Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices, specifically to a buttock-lifting air cushion for defecation in bed. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical practice, patients who need to elevate their hips due to their condition (e.g., patients with premature rupture of membranes, patients undergoing treatment for cervical insufficiency who need to maintain an elevated hip position, and patients who need to adopt this position to promote recovery after certain surgeries) face the need to defecate in bed. In these cases, the bedpan becomes particularly important as an auxiliary tool for defecation.

[0003] When using a bedpan, the patient (if their physical condition permits) or a caregiver needs to lift their buttocks and then accurately place the bedpan under their buttocks, ensuring the opening of the bedpan is aligned with the patient's excretory opening. The main problem with existing bedpans is that they cannot effectively maintain the patient's buttocks elevated, which may disrupt the treatment position and affect the patient's recovery process. Furthermore, bedpans are typically made of hard plastic, which can cause discomfort due to pressure on the skin after prolonged use. They are also prone to sliding or tipping over when the patient moves, leading to soiled sheets. Soiled sheets not only increase the cleaning workload for caregivers, requiring more time and effort to change and wash them, but also become a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the patient's risk of infection.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a device suitable for the above-mentioned patient groups that allows for defecation in bed in a more stable, comfortable, and easy-to-clean manner is a technical problem that has not yet been solved in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0039] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] This embodiment provides a hip-elevating air cushion for defecating in bed, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes: an air cushion body 1, a receiving bag 2, an air supply pipe 4, and an air pump 5; wherein, the air cushion body 1 has a receiving cavity 11 inside, an upper-opening mounting cavity 12 on the top surface, and a fixing seat 13 at the bottom; the air cushion body 1, after being inflated, becomes wedge-shaped, with a buttock receiving area 14 on one side of its top surface for accommodating the buttocks; and a leg receiving area 15 on the other side of its top surface for accommodating both legs; the receiving bag 2 is detachably installed in the mounting cavity 12 via a zipper structure 3; one end of the air supply pipe 4 is connected to the receiving cavity 11, and the other end extends outward; the inflation end of the air pump 5 is connected to the other end of the air supply pipe 4, and air can be input into the receiving cavity 11 by operating the air pump 5; in the initial state, the air cushion body 1 is in a flat state; in use, the air pump 5 supplies air into the receiving cavity 11, which can inflate the air cushion body 1 into shape.

[0041] When using the buttock-elevating air cushion for defecation in bed according to this embodiment, first connect the air supply tube 4 to the inflation end of the air pump 5, and start the air pump 5 to inflate the receiving cavity 11, so that the air cushion body 1 expands to the desired shape; then, use the zipper structure 3 to firmly fix the receiving bag 2 inside the mounting cavity 12; next, put a garbage bag on the air cushion body 1, and let part of the garbage bag enter the interior of the receiving bag 2, and fit the entire garbage bag against the outer surface of the air cushion body 1, and fix the edge of the garbage bag to the fixing seat 13; when using, place the air cushion body 1 correctly under the patient, adjust the position so that the position of the receiving bag 2 is accurately aligned with the excretion area of ​​the patient's buttocks; after defecation, remove the air cushion body 1 from under the patient, untie the garbage bag and close its opening, then remove the receiving bag 2 to dispose of the excrement, and finally clean and disinfect the receiving bag 2 for the next use. The buttock-elevating air cushion of this embodiment, used for defecation in bed, can maintain the patient's buttocks in an elevated position at all times when inflated. In addition, the air cushion is made of soft rubber, which can improve the user's comfort and is easy to clean and manage. Its large size and weight make the buttock-elevating air cushion of this embodiment less likely to move or tip over, with better stability, less likely to stain the bed sheets, and can also reduce the patient's potential risk of infection.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the top outer periphery of the fixing base 13 is provided with an annular groove 16 and an elastic ring that can be elastically placed within the annular groove 16; the annular groove 16 and the elastic ring can close and fix the lower opening of the garbage bag fitted on the air cushion body 1. The design of the annular groove 16 provides a clear fixing point for the garbage bag; by using an elastic band fitted on the outer wall of the garbage bag, the lower opening of the garbage bag is fitted and closed within the annular groove 16; this fixing method is simple and effective, and can ensure the stability of the garbage bag.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing base 13 has a channel hole 17 communicating with the mounting cavity 12; it also includes an air extraction pipe 6, one end of which extends into the mounting cavity 12 along the channel hole 17 and communicates with the bottom of the receiving bag 2, and the other end extends to the outside of the channel hole 17, suitable for connecting to the suction end of the air pump 5. In use, the air extraction pipe 6 is connected to an air extraction device, and the air inside the receiving bag 2 is extracted through the air extraction pipe 6, thereby creating a negative pressure environment between the inside of the receiving bag 2 and the garbage bag; this negative pressure environment allows the garbage bag to be tightly fixed inside the receiving bag 2 and will not slip or shift.

[0044] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the air cushion body 1 is provided with a venting end 7 that communicates with the receiving cavity 11, and a sealing cap 8 is screwed onto the venting end 7. The anti-slip texture design on the outer wall of the sealing cap 8 makes it easier for users to operate the sealing cap 8, preventing it from slipping and improving the convenience of use.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the zipper structure 3 includes: a first zipper tooth 31, a second zipper tooth 32, and a zipper head 33; wherein, the first zipper tooth 31 is disposed on the top outer periphery of the mounting cavity 12; the second zipper tooth 32 is disposed on the top outer periphery of the receiving bag 2 opposite to the first zipper tooth 31; the zipper head 33 is movably threaded through the first zipper tooth 31, and pulling the zipper head 33 can engage or disengage the first zipper tooth 31 and the second zipper tooth 32 to fix or remove the receiving bag 2. The zipper structure 3 makes it easy to install and remove the receiving bag 2; the receiving bag adopts a seamless internal design, which can completely eliminate hygiene dead corners, facilitate cleaning after disassembly, reduce the risk of patient infection, and improve the convenience and hygiene of use.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the fixing base 13 is provided with anti-slip stripes 9, which are evenly distributed laterally to prevent the air cushion body 1 from sliding during use.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the mounting cavity 12 is fused and fixed to the bottom inner wall of the air cushion body 1. This ensures that the mounting cavity 12 will not bulge outward after air is injected into the receiving cavity 11.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the fixed base 13 is provided with an inflation end 10, which is connected to the receiving cavity 11, and the other end is connected to the air supply pipe 4.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air pump 5 has a switch button 51 on its front side for controlling the start and stop of the air pump 5; and a speed control knob 52 for adjusting the speed at which air is injected into the receiving cavity 11, thereby controlling the speed at which the air cushion body 1 lifts the patient as it continuously expands; the air pump 5 has a power connection cable 53 on its rear side, which can be plugged into a power source to provide power to the air pump 5. In this embodiment, the air pump 5 can be a common electric air pump for air mattresses.

[0050] The method of using the buttock-elevating air cushion for defecating in bed in this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] First, connect one end of the air supply pipe 4 to the inflation end of the air pump 5. Then, turn on the switch button 51 of the air pump 5 and adjust the speed of air injection into the receiving cavity 11 by adjusting the speed knob 52, thereby filling the receiving cavity 11 inside the air cushion body 1 with gas until the air cushion body 1 gradually expands and forms a stable sloping support structure.

[0052] Next, the receiving bag 2 is installed inside the mounting cavity 12. When installing the receiving bag 2, one end of the bottom where the exhaust pipe 6 is located is first extended outward through the channel hole 17. Then, by pulling the zipper head 33, the first zipper tooth 31 and the second zipper tooth 32 are tightly engaged, thereby firmly fixing the receiving bag 2 inside the mounting cavity 12. After that, a garbage bag is put over the entire air cushion body 1, and part of the garbage bag is inserted into the receiving bag 2. The entire garbage bag is then attached to the outer surface of the air cushion body 1, and a rubber band is used to secure the garbage bag. The outer wall of the garbage bag is sealed and fixed within the annular groove 16. Next, during use, the air extraction pipe 6 is connected to the suction end of the air pump 5, and the air inside the receiving bag 2 is extracted through the air extraction pipe 6, thereby creating a negative pressure environment between the receiving bag 2 and the garbage bag. This negative pressure environment can adhere the upper part of the garbage bag to the air cushion body 1, isolate the patient from contact with the air cushion body 1, and prevent excrement from contaminating the air cushion. The lower part of the garbage bag is tightly fitted inside the receiving bag 2, which facilitates the effective collection of excrement.

[0053] Subsequently, the air cushion body 1 is correctly placed under the patient, and the position is adjusted so that the container bag 2 is accurately aligned with the excretion area of ​​the patient's buttocks, allowing the patient to defecate. After the patient has finished defecating, the air cushion body 1 is removed from under the patient, and the garbage bag fixed by the rubber band is untied from the annular groove 16, and the opening of the garbage bag is closed. Then, the zipper structure 3 is untied, the container bag 2 is removed, and the garbage bag inside is emptied.

[0054] Finally, the reusable container bag 2 is rinsed and disinfected to ensure cleanliness and hygiene for future use. Then, the sealing cap 8 on the venting end 7 is opened, and air can be quickly released through the venting end 7, allowing the air cushion body 1 to return to its initial state. The air cushion body 1 is then neatly folded and properly stored with the air supply pipe 4, air pump 5, and other components for future use.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this innovative technical solution.
