Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 The image shows an automatic towel changing device, comprising a support 1 with a concave structure. A first groove 2 is formed on the right side of the inner wall of the support 1, communicating with the upper surface of the support 1. A movable block 21 is disposed within the first groove 2, extending from its left side toward the inner end of the support 1. A rotating rod 22 is fixedly disposed on the right side of the movable block 21 along its front and rear surfaces, with one end of the rotating rod 22 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove. This allows the movable block 21 to rotate within the groove via the rotating rod 22. A sleeve 23 is rotatably disposed on the left side of the movable block 21, with one end extending toward the left side of the inner wall of the support 1. A treatment cloth 24 is then fitted onto the outer surface of the sleeve 23.

[0030] In the above embodiment, by providing a rotating sleeve 23, one end of the treatment cloth 24 can be connected to the sleeve 23. After connection, the other end of the treatment cloth 24 is laid on the examination bed, and the patient can then lie on the treatment cloth 24. When the treatment cloth 24 needs to be replaced, simply rotate the sleeve 23 to roll up the used treatment cloth 24. In addition, since the sleeve 23 is fixed on the movable block 21, and the movable block 21 is rotatably connected to the slot, the sleeve 23 can be rotated when removing the dirty treatment cloth 24 or installing the clean treatment cloth 24, so that it can rotate from a horizontal state to a vertical state. This design makes it more convenient to replace the treatment cloth 24 or treatment towel in the future.

[0031] Furthermore, a ring-shaped stop 25 is fixedly installed on the right side of the outer wall of the sleeve 23. The main function of the stop 25 is to restrict the movement of the treatment towel. This design allows the treatment towel to be stably positioned in the middle and left side of the sleeve 23. For example, when the sleeve 23 is rotated to a vertical position, the stop 25 provides support, helping to maintain the rolled-up state of the treatment towel, thus facilitating subsequent removal. The ingenious design of the stop 25 allows it to play a dual role in the rolling and unrolling process of the treatment towel. When the sleeve 23 is in a horizontal state, the stop 25 restricts the position of the treatment towel in the sleeve 23, while when the sleeve 23 is rotated to a vertical state, the stop 25 stably supports the rolled-up treatment towel, making the subsequent removal of the treatment towel more convenient.

[0032] Furthermore, to facilitate the rotation of the movable block 21, one end of the rotating rod 22 extends toward the front surface of the bracket 1, and a handle 26 is provided at the outer end of a portion of the rotating rod 22 extending to the bracket 1. The user can then rotate the rotating rod 22 by turning the handle 26, thereby causing the movable block 21 to move.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a second slot 3, opposite to the first slot 2, is formed on the left side of the inner wall of the bracket 1. One end of the second slot 3 is connected to the left side of the bracket 1. A mounting plate 31 is slidably mounted on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the second slot 3. A motor 32 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 31. The drive shaft of the motor 32 is positioned opposite to the sleeve 23. A cross shaft 33 is mounted on the drive shaft of the motor 32. A cross groove 231, matching the cross shaft 33, is formed at the end of the sleeve 23 facing the motor 32. Thus, when the mounting plate... When motor 31 drives motor 32 to move left and right, the cross shaft 33 on motor 32 can move closer to or further away from the cross groove 231 on sleeve 23. When it moves closer, the cross shaft 33 can be inserted into the cross groove 231 in sleeve 23. After insertion, it is convenient for motor 32 to drive sleeve 23 to rotate, so as to automatically roll up the treatment cloth 24. Similarly, when the cross shaft 33 moves away from the cross groove 231, it is convenient to rotate sleeve 23 from horizontal to vertical, which is convenient for the treatment cloth 24 on sleeve 23 to be replaced later.

[0034] Furthermore, a telescopic rod 4 is provided on the front surface of the bracket 1. The telescopic rod 4 is either a hydraulic cylinder or an electric telescopic rod 4, and the telescopic rod 4 body extends to the left. Subsequently, an L-shaped connecting block 41 is provided along the telescopic rod 4 body. One end of the connecting block 41 is connected to the motor 32. This allows the telescopic rod 4 to drive the motor 32 to move left and right through the connecting block 41 when it is telescopic. This facilitates the automatic alignment of the cross shaft 33 of the motor 32 with the cross groove 231 on the sleeve 23.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a groove 5 is linearly formed on the top surface of the sleeve 23. At least two sliders 51 are slidably arranged in the groove 5. The upper ends of the sliders 51 extend upwards towards the top of the sleeve 23. A connecting piece 52 is provided on the upper end face of the slider 51. The connecting piece 52 is adapted to the outer wall of the sleeve 23. A connecting part 53 is provided on the upper surface of the connecting piece 52. The connecting part 53 is mainly used to fix the treatment cloth 24. For example, when it is necessary to fix one end of the treatment cloth 24 to the sleeve 23, it can be limited by the connecting part 53. After the treatment cloth 24 is fixed, it is convenient for the subsequent winding work. Since the connecting piece 52 is slidably arranged above the sleeve 23, the position of the connecting part 53 can be adjusted according to the width of the treatment cloth, which is convenient for adapting to treatment cloths of different widths.

[0036] In addition, to facilitate the fixation of the treatment cloth 24, the connecting part 53 is specifically a double-sided adhesive or a magnet. When one end of the user needs to be connected to the sleeve 23, the treatment cloth can be limited and fixed by the double-sided adhesive or the magnet.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one remote control 6 is also provided at the bracket 1. The remote control 6 connects and controls the telescopic rod 4 and the motor 32 via infrared. This allows users to easily control the opening and closing of the telescopic rod 4 and the motor 32 via the remote control 6. The remote control 6 sends commands via infrared signals. The embedded systems of the telescopic rod 4 and the motor 32 are equipped with infrared receivers, which can receive and interpret the signals sent by the remote control 6, thereby executing the corresponding actions. This design allows users to easily operate the telescopic part of the bracket 1 and the motor 32.

[0038] Furthermore, the support 1 can adopt a frame-shaped rectangular structure. This design brings some advantages. Compared with the concave structure, the frame-shaped support 1 can provide better strength and stability, while the concave structure support 1 can achieve a lightweight design and reduce the weight of the overall structure. In addition, the concave support 1 can be placed directly at the foot of the bed. When rolling up the treatment towel, it can prevent dirt on the treatment towel from contacting the support 1, thereby avoiding the need for regular cleaning of the support 1 later.

[0039] The following is the specific workflow of this utility model:

[0040] First, securely connect one end of the treatment towel to the outer wall of the sleeve 23. During connection, a reliable connection is achieved through the connecting part 53 on the outer wall of the sleeve 23, ensuring a firm bond between the treatment towel and the sleeve 23. Then, the doctor lays the other end of the treatment towel flat on the examination bed to provide the patient with a comfortable lying environment.

[0041] After the treatment towel is used up, the doctor can control the operation of the motor 32 through the remote control 6. The motor 32 will drive the sleeve 23 to rotate. Since one end of the treatment towel is connected to the sleeve 23, the rotation of the sleeve 23 will effectively roll up the dirty treatment towel.

[0042] Finally, once the treatment towel is fully rolled up, the controller moves the motor 32 away from the sleeve 23. At this point, the doctor can straighten the sleeve 23 and remove the rolled-up treatment towel from the sleeve 23. This process can be simplified by the coordinated action of the remote controller 6 and the controller, improving the ease of use and efficiency of the treatment equipment.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments within the technical scope disclosed in this application, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
