DESCRIPCIONDESCRIPTION
Colchon inflable con giroscopo integradoInflatable mattress with integrated gyro
La presente invencion entra en el campo medico y paramedico, mas particularmente en la ayuda al encamado de pacientes.The present invention enters the medical and paramedical field, more particularly in helping patients bed.
La invencion se refiere a un dispositivo de encamado de tipo colchon inflable, que integra un giroscopo.The invention relates to an inflatable mattress bedding device, which integrates a gyro.
De manera conocida, el encamado prolongado de un paciente implica la formacion de escaras, a saber lesiones cutaneas vinculadas a la compresion de los tejidos blandos con el colchon. Para prevenir la formacion de escaras, las camas estan equipadas con colchones de aire inflables, provistos con un compresor. La presion del aire en el interior del colchon se calcula en funcion de la morfologfa del paciente.In a known manner, prolonged bedding of a patient involves the formation of bedsores, namely cutaneous lesions linked to the compression of soft tissues with the mattress. To prevent the formation of bedsores, the beds are equipped with inflatable air mattresses, provided with a compressor. The air pressure inside the mattress is calculated based on the morphology of the patient.
Un inconveniente reside en el cambio de decubito de un paciente, durante su paso de una posicion extendida a sentada, o inversamente.A drawback lies in the change of a patient's decubitus position, during their transition from an extended position to sitting, or vice versa.
Se observara que el cambio de posicion se efectua generalmente por elevacion de la parte superior de la cama, en la que reposa el torso del paciente, comunmente denominada “eleva-torso”. Para hacer esto, las camas presentan una articulacion y una motorizacion adaptada para elevar y descender esta parte eleva-torso.It will be noted that the change in position is generally effected by elevation of the upper part of the bed, in which the patient's torso rests, commonly referred to as the "torso-lift." To do this, the beds have an articulation and motorization adapted to raise and lower this lifting part.
Durante este cambio de altura, el reparto de la masa aplicada sobre el colchon por el cuerpo del paciente cambia considerablemente. En particular, el peso aplicado a la altura del gluteo se incrementa cuando el paciente pasa a posicion elevada, para alcanzar un maximo en posicion sentada, e inversamente. Sin modificacion de la presion, este incremento del reparto del peso puede provocar un pinzamiento o “tensado” de las paredes superiores e inferiores del colchon, creando tambien un punto de contacto del gluteo con el somier de la cama. Ademas, al estar subdividido el colchon interiormente en celulas, este apoyo mayor sobre una zona limitada repele el aire hacia las otras celulas y modifica la presion interna. Ademas del deterioro potencial del colchon, no se asegura en ese momento la prevencion de las escaras.During this change in height, the distribution of the mass applied to the mattress by the patient's body changes considerably. In particular, the weight applied to the height of the gluteus increases when the patient goes to an elevated position, to reach a maximum in a sitting position, and vice versa. Without changing the pressure, this increase in weight distribution can cause a clamping or “tensioning” of the upper and lower walls of the mattress, also creating a point of contact of the gluteus with the bed base. In addition, since the mattress is subdivided internally into cells, this greater support over a limited area repels the air towards the other cells and modifies the internal pressure. In addition to the potential deterioration of the mattress, the prevention of bedsores is not ensured at that time.
Actualmente, los compresores estan equipados con medios de control que permiten incrementar o disminuir manualmente la presion interna del colchon. Un operador debe modificar entonces la presion con cada cambio de posicion. En particular, se incrementa la presion del colchon o de las celulas de la zona que soporta el gluteo, durante la colocacion en posicion sentada, e inversamente.Currently, the compressors are equipped with control means that allow to increase or decrease manually the internal pressure of the mattress. An operator must then modify the pressure with each change of position. In particular, the pressure of the mattress or the cells in the area that supports the gluteus is increased, during the sitting position, and vice versa.
Esta operacion manual presenta el inconveniente de obligar al operador, frecuentemente el personal hospitalario, a intervenir sobre el compresor, mientras que debe ocuparse al mismo tiempo del paciente. A veces, el operador no esta informado ni formado para la utilizacion del compresor, no modificando la presion.This manual operation has the disadvantage of forcing the operator, frequently the hospital staff, to intervene on the compressor, while having to take care of the patient at the same time. Sometimes, the operator is not informed or trained for the use of the compressor, not changing the pressure.
Unos sistemas existentes que tienden a paliar este inconveniente modificando la presion automaticamente por el paso de desniveles. Dichos sistemas estan relacionados con el colchon y pueden unirse a la motorizacion del eleva- torso y, durante el paso de ciertos umbrales de inclinacion del eleva-torso, incrementa la presion o la disminuye. En particular, un umbral de activacion del incremento de la presion se situa a 30°.Existing systems that tend to alleviate this inconvenience by modifying the pressure automatically by the passage of unevenness. Such systems are related to the mattress and can be attached to the motorization of the elevator and, during the passage of certain inclination thresholds of the elevator, the pressure increases or decreases. In particular, an activation threshold for the increase in pressure is 30 °.
Un ejemplo de este funcionamiento se describe a traves del documento US 2007/289067, que se refiere a un dispositivo de encamado constituido por un colchon neumatico dividido interiormente en celulas alimentadas por aire a presion por un compresor. Dicho colchon reposa sobre la estructura articulada de una cama, asegurando a traves de medios de motorizacion adaptados, el paso desde una posicion horizontal acostada a unas posiciones inclinadas del respaldo en posicion sentada y/o del pie de la cama para elevar las piernas. Un dispositivo de ese tipo incluye tambien unos medios de regulacion de la presion de aprovisionamiento de aire de cada celula. En particular, esta modificacion de la presion interviene en funcion de la deteccion de la modificacion de la inclinacion de los diferentes elementos que constituyen la estructura articulada de la cama. Para hacer esto, un dispositivo de ese tipo comprende unos captadores mecanicos montados sobre las diferentes partes articuladas de dicha estructura para detectar los cambios de su geometna.An example of this operation is described in US 2007/289067, which refers to a bedding device consisting of a pneumatic mattress internally divided into cells fed by pressurized air by a compressor. Said mattress rests on the articulated structure of a bed, ensuring through adapted motorization means, the passage from a horizontal position lying down to inclined positions of the backrest in a sitting position and / or the foot of the bed to raise the legs. Such a device also includes means for regulating the air supply pressure of each cell. In particular, this modification of the pressure intervenes in function of the detection of the modification of the inclination of the different elements that constitute the articulated structure of the bed. To do this, such a device comprises mechanical sensors mounted on the different articulated parts of said structure to detect changes in its geometry.
Aunque el operador no tiene que preocuparse de modificar manualmente la presion, dichos sistemas modifican la presion del colchon por paso de inclinaciones, aplicando una reduccion del confort para el paciente y no impidiendo, durante el cambio de presion, el riesgo de tensado del colchon durante el tiempo que la presion se estabiliza a dicha situacion, en particular durante un incremento de la presion. En efecto, el compresor no puede incrementar o disminuir instantaneamente la presion. Por otro lado, el colchon debe estar entonces ligado a la motorizacion de la cama, implicando unos requisitos tecnicos de compatibilidad costosos de superar y que limitan forzosamente esta compatibilidad dado el gran numero de colchones y de camas existentes.Although the operator does not have to worry about manually modifying the pressure, these systems modify the mattress pressure by tilting, applying a reduction of comfort for the patient and not preventing, during the change of pressure, the risk of tensioning the mattress during the time that the pressure stabilizes at that situation, particularly during an increase in pressure. In effect, the compressor cannot instantly increase or decrease the pressure. On the other hand, the mattress must then be linked to the motorization of the bed, implying some technical compatibility requirements that are expensive to overcome and that necessarily limit this compatibility given the large number of existing mattresses and beds.
El documento EP 2 662 063 divulga un colchon neumatico que tiene unos cojines de aire y un detector del estado del colchon, estando dispuesto el detector fuera de los cojines de aire y comprendiendo una camara de aire que comunica con los cojines de aire de manera que se infla simultaneamente, comprendiendo el detector un elementoEP 2 662 063 discloses a pneumatic mattress having air cushions and a mattress condition detector, the detector being arranged outside the air cushions and comprising an air chamber that communicates with the air cushions so that it inflates simultaneously, the detector comprising an element

externo de deteccion que incluye un captador de deformacion y un captador de aceleracion con el fin de detectar la reaccion del colchon a la posicion de un paciente, y un elemento interno de deteccion que comprende dos laminas electricamente conductoras fijadas sobre las caras internas superior e inferior de la camara de aire permitiendo detectar el estado de inflado de los cojines de aire.external detection that includes a deformation sensor and an acceleration sensor in order to detect the reaction of the mattress to the position of a patient, and an internal detection element comprising two electrically conductive sheets fixed on the upper and lower internal faces of the air chamber allowing to detect the state of inflation of the air cushions.
La solicitud de patente EP 2 540 275 divulga una cama adaptada para recibir a una persona, comprendiendo la cama, por un lado, varios soportes que estan articulados entre sf mediante unos ejes: de rotacion horizontal de manera que la cama pueda tomar diferentes perfiles longitudinales particularmente a la altura de las rodillas de la persona y, por otro lado, un par de captadores de orientacion angulares, fijandose uno de los captadores al soporte destinado a recibir las piernas de la persona, fijandose el otro al soporte destinado a recibir los muslos. La medida de las posiciones angulares de los dos captadores permite conocer el angulo entre los dos soportes a los que se fijan los captadores y programar una variacion dclica del perfil longitudinal de la cama.The patent application EP 2 540 275 discloses a bed adapted to receive a person, the bed comprising, on the one hand, several supports that are articulated with each other by means of axes: of horizontal rotation so that the bed can take different longitudinal profiles particularly at the height of the person's knees and, on the other hand, a pair of angular orientation sensors, fixing one of the sensors to the support intended to receive the legs of the person, fixing the other to the support intended to receive the thighs . The measurement of the angular positions of the two sensors allows to know the angle between the two supports to which the sensors are fixed and to program a dical variation of the longitudinal profile of the bed.
Ademas, el estado de la tecnica se dirige a determinar los cambios de posicion del colchon a traves de los de la cama, haciendo depender el colchon y su compresor de la estructura de la cama.In addition, the state of the art is aimed at determining changes in the position of the mattress through those of the bed, making the mattress and its compressor depend on the structure of the bed.
Ademas, para ciertas morfologfas de paciente, un cambio de inclinacion del eleva-torso de solamente 15° exige un cambio de la presion interna del colchon, lo que no se realiza actualmente.In addition, for certain patient morphologies, a change in elevation of the torso of only 15 ° requires a change in the internal pressure of the mattress, which is not currently done.
La invencion tiene por objeto paliar los inconvenientes del estado de la tecnica, proponiendo controlar las variaciones de inclinacion del eleva-torso, incluso mmimas, para adaptar continuamente la presion interna del colchon.The object of the invention is to alleviate the drawbacks of the state of the art, by proposing to control the variations in the inclination of the lift-torso, even minimum, to continuously adapt the internal pressure of the mattress.
En particular, la invencion se dirige a disociar el colchon para hacerle totalmente independiente de la estructura de la cama. La presente invencion reside en el hecho de haber combinado, directamente en dicho colchon, en el interior y a la altura de su parte superior, y no en la armadura de la cama, unos medios electronicos para detectar directa y precisamente el menor cambio del angulo de inclinacion de dicha parte superior del colchon.In particular, the invention is directed to dissociate the mattress to make it totally independent of the structure of the bed. The present invention resides in the fact of having combined, directly in said mattress, inside and at the height of its upper part, and not in the bed frame, electronic means to directly and precisely detect the smallest change in the angle of inclination of said upper part of the mattress.
En efecto, la invencion se concentra unicamente sobre la parte del colchon que constituye el respaldo, con el fin de modificar la presion interna de las celulas del colchon situadas a la altura del asiento, incluso de disminuir la presion de las de dicho respaldo. Esta eleccion espedfica y precisa proviene del hecho de que el paso de un decubito extendido a sentado, o inversamente, implica una modificacion importante del apoyo del cuerpo (mientras que la elevacion de las piernas no induce una fluctuacion tan fuerte).In fact, the invention is concentrated only on the part of the mattress that constitutes the backrest, in order to modify the internal pressure of the mattress cells located at the height of the seat, even to decrease the pressure of those of said backrest. This specific and precise choice comes from the fact that the passage from an extended to sitting position, or vice versa, implies an important modification of the support of the body (while the elevation of the legs does not induce such a strong fluctuation).
Para hacer esto, el colchon integra un giroscopo unicamente a la altura del eleva-torso, de manera que se detecte cualquier cambio de inclinacion y modifique automaticamente y de manera continua la presion del colchon.To do this, the mattress integrates a gyro only at the height of the lift-torso, so that any inclination change is detected and the mattress pressure is modified automatically and continuously.
Para hacer esto la invencion se refiere a un dispositivo de encamado de tipo colchon inflable que comprende una envolvente hermetica y un compresor provisto de un canal de aprovisionamiento de aire a presion conectado a dicha envolvente, caracterizado por el hecho de que comprende unos medios giroscopicos integrados en el interior de dicho colchon a la altura de su parte superior, estando unidos dichos medios giroscopicos a unos medios electronicos de regulacion de la presion que equipan dicho compresor.To do this, the invention relates to an inflatable mattress bedding device comprising a hermetic envelope and a compressor provided with a pressurized air supply channel connected to said envelope, characterized in that it comprises integrated gyroscopic means. inside said mattress at the height of its upper part, said gyroscopic means being connected to electronic pressure regulating means that equip said compressor.
Segun otras caractensticas, en ningun caso limitativas, dichos medios giroscopicos se presentan en forma de un captador de la posicion angular de dicha parte superior de dicho colchon.According to other characteristics, in no case limiting, said gyroscopic means are presented in the form of a sensor of the angular position of said upper part of said mattress.
Ventajosamente, dicho captador mide unicamente la posicion angular de la parte superior de dicho colchon y dichos medios de regulacion comprenden una unidad de transcripcion continua de dichas posiciones medidas en datos de presurizacion y unos medios de comunicacion a dicho compresor de la presion de inflado de dicho colchon en funcion de dichos datos.Advantageously, said sensor only measures the angular position of the upper part of said mattress and said regulation means comprise a continuous transcription unit of said positions measured in pressurization data and communication means to said compressor of the inflation pressure of said mattress based on such data.
Preferiblemente, dicho colchon comprende a la altura de su parte superior al menos una celula interna inflable estatica.Preferably, said mattress comprises at the height of its upper part at least one static inflatable internal cell.
Segun un modo de realizacion, dicho dispositivo comprende al menos una correa de material elastico cosida en al menos dos puntos a una pared interior lateral longitudinal de dicho colchon, estando separados dichos puntos de costura de manera que reciban para sujecion dichos medios giroscopicos.According to one embodiment, said device comprises at least one strap of elastic material sewn at least two points to a longitudinal side inner wall of said mattress, said sewing points being separated so that they receive for fastening said gyroscopic means.
Ademas, dichos puntos de costura pueden coincidir con las costuras existentes entre dicha pared lateral longitudinal y las paredes superior e inferior de dicho colchon.Furthermore, said sewing points can coincide with the seams between said longitudinal side wall and the upper and lower walls of said mattress.

La presente invencion se refiere a un dispositivo de encamado de tipo colchon inflable 1.The present invention relates to an inflatable mattress type bedding device 1.
Un colchon 1 de ese tipo comprende una envolvente hermetica 2 y un compresor (no representado) provisto de un canal de aprovisionamiento 3 de aire e presion unido a dicha envolvente 2.Such a mattress 1 comprises a hermetic envelope 2 and a compressor (not shown) provided with an air and pressure supply channel 3 attached to said envelope 2.
Segun el modo preferido de realizacion, dicho colchon 1 presenta una forma paralelepipedica rectangular provista de una pared superior 4, de una pared inferior 5, de dos paredes laterales 6 que se extienden longitudinalmente y de dos paredes laterales 7 de los extremos, estando unidas dichas paredes 4, 5, 6, 7 entre sf a la altura de sus bordes adyacente respectivos, en particular mediante unas costuras interiores.According to the preferred embodiment, said mattress 1 has a rectangular parallelepipedic shape provided with an upper wall 4, a lower wall 5, two longitudinally extending lateral walls 6 and two lateral walls 7 of the ends, said said joints being joined walls 4, 5, 6, 7 between each other at the height of their respective adjacent edges, in particular by means of interior seams.
Ademas, dicho colchon 1 comprende interiormente unos grupos distintos de celulas inflables, aprovisionadas de manera independiente por dicho compresor. En otros terminos, los grupos de celulas presentan unas presiones de inflado diferentes, en funcion de su posicion en dicho colchon 1. Ademas, dicho compresor comprende unos medios electronicos de regulacion de la presion que permiten modificar la presion interna de cada uno de dichos grupos. En particular, al menos un grupo de al menos una celula inflable se preve estatica, a saber que la presion interna aplicada por dicho compresor esta estabilizada, permaneciendo constante o aproximadamente constante, fuera de las fases de inflado inicial del colchon 1 y de desinflado total, asf como durante una etapa de regulacion inicial de la presion interna del colchon 1 en funcion de los parametros morfologicos del paciente.Furthermore, said mattress 1 internally comprises different groups of inflatable cells, independently supplied by said compressor. In other terms, the groups of cells have different inflation pressures, depending on their position in said mattress 1. In addition, said compressor comprises electronic means for regulating the pressure that allow the internal pressure of each of said groups to be modified. . In particular, at least one group of at least one inflatable cell is provided static, namely that the internal pressure applied by said compressor is stabilized, remaining constant or approximately constant, outside the initial inflation phases of mattress 1 and total deflation , as well as during a stage of initial regulation of the internal pressure of the mattress 1 depending on the morphological parameters of the patient.
Ventajosamente, esta celula estatica o este grupo de celulas estaticas se situa a la altura de la parte superior 8 de dicho colchon 1, a saber a la altura de la cabeza de la cama donde reposa el torso del paciente y que coincide con la parte mayor de su superficie, con la parte articulada en rotacion de la cama, denominada “eleva-torso”.Advantageously, this static cell or this group of static cells is located at the height of the upper part 8 of said mattress 1, namely at the height of the head of the bed where the patient's torso rests and coincides with the greater part of its surface, with the articulated rotating part of the bed, called the "torso-lift".
Para ello, como se ha indicado anteriormente, dicha cama comprende un eleva-torso articulado en rotacion, de manera que pasa de una posicion replegada a elevada, pasando por unas posiciones intermedias, e inversamente. Estas posiciones son respectivamente visibles en las figuras 3A, 3B y 3C. En posicion replegada, el eleva-puesto se encuentra en el plano del somier de dicha cama, estando extendido el paciente, mientras que en posicion elevada, el eleva-torso se encuentra saliente angularmente con relacion al resto del somier, en particular el asiento y el pie de la cama, estando entonces el paciente en posicion semi-acostado hasta sentado en funcion del angulo de elevacion de dicho eleva-torso. Se observara que el desplazamiento de dicho eleva-torso de una posicion a otra se acciona por intermedio de medios de motorizacion adaptados.To do this, as indicated above, said bed comprises an articulated lifting torso in rotation, so that it passes from a retracted to elevated position, passing through intermediate positions, and vice versa. These positions are respectively visible in Figures 3A, 3B and 3C. In the stowed position, the lift-stand is in the plane of the bed base of said bed, while the patient is extended, while in an elevated position, the lift-arm is angularly protruding in relation to the rest of the bed base, in particular the seat and the foot of the bed, the patient being then in a semi-lying position until sitting in function of the elevation angle of said lift-torso. It will be observed that the movement of said lift-torso from one position to another is activated by means of adapted motorization means.
Ventajosamente, dicho dispositivo de colchon 1 segun la invencion comprende unos medios giroscopicos 9 integrados en el interior de dicho colchon 1 a la altura de su parte superior 8. Ademas, dichos medios giroscopicos 9 estan unidos a unos medios electronicos de regulacion de la presion que equipan dicho compresor. Este enlace puede efectuarse de manera cableada, a traves de un cable 10 de comunicacion y alimentacion. Segun otro modo de realizacion, dichos medios giroscopicos 9 son autonomos, integrando una batena y unidos a dicho compresor mediante un enlace de comunicacion inalambrico.Advantageously, said mattress device 1 according to the invention comprises gyroscopic means 9 integrated inside said mattress 1 at the height of its upper part 8. Furthermore, said gyroscopic means 9 are connected to electronic pressure regulating means which Equip said compressor. This link can be made in a wired manner, through a communication and power cable 10. According to another embodiment, said gyroscopic means 9 are autonomous, integrating a baton and connected to said compressor by means of a wireless communication link.
Se observara que el cable 10 presenta una longitud suficiente con relacion a la longitud del colchon 1 y al canal de aprovisionamiento de aire 3, longitud en la que se extiende dicho cable 10 y se sujeta hasta su conexion con dicho compresor, principalmente en el seno de una funda de proteccion que envuelve dicho canal 3 y el cable 10.It will be noted that the cable 10 has a sufficient length in relation to the length of the mattress 1 and the air supply channel 3, length in which said cable 10 extends and is secured until its connection with said compressor, mainly in the breast of a protective sheath that surrounds said channel 3 and cable 10.
Segun una caractenstica particular, dichos medios giroscopicos 9 se presentan en la forma de un captador 11 de la posicion angular de dicha parte superior 8 de dicho colchon 1. En este modo preferido de realizacion, dicho captador 11 no hace mas que medir las variaciones de la posicion angular de la parte superior 8, sin tratarlas y comunicandolas directamente al compresor.According to a particular feature, said gyroscopic means 9 are presented in the form of a sensor 11 of the angular position of said upper part 8 of said mattress 1. In this preferred embodiment, said sensor 11 only measures the variations of the angular position of the upper part 8, without treating them and communicating them directly to the compressor.
Con este fin, dicho captador 11 no mide mas que unicamente la posicion angular de la parte superior 8 de dicho colchon 1, dichos medios de regulacion comprenden una unidad de transcripcion continua de dichas posiciones medidas. La transcripcion efectuada permite tratar las posiciones medidas y cambiarlas a datos de presurizacion. Dichos medios de regulacion comprenden entonces unos medios de comunicacion a dicho compresor de la presion de inflado de dicho colchon 1, en particular de los grupos de celulas, en funcion de dichos datos transcritos.To this end, said sensor 11 measures only the angular position of the upper part 8 of said mattress 1, said regulation means comprise a continuous transcription unit of said measured positions. The transcription made allows you to treat the measured positions and change them to pressurization data. Said regulating means then comprise means for communicating to said compressor the inflation pressure of said mattress 1, in particular of the cell groups, depending on said transcribed data.
A tftulo de ejemplo, un tratamiento de la transcripcion puede consistir en incrementar la presion de las celulas situadas a la altura del asiento del paciente, cuando se detecta un incremento angular de la parte superior 8, a saber que el eleva-torso pasa a una posicion elevada para sentar al paciente, e inversamente. Ademas, este incremento puede preverse proporcional con relacion a la variacion del angulo detectado. Ademas, el incremento de la presionAs an example, a transcription treatment may consist of increasing the pressure of the cells located at the height of the patient's seat, when an angular increase of the upper part 8 is detected, namely that the upper torso passes at a elevated position to sit the patient, and vice versa. In addition, this increase can be expected proportionally in relation to the variation of the detected angle. In addition, the increase in pressure

puede modificarse con relacion a las presiones de los grupos de celulas configuradas inicialmente en funcion de la morfologfa detectada.it can be modified in relation to the pressures of the groups of cells initially configured according to the morphology detected.
Por ejemplo, para un incremento del angulo de la parte superior 8 de un valor detectado de 10 grados, la presion interna de las celulas correspondientes puede incrementarse en 5 mbar (500 Pa), mientras que para un incremento de 35° la presion se incrementara en 15 mbar (1500 Pa).For example, for an increase in the angle of the upper part 8 of a detected value of 10 degrees, the internal pressure of the corresponding cells can be increased by 5 mbar (500 Pa), while for an increase of 35 ° the pressure will increase in 15 mbar (1500 Pa).
Segun una caractenstica adicional, dicho colchon 1 comprende al menos una correa 12 de material elastico cosida en al menos dos puntos, preferiblemente segun al menos dos lmeas de costura, a una pared interior lateral longitudinal 6 de dicho colchon 1. Ademas, dichos puntos de costura estan separados de manera que reciban para sujecion dichos medios giroscopicos 9. En resumen, la correa 12 esta cosida sobre el interior del colchon 1, reservando un espacio en el interior del que se desliza el captador 11, deformando elasticamente dicha correa 12. Dicho captador 11 se mantiene entonces, pero en caso de traccion desde su cable 10, entonces se sale de dicho espacio en lugar de ser arrancado de su cable 10.According to a further feature, said mattress 1 comprises at least one belt 12 of elastic material sewn at least two points, preferably according to at least two seam lines, to a longitudinal lateral inner wall 6 of said mattress 1. In addition, said points of seams are separated so that they receive for fastening said gyroscopic means 9. In summary, the belt 12 is sewn on the inside of the mattress 1, reserving a space inside which the sensor 11 slides, elastically deforming said belt 12. Said collector 11 is then maintained, but in case of traction from its cable 10, then it leaves said space instead of being torn from its cable 10.
Se observara que dicho captador 11 puede comprender una caja exterior conformada de manera que se disponga en la periferia exterior un desprendimiento que forma una garganta central que se extiende transversalmente, permitiendo mejorar el mantenimiento con relacion a dicha correa 12 y tambien servir de indicador para un posicionamiento optimo en el seno del colchon 1.It will be noted that said sensor 11 can comprise an outer case shaped so that a detachment is formed on the outer periphery that forms a central throat that extends transversely, allowing for improved maintenance in relation to said belt 12 and also serving as an indicator for a optimal positioning within the mattress 1.
Segun otra particularidad, dichos puntos de costura coinciden con las costuras existentes entre dicha pared lateral longitudinal 6 y las paredes superior 4 e inferior 5 de dicho colchon 1. Esta fijacion precisa en este nivel permite, por un lado, coser directamente dicha correa 12 en el momento de la fabricacion del colchon 1, y por otro lado, hacer sus costuras invisibles desde el exterior.According to another feature, said sewing points coincide with the seams between said longitudinal side wall 6 and the upper and lower walls 4 of said mattress 1. This precise fixing at this level allows, on the one hand, to directly sew said belt 12 in the time of manufacture of mattress 1, and on the other hand, make your seams invisible from the outside.
Segun otro modo de realizacion, dicho colchon 1 puede comprender una parte extrafble y dichos medios giroscopicos estan sujetos a dicha parte extrafble. En particular, dicha parte extrafble puede ser un almohadon inflable, destinado a posicionarse a la altura del eleva-torso, incluso una funda de recubrimiento de todo o parte de dicho colchon 1, en particular de esta parte extrafble.According to another embodiment, said mattress 1 may comprise a removable part and said gyroscopic means are subject to said removable part. In particular, said removable part may be an inflatable cushion, intended to be positioned at the height of the lift-torso, including a cover covering all or part of said mattress 1, in particular of this removable part.
De ese modo, el dispositivo de encamado de tipo colchon inflable 1 segun la invencion permite modificar continuamente la presion interna de las celulas o grupos de celulas inflables, en funcion de las variaciones de la inclinacion del eleva-torso de la cama. Ademas, el hecho de que el colchon 1 integre un giroscopo a la altura de las celulas estaticas de la parte superior 8, permite limitar los movimientos de esta parte, mientras que las presiones de las otras celulas pueden modificarse, principalmente en el marco de un tratamiento de prevencion de las escaras. El giroscopo no soporta por tanto estos movimientos, evitando una modificacion de la presion no deseada si no se realiza ninguna inclinacion real a la altura del eleva-torso.Thus, the inflatable mattress type bedding device 1 according to the invention allows the internal pressure of the inflatable cells or groups of cells to be continuously modified, depending on the variations in the inclination of the bed's torso. In addition, the fact that the mattress 1 integrates a gyro at the height of the static cells of the upper part 8, allows to limit the movements of this part, while the pressures of the other cells can be modified, mainly within the framework of a prevention treatment of bedsores. The gyro does not therefore support these movements, avoiding a modification of the unwanted pressure if no real inclination is made at the height of the lift.
Por otro lado, la integracion de un captador electronico en el colchon 1 permite introducir una memoria interna, almacenando unos datos y unas caractensticas propias de cada colchon, principalmente sus modos de funcionamiento y de presurizacion. Es posible entonces, conectandole directamente al compresor, que este ultimo reconozca y adapte automaticamente su gestion de la presion en funcion de los datos integrados en el seno de la memoria de dicho captador 11.On the other hand, the integration of an electronic sensor in the mattress 1 allows to introduce an internal memory, storing some data and characteristics of each mattress, mainly its operating and pressurization modes. It is then possible, by connecting directly to the compressor, that the latter automatically recognizes and adapts its pressure management based on the data integrated within the memory of said sensor 11.
