Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical lying pillow technology, and in particular relates to a postoperative lying pillow. Background Technology
[0002] Retinal detachment is a serious eye disease that usually requires surgical treatment. After the surgery, silicone oil is injected into the vitreous cavity as a tampon to promote retinal repositioning. In order to ensure that the buoyancy of the silicone oil can effectively adhere to the retina and promote retinal repositioning, the patient needs to maintain a specific prone position. However, the prone position for a long time can cause great discomfort to the patient, which not only affects the patient's compliance and comfort, but may also further affect the postoperative recovery.
[0003] Currently available face pillows have a relatively simple structure and many shortcomings. For example, these face pillows often cannot adjust the tilt in real time, nor can they be personalized according to the specific needs of patients, thus limiting patient comfort. In addition, existing face pillows lack massage functions and cannot effectively relieve muscle tension and pain caused by patients maintaining the same posture for a long time. These problems have resulted in the low comfort of existing face pillows, which cannot meet the needs of patients' postoperative recovery. Utility Model Content

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0029] This utility model embodiment provides a postoperative prone pillow, such as... Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes a head pillow and an upper limb pillow; wherein, the upper limb body includes: an upper limb mounting base 1; an assembly groove 2 with a height lower than its horizontal position is opened in the middle of the upper limb mounting base 1; a fixing base 3 is provided in the assembly groove 2; a support frame 4 is rotatably fitted on the fixing base 3; support plates 5 are provided on both sides of the support frame 4; a fixing plate 6 is rotatably mounted on the two support plates 5, and a heating wire and a temperature sensor 7 are provided in the fixing plate 6; a number of elastic massage balls 8 are rotatably fitted on both fixing plates 6; a soft pad 9 for covering its groove is provided on the assembly groove 2, and the soft pad 9 has a raised arc-shaped structure.
[0030] It should be noted that current prone pillows suffer from drawbacks such as lack of real-time adjustment and massage function, resulting in low comfort and failing to meet the postoperative recovery needs of patients. This solution, through precise lumbar massage, effectively relieves muscle tension and pain. Simultaneously, the combination of heating wire and temperature sensor 7 provides a suitable heating environment for the upper limbs, promoting blood circulation, which is crucial for patient recovery. Furthermore, the device significantly enhances patient comfort, ensuring proper support for the head and upper limbs whether lying down or prone, avoiding excessive pressure on the neck and shoulders, and reducing friction and pressure points between the arms and the arm pillow 18. More importantly, the device enables intelligent interaction with the patient, allowing them to easily adjust various parameters via voice commands to obtain personalized comfort support and rehabilitation assistance, making the rehabilitation process more precise and efficient.
[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the solution mainly includes a head pillow and an upper limb pillow. When the patient is lying down, the patient's head can be placed on the head pillow, while the upper limbs are placed on the upper limb mounting seat 1. Specifically, the waist is placed on the soft pad 9 and fits against it. The elastic massage balls 8 on the fixing plate 6 gently contact and massage the waist by rotating. At the same time, the heating wires in the fixing plate 6 can heat the upper limbs through the soft pad 9, improving comfort and helping to promote blood circulation. Personalized comfort support and rehabilitation assistance are obtained. Meanwhile, the temperature sensor 7 monitors the temperature generated by the heating wires in real time to ensure that the temperature is kept within a suitable range, thereby providing the patient with a comfortable environment that is conducive to upper limb rehabilitation.
[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the head pillow includes: a head mounting base 11 connected to the upper limb mounting base 1; a transition plate 12 rotatably fitted inside the head mounting base 11; a set of wedge blocks 13 disposed inside the head mounting base 11, each of the two wedge blocks 13 being provided with an electric push rod 14; a connecting spring 15 disposed at the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 14, the connecting spring 15 being provided with a damper; the side of the two connecting springs 15 away from the electric push rods 14 is connected to the back side of the transition plate 12.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the height or angle of the headrest needs to be adjusted, the electric push rod 14 will extend and retract, pushing the connecting spring 15 to move the adapter plate 12, thereby changing the height and tilt angle of the adapter plate 12. The connecting spring 15 and the damper play a buffering and stabilizing role, making the adjustment process smoother and more comfortable. In this way, the patient can obtain the best head support and comfort by adjusting the height and angle of the headrest according to their own needs.
[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a headrest 16 is provided on the head mounting base 11, and a reserved through hole 17 is provided through the headrest 16 and the adapter plate 12.
[0035] In this embodiment, when the patient lies prone on the postoperative pillow, their face can be comfortably placed within the pre-drilled through-hole 17 that runs through the headrest 16 and the adapter plate 12. This allows the patient's face to avoid direct contact with the solid surface of the headrest 16, thereby greatly improving breathability and reducing stuffiness and discomfort caused by prolonged pressure and a confined environment. This design not only helps keep the patient's face dry and comfortable but also helps reduce potential health risks caused by breathing difficulties or skin pressure.
[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-2 As shown, armrests 18 are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the head mounting base 11, and an arc-shaped groove is provided in the middle of the armrest 18.
[0037] In this embodiment, when the patient lies prone on the postoperative lying pillow, their arms can be naturally placed on the arm pillow 18. The opening of the arc-shaped groove further enhances the comfort of the arm pillow 18. The patient's arms can be easily placed into the groove. The shape of the groove matches the natural curvature of the arm, thereby reducing friction and pressure points between the arm and the arm pillow 18 and improving overall comfort.
[0038] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-2As shown, side guards 19 are provided on both sides of the upper limb mounting base 1.
[0039] In this embodiment, when the patient places his upper limb on the upper limb mounting seat 1, the side guard pad 19 can effectively block the lateral movement of the upper limb, preventing it from slipping or overextending. This blocking effect not only improves the patient's safety, but also ensures the stable support of the upper limb on the mounting seat, reducing friction and discomfort caused by movement.
[0040] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a display panel 20 is provided on the outer wall of one of the side cushions 19. The display panel 20 integrates a microprocessor and a voice sensor. The display panel 20 is electrically connected to the head pillow and the upper limb pillow.
[0041] In this embodiment, when the patient uses the postoperative prone pillow, the voice sensor can capture the patient's voice commands or voice changes in real time. Through the cooperation of the voice sensor and the microprocessor, the display panel 20 can also realize intelligent interaction with the patient. For example, the patient can adjust parameters such as the angle, temperature and prone time of the head pillow or upper limb pillow through voice commands so as to carry out timely intervention and care.
[0042] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, a first motor 21 is provided inside the fixed base 3, and the output end of the first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the receiving frame 4.
[0043] In this embodiment, the first motor 21 drives the receiving frame 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the massager to rotate within the assembly groove 2. Through the rolling of the massage ball 8, the massager massages the patient's waist.
[0044] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, a second motor 22 is provided on the bottom side of the receiving plate 5, and the output end of the second motor 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing plate 6.
[0045] In this embodiment, the second motor 22 is used to drive the fixed plate 6 to rotate, thereby causing the massage ball 8 fixed on the fixed plate 6 to rotate as well, so as to achieve a massage effect on the patient's waist.
[0046] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, an auxiliary pad 23 is provided on the side of the head mounting seat 11 adjacent to the upper limb mounting seat 1.
[0047] In this embodiment, when the patient lies prone on the postoperative pillow, the head is placed on the head mounting seat 11 and the upper limbs are naturally placed on the upper limb mounting seat 1. At this time, the auxiliary pad 23 can provide additional support to ensure that the patient's head and upper limbs maintain an appropriate distance and angle, and avoid excessive pressure on the neck and shoulders.
[0048] Working principle: First, the patient can choose to lie down or lie prone; when lying down, the head is naturally placed on the head pillow, and the upper limbs are comfortably placed on the upper limb mounting seat 1; the auxiliary pad 23 is located between the head mounting seat 11 and the upper limb mounting seat 1, providing additional support for the patient and ensuring that the head and upper limbs maintain an appropriate distance and angle, thereby effectively avoiding excessive pressure on the neck and shoulders;
[0049] In a prone position, the patient's face can be comfortably embedded in the pre-reserved through hole 17 that runs through the headrest 16 and the adapter plate 12. This design greatly improves breathability, reduces the stuffiness and discomfort caused by prolonged pressure and a closed environment, helps keep the patient's face dry and comfortable, and also reduces potential health risks caused by breathing difficulties or skin pressure.
[0050] Meanwhile, the patient's arm can be placed naturally on the arm pillow 18, and the arc-shaped groove design in the middle of the arm pillow 18 further enhances comfort; the arm can be easily placed in the groove, effectively reducing friction and pressure points between the arm and the arm pillow 18, further improving overall comfort.
[0051] During the lying down process, the first motor 21 drives the support frame 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the massager to rotate in the assembly groove 2; the massage ball 8 rolls with the rotation of the massager, providing a precise massage to the patient's waist; in addition, the second motor 22 drives the fixing plate 6 to rotate, so that the massage ball 8 fixed on the fixing plate 6 also rotates, bringing an additional massage effect to the patient's waist.
[0052] It is worth mentioning that the elastic massage balls 8 on the fixation plate 6 not only gently contact and massage the waist by rotating, but the heating wires inside the fixation plate 6 can also heat the upper limbs through the soft pads 9, improving comfort and promoting blood circulation; the temperature sensor 7 monitors the temperature generated by the heating wires in real time to ensure that the temperature is always kept within a suitable range, providing patients with a comfortable environment that is conducive to upper limb rehabilitation.
[0053] In addition, when the patient needs to adjust the height or angle of the headrest, the electric push rod 14 will extend and retract, pushing the connecting spring 15 to move the adapter plate 12, thereby changing the height and tilt angle of the adapter plate 12; the connecting spring 15 and the damper play a buffering and stabilizing role in this process, making the adjustment process smoother and more comfortable; the patient can obtain the best head support and comfort by adjusting the height and angle of the headrest according to their own needs.
[0054] Even more intelligently, the postoperative lying pillow is also equipped with a voice sensor and a display panel 20; the voice sensor can capture the patient's voice commands or sound changes in real time, and through the processing of the microprocessor, the display panel 20 can realize intelligent interaction with the patient; the patient can easily adjust parameters such as the angle, temperature and lying time of the head pillow or upper limb pillow through voice commands, thereby obtaining more personalized comfort support and rehabilitation assistance.
