Detailed Implementation

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] This application discloses an auxiliary turning mat, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes: a sealing gasket 100, which is hollow and forms a first sealing air chamber 110 and a second sealing air chamber 120; both the first sealing air chamber 110 and the second sealing air chamber 120 are provided with an air inlet 130 and an air outlet 140; an inflation device 400 connected to the air inlet 130 for inflating the first sealing air chamber 110 or the second sealing air chamber 120; and an air extraction device 500 connected to the air outlet 140 for evacuating the first sealing air chamber 110 or the second sealing air chamber 120; wherein the first sealing air chamber and the second sealing air chamber are alternately inflated and deflated, so that the included angle between the first sealing air chamber 110 and the second sealing air chamber 120 becomes smaller, in order to assist the patient in turning over.

[0040] In use, the first and second sealed air chambers are located on opposite sides of the sealing pad 100. While the inflation device 400 inflates the first sealed air chamber 110, the deflator 500 deflates the second sealed air chamber 120, reducing the angle between them. Simultaneously, a height difference is created on both sides of the sealing pad 100. The first sealed air chamber 110 expands to slowly elevate the patient's body, allowing the patient to turn towards the second sealed air chamber 120, thus reducing the burden on medical staff. Similarly, when the inflation device 400 inflates the second sealed air chamber 120, the deflator 500 deflates the first sealed air chamber 110, causing the second sealed air chamber 120 to expand and the first sealed air chamber 110 to contract, allowing the patient to turn towards the first sealed air chamber 110.

[0041] Specifically, the sealing pad 100 can be used in clinical nursing. In actual use, the sealing pad 100 is first laid flat on the bed, and then the patient is moved onto the sealing pad 100. When the patient needs to turn over, the first sealing air chamber 110 or the second sealing air chamber 120 is alternately inflated and deflated according to the direction of turning over, so that the first sealing air chamber 110 or the second sealing air chamber 120 expands and gradually raises the patient's body, assisting the patient to complete the turning over. It can be seen that this embodiment uses the inflation device 400 and the deflating device 500 to alternately inflate and deflate the first sealing air chamber 110 and the second sealing air chamber 120 to assist the patient in turning over, prevent pressure sores caused by prolonged pressure on local areas of the body, and reduce the burden on medical staff.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the first sealed air chamber 110 or the second sealed air chamber 120 is any one of triangle, trapezoid, semicircle and step, so that when the first sealed air chamber 110 or the second sealed air chamber 120 is inflated, it can expand to provide support for the patient.

[0043] In another embodiment disclosed in this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple first sealing chambers 110; the cross-sectional shape of each of the multiple first sealing chambers 110 is semi-circular; the diameter of the multiple first sealing chambers 110 gradually increases from the middle of the sealing gasket 100 to the edge of the sealing gasket 100; and / or, there are multiple second sealing chambers 120; the cross-sectional shape of each of the multiple second sealing chambers 120 is semi-circular; the diameter of the multiple second sealing chambers 120 gradually increases from the middle of the sealing gasket 100 to the edge of the sealing gasket 100.

[0044] In use, multiple first sealing chambers 110 are interconnected and distributed from the center of the sealing gasket 100 towards its edge. The first sealing chamber 110 located in the center of the sealing gasket 100 has the smallest diameter, and the diameter of the first sealing chamber 110 increases as it approaches the edge of the sealing gasket 100. Each first sealing chamber 110 is equipped with an inflation device 400 and an air extraction device 500. Similarly, multiple second sealing chambers 120 are also interconnected and distributed from the center of the sealing gasket 100 towards the edge of the sealing gasket 100 away from the first sealing chambers 110. The second sealing chamber 120 located in the center of the sealing gasket 100 has the smallest diameter, and the diameter of the second sealing chamber 120 increases as it approaches the edge of the sealing gasket 100. Each second sealing chamber 120 is also equipped with an air extraction device 500 and an inflation device 400.

[0045] Specifically, the sealing pad 100 is placed under the patient's body, so that the patient lies on the sealing pad 100. When the inflation device 400 inflates the first sealing chamber 110, the suction device 500, located on the second sealing chamber 120, extracts the gas from the second sealing chamber 120, causing the first sealing chamber 110 to expand in a wave-like shape and the second sealing chamber 120 to contract, gradually lifting the patient's body to assist the patient in turning over. Alternatively, when the inflation device 400 inflates the second sealing chamber 120, the suction device 500, located on the first sealing chamber 110, extracts the gas from the first sealing chamber 110, causing the second sealing chamber 120 to expand in a wave-like shape and the second sealing chamber 120 to contract, gradually lifting the patient's body to assist the patient in turning over. Thus, the inflation and deflation of the first and second sealing chambers 110 and 120 can be flexibly selected according to the patient's turning direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple first sealed air chambers 110 are not interconnected, and each first sealed air chamber 110 is equipped with an inflation device 400 and an air extraction device 500; similarly, multiple second sealed air chambers 120 are not interconnected, and each second sealed air chamber 120 is equipped with an inflation device 400 and an air extraction device 500. In clinical use, the first sealed air chamber 110 or the second sealed air chamber 120 can be precisely selected according to the patient's posture, and inflated or deflated to ensure accurate adjustment of the point of contact between the patient and the sealing pad 100, assisting the patient in effective turning and reducing reliance on medical personnel in traditional nursing methods. Furthermore, since the multiple first sealed air chambers 110 and the multiple second sealed air chambers 120 are not interconnected, the inflation and deflation volumes of each chamber can be flexibly controlled during inflation and deflation to adjust the expansion and shape of each chamber, thereby precisely adjusting the angle between the first sealed air chamber 110 and the second sealed air chamber 120 to turn the patient to a suitable angle.

[0047] In this embodiment, the angle between the first sealed air chamber 110 and the second sealed air chamber 120 is 30-180 degrees. In actual clinical nursing, depending on the patient's height and weight, either the first sealed air chamber 110 or the second sealed air chamber 120 is selected for inflation or deflation under the patient's position, so that the angle between the first sealed air chamber 110 and the second sealed air chamber 120 changes, precisely assisting the patient in turning over and reducing the burden on medical staff.

[0048] In another embodiment disclosed in this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inflation device 400 includes: an inflation pump 410 with a first controller 411; an inflation pipe 420, one end of which is connected to the inflation pump 410 and the other end of which is connected to the air inlet 130; a timer, mounted on the inflation pump 410 and electrically connected to the first controller 411; the timer is used to record the time when the patient needs to be turned over; a speaker (not shown in the figure); the speaker is electrically connected to the first controller 411; the speaker is used to broadcast reminders according to the time calculated by the timer; wherein, the first controller 411 adjusts the opening and closing of the inflation pump 410 according to the time recorded by the timer. The air extraction device 500 further includes: an air extraction pump 510, equipped with a second controller 511; the second controller regulates the opening and closing of the air extraction pump 510; an air extraction pipe 520, one end of which is connected to the air extraction pump 510 and the other end of which is connected to the air outlet 140; a second timer 530, which is mounted on the air extraction pump 510 and electrically connected to the second controller 511; the timer is used to record the time when the patient needs to be turned over.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first controller 411 is electrically connected to the air pump 410, and the first controller 411 can control the air pump 410 to turn on and off. The timer is also electrically connected to the first controller 411. The timer can be a stopwatch, and it is set to the time when the patient needs to be turned over, such as once every hour or once every two hours. Different times are preset on the timer depending on the patient. When the first timer 430 completes one cycle, it directly sends a signal to the first controller 411, which then controls the air pump 410 to start inflating. Simultaneously, the second timer 530 is preset to the same time as the first timer 430. When the second timer 530 completes one cycle, it directly sends a signal to the second controller 511, which then controls the deflator 510 to start inflating.

[0050] In practical use, medical staff preset the inflation device 400 and the de-inflation device 500 of the first sealed air chamber 110 and the second sealed air chamber 120 according to the patient's turning direction. For example, when the patient needs to turn towards the second sealed air chamber 120, the medical staff preset the first timer 430 on the inflation device 400 of the first sealed air chamber 110 and the second timer 530 on the de-inflation device 500 of the second sealed air chamber 120, thereby realizing the automatic alternating inflation and deflation of the first sealed air chamber 110 and the second sealed air chamber 120.

[0051] When multiple non-communicating first sealed air chambers 110 and multiple distinct second sealed air chambers 120 are provided, each of the multiple first sealed air chambers 110 and multiple second sealed air chambers 120 is equipped with an inflation device 400 and an exhaust device 500. Furthermore, the inflation device 400 and exhaust device 500 of each first sealed air chamber 110 and each second sealed air chamber 120 operate independently and do not affect each other. The figure shows the inflation device 400 and exhaust device 500 of one first sealed air chamber 110; the exhaust devices 500 of the other first sealed air chambers 110 and second sealed air chambers 120 are configured identically.

[0052] As can be seen, this embodiment automatically times the time required for the patient to turn over by setting a controller and a timer, and automatically assists the patient to complete the turning based on the turning time, preventing bedsores caused by prolonged local pressure, and also reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the air pump 410 further includes a display 440; the display 440 is circuitically connected to the first controller 411; the display 440 is used to display the inflation volume of the air pump 410. The inflation volume of each first sealed air chamber 110 or each second sealed air chamber 120 is displayed on the display 440 to precisely control the inflation volume.

[0054] In this embodiment, a one-way valve (not shown in the drawings) is provided in both the air inlet 130 and the air outlet 140. The one-way valve is used to regulate the opening and closing of the air inlet 130 and the air outlet 140. By controlling the unidirectional flow of gas in the first and second sealed air chambers 120 through the one-way valve, it is ensured that the gas can only enter or exit in the set direction, preventing backflow or leakage, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the inflation and deflation process of the sealing gasket 100.

[0055] In this embodiment, the lengths of the inflation tube 420 and the suction tube 520 can be selected according to the actual situation. A long inflation tube 420 and a long suction tube 520 can be selected. The inflation tube 420 is connected to the air inlet 130, and the suction tube 520 is connected to the suction port. The inflation pump 410 and the suction pump 510 are then placed under the bed or beside the bed for easy storage and to avoid affecting the patient's turning over.

[0056] In another embodiment of this utility model, the outer surface of the sealing pad 100 is further provided with a fastening strap (not shown in the drawings); the fastening strap is used to secure the patient's body. The outer surface of the sealing pad 100 is also provided with a handle 150. Specifically, in clinical nursing procedures, before the patient turns over, medical staff use the fastening straps on both sides of the sealing pad 100 to secure the patient. When fastening, it is only necessary to ensure that the patient does not slip out of the sealing pad 100; a firm fix is ​​not required. Simultaneously, when the first sealing air chamber 110 or the second sealing air chamber 120 expands, medical staff can also use the handle 150 to slowly lift the expanded air chamber to assist the patient in turning over. By using the handle 150 in conjunction with the expanding first sealing air chamber 110 or second sealing air chamber 120, the physical effort required by medical staff to assist the patient in turning over is reduced, saving the medical staff's energy.

[0057] In summary, an auxiliary turning pad includes: a sealing pad, an inflation device, and an air extraction device; the sealing pad is hollow and forms a first sealed air chamber and a second sealed air chamber; both the first and second sealed air chambers are provided with an air inlet and an air outlet; the inflation device is connected to the air inlet for inflating the first or second sealed air chamber; the air extraction device is connected to the air outlet for extracting air from the first or second sealed air chamber; wherein the first and second sealed air chambers are alternately inflated and deflated, reducing the angle between the first and second sealed air chambers to assist the patient in turning over. This invention uses the inflation and air extraction devices to alternately inflate and deflate the first and second sealed air chambers. When the inflation device inflates the first or second sealed air chamber, the air extraction device extracts air from the other sealed air chamber, resulting in different heights on both sides of the sealing pad. This changes the point of contact between the patient's body and the sealing pad, thereby assisting the patient in turning over and solving the problem of high reliance on manual labor in traditional nursing methods.

[0058] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0059] It should be noted that this utility model uses the auxiliary turning pad as an example to introduce the specific structure and working principle of this utility model, but the application of this utility model is not limited to the auxiliary turning pad, and can also be applied to the production and use of other similar workpieces.

[0060] It should be understood that this invention is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this invention is limited only by the appended claims.
