Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turning-over pillow technology, specifically a novel turning-over pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Turning pillows are commonly used assistive devices in the fields of medical care and home care. Their core purpose is to assist bedridden patients in turning over and to maintain a stable lateral or semi-recumbent position after turning over, thereby reducing the physical exertion of caregivers in manually turning the patient and reducing the risk of pressure sores that may occur due to prolonged bed rest. Their common form is a filled main structure, and the materials are mostly flexible materials such as sponge and fiber cotton. Some products are combined with basic support structures to adapt to the needs of different care scenarios and are widely used in hospital wards, rehabilitation institutions and home care environments.

[0003] Currently available traditional turning pillows have limited functionality. Most products only provide basic body support and cannot meet additional needs such as waterproofing, urine protection, and wound care. When patients experience urine leakage or have wounds on their lower back or buttocks that require dressing changes, additional items such as sheets and protective pads are needed, increasing the complexity of the nursing procedure. Secondly, they lack ease of use. Traditional turning pillows lack a dedicated assistive structure. When small or weak caregivers assist patients in turning over, they need to apply force directly to the patient's body or the pillow, which is not only strenuous but may also increase patient discomfort due to improper force application. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel turning pillow to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel turning pillow, comprising a bottom layer, a top layer connected to the top of the bottom layer, and a buffer layer connected between the top layer and the bottom layer; four first handles and two straps are respectively connected to the top two sides of the top of the top layer; first Velcro is connected to both sides of the bottom of the bottom layer, and the bottom of each of the two first Velcro is connected to the turning pillow body through a second Velcro; a connecting strap is connected to the bottom of the turning pillow body.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the turning assistance pad composed of the bottom layer, the surface layer and the buffer layer is the basic support unit. The first handle provides a turning assistance fulcrum, the straps realize the fixation of the body position, the turning pillow body connected by Velcro supplements the support function, and the connecting straps ensure the integrity of the components. The whole solution solves the problems of the traditional turning pillow having a single function and being difficult to operate. It not only meets the basic turning needs, but also adapts to subsequent fixation of body position and nursing operations.

[0007] Furthermore, the surface layer is made of non-woven fabric, the bottom layer is made of waterproof canvas, and the cushioning layer is made of hydrocolloid gel.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, the non-woven fabric surface layer is skin-friendly and breathable, reducing the stuffiness and discomfort of patients when in contact with it for a long time; the waterproof canvas bottom layer can block the leakage of urine and body fluids, eliminating the need for additional adhesive sheets and reducing the complexity of nursing operations; the hydrocolloid gel buffer layer has both softness and support, conforming to the curves of the patient's waist and hips, reducing the local pressure when turning over.

[0009] Furthermore, the buffer layer is provided in multiple forms, and the multiple buffer layers are distributed in a rectangular array.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer layer can be divided into zones to limit movement, reducing the large-scale flow and displacement of the hydrocolloid gel due to force during the turning process, maintaining uniform support thickness in each area, avoiding tilting of the patient's body during turning due to uneven support, and ensuring the stability and safety of the turning operation.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body of the turning pillow is detachably connected to the bottom layer via a second Velcro strap and a first Velcro strap.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the main body of the turning assistance pad and the turning pillow can be modularly separated. Users can flexibly choose the usage mode according to their actual needs. When only waterproofing and urine protection or basic turning assistance are needed, the turning assistance pad can be used alone. When postural support is needed after turning over, the two can be used together, reducing the limitation of the traditional turning pillow's single function and adapting to different care scenarios such as hospitals and homes.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body of the turning pillow is provided in two sets, for a total of six, and the two sets of turning pillow bodies are arranged in a mirror image.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the two sets of mirror-distributed turning pillows can conform to the contours of the patient's waist and hips. Using one set alone can support one side of the patient, improving the fit of the support. At the same time, the six turning pillows are arranged in a three-section structure with three in each group. Each section can be flipped independently. When the patient has wounds on their waist and hips that need dressing changes, the corresponding section of the turning pillow can be flipped open to reduce the pressure of the turning pillow on the wound without affecting the support effect of other areas.

[0015] Furthermore, there are two connecting straps, and the two connecting straps are respectively connected to the two sets of turning pillow bodies.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the main body of the turning pillow is flipped or its position is adjusted, the connecting strap can maintain the connection between the two sets of turning pillow bodies, reduce the situation where the turning pillow body is lost or falls to the ground due to improper operation, ensure the integrity of the parts, and reduce the difficulty of subsequent operation of tidying up the turning pillow body.

[0017] Furthermore, two of the main bodies of the turning pillow are connected to a second handle on their outer surface and the back of the other two main bodies of the turning pillow.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when turning over a single section of the turning pillow, force can be applied using the handle on the outer surface; when the entire turning pillow needs to be removed for cleaning or storage, it can be lifted using the handle on the back, reducing the frequency of direct contact with the surface of the turning pillow and reducing physical exertion during operation.

[0019] Furthermore, the main body of the turning pillow consists of an outer layer, a zipper sewn to the surface of the outer layer, and a filling layer inside the outer layer. The filling layer is detachably connected to the outer layer via the zipper. The outer layer of the turning pillow is made of waterproof canvas material, and the filling layer of the turning pillow is made of high-density sponge material.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the high-density sponge filling layer can maintain its shape for a long time, providing stable positional support for patients; the waterproof canvas surface can reduce the penetration of urine and body fluids into the filling layer, reducing the risk of contamination; the zipper design facilitates quick disassembly and replacement when the filling layer ages or becomes contaminated, reducing product scrap due to filling layer problems and extending the overall service life.

[0021] Furthermore, the bottom layer, the first handle, and the strap are all fixedly connected to the top layer by sewing, and the first Velcro is fixedly connected to the bottom layer by sewing, while the second Velcro, the second handle, and the connecting strap are all fixedly connected to the main body of the turning pillow by sewing.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solutions, the connection strength between each component and the main structure can be enhanced, reducing the possibility of components loosening or falling off during long-term use and repeated turning operations, ensuring the overall structural stability of the product, avoiding the impact on care safety due to component detachment, and reducing the frequency of subsequent maintenance and component replacement.

[0023] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0024] 1. This utility model, through the design of a bottom layer, a cushioning pad, a top layer, a first handle, and straps, uses a combination of waterproof canvas for the bottom layer and non-woven fabric for the top layer. This combination allows the turning aid pad to be both waterproof and urine-resistant, replacing traditional plastic sheets, reducing the need for additional nursing equipment and simplifying operation. The cushioning layer is designed with multiple rectangular array units, which reduces the large-scale flow of hydrocolloid gel during turning, improves the uniformity of support thickness, and ensures stable support during turning. The first handle provides a point of leverage for caregivers, reducing the physical exertion required to assist patients in turning and minimizing operational strain. The straps can be fixed to the bed rails, assisting in adjusting the patient's specific positional angle after turning and reducing postural shifts, thus improving nursing safety. Enhanced functionality makes it convenient to use.

[0025] 2. This utility model, through the design of the main body of the turning pillow and the connecting straps, features a two-unit, three-section structure for the main body of the turning pillow. Each section of the turning pillow can be flipped and moved independently. During this process, care should be taken to loosen the straps from the bed rails to facilitate the unfolding of the turning aid pad, which consists of a base, a cushioning layer, and a surface layer. When the patient has wounds on their lower back or hips requiring dressing changes, the flipped-over section of the turning pillow reduces pressure on the wounds while exposing the wound area for easier nursing care. The remaining sections of the turning pillow continue to provide support for the patient. Two connecting straps connect the two sets of turning pillow sections, maintaining the connection between components when the turning pillow is unfolded, reducing the risk of the pillow being lost or falling to the ground, improving convenience and component integrity during use, and further facilitating nursing care.

[0026] 3. This utility model, through the setting of the first and second hook and loop fasteners, forms a detachable connection structure. Users can choose to use the turning assistance pad composed of the base pad, buffer layer and surface layer alone, or use the turning assistance pad and the turning pillow body in combination, according to actual needs. This effectively reduces the limitation of the single function of traditional turning pillows, adapts to the diverse needs of more scenarios such as hospital wards and home care, and improves the applicability of the product; the modular structure makes it easy to cope with more usage scenarios.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] New types of turning pillows, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a bottom layer 1 made of waterproof canvas. A top layer 3, made of non-woven fabric, is connected to the top of the bottom layer 1. A buffer layer 2, made of hydrocolloid gel, is connected between the top layer 3 and the bottom layer 1. Multiple buffer layers 2 are arranged in a rectangular array. The waterproof canvas of the bottom layer 1 prevents leakage of urine or bodily fluids, avoiding soiling the bedding and eliminating the need for traditional sheets, thus reducing the complexity of nursing procedures. The non-woven fabric of the top layer 3 remains skin-friendly and breathable, improving the patient's comfort during long-term contact. The multi-unit structure of the buffer layers 2, arranged in a rectangular array, reduces the large-scale flow of the hydrocolloid gel during turning, maintaining uniform support thickness in each area and providing a stable support base for subsequent turning operations, preventing patient discomfort due to uneven support.

[0037] Four first handles 4 and two straps 5 are connected to the top two sides of the surface layer 3. When turning the patient over, the caregiver can hold two of the first handles 4 to apply force. The first handles 4 provide a clear fulcrum for applying force, eliminating the need to directly press on the patient's body or the main body of the turning pillow 8. This greatly reduces the physical exertion of small and weak caregivers, reduces the problem of strenuous operation, and avoids increasing the patient's discomfort due to improper application of force, making it easy to turn the patient to one side. After the patient is turned over, the caregiver can tie one of the straps 5 to the bed rail to control the angle of the patient's body position after turning over.

[0038] Both sides of the bottom of the bottom layer 1 are connected with first Velcro 6. The bottom of each of the two first Velcro 6 is connected to the main body of the turning pillow 8 through second Velcro 7. According to the actual care needs, the use of the turning aid pad and the main body of the turning pillow 8, which are composed of the bottom layer 1, the buffer layer 2, and the top layer 3, can be determined by attaching or separating the first Velcro 6 and the second Velcro 7. If only waterproofing and urine protection or basic turning assistance are needed, the two can be separated and used separately as the turning aid pad. If postural support is needed after turning over, the two can be connected to the main body of the turning pillow and the turning aid pad through the first Velcro 6 and the second Velcro 7.

[0039] There are two sets of six turning pillow bodies 8. The two sets of turning pillow bodies 8 are mirror images of each other. The turning pillow bodies 8 are detachably connected to the bottom layer 1 via the second Velcro 7 and the first Velcro 6. There are two connecting straps 10 at the bottom of the turning pillow bodies 8. The two connecting straps 10 are connected to the two sets of turning pillow bodies 8 respectively. When turning over, one set of turning pillow bodies 8 naturally fits against the bed surface and the patient's waist and buttocks under the action of gravity, which can continuously provide stable positional support for the patient. If there is a wound on the patient's waist and buttocks that needs to be dressed, the nursing staff first unties the strap 5 to avoid the strap 5 pulling on the turning pad and affecting the operation. Then the nursing staff can flip any section of the turning pillow body 8 individually. During the turning process, the connecting straps 10 connected to the two sets of turning pillow bodies 8 can maintain the connection between the turned pillow body 8 and the overall structure, reducing the possibility of the turning pillow body 8 being lost or falling to the ground. At the same time, the turned pillow body 8 that is not flipped can still maintain support for the patient, which exposes the wound for dressing change and reduces the probability of the wound being compressed.

[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the above embodiment, two of the turning pillow bodies 8 are connected to the outer surface of the two turning pillow bodies 8 and the back of the other two turning pillow bodies 8, so as to pull out the turning pillow body 8 to adjust its position and to make it easy to remove and carry a set of turning pillow bodies 8.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] Based on the above embodiment one, in order to improve the support effect and facilitate cleaning, the following settings are now adopted.

[0043] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the above embodiment, the main body 8 of the turning pillow consists of a surface layer, a zipper sewn to the surface layer, and a filling layer inside the surface layer. The filling layer is detachably connected to the surface layer via the zipper. When the filling layer of the turning pillow main body 8 ages or becomes soiled due to long-term use and requires maintenance, relevant personnel can unzip the zipper sewn to the surface layer of the turning pillow main body 8 and remove and replace the internal high-density sponge filling layer. The operation is simple and can quickly restore the support performance of the turning pillow main body 8, reducing the impact of filling layer problems on use. The surface layer of the turning pillow main body 8 is made of waterproof canvas material, and the filling layer of the turning pillow main body 8 is made of high-density sponge material. The high-density sponge can continuously provide stable body position support for the patient, and the waterproof canvas reduces the absorption of urine and body fluids by the high-density sponge.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] Based on the above embodiment one, the following settings are now adopted to increase the stability of the structural connection.

[0046] See Figures 1-5 In the above embodiment, the bottom layer 1, the first handle 4 and the strap 5 are all fixedly connected to the top layer 3 by sewing. The first Velcro 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom layer 1 by sewing. The second Velcro 7, the second handle 9 and the connecting strap 10 are all fixedly connected to the main body 8 of the turning pillow by sewing. This fixing method can reduce the risk of each component falling off during long-term use and repeated operation, ensure the stability of the overall structure and extend the product's service life.

[0047] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, according to actual nursing needs, the usage of the turning assistance pad and the turning pillow body 8, which are composed of a bottom layer 1, a buffer layer 2, and a top layer 3, are determined by attaching or separating the first Velcro 6 and the second Velcro 7. If only waterproofing and urine protection or basic turning assistance are needed, the two can be separated and used separately as the turning assistance pad. If postural support is needed after turning over, the two are connected to the turning pillow body and the turning assistance pad through the first Velcro 6 and the second Velcro 7.

[0048] Subsequently, the staff laid the turning pad flat under the patient's waist and hips. The waterproof canvas of the bottom layer 1 can prevent urine or body fluid leakage and avoid contaminating the bedding. There is no need to use an additional traditional plastic sheet, reducing the complexity of nursing operations. The non-woven fabric of the top layer 3 keeps it skin-friendly and breathable, improving the patient's comfort during long-term contact. The buffer layer 2 has a multi-unit structure with a rectangular array, which can reduce the large-scale flow of hydrocolloid gel during turning and always maintain a uniform support thickness in each area, providing a stable support base for subsequent turning operations and avoiding patient discomfort due to uneven support.

[0049] When performing a turning maneuver, the nurse can hold two of the first handles 4 to apply force. The first handles 4 provide a clear fulcrum for applying force, eliminating the need to directly press on the patient's body or the main body of the turning pillow 8. This significantly reduces the physical exertion of small, less strong nurses, reduces the difficulty of the operation, and avoids increasing patient discomfort due to improper application of force, making it easy to turn the patient to one side. After the patient is turned to the side, the nurse can tie one of the straps 5 to the bed rail to control the angle of the patient's position after turning.

[0050] When turning over, one set of turning pillows 8 naturally conforms to the bed surface and the patient's waist and buttocks under the action of gravity. The high-density sponge inside can continuously provide stable positional support for the patient. If there is a wound on the patient's waist and buttocks that requires dressing change, the nurse will first untie the strap 5 to avoid the strap 5 pulling on the turning pad and affecting the operation. Then the nurse can flip any section of the turning pillow 8 individually. During the turning process, the connecting strap 10 connected to the two sets of turning pillows 8 can maintain the connection between the flipped turning pillow 8 and the overall structure, reducing the possibility of the turning pillow 8 being lost or falling to the ground. At the same time, the unflipped turning pillow 8 can still support the patient, exposing the wound for easy dressing change and reducing the probability of the wound being compressed.

[0051] When the filling layer of the main body 8 of the turning pillow becomes aged or contaminated due to long-term use and requires maintenance, relevant personnel can unzip the zipper sewn to the surface of the main body 8 of the turning pillow to remove and replace the internal high-density sponge filling layer. The operation is simple and can quickly restore the support performance of the main body 8 of the turning pillow, reducing the impact of filling layer problems on use. In addition, the bottom layer 1, the first handle 4 and the strap 5 are all fixed to the surface layer 3 by sewing. The second Velcro 7, the second handle 9 and the connecting strap 10 are also fixed to the main body 8 of the turning pillow by sewing. This fixing method can reduce the risk of each component falling off during long-term use and repeated operation, ensure the stability of the overall structure and extend the product's service life.
