Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pillow technology, specifically a newborn prone breathing aid pillow. Background Technology

[0002] A breathing-assist pillow is a pillow specifically designed to improve sleep quality and help with smooth breathing. It is commonly used to alleviate problems such as snoring, sleep apnea, and difficulty breathing. Its main function is to promote airway patency and reduce pressure on the airway by providing proper support and adjusting sleeping posture, thereby helping users maintain stable breathing during sleep.

[0003] The breathing aid pillow includes the following:

[0004] Adjusting posture: Breathing support pillows are usually designed to adapt to specific head, neck, and shoulder postures, helping to keep the airway open and reduce snoring or sleep apnea caused by improper sleeping posture.

[0005] Support function: Its design provides proper support for the neck and head, reducing neck muscle relaxation, thereby preventing airway narrowing or obstruction and ensuring unobstructed breathing.

[0006] Comfort: Some breathing aid pillows also use highly elastic or memory foam materials to improve comfort while reducing pressure on the body and improving sleep quality.

[0007] In the field of neonatal care, especially for premature infants or infants with respiratory distress syndrome, prone ventilation is often used to improve oxygenation and promote lung development.

[0008] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 221845982 U discloses a breathing aid pillow, comprising a pillow body with a receiving space and an airbag assembly housed within the receiving space. The airbag assembly includes a device housing connected to one end of the pillow body along a first direction, and an airbag body connected to the device housing. The device housing includes an air pump connected to the airbag body, a pressure sensor disposed within the airbag body, and a controller connected to the air pump. The pressure sensor and the controller are electrically connected. The breathing aid pillow provided in this application aims to guide mothers in postpartum breathing exercises or assist in adjusting breathing during childbirth.

[0009] However, the above solution still has the following problems:

[0010] Traditional pillows have poor breathability and are made of dense material. When newborns lie face down, carbon dioxide can easily accumulate around their mouth and nose, and the warm, humid air they exhale cannot easily escape, increasing the risk of suffocation and the possibility of skin eczema.

[0011] Its function is limited to providing support and it cannot actively intervene. It lacks measures to alleviate muscle discomfort or poor blood circulation that newborns may experience due to prolonged posture.

[0012] The comfort adjustment is limited, and it cannot fine-tune the support height and firmness according to the newborn's body shape. It also lacks temperature regulation function, which can easily cause discomfort to the baby in a cold environment.

[0013] Without active ventilation, the air inside the pillow cannot circulate, making it easy for bacteria to grow. It also cannot actively remove the heat exhaled by the baby, thus failing to meet the needs of normal use.

[0014] Therefore, the present invention needs to design a newborn prone breathing aid pillow to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The purpose of this invention is to provide a breathing aid pillow for newborns in the prone position, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0016] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a neonatal prone breathing aid pillow, comprising a pillow body, and further comprising:

[0017] The pillowcase is located on top of the main body of the pillow. Airbags are installed on both sides of the pillowcase. The connection between the two airbags and the pillowcase forms a U-shaped structure to facilitate prone operation.

[0018] The pillowcase is located at the bottom of the pillow body;

[0019] The ventilation mechanism is located inside the pillow body;

[0020] In this design, the pillow core is located on one side of the ventilation mechanism. A sponge pad is installed on the top of the pillow core, and a connecting plate is installed below the sponge pad. Second massage blocks are fixedly connected to the four sides of the connecting plate at equal intervals. An air outlet groove is fixedly connected to one end of each second massage block. Air pumps are fixedly connected to the inside of the pillow core and on both sides of the connecting plate to work with the corresponding airbag pads. The output ends of the two air pumps are connected to delivery pipes extending into the airbag pads. A pillowcase is provided on the top of the pillow body, and airbag pads are installed on both sides of it. The pillowcase and the airbag pads on both sides together form a U-shaped structure.

[0021] Working principle: When a newborn is in a prone position, the raised airbags on both sides of their chest and abdomen support their face and mouth / nose, while the recessed massage pads provide support. This design ensures sufficient open space for the baby's mouth and nose, avoiding the suffocation risk that can occur with traditional soft pillows. An air pump is installed inside the pillow core, extending through a delivery pipe into the airbag. A control chip located in the battery activates the air pump based on a preset program or sensor feedback. The air pump inflates or deflates the airbag through the delivery pipe, changing its height and firmness accordingly. This allows the pillow to be finely adjusted to suit the different body shapes of newborns, or to slowly change the pressure points during the baby's sleep, preventing prolonged pressure on specific areas and helping to prevent pressure sores. The ventilation mechanism consists of a connecting plate, a ventilation fan, a temperature conduction rod, and a pressure relief pipe. The top of the temperature conduction rod connects to the bottom of the pillowcase, and the bottom connects to the mounting frame, allowing real-time heat transfer from the pillow surface to the vicinity of the ventilation fan. When the temperature or humidity around the baby's mouth and nose increases, the control chip activates the ventilation fan. The ventilation fan draws out warm, humid air from inside the pillow and around the baby's mouth and nose through the mounting frame and the ventilation channels that fit the bottom inner pad. At the same time, it introduces fresh outside air by opening the valve and pressure relief pipe, creating a micro-circulation airflow. This not only reduces the risk of carbon dioxide retention during the baby's breathing but also keeps the pillow surface dry.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ventilation mechanism includes a bonding connecting plate and a ventilation fan. The bonding connecting plates are installed on both sides of the pillow core. The top of each of the two bonding connecting plates is fixedly connected to a mounting frame. A ventilation fan is installed inside each of the two mounting frames. A temperature conduction rod is installed on the top of each of the two mounting frames. One end of the top of each of the two temperature conduction rods is connected to the bottom of the pillowcase on the pillow, which provides support and assists in ventilation.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second vibration motor is fixedly connected inside the pillow core and below the connecting plate. A vibration block is fixedly connected to the output end of the second vibration motor. A second heating block is installed inside the vibration block. The top of the vibration block is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate. The connecting plate is made of aluminum to accelerate the temperature conduction effect. When the second vibration motor operates, it drives the vibration block and the connecting plate to rotate, thereby tapping the sponge pad through multiple second massage blocks to achieve an auxiliary massage effect. The second heating block is used for auxiliary heating treatment, which improves the comfort effect during use.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first vibration motor is fixedly connected inside the pillow core and on both sides of the second vibration motor. Each first vibration motor is located on one side of the corresponding air pump. A vibration frame is fixedly connected to the output end of each of the two first vibration motors. A first massage block is installed inside each of the two vibration frames. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two vibration frames. A first massage block located at the bottom of the corresponding airbag is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two connecting shafts. The connecting shaft is made of aluminum to accelerate the temperature conduction effect. When the first vibration motors operate, they drive the vibration frames and connecting shafts to rotate, thereby tapping the airbag through the first massage blocks to achieve an auxiliary massage effect. The first massage blocks are used for auxiliary heating treatment, which improves the comfort during use.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the pillowcase under the pillow is fitted with a bottom-fitting inner pad for use with the pillow core, and the bottom-fitting inner pad has equidistantly distributed breathable grooves that are used in conjunction with the fitting connecting plate.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, side cushioning pads are installed on both sides of the pillow body, and sealing strips are installed between the side cushioning pads and the pillowcase. Massage pads are evenly distributed on the top of the pillowcase. Multiple massage pads improve comfort. The side cushioning pads and sealing strips are used to seal the connection between the pillowcase and the pillow body.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pressure relief pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the pillow body, and a valve is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressure relief pipe. The pressure relief pipe is used to periodically ventilate the inside of the pillow body, and the valve is used to control the opening and closing of the pressure relief pipe.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a storage battery is fixedly connected to the other side of the pillow body at equal intervals. The storage battery is equipped with a control chip. The storage battery, valve, air pump, ventilation fan, first vibration motor, first heating block, second vibration motor and second heating block are all electrically connected to the control chip. The control chip is used to control the operation of the storage battery, valve, air pump, ventilation fan, first vibration motor, first heating block, second vibration motor and second heating block, thereby realizing unified management of electrical equipment.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a ventilation pipe is installed on one side of the mounting frame, and side positioning blocks located on the top of the bonding connecting plate are fixedly connected to all four sides of the mounting frame. The side positioning blocks are provided with mounting grooves that penetrate the bonding connecting plate. Positioning pins extending to the inner wall of the pillowcase under the pillow can be provided inside the mounting grooves, thereby facilitating the quick installation of the ventilation mechanism.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pillow core has a first internal cavity for installation with an air pump, and the pillow body has a second internal cavity for installation with the pillow core and the bonding connecting plate. The pillow core and the bonding connecting plate are installed normally through the second internal cavity, and the air pump is installed normally through the first internal cavity.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0032] This invention features a pillow body, a pillow core, and a connecting plate. A U-shaped structure provides space for the mouth and nose, and combined with an active ventilation mechanism, it continuously expels carbon dioxide and moisture, significantly reducing the risk of suffocation for newborns in a prone position and keeping the pillow surface dry. It is the first newborn care pillow to incorporate vibration massage and heating functions. The aluminum heat-conducting structure combined with a heating element quickly transfers a suitable temperature, relieving muscle tension in infants while prone and simulating the warm touch of a mother's embrace, helping to soothe the infant. The independent inflation and deflation of the air bladders on both sides via an air pump allows for dynamic adjustment of the support height and clamping force according to the different body shapes and head circumferences of newborns, achieving personalized fit. All power-consuming components are centrally controlled by a built-in battery and control chip, avoiding safety hazards caused by messy external wiring and facilitating one-button operation by medical staff or parents. The ventilation mechanism is modularly installed using mounting slots and positioning pins, making it easy to disassemble and clean. The design of the pressure relief pipe and valves facilitates regular and thorough ventilation of the pillow, keeping it clean. The pillow core has a first internal cavity on both sides of the connecting plate. An air pump is fixedly installed in the first internal cavity. The output end of the air pump is sealed and connected to one end of a delivery pipe. The other end of the delivery pipe passes through the pillow core and the pillow body and extends into the air cushion for inflating the air cushion. Attached Figure Description

[0058] The embodiments provided in this application are embodiments of a method for analyzing the correlation between driving behavior factors and driving risks based on big data.

[0059] Please see Figures 1-10 The present invention provides a technical solution: a neonatal prone breathing aid pillow, comprising a pillow body 1, and further comprising:

[0060] The pillowcase 13 and massage pad 14 are located on the top of the pillow body 1. Airbag pads 15 are installed on both sides of the pillowcase 13. The connection between the two airbag pads 15 and the pillowcase 13 forms a U-shaped structure to facilitate prone operation.

[0061] Pillowcase 11 is located at the bottom of the main body of the pillow 1.

[0062] The ventilation mechanism is located inside the pillow body 1;

[0063] In this design, the pillow core 2 is located on one side of the ventilation mechanism. A sponge pad 24 is installed on the top of the pillow core 2, and a connecting plate 63 is installed below the sponge pad 24. Second massage blocks 64 are fixedly connected around the connecting plate 63 at equal intervals. An air outlet groove 65 is fixedly connected to one end of each second massage block 64. Air pumps 22 are fixedly connected inside the pillow core 2 and on both sides of the connecting plate 63 to work with the corresponding airbag pads 15. The output ends of the two air pumps 22 are connected to delivery pipes 23 that extend into the airbag pads 15. The pillow body 1 has a pillowcase 13 on the top, and airbag pads 15 are installed on both sides of it. The pillowcase 13 and the airbag pads 15 on both sides together form a U-shaped structure.

[0064] Working principle: When a newborn is in a prone position, the raised airbag cushion 15 supports the sides of the chest and abdomen, while the face and mouth and nose are supported by the recessed massage cushion 14. This design ensures that the baby's mouth and nose area has sufficient open space, avoiding the suffocation risk that may be caused by traditional soft pillows. An air pump 22 is installed inside the pillow core 2. The air pump 22 extends into the airbag cushion 15 through the delivery pipe 23. The control chip located in the battery 17 starts the air pump 22 according to the preset program or sensor feedback. The air pump 22 inflates or deflates the airbag cushion 15 through the delivery pipe 23, and the height and softness of the airbag cushion 15 change accordingly. This allows the pillow to be finely adjusted according to the different body shapes of newborns, or to slowly change the pressure points during the baby's sleep, avoiding prolonged local pressure and preventing pressure sores. The ventilation mechanism consists of a connecting plate 3, a ventilation fan 31, a temperature conduction rod 32, and a pressure relief pipe 18. The top of the temperature conduction rod 32 is connected to the bottom of the pillowcase 13 on the pillow, and the bottom is connected to the mounting frame 33. It can conduct the temperature of the pillow surface to the vicinity of the ventilation fan 31 in real time. When the temperature or humidity around the baby's mouth and nose increases, the control chip activates the ventilation fan 31. The ventilation fan 31 draws out the hot and humid air inside the pillow and around the baby's mouth and nose through the ventilation grooves in the mounting frame 33 and the bottom fitting inner pad 25, while simultaneously introducing fresh outside air by opening the valve 19 and the pressure relief pipe 18, forming a micro-circulation airflow. This not only reduces the risk of carbon dioxide retention during the baby's breathing but also keeps the pillow surface dry.

[0065] Please see Figures 1-10 In this solution, the ventilation mechanism includes a bonding connecting plate 3 and a ventilation fan 31. The bonding connecting plate 3 is installed on both sides of the pillow core 2. The top of the two bonding connecting plates 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 33. The ventilation fan 31 is installed inside the two mounting frames 33. The top of the two mounting frames 33 is installed with a temperature conduction rod 32. One end of the top of the two temperature conduction rods 32 is connected to the bottom of the pillowcase 13 on the pillow, which provides support and assists in ventilation.

[0066] In this design, a second vibration motor 6 is fixedly connected inside the pillow core 2 and below the connecting plate 63. A vibration block 61 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second vibration motor 6. A second heating block 62 is installed inside the vibration block 61. The top of the vibration block 61 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 63. The connecting plate 63 is made of aluminum to accelerate the temperature conduction effect. When the second vibration motor 6 operates, it drives the vibration block 61 and the connecting plate 63 to rotate, thereby tapping the sponge pad 24 through multiple second massage blocks 64 to achieve an auxiliary massage effect. The second heating block 62 is used for auxiliary heating treatment, which improves the comfort effect during use.

[0067] Please see Figures 1-10In this design, a first vibration motor 5 is fixedly connected inside the pillow core 2 and on both sides of the second vibration motor 6. The first vibration motor 5 is located on one side of the corresponding air pump 22. The output ends of the two first vibration motors 5 are fixedly connected to vibration frames. A first massage block 52 is installed inside the two vibration frames. A connecting shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the two vibration frames. A first massage block 52 located at the bottom of the corresponding airbag pad 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the two connecting shafts 51. The connecting shaft 51 is made of aluminum to accelerate the temperature conduction effect. When the first vibration motor 5 operates, it drives the vibration frame and the connecting shaft 51 to rotate, thereby tapping the airbag pad 15 through the first massage block 52 to achieve an auxiliary massage effect. The first massage block 52 is used for auxiliary heating treatment, which improves the comfort effect during use.

[0068] In this design, the top of the pillowcase 11 under the pillow is fitted with a bottom-fitting inner pad 25 for use with the pillow core 2. The bottom-fitting inner pad 25 has equally spaced ventilation grooves that are used in conjunction with the fitting connecting plate 3.

[0069] Please see Figures 1-10 In this design, side cushioning pads 12 are installed on both sides of the pillow body 1. Sealing strips 16 are installed between the side cushioning pads 12 and the pillowcase 13. Massage pads 14 are evenly distributed on the top of the pillowcase 13. Multiple massage pads 14 improve comfort. The side cushioning pads 12 and sealing strips 16 are used to seal the connection between the pillowcase 13 and the pillow body 1.

[0070] In this design, a pressure relief pipe 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the pillow body 1, and a valve 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressure relief pipe 18. The pressure relief pipe 18 is used to periodically ventilate the inside of the pillow body 1, and the valve 19 is used to control the opening and closing of the pressure relief pipe 18.

[0071] In this design, the other side of the pillow body 1 is fixedly connected to equidistantly distributed storage batteries 17. The storage batteries 17 are equipped with a control chip.

[0072] Please see Figures 1-10In this solution, a ventilation pipe 36 is installed on one side of the mounting frame 33. Side positioning blocks 34 located on the top of the bonding connecting plate 3 are fixedly connected around the mounting frame 33. The side positioning blocks 34 are all provided with mounting grooves 35 that penetrate the bonding connecting plate 3. Positioning pins extending to the inner wall of the pillowcase 11 under the pillow can be set inside the mounting grooves 35, so as to facilitate the quick installation of the ventilation mechanism.

[0073] In this design, the pillow core 2 has a first internal cavity 21 for installation with the air pump 22, and the pillow body 1 has a second internal cavity 4 for installation with the pillow core 2 and the bonding connecting plate 3. The pillow core 2 and the bonding connecting plate 3 are installed normally through the second internal cavity 4, and the air pump 22 is installed normally through the first internal cavity 21.

[0074] Please see Figures 1-10 The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0075] The pillow consists of a main body 1, a pillow core 2, and a bonding connecting plate 3. When in use:

[0076] 1. Basic structure and body position fixation principle

[0077] U-shaped support: The top of the pillow body 1 is provided with a pillowcase 13 and a massage pad 14, and air cushions 15 are installed on both sides. The pillowcase 13 and the air cushions 15 on both sides together form a U-shaped structure.

[0078] Working principle: When a newborn is in a prone position, the raised airbags 15 support the sides of the chest and abdomen, while the face and mouth and nose are supported by multiple massage pads 14 in the recessed areas. This design ensures that the baby's mouth and nose area has enough open space, avoiding the suffocation risk that may be caused by traditional soft pillows.

[0079] 2. Principle of dynamic airbag adjustment

[0080] Power source: An air pump 22 is installed inside the pillow core 2, and the air pump 22 extends into the airbag pad 15 through the delivery pipe 23.

[0081] Workflow:

[0082] The control chip located in the battery 17 starts the air pump 22 according to the preset program or sensor feedback. The air pump 22 inflates or deflates the airbag cushion 15 through the delivery pipe 23.

[0083] Effect: The height and firmness of the air cushion 15 change accordingly. This allows the pillow to be finely adjusted to suit the different body shapes of newborns, or to slowly change the pressure points during the baby's sleep, avoiding prolonged pressure on certain areas and helping to prevent pressure sores.

[0084] 3. Ventilation and Temperature Control Principles

[0085] The ventilation mechanism consists of a bonding connecting plate 3, a ventilation fan 31, a temperature conduction rod 32, and a pressure relief pipe 18.

[0086] Workflow:

[0087] Temperature sensing trigger: The top of the temperature conduction rod 32 is connected to the bottom of the pillowcase 13 on the pillow, and the bottom is connected to the mounting frame 33, which can conduct the pillow surface temperature to the vicinity of the ventilation fan 31 in real time.

[0088] Air circulation: When the temperature or humidity around the baby's mouth and nose rises, the control chip activates the ventilation fan 31. The ventilation fan 31 draws out the hot and humid air from inside the pillow and around the baby's mouth and nose through the ventilation grooves in the mounting frame 33 and the bottom inner pad 25.

[0089] Pressure relief and fresh air intake: Simultaneously, by opening valve 19 and pressure relief pipe 18, fresh external air is introduced, creating a micro-circulation airflow. This not only reduces the risk of carbon dioxide retention during infant breathing but also keeps the pillow surface dry.

[0090] 4. Compound vibration massage principle

[0091] This pillow is equipped with two independent vibration massage systems, each targeting different areas:

[0092] Application to air cushion (shoulder and neck):

[0093] Actuating components: first vibration motor 5, connecting shaft 51, first massage block 52.

[0094] Process: The first vibration motor 5 operates, driving the vibration frame and connecting shaft 51 to rotate. Since the connecting shaft 51 is made of aluminum (good thermal conductivity), the first massage block 52 at the top will rhythmically tap and vibrate the bottom of the airbag cushion 15. This vibration will be transmitted through the airbag to the baby's side, helping to relax the muscles.

[0095] Acting on the inner pad of the sponge (chest and abdomen):

[0096] Actuating components: second vibration motor 6, vibration block 61, connecting plate 63, second massage block 64.

[0097] Process: The second vibration motor 6 operates, driving the vibration block 61 and the connecting plate 63 to rotate. The second massage blocks 64 around the connecting plate 63 rotate accordingly, tapping the sponge pad 24 on top. This vibration is gently transmitted to the baby's chest and abdomen, helping to relieve abdominal discomfort or bloating caused by the prone position.

[0098] 5. Auxiliary heating principle

[0099] Heating source: a first heating block 53 located within the first massage block 52 and a second heating block 62 located within the vibration block 61.

[0100] Conduction path:

[0101] The heat from the first heating block 53 is transferred to the first massage block 52 and the warm airbag cushion 15 via the aluminum connecting shaft 51.

[0102] The heat from the second heating block 62 is transferred to the second massage block 64 and the warm sponge inner pad 24 via the aluminum connecting plate 63.

[0103] Function: In low-temperature environments, the heating function can raise the temperature of the pillow surface, preventing the baby's abdomen from getting cold and improving comfort.

[0104] 6. Power and Control Logic

[0105] Core control: The battery 17 has a control chip inside, which is electrically connected to the valve 19, air pump 22, ventilation fan 31, first vibration motor 5, first heating block 53, second vibration motor 6, and second heating block 62.

[0106] Unified management: The control chip is responsible for coordinating the operation of all electronic components, for example:

[0107] You can set an intermittent mode: the airbag adjustment is activated every 30 minutes, and the vibration massage is activated every 15 minutes.

[0108] A linkage mode can be set: when the ventilation fan detects that the temperature is too high, the heating block power will be automatically reduced; when the vibration massage is started, the ventilation fan will be automatically turned on to maintain air circulation.

[0109] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: By reserving space for the mouth and nose through a concave structure, combined with an active ventilation mechanism, carbon dioxide and moisture are continuously expelled, greatly reducing the risk of suffocation for newborns in a prone position and keeping the pillow surface dry. It is the first to introduce vibration massage and heating functions into a newborn care pillow. The aluminum heat-conducting structure combined with a heating block can quickly transfer a suitable temperature, relieving muscle tension in infants when prone and simulating a warm, comforting touch similar to a mother's embrace, helping to soothe the infant. The independent inflation and deflation of the airbags 15 on both sides via the air pump 22 allows for dynamic adjustment of the support height and clamping force according to the different body shapes and head circumferences of newborns, achieving personalized fit. All power-consuming components are centrally controlled by a built-in battery and control chip, avoiding safety hazards caused by messy external wiring and facilitating one-button operation by medical staff or parents. The ventilation mechanism is modularly installed through the mounting groove 35 and positioning pins, facilitating disassembly and cleaning. The design of the pressure relief pipe 18 and valve 19 facilitates regular and thorough ventilation of the pillow, keeping the interior clean.

[0110] The pillow core 2 has a first internal cavity 21 on both sides of the connecting plate 63. An air pump 22 is fixedly installed in the first internal cavity 21. The output end of the air pump 22 is sealed and connected to one end of the delivery pipe 23. The other end of the delivery pipe 23 passes through the pillow core 2 and the pillow body 1 and extends into the interior of the air cushion 15 for inflating the air cushion 15.

[0111] Both the first vibration motor 5 and the second vibration motor 6 are low-frequency micro-amplitude vibration motors, with their vibration frequency controlled between 20-60Hz and their amplitude less than 2mm, to ensure a gentle touch rather than violent vibration for newborns. Both the first heating block 53 and the second heating block 62 are equipped with temperature controllers (integrated into the control chip) to strictly limit the heating temperature between 28℃ and 32℃ (close to human body surface temperature) to prevent low-temperature burns.
