The auxiliary turning-over device also comprises bases 2 welded at the headboard and footboard. The end portion of the roller 6 is connected with the drive mechanism. To be specific, the support frames 5 are provided with two brackets in a sleeved manner via bolts; the drive mechanism is a roller motor 7 arranged on the bracket; the end portions of the rollers 6 are in key connection with the rollers 6 of the roller motors 7; the rollers 6 are arranged above the support frames 5 and wound on the flexible carrier 13; the flexible carrier 13 is preferably made of an unwoven fabric with its end portions glued to the rollers 6; the flexible carrier 13 may also be made of any one of cotton cloth, non-woven fabric, nylon cloth and the like.

[0038] The support frames 5 are arm-rest frames. The end portion of the support frame 5 is in bolted connection with a swing arm 4. The swing arms 4 are of an arc shape. A plurality of lightening holes 8 are arranged on the swing arms 4. The end portions of the swing arms 4 away from the support frames 5 are rotatably connected with the bases 2. To be specific, the top end of the base 2 is in bolted connection with a connecting base 3. The connecting base 3 comprises a vertical connecting bar 11, and the connecting bar 11 is provided with four connecting holes 10 in the vertical direction. The swing arm 4 is connected with the connecting hole 10 on the top end of the connecting bar 11 via a pin roll. The middle of the swing arm 4 is rotatably connected with a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is rotatably connected on the base 2. The lifting mechanism is a hydraulic rod 12. Both the middle of the swing arm 4 and the base 2 are fixed with support seats 9 by bolts. The support seat 9 is integrated with two ear plates, the ear plates are provided with pin holes, and two ends of the hydraulic rod 12 are connected on the support seats 9 via pin rolls. The angle of the swing arms 4 driven by the hydraulic rods 12 to swing upward over the bed is 0-75°. The angle of the swing arms 4 driven by the hydraulic rods 12 to swing downward over the bed is 0-16°.

[0039] The particular implementation process is as follows: in practical use, the headboard and footboard of a bedstead are welded with a base 2 respectively; two sides of a bed 1 are respectively provided with a support frame 5; the end portion of the support frame 5 is connected with the connecting base 3 on the upper end of the base 2 through a pin roll, and is preferably connected into the connecting hole 10 on the top end of the connecting bar 11; the swing arms 4 at two sides respective abut against the front and back two sides of the connecting bar 11; a flexible carrier 13 is wound between two rollers 6 on the two support frames 5; and the roller motor 7 and the hydraulic rod 12 are connected with a controller via leads. In normal use, as shown in FIG. 3, the hydraulic rod 12 is in a contracted state so the swing arms 4 droop down below two sides of the bed 1, the swing arms 4 can be effectively contained below the bed as its maximum downward swinging angle is 16°, and the flexible carrier 13 is laid on the bed through the rollers 6 at the two sides of the bed 1. For paralyzed patients or patients with disabled lower limbs, they need nursing staff's help to go up to bed, operation is inconvenient, labor strength is high, accidental injure is easily caused. But if the device of the present invention is used, a patient is assisted to sit/lay on the edge of a bed, and then the roller motor is started so that the flexible carrier 13 is coiled toward one side so as to drive the patient to move to the middle of the bed. Or in the process, the flexible carrier 13 is lifted by the swing arms so that the flexible carrier 13 supports the patient to depart from the bed, therefore movement is smooth and the bed mat is kept tidy. Or the swing arms lift to render the patient on the flexible carrier 13 slide to the middle of the bed. As can be seen, the auxiliary turning-over device not only has the function of assisting bedridden patients to turn over but also help disabled people go up to bed. After a bedridden patient lies on the flexible carrier 13, the support frames 5 are contained below the bed 1 so as not to influence movement of the bedridden patient and nursing staff. The flexible carrier 3 made of an unwoven fabric is laid on the bed, which has no influence on movement of a bedridden patient but plays a protection role for the bed mat. If the bedridden patient needs to turn over, in combination with FIG. 2, the hydraulic rod 12 is controlled by the controller to stretch, so that the swing arms 4 swing upward around the connecting points with the connecting bars 11 to drive the support frames 5 and the rollers 6 to swing upward, and meanwhile the roller motors 7 drive the rollers 6 to rotate and release one portion of the flexible carrier 13, so that the support frames 5 and the rollers 6 are successfully lifted above the bed and the flexible carrier 13 laid on the bed is inclined, thus the bedridden patient gets an auxiliary force for turning over toward one side. The rollers 6 at two sides are controlled to swing, lift and rotate in accordance with actual requirements, and the maximum upward swinging angle of the swing arms 4 is 75°, therefore, it is effectively ensured that after the rollers 6 are lifted, the unilateral lift height of the flexible carrier 13 is sufficient to help the bedridden patient to turn over, and the bedridden patient is conveniently assisted to turn over. The whole structure is concise and practical, a soft clinging force is exerted to the bedridden patient from the flexible carrier 13 to turn over, the auxiliary turning-over process is mild, no influence on the bed mat is caused, and the device can be widely used in general wards.

[0040] As an embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of Embodiment One, the roller motors 7 and the hydraulic rods 12 are connected to a control terminal via leads. The control terminal is preferably a computer. In this embodiment, the control terminal and the bed 1 are placed in an inpatient ward together, and the control terminal is connected with a bed-carried controller via leads. In the use process of the embodiment, by virtue of the bed-carried controller, the bedridden patient gets access to convenient turning-over assistance, and the nursing staff also can help the bedridden patient to turn over using the bed-carried controller in the nursing process, therefore, use becomes convenient and rapid.

[0041] As an embodiment of the present invention, the control terminal is separately placed in a control room in which a plurality of auxiliary turning-over devices placed in a plurality of inpatient wards are under centralized control, therefore, contactless centralized management is facilitated. This solution is applied to occasions highly requiring turning-over assistance such as old people's homes, nursing homes for vegetative patients and the like.

[0042] As an embodiment of the present invention, the headboard or the swing arm 4 is provided with a surveillance camera that is connected with the control terminal via leads. Visualized remote operation of the auxiliary turning-over device is achieved by the control terminal, and auxiliary turning-over operation for the bedridden patients is conveniently and remotely facilitated

Embodiment Two

[0044] Substantially as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the present invention provides an auxiliary turning-over device, which comprises two parallel support frames 5. The support frame 5 comprises two abreast pedestals 14 and two racks 15 corresponding to the two pedestals 14. The pedestal 14 is formed by closure of two shell plates 24 that may be closed with each other via bolts. The pedestal 14 is internally provided with a mounting cavity. A hydraulic cylinder 16 is placed in the mounting cavity. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 16 is vertically arranged upward. The top end of the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 16 is welded with a push rod 17. A horizontal pin hole is formed on the top end of the push rod 17. The bottom end of the rack 15 has a U-shaped chute of which the lateral wall is provided with a through hole. Through holes on the two lateral walls of the U-shaped chute are penetrated by pin rods. The top end of the push rod 17 is inserted into the U-shaped chute. The pin rod penetrates into the pin hole of the push rod 17. A roller 6 is rotatably connected between the upper ends of the two racks 15 of a same support frame. To be specific, a bearing is embedded on the upper end of the rack 15, and the roller 6 and the bearing are in interference fit. One end of the roller 6 extends out of the bearing and is in key connection with a driven gear 19. The rack 15 below the driven gear 19 is provided with a motor 20 via bolts. The motor 20 is transversely arranged below the roller 6, and the main structure of the motor 20 is arranged between the two racks 15. The rack 15 where the motor 20 is placed has a through hole corresponding to the output shaft of the motor 20. The output shaft of the motor 20 transversely passes through the rack 15 to be in key connection with a drive gear 18. The drive gear 18 and the driven gear 19 are meshed. A flexible carrier is detachably connected between the rollers 6 on two support frames. A plurality of threaded holes are axially formed on the rollers 6. Bolts are connected inside the threaded holes. The flexible carrier 13 is pressed on the rollers 6 via bolts.

[0045] A supporting tube 22 is welded between two racks 15 of a same support frame and is placed below the motor 20. A lead connected with the motor 20 penetrates into the supporting tube 22. Two vertically abreast stop levers 21 are welded between two pedestals 14 of a same support frame. The stop levers 21 play a strengthening role for the structure of the support frames.

[0046] The motors 20 on the two support frames synchronously rotate. The control circuit structure of the motor 20 comprises forward and reverse switching circuits.

[0047] The particular implementation process is as follows: in combination with FIGS. 2 and 5, when in use, two support frames vertically abut against two sides of a medical bed 23 so that the flexible carrier 13 is laid on the bed mat of the medical bed 23 in a cross-over manner. A patient lies on the flexible carrier 13 when the medical bed 23 is used. If turning-over operation is needed in the patient nursing or treatment process, four hydraulic cylinders 16 are controlled to jack up synchronously, and the push rods 17 jack up the racks 15 so that two rollers 16 synchronously jack up and a frictional force between the flexible carrier 13 and the bed mat is relatively reduced, and the flexible carrier 13 is prevented from driving the bed mat to turn up. Then the motors 20 on the support frames are controlled to operate synchronously, so the drive gears 18 drive the driven gears 19, the driven gears 19 drive the rollers 16 to rotate, and the rollers 6 at two sides of the medical bed 23 synchronously rotate along the same direction, therefore, the flexible carrier 13 moves toward one side of the medical bed 23, and turning-over operation of the patient is achieved in the movement process. In the use process, it is also allowed that the roller 6 at one side is jacked up higher than the roller 6 at the other side, in such a case, the flexible carrier 13 is inclined to help the patient to turn over. After use, if the flexible carrier 13 is damaged or contaminated, the bolts on the rollers 6 are unscrewed, then the flexible carrier 13 is taken off from the rollers 6 to be replaced, and replacement and maintenance in accordance with the use conditions are convenient.

[0048] In this embodiment, the support frame has a flat outer structure in the use process and abuts against the medical bed 23, the flexible carrier 13 is laid on the bed mat, and the two support frames are put together when not in use, so occupied space is less. The flexible carrier 13 is laid on the bed mat so that air permeability is improved and pressure sores are avoided for patients, and turnup of the bed mat is prevented in the turning-over process of patients, nursing is facilitated, and injuries to patients are avoided due to flexible operation to the patients in the turning-over process. In this solution, under the drive of the hydraulic cylinders 16 and the motors 20, automation degree is high, labor strength of medical staff in assisting patients to turn over is lowered, and operation is convenient and rapid. Also in this solution, the whole structure is simple, raw materials are easy to obtain, the flexible carrier 13 is replaceable, production and use costs are lower than those of the existing device and medical and health requirements are well satisfied.

Embodiment Three

[0049] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the pedestal 14 is connected on the bedstead 231 of the medical bed 23 via bolts. A vertical slide 26 is connected on the pedestal 14 via bolts. The slide 26 is a plate of which the middle is provided with a vertical strip-shaped through hole 32. The slides 26 are distributed at the outer sides of the four corners of the medical bed 23. The pedestals 14 at the outer sides of the slides 26 are connected with hydraulic push rods 27 via bolts. The drive mechanism is a ball bearing 28 motor that is arranged on the top end of the rack 15 and is coaxially arranged with the roller 6. To be specific, two abreast ferrules 29 are welded on the top ends of the racks 15. Two ball bearings 28 of the ball bearing 28 motors are connected to the two ends of the rollers 6 in an interference-fit manner. The rollers 6 are made of conductive metals. The surfaces of the rollers 6 are covered by insulated material layers. In this embodiment, the insulated material layers are rubber layers. Two ends of the rollers 6 are clamped in the ferrules 29 of the racks 15. The end portions of the racks 15 at the headboard and footboard are connected with two vertically parallel pulleys 31 via bolts. The two pulleys 31 slide in strip-shaped through holes 32 in the slides 26. A push block 30 connected with the ferrule 29 of the rack 15 is arranged between the two pulleys 31. The push block 30 penetrates through the strip-shaped through hole 32. One end of the push block 30 penetrating through the strip-shaped through hole 32 is hinged with the top end of the hydraulic push rod 27.

[0050] In this embodiment, when in use, the support frames are connected at two sides of the bedstead 231 of the medical bed 23 via the pedestals 14. The flexible carrier 13 crosses over the bed mat of the medical bed 23. Therefore, when a patient needs to turn over, the hydraulic push rods 27 at four corners of the medical bed 23 synchronously or separately lift so that the flexible carrier 13 is parallelly lifted so as to reduce a friction force with the bed mat, or the flexible carrier 13 is unilaterally lifted or lifted from one corner so as to make a patient turn over. A flat design brings the advantages of less occupied space, good auxiliary turning-over effect of patients, and more applied occasions.

[0051] As an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, the lateral end of the drive gear 18 deviating from the motor 20 is coaxially connected with a handle 25. Therefore, when the motor 20 fails to start, for example no power is supplied, the handle 25 is artificially rotated to drive the rollers 6 to rotate so as to achieve turning-over operation of patients.

[0052] As an embodiment of the present invention, the motor 20 is integrated with a Bluetooth control module or a wireless control module that can be linked with mobile APP. Therefore, artificial and intelligent two modes are provided in this solution, so when there is no nursing staff, patients can intelligently control mobile APP, and easily turn over without use of any external force. Hence, practicability is high.

[0053] The above is merely the embodiments of the present invention, and the specific structure and/or features and the like that are common knowledge in the solution are not described in detail. However, it should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, various variations and improvements made without departing from the structure of the present invention shall fall into the scope of the present invention, and they have no influences on the implementation effects and patent practicability of the present invention. Therefore, the claims should prevail over the protection scope of the present invention, with the particular embodiments and the like in the present invention serving for the purpose of explaining the claims.
