[0025] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a protective backrest pillow for ankylosing spondylitis, including a base 1. A lower adjustment air cushion 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. Positioning grooves 3 are equidistantly formed on the surface of the lower adjustment air cushion 2. A neck pillow roller 4 is installed at the top of one end of the lower adjustment air cushion 2. A back pillow roller 5 is equidistantly installed in the middle of the lower adjustment air cushion 2. An upper adjustment air cushion 6 is fitted to the surface of the middle of the lower adjustment air cushion 2. Both the neck pillow roller 4 and the back pillow roller 5 are movably embedded in the positioning grooves 3. The upper adjustment air cushion 6 is tightly attached to the surfaces of the neck pillow roller 4 and the back pillow roller 5. An installation groove 7 is formed at one end of the bottom of the base 1. A lower adjustment air pump 8 is fixedly installed inside the installation groove 7. An upper adjustment air pump 9 is fixedly installed inside the installation groove 7 at a position next to the lower adjustment air pump 8. A lower air supply pipe 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the lower adjustment air pump 8. One end of the upper adjustable air pump 9 is fixedly connected to the upper air supply pipe 11, one end of the lower air supply pipe 10 extends into the interior of the lower adjustable air pad 2, and one end of the upper air supply pipe 11 extends into the interior of the upper adjustable air pad 6. Through the combined use of the lower air supply pipe 10 and the lower adjustable air pump 8, the degree of expansion of the lower adjustable air pad 2 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the degree of concave arc formed by the back pillow roller 5 and the neck pillow roller 4, adapting to patients with different degrees of kyphosis, providing personalized support, thereby reducing pain and improving sleep quality. At the same time, through the combined use of the upper adjustable air pump 9 and the upper air supply pipe 11, the inflation volume and thickness of the upper adjustable air pad 6 can be adjusted, changing the distance between the neck pillow roller 4 and the back pillow roller 5 and the patient's back, providing appropriate soft and hard support for patient care, improving patient comfort, with precise control and easier operation.

[0026] The base 1 has symmetrically spaced positioning holes 12 on both sides. A fitted cloth bag 13 is placed on the surface of the upper adjusting air cushion 6. A storage groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the fitted cloth bag 13. A protective cotton pad 15 is embedded inside the fitted cloth bag 13. Connecting strips 16 are symmetrically fixed to both ends of the fitted cloth bag 13. Positioning blocks 17 are symmetrically and movably installed on both sides of the base 1. A locking screw 18 is installed in the middle of the positioning block 17. The connecting strip 16 is connected to the positioning block 17. The bottom of the locking screw 18 extends into one of the positioning holes 12. The combined use of the cloth bag 13 and the storage slot 14 allows for the insertion of ice packs and hot compresses, providing a storage space for patients to use hot or cold compresses, thus improving the rehabilitation effect of patient care. At the same time, the protective cotton pad 15 provides heat insulation and protection, alleviating the direct stimulation of the ice packs and hot compresses on the patient's back and preventing the patient's back from being frostbitten or burned. The combined use of the positioning block 17 and the positioning hole 12 makes it easy to adjust the position of the cloth bag 13, so that the placement of the hot compresses and ice packs can be more accurately aimed at the uncomfortable areas on the patient's back.

[0027] A mounting base 19 is fixedly installed at one end of the base 1. A controller 20 is fixedly installed inside the mounting base 19. A protective plate 21 is installed on the top of the mounting base 19. Protrusions 22 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the protective plate 21. A gap is left between the edge of the controller 20 and the inner wall of the mounting base 19. The bottom of the protective plate 21 is inserted into the gap. The signal output terminal of the controller 20 is connected to the signal input terminals of the upper regulating air pump 9 and the lower regulating air pump 8. The controller 20 makes it more convenient to control and adjust the patient when lying down for nursing care. The operation is simple. When not in use, the protective plate 21 can protect the controller 20 by covering and isolating it to prevent accidental contact and damage.

[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the patient uses the protrusion 22 to remove the protective plate 21, so that the controller 20 is exposed. The patient's back is pressed against the surface of the upper adjustment air cushion 6. The patient's hands can operate the controller 20. According to the degree of spinal deformity and their own care needs, the lower adjustment air pump 8 is adjusted. The lower air supply pipe 10 is used to adjust the air cushion 2 to inflate, so that the lower adjustment air cushion 2 is expanded and pushed up, thereby pushing the back pillow roller 5 to bulge upward, changing the degree of the concave arc of the back pillow roller 5, making it more in line with the patient's back deformity.

[0029] Initially, the upper adjustment air cushion 6 is deflated, allowing the patient's back to be in close contact with the neck pillow roller 4 and back pillow roller 5. The patient's back is supported by the neck pillow roller 4 and back pillow roller 5, which feels relatively firm. The upper adjustment air pump 9 and upper air supply pipe 11 inflate the upper adjustment air cushion 6, causing it to gradually expand and lift the patient's back, moving it away from the neck pillow roller 4 and back pillow roller 5. The patient's back is then supported by the upper adjustment air cushion 6, providing a softer support. The system can be adjusted according to the patient's comfort needs for back care.

[0030] If the patient needs to apply heat or ice to their back, insert the heat pack or ice pack into the storage slot 14, tighten the locking screw 18, adjust the position of the positioning block 17, align the middle part with the corresponding positioning hole 12, and fix it with the locking screw 18. This ensures that the cloth bag 13 and the placed heat pack or ice pack are aligned with the area on the patient's back that needs care, and the protective cotton pad 15 is located between the patient's back and the heat pack or ice pack, protecting the patient's back and preventing the patient's back from coming into too close contact with the heat pack or ice pack.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
