Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a prone head pillow. Background Technology

[0002] The prone position is a sleeping posture in which the patient lies face down with both arms bent and placed on either side of the head, and both legs straight; a soft pillow is placed under the chest, hips, and ankles, and the head is turned to one side.

[0003] The prone positioning method, first proposed in the 1970s as a way to improve ventilation, is a treatment for severe hypoxemia in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Currently, prone ventilation is increasingly used in clinical practice, especially for patients with dyspnea and intractable hypoxemia.

[0004] Modern prone position therapy is performed using a special prone position mattress.

[0005] The prone mattress has a special ventilation structure at one end to facilitate ventilation for the patient when lying prone.

[0006] However, the ventilation structure on a prone mattress is fixed, which means that the mattress can only be used when lying on your stomach, and its use when lying on your back is relatively unchanging. This limits the range of uses of the mattress and results in low resource utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a prone headrest to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0008] This utility model provides a prone headrest, which includes a headrest body, a mounting plate and an insertion plate;

[0009] The mounting plate is used to fix the headrest body in place;

[0010] The insertion plate is disposed on the mounting plate, and the insertion plate can be inserted under the mattress to fix the headrest body to one end of the mattress.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the headrest body is provided with a positioning structure, which can cooperate with the mattress to position the headrest body.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the prone headrest further includes a pivot, through which the insertion plate is rotatably connected to the mounting plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the insertion plate is less than or equal to the width of the mounting plate.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the number of insertion plates is multiple, and the multiple insertion plates are arranged in parallel with each other.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the insertion plate and the mounting plate are slidably connected, allowing adjustment of the spacing between adjacent insertion plates.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the insertion plate has a friction layer to increase the friction between the insertion plate and the mattress.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the insertion plate is a telescopic plate structure.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a handle is provided at the end of the mounting plate.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the headrest body is:

[0020] h = 0.3H - 0.8H, or h = H;

[0021] Where h is the thickness of the headrest body and H is the thickness of the mattress.

[0022] The prone headrest provided by this utility model is inserted under the mattress via an insert plate to fix the headrest body for prone positioning to one end of the mattress, thus realizing the prone positioning function. When the prone positioning is not needed, the prone headrest can be removed and the headrest body for normal use can be inserted.

[0042] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0044] Furthermore, the terms “first,” “second,” and “third” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, this utility model provides a prone headrest, which includes a headrest body 1, a mounting plate 3, and an insertion plate 2; the mounting plate 3 is used to fix the headrest body 1; the insertion plate 2 is disposed on the mounting plate 3, and the insertion plate 2 can be inserted under the mattress 5 to fix the headrest body 1 to one end of the mattress 5.

[0047] In this embodiment, when using the headrest, the headrest is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 3. After the insertion plate is inserted under the mattress 5, the weight of the mattress 5 is used to fix the insertion plate 2 and the mounting plate 3 to the bed, thus achieving the positioning of the headrest body 1.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the headrest body 1. There are many ways to fix the connection, such as bonding or binding.

[0049] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 3 and the insertion plate 2 are integrally formed, that is, different parts of the same plate.

[0050] In this embodiment, the thickness of the end of the insertion plate 2 furthest from the mounting plate 3 is less than the thickness of the end closest to the mounting plate 3. This arrangement facilitates the insertion of the insertion plate 2 under the mattress 5.

[0051] When the prone headrest is not needed, the insert plate 2 can be pulled out from under the mattress 5, which will move the headrest body 1 off the bed.

[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the insertion plate 2 is inserted under the mattress 5 for fixation. However, it can also be achieved by using a rod structure or other structure that can be inserted under the mattress 5.

[0053] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, and Figures 1-15 In this design, both the insertion plate 2 and the mounting plate 3 are rectangular plates, but they are not limited to rectangles. They can also be other shapes, such as ovals, trapezoids, or combinations of multiple shapes, such as barbell shapes, as long as they can achieve the functions of the mounting plate 3 and the insertion plate 2.

[0054] It should also be noted that the shapes of the insertion plate 2 and the mounting plate 3 can be the same or different.

[0055] In this embodiment, the ends of the insertion plate 2 are rounded, which makes it easier to insert the insertion plate 2 under the mattress 5.

[0056] At the same time, the corners of the mounting plate 3 are also rounded to prevent the sharp edges from causing accidental injury to the operator.

[0057] It is understood that in this embodiment, the end of the insertion plate is rounded, but it is not limited to rounded corners. It can also be 45° chamfered, 30° chamfered, etc., as long as it can be easily inserted under the mattress 5.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the headrest body 1 is provided with a positioning structure, which can cooperate with the mattress 5 to position the headrest body 1.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the positioning structure is provided on the headrest body 1, it can prevent the headrest body 1 from moving due to the rotation or movement of the head after the human head comes into contact with the headrest body 1, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the headrest body 1.

[0060] In this embodiment, the positioning structure can be set in many ways.

[0061] The positioning structure can adopt a Velcro structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, two Velcro sections are respectively provided on the headrest body 1 and the mattress 5. When the headrest body 1 is placed at one end of the mattress 5, it can be glued to the mattress 5 by the Velcro, thereby forming a whole and ensuring the stability of the headrest body 1.

[0062] The positioning structure can also be a zipper structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, a zipper chain is provided on the headrest body 1, and another zipper chain is provided at the end of the mattress 5. When using the prone position, the two chains are connected together by the zipper pull, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the headrest body 1 to the mattress 5 and ensuring the stability of the headrest body 1 during use.

[0063] It is understandable that the positioning structure can be set up in the two ways mentioned above, but it is not limited to these two ways. As long as it can connect the headrest body 1 to the mattress 5 and ensure the stability of the headrest body 1 during use, it is acceptable.

[0064] In this embodiment, the positioning structure is disposed on the headrest body 1, and the stability of the headrest body 1 during use is ensured by connecting the headrest body 1 and the mattress 5. The positioning structure can also be disposed on the mounting plate 3 or the insertion plate 2, and the stability of the headrest body 1 during use is ensured by connecting the mounting plate 3 or the insertion plate 2 to the mattress 5, or by fixing the mounting plate 3 or the insertion plate 2 to the bed frame.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, the prone headrest also includes a rotating shaft 4, and the insertion plate 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 3 through the rotating shaft 4.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly disposed below the mounting plate 3, and the other end is rotatably connected to the insertion plate 2, so that the insertion plate 2 can rotate below the mounting plate 3.

[0067] When the prone headrest is needed, rotate the insertion plate 2 so that one end of the insertion plate 2 can be inserted under the mattress 5 by rotating it out from under the mounting plate 3; when the prone headrest is not needed, the insertion plate 2 pulled out from under the mattress 5 can be rotated in the opposite direction to enter under the mounting plate 3 so that the insertion plate 2 overlaps with the mounting plate 3.

[0068] This design effectively reduces the size and space occupied by the prone headrest, making it easy to place and move.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the position of the rotating shaft 4 can be adjusted according to actual use, and can be as follows: Figure 7 The setting shown is located at the center of the mounting plate, but it can also be set at a position offset from the center, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it is sufficient that one end of the insertion plate 2 can extend from below the mounting plate 3, while the other end does not extend from below the mounting plate 3.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the insertion plate 2 is less than or equal to the width of the mounting plate 3.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the width of the insertion plate 2 is less than or equal to the width of the mounting plate 3, the insertion plate 2 can be rotated and retracted to completely overlap with the mounting plate 3, which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figures 11-13 As shown, there are multiple insertion plates 2, which are arranged in parallel to each other.

[0073] In this embodiment, the insertion plate 2 is configured as multiple pieces.

[0074] Specifically, when there are two insertion plates 2, they are respectively set at the same end of the mounting plate 3, and there is a certain gap between the two insertion plates 2; when there are three or more insertion plates 2, they are all set at the same end of the mounting plate 3, and are evenly distributed in a straight direction at that end.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the insertion plate 2 and the mounting plate 3 are slidably connected, which allows for adjustment of the spacing between adjacent insertion plates 2.

[0076] In this embodiment, the insertion plate 2 and the mounting plate 3 are slidably connected, which can adjust the distance between adjacent insertion plates 2, thereby ensuring that the insertion plate 2 can be smoothly inserted between the mattress 5 and the bed frame, and also making it suitable for different mattresses 5.

[0077] In this embodiment, there are many ways to make a sliding connection.

[0078] Specifically, a track can be set on the mounting plate 3, and a sliding device can be set on the track at the end of the insertion plate 2.

[0079] More specifically, the track can be a grooved track or a convex track, as long as it can slide with the insertion plate 2.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the insertion plate 2 has a friction layer to increase the friction between the insertion plate 2 and the mattress 5.

[0081] In this embodiment, the friction layer can improve the stability of the insertion plate 2 under the mattress 5, prevent the movement of the human head from causing the insertion plate 2 under the mattress 5 to shift, and ensure the stability of the headrest body 1.

[0082] In this embodiment, the friction layer can be a striped pattern or a friction cloth, as long as it can increase the friction between the insertion plate 2 and the mattress 5.

[0083] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the headrest body 1 is the same as the width of the mounting plate 3.

[0084] In this embodiment, the width of the headrest body 1 is the same as the width of the mounting plate 3, and the width of the mounting plate 3 is the same as the width of the mattress 5. This allows the prone patient to move to any position without affecting normal ventilation in the prone position and maintain good comfort.

[0085] It is understood that in this embodiment, the width of the headrest body 1 is the same as the width of the mounting plate 3, or it can be smaller than the width of the mounting plate 3. Similarly, the width of the mounting plate 3 can be the same as the width of the mattress 5, or it can be smaller than the width of the mattress 5.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, the insertion plate 2 is configured as a telescopic structure.

[0087] Specifically, in this embodiment, the insertion plate 2 is set as a telescopic structure, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the prone headrest and facilitate storage and movement.

[0088] More specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic structure can be a sleeve-type telescopic structure or a scissor-type telescopic structure, etc.

[0089] In a preferred embodiment, a handle 6 is provided at the end of the mounting plate.

[0090] In this embodiment, the handle 6 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 3 at the end away from the insertion plate 2. When the insertion plate 2 is inserted under the mattress 5, the handle 6 can rotate and fall down, reducing space occupation and improving space utilization.

[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment, the handle 6 can be in the form of a pull ring or a pull rope, as long as it can pull the mounting plate 3.

[0092] After using the prone headrest, simply pull the insert plate 2 out from under the mattress 5 using handle 6.

[0093] It is understandable that the handle 6 can also be a fixed structure, such as a horizontal handle 6 or a grooved handle 6, as long as it can facilitate pulling the insertion plate 2.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the headrest body 1 is:

[0095] h = 0.3H - 0.8H, or h = H;

[0096] Where h is the thickness of the headrest body 1 and H is the thickness of the mattress 5.

[0097] In this embodiment, when the headrest body 1 and the mattress 5 are fitted together, the thickness h of the headrest body 1 is less than the thickness H of the mattress 5, creating a certain height difference between them, thereby facilitating ventilation when lying prone. Figure 14 As shown; when the thickness h of the headrest body 1 is the same as the thickness H of the mattress 5, there is a certain gap between the headrest body 1 and the mattress 5, which facilitates ventilation for patients in a prone position, such as... Figure 15 As shown.

[0098] In this embodiment, the thickness h of the headrest body 1 is 0.3-0.8 times the thickness H of the mattress 5. In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the headrest body 1 is half the thickness of the mattress 5.

[0099] The prone headrest provided by this utility model is inserted under the mattress 5 through an insertion plate to fix the headrest body 1 for prone use to one end of the mattress 5, thereby realizing the prone position function. When the prone position is not needed, the prone headrest can be taken out and the headrest body 1 for normal use can be inserted.

[0100] The entire process is simple to operate, convenient and quick to use, low in cost, and has a high resource utilization rate.
