Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing technology, and in particular to a dressing change cart. Background Technology
[0002] When changing dressings for patients, medical staff need to use a variety of nursing tools. Therefore, a dressing cart is generally required, which can hold various nursing tools for the convenience of medical staff. However, when medical staff apply or change dressings on a patient's injured limb, the patient needs to lift the injured limb for a considerable period of time. Without a good point of support, the nursing operation is inconvenient and not conducive to the healing of the injury. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dressing change cart to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.
[0004] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A dressing cart includes: a cart body with a support rod installed on one side; a support pillow with a support groove on the top, and a sleeve installed on one side of the support pillow, the sleeve being rotatably connected to the support rod.
[0005] This technical solution offers at least the following benefits: When medical staff need to support a patient's limb, the support pillow can be rotated and unfolded, allowing the patient's limb to be placed in the support slot. This facilitates nursing care of the injured area and improves efficiency. With the support pillow providing support during care, the patient does not need to lift their limb forcefully, ensuring proper healing of the injury. After the nursing care is completed, the support pillow can be rotated to the side of the vehicle for storage, reducing the overall space occupied and facilitating vehicle movement and storage.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the sleeve can slide relative to the support rod along the length direction of the support rod, and the support rod is equipped with fasteners for fixing the sleeve. The relative sliding of the sleeve on the support rod allows for adjustment of the height of the support pillow to accommodate support for the hand or leg, and to support the limbs of different patients, thereby increasing the support pillow's range of support and thus improving its utilization rate.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the fastener includes an annular sleeve fitted onto the support rod. The annular sleeve is located at the bottom of the sleeve, and a threaded rod is mounted on the annular sleeve. One end of the threaded rod passes through the annular sleeve and abuts against the outer wall of the support rod. By rotating the threaded rod, the end of the threaded rod abuts against the outer wall of the support rod. The friction between the threaded rod and the inner side of the annular sleeve and the support rod is used to fix the height of the support pillow, making it easy to adjust the support pillow to the desired height. At the same time, it does not hinder the rotational movement of the support pillow relative to the support rod, facilitating operation and use.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a handle is rotatably mounted on the end of the threaded rod away from the end that abuts against the support rod, in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod. When the handle rotates with the threaded rod to the side closer to the vehicle body, the handle can be rotated to a position away from the vehicle body by rotating the handle in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod, which facilitates continued application of force to the handle to rotate the threaded rod.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the support rod is also fitted with a support plate, which is located between the sleeve and the annular sleeve. A storage groove for the support plate to be embedded is provided on one side of the vehicle body. When the patient's limb is supported on the support pillow, the support plate can be rotated to a position below the patient's limb, and the necessary nursing tools can be placed on the support plate in advance. This facilitates the care of the patient's injured limb, improves nursing efficiency, and enhances the patient's nursing experience.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a support leg extending outward is installed on the side of the vehicle body near the support pillow. The support leg can support the side of the vehicle body near the support pillow, making it less likely for the vehicle to become unstable or even tip over when the patient's limbs are supported on the support pillow, thus better ensuring the safety of the nursing process.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the support leg is slidably connected to the vehicle body along its own length, and a roller is installed at the end of the support leg away from the vehicle body. When the support pillow is not needed, the support leg can be inserted into the vehicle body for storage, reducing the overall space occupied and facilitating the movement and storage of the vehicle body.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a lead screw is installed on the top of the roller, passing through the support leg, and both ends of the lead screw are threaded with fastening nuts. By rotating the fastening nuts on both sides, the position of the lead screw entering the support leg can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the support height of the support leg and ensuring the support stability of the support leg.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a support frame is installed between the support pillow and the sleeve. The support frame has a groove perpendicular to the length of the support rod, and a slider is installed at the bottom of the support pillow, which is slidably disposed in the groove. The support pillow can slide on the support frame via the slider and groove structure, thereby adjusting the extension position of the support pillow and reserving more space for the patient to place their limbs on the support pillow. When supporting the limbs, there is more room to adjust the body posture, improving the convenience and comfort of the patient during support.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a support rod is embedded in the top of the vehicle body, and a tray is rotatably mounted on the top of the support rod. Medical staff can place electronic devices such as tablets containing medical information or information materials on the tray for easy viewing. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 A dressing change cart includes a cart body 10. Multiple drawers are installed at the front of the cart body 10 to accommodate dressing change tools. The bottom of the cart body 10 is equipped with casters with brakes, allowing for easy movement of the cart body 10. A storage platform is located on the top of the cart body 10, with a railing along its edge for placing temporarily or frequently used dressing change tools. A wall-mounted storage basket can be installed on one side of the cart body 10. The storage basket can be foldable; it can be opened for convenient storage when additional storage is needed.
[0025] A support rod 20 is installed on the right side of the vehicle body 10, near the rear. Mounting blocks protrude from the top and bottom of the side of the vehicle body 10 to mount the support rod 20, ensuring its vertical orientation. The top of the support rod 20 passes through the upper mounting block and is fitted with a storage platform. This platform increases the storage space for items, enhancing the area of the vehicle body 10's storage platform and facilitating the placement of various dressing change tools. A sleeve 31 and a support plate 50 are rotatably connected to the middle of the support rod 20. A support frame 70 is mounted on one side of the sleeve 31, and a support pillow 30 is mounted on the top of the support frame 70. The support frame 70 is a triangular frame, which enhances the support strength of the support pillow 30. The top center of the support pillow 30 is recessed inward to form a support groove 32, the bottom wall of which is arc-shaped.
[0026] When changing dressings, nurses can rotate the support pillow 30 and support plate 50 around the support rod 20 to a suitable position, supporting the patient's limb in the support groove 32 of the support pillow 30. This facilitates dressing changes and other nursing procedures on the injured area of the patient's limb. The support plate 50 can be used to place dressing tools and medications used for the dressing change, bringing them closer to the patient's limb for easy access and use by medical staff, thus improving nursing efficiency. After the dressing change is completed, the support pillow 30 and support plate 50 can be rotated to adhere to the right side wall of the vehicle body, facilitating the movement and storage of the vehicle body 10.
[0027] In order to increase the storage area of the support plate 50 without affecting its storage capacity, a storage groove 51 can be provided on the right side of the vehicle body 10 for the support plate 50 to be embedded in. When the support plate 50 is rotated to be attached to the right side wall of the vehicle body, the support plate 50 is partially embedded in the storage groove 51, thereby reducing the protruding area of the support plate 50 and facilitating the movement and storage of the vehicle body 10.
[0028] To accommodate different limb heights of patients, the support rod 20 is cylindrical, and the sleeve 31 is fitted onto the support rod 20. The sleeve 31 can rotate relative to the support rod 20. At the same time, the sleeve 31 can also slide along the length of the support rod 20. Fasteners are installed on the support rod 20 to restrict the sliding of the sleeve 31 on the support rod 20, thereby limiting the sleeve 31 to a preset height position.
[0029] Specifically, the fasteners include a circular sleeve 40 and a threaded rod 41. The circular sleeve 40 is annular and fits onto the support rod 20, positioned below the sleeve 31. The support plate 50 is located between the sleeve 31 and the circular sleeve 40. The threaded rod 41 is threadedly connected to the circular sleeve 40, with one end threaded through the circular sleeve 40 and abutting against the outer wall of the support rod 20, thus fixing the position of the circular sleeve 40. Under gravity, the bottom of the sleeve 31 abuts against the top of the support plate 50, and the bottom of the support plate 50 abuts against the circular sleeve 40, thereby fixing the height of the sleeve 31 and the support plate 50 to ensure the support effect of the support pillow 30.
[0030] In other embodiments, the fastener may also be a pin. Multiple through holes are arranged side by side along the length of the support rod 20. The pin passes through one of the through holes and its two ends protrude from the outer sidewall of the support rod 20. The bottom of the support plate 50 presses against the two ends of the pin, thereby fixing the height position of the support plate 50 and the sleeve 31 to fix the height position of the support pillow 30.
[0031] A handle 42 is rotatably mounted at the end of the threaded rod 41 away from the end that abuts against the support rod 20. The rotation center line of the handle 42 and the threaded rod 41 is perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod 41. Since the support rod 20 is relatively close to the side wall of the vehicle body 10, when the handle 42 is perpendicular to the threaded rod 41 and drives the threaded rod 41 to rotate, the longer the handle 42, the easier it is to drive the threaded rod 41 to rotate. However, a longer handle 42 is also more likely to interfere with the side wall of the vehicle body 10. When the handle 42 abuts against the vehicle body 10, the handle 42 can be rotated around a direction line perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod 41 to drive the threaded rod 41 to rotate again.
[0032] When the support pillow 30 is in use, the weight of the patient's limbs presses down on the support pillow 30, which can easily cause the vehicle body 10 to tip over. Therefore, a support leg 60 can be installed at the bottom of the right side of the vehicle body 10, that is, the same side as the installation position of the support pillow 30, with the support leg 60 extending away from the vehicle body 10. To facilitate the storage of the support leg 60, a storage tube is provided inside the vehicle body 10, and the support leg 60 slides along its own length in the storage tube. A braked roller 61 is installed at the bottom of the end of the support leg 60 away from the vehicle body 10, and the roller 61 is placed at the same height on the ground as the pulley at the bottom of the vehicle body 10. When the support pillow 30 is not in use, the support leg 60 can be pushed into the storage tube, thereby facilitating the movement and storage of the vehicle body 10. A lead screw 62 is mounted on the top of the roller 61. The end of the lead screw 62 away from the roller 61 passes through the end of the support leg 60 away from the vehicle body 10 from bottom to top. A fastening nut 63 is threaded onto both ends of the lead screw 62. The two fastening nuts, with their adjacent sides abutting against the top and bottom of the support leg 60 respectively, thus securing the roller 61 to the support leg 60. Furthermore, rotating the two fastening nuts 63 in the same direction allows for easy adjustment of the position of the support leg 60 on the lead screw 62, thereby adjusting the support height of the support leg 60 to adapt to uneven ground.
[0033] In other embodiments, the support leg 60 can also be rotatably connected to the vehicle body 10 around a vertical line. When the support pillow 30 is not in use, the support leg 60 can be rotated to a position that fits against the side wall of the vehicle body 10, thereby facilitating the movement and storage of the vehicle body 10.
[0034] The support frame 70 has two sliding grooves 71 on the side near the support pillow 30. The two sliding grooves 71 are arranged side-by-side along the length of the support rod 20, perpendicular to its length. Two sliders 72, corresponding to the two sliding grooves 71, are located at the bottom of the support pillow 30. The sliders 72 can be inserted into the corresponding sliding grooves 71 and slidably adjusted, facilitating the adjustment of the support position of the support pillow 30. Different support pillows 30 can be customized for use according to support requirements. In corresponding scenarios, after removing other support pillows 30, the required support pillow 30 can be installed on the support frame 70, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the removed support pillows 30. Spare support pillows 30 can be stored in the drawer of the vehicle body 10.
[0035] Some nursing procedures may require verifying patient information or following specific nursing protocols, necessitating medical staff to view or operate information on the electronic tablet carried in the vehicle. To facilitate access to nursing tools, the storage platform on the top of the vehicle body 10 is not very high, making it inconvenient to place the electronic tablet for frequent or prolonged operations. A support rod 80 can be installed on the top of the vehicle body 10, with a tray 81 mounted on top of the support rod 80. Medical staff can place the electronic tablet on the tray 81, raising its position for easier viewing or operation, thus improving nursing efficiency. The support rod 80 can be a damping telescopic rod to adjust the placement height of the electronic tablet.
[0036] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
