[0027] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of a heel pressure injury prevention pillow comprises a pillow body 1, a plurality of groups of air bags are arranged in the pillow body 1, the air bags are arranged in layers along the height direction of the pillow body 1, and each air bag is provided with an independent inflation port 4. Since a plurality of groups of air bags are arranged in the pillow body 1, the shape of the pillow body 1 can be adjusted by controlling the inflation and deflation state of each air bag arranged in layers along the height direction of the pillow body 1, and each air bag is provided with an independent inflation port 4, so that the inflation and deflation state of the air bags is not affected by each other, facilitating the shape control of the pillow body 1. Compared with the overall inflation and deflation of only one air bag, the air bags are arranged in layers along the height direction of the pillow body 1, which has the advantages that: the overall inflation and deflation of one air bag is prone to deformation in the incomplete inflation state due to the large volume, and the structural features of the pillow body 1 cannot be maintained; and by arranging the air bags in layers along the height direction of the pillow body 1, some air bags can be inflated to support the structure of the pillow body 1, and some air bags can be completely or partially deflated, so that the ideal height or angle can be adjusted. Moreover, each air bag is provided with an independent inflation port 4, and the inflation and deflation state of the air bags is not affected by each other.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments of the present application, the air bags comprise a first air bag group 2 and a second air bag group 3, the first air bag group 2 is located at the lower part of the pillow body 1 and is used to lift the height of the pillow body 1, and the second air bag group 3 is located at the upper part of the pillow body 1 and is used to adjust the pillow surface inclination angle of the pillow body 1. During use, the height of the pillow body 1 is adjusted by adjusting the inflation and deflation state of the first air bag group 2, thereby solving the problem of adjusting the height of the pillow body 1 according to the height and body shape of the patient and improving the universality. The pillow surface inclination angle of the pillow body 1 is adjusted by adjusting the inflation and deflation state of the second air bag group 3, thereby solving the problem that the patient cannot adjust the angle of the pillow body 1 according to the comfort requirement.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, the thickness of the single air bag of the first air bag group 2 increases synchronously with inflation. It is particularly pointed out that the above description is in an ideal state, and the thickness of the single air bag of the first air bag group 2 increases synchronously with the increase of the amount of gas filled when inflating, so as to achieve the purpose of lifting the height of the pillow body 1. In the actual state, there may be slight inclination, which should be understood as the expression range of the application.

[0030] As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, the thickness of the single air bag of the second air bag group 3 does not change at one end, and increases at the other end with inflation. It is particularly pointed out that the above description is in an ideal state, and the thickness of the single air bag of the second air bag group 3 hardly changes at one end with the increase of the amount of gas filled when inflating, and the thickness of the single air bag of the second air bag group 3 increases at the other end with the increase of the amount of gas filled, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the inclination angle of the pillow surface of the pillow body 1. In the actual state, the thickness of the second air bag group 3 at one end may slightly increase, which should be understood as the expression range of the application.

[0031] As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, a partition plate 5 is arranged between the first air bag group 2 and the second air bag group 3. The partition plate 5 can be made of hard material, and the first air bag group 2 and the second air bag group 3 are separated by the partition plate 5, so as to avoid interference between the first air bag group 2 and the second air bag group 3 due to different inflation and deflation states.

[0032] As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, one side of the pillow body 1 is an inclined surface. The inclined surface is used to hold the patient's thigh to support the thigh, so as to avoid the occurrence of empty space and make the patient feel uncomfortable.

[0033] As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, a plurality of anti-skid protrusions 6 are arranged on the top of the pillow body 1. The lower leg of the patient is supported by the top of the pillow body 1, and the anti-skid protrusions 6 are arranged to avoid the lower leg of the patient from sliding to both sides, so as to fix the lower leg of the patient. The anti-skid protrusions 6 are made of rubber material and have good anti-skid performance.

[0034] As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, the pillow body 1 is wrapped with a cortex layer. The cortex layer has good skin friendliness and is convenient to scrub and maintain, so as to keep the pillow body 1 clean and sanitary.

[0035] As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, the air inlet 4 is provided with a rubber air valve. The rubber air valve is commonly used in various inflatable balls to seal the gas and avoid leakage, and the interior can be inflated through a specific needle penetrating the rubber air valve, which is a preferred selection scheme of the application.

[0036] Thus far, the embodiments of the application have been described in detail. In order to avoid obscuring the concept of the application, some details known in the art are not described. Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein according to the above description.
