Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing pad technology, and in particular to a nursing pad for assisting orthopedic spinal patients in turning over. Background Technology
[0002] In spinal surgery, patients often need to lie in bed for long periods of time and cannot move independently. Maintaining the same posture for a long time will cause the same area of the body to be under pressure for a long time, which will lead to pressure sores. Therefore, it is necessary to turn the patient over regularly.
[0003] Patients typically lie on nursing pads, which are usually made of soft materials. When turning over, these pads cannot provide support and require manual turning. Furthermore, the lack of support after turning makes it difficult to maintain spinal axis stability and can easily lead to secondary injuries. Therefore, we propose a nursing pad for assisting orthopedic spinal patients in turning over to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies mentioned in the background section by proposing a nursing pad for assisting orthopedic spinal patients in turning over.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A nursing pad for assisting orthopedic spinal patients in turning over includes an inflatable airbag at the top of a supporting base plate, a memory foam layer at the top of the airbag, an installation slot at the top of the supporting base plate, an air passage pipe at the bottom of the airbag located inside the installation slot, a connecting main pipe inside the supporting base plate that is interconnected with the ends of multiple sets of air passage pipes, and a miniature air pump outside the supporting base plate whose output end is connected to the connecting main pipe.
[0007] The airbag can be inflated through the area of the airbag, which can be used to turn people over and support them.
[0008] Preferably, the memory foam layer has multiple sets of micro-holes to provide ventilation.
[0009] It can improve comfort when applied to the skin and reduce the occurrence of pressure sores.
[0010] Preferably, the inflatable airbags are arranged in three rows, and the width of the inflatable airbags in the middle row is greater than the width of the inflatable airbags on both sides.
[0011] People can lie on the inflatable airbags in the middle row, and the inflatable airbags on both sides will help them turn over, and the turning effect is better.
[0012] Preferably, each row of inflatable airbags consists of three independent groups of airbags, forming a nine-square grid distribution;
[0013] This can change the inflation area of the airbag, making it more conform to the body curve after a person turns over, thus further improving its support effect.
[0014] Preferably, a connecting valve is provided at the node where the connecting main pipe connects to the air pipeline, which can control the inflation or deflation of individual airbags;
[0015] It allows the connecting air valve to control the inflation and deflation of individual airbags, making the inflation of airbags more convenient.
[0016] Preferably, a display panel is provided on the side wall of the supporting base plate, and the display panel is connected to the connecting air valve and the micro air pump via wiring;
[0017] It allows personnel to control the inflation of the airbag through the display panel, making the inflation of the airbag more convenient.
[0018] Preferably, the bottom end of the supporting base plate is provided with an anti-slip pad, and the bottom end of the anti-slip pad is provided with multiple sets of protrusions;
[0019] This ensures that the support base plate will not shift when placed on the bed, resulting in better usability for users.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] 1. This utility model allows a person to lie on the memory foam layer, and then the inflatable airbag is inflated by the action of a micro air pump, thereby expanding the side inflatable airbag to support and turn the patient over, without the need for manual turning, making it more convenient for the patient to turn over.
[0022] 2. This utility model allows the display panel and connecting air valve to control the inflation of different areas on the airbag, so that after the person turns over, the inflation of each area is more in line with the body curve of the patient after turning over, avoiding secondary injury caused by spinal axis instability, and making the patient more comfortable after turning over.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 The nursing pad shown is for assisting orthopedic spinal patients in turning over. An inflatable airbag 2 is bonded to the top of a support base plate 1. The inflatable airbag 2 is arranged in three rows, with three independent airbags in each row, for a total of nine independent airbags. The airbags in the middle row are wider than those on the sides. A memory foam layer 3 is then bonded to the top of the inflatable airbag 2. The surface of the memory foam layer 3 is wavy. The bottom of the support base plate 1 is fixed with a silicone particle coating, which can better position it with the bed and prevent slippage.
[0030] For a detailed description of the supporting base plate 1 in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4Subsequently, an installation slot 4 is formed inside the support base plate 1. An air passage pipe 5 is connected below each independent airbag, ensuring that the ends of each air passage pipe 5 are on the same horizontal line. A connecting main pipe 6 is then placed inside the support base plate 1, connecting to the ends of the nine air passage pipes 5. A connecting valve 7 is installed at the connection point between the connecting main pipe 6 and the air passage pipes 5, controlling the connectivity of the air passage pipes 5 at that location. One end of the connecting main pipe 6 extends to the outside, and a miniature air pump 8 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the support base plate 1, with its output end connected to the externally extended end of the connecting main pipe 6. 8 can use a TCN intelligent micro air pump device, which is small in size and can be used for both inflation and deflation, making it suitable for this technical solution. Subsequently, a display panel 9 is attached to the other side of the supporting base plate 1. This display panel 9 can be an electric control panel, which has display and control effects. This display panel 9 is connected to multiple sets of connecting air valves 7 and micro air pump 8 through wiring, so that the display panel 9 can control the opening and closing of one or more sets of connecting air valves 7, so that after the inflated airbag 2 expands, it can help people to turn over and be supported. The display panel 9 controls the opening of the micro air pump 8 and connecting air valves 7 using the existing control program, without any improvement, so it will not be described in detail in this technical solution.
[0031] Working principle: When using this utility model, the person lies on the inflatable airbag 2 located in the middle row. When it is necessary to turn the person over, the person can directly touch the connecting air valve 7 of the corresponding inflatable airbag 2 on the display panel 9 to open it. This allows the micro air pump 8 to drive gas into the interior of the inflatable airbag 2, causing the inflatable airbag 2 located on the side to expand, thereby turning the person over.
[0032] In this utility model, the installation, connection or setting methods of all the components mentioned above are common mechanical methods, and the specific structure, model and coefficient index of all the components are their own technologies. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented, so they will not be described in detail.
[0033] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
