[0025] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0027] This utility model provides a side-lying pad for body positioning and drainage, which includes an adjustable backrest 1 as the core unit. Through quick-assembly components, an inflatable component 2, an angle monitoring system, and a drainage tube support structure, it can achieve multi-position adaptive adjustment and precise drainage.

[0028] As attached Figure 3 To be continued Figure 4 As shown: The adjustable cushion 1 includes a cushion cover 101, a base plate 105, a support airbag 103, and a support sponge 102. The outer layer of the cushion cover 101 is made of skin-friendly and breathable fabric, and the interior houses the base plate 105, support airbag 103, and other components. Quick-connect components are provided on both sides to allow for horizontal splicing of multiple cushions. The base plate 105 is fixed to the bottom inner side of the cushion cover 101, and a support plate 104 is hinged to its side end, forming a flip-up support structure. The support airbag 103 is located between the support plate 104 and the base plate 105. After inflation, it pushes the support plate 104 to flip around the hinge axis, with an angle adjustment range of 15°-60°. The support sponge 102 fills the upper side of the support plate 104, providing soft support, and has a thickness of 3-5 cm. An angle sensor 106 is installed on the hinge axis between the support plate 104 and the base plate 105 to monitor the flip angle in real time.

[0029] As attached Figure 2 As shown: The bottom of the pad 101 is equipped with an anti-slip pad 5 (silicone material, coefficient of friction > 0.6) to prevent the pad from shifting.

[0030] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown: The quick-assembly component uses Velcro 3, which is sewn onto both sides of the pad cover 101. Adjacent pads are connected by Velcro.

[0031] As attached Figure 5As shown: The inflation assembly 2 includes an air inlet 201 and an air outlet 203. The air inlet 201 is embedded in the side of the supporting airbag 103 and is equipped with a one-way air inlet valve. A connecting pipe 202 is installed at its end. The air outlets 203 of adjacent pads can be connected in series through the air outlets 203 to achieve synchronous inflation of multiple pads. A threaded sleeve 204 is rotatably sleeved on the end of the connecting pipe 202. Its connection is mechanically sealed and threadedly matched with the air outlet 203, supporting quick assembly and disassembly.

[0032] As attached Figure 3 As shown: The exhaust nozzle 203 is located on the other side of the supporting airbag 103, and is threadedly connected to the threaded cap 7. It has a built-in one-way exhaust valve. When inflating alone, the cap is tightened to seal. If in series inflation is used, it is connected through the threaded sleeve 204. A single air pump can inflate multiple pads simultaneously through the connecting pipe 202; when inflating alone, rotating the threaded cap 7 closes the air passages of other pads, allowing for flexible switching of working modes.

[0033] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown: The controller 6 is integrated on the side of the pad 101 and is connected to the angle sensor 106 via a wire. The controller 6 is equipped with a power module, a data processing module, a communication interface module, an LCD screen, and a storage module.

[0034] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown: The lower ends of both sides of the pad 101 are provided with notches and grooves, which are 3-5cm wide and 3cm high. The arc-shaped support plate 4 is embedded in the notch and groove, made of medical-grade ABS material with a smooth surface, to support the drainage tube and prevent it from being compressed.

[0035] Working principle: Based on the patient's body shape, 2-3 adjustable cushions 1 are horizontally glued together using Velcro 3 to form a support body of suitable length. Usually, two pairs of supports are used, one set placed in front of the chest and one set in the back. Remove the threaded cap 7, screw one end of the connecting tube 202 into the air inlet 201 of the first cushion, and connect the other end to the air pump. If individual inflation is required, disconnect the connecting tube 202 and tighten the exhaust nozzles 203 of the other cushions.

[0036] Start the air pump; after the support airbag 103 is inflated, it pushes the support plate 104 to flip, and the controller 6 displays the angle in real time. For example, when drainage of the lower lobe of the right lung is required in a right lateral decubitus position, adjust the angle to 45°±1° and tighten the threaded cap 7 to secure it. Place the drainage tube under the arc-shaped support plate 4 along the notch groove, with a tube bending radius >5cm to avoid sharp angle bends. The arc-shaped support plate 4 separates the body from the drainage tube, providing a rigid support space around the drainage tube to prevent the body from compressing the drainage tube and affecting the drainage effect. At the same time, the support sponge 102 provides flexible support for the body, preventing the arc-shaped support plate 4 from causing pressure discomfort to the body.

[0037] For obese patients, three pads are joined together, with the middle pad adjusted to a 30° angle and the two side pads adjusted to a 40° angle to form a stepped support and distribute body pressure.
