Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infant headrest technology, specifically an infant head shape adjustment pad. Background Technology

[0002] The infancy period of newborns is a critical stage for skull development. Their skull bones are not yet fully ossified, and are soft and highly malleable. If they maintain a single sleeping position for a long time (such as lying on their back or fixed side), it can easily lead to uneven pressure on the skull, causing abnormal head shape, such as plagiocephaly, flat head, or boat-shaped head. According to clinical statistics, about 20%-30% of infants will have varying degrees of head shape asymmetry within 6 months after birth, among which plagiocephaly (craniocervasum) accounts for the highest proportion, which seriously affects the appearance of the head shape and may even lead to potential risks such as facial asymmetry and neck muscle imbalance.

[0003] Existing baby head pillows use a central concave area plus two fixed support areas on both sides. However, the spacing between the support areas is usually a uniform size (e.g., 8-12cm), which is difficult to adapt to the needs of babies with different head shapes or ages. If the spacing between the support areas is too narrow, it may compress the protruding side of the head. If the spacing between the support areas is too wide, it cannot effectively support the concave side, resulting in poor correction. For babies with flat heads, the fixed spacing may not evenly distribute the pressure on the head, exacerbating the flat head problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an infant head shape adjustment pad that allows adjustment of the distance between the support areas on both sides of the headrest to suit the needs of infants with different head shapes or ages.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an infant head shape adjustment pad, comprising a memory foam pad body, a U-shaped plate detachably connected to the lower part of the memory foam pad body, a fixing block fixedly connected to the end of the U-shaped plate, two mutually symmetrical adjustment mechanisms installed on the fixing block, hook and loop fasteners fixedly connected to each of the two adjustment mechanisms, and a support mechanism detachably connected to the hook and loop fasteners.

[0010] Furthermore, the support assembly includes two friction self-locking multi-stage telescopic rods fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped support plate, and a stop bar is fixedly connected to the upper end of the friction self-locking multi-stage telescopic rods.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This type of baby head shape adjustment pad allows for individual adjustment of the support areas on both sides of the central concave area, enabling flexible adjustment of the positions of the two support mechanisms. It is suitable for babies with one side of their head being severely flat and the other side protruding, as well as babies with little difference in head shape between the two sides. Furthermore, during use, a light-blocking cloth can be used to cover the light, preventing strong light from affecting the baby's sleep. It is simple, quick, and convenient to operate.

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

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 2An infant head shape adjustment pad includes a memory foam pad body 1. A U-shaped plate 2 is detachably connected to the lower part of the memory foam pad body 1. A fixing block 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the U-shaped plate 2. Two mutually symmetrical adjustment mechanisms are installed on the fixing block 3. Hook and loop fasteners 4 are fixedly connected to both adjustment mechanisms. A support mechanism is detachably connected to the hook and loop fasteners 4.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, when using the baby head shape adjustment pad of this utility model, the memory foam pad body 1 is stuck on the U-shaped plate 2. The position of the support mechanism can be adjusted independently through the adjustment mechanism. The distance of the support mechanism from the central concave area is different, and the support force on both sides of the baby is also different. Therefore, it is suitable for babies whose head shape is severely flat on one side and protruding on the other side, or whose head shape is not much different on both sides.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a groove 5 formed on the surface of the fixed block 3. A threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove 5. A slider 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 6. An L-shaped support plate 8 is fixedly connected to the slider 7. A hook-and-loop fastener 4 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the L-shaped support plate 8. The threaded connection between the threaded rod 6 and the slider 7 has a self-locking function and will not move due to the baby's head movements.

[0020] Specifically, the threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected to the slide groove 5 via a bearing. Rotating the threaded rod 6 causes the slider 7 to move along the direction of the slide groove 5, thereby adjusting the position of the L-shaped support plate 8 and thus adjusting the position of the support mechanism. The two adjustment mechanisms are independently controlled, and the distance between each support mechanism and the central recessed area can be adjusted separately, making it suitable for infants with different abnormal head shapes, such as one side of the infant's head being severely flat and the other side being protruding.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the support mechanism includes a velvet hook and loop fastener 9 that matches the hook and loop fastener 4, and a memory foam pad side support 10 is fixedly connected to the velvet hook and loop fastener 9.

[0022] Specifically, the memory foam pad side support 10 is connected to the hook-and-loop fastener 4 via the velvet Velcro 9, making it easy to disassemble, clean, and replace daily.

[0023] like Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, the memory foam pad side support 10 has an ear groove 11.

[0024] Specifically, the ear canal 11 is designed to avoid the baby's ear and prevent the memory foam pad side support 10 from pressing on the ear.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, a sunshade assembly is installed on one side of the U-shaped plate 2, and a support assembly for supporting the sunshade assembly is fixedly connected to the L-shaped support plate 8. The sunshade assembly includes two rotating blocks 12 fixedly connected to the side of the U-shaped plate 2, a connecting rod 13 rotatably connected to the two rotating blocks 12, a light-blocking cloth 14 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 13, an iron block 15 fixedly connected to the front end of the light-blocking cloth 14, a bar magnet 16 matching the iron block 15 fixedly connected to the other side of the U-shaped plate 2, and a tightening bolt 17 for fixing the connecting rod 13 threadedly connected to the rotating block 12.

[0026] Specifically, the connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 12 through the shaft hole. After the baby is laid flat to sleep, the support assembly can be raised to release the restriction of the connecting rod 13 by the tightening bolt 17. The iron block 15 is pulled to unfold the light-blocking cloth 14 and cover the support assembly. The iron block 15 is then connected to the bar magnet 16. The connecting rod 13 is then fixed by tightening the bolt 17. The light-blocking cloth 14 can then be used to block the light and prevent strong light from affecting the baby's sleep.

[0027] like Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly includes two friction self-locking multi-stage telescopic rods 18 fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped support plate 8, and a stop bar 19 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the friction self-locking multi-stage telescopic rods 18.

[0028] Specifically, when the lever 19 is pulled upwards, the friction self-locking multi-stage telescopic rod 18 extends under force and fixes itself (similar to the telescopic locking principle of a fishing rod), thereby supporting the blackout cloth 14 to block light without affecting the baby's breathing.

[0029] Although the present invention 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 the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
