Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inflatable mattress technology, and in particular discloses an inflatable mattress with a turning function to prevent bedsores. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of medical care and long-term bedridden patient care, the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers has always been a crucial issue that urgently needs to be addressed. Pressure ulcers are a condition caused by prolonged pressure on local tissues, leading to impaired blood circulation, which in turn causes tissue ischemia, hypoxia, and malnutrition, ultimately resulting in ulceration and necrosis of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The incidence of pressure ulcers is high among long-term bedridden and immobile patients, such as the elderly, paralyzed patients, and intensive care patients. These ulcers not only cause significant physical suffering, increase the risk of infection, and prolong hospital stays, but also increase the economic burden on families and society.

[0003] Traditional methods for preventing bedsores mainly include regularly turning patients over and using ordinary mattresses and foam pads. However, these methods have many limitations. Regular turning requires frequent intervention from caregivers, which is labor-intensive and makes it difficult to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of turning, especially at night or when there are insufficient caregivers. Patients may remain in the same position for extended periods, leading to prolonged pressure on local tissues and increasing the risk of bedsores. While ordinary mattresses and foam pads can reduce pressure on the body and bed surface to some extent, they lack active pressure distribution and regulation mechanisms and cannot dynamically adjust according to the patient's body posture and pressure conditions. Therefore, they cannot fundamentally solve the problem of pressure on local tissues. This paper proposes an air-filled mattress with a turning function to prevent bedsores. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an air mattress with a turning function to prevent bedsores.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an air mattress with a turning function to prevent bedsores, comprising an air mattress; the air mattress is provided with a turning component, the turning component including a second mattress body disposed on the air mattress, the second mattress body including a bladder area, the bladder area being used to inflate and prevent the person being carried from turning over.

[0006] Preferably, the second pad is provided with a connector, and the second pad is set on the air cushion through the connector, which plays the role of firmly connecting the second pad to the air cushion. This allows the turning component to be stably installed on the air cushion and will not easily shift or shake during use. This achieves a reliable combination between the turning component and the air cushion, ensuring the normal operation of the turning function on the air cushion and ensuring the safety and stability of the patient's turning process.

[0007] Preferably, there are two turning components, positioned on both sides of the air cushion's width. The air cushion area is arc-shaped, with the arc of the two ends furthest apart being greater than the arc of the ends closest together. The two turning components, positioned on opposite sides of the air cushion's width, can simultaneously apply force to both sides of the patient's body, facilitating a smoother and more effective turning motion. The arc-shaped air cushion area, with the arc of the furthest end being greater than the arc of the closest end, allows the air cushion to better conform to the body's curves during inflation. This enables more even pressure distribution when turning the patient, preventing excessive local pressure and discomfort. This achieves lateral assistance for turning and improves patient comfort during the turning process, enhancing the rationality and effectiveness of the turning operation.

[0008] Preferably, the width at both ends of the sac area along its length is no greater than the width at the middle of the sac area. This design, where the width at both ends is no greater than the width at the middle, allows the wider middle section to store more gas and provide stronger support during inflation, while the relatively narrower ends can more accurately target the area that needs to be turned when in contact with the patient's body, reducing interference with other areas. This achieves the effect of concentrating force to assist in turning and accurately locating the turning area, making the turning action more efficient and accurate.

[0009] Preferably, the second pad has a chamfer. The chamfer can prevent the second pad from having overly sharp edges when it comes into contact with the patient's body, thus preventing abrasions or pressure injuries to the patient's body. This reduces potential harm to the patient's body, improves the safety of the air cushion, and makes the patient feel more at ease during use.

[0010] Preferably, the second pad is provided with a valve that communicates with the sac area. The valve controls the inflation and deflation of the sac area. By opening or closing the valve, the inflation volume of the sac area can be precisely adjusted, thereby controlling the height of the sac area and the magnitude of the pushing and supporting force generated. This allows for flexible adjustment of the turning force and effect according to different patient needs and usage scenarios.

[0011] Preferably, the second pad is also provided with a limiting component, which can limit the position of the second pad or related components, prevent them from excessive displacement or shaking on the air cushion, ensure the stability of the turning component during use, and achieve the effect of ensuring the stable operation of the turning function and the safety and stability of the patient's turning process.

[0012] Preferably, the second pad is also provided with a protruding member, which is located at the chamfer. The limiting member is set on the protruding member. The protruding member provides a structural basis for setting the limiting member. By setting the limiting member on the protruding member, the positional characteristics of the protruding member are utilized to better limit the second pad. On the other hand, this structural design makes the installation of the limiting member more reasonable and stable, achieving more precise and effective restriction of the position of the second pad and further improving the stability of the turning component.

[0013] Preferably, the air cushion includes a first cushion body, which has multiple first grooves arranged in an array. The array of first grooves can increase the air cushion's breathability, allowing air to circulate better within the air cushion and preventing localized stuffiness and dampness. At the same time, the arrangement of the first grooves can also reduce the weight of the air cushion to a certain extent, making it easier to carry and use. This achieves the effect of improving the air cushion's breathability and portability, and helps to improve the patient's comfort.

[0014] Preferably, the first pad body also has a strip-shaped second groove for carrying by hand.

[0015] Preferably, the second groove is located at the four corners of the first pad and at the middle of its length. By placing the second groove at the four corners of the first pad and at the middle of its length, the second groove provides a suitable point of leverage and space for handling when the air cushion needs to be moved. People can insert their fingers into the groove to grasp the air cushion more firmly and conveniently, avoiding slippage during handling. The presence of the groove reduces the amount of material used in the first pad to a certain extent, reducing the overall weight of the air cushion and making it easier to handle and move. It also reduces the pressure of the air cushion on the patient's body.

[0016] Preferably, the first pad body is also provided with strip-shaped members, which are made of elastic material and are located at the four corners of the first pad body. The elastic material strip-shaped members can be positioned on the external bed body.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention: The second pad and its bladder area in the turning component mounted on the air mattress play a crucial role in turning the person over by inflating it to support their body. When the bladder area inflates, it generates a pushing and supporting force on the body of the person lying on the air mattress, precisely targeting the parts of the body that need to be turned, thus assisting the person in completing the turning action. This function is of great significance for patients who are bedridden for a long time, because maintaining the same posture for a long time will cause continuous pressure on local tissues, obstruct blood circulation, and easily lead to bedsores. Furthermore, this turning component can also adjust the bladder area periodically or as needed. Inflatable mattresses help patients periodically change the contact points between their body and the bed, allowing pressure points to be relieved and relaxed in a timely manner. This method of turning over is also gentler and smoother than manual turning, avoiding pain and discomfort caused by improper manual operation. This effectively prevents bedsores, significantly reducing the incidence of this common bedridden complication, alleviating patient suffering and the burden of subsequent treatment, and improving patient comfort in bed. It also allows patients to have a better rest and sleep experience during bed rest, which is conducive to the patient's physical recovery and overall health improvement. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an air mattress with a turning function to prevent bedsores, comprising an air mattress 1; the air mattress 1 is provided with a turning component 2, the turning component 2 including a second pad body 21 provided on the air mattress 1, the second pad body 21 including a bladder area 22, the bladder area 22 being used to inflate and prevent the person being carried from turning over.

[0027] Specifically, the second pad 21 and its sac area 22 in the turning component 2, located on the air mattress 1, play a crucial role in enabling turning over by inflating and supporting the person on the mattress. When the sac area 22 inflates, it provides pushing and supporting force to the body of the person lying on the air mattress, precisely targeting the parts of the body that need to be turned, thus assisting the person in completing the turning action. This function is of great significance for patients who are bedridden for a long time, because maintaining the same posture for a long time will cause continuous pressure on local tissues, obstruct blood circulation, and easily lead to bedsores. The turning component can also adjust the sac area 22 by timed adjustments or as needed. Inflatable bed repositioning helps patients periodically change the contact points between their body and the bed surface, allowing pressure points to be relieved and relaxed in a timely manner. Compared to manual repositioning, this method is gentler and smoother, avoiding pain and discomfort caused by improper manual operation. This effectively prevents bedsores, significantly reducing the incidence of this common bedridden complication, alleviating patient suffering and the burden of subsequent treatment, and improving patient comfort. It also enhances the patient's rest and sleep experience during bed rest, contributing to the patient's recovery and overall health improvement.

[0028] Specifically, the second pad 21 is provided with a connector 24, and the second pad 21 is set on the air cushion 1 via the connector 24, which plays the role of firmly connecting the second pad 21 to the air cushion 1, so that the turning component 2 can be stably installed on the air cushion 1, and will not easily shift or shake during use. This achieves the effect of reliable connection between the turning component 2 and the air cushion 1, ensuring the normal operation of the turning function on the air cushion, and ensuring the safety and stability of the patient's turning process.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connector 24 is knitted onto the second pad 21.

[0030] Specifically, in the second embodiment, the connector 24 can be disposed on the air cushion 1 via Velcro, and the air cushion 1 is provided with a groove for accommodating the Velcro, the thickness of the groove being not less than the thickness of the Velcro.

[0031] Specifically, there are two turning components 2, which are located on both sides of the air cushion 1 in the width direction. The bladder area 22 is arc-shaped, and the curvature of the ends of the two bladder areas 22 that are far apart is greater than the curvature of the ends that are close together. The two turning components 2 are located on both sides of the air cushion 1 in the width direction, which can apply force to both sides of the patient's body at the same time, which helps to achieve the turning action more smoothly and effectively. The bladder area 22 is arc-shaped, and the curvature of the ends that are far apart is greater than that of the ends that are close together, so that the bladder area 22 can better conform to the curve of the human body when inflated. When pushing the patient to turn over, it can distribute the pressure more evenly and avoid excessive local pressure causing discomfort to the patient. It achieves the effect of synergistic assistance from both sides to turn over and improves the patient's comfort during the turning process, thereby improving the rationality and effectiveness of the turning operation.

[0032] Specifically, the two turning components are set symmetrically.

[0033] Specifically, the width at both ends of the sac area 22 along its length is no greater than the width at the middle of the sac area 22. This design, where the width at both ends is no greater than the width at the middle, allows the wider middle section to store more gas and provide stronger support during inflation. The relatively narrower ends, on the other hand, can more accurately target the area that needs to be turned when in contact with the patient's body, reducing interference with other areas. This achieves the effect of concentrating force to assist in turning and accurately locating the turning area, making the turning action more efficient and accurate.

[0034] Specifically, the second pad 21 has a chamfer 25. The chamfer 25 can prevent the second pad 21 from having overly sharp edges when in contact with the patient's body, thus preventing abrasions or pressure injuries to the patient's body. This reduces potential harm to the patient's body, improves the safety of the air cushion, and makes the patient feel more at ease during use.

[0035] Specifically, the second pad 21 is equipped with a valve 23 that communicates with the sac area 22. The valve 23 controls the inflation and deflation of the sac area 22. By opening or closing the valve 23, the inflation amount of the sac area 22 can be precisely adjusted, thereby controlling the height of the sac area 22 and the magnitude of the pushing and supporting force generated. This allows for flexible adjustment of the turning force and effect according to different patient needs and usage scenarios.

[0036] Specifically, the second pad 21 is also provided with a limiting member 27. The limiting member 27 can limit the position of the second pad 21 or related components, preventing them from excessive displacement or shaking on the air cushion 1, ensuring the stability of the turning component 2 during use, and achieving the effect of ensuring the stable operation of the turning function and the safety and stability of the patient's turning process.

[0037] Specifically, the second pad 21 is also provided with a protruding member 26, which is located at the chamfer 25. The limiting member 27 is provided on the protruding member 26. The provision of the protruding member 26 increases the structural basis for the setting of the limiting member 27. By setting the limiting member 27 on the protruding member 26, on the one hand, the positional characteristics of the protruding member 26 are used to better limit the second pad 21. On the other hand, this structural design makes the installation of the limiting member 27 more reasonable and stable, achieving more precise and effective restriction of the position of the second pad 21, and further improving the stability of the turning component 2.

[0038] Specifically, the air cushion 1 includes a first cushion body 11, which has multiple first grooves 12 arranged in an array. The array of first grooves 12 can increase the breathability of the air cushion 1, allowing air to circulate better within the air cushion 1 and avoiding local stuffiness and dampness. At the same time, the arrangement of the first grooves 12 can also reduce the weight of the air cushion 1 to a certain extent, making it easier to carry and use. This achieves the effect of improving the breathability and portability of the air cushion 1, which helps to improve the comfort of patients.

[0039] Specifically, in the second embodiment, a first ring body 28 is provided on the first pad body 11, the first ring body 28 extends beyond the second groove body 13, and a second ring body 29 is rotatably provided on the first ring body 28, the second ring body 29 is provided with an annular gripping groove.

[0040] Specifically, the first ring 28 is adhered to the external adhesive through the first pad 11 in an inflated state.

[0041] Specifically, the first pad 11 also has a strip-shaped second groove 13, which is used for carrying.

[0042] Specifically, the second groove 13 is located at the four corners of the first pad 11 and at the middle of its length. By placing the second groove 13 at the four corners of the first pad 11 and at the middle of its length, the second groove 13 provides a suitable point of leverage and space for carrying when the air cushion 1 needs to be moved or moved. People can insert their fingers into the groove to grasp the air cushion more firmly and conveniently, avoiding slippage during transportation. The presence of the groove reduces the amount of material used in the first pad 11 to a certain extent, reducing the overall weight of the air cushion 1, making it easier to move and transport the air cushion 1, and also reducing the pressure of the air cushion on the patient's body.

[0043] Specifically, the first pad 11 is also provided with a third groove 15. The length direction of the third groove 15 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second groove 13. There are two third grooves 15 and they are located in the middle of the length direction of the first pad 11.

[0044] Specifically, the first pad body 11 is also provided with strips 14, which are made of elastic material and are located at the four corners of the first pad body 11. The elastic material strips 14 can be positioned on the external bed frame.
