Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of body position drainage technology, and in particular to a body position drainage aid. Background Technology

[0002] Among respiratory medicine patients, those with COPD, respiratory failure, bronchial asthma, and bronchiectasis account for as much as 90%. These four diseases share a common characteristic: infection leads to increased sputum volume, and poor drainage can easily cause suffocation or even death. Therefore, these patients require sputum drainage.

[0003] Postural drainage, as a form of chest physical therapy, has advantages such as being non-invasive, easy to operate, and having significant therapeutic effects. It can accelerate the expectoration of sputum, relieve airway obstruction, shorten mechanical ventilation time, and reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). For example, a kneeling expectoration device, as described in the existing technology announcement number CN219127615U, can be used for postural drainage. By assisting the patient to adopt a kneeling position for expectoration, the patient can cough up sputum while maintaining a head-down, feet-up posture.

[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have the following shortcomings:

[0005] 1. The height cannot be adjusted, making it unsuitable for different patients;

[0006] 2. In addition to adopting the head-down, feet-up position for drainage, it is also necessary to use back-patting to effectively loosen the sputum and promote its expulsion. Usually, the back-patting is done at a rate of 40-50 times per minute for 10-15 minutes each time. Manual back-patting by medical staff greatly increases their workload. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a postural drainage aid. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing postural drainage aids cannot be adjusted in height, are not suitable for different patients, and require a large amount of manual back patting work for medical staff.

[0008] This utility model provides a postural drainage aid, including an arched support. Two telescopic support rods are fixed at one end of the arched support, and two telescopic support rods are fixed at the other end of the arched support. The postural drainage aid has a maximum height of 50cm and a width of 40cm, which is suitable for drainage and sputum removal for most patients, with the shortest time and the best patient experience.

[0009] The arched support has side support components on both the front and rear sides of the end near the telescopic support rod 2, which are used to support the patient.

[0010] One side of the arched support is equipped with a tapping component, which includes a housing and multiple vibrating plates inside the housing, for tapping the patient's back to facilitate the patient's expectoration.

[0011] In one embodiment, a rotating rod is rotatably provided inside the outer casing, and a sector-shaped block, the same number as the number of vibrating plates, is fixed at the outer end of the rotating rod, with each sector-shaped block located on the top of each vibrating plate.

[0012] In one embodiment, each vibration plate has four corners connected to the top of the inner shell via springs. The top of the outer shell is fixed with a motor for driving the rotating rod to rotate, and each vibration plate has multiple slapping blocks fixed at its bottom to drive multiple vibration plates to vibrate sequentially and slap the patient's back.

[0013] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the housing is fixed to the inner side of the arched bracket by a metal flexible tube, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the striking component;

[0014] Metal-shaped flexible hoses are a special type of composite metal tubing, primarily made from spring steel wire and galvanized iron wire through a precise winding and wrapping technique. They can be freely bent in three-dimensional space to form any desired shape and maintain that shape. Even during bending, their length and dimensional changes are relatively small, remaining stable. A major advantage of metal-shaped flexible hoses is their support performance after bending; they can support objects of a certain weight, making them highly practical in many applications.

[0015] In one embodiment, the side support assembly includes an outer side plate disposed on the outside of the arched bracket. The outer side plate is hinged to the arched bracket and fixed to the arched bracket by a locking bolt, so that the outer side plate can be stored inside the arched bracket when not in use.

[0016] In one embodiment, a metal block is fixed to the bottom of the outer side plate, and two magnets are fixed to the inner side of the arched bracket. The metal block is made of a material that can be attracted to the magnets.

[0017] In one embodiment, an inner side plate is slidably provided inside the outer side plate, and a locking bolt is threadedly connected to the outer side of the outer side plate to fix the outer side plate and the inner side plate, thereby extending the length of the side support assembly to support different patients.

[0018] In one embodiment, a reinforcing rod is fixed between the ends of two telescopic support rods 1 that are away from the arched support, and a reinforcing rod 2 is fixed between the ends of two telescopic support rods 2 that are away from the arched support. A reinforcing telescopic rod is fixed between the reinforcing rod 1 and the reinforcing rod 2. The arched support, telescopic support rod 1, telescopic support rod 2, reinforcing rod 1, reinforcing rod 2, and reinforcing telescopic rod are made of 316 stainless steel, which is sturdy and lightweight, with a maximum load-bearing capacity of 240 catties. At the same time, a layer of sponge can be added to the outside to improve the comfort of patients during use.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. Convenient to use: Postural drainage can be performed anytime, whether in a hospital or at home;

[0021] 2. Relieve fatigue: Using a drainage device saves the patient's energy and relieves fatigue during the postural drainage process;

[0022] 3. Convenient and efficient: Even without caregivers or medical staff, patients can perform postural drainage by using a drainage device on their own.

[0023] 4. Significant effect: It can not only drain the upper lobe of the lung, but also effectively drain the middle lobe and lower lobe of the lung, thus improving the drainage effect;

[0024] 5. Reduce the workload of medical staff: When expectorating sputum, the vibrating plate of the tapping component taps the patient's back from the lower back (waist) upwards, and alternates between tapping the lower back (waist) and the upper back, which effectively loosens the sputum and promotes its expulsion. This can also reduce the workload and labor intensity of medical staff. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the description of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0040] This utility model provides a postural drainage aid, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes an arched support 1 for a patient to lie prone. Two telescopic support rods 1-2 are fixed to one end of the arched support 1, and two telescopic support rods 2-3 are fixed to the other end of the arched support 1. Bolts are provided on both the telescopic support rods 1-2 and the telescopic support rods 2-3.

[0041] A reinforcing rod 7 is fixed between the ends of the two telescopic support rods 1 and 2 that are away from the arched support 1, and a reinforcing rod 8 is fixed between the ends of the two telescopic support rods 2 and 3 that are away from the arched support 1. A reinforcing telescopic rod 9 is fixed between the reinforcing rod 7 and the reinforcing rod 8.

[0042] The patient lies prone on the arched support 1. Based on ergonomic principles, the affected lung is positioned high with the tracheal opening facing downwards. With the help of gravity, it is easier for the patient to cough up sputum. This not only helps drain the upper lobe of the lung, but also effectively drains the middle and lower lobes of the lung, thus improving the drainage effect.

[0043] Furthermore, the height of the arched support 1 can be easily adjusted by the telescopic support rod 1 2 and the telescopic support rod 2 3, so that different patients can perform positional drainage, which has a wide range of applications.

[0044] Next, side support assemblies 4 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the arched bracket 1 near the telescopic support rod 3. The side support assembly 4 includes an outer plate 41 located on the outside of the arched bracket 1. The outer plate 41 is hinged to the arched bracket 1 and fixed to the arched bracket 1 by a locking bolt 43. A metal block 45 is fixed to the bottom of the outer plate 41, and two magnets 46 are fixed to the inside of the arched bracket 1. The metal block 45 is made of a material that can be magnetized by the magnets 46, such as iron. An inner plate 42 is slidably provided inside the outer plate 41, and a locking bolt 44 for fixing the outer plate 41 and the inner plate 42 is threadedly connected to the outside of the outer plate 41.

[0045] When a patient needs to turn to the left or right while lying prone on the arched support 1, the side support components 4 on both sides of the arched support 1 can be flipped out and the outer plate 41 can be fixed with locking bolt 1 43 to support the patient. Then, the locking bolt 2 44 can be loosened to move the inner plate 42 out from the outer plate 41, and the locking bolt 2 44 can be tightened to fix the inner plate 42, thereby extending the length of the side support components 4 to support different patients, making it widely applicable.

[0046] When the side support assembly 4 is not in use, unscrew the locking bolt 43 and flip the outer plate 41 to the inside of the arched bracket 1 so that the metal block 45 on the outer plate 41 is attracted to the magnet 46 to fix the side support assembly 4, making it easy to store the side support assembly 4.

[0047] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model supports patients with an assistive device, which can save patients' physical strength and relieve fatigue during postural drainage. Moreover, whether in a hospital or at home, patients can perform postural drainage by themselves at any time without caregivers or medical staff, making it convenient to use.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 6-9 As shown, a striking assembly 5 is provided on one side of the arched support 1. The striking assembly 5 includes a housing 51 and a plurality of vibrating plates 52 disposed inside the housing 51. The outer wall of the housing 51 is fixed to the inner side of the arched support 1 by a metal shaped flexible tube 6. A plurality of striking blocks are fixed to the bottom end of each vibrating plate 52. A rotating rod 53 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 51. A number of sector blocks 54, the same as the number of vibrating plates 52, are fixed to the outer end of the rotating rod 53. Each sector block 54 is disposed on the top of each vibrating plate 52. The installation angles of the multiple sector blocks 54 on the rotating rod 53 are different, which facilitates driving the multiple vibrating plates 52 to vibrate alternately in sequence.

[0049] Each vibration plate 52 is connected to the top of the inner top of the outer shell 51 by springs 56 at its four corners. A guide telescopic rod is provided inside the springs 56, and the two ends of the guide telescopic rod are fixed to the top of the outer shell 51 and the top of the vibration plate 52, respectively, to guide the up and down movement of the vibration plate 52.

[0050] The top of the housing 51 is fixed with a motor 55 for driving the rotating rod 53 to rotate. The output shaft of the motor 55 and the rotating rod 53 can be connected through a belt-pulley transmission assembly, a gear transmission assembly, or a chain-sprocket transmission assembly, so that the motor 55 can drive the rotating rod 53 to rotate.

[0051] Furthermore, a motor housing for protecting the motor 55 is fixed on the top of the housing 51. A battery for powering the motor 55 is installed inside the motor housing. In addition, a switch for controlling the motor 55 can also be installed on the housing 51. The circuit settings of the motor 55 are all existing commonly used technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] During sputum expectoration, medical staff bend the metal-shaped flexible tube 6 and place the patting component 5 on the patient's back. The motor 55 is started to drive the rotating rod 53 to rotate multiple sector blocks 54. Taking a vibrating plate 52 as an example: when the sector block 54 contacts the vibrating plate 52, it drives the vibrating plate 52 to move downward. The vibrating plate 52 stretches the spring 56. When the sector block 54 separates from the vibrating plate 52, the vibrating plate 52 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the spring 56. Therefore, the continuous rotation of the sector block 54 can drive the vibrating plate 52 to vibrate up and down.

[0053] Because the multiple sector blocks 54 are installed at different angles on the rotating rod 53, multiple vibrating plates 52 can be driven to vibrate alternately in sequence. This allows the vibrating plates 52 to gradually tap upwards from the lower back and waist, and to alternately tap the lower back and waist and the upper back, effectively loosening sputum, promoting sputum discharge, and reducing the workload and labor intensity of medical staff.

[0054] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
