Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical and nursing device technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary turning device for supine patients. Background Technology

[0002] Patients with conditions such as cerebral infarction, mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, and myasthenia gravis may experience limb weakness, making it difficult for them to turn over independently, especially from a supine position. Prolonged supine lying position easily leads to pressure sores; turning from supine to lateral position is an effective measure to reduce the incidence of pressure sores. For supine patients unable to turn over independently, medical staff need to assist them. However, due to the patient's limb dysfunction preventing them from cooperating with turning, assisting supine patients to turn to lateral position is very physically demanding for medical staff, and it is difficult to find a point of leverage on the patient. Because the patient's limbs are flaccid, their upper and lower body often cannot be turned into position simultaneously, resulting in twisting of the body during the turning process and causing considerable discomfort to the patient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes an auxiliary turning device for supine patients. This device assists medical staff in turning supine patients, allowing the patient's upper and lower body to be turned into position simultaneously.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A device for assisting patients in a supine position to turn over includes a shoulder turning plate, a hip turning plate, a leg turning plate, a connecting rod, and a lower leg support plate;

[0006] The shoulder, hip, and leg turning boards can be inserted from one side of the supine patient's body under the shoulder, hip, and calf, respectively. When medical staff turn the supine patient over, the shoulder, hip, and leg turning boards form three fulcrums and force application points under the patient's body. Medical staff can turn the three turning boards simultaneously to turn the upper and lower body of the supine patient into position at the same time.

[0007] There are two connecting rods, which are connected between the hip flipping board and the shoulder flipping board, and between the hip flipping board and the leg flipping board, respectively. They are used to connect the shoulder flipping board, hip flipping board and leg flipping board into a whole. Medical staff hold the middle of the two connecting rods with both hands and apply force to flip them. The two connecting rods can drive the shoulder flipping board, hip flipping board and leg flipping board to flip synchronously, thereby helping supine patients to turn to their side.

[0008] The top surface of the leg-turning board is fixedly equipped with a calf support plate. During the process of turning from a supine to a lateral position, the calf support plate can be used to support the lower leg on the side closest to the connecting rod, preventing the lower leg from slipping off the bed after turning over. When the body is in position, the lower leg is positioned on top of the other lower leg.

[0009] Furthermore, a first connecting seat is fixedly provided on the top right end of the shoulder flipping plate and the top right end of the leg flipping plate, and a second connecting seat is fixedly provided on the top right end of the hip flipping plate. One connecting rod has its two ends detachably connected to the second connecting seat and one of the first connecting seats, respectively, and the other connecting rod has its two ends detachably connected to the second connecting seat and the other first connecting seat, respectively. This makes the flipping device an assembly structure. After disassembling the two connecting rods, the shoulder flipping plate, hip flipping plate and leg flipping plate can be separated, making them easy to transport, carry and store.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the first connecting seats has a through hole through which the connecting rod can pass, and both ends of the second connecting seat have blind holes for the connecting rod to be inserted. One end of the connecting rod can pass through the through hole of the first connecting seat and then be inserted into the blind hole of the second connecting seat, so as to realize the detachable connection between the two ends of the connecting rod and the second and first connecting seats, and facilitate disassembly and assembly. For patients of different heights, the distance between their shoulders and hips may be different. In this case, after the shoulder flip plate and hip flip plate are inserted into place, the connecting rod is then inserted so that both ends of the connecting rod are connected to the second and first connecting seats. The connecting rod has extra length to meet the connection distance between the shoulder flip plate and the hip flip plate.

[0011] Furthermore, each end of the second connector has an internal threaded hole that communicates with two blind holes. Each internal threaded hole on the second connector is threaded with a locking bolt. Each end of the connecting rod that is inserted into the blind hole has an insertion hole through which the locking bolt can pass. After the end of the connecting rod is inserted into the blind hole on the second connector, the locking bolt can be screwed into the insertion hole to lock the connecting rod and prevent the connecting rod from detaching from the second connector during use.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the first connecting seats has an internally threaded hole at its top end that communicates with the through hole. A locking bolt is threaded into the internally threaded hole of the first connecting seat. After the connecting rod passes through the through hole on the first connecting seat, the locking bolt is tightened to press against the connecting rod, which can improve stability and reduce the probability of the shoulder flipping plate or leg flipping plate losing its fulcrum due to misalignment and sliding along the connecting rod during the flipping process. It is advisable to always ensure that the shoulder flipping plate, hip flipping plate and leg flipping plate are fixed relative to the connecting rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the calf support plate is curved towards the first connecting seat. During the process of turning from a supine to a lateral position, the calf support plate supports the lower leg near the connecting rod. After the lower leg is turned off the bed, the curved end of the calf support plate acts like a guard to prevent the lower leg from slipping off the calf support plate.

[0014] Furthermore, both the top surfaces of the shoulder flipping plate and the hip flipping plate are fixedly provided with arc-shaped backing plates; in use, the shoulder flipping plate and its arc-shaped backing plates can clamp the patient's shoulders, and the hip flipping plate and its arc-shaped backing plates can clamp the patient's hips, which has the effect of preventing relative slippage during the turning process and helps to smoothly turn the patient's body.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the supine patient turning device provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This turning device assists medical staff in turning supine patients. The staff inserts the shoulder, hip, and leg turning plates from one side of the supine patient's body, placing them under the patient's shoulder, hip, and calf, respectively. When properly installed, the calf support plate is positioned between the patient's two calves. When turning the patient, the staff holds the middle of the two connecting rods with both hands and applies force to rotate the plates, causing the shoulder, hip, and leg turning plates to rotate synchronously. The shoulder, hip, and leg turning boards form three fulcrums and force application points under the patient. Medical staff can simultaneously turn the three turning boards to turn the upper and lower body of the supine patient into position at the same time, so that the patient's body will not be twisted during the turning process, and help the supine patient turn to the side-lying position. During the process of turning from supine to side-lying position, the lower leg support board can be used to support the lower leg near the connecting rod, preventing the lower leg from slipping off the bed after turning, so that the lower leg is on top of the other lower leg when the patient is turned into position.

[0023] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example

[0024] A device to assist in turning over a supine patient, such as Figure 1 As shown, it mainly consists of a shoulder flip plate 1, a hip flip plate 2, a leg flip plate 3, a calf support plate 4, a first connecting seat 5, a second connecting seat 6, and a connecting rod 8.

[0025] The shoulder flipping plate 1, hip flipping plate 2, and leg flipping plate 3 can be inserted from one side of the supine patient's body to below the shoulder, hip, and calf, respectively.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the top right surface of the shoulder flip plate 1 and the top right surface of the leg flip plate 3 are both fixedly provided with a first connecting seat 5, and the top right surface of the hip flip plate 2 is fixedly provided with a second connecting seat 6.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two connecting rods 8. The two ends of one connecting rod 8 are detachably connected to the second connecting seat 6 and one of the first connecting seats 5, respectively. The two ends of the other connecting rod 8 are detachably connected to the second connecting seat 6 and the other first connecting seat 5, respectively. The two connecting rods 8 can connect the shoulder flipping plate 1, the hip flipping plate 2 and the leg flipping plate 3 into a whole. The flipping device is an assembly structure. After disassembling the two connecting rods 8, the shoulder flipping plate 1, the hip flipping plate 2 and the leg flipping plate 3 can be separated, which is easy to carry and store.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, each of the first connecting seats 5 has a through hole 5.1 through which the connecting rod 8 can pass, and both ends of the second connecting seat 6 have blind holes 6.1 for the connecting rod 8 to be inserted. One end of the connecting rod 8 can pass through the through hole 5.1 of the first connecting seat 5 and then be inserted into the blind hole 6.1 of the second connecting seat 6, thus achieving a detachable connection between both ends of the connecting rod 8 and the second connecting seat 6 and the first connecting seat 5, and facilitating disassembly and assembly. For patients of different heights, the distance between their shoulders and hips may vary. In this case, after inserting the shoulder flip plate 1 and the hip flip plate 2 into place, the connecting rod 8 can be inserted, so that both ends of the connecting rod 8 are connected to the second connecting seat 6 and the first connecting seat 5. Figure 1 As shown, the connecting rod 8 has extra length to meet the connection gap between the shoulder flip plate 1 and the hip flip plate 2;

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a lower leg support plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the leg flip plate 3, and the top of the lower leg support plate 4 is curved towards the first connecting seat 5.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, in this example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top of both ends of the second connecting seat 6 are provided with internal threaded holes that communicate with two blind holes 6.1 respectively. Each internal threaded hole on the second connecting seat 6 is threaded with a locking bolt 7. Each end of the connecting rod 8 that is inserted into the blind hole 6.1 is provided with an insertion hole 8.1 for the locking bolt 7 to pass through. After the end of the connecting rod 8 is inserted into the blind hole 6.1 on the second connecting seat 6, the locking bolt 7 can be screwed into the insertion hole 8.1 to lock the connecting rod 8 and prevent the connecting rod 8 from separating from the second connecting seat 6 during use.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each of the first connecting seats 5 has an internal threaded hole at its top end that communicates with the through hole 5.1. A locking bolt 7 is threaded into the internal threaded hole on the first connecting seat 5. After the connecting rod 8 passes through the through hole 5.1 on the first connecting seat 5, the locking bolt 7 is tightened to press against the connecting rod 8, which can improve stability and reduce the probability of the shoulder flipping plate 1 or the leg flipping plate 3 losing its fulcrum due to misalignment and sliding along the connecting rod 8 during the turning process. It is advisable to always ensure that the shoulder flipping plate 1, the hip flipping plate 2 and the leg flipping plate 3 are fixed relative to the connecting rod 8.

[0032] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0033] This turning device assists medical staff in turning supine patients. In use, the device is disassembled. Medical staff insert the shoulder turning plate 1, hip turning plate 2, and leg turning plate 3 from one side of the supine patient's body, placing them under the patient's shoulder, hip, and calf, respectively. When inserting the leg turning plate 3, the lower limb closest to the connecting rod 8 should be lifted, and the leg turning plate 3 inserted under the other lower limb's calf. Then, the lifted lower limb is lowered so that the calf support plate 4 is positioned between the two calves. Next, the two connecting rods 8 are installed. One end of the connecting rod 8 is passed through the through hole 5.1 on the first connecting seat 5 and then inserted into the blind hole 6.1 on the second connecting seat 6. The locking bolt 7 on the second connecting seat 6 is then turned to screw it into the insertion hole 8.1 at the end of the connecting rod 8, thus locking the connecting rod 8 onto the second connecting seat 6 to prevent it from detaching during use. The locking bolt on the first connecting seat 5 is then tightened. Bolt 7 is used to tighten the connecting rod 8, reducing the probability of the shoulder flipping plate 1 or leg flipping plate 3 slipping and losing its fulcrum during the turning process. When the turning device is installed, medical staff can hold the middle of the two connecting rods 8 with both hands and apply force to flip the device. The two connecting rods 8 drive the shoulder flipping plate 1, hip flipping plate 2 and leg flipping plate 3 to flip simultaneously. The shoulder flipping plate 1, hip flipping plate 2 and leg flipping plate 3 form three fulcrums and force application points under the patient. The medical staff can flip the three flipping plates at the same time to flip the upper and lower body of the supine patient into position simultaneously, thus helping the supine patient to turn to the side. During the process of turning from supine to side, the lower leg support plate 4 supports the lower leg near the connecting rod 8. After the lower leg is turned off the bed, the curved end of the lower leg support plate 4 acts like a guard to prevent the lower leg from slipping off the lower leg support plate 4. Example

[0034] A device to assist in turning over a supine patient, such as Figure 3 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that: the top surface of the shoulder flipping plate 1 and the top surface of the hip flipping plate 2 are both fixedly provided with arc-shaped backing plates 9;

[0035] Specifically, the shoulder flipping plate 1, hip flipping plate 2, and leg flipping plate 3 are made of aluminum alloy plate, hard stainless steel plate, or hard plastic plate, which are not easy to bend or have a slightly smaller bending range; the curved backrest 9 is made of the same material as the shoulder flipping plate 1, hip flipping plate 2, and leg flipping plate 3. During the process of flipping the patient, the above-mentioned fixing settings can be welded or integrally formed, which are all conventional connection structures.

[0036] Medical staff use this turning device to help supine patients turn over. When the shoulder turning plate 1 and the buttock turning plate 2 are inserted from one side of the supine patient's body under the shoulder and buttock respectively, the two arc-shaped backrests 9 can rest on the patient's shoulder and buttock respectively. When the medical staff hold the middle of the two connecting rods 8 with both hands and apply force to turn the patient's body, the shoulder turning plate 1 and the arc-shaped backrest 9 on it clamp the patient's shoulder, and the buttock turning plate 2 and the arc-shaped backrest 9 on it clamp the patient's buttock. This has the effect of preventing relative slippage during the turning process and helps to turn the patient's body smoothly.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
