Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of neonatal care appliances, and in particular to a three-step body positioning mat for neonates in prone position. Background Art

[0002] The three-step prone positioning cushion for newborns is a medical assistive device designed specifically for newborns. It is mainly used to standardize prone posture, improve respiratory function, prevent complications and promote development. It is an important tool for respiratory management and position intervention in newborns (especially premature babies).

[0003] In the related art, a three-step body support cushion for prone position is usually provided in three steps for layered support.

[0004] For example, a three-level stepped anti-slip mat for newborns with application number CN202121135696.0 can adapt to the body sizes of different newborns by changing the positions of the three sponge pads by setting different first sponge pads, second sponge pads and third sponge pads. However, it can only achieve basic body position support, but there is a problem of a single adjustment dimension, and it cannot adapt to the body position requirements required for different diseases of newborns.

[0005] For example, a multi-stage adjustable positioning cushion with application number CN202321506121.4 can adjust the positioning cushion to meet the different positioning needs of newborns through a multi-stage adjustable cushion structure. Although the positioning cushion uses a combination of fan-shaped air bags and separate inflation and deflation to enable the positioning cushion to meet the three-step prone position or supine position with the upper body raised, for the support of the chest and abdominal areas of some sick newborns, the overall support pressure distribution cannot match the support needs of sick newborns, and the needs of special therapeutic positions for newborns (for example, in newborns with aspiration pneumonia, the head needs to be lower than the lower limbs) cannot be met.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a prone three-step body position cushion that can match the physiological curvature of newborns and can be flexibly adjusted to meet the various body position requirements of newborns. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0031] The following describes a three-step prone position mat for newborns according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the three-step prone position cushion for newborns in the embodiment of the present application may include a head support frame 100, a chest and abdomen support frame 200, and a leg support frame 300 arranged in sequence.

[0033] The head support frame 100 and the chest and abdomen support frame 200 are connected via an adjustment device 400 to adjust the height and tilt angle of the head support frame 100 .

[0034] As a possible scenario, Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting device 400 includes a first driving motor 410 , a second driving motor 420 and a rotating arm 430 .

[0035] Among them, the first drive motor 410 is arranged on the chest and abdomen support frame 200, and the output end of the first drive motor 410 is connected to one end of the rotating arm 430, and the second drive motor 420 is arranged on the other end of the rotating arm 430, and the output end of the second drive motor 420 is connected to the head support frame 100.

[0036] It should be noted that the rotation amplitude of the neonatal head support frame 100 is small and the load is light, so the first drive motor 410 and the second drive motor 420 (such as micro stepping motors) can reduce the size of the equipment, adapt to the space limitations of the crib or incubator, and achieve millimeter-level angle accuracy through closed-loop control to meet the clinical fine-tuning requirements for head support. Therefore, the controllability of the drive is better than that of mechanical transmission.

[0037] It can be understood that the rotation of the first drive motor 410 can drive the rotating arm 430 to rotate, thereby changing the position of the head support frame 100, and then causing a height difference between the head support frame 100 and the chest and abdomen support frame 200, and the rotation of the second drive motor 420 can cause the head support frame 100 to have a tilt angle. In addition, by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the first drive motor 410, the entire head support frame 100 can be raised or lowered to achieve the requirement that the head support frame 100 is higher than the chest and abdomen support frame 200 or the head support frame 100 is lower than the chest and abdomen support frame 200.

[0038] For example, when the head support frame 100 needs to be raised to a height of L and tilted to an angle of A, the first driving motor 410 is driven to rotate the adjustment device 400 and the head support frame 100 which were originally in a collinear and horizontal state.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to the trigonometric sine function formula L=L1*SinB, (L is the height difference between the head support frame 100 and the chest and abdomen support frame, L1 is the effective length of the rotating arm 430, and B is the required rotation angle), when L1 and L are known, the required rotation angle B of the rotating arm 430 can be calculated.

[0040] The first drive motor 410 drives the rotating arm 430 to rotate by angle B and then stops, and then a compensation calculation is performed, that is, the actual required rotation angle C of the second drive motor 420 = BA (A is the target angle, B is the rotation angle of the rotating arm 430). Therefore, after the first drive motor 410 rotates by angle B, the second drive motor 420 rotates by angle C to achieve the requirements of the head support frame 100 being lifted by L and tilted by angle A.

[0041] A plurality of air bags 201 that fit the table surface are arranged side by side on the chest and abdomen support frame 200. The pressure of each air bag 201 is independently adjusted by a micro pump to achieve local convexity or concavity.

[0042] As a possible scenario, the multiple airbags 201 can be arranged in two rows, with at least three airbags in each row, thereby forming at least six independent control areas to individually control different parts of the newborn's chest and abdomen.

[0043] The chest and abdomen support frame 200 and the leg support frame 300 are connected via a lifting device 500 to adjust the height of the leg support frame 300.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the lifting device 500 includes a rotating structure 510 and a connecting rod 520 .

[0045] Among them, two parallel connecting rods 520 are pivotally connected on the same side of the chest and abdomen support frame 200 and the leg support frame 300, and the rotating structure 510 is set at the bottom of the chest and abdomen support frame 200, and the rotating end of the rotating structure 510 is connected to the pivot end of one of the connecting rods 520.

[0046] It should be noted that, by providing the parallel connecting rods 520 , when the connecting rods 520 rotate, the leg support frame 300 is always kept from tilting, that is, the leg support frame 300 is smoothly raised and lowered.

[0047] To clearly illustrate the previous embodiment, in one embodiment of the present application, the rotating structure 510 includes a third driving motor 511 , a worm 512 , a worm wheel 513 and a rotating rod 514 .

[0048] Among them, the rotating rod 514 is connected to the pivot end of the connecting rod 520, the worm gear 513 is set on the rotating rod 514, the worm 512 can be rotatably set at the bottom of the chest and abdomen support frame 200 through the installation cavity 501, and is connected to the worm gear 513, and the output end of the third drive motor 511 is connected to the worm gear 512.

[0049] It should be noted that the transmission between the worm wheel 513 and the worm 512 in the rotating structure 510 has a self-locking feature, which can maintain the leg support angle without an additional braking device, preventing accidental displacement due to gravity or baby's activities. Moreover, since the leg support frame 300 needs to bear the weight of the baby's lower limbs and possible pedaling movements, the transmission ratio of the worm wheel 513 and the worm 512 can amplify the output torque of the third drive motor 511, ensuring smoothness and load capacity during low-speed rotation, and its static stability is better than that of direct motor drive.

[0050] It can also be understood that by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the third drive motor 511, the entire leg support frame 300 can be raised or lowered to achieve the requirement that the leg support frame 300 is higher than the chest and abdomen support frame 200 or the leg support frame 300 is lower than the chest and abdomen support frame 200.

[0051] For example, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, when the height difference between the leg support frame 300 and the chest and abdomen support frame 200 needs to be adjusted to H, according to the trigonometric sine function formula H=L2*SinD, (L2 is the effective length of the connecting rod 520, and D is the angle at which the connecting rod 520 needs to rotate), when H and L2 are known, the required rotation angle D of the connecting rod 520 can be obtained. Since the connecting rod 520 and the worm 512 are coaxially arranged, the rotation angle D of the worm 512 can be obtained, which can be controlled by the third drive motor 511.

[0052] To further improve the control of the head support frame 100, the airbag 201 and the leg support frame 300, the prone three-step body position cushion for newborns also includes a controller 600, and the adjustment device 400, the lifting device 500 and the micro pump of the airbag 201 are electrically connected to the controller 600 respectively.

[0053] Specifically, the first drive motor 410, the second drive motor 420 and the third drive motor 511 are electrically connected to the controller 600 respectively; further, the micro pump corresponding to the airbag 201 is electrically connected to the controller 600, and the relevant staff can enter specific parameters, such as the height and angle required to adjust the head support frame 100, the height required to adjust the leg support frame 300, and the pressure required for the airbag 201, so that the controller 600 can control the adjustment device 400, the lifting device 500 and the micro pump respectively.

[0054] For example, for newborns with gastroesophageal reflux, since gastric contents reflux into the esophagus, the risk of reflux needs to be reduced by placing the baby in a head-high, feet-low position. The head support frame 100 can be raised by 15 mm and tilted at a 10° angle to keep the airway open. The airbag 201 in the stomach area can be pressurized to 20-25 mmHg to limit gastric expansion. The airbag 201 in the esophagus area can be depressurized to 8-10 mmHg to reduce pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter. At the same time, the leg support frame 300 can be lowered by 5 mm to form a head-high, feet-low position. Gravity is used to reduce intragastric pressure. Combined with pressurization in the stomach area to inhibit gastric expansion and decompression in the esophagus area to avoid sphincter pressure, the frequency of reflux is reduced, thereby reducing the frequency of reflux and improving feeding tolerance.

[0055] For newborns with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, due to poor lung compliance, dynamic pressure stimulation is required to promote secretion discharge. The head support frame 100 can be controlled to rise 5mm and tilt 10° to expand the airway diameter; the air bags 201 at the midline of the sternum and the left intercostal area are alternately pressurized to 18mmHg (at intervals of 5 seconds), and the air bags 201 at the right intercostal and ventral lateral areas are alternately depressurized to 12mmHg (at intervals of 5 seconds); the leg support frame 300 is periodically raised and lowered by ±5mm (at a frequency of 5 times / minute) to promote lymphatic return. The alternating pressurization of the air bags 201 simulates percussion expectoration to reduce secretion retention. The leg swinging enhances blood circulation and improves oxygenation, thereby improving lung dynamic compliance and reducing carbon dioxide partial pressure.

[0056] For newborns with aspiration pneumonia, due to the retention of respiratory secretions, postural drainage is required to promote sputum discharge. The head support frame 100 is lowered by 10 mm and tilted at a -5° angle. The airbag 201 in the lung area is depressurized to 8 mmHg to reduce chest pressure, and the airbag 201 in the abdomen area is pressurized to 15 mmHg to stabilize the abdominal pressure. The leg support frame 300 remains horizontal to avoid chest pressure. The head-down and feet-high position promotes gravity drainage of secretions. The chest and abdomen zone pressure adjustment maintains respiratory stability, which can improve sputum drainage efficiency and oxygen saturation.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, a concave structure 101 matching the face of a newborn is provided on the head support frame 100 , and a detachable neck pillow 102 is provided on one side of the concave structure 101 close to the neck of the newborn.

[0058] As a possible scenario, a male Velcro patch is provided on the surface of the concave structure 101 of the head support frame 100, and a female Velcro patch is sewn on the back of the neck pillow 102. The male Velcro patch and the female Velcro patch are detachably attached.

[0059] As another possible situation, guide rails are set on both sides of the concave structure 101, and a clip matching the guide rails is embedded in the bottom of the neck pillow 102. When disassembling, gently pull the clip of the neck pillow 102 outward, and when installing, align it with the guide rails and push it in.

[0060] It should be noted that, for healthy newborns, the neck pillow 102 needs to be removed when the newborns lie prone, while it can be installed as needed for sick newborns.

[0061] To clearly illustrate the above embodiment, in one embodiment of the present application, the neck pillow 102 includes a flexible support layer, a magnetorheological elastic layer, and a silicone surface layer that are sequentially coated.

[0062] Among them, a miniature electromagnetic coil is embedded in the magnetorheological elastic layer to adjust the hardness by reorganizing the chain of magnetic particles in the rheological elastic layer through electromagnetic changes. A capacitive pressure sensor is embedded on the surface of the silicone, and the pressure sensor and the electromagnetic coil are electrically connected to the controller 600 respectively, so that the hardness of the neck pillow 102 can be automatically adjusted through the change of the pressure value of the pressure sensor.

[0063] It should be noted that the magnetic particles in the rheological elastic layer include neodymium iron boron particles with a volume share of 30% and a particle size of 5-10μm. Under normal conditions (no magnetic field), the magnetic particles are randomly distributed and have a low elastic modulus (0.5kPa); when the magnetic field is activated, the magnetic particles are arranged in a chain along the direction of the magnetic field, and the elastic modulus is increased to 5kPa.

[0064] Specifically, when the newborn is lying prone, the pressure sensor collects neck pressure in real time, and the controller 600 dynamically matches the hardness of the magnetorheological layer based on the pressure data.

[0065] For newborns with respiratory distress syndrome, if the neck pressure is detected to be too high, the magnetorheological layer will be locally hardened to stabilize the airway opening; for newborns with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, if the pressure difference on both sides of the neck is detected to exceed the threshold, the low-pressure side electromagnetic coil will be controlled to reduce the flow to soften the material, guide the head and neck to the center, and improve the drainage of secretions.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, in order to prevent limbs or skin from falling into gaps and maintain body position stability, elastic bands for blocking gaps are respectively provided at adjacent locations of the head support frame 100, the chest and abdomen support frame 200, and the leg support frame 300. In addition, in order to further ensure the stability of the entire body position cushion, the chest and abdomen support frame 200 is provided with a bracket 202.

[0067] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 8 As shown, by controlling the first drive motor 410, the second drive motor 420 and the third drive motor 511, the head support frame 100 and the leg support frame 300 can be stored under the chest support frame 200 to reduce space occupation when not in use.

[0068] In summary, according to the embodiment of the present application, the three-step prone position cushion is used for newborns. Through the setting of the adjustment device 400, the height and angle of the head support frame 100 can be controlled. Through the setting of the lifting device 500, the height of the foot support frame can be adjusted to meet the needs of various body positions of newborns. By arranging multiple air bags 201 on the chest and abdomen support frame, differentiated support can be provided for different areas of the chest and abdomen of the newborn, thereby improving the adaptability to newborn diseases. Therefore, the present application can not only adapt to the prone position of ordinary newborns, but also meet the body position adjustment required for different disease conditions of newborns.
