Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of assistive medical device technology, and in particular relates to an assistive turning device. Background Technology

[0002] In hospitals, to prevent pressure sores or local ischemic injuries caused by patients maintaining one position for a long time, medical staff will turn patients over. For patients with cervical spine problems, such as those with cervical spinal cord injuries, changing their position from supine to lateral decubitus increases ventilation in the lower lobes of the lungs and can reduce the incidence of hypostatic pneumonia.

[0003] Currently, when medical staff manually turn a patient over, it requires three medical staff members. One staff member stands at the head of the bed to restrain the patient's head, while the other two stand on the same side of the bed. A sheet is placed on the bed, and the staff member rolls up the sheet to assist the patient in turning over. However, in the process of rolling up the sheet, in order to avoid the possibility of twisting due to uneven force on the back, waist, cervical spine, and legs, the staff member needs to apply force to roll up the sheet simultaneously. However, because the sheet is made of fabric, it is relatively soft. Even if the medical staff apply force at different times, it will still cause the patient to be turned over, which can easily lead to twisting of the patient's body and cause secondary injury. This is especially true when turning over heavier patients, as the weight difference between different parts of their body is relatively large, which can easily lead to time differences in the application of force and is more likely to cause secondary injury. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary turning device that reduces the time difference in force exertion, thus minimizing secondary injury to the patient.

[0005] The auxiliary turning device includes a horizontally arranged turning plate body. The turning plate body includes a first fixed plate and a second fixed plate arranged left and right. A first limiting plate is fixed to the top of the rear side of the first fixed plate, and a second limiting plate is fixed to the top of the rear side of the second fixed plate. A connecting component is provided on the first fixed plate to connect it to the second fixed plate.

[0006] The connecting assembly includes at least two horizontally arranged and parallel fixing rods, and both the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate have a first through hole for the fixing rods to pass through.

[0007] Furthermore, a third fixing plate is horizontally arranged on the side of the first fixing plate away from the second fixing plate, and a second through hole is provided on the third fixing plate for the fixing rod to pass through.

[0008] A third limiting plate is provided on the top of the rear side of the third fixing plate, which slides back and forth with it. A locking component is provided on the top of the first fixing plate to fix the third limiting plate after it slides.

[0009] Furthermore, sliders are horizontally arranged on both the left and right sides of the third fixing plate, and the side wall of the third fixing plate is provided with a sliding groove for the slider to be inserted and slide back and forth. The slider is fixed to the third limiting plate by a vertically arranged connecting block.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] The assistive turning device described in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the device includes a horizontally arranged turning board body, which includes a first fixing plate 1 and a second fixing plate 2 arranged left and right. A first limiting plate 5 is fixed to the top of the rear side of the first fixing plate 1. The first limiting plate 5 is vertically fixed to the rear side of the first fixing plate 1. In some embodiments, the first limiting plate 5 may also be fixed to the rear side of the first fixing plate 1 with its top tilted backward. A second limiting plate 3 is fixed to the top of the rear side of the second fixing plate 2. The fixing structure of the second limiting plate 3 and the second fixing plate 2 is the same as the fixing structure of the first fixing plate 1 and the first limiting plate 5.

[0025] A first protective pad is provided on the front side of the first limiting plate 5. The first protective pad is made of sponge. The first protective pad can prevent the first limiting plate 5 from directly contacting the patient, reduce the hard pressure on the patient, and alleviate the discomfort caused to the patient. In some embodiments, the first protective pad can also be made of silicone.

[0026] A second protective pad is provided on the front side of the second limiting plate 3. The material of the second protective pad is the same as that of the first protective pad. The second protective pad can prevent the second limiting plate 3 from directly contacting the patient, further reducing the discomfort caused to the patient.

[0027] The second fixing plate 2 has at least two parallel fixing rods 4 arranged horizontally in sequence. Both the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 have first through holes for the fixing rods 4 to pass through. The number of first through holes on the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 is the same as the number of fixing rods 4. There are two fixing rods 4. The two fixing rods 4 can prevent the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 from rotating independently. Both the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 have two first through holes, and the two first through holes on the first fixing plate 1 and the two first through holes on the second fixing plate 2 are parallel to each other. By passing the fixing rods 4 through the first through holes on the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2, the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 can be flipped together. This section constitutes the connecting assembly that connects the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2.

[0028] The outer wall of one end of the fixing rod 4 is provided with an external thread and a nut that is threadedly engaged with it. The diameter of the second through hole on the third fixing plate 7 is smaller than the outer diameter of the nut. In use, the threaded end of the fixing rod 4 is passed through the second fixing plate 2, the first fixing plate 1 and the third fixing plate 7 in sequence, and then the nut is screwed on to prevent the fixing rod 4 from coming off the third fixing plate 7.

[0029] A third fixing plate 7 is horizontally arranged on the side of the first fixing plate 1 away from the second fixing plate 2. The first fixing plate 1 is located between the third fixing plate 7 and the second fixing plate 2. The length of the third fixing plate 7 is less than the length of the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2. The third fixing plate 7 is used to lift the patient's head. A second through hole is opened on the third fixing plate 7 for the fixing rod 4 to pass through. A third limiting plate 6 is provided on the top of the rear side of the third fixing plate 7 and slides back and forth with it. By sliding the third limiting plate 6, the third limiting plate 6 contacts the patient's cheek. In use, the third fixing plate 7 is inserted under the patient's pillow so that the third limiting plate 6 contacts the patient's cheek. When the patient is turned over by flipping the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2, the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 will drive the third fixing plate 7 to flip together. Moreover, the patient's head is blocked by the third limiting plate 6, so that the head and body are turned together.

[0030] The third fixed plate 7 has horizontally arranged sliders 9 on both its left and right sides. The side wall of the third fixed plate 7 has a groove for the sliders 9 to be inserted and slide back and forth. The sliders 9 are fixed to the third limiting plate 6 by vertically arranged connecting blocks 10. The sliders 9 slide back and forth in the grooves, and the sliders 9 drive the third limiting plate 6 to slide back and forth through the connecting blocks 10. This section describes how the third limiting plate 6 slides back and forth on the top of the third fixed plate 7.

[0031] The height of the groove is less than the width of the slider 9. The width of the slider 9 is the distance between the front and rear side walls. The width of the slider 9 is the same as the thickness of the third limiting plate 6, which can prevent the slider 9 from rotating in the groove and limit the horizontal state of the slider 9.

[0032] A side plate 11 is horizontally fixed to the rear side of the third limiting plate 6. A bolt 8 is vertically installed on the side plate 11, and a threaded hole is opened on the side plate 11 to engage with the threaded rod of the bolt 8. The threaded rod of the bolt 8 passes through the threaded hole and rests on the top of the third fixing plate 7, so that the slider 9 is tightly attached to the top of the slide groove, thus fixing the slider 9 in the slide groove. This section constitutes a locking assembly that fixes the third limiting plate 6 after it slides.

[0033] In some embodiments, the sliding engagement between the third limiting plate 6 and the third fixing plate 7 can also be achieved by fixing a slider at the bottom of the third limiting plate 6 and providing a sliding groove at the top of the third fixing plate 7 for the slider to be inserted and slide back and forth. The slider and the sliding groove are in a "T" shape. The locking method of the third limiting plate 6 can allow the rear end of the slider to extend beyond the third limiting plate 6. A bolt is provided on the slider on the rear side of the third limiting plate 6. Since the slider and the sliding groove are in a "T" shape, the bolt thread is pressed against the bottom of the sliding groove, making the slider and the sliding groove fit tightly together and fixing the slider in the sliding groove, thereby fixing the third limiting plate 6.

[0034] The working principle and technical effects of this embodiment:

[0035] In use, remove the fixing rod 4 from the first fixing plate 1, the second fixing plate 2, and the second limiting plate 3. Then, insert the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 under the patient's body, with the first fixing plate 1 positioned on the patient's back and the second fixing plate 2 positioned on the patient's buttocks. The second limiting plate 3 and the first limiting plate 5 should contact the patient's side. When turning the patient to the left, insert the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 from the patient's left side, with the second limiting plate 3 and the first limiting plate 5 contacting the patient's left side. Then, pull the needle to the left, aligning the patient's head with the right end of the needle. Next, insert the third fixing plate 7 under the pillow, with the third limiting plate 6 contacting the patient's left cheek. Since the left side of the pillow extends beyond the patient's head, the left side of the pillow is positioned between the third limiting plate 6 and the patient's cheek. To prevent the patient's face from contacting the third limiting plate 6, the fixing rod 4 is then passed through the second fixing plate 2, the first fixing plate 1, and the third fixing plate 7. Medical personnel, standing away from the second limiting plate 3 and the first limiting plate 5, flip the first fixing plate 1, the second fixing plate 2, and the second limiting plate 3 upwards to assist in turning the patient. Because the first fixing plate 1, the second fixing plate 2, and the second limiting plate 3 are connected by the fixing rod 4, even if the timing of the force applied by the medical personnel differs, the first fixing plate 1, the second fixing plate 2, and the second limiting plate 3 will not flip upwards individually, thus avoiding twisting of the patient's body due to differences in the timing of force application and reducing secondary injury to the patient. After turning the patient, the fixing rod 4 is removed, and then the second limiting plate 3, the first limiting plate 5, and the third limiting plate 6 are removed one by one from under the patient.
