Description

The present invention provides a specific position within the mattress to provide assistance to the lying person for massaging or repositioning movements of the body by means of air filling and releasing and expanding / contracting each air sac body. The present invention relates to a mattress provided with various appropriately shaped air sac bodies.

There are many types of conventional air mattresses, and the structure shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 is mainly composed of a top cover 12, a base mat 13, a plurality of air-filled column bodies 14, an inlet pipe 16, an inlet branch pipe 17, and the like. A symmetrical belt 15 is sewn inside the base mat 13, and the air-filled column bodies 14 are sequentially passed through the positioning holes of the belt 15 to position the belt 15 of the base mat 13. A plurality of air-filled column bodies 14 that pass through the positioning holes are connected to each other by a three-way joint of a conduit 18 and a single inlet branch pipe 17, and at the same time, each of the inlet branch pipes 17 has at least the body air. Lay it in three parts, such as the cushion part, the central air cushion part, and the calf air cushion part. Connected by hand and intake pipes, said input pipe is connected to the inlet air fitting of the air pump 30. Further, the air intake branch pipes located on both sides of the central air cushion part are respectively provided with a flow-saving valve 31, and the air intake branch pipes located outside the head air cushion part and the calf air cushion part are respectively An exhaust flow saving valve 32 is provided.

For this purpose, a flow-saving valve 31 is connected to the inlet pipe at the center of the inlet branch pipe and the inlet branch pipe is used to control the amount of inlet air, and at the end of the inlet branch pipe, the air discharged from the air-filled column body is provided. An exhaust flow-saving valve 32 for controlling the speed is provided, and the distribution of the hardness and body gravity of the air-filled column 14 in each part is adjusted, so that the contact pressure between the skin and the air mattress 11 is reduced.

The air mattress 11 described above has an effect of relaxing the human body, but the following problems can be seen. (1) The top cover 12 laid on the upper layer of the air mattress 11 makes the top surface of the air mattress 11 a flat lying surface, and each air-filled column 14 undulates the head, center and thighs by expansion at different heights. However, it can only be achieved by lying in conformity with human body engineering, and it cannot bring about the effect of a more advanced massage movement by the human body. (2) Although the air mattress 11 provides a breathable device, a bedridden person who cannot act cannot change the position of a bedridden person who cannot avoid the occurrence of pressure ulcers unless he / she constantly changes his position. Without proper equipment or the assistance of others, the caregiver is a very hard and difficult task. (3) The structure of the air mattress 11 is complicated, has a large volume, is disadvantageous for transportation and storage, and at the same time has a high manufacturing cost, which imposes an economic burden on consumers.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, one or several air sac bodies are provided at each of the neck, back, waist, buttocks and thighs of the mattress, and at the same time, each air sac body is connected to a tube, and the tube is filled with air. Connect to the discharging controller.

The controller that fills and discharges air as described above can not only perform air filling or air release operation on the air sac body of each part individually or simultaneously, but also can sequentially fill and release the air sac body of each part. A mattress characterized by

  Therefore, when the air sac body of each part in the mattress of the present invention independently performs the undulation action of expansion and contraction, in each part of the lying person's neck, shoulders, back, waist, buttocks or legs, Do a local individual massage.

  In addition, the air sac body of each part can perform the undulation of the expansion and contraction sequentially in order, and can further bring about the action of whole body exercise massage.

Also, when the air sac body on one side of the body is inflated, one side of the lying person's body is lifted, the lying person becomes sideways, convenient for caregivers, without spending too much power, The patient can be repositioned, wiped and massaged.

Furthermore, when each part of the body of a lying person is lifted by the air sac body, an appropriate gap is naturally formed between the body and the mattress, and a heat radiating effect is obtained.

Next, since the structure is relatively simple and the manufacturing is relatively easy, the cost can be further reduced.

The mattress 10 shown in FIG. 1 is inflated and contracted by filling one or more air and releasing air to specific positions such as the neck, back, waist, buttocks and calf when the human body lies down. Air sac bodies 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are provided, and each air sac body 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 has a pipe 16 and a controller having a pump, a control valve, and a control device. 17 is connected. Therefore, the controller 17 controls each air sac body 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 to be inflated or contracted simultaneously or sequentially, individually or in combination, and at the same time, the air sac bodies 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 The number, frequency, and time of inflation / deflation can all be controlled by a predetermined motion mode, or can be set by yourself.

The mattress 10 shown in FIG. 2 is provided with a layer of a three-dimensional three-dimensional knitted fabric pad 191 having high elasticity and air permeability above the mattress cushions 181 and 182 mainly covered with cloth, and at the same time on the pad 191. A second layer of pads 192 with a thin layer of high pore density is added, and the user lying on the pad 192 can receive a relatively non-uniform support as well as excellent pressure distribution. There is action and good elasticity, making the lying person feel softness and comfort twice, and at the same time, it has excellent breathability and heat dissipation effect, does not absorb moisture and makes the lying person refreshing and refreshing The mattress 10 is not easily soiled and can be cleaned cleanly by making it feel, especially by laying the pads 191 and 192.

Moreover, the change of the exercise mode which the action with respect to the human body of each above-mentioned air sac body 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 produces is as follows. (1) As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the air sac body 11 at the neck is inflated, the neck is lifted upward and the head is bent upward, and at the same time, the back and shoulders are pulled upward. Floating in the air, the neck muscles and muscle bones are gently massaged by such repeated contraction and expansion. (2) As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the two air sac bodies 12 on the left and right sides of the back are contracted / expanded simultaneously or in sequence, the shoulder joint, sub- deltoid joint, scapulothoracic joint, shoulder chain joint, chest Many muscles in the vicinity of the chain joints and shoulders can be coordinated and massaged to gently stretch and retract, reducing and eliminating stiff shoulders. (3) As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the air bladder 13 in the waist is repeatedly expanded and contracted, the abdomen is lifted and repeatedly gently extended to the spine of the back and its joints, ligaments and muscles on both sides of the spine, etc. It can also cause curvature and relax the strained musculoskeletal and remove fatigue. (4) As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the air sac body 14 in the buttocks is repeatedly contracted and expanded, the tail vertebra and surrounding muscles can be stretched and massaged. (5) As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the air bladder 15 in the calf is repeatedly contracted and expanded, the end of the leg can be repeatedly lifted and lowered, resulting in a rhythmic wave in the thigh, It can promote fluid circulation and eliminate fatigue. (6) As shown in FIG. 12, if one side of the air sac body 12 on the back is filled with air and inflated, and the other side of the air sac body 12 is not inflated without being filled with air, the human body is only on one side. The body of a lying person who is lifted and cannot act can be repositioned more easily.

That is, the air sac bodies 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 provided in the mattress 10 having different shapes and functions are contracted or expanded independently or sequentially in combination with each other, and thereby each of the human bodies. Exercise and massage with movements that lift, lower, or twist the muscles and bones of the area from the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, hips, buttocks, or thighs to relax and eliminate stiffness at each location, intervertebral bones, thighs In addition, there is an effect that the pressure between muscles in each part is expanded and blood circulation is promoted. At the same time, when the human body is lying on the mattress 10, the effect of ventilation and position change is brought about, and care personnel wipe the patient's body. Has the effect of facilitating.
