AI Technical Summary
In the current care of critically ill patients in the ICU, turning over requires the cooperation of multiple people, especially for overweight patients. Furthermore, multiple turnings are required when applying medication, resulting in high physical exertion for nursing staff.
An assistive device for turning over in the care of critically ill ICU patients was designed, comprising a bed board, a support shaft, an auxiliary plate, a rotating shaft, an arc-shaped plate, and a drive motor. The auxiliary plate is rotated by a worm gear mechanism driven by the motor, reducing the need for manual turning.
This allows a single person to perform patient turning care, reducing the physical exertion of nursing staff and improving operational efficiency and comfort.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to a turning assistance device for the care of critically ill patients in the ICU. Background Technology
[0002] In the care of critically ill patients in the ICU, nursing staff need to help patients change their position to reduce pressure sores, improve ventilation, promote blood circulation and alleviate patient pain. Turning over is an important measure in critical care, usually done every 2 hours. When turning over, nursing staff must take special care to avoid injuring the patient's skin and bones, especially for those who have been bedridden for a long time.
[0003] Current methods for turning over ICU patients require assistance from nursing staff. However, for overweight patients, multiple nurses are needed to turn them over, making the process quite strenuous. Furthermore, when applying medication to the patient's skin, multiple turns are required to ensure complete coverage, placing high demands on the nurses' physical abilities. To address these issues, we have developed a turning assistance device for ICU patients to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a turning assistance device for ICU critical care patients. By adjusting the settings of the components, it solves the problem that the existing methods of turning ICU critical care patients require the assistance of nursing staff, which is very inconvenient to operate.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0006] This utility model is a turning assistance device for ICU critical care patients, including a bed board, a support shaft is movably connected inside the bed board, and an auxiliary plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the support shaft; an adjustment component is provided at the bottom of the bed board, the adjustment component includes a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is located at the bottom of the bed board, a rotating plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, and an arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating plate.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the adjusting component also includes a worm gear, the worm gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, and a worm is engaged at the bottom of the worm gear.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bed board, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the worm gear.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that push rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the arc-shaped plate, and the top of the push rods contacts the auxiliary plate.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a guide plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the auxiliary plate, and a support leg is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bed board.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that bearing seats are movably connected to both the front and rear sides of the rotating shaft, and the top of the bearing seats is fixedly connected to the bed board.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a mattress is provided on the top of the bed board, and a support plate is provided at the bottom of the auxiliary board, with the front and rear sides of the support plate being fixedly connected to the bed board.
[0013] This invention has the following advantages: By adjusting the settings of the components, when the patient is lying on the top of the bed board and needs care, the drive motor drives the rotating plate to rotate. The rotating plate, together with the arc plate, pushes the auxiliary plate to tilt upward around the support shaft, lifting one side of the patient's limbs upward. Medical staff only need to help the patient maintain a comfortable position before they can provide care. Multiple people are not required to cooperate in the operation, saving time and effort.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model is a turning assistance device for ICU critical care patients, including a bed board 1, a support shaft 2 movably connected inside the bed board 1, and an auxiliary plate 3 fixedly connected to the surface of the support shaft 2; an adjustment component is provided at the bottom of the bed board 1, the adjustment component includes a rotating shaft 4, the rotating shaft 4 is located at the bottom of the bed board 1, a rotating plate 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 4, and an arc plate 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating plate 5.
[0023] Specifically: There are two sets of auxiliary plates 3. The auxiliary plates 3 can be tilted upward to lift the patient's two limbs separately, assisting medical staff in turning the patient over. The surface of the rotating shaft 4 is movably connected to the inner wall of the bed board 1 through the bearing, and at the same time serves as the rotation center of the auxiliary plates 3. The top of the arc plate 6 contacts the auxiliary plates 3 through the push rod 10. When the arc plate 6 rotates to one side, it can push the auxiliary plates 3.
[0024] Example 2
