[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Refer to Figures 1 - 3, an embodiment provided by the present utility model: an adjustable medical pillow for critically ill patients, comprising a medical pillow body 1, a filler 2 is arranged inside the medical pillow body 1, a fixing sleeve 3 is arranged inside the medical pillow body 1, a main airbag 4 is arranged inside the fixing sleeve 3, a side airbag 5 is arranged outside the main airbag 4, there are two groups of side airbags 5, and the side airbags 5 are symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the medical pillow body 1 as the axis of symmetry. The two ends of the three-way pipe far from the transmission pipe 9 respectively penetrate into the two groups of side airbags 5. A long strip airbag 6 is arranged outside the side airbag 5. Through holes 7 are formed on the surface of the fixing sleeve 3. The inner wall of the through hole 7 is provided with a main air pipe 8. Solenoid valves 10 are arranged on the surface of the main air pipe 8. There are several groups of solenoid valves 10, and several groups of solenoid valves 10 are respectively distributed on both sides of the main air pipe 8, the transmission pipe 9 and the three-way pipe for controlling the air flow direction. The inner wall of the main airbag 4 is connected with a transmission pipe 9. The inner surface of the transmission pipe 9 is fixedly connected with a side airbag 5 through a three-way pipe. The main air pipe 8, the transmission pipe 9 and the three-way pipe are communicated. One end of the main air pipe 8 far from the long strip airbag 6 is threadedly connected with a pipe on the air inlet end of a double-headed air pump 11. There are two groups of threaded rings 12, and the two groups of threaded rings 12 are respectively located at the two air inlet ends of the double-headed air pump 11. The setting of the threaded ring 12 facilitates the separation of the main air pipe 8 from the connecting pipe 14 and the double-headed air pump 11. Both air inlet ends of the double-headed air pump 11 are provided with pipes and are rotatably connected to the pipes. An air permeable component is arranged inside the medical pillow body 1.

[0034] Refer to Figures 4 - 6 , one end of the main air pipe 8 close to the solenoid valve 10 penetrates into the long strip airbag 6. The end of the transmission pipe 9 far from the main airbag 4 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the main air pipe 8. The through hole 7 is sleeved on the outer wall of the main air pipe 8. There are several groups of through holes 7, and several groups of through holes 7 are equidistantly distributed on the surface of the filler 2. The through hole 7 is communicated with the air collecting groove 13. The air permeable component includes an air collecting groove 13. Air permeable holes 15 are formed on the surface of the filler 2. A connecting pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filler 2. One end of the connecting pipe 14 penetrates into the air collecting groove 13. The air collecting groove 13 is located on one side of the filler 2 close to the main airbag 4.

[0035] Refer to Figures 1 - 2, an elastic band 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the medical pillow body 1. One set of elastic bands 16 is provided at each of the left and right ends of the medical pillow body 1. The two sets of elastic bands 16 facilitate the binding of both ends of the medical pad. An anti-slip bump 17 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the elastic band 16. The anti-slip bump 17 increases the friction between the elastic band 16 and the medical pad, ensuring that the medical pad fits on the surface of the medical pillow body 1. A fixing band 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the medical pillow body 1. There are four sets of fixing bands 18, and two sets of the four sets of fixing bands 18 are located on the left and right sides of the medical pillow body 1 respectively. The four sets of fixing bands 18 facilitate the four corners of the medical pad to pass through and are convenient for tying and fixing. The fixing band 18 is located on the side wall of the medical pillow body 1.

[0036] Working principle: The patient's head is placed on the medical pillow body 1, and the main airbag 4 supports the head. Using an external controller, the solenoid valves 10 at the upper end of the main air pipe 8 and the two solenoid valves 10 on the tee pipe are closed, and the solenoid valve 10 on the transmission pipe 9 is opened. The double-headed air pump 11 pumps air into the main airbag 4 to adjust the height of the medical pillow body 1. When it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the patient's head, the left side airbag 5 or the right side airbag 5 is inflated through the corresponding solenoid valve 10. For example, if the left side airbag 5 is inflated, the left side of the medical pillow body 1 expands, and the patient's head will tilt to the right. Conversely, the patient's head tilts to the left, avoiding the patient staying in the same position for a long time. When the patient's head needs to be slightly raised backward, first place one side of the long airbag 6 under the patient's neck area, and then use the corresponding solenoid valve 10 to make the double-headed air pump 11 inflate the long airbag 6 to adjust the patient's head. Finally, it is possible to control the double-headed air pump 12 to only inflate the connecting pipe 14 intermittently. The air is transmitted to the inside of the air collecting groove 13 through the connecting pipe 14, and finally the air is discharged through multiple ventilation holes 15 to contact the patient's neck, helping to reduce the accumulation of moisture between the neck and the medical pillow body 1, keep the skin dry, and reduce the risk of pressure sores.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
