Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bed turning devices, specifically to a bed turning device. Background Technology
[0002] For patients who are bedridden for a long time and have limited mobility, turning over is a necessary action. However, manual turning is a labor-intensive task. Bed turning devices, as an important nursing aid, are widely used in hospitals, sanatoriums and home care and are still commonly used by caregivers. However, they only allow for turning over the body part of the bedridden person for ventilation or turning over, which is not convenient for the person in bed to operate alone. Therefore, we provide an electric telescopic bed turning device that can be used independently to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a bed turning device, comprising: a base frame, wherein a first turning frame and a second turning frame are symmetrically hinged to the middle of the upper end of the base frame, and a first support mesh plate and a second support mesh plate are respectively provided on the inner side of the upper end of the first turning frame and the second turning frame, and a second inner groove and a first inner groove are respectively provided on one side of the upper end of the first support mesh plate and the second support mesh plate, and a first expansion airbag and a second expansion airbag are respectively provided inside the groove, and an air inlet and an air outlet are provided at the bottom of the first expansion airbag and the second expansion airbag, wherein the air inlet is connected to an air pump through a hose.
[0004] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base frame is provided with support rods on the inner side below the first turning frame and the second turning frame, and an electric telescopic rod is connected to one side of each support rod.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the first turning frame and the second turning frame are fixedly connected to a fixed rod on their inner sides. The first turning frame is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod through the fixed rod shaft, and the second turning frame is connected to the output end of another electric telescopic rod through the fixed rod shaft.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air pump is fixedly installed on the support rod, and the first and second inflatable airbags are the same size and structure, and both are provided with air chambers inside.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first solenoid valve is provided on the air inlet and a second solenoid valve is provided on the air outlet.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the first and second inflatable airbags are made of rubber, and a connecting strip flexibly connects the first and second turning frames.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a tail frame is provided on the upper end of the base frame on one side of the first turning frame and the second turning frame, and a third support mesh plate is provided inside the upper end of the tail frame.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first inflatable airbag expands to a depth greater than the depth of the first inner groove, and the second inflatable airbag expands to a depth greater than the depth of the first inner groove.
[0011] The turning device is equipped with a control button, which is connected to the electric telescopic rod and the air pump respectively. The control button independently controls the extension and retraction of the first turning frame and the second turning frame, and controls the expansion and protrusion of the first expansion airbag and the second expansion airbag respectively.
[0012] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0013] An electric telescopic bed turning device is provided, which allows users to control the turning motion of the first or second turning frame by simply pressing a button on the corresponding electric telescopic rod. Simultaneously, the air pump on the unturned side is activated, and pressing a button causes the first or second inflatable airbag on the unturned side to expand upwards and push up, blocking the unturned side of the patient. This effectively prevents the unturned side from sliding when the first turning frame turns the patient. The device is easy to operate, highly safe, and practical, allowing bedridden individuals to operate the electric telescopic rod and inflatable airbags themselves.
[0014] In addition, the first or second inflatable airbag can expand upwards and bulge when the person is lying flat in the upper position, thus providing ventilation for another part of the body. This allows bedridden individuals to operate the inflatable airbag button independently. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-5 This utility model discloses a bed turning device, comprising: a base frame 1, wherein a first turning frame 2 and a second turning frame 3 are symmetrically hinged to the middle of the upper end of the base frame 1, and a first support mesh plate 7 and a second support mesh plate 8 are respectively provided on the inner side of the upper end of the first turning frame 2 and the second turning frame 3, and a second inner groove 10 and a first inner groove 9 are respectively provided on one side of the upper end of the first support mesh plate 7 and the second support mesh plate 8, and a first expansion airbag 11 and a second expansion airbag 12 are respectively provided inside the groove, and an air inlet 14 and an air outlet 16 are provided at the bottom of the first expansion airbag 11 and the second expansion airbag 12, and the air inlet 14 is connected to an air pump 401 through a hose.
[0025] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the base frame 1 is located below the first turning frame 2 and the second turning frame 3, and both are equipped with support rods 4. One side of the support rod 4 is connected to an electric telescopic rod 5. Both electric telescopic rods 5 are connected to a control switch through wires. The control switch also controls the air pump 401, the first solenoid valve 15 and the second solenoid valve 17. The inner sides of the first turning frame 2 and the second turning frame 3 are fixedly connected with fixing rods 6. The first turning frame 2 is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 5 through the fixing rod 6. The second turning frame 3 is connected to the output end of the other electric telescopic rod 5 through the fixing rod 6. The air pump 401 is fixedly installed on the support rod 4. The first inflatable airbag 11 and the second inflatable airbag 12 are the same size and structure, and both are equipped with air chambers 13. The first solenoid valve 15 is installed on the air inlet 14 and the second solenoid valve 17 is installed on the air outlet 16.
[0026] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first inflatable airbag 11 and the second inflatable airbag 12 are both made of rubber. A connecting strip 21 is flexibly connected between the first turning frame 2 and the second turning frame 3. The connecting strip 21 can be made of a supportive bed board strip, a rigid foam strip, a rubber strip, etc. The upper surfaces of the connecting strip 21 and the first turning frame 2 and the second turning frame 3 are bonded with a soft material (such as a silicone pad) to ensure that there is no gap between the first turning frame 2 and the second turning frame 3, effectively preventing the bedding above from being pressed down and clamped. A tail frame 18 is provided on the upper end of the base frame 1 on one side of the first turning frame 2 and the second turning frame 3. A third support mesh plate 19 is provided inside the upper end of the tail frame 18. The base frame 1 is located between the first turning frame 2, the second turning frame 3 and the tail frame 18. The first inflatable airbag 11 expands to a depth higher than the first inner groove 9, and the second inflatable airbag 12 expands to a depth higher than the first inner groove 9. When the first inflatable airbag 11 and the second inflatable airbag 12 deflate, their top surfaces become flush with the top surfaces of the first inner groove 9 and the second inner groove 10, respectively, thus ensuring the patient's comfort while lying flat. The first inflatable airbag 11 or the second inflatable airbag 12, when the patient is in the supine upper position, expands upwards and provides ventilation for a portion of the body. This allows bedridden individuals to operate the inflatable airbag buttons independently.
[0027] The control buttons are connected to the electric telescopic pole 5 and the air pump 401, respectively, and each button independently controls the extension and retraction of the first and second turning frames, as well as the expansion and protrusion of the first and second inflatable airbags. The controller is a common, conventionally used electric controller; therefore, no improvements are made to the electrical connection between the controller and the electric telescopic pole 5 and the air pump 401. Further details regarding the controller and circuit connections are not provided here.
[0028] In use, for example, the following operation is performed: When it is necessary to turn the patient over by lifting one side of the first turning frame 2, the electric telescopic rod 5 on one side of the first turning frame 2 needs to be activated by pressing a button. The electric telescopic rod 5 then extends and pushes the fixing rod 6, which in turn causes the first turning frame 2 to turn over. At the same time, the corresponding air pump 401 below the second turning frame 3 is activated by pressing a button. The air pump 401 then fills the air chamber 13 inside the second expansion airbag 12 with air through a hose (at this time, the first solenoid valve 15 on the air inlet 14 at the bottom of the second expansion airbag 12 is open, and the second solenoid valve 17 on the vent 16 is closed). This causes the second expansion airbag 12 to expand upward and bulge, lifting the corresponding position of the mattress 20, thereby blocking the side of the patient that has not been turned over and preventing the side of the patient that has not been turned over from sliding when the first turning frame 2 turns the patient over. It is very practical, safe, and allows bedridden people to operate the electric telescopic rod and the expansion airbag by pressing a button.
[0029] Similarly, when flipping up one side of the second flipping frame 3, the other button above is pressed to achieve the opposite operation.
[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0031] All other parts of this utility model that are not described in detail belong to the prior art, and therefore will not be described in detail here.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
