Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a body turning device. Background Technology

[0002] As the global population ages, the number of disabled and semi-disabled individuals is also increasing. These individuals often experience limitations in their ability to turn over due to declining physical function or illness. For example, paralyzed patients who are bedridden for extended periods may experience pressure on specific areas of their body, hindering blood circulation and leading to serious health problems such as bedsores. Statistics show that bedridden patients have a higher probability of developing bedsores, which not only cause physical pain but also increase the risk of infection and prolong recovery time.

[0003] The aforementioned application, but the existing devices in the prior art, are time-consuming and laborious when turning over and changing clothes for the elderly. Without complicated operations, we propose a turning device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, embodiments of this utility model provide a turning device, which solves the problem in related technologies that turning the elderly is time-consuming and laborious, and does not require complicated operations.

[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present invention provides a turning device, including a chest inflatable cushion, a first Velcro fastener fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the chest inflatable cushion, a waist inflatable cushion provided on the rear side of the chest inflatable cushion, and a second Velcro fastener fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the waist inflatable cushion.

[0006] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, the turning device further includes: a buttock inflatable pad is provided on the rear side of the waist inflatable pad, and a third Velcro is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the buttock inflatable pad. The above design is beneficial to the patient to make an arc movement when the buttock inflatable pad makes an arc movement, thereby completing the turning.

[0007] An air pump is provided on the side of the waist inflatable pad, and an air supply pipe is fixedly inserted through the side of the air pump. This design facilitates the inflation of the chest inflatable pad, waist inflatable pad, and buttock inflatable pad by the staff.

[0008] The side cross-section of the chest inflatable pad is set to an arc shape. This design makes it easier for the user to turn over when the chest inflatable pad is fully inflated.

[0009] The side cross-section of the inflatable buttock pad is designed in the shape of a mountain, which allows the central column to be laid flat or erected according to the patient's needs.

[0010] The chest, waist, and hip air pads are made of double-layered, air-proof material. This design helps prevent air leakage after the chest, waist, and hip air pads are fully inflated.

[0011] The upper material of the chest inflatable pad, waist inflatable pad, and hip inflatable pad is less than 1 / 4 the size of the lower material. This design helps to give the chest inflatable pad, waist inflatable pad, and hip inflatable pad better sealing.

[0012] The chest, waist, and hip inflatable pads are all equipped with air inlet valves on their circumferential surfaces. This design facilitates the inflation of the chest, waist, and hip inflatable pads by staff.

[0013] The first, second, and third hook and loop fasteners are made of polyester fiber, a design that provides excellent elasticity and resilience. When the hook and loop fasteners are torn open, the polyester fiber hook side quickly returns to its original shape for easy re-fastening.

[0014] The side cross-section of the inflatable waist pad is set to an arc shape, which makes it easier to fit the user's waist.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model utilizes components such as a chest inflatable pad, a first Velcro strap, a waist inflatable pad, a second Velcro strap, a hip inflatable pad, and a third Velcro strap in cooperation to allow caregivers to place the user's legs inside the hip inflatable pad. Simultaneously, the user's waist and back of the chest contact the inner walls of the chest and waist inflatable pads. At this time, the air supply tube enters the air inlet valves located on the circumference of the chest, waist, and hip inflatable pads, and the air pump is activated. When the user needs to be turned over or changed, caregivers do not need to exert effort to turn the user. The operation is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the chest inflatable cushion, the first Velcro, the waist inflatable cushion, the second Velcro, the buttock inflatable cushion, the third Velcro, the air pump, and the air supply tube work together to enable the staff to push the buttock inflatable cushion to make it move in an arc, while at the same time the patient's buttocks and legs make arc movements, so that the patient's whole body makes arc movements. When the movement reaches a certain angle, the caregiver can carry out the work process of changing clothes and patting the back. When the chest inflatable cushion, waist inflatable cushion, and buttock inflatable cushion need to be used, they can be easily operated to make them inflated quickly. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a turning device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, including a chest inflatable cushion 1, a first Velcro 2 fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the chest inflatable cushion 1, a waist inflatable cushion 3 provided on the rear side of the chest inflatable cushion 1, and a second Velcro 4 fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the waist inflatable cushion 3.

[0030] In some examples, the design also includes: a hip inflatable pad 5 is provided on the rear side of the lumbar inflatable pad 3, and a third Velcro 6 is fixedly connected to the circumference of the hip inflatable pad 5. The above design is beneficial to the hip inflatable pad 5 making arc movements, thereby driving the patient to make arc movements and complete the turning over.

[0031] An air pump 7 is provided on the side of the waist inflatable pad 3, and an air supply pipe 8 is fixedly passed through the side of the air pump 7. The above design makes it convenient for staff to inflate the chest inflatable pad 1, waist inflatable pad 3, and buttock inflatable pad 5 when they need to inflate them.

[0032] The side cross-section of the chest inflatable pad 1 is set to be arc-shaped. This design makes it easier for the user to turn over when the chest inflatable pad 1 is fully inflated.

[0033] The side cross-section of the buttock inflatable cushion 5 is set in a mountain shape. This design allows the central column to be laid flat or erected according to the patient's needs.

[0034] The chest air cushion 1, waist air cushion 3, and hip air cushion 5 are made of double-layered air-proof material. This design helps to prevent air leakage when the chest air cushion 1, waist air cushion 3, and hip air cushion 5 are fully inflated.

[0035] The upper material of the chest inflatable cushion 1, waist inflatable cushion 3, and hip inflatable cushion 5 is less than 1 / 4 the size of the lower material. This design helps the chest inflatable cushion 1, waist inflatable cushion 3, and hip inflatable cushion 5 to have better sealing.

[0036] The chest inflatable pad 1, waist inflatable pad 3, and hip inflatable pad 5 are all equipped with air inlet valves on their circumferences. This design facilitates the inflation of the chest inflatable pad 1, waist inflatable pad 3, and hip inflatable pad 5 by staff.

[0037] The first hook and loop fastener 2, the second hook and loop fastener 4, and the third hook and loop fastener 6 are made of polyester fiber. This design allows for good elastic recovery. When the hook and loop fasteners are torn open, the polyester fiber hook side can quickly return to its original shape for the next application.

[0038] The side cross-section of the lumbar inflatable cushion 3 is set in an arc shape, which facilitates a close fit to the user's waist.

[0039] For example, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, when caregivers need to turn over or change clothes for the user, they place the user's legs inside the buttocks inflatable cushion 5, while simultaneously ensuring the user's waist and back of the chest are in contact with the inner walls of the chest inflatable cushion 1 and waist inflatable cushion 3. At this time, the air supply tube 8 is inserted into the air inlet valves located on the circumference of the chest inflatable cushion 1, waist inflatable cushion 3, and buttocks inflatable cushion 5. Simultaneously, the air pump 7 is activated, allowing air to enter the interior of the chest inflatable cushion 1, waist inflatable cushion 3, and buttocks inflatable cushion 5 through the air supply tube 8, causing them to inflate. After inflation is complete, the patient is secured using the first Velcro 2, second Velcro 4, and third Velcro 6 fixed to the circumference of the chest inflatable cushion 1, waist inflatable cushion 3, and buttocks inflatable cushion 5. Finally, the caregiver pushes the buttocks inflatable cushion 5, causing it to move in an arc, while simultaneously causing the patient's buttocks and legs to move in an arc, thus causing the patient's entire body to move in an arc. Once the movement reaches a certain angle, the caregiver proceeds with the changing of clothes and back patting procedures.

[0040] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.
