Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of structural design technology of medical devices and physical therapy equipment, and in particular to a head support. Background Technology
[0002] During pacemaker implantation surgery, patients typically need to maintain a specific position to fully expose the surgical area. However, current clinical procedures lack head support devices specifically designed for this surgery, primarily due to the following issues.
[0003] First, traditional surgical headrests are mostly universal and cannot be precisely fixed according to the patient's positioning requirements for pacemaker implantation surgery. The upper plate of existing headrests, used for placing items, is directly above the patient's head, causing the machine head to be positioned too high. This increased radiation range can lead to greater harm to the patient and hinder the surgery. Second, different patients have individual differences in head shape and neck length, and the limited adjustment function of existing headrests cannot meet diverse support needs. Furthermore, because a sterile drape is required during surgery, the upper plate of existing headrests is usually too large to prevent the drape from obscuring the patient's face. This not only obstructs the machine's radiation but also prevents the assistant surgeon from clearly seeing the operator's movements, increasing risks and uncertainties during the procedure.
[0004] In addition, existing headrests are mostly one-piece molded transparent panels, which cannot increase the surgeon's operating space while improving the flexibility of the headrest to adapt to different patients' head shapes, and cannot allow the surgeon to adjust the headrest according to their operating habits.
[0005] It is evident that existing head supports have several drawbacks. The head position is too high, which increases the risk of injury to the patient due to the high irradiation range, hinders surgery, has limited adjustment functions, fails to meet diverse support needs, and makes it difficult for assistant doctors to see the surgeon's operations.

[0061] The following detailed description of a head support of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments thereof, will further illustrate this invention.
[0062] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0063] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0064] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0065] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0066] according to Figures 1-18As shown, the head support includes: a base 1 for fixing the head support, a frame 2 for structural support, a storage component 3 for placing items, and a support component 4 to prevent the sterile drape from covering the patient's face. In this specific embodiment, the upper surface of the base 1 is welded or integrally formed to the lower end of the frame 2. The support component 4 is slidably connected to both sides of the middle of the frame 2, allowing it to move up and down on both sides of the middle of the frame 2. This allows for adjustment according to different patient head diameters. The storage component 3 is connected to the upper side of the frame 2 and can be flipped and moved on the upper side of the frame 2, allowing the surgeon to adjust the position of the storage component 3 relative to themselves according to usage needs.
[0067] The following is a further explanation of the placement assembly 3 and the support assembly 4. The support frame 42 of the support assembly 4 can rotate relative to the sliding member 41, facilitating the insertion of the patient's head into the headrest. However, to prevent excessive rotation of the support frame 42 and subsequent operational inconvenience, the support frame 42 stops rotating when it touches the frame 2 at a certain angle. To connect the frame 2 to the placement assembly 3, a movable member 31 is located on the upper side of the frame 2. To allow the movable member 31 to rotate and move the placement plate 32 within a certain range, a movable groove 7 is provided on the upper side of the frame 2. The movable member 31 is slidably connected to the movable groove 7 via a constraint member 8. Since the movable member 31 is fixedly connected to the placement plate 32, it drives the placement plate 32 to rotate and move left and right on the upper side of the frame 2 via the movable groove 7. The movable groove 7 further restricts the rotation and movement of the movable member 31, ensuring that the placement plate 32 remains parallel to the base 1, preventing items from falling off the placement plate 32 due to its tilt.
[0068] To enable the frame 2 to function as an overall support structure, the frame 2 includes: a lower sliding rod 21 that connects to the sliding assembly 5 and provides longitudinal movement space for the support frame 42; an upper sliding rod 22 that provides lateral movement space for the shelf 32; and an outer sleeve 23 that limits the sliding assembly 5 and prevents its end from sliding out. The lower ends of the two lower sliding rods 21 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the base 1. The lower sliding rods 21 are located on both sides of the patient's head, so the two lower sliding rods 21 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the base 1. Correspondingly, the two outer sleeves 23 are respectively sleeved on the lower sliding rods 21, and the outer sleeves 23 are fixedly connected to the lower sliding rods 21. In a preferred embodiment, the lower inner wall of the outer sleeve 23 has an internal thread, and the lower side of the lower sliding rod 21 has a corresponding external thread, and the outer sleeve 23 is threadedly connected to the lower sliding rod 21. The two sides of the upper sliding rod 22 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper side of the outer sleeve 23. In a preferred embodiment, the upper sliding rod 22 and the outer sleeve 23 are fixed by a transition connection.
[0069] To make the height of the support assembly 4 adjustable, the lower sliding rod 21 has multiple first limiting holes 211 in its middle section. These first limiting holes 211 are of equal diameter and arranged longitudinally. First sliding grooves 212 are respectively provided on both sides of the middle section of the lower sliding rod 21 to constrain the longitudinal movement of the sliding member 41 and prevent radial angular displacement. Correspondingly, the outer sleeve 23 has multiple second limiting holes 231 in its middle section and a second sliding groove 232 on its side. The first limiting holes 211 and the first sliding grooves 212 are aligned with the second limiting holes 231 and the second sliding grooves 232, respectively.
[0070] To ensure the support frame 4 can be fixed after height adjustment, a sliding component 5 is provided in the first limiting hole 211. The sliding component 5 extends out of the outer sleeve 23 and is slidably connected in the second limiting hole 231. To allow the outer sleeve 23 to constrain the sliding component 5 and prevent it from sliding out of the frame 2, the diameter of the first limiting hole 211 is larger than the diameter of the second limiting hole 231, so that the inner wall of the second limiting hole 231 can constrain the sliding component 5. The sliding member 41 is sleeved on the outside of the outer sleeve 23 and slidably connected to it, thus the sliding component 5 and the sliding member 41 are limited and connected.
[0071] In order to fix the slider 5 on the outer tube 23, the support assembly 4 includes a slider 41 and a support frame 42. The slider 41 has a connection hole 411. The slider assembly 5 extends out of the slider 41 and is slidably connected in the connection hole 411. The slider 41 is slidably connected to the outer tube 23.
[0072] To facilitate rotatable connection with the support frame 42, the sliding member 41 is also provided with a hinge hole 412. The hinge hole 412 passes through both sides of the sliding member 41, and a hinge member 6 is provided on the hinge hole 412. The hinge hole 412 is hinged to the support frame 42 through the hinge member 6. The hinge member 6 passes through the hinge hole 412 from one end and is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 212.
[0073] The sliding member 41 drives the support frame 42 to move up and down. The height of the sliding member 41 is adjustable via the sliding assembly 5. The first sliding groove 212 and the second sliding groove opening 232 respectively limit the radial angular displacement of the sliding member 41 and provide space for the hinge, thereby improving the connection strength between the support frame 42 and the sliding member 41 on the frame 2. The up-and-down sliding of the support frame 42 allows for height adjustment according to the patient's head diameter, preventing the sterile drape from covering the patient's face during surgery. Furthermore, the rotation of the support frame 42 towards the upper sliding rod 22 allows it to be raised when the patient's head is placed in the head support, facilitating a quick surgical positioning. Additionally, the structure of the support frame 42 and the frame 2 allows the surgical head to be positioned closer to the patient. A higher surgical head position results in a larger irradiation range and a higher risk of injury.
[0074] In order to enable the support frame 42 to be fixedly unfolded on the frame 2, an arc-shaped groove 421 is provided on the side of the support frame 42 near the outer tube 23. The outline of the arc-shaped groove 421 fits the outer wall of the outer tube 23, and the curvature of the arc-shaped groove 421 matches the curvature of the outer wall of the outer tube 23, so that the support frame 42 can be fixed when unfolded to support the sterile drape.
[0075] Of course, the support frame 42 is also provided with a rotation hole 422. The hinge 6 passes through the rotation hole 422 to hinge the support frame 42 to the sliding member 41 so as to realize the rotation function of the support frame 42 within a certain range.
[0076] Specifically, the upper sliding rod 22 includes a moving part 221 for sliding the shelf 32 and a connecting part 222 fixedly connected to the outer tube 23. The moving part 221 is integrally bent into the connecting part 222 on both sides. The connecting part 222 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the outer tube 23. Preferably, the lower end of the connecting part 222 extends into the outer tube 23 and transitionally connects with the outer tube 23.
[0077] A movable slot 7 is provided in the movable part 221, and the shelf 32 is slidably connected to the movable slot 7 through the movable part 31.
[0078] The storage assembly 3 includes a movable member 31 and a storage plate 32. The movable member 31 is rotatably connected to the movable part 221. One side of the movable member 31 is fixed to the movable part 221 by screws, and the other side of the movable member 31 is fixed to the storage plate 32 by screws. Of course, the inner diameter of the movable member 31 is larger than the outer diameter of the movable part 221, so that the movable member 31 can rotate and move left and right on the movable part 221.
[0079] To limit the position of the placement plate 32 after it has been moved to a certain location and prevent external forces from causing it to rotate or deviate, the moving groove 7 includes a rotating groove 71 that limits the rotation angle of the placement plate 32 and a transverse groove 72 that limits its movement. The two rotating grooves 71 are respectively located on both sides of the transverse groove 72. This is to constrain the rotation angle of the placement plate 32 when the upper sliding rod 22 moves to the left and right, preventing rotation due to surface forces when items are placed on the placement plate 32. The transverse groove 72 communicates with the rotating groove 71 in the middle, allowing the moving member 31 to slide within it via the constraining member 8. The lateral movement of the placement plate 32 allows it to be adjusted according to the surgeon's operating position when dealing with different patients' heart positions. Furthermore, the flipping function of the placement plate 32 allows the surgeon to adjust its distance according to their usage habits.
[0080] In order to fix the constraint member 8, a moving hole 311 is provided on the moving member 31. A constraint member 8 is provided between the moving member 31 and the moving groove 7. One end of the constraint member 8 passes through the moving hole 311 and is slidably connected in the moving groove 7, and the other end of the constraint member 8 is fixedly connected to the moving member 31.
[0081] To further enhance the restraint force when the shelf 32 is flipped, a limiting strip 321 is fixedly connected to the side of the shelf 32 near the moving part 221. When the shelf 32 is flipped, the limiting strip 321 abuts against the frame 2 through its end face. In this specific embodiment, the limiting strip 321 is located on the left and right sides of the shelf 32, and is provided on both the upper and lower surfaces, so that when the shelf 32 moves to both sides of the upper sliding rod 22, at least one limiting strip 321 can abut against the frame 2.
[0082] To facilitate insertion of the base 1 into the operating table or behind the patient, the base 1 is iron-shaped, which makes it easy to fix the headrest and improves stability. The corners of the base 1 are rounded.
[0083] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model.
