Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of blankets, in particular to an inflatable blanket for premature infants. Background Art

[0002] Liveborn infants born before 37 weeks of gestation are considered premature or premature infants. Most have birth weights below 2500g and head circumferences below 33cm. Their organ function and adaptability are poorer than those of full-term infants, and they require special care. Bird's nest care is a safer model for premature infant care. It simulates the environment inside the mother's womb, creating a 360-degree, compact space that surrounds the premature infant, giving them a familiar uterine experience. The baby's body and limbs are supported and attached, alleviating anxiety, enhancing their sense of security, and providing a more comfortable and safe sleep, facilitating their recovery and treatment. In the prior art, such as patent CN217014556U, a bird's nest quilt cover for extremely premature infants is disclosed, which includes a quilt cover body, two straps are provided on both sides of the quilt cover body, and an air cushion mechanism is provided on the front section of the upper outer surface of the quilt cover body. The air cushion mechanism is convenient for padding the shoulders of the infant to open the infant's airway and ensure the infant's normal breathing. However, only providing an inflatable air cushion on the shoulders of the infant is not conducive to further improving the comfort of the inflatable quilt. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1, see Figure 1 :

[0028] An inflatable blanket for premature infants includes a blanket body 1 surrounded by a peripheral airbag 2, which forms a bird's nest around the premature infant. Upper and lower airbags 3 and 4 are located within the peripheral airbag 2, respectively. Side airbags 5 are symmetrically located on either side of the central portion of the peripheral airbag 2, providing the premature infant with a sense of comfort, softness, and security. In practice, the blankets may be provided in different sizes to accommodate varying weights of premature infants.

[0029] Gaps are provided between the two side airbags 5, between the side airbags 5 and the upper airbag 3, and between the side airbags 5 and the lower airbag 4 to facilitate use of the swaddle. Side straps 6 are provided on both sides of the swaddle body 1 to better wrap the premature infant. Preferably, Velcro is provided at the ends of the side straps 6 and on the outside of the swaddle body 1; the side straps 6 are located along the longitudinal center line of the swaddle body 1.

[0030] The upper airbag 3 is arranged horizontally, and a placement area 10 is arranged on the side of the upper airbag 3 away from the lower airbag 4. It can be understood that the side airbag 5 is located between the upper airbag 3 and the lower airbag 4, and the placement area 10 is located on the inner side of the peripheral airbag 2.

[0031] During use, under the care of medical staff, the head of the premature baby is located in the placement area 10, and the shoulders are padded by the upper airbag 3, which helps to open the premature baby's airway and ensure the normal breathing of the premature baby. By adjusting the inflation volume, the two side airbags 5 cooperate to facilitate fine-tuning of the premature baby's body position. At the same time, the upper airbag 3, the side airbag 5 and the lower airbag 4 cooperate to help reduce the lying area, improve comfort, and effectively prevent the premature baby from sliding down.

[0032] As an embodiment, the side airbag 5 is provided with a first recess 50 corresponding to the upper airbag 3 .

[0033] As an embodiment, the lower airbag 4 is arranged in an arc shape along the inner curvature direction of the peripheral airbag 2 , and the side airbag 5 is provided with a second recess 51 corresponding to the arc-shaped lower airbag 4 .

[0034] As an embodiment, the upper end of the second recess 51 does not exceed the center dividing line of the package body 1 in the length direction.

[0035] As an embodiment, the tops of the upper airbag 3 , the side airbag 5 , and the lower airbag 4 are all lower than the top of the peripheral airbag 2 .

[0036] As an embodiment, the upper airbag 3, the side airbag 5, and the lower airbag 4 have the same first height, and the width of the airbag gap is the same as the first height, which effectively reduces the squeezing between the airbags.

[0037] As an embodiment, the outer surface of the outer airbag 2, upper airbag 3, side airbag 5, lower airbag 4, and the outer surface of the package body 1 are all provided with a skin-friendly fabric layer, which helps to improve comfort. The outer airbag 2, upper airbag 3, side airbag 5, and lower airbag 4 are all filled with a number of sterile high-elastic sponges. During use, the outer airbag 2, upper airbag 3, side airbag 5, and lower airbag 4 are not filled with air, so that the internal pressure is not high, which can ensure the fit and comfort of the airbags in different body positions or during activities of premature infants. The sterile high-elastic sponge provides a certain degree of flexible support, good comfort, and helps to reduce the amount of inflation, and the inflation adjustment speed is relatively fast. Preferably, the filling volume of the sterile high-elastic sponge is less than 50%, and the gas inflation volume is 50%-75%.

[0038] As an embodiment, the peripheral airbag 2, upper airbag 3, side airbag 5, and lower airbag 4 are all provided with independent inflation ports, which facilitate adjustment of the inflation volume according to actual needs during use. Preferably, the upper airbag 3, side airbag 5, and lower airbag 4 are all connected to the corresponding inflation ports through an inflation channel. The inflation channel passes through the package body 1 so that the inflation port is located outside the package body 1 to avoid discomfort caused by corners touching the premature baby. It is understandable that the package body 1 is provided with a main channel corresponding to the inflation channel to facilitate the arrangement of the inflation channel.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] Repeat Example 1, but a main body airbag is arranged in the package main body 1, and the main body airbag is also provided with an inflation port, which is located on the outside of the package main body 1.

[0041] The above description and embodiments are used to explain the scope of protection of the utility model, but do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the utility model. Based on the enlightenment of the utility model or the above embodiments, modifications, equivalent replacements, or other improvements to the embodiments of the utility model or part of the technical features thereof that can be obtained by ordinary technicians in this field through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments in combination with common knowledge, ordinary technical knowledge in this field and / or existing technology should be included in the scope of protection of the utility model.
