Abstract: Objective To aim at the problem of bedsore which is always occurred on the crowd of the aging population,empty-nest family and the disabled patients etc,a two-way side turn over mechanism for intelligent sanitation nursing instrument is designed.Methods The turn over angle of the mechanism was analyzed and calculated after establishing the mechanism's three-dimensional model.The forces situation of the state of lying,side lean against and left/right side turn over were carried out through finite element analysis by using of Pro/Mechanica.Results The results showed that the sum of two-way side turn over mechanism's two-way side turn over angle was 30 degrees.The materials met the mechanism's force requirement.Conclusions The results can provide a theoretical basis for the designer to determine the structure parameters and sizes of mechanism.
