[0002] Bed rails are a basic safety feature in hospital wards. They effectively prevent patients who are unconscious, have difficulty moving, or are in the recovery period from accidentally falling off the bed while sleeping, turning over, or moving unconsciously, thereby reducing the risk of serious consequences such as fractures and traumatic brain injury caused by falling out of bed.

[0003] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the bed rails 1 are typically composed of multiple vertical rods 11 and horizontal rods 12. When the bed rails are fully extended, the gap between adjacent rods is approximately 10-18 centimeters wide. Most bed rails on the market are currently made of metal tubing (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy) or rigid plastics (such as polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride). Agitation-prone patients may exhibit unconscious, violent limb movements due to illness or medication side effects. During the collision with the bed rails, the limbs are highly susceptible to impact. Hard metal or rigid plastic bed rails not only fail to provide cushioning protection but can also cause compression damage to the patient's skin and muscle tissue due to the strong impact force, leading to bruising, abrasions, or even more serious lacerations.

[0028] The bed rail protective cover provided by this utility model includes a vertical rod sleeve 2 and a horizontal rod sleeve 3. The vertical rod sleeve 2 can be fixedly fitted onto the vertical rod 21 of the bed rail, and the horizontal rod sleeve 3 can be fixedly fitted onto the horizontal rod 31 of the bed rail. The horizontal rod sleeve 3 is provided with an clearance opening corresponding to the vertical rod 21. Both the vertical rod sleeve 2 and the horizontal rod sleeve 3 include an unfoldable sleeve body 4. The sleeve body 4 includes a wrapping layer 42 and a filling layer 41 located inside the wrapping layer 42. The wrapping layer 42 has a first connecting edge 43 and a second connecting edge 44 along the width direction. The first connecting edge 43 is provided with... The device has a first connecting structure 431 and a second connecting structure 441 on the second connecting edge 44. The first connecting structure 431 and the second connecting structure 441 can be used to fit and fix the vertical rod sleeve 2 onto the vertical rod 21 of the bed rail, and the horizontal rod sleeve 3 onto the horizontal rod 31 of the bed rail. The vertical rod sleeve 2 and the horizontal rod sleeve 3 protect the vertical rod 21 and the horizontal rod 31 of the bed rail, respectively, effectively protecting agitated patients from being injured by bumping into the bed rail. Both the vertical rod sleeve 2 and the horizontal rod sleeve 3 are detachable, which makes it convenient for medical staff to replace and install them.

[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, after the horizontal rod sleeve 3 is fitted and fixed on the horizontal rod 31, both ends of the horizontal rod 31 will still be exposed. Therefore, an end fixing sleeve 5 is also provided. The end fixing sleeve 5 can be fitted and fixed on the ends of the horizontal rod 31. The end fixing sleeve 5 includes a circular end plate 51 and an annular flexible sleeve 52 disposed on the circular end plate 51. The annular flexible sleeve 52 can fit on the horizontal rod sleeve 3. Thus, during the installation process, the horizontal rod sleeve 3 is first fitted and fixed on the horizontal rod 31, and finally the end fixing sleeve 5 is fitted and fixed on both ends of the horizontal rod sleeve 3. The end fixing sleeve 5 not only prevents the ends of the horizontal rod 31 from being exposed, but also achieves further fixation of the horizontal rod sleeve 3 through the end fixing sleeve 5, thereby improving the fixation effect of the horizontal rod sleeve 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the annular flexible sleeve 52 is provided with an annular groove 53, and a strip-shaped fastener 6 is provided in the annular groove 53. By adjusting and tightening the strip-shaped fastener 6, the annular flexible sleeve 52 and the horizontal rod sleeve 3 can be fixed together on the horizontal rod 31, thereby improving the fixing effect of the horizontal rod sleeve 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, preferably, the strip fastener 6 includes a strip body 61 and a locking head 62. The strip body 61 includes a fixed end 611 and an adjusting end 612. The locking head 62 is fixedly installed on the fixed end 611. The strip body 61 is provided with ratchet structures 613 arranged sequentially along its length. The locking head 62 is provided with a limiting cavity 621 through which the adjusting end 612 passes. An arc-shaped locking member 622 is provided in the limiting cavity 621. The arc-shaped locking member 622 is provided with a locking part 623 corresponding to the ratchet structure 613. Multiple ratchet structures 613 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the belt body 61. A limiting cavity 621 passes through the locking head 62. The two ends of the limiting cavity 621 form an insertion opening and an extension opening. An arc-shaped locking member 622 is provided inside the limiting cavity 621. A locking part 623 is provided on the arc-shaped locking member 622. The locking part 623 is correspondingly provided with the ratchet structure 613. The locking part 623 and the ratchet structure 613 have a locked state and an unlocked state.

[0032] During use, the end of the strap 61 is inserted into the limiting cavity 621 through the insertion opening and extends out through the extension opening. Thus, the strap 61 and the locking head 62 form a ring-shaped binding structure capable of binding and securing. Pulling the end of the strap 61 adjusts the size of the ring-shaped binding structure and locks the arc-shaped locking member 622, thereby fixing the annular flexible sleeve 52 and the horizontal rod sleeve 3 together to the horizontal rod 31. When it is necessary to loosen the binding, the arc-shaped locking member 622 is adjusted to the unlocked state, and the strap 61 is removed from the limiting cavity 621.

[0033] In this embodiment, a curved mounting groove is further provided on the top wall of the limiting cavity 621. A rotating shaft 624 is provided at the end of the curved locking member 622 away from the locking part 623. The rotating shaft 624 is rotatably mounted in the curved mounting groove. A torsion spring 625 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 624. The two ends of the torsion spring 625 are respectively connected to the side wall of the curved mounting groove and the locking head 62. The torsion spring 625 is configured such that, in the initial state, the locking part 623 of the curved locking member 622 is locked with the ratchet structure 613, and the torsion spring 625 is in a torsional storage state. Under the action of external force, the curved locking member 622 can rotate around the rotating shaft 624, and the locking part 623 separates from the ratchet structure 613 and is in an unlocked state. However, during this process, the torsion spring 625 is further torsioned. When the external force on the curved locking member 622 disappears, under the action of the torsion spring 625, the curved locking member 622 can continue to rotate and return to the initial state.

[0034] The locking head 62 is provided with an opening 64 that communicates with the arc-shaped mounting groove. The end of the arc-shaped locking member 622 away from the locking part 623 forms a pressing head 63, which extends out of the opening 64. During use, when the pressing head 63 is pressed, the arc-shaped locking member 622 can rotate around the rotating shaft 624, and the locking part 623 separates from the ratchet structure 613 to be in the unlocked state. At this time, the belt body 61 can be adjusted to fix the annular binding structure formed by the belt body 61 and the locking head 62, or the belt body 61 can be removed from the limiting cavity 621.

[0035] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
