[0051] The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention by means of specific embodiments. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.
[0052] See also Figures 1 to 7 It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings in this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of the utility model, so they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportion relationship, or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the utility model without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the utility model. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of the utility model. The change or adjustment of their relative relationship should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of the utility model without substantially changing the technical content.
[0053] like Figure 1-3As shown, the utility model provides a cough assisting pillow for patients after abdominal surgery, which at least includes: a main body 1 and a back patting component 2. Among them, the main body 1 is made of latex, which has good elasticity and adaptability, can adjust its own shape according to the patient's body shape and posture, and provide a better support effect. It includes: an arm clamping part 13, and the cross-section of the arm clamping part 13 is U-shaped. A chest pillow pad 11 is provided at one end of the arm clamping part 13, and a back pillow pad 12 is provided at the other end. When the patient's back fits with the back pillow pad 12, the chest pillow pad 11 fits with the patient's chest and abdomen. When in use, the patient clamps the arm clamping part 13 under the armpit with his arm. At this time, the chest pillow pad 11 and the back pillow pad 12 fit with the patient's chest, abdomen and back respectively. When the patient coughs, he only needs to hold the main body 1 at the corresponding position of the surgical incision to relieve the pain caused by pulling the wound at the surgical incision. Furthermore, the back pillow 12 can cover the patient's lungs. A placement slot 121 is provided in the back pillow 12. A back slapping assembly 2 is provided in the placement slot 121. The back slapping assembly 2 is used to slap the patient's back lungs. The sputum attached to the lungs and bronchi falls off through slapping vibration, and the sputum is easier to discharge through coughing. It should be noted that in this solution, the patient can use the postoperative cough auxiliary pillow upside down to cover wounds in different positions, and after flipping, the back slapping assembly 2 can still cover the lung on the opposite side of the incision.
[0054] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the back-slapping assembly 2 comprises a housing 21, a fixed support 25, a flapping member 23, a spring 24 and a driving motor 22. The housing 21 is in the shape of a tube with an opening at the bottom, and the fixed support 25 is horizontally arranged in the housing 21, and a movable hole 251 penetrating the fixed support 25 is arranged on the fixed support 25. The flapping member 23 is located below the fixed support 25, and a spring 24 is arranged between the two. A rack rod 235 is arranged on the top of the flapping member 23, and one end of the rack rod 235 passes through the movable hole 251. A driving motor 22 is arranged above the fixed support 25, and the driving motor 22 is connected to a half gear 221, and the half gear 221 matches the rack rod 235, and the rack rod 235 can be driven to move upward by rotating the half gear 221.
[0055] In this solution, the half gear 221 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 22, thereby driving the rack bar 235 to move upward, and the slapping member 23 connected to the rack bar 235 moves upward, thereby compressing the spring. When the half gear 221 rotates to the toothless side, the compressed spring quickly recovers, driving the slapping member 23 to move downward. During use, the slapping member 23 moving downward slaps on the patient's back, and the slapping expectoration effect can be achieved by cooperating with the patient to cough. It is worth noting that in this solution, the patient can also slap alone in a non-coughing state, and the sputum attached to the lungs and bronchi is made to fall off by slapping vibration, so that the patient's coughing frequency is reduced.
[0056] like Figure 7As shown, the traditional method of slapping the back to cough up phlegm is to bend the fingers, slap the back of the hand in a hollow shape from bottom to top. The slapping member 23 in this solution adopts a similar design. Specifically, the slapping member 23 includes: a slapping body 231, the slapping body 231 is cylindrical, and a semicircular opening is provided at the bottom. This method is similar to slapping the back with a hollow palm. The hollow design can produce a certain vibration, which can promote the loosening of sputum accumulated in the lungs and help the discharge of sputum. Direct solid slapping on the back may cause damage to the lungs and affect the normal function of the lungs. A circle of the top side wall of the slapping body 231 is provided with a limiting ring 232 with a diameter greater than the inner diameter of the shell 21, and the inner wall of the shell 21 is provided with a limiting groove 211 matched with the limiting ring 232. The limiting ring 232 can move up and down in the limiting groove 211 to ensure that the slapping member 23 always remains stable when moving up and down, and prevent the slapping member 23 from deflecting or shaking during the slapping process. A plurality of spring fixing seats 234 are provided at the top of the limiting ring, and a spring 24 is provided in each spring fixing seat 234. A ring-shaped edge portion 233 is provided on the bottom side wall of the flapping body 231 to increase the contact area between the flapping member 23 and the patient's back and reduce the impact force during flapping. Furthermore, air holes 26 are provided on the limiting ring 232, the fixing support 25 and the housing 21. The air holes 26 make the air flow in the back flapping assembly 2 smoother and reduce the air resistance of the flapping member 23.
[0057] In one embodiment, there are multiple placement slots 121, all of which are evenly distributed on the housing, and each placement slot 121 is provided with a back slapping assembly 2. When in use, the back slapping assembly 2 can be controlled to slap from bottom to top in sequence. In this way, the manual slapping method is simulated, making the slapping process more efficient.
[0058] In one embodiment, a control assembly 3 is provided on the body 1 , which includes: a switch 31 and a battery 32 , the battery 32 is used to supply power to the drive motor 22 , and the switch 31 is used to control the operating state of the drive motor 22 .
[0059] In one embodiment, the postoperative cough assisting pillow further comprises: a fixing belt 4, which is made of elastic material, and the two ends of the fixing belt 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the body 1. The postoperative cough assisting pillow can be closely attached to the patient through the fixing belt 4.
[0060] In summary, the utility model effectively overcomes various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.
[0061] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
