Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of soothing machine technology, specifically a newborn soothing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Newborns cry loudly from birth and will cry intermittently afterward. Crying is actually a way for babies to express themselves. They cry when they are cold, hot, hungry, or have a wet diaper. Once you find the reason and make the baby comfortable, the baby will stop crying.

[0003] Currently, newborn soothing mainly relies on parents. The main soothing postures include swaddling, reverse breastfeeding, the football hug, and the side-lying position. Swaddling mainly simulates the enveloping feeling created by the mother's womb, increasing the baby's safety and soothing the newborn. Reverse breastfeeding, the football hug, and the side-lying position, by using the side-lying and prone positions, can avoid the Moro reflex and activate the calming reflex, thereby soothing the newborn.

[0004] While the aforementioned soothing methods are effective, they require prolonged parental supervision. To address this issue, parents place newborns in cribs (soothing cribs) to soothe them. Existing cribs, although powered by a motor to rock them and increase newborn comfort, rely solely on the crib's own collapse or additional support around the baby for swaddling. This insufficient swaddling reduces newborn comfort, causing them to cry after a period of time while lying on their back. Therefore, we propose a newborn soothing machine. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution: a newborn soothing machine, including a support 1, and a soothing bag 3 at the front end of the support 1;

[0031] Drive component 2, located at the top of support 1, can suspend comfort bag 3 to simulate the swaying state of the uterus and make it rock up, down and left and right.

[0032] The inflation component 5 is located inside the comfort bag 3 and can adjust the wrapping effect of the comfort bag 3 on the newborn according to the frequency of the newborn's movements inside the comfort bag 3.

[0033] The comfort bag 3 includes a cavity 34, which is located inside the comfort bag 3. A support plate 30 is fixedly connected to the annular inner surface of the comfort bag 3. A prone pillow 31, which is made of an air bladder, is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 30. A drawstring 4 is fixedly connected to the outer front surface of the comfort bag 3. A Velcro fastener is fixedly connected to the annular inner surface of the comfort bag 3. The comfort bag 3 is similar to a kangaroo's pouch. When placing the baby inside, it increases the baby's swaddling effect to simulate the womb. When placing the baby in the comfort bag 3, the comfort bag 3 is first inflated appropriately by the inflation component 5. The inflation should not cause obvious indentation when in contact with the baby. The baby's face is facing the prone pillow 31 and the buttocks are facing away from the opening of the comfort bag 3. After placing the baby in the comfort bag 3, the Velcro fastener is fastened, and then the drawstring 4 is tightened. At this time, the baby's head rests on the surface of the prone pillow 31 and protrudes from the comfort bag 3, with the face turned to the side that is easy for the parent to observe.

[0034] Drive assembly 2 includes a motor 20, which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rear end of bracket 1 near the top. A turntable 21 is fixedly connected to the front end of the output shaft of motor 20. A through slot is provided in the middle of the turntable 21, which is divided into a front plate 28 and a rear plate 29 by the through slot. The front plate 28 and the rear plate 29 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 25. A bearing 27 is fixedly connected to the annular outer surface of the connecting rod 25. A ring sleeve 26 is fixedly connected to the annular outer surface of the bearing 27. A traction rope 24 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the ring sleeve 26. The end of the traction rope 24 away from the ring sleeve 26 is fixedly connected to the comfort bag 3. When the baby is placed in the comfort bag 3, the motor 20 is started, which drives the turntable 21 to rotate. At this time, the connecting rod 25 rotates synchronously with the front plate 28 and the rear plate 29. The traction rope 24 is fixedly connected to the ring 26. While the connecting rod 25 rotates, the bearing 27 in the middle plays a lubricating role, so that the traction rope 24 is not wound up when the turntable 21 moves, thus maintaining a consistent length. The rotation of the turntable 21 drives the connecting rod to move in the up, down and left and right directions. The traction rope 24 drives the comfort bag 3 to move, simulating the state of uterine movement, thereby increasing the baby's comfort. At the same time, the structure is simple and the effect is excellent.

[0035] The front end of the front disc 28 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 22. The end of the transmission rod 22 away from the motor 20 is provided with a second set of turntables 21. The outer surface of the second set of turntables 21 is connected to the second traction rope 23. The two sets of turntables 21 have the same structure. The two sets of turntables 21 are used to rotate the first traction rope 24 and the second traction rope 23 synchronously, which increases the stability of the comfort bag 3.

[0036] The length of the second traction rope 23 is less than the length of the first traction rope 24. The end of the second traction rope 23 is fixedly connected to the front end of the comfort bag 3, and the end of the first traction rope 24 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the comfort bag 3. By changing the lengths of the first traction rope 24 and the second traction rope 23, the comfort bag 3 can have a certain tilt angle. When the baby spits up or vomits, the baby can quickly slide down according to the tilt angle to avoid suffocation.

[0037] The inflation component 5 includes an air pump 50, which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bracket 1. The front end of the air pump 50 is fixedly connected to an air supply pipe 51, which is inserted into the comfort bag 3 and contacts the cavity 34. An air supply port 33 is opened at the lower end of the inner surface of the annular inner surface of the comfort bag 3. An air receiving port 32 is opened at the corresponding position of the support plate 30 and the air supply port 33. The air receiving port 32 is connected to the air supply port 33 and the cavity 34. An air replenishment component 6 is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the support plate 30 near the front end. Before use, the user needs to turn on the air pump 50 and supply air to the comfort bag 3 and the prone pillow 31 through the air supply pipe 51 to increase the deformation of the comfort bag 3 and thus improve the wrapping effect.

[0038] The air replenishment component 6 includes a sleeve 60, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 30. The sleeve 60 penetrates the support plate 30 and communicates with the prone pillow 31. The upper end face of the sleeve 60 is designed as an open-end, and a groove 63 is formed on the annular inner surface of the sleeve 60. A slider 64 is slidably connected inside the groove 63. A resistance plate 61 is fixedly connected to the end of the slider 64 away from the groove 63. A spring 62 is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the resistance plate 61. The lower outer surface of the spring 62 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner surface of the sleeve 60. A one-way valve 71 is provided on the lower outer surface, and a switch 66 is fixedly connected to the annular inner surface of the sleeve 60. When an infant wakes up due to discomfort, they often cry and kick their legs. When the force of the kicking acts on the inner wall of the comfort bag 3, the gas injected into the cavity 34 inside the comfort bag 3 absorbs the force. At the same time, the air pressure inside the cavity 34 increases, and the gas impacts the resistance plate 61, causing the resistance plate 61 to move towards the one-way valve 71. The resistance plate 61 moves along the one-way valve 71 of the sleeve 60 and moves the one-way valve 71. Air between the resistance plate 61 and the one-way valve 71 is discharged from the inside of the valve. The one-way valve 71 only discharges and does not allow air to enter. The resistance plate 61 and the sleeve 60 need to be sealed because the air between the one-way valve 71 and the resistance plate 61 is discharged by the one-way valve 71. The resistance plate 61 is compressed against the spring 62. Due to the baby's continuous kicking, the air pressure inside the cavity 34 will fluctuate. The air between the resistance plate 61 and the one-way valve 71 is discharged by squeezing, and the air pressure is used to limit the return of the resistance plate 61. As the kicking continues, the resistance... Plate 61 continues to move toward one-way valve 71 until it contacts switch 66 and triggers switch 66. Switch 66 simultaneously controls air pump 50 and motor 20, forcing motor 20 and air pump 50 to start. Motor 20 drives turntable 21 to rotate, causing the comfort bag 3 to enter a shaking state. Air pump 50 inflates the comfort bag 3 and prone pillow 31 by itself, increasing the expansion force, making the contact area between the comfort bag 3 and the baby larger, and improving the wrapping effect. The single trigger time of motor 20 and air pump 50 is fixed, thirty seconds for air pump 50 and five minutes for motor 20.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] In this second embodiment, other structures remain unchanged. The air replenishment component 6 further includes a sliding groove 67, through which a movable tube 65 slides. Both ends of the movable tube 65 are open, and a through groove is formed on the annular outer surface of the movable tube 65. The gas passage inside the movable tube 65 is designed in a cross shape. A single-way valve 71 is fixedly connected to the interior of the movable tube 65 near its lower end. An electromagnetic ring 70 is fixedly connected to the annular outer surface of the movable tube 65. A spring plate 68 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the electromagnetic ring 70. The upper end of the spring plate 68 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sleeve 60. When the comfort bag 3 is used, the electromagnetic ring 70 is energized and generates a magnetic force with the sleeve 60. The electromagnetic ring 70 compresses the spring plate 68 and drives the movable tube 65. The moving tube 65 moves toward the resistance plate 61. At this time, the through groove 69 is located on the inner wall of the sliding groove 67 and is in a closed state. The only ventilation path is the opening at the upper end of the moving tube 65 and the one-way valve 71 at the lower end. When the user turns off the power without using the comfort bag 3, the electromagnetic ring 70 loses power and is pushed by the elastic force generated by the spring plate 68 to slide the moving tube 65 down along the sliding groove 67 until the through groove 69 is disengaged from the sliding groove 67. At this time, the ventilation path inside the moving tube 65 becomes a cross path formed by the opening at the upper end of the moving tube 65, the one-way valve 71 at the lower end, and the through grooves 69 on both sides. The state of the resistance plate 61 being restricted by air pressure is released, and the spring 62 pushes the resistance plate 61 to move upward and reset to the initial state.
