shoulders and rotate the U-shaped turning pillow 1 towards the positions of the first inclined support block 2 and the second inclined support block 3. At this time, the U-shaped turning pillow 1 will twist and turn the elderly person through their legs, making turning over easier. The first inclined support block 2 and the second inclined support block 3, when supported on the hospital bed, can effectively reduce the automatic flipping and resetting of the U-shaped turning pillow 1. The caregiver then secures the strap 6 to the bed rail, adjusting the length as needed. Next, they pinch the opening adjustment piece 122 towards the hook 121, and then directly attach the limiting block 123 to the hanging ring 8. Releasing the opening adjustment piece 122 causes the rotating block 124 to rotate under the reset action of the torsion spring 125. The rotation of the rotating block 124 resets the opening adjustment piece 122, placing it against the inside of the limiting block 123, facilitating the securing of the strap 6 to the bed rail. The elderly person's legs directly contact the contact piece 5, preventing dirt buildup in the torsion groove 4. The hook and loop fastener 13 is peeled off the hook and loop fastener 14 to remove the contact piece 5 for easy cleaning. After prolonged use, the caregiver can unzip the zipper 16 using the pull tab 17 and remove the inner liner of the U-shaped turning pillow 1 for cleaning.
