Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turning-over mat technology, and in particular to a turning-over mat. Background Technology

[0002] Patients who are bedridden for a long time are prone to developing bedsores because their skin is in prolonged contact with the mattress, their sweat cannot evaporate properly, and their blood circulation is impaired. Therefore, bedridden patients need to be turned over frequently, and a turning mat should be used when turning them over.

[0003] A search revealed that patent CN219071029U discloses a nursing pad for assisting elderly patients to turn over.

[0004] However, the above technical solutions have the following problems: when using the turning pad, it can only lift one side of the patient, thus only satisfying the turning operation in one direction, which is not very practical. In addition, the turning pad is on the bed and is easy to move due to the patient's movement, which may affect the patient's turning operation and reduce the success rate of turning the patient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing turning pads, which can only lift one side of the patient during use, thus limiting the turning operation to one side and reducing their practicality. Furthermore, the turning pads are prone to shifting due to the patient's movements, which may affect the turning operation and reduce the success rate of turning the patient. Therefore, this invention proposes a new turning pad.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A turning mat includes a bottom mat and two top mats. The bottom mat has four notches. The two top mats are movably disposed at the top center of the same bottom mat on their adjacent sides. The bottom front and bottom rear sides of the bottom mat have bottom grooves. A controller is fixedly disposed on one side of the bottom mat.

[0008] A turning mechanism is installed inside the opening to facilitate turning the patient over.

[0009] The fixing mechanism is located inside the bottom groove to facilitate the fixing of the turning mat to the bed frame.

[0010] In one possible design, the turning mechanism includes four electric telescopic rods, multiple No. 1 plates, four No. 1 rotating columns, multiple No. 2 plates, and multiple No. 2 rotating columns. The four electric telescopic rods are respectively inclinedly arranged inside the four notches. The fixed end and telescopic end of the four electric telescopic rods are respectively fixedly connected to the outer side of the four No. 2 rotating columns and the outer side of the four No. 1 rotating columns. The two ends of the four No. 1 rotating columns are respectively rotatably connected to one side of the multiple No. 1 plates. The top of the multiple No. 1 plates is respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of two top pads. The two ends of the four No. 2 rotating columns are respectively rotatably connected to one side of the multiple No. 2 plates. The multiple No. 2 plates are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the four notches.

[0011] In one possible design, the fixing mechanism includes two connecting plates, four L-shaped plates, multiple slide bars, multiple slide grooves, multiple springs, and two center blocks. The two connecting plates are respectively fixedly installed inside the two bottom grooves. Both connecting plates are designed as central structures. The outer sides of the two center blocks are respectively fixedly connected to the inner center of the two connecting plates. One end of each of the multiple springs is fixedly connected to both sides of the two center blocks, and the other end of each of the multiple springs is fixedly connected to one side of each of the four L-shaped plates. The multiple slide bars are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the four L-shaped plates. The multiple slide grooves are respectively installed on the inner walls of both sides of the two connecting plates. The multiple slide bars are slidably connected to the multiple slide grooves. The multiple L-shaped plates are respectively engaged with both sides of the bed frame.

[0012] In one possible design, pull rings are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the four L-shaped plates to facilitate fixing the turning pad to the bed frame, and rubber pads are provided on the side of the four L-shaped plates that are in contact with the sides of the bed frame.

[0013] In one possible design, the bottom of the base pad is fixedly provided with multiple anti-slip pads to prevent the turning pad from moving, and the multiple anti-slip pads are respectively located directly below the two connecting plates.

[0014] In one possible design, each of the four notches is provided with a curtain to shield the electric telescopic rod.

[0015] In this application, when the turning pad is placed on the bed, the spring force keeps the L-shaped plate close to both sides of the bed, achieving a fixing effect. If the width of the bed is different, the L-shaped plate can move along the slide groove when subjected to external force, thus adapting to different bed widths. The pull ring allows the user to manually pull the L-shaped plate to fix the turning pad on the bed or remove it from it. When it is necessary to assist the patient in turning over, the operator sends a command to the electric telescopic rod through the controller. After receiving the command, the electric telescopic rod begins to extend and retract. Since the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the outside of the second rotating column, and the telescopic end is fixedly connected to the outside of the first rotating column, the extension and retraction action will drive the first and second rotating columns to rotate. When the first rotating column rotates, it will drive the first plate, which is rotatably connected to both ends of it, to move. Since the top of the first plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top pad, the movement of the first plate will drive the top pad to move together, thereby realizing the patient's turning over action. As needed, the two electric telescopic rods on the right or the two electric telescopic rods on the left can be controlled to allow the patient to turn to the left or right.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] In this invention, the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod allows for easy turning of the patient, reducing the workload of caregivers, improving patient comfort, and facilitating easy turning of the patient to either side. The fixing mechanism ensures the turning pad is firmly fixed to the bed, preventing movement during use and ensuring patient safety. The anti-slip pad further enhances the stability of the turning pad, preventing it from sliding during use. 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

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 A turning pad includes a base pad 1, two top pads 2, a turning mechanism, and a fixing mechanism. The base pad 1 serves as a basic support structure and has four notches 5 for installing the turning mechanism. The two top pads 2 are movably positioned at the top center of the base pad 1 on their adjacent sides and can move with the movement of the turning mechanism to assist the patient in turning over. The bottom front and bottom rear sides of the base pad 1 are provided with bottom grooves 11 for accommodating the fixing mechanism. A controller 4 is also fixedly installed on one side of the base pad 1 for controlling the operation of the turning mechanism.

[0027] The turning mechanism includes four electric telescopic rods 6, multiple No. 1 plates 7, four No. 1 rotating columns 8, multiple No. 2 plates 9, and multiple No. 2 rotating columns 10. The four electric telescopic rods 6 are respectively inclinedly installed inside the four notches 5. Their fixed ends are fixedly connected to the outside of the No. 2 rotating columns 10, and their telescopic ends are fixedly connected to the outside of the No. 1 rotating columns 8. When the electric telescopic rods 6 extend or retract, they will drive the No. 1 rotating columns 8 and the No. 2 rotating columns 10 to rotate. The two ends of the four No. 1 rotating columns 8 are respectively rotatably connected to one side of the multiple No. 1 plates 7. The top of the No. 1 plates 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two top pads 2. Therefore, when the No. 1 rotating columns 8 rotate, they will drive the No. 1 plates 7 and the top pads 2 to move together, thereby realizing the patient's turning action. The two ends of the four No. 2 rotating columns 10 are respectively rotatably connected to one side of the multiple No. 2 plates 9. The No. 2 plates 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the notches 5, providing stable support for the No. 2 rotating columns 10. Two of the electric telescopic rods 6 control the right side for turning, and the other two electric telescopic rods 6 control the left side for turning, making it convenient for the patient to use.

[0028] The fixing mechanism includes two connecting plates 13, four L-shaped plates 14, multiple slide bars 16, multiple slide grooves 17, multiple springs 18, and two center blocks 19. The two connecting plates 13 are respectively fixedly installed inside the two bottom grooves 11, and both are designed as central structures. The outer sides of the two center blocks 19 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner center of the two connecting plates 13. One end of the multiple springs 18 is fixedly connected to both sides of the center blocks 19, and the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped plates 14. The elastic force of the springs 18 makes the L-shaped plates 14 fit tightly against both sides of the bed, thus achieving the fixing function. The multiple slide bars 16 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the four L-shaped plates 14. The multiple slide grooves 17 are respectively installed on the inner walls of both sides of the two connecting plates 13. The slide bars 16 and slide grooves 17 are slidably connected, so that the L-shaped plates 14 can move along the slide grooves 17 when subjected to external force, thereby adapting to bed frames of different widths.

[0029] This application can be used in the field of turning mats, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] refer to Figures 1-5 Based on the improvement of Embodiment 1, a turning mat is provided, comprising:

[0032] Pull rings 15 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the four L-shaped plates 14, making it easy for users to manually pull the L-shaped plates 14 to fix the turning pad to the bed or remove it from it. Rubber pads 20 are provided on the side of the L-shaped plates 14 that are in contact with the sides of the bed to increase friction, improve the fixing effect, and reduce the noise of collision with the sides of the bed.

[0033] Multiple anti-slip pads 12 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base pad 1, located directly below the two connecting plates 13. The anti-slip pads 12 can prevent the turning pad from moving during use, ensuring the safety of the patient. In addition, the curtain 3 can cover the gap 5 to prevent dust and debris from entering and extend the service life of the electric telescopic rod 6.

[0034] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of the controller 4 and the electric telescopic pole 6 are commonplace and are all conventional means or common knowledge, so they will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selection according to their needs or convenience. All four electric telescopic poles 6 are connected to the controller 4 through lines and are powered by an external power source.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
