[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the kangaroo-style nursing recliner of this embodiment includes a recliner body on which the postpartum woman can sit or lie. When not in use, the recliner body can be folded to conveniently reduce storage space. The recliner body includes two first fixing frames 11, each hinged with a support plate 12. The two support plates 12 are hinged together at their closest points. A second fixing frame 13 is hinged to the right end of each of the two first fixing frames 11, and a backrest 14 is hinged between each of the two second fixing frames 13. The angles between the second fixing frames 13 and the backrest 14 and the first fixing frames 11 and support plates 12 are adjustable, allowing the postpartum woman to lie comfortably. When not in use, the two first fixing frames 11 and the second fixing frames 13 can be brought close together, and the two support plates 12 are... The two backrests 14 can be rotated to the side of the second fixed frame 13 away from the first fixed frame 11 when the closer end moves upward, so that they can be folded to reduce the storage space of the recliner. The two second fixed frames 13 are hinged to the side away from the first fixed frame 11 with a U-shaped frame 41. When in use, the U-shaped frame 41 can be rotated to the side of the second fixed frame 13 close to the first fixed frame 11. The U-shaped frame 41 is equipped with a curtain, which can conveniently cover the mother and improve her privacy. The second fixed frame 13 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 42. When the U-shaped frame 41 is rotated to the side of the second fixed frame 13 close to the first fixed frame 11, the limiting plate 42 can limit the U-shaped frame 41 so that the angle between the U-shaped frame 41 and the second fixed frame 13 is maintained at 90 degrees.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the recliner has two armrests 2, which allow the mother to support herself with her hands, thus helping her maintain stability.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, both handrails 2 are provided with adjustment parts, and the adjustment parts are connected to the second fixed frame 13 for adjusting the angle between the second fixed frame 13 and the first fixed frame 11, so that the second fixed frame 13 can be easily adjusted.

[0025] The adjustment unit includes a threaded tube 31 rotatably connected to the armrest 2. A threaded rod 32 is threadedly connected inside the threaded tube 31, and the end of the threaded rod 32 near the second fixing frame 13 extends to the outside of the armrest 2. A groove 34 is provided on the side of the second fixing frame 13 away from the backrest 14. A slider 35 is slidably connected in the groove 34, and the slider 35 is hinged to the threaded rod 32. A handle 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded tube 31 away from the slider 35. An electric push rod 36 is fixedly connected to each of the two first fixing frames 11, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 36 is connected to the armrest 2. Hand 2 is fixedly connected. Rotating the handle 33 can drive the threaded tube 31 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded tube 31 can drive the threaded rod 32 to move. When the threaded rod 32 moves, it can drive the second fixed frame 13 to rotate in cooperation with the slide groove 34 and the slider 35. This allows for easy adjustment of the angle of the second fixed frame 13, making it easier for the mother to lie down. By activating the electric push rod 36, the height of the handrail 2 can be adjusted. When the handrail 2 is at different heights, the second fixed frame 13 can be further adjusted.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, two symmetrical gooseneck tubes 51 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 41, and the two gooseneck tubes 51 are located on the left and right sides of the mother's body respectively. Mirrors 52 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two gooseneck tubes 51 away from the U-shaped frame 41. When the mother is doing kangaroo care, she does not need to hold the mirror 52 to observe the baby's complexion, which makes it easier for the mother to observe the baby's condition.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, both first fixing frames 11 are equipped with casters on their bottom surfaces, which allows the recliner body to be moved more easily when needed.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a crossbar 15 is rotatably connected to one side of the backing plate 14 away from the first fixed frame 11, and an L-shaped rod 16 is fixedly connected to the other side of the backing plate 14 away from the first fixed frame 11. The crossbar 15 and the L-shaped rod 16 have overlapping positions. The crossbar 15 can be rotated into the L-shaped rod 16 by rotation, so that the two backing plates 14 can be easily connected and positioned.

[0029] Both second fixing frames 13 have straps installed on the side closest to the first fixing frame 11, which can fix the tubes and wires in the instruments used during kangaroo care, preventing the mother from pulling on the tubes or wires when she is not paying attention, thus avoiding affecting the nursing work.

[0030] A concave pillow is installed on one side of the backrest 14 near the first fixing frame 11, and the concave pillow is located at the position of the mother's head. The mother's head and neck can be rested on the concave pillow, thereby improving the comfort of the mother's head.

[0031] An inflatable lumbar support is installed on one side of the backrest 14 near the first fixed frame 11, and the concave pillow is located at the position of the mother's waist. The inflatable lumbar support is concave in shape, so that the mother's waist can be rested on the inflatable lumbar support, thereby improving the comfort of the mother's waist.

[0032] Working principle: When not in use, the two first fixed frames 11 and the second fixed frame 13 can be moved towards each other to fold up and reduce space occupation. When in use, the two first fixed frames 11 and the second fixed frame 13 are moved away from each other to unfold. At this time, the mother can sit on the support plate 12. Then, by adjusting the angle between the second fixed frame 13 and the first fixed frame 11, the second fixed frame 13 can be tilted, and the mother can lie down on the recliner. Adjusting the angle of the second fixed frame 13 according to the actual situation can effectively improve the comfort of the mother when lying down.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
