Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical supplies technology, specifically relating to a turning pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, turning over prone patients in a long-term bedridden state mainly relies on manual operation. Traditional turning methods require multiple caregivers to work together, resulting in low efficiency and high labor costs. Existing assistive tools, such as ordinary soft pillows or fixation pads, lack specific design and cannot effectively fix the patient's body, easily leading to limb slippage or positional shift during turning, increasing the risk of secondary injury. In addition, when prone, the patient's face is often in direct contact with the bed surface, restricting breathing space and easily causing suffocation or pressure sores. Some fixation devices have complex structures and are cumbersome to operate, making them difficult to adapt to emergency or daily care needs. Although some turning assistive devices exist in existing technologies, they mostly focus on mechanical structures and neglect ergonomic adaptability, resulting in insufficient patient comfort and an inability to flexibly adapt to different body types or care scenarios. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a turning assistive device that is easy to operate, safe, efficient, and comfortable, to solve the core problems of high reliance on manual labor, prominent safety hazards, and insufficient comfort in existing technologies.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a turning pillow, including a body pillow 1 and a head pillow 2 for separate and combined use. When in use, the human body is in a prone position, and the turning pillow is placed between the front of the human body and the bed. The body pillow 1 corresponds to the human body, and the head pillow 2 corresponds to the human head. The body pillow 1 and the head pillow 2 are made of soft material but have a certain degree of support. The body pillow 1 has a fixing surface 11 for fixing the human body and a guiding surface 12 for guiding turning. The fixing surface 11 has fixing devices 3 on both sides for fixing the human body's arms. The head pillow 2 has a groove 21 facing the human face to leave breathing space. The fixing surface 11 and the guiding surface 12 of the body pillow 1 are both arc-shaped surfaces. The arc shape of the fixing surface 11 is to better adapt to the human body, so that the human body is recessed into the fixing surface 11 and prevents the human body from slipping off the body pillow 1. The arc shape of the guiding surface 12 is to make turning more effortless.

[0030] When in use, the human body is in a prone position, with the fixed surface 11 of the body pillow 1 facing the front of the human body. The guide surface 12 is in contact with the bed or any other surface. From top to bottom, the human body, the turning pillow, and the bed are arranged in the same way. The head pillow 2 is set up similarly. First, the head pillow 2 is removed, and the human head is supported by hand to keep the human body on the same horizontal line. Then, the body is fixed to the fixed surface 11 of the body pillow 1 using the fixing device 3. Finally, the arc structure forms a mechanical fulcrum. The caregiver applies a lateral force to the guide surface 12 and uses the leverage effect of the arc surface to transfer the patient's center of gravity to the target direction, thereby achieving turning over. The minimum number of people required to complete the turning over is only 3. In normal prone position turning over, multiple people are needed to assist, and it is inconvenient to turn over when there are few people. In order to solve the above problems, the body pillow 1 of this application can easily turn the patient from the prone position even when there are few people.

[0031] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, the fixing device 3 is a detachable restraint strap 31 for fixing the human arm. There are two sets of restraint straps 31, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixing surface 11 of the body pillow 1, corresponding to the two arms of the human body. This structural design fixes the entire body to the fixing surface 11 of the body pillow 1 by fixing the two arms of the human body. Each set has two restraint straps 31, and each arm is fixed by two restraint straps 31 at the same time. This structural design further fixes the human arm with two restraint straps 31 than with one restraint strap 31, preventing the human body from falling off the body pillow 1 during the turning process and causing injury to the patient. In other embodiments, the fixing device 3 for fixing the human body to the body pillow 1 does not have to be the restraint strap 31 for fixing the human arm, but any fixing device for fixing the waist or back of the human body, which can achieve the same effect. In other embodiments, the number of restraint straps 31 on one arm of the human body is one, three or more, which can also achieve the same effect.

[0032] Furthermore, one end of the restraint strap 31 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the fixing surface 11, and the other end is provided with Velcro 32 for fixing and removing the restraint strap 31. At the same time, the restraint strap 31 is long enough to accommodate different arm thicknesses. The design of the Velcro 32 allows for quick fixing and removal of the human arm during the turning process, which is very convenient and fast, greatly improving operational efficiency. In other embodiments, the fixing and removal of the restraint strap 31 is not limited to the Velcro 32, but can also be a buckle, zipper, strap, or button, which can achieve the same effect.

[0033] Furthermore, the hook side 321 of the Velcro 32 is disposed on the restraint strap 31, and the rough side 322 is disposed on the side end of the pillow 1. The reason for this structural design is that when the restraint strap 31 is used to fix the arm, only the side end of the pillow 1 is exposed, and both the fixing surface 11 and the guiding surface 12 are in contact with the human body and the bed. Therefore, the position of the rough side 322 is best and it is disposed on the side end of the pillow 1. Moreover, the area of ​​the rough side 322 on the side end of the pillow 1 is large enough to ensure that the hook side 321 and the rough side 322 can make full contact when dealing with different arm sizes. In some other embodiments, the hook side 321 of the Velcro 32 is disposed on the side end of the pillow 1, and the rough side 322 is disposed on the restraint strap 31, which can achieve the same effect.

[0034] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, the groove 21 of the headrest 2 is a trapezoidal groove with both ends connected. The structure design with both ends connected enhances the air circulation of the groove 21 when it faces the human face, allowing the patient to disperse facial pressure while ensuring unobstructed breathing even in a prone position, effectively preventing pressure sores and suffocation risks, and reducing discomfort. In other embodiments, the two sides of the groove 21 are not connected, and it is just a recessed groove, which can achieve the same effect. In this case, the trapezoidal structure design has the long side of the trapezoid facing the human face and the short side facing the bottom. This structure design makes the space facing the human face larger, further increasing the breathing space. In another embodiment, the groove 21 can also be rectangular, triangular, or circular, which can also achieve the above effect.

[0035] Furthermore, the headrest 2 has support parts 22 at both ends corresponding to the forehead and chin of the human face, and the mouth and nose corresponding to the groove 21. Since the groove 21 is a trapezoidal groove, and the support parts 22 at both ends of the groove 21 are also trapezoidal with the long side at the bottom and the short side at the top, this structural design allows the support parts to support the two parts of the human body more stably and is not easily deformed.

[0036] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, the pillow 1 includes a pillow core 13 and a pillowcase 14 that covers the pillow core 13. One end of the pillowcase 14 is provided with an opening 141 for inserting the pillow core 13 and a strap 142 for closing the opening 141. The structural design of the pillow core 13 and the pillowcase 14 allows the pillowcase 14 to be removed through the opening 141 for washing after prolonged use, avoiding direct soiling of the pillow core 13 and causing irreversible stains. In other embodiments, the pillow 1 is an integral structure that is not detachable, achieving the same effect. In other embodiments, the strap 142 is not limited to closing the opening 141; it can also be Velcro, buckles, zippers, or buttons, achieving the same effect.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is explained in detail below:

[0038] The turning pillow of this utility model, through a combination of structural design and ergonomics, enables patients to safely and effortlessly turn from a prone position to a supine position. Its working principle is as follows: First, the patient lies prone on the bed surface, and the fixing surface 11 of the body pillow 1 is placed against the front of the body. The groove 21 of the head pillow 2 corresponds to the face to provide a breathing channel. The restraint straps 31 on both sides of the body pillow 1 quickly secure the patient's arms using Velcro 32. The adjustability of the restraint straps 31 adapts to different body shapes, ensuring the body is stably fitted against the arc-shaped concave area of ​​the fixing surface 11 to prevent slippage. At this time, the guide surface 12 is in contact with the bed surface. The curved structure of the pillow 12 forms a mechanical fulcrum. By applying lateral force to the guide surface 12, the caregiver utilizes the leverage effect of the curved surface to shift the patient's center of gravity towards the target direction, thereby achieving turning over. The trapezoidal groove of the head pillow 3 keeps the breathing space unobstructed, and the support parts 33 at both ends firmly support the forehead and chin to avoid pressure on the face. The separate design of the body pillow 2 and the head pillow 3 facilitates flexible adjustment of the position, while the detachable structure of the pillowcase 24 and the pillow core 24 ensures convenient cleaning. The entire operation requires only a small amount of manpower. Through mechanical guidance, the physical exertion required for traditional turning over is greatly reduced, while ensuring patient comfort and safety.

[0039] The innovation of this utility model lies in providing an efficient, safe, and humane solution to address the shortcomings of traditional turning techniques. Firstly, the synergistic effect of the curved fixing surface of the headrest and the restraint straps achieves stable fixation of the patient's body, significantly reducing the risk of limb slippage during turning, decreasing reliance on multiple caregivers, and greatly improving nursing efficiency. Secondly, the trapezoidal groove and support design of the headrest ensures unobstructed breathing while dispersing facial pressure, effectively preventing pressure sores and suffocation risks, and improving patient comfort. Thirdly, the curved structure of the guiding surface utilizes the lever principle to transform the force applied by the caregiver into a smooth turning motion, reducing physical exertion and avoiding soft tissue injuries caused by improper operation. Fourthly, the modular design balances flexibility and adaptability; the detachable pillowcase and adjustable restraint straps further meet cleaning, maintenance, and personalized needs. The overall solution significantly optimizes the nursing experience while simplifying the operation process and ensuring safety, making it suitable for diverse medical scenarios.
