[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model proposes an adjustable integrated headrest for anterior cervical spine surgery, including a mattress 1 and a U-shaped airbag headrest 2 fixedly installed on the mattress 1 to fix the head. In use, the patient's head is placed inside the U-shaped airbag headrest 2. The U-shaped airbag headrest 2 has ear protection rings 201 on both sides to place the patient's ears inside, preventing ear compression. A pressure device 202 is installed on one side of the mattress 1, and the pressure device is connected to the U-shaped airbag headrest 2 via an air tube 203. After the patient's head is placed inside the U-shaped airbag headrest 2 and the patient is positioned appropriately, the pressure device 202 is activated, inflating the U-shaped airbag headrest 2 to fix the patient's head.

[0024] This embodiment also includes an adjustable neck pillow 3 and shoulder pillow 4 mounted on the mattress 1. The mattress 1 has multiple connection holes 5 for connecting the neck pillow 3 and shoulder pillow 4. The positions of the neck pillow 3 and shoulder pillow 4 can be adjusted according to the patient's height.

[0025] The mattress 1 has shoulder straps 7 fixedly installed on both sides, and Velcro 701 connected to the shoulder straps 7 is installed on both sides of the mattress 1. By pulling the shoulder straps 7 to both sides of the patient's body and fixing them with the Velcro 701, the shoulders can be opened up, revealing a gap.

[0026] Working principle: During use, the patient's head is placed inside the U-shaped airbag headrest 2, and the patient's ears are placed inside the ear protection ring 201 to prevent the ears from being compressed. The pressure device 202 is activated, and the U-shaped airbag headrest 2 inflates to secure the patient's head. The positions of the neck pillow 3 and shoulder pillow 4 are adjusted according to the patient's height. By pulling the shoulder straps 7 to both sides of the patient's body and securing them with Velcro 701, the shoulders are opened up, creating a gap.

[0027] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, both the neck pillow 3 and the shoulder pillow 4 are provided with a connecting module for fixing them to the connecting hole 5. The connecting module includes a positioning hole 6 located within the connecting hole 5, connecting blocks 601 fixedly installed on both sides of the neck pillow 3 and the shoulder pillow 4, a positioning rod 602 slidably installed within the connecting block 601, and a drive mechanism for moving the positioning rod 602 within the neck pillow 3 and the shoulder pillow 4. When the positioning rod 602 is moved by the drive mechanism, it can move into the positioning hole 6, thus completing the fixed connection between the neck pillow 3 and the shoulder pillow 4 and the mattress 1.

[0028] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a pressure block 603 slidably installed in the neck pillow 3 and shoulder pillow 4. A first drive cylinder 604 is fixedly installed in both the neck pillow 3 and shoulder pillow 4. A first sealing head 605 is slidably installed in the first drive cylinder 604. A connecting rod 606 is fixedly installed on the first sealing head 605. The other end of the connecting rod 606 is fixedly connected to the pressure block 603. A second drive cylinder 607 is fixedly installed in the connecting block 601. A second sealing head 608 is slidably installed in the second drive cylinder 607. A push rod 609 is fixedly installed on the second sealing head 608. The other end of the push rod 609 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 602. The two ends of the first drive cylinder 604 and the second drive cylinder 607 are connected through a first pipe 610. The first drive cylinder 604, the second drive cylinder 607, and the first pipe 610 are all filled with hydraulic medium. When the pressure block 603 is pressed, the connecting rod 606 will move. The moving connecting rod 606 will squeeze the hydraulic medium inside the first drive cylinder 604 through the first sealing head 605. The hydraulic medium is a fluid that is difficult to compress. Through the first sealing head 605, the hydraulic medium inside the first drive cylinder 604 can enter the second drive cylinder 607 through the first pipe 610. Then, the hydraulic medium entering the second drive cylinder 607 can push the second sealing head 608. The moving second sealing head 608 will drive the push rod 609 to move, which in turn can drive the positioning rod 602 to move into the connecting block 601. At this time, the neck pillow 3 and shoulder pillow 4 can be disassembled. And by changing the connection direction of the first pipe 610, the moving direction of the positioning rod 602 when the pressure block 603 is pushed can be changed.

[0029] In this embodiment, a valve is fixedly installed on one of the first pipes 610. The valve includes a valve body 611 fixedly installed on one of the first pipes 610, and a valve core 612 slidably installed inside the valve body 611. Both the neck pillow 3 and the shoulder pillow 4 are equipped with anti-loosening mechanisms that control the opening and closing of the valve based on whether the pressure block 603 is compressed. When the valve is open, the hydraulic medium inside the first drive cylinder 604 and the second drive cylinder 607 can flow to each other. When the valve is closed, the hydraulic medium inside the first drive cylinder 604 and the second drive cylinder 607 cannot flow to each other, thus preventing the positioning rod 602 from moving. The fixed state of the positioning rod 602 can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing state of the valve.

[0030] The anti-loosening mechanism includes a pressing block 613 slidably installed within the pressure block 603. A first spring 614 is fixedly installed on the pressing block 613, with the other end of the first spring 614 fixedly connected to the pressure block 603. A reset rod 615 is fixedly installed on the first sealing head 605, passing through one side of the first drive cylinder 604 and extending to the outside of the first drive cylinder 604. A second spring 616 is fixedly installed on the reset rod 615, with the other end of the second spring 616 fixedly connected to the neck pillow 3 or shoulder pillow 4. When the pressure block 603 is pressed, the pressing block 613 is pressed first, which compresses the first spring 614. When the pressing block 613 moves to its limit position within the pressure block 603, it will move the reset rod 615, causing the reset rod 615 to compress the second spring 616.

[0031] Furthermore, the anti-loosening mechanism also includes a first positioning cylinder 617 fixedly installed inside the pressing block 613. A first blocking block 618 is slidably installed inside the first positioning cylinder 617. A round rod 619 is fixedly installed on the first blocking block 618. The round rod 619 passes through one side of the first positioning cylinder 617 and is fixedly connected to the pressing block 613. A second positioning cylinder 620 is fixedly installed inside the connecting block 601. A second blocking block 621 is slidably installed inside the second positioning cylinder 620. A transmission rod 622 is fixedly installed on the second blocking block 621. The transmission rod 622 passes through one side of the second positioning cylinder 620 and is fixedly connected to the valve core 612. The two sides of the first positioning cylinder 617 and the second positioning cylinder 620 are connected through a second pipe 623. The first positioning cylinder 617, the second positioning cylinder 620, and the second pipe 623 are all filled with hydraulic medium. When the pressing block 613 is pushed, the round rod 619 will move. Through the action of the first blocking block 618, the hydraulic medium inside the first positioning cylinder 617 can be pressed into the second positioning cylinder 620, and the second blocking block 621 will move, which will drive the transmission rod 622 to move, and then drive the valve core 612 to move, so that the valve opens. At this time, the positioning rod 602 can move. Pressing the pressing block 613 again can adjust the position of the positioning rod 602.

[0032] When the pressing block 613 is released, it will be reset under the action of the first spring 614, and the valve will be closed again. This will allow the positioning rod 602 to be automatically positioned. When the positioning rod 602 needs to be moved out of the connecting block 601, the pressing block 613 needs to be installed to open the valve. With the elastic force released by the second spring 616, the finger is gradually moved outward while ensuring that the valve is open. Under the action of the second spring 616, the positioning rod 602 is pushed out of the connecting block 601.

[0033] It is worth noting that the spring constant of the first spring 614 is smaller than that of the second spring 616. This facilitates the removal of the positioning rod 602 from the connecting block 601.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the pressure block 603 is pressed, the pressing block 613 must first be pressed. At this time, the pressing block 613 will first compress the first spring 614. When the pressing block 613 moves to its limit position within the pressure block 603, it will drive the reset rod 615 to move, and the reset rod 615 will compress the second spring 616. When the pressing block 613 is pushed, it will drive the round rod 619 to move. Through the action of the first blocking block 618, the hydraulic medium inside the first positioning cylinder 617 can be forced into the second positioning cylinder 620, and the second blocking block 621 can be moved, thereby driving the transmission rod 622 to move, and then driving the valve core 612 to move, so that the valve opens. At this time, the positioning rod 602 can move. Continuing to press the pressing block 613 can adjust the position of the positioning rod 602. When the pressure block 603 is pressed, the hydraulic medium inside the first drive cylinder 604 will be squeezed. The hydraulic medium inside the first drive cylinder 604 can enter the second drive cylinder 607 through the first pipe 610 via the first sealing head 605. The hydraulic medium entering the second drive cylinder 607 can then push the second sealing head 608. The moving second sealing head 608 will drive the push rod 609 to move, which in turn will drive the positioning rod 602 to move into the connecting block 601. At this time, the neck pillow 3 and shoulder pillow 4 can be disassembled. When the pressing block 613 is released, it will be reset under the action of the first spring 614, and the valve will be closed again. This will allow the positioning rod 602 to be automatically positioned. When the positioning rod 602 needs to be moved out of the connecting block 601, the pressing block 613 needs to be installed to open the valve. With the elastic force released by the second spring 616, the finger is gradually moved outward while ensuring that the valve is open. Under the action of the second spring 616, the positioning rod 602 is pushed out of the connecting block 601.

[0035] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
