[0015] Example 1: An adjustable pressure ulcer prevention and turning mat, referenced Figure 1 , Figure 2The invention includes a support frame 1, within which a flipping component 3 and an adjustment component 4 are respectively arranged. A mattress body 2 is positioned above the support frame 1. The flipping component 3 includes a first drive mechanism that contacts the mattress body 2 via a flipping plate 305. The adjustment component 4 includes a second drive mechanism that contacts the mattress body 2 via an adjustment plate 404. This invention utilizes a support frame with a flipping component and an adjustment component, with the mattress body positioned above the support frame. The first drive mechanism of the flipping component contacts the mattress body via a flipping plate, thereby assisting the patient in turning over, reducing the time of pressure on specific areas of the patient's body, and effectively preventing pressure sores. The second drive mechanism of the adjustment component, contacting the mattress body via an adjustment plate, can adjust the height and angle of the mattress to meet the needs of different patients, further improving patient comfort and nursing effectiveness.
[0016] Example 2: Based on Example 1, with reference to... Figure 3 The supporting frame 1 is a rectangular frame. Symmetrically arranged on the inner sides of the two long-side columns of the rectangular frame are first motor mounts. Two first reduction motors 301 are respectively mounted on the two first motor mounts. Each output end of the first reduction motor 301 is equipped with a worm gear 302, which meshes with a worm wheel 306. The worm wheel 306 is mounted on a control rod 304. Both ends of the control rod 304 pass through support plates 303 and are fixedly connected to a flipping plate 305. Both support plates 303 are mounted on corresponding first motor mounts. Bearings are provided at the connection points between the support plates 303 and the control rod 304. This invention uses first reduction motors to drive the worm gears to rotate. The worm gears mesh with the worm wheels, and the worm gears, worm wheels, and control rods cooperate to achieve the rotation of the flipping plate, thereby assisting the patient in turning over, reducing the time of localized pressure on the patient's body, and effectively preventing pressure sores.
[0017] Example 3: Based on Example 2, the flipping plate 305 adopts an L-shaped plate bent into a "7" shape, with an obtuse angle. The vertical end of the "7" shape is fixedly connected to the control rod 304, and the horizontal plate of the "7" shape contacts the mattress body 2. This utility model uses an L-shaped plate bent into a "7" shape flipping plate, with the vertical end of the "7" shape fixedly connected to the control rod. The first reduction motor drives the control rod to rotate sequentially through a worm gear and a worm wheel. The control rod drives the flipping plate to rotate, thereby assisting the patient in turning over, reducing the time of local pressure on the patient's body, and effectively preventing pressure sores.
[0018] Example 4: Based on Example 3, any one of the control rods 304 and the flip plates 305 at both ends form a U-shaped structure, with the opening of the U-shaped structure on one side located inside the opening of the U-shaped structure on the other side. This invention uses a control rod and the flip plates at both ends to form a U-shaped structure, with the opening of the U-shaped structure on one side located inside the opening of the U-shaped structure on the other side. Two first reduction motors rotate respectively, driving either one side of the U-shaped structure or the other side of the U-shaped structure to rotate, thereby assisting the patient in turning over, reducing the time of local pressure on the patient's body, and effectively preventing pressure sores.
[0019] Example 5: Based on Example 3, with reference to... Figure 4 The adjustment component 4 includes a fixing plate 406. Symmetrically arranged fixing plates 406 are located on the inner side of one short-side column of the rectangular frame. Each fixing plate 406 is equipped with a lead screw 407. One end of the lead screw 407 is connected to the output end of a second reduction motor 408. A drive block 403 is mounted on the lead screw 407. The top surface of the drive block 403 is connected to the rectangular frame via a slider 402 and a guide rail 401. The bottom surface of the drive block 403 is fixedly connected to one end of a connecting rod 409. This invention uses a second reduction motor to drive the lead screw to rotate, causing the drive block to slide on the guide rail, which in turn drives the connecting rod on the bottom surface of the drive block to rotate. This allows for adjustment of the mattress height and angle to meet the needs of different patients, further improving patient comfort and nursing effectiveness.
[0020] Example 6: Based on Example 5, the connecting rod 409 has a bent structure, and the other end of the connecting rod 409 is hinged to the adjusting plate 404. This utility model uses a bent connecting rod, with the other end of the connecting rod hinged to the adjusting plate. The connecting rod drives the adjusting plate to rotate, allowing adjustment of the mattress height and angle to meet the needs of different patients, further improving patient comfort and nursing effectiveness.
[0021] Example 7: Based on Example 6, the two adjustment plates 404 are connected by a fixed shaft 405, with both ends of the fixed shaft 405 rotatably connected to the support frame 1. This invention uses a fixed shaft to connect the two adjustment plates. By rotating the adjustment plates, the height and angle of the mattress can be adjusted to meet the needs of different patients, further improving patient comfort and nursing effectiveness.
[0022] Example 8: Based on Example 1, the mattress body 2 is equipped with multiple independent airbag groups. Each airbag group includes a left airbag, a right airbag, and a central airbag. The left, right, and central airbags are all connected to an inflation / deflation mechanism. This invention employs multiple independent airbag groups, each including a left, right, and central airbag. Depending on the patient's body shape and pressure distribution, the left, right, and central airbags can be inflated or deflated individually. By inflating and deflating different airbags, the shape and pressure distribution of the mattress surface are adjusted, dispersing the patient's body pressure and further reducing the risk of pressure sores.
[0023] Example 9: Based on Example 8, the inflation / deflation mechanism includes an air pump and a solenoid valve. The air pump is connected to the left, right, and central airbags via air pipes, and the solenoid valve is installed on the air pipes. In this invention, the air pump is connected to the left, right, and central airbags via air pipes, and the solenoid valve is installed on the air pipes. By opening and closing the solenoid valve, the inflation and deflation operations of each airbag are realized, thereby adjusting the height and rigidity of the airbags.
[0024] Example 10: Based on Example 8, the surface of the mattress body 2 is further equipped with a temperature sensor, and a heating wire is installed inside the mattress body 2. This invention utilizes a temperature sensor on the surface of the mattress body to monitor the surface temperature in real time; and a heating wire installed inside the mattress body. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature is below a set value, the heating wire power switch is turned on to heat the mattress, providing a warm and comfortable environment for the patient; when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature reaches the set value, the heating wire power switch is turned off, improving user comfort.
[0025] In specific implementation, the working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: When it is necessary to assist the patient in turning over, the first reduction motor 301 is started. The first reduction motor 301 drives the worm gear 302 to rotate. The worm gear 302 cooperates with the control rod 304 to rotate the control rod 304, which in turn drives the flipping plate 305 to rotate around its connection point with the support frame 1. Because the flipping plate 305 is designed with an L-shaped plate structure with an obtuse angle opening, it can lift one side of the patient's body during rotation, realizing the patient's turning over, effectively reducing the pressure time on the same part of the patient's body, and preventing the occurrence of pressure sores.
[0026] If the height and angle of the mattress need to be adjusted, the second reduction motor 408 is started. The output shaft of the second reduction motor 408 drives the lead screw 407 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 407 causes the drive block 403 to slide on the guide rail 401 along the axis of the lead screw 407. The drive block 403 drives the adjustment plate 404 to rotate around the fixed shaft 405 through the connecting rod 409, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height and angle of the mattress to meet the physical conditions and care needs of different patients.
[0027] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
