Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a multifunctional turning mat. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of medical care, regular turning and safe transport are crucial aspects of nursing care for patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility. Traditional nursing methods face numerous challenges in practice. Ordinary mattresses lack effective support structures, making it difficult for caregivers to easily turn patients using appropriate tools. This often requires significant physical exertion, and uneven pressure during repositioning can lead to excessive compression of specific areas of the patient's body, increasing discomfort and even posing a risk of skin damage and pressure sores. During patient transport, existing transport equipment and aids are often incompatible with the patient's mattress or turning mat. Patient instability during transport not only increases the difficulty for caregivers but also poses a potential threat to patient safety. Furthermore, ordinary turning mats typically lack good breathability and antibacterial properties, leading to bacterial growth with prolonged use and hindering the patient's recovery.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN221691695U, which discloses a multifunctional turning mat, including a base plate and a first folding plate. The base plate includes a second folding plate and a third folding plate rotatably connected. The first folding plate and the third folding plate are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the same end of the second folding plate, respectively. A support part is rotatably connected to the side of the first folding plate closest to the second folding plate. The upper side of the second folding plate has multiple strip-shaped grooves along its length. After rotating the first folding plate, the support part is engaged with the strip-shaped grooves, thereby fixing the first folding plate. Multiple locking blocks are provided on the side of the first folding plate with the support part. Multiple first locking slots are provided on the upper side of the second folding plate for engaging with the locking blocks. A placement plate is rotatably connected to the side of the second folding plate away from the third folding plate. The placement plate has multiple second locking slots on the side away from the second folding plate for engaging with the locking blocks. The multifunctional turning mat allows the support angle to be adjusted according to the patient's needs during use.
[0004] However, the inventors have found the following shortcomings in the aforementioned technologies: First, the modular structure of the device results in a large overall weight, requiring disassembly of components during transport, which is cumbersome; second, the snap-fit connection between the device's support and the strip-shaped through-slot requires high precision from medical personnel, making operation inconvenient; furthermore, the device lacks ergonomic design for the transport process, posing safety hazards during handling. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a multifunctional turning mat.
[0006] The present application provides a multifunctional turning mat, which adopts the following technical solution: a multifunctional turning mat includes a cotton pad, a support component is provided at the bottom of the cotton pad, and transfer components are provided on the left and right sides of the support component;
[0007] The support assembly includes a breathable soft pad, a rigid support plate, tension bands, a bending plate, and positioning holes. The breathable soft pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cotton pad, and the rigid support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the breathable soft pad. Tension bands are fixedly connected to both sides of the rigid support plate, and bending plates are fixedly connected to the side of the tension bands near the transfer assembly. A positioning hole is provided through one side of the bending plate.
[0008] Through the above scheme, the multi-layer composite structure forms an adjustable force-bearing frame by transmitting force through the tension belt and bending plate, which not only disperses pressure but also assists in completing the turning action, significantly improving the safety of use.
[0009] Optionally, the transfer assembly includes a long rod, a metal hook, and a tubular handle. The long rod is fixedly connected to the bending plate via the metal hook. The bent portion of the metal hook is embedded inside the positioning hole. A tubular handle is fixedly sleeved at the center of the long rod. The surface of the tubular handle is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0010] The above solution, with its modular connection design and anti-slip texture, ensures both stability and flexibility in transport operations. The structure of the metal hook embedded in the positioning hole ensures that it will not accidentally come off when under force.
[0011] Optionally, the support component also includes hook and loop fasteners, which are divided into front and back groups, respectively, and are fixedly connected to the hook and loop fasteners on the bottom of the cotton pad.
[0012] The above solution uses symmetrically distributed Velcro assemblies to form a multi-anchor point fixing system, which can maintain the flatness of the pad and allow for quick removal and washing, effectively solving the problem of traditional straps easily getting tangled.
[0013] Optionally, the rigid support plate is made of a polymer composite material, and its edges are provided with an arc-shaped edging structure extending towards the cotton pad.
[0014] The above solution combines curved edging with high-strength materials to ensure support rigidity while eliminating the pressure of hard edges on the human body, achieving a balance between safety and comfort.
[0015] Optionally, the breathable pad has a honeycomb-shaped perforated structure inside, and its surface is covered with an antibacterial and anti-mildew coating.
[0016] Through the above solution, the three-dimensional ventilation structure combined with antibacterial treatment creates a two-way breathable microenvironment, effectively inhibiting bacterial growth and accelerating sweat evaporation.
[0017] Optionally, the metal hook is threaded onto the long rod.
[0018] Optionally, the hook and loop fasteners are symmetrically distributed on the bottom of the cotton pad, with each group containing at least three equidistant hook and loop fastener units.
[0019] The above scheme forms a matrix-style fixing system with equidistantly arranged Velcro units, which improves the overall structure's resistance to displacement by dispersing stress at multiple points.
[0020] Optionally, the tubular handle has a shock-absorbing filling layer inside and is wrapped with a corrugated grip sleeve made of silicone material on the outside.
[0021] The above solution, with its composite shock-absorbing structure and corrugated anti-slip design, effectively absorbs vibrations and impacts during transport while enhancing grip comfort.
[0022] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] 1. This utility model utilizes a layered structure of a breathable soft pad and a rigid support plate. The breathable soft pad provides cushioning support to the patient's body through its honeycomb-like perforated structure, while the rigid support plate enhances overall support through an arc-shaped edge structure made of polymer composite material. Simultaneously, the tension band and bending plate engage with the metal hooks of the transport component via positioning holes, allowing the support component to dynamically adjust the patient's position during transport through the elastic nylon weave structure of the tension band. This enables the device to fix the patient's position through the synergistic effect of the support component and the transport component, achieving safe transport.
[0024] 2. This utility model combines an antibacterial coating with a honeycomb structure, enabling the breathable pad to inhibit bacterial growth through antibacterial treatment, while the honeycomb structure promotes air circulation. Simultaneously, the hook-and-loop fasteners on the hook and loop backing of the pad allow the support components to securely adhere to the pad via symmetrically distributed hook and loop units, preventing displacement. Furthermore, the fluorescent warning strip on the tension band surface visually indicates the stretch limit, while the elastic material ensures even distribution of support force during transport. This achieves multiple technical effects: enhanced hygiene through antibacterial design, improved structural stability through hook and loop fasteners, and guaranteed operational safety through elastic limits.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0031] This application discloses a multifunctional turning mat.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 A multifunctional turning mat includes a cotton pad 1, a support component 2 at the bottom of the cotton pad 1, and transfer components 3 on the left and right sides of the support component 2.
[0033] Please see Figures 2 to 4 Support component 2 includes a breathable soft pad 201, a rigid support plate 202, a tension band 203, a bending plate 204, and a positioning hole 205. The breathable soft pad 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cotton pad 1. The bottom of the breathable soft pad 201 is fixedly connected to the rigid support plate 202. Tension bands 203 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the rigid support plate 202. Bending plates 204 are fixedly connected to the side of the tension bands 203 closest to the transfer component 3. A positioning hole 205 is provided through one side of the bending plate 204.
[0034] The transfer component 3 includes a long rod 301, a metal hook 302 and a tubular handle 303. The long rod 301 is fixedly connected to the bending plate 204 through the metal hook 302. The bent part of the metal hook 302 is embedded in the positioning hole 205. The tubular handle 303 is fixedly sleeved at the center of the long rod 301. The surface of the tubular handle 303 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0035] Support component 2 also includes hook and loop fasteners 206, which are divided into front and back groups, and are fixedly connected to the hook and loop fasteners on the bottom of the cotton pad 1.
[0036] The rigid support plate 202 is made of polymer composite material, and its edges are provided with an arc-shaped edge structure extending towards the cotton pad 1.
[0037] The breathable cushion 201 has a honeycomb-shaped perforated structure inside and its surface is covered with an antibacterial and anti-mildew coating.
[0038] The metal hook 302 is threadedly connected to the long rod 301.
[0039] Hook and loop fasteners 206 are symmetrically distributed on the bottom of the cotton pad 1, with each group containing at least three equally spaced hook and loop fastener units.
[0040] The tubular handle 303 has a shock-absorbing filling layer inside and is wrapped with a corrugated grip sleeve made of silicone material on the outside.
[0041] Further explanation is needed: Support component 2, as the core support structure of the multi-functional turning mat, mainly consists of a breathable soft pad 201, a rigid support plate 202, a tension band 203, and auxiliary positioning components. Its core function is to provide patients with safe and reliable positional support and dynamic adjustment. The breathable soft pad 201 adopts a honeycomb perforated structure combined with an antibacterial and anti-mildew coating. It can disperse pressure and promote air circulation through its porous design, effectively preventing pressure sores, and inhibit bacterial growth through antibacterial treatment. The rigid support plate 202 is made of high-polymer composite material and has an arc-shaped edge structure, which enhances the edge and padding while ensuring overall rigidity. The fit of the pad 1 provides stable mechanical support; the bending plate 204 and the positioning hole 205 enable quick connection with the transfer component 3, and the rotating adjustment mechanism of the metal hook 302 enables multi-angle fixation; the hook and loop fasteners 206 are symmetrically distributed at the bottom of the cotton pad 1, and the strong adhesion with the napped surface prevents the support component 2 from shifting. At the same time, the three equidistant units in each group enhance the connection stability. Through material selection, structural optimization and functional integration, the support component 2 achieves multiple functions in the medical care scenario, including body position support, pressure distribution, antibacterial protection, convenient transfer and dynamic adjustment, which significantly improves the safety and comfort of nursing operations.
[0042] The tension band 203 is made of elastic braided band, and its width is adapted to the lateral dimension of the bending plate 204. Its two ends are fixedly connected to the rigid support plate 202 and the bending plate 204 respectively by ultrasonic welding.
[0043] The extension height of the arc-shaped edge structure is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the thickness of the cotton pad 1. The end of the edge and the side wall of the breathable soft pad 201 form a continuous and smooth transition surface. The diameter of the honeycomb through-hole structure is 3-5mm, the wall thickness is 0.8-1.2mm, and the center distance between adjacent through holes is 1.5 times the diameter of the hole.
[0044] The long rod 301 has threaded blind holes at both ends that cooperate with the metal hook 302, and the direction of the thread is opposite to the direction of screwing in the metal hook 302.
[0045] The implementation principle of a multifunctional turning mat in this application embodiment is as follows:
[0046] First, the breathable pad 201 of the support component 2 is quickly bonded and fixed to the napped side of the bottom of the cotton pad 1 by hook and loop fastener 206, ensuring that the support component 2 and the cotton pad 1 form an integrated structure. At the same time, the three sets of symmetrically distributed hook and loop fastener units enhance the connection stability.
[0047] Next, the metal hook 302 of the transfer component 3 is inserted into the positioning hole 205 of the bending plate 204 to achieve a detachable connection between the support component 2 and the transfer component 3.
[0048] Next, the nursing staff holds the silicone corrugated sleeve of the tubular handle 303 and transmits force through the long rod 301. The elastic nylon braided strap of the tension belt 203 dynamically distributes the patient's weight during the transfer, avoiding excessive force. The back of the tension belt 203 is sewn with a fluorescent warning tape to warn pedestrians or vehicles passing by when transferring patients in a dark environment. At this time, the tension belt 203 is folded around the edge of the rigid support plate 202, which can expose the fluorescent warning tape.
[0049] Next, the arc-shaped edge structure of the rigid support plate 202 is tightly fitted with the cotton pad 1. The polymer composite material provides rigid support, and together with the honeycomb perforated structure of the breathable soft pad 201, it continuously buffers pressure and promotes air circulation during handling, preventing local skin pressure damage.
[0050] Finally, after the transfer is completed, the rotating locking mechanism of the metal hook 302 is unlocked, the support component 2 and the transfer component 3 are separated, and the antibacterial and anti-mildew coating and honeycomb structure inhibit bacterial growth, making it easy to clean and maintain, and realizing the modular switching of body position support and transfer functions.
[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
