Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

For example, the steps described in this application can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution of this application can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.

[0053] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0054] In existing technologies, the turning drive mechanism is usually integrated inside the nursing bed, forming a fixed device. This integrated design means that each nursing bed must be equipped with an independent drive mechanism, resulting in repeated purchases and maintenance difficulties. In medical settings, when multiple patients need to be turned over, medical staff must operate the turning mechanism of each bed individually, which not only increases equipment procurement costs but also multiplies the daily maintenance workload.

[0055] To address the aforementioned issues, the inventors observed that the fixed installation mode of traditional equipment is the root cause of excessive costs. By analyzing the spatial characteristics of medical care scenarios, they discovered a demand for mobile devices within hospital wards. Based on this, they proposed the core idea of ​​designing the flipping drive device as an independent, movable unit. Specifically, by endowing the flipping drive device with overall mobility, it can be switched between multiple beds to achieve initial positioning; simultaneously, a multi-dimensional adjustment mechanism is incorporated to achieve precise positioning.

[0056] Therefore, please combine Figure 1 This application proposes a flipping drive device, which includes a sliding base 11, a transfer mechanism 12, a rotating assembly 13, and a clamping assembly 14, to solve the aforementioned problems. The transfer mechanism 12 is mounted on the sliding base 11, and the rotating assembly 13 is mounted at the end of the transfer mechanism 12 away from the sliding base 11. The transfer mechanism 12 drives the rotating assembly 13 to move. The clamping assembly 14 is connected to the rotating assembly 13 and is used to grip the object to be flipped. The rotating assembly 13 drives the clamping assembly 14 to rotate, causing the clamping assembly 14 to flip the gripped object. The sliding base 11 moves the transfer mechanism 12, the rotating assembly 13, and the clamping assembly 14 to the work area. The transfer mechanism 12 drives the clamping assembly 14 to the work position within the work area.

[0057] In the aforementioned flipping drive device, the sliding base 11 carries all functional components and enables overall movement. The transfer mechanism 12 is mounted on the sliding base 11. The rotating component 13 is positioned via the transfer mechanism 12. The clamping component 14 connects to the rotating component 13 and performs the gripping action of the object to be flipped. After the sliding base 11 moves the entire device to the work area, the transfer mechanism 12 drives the clamping component 14 to precisely position it at the work position, and the rotating component 13 drives the clamping component 14 to perform the flipping operation. In this way, the mobility of the sliding base 11 frees the device from dependence on a fixed bed, the spatial adjustment capability of the transfer mechanism 12 ensures that the device adapts to different work environments, and the coordinated action of the rotating component 13 and the clamping component 14 completes the object gripping and flipping operation. This solution fundamentally changes the traditional usage mode of equipment, forming a mobile and shareable flipping drive system in medical and nursing scenarios, thereby reducing the cost of flipping operations and improving the convenience of later maintenance and nursing efficiency.

[0058] It should be noted that as the elderly age, their immunity declines, and they suffer from illnesses, making prolonged bed rest for recovery increasingly common. Prolonged bed rest can cause back discomfort and bedsores in the elderly. Turning them over every two hours helps with limb movement and minimizes the risk of bedsores. However, with prolonged bed rest, the elderly often lack the strength to perform basic actions like turning over independently, requiring assistance from caregivers using turning aids. These aids involve wearing the device and the caregiver directly manipulating it to turn the elderly. However, this direct manipulation by the caregiver is extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming. The turning aid worn by the elderly is an existing component. For example, the object to be turned in this application can be a turning aid.

[0059] For ease of explanation, in Figure 1 A three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is added. The Z-axis is the first direction, which is the direction in which the first-direction transfer component 121 drives the second-direction transfer component 122. The Y-axis is the second direction, which is the direction in which the second-direction transfer component 122 drives the rotation component 13. The X-axis is the third direction, which is the direction in which the third-direction transfer component 141 drives the clamping component 142. The first, second, and third directions are all perpendicular to each other.

[0060] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 This application further proposes a transfer mechanism 12 including a first direction transfer component 121 and a second direction transfer component 122. The first direction transfer component 121 is mounted on the sliding base 11, and the second direction transfer component 122 is mounted on the first direction transfer component 121. The first direction transfer component 121 is used to drive the second direction transfer component 122 to move along the first direction, and the second direction transfer component 122 is used to drive the rotating component 13 to move along the second direction.

[0061] Thus, by using an orthogonal dual-axis layout, planar positioning is decomposed into two independent degrees of freedom, which not only simplifies the control logic but also facilitates the shortest path planning through an orthogonal coordinate system, significantly improving movement efficiency.

[0062] The first direction transfer component 121 refers to an execution unit that provides linear movement along a single axis in the horizontal plane, and forms a rigid connection with the sliding base 11 to provide a stable movement reference for the second direction transfer component 122; the second direction transfer component 122 refers to an execution unit that provides linear movement along an axis orthogonal to the first direction.

[0063] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 2This application further proposes a first-direction transfer assembly 121 including a top plate 1211, a movable plate 1212, a connecting rod 1213, and a first driving member 1214. The top plate 1211 and the sliding base 11 are spaced apart along a first direction and are fixedly connected by a support column 1215. The movable plate 1212 is disposed between the top plate 1211 and the sliding base 11 and is slidably connected to the support column 1215. One end of the connecting rod 1213 is connected to the movable plate 1212, and the other end passes through the top plate 1211 and is connected to the second-direction transfer assembly 122. The first driving member 1214 is mounted on the sliding base 11, and its output shaft is movably inserted through the top plate 1211, connected to the sliding base 11 and the second-direction transfer assembly 122, for driving the second-direction transfer assembly 122 to move along the first direction. For example, the first driving member 1214 can be a cylinder.

[0064] Thus, a stable spatial frame structure is formed between the top plate 1211 and the sliding base 11 via the support column 1215, and the movable plate 1212 slides linearly along the support column 1215 in the first direction. When the first driving member 1214 is activated, its output shaft directly acts on the second-direction transfer assembly 122, pushing the connecting rod 1213 to move the movable plate 1212 synchronously. Because the sliding engagement between the movable plate 1212 and the support column 1215 constrains the motion trajectory, the displacement accuracy of the second-direction transfer assembly 122 in the first direction is effectively controlled, effectively improving the stability of the second-direction transfer assembly 122 during movement.

[0065] Furthermore, there can be multiple support columns 1215, which are arranged at intervals.

[0066] Furthermore, there can be multiple connecting rods 1213, which are arranged at intervals.

[0067] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 2 This application further proposes a second-direction transfer assembly 122 including a support 1221, a movable member 1222, and a second drive member 1223. The support 1221 is connected to the first-direction transfer assembly 121; the movable member 1222 is slidably connected to the support 1221; the second drive member 1223 is connected to the movable member 1222 and the support 1221, and the second drive member 1223 is used to drive the movable member 1222 to slide along the second direction.

[0068] Thus, by designing a sliding connection between the movable part 1222 and the support seat 1221, the support seat 1221 can constrain the movement trajectory of the movable part 1222, thereby improving the displacement accuracy of the movable part 1222 in the second direction and improving the stability of the movable part 1222 during movement.

[0069] Furthermore, the support seat 1221 refers to the support structure used to support the movable part 1222 and achieve a rigid connection with the first direction transfer component 121. Specifically, it can be implemented by a metal welded frame or a cast base. Its function is to stably transmit the driving force of the first direction transfer to the movable part 1222 and avoid positioning offset caused by structural deformation.

[0070] Furthermore, the moving part 1222 refers to the actuator that moves linearly along the second direction. Specifically, it can be implemented using a linear module with a slider and a guide rail. Its function is to constrain the degree of freedom of motion through sliding connection, so as to ensure the accuracy of the linear trajectory of the transfer in the second direction.

[0071] Furthermore, the second driving component 1223 refers to the device that provides power to the movable component 1222. Specifically, it can be achieved by using an electric push rod, a servo motor in conjunction with a ball screw or a linear motor. Its function is to eliminate the influence of gear transmission backlash on positioning accuracy by directly driving the relative displacement between the movable component 1222 and the bearing seat 1221.

[0072] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 This application further proposes that the length extension direction of the sliding base 11 is the third direction, the transfer mechanism 12 is located at the end of the sliding base 11 in the third direction, and the projections of the rotating component 13 and the clamping component 14 in the first direction are both located in the middle region of the sliding base 11.

[0073] Thus, when the transfer mechanism 12 is located at one end of the sliding base 11, during the position adjustment process of the rotating component 13 and the clamping component 14, the movement trajectory of the rotating component 13 and the clamping component 14 is limited to the central projection area of ​​the base. When the sliding base 11 moves to the working area, the transfer mechanism 12 drives the clamping component 14 to move towards the working position. At this time, the projection position of the rotating component 13 and the clamping component 14 is always located in the center of the base, so that the center of gravity will not generate a tilting torque due to component offset during the movement or operation of the device, thereby improving the stability during the flipping operation and reducing the possibility of the flipping drive device tipping over.

[0074] Specifically, the central area is the central area of ​​the upper surface of the sliding base 11.

[0075] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 3 This application further proposes that the clamping assembly 14 includes a third-direction transfer assembly 141 and a clamping member 142. The third-direction transfer assembly 141 is connected to the rotating assembly 13, and the clamping member 142 is connected to the third-direction transfer assembly 141. The third-direction transfer assembly 141 is used to drive the clamping member 142 to move along the third direction into the insertion hole of the object to be flipped.

[0076] Thus, when the clamping assembly 14 needs to grasp the object to be flipped, the third-party transfer assembly 141 drives the clamping member 142 to move linearly along the extension direction of the rotation axis, so that the end of the clamping member 142 is precisely inserted into the insertion hole. During the insertion process, the clamping member 142 eliminates the positional deviation between the rotating assembly 13 and the insertion hole through linear motion, ensuring that the axis of the clamping member 142 coincides with that of the insertion hole. After the insertion is completed, the rotating assembly 13 drives the clamping member 142 to rotate around the axis.

[0077] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 3 This application further proposes a third-direction transfer assembly 141 including a guide 1411 and a third drive 1412; the guide 1411 is connected to the rotating assembly 13 and slidably connected to the clamping member 142; the third drive 1412 is connected to the rotating assembly 13 and the clamping member 142, and the third drive 1412 is used to drive the clamping member 142 to move along the third direction into the insertion hole of the object to be flipped; the rotating assembly 13 is used to drive the guide 1411 and the third drive 1412 to rotate.

[0078] Thus, when the third drive component 1412 is activated, the clamping component 142 moves linearly along the double slide rail 14111 of the guide component 1411, and the movable sleeve 1421 drives the gripper 1422 to advance towards the insertion hole. Since the guide component 1411 rotates synchronously with the rotating component 13, the gripper 1422 can rotate as a whole with the guide component 1411 after being inserted into the insertion hole, thus driving the object to be flipped to complete the flipping action. The double slide rail 14111 structure effectively suppresses the lateral displacement of the clamping component 142 during the advancement process through two-point support, and the third drive component 1412 acts directly on the end of the clamping component 142, avoiding positioning errors caused by intermediate transmission links.

[0079] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 3 This application further proposes that the guide member 1411 includes two spaced slide rails 14111, one end of each slide rail 14111 is connected to the rotating component 13, and the third drive member 1412 is disposed between the two slide rails 14111; the clamping member 142 includes a movable sleeve 1421 and two spaced grippers 1422, the movable sleeve 1421 is slidably sleeved on the two slide rails 14111, and each gripper 1422 is connected to the end of the movable sleeve 1421 facing away from the rotating component 13, and the gripper 1422 is used to insert into the insertion hole of the object to be flipped.

[0080] Thus, the two slide rails 14111 are installed parallel to each other on the rotating assembly 13, forming a rigid support frame. The movable sleeve 1421 cooperates with the slide rails 14111 through an internal sliding groove and moves along the extension direction of the slide rails 14111 under the push of the third drive member 1412. The third drive member 1412 is fixed at the center position between the two slide rails 14111, and its output end is connected to the movable sleeve 1421, pushing the gripper 1422 to move towards the insertion hole of the object to be flipped. When the third drive member 1412 is activated, the movable sleeve 1421 maintains linear motion under the constraint of the two slide rails 14111, and the two grippers 1422 are inserted into the insertion hole simultaneously, offsetting the lateral force generated by the movement of the rotating assembly 13 through double-point contact. The parallel layout of the slide rails 14111 ensures that the movable sleeve 1421 can only move in a predetermined direction, avoiding the positional displacement of the gripper 1422 due to the skew of the driving force, and ensuring the alignment accuracy of the insertion hole.

[0081] Furthermore, the third driving element 1412 refers to the power element that drives the clamping element 142 to move in a third direction. Specifically, it can be implemented by using an electric push rod or a servo motor in conjunction with a lead screw mechanism. Its output end is directly connected to the clamping element 142 to eliminate transmission backlash.

[0082] Furthermore, the movable sleeve 1421 refers to the sliding component sleeved on the guide member 1411. Specifically, it can be a metal sleeve with a linear bearing, which enables the clamping member 142 to move linearly along the slide rail 14111 through sliding engagement.

[0083] Furthermore, the guide 1411 also includes a connector 14112, the two opposite ends of which are respectively connected to the ends of the two slide rails 14111 away from the rotating assembly 13.

[0084] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 This application further proposes that the sliding base 11 includes a base body 111 and a plurality of wheels 112. A transfer mechanism 12 is installed on the base body 111, and the plurality of wheels 112 are symmetrically distributed along the second direction in the bottom area of ​​the base body 111.

[0085] Furthermore, the base body 111 refers to the rigid support structure that supports the transfer mechanism 12. Specifically, it can be realized by adopting a steel plate welded frame or an aluminum alloy profile assembly structure, which is used to provide a stable installation foundation for the transfer mechanism 12.

[0086] Thus, the base body 111 serves as the support platform for the transfer mechanism 12, maintaining the positional accuracy of each component through an overall rigid structure. Multiple traveling wheels 112 are symmetrically mounted on the bottom of the base body 111 along the second direction, forming a stable four-point support layout. During movement, the symmetrically distributed wheel sets reduce the risk of center of gravity shift. When the device needs to switch work beds, the traveling wheels 112 allow the sliding base 11 to move freely along the ground to the target position. The symmetrical layout ensures controllable movement direction and stable trajectory. Upon reaching the target position, the braking mechanism locks the traveling wheels 112 to prevent slippage, keeping the base body 111 stationary for subsequent operations.

[0087] Furthermore, the multiple wheels 112 refer to moving parts symmetrically arranged along the second direction. Specifically, they can be universal wheels or brake wheels with braking function. The symmetrical distribution design allows the base to maintain balance and reduce lateral offset when moving.

[0088] In some specific embodiments, the traveling wheels 112 may be rubber-coated omnidirectional wheels with a manual brake pedal at the bottom; the base body 111 has a wheel axle mounting seat welded to the bottom, and the traveling wheels 112 are fixed to symmetrically distributed corner positions by bolts. For example, the number of traveling wheels 112 is 4, 6 or 8, the number of traveling wheels 112 is the same as the number of corner positions, and each traveling wheel 112 is located at a corresponding corner position.

[0089] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 4 This application further proposes that the flipping drive device also includes a vision positioning component and a control panel 15. The vision positioning component is used to acquire the coordinates of the holes on the object to be flipped. The control panel 15 is electrically connected to the vision positioning component, the transfer mechanism 12, the rotation component 13, and the clamping component 14. The control panel 15 controls the transfer mechanism 12 to drive the gripper 1422 of the clamping component 14 to move to the working position in the working area according to the acquired coordinates of the holes.

[0090] Thus, when the device moves to the work area, the vision positioning component acquires an image of the target object and identifies the position of the socket. After receiving the socket coordinates, the control panel 15 calculates the required displacement of the transfer mechanism 12 in the horizontal and vertical directions using a coordinate transformation algorithm. The transfer mechanism 12 drives the clamping component 14 to move to the target coordinate point according to control commands, and the third-party transfer component 141 drives the gripper 1422 to insert into the socket to complete the positioning. The rotation component 13 then drives the clamping component 142 to flip the target object according to a preset angle. The entire process requires no manual adjustment of the device position or calibration of the gripper 1422.

[0091] Furthermore, the visual positioning component refers to an optical detection system that can capture the surface features of the object to be flipped through an image acquisition device. Specifically, it can be implemented by using an industrial camera combined with image processing algorithms to calculate its three-dimensional spatial coordinates by recognizing the edge contour of the socket or preset marker points.

[0092] Furthermore, the control panel 15 refers to an electronic control unit with data processing capabilities. Specifically, it can be an embedded processor that works in conjunction with a motion control card to convert coordinate data into drive signals for the transfer mechanism 12 to achieve path planning.

[0093] In some embodiments, the specific structure of the rotating component 13 is not limited in this application. For example, the rotating component 13 may be a motor; or, the rotating component 13 may be a rotating drive structure formed by a motor, a drive sprocket, a driven sprocket, and a chain, wherein the connection method of the rotating drive structure formed by the motor, drive sprocket, driven sprocket, and chain is a conventional method in the art and will not be described in detail here; or, the rotating component 13 may be a rotating drive structure formed by a motor, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a conveyor belt, wherein the connection method of the rotating drive structure formed by the motor, drive wheel, driven wheel, and conveyor belt is a conventional method in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0094] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 4 The flip drive component is also covered by a shell.

[0095] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
