Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a special support, in particular to a pillow suitable for prone position. Background Art
[0002] In ophthalmic surgeries, such as vitrectomy and retinal detachment surgery, patients usually need to lie prone to rest after the surgery to ensure recovery. In order to improve the comfort of patients resting in a prone position, a nursing bed with a hole is generally provided. When the patient rests in a prone position, the patient faces the head to the hole to maintain smooth breathing. However, this type of nursing bed is less comfortable to use and has fewer supporting positions for the head. To this end, patients can use a U-shaped pillow when lying in a prone position to support and limit the positions of the head on both sides of the U-shaped pillow. However, the overall posture of the U-shaped pillow is difficult to maintain, and the two sides of the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped pillow are prone to move inward or apart outward, and cannot provide adaptive support for the patient's head. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pillow that can provide adaptive support for the patient's head when the patient rests in a prone position. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a pillow suitable for prone position, so as to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.
[0004] The solution of the utility model to solve its technical problems is:
[0005] A pillow suitable for prone position comprises: a pillow ring, which is surrounded by a hole extending vertically therethrough, and an elastic deformation cavity is provided on the pillow ring behind the hole; a telescopic member is located in the elastic deformation cavity, and the left and right ends of the telescopic member can move away from or approach each other, wherein when the left and right ends of the telescopic member move away from each other, the space behind the hole of the pillow ring can be increased; when the left and right ends of the telescopic member move closer to each other, the space behind the hole of the pillow ring can be reduced.
[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: when the patient is resting in a prone position, his head can rest against the front top side of the pillow ring, and his lower jaw can rest against the rear top side of the pillow ring. The left and right sides of the pillow ring can rest against the left and right sides of the head. Since the heads of different patients are of different sizes, in order to better adapt the pillow ring to the patient's head, the left and right ends of the telescopic member can be moved closer to or farther away from each other. For example, when the patient's head is large, the left and right ends of the telescopic member are moved away from each other, and the elastic deformation cavity is elastically stretched in the left and right directions, thereby increasing the space behind the pillow ring at the hole. At this time, the left and right sides of the rear part of the pillow are stretched out, which can better adapt to the patient's head size and reduce the pressure on the eyes; when the patient's head is small, the left and right ends of the telescopic part are moved in a direction close to each other, the elastic deformation cavity is elastically restored, and the space behind the pillow ring at the hole is reduced, so that the pillow ring can stably support the head. In this way, the patient's head is provided with more stable limitation and support when the patient rests in a prone position, which greatly improves the patient's comfort when lying in a prone position. In addition, the size can be adjusted to patients with different head sizes, with strong versatility and better application.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the pillow includes a head pad, a side pad, a chin pad and an elastic sleeve. The left and right sides of the head pad are respectively connected to the side pads, and the left and right sides of the chin pad are respectively connected to the elastic sleeves. The two elastic sleeves are respectively formed with the elastic deformation cavities, and the two elastic deformation cavities are respectively provided with the telescopic parts. The ends of the two elastic sleeves away from the chin pad are respectively connected to the rear parts of the two side pads, and the hole is formed between the head pad, the side pads, the chin pad and the elastic sleeve. When in use, the head pad is mainly used to provide support for the patient's forehead, and the two side pads are used to limit the positions on both sides of the head to prevent the head from shaking left and right. The chin pad is used to provide support for the chin. When the size of the hole needs to be adjusted to accommodate the patient's head, the two telescopic parts move left and right at the same time, pushing the two side pads outward. At this time, the two elastic sleeves are elastically stretched, and the hole formed by the surrounding is enlarged. Or the two telescopic parts move toward the chin pad at the same time. At this time, the two elastic sleeves are elastically contracted, pulling the two side pads close to the chin pad, and the hole formed by the surrounding is reduced. This can reduce the movement of the chin pad. The position of the two side pads can be adjusted according to comfort during use, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the pillow ring and improving the overall comfort of use.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the retractable members are airbags, each of which is connected to an air pump via a pipeline. The airbags can expand or contract in the left-right direction. When the hole opening needs to be enlarged, the air pump inflates the airbags, causing them to expand in the left-right direction and push the two side cushions away from each other. When the hole opening needs to be reduced, the airbags are deflated, causing them to contract in the left-right direction. The elastic sleeve pulls the two side cushions toward the chin pad, thereby adjusting the size of the hole opening. The airbags themselves provide elastic support, allowing them to better fit the patient's chin and provide both positioning and support.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the chin pad is made of silicone material. The silicone chin pad can provide good elastic support for the head, and the two airbags can effectively reduce the inward compression of the chin pad when inflated, so that the two airbags can better push the two side pads outward.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the two elastic sleeves are detachably connected to the two side pads. The elastic sleeves and the side pads can be detached from each other, which facilitates replacement and maintenance of the side pads and the elastic sleeves during use, and improves the convenience of disassembly and maintenance of the airbag.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a medicine application groove is provided on the top side of the headrest, and a gasket is connected to the headrest, which can open or cover the medicine application groove. During use, the gasket can be opened, a Chinese medicine bag can be placed in the medicine application groove, and then the gasket can be used to cover the bag, thereby improving the comfort of the forehead support position, thereby enhancing the patient's auxiliary recovery function and further improving the comfort of use.
[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the gasket is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes, which can improve the air circulation inside the medicine compress groove, thereby improving the effect of the Chinese medicine bag on assisting the patient's recovery.
[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the gasket is detachably connected to the headrest. The gasket can be relatively fixed to the headrest and is not easy to slip during use. When the Chinese medicine bag in the applicator groove is replaced, the gasket can be opened, thereby improving the convenience of use.
[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the left and right sides of the headrest are respectively connected with upper limb pads extending forward. When the patient is resting in a prone position, the upper limbs can be placed forward on the upper limb pads, thereby improving the comfort of prone position.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, recessed relief grooves are formed between the two upper limb pads and the two side pads, each recessed toward the head pad. These recessed relief grooves can help the patient's upper limbs to naturally retract when extended forward, improving comfort when lying prone. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 A pillow suitable for prone position includes a pillow ring and a retractable member 100, wherein the pillow ring is surrounded by a hole extending through the upper and lower directions, and an elastic deformation cavity is provided at the rear of the pillow ring located at the hole; the retractable member 100 is located in the elastic deformation cavity, and the left and right ends of the retractable member 100 can move away from or approach each other, wherein when the left and right ends of the retractable member 100 move away from each other, the space behind the pillow ring at the hole can be increased; when the left and right ends of the retractable member 100 move closer to each other, the space behind the pillow ring at the hole can be reduced.
[0025] As can be seen from the above, when the patient is resting in a prone position, his head can be against the front top side of the pillow, and his lower jaw can be against the rear top side of the pillow. The left and right sides of the pillow can be against the left and right sides of the head. Since the head sizes of different patients are different, in order to better adapt the pillow to the patient's head, the left and right ends of the telescopic member 100 can be moved closer to or farther away from each other. For example, when the patient's head is large, the left and right ends of the telescopic member 100 are moved away from each other, and the elastic deformation cavity is elastically stretched in the left and right directions, thereby increasing the space behind the pillow at the hole. At this time, the pillow The left and right sides of the rear portion are stretched open to better adapt to the size of the patient's head and reduce the pressure on the eyes. When the patient's head is small, the left and right ends of the telescopic member 100 are moved in a direction close to each other, the elastically deformed cavity is elastically restored, and the space behind the pillow ring at the hole is reduced, so that the pillow ring can stably support the head. In this way, a more stable limit and support is provided for the patient's head when the patient is lying prone to rest, which greatly improves the patient's comfort when lying prone. In addition, the size can be adjusted to suit patients with different head sizes, and the pillow has strong versatility and can be better promoted and applied.
[0026] The pillow ring can be a continuous structure. Since the pillow ring has an elastically deformable part, in order to better assemble the whole, in this embodiment, the pillow ring includes a head pad 210, a side pad 220, a chin pad 230 and an elastic sleeve 240. The left and right sides of the head pad 210 are respectively connected to the side pads 220, and the left and right sides of the chin pad 230 are respectively connected to the elastic sleeves 240. The elastic deformation cavities are respectively formed in the two elastic sleeves 240, and the telescopic parts 10 are respectively arranged in the two elastic deformation cavities. 0, one end of the two elastic sleeves 240 away from the chin pad 230 is respectively connected to the rear part of the two side pads 220, and the hole is formed between the head pad 210, the side pads 220, the chin pad 230 and the elastic sleeves 240. In actual application, the head pad 210, the side pads 220, and the chin pad 230 are mainly filled and formed with materials that can provide elastic support, such as sponge and cloth, and the elastic sleeve 240 can be a tubular structure formed by elastic nylon, silicone, etc., which can mainly form a space that is elastically deformed along the left and right directions. During use, the head pad 210 is mainly used to provide support for the patient's forehead, the two side pads 220 are used to limit the positions of the two sides of the head to prevent the head from shaking left and right, and the chin pad 230 is used to provide support for the chin. When the size of the hole needs to be adjusted to accommodate the patient's head, the two telescopic parts 100 move simultaneously in the left and right directions to push the two side pads 220 outward. At this time, the two elastic sleeves 240 are elastically stretched, and the hole formed by the surrounding is enlarged. Alternatively, the two telescopic parts 100 move simultaneously in the direction close to the chin pad 230. At this time, the two elastic sleeves 240 are elastically contracted, pulling the two side pads 220 close to the chin pad 230, and the hole formed by the surrounding is reduced. This can reduce the movement of the chin pad 230. The position of the two side pads 220 can be adjusted according to comfort during use, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the pillow ring and improving the overall comfort of use.
[0027] The telescopic member 100 primarily provides horizontal freedom of movement. Its structural form can be varied. For example, the telescopic member 100 may utilize a screw. To provide good elastic support for the patient's head at the elastic sleeve 240, in this embodiment, the telescopic member 100 comprises airbags. The two airbags are each connected to an air pump via a pipeline, allowing them to expand or contract horizontally. To enlarge the opening, the air pump inflates the airbags, causing them to expand horizontally and push the two side pads 220 away from each other. To reduce the opening, the airbags are deflated, causing them to contract horizontally. The elastic sleeve 240 pulls the two side pads 220 toward the chin pad 230, thereby adjusting the size of the opening. Furthermore, the airbags themselves provide elastic support, allowing them to better fit the patient's chin and provide both positional support and stability.
[0028] In addition to being formed using materials such as cloth and sponge, the chin pad 230 is also made of silicone in this embodiment. This silicone material provides excellent elastic support for the head, and the two airbags, when inflated, effectively reduce inward pressure on the chin pad 230, allowing the two airbags to better push the two side pads 220 outward. In actual use, a cushioning pad can also be installed on the top side of the chin pad 230 to provide softer elastic support, further improving user comfort. The cushioning pad can also be removed from the chin pad 230, making it easier to replace the chin pad 230.
[0029] The two elastic sleeves 240 can be directly attached to the side pads 220 by sewing or other methods. However, this method is not conducive to direct removal of the elastic sleeves 240, making it difficult to replace or maintain the elastic sleeves 240 or the side pads 220 later. Therefore, in this embodiment, the two elastic sleeves 240 are detachably attached to the two side pads 220. The elastic sleeves 240 and the side pads 220 are detachable from each other, facilitating replacement and maintenance of the side pads 220 and the elastic sleeves 240 during use, and improving the convenience of airbag assembly and maintenance. The two elastic sleeves 240 can be attached to the side pads 220 by zippers or buttons. In addition, the elastic sleeves 240 and the chin pad 230 can also be detachably connected, allowing the elastic sleeves 240 and the chin pad 230 to be independently removed and maintained.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a medicine application groove 211 is provided on the top side of the head pad 210, and a gasket 212 is connected to the head pad 210. The gasket 212 can open or cover the medicine application groove 211. When the medicine application groove 211 is opened, the gasket 212 can be completely separated from the head pad 210, or one side can remain connected to the head pad 210. During use, the gasket 212 can be opened, and a Chinese medicine bag can be placed in the medicine application groove 211. The gasket 212 can then be used to cover the Chinese medicine bag, thereby improving the comfort of the forehead support position, thereby improving the patient's auxiliary rehabilitation function and further improving the comfort of use.
[0031] In order to improve the efficacy of the Chinese medicine bag in the medicine application groove 211 on the patient, in this embodiment, the gasket 212 is provided with multiple ventilation holes. The multiple ventilation holes can improve the air circulation inside the medicine application groove 211, thereby improving the effect of the Chinese medicine bag on the patient's recovery.
[0032] When covering the medicine application groove 211, the gasket 212 can be directly placed on the head pad 210. In order to prevent the gasket 212 from sliding on the head pad 210 due to the patient's head during use, in this embodiment, the gasket 212 is detachably connected to the head pad 210. For example, a Velcro can be provided on the gasket 212, and a Velcro is provided on the head pad 210. The gasket 212 is fixed by connecting the Velcro with the Velcro. Alternatively, the gasket 212 can be connected to the head pad 210 via buttons, and the sides of the gasket 212 can be directly fixed relatively. The gasket 212 can be relatively fixed to the head pad 210 and is not easy to slide during use. When the Chinese medicine bag in the medicine application groove 211 is replaced, the gasket 212 can be opened, thereby improving the convenience of use.
[0033] In some embodiments, the left and right sides of the headrest 210 are connected to forward-extending upper limb pads 250. When a patient rests in a prone position, their upper limbs can be placed forward on the upper limb pads 250, improving prone comfort. In practical applications, the headrest 210, side pads 220, and upper limb pads 250 can be integrally formed to facilitate overall production and assembly.
[0034] Furthermore, a relief recess 260 is formed between the two upper limb pads 250 and the two side pads 220, which is concave toward the head pad 210. The two relief grooves can avoid the patient's upper limbs when they extend forward, so that the upper limbs can naturally retract inward, improving the comfort when lying prone.
[0035] The above specifically describes the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
