[0002] In the care of patients who are bedridden for extended periods or are elderly and frail, pressure sores can easily develop due to prolonged pressure on certain parts of the body, leading to poor blood circulation and skin and tissue necrosis. This can affect the patient's treatment or recovery process. To reduce the burden on caregivers and prevent the occurrence of pressure sores, a turning assist pad is needed.
[0003] A turning pad is a nursing aid designed specifically for bedridden patients or people with limited mobility. It is mainly used to help them turn over safely and easily. In the past, U-shaped pads were usually sewn onto the assist pad. This method of installation and disassembly was cumbersome and inconvenient to replace or clean separately, which affected the patient's use. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a turning-over assist pad, including an assist pad body 1, a slide rail 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the assist pad body 1, a slide block 3 slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 2, a U-shaped pad 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide block 3, a U-shaped rod 5 slidably connected to the inside of the slide block 3, a round block 6 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the U-shaped rod 5, a tension spring 7 provided on the outer wall of the U-shaped rod 5, one end of the tension spring 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round block 6, the other end of the tension spring 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide block 3, a limit block 8 fixedly connected to the rear outer wall of the U-shaped rod 5, the outer wall of the limit block 8 slidably connected to the inside of the slide block 3 and the slide rail 2, an airbag 9 provided inside the U-shaped pad 4, and an air intake component provided inside the U-shaped pad 4;
[0025] Specifically, without external force driving the U-shaped rod 5, the tension of the spring 7 causes the round block 6 and the U-shaped rod 5 to move backward, allowing the rear outer wall of the U-shaped rod 5 and the limiting block 8 to slide into the interior of the slide rail 2, limiting the slide seat 3 and enabling the rapid installation of the U-shaped pad 4. The diameter of the limiting block 8 is larger than the diameter of the rod at the connection between the U-shaped rod 5 and the limiting block 8, and the slide seat 3 has a groove inside that matches the limiting block 8, facilitating the sliding of the U-shaped rod 5 and the limiting block 8 out of the interior of the slide rail 2 while simultaneously limiting the range of movement of the U-shaped rod 5 and the limiting block 8. Through the cooperation between the airbag 9 and the air intake assembly, simply pressing the airbag 9 inflates the U-shaped pad 4. The movement of the U-shaped rod 5 is offset by the interior of the slide seat 3. By making the slide rail 2, slide seat 3, U-shaped rod 5, round block 6, and limiting block 8 into rigid plastic, a certain degree of fixing strength is provided for the installation of the U-shaped pad 4, while avoiding excessively hard materials that could affect patient use.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 The intake assembly includes a one-way valve 10 and a vent valve 11. The outer wall of the one-way valve 10 is disposed inside the U-shaped pad 4, and the outer wall of the vent valve 11 is disposed inside the U-shaped pad 4.
[0027] Specifically, by providing matching valve caps at the valve ports of both the one-way valve 10 and the vent valve 11, the sealing performance of the U-shaped gasket 4 is improved. The one-way valve 10 allows air to enter but not exit. When air needs to be released, the valve cap of the vent valve 11 can be removed to release the air.
[0028] Reference Figure 4 The U-shaped pad 4 has an internal blocking strip 12, and the upper surface of the U-shaped pad 4 is fixedly connected with a Velcro 13; the upper surface of the Velcro 13 is provided with a Velcro 2 14, and the upper surface of the Velcro 2 14 is fixedly connected with a support pad 15; the support pad 15 is trapezoidal, and the outer wall of the support pad 15 is smooth.
[0029] Specifically, by setting two blocking strips 12 in the middle of the U-shaped pad 4, the U-shaped pad 4 is divided into three areas, which makes it easy to inflate the front and back sides or the middle of the U-shaped pad 4 separately. The cooperation between Velcro 13 and Velcro 2 14 makes it easy to quickly install and remove the support pad 15. The inclined surface of the support pad 15 makes it easier for the patient to turn over when the support pad 15 moves upward. In addition, the support pad 15 is set to be elastic to avoid the support pad 15 being too hard and causing injury to the patient.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The slide rail 2 has multiple grooves inside and is T-shaped; the inner wall of the slide block 3 fits against the outer wall of the slide rail 2; and the auxiliary pad body 1 has auxiliary belts around its perimeter.
[0031] Specifically, the slide rail 2 has multiple equidistant grooves inside, which makes it easy to adjust the position of the slide block 3 on the slide rail 2 without frequently moving the auxiliary pad. The auxiliary pad body 1 is provided with auxiliary straps around its perimeter, which can be connected to the patient when turning the patient over, so as to keep the auxiliary pad body 1 in the same position on the patient.
[0032] Working principle: When using this auxiliary pad, place the auxiliary pad body 1 under the patient, so that the U-shaped pad 4 and the support pad 15 fit the patient. Close the valve cap of the deflation valve 11, open the valve cap of the one-way valve 10, and press the air bag 9 to allow air to enter the interior of the U-shaped pad 4 through the one-way valve 10, thus facilitating the inflation of the U-shaped pad 4. With the cooperation between the Velcro 13 and Velcro 2 14, the support pad 15 is installed. The U-shaped pad 4 and the support pad 15 hold the patient in place, assisting the patient in turning over. The blocking strip 12 divides the interior of the U-shaped pad 4 into three areas, and each of the three areas is equipped with an air bag 9, a one-way valve 10, and a deflation valve 11, which facilitates inflation of one side of the U-shaped pad 4, making it convenient for the patient to turn over.
[0033] When it is necessary to remove the U-shaped pad 4, the U-shaped rod 5 is pulled, which moves the round block 6 forward and stretches the tension spring 7. The U-shaped rod 5 then drives the limiting block 8 to slide forward, so that the rear side of the U-shaped rod 5 and the outer wall of the limiting block 8 slide out of the interior of the slide rail 2. The slide seat 3 is no longer limited, making it easy to push the slide seat 3 to slide on the outer wall of the slide rail 2. The U-shaped pad 4 and the slide seat 3 can then be removed for easy cleaning or replacement. During use, this auxiliary pad not only allows for quick installation and removal of the U-shaped pad 4, improving the flexibility of nursing care, but also provides assistance through the support pad 15, making it easier for the patient to turn over.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
