Description

Adjustable mattress

The present invention relates to a mattress, especially an adjustable mattress for patients.

In general, patients who stay in bed for a long period of time are unable to get up, so they particularly need help from the caregiver in body cleaning and back massage. For body cleaning, take the arrangement before excretion and the cleaning after excretion as an example. The method, or the way to prepare the potty and potty, so that the patient will not contaminate the bed during excretion, and wipe the excretory part with toilet paper or clean water afterwards to keep the excretion part comfortable, but these actions However, it can only be successfully completed when it is necessary to rely on multiple caregivers to assist in support and turn over. Another example is hair cutting or shampooing. In the past, it was still relying on multiple caregivers to move the patient's position or raise the patient's head to smoothly wash the back of the head. Taking back massage as an example, patients who stay in bed for a long time are prone to muscle weakness and even atrophy due to nerve compression. Therefore, caregivers must regularly massage the patient to relieve muscles and nerves. Under this circumstance, in order to turn the patient over, it still needs a lot of manpower to complete the method. According to this, not only the labor cost but also the time cost for the long-term bed care patients are greatly increased.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an adjustable mattress that can solve the above problems.

Therefore, the adjustable mattress of the present invention is suitable for lying on a patient. The adjustable mattress includes a plurality of mattress bodies and a pump. Each mattress body includes a hollow surface cloth structure for the patient to bear against, and at least one flexible air cushion structure disposed in the surface cloth structure, and the air cushion structure defines a receiving space. The pump communicates with the accommodating spaces of the air cushion structures, and the pump is driven to evacuate or inflate the corresponding accommodating spaces, so that the thickness of the corresponding air cushion structure and the corresponding surface cloth structure can be increased When the pump draws air into the accommodating space to reduce the thickness of the corresponding air cushion structure and corresponding table cloth structure, the table cloth structure will be spaced apart from the patient and jointly define a The operation space is suitable for the hand of a caregiver to extend into the operation.

In some embodiments, the mattress bodies are detachably joined and arranged along a length direction.

In some embodiments, each mattress body includes a plurality of air cushion structures, and the air cushion structures extend along a width direction and are arranged along a length direction, and two adjacent air cushion structures are connected to each other.

In some embodiments, each air cushion structure has a hollow cylindrical shape.

In some embodiments, each mattress body further includes a filling structure disposed in the accommodating space.

In some embodiments, each filling structure is a sponge.

The effect of the present invention is that the adjustable mattress can instantly deflate or inflate the air cushion structures through the pump, and then adjust the thickness of the air cushion structures, so that the caregivers can take care of the patients independently, thereby saving human resources. In addition, since these mattress bodies can be used in combination according to needs, the use flexibility of caregivers is greatly increased, and the burden of caregivers can be reduced by quickly splicing and combining.

1 to 2, an embodiment of the adjustable mattress of the present invention includes multiple mattress bodies 1 and a pump 2. In this embodiment, the number of the mattress bodies 1 is four, for supporting the head, back, buttocks, and legs of a patient. Moreover, the mattress bodies 1 are arranged along a longitudinal direction D1. Specifically, two adjacent mattress bodies 1 are fixedly connected to each other, but may also be separated from each other, so that the caregiver can appropriately arrange according to the patient's body shape.

Each mattress body 1 includes a hollow surface cloth structure 11 and at least one flexible air cushion structure 12 disposed in the surface cloth structure 11, and the air cushion structure 12 defines an accommodating space 121. In this embodiment, each table cloth structure 11 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and can be connected by devil felt or button joints. Of course, each table cloth structure 11 can also be integrally connected to define a The installation space 111 is used for a plurality of air cushion structures 12 to be arranged side by side. Furthermore, each surface cloth structure 11 is made of cloth material (for example, nylon, polyester fiber, polyurethane, thermoplastic polyurethane, etc.), so as to improve the comfort of the patient during contact. Even, the bottom of each surface cloth structure 11 can also be made of hard materials, such as plastic plates, wooden boards, etc., thereby increasing the overall stability of the adjustable mattress. Each mattress body 1 includes three air cushion structures 12, wherein each air cushion structure 12 has a hollow cylindrical shape and is not connected to each other. Specifically, each air cushion structure 12 extends along a width direction D2 and is in the same table The air cushion structures 12 in the cloth structure 11 are arranged side by side along the length direction D1, and two adjacent air cushion structures 12 are sewn and connected to each other, thereby ensuring that the two air cushion structures 12 will not move relative to each other. Of course, the number of the air cushion structures 12 provided in each surface cloth structure 11 can be adjusted according to the space size of the actual surface cloth structure 11, and is not limited to the above. In addition, the shape of each air cushion structure 12 is not limited to a cylindrical shape. In other embodiments, the shape may also be a rectangular parallelepiped, a polygon, or the like.

With reference to FIG. 3, in another embodiment, each mattress body 1 further includes a plurality of filling structures 13 respectively disposed in the accommodating space 121. These filling structures 13 are exemplified by sponges. By filling the accommodating space 121 with the filling structures 13, the supportability of the mattress can be effectively improved without affecting the thickness.

1 and 4, the pump 2 communicates with the accommodating spaces 121 of the air cushion structures 12. In this embodiment, the pump 2 includes a pump body 21 and a pipeline group 22. Among them, the pump body 21 is used for pumping or inflating. The pipeline group 22 has a manifold pipe 221, a plurality of connecting pipes 222, and a plurality of airtight valves 223. The connecting pipes 222 are respectively connected to the accommodating spaces 121. Further, the connecting pipes 222 are respectively connected to the bottom sides of the accommodating spaces 121, and the connecting pipes 222 are not connected to the accommodating spaces One end of 121 is connected to the manifold pipe 221, and finally the other end of the manifold pipe 221 is connected to the pump body 21. In this case, the airtight valves 223 are respectively provided with the connecting pipe members 222, so that care personnel can The airtight valve 223 corresponding to the actual demand is switched, so that the corresponding air cushion structure 12 achieves the effect of adjusting the thickness. Specifically, the air drawn through the pump 2 is connected to the accommodating space 121 due to the connection pipe 222 The relationship of the bottom side of the table cloth makes the surface structure 11 gradually lower the upper surface (that is, the surface in contact with the patient) during the pumping process and recesses to form an operating space 14, thereby simultaneously ensuring the surface cloth The bottom side of the structure 11 is firmly against the ground or bed board. For the method to ensure that the bottom side of the table cloth structure 11 does not shrink due to suction, as above, by replacing the bottom of the table cloth structure 11 with a hard material, by increasing the weight of the bottom, the air At this time, the upper surface of the cloth structure 11 begins to shrink downward. In addition, of course, the pipeline set 22 can also omit the manifold pipe 221 and the airtight valve 223, and the pump body 21 and a connecting pipe 222 can be used to pump or inflate the air cushion structure 12 whose thickness is to be adjusted.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, a caregiver can turn on the pump 2 to start pumping. In this embodiment, the patient’s buttocks are cleaned as an example. The caregiver will use the corresponding airtight valves 223 Turning on, the air of the air cushion structures 12 corresponding to the buttocks is drawn out, and the thickness of the air cushion structures 12 gradually decreases. In this case, the thickness of the air cushion structures 12 decreases, so that the surface cloth structure 11 The surface originally attached to the patient's buttocks is recessed downward to form the operation space 14, and the operation space 14 can be used for hand extension, and the tension around the buttocks is sufficient to support the buttocks, so that the buttocks The part does not sag with the cloth structure 11. In this way, the caregiver can reach out and clean the buttocks for the patient, thereby greatly improving the convenience of the caregiver. Subsequently, after cleaning, the caregiver can drive the pump 2 again to inflate the air cushion structures 12 corresponding to the buttocks, so that the thickness of the corresponding air cushion structure 12 and the corresponding surface cloth structure 11 increase, and Support the buttocks as shown in Figure 2.

On the other hand, taking head cleaning as an example, the caregiver can reduce the air cushion structures 12 corresponding to the head position by operating the airtight valve 223, thereby forming the operating space 14 as described above. In this way, the caregiver can clean the hair of the patient by an external device, and at the same time support the patient's neck through the air cushion structure 12 to ensure that the patient's neck will not be injured due to the suspended head. On the other hand, the caregiver also controls the operation mode of the airtight valve 223 to alternately suspend a part of the patient's back (ie, to create the operating space 14), so that the caregiver can replace the patient's back without turning the patient over massage.

In summary, the new adjustable mattress of the present invention can pump or inflate the air cushion structures 12 with the pump 2 in real time, and then adjust the thickness of the air cushion structures 12 to facilitate caregivers to take care of patients independently, thereby saving Human Resources. In addition, since these mattress bodies 1 can be used in combination according to requirements, the use flexibility of the caregiver is greatly increased, and the burden of the caregiver can be reduced by quickly splicing the combination, so it can really achieve the purpose of new cost.

However, the above are only examples of the new model. When the scope of the new model cannot be limited by this, any simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the patent application scope and patent specification content of the new model are still regarded as Within the scope of this new patent.
