Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of respiratory exercise nursing technology, specifically a thoracic surgical respiratory exercise nursing device. Background Technology
[0002] Postoperative breathing exercises are designed to help patients recover their normal breathing ability as soon as possible. Generally, when we breathe, we need the muscles in the abdominal area to cooperate. Therefore, postoperative breathing exercises for patients are mostly done by applying external force to the abdominal muscles to exercise them.
[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: When using the existing postoperative breathing exercise device, nurses or family members often need to adjust the intensity of the exercise device, which is inconvenient for patients to adjust according to their own feelings and wastes manpower. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a thoracic surgery respiratory exercise nursing device, which solves the problem that existing postoperative respiratory exercise devices often require nurses or family members to adjust the intensity of the exercise device during use. This is inconvenient for patients to adjust according to their own feelings and wastes manpower.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a thoracic surgical respiratory exercise nursing device, comprising a bed board, a gate-shaped frame on the upper wall of the bed board, a cylinder inside the gate-shaped frame, a sleeve rod movably inserted into the lower part of the cylinder, a knob rotatably connected to the upper wall of the cylinder, a threaded rod connected to the lower end of the knob, the threaded rod rotatably connected to the cylinder, the threaded rod being threadedly connected to the sleeve rod, a pair of sliding grooves on the inner wall of the cylinder, a pair of sliders on the side wall of the sleeve rod, the pair of sliders being slidably installed in the pair of sliding grooves respectively, a lifting plate connected to the lower wall of the sleeve rod, two pairs of telescopic rods on the lower wall of the lifting plate, an arc-shaped plate connected to the lower ends of the two pairs of telescopic rods, an airbag connected between the lifting plate and the arc-shaped plate, a connecting air tube connected to one side of the airbag, and an inflatable ball connected to the connecting air tube.
[0006] Preferably, the inflatable ball is equipped with an adjusting valve, which controls the inflation and deflation of the airbag.
[0007] Preferably, the gantry frame is fixedly connected to the bed board by fastening bolts.
[0008] Preferably, the arc-shaped plate is elastic.
[0009] Preferably, the gantry frame is made of high-strength ABS plastic.
[0010] Preferably, the connecting trachea is a medical-grade flexible tube.
[0011] Beneficial effects
[0012] This invention provides a respiratory exercise nursing device for thoracic surgery. The device features a self-adjusting resistance structure for respiratory exercise. A portal frame is bolted to a bed board. A manually rotated knob lowers an arc-shaped plate closer to the patient's chest. Air is then manually injected into the air bladder by an inflatable balloon. The lowered arc-shaped plate presses against the patient's chest, and the patient breathes, causing their chest to rise and fall, thus exercising their breathing under resistance. The exercise process can be adjusted by the patient, allowing them to choose a resistance level more suitable for their physical condition. This reduces the difficulty of care for accompanying persons and is suitable for people of different body types, making it highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0015] 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.
[0016] Please see Figure 1This utility model provides a technical solution: a thoracic surgical respiratory exercise nursing device, including a bed board 1, a portal frame 2 on the upper wall of the bed board 1, a cylinder 3 inside the portal frame 2, a sleeve rod 6 movably inserted into the lower part of the cylinder 3, a knob 4 rotatably connected to the upper wall of the cylinder 3, a threaded rod 5 connected to the lower end of the knob 4, the threaded rod 5 rotatably connected inside the cylinder 3, the threaded rod 5 being threadedly connected to the sleeve rod 6, and a [missing information - likely a type of opening or section] on the inner wall of the cylinder 3. For the slide groove 7, a pair of sliders 8 are provided on the side wall of the sleeve rod 6. The pair of sliders 8 are slidably installed in the pair of slide grooves 7 respectively. A lifting plate 9 is connected to the lower wall of the sleeve rod 6. Two pairs of telescopic rods 10 are provided on the lower wall of the lifting plate 9. An arc plate 11 is connected to the lower end of the two pairs of telescopic rods 10. An airbag 12 is connected between the lifting plate 9 and the arc plate 11. A connecting air pipe 13 is connected to one side of the airbag 12. An inflatable ball 14 is connected to the connecting air pipe 13.
[0017] In this embodiment, the inflatable ball 14 is further configured to have an adjustment valve, which controls the inflation and deflation of the airbag 12.
[0018] In this embodiment, the gantry frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bed board 1 by fastening bolts.
[0019] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped plate 11 is further configured to be elastic.
[0020] In this embodiment, the gantry frame 2 is further configured to be made of high-strength ABS plastic.
[0021] In this embodiment, the connecting trachea 13 is further configured to be a medical-grade flexible tube.
[0022] Its detailed connection method is a well-known technology in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.
[0023] Example: The device uses bolts to fix the gantry frame 2 to the bed board 1. The gantry frame 2 is made of high-strength ABS plastic, which is lightweight, sturdy and durable. The knob 4 is manually rotated to rotate the threaded rod 5. The rotation of the threaded rod 5 causes the sleeve rod 6 to move up and down. The slider 8 always slides within the groove 7, which has a limiting effect. The movement of the sleeve rod 6 causes the lifting plate 9 to move up and down. The movement of the lifting plate 9 causes the airbag 12 and the two pairs of telescopic rods 10 to move up and down, causing the arc plate 11 to move down to a position close to the patient's chest. The inflation balloon 14 is manually adjusted to inject air into the airbag 12 through the inflation balloon 14 and the connecting air tube 13. This causes the telescopic rods 10 to extend and retract, and the arc plate 11 to move down and press against the patient's chest. The patient breathes, causing the chest to rise and fall, compressing the airbag 12 and extending and retracting the telescopic rods 10. This allows the patient to practice breathing under resistance. After the exercise is completed, the knob 4 is adjusted to reset the arc plate 11.
