[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a turning assist frame for internal medicine patient care, comprising:

[0025] The base plate 1 has a turning device 2 fixedly connected to its top end. The base plate 1 also has an auxiliary device 3 fixedly connected symmetrically to its top end. The auxiliary device 3 is supported by inflation. The turning device 2 adjusts its angle by the air intake and exhaust of the auxiliary device 3, enabling the patient to turn over.

[0026] The turning device 2 includes a positioning plate 20, which is symmetrically connected to a side plate 21 via a rotating rod. The outer wall of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning plate 20. A support leg 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the side plate 21. The bottom end of the side plate 21 is slidably connected to the auxiliary device 3. The bottom end of the positioning plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top end of the base plate 1. The bottom end of the support leg 22 contacts the bottom end of the base plate 1. First, the base plate 1 is placed at the top of the bed, and the bed sheet and quilt cover are placed at the top of the turning device 2. During use, with the positioning plate 20 as the center, when the patient needs to be turned, the input end of the air inlet pipe 38 in the auxiliary device 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the external pressure air pump. Gas is injected into the air bag 30 through the air inlet pipe 38 by the external pressure air pump.

[0027] The auxiliary device 3 includes an airbag 30, with a fixed block 31 fixedly connected to the top of the airbag 30. A sliding rod 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block 31, and a limiting frame 33 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 32. The bottom of the airbag 30 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, and the top of the limiting frame 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side plate 21. As the airbag 30 is filled with gas, it expands and pushes the fixed block 31 upward. Since the sliding rod 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block 31 and the sliding rod 32 is slidably connected to the limiting frame 33, the sliding rod 32 is driven to slide upward along the limiting frame 33. Since the limiting frame 33 is fixed to the side plate 21, the sliding rod 32 slides within the limiting frame 33, pushing the side plate 21 to rotate around the rotating rod, lifting the patient and turning him / her to the required angle to complete the turning action. The sliding connection between the sliding rod 32 and the limiting frame 33 precisely constrains the turning angle and position of the side plate 21, preventing the side plate 21 from over-turning and causing the patient to fall off the bed.

[0028] A piston 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the airbag 30. A pull rod 35 is fixedly connected to the end face of the piston 34. A limit block 36 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the pull rod 35. A limit channel 37 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limit block 36. An air inlet pipe 38 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the airbag 30. The bottom end of the limit channel 37 is fixedly connected to the top end of the base plate 1. The bottom end of the limit block 36 is fixedly connected to the top end of the base plate 1. The air inlet pipe 38 is fixedly connected to the output end of an external pressure pump. When the patient needs to lie flat, because the piston 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the airbag 30, and the pull rod 35 is fixedly connected to the end face of the piston 34, the airbag 30 is slidably connected to the end face of the piston 35. A pull rod 35 is fixedly connected to the end face of the plug 34. By manually pulling the pull rod 35 outward, during the sliding process of the pull rod 35, a limit block 36 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the pull rod 35. A limit channel 37 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limit block 36, so that during the reset process of the slide rod 32, the piston 34 can return to the inner wall of the airbag 30. The pull rod 35 drives the piston 34 to slide out from the inner wall of the airbag 30, causing the airbag 30 to deflate. The side plate 21 slowly resets under the action of the patient's gravity and its own structure until the bottom end of the support leg 22 contacts the top end of the base plate 1.

[0029] When in use, the turning device 2 adjusts its angle through the air intake and exhaust of the auxiliary device 3, enabling the patient to turn over.

[0030] First, place the base plate 1 at the top of the hospital bed and place the bed sheet and quilt cover at the top of the turning device 2. During use, with the positioning plate 20 as the center, when the patient needs to be turned over, since the input end of the air inlet pipe 38 in the auxiliary device 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the external wall press air pump, gas is injected into the air bag 30 through the air inlet pipe 38 by the external press air pump.

[0031] As the airbag 30 inflates, it pushes the fixing block 31 upward. Since the outer wall of the fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 32, and the sliding rod 32 is slidably connected to the limiting frame 33, the sliding rod 32 is driven to slide upward along the limiting frame 33. Since the limiting frame 33 is fixed to the side plate 21, the sliding rod 32 slides within the limiting frame 33, pushing the side plate 21 to rotate around the rotating rod, lifting the patient and turning him / her to the required angle, thus completing the turning action. The sliding connection between the sliding rod 32 and the limiting frame 33 precisely constrains the turning angle and position of the side plate 21, preventing the side plate 21 from over-turning and causing the patient to fall out of bed.

[0032] When the patient needs to lie flat, the inner wall of the airbag 30 is slidably connected to the piston 34, and the end face of the piston 34 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 35. By manually pulling the pull rod 35 outward, during the sliding out process of the pull rod 35, the outer wall of the pull rod 35 is slidably connected to the limit block 36, and the outer wall of the limit block 36 is fixedly connected to the limit channel 37. This allows the piston 34 to return to the inner wall of the airbag 30 during the repositioning process of the slide rod 32. The pull rod 35 drives the piston 34 to slide out from the inner wall of the airbag 30, causing the airbag 30 to deflate. The side plate 21 slowly repositions under the action of the patient's gravity and its own structure until the bottom end of the support leg 22 contacts the top end of the base plate 1.
