所謂褥瘡,是指在患者身體的壓迫部位、主要在骨隆起部所發生的局部性細胞壞死,多數起因於長時間對身體的局部壓迫所造成毛細血管的血流阻礙,即使不至於產生褥瘡的程度,但仍對骨隆起部分亦會感到有壓迫感與痛苦感。 The so-called hemorrhoids refers to the localized cell necrosis that occurs in the compression site of the patient's body, mainly in the bone bulge, and most of the blood flow obstruction caused by the local compression of the body for a long time, even if it does not cause acne. To the extent, but still feel a sense of oppression and pain in the bone bulge.

為了抑制或減輕這樣的症狀,如專利文獻1中公開的一種氣墊,該氣墊能夠根據從氣墊的利用者之體重和身高所求得的BMI(身體質量指數Body Mass Index)值設定氣墊之內壓。通常,當利用者為體型肥胖的情況時,若是不考慮身高而只以體重來設定氣墊的氣壓,將會因人體的重量部分集中地使某部位受到壓迫,而造成產生褥瘡的可能性,但是,專利文獻1的技術中,不單單是根據體重來設定氣墊的氣壓,也能夠設定因應利用者的體型之適當氣壓,而被認為能夠抑制或減輕褥瘡的生成。 In order to suppress or alleviate such a symptom, such as an air cushion disclosed in Patent Document 1, the air cushion can set the internal pressure of the air cushion based on the BMI (Body Mass Index) value obtained from the weight and height of the user of the air cushion. . Usually, when the user is in the form of obesity, if the air pressure of the air cushion is set only by the weight regardless of the height, the weight of the human body is partially concentrated, and the possibility of acne is caused. In the technique of Patent Document 1, it is not only possible to set the air pressure of the air cushion based on the body weight, but it is also possible to set the appropriate air pressure in accordance with the body shape of the user, and it is considered that the generation of acne can be suppressed or reduced.

以下,說明本發明的氣墊控制裝置10之動作順序。首先,看護人員和護理人員等使用者,掌握氣墊利用者的現在身體狀態,輸入輸入操作面板20的輸入區域21之各種輸入開關22。如第6圖所示實施例,將「翻身(可動性)」設定在「不能」將「體型(骨隆起)」設定在「瘦」,將「攣縮」設定在「有」,將「水腫」設定在「有」,將「疼痛」設定在「有」,將「褥瘡」設定在「有」,將「發汗」設定在「多量」。 Hereinafter, the operation sequence of the air cushion control device 10 of the present invention will be described. First, the user such as the caregiver and the caregiver grasps the current physical state of the air cushion user, and inputs various input switches 22 input to the input area 21 of the operation panel 20. In the example shown in Figure 6, set "turn over (movability)" to "can't" set "body type (bone bulge)" to "skinny", set "collapse" to "yes", and "edema" Set "Yes", "Pain" to "Yes", "Acne" to "Yes", and "Sweating" to "Multiple".

於此,根據上述所輸入的身體資訊,在控制部11中計算出褥瘡發生危險度。具體來說,對各種身體資訊的設定值決定重要性,譬如,能夠翻身時危險度為0點而無法翻身時危險度為3點等,事先特定出哪一種身體狀態容易產生褥瘡,在褥瘡發生危險度高的身體狀態給予高點數。並且,根據「翻身(可動性)」、「體型(骨隆起)」、「攣縮」、「水腫」等四項目所計算出的褥瘡發生危險度之合計點,判斷「沒有風險」、「輕度」、「中度」、「高度」等不同程度之褥瘡發生危險度。 Here, the risk of acne occurrence is calculated in the control unit 11 based on the body information input as described above. Specifically, the setting value of various body information determines the importance, for example, the risk degree is 0 points when the body can be turned over and the risk degree is 3 points when the body cannot be turned over, etc., which body state is easily generated in advance to cause hemorrhoids, which occurs in hemorrhoids. A high-risk physical state gives a high number of points. In addition, based on the total points of risk of acne calculated by the four items of "turning (movability)", "body type (bone bulging)", "collapse", and "edema", it is judged that "no risk" or "mild" , "moderate", "height" and other degrees of acne risk.

其中,有關「褥瘡」、「疼痛」此兩項則不加以計算點數,而根據「有」或「無」來判斷。 Among them, the "acne" and "pain" are not counted, but judged by "Yes" or "None".

並且,經由基於「褥瘡發生危險度的判斷結果」、「有無褥瘡」、「有無疼痛」等三項身體資訊與預先被定義被儲存在控制部11的記憶體之矩陣表加以對照,自動決定切換區域24。 In addition, the three body information based on the "judgment result of the risk of acne occurrence", "the presence or absence of hemorrhoids", and the presence or absence of pain are automatically compared with the matrix table of the memory stored in the control unit 11 in advance, and the switching is automatically determined. Area 24.

具體來說,如第6圖所示的實施例中,自動地將「硬度」設定為「軟」、「動作」設定為「靜止」。 Specifically, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, "hardness" is automatically set to "soft" and "action" is set to "stationary".

並且,「輔助」是與身體資訊無關由使用者所設定的項目,雖然第6圖中選擇了「無」,但是,使用者能夠加以任意變更。並且,由於「發汗」選擇了「多量」,所以「除濕」被控制選擇「全開」;「翻身(可動性)」選擇了「不能」,因此「厚度」被控制選擇為「厚」。並且,切換區域24的設定係根據身體資訊被自動決定,但是也可以按押切換開關25,使得使用者可以任意變更。 Further, "auxiliary" is an item set by the user regardless of the body information, and although "None" is selected in Fig. 6, the user can arbitrarily change it. In addition, since "Sweating" has selected "Multiple", "Dehumidification" is controlled to select "Full Open"; "Flip (Removable)" selects "Cannot", so "Thickness" is controlled to be "Thick". Further, the setting of the switching area 24 is automatically determined based on the body information, but the switch 25 may be pressed so that the user can change it arbitrarily.

並且,在如第7圖所示的另一實施例中,將「翻身(可動性)」設定在「能」、將「體型(骨隆起)」設定在「粗」、「攣縮」設定在「無」、「水腫」設定在「無」、「疼痛」設定在「無」、「褥瘡」設定在「無」、「發汗」設定在「少量」,因此「硬度」將被自動設定在「標準」而「動作」被自動設定在「壓力切換」。 Further, in another embodiment as shown in Fig. 7, "turning (movability)" is set to "energy", "body type (bone bulge)" is set to "thickness", and "collapse" is set to "" No, "edema" is set to "none", "pain" is set to "none", "acne" is set to "none", and "sweating" is set to "small", so "hardness" will be automatically set to "standard" "Action" is automatically set to "pressure switching".

並且,「輔助」是與身體資訊無關由使用者所設定的項目,雖然第7圖中選擇了「無」,但是,使用者能夠任意變更。並且,由於「發汗」選擇「少量」所以「除濕」被控制選擇「半開」、「翻身(可動性)」選擇「能」,因此「厚度」被控制選擇為「薄」。 Further, "auxiliary" is an item set by the user regardless of the body information, and although "None" is selected in Fig. 7, the user can change it arbitrarily. In addition, since "sweating" is selected as "small", "dehumidification" is controlled to select "half-open" and "turn-over (movable)" to select "enable". Therefore, "thickness" is controlled to be "thin".

如上所述,若是根據本發明實施例之氣墊控制裝置10,能夠根據顯示利用者的身體狀態之身體資訊來分別設定向各氣室51~54所供給的氣壓,因此能夠基於利用者的身體狀況詳細決定氣墊本體50的氣壓,以能夠提供對各種不同身體狀態之利用者躺臥舒適的氣墊本體50。換言之,若是考慮利用者身體各處疼痛、產生褥瘡的情況時,其身體狀況從輕度到重度為各種各樣狀態,即使對於輕度身體狀況的利用者來說,墊子硬度為舒適的硬度,但對於重度身體狀況的利用者來說有可能是使得褥瘡惡化的墊子硬度。若是根據本發明,例如,若是使用者利用輸入操作面板20將利用者的各種身體資訊輸入(有無攣縮、有無水腫、有無褥瘡等),即能夠根據該身體資訊來判斷褥瘡發生危險度的高低,在被判定為褥瘡發生危險度高的情況時,使得墊子硬度變更為「軟」等、配合身體狀況設定供給氣墊本體50的氣壓以自動調整墊子硬度。 As described above, according to the airbag control device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the air pressure supplied to each of the air cells 51 to 54 can be individually set based on the body information indicating the physical state of the user, and therefore, based on the physical condition of the user. The air pressure of the air cushion body 50 is determined in detail to be able to provide the air cushion body 50 that is comfortable for the user of various body states. In other words, when considering the pain and acne in the body of the user, the physical condition is from mild to severe in various states, and even for a user with a mild physical condition, the hardness of the mat is a comfortable hardness. However, for users with severe physical conditions, it may be the hardness of the mat that deteriorates the acne. According to the present invention, for example, if the user inputs various body information of the user using the input operation panel 20 (with or without contracture, edema, or presence of hemorrhoids, etc.), the risk of acne can be determined based on the body information. When it is determined that the risk of occurrence of acne is high, the hardness of the mat is changed to "soft" or the like, and the air pressure supplied to the air cushion body 50 is set in accordance with the physical condition to automatically adjust the mat hardness.

(產業上之利用可能性) (industrial use possibility)

如上述說明,本發明在可以針對於各種身體狀況的利用者適當地設定供給氣墊的氣壓這一高實用效果的優點,因此在產業上具有極高的產業利用可能性。 As described above, the present invention has an advantage of being highly practical for setting the air pressure of the air cushion to the user of various physical conditions, and therefore has an extremely high industrial utilization possibility in the industry.
