Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of medical and nursing devices, specifically relating to a turning device for elderly patient care. Background Technology

[0002] In the care of elderly patients, assisting them to turn over is a core procedure for preventing complications. Traditional manual turning requires 2-3 people to support the patient's torso and limbs. During this process, friction can easily cause skin abrasions (especially for patients with stage I pressure ulcers that have already developed erythema), and there is a risk of dislodgement of medical devices such as urinary catheters and nasogastric tubes, which is detrimental to the patient's recovery. It can also easily cause lower back strain for caregivers. Therefore, to ensure patient recovery and facilitate the operation of medical staff, it is necessary to use a turning device (i.e., a turning machine) to turn patients.

[0003] Professional turning devices (such as U-shaped turning devices) use a lightweight alloy frame and a high-density memory foam padding to form a support structure, with a waterproof PU surface covering the surface. This not only disperses pressure on bony prominences but also prevents sweat penetration. The waterproof material can be directly wiped with alcohol for disinfection, reducing the risk of cross-infection and protecting the patient's health. Furthermore, the use of turning devices facilitates operation for caregivers, reducing lumbar strain and nursing costs. Existing turning devices typically fix the patient's legs into a single unit, relying on the semi-circular shape of its base to assist in quick turning. However, after the patient is turned, the semi-circular design results in poor stability, making it easy for the patient to roll back to their original position. Patent CN219963300U discloses a nursing turning device, including an auxiliary turning device, a central partition, a clamping and adjusting mechanism, an anti-tipping base plate, and a turning assistance mechanism. This patent prevents the auxiliary turning device from tipping over in the forward and backward directions by setting an anti-tipping base plate at the bottom. However, in actual use, the anti-tipping base plate is set below the patient during the rollover, which increases the complexity of the device and makes the operation inconvenient. On the other hand, the anti-tipping base plate has insufficient contact surface and provides insufficient support, making it easy to slip and causing the patient to roll back and reset.

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model relates to a turning device for elderly patient care, including a turning device 1, a positioning block 2, and a fixing structure 3.

[0034] The turning device 1 includes a semi-circular seat 101 and a clamping seat 102. The clamping seat 102 is arranged on one side of the semi-circular seat 101, and a set of symmetrical placement slots 103 are arranged on one side of the clamping seat 102.

[0035] The bottom of the semi-circular base 101 of the turning device 1 is detachably equipped with a positioning block 2, and a fixing structure 3 is installed inside the positioning block 2.

[0036] When turning a patient over, the positioning block 2 can be removed from the turning device 1 first. Then, the turning device 1 is placed under the patient's legs, and the patient's legs are placed into the placement slot 103 of the turning device 1. This can then assist medical staff in quickly turning the patient over. After the patient is turned over, the fixing structure 3 can be pressed to insert the positioning block 2 under the semi-circular seat 101 of the turning device 1. At this time, the fixing structure 3 can be released to fasten the positioning block 2 onto the turning device 1, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the turning device 1 and the positioning block 2.

[0037] Furthermore, the center of the positioning block 2 is a central block 201; the inner surface of the central block 201 is an arc surface 205, and the curvature of the arc surface is the same as the curvature of the contact position of the semi-circular seat 101; the two sides of the positioning block 2 are side blocks 202; the side blocks 202 cooperate with the arc surface 205 of the central block 201 to form a clamping groove; since the arc surface 205 of the central block 201 can be inserted into the underside of the semi-circular seat 101 of the turning device 1, the positioning block 2 and the turning device 1 are stably engaged, and the two sets of side blocks 202... The arc surface 205 of the middle block 201 forms a clamping groove, which can be directly clamped on both sides of the turning device 1, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the two and preventing the patient from resetting and turning over. This effectively avoids the patient resetting after turning over and ensures the effect of turning over. In addition, the side block 202 can expand the width of the positioning block 2, thereby improving the stability of the positioning block 2 after connecting with the turning device 1, and further improving the stability of the turning device 1 after turning over the patient.

[0038] Furthermore, a through hole 207 is arranged in the center of the top of the middle block 201; a mounting groove 206 is arranged in the center of the interior of the middle block 201, and the through hole 207 communicates with the mounting groove 206; the fixing structure 3 includes a vertical rod 301 and a horizontal rod 302; wherein, the vertical rod 301 is inserted into the through hole 207 of the middle block 201 and installed inside the mounting groove 206; a pressing block 305 is arranged at the top of the vertical rod 301; a spring 304 is arranged between the bottom end of the vertical rod 301 and the bottom surface of the mounting groove 206. Two sets of horizontal rods 302 are vertically arranged on the vertical rod 301; the horizontal rods 302 are located inside the mounting groove 206; a buckle 303 is arranged at the outer end of the horizontal rod 302 in the mounting groove 206; an insertion hole 106 corresponding to the horizontal rod 302 is arranged on one side of the semi-circular seat 101; a buckle hole 107 is arranged on the top side of the insertion hole 106, and the buckle hole 107 corresponds to the buckle 303. Thus, by pressing the pressing block 305, the vertical rod 301, the horizontal rod 302, and the buckle 303 move downwards, and then the positioning block 2 is inserted into the lower part of the semi-circular seat 101. At this time, the horizontal rod 302 and the buckle 303 are inserted into the insertion hole 106 of the semi-circular seat 101. After insertion, the pressing block 305 is released, and the horizontal rod 302 and the buckle 303 are reset and move upwards under the action of the spring 304. The buckle 303 is inserted into the buckle hole 107, thereby realizing the quick fastening connection between the positioning block 2 and the flipper 1, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the positioning block 2.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, a breathable pad 104 is arranged inside the placement slot 103 to ensure breathability when the patient's legs are placed inside the placement slot 103.
