Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital bed technology, specifically to an electric turning bed. Background Technology
[0002] Advances in medical technology are not only reflected in doctors' skills and the updating of medical equipment, but also in the tools used by patients. For some patients who are bedridden after surgery or fracture trauma patients who are bedridden for a long time and cannot or do not want to turn over on their own, there is a need for a new type of hospital bed to facilitate their use.
[0003] Most existing hospital beds can be folded, but the folding is only horizontal and cannot help patients turn over. Patients are prone to pressure sores and hypostatic pneumonia. There is an urgent need to use assistive devices to help patients turn over correctly, assist in effective back percussion, promote sputum expectoration, and relieve pain.
[0004] Patent document CN213283907U discloses a medical electric turning bed, including a bed frame. A fixed frame is connected to the bottom of the bed frame, and a turning bed board is connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame. One edge of the turning bed board is rotatably connected to the top of a side panel of the fixed frame. A groove is formed on the surface of the turning bed board facing the fixed frame, and a slider is slidably connected inside the groove. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the slider via a pad. The electric telescopic rod is inclined at a fixed angle to the bottom plane of the fixed frame in the direction of slider movement. A slide rail is provided on the inner bottom surface of the fixed frame, and a moving block is slidably connected to the slide rail surface. The moving block slides back and forth on the slide rail surface, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the moving block. A hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the electric telescopic rod, and the hydraulic telescopic rod is perpendicularly connected to a side panel of the fixed frame. However, for patients to turn over effectively, the bed turning mechanism usually needs to be rotated significantly. Since hospital beds typically have mattresses, when the bed turning mechanism helps the patient turn, the mattress can easily slip to the side the patient turned over during the return-to-normal process. This excess mattress piling up behind the patient's back can hinder caregivers from performing procedures like back percussion and sputum removal. After the bed turning mechanism is restored, caregivers also need to adjust the mattress. During this process, if the patient is not effectively stabilized, they may automatically return to a supine position, leading to failed turning. Therefore, existing turning beds need to be optimized to address the mattress instability issue.
[0005] Patent document CN220158589U discloses an electric turning bed, comprising two base frames and a bed board. The bed board is rotatably connected between the two base frames via a pivot. Support columns are installed on both sides of the lower surface of each base frame, and casters are rotatably connected to the lower ends of the support columns. A tailboard is rotatably connected to one end of the bed board via a hinge, and a fixing mechanism is installed on the tailboard. A connecting seat is installed in the middle of the bottom of the bed board, and a connecting plate is rotatably connected to the connecting seat via a pivot. An electric push rod is installed at one end of the connecting plate, and one end of the electric push rod is installed between the two base frames via a support frame. Turning boards are rotatably connected to the front and back of the bed board. A control board is installed on one of the base frame surfaces. This patented solution also suffers from the problem that the mattress tends to stack towards the patient's back after the patient turns over. After procedures such as back percussion and sputum removal, if the mattress is not properly leveled, the portion of the mattress under the patient's back is prone to folding when the patient returns to a supine position, affecting the patient's comfort. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide an electric turning bed that prevents the mattress from folding towards the patient's back after the patient turns over. After the turning plate of this electric turning bed is restored, it can automatically flatten the mattress, ensuring the patient's comfort when lying flat.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] The electric reversing bed includes a bed board with grooves on both sides along its width. A reversing plate is installed within each groove, with one end of the reversing plate rotatably positioned within the groove near the center of the bed board. A lower rod is fixed to the center of the lower end of the bed board, and a support plate is fixed to the lower end of the lower rod. A telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the support plate below the reversing plate, with the telescopic end of the telescopic rod rotatably connected to the lower end of one of the reversing plates. A mattress is laid on the reversing plate and the upper part of the bed board. Multiple fixing posts are evenly distributed along the length of the reversing plate, away from the center of the bed board. A hanging ear is fixed to the end of the mattress near the fixing posts, and the hanging ear is attached to the fixing posts. When the two reversing plates are parallel to the bed board, the fixing posts pull the mattress taut through the hanging ear, and the mattress lies flat on the reversing plate and the upper part of the bed board.
[0009] Specifically, the lower end of the bed board is fixed with support legs.
[0010] Specifically, the telescopic rod is an electric telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod is electrically connected to a control switch and a power supply.
[0011] Specifically, the upper end of the flip-up plate is flush with the upper end of the bed board.
[0012] Specifically, a support rod is fixed in the groove below the flip plate, and the support rod blocks the lower end of the flip plate.
[0013] Specifically, the lower end of the flap is fixed with an ear seat, and the telescopic end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the ear seat on one side.
[0014] Specifically, guardrails are inserted at both ends of the bed board, and two flip-up panels are located between the two guardrails.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. The mattress of this electric turning bed is connected to the fixed posts on the turning plate via hooks. After the turning plate flips and assists the patient in turning over, the mattress will not slide down and stack towards the patient's back during the turning plate's return process. At the same time, after the turning plate returns to its original position, the tension of the fixed posts on the hooks can stretch the mattress, allowing it to lie flat on the upper part of the turning plate and the bed board, improving the patient's comfort when lying down.
[0017] 2. The guardrail is detachable. When the patient turns over, the guardrail on the side away from the patient can be removed to facilitate back patting and sputum removal. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, the electric turning bed includes a bed board 1, and the lower end of the bed board 1 is fixed with support legs 2.
[0026] The bed board 1 has grooves on both sides along its width, and a flap 3 is installed in each groove. The end of the flap 3 closest to the center of the bed board 1 is rotatably positioned in the groove. Specifically, the upper end of the flap 3 is flush with the upper end of the bed board 1.
[0027] A lower rod 5 is fixed to the middle of the lower end of the bed board 1. A support plate 6 is fixed to the lower end of the lower rod 5. A telescopic rod 8 is rotatably connected to the support plate 6 below the flip plate 3. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 8 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the flip plate 3 on one side. Specifically, an ear seat 7 is fixed to the lower end of the flip plate 3, and the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 8 is rotatably connected to the ear seat 7 on one side. The telescopic rod 8 is an electric telescopic rod, and it is electrically connected to a control switch and a power source.
[0028] Activating the telescopic rod 8 allows the flap 3 on one side to rotate, which helps the patient turn over.
[0029] A support rod 9 is fixed in the groove below the flip panel 3, and the support rod 9 blocks the lower end of the flip panel 3. By setting the support rod 9, the pressure-bearing capacity of the flip panel 3 can be improved. When this electric turning bed is used as a regular hospital bed, the support rod 9 can effectively protect the telescopic rod 8, and prevent the telescopic rod 8 from being affected by a large instantaneous impact from the flip panel 3 when the patient gets into the bed, thus reducing its service life.
[0030] The mattress 12 is laid on the top of the flip board 3 and the bed board 1. Multiple fixing posts 10 are evenly distributed and fixed along the length of the end of the flip board 3 away from the center of the bed board 1. The end of the mattress 12 near the fixing posts 10 is fixed with a hanging ear 11. The hanging ear 11 is hung on the fixing post 10. When the two flip boards 3 are parallel to the bed board 1, the fixing posts 10 pull the mattress 12 tight through the hanging ear 11, and the mattress 12 is laid flat on the top of the flip board 3 and the bed board 1.
[0031] When the patient needs to turn to the right, the left telescopic rod 8 is activated by the control switch. The end of the left flip panel 3 away from the center of the bed board 1 rotates upward, allowing the patient lying on the mattress 12 to turn to the right. After the patient has turned to the right, the left telescopic rod 8 returns to its original position. During the return of the left flip panel 3, since the left end of the mattress 12 is hung on the fixing post 10 on the left flip panel 3 through the left hanging ear 11, the left side of the mattress 12 will not slide down and stack towards the patient, making it convenient to perform back patting and sputum removal operations on the patient's back.
[0032] After the flip panel 3 is restored, the tension of the fixed column 10 on the hanging ear 11 can stretch the mattress 12, allowing the mattress 12 to lie flat on the flip panel 3 and the upper part of the bed board 1, improving the patient's comfort when lying flat.
[0033] Example 2: Based on Example 1, referring to... Figures 1-5 As shown, guardrails 4 are inserted at both ends of the bed board 1, and two flip-up panels 3 are located between the two guardrails 4.
[0034] The guardrail 4 is detachable. When the patient turns over, the guardrail 4 on the side away from the patient can be removed to facilitate back patting and sputum removal.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
