Infant pillow with multple functions

Abstract

An infant pillow includes a base, a panel located, a moving support device and a control module. The panel is located above the base. Wherein the panel includes a surface defining a head portion region and a shoulder-back portion region extending outwards from a center of a side of the head portion region. The moving support device is located between the panel and the base. The control module is electrically connected with the moving support device and located between the panel and the base. Wherein the panel within the head portion region defines an inner concave; a milk sensing unit is disposed near two opposite sides of the inner concave; the milk sensing unit and the control module are electrically connected. The above infant pillow can detect whether the infant vomits milk and reduce chances of the infant being in danger.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to an infant pillow, and more particularly, to an infant pillow with multiple functions.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Generally, in addition to head deformation, infants often have vomiting milk problems.[0005]Existing technologies adjust head deformation by a stereotypes pillow. However, the vomiting milk problem occurs because that esophagus, intestinal and other digestive systems of an infant are not yet fully developed, especially because cardiac sphincter of most infants is not yet matured and cannot be closed tightly when they're newborn, which easily results in vomiting milk. For some infants with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, milk is easy to accumulate in the stomach and cannot be digested and absorbed successfully, which easily lead to vomiting milk. Furthermore, the main food of an infant is liquid milk, which easily reflux and more easily reflux when the body is lying than when the body...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an infant pillow that can detect if an infant has vomited milk while sleeping. This is important because it can help reduce the risk of the infant being in danger. The pillow has a moving support device, a control module, and a milk sensing unit. When the infant vomits milk, the milk sensing unit can detect it and send a signal to the control module. The control module then processes the signal and sends a control signal to adjust the slope of the pillow. This allows the pillow to detect if the infant has vomited milk and take appropriate action to reduce the risk of danger.

Problems solved by technology

Generally, in addition to head deformation, infants often have vomiting milk problems.

However, the vomiting milk problem occurs because that esophagus, intestinal and other digestive systems of an infant are not yet fully developed, especially because cardiac sphincter of most infants is not yet matured and cannot be closed tightly when they're newborn, which easily results in vomiting milk.

For some infants with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, milk is easy to accumulate in the stomach and cannot be digested and absorbed successfully, which easily lead to vomiting milk.

Vomiting milk problem will occur if an infant is directly flat laid on a bed or a common infant bed when the infant is too full or inhales too much air after being fed with milk.

Vomiting milk not only causes that the infant cannot fully absorb milk and cannot be fed fully which results in malnutrition and crying, but also causes insanitary and that it is inconvenient to clean up, and furthermore causes the infant being choked by milk.

When a large quantity of milk is vomited, it will cause obstruction of trachea and that the infant cannot breath and immediately anoxia which endangers the life.

When a small quantity of milk is vomited, the infant may also inhale the milk deeply into the lungs which results in aspiration pneumonia.

However, the vomiting milk problem of the infant is still difficult to avoid.

Especially at night or when the parents are not at the side of their infant, the vomiting milk problem cannot be solved timely, which may cause the infant in danger.
