Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nursing technology for mental patients, specifically a restraint belt for mental patients. Background Technology

[0002] Mental illness is a disease that arises from the interaction of various biological, psychological, and complex social environmental factors. Its prominent feature is brain dysfunction, which leads to varying degrees of abnormalities and disorders in multiple mental activity areas such as cognition, emotion, will, and behavior. These abnormalities become its main clinical manifestations. In the process of caring for mental patients, caregivers often encounter situations where patients are uncooperative. Due to the special mental state of patients, their thoughts and behaviors are often difficult to control. When caregivers try to restrain patients with restraint belts for necessary purposes such as treatment or safety, patients are likely to resist.

[0003] The existing restraint straps for mental patients have the following shortcomings: When restraining a patient, the size of the restraint strap must be carefully adjusted according to the thickness of the patient's arm. Even if caregivers spend time adjusting the strap to fit the patient's arm, the final result is only an adaptive change in the size of the restraint strap. In actual situations where mental patients strongly resist, especially when the patient is in a state of extreme agitation and struggle, the powerful force they unleash often makes the restraint strap easily break free. Due to the lack of an effective mechanism to deal with the huge pulling force generated by the patient's struggle, once the patient breaks free of the restraint, it may cause them to crash into surrounding objects or injure themselves in an uncontrolled state. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a restraint belt for mental patients, including an adjustment belt and a restraint belt located at the top center of the adjustment belt, as well as adjustment structures located above the adjustment belt and on both sides of the restraint belt. The bottom of the adjustment belt is fixedly connected to a locking belt for connecting to a hospital bed.

[0005] The adjustment structure includes A threaded holes that are equally spaced on the inner wall of the adjustment belt, adjustment blocks that are slidably connected to both ends of the adjustment belt, and a plug sleeve. The inner wall of the plug sleeve is provided with two A plug slots and B plug slots.

[0006] Preferably, a plug-in block is fixedly connected to the right side of the adjusting block and at the right end of the adjusting belt, and the inner wall of the plug-in block is provided with a mounting hole that matches the threaded hole.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the plug sleeve is provided with a B threaded hole that matches the A threaded hole, and a screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the B threaded hole.

[0008] Preferably, a washer is provided at the middle of the screw and the adjusting belt, and the plug sleeve is locked to the outside of the adjusting belt by the screw and the washer.

[0009] Preferably, the locking strap is provided with a sub-strap and a main strap, and the sub-strap and the main strap can be locked together at the railing of the hospital bed by a buckle.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] This invention, through the design of an adjustable strap, a restraint strap, and an adjustable structure, allows for the precise locking of the adjustable strap when restraining a mental patient. The restraint strap is tightly fitted to the patient's arm to initially stabilize their limb movements. Then, based on the actual thickness of the patient's arm, the position of the insert sleeve is adjusted by pulling it. The insert block is then inserted into slot A, then around and finally inserted into slot B. A screw is used to rotate between the threaded holes A and B and the inner wall of the mounting groove. During rotation, the threaded connection provides strong restraining force in all directions, effectively preventing displacement or loosening due to the patient's struggles or external interference. Simultaneously, the screw's fixing effect stabilizes the insert block's position within slots A and B, thus achieving precise locking of the adjustable strap. At this point, the adjustable strap is firmly positioned above the restraint strap. Together, they form a stable and efficient second locking structure, greatly enhancing the restraint effect on the patient. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a restraint belt for mental patients, including an adjustment belt 1 and a restraint belt 2 located at the top center of the adjustment belt 1, as well as an adjustment structure 3 located above the adjustment belt 1 and on both sides of the restraint belt 2. The bottom of the adjustment belt 1 is fixedly connected to a locking belt 4 for connecting to the hospital bed.

[0020] The adjustment structure 3 includes A threaded holes 31 that are equally spaced on the inner wall of the adjustment belt 1, adjustment blocks 32 that are slidably connected to both ends of the adjustment belt 1, and a plug sleeve 33. The inner wall of the plug sleeve 33 is provided with two A plug slots and B plug slots.

[0021] The above scheme employs the following design: Through the adjustment band 1, restraint band 2, and adjustment structure 3, when restraint is required on a mental patient, restraint band 2 is tightly fitted to the patient's arm to ensure initial stabilization of limb movements. Then, based on the actual thickness of the patient's arm, the insertion sleeve 33 is pulled to adjust its position. Next, insertion block 34 is inserted into insertion slot A, then around and finally inserted into insertion slot B. Based on this, screw 35 is rotatably connected between threaded holes A and B and the inner wall of the mounting groove. During rotation, the threaded connection provides strong restraining force to insertion sleeve 33 in all directions, effectively preventing displacement or loosening due to the patient's struggle or external interference. Simultaneously, the fixing effect of screw 35 stabilizes the position of insertion block 34 within insertion slots A and B, thus achieving precise locking of the adjustment band 1. At this point, adjustment band 1 is firmly positioned above restraint band 2. The two work together to form a stable and efficient second locking structure, greatly increasing the restraint effect on the patient.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a plug-in block 34 is fixedly connected to the right side of the adjusting block 32 and the right end of the adjusting belt 1. The inner wall of the plug-in block 34 is provided with an installation hole that matches the threaded hole. The bottom of the plug-in sleeve 33 is provided with a B threaded hole that matches the A threaded hole 31. A screw 35 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the B threaded hole.

[0023] The above solution, by setting up the plug-in block 34, the plug-in sleeve 33, and the corresponding threaded hole and screw 35, makes the length adjustment of the adjustment belt 1 simple and easy. Nursing staff can easily insert the plug-in block 34 into the appropriate position of the plug-in sleeve 33 according to the actual thickness of the patient's arm, and then quickly fix it with the screw 35. When the screw 35 is screwed into the B threaded hole and cooperates with the A threaded hole 31, the tight engagement between the threads can form a stable constraint on the plug-in sleeve 33 and the plug-in block 34 in all directions. This allows the entire adjustment structure 3 to maintain a firm connection when subjected to external forces such as the patient's struggle and twisting, effectively preventing the adjustment belt 1 from loosening or shifting.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a washer 36 is provided in the middle of the screw 35 and the adjusting belt 1. The plug sleeve 33 is locked to the outside of the adjusting belt 1 by the screw 35 and the washer 36. The locking belt 4 is provided with a sub-belt 41 and a mother belt 42. The sub-belt 41 and the mother belt 42 can be locked to the railing of the hospital bed by a buckle.

[0025] The above solution utilizes the following: The pad 36 firstly disperses pressure. When the screw 35 is tightened to secure the insert sleeve 33 and the adjusting belt 1, the patient may struggle violently, resulting in significant local pressure. The pad 36 evenly distributes this pressure across the surface of the adjusting belt 1, preventing localized damage or breakage due to concentrated pressure. This extends the lifespan of the adjusting belt 1 and ensures it maintains good restraint performance over extended periods. Simultaneously, the pad 36 enhances the stability of the connection between the screw 35 and the adjusting belt 1, reducing the possibility of loosening due to friction or minor displacement, further strengthening the reliability of the entire restraint device. The separable and locking connection of the sub-belt 41 and the main belt 42 facilitates operation by nursing staff, allowing for quick adjustment and connection based on the actual shape and size of the bed railing and the patient's specific position, adapting to different bed environments and patient conditions. The restraint belt 2 is existing technology, and when fixed to the patient's arm, it requires Velcro for securing. Since it is existing technology, it will not be elaborated further.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model:

[0027] First, the caregiver takes the restraint strap and places it on the patient's arm, wrapping it around the arm to secure it and ensure it initially restricts the patient's range of motion. Next, depending on the patient's arm's circumference, the caregiver pulls the insert sleeves 33 at both ends of the adjusting strap 1, sliding it along the strap 1 until it is adjusted to a suitable position, making the adjusting strap 1 roughly fit the circumference of the patient's arm. Then, the insert block 34 on the right side of the adjusting block 32 is inserted into the A insert groove on the inner wall of the insert sleeve 33. Finally, the adjusting strap 1 is wrapped around the patient's arm. Continue inserting the plug block 34 into the B plug slot. Then, take the screw 35, pass it through the mounting hole on the inner wall of the plug block 34, and screw it into the B threaded hole and the corresponding A threaded hole 31 at the bottom of the plug sleeve 33 until the screw 35 is tightened, so that the plug sleeve 33 and the plug block 34 are firmly fixed. At this time, the adjusting belt 1 is precisely locked in the appropriate position, above the restraint belt 2. The two together form a stable second locking structure. Finally, wrap the sub-belt 41 and the main belt 42 of the locking belt 4 around the bed railing and lock them together with the buckle.
