Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthopedic nursing technology, and in particular to a T-shaped pillow. Background Technology

[0002] In orthopedics, hip replacement surgery involves implanting metal parts into the body to form an artificial joint through contact surfaces at the femoral neck and acetabulum. For patients who have undergone hip replacement surgery, a trapezoidal pillow is used in postoperative care. This pillow is placed between the legs to prevent external rotation, adduction, and joint dislocation. Existing trapezoidal pillows include... Figure 1 As shown, the trapezoidal pillow is inserted directly between the legs;

[0003] In actual use, although the trapezoidal pillow can be adjusted to a suitable position with the help of caregivers at the beginning, it is easy for the patient to slide due to the legs clamping it or the patient's movements. When the caregiver is not around, the patient cannot adjust it by themselves, which directly affects the effectiveness of the trapezoidal pillow. Therefore, a T-shaped pillow is needed to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where patients cannot adjust the position of the trapezoidal pillow between their legs on their own, and to propose a T-shaped pillow.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] Design a T-shaped pillow, including a trapezoidal pillow, on which a second baffle is provided. The second baffle and the trapezoidal pillow together form a T-shaped structure. A base plate is vertically fixed on the second baffle. Two connecting ropes are symmetrically and pass through the second baffle, and each connecting rope is tied with a knot.

[0007] Preferably, both connecting ropes are equipped with pull rings.

[0008] Preferably, an adjustment mechanism is provided between the second abutment plate and the trapezoidal pillow.

[0009] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes a first stop plate, which is in contact with the trapezoidal pillow. A threaded rod is rotatably provided on the first stop plate, and the threaded rod is threaded and passes through the second stop plate.

[0010] Preferably, a handwheel is fixed to the end of the threaded rod away from the first stop plate.

[0011] Preferably, a limit mechanism is fixed on the second stop plate.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting plate, which is fixed to the second abutment plate. Multiple pulleys are fixed on the limiting plate, and all of the multiple pulleys are in contact with the trapezoidal pillow.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting plate has an inverted L-shaped structure.

[0014] The T-shaped pillow proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: When using the T-shaped pillow, the patient can pull the two connecting ropes with both hands to move the second stop plate and the trapezoidal pillow. When the caregiver is not around, the patient can adjust the position of the trapezoidal pillow between his / her legs to ensure the effectiveness of the trapezoidal pillow and thus facilitate the patient's postoperative recovery.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Refer to Figure 2-5 A T-shaped pillow includes a trapezoidal pillow 1, on which a second baffle 5 is disposed. The second baffle 5 and the trapezoidal pillow 1 together form a T-shaped structure. The larger end of the trapezoidal pillow 1 is in contact with the second baffle 5. When the second baffle 5 moves, the second baffle 5 can push the trapezoidal pillow 1 to move, and the trapezoidal pillow 1 and the second baffle 5 can be separated to facilitate cleaning of the trapezoidal pillow 1 and ensure the cleanliness of the trapezoidal pillow 1.

[0023] The second stop plate 5 is vertically fixed to the base plate 11. The cooperation between the second stop plate 5 and the base plate 11 allows the second stop plate 5 to maintain a vertical position and not tip over when placed on the bed. Two connecting ropes 6 are symmetrically and continuously installed on the second stop plate 5. Each connecting rope 6 is tied with a knot 7 and a pull ring 8 is tied to both connecting ropes 6. By changing the position of the knot 7, the distance between the pull ring 8 and the second stop plate 5 can be adjusted to meet the needs of patients with different arm lengths.

[0024] When in use, the caregiver inserts the trapezoidal pillow 1 between the patient's legs, then places the trapezoidal pillow 1 and the second baffle 5 on the bed, ensuring contact between the second baffle 5 and the trapezoidal pillow 1. The patient then pulls the two loops 8 with both hands, using the two connecting ropes 6 to move the second baffle 5 and the trapezoidal pillow 1. The patient can then move the trapezoidal pillow 1 to the most suitable position between their legs. Furthermore, during subsequent use, when the position of the trapezoidal pillow 1 shifts downwards, the patient can adjust its position between their legs themselves when the caregiver is not present, ensuring the effectiveness of the trapezoidal pillow 1 and thus facilitating the patient's postoperative recovery.

[0025] Example 2: In Example 1, because the second baffle 5 needs to move the trapezoidal pillow 1, and when the trapezoidal pillow 1 is inserted between the legs, the feet need to extend beyond the trapezoidal pillow 1. The second baffle 5 obstructs the feet, requiring the legs to be spread wider to insert the trapezoidal pillow 1 between the legs. Since the patient has just undergone surgery, this is difficult to achieve, directly affecting the use of the T-shaped pillow. (Refer to...) Figure 2-5 As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the difference from embodiment 1 is that an adjustment mechanism is provided between the second baffle 5 and the trapezoidal pillow 1. The adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the second baffle 5 and the trapezoidal pillow 1 so that when the patient's feet just touch the second baffle 5, the trapezoidal pillow 1 is inserted between the legs in the most suitable position, which not only ensures the use effect of the trapezoidal pillow 1, but also does not affect the patient's feet.

[0026] The adjustment mechanism includes a first stop plate 2, which is in contact with the trapezoidal pillow 1. A threaded rod 3 is rotatably provided on the first stop plate 2. The threaded rod 3 is threaded and passes through the second stop plate 5. A handwheel 4 is fixed on the end of the threaded rod 3 away from the first stop plate 2. By turning the threaded rod 3, the distance between the first stop plate 2 and the second stop plate 5 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the trapezoidal pillow 1 and the second stop plate 5, so that the patient's feet are not affected by the second stop plate 5.

[0027] The second stop plate 5 is fixed with a limiting mechanism, which includes a limiting plate 9. The limiting plate 9 has an inverted L-shaped structure and is fixed on the second stop plate 5. Multiple pulleys 10 are fixed on the limiting plate 9. All multiple pulleys 10 are in contact with the trapezoidal pillow 1. When the moving first stop plate 2 pushes the trapezoidal pillow 1, it is restricted by the limiting plate 9 and will not allow the trapezoidal pillow 1 to lift up between the legs, thereby ensuring that the trapezoidal pillow 1 is inserted in the legs.

[0028] Upon first use, the caregiver inserts the trapezoidal pillow 1 into the most suitable position between the patient's legs. At this time, the position of the second stop plate 5 is moved so that the patient's feet come into contact with the second stop plate 5. Then, the handwheel 4 drives the threaded rod 3 to rotate on the second stop plate 5, thereby moving the first stop plate 2 until the first stop plate 2 and the trapezoidal pillow 1 come into contact. At this point, the position between the second stop plate 5 and the first stop plate 2 is most suitable for the patient. In subsequent uses, when the caregiver is not present, the lowered trapezoidal pillow 1 pushes the second stop plate 5 away from the patient's feet through the first stop plate 2. The patient can then use the two pull rings 8 to push the trapezoidal pillow 1 back to its original position between the legs.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
