Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical and health care equipment technology, and in particular to a pillow structure for hemiplegic patients. Background Technology

[0002] With the aging of society, the number of elderly people suffering from cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, and other diseases is increasing, which can easily lead to hemiplegia in the elderly. After hemiplegia, patients are bedridden for a long time, which can cause bedsores, and more seriously, muscle atrophy.

[0003] To avoid prolonged bed rest, wheelchairs become the primary mode of transportation for hemiplegic patients. However, when sitting in a wheelchair, these patients often tilt to the affected side due to muscle imbalance. To address this, ordinary backrests are commonly used to correct the patient's posture. However, these pillows do not provide sufficient support and deform with prolonged pressure, causing the patient to gradually tilt even after extended periods in the wheelchair. Furthermore, existing backrests cannot be adjusted for the patient's height within the wheelchair; if the patient is tall, a low pillow will still fail to provide adequate support. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a pillow structure for hemiplegic patients, which can solve the problem that existing ordinary pillows for hemiplegic patients cannot provide sufficient support.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a support pillow structure for hemiplegic patients, for fixing to a laterally positioned armrest of a wheelchair. The support pillow structure for hemiplegic patients includes:

[0006] A backrest pillow, the backrest pillow including a backrest pillow body, the backrest pillow body having a hemiplegic support part and a hip support part, the thickness of the hemiplegic support part being greater than the thickness of the hip support part, a first Velcro fastener provided on the back side of the backrest pillow, the first Velcro fastener extending along the direction from the hemiplegic support part to the hip support part, the backrest pillow including a protective cover and a high-density elastic memory support core disposed within the protective cover;

[0007] The fixing strap has a second hook and loop fastener that matches the first hook and loop fastener. The second hook and loop fastener extends along the length of the fixing strap. The fixing strap has a fixed state and a non-fixed state. When the fixing strap is in the fixed state, it is wrapped around the armrest of the wheelchair, and both ends of the fixing strap are fixed to the first hook and loop fastener by the second hook and loop fastener. When the fixing strap is in the non-fixed state, both ends of the fixing strap are separated from the backrest.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the number of the first hook and loop fasteners is at least two, the hook and loop fasteners are spaced apart along the width direction of the pillow body, the number of the fixing straps is equal to the number of the first hook and loop fasteners, and the fixing straps are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first hook and loop fasteners.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the pillow further includes a body position adjustment air cushion, which is connected to the front side of the hemiplegic support and has an inflation structure.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, a hip limiting groove matching the hip is provided on the front side of the pillow body corresponding to the hip support portion.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the top of the pillow is provided with an arm limiting groove.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the high-density elastic memory support core is preferably a high-density memory foam core.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the pillow body further includes a pressure-reducing layer disposed between the high-density elastic memory support core and the protective cover.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the pressure-reducing layer is memory foam.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, the pressure-reducing layer is provided with vent holes.

[0016] In one embodiment of this application, the protective cover is an antibacterial fabric cover.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] This invention features a first Velcro strap on the back of the pillow body, extending from the hemiplegic support section to the hip support section. A second Velcro strap is attached to the first Velcro strap at both ends to secure the pillow body to the armrest of a wheelchair. This allows the height of the pillow to be adjusted according to the installation position of the strap, enabling the hemiplegic support section to be adjusted based on the patient's height and degree of hemiplegia. Furthermore, the thickness of the hemiplegic support section, which supports the patient's body, is greater than the thickness of the hip support section, effectively preventing the patient from tilting to the hemiplegic side and providing better support for their sitting posture. The pillow body includes a protective cover and a high-density elastic memory support core within the cover. This high-density elastic memory support core provides sufficient lateral support and is resistant to deformation even after prolonged use, ensuring the patient maintains a correct posture during extended sitting. The elasticity of the high-density elastic memory support core also enhances the pillow's comfort.

[0031] This utility model provides a pillow structure 100 for hemiplegic patients, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the hemiplegic support pillow structure 100 is used to fix itself to the laterally arranged armrest bar 201 of the wheelchair 200. Figures 2 to 6The illustrated pillow structure 100 for hemiplegic patients includes a pillow and a fixing strap 30. The pillow includes a pillow body 10, which has a hemiplegic support portion 11 for supporting the body of a hemiplegic patient and a hip support portion 12 for supporting the hip of the hemiplegic patient. The thickness of the hemiplegic support portion 11 is greater than the thickness of the hip support portion 12. A first Velcro closure 17 is provided on the back side of the pillow, extending along the direction from the hemiplegic support portion 11 to the hip support portion 12. Figure 4 As shown, the fixing strap 30 is provided with a second hook and loop fastener 31 that matches the first hook and loop fastener 17. The second hook and loop fastener 31 extends along the length of the fixing strap 30. The fixing strap 30 has a fixed state and a non-fixed state. When the fixing strap 30 is in the fixed state, the fixing strap 30 is wrapped around the armrest 201 of the wheelchair 200, and both ends of the fixing strap 30 are fixed to the first hook and loop fastener 17 through the second hook and loop fastener 31, so as to fix the entire backrest to the armrest 201, making it difficult for the backrest to fall off the wheelchair 200. When the fixing strap 30 is in the non-fixed state, both ends of the fixing strap 30 are separated from the backrest. The backrest includes a protective cover 14 and a high-density elastic memory support core 15 disposed in the protective cover 14.

[0032] In use, place the backrest on the side of the armrest 201 of the wheelchair 200 near the seat. Adjust the height of the backrest according to the height and degree of hemiplegia of the hemiplegic patient so that the patient can maintain a good sitting posture when leaning against the backrest. After adjusting the height, put the fixing strap 30 on the outer surface of the armrest 201, and then attach the two ends of the fixing strap 30 to the first hook and loop fastener 17 using the second hook and loop fastener 31. This fixes the backrest to the armrest 201. When the height of the backrest needs to be adjusted or the backrest is no longer needed, forcefully pull the two ends of the fixing strap 30 off the first hook and loop fastener 17 to release the backrest from the armrest 201 of the wheelchair 200. The density of the high-density elastic memory support core 15 is selected to be 70Kg-100Kg / m³. 3 .

[0033] This invention features a first Velcro 17 on the back of the pillow body 10, extending along the direction from the hemiplegic support part 11 to the hip support part 12. A fixing strap 30 for securing the pillow body 10 to the armrest 201 of the wheelchair 200 is attached to the first Velcro 17 at both ends via a second Velcro 31. This allows the height of the cushion to be adjusted according to the installation position of the fixing strap 30 on the pillow body 10. Consequently, the height of the hemiplegic support part of the pillow body 10 can be adjusted according to the patient's height and degree of hemiplegia. Combined with the support for hemiplegic patients... The thickness of the hemiplegic support part 11 is greater than the thickness of the hip support part 12 used to support the patient, which can effectively prevent the hemiplegic patient from tilting to the hemiplegic side and provide better sitting posture support for the hemiplegic patient; by setting the pillow body 10 including a protective cover 14 and a high-density elastic memory support core 15 located in the protective cover 14, the high-density elastic memory support core 15 can provide sufficient lateral support for the hemiplegic patient, and it is not easy to deform even after long-term use, ensuring that the patient can maintain the correct posture when sitting for a long time. Furthermore, because the high-density elastic memory support core 15 has some elasticity, it can also improve the comfort of the pillow.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the protective cover 14 is preferably an antibacterial fabric cover.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the number of first hook and loop fasteners 17 is at least two, with the two fasteners spaced apart along the width direction of the pillow body 10. The number of fixing straps 30 is equal to the number of first hook and loop fasteners 17, and the fixing straps 30 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first hook and loop fasteners 17. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, there are two of each of the first Velcro 17 and the second Velcro 31.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the front side of the pillow body 10 is provided with a hip limiting groove 121 that matches the hip on the hip support part 12. The hip limiting groove 121 is used to fit the hip of the hemiplegic patient, increase the contact area between the hip support part 12 and the hip of the hemiplegic patient, and improve the comfort of the hip support part 12.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the pillow is provided with an arm limiting groove 13. When using the pillow, hemiplegic patients can place their arms in the arm limiting groove 13 to prevent the arms from swaying and avoid the discomfort caused by the swaying of the arms. In addition, the arm limiting groove 13 can also help prevent the patient from falling forward by limiting the arms.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the high-density elastic memory support core 15 is preferably a high-density memory foam core.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pillow body 10 also includes a pressure-reducing layer 16 disposed between the high-density elastic memory foam support core 15 and the protective cover 14, which enhances the softness of the surface of the pillow body 10 and improves the overall comfort of the pillow. Optionally, the pressure-reducing layer 16 is memory foam. In other feasible embodiments, ventilation holes can be provided on the pressure-reducing layer 16. The ventilation holes can enhance the breathability of the memory foam, making the pressure-reducing layer 16 less prone to mold and dampness, and making it less likely for hemiplegic patients to develop pressure sores.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the pillow also includes a position-adjusting air cushion 20, which is connected to the front side of the hemiplegic support part 11. The position-adjusting air cushion 20 is provided with an inflation structure 21, which includes an inflation hole communicating with the inner cavity of the position-adjusting air cushion 20 and a cover sealing the inflation hole. When it is found that adjusting the height of the pillow still cannot enable the hemiplegic patient to achieve a suitable sitting posture, air can be inflated into the position-adjusting air cushion 20, and the inflation of the position-adjusting air cushion 20 will help the hemiplegic patient to sit in a suitable posture.

[0041] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
