[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown A newborn head tilt prevention device includes a base 1, a headrest 2 and an anti-flat head pillow 3 on the top of the base 1. The anti-flat head pillow 3 has a concave structure and is located on the outside of the headrest 2. The headrest 2 is made of memory foam material, which has good resilience and can automatically conform to the shape of the newborn's head, providing even support. Symmetrically arranged airbags 11 are installed on the inner side of the anti-flat head pillow 3, and symmetrically arranged mounting cavities 10 are opened on the inner side of the anti-flat head pillow 3. The airbags 11 are installed inside the mounting cavities 10. Contact layers are installed on the outer walls of opposite sides of the anti-flat head pillow 3. 4. The contact layer 4 is made of breathable and soft cotton material, allowing direct contact with the newborn's skin and reducing skin irritation. Its good breathability also prevents the newborn's head from sweating due to overheating. The contact layer 4 is installed near the airbag 11. An air duct 12 is connected to the end of the airbag 11, and a pressure bulb 13 is connected to the end of the air duct 12. When the newborn's head is resting on the headrest 2 and their face is facing upwards, squeezing the two pressure bulbs 13, in conjunction with the two air ducts 12, inflates the two airbags 11. Pressure is applied to the two contact layers 4 so that they contact the sides of the newborn's head. The distance between the two contact layers 4 on the anti-flat head pillow 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the newborn's head circumference. Combined with the support of the head pillow 2 for the newborn's head, it helps to provide suitable support for newborns with different head circumferences. A concave mounting bracket 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, and the air duct 12 is installed on the mounting bracket 14. When the newborn is lying on his / her side in the crib with his / her head resting on the head pillow 2, squeezing one of the pressure balls 13, in conjunction with the one set of pressure balls 12, activates the air duct. An air duct 12 inflates one of the airbags 11, causing the airbag 11 to expand and press against one of the contact layers 4 until the contact layer 4 contacts the back of the newborn's head. Together with the provided headrest 2, this provides support for the newborn's head. An exhaust pipe 15 is installed on one side of the airbag 11 and is connected to the airbag 11. The exhaust pipe 15 extends to the outside of the anti-balanced pillow 3 and is equipped with a vent valve 16. When it is necessary to vent, the vent valve 16 is opened, and the gas in the airbag 11 can be discharged through the exhaust pipe 15.

[0016] In a specific embodiment, an anti-slip pad 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 1. The bottom surface of the anti-slip pad 5 is provided with raised anti-slip textures. When the device is placed on a carrier such as a crib, it can increase the friction with the placement surface and prevent the device from sliding during use. A first strap 6 and a second strap 7 are respectively installed on both sides of the base 1. The end of the first strap 6 is provided with a hook and loop fastener 8, and the end of the second strap 7 is provided with a hook and loop fastener 9. The hook and loop fastener 8 and the hook and loop fastener 9 are adapted to each other. Through the first strap 6 and the second strap 7, together with the adhesive effect of the hook and loop fastener 8 and the hook and loop fastener 9, the base 1 can be fixed on the carrier such as a crib to ensure the stability of the device.

[0017] The implementation principle of the neonatal head tilt prevention device in this embodiment is as follows: In specific use, the device is placed on a carrier such as a crib. The anti-slip pad 5 at the bottom of the base 1, with raised anti-slip textures on its bottom surface, increases friction with the placement surface, preventing the device from sliding during use. Then, the first and second straps 6 and 7, along with the adhesive surfaces 8 and 9 of the Velcro, fix the base 1 to the crib or other carrier, ensuring the stability of the device. When the newborn's head is resting on the headrest 2 with their face upward, squeezing the two pressure balls 13 in conjunction with the two air tubes 12 inflates the two air bladders 11. The inflated air bladders 11 apply pressure to the two contact layers 4, causing... The contact layer 4 contacts the side of the newborn's head. The distance between the two contact layers 4 installed on the anti-flat head pillow 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the newborn's head circumference. Together with the head pillow 2, it provides suitable support for newborns with different head circumferences. When the newborn is lying on his / her side in the crib with his / her head resting on the head pillow 2, squeezing one of the pressure balls 13 will inflate one of the air bladders 11 with one of the air ducts 12. The air bladder 11 will inflate and press one of the contact layers 4 until it contacts the back of the newborn's head. Together with the head pillow 2, it will provide support for the newborn's head. When it is necessary to vent, the vent valve 16 can be opened, and the gas in the air bladder 11 can be vented through the vent pipe 15.
