Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0030] Combined with appendix Figure 1-8 An assistive turning device, comprising:
[0031] The system includes a leg-turning mechanism and an upper-body-turning mechanism. The leg-turning mechanism is installed on both legs, and the upper-body-turning mechanism is installed on the upper body. The two mechanisms work together to assist in turning over.
[0032] The leg turning mechanism includes a leg base pad 1, side clamping arms 2, a middle clamping arm 3, and a first fixing strap 4. The leg base pad 1 has side clamping arms 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of its upper end. The leg base pad 1 has a middle clamping arm 3 in the middle of its upper end. The middle clamping arm 3 has first slots 5 symmetrically arranged on both sides of its middle clamping arm. A fixing rod 6 is arranged in the first slot 5. The fixing rod 6 has a first fixing strap 4. The side clamping arm 2 has a second slot 7 that penetrates through it. The other end of the first fixing strap 4 is engaged with the second slot 7. The outer side of the side clamping arm 2 and one side of the first fixing strap 4 are provided with mutually cooperating first Velcro straps 8.
[0033] The bottom of the leg pad 1 and the outer side of the side clamp arm 2 are both flat.
[0034] The upper body turning mechanism includes an upper base pad 9, a left clamping arm 10, a right clamping arm 11, and a second fixing strap 12. The upper base pad 9 has a right clamping arm 11 on its upper right side. The right clamping arm 11 has a third slot 13 that passes through it. A round rod 14 is provided in the third slot 13. The round rod 14 has a second fixing strap 12. The upper base pad 9 has symmetrical T-shaped sliding grooves 15 on its upper left side. The left clamping arm 10 has symmetrical T-shaped sliders 16 on its lower end. The left clamping arm 10 slides through the T-shaped sliders 16 and the T-shaped sliding grooves 15. The left clamping arm 10 has a fourth slot 17. The other end of the second fixing strap 12 is engaged with the fourth slot 17. The outer side of the left clamping arm 10 and the side of the second fixing strap 12 are provided with mutually engaging second Velcro straps 18.
[0035] The upper bottom pad 9 is provided with an adjustment groove 19 on one side. One end of the adjustment groove 19 extends into the T-shaped sliding groove 15 near the adjustment groove 19. Multiple first limiting teeth 20 are evenly provided on the upper and lower walls of the adjustment groove 19.
[0036] A slot 21 is provided on the T-shaped slider 16 near the adjustment groove 19, and the slot 21 passes through the T-shaped slider 16. A sliding cavity 25 is provided in the bottom pad 9 at a position parallel to the slot 21. An adjustment rod 22 is provided in the adjustment groove 19. One end of the adjustment rod 22 extends into the slot 21 and into the sliding cavity 25. The other end of the adjustment rod 22 has a plurality of second limiting teeth 23 evenly provided on both its upper and lower surfaces. The second limiting teeth 23 cooperate with the first limiting teeth 20 to position the adjustment rod 22. When adjusting the position of the left clamping arm 10, the adjustment rod 22 is pulled outward so that the first limiting teeth 23 are positioned in the first limiting teeth 20. The second limiting tooth 23 disengages from the first limiting tooth 20, allowing the adjusting rod 22 and the left clamping arm 10 to move. After adjustment, the adjusting rod 22 is pushed back, causing the second limiting tooth 23 to engage with the corresponding first limiting tooth 20, thus fixing the adjusting rod 22 and the left clamping arm 10 in place. Since one end of the adjusting rod 22 extends into the sliding cavity 25, the portion of the adjusting rod 22 located within the sliding cavity 25 becomes the adjustment length. When the adjusting rod 22 is moved outward, it remains within the slot 21, making it easier to push the adjusting rod 22 back later.
[0037] The adjusting rod 22 has a handle 24 at one end where the second limiting tooth 23 is provided.
[0038] The bottom of the upper base pad 9, the outer side of the left clamping arm 10, and the outer side of the right clamping arm 11 are all flat surfaces.
[0039] In specific implementation, this utility model
[0040] When in use, when it is necessary to turn the patient over, first lift the patient's lower limbs, put the patient's two legs into the groove between the side clamp arm 2 and the middle clamp arm 3 respectively, then pass the end of the first fixing strap 4 with the first Velcro 8 through the second groove 7 on the side clamp arm 2, then pull the first fixing strap 4 to fix the lower limbs, and then fix the first fixing strap 4 to the first Velcro 8 on the side clamp arm 2 through the first Velcro 8;
[0041] Next, place the upper body turning mechanism on one side of the patient, in the direction the patient needs to be turned. Then, stand the upper body turning mechanism upright, so that the right clamp arm 11 is laid flat on the bed. Insert the right clamp arm 11 under the patient's body from the patient's waist or back, so that the patient is between the left clamp arm 10 and the right clamp arm 11. Then, pull the adjusting rod 22 outward from the adjusting groove 19, so that the second limiting tooth 23 on the adjusting rod 22 is pulled out of the adjusting groove 19 and away from the first limiting tooth 20. Then, the left clamp arm 10 can be pushed along the T-shaped slide groove 1. 5. Move the left clamp arm 10 so that it is close to the patient. Then push the adjusting rod 22 into the adjusting groove 19 and make the second limiting tooth 23 on the adjusting rod 22 mesh with the corresponding first limiting tooth 20, so that the adjusting rod 22 cannot move. Then fix the left clamp arm 10 by adjusting the adjusting rod 22. Then insert the second fixing strap 12 into the fourth groove 17 and pull the second fixing strap 12 so that the second Velcro 18 on the second fixing strap 12 and the second Velcro 18 on the left clamp arm 10 are attached and fixed to fix the patient.
[0042] Then, by simultaneously pushing the leg turning mechanism and turning the upper body turning mechanism, the patient can be turned over. The leg turning mechanism and the upper body turning mechanism make it easy for medical staff to turn the patient over.
