[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0020] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a prone position pillow, which includes a pillow body 1. The pillow body 1 has a positioning groove 104 for supporting the patient's head. The center end of the positioning groove 104 has a through hole 202 for installing an oxygen mask. The pillow body 1 has a strip groove 101 for fixing the trachea along its extension direction. The through hole 202 also has grooves 201 on both sides. The grooves 201 cooperate with the strip groove 101 to install the trachea.
[0022] It can be explained that in actual application, the pillow body 1 is placed on one side of the nursing bed, and the patient lies prone on the nursing bed. Before use, the oxygen mask is first installed in the through hole 202. At the same time, the oxygen tube connected to the oxygen mask is embedded in the groove 201 and the slot 101. Then, the end of the oxygen tube is connected to the ventilator. When in use, the patient's face is facing the pillow body 1, and the head is embedded in the positioning groove 104 so that the oxygen mask is placed over the patient's mouth and nose. The ventilator is turned on, and the ventilator delivers the prepared oxygen to the oxygen mask through the oxygen tube, which facilitates the patient's respiratory treatment. Compared with the prior art, this embodiment makes the patient's breathing smoother and the treatment effect better by setting the positioning groove 104 that can fix the oxygen mask.
[0023] As a further embodiment, the pillow body 1 is provided with a number of positioning buckles for fixing the airway. The positioning buckle includes a connecting strip 102 with one end sewn to the pillow body 1, and the other end crosses the groove 101 and is attached to the Velcro provided on the pillow body 1.
[0024] Please see Figure 3 The bottom of the pillow body 1 is provided with an adjustment airbag 103 for adjusting the height of the pillow body 1. The adjustment airbag 103 is connected to the first inflation mechanism. Specifically, in actual use, in order to adapt to the patient's prone position, the height of the pillow body 1 needs to be adjusted. During adjustment, air is supplied to the adjustment airbag 103 through the first inflation mechanism, so that the adjustment airbag 103 expands and increases.
[0025] The first inflation mechanism includes a first air inlet pipe 3 connected to the adjusting air bladder 103. The end of the first air inlet pipe 3 is connected to the first inflation bladder 301, and the other end of the first inflation bladder 301 is connected to the first air inlet 302. A one-way valve for air intake is provided between the first air inlet 302 and the first inflation bladder 301, and a one-way valve for air exhaust is provided between the first air inlet pipe 3 and the first inflation bladder 301. It can be explained that when the adjusting air bladder 103 is inflated, by repeatedly pressing the first inflation bladder 301, the first inflation bladder 301 draws outside air into the first inflation bladder 301 under air pressure, and finally inputs it into the adjusting air bladder 103 through the first air inlet pipe 3, thereby causing the adjusting air bladder 103 to expand and increase, the pillow body 1 to rise, and an exhaust hole is also provided on one side of the adjusting air bladder 103 to facilitate the discharge of gas in the adjusting air bladder 103, so that the pillow body 1 descends.
[0026] Please see Figure 4 The pillow body 1 is provided with several sets of limiting airbags 2, and the limiting airbags 2 are connected to the second inflation mechanism. Specifically, in actual use, the pillow body 1 can also play the role of lumbar support and support the patient's waist. At this time, the limiting airbags 2 are inflated by the second inflation mechanism, so that the limiting airbags 2 expand in volume to clamp the patient's waist.
[0027] The second inflation mechanism includes two sets of opposing first air pipes 5. The first air pipes 5 are connected to two sets of limiting airbags 2 on the same side via second air pipes 501. The first air pipes 5 on both sides are connected via third air pipes 502. One first air pipe 5 is connected to a second air inlet pipe 4. The end of the second air inlet pipe 4 is connected to the second inflation airbag 401. The other side of the second inflation airbag 401 is provided with a second air inlet 402. A one-way valve for air intake is provided between the second air inlet 402 and the second inflation airbag 401. A one-way valve for air exhaust is provided between the second air inlet pipe 4 and the second inflation airbag 401. It should be noted that when the limiting airbag 2 is inflated, by repeatedly pressing the second inflation airbag 401, outside air enters the first air pipe 5 through the second air inlet 402 and the second air inlet pipe 4, and then enters the limiting airbag 2 through the second air pipe 501. The limiting airbag 2 is also provided with an exhaust hole to facilitate the contraction and reset of the limiting airbag 2.
[0028] The working principle of the prone pillow provided by this utility model is as follows: Before use, firstly, the oxygen mask is installed in the through hole 202. At the same time, the oxygen tube connected to the oxygen mask is embedded in the groove 201 and the slot 101. Then, the end of the oxygen tube is connected to the ventilator. When in use, the patient's face faces the pillow body 1, and the head is embedded in the positioning groove 104, so that the oxygen mask covers the patient's mouth and nose. The ventilator is started, and the ventilator delivers the prepared oxygen to the oxygen mask through the oxygen tube. When the regulating air bag 103 is inflated, by repeatedly pressing the first air bag 301, the first air bag 301 draws outside air into the first air bag 301 under the action of air pressure. Finally, it is input into the regulating air bag 103 through the first air inlet pipe 3, thereby causing the regulating air bag 103 to expand and increase, and the pillow body 1 to rise. The regulating air bag 103 is also provided with an exhaust hole on one side to facilitate the discharge of gas in the regulating air bag 103, so that the pillow body 1 falls.
[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
