Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and health care technology, and in particular to a nursing pillow for wearing a ventilator for sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. Background Technology
[0002] Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome is mainly caused by the relaxation and collapse of soft tissues in the upper airway during sleep, obstructing the airway and leading to apnea or insufficient ventilation. Obesity, nasal diseases, and enlarged tonsils are common contributing factors. Wearing a CPAP machine opens the obstructed airway through continuous positive airway pressure, maintaining unobstructed breathing, thereby improving nighttime hypoxia, reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks, and improving sleep quality. It is an important treatment method for moderate to severe cases. Nursing pillows are functional pillows designed for specific health needs. Through special materials or structures, they help adjust sleeping posture and support the cervical spine, relieving neck pressure, reducing snoring and breathing difficulties. They are suitable for people with cervical discomfort, postoperative recovery, etc., and combine comfort and health assistance.
[0003] A nursing pillow for sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome using a ventilator typically consists of a main support layer made of materials such as slow-rebound memory foam to maintain a reasonable height and curvature of the head and neck; it has a ventilator tubing fixing structure, such as grooves and straps, to prevent tubing folding; the outer layer is made of breathable and moisture-wicking fabric, and the inner layer is filled with breathable fibers. Some pillows include adjustable filling modules and a non-slip base to help maintain a comfortable position and optimize ventilation.
[0004] In existing technologies, some nursing pillows can cause discomfort and problems for patients with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome who are wearing ventilators while sleeping. For example, wearing a ventilator mask for a long time can easily cause facial indentations and head discomfort. Traditional pillows can also affect the placement of the breathing tube. Therefore, a nursing pillow for patients with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome who are wearing ventilators is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a nursing pillow for patients with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome who are wearing a ventilator. It aims to improve the existing technology for solving the discomfort and problems encountered by patients with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome when wearing a ventilator, such as the facial indentation and head discomfort caused by wearing a ventilator mask for a long time; and the problem that traditional pillows can affect the placement of the breathing tube.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A nursing pillow for those wearing a ventilator with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome includes a pillow body. Connectors are fixedly connected to both sides of the pillow body.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a nursing pillow for those wearing a ventilator for sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. The pillow includes a pillow body 1, which is the base of the pillow and is soft and resilient. Connectors 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the pillow body 1. Fixing members 3 are slidably connected to the outside of each connector 2. The connectors 2 are connected to both sides of the pillow, connecting the pillow body 1 and the fixing members 3. The fixing members 3 are connected to the pillow body 1 through the connectors 2, thus stabilizing it. Protective shells 4 are fixedly connected to the top of each fixing member 3. The protective shells 4 protect the internal fixing and disassembly components, ensuring stability. Slidably connected to the far sides of the two protective shells 4 are... The movable plate 5 receives external force and moves accordingly. A limiting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable plate 5. The limiting plate 6 moves with the movable plate 5 and enters the protective shell 4. A limiting rod 7 is slidably connected inside the limiting plate 6. A spring 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting rod 7. The limiting rod 7 receives the spring force and pushes, thereby fixing the limiting plate 6. A rotating plate 9 is rotatably connected to the right side of the limiting rod 7. The rotating plate 9 receives external force and moves the limiting plate 6, thereby compressing the spring 8. The spring 8 receives the compressive force of the limiting rod 7 and compresses accordingly. A sleep aid component for sleep is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the pillow body 1.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The sleep aid component includes an elastic airbag 11. The bottom of the elastic airbag 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the pillow body 1. Two sleep aid storage shells 12 are slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the pillow body 1. Two dispersing plates 13 are fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the pillow body 1. A transmission tube 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the pillow body 1. The elastic airbag 11 receives gas transmitted by the transmission tube 14, thereby squeezing and cushioning the pillow body 1. The sleep aid storage shells 12 contain sleep-aiding Chinese medicine to help patients fall asleep. The dispersing plates 13 are fixed to the top of the pillow body 1 and contact the top of the sleep aid storage shells 12, allowing the Chinese medicine inside to be distributed to the patient's surroundings under the action of the dispersing plates 13. The transmission tube 14 transmits gas to the elastic airbag 11, causing a large amount of gas to be generated inside the elastic airbag 11, making the elastic airbag 11 inflated.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The rotating plate 9 is externally slidably connected to the right side of the protective shell 4. The rotating plate 9 receives external force and rotates, causing the limiting rod 7 to move. The top of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the protective shell 4. The spring 8 receives the pushing force of the limiting rod 7 and stores elastic force on the inner top wall of the protective shell 4. The limiting plate 6 is externally slidably connected to the left side of the protective shell 4. The limiting plate 6 moves under the action of the moving plate 5, thereby driving the limiting plate 6. The fixing member 3 is internally fixedly connected to... The top of the Velcro 21 is fixedly connected to an elastic sponge 20. There are two Velcro 21 pieces; one is fixed to the bottom of the fastener 3, and the other is fixed to the bottom of the elastic sponge 20. The two pieces are in contact, thus fixing the elastic sponge 20 to the fastener 3. A tubular air pump 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission tube 14. The front of the tubular air pump 15 is fixedly connected to the rear of the pillow body 1. The tubular air pump 15 receives the gas exhaled from the elastic airbag 11, thus transmitting several times the amount of gas. The elastic airbag 11 is inflated, and gas is slowly discharged into it. The front side of the transmission pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the elastic airbag 11. The transmission pipe 14 is used to deliver gas from the tubular air pump 15 into the elastic airbag 11. The top of the pillow body 1 has multiple ventilation holes, which allow the dispersing plate 13 to release the traditional Chinese medicine. The top of the fixing member 3 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 16. The inner wall of the protective cover 16 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 17. The outside of the rotating rod 17 is fixedly connected to the retraction roll 18. A gripping plate 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of plate 5. A spring 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the retraction roll 18. A tension strap 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the retraction roll 18. The protective cover 16 protects the internal retraction components from damage. The spring 19 is compressed under the action of the tension strap 10. When the tension strap 10 is loosened, the spring 19 begins to spring back, causing the retraction roll 18 to rotate, thereby retracting the tension strap 10. The rotating rod 17 provides support force to the retraction roll 18 to stabilize it.
[0035] Working principle: The operator places the breathing tubing of the positive pressure ventilation device on the elastic sponge 20. The operator then pulls the tension strap 10, causing the top moving plate 5 to move the limiting plate 6 into the protective shell 4. The internal limiting rod 7 then fixes the limiting plate 6, thus securing the breathing tubing of the positive pressure ventilation device. When the patient needs to turn over and the breathing tubing needs to be repositioned, the patient applies force to the grip plate 22, causing the rotating plate 9 to rotate. This rotates the limiting rod 7, disengaging it from the limiting plate 6. At this time, the spring 19 rotates the retraction roll 18, causing the tension strap 10 to wrap around it. When the elastic sponge 20 becomes dirty, medical staff can replace it using the bottom Velcro 21. This achieves the fixed placement of the breathing tubing, preventing displacement, twisting, or compression, ensuring smooth airflow, maintaining the normal operation of the ventilator, and ensuring treatment effectiveness.
[0036] When the patient's head rests on the pillow body 1, the pillow body 1 applies pressure to the elastic air bladder 11. At this time, the rear tubular air pump 15 transmits gas to the transmission tube 14, causing the elastic air bladder 11 inside to inflate rapidly. It slowly deflates between the pressure applied by the pillow body 1 and the elastic air bladder 11, so that the weight transmitted by the elastic air bladder 11 and the pillow body 1 is equal. At this time, the operator can insert the sleep aid storage shell 12 into the back of the pillow body 1. The sleep aid storage shell 12 will then release the sleep aid medicine inside through the slot of the pillow body 1 under the action of the dispersing plate 13, so that it surrounds the patient, thereby achieving sleep aid for the patient. It can reduce the number of apnea and hypopnea during sleep, improve sleep structure, and allow the patient to enter a more stable and continuous sleep state.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
