Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to medical equipment, in particular to a pillow for assisting ultrasonic examination. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of medical and health care, ultrasound examination has been widely used in routine clinical examinations, but some ultrasound examinations require some changes in body position or special body positions to collect the required standard sections and scan clearly. The number of people undergoing ultrasound examinations has increased dramatically. Patients in outpatient and emergency examinations cannot change their body positions due to illness or physical weakness and cannot change their body positions to cooperate with ultrasound doctors. With the advancement of aging, ultrasound examination patients include more and more elderly patients, or young patients have difficulty maintaining an examination position for a long time. Due to the above problems, ultrasound doctors can only examine in a body position that does not fully meet the examination requirements. The collected images may not meet the standard sections, resulting in deviations in various parameter data, or the images are not clear enough. Relying on doctors' empirical examinations and diagnoses may lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a pillow for assisting ultrasonic examination, which can assist in adjusting the patient's head or neck posture, assist in ultrasonic examination, make the ultrasonic examination image clearer, and make the doctor's diagnosis more accurate.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a pillow for assisting ultrasonic examination, comprising a pillow core and a pillowcase wrapping the pillow core, the pillow core comprising a soft filling layer and a posture adjustment component, the filling layer being located between the posture adjustment component and the pillowcase, the posture adjustment component comprising a lifting mechanism and a rotating mechanism both located on both sides of the neck, the lifting mechanisms on both sides cooperate with each other to adjust the rotation angle of the neck, and the rotating mechanisms on the lifting mechanisms on both sides are used to lift the height of the neck and position it, so as to expose the neck skin.

[0005] As a further improvement of the present invention, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting rod and a driving component, and the driving component is used to drive the lifting rod to extend and retract; a rubber interlayer is arranged between the filling layer and the lifting rod, and the rubber interlayer is in a sunken state corresponding to the position between the two lifting rods, so as to support the neck.

[0006] As a further improvement of the present invention, a pulley is provided at the end of the lifting rod corresponding to the rubber barrier.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the rotating mechanism includes a connecting member installed on the lifting rod and a roller arranged on the connecting member, a clutch mechanism is arranged between the connecting member and the driving component, and when the lifting rod is lifted into place, the connecting member rotates in cooperation with the driving component through the clutch mechanism, and when the lifting rod is lowered into place, the connecting member disengages from the driving component through the clutch mechanism.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the lifting rod includes a screw, a first bevel gear arranged on the screw, and a fixed base. The screw is threadedly connected to the fixed base, and the driving component is located on the fixed base. The screw is driven to lift and lower by the driving component and lifts and lowers the lifting rod.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments given in the accompanying drawings.

[0013] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, A pillow for assisting ultrasonic examination comprises a pillow core 1 and a pillowcase 2 wrapping the pillow core 1, wherein the pillow core 1 comprises a soft filling layer 11 and a posture adjustment component 12, wherein the filling layer 11 is located between the posture adjustment component 12 and the pillowcase 2, and the posture adjustment component 12 comprises a lifting mechanism 121 and a rotating mechanism 122 both located on both sides of the neck, wherein the lifting mechanisms 121 on both sides cooperate with each other to adjust the rotation angle of the neck, and the rotating mechanisms 122 on the lifting mechanisms 121 on both sides are used to lift the height of the neck and position it, so as to expose the neck skin.

[0014] When the user needs to perform an ultrasonic examination of the neck or head, the pillow in this solution can be placed under the patient's head for support. At this time, the head posture can be restricted to facilitate the accuracy of the examination, and the height of the corresponding position can be adjusted by the lifting mechanism 121 on both sides of the neck to make the patient's head rotate. Then, the rotating mechanism 122 is used to rotate the head with the adjusted angle to lift the head and support the neck at the same time, so that the skin of the neck can be exposed as much as possible, which is convenient for ultrasonic examination. This solution allows patients who are unable to turn their heads or have movement disorders to better adjust their neck posture, making the collected images more accurate and the symptom analysis more accurate.

[0015] In the specific scheme, the lifting mechanism 121 includes a lifting rod 1211 and a driving component 1212, and the driving component 1212 is used to drive the lifting rod 1211 to extend and retract; a rubber interlayer 3 is arranged between the filling layer 11 and the lifting rod 1211, and the rubber interlayer 3 is in a sunken state corresponding to the position between the two lifting rods 1211, which is used to support the neck.

[0016] The driving component 1212 can be located near the two sides of the pillow. Due to the sunken state of the lifting rod 1211 and the rubber interlayer 3 in this solution, the two sides will not contact the patient's skin, so it will not increase discomfort. The sunken part of the rubber interlayer 3 can also provide a better head posture fixation effect, and the lifting rod 1211 is located on both sides of the head, which can further increase the limiting effect and make inspection more convenient.

[0017] Through the cooperation of the two lifting rods 1211, the neck and the head can be turned left, right, or lifted.

[0018] As an implementation method capable of reducing damage to the rubber barrier layer 3 , a pulley 4 is provided at the end of the lifting rod 1211 corresponding to the rubber barrier layer 3 .

[0019] In a further configuration, the rotating mechanism 122 includes a connecting member 1221 installed on the lifting rod 1211 and a roller 1222 arranged on the connecting member 1221, a clutch mechanism 5 is arranged between the connecting member 1221 and the driving component 1212, and when the lifting rod 1211 is lifted into place, the connecting member 1221 rotates in cooperation with the driving component 1212 through the clutch mechanism 5, and when the lifting rod 1211 is lowered into place, the connecting member 1221 disengages from the driving component 1212 through the clutch mechanism 5.

[0020] The rotating mechanism 122 can cooperate with the lifting rod 1211. After the lifting rod 1211 is lifted into place, the driving component 1212 and the connecting member 1221 will be linked through the clutch mechanism 5, so that the connecting member 1221 can rotate and the position support of the roller 1222 can be improved. As the connecting member 1221 rotates, the patient's neck can be lifted to expose the skin as much as possible to facilitate ultrasonic examination. Moreover, this lifting has a filling and rubber isolation layer for isolation to reduce discomfort. At the same time, the contact between the pillowcase 2 and the skin of the neck and head can be reduced by lifting, which is convenient for examination.

[0021] By setting the clutch mechanism 5, the number of driving components 1212 can be reduced, which facilitates reducing the weight of the pillow and makes it easier for medical staff to carry it.

[0022] It is best if the bottom of the pillow has a hard material as support to maintain the overall shape and avoid misalignment of components, which may lead to linkage failure.

[0023] More specifically, the lifting rod 1211 includes a top rod 12111, a screw rod 12112, a first bevel gear 51 arranged on the screw rod 12112, and a fixed base 12113. The connecting member 1221 is rotatably connected to the top rod 12111. The top rod 12111 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 12112. The screw rod 12112 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 12113. The driving component 1212 is located on the fixed base 12113. The screw rod 12112 is driven to rotate by the driving component 1212 and lifts the top rod 12111. The first bevel gear 51 is coaxially fixed with the screw rod 12112, and the second bevel gear 52 is arranged at the position where the connecting member 1221 connects the top rod 12111. When the top rod 12111 is lifted to the point where the first bevel gear 51 and the second bevel gear 52 are engaged, the screw rod 12112 rotates and drives the connecting member 1221 to rotate through the first bevel gear 51 and the second bevel gear 52, so that the roller 1222 on the connecting member 1221 cooperates with the rubber interlayer 3 to lift the neck and support it; the first bevel gear 51 and the second bevel gear 52 constitute the clutch mechanism 5.

[0024] The screw rod 12112 can be rotatably connected with the fixed base 12113, so that the screw rod 12112 is in a rotating state on the base, but will not move axially, and is preferably axially fixed. At this time, the driving component 1212 is used to drive the screw rod 12112 to rotate, which can make the top rod 12111 move up and down, thereby making the top rod 12111 move up and down. The fixed base 12113 can serve as a hard support inside the pillow, which can support the shape of the entire pillow and serve as the foundation of the pillow. Among them, it is best that the top rod 12111 has a guide rod to limit the circumferential rotation of the top rod 12111, so as to prevent the top rod 12111 from rotating during the rotation of the screw rod 12112, causing the top rod 12111 to lose the lifting effect. Even if there is no guide rod, due to the structure of the pillow, the top rod 12111 will feel pressure, and at this time there is a certain circumferential rotation resistance, so that the top rod 12111 can still produce the lifting effect, that is, the gravity of the head and neck is used to keep the lifting stable, without the need for cooperation of other structures, which can simplify the structure.

[0025] The clutch mechanism 5 is formed by the cooperation of the first bevel gear 51 and the second bevel gear 52, and can cooperate with the second bevel gear 52 to form a clutch by raising and lowering the push rod 12111. The first bevel gear 51 and the second bevel gear 52 form a right-angle transmission. When the push rod 12111 rises to the point where the first bevel gear 51 and the second bevel gear 52 are engaged, the second bevel gear 52 is lifted and transmitted at the same time, so that the connecting piece 1221 provides a rotation effect during the rising process, so that the patient's head and neck can be lifted.

[0026] This solution has an obvious linkage effect and can rotate as the head and neck are lifted, with a better transition effect, reducing the discomfort to the head or neck caused by the horizontal movement of the connecting piece 1221 during the rotation process, and the effect is more obvious when combined with the rubber isolation layer.

[0027] In order to improve the supporting effect for the neck and head, one end of the connecting member 1221 corresponding to the roller 1222 is V-shaped. The V-shaped structure is used to support the neck, and the rollers 1222 are provided at both ends of the V-shaped structure.

[0028] The V-shaped structure can better support both sides of the head and neck, so that the head or neck can be lifted by rotating a single connecting piece 1221. Therefore, rotating any one of the connecting pieces 1221 on the two lifting rods 1211 can stably lift the head or neck, making it convenient to adjust the patient's head posture.

[0029] Preferably, the two connecting members 1221 can be arranged along the direction of the head and the neck to avoid mutual interference. At the same time, any one of the top rods 12111 can be raised or lowered to achieve the purpose of lifting the head or the neck.

[0030] Furthermore, one end of the V-shaped connecting piece 1221 can be swung to fit the neck. The swing of the end of the connecting piece 1221 can make the neck and head fit better and reduce discomfort. The V-shaped structure can be hinged to the connecting piece 1221 as a separate structure to achieve swing.

[0031] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
