Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a cervical vertebra support pillow. Background Art

[0002] For patients with acute cervical spine injury or cervical spine surgery, they lie flat without pillows after surgery, with the neck in a neutral position and salt bags placed on both sides of the head. There is currently no unified specification for salt bags in clinical practice, and most of them are made by the patients' families themselves. The sizes and materials vary, and there is no standard. Special techniques are required to bandage the bags. The patients still use normal pillows, and their necks are suspended in the air, which is not conducive to the rapid recovery of the neck. The materials are not comfortable and breathable, and it is easy to cause pressure injuries to the auricle when placed on both sides of the head. Another way is for the bedside attendant to stare at the patient at the bedside at any time to remind the patient to pay attention to the head and neck posture. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult to fix the patient's head and neck.

[0003] Currently, there is no dedicated postoperative cervical support pillow. Medical staff can only use the original pillow pad behind the patient's neck to provide support for the cervical spine. This type of neck support is difficult to adjust the height and is difficult to meet the needs of patients with different body shapes. At the same time, the existing pillow pads are easy to cause pressure sores on the patient's neck when used. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a cervical vertebra support pillow to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a cervical support pillow, comprising a headrest body and a support assembly arranged on one side of the headrest body, a first groove is provided at the center of the upper surface of the headrest body, and auxiliary support blocks are fixedly provided on both sides of the groove, the support assembly comprises a base and a movable support block arranged on the upper surface of the base, one side of the base is fixedly connected to the side surface of the headrest body, a second groove is installed on the lower surface of the base, the top of the base is connected to the movable support block through an adjustment mechanism, the adjustment mechanism comprises a connecting plate and a screw, the connecting plate is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the movable support block, the upper end of the screw is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, the lower end of the screw extends into the second groove and is threadedly connected to the base.

[0006] Preferably, the movable support block is provided with fixing rods on both sides of the connecting plate, and the fixing rods pass through the through holes of the base and extend into the second groove.

[0007] Preferably, an auxiliary component is also included, which includes a miniature silent air pump arranged inside the headrest body, an air inlet pipe and an exhaust pipe arranged on both sides of the auxiliary support block, and a plurality of strip air bags arranged on the upper surface of the auxiliary support block, one end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the air outlet end of the miniature silent air pump, one end of a plurality of the strip air bags are connected to the air inlet pipe, and the other end of the strip air bags is connected to the exhaust pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the auxiliary component also includes a controller and a battery arranged inside the headrest body, and a solenoid valve arranged at one end of the strip airbag close to the exhaust pipe, and the controller is connected to the miniature silent air pump, the battery and the solenoid valve through wires.

[0009] Preferably, a third groove is formed on opposite sides of the two auxiliary support blocks.

[0010] Preferably, the upper surfaces of the headrest body, the auxiliary support block and the movable support block are all provided with sponge pads.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] 1. By arranging a support assembly on one side of the headrest body, and connecting the movable support block of the support assembly with the base through an adjustment mechanism, the height of the entire movable support block can be adjusted by rotating the screw of the adjustment mechanism during use, so as to meet the needs of different patients;

[0013] 2. By setting up an auxiliary component, multiple strip airbags of the auxiliary component are set on the upper surface of the movable support block, and the two ends of the strip airbag are respectively connected to the air inlet pipe and the exhaust pipe. At the same time, a solenoid valve is set at the connection between the strip airbag and the exhaust pipe. During use, different solenoid valves are controlled by a controller to make the corresponding strip airbag expand or contract. When the strip airbag contracts, the support for the patient's neck is eliminated, avoiding long-term support for the same part of the patient, and effectively avoiding the formation of pressure sores.
