Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to a medical pillow testing device and equipment. Background Technology
[0002] To maintain the normal physiological curvature of the neck and ensure good physiological function during sleep, pillows are typically used to provide proper support. Therefore, choosing a pillow that conforms well to the natural curve of the neck is crucial. Although various functional pillows are available on the market, most people still primarily use traditional, ordinary pillows in their daily lives.
[0003] However, due to significant differences in the physiological curvature of the cervical spine and the shape of the head among individuals, traditional pillows are often designed using a uniform standard, making it difficult to personalize them to meet the specific needs of different people. This often results in pillows failing to provide sufficient and balanced support for the head, neck, and shoulders during actual use. Over time, this can cause the neck muscles and ligaments to remain in a state of tension or uneven stress, leading to muscle fatigue, stiffness, and even chronic strain and other health problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a medical pillow testing device and equipment, which aims to solve the problem of uneven support caused by traditional pillows being unable to adapt to the differences in individual neck and head curves, and thus easily causing neck muscle strain.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the medical pillow testing device proposed in this utility model includes:
[0006] case;
[0007] A mounting bracket is disposed within the housing. The mounting bracket includes a first crossbeam and a second crossbeam opposite each other, and a mounting plate connecting the first crossbeam and the second crossbeam. The mounting plate is provided with a mounting opening.
[0008] Multiple detection modules are disposed inside the housing and arranged sequentially along the Y-axis. Each detection module includes a driving component, a pressure detection component, and a contact block. The driving component passes through the mounting port and is fixed to the mounting plate. The pressure detection component connects the driving component and the contact block. The outer contour shape of the multiple contact blocks is adapted to the outer contour shape of the human head.
[0009] A control module, located within the housing, is electrically connected to the drive components and pressure detection components of each of the detection modules. The control module controls the drive components to move the corresponding contact blocks along the Z-axis direction based on the detection signals output by the pressure detection components.
[0010] In one embodiment, the mounting plate has a first plate segment, a second plate segment, a third plate segment, and a fourth plate segment connected sequentially and surrounding the mounting opening. The first plate segment and the second plate segment are arranged opposite each other along the Y-axis and are respectively mounted on the first crossbeam and the second crossbeam. The third plate segment and the fourth plate segment are arranged opposite each other along the X-axis. Each driving component includes a fixed base, a fixed plate, and an electric actuator. The two ends of the fixed base are respectively fixed to the third plate segment and the fourth plate segment. The fixed base and the electric actuator are respectively mounted on opposite sides of the fixed plate. The electric actuator is drivenly connected to the pressure detection component.
[0011] In one embodiment, a connector is provided between the pressure detection element and the electric actuator of each detection module, and the connector connects the corresponding pressure detection element and the electric actuator.
[0012] In one embodiment, each of the detection modules has two pressure detection elements, which are arranged at intervals along the X-axis on the connector.
[0013] In one embodiment, each of the detection modules further includes a displacement detection element, which is located on the same side of the fixed plate as the electric actuator and is arranged parallel to the electric actuator. The displacement detection element is electrically connected to the control module and is used to detect the movement displacement of the corresponding electric actuator in the Z-axis direction.
[0014] In one embodiment, the housing has a support plate for placing a medical pillow, and the support plate has detection ports corresponding to the positions of the plurality of detection modules.
[0015] In one embodiment, the medical pillow detection device further includes a position adjustment component disposed on the housing, the position adjustment component being used to connect the medical pillow to adjust the position of the medical pillow on the support plate.
[0016] In one embodiment, the position adjustment assembly includes a fixing member and a slide rail. One end of the fixing member is fixed to the housing, and the other end of the fixing member is provided with a slider. The slide rail is slidably connected to the slider and is used to connect a medical pillow.
[0017] This utility model also proposes a medical pillow testing device, including a flat-lying frame and a medical pillow testing device as described above, wherein the housing of the medical pillow testing device is connected to the flat-lying frame.
[0018] In one embodiment, the medical pillow testing device further includes a terminal electrically connected to the medical pillow testing device, which is used to receive and display the detection signal output by the medical pillow testing device.
[0019] This invention employs a multi-module detection system arranged sequentially along the Y-axis. Each module contains a drive unit, a pressure detection unit, and a contact block, enabling the device to detect the pressure distribution across different parts of the user's head. When the user's head contacts a contact block, the pressure detection unit at different points outputs different signals due to varying forces. The control module calculates the average pressure at each point based on these signals and controls the drive unit to adjust the corresponding contact block along the Z-axis, ensuring that the pressure across all contact blocks is consistent and balanced. This allows the device to acquire data on the actual height and pressure distribution of the user's head, providing a basis for personalized pillow design and solving the problem of uneven support caused by traditional pillows' inability to adapt to individual differences. Furthermore, the device utilizes a first and second crossbeam in the mounting frame, along with a mounting plate with mounting openings, to position and install the multiple detection modules. This not only ensures a rational spatial layout between the modules but also improves the overall structural compactness and stability, facilitating integration and maintenance, and further enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the detection process.

[0034] To maintain the normal physiological curvature of the neck and ensure good physiological function during sleep, pillows are typically used to provide proper support. Therefore, choosing a pillow that conforms well to the natural curve of the neck is crucial. Although various functional pillows are available on the market, most people still primarily use traditional, ordinary pillows in their daily lives.
[0035] However, due to significant differences in the physiological curvature of the cervical spine and the shape of the head among individuals, traditional pillows are often designed using a uniform standard, making it difficult to personalize them to meet the specific needs of different people. This often results in pillows failing to provide sufficient and balanced support for the head, neck, and shoulders during actual use. Over time, this can cause the neck muscles and ligaments to remain in a state of tension or uneven stress, leading to muscle fatigue, stiffness, and even chronic strain and other health problems.
[0036] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a medical pillow testing device 100.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the medical pillow detection device 100 includes:
[0038] Casing 1;
[0039] Mounting bracket 2 is disposed inside housing 1. Mounting bracket 2 includes a first crossbeam 21 and a second crossbeam 22 opposite to each other, and a mounting plate 23 connecting the first crossbeam 21 and the second crossbeam 22. Mounting plate 23 is provided with mounting opening 201.
[0040] Multiple detection modules 3 are housed in the housing 1 and arranged sequentially along the Y-axis. Each detection module 3 includes a drive unit 31, a pressure detection unit 32 and a contact block 33. The drive unit 31 passes through the mounting port 201 and is fixed to the mounting plate 23. The pressure detection unit 32 connects the drive unit 31 and the contact block 33. The outer contour shape of the multiple contact blocks 33 is adapted to the outer contour shape of the human head.
[0041] The control module 4 is located inside the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the drive unit 31 and pressure detection unit 32 of each detection module 3. The control module 4 is used to control the drive unit 31 to drive the corresponding contact block 33 to move along the Z-axis direction according to the detection signal output by the pressure detection unit 32.
[0042] In this embodiment, the medical pillow detection device 100 includes a housing 1, a mounting bracket 2, multiple detection modules 3, and a control module 4. The housing 1 serves as the external support structure for the entire device, housing and protecting the internal components, while also providing a stable platform for users to perform head and neck contact detection.
[0043] Mounting bracket 2 is installed inside housing 1, serving to fix and support detection modules 3. Mounting bracket 2 consists of a first crossbeam 21 and a second crossbeam 22, which are arranged opposite each other and connected by mounting plate 23 to form a stable frame structure. Mounting plate 23 is provided with mounting opening 201, which is used to position and install the drive component 31 in detection module 3, ensuring that each detection module 3 can be accurately and neatly arranged at mounting opening 201, thereby realizing the detection of different parts of the head and neck.
[0044] Multiple detection modules 3 are arranged sequentially along the Y-axis within the housing 1. Each detection module 3 includes a drive component 31, a pressure detection component 32, and a contact block 33. The drive component 31 passes through the mounting port 201 on the mounting plate 23 and is fixed to the mounting plate 23. This ensures that the drive component 31 remains stable during operation and does not shift, improving the accuracy of the detection by the corresponding detection module 3. The pressure detection component 32 is positioned between the drive component 31 and the contact block 33 and is connected to both the drive component 31 and the contact block 33. The pressure detection component 32 is used to detect the pressure exerted on the contact block 33. The outer contour shape of the multiple contact blocks 33 is adapted to the outer contour shape of the human head, allowing each contact block 33 to fit more naturally against the user's head and neck during the detection process, improving the realism and accuracy of the detection.
[0045] The control module 4 is also housed within the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the drive unit 31 and pressure detection unit 32 of each detection module 3. Its function is to receive pressure detection signals from each pressure detection unit 32 and perform analysis and feedback control based on these signals. Specifically, when a user places their head and / or neck on the contact block 33, the pressure on different contact blocks 33 will vary due to uneven force distribution on the head. At this time, each pressure detection unit 32 will collect the pressure on its corresponding contact block 33 in real time and transmit these pressure signals to the control module 4. The control module 4 will analyze all received pressure detection signals, calculate the average pressure currently experienced by each contact block 33, and adjust the operation of each drive unit 31 based on this average value. The drive unit 31, according to the control command, moves the corresponding contact block 33 up and down along the Z-axis, thereby adjusting its height to make the pressure on each contact block 33 more consistent, ultimately achieving an overall force balance. After force balance is achieved, the displacement height of each contact block 33, i.e., the specific value of each contact block 33 rising or falling, can be detected manually or by the displacement detection device 35. These displacement heights can be used as a basis to determine the support height of a medical pillow suitable for a specific user. Based on these support heights, a medical pillow that conforms to the physiological structure of the user's head and neck can be customized.
[0046] Overall, this embodiment, through the combined use of the aforementioned series of technical features, can detect the actual stress state of the human head and neck. First, the distributed design of multiple detection modules 3 comprehensively captures the pressure distribution of the user in different areas. Second, the linkage mechanism between the drive component 31 and the pressure detection component 32 enables the device to automatically adjust, allowing for adjustment of the height of the contact block 33 to achieve more balanced stress. Finally, the mounting bracket 2 not only improves the mechanical stability of the entire device but also enables the orderly arrangement and rapid positioning of the detection modules 3, making the entire detection process efficient and reliable. Therefore, this device can acquire individualized head and neck pressure and height data in a short time, providing a basis for the manufacture of personalized pillows and effectively solving problems such as discomfort and neck fatigue caused by the fixed structure of traditional pillows and their inability to adapt to individual differences.
[0047] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the mounting plate 23 has a first plate segment 231, a second plate segment 232, a third plate segment 233, and a fourth plate segment 234 that are sequentially connected and surround the mounting opening 201. The first plate segment 231 and the second plate segment 232 are arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis and are respectively mounted on the first crossbeam 21 and the second crossbeam 22. The third plate segment 233 and the fourth plate segment 234 are arranged opposite to each other along the X-axis. Each driving member 31 includes a fixed seat 311, a fixed plate 312, and an electric push rod 313. The two ends of the fixed seat 311 are respectively fixed to the third plate segment 233 and the fourth plate segment 234. The fixed seat 311 and the electric push rod 313 are respectively mounted on opposite sides of the fixed plate 312. The electric push rod 313 is drivenly connected to the pressure detection member 32.
[0048] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 23 is formed by a rectangular mounting opening 201 by a first plate segment 231, a second plate segment 232, a third plate segment 233, and a fourth plate segment 234 connected in sequence. The first plate segment 231 and the second plate segment 232 are positioned opposite each other along the Y-axis and are fixedly connected to the first crossbeam 21 and the second crossbeam 22 on the mounting frame 2, respectively, thus providing positioning support for the mounting plate 23 in the Y-axis direction. The third plate segment 233 and the fourth plate segment 234 are positioned opposite each other along the X-axis and are perpendicularly connected to the first plate segment 231 and the second plate segment 232, together forming a stable frame structure and enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of the mounting plate 23.
[0049] Each drive unit 31 comprises three parts: a fixed base 311, a fixed plate 312, and an electric actuator 313. The fixed base 311 is fixed at both ends to the third plate segment 233 and the fourth plate segment 234, respectively, allowing it to stably span the mounting opening 201 and providing a solid support foundation for the entire drive unit 31. The fixed plate 312 is mounted on one side of the fixed base 311 to support and fix components such as the electric actuator 313; the electric actuator 313 is mounted on the side of the fixed plate 312 opposite to the fixed base 311 and is connected to the pressure detection element 32. It drives the contact block 33 to move up and down along the Z-axis according to the instructions of the control module 4, thereby adjusting the support for different parts of the head and neck. This structural design allows the drive unit 31 to be securely mounted on the mounting plate 23 via the fixed base 311, preventing displacement or loosening due to uneven force or vibration, thus ensuring detection accuracy and operational stability. Simultaneously, the direct connection between the electric actuator 313 and the pressure detection element 32 also improves response speed and adjustment sensitivity.
[0050] Overall, this embodiment optimizes the structural layout of the mounting plate 23 and the installation method of the drive component 31, enabling the spatial positioning and stable installation of the detection module 3. On one hand, the mounting port 201 structure composed of four plate segments enhances the mechanical properties of the mounting plate 23, improving the overall mechanical strength and deformation resistance of the device. On the other hand, the drive component 31 adopts a layered structure of fixed base 311—fixed plate 312—electric actuator 313, which not only facilitates assembly and maintenance but also improves the reliability and adjustment accuracy of the device operation.
[0051] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, a connector 34 is provided between the pressure detection element 32 and the electric push rod 313 of each detection module 3, and the connector 34 connects the corresponding pressure detection element 32 and the electric push rod 313.
[0052] In this embodiment, a connector 34 is provided between the pressure detection element 32 and the electric actuator 313 in each detection module 3. The connector 34 is used to rigidly or flexibly connect the pressure detection element 32 and the electric actuator 313 to ensure that the force between them can be effectively transmitted. Specifically, the electric actuator 313, as a driving component, is responsible for performing extension and retraction actions according to the instructions of the control module 4, driving the contact block 33 to move up and down; while the pressure detection element 32 is used to sense the pressure on the contact block 33 in real time. To achieve this function, the pressure detection element 32 needs to maintain a stable mechanical connection with the electric actuator 313, which is accomplished by the intermediate connector 34. The connector 34 can be a rigid connecting rod, an elastic connecting block, or other structural components with force transmission function. One end of the connector is fixedly connected to the pressure detection element 32, and the other end is connected to the output end of the electric actuator 313. Thus, when the electric actuator 313 moves, the driving force can be directly or indirectly transmitted to the pressure detection element 32 and ultimately act on the contact block 33. This structural design not only ensures that the pressure sensing element 32 can accurately sense the pressure changes from the contact block 33, but also makes the power output of the electric actuator 313 more stable and reliable, avoiding measurement errors or adjustment failures caused by loose connections or misalignment.
[0053] Overall, this embodiment achieves effective linkage between the pressure detection element 32 and the electric actuator 313 by providing a connector 34, thereby improving the structural stability and response sensitivity of the entire detection module 3. On the one hand, the presence of the connector 34 enhances the connection strength between the various components of the device, preventing detachment or damage due to uneven force or vibration; on the other hand, it also acts as a buffer or transition, helping to improve the accuracy of pressure detection and the smoothness of drive adjustment.
[0054] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, each detection module 3 has two pressure detection elements 32, which are arranged at intervals along the X-axis on the connector 34.
[0055] In this embodiment, each detection module 3 has two pressure detection elements 32, which are arranged at intervals along the X-axis and mounted on the connector 34. That is, instead of using a single pressure detection element 32, two pressure detection elements 32 are arranged side-by-side with a certain lateral spacing between them, jointly detecting the pressure on the contact block 33. Specifically, these two pressure detection elements 32 can be fixedly mounted in the middle area of the connector 34 using mounting bases, slots, or other fixing structures, forming a stable connection with the connector 34, thereby ensuring its stability and reliability during use.
[0056] The design of setting up two pressure detection elements 32 has several advantages. First, from the perspective of detection accuracy and data reliability, the two pressure detection elements 32 can collect pressure detection signals separately. By comparing or averaging the data from both, it helps to more realistically and comprehensively reflect the actual pressure borne by the contact block 33, thereby improving the overall detection accuracy. Second, since the two pressure detection elements 32 are spaced apart along the X-axis, the entire detection module 3 has stronger resistance to off-center loading. In actual use, when the user's head or neck comes into contact with the contact block 33, there may be angular deviations or the force direction may not be completely perpendicular to the contact surface. If only one pressure detection element 32 is set, the force point may be off-center, which may lead to large errors in the measurement results. However, by using two pressure detection elements 32 arranged in parallel, the influence of this off-center force can be offset to a certain extent, enabling the device to obtain a more stable and accurate pressure detection signal, thereby improving the adaptability and detection stability of the device under different usage conditions.
[0057] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, each detection module 3 further includes a displacement detection element 35. The displacement detection element 35 and the electric push rod 313 are located on the same side of the fixed plate 312 and are arranged parallel to the electric push rod 313. The displacement detection element 35 is electrically connected to the control module 4 and is used to detect the movement displacement of the corresponding electric push rod 313 in the Z-axis direction.
[0058] In this embodiment, each detection module 3, in addition to including an electric actuator 313, a pressure detection element 32, and a contact block 33, further includes a displacement detection element 35. The displacement detection element 35 and the electric actuator 313 are installed side-by-side on the same side of the fixed plate 312, and are arranged parallel to each other along the Z-axis, thus maintaining a high degree of consistency and spatial compactness in the structural layout. The displacement detection element 35 can be a linear displacement sensor, a photoelectric encoder, or other sensing device capable of measuring linear displacement. One end is fixed to the fixed plate 312, and the other end is connected to the output end of the electric actuator 313 or a component linked to it, thereby enabling real-time sensing of displacement changes generated during the extension and retraction of the electric actuator 313. The displacement detection element 35 is electrically connected to the control module 4, and can feed back the collected displacement signal to the control module 4, achieving precise monitoring of the height change of the contact block 33.
[0059] By setting the displacement detection element 35, the medical pillow detection device 100 can not only know the current pressure of the contact block 33, but also obtain the actual position information of the contact block 33, thereby gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the force and deformation of the head and neck under different support states. For example, during the adjustment process, if the pressure at a certain point is too high, the control module 4 can raise or lower it through the electric push rod 313, and use the displacement detection element 35 to confirm whether the adjustment is in place, thereby realizing closed-loop control and improving adjustment accuracy and response speed.
[0060] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the housing 1 has a support plate 11 for placing the medical pillow, and the support plate 11 has a detection port 101 corresponding to the positions of the multiple detection modules 3.
[0061] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a support plate 11 for placing the medical pillow. The support plate 11 not only supports the medical pillow but also has positioning and limiting functions, ensuring that the medical pillow maintains a stable position during the testing process and avoiding the impact of displacement on the consistency and accuracy of data acquisition. A detection port 101 is provided on the support plate 11 at the position corresponding to multiple detection modules 3. The detection port 101 penetrates the support plate 11 and provides space for the contact blocks 33 in the detection modules 3 below to move up and down. When the user places their head or neck on the medical pillow, the medical pillow will contact the surface of the support plate 11 and generate pressure. The contact blocks 33 of the multiple detection modules 3 below the support plate 11 can extend upward through the detection port 101 under the drive of the electric push rod 313, contacting the bottom of the medical pillow and further forming indirect contact with the human head or neck, thereby realizing real-time detection and adjustment of pressure distribution and support height. Optionally, the shape and size of the detection port 101 can be matched with the overall layout of the multiple detection modules 3 to ensure that the contact block 33 of each detection module 3 can pass smoothly through the opening under the action of the corresponding electric push rod 313 to form an effective support surface for the medical pillow.
[0062] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the medical pillow detection device 100 further includes a position adjustment component 5, which is disposed in the housing 1 and is used to connect to the medical pillow to adjust the position of the medical pillow on the support plate 11.
[0063] In this embodiment, the position adjustment component 5 is disposed on the housing 1 and connected to the medical pillow, and is used to adjust the relative position of the medical pillow on the support plate 11. Specifically, the position adjustment component 5 can adjust the position of the medical pillow in the X-axis direction, so that the area to be tested of the medical pillow can be accurately aligned with the contact blocks 33 in the multiple detection modules 3 below, thereby ensuring that each contact point can effectively contact the user's head or neck during the testing process, improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the testing.
[0064] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the position adjustment component 5 includes a fixing member 51 and a slide rail 52. One end of the fixing member 51 is fixed to the housing 1, and the other end of the fixing member 51 is provided with a slider 53. The slide rail 52 is slidably connected to the slider 53 and is used to connect the medical pillow.
[0065] In this embodiment, the position adjustment component 5 includes a fixing member 51 and a slide rail 52. One end of the fixing member 51 is fixedly mounted on the housing 1, serving as the basic support structure for the entire position adjustment component 5. The other end of the fixing member 51 is provided with a slider 53, which can be made of a wear-resistant, low-friction coefficient material and has good sliding performance. The slide rail 52 and the slider 53 are slidably connected, that is, the slider 53 is embedded inside the slide rail 52 or mates with its surface, and can slide freely along the X-axis direction, the specific direction depending on the design requirements and layout. The slide rail 52 is used to connect the medical pillow. That is, the medical pillow can be installed on the slide rail 52 by buckles, bolts or other connecting structures, so that the entire pillow can be adjusted in position as the slide rail 52 moves on the slider 53. This structure allows the user or device to adjust the displacement of the medical pillow on the support plate 11 in the left and right directions as needed, to ensure that the medical pillow is optimally aligned with the contact blocks 33 in the multiple detection modules 3 below, thereby ensuring that each detection point can accurately collect the corresponding pressure and displacement data.
[0066] Furthermore, the adjustment method can be either manual, where the slide rail 52 is manually pushed onto the slider 53 and locked to the detection position; or electric, where a drive motor and control components are integrated into the slide rail 52 or the fixing component 51, so that the drive motor can drive the slide rail 52 to the detection position according to the instructions issued by the control components, thereby realizing intelligent and automated position adjustment function.
[0067] This utility model also proposes a medical pillow testing device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The medical pillow testing device includes a flat-lying frame and a medical pillow testing device 100. The housing 1 of the medical pillow testing device 100 is connected to the flat-lying frame. The specific structure of the medical pillow testing device 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this medical pillow testing device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0068] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the medical pillow detection device further includes a terminal 200, which is electrically connected to the medical pillow detection device 100 and is used to receive and display the detection signals output by the medical pillow detection device 100.
[0069] In this embodiment, the terminal 200 can be an electronic device with data processing and display functions, such as an industrial computer, a touch screen operating terminal, a tablet device, or a dedicated control host. It interacts with the control module 4 of the medical pillow detection device 100 via wired (such as USB, RS485, network cable, etc.) or wireless (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.) communication methods to obtain the pressure and displacement collected by each detection module 3 in real time.
[0070] In practical applications, when a user lies flat on the reclining frame and places their head or neck on the medical pillow, multiple detection modules 3 in the medical pillow detection device 100 simultaneously detect the pressure and height at each contact point. This data is then processed by the control module 4 and transmitted to the terminal 200. Upon receiving this data, the terminal 200 displays it digitally, allowing technicians or medical personnel to observe the stress state, identify areas of uneven support, and determine whether the medical pillow meets the user's physiological needs.
