[0002] In the field of medical care, position management for bedridden patients is crucial. However, current positioning devices for bedridden patients have many shortcomings. On the one hand, some existing positioning devices have relatively simple structures, with each functional component operating independently and lacking systematic integration. This leads to inconvenience during use. For example, different support components need to be placed and adjusted separately, which not only adds extra workload to medical staff but also affects the patient's experience. On the other hand, these devices are not well-considered in terms of comfort. Many do not provide targeted comfort support for different body parts of the patient. For instance, some devices only provide a basic bed board and lack suitable hand rests, knee rests, and footrests. These issues, such as prolonged bed rest, can lead to patients' arms dangling in the air and their knees and feet lacking effective support, easily causing fatigue and discomfort. It can even affect blood circulation and increase the risk of complications such as pressure sores. Furthermore, existing devices have limitations in adjustability; they cannot flexibly adjust the position and angle of the postural support components according to the patient's body shape, condition, and personal preferences. This fails to meet the diverse postural needs of different patients at different stages of treatment, limiting their application in clinical practice. Additionally, some devices have insufficient overall structural stability; with prolonged use or when the patient moves significantly, problems such as loosening and deformation of components may occur, affecting the device's lifespan and potentially posing safety hazards to the patient.
[0003] However, existing technologies have the following problems in practical use:
[0004] When using the overall device, the poor integration between the functional components means that different parts need to be assembled and adjusted separately, which is cumbersome, takes up a lot of space, and is inconvenient to use and store. Moreover, many devices lack sufficient adjustability, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the body support position according to different users' body sizes and specific needs, thus limiting their applicability. In addition, existing devices do not take user comfort into account enough, lacking effective cushioning and support components, which may cause discomfort to users during prolonged use. For example, the lack of dedicated comfort support for parts such as arms, knees, and feet can easily lead to fatigue and injury. Utility Model Content

Therefore, when it is necessary to clean the sponge pad 2 or replace the internal filling material, the zipper 13 can be pulled open and the zipper 12 opened, making the operation convenient and quick, greatly improving efficiency. The improved maintenance convenience of the sponge pad 2 and the fixed installation of the through pin 15 on the outer wall of the bed board 1 ensure a firm connection between the hand support plate 3 and the bed board 1. When the user places their arm on the hand support plate 3, it provides stable support, preventing the arm from dangling and avoiding arm fatigue from prolonged use. Furthermore, the positions of the adapter block 14 and the through pin 15 can be adjusted according to the arm position and length of different users to achieve flexible adjustment of the hand support plate 3 position and meet the personalized needs of different users. The top of the support plate 23 is fixedly installed to the bottom of the bed board 1. This structural design enhances the load-bearing capacity of the bed board 1, enabling it to withstand greater weight and pressure, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire device during use. During use, the cooperation of the positioning seat 8 and the bearing plate 9 ensures the overall positioning accuracy and structural stability of the device, providing a stable support foundation for other components. Example
[0026] To further stabilize the knee position and enable the device to function stably, a device fixing plate 4 and a knee support plate 5 are provided.
[0027] A fixing plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the bed board 1. A knee support plate 5 is provided on the top of the fixing plate 4. An inner layer 16 is glued to the inside of the knee support plate 5. Wrapping straps 17 are sewn to both sides of the knee support plate 5. The outer wall of the wrapping straps 17 is inserted into the inside of the fixing plate 4. Therefore, by using a soft and comfortable material for the inner layer 16, the comfort of the user's knee when in contact is increased. The insertion of the outer wall of the wrapping straps 17 into the inside of the fixing plate 4 allows the knee support plate 5 to be firmly installed on the fixing plate 4. During use, the knee support plate 5 can keep the user's knee in a proper position and prevent it from moving or slipping. Especially for users who need to maintain a specific posture for a long time, such as rehabilitation patients and surgical patients, the knee support plate 5 can effectively reduce the burden and pressure on the knee area and improve the user's comfort and user experience. Example
[0028] To prevent injury from accidental slippage and improve the safety and comfort of the device, a sliding frame 6 and a footrest 7 are provided.
[0029] A sliding frame 6 is internally fitted to the bed board 1. A footrest 7 is welded to the top of the sliding frame 6. A positioning tube 18 is threadedly connected to the inside of the sliding frame 6, and the top of the positioning tube 18 is engaged with the inside of the bed board 1. A handle 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sliding frame 6. A friction pad 20 is engaged with the top of the footrest 7, and a limit ring 21 is engaged with the top of the friction pad 20. The limit ring 21 passes through the inside of the friction pad 20 and engages with the top of the footrest 7. Therefore, by rotating the handle 19, the sliding frame 6 can be moved inside the bed board 1, because the engagement and threaded connection between the positioning tube 18 and the bed board 1 provide positioning. The sliding frame 6 can slide smoothly within the bed board 1, and the design allows users to flexibly adjust the position of the footrest 7 according to their own needs to meet different foot support requirements, greatly improving the flexibility and adjustability of the device. The friction pad 20 increases the friction between the foot and the footrest 7, preventing the user's foot from sliding on the footrest 7. The limiting ring 21 further limits and protects the foot, ensuring that the user's foot is always in a safe and comfortable position during use, preventing injury due to accidental slippage, and enhancing the safety of the device.
[0030] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.
[0031] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0032] First, the user places their body on the bed board 1, which serves as the foundation of the entire device. The sponge pad 2 attached to its top provides soft and comfortable support. The user places their arms on the hand rests 3 on either side of the bed board 1. The hand rests 3 are securely connected to the bed board 1 via adapter blocks 14 and through pins 15. The user can adjust the relative positions of the adapter blocks 14 and through pins 15 according to the length and position of their arms to ensure the hand rests 3 are in a suitable position, providing comfortable support, preventing the arms from dangling, and reducing arm fatigue. When knee support is needed, the user places their knees on the knee rests 5 on top of the fixed plate 4. The inner layer 16 of the knee rests 5 provides a soft contact surface. Simultaneously, the wrapping straps 17 on both sides of the knee rests 5 are inserted into the fixed plate 4 to ensure the stability of the knee rests 5, ensuring the knees are in a suitable position, preventing them from moving or slipping, providing good support and protection for the knees, and reducing the burden and pressure on the knees. For foot support, the handle 19 on the sliding frame 6 is operated, which causes the sliding frame 6 to slide within the bed board 1. This is because the positioning tube 18, which is threaded inside the sliding frame 6, is engaged with the inside of the bed board 1, serving a positioning and guiding function. The movement of the sliding frame 6 causes the position of the footrest 7 welded to its top to be adjusted, thus allowing the position of the footrest 7 to be adjusted according to the user's needs. The friction pad 20 engaged on the footrest 7 increases the friction between the foot and the footrest 7. The limiting ring 21 passes through the friction pad 20 and engages with the footrest 7, limiting the foot and preventing it from sliding, ensuring foot comfort and safety. During the entire use, the positioning seat 8 at the top of the bed board 1 and the support plate 9 at the bottom, along with the reinforcing frame 22 and support plate 23 on them, work together. The reinforcing frame 22 is welded to the support plate 9, and the support plate 23 is connected to the bottom of the bed board 1, ensuring the stability of the entire device and ensuring that it can withstand the user's weight and various forces generated by their movements, thus ensuring safe use.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
