Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing technology, and in particular to a newborn headrest with shoulder pads for use in an incubator. Background Technology
[0002] Premature infants or newborns with respiratory disorders require ventilator-assisted treatment in incubators. Incubators can simulate the environment of the mother's womb, maintaining stable temperature and humidity, providing suitable living conditions for vulnerable newborns and reducing their energy consumption.
[0003] When providing assisted treatment to newborns using incubators and ventilators, a head support frame is typically installed inside the incubator, such as the newborn head frame with anti-pressure sore pillow pad (publication number CN 207693815 U). This frame not only secures the newborn's head but also assists in the installation of the ventilator tubing. In practice, the infant is placed in a supine position with a small towel under their shoulders to ensure the external auditory canal is level with the shoulder, facilitating the insertion and use of the ventilator tubing. However, traditional ventilator tubing installation methods are complex, requiring significant time for setup and occupying considerable space within the incubator. This impacts the placement of other equipment and the operation of medical staff. Furthermore, due to the adjustable height of the newborn's shoulder pad, the previous method of using a small towel cannot precisely control the height, making it difficult to meet the different height requirements of various infants. This hinders the effective insertion and use of the ventilator tubing, increasing the workload for medical staff and potentially affecting the treatment outcome for the newborn. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a newborn headrest with shoulder pads for use in an incubator, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A newborn headrest with shoulder pads for use in an incubator includes a flexible metal hose and a shoulder pad. A first tube seat is fixedly installed at one end of the flexible metal hose, and a second tube seat is fixedly installed at the other end of the flexible metal hose. A clamp is fixedly installed at the end of the first tube seat opposite to the flexible metal hose, and a tube hook is fixedly installed at the end of the second tube seat opposite to the flexible metal hose. The shoulder pad also includes a base plate, on which a silicone pad is fixedly installed. A support airbag is movably connected between the base plate and the silicone pad, and an air valve is fixedly installed at one end of the support airbag.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamp further includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate. A fixing seat is fixedly installed on one side of the first clamping plate, and a rubber pad is fixedly installed on the first clamping plate located below the fixing seat. Two positioning plates are fixedly installed on the second clamping plate relative to the first clamping plate. A rubber pad is also fixedly installed on the second clamping plate located below the positioning plates, and the two positioning plates are respectively inserted through one side of the fixing seat.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, two connecting screws are inserted and installed inside the second clamping plate, and one end of the connecting screw is threaded into the fixing seat. The cooperation of the first clamping plate, the second clamping plate, and the connecting screws enables the universal metal hose to be quickly clamped and installed on the structure inside the incubator or on the structure of the ventilator inside the incubator.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a cloth strip is movably connected between the second clamping plate and the base plate.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air valve has an inflation / deflation chamber, and a sealing hole is formed at the top of the inflation / deflation chamber. The inflation / deflation chamber and the sealing hole are connected, and the inner diameter of the inflation / deflation chamber is larger than the inner diameter of the sealing hole. A gasket is fixedly installed below the inflation / deflation chamber. A sealing tube is inserted between the inflation / deflation chamber and the sealing hole. The sealing tube is T-shaped, with its large end being a sealing plug placed inside the inflation / deflation chamber. The lateral dimension of the sealing plug is smaller than the inner diameter of the inflation / deflation chamber. The small end is a pipe section integrally connected to the sealing plug, with the opening of the pipe section facing the sealing hole. The pipe section has multiple air holes. An internally threaded pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing tube. A screw is internally threaded into the internally threaded pipe. A compression spring is also inserted between the large end of the sealing tube and the gasket. The cooperation between the sealing tube and the compression spring can move the air valve towards the gasket under external gas pressure, thereby allowing gas to enter the support airbag through the multiple air holes inside the sealing tube.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, an adjusting ring is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the air valve, a shaft bracket is fixedly mounted inside the adjusting ring, and a rectangular hole is opened in the middle of the shaft bracket.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a square rod is fixedly installed on the upper end of the screw, and a limit block is fixedly installed on the upper end of the square rod. The square rod is also inserted into a rectangular hole in the shaft bracket. The diameter of the screw is greater than the diagonal length of the rectangular hole. The cooperation of the adjusting ring, shaft bracket, internal threaded tube, screw, and square rod can achieve precise release of gas in the support airbag after excessive gas is filled into the support airbag, thereby fine-tuning the height of the silicone pad.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] In this invention, the universal metal hose can be quickly installed in the incubator using a clamp without taking up too much space inside the incubator, thus facilitating the installation of ventilator tubing.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a newborn headrest with shoulder pad structure for use in an incubator. The head fixation frame can adopt the existing technology and includes a universal metal hose 1 and a shoulder pad 2. A first tube seat 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the universal metal hose 1, and a second tube seat 4 is fixedly installed at the other end of the universal metal hose 1. A clamp 5 is fixedly installed at the end of the first tube seat 3 opposite to the universal metal hose 1, and a tube hook 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the second tube seat 4 opposite to the universal metal hose 1. The shoulder pad 2 also includes a base plate 7, on which a silicone pad 8 is fixedly installed. A support airbag 9 is movably connected between the base plate 7 and the silicone pad 8, and an air valve 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the support airbag 9.
[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the clamp 5 also includes a first clamping plate 11 and a second clamping plate 14. A fixing seat 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the first clamping plate 11. A rubber pad 13 is fixedly installed on the first clamping plate 11 below the fixing seat 12. Two positioning plates 15 are fixedly installed on the second clamping plate 14 relative to the first clamping plate 11. A rubber pad 13 is also fixedly installed on the second clamping plate 14 below the positioning plates 15. The two positioning plates 15 are respectively inserted through one side of the fixing seat 12. Two connecting screws 16 are inserted through the second clamping plate 14, and one end of the connecting screw 16 is threaded into the fixing seat 12. The cooperation of the first clamping plate 11, the second clamping plate 14, and the connecting screws 16 can quickly clamp and install the universal metal hose 1 on the structure inside the incubator or on the structure of the ventilator inside the incubator. A cloth strap 17 is movably connected between the second clamping plate 14 and the base plate 7.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figures 3-4 As shown, the air valve 10 has an air filling / discharging chamber 28, and a sealing hole 27 is provided at the top of the air filling / discharging chamber 28. The air filling / discharging chamber 28 and the sealing hole 27 are connected. The inner diameter of the air filling / discharging chamber 28 is larger than the inner diameter of the sealing hole 27, thus forming a convex shape between their inner cavities. A gasket 18 is fixedly installed below the air filling / discharging chamber 28. A sealing tube 19 is inserted between the air filling / discharging chamber 28 and the sealing hole 27. The sealing tube 19 is T-shaped, and its large end is a sealing plug. Inside the inflation / deflation chamber 28, the lateral dimension of the sealing plug is smaller than the inner diameter of the inflation / deflation chamber 28; a seal is formed when the sealing plug is in contact with the top of the inflation / deflation chamber 28; the small end is a pipe section integrally connected to the sealing plug, the open end of the pipe section faces the sealing hole 27, and the pipe section has multiple air holes; an internally threaded pipe 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the sealing pipe 19, and a screw 22 is internally threaded to the internal thread of the internally threaded pipe 21; and a large end of the sealing pipe 19 is also inserted between the large end and the gasket 18. Compression spring 20; The cooperation between sealing tube 19 and compression spring 20 can move sealing tube 19 towards gasket 18 under external gas pressure. At this time, the sealing plug and the inflation / deflation chamber 28 cannot form a seal, so that gas enters the support airbag 9 through multiple air holes in the section of sealing tube 19. Adjusting ring 23 is rotatably installed on the upper end of air valve 10. Shaft bracket 24 is fixedly installed in the adjusting ring 23, and a rectangular hole is opened in the middle of the shaft bracket 24. A square rod 25 is fixedly installed on the upper end of screw 22. Limit block 26 is fixedly installed on the upper end of square rod 25, and square rod 25 is also inserted into the rectangular hole in shaft bracket 24. The diameter of screw 22 is larger than the diagonal length of rectangular hole. The cooperation between adjusting ring 23, shaft bracket 24, internal thread tube 21, screw 22, and square rod 25 can achieve precise release of gas in support airbag 9 after excessive gas is filled into support airbag 9, thereby fine-tuning the height of silicone pad 8.
[0024] It should be noted that this utility model is a newborn head frame with a shoulder pad structure for use in an incubator. When laying the ventilator tubing, the first clamp 11 and the second clamp 14 can be inserted into the incubator or onto the structure of the ventilator inside the incubator. The two connecting screws 16 are then turned in sequence, so that one end of each connecting screw 16 is turned into the corresponding screw groove in the fixing seat 12. This allows the ends of the two connecting screws 16 to move the second clamp 14 toward the first clamp 11. The universal metal hose 1 is then clamped and installed in the incubator by the first clamp 11 and the second clamp 14. Subsequently, the universal metal hose 1 can be adjusted to a suitable angle and height by bending it. Then, the ventilator tubing is laid along the outside of the universal metal hose 1 and fixed with straps, so that the ventilator tubing is partially hung on the tube hook 6.
[0025] When adjusting the height of the silicone pad 8, the pipe of the external air supply device can be inserted into one end of the air valve 10 to inject gas into the air valve 10. The gas pressure pushes the sealing tube 19 towards the gasket 18, thus compressing the compression spring 20. This causes the section of the sealing tube 19 with multiple air holes to move from the sealing hole 27 into the inflation / deflation chamber 28 inside the air valve 10. Gas supplied by air pumps or other air supply equipment can then enter the inflation / deflation chamber 28 through the air holes in the sealing tube 19 and through the through hole in the middle of the gasket 18 into the support airbag 9, injecting gas into the support airbag 9. This causes the support airbag 9 to inflate and lift the silicone pad 8, thus adjusting the height of the silicone pad 8. Once the silicone pad 8 reaches the appropriate height, the external air supply device stops supplying gas, and the sealing tube 19 returns to its initial position under the action of the compression spring 20. At this point, the section of the sealing tube 19 is located inside the sealing hole 27, and a seal is formed between the sealing plug and the inflation / deflation chamber 28. The gas inside the support airbag 9 must not leak from the inflation / deflation chamber 28. To prevent the square rod 25 from accidentally contacting the sealing tube 19 and causing gas leakage, in the initial position, the screw 22 extends a certain distance into the internal threaded tube 21 so that the limiting block 26 is close to the shaft bracket 24. When the silicone pad 8 is high, the adjusting ring 23 can be rotated, and the adjusting ring 23 synchronously drives the shaft bracket 24 to rotate, which in turn causes the shaft bracket 24 to drive the square rod 25 to rotate through the internal rectangular hole. Thus, the square rod 25 drives... The screw 22 rotates inside the internally threaded tube 21, causing the upper end of the screw 22 to abut against the lower end of the shaft bracket 24 and push the internally threaded tube 21 downward. This causes the internally threaded tube 21 to move the sealing tube 19 downward, so that the part of the sealing tube 19 with air holes moves slowly and uniformly into the inflation / deflation chamber 28. The gas in the support airbag 9 is released from the inflation / deflation chamber 28 through the air holes in the tube section into the sealing hole 27. This allows for the precise release of gas from the support airbag 9 via the air valve 10, thus adjusting the height of the silicone pad 8.
