Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of neonatal head correction, specifically a water bladder mattress for premature infants with head correction function. Background Technology

[0002] Premature infants are born early for various reasons, resulting in a short period of intrauterine growth and development. Their organ systems are not fully developed, making their subsequent growth and development highly susceptible to environmental influences. Most premature infants require prolonged treatment and care in hospitals, and prolonged forced positioning can easily lead to head deformities such as plagiocephaly and other deformities. Currently used head-correcting pillows are not very effective. Therefore, a nursing device with head-correcting capabilities is crucial for the care of premature infants. Currently, water-filled mattresses used clinically are primarily used to reduce apnea in premature infants and do not provide head-correcting functionality. Therefore, how to make water-filled mattresses combine warmth and head-correcting functions is an urgent problem that researchers in this field need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water bladder mattress for premature infants with head-correcting function, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water-filled mattress for premature infants with head-shaping function, comprising a flat, water-fillable mattress body. The mattress body is flat, and to avoid large fluctuations in height, it can be equipped with evenly spaced, uniformly distributed straps of the same material inside. The mattress body is connected to a heating mechanism for heating the water. The heating mechanism can be an existing intelligent heating system capable of temperature control. The mattress body has grooves corresponding to the head, facilitating head placement and preventing slippage. Note that these grooves should not be too deep, and the circumference of the grooves is detachably connected to a water-filled mattress mechanism that supports the head. This detachability facilitates position adjustment for better fit to the premature infant. The water-filled mattress mechanism can deform to support and warm the head. The water-filled mattress mechanism not only provides head shaping and positioning but also heats and warms the infant.

[0005] Preferably, the water bladder mechanism includes a U-shaped cushion fitted around the groove, opening towards the shoulder side, and the cushion is made of water-fillable latex material. One end of the cushion is connected to the cushion body through a right conduit, and the other end of the cushion is connected to the heating mechanism through a left conduit. The reason for having a right conduit and a left conduit on both sides is mainly to ensure the flow of internal liquid, and the connection to the heating mechanism is also to drive the flow of liquid and ensure heat.

[0006] Preferably, the pad is provided with a "U"-shaped female Velcro strap around the outside of the groove, and a male Velcro strap is provided at the lower end of the pad to achieve a detachable connection. By adjusting the position of the female and male Velcro straps, better head support and positioning can be achieved.

[0007] Preferably, the cushion is provided with a breathable sponge pad layer to increase breathability.

[0008] Preferably, the heating mechanism includes a square cavity and a controller. The cavity has a water pump at its inlet, and the water pump is connected to the pad via an inlet pipe. A left conduit is connected to the inlet pipe, which is mainly to facilitate the extraction of water from the pad, ensuring liquid flow and maintaining temperature. The other end of the cavity is connected to the other end of the pad via an outlet pipe. The cavity contains a heating element and a temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to both the heating element and the water pump. The controller, temperature sensor, water pump, and heating element are existing and mature technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0009] Preferably, the cavity also includes a partition plate disposed within the cavity. The partition plate is located near the liquid outlet and is provided with water-permeable holes evenly distributed on it. The partition plate is mainly for facilitating the mixing of heated water to achieve a more uniform temperature. The two ends of the partition plate are bent into an arc shape towards the liquid outlet to reduce resistance.

[0010] Preferably, the middle part of the partition is fixedly connected to the cavity, and both ends can swing and stir with the liquid to improve the mixing effect.

[0011] Preferably, the partition is made of elastic plastic, which is tough and can swing at both ends when the flow rate is high, thereby improving the mixing effect.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The pad is filled with water, which flows continuously under the action of a water pump to ensure constant temperature and comfort. The groove restricts the premature baby's head from moving too much and keeps it in place. The pad and pillow can be adjusted in position and shape by using female and male Velcro to support and limit the head, thus achieving head correction. By turning the head to the desired side and then supporting it with the pad, the force is different, and the subsequent growth and development will be different, thus achieving correction.

[0014] 2. The pillow is filled with warm water, which is connected to the mattress body, making it warmer;

[0015] 3. The partition makes it easier for the heated water to mix, resulting in a more uniform water temperature. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figs. 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution for a preterm infant water bladder mattress with head-shaping function: A preterm infant water bladder mattress with head-shaping function includes a flat pad 1 that can be filled with water. The pad 1 is flat, and to avoid large fluctuations in height, the interior can be evenly spaced with pull straps of the same material. The pad 1 is connected to a heating mechanism for heating the water. The heating mechanism can use existing intelligent heating that can control the temperature. The pad 1 is provided with a groove 2 corresponding to the head, which facilitates the placement of the head and prevents it from slipping. Note that this groove should not be too deep. The circumference of the groove 2 is detachably connected to a water bladder mechanism that can support the head. The detachability is for easy adjustment of the position to better fit the preterm infant. The water bladder mechanism can deform to support and keep the head warm. The water bladder mechanism can not only shape and position the head, but also provide heating and warmth.

[0023] The water bladder mechanism includes a "U"-shaped cushion 3 that fits around the groove 2 and opens towards the shoulder. The cushion 3 is made of water-fillable latex material. One end of the cushion 3 is connected to the pad body 1 through the right conduit 4, and the other end of the cushion 3 is connected to the heating mechanism through the left conduit 5. The reason for having the right conduit 4 and the left conduit 5 on both sides is to ensure the flow of internal liquid. The connection to the heating mechanism is also to drive the flow of liquid and ensure heat.

[0024] The cushion 1 has a U-shaped female Velcro strap 6 surrounding the outside of the groove 2, and a male Velcro strap is correspondingly provided at the lower end of the pillow 3 for detachable connection. The position of the female and male Velcro straps can be adjusted to achieve better head support and positioning. The pillow 3 has a breathable sponge padding layer to increase breathability.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the heating mechanism includes a square cavity 7 and a controller. The inlet of the cavity 7 is equipped with a water pump 8, which is connected to the pad 1 via an inlet pipe 9. The left conduit 5 is connected to the inlet pipe 9, which is mainly to facilitate the extraction of water from the pad 3, facilitate liquid flow, and maintain the temperature. The other end of the cavity 7 is connected to the other end of the pad 1 via an outlet pipe. The cavity 7 is equipped with a heating tube 10 and a temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to the heating tube 10 and the water pump 8. The controller, temperature sensor, water pump 8, and heating tube 10 are existing technologies and are relatively mature, so they will not be described in detail. Of course, other intelligent water heating methods can also be used.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the system also includes a baffle 11 disposed within the cavity 7. The baffle 11 is located near the liquid outlet and has evenly distributed water-permeable holes. The baffle 11 primarily facilitates the mixing of heated water, resulting in a more uniform temperature. Both ends of the baffle 11 are curved towards the liquid outlet to reduce resistance. Preferably, the middle of the baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the cavity 7, while both ends can swing and stir with the liquid, improving the mixing effect. Preferably, the baffle 11 is made of elastic plastic, possessing toughness, allowing it to swing at both ends when the flow rate is high, further enhancing the mixing effect.

[0027] Working principle: The pad 1 is filled with water, which flows continuously under the action of the water pump 8 to ensure constant temperature and comfort. The groove 2 restricts the premature infant's head from moving too much and keeps it in place. The pillow 3 can be adjusted in position and shape through the cooperation of the female Velcro 6 and the male Velcro to support and limit the head, thereby achieving head correction. The head is turned to the desired side and then supported by the pillow 3. This different force will result in different growth and development, thus achieving correction.

[0028] The pillow 3 is filled with warm water and is connected to the cushion body 1, making it even warmer;

[0029] The baffle 11 is more conducive to the mixing of heated water, resulting in a more uniform water temperature.
