[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3. A lower limb care elevation pad for orthopedic patients includes a connecting frame 1 and mounting grooves 2 on both sides of the connecting frame 1. Airbag assemblies 3 are equidistantly installed in the mounting grooves 2. Each airbag assembly 3 includes several airbags 31 equidistantly fixedly installed in the mounting grooves 2. A placement block 32 is fixedly installed at the upper middle part of each airbag 31. Several anti-slip strips 33 are equidistantly fixedly installed on each placement block 32. A connecting groove 34 is formed between each pair of airbags 31. Each airbag 31 is fixedly installed with a fixing ring 35, and a movable plug 36 is slidably installed inside the fixing ring 35. Limiting rods 37 are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting groove 34. The two sides of the movable plug 36 are slidably connected to the limiting rods 37. A spring 38 is fixedly installed between the two side walls of the movable plug 36 and the inner wall of the airbag 31. An adjustment structure 4 is installed on the side of the connecting frame 1. An air pump 6 is fixedly installed inside the upper end of the connecting frame 1. The inflatable sizes of the multiple airbags 31 are arranged in the order shown on the right side of Figure 1.

[0023] In this embodiment: When using the device to elevate the patient's lower limbs, the device can first be placed at the end of the bed. During use, the patient's legs are first placed between the placement blocks 32 at the upper end of the airbag 31. The anti-slip band 33 prevents the patient's legs from sliding. Then, according to the elevation requirements, air pump 6 inflates the airbag 31. When inflating the airbag 31, the front airbag 31 fills with gas first. When the first airbag 31 is full, the excess gas pushes the movable plug 36 outwards. The plug 36 slides along the limiting rod 37, at which point the two adjacent airbags 31 are connected, and the gas in the first airbag 31 can flow into the second airbag 31 to inflate the second airbag 31. The air pump 6 is switched on and off according to the actual elevation needs, observing the expansion of the airbags 31. Once the appropriate height is reached, the air pump 6 is turned off to stop inflation. This lower limb care elevation pad for orthopedic patients can inflate multiple airbags 31 sequentially through the air pump 6, causing multiple airbags 31 to expand sequentially and elevate the legs. In actual use, it has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0024] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. Specifically, please refer to Figures 2-4. The adjustment structure 4 includes a fixing block 41 fixedly installed on the side of the connecting frame 1. The fixing block 41 has a cavity 42 inside. One end of the air pump 6 is connected to the cavity 42 and the air pump 6 inflates the fixing block 41.

[0025] The fixing block 41 has slots 43 on both sides. Both sides of the slots 43 are connected to the adjacent airbags 31 and connected to the connecting pipes 44. The slots 43 can be used to inflate the airbags 31 on both sides.

[0026] A housing 45 is fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the fixed block 41. A baffle 46 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the housing 45. The baffle 46 is slidably connected to the slot 43. The slot 43 can be switched between open and closed states by moving the baffle 46.

[0027] A connecting tube 2 5 is fixedly installed between multiple airbags 31. A movable tube 51 is slidably installed inside the connecting tube 2 5. Several sliding grooves 52 are equidistantly opened on the side wall of the connecting tube 2 5. Several piston sliders 53 are fixedly installed equidistantly on the outer periphery of the movable tube 51. The piston sliders 53 are slidably connected in the sliding grooves 52. The sliding grooves 52 can be adjusted to open or close by moving the piston sliders 53.

[0028] A telescopic block 54 is fixedly installed between the side wall of the piston slider 53 and the slide groove 52. A second spring 55 is fixedly installed between the side wall of the piston slider 53 and the slide groove 52. The second spring 55 is located inside the telescopic block 54. The second spring 55 is designed so that the piston slider 53 can be pushed to the state of blocking the slide groove 52 without external force.

[0029] In this embodiment: When using the device to elevate the patient's leg, the air pump 6 is activated to fill the cavity 42 with gas. The baffle 46 on the side to be elevated is pulled according to actual needs, connecting the cavity 42, the slot 43, and the connecting pipe 44. At this time, air can be inflated into the corresponding airbag 31 on the side to be elevated. The airbag 31 expands and rises as shown in Figure 1, raising it to the desired height. When elevation is not needed, the movable tube 51 can be pulled outwards. Pulling the movable tube 51 outwards causes the piston slider 53 to slide along the groove 52. When sliding, the telescopic block 54 and spring 55 on the side wall of the slide 52 retract. At this time, the side connecting pipe 5, the movable pipe 51 and the airbag 31 of the slide 52 are connected. The gas in the airbag 31 can flow out through the gap between the connecting pipe 5 and the movable pipe 51 to release the gas. When the device is in use, the airbag 31 on the side to be raised can be inflated by adjusting the mechanism 4. The airbags 31 can be inflated and expanded in sequence to raise the patient's leg. When it is necessary to release the gas, the movable pipe 51 can be pulled outward to automatically release the gas in multiple airbags 31 at the same time.
