Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of maternal and infant products technology, and in particular to a pillow for newborns. Background Technology

[0002] A newborn's head is relatively soft, and their bones develop rapidly. In addition, their neck muscles are not fully developed, making them easily deformed by external forces. A newborn's neck is very soft and straight, and using a regular pillow can easily compress their cervical spine. The main function of a newborn pillow is to prevent the newborn's head from turning and to avoid compressing their cervical spine. As newborns grow, they have enough strength to move their heads and knock the pillow off, especially about an hour after falling asleep. Therefore, mothers must frequently monitor and care for their newborns to prevent the pillow from slipping off and causing accidents. Currently, there are various newborn anti-flat head pillows on the market, which add a support pillow on each side. However, the length of the bridge pillow between the two support pillows is fixed. Because newborns' heads vary in size, their heads can still turn left and right while lying on the bridge pillow, and cannot be precisely controlled within a certain length, which has drawbacks in use.

[0003] Chinese patent CN219962457U discloses a newborn head-fixing pillow, which effectively solves the problem that existing newborn head pillows have simple structures, cannot be adjusted according to the size of the newborn's head, and cannot provide good protection for the newborn's head in actual use. This utility model includes a pillow body, an adjustable protective pad fixedly connected around the pillow body, a pad block inside the pillow body at the center of the protective pad, two sets of symmetrically distributed connecting balls fixedly connected to the front side of the pillow body, a first strap fixedly connected to the two connecting balls, a detachable limiting pad connected to the front side of the two connecting balls, and a second strap fixedly connected to the limiting pad.

[0004] However, in practical applications, it has been found that although the positioning pad and the strap can solve the problem of the baby's head turning on its own, the baby is not suitable to sleep on the same side for a long time. If the time is too long, an adult needs to help adjust it. The above technical solutions require untying the strap and adjusting the positioning pad during the adjustment process, which is cumbersome. This can easily wake the baby and affect the baby's sleep. Therefore, a simpler and easier-to-use pillow is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a newborn pillow that can effectively limit the newborn's head from shifting during sleep, facilitate the adjustment of the baby's sleeping position, and make the pillow easy and quick to operate during the adjustment process.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A newborn pillow includes a support base for placing the pillow stably on a bed and a surface layer for conforming to and supporting the newborn's head. A positioning interlayer for defining and adjusting the newborn's sleeping position is provided between the support base and the surface layer. The positioning interlayer includes a breathable outer cover, an outer ring support tube for defining the pillow's outline, and an annular soft pad for conforming to the newborn's head outline. A plurality of connecting tubes are provided between the annular soft pad and the outer ring support tube. A cavity is formed between the outer ring support tube, the annular soft pad, and the connecting tubes. A first airbag and a second airbag are respectively located on either side of the head within the cavity. A first hand-operated valve and a second hand-operated valve are respectively connected to the first and second airbags.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the first and second airbags are fitted and connected to the annular soft pad.

[0009] Furthermore, the annular soft pad has several ventilation holes, and the part of the annular soft pad near the newborn's neck has an arc-shaped groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning interlayer is connected to a limiting cushion for synchronously supporting the newborn's body, the limiting cushion including a first cushion and a second cushion located on both sides of the newborn's body.

[0011] Furthermore, the first cushion includes a first outer cover that contacts the newborn's body and a third airbag for adjusting the height of the first cushion, the third airbag being connected to the first airbag; the second cushion includes a second outer cover that contacts the newborn's body and a fourth airbag for adjusting the height of the second cushion, the fourth airbag being connected to the second airbag.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface layer includes a fabric cover connected to a breathable outer cover of the positioning interlayer, and the fabric cover is filled with a filling material.

[0013] Furthermore, the pillow, which consists of the base pad, positioning interlayer, and surface layer, is equipped with a replaceable pillowcase.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] In practical use, a support base is installed. The bottom of the base is flat, making it easy to fit the bed surface and preventing movement. The surface layer conforms to the newborn's head and is made of soft materials that meet baby product standards. A positioning interlayer is installed between the two. The outer ring of support tubing and the ring-shaped soft pad are connected by connecting tubes to form the general outline of the positioning interlayer. The first and second airbags are used to adjust the pillow height. When the newborn is sleeping on their left side, the first hand-operated valve inflates the first airbag, which is located behind the newborn when sleeping on their right side, raising the right side of the pillow and providing a limiting support effect on the back of the newborn's head. At the same time, the first hand-operated valve inflates the second airbag, which is located in front of the newborn's face when sleeping on their left side. Deflating the bladder lowers the left side of the pillow to a suitable position. To change the baby's sleeping position, simply reverse the steps. The entire process requires only one movement of the baby. After moving the baby, the adult can support the baby with one hand, using the air tubes (351 and 351) to adjust the pillow. This adjustment is faster than existing strap-type pillows and is more suitable for newborns' side-sleeping needs, providing more stable support and easier adjustment. It also has a longer lifespan as the baby grows. This newborn pillow effectively prevents head displacement during sleep, facilitating easy and quick adjustments. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a newborn pillow, characterized in that it includes a supporting base pad 1 for placing the pillow stably on the bed and a surface layer 2 for conforming to and supporting the newborn's head. A positioning interlayer 3 for defining and adjusting the newborn's sleeping position is provided between the supporting base pad 1 and the surface layer 2. The positioning interlayer 3 includes a breathable outer cover, an outer ring support hose 31 for defining the pillow's outline, and an annular soft pad 32 for conforming to the newborn's head outline. A plurality of connecting pipes 33 are provided between the annular soft pad 32 and the outer ring support hose 31. A cavity is formed between the outer ring support hose 31, the annular soft pad 32, and the connecting pipes 33. A first airbag 34 and a second airbag 35 are respectively provided on both sides of the head within the cavity. A first hand-operated valve 341 and a second hand-operated valve 351 are respectively connected to the first airbag 34 and the second airbag 35.

[0021] In this embodiment, a support base pad 1 is provided, with a flat bottom for easy contact with the bed surface and to prevent movement. The surface layer 2 is designed to fit the newborn's head and is made of soft material that meets the standards for baby products. A positioning interlayer 3 is provided between the two. The outer ring support tube 31 and the annular soft pad 32 are connected by a connecting tube 33 to form the approximate outline of the positioning interlayer 3. The first airbag 34 and the second airbag 35 are used to adjust the pillow height. When the newborn is sleeping on their left side, the first hand-operated valve 341 is used to inflate the first airbag 34 on the right side of the newborn (the back position when sleeping on their side), raising the height of the right side of the pillow and creating a limiting support effect on the back of the newborn's head. At the same time, the first hand-operated valve 351 is used to inflate the left side of the newborn (the front position when sleeping on their side). Deflating the second air bladder 35 lowers the left side of the pillow to a suitable position. To change the sleeping position, simply reverse the steps. The entire process requires only one movement of the baby. After movement, the adult supports the baby with one hand, and the other hand can operate the first and second hand valves 34 and 35 to adjust the pillow, thanks to the air supply tubes between the first and second hand valves 34 and 35 and the first and second air bladders 34 and 35. This is faster than using straps in existing technology. Compared to traditional baby pillows, this pillow design is more suitable for newborns' side-sleeping needs, providing more stable support and easier adjustment. It also has a longer lifespan during the baby's growth. This newborn pillow effectively prevents head displacement during sleep, facilitating easy and quick adjustments.

[0022] like Figure 3As shown, the outer surfaces of the first airbag 34 and the second airbag 35 are fitted and connected to the annular soft pad 32. In this embodiment, in order to make the entire pillow fit the newborn's head more comfortably, the outer surfaces of the first airbag 34 and the second airbag 35 are fitted and connected to the annular soft pad 32. The shape of the entire airbag is designed according to ergonomics to ensure greater comfort during use.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the annular soft pad 32 has several ventilation holes 321, and the part of the annular soft pad 32 near the newborn's neck has an arc-shaped groove 322. In this embodiment, the annular soft pad 32 is designed to fit the newborn's head in a bowl-like shape, with the diameter increasing from the bottom upwards and outwards. The part near the newborn's neck has an arc-shaped groove 322 to fit and support the newborn's neck, improving comfort. The annular soft pad 32 has several ventilation holes 321, which enhances heat dissipation during the baby's sleep and prevents the newborn from being suffocated.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the positioning interlayer 3 is connected to a limiting cushion 4 for synchronously supporting the newborn's body. The limiting cushion 4 includes a first cushion 41 and a second cushion 42 located on both sides of the newborn's body. In this embodiment, the limiting cushion 4 is provided to facilitate synchronous limiting support of the newborn's body when sleeping on their side.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the first cushion 41 includes a first outer cover 411 that contacts the newborn's body and a third airbag 412 for adjusting the height of the first cushion 41, the third airbag 412 being connected to the first airbag 34; the second cushion 42 includes a second outer cover 421 that contacts the newborn's body and a fourth airbag 422 for adjusting the height of the second cushion 42, the fourth airbag 422 being connected to the second airbag 35; in this embodiment, airbags are designed synchronously inside the first cushion 41 and the second cushion 42 to achieve synchronous limiting support for the body, increasing the newborn's sleeping comfort. Compared with the detachable connection method in the prior art, although the detachable method can also achieve left and right adjustment support, the operation is complicated. In this solution, the third airbag 412 and the fourth airbag 422 are connected to the first airbag 34 and the second airbag 35 to achieve synchronous control and adjustment, which solves the height adjustment problem while making the operation more convenient.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the surface layer 2 includes a fabric cover connected to the breathable outer cover of the positioning interlayer 3, and the fabric cover is filled with a filling material; in this embodiment, the filling material inside the fabric cover is a material such as cotton that meets the standards for baby products, which plays a role in softly protecting the baby's head.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the pillow, which consists of the base pad 1, the positioning interlayer 3, and the surface layer 2, is equipped with a replaceable pillowcase 5. In this embodiment, the pillowcase 5 includes at least two sets, one for summer use and one for winter use, so that the pillow can be used for a longer period of time.

[0028] All technical features in this embodiment can be modified in appearance according to actual needs.

[0029] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
