Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of massage therapy devices, and in particular to a head massage therapy device for a patient in a prone position. Background Art

[0002] Clinically, a massage therapy device is usually a medical device that acts on human tissues through physical stimulation to relieve pain, improve blood circulation, relax muscles, and promote recovery.

[0003] For patients in the prone position, the patients lie on the bed in a prone posture. Usually, the patient's head will be in contact with the bed, specifically, the patient's forehead and chin will be in contact with the bed to support the patient's head. When the patient is in the prone position for a long time, the patient's forehead and chin are usually under pressure for a long time. The pressure on the forehead or chin will block the local capillaries, causing tissue ischemia and hypoxia, and then cause tissue necrosis, thereby crushing the patient's head; at the same time, when the patient is in the prone position, since the patient's face is usually facing downward, the compressed forehead and chin are not in an exposed state, and it is difficult for medical staff to use traditional massage therapy devices to act on the patient's forehead and chin, which makes traditional massage therapy devices usually difficult to apply to patients in the prone position, thereby increasing the difficulty of massaging the compressed part of the patient's head, which is not conducive to reducing the risk of crushing the compressed part of the patient's head.

[0004] Therefore, how to massage the compressed part of the head of a patient who is in a prone position and reduce the risk of compression injury of the compressed part of the patient's head is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a head massage therapy device for prone patients in view of the current difficulty in massaging the compressed part of the head of a patient in a prone position, so as to reduce the difficulty of massaging the compressed part of the head of a patient in a prone position and alleviate the risk of compression injury to the compressed part of the patient's head.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A head massage therapy device for a patient in a prone position, comprising a base and a plurality of massage components, wherein the massage components are arranged on the base, and the massage components are adapted to the forehead or chin of the patient and support the corresponding forehead or chin; The massage assembly comprises a support seat and a massage pad, the support seat is annular, the support seat comprises an upper part and a lower part, the distance between the upper part and the base is farther than the distance between the lower part and the base; The massage pad is in a sheet-like structure, the massage pad covers the upper part, the edge of the massage pad is connected to the outer side of the support seat, and the massage pad is elastic; The massage cushion is provided with an air supply component, and the air supply component is used to pull the massage cushion so that the massage cushion is pulled and deformed relative to the support seat in the direction along the central axis of the support seat, and the massage cushion has an initial state, and the deformation amount of the massage cushion in the initial state is the smallest; In the direction of the central axis of the support seat, the massage cushion has a distance h when being pulled from the initial state toward the direction close to the base, and the distance h>0. When the massage cushion is pulled from the initial state toward the direction close to the base and the pulling distance is ≤ the distance h, the air supply component blocks the gas from flowing to both sides of the massage cushion through the air supply component, and the surface area of ​​the massage cushion increases; When the massage cushion is pulled from the initial state toward the direction close to the base and the pulling distance is greater than the distance h, the gas supply component allows the gas to flow through the gas supply component on both sides of the massage cushion; When there is no external force, the massage pad can restore its deformation under the action of its own elasticity.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the cross-sectional shape of the support seat is circular.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in the direction along the central axis of the support seat, the length of the support seat is length a, the length of the upper portion is length b, and the length b ≤ distance h ≤ length a.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the edge area of ​​the massage cushion is connected to the lower part.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the air supply assembly is located in a middle area of ​​the massage cushion.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the thickness of the massage cushion gradually increases in a direction from a middle area of ​​the massage cushion to an edge area of ​​the massage cushion.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, on the upper part of the massage cushion, the roughness of the surface of the upper part of the massage cushion gradually decreases in a direction from the outer side of the massage cushion to the inner side of the massage cushion.

[0013] As the preferred technical solution of this application, The air supply assembly includes a cylinder and a column, the cylinder is connected to the massage cushion, the cylinder is sleeved outside the column, the cylinder can move along the central axial direction of the column, the cylinder is provided with a first matching portion, and the column is provided with a second matching portion; When the massage cushion is pulled from the initial state toward the direction close to the base and the pulling distance is less than or equal to the distance h, the first matching portion and the second matching portion are misaligned, so that the cylinder is blocked; When the massage cushion is pulled from the initial state toward the base and the pulling distance is greater than the distance h, the first matching portion matches with the second matching portion to make the cylinder body conductive, and the gas can flow through the cylinder body on both sides of the massage cushion.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the column is connected to the support seat via a first connecting member, so that the column is fixed relative to the support seat.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the cylinder is connected to a handle, and the handle is used for an operator to operate. The operator controls the handle to move the cylinder relative to the column along the central axis of the column; or, the cylinder is connected to a robotic arm, and the robotic arm drives the cylinder to move relative to the column along the central axis of the column.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the cylinder and the column are damped together.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the solution of the present application, by providing a massage cushion and an air supply component on the massage cushion, during the process of lying in the prone position, the patient's forehead and chin are supported by the corresponding massage components, and the medical staff can intermittently control the air supply component to make the air supply component pull the massage cushion to move and deform the massage cushion; On the one hand, when there is a gap between the pressure part on the patient's forehead or chin and the corresponding massage component, gas can flow in the gap, so that when the massage cushion is pulled from the initial state toward the direction close to the base and the pulling distance is less than or equal to the distance h, the air supply component can prevent the gas from flowing to the two sides of the massage cushion through the air supply component. In this process, the surface area of ​​the massage cushion increases, and the air storage space formed between the massage cushion and the pressure part of the patient's head will increase. On the basis of the gap between the massage cushion and the pressure part on the patient's head, the gas in the external environment will flow from the gap formed between the massage cushion and the patient's head into the air storage space, thereby accelerating the air circulation speed of the pressure part of the patient's head, thereby reducing the probability of ischemia and hypoxia of skin tissue and reducing the probability of tissue necrosis; On the other hand, although there is a gap between the pressure part on the patient's forehead or chin and the corresponding massage component, when the air supply component pulls the massage cushion at a faster speed, the size of the air storage space formed by it increases suddenly, which can easily form a negative pressure in the air storage space, thereby attracting the pressure part on the patient's head to move toward the air storage space, so that the pressure part on the patient's head is in closer contact with the massage cushion, which can improve the stability of the patient's head support; at the same time, as the massage cushion is continuously pulled by the air supply component, when the traction distance of the massage cushion from the initial state toward the direction close to the base is greater than the distance h, the air supply component allows the gas to flow through the air supply component on both sides of the massage cushion, so as to reduce The small air storage space attracts the compressed part of the patient's head to reduce the contact between the massage pad and the compressed part of the patient's head. In this way, during the whole process of the massage pad being pulled from the initial position to the pulling distance being greater than h, the relationship between the compressed part of the patient's head and the massage pad changes from a gap to close contact and then to a gap, so that the pressure on the compressed part of the patient's head is changing. In this way, the massage component can press the skin of the compressed part of the patient's head. Under the action of the pressing, the compressed part of the patient's head can be massaged, thereby further promoting blood circulation at the skin and further reducing the probability of ischemia and hypoxia of the supported skin tissue. On the other hand, the massage pad can restore its deformation without external force. In the process of gradually restoring its deformation, gas can be stored between the massage pad and the patient's head, so that the stored gas can escape from the gap formed between the patient's head and the massage pad, thereby strengthening the gas circulation in the compressed part of the forehead or chin, further reducing the probability of skin ischemia and hypoxia, and then reducing the probability of tissue necrosis, thereby reducing the risk of crushing the patient's head; 2. Furthermore, the thickness of the massage pad is gradually increased from the middle area of ​​the massage pad to the edge area of ​​the massage pad. The thicker the massage pad is, the greater the resistance it needs to overcome to deform. Therefore, in the process of pulling the massage pad to deform, the thicker the massage pad is, the smaller the deformation is. The thicker part of the massage pad is close to the support seat, and the thinner part of the massage pad is close to the air supply component. Since the part where the patient's head contacts the massage component corresponds to the support seat, the deformation of the massage pad at the support seat is small, which makes it easy for the massage pad to drive the forehead or chin to move slightly, thereby changing the massage pad. The position of the area on the forehead or chin supported by the massage pad and the support seat can prevent the forehead or chin from being displaced significantly, so as to ensure the stability of the forehead or chin being supported. In this way, it can further prevent a certain area on the forehead or chin from being compressed for a long time, thereby reducing the risk of crushing the patient's head; at the same time, under the traction of the air supply component, since the thickness of the part of the massage pad close to the air supply component is relatively thin, it is easy to form a larger air storage space between the massage pad and the compressed part of the patient's head, thereby further improving the air flow near the compressed skin and reducing the probability of skin tissue hypoxia; 3. By making the cylinder and the column have a damping fit, after the cylinder is moved relative to the column and the deformation of the massage pad is increased, the massage pad is gradually deformed by removing the external force. The damping fit between the cylinder and the column can slow down the relative movement speed between the cylinder and the column, thereby extending the time for the massage pad to recover its deformation. In the process of the massage pad gradually recovering its deformation, the stored gas has a longer time to escape from the contact area formed between the patient's head and the massage pad, thereby increasing the time that the flowing gas acts on the supported skin tissue, thereby further reducing the chance of skin tissue hypoxia.

[0024] Embodiment 1 This embodiment provides a head massage therapy device for a patient in a prone position, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base 1 and a plurality of massage components 2, wherein the massage components 2 are arranged on the base 1, and the massage components 2 are adapted to the forehead or chin of the patient, and the massage components 2 are used to support the forehead or chin of the patient; The massage assembly 2 includes a support seat 3 and a massage pad 4. The support seat 3 is annular and includes an upper portion 5 and a lower portion 6. The distance between the upper portion 5 and the base 1 is greater than the distance between the lower portion 6 and the base 1. The massage pad 4 is in a sheet-like structure, and the massage pad 4 covers the upper part 5. The edge area of ​​the massage pad 4 is connected to the outer side of the support seat 3, and the massage pad 4 is elastic. The massage cushion 4 is provided with an air supply component 7, and the air supply component 7 is used to pull the massage cushion 4, so that the massage cushion 4 is pulled and deformed relative to the support seat 3 along the central axis direction of the support seat 3, and the massage cushion 4 has an initial state, and the deformation amount of the massage cushion 4 in the initial state is the smallest; In the direction of the central axis of the support seat 3, the massage pad 4 has a distance h when being pulled from the initial state toward the direction close to the base 1, and the distance h>0. When the massage pad 4 is pulled from the initial state toward the direction close to the base 1 and the pulling distance is ≤ the distance h, the air supply component 7 blocks the gas from flowing through the air supply component 7 to the two sides of the massage pad 4, and the surface area of ​​the massage pad 4 increases. When the massage cushion 4 is pulled from the initial state toward the direction close to the base 1 and the pulling distance is greater than the distance h, the gas supply component 7 allows the gas to flow through the gas supply component 7 on both sides of the massage cushion 4; In the absence of external force, the massage pad 4 can restore its deformation under the action of its own elasticity. When the massage component 2 supports the patient's head, the massage pad 4 can restore its deformation while storing gas between the massage pad 4 and the patient's head, and the stored gas can escape from the gap formed between the patient's head and the massage pad 4.

[0025] In the present application, by providing a massage pad 4 and an air supply component 7 on the massage pad 4, when the patient is in a prone position, the patient's forehead and chin are supported by the corresponding massage component 2, and the medical staff can intermittently control the air supply component 7 to make the air supply component 7 pull the massage pad 4 to move and deform the massage pad 4; On the one hand, when there is a gap between the compressed part on the patient's forehead or chin and the corresponding massage component 2, gas can flow in the gap, so that when the massage pad 4 is pulled from the initial state toward the direction close to the base 1 and the pulling distance is less than or equal to the distance h, the air supply component 7 can prevent the gas from flowing to the two sides of the massage pad 4 through the air supply component 7. In this process, the surface area of ​​the massage pad 4 increases, and the air storage space formed between the massage pad 4 and the compressed part of the patient's head will increase. On the basis of the gap between the massage pad 4 and the compressed part on the patient's head, the gas in the external environment will flow from the gap formed between the massage pad 4 and the patient's head into the air storage space, thereby accelerating the air circulation speed of the compressed part of the patient's head, thereby reducing the probability of ischemia and hypoxia of skin tissue and reducing the probability of tissue necrosis; On the other hand, although there is a gap between the compressed part on the patient's forehead or chin and the corresponding massage component 2, when the air supply component 7 pulls the massage pad 4 at a faster speed, the size of the air storage space formed by it increases suddenly, which can easily form a negative pressure in the air storage space, thereby attracting the compressed part on the patient's head to move toward the air storage space, so that the compressed part on the patient's head is in closer contact with the massage pad 4, which can improve the stability of the patient's head support; at the same time, as the massage pad 4 is continuously pulled by the air supply component 7, when the traction distance of the massage pad 4 from the initial state toward the direction close to the base 1 is greater than the distance h, the air supply component 7 allows the gas to flow through the air supply component 7 on both sides of the massage pad 4, so that It is possible to reduce the attraction of the air storage space to the compressed part of the patient's head, so as to reduce the contact degree between the massage pad 4 and the compressed part of the patient's head. In this way, during the whole process of the massage pad 4 being pulled from the initial position to the pulling distance being greater than h, the relationship between the compressed part of the patient's head and the massage pad 4 changes from a gap to close contact and then to a gap, so that the pressure on the compressed part of the patient's head is changing. In this way, the massage component 2 can press the skin of the compressed part of the patient's head. Under the action of the pressing, the compressed part of the patient's head can be massaged, which in turn further promotes the blood circulation at the skin, and further reduces the probability of ischemia and hypoxia of the supported skin tissue. On the other hand, in the absence of external force, the massage pad 4 can restore its deformation. In the process of gradually restoring its deformation, gas can be stored between the massage pad 4 and the patient's head, so that the stored gas can escape from the gap formed between the patient's head and the massage pad 4, thereby strengthening the gas circulation in the compressed part of the forehead or chin, further reducing the probability of skin ischemia and hypoxia, and then reducing the probability of tissue necrosis, thereby reducing the risk of crushing the patient's head; In this way, it is convenient to massage the compressed part of the head of the patient who is in the prone position, and at the same time, it is convenient to reduce the risk of pressure injury of the compressed part of the patient's head.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, further, the cross-sectional shape of the support seat 3 is circular.

[0027] Furthermore, by setting the cross-sectional shape of the support base 3 to be circular, when the patient's head contacts the massage pad 4, the area on the massage pad 4 that contacts the massage pad 4 can be made arc-shaped, thereby preventing the area on the massage component 2 that contacts the patient's head from becoming prismatic, thereby further reducing damage to the patient in the process of supporting the patient's head.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the above method, further, in the direction along the central axis of the support seat 3, the length of the support seat 3 is length a, the length of the upper part 5 is length b, and the length b≤distance h≤length a.

[0029] Furthermore, the length b is smaller than or equal to the distance h, and the distance h is smaller than or equal to the length a, so that the air supply component can pull the massage pad 4 to deform, providing space for the movement of the air supply component 7 and the massage pad 4.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the above-mentioned manner, further, the edge area of ​​the massage pad 4 is connected to the lower part 6 .

[0031] Furthermore, the edge area of ​​the massage pad 4 is connected to the lower part 6. When the massage component 2 supports the patient's head, the air supply component 7 pulls the massage pad 4 to move and deform the massage pad 4, so that the massage pad 4 and the upper part 5 are in a non-connected state, so that the massage pad 4 can move relative to the upper part 5, and the massage pad 4 drives the forehead or chin to move slightly relative to the support seat 3 to change the position of the supported area on the patient's forehead or chin, thereby avoiding a certain area on the forehead or chin being in a compressed state for a long time, and reducing the risk of skin tissue being compressed. At the same time, in the process of the massage pad 4 driving the forehead or chin to move slightly relative to the support seat 3, because the massage pad 4 is pulled, the deformation of the massage pad 4 itself enables it to move relative to the forehead or chin, and then the massage pad 4 can massage the forehead or chin. In this way, the blood circulation at the forehead or chin can be further promoted, and the probability of ischemia and blood oxygenation of the skin tissue can be further reduced.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, further, the air supply component 7 is located in the middle area of ​​the massage pad 4.

[0033] Furthermore, the air supply component 7 is located in the middle area of ​​the massage pad 4. When the air supply component 7 pulls the massage pad 4 to move, the pulled area on the massage pad 4 is located in the middle area of ​​the massage pad 4. This can increase the deformation amount of the massage pad 4 when pulled, and make the deformation amounts on both sides of the massage pad 4 symmetrical about its central axis similar, thereby improving the fit between the patient's head and the massage component 2.

[0034] Embodiment 2 In the technical solution of embodiment 1, further see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the thickness of the massage cushion 4 gradually increases in a direction from the middle area of ​​the massage cushion 4 to the edge area of ​​the massage cushion 4 .

[0035] Furthermore, in the direction from the middle area of ​​the massage pad 4 to the edge area of ​​the massage pad 4, the thickness of the massage pad 4 is gradually increased. The thicker the part of the massage pad 4, the greater the resistance that needs to be overcome for its deformation. Therefore, in the process of pulling the massage pad 4 to deform it, the thicker the part of the massage pad 4, the smaller the deformation. The thicker part of the massage pad 4 is close to the support seat 3, and the thinner part of the massage pad 4 is close to the air supply component 7. Since the part where the patient's head contacts the massage component 2 corresponds to the support seat 3, the deformation of the massage pad 4 at the support seat 3 is small, which makes it easy for the massage pad 4 to drive the forehead or chin to move slightly. Thus, while changing the position of the area on the forehead or chin supported by the massage pad 4 and the support seat 3, the forehead or chin can be prevented from being displaced significantly to ensure the stability of the support of the forehead or chin. In this way, it can further prevent a certain area on the forehead or chin from being in a compressed state for a long time, thereby reducing the risk of crushing the patient's head. At the same time, under the traction of the air supply component 7, since the thickness of the part of the massage pad 4 close to the air supply component 7 is relatively thin, it is easy to form a larger air storage space between the massage pad 4 and the compressed part of the patient's head, thereby further improving the air flow near the compressed skin and reducing the chance of skin tissue hypoxia.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the above-mentioned method, further, on the upper part 5 of the massage pad 4, the surface roughness of the upper part 5 of the massage pad 4 gradually decreases in the direction from the outer side of the massage pad 4 to the inner side of the massage pad 4.

[0037] Furthermore, in the direction from the outer side of the massage pad 4 to the inner side of the massage pad 4, the roughness of the surface of the upper part of the massage pad 4 is gradually reduced, so that on the part of the massage pad 4 that contacts the upper part, in the direction gradually approaching the air supply component 7, the friction between the massage pad 4 and the upper part is gradually reduced. In this way, in the process of pulling the massage pad 4 to deform it, the deformation degree of the massage pad 4 near the support seat 3 is further reduced, which facilitates the massage pad 4 to drive the patient's forehead or chin to move slightly.

[0038] Embodiment 3 In terms of the technical solution of the second embodiment, further see Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the air supply assembly 7 includes a cylinder 8 and a column 9, the cylinder 8 is connected to the massage pad 4, the cylinder 8 is sleeved outside the column 9, the cylinder 8 can move along the central axial direction of the column 9, the cylinder 8 is provided with a first matching portion 10, and the column 9 is provided with a second matching portion 11; When the massage cushion 4 is pulled from the initial state toward the base 1 and the pulling distance is less than or equal to the distance h, the first matching portion 10 and the second matching portion 11 are misaligned, so that the cylinder 8 is blocked; When the massage cushion 4 is pulled from the initial state toward the base 1 and the pulling distance is greater than the distance h, the first matching portion 10 matches with the second matching portion 11 to make the cylinder 8 conductive, and the gas can flow through the cylinder 8 on both sides of the massage cushion 4.

[0039] Furthermore, by providing a cylinder 8 and a column 9, and providing a first matching portion 10 on the cylinder 8, and providing a second matching portion 11 on the column 9, the cylinder 8 is moved relative to the column 9 to change the position of the first matching portion 10 relative to the second matching portion 11, so that when the first matching portion 10 and the second matching portion 11 are misaligned, the cylinder 8 is in a blocked state, and it is difficult for gas to flow through the gas supply component 7 on both sides of the massage pad 4; when the first matching portion 10 and the second matching portion 11 are matched, the cylinder 8 is in a conductive state, and at this time, the gas can flow through the cylinder 8 on both sides of the massage pad 4. In this way, when the cylinder 8 pulls the massage pad 4, it is convenient to adjust the conductive and blocked conditions on both sides of the massage pad 4, and specifically, the first matching portion 10 and the second matching portion 11 can both be groove-shaped structures. When the first matching portion 10 and the second matching portion 11 are matched, the gas can flow through the first matching portion 10 and the second matching portion 11, so that the cylinder 8 is in a conductive state.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the above-mentioned manner, further, the column 9 is connected to the support seat 3 through a first connecting member 12 , so that the column 9 is fixed relative to the support seat 3 .

[0041] Furthermore, the first connecting member 12 connects the column 9 and the support seat 3 so that the column 9 is fixed relative to the support seat 3, which can improve the stability of the position of the column 9.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the above-mentioned method, further, the cylinder 8 is connected to a handle 13, and the handle 13 is used for the operator to operate. The operator controls the handle 13 to move the cylinder 8 relative to the column 9 along the central axis of the column 9; or, the cylinder 8 is connected to a robotic arm, and the robotic arm drives the cylinder 8 to move relative to the column 9 along the central axis of the column 9.

[0043] Furthermore, by providing a handle 13, it is convenient for an operator to manually control the cylinder 8, so that the cylinder 8 moves relative to the column 9, and then the cylinder 8 pulls the massage pad 4 to move, or, by connecting the mechanical arm to the cylinder 8, and then connecting the mechanical arm to the electric drive device, the electric drive device drives the mechanical arm to move, so that the mechanical arm drives the cylinder 8 to move, which can further save manpower. The specific structure of the electric drive device and the mechanical arm is the existing technology, so it will not be repeated here.

[0044] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the cylinder 8 and the column 9 are damping-fitted.

[0045] By making the cylinder 8 and the column 9 have a damping fit, after the cylinder 8 is moved relative to the column 9 and the deformation of the massage pad 4 is increased, the massage pad 4 is gradually deformed by withdrawing the external force. The damping fit between the cylinder 8 and the column 9 can slow down the relative movement speed between the cylinder 8 and the column 9, thereby extending the time for the massage pad 4 to recover its deformation. In the process of the massage pad 4 gradually recovering its deformation, the stored gas has a longer time to escape from the contact area formed between the patient's head and the massage pad 4, thereby increasing the time that the flowing gas acts on the supported skin tissue, thereby further reducing the chance of skin tissue hypoxia.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. Therefore, any modification or equivalent replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
