Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a bed rail protective cover with a movable pad structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of society and economy and the constant progress of science, more and more assistive devices are being manufactured and continuously innovated. Assistive devices are diverse, including those designed to assist in the treatment of human diseases to achieve rehabilitation, those that help people with mobility difficulties to complete various activities, and those that can enhance the safety and comfort of patients, and so on.

[0003] Bed rail covers are a common assistive device in medical care settings. By covering the metal railings of the hospital bed, bed rail covers can prevent patients from bumping into the railings and causing injury. They can also prevent patients from experiencing discomfort due to contact with cold or hard metal materials, and prevent patients' limbs from getting stuck in the gaps between the railings and causing injury. Bed rail covers have become an indispensable assistive device in modern medical care environments.

[0004] Current bed rail protectors generally consist of a cover body and a cotton pad. The cotton pad is fixedly installed within the cover body, which has a receiving cavity. In use, the bed rail protector is placed over the bed rail (i.e., the bed rail is snapped into the receiving cavity), so that the lower end of the cover fits snugly against the mattress. While this structure is simple and provides basic protection for the bed rail, the fixed structure and height of the cotton pad limit its applicability to mattresses of a certain thickness. For thinner mattresses, the cotton pad may leave a large gap, allowing a patient's limb to easily become trapped and cause injury, posing a significant safety hazard. Conversely, for thicker mattresses, the cover may not fit well, and its excessive height may make the structure unstable, easily falling off under external force, causing inconvenience. Therefore, bed rail protectors have limited applicability, poor adaptability, and are not competitive, failing to meet current needs. Therefore, it is necessary to study a new technical solution to improve the current bed rail protective cover. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a bed rail protector with a movable pad structure. This effectively solves the problems of existing bed rail protectors, which are only suitable for mattresses of a certain thickness. For thinner mattresses, the cotton padding of the bed rail protector may have a large gap, making it easy for the patient's limbs to get stuck and cause injury, posing a significant safety hazard. For thicker mattresses, the bed rail protector may not fit well, and an excessively high bed rail protector may be structurally unstable and easily fall off under external force, causing inconvenience to the user. The limited applicability and poor adaptability of existing bed rail protectors make them uncompetitive.

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

[0007] A bed rail protective cover with a movable pad structure includes a first protective layer, a second protective layer, and a movable pad; the first protective layer is provided with a receiving cavity with a downward opening for accommodating the bed rail; the second protective layer is disposed around the first protective layer, and a mounting cavity with a downward opening is formed between the second protective layer and the first protective layer; the movable pad is slidably disposed in the mounting cavity and is adapted to the mounting cavity.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal section of the first protective layer is an inverted U-shaped structure.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal section of the second protective layer is an inverted U-shaped structure, and correspondingly, the mounting cavity and the movable gasket are also inverted U-shaped structures.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the movable pad includes a first extension, a plurality of connecting parts, and a second extension that are integrally connected in sequence. The first and second extensions are square structures, and the connecting parts have an elliptical cross-section. The elliptical structure allows the movable pad to slide up and down more effectively and flexibly within the mounting cavity.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the movable pad is made of sponge material.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the second protective layer is provided with an adjustable opening tightness adjustment component, which makes the bed rail protective cover more aesthetically pleasing when the opening is tightened.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the adjusting component includes a drawstring and a spring buckle. The drawstring is located at the lower end of the second protective layer, and the spring buckle is located on the drawstring. The tightness of the opening at the lower end of the second protective layer can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the spring buckle. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient and quick, and it brings convenience to the user.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the second protective layer includes an integrally connected main body and a folding portion, the folding portion being disposed at the lower end of the main body and being disposed on the periphery of the main body by folding.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:

[0016] By setting a first protective layer with a downward-facing cavity for accommodating the bed rail, and placing a second protective layer around the first protective layer, with the second and first protective layers forming a downward-facing mounting cavity, a movable pad is slidably installed in and adapted to the mounting cavity. This type of bed rail cover can adapt to mattresses of different thicknesses by adjusting the height of the movable pad, ensuring that the end of the movable pad closest to the mattress fits snugly against the mattress, preventing the patient's limbs from getting stuck and causing injury, thus improving safety during use. The bed rail cover fits the bed rail well, the installation structure is more stable, and it is not easy to fall off under external force, bringing convenience to the user and greatly increasing the applicability of the bed rail cover. This makes the product more adaptable, more competitive, and meets current needs.

[0035] The second protective layer 20 is disposed around the first protective layer 10, and a downward-facing mounting cavity 21 is formed between the second protective layer 20 and the first protective layer 10. In this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the second protective layer 20 is an inverted U-shaped structure, and correspondingly, the mounting cavity 21 is also an inverted U-shaped structure. The side of the second protective layer 20 that contacts the movable pad 30 is made of a relatively smooth fabric, such as nylon or polyester. If a very smooth surface is required, a functional fabric, such as a fabric with an added coating, can be used to make the surface smoother. The outer surface of the second protective layer 20 is made of a non-smooth fabric, or a waterproof fabric with a coating. The lower end of the second protective layer 20 is provided with an adjustable member 22 for adjusting the tightness of the opening. Tightening the opening makes the bed rail cover more aesthetically pleasing. The adjustable member 22 includes a drawstring 221 and a spring buckle 222. The drawstring 221 is provided with... At the lower end of the second protective layer 20, the spring buckle 222 is disposed on the drawstring 221 and the tightness of the lower opening of the second protective layer 20 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the spring buckle 222. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient and quick, bringing convenience to the user. Specifically, the adjusting component 22 includes two drawstrings 221 and two spring buckles 222. Positioning parts 25 are provided on both sides of the lower end of the second protective layer 20. Positioning holes 251 are provided in the positioning parts 25. The two drawstrings 221 are respectively disposed in the corresponding positioning holes 251, and the two ends of the two drawstrings 221 extend outward to the corresponding positioning parts 25. The two spring buckles 222 are disposed at the two ends of the two drawstrings 221. The second protective layer 20 includes an integrally connected main body 23 and a folding part 24. The folding part 24 is disposed at the lower end of the main body 23 and can be folded and unfolded on the periphery of the main body 23.
