Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a supine patient expectoration and back-patting device. Background Technology

[0002] Respiratory diseases are common in daily life, and most are accompanied by lung infections, with symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, difficulty breathing, and excessive sputum. In severe cases, respiratory failure can endanger life. In the treatment process, in addition to drug treatment, airway care is one of the most common concerns in clinical practice. Sputum clearance is the most basic and common nursing intervention in airway care. The traditional method of sputum clearance is to use manual percussion. Because this method is manual, the force is relatively uneven and cannot be maintained at the same frequency, and the duration is not long, which is not conducive to the patient's sputum discharge.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN221130388U discloses a shoulder strap type vibrating sputum expectorant, including a vibrating sputum expectorant body. A first sliding plate is slidably connected to the front of the vibrating sputum expectorant body, and a connecting seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first sliding plate. A connecting sleeve is threadedly connected to the inner side of the connecting seat. A second sliding plate is slidably connected to the back of the vibrating sputum expectorant body, and an installation box is connected to the inner side of the vibrating sputum expectorant body. An electromagnetic vibrator is fixedly connected inside the installation box. This patented device allows the second sliding plate to slide on the back of the vibrating sputum expectorant body. When the second sliding plate slides, it can drive the installation box to move. When the installation box moves, it can drive the first sliding plate to slide on the front of the vibrating sputum expectorant body, thereby adjusting the position of the connecting seat and the connecting sleeve. This allows the user to adjust the vibration position of the vibrating sputum expectorant, making the vibrating sputum expectorant suitable for different users and ensuring efficiency for different users.

[0004] In actual use, the device disclosed in the aforementioned patent contacts the user's back with the connecting seat and connecting sleeve, resulting in a large area of ​​the user's back being unsupported and unable to support the user's spine.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a supine patient sputum expectoration and back-patting device, which is more suitable for supine and lateral positions. It includes a frame 1, which is composed of a curved plate 101, bony wings 102, and shoulder pads 103. The shoulder pads 103 are located at the top of the curved plate 101. Multiple bony wings 102 are provided, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the curved plate 101. The curvature of the curved plate 101 adapts to the curvature of the human spine, thus conforming to the user's spine and providing maximum support and protection. The shoulder pads 103 on the curved plate 101 provide support to the user's shoulders, facilitating the wearing and positioning of the frame 1 and improving the overall support effect. Six bony wings 102 are provided, with two bony wings forming a group, and each group of bony wings 102 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the curved plate 101. The bony wings 102 can be distributed at different positions on the user's back, increasing the range of back-patting.

[0035] The supine patient sputum expectoration and back-patting device also includes a vibrating component, which is used to tap the user's back to assist in sputum expectoration. The vibrating component is connected to the bone wing 102, and each bone wing 102 is provided with two vibrating components. Each bone wing 102 has two mounting slots 7, which can be embedded in the vibrating component to avoid the vibrating component protruding and affecting the patient's lying position after wearing. Even when lying down, there is no need to take off the device. The device can be turned on when sputum expectoration is needed, which can improve the portability of use. At the same time, the vibrating component on each set of bone wings 102 is connected to a master control switch. The vibrating components on the three sets of bone wings 102 are provided with three independent master control switches, which can select the corresponding vibrating component to work according to the actual back-patting needs, so as to ensure the effect of sputum expectoration and back-patting.

[0036] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the vibrating assembly includes a housing 2 disposed inside a mounting slot 7. An electromagnetic vibrator 3 is installed inside the housing 2. The output end of the electromagnetic vibrator 3 passes through the housing 2 and a tapping head 4 is installed thereon. One end of the tapping head 4 extends to the outside of the bone wing 102. The mounting slot 7 consists of two interconnected holes of different diameters. The outer diameter of the housing 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the tapping head 4. This design allows the housing 2 to be installed with one side against the inner wall of the mounting slot 7, and the tapping head 4 to pass through the tapping hole 701 on the mounting slot 7. This ensures the stability of the mounting slot 7 while allowing the tapping head 4 to extend out of the bone wing 102 and make close contact with the patient's back. The vibration of the electromagnetic vibrator 3 drives the tapping head 4 to move accordingly. Under the action of the tapping head 4, the vibration force can be transmitted to the patient's back. With the cooperation of multiple vibrating assemblies, sputum that has been retained in the patient's lungs or deeper layers can be loosened, promoting the secretion of serous cells and diluting the viscosity of the sputum, thereby assisting the user in expectorating sputum. A plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the housing 2. A slot 8 for accommodating the plate 5 is provided inside the rib wing 102, and the slot 8 communicates with the mounting slot 7. Multiple protrusions 6 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer side of the housing 2. Multiple receiving slots 9 are provided inside the rib wing 102, and the end of the protrusion 6 away from the housing 2 extends into the receiving slot 9. By using the plate 5 on the housing 2 in conjunction with the slot 8 on the rib wing 102, the housing 2 can be guided and positioned during installation, preventing misalignment and ensuring that the electrical terminals of the vibrating assembly are at the wiring opening. The protrusions 6 have certain deformation characteristics. When the housing 2 is installed inside the mounting slot 7, the protrusions 6 deform under pressure. When the protrusions 6 move to the position of the receiving slot 9, their shape returns to normal and they are locked inside the receiving slot 9, thus fixing the housing 2 inside the mounting slot 7 and completing the installation of the vibrating assembly. Meanwhile, the cooperation of multiple protrusions 6 with the receiving groove 9 and the insertion plate 5 with the insertion groove 8 can prevent the vibrating component from rotating inside the bone wing 102 when the electromagnetic vibrator 3 vibrates, thus ensuring the stability of the equipment during use. Each housing 2 has an arc-shaped groove 201 inside, and one end of the housing 2 has a buckle plate 202 covering the outside of the arc-shaped groove 201. The arc-shaped groove 201 inside the housing 2 makes it convenient for the user to insert their fingers and use them in conjunction with the buckle plate 202 to directly pull the electromagnetic vibrator 3 out of the mounting slot 7 to complete the disassembly of the vibrating component, which is convenient for operation.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a restraint strap 10 is installed at the end of the bone wing 102 away from the frame 1. The end of the restraint strap 10 away from the bone wing 102 is provided with an interlocking buckle 11. Through the cooperation of the restraint straps 10 and buckles 11 on the two bone wings 102, the frame 1 can be fixed to the user's back to ensure the stability of the device during sputum drainage and back percussion. Multiple ribs 12 are provided on the outer side of the frame 1, and the ribs 12 are integrally formed with the frame 1. The ribs 12 provided on the frame 1 can improve the overall structural strength and reduce the occurrence of irreversible deformation of the frame 1, thereby extending the service life of the device. The curved plate 101 and the bone wing 102 are both provided with wire grooves 13. Multiple wire baffles 14 are provided inside the wire grooves 13. The wire grooves 13 provided on the curved plate 101 and the bone wing 102 facilitate the concealed wiring of the vibrating component wires, which not only improves the overall aesthetics but also prevents the wires from being squeezed and damaged.

[0038] The workflow of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0039] When using this sputum expectoration and back percussion device, first install the vibration assembly on the bone wing 102, align the insert plate 5 with the insertion slot 8, and insert the housing 2 into the mounting slot 7. During this process, the protrusion 6 on the outside of the housing 2 is deformed by pressure. After the housing 2 is inserted into the mounting slot 7, the protrusion 6 and the receiving groove 9 are at the same horizontal position. At this time, the shape of the protrusion 6 is restored and inserted into the receiving groove 9 to complete the fixation of the housing 2. After the vibration assembly is installed, place the frame 1 on the user's back. First, position the frame 1 according to the curvature of the curvature plate 101 and the curvature of the user's spine, and make fine adjustments to make the frame 1 fit the user's back. Then, fix the frame 1 to the user's back with the restraint strap 10 and the buckle 11. Select the total number of vibration assemblies on each set of bone wings 102 to be turned on according to the needs of sputum expectoration and back percussion. The control switch can be turned on, or all the vibrating components on the three sets of bone wings 102 can be turned on. The vibration of the electromagnetic vibrator 3 drives the tapping head 4 to move accordingly. Under the action of the tapping head 4, the vibration force can be transmitted to the patient's back to tap and pat the user's back. With the cooperation of the vibrating components, the sputum that has been retained in the patient's lungs or deeper layers can be loosened, the secretion of serous cells can be promoted, and the viscosity of the sputum can be diluted to help the user expel sputum. Since the vibrating components are embedded, the device can be removed or worn again after one back tapping. When it is necessary to disinfect the frame 1, insert your fingers into the arc groove 201 and pull the housing 2 directly out of the mounting slot 7 with the buckle part 202. Then remove the wires in the wire groove 13. After that, the frame 1 and the restraint strap 10 can be cleaned and disinfected.

[0040] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art can fully understand this utility model without these details. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
