Detailed Implementation

[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] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable medical turning pillow, including a pillow body 1 and a support plate 2 rotatably disposed on one side of the pillow body 1. An adjustment cavity 3 is formed at the upper end of the pillow body 1, and a ventilation cavity 4 is formed between the pillow body 1 and the support plate 2. Two sets of sealing plates 5 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the adjustment cavity 3, and two sets of side plates 6 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the ventilation cavity 4. An adjustment assembly is built into the adjustment cavity 3, including a rotating rod 7, a toggle block 8, a connector 9, and a rotating handle 10. The rotating rod 7 is rotatably disposed within the adjustment cavity 3, and its two ends are respectively connected to the two sets of sealing plates 5. The toggle block 8 is fixed to the rotating rod 7, and the connector 9... The head 9 is installed at the front end of the rotating rod 7 and has a pentagonal socket 11 machined inside. The rotating handle 10 passes through the sealing plate 5 and its inner end is inserted into the pentagonal socket 11. The outer end of the rotating handle 10 is threaded with a limit bolt 12. The surface of the sealing plate 5 is machined with several sets of limit holes 13 that are used in conjunction with the limit bolt 12. The surfaces of the pillow body 1 and the support plate 2 are both covered with a sponge pad 14. The sponge pad 14 at the bottom of the pillow body 1 has a corrugated structure to increase friction. The sponge pad 14 on the support plate 2 and the support plate 2 are both provided with several sets of ventilation holes 15. The ventilation holes 15 are connected to the ventilation cavity 4.

[0020] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pillow body 1 is made of a rigid plate and has an overall triangular prism structure, while the support plate 2 has an inwardly concave arc structure.

[0021] Further improvements, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rotating handle 10 includes a pentagonal prism 16 and a disc 17 fixed to one side of the outer end of the pentagonal prism 16. The pentagonal prism 16 is inserted into the pentagonal socket 11. A handle 18 is installed on the disc 17. A limiting bolt 12 is inserted into the disc 17 and its inner end is inserted into the limiting hole 13. Inserting the pentagonal prism 16 into the pentagonal socket 11 and driving the handle 18 can drive the pentagonal prism 16, the rotating rod 7, and the actuating block 8 to rotate synchronously. The actuating block 8 acts on the support plate 2, which can achieve the purpose of fine adjustment of the angle of the support plate 2 and improve the patient's comfort when attached.

[0022] Further improvements, such as Figure 4As shown, the end cross-section of the actuating block 8 is fan-shaped and the width of one end is smaller than that of the other end. The actuating block 8 is in contact with the support plate 2. This design allows the actuating block 8 to act on the support plate 2 during rotation, thereby adjusting the angle of the support plate 2 to a certain extent and improving the patient's comfort.

[0023] Specifically, the surface of the side plate 6 is evenly provided with several sets of air inlets 19, which are connected to the ventilation chamber 4. The air inlets 19, together with the ventilation chamber 14 and the ventilation holes 15, form a ventilation channel to improve the breathability and comfort of the patient when the back is supported.

[0024] In use: When a patient needs back support using the turning pillow, medical staff can place the turning pillow on the bed and keep the patient in a side-lying position so that the back can be attached to the support plate 2. When the angle of support needs to be adjusted, the medical staff inserts the pentagonal prism 16 into the pentagonal socket 11 and drives the handle 18 to drive the pentagonal prism 16, the rotating rod 7, and the actuating block 8 to rotate synchronously. The actuating block 8 acts on the support plate 2 to achieve the purpose of fine adjustment of the angle of the support plate 2. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the limiting bolt 12 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 13 to achieve the purpose of positioning, which improves the patient's comfort when attached. The operation is simple and easy to use.
