Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing assistance technology, specifically to an easily adjustable assistive turning device. Background Technology

[0002] In geriatric nursing, elderly bedridden patients, due to declining physical function and severely limited independent movement, are highly susceptible to pressure sores from maintaining the same posture for extended periods. Furthermore, the difficulty in clearing sputum from the lungs increases the risk of lung infections. Turning mats, as an important nursing tool, utilize a scientifically designed curved shape and reasonable mechanical support. When used in conjunction with the nursing bed, they allow caregivers to assist the elderly in turning over more safely and conveniently.

[0003] Utility model patent application number CN202322824423.2 discloses a gel turning pad. This gel turning pad includes a main body with a placement groove on its upper surface and raised dots on its surface. This novel gel turning pad uses medical-grade PU material, providing excellent support and rebound. It offers multiple functions including turning, leg raising, leg spreading, back support, breathability, and heat dissipation. It is suitable for daily care of long-term bedridden patients and is an essential assistive device for handling bowel and bladder waste. Designed based on mechanics, ergonomics, and clinical nursing experience, this product has strong practicality in nursing care. Long-term use can prevent bedsores and pressure sores, and assist with bowel and bladder cleansing for bedridden patients.

[0004] Although the gel turning pad has strong nursing practicality, the device still has the following problems in actual use: When used, the turning pad is placed directly on the patient's back to assist in turning. However, because the turning pad is placed directly on the nursing bed, when pressure is applied to it by the patient's back, the pad may slide along the bed surface due to insufficient friction. This not only reduces the stability of assisted turning but may also cause the patient to lose postural control during turning, affecting the nursing effect. Therefore, we propose an easily adjustable assisted turning device. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0029] This embodiment provides a technical solution:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, an adjustable auxiliary turning device includes a turning pad 1. Guide rods 12 are fixed at the four corners of the rear end face of the turning pad 1. An installation plate 14 is fixed at the center of the rear end face of the turning pad 1. A sleeve 15 is fixed at the center of the rear end face of the installation plate 14. A threaded hole 150 is opened inside the sleeve 15.

[0031] The rear side of the turning pad 1 is provided with an adjustment part 2. The adjustment part 2 includes a fixing plate 20 for connecting the nursing bed rails. The rear ends of multiple guide rods 12 pass through the four corners of the fixing plate 20 and are slidably connected to the fixing plate 20. The fixing plate 20 has two symmetrical strip grooves 200. The front side of each of the two strip grooves 200 is rotatably mounted with a screw rod 22. Each screw rod 22 is threadedly connected to a connecting plate 23. The rear ends of the two connecting plates 23 slide through the corresponding strip grooves 200 and extend to the rear side of the fixing plate 20. The two opposite end faces of the two connecting plates 23 and the rear end face are fixed with clamping blocks 24 for clamping the nursing bed rail uprights. The rear end face of the clamping block 24 has a clamping groove 240. A threaded rod 25 is rotatably mounted at the center of the front side of the fixing plate 20. The front end of the threaded rod 25 is inserted into the threaded hole 150 and threadedly connected.

[0032] In this embodiment, the front end of the turning pad 1 is inclined, and a silicone pad 10 is fixed to the inclined surface of the turning pad 1. The inclined front end conforms to the side-lying posture of the human body, which can effectively improve the patient's comfort. The silicone pad 10 is soft, which not only increases the friction with the patient's body to prevent the patient from slipping, but also reduces local pressure and reduces the risk of pressure sores.

[0033] In this embodiment, the surface of the silicone pad 10 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 11, which are distributed in a matrix. The matrix distribution of protrusions 11 on the surface of the silicone pad 10 further enhances the friction between the pad and the patient's skin, effectively preventing displacement of the patient during turning over. At the same time, the protrusions disperse pressure, better protecting the patient's skin health.

[0034] In this embodiment, mounting holes are provided at all four corners of the mounting plate 14, and each mounting hole is fitted with a mounting bolt that is threaded to the turning pad 1. This connection method is stable and reliable, and facilitates installation and disassembly. It ensures a tight fit between the mounting plate 14 and the turning pad 1, and also facilitates later maintenance.

[0035] In this embodiment, a limiting block 13 is coaxially fixed to the rear end of the guide rod 12, and the diameter of the guide rod 12 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting block 13. The limiting block 13 at the rear end of the guide rod 12 can prevent the guide rod 12 from detaching from the fixing plate 20, ensuring the stability of the connection between the turning pad 1 and the adjustment part 2, and preventing the guide rod 12 from falling off during use.

[0036] In this embodiment, the rear end of the threaded rod 25 rotatably passes through the fixed plate 20. The threaded rod 25 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 20 via a bearing. An adjusting screw 26 is coaxially keyed to the rear end of the threaded rod 25. The outer wall of the adjusting screw 26 has multiple anti-slip grooves. The anti-slip grooves increase the friction between the hand and the adjusting screw 26, allowing the user to more easily rotate the threaded rod 25 to adjust the position of the turning pad 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 23 and the clamping block 24 are integrally formed structures, and the cross-sectional shape of the clamping groove 240 is arc-shaped. The integrally formed connecting plate 23 and clamping block 24 have the advantages of high structural strength and good stability. The arc-shaped clamping groove 240 can better fit the nursing bed railing column, increase the contact area, and improve the reliability and stability of clamping.

[0038] In this embodiment, each strip groove 200 has a support plate 21 rotatably mounted on its front side at both ends. The rear ends of the multiple support plates 21 are fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed plate 20. The lead screw 22 passes through the support plate 21 and is rotatably connected to it. The support plate 21 provides a stable support point for the lead screw 22. The rotatable connection between the lead screw 22 and the support plate 21 makes the lead screw 22 more stable during rotation, ensuring the smoothness of the clamping operation of the clamping block 24.

[0039] It is understood that in this embodiment, the end of the lead screw 22 is coaxially keyed with an adjustment head 220, which facilitates the rotation of the lead screw 22 and improves the convenience of operation.

[0040] It should be added that the size of the strip groove 200 in this embodiment is adapted to the size of the connecting plate 23. When the lead screw 22 rotates, the connecting plate 23 can slide smoothly along the strip groove 200, avoiding the connection plate 23 from shaking.

[0041] In practical use, the user first places the fixing plate 20 on the hospital bed and inside the railing of the nursing bed. Then, the user rotates the adjusting heads 220 on both sides in sequence. The adjusting heads 220 drive the screw 22 to rotate. At this time, the connecting plate 23 drives the clamping block 24 to move horizontally and move closer to the railing post. When the clamping groove 240 clamps the railing post, the user stops rotating the adjusting heads 220, and the fixing plate 20 is fixed to the nursing bed railing. Then, the user rotates the adjusting screw 26, which drives the threaded rod 25 to rotate. As the threaded rod 25 rotates, the sleeve 15 drives the turning pad 1 to move horizontally on the hospital bed. When the turning pad 1 moves to the desired position, the user stops moving the turning pad 1. Finally, the user can use the turning pad 1 to assist the patient in turning over.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
