Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a foldable silkworm excrement medicine pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Silkworm excrement (also known as silkworm droppings) is the dried excrement of the silkworm, an insect of the Bombyx mori family. It is sweet, pungent, and warm in nature, and enters the liver, spleen, and stomach meridians. It has a variety of traditional and modern pharmacological effects.

[0003] Currently, buckwheat hull pillows are commonly used to elevate the affected limb when patients with upper limb fractures are bedridden due to the need for positional management. However, buckwheat hull pillows are too hard, and prolonged use can easily lead to skin damage or even nerve damage; buckwheat hull pillows have low plasticity and poor shaping effect, and can easily cause the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints to be suspended in the air during use; in addition, buckwheat hull pillows are not comfortable and do not have an auxiliary therapeutic effect, making their function relatively limited. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide a foldable silkworm excrement pillow. The folding structure allows for easy height adjustment, and the use of silkworm excrement as support improves patient comfort, preventing the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints from being unsupported. The injured limb rests naturally on the silkworm excrement, and external application of heat can provide therapeutic benefits, thus alleviating swelling and pain in the injured limb to some extent. This multifunctional and convenient pillow effectively solves the problems in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable silkworm excrement pillow, comprising a cloth cover, the inside of which is divided into a storage groove, a placement interlayer, and an installation groove from top to bottom. The storage groove is used to store silkworm excrement core packs, the placement interlayer is used to place a cold source or a heat source, and the installation groove contains a main latex pad. A latex pad assembly is movably provided at one bottom end of the cloth cover, allowing the main latex pad and the latex pad assembly to be folded together.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the latex pad assembly includes several foldable secondary latex pads.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bonding surfaces of two adjacent secondary latex pads when folded, as well as the bonding surfaces of the main latex pad and the adjacent secondary latex pad when folded, are all provided with corresponding hook and loop fasteners.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the cold source is an ice pack or a cold therapy patch.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the heat source is a heat pack or an electric heating element.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This utility model presents a foldable silkworm excrement pillow. It features a foldable structure, which facilitates height adjustment. The silkworm excrement serves as a support, improving patient comfort and preventing the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints from being unsupported. The injured limb rests naturally on the silkworm excrement, and external application of heat can provide therapeutic benefits, thereby alleviating swelling and pain in the injured limb to some extent. It is versatile and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 3 This is a front view structural diagram of the present invention.

[0015] In the diagram: 1. Latex pad assembly, 2. Fabric cover, 21. Zipper, 3. Main latex pad, 4. Placement interlayer, 5. Storage slot, 51. Silkworm excrement core bag. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable silkworm excrement medicine pillow, including a cloth cover 2. The inside of the cloth cover 2 is divided into a storage slot 5, a placement layer 4 and an installation slot from top to bottom. The storage slot 5 is used to store the silkworm excrement core pack 51. The placement layer 4 is used to place a cold source or a heat source. The installation slot contains a main latex pad 3. A latex pad assembly 1 is movably provided at one end of the bottom of the cloth cover 2, so that the main latex pad 3 and the latex pad assembly 1 can be folded together, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the silkworm excrement core pack 51 and facilitates support for the patient's arm.

[0018] Furthermore, the latex pad assembly 1 includes several foldable secondary latex pads.

[0019] Furthermore, the surfaces where adjacent secondary latex pads fold together, as well as the surfaces where the main latex pad 3 folds together with the adjacent secondary latex pads, are provided with corresponding hook and loop fasteners. By using the hook and loop fasteners to bond the pads together, the stability of the entire medicinal pillow can be improved.

[0020] Furthermore, the cold source is an ice pack or a cold therapy patch, which facilitates cold compresses.

[0021] Furthermore, the heat source is a heat patch or electric heating pad, which can heat the silkworm excrement. The treatment is carried out by applying heat to the silkworm excrement, thereby relieving pain.

[0022] Silkworm excrement is fine, soft, and highly malleable. Using silkworm excrement core packs 51 as support can prevent the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints from being suspended in the air.

[0023] When using a silkworm excrement pillow, the injured limb rests naturally on the silkworm excrement, and the heat from the excrement acts as a topical application, providing some relief from swelling and pain. The silkworm excrement pillow, when applied to the injured limb, heats up and applies heat to the affected area. Through the physical effects of the medicinal properties and temperature, it regulates bodily functions, clears muscle pathways, promotes blood circulation, soothes internal organs, and ultimately reduces pain.

[0024] When using:

[0025] The latex pad assembly 1 can be folded or unfolded according to the arm position so that the silkworm excrement core pack 51 can support the patient's arm.

[0026] In cases of fractures or early-stage injuries requiring cold acupressure, ice packs or cold therapy patches can be placed in the placement layer 4 to relieve pain through cold compresses.

[0027] During the mid-to-late recovery stage, a heat pack or electric heating pad is placed in the interlayer 4 to heat the silkworm excrement core pack 51. The heated silkworm excrement core pack 51 can alleviate the swelling and pain of the injured limb to a certain extent.

[0028] This utility model adopts a folding structure, which makes it easy to adjust the height. The use of silkworm excrement as support can improve the patient's body position comfort, prevent the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints from being suspended in the air, and allow the injured limb to rest naturally on the silkworm excrement. It can also be used for external application of heat to achieve related therapeutic effects, thereby relieving the swelling and pain of the injured limb to a certain extent. It has multiple functions and is easy to use.

[0029] The parts not disclosed in this utility model are all prior art, and their specific structures, materials, and working principles will not be described in detail. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
