Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turning-over tools, and more specifically, to a turning-over assist device. Background Technology
[0002] Elderly people with illnesses, as well as paralyzed or otherwise immobile patients, are prone to bedsores due to prolonged pressure on specific areas of their bodies caused by prolonged bed rest. This leads to impaired blood circulation and further exacerbates the suffering of bedridden patients. Therefore, turning bedridden patients is an important aspect of nursing care.
[0003] Appropriate turning aids are effective tools for caregivers. Currently, the most commonly used turning aid on the market is an M-shaped profile. It is used to position the patient's legs and elevate the knees, and then the patient can be easily turned over by rolling the entire device to one side. However, in the operation, the turning aid needs to be laid flat under the patient's legs first, and then stood up so that the patient's knees are placed in the support slots on it, while raising the patient's knees to a certain height. Then the turning aid is rolled to one side to assist in turning over. However, when using this turning aid, the knees need to be raised and the legs aligned with the support slots. In addition, the upper body lacks support during the turning process, so it is difficult to exert effort. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a labor-saving turning assistance device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a turning-over assist device, including a turning-over mat and a fixing component;
[0006] The turning pad is placed on the bed frame, and the bed frame has a side panel. The turning pad includes a first soft pad, a third soft pad, and a second soft pad. The first soft pad and the third soft pad are respectively connected to the two ends of the second soft pad. The first soft pad is used to support the shoulders. The back of the first soft pad is detachably connected to the support slope on one side of the back support pad. The support slope of the back support pad is used to support the shoulders. The third soft pad is used to support the knees. The front of the third soft pad has a double knee turning air pad. The double knee turning air pad is connected to an air pump through an air tube. The double knee turning assembly includes a raised air pad and a partition air pad that are connected together. There are three partition air pads spaced apart. The gap between two adjacent partition air pads is a slot for placing the knees.
[0007] The fixing component includes two sets of connecting buckles and clips that engage with each other. The two sets of connecting buckles and clips are respectively installed at both ends of the first soft pad and the third soft pad. The connecting buckles and clips are connected by snapping around the bedside panel.
[0008] A further technical solution of this application: the third soft pad and the first soft pad at the ends away from the second soft pad are connected by a connecting soft pad, the two ends of the connecting soft pad are detachably connected to the first soft pad and the third soft pad respectively, and the connecting soft pad is provided with an abdominal support pad, which is used to support the abdomen.
[0009] A further technical solution of this application: the back support pad is detachably connected to the second soft pad through a connector, the connector including a hook and loop side for adhesive engagement, the hook and loop side being respectively installed on the support slope of the back support pad and the back of the first soft pad.
[0010] A further technical solution of this application: the bottom of the back support pad is provided with silicone anti-slip protrusions, which rub against the bed frame.
[0011] A further technical solution of this application: the back support pad is provided with a handle on the side away from the support slope.
[0012] A further technical solution of this application: the ends of the first and third soft pads away from the second soft pad are respectively fixedly connected to the bedside panel by straps.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0014] This invention uses a first soft pad placed on the patient's shoulders and a third soft pad placed on the patient's knees. An air pump inflates the lifting and separating air pads, allowing the knees to be raised using the lifting air pad and secured by the separating air pad, facilitating turning the lower body. During this process, only a small amount of leg elevation is required, reducing effort. Furthermore, the first soft pad on the shoulders allows for simultaneous turning of the upper and lower body using the second soft pad. Connecting buckles and latches ensure the patient remains in a side-lying position, while a back support pad provides auxiliary back support, allowing for continuous adjustment of the patient's side-lying angle and further enhancing the effort-saving effect. This invention solves the problem of existing M-shaped turning devices that require raising the knees according to the device's height and lack upper body support during turning, thus causing significant effort.
