[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] like Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, a novel postoperative bone flap position protection and pressure detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a support mechanism, a protection mechanism, a decompression mechanism, and a detection mechanism. The support mechanism is worn on the patient's head and includes multiple skeletons 1, each skeleton 1 having an arc-shaped structure. The two ends of the multiple skeletons 1 are rotatably connected by a connecting component, forming a fan-shaped region 2 between adjacent skeletons 1. The protection mechanism is used to protect the bone flap removal site and is rotatably mounted on the skeleton 1. Rotating the protection mechanism adjusts the size of the fan-shaped region 2. The decompression mechanism is located at the bottom of the skeleton 1, and the skeleton 1 contacts the patient's scalp through the decompression mechanism. The detection mechanism is mounted on the decompression mechanism and is used to indirectly detect intracranial pressure.
[0021] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the support mechanism is worn on the patient's head, wherein the skeleton 1 is provided in three parts, which can be distributed on the forehead, the top of the head and the back of the head respectively.
[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting assembly includes a screw, and connecting holes are provided at both ends of the plurality of skeletons 1. The screw passes through the connecting holes, and a spacer 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw located inside the skeleton 1. A fastening nut 4 is threadedly connected to the other end of the screw.
[0023] In this embodiment of the utility model, rotating the fastening nut 4 outward can rotate the frame 1 and adjust the position of the frame 1. After the position is adjusted, the fastening nut 4 can be rotated again to press and fix the frame 1 between the spacer 3 and the fastening bolt.
[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, the protective mechanism includes a rotating rod 6 and a transparent covering cloth 5. The rotating rod 6 is arc-shaped, and both ends of the rotating rod 6 are rotatably mounted on the frame 1. One end of the transparent covering cloth 5 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 6. In this utility model, the frame 1 is provided with a connecting hole, and the rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected in the connecting hole. There is a certain friction between the rotating rod 6 and the connecting hole, and it can be shaped after rotating a certain angle. The rotating rod 6 will not rotate without the application of external force.

In this embodiment, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to a controller, which is electrically connected to an audible and visual alarm. After bone flap removal, when intracranial pressure increases, the skull skin will bulge. The pressure is detected indirectly by the flexible pressure sensor 8.
[0028] In one embodiment of this invention, fixing straps 9 are respectively fitted onto the screws at both ends of the frame 1. One fixing strap 9 has a Velcro surface, and the other fixing strap 9 has a Velcro loop surface. After the support mechanism is worn on the head, the two fixing straps 9 are glued together in the form of Velcro, thereby fixing the support mechanism to the patient's head.
