Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Medical turning pillows are nursing devices designed for people who are bedridden for long periods or have limited mobility (such as the elderly, postoperative patients, and critically ill patients). They can help to easily adjust body positions such as side-lying and semi-sitting. Through simple geometric structures (such as triangles and U-shapes), they stabilize body posture, reduce the burden on caregivers, and prevent local tissues from being subjected to long-term pressure, thereby reducing the risk of pressure sores. Their medical-grade materials and removable outer layer also make them easy to clean and disinfect, combining practicality and safety.

[0003] Commonly used turning pillows in clinical practice include those made of sponge or inflatable material, but both have the following drawbacks in their use: 1. Traditional turning pillows have a fixed shape and are mostly made of sponge. Because of their fixed shape, the support angle cannot be adjusted according to needs. 2. When used for back support, the amount of compression varies depending on the patient's weight, making it impossible to accurately position the patient in a side-lying position. 3. Existing turning pillows are usually bulky and require a lot of space to store when not in use; 4. Inconvenient to carry: When a turning pillow is needed, its large size and weight affect its portability. 5. Traditional inflatable turning pillows, like foam pillows, cannot adjust the support angle. Although they can be reduced in size by deflating and folding, and are much lighter than foam pillows, their stability is poor and they are prone to deformation due to their light weight and the fact that they are filled with air. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel folding inflatable turning pillow, aiming to solve the aforementioned technical problems existing in the prior art. To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A novel foldable inflatable turning pillow includes a multi-stage inflatable turning pillow and an inflation device. The multi-stage inflatable turning pillow has at least two independent airbags arranged from top to bottom. One side of the top of the multi-stage inflatable turning pillow is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom pad. A foldable stabilizing frame is provided on the outside of the multi-stage inflatable turning pillow. The foldable stabilizing frame includes at least three U-shaped frames with successively decreasing sizes. The two ends of each U-shaped frame are hinged to each other to form a foldable fan-shaped skeleton structure. The upper and lower edges of the independent airbags are respectively detachably fixed to the corresponding two U-shaped frames. One-way folding rods are provided between the opposite sides of two adjacent U-shaped frames; the folding stabilizing frame is fully unfolded by the expansion of the multi-stage inflatable turning pillow, and the included angle between two adjacent U-shaped frames is kept equal by each of the one-way folding rods; after the folding stabilizing frame is bent and folded upward by each of the one-way folding rods, the folding frame realizes the folding of each U-shaped frame, and the one-way folding rod is located in the gap after the two adjacent U-shaped frames overlap.

[0005] In one embodiment of this utility model, the unidirectional folding rod includes a short support rod and a long support rod. One end of the long support rod has a strip groove along its length direction. One end of the short support rod has a slider, which is movably connected inside the strip groove. The other ends of the long support rod and the short support rod are respectively hinged to two adjacent U-shaped frames. A stop block is provided on the top surface of the long support rod corresponding to the strip groove, and the bottom surface of the stop block is in close contact with the top surface of the short support rod.

[0006] In one embodiment of this utility model, the multi-level inflatable turning pillow includes three independent airbags stacked and fixed from bottom to top. Multiple Velcro fasteners are evenly arranged on the upper and lower edges of the independent airbags, and the upper and lower edges of the independent airbags are respectively tied to two corresponding U-shaped frames by the multiple Velcro fasteners.

[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the independent airbag at the top is provided with a back air cushion communicating with it, and the area of ​​the back air cushion completely covers the area of ​​the largest U-shaped frame.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, one side of the base pad is fixedly connected to one end of the top surface of the back air cushion, and the other end is sequentially fixedly connected to two blocking air cushions along its length. After the two blocking air cushions are inflated, they are folded into a triangular structure and are fixedly attached to the base pad by Velcro assembly.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sponge triangular pillow is attached to the top surface of the bottom pad via a Velcro assembly.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inflation device includes an electric air pump. The output end of the inflation device is connected to the input end of a multi-channel air valve through a main air pipe. The multi-channel air valve is provided with multiple independent output ends. The multiple independent output ends of the multi-channel air valve are respectively connected and fixed to the input ends of each independent airbag and each blocking air cushion through branch air pipes.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the electric air pump is replaced with a manual airbag.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Achieve flexible adjustment of support angle and precise posture positioning: The multi-level independent airbags work together with the foldable fan-shaped U-shaped frame. The one-way folding rod can limit the angle between adjacent U-shaped frames (can be set to 15°). By selecting the number of unfolded U-shaped frames, support at multiple angles of 15°, 30°, and 45° can be achieved, which can adapt to the side-lying and semi-sitting needs of different patients and solve the problems of traditional fixed shapes that cannot adjust the angle and have inaccurate posture positioning.

[0013] 2. Improved storage and portability: After the air is expelled, the U-shaped frame can be folded over by a one-way folding rod and combined with the bottom pad for storage, which greatly reduces the volume and avoids taking up too much space when not in use. At the same time, it reduces the overall weight and solves the problem of traditional turning pillows being inconvenient to carry.

[0014] 3. Enhanced structural stability: The U-shaped frame of the folding and stabilizing frame provides rigid support, and with the positioning function of the one-way folding rod, it avoids the problems of easy deformation and unstable support caused by traditional air pillows due to air filling and light weight, thus ensuring the structural reliability during the care process.

[0015] 4. Balancing comfort and safety: The independent top airbag connected to the back air cushion can cover the U-shaped frame to prevent the skeleton from hurting the patient; the bottom pad, together with the Velcro assembly connected to the sponge triangular pillow or foldable blocking air cushion, can prevent the patient from sliding and improve the safety of use; the inflation device supports the replacement of electric air pump and manual airbag, and the multi-channel air valve can independently adjust each airbag to adapt to different weights and nursing scenarios.

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the present utility model will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.

[0019] Example: like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel foldable inflatable turning pillow, including a multi-stage inflatable turning pillow 1 and an inflation device 6. The multi-stage inflatable turning pillow 1 is provided with at least two independent airbags 11 from top to bottom. The top side of the multi-stage inflatable turning pillow 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom pad 4. The multi-stage inflatable turning pillow 1 is provided with a foldable stabilizing frame 2 on its outside. The foldable stabilizing frame 2 includes at least three U-shaped frames 21 with successively decreasing sizes. The two ends of each U-shaped frame 21 are hinged to each other to form a foldable fan-shaped skeleton structure. The upper and lower edges of the independent airbags 11 are respectively detachably fixed to the corresponding two U-shaped frames 21. One-way folding rods 3 are provided between the opposite sides of two adjacent U-shaped frames 21; the folding stabilizing frame 2 is fully unfolded by the expansion of the multi-stage inflatable turning pillow 1, and the included angle between two adjacent U-shaped frames 21 is kept equal by each one-way folding rod 3; after the folding stabilizing frame 2 is bent and folded upward by each one-way folding rod 3, the folding 2 realizes the folding of each U-shaped frame 21, and the one-way folding rod 3 is located in the gap after the two adjacent U-shaped frames 21 overlap.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 2-6 As shown, the one-way folding rod 3 includes a short support rod 31 and a long support rod 33. One end of the long support rod 33 is provided with a strip groove 34 along its length direction. One end of the short support rod 31 is provided with a slider 32, which is movably connected inside the strip groove 34. The other ends of the long support rod 33 and the short support rod 31 are respectively hinged to two adjacent U-shaped frames 21. A stop block 35 is provided on the top surface of the long support rod 33 corresponding to the strip groove 34. The bottom surface of the stop block 35 is in close contact with the top surface of the short support rod 31. The multi-level inflatable turning pillow 1 includes three independent airbags 11 stacked and fixed from bottom to top (this embodiment is an example). Multiple Velcro fasteners 13 are evenly arranged on the upper and lower edges of the independent airbags 11. The upper and lower edges of the independent airbags 11 are respectively tied to the two corresponding U-shaped frames 21 by the multiple Velcro fasteners 13. When the multi-stage inflatable turning pillow 1 is inflated by the inflation device 6, the increased volume of each independent airbag 11 expands the two U-shaped frames 21 fixedly connected to them, unfolding around the hinge point. This causes the folded one-way folding rod 3 to deform. As the distance between the two U-shaped frames 21 increases, the position of the short support rod 31 overlapping with the long support rod 33 changes. At this time, the long support rod 33 drives the short support rod 31 to rotate around the hinge pad with the U-shaped frame 21, uncoiling from the long support rod 33. When the top of the short support rod 31 interferes with the bottom of the stop block 35 and can no longer rotate, the user's downward pressure causes the multi-stage inflatable turning pillow 1 to deform. This force transmission then presses down on each U-shaped frame 21, causing the long support rod 33 to descend until one end of the strip groove 34 is in close contact with the movable block, creating structural interference. This achieves the extended positioning state of the one-way folding rod 3. The length in the fixed state and the hinge position with the two U-shaped frames 21 can ensure that the included angle between each U-shaped frame 21 is fixed under external pressure. Generally, this included angle is controlled at 15°. Then, the fully unfolded fan-shaped structure of the four U-shaped frames 21 (each independent airbag 11 requires two after deducting the total number after sharing) can provide a firm and stable 45° inclined surface. The number of U-shaped frames 21 to be unfolded can be flexibly selected according to the required support angle, so as to achieve the selection of 15°, 30° and 45° support angle. At the same time, through the flexible combination of the three independent airbags 11 of the multi-level inflatable turning pillow 1, the turning pillow can maintain its softness and comfort, and can also be firmly supported by the external folding stabilizing frame 2, so as to prevent the collapse or horizontal twisting caused by the user's weight, thus making the inflatable turning pillow more practical. After use, the air in the multi-stage inflatable turning pillow 1 is emptied. The short support rod 31 is driven to rotate and reset through the connection between the long support rod 33 and the short support rod 31, and then overlaps with the long support rod 33 again. At the same time, the two U-shaped frames 21 hinged at both ends of the one-way folding rod 3 gradually move closer and finally overlap. The one-way folding rod 3 folds into the gap between the two. When all the U-shaped frames 21 overlap, the turning pillow is folded. Finally, it can be stored after being rolled up with the bottom pad 4. It takes up little space and is dustproof and moisture-proof.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the top surface of the independent airbag 11 at the top is provided with a back air cushion 12 communicating with it, and the area of ​​the back air cushion 12 completely covers the area of ​​the largest U-shaped frame 21.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, by setting the back air cushion 12 and placing it on the top surface of the folding stabilizer 2, the metal frame is prevented from causing damage to the patient's back, thereby increasing the comfort of this turning pillow during use.

[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, one side of the base pad 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the top surface of the back air cushion 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to two blocking air cushions 5 in sequence along its length. After the two blocking air cushions 5 are inflated, they are folded into a triangular structure and are fixedly attached to the base pad 4 by the Velcro assembly 8.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sponge triangular pillow 7 is further attached to the top surface of the bottom pad 4 via a Velcro assembly 8.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, to prevent the turning pillow from being squeezed out or dragged away from the patient's back, the base pad 4 is fixedly connected to the multi-level inflatable turning pillow 1 and pressed under the patient's body. On the other hand, to prevent the patient from sliding, a blocking structure needs to be set in front of him. Therefore, multiple Velcro components 8 are set side by side on the surface of the base pad 4. The sponge triangular pillow 7 and the base pad 4 are attached to the patient's body through the velvet and barbed sides of the components to provide all-round safety protection for the patient. Secondly, in the absence of the sponge triangular pillow 7, two blocking air cushions 5 are set at the end of the base pad 4. By folding and raising the two air cushions and attaching them to the base pad 4 with the Velcro assembly 8, an integrated triangular structure is formed to replace the sponge triangular pillow 7, blocking the front of the patient and further enhancing the function of this turning pillow.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inflation device 6 further includes an electric air pump 61. The output end of the inflation device 6 is connected to the input end of a multi-channel air valve 63 through a main air pipe 62. The multi-channel air valve 63 is provided with multiple independent output ends. The multiple independent output ends of the multi-channel air valve 63 are connected and fixed to the input ends of each independent airbag 11 and each blocking air cushion 5 through branch air pipes 64.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, the electric air pump 61 is further replaced with a manual airbag.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 7As shown, this inflatable pillow is equipped with a manual or automatic inflation device 6 (electric air pump 61 or manual airbag). The inflation device 6 is connected to the multi-channel air valve 63 through the main air pipe 62, and then connected to each independent airbag 11 and each blocking air cushion 5 through the branch air pipe 64 through the independent output port of the multi-channel air valve 63. Thus, by controlling the multi-channel air valve 63, the angle and other parameters of this turning pillow can be customized.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
