Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically relating to a prone mat for patients with respiratory diseases. Background Technology
[0002] Clinically, many patients with tracheal or pulmonary diseases often experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing and forced sitting. Because this forced sitting posture prevents them from lying flat, patients easily become fatigued. To alleviate their pain or physical exertion, current techniques typically involve placing a small table across the patient's chest, padded with pillows and blankets, or simply using pillows and blankets to prop them up for rest. However, this often leads to back pain, numbness in the hands and feet after a short time. Therefore, this paper proposes a prone sleeping mat for patients with respiratory diseases to overcome these technical shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0023] This specific embodiment is a prone lying mat for patients with respiratory diseases, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a base 1, with a mounting hole at the top rear side of the base 1. Mounting grooves 4 are provided on both sides of the mounting hole. A movable plate 5 is damped and hinged inside the front end of the mounting groove 4. A protruding plate 6 is integrally formed in the middle of the free end of the movable plate 5. A flexible layer 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 5 and the upper surface of the protruding plate 6. A U-shaped groove 10 is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the movable plate 5. An adjustment component for adjusting the angle of the movable plate 5 is installed inside the U-shaped groove 10.
[0024] Specifically, during use, the patient sits upright on the bed, places the base 1 above the patient's legs, and adjusts the position of the base 1. By lifting the movable plate 5 from the mounting slot 4, the front end of the movable plate 5 is rotated around the hinge point to a suitable angle. Then, the adjustment component is flipped out from the U-shaped groove 10 and supported in the mounting slot 4, so that the adjustment component supports the movable plate 5, thereby tilting the movable plate 5, the convex plate 6, and the flexible layer 9 at a certain angle. The patient can lean forward and rest their upper body on the flexible layer 9. The flexible layer 9 provides support for the patient, improving the patient's comfort. At the same time, when the patient needs to adjust the height, they can rotate the adjustment component themselves or have someone else rotate it in both directions, causing the adjustment component to deflect the movable plate 5 at a certain angle, thereby adjusting the patient to a comfortable position. The flexible layer 9 corresponding to the movable plate 5 and the convex plate 6 can support the patient's chest and head, which not only improves the patient's sleep comfort but also facilitates the patient's breathing.
[0025] In addition, the base 1 has a U-shaped cross-section, an arc-shaped part 2 at the upper front end of the base 1, and through holes 3 in the middle of both the left and right sides of the base 1. The base 1 includes an internal plastic frame and a sponge layer wrapped around the outside of the plastic frame. The base 1 is lightweight and sturdy, and the sponge layer can prevent the patient from being injured. The base 1 is placed upside down above the patient's legs, which not only makes it easy to place the base 1, but also provides the patient's legs with a certain amount of room to move, and can also ensure stability during use. The arc-shaped part 2 corresponds to the patient's waist, so that the patient's upper body can be close to the flexible layer 9.
[0026] In addition, the middle part of the movable plate 5 and the middle part of the convex plate 6 are respectively provided with a first clearance hole 7 and a second clearance hole 8. The material of the movable plate 5 and the convex plate 6 are both plastic. The first clearance hole 7 and the second clearance hole 8 can reduce the weight of the movable plate 5 and the convex plate 6, while leaving space for decompression and breathing.
[0027] In addition, the flexible layer 9 is provided with a first pressure relief hole and a second pressure relief hole at the positions corresponding to the first relief hole 7 and the second relief hole 8, respectively. The lower surface of the front and rear ends of the first relief hole 7 is provided with a receiving groove 11. The first pressure relief hole and the second pressure relief hole can correspond to the patient's chest and head, which not only facilitates the patient's breathing, but also avoids pressure on the chest and head, and improves the patient's comfort.
[0028] In addition, the side projection of the flexible layer 9 is arc-shaped and ergonomically designed. The flexible layer 9 includes an inner high-elastic sponge and a non-woven fabric layer wrapped around it. The flexible layer 9 has a certain curve to match the curve of the human upper body, which not only provides good support for the upper body, but also greatly improves the comfort of lying down.
[0029] In addition, the adjustment assembly includes two first movable rods 12, a second movable rod 15, a U-shaped rod 13, and a drive assembly. The upper ends of the two first movable rods 12 are respectively damped and hinged to the two ends of the U-shaped groove 10. The lower ends of the two first movable rods 12 are each provided with a sliding groove 19. The two ends of the U-shaped rod 13 are respectively slidably connected to the interior of the two sliding grooves 19. One end of the second movable rod 15 is hinged to the rear receiving groove 11. The drive assembly is located between the other end of the second movable rod 15 and the middle of the U-shaped rod 13. The first movable rods 12, the second movable rods 15, and the U-shaped rod 13 can be stored in the U-shaped groove 10 and the receiving groove 11 for easy storage and use. By rotating the drive assembly, the drive assembly itself can extend and retract, and it can also drive the first movable rod 12 to slide on the U-shaped rod 13, so that the angle of the movable plate 5 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height for the patient.
[0030] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a threaded sleeve 14 integrally formed in the middle of the U-shaped rod 13 and a drive rod 16. One end of the drive rod 16 is rotatably connected to the inside of the other end of the second movable rod 15 via a bearing. The other end of the drive rod 16 is provided with a threaded end 17, which is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded sleeve 14. A drive ring 18 is fitted on the outer side of the drive rod 16 near the end of the second movable rod 15. At least one arc-shaped groove is provided in the middle of the rear end of each of the two mounting slots 4. The bends on both sides of the U-shaped rod 13 are respectively located in the corresponding arc-shaped grooves. The drive ring 18 is rotated to... The drive rod 16 can rotate within the second movable rod 15. Simultaneously, the drive rod 16 drives the threaded end 17 to engage with the threaded sleeve 14, allowing the threaded end 17 to screw into or out of the threaded sleeve 14. This allows one end of the second movable rod 15 to rotate within the corresponding receiving groove 11 while it is raised or lowered, thereby adjusting the angle of the movable plate 5. At the same time, the bend of the U-shaped rod 13 can be engaged within the arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped groove limits and supports the U-shaped rod 13, allowing the bend of the U-shaped rod 13 to rotate within the arc-shaped groove during adjustment, thus facilitating the adjustment of the angle of the movable plate 5.
[0031] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0032] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
