Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical assistive device technology, and in particular to an adjustable head fixation pillow for oral surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Dental surgeries can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. Patients lie in the dental chair, and discomfort in the chair can lead to post-operative back pain, especially in the neck and head. Current dental chairs use a connecting piece between the head and back, creating a height difference between the connecting piece and the chair's backrest and headrest. Many dentists use pillows to make this more comfortable. Furthermore, dental surgeries primarily target the upper and lower jaws. When operating on the upper jaw, patients need to slightly tilt their heads up while lying in the chair; when operating on the lower jaw, they need to slightly tilt their heads down to facilitate the dentist's work. However, maintaining this lying position for extended periods and constantly tilting the head up and down can cause significant discomfort in the head and neck. Therefore, these technical issues urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 9 :
[0031] This utility model discloses an adjustable oral surgery head support pillow B, including a base plate 1, a bottom support cotton 2, an airbag assembly 3, and a fixing strap assembly 4. The base plate 1 is designed to resemble the headrest A2 and shoulder rest A2 of the upper part of the dental chair A, and includes a headrest area 101, a neck rest area 102, and a shoulder rest area 103. The headrest area 101 is similar in shape to the headrest A1 of the dental chair A, the shoulder rest area 103 is similar in shape to the shoulder rest A2 of the dental chair A, and the neck rest area 102 is located between the headrest area 101 and the shoulder rest area 103, with a smooth transition. Preferably, the base plate 1 is made of elastic plastic material. The bottom support cotton 2 is located at the upper end of the base plate 1 and has the same or similar functional area design as the base plate 1. The bottom support cotton 2 is preferably made of memory foam with a thickness of about 0.5 to 1 cm. A groove formed by sutures is provided in the middle to facilitate the doctor's control of the patient's head tilting during surgery and to provide comfortable support for the patient during prolonged periods. An airbag assembly 3 is also provided here. The airbag assembly 3 is located at the upper end of the bottom support cotton 2 and includes a head support airbag 31 and a neck support airbag 32. The head support airbag 31 is located in the head support area 101 near the top of the head. The neck support airbag 32 is located in the neck support area 102. The area between the head support airbag 31 and the neck support airbag 32 is designed for the back of the head to be positioned. Both the head support airbag 31 and the neck support airbag 32 are inflated and deflated by their respective control devices 9. Specifically, there are three scenarios for head positioning control: First, when a flat head position is required, both airbags are inflated or deflated. When inflated, both airbags are at the same height. When deflated, they can be used as a head-flattening pillow core through the support of the bottom support cotton 2. The consistency of height here can be defined by patient feedback or doctor's observation. Second, when a flat head position is required... When the head is lowered, the head support airbag 31 needs to be inflated to a greater height than the neck support airbag 32, or the head support airbag 31 needs to be inflated while the neck support airbag 32 does not. When the head is raised, the head support airbag 31 needs to be inflated to a lower height than the neck support airbag 32, or the head support airbag 31 needs to be inflated while the neck support airbag 32 does not. The specific height and mode can be determined by the doctor's observation and the patient's comfort feedback. This saves the doctor from the tedious work of finding different cushions to achieve a comfortable position, greatly facilitating the doctor's work efficiency and improving the patient's comfort.
[0032] The fixing strap assembly 4 is used to fix the base plate 1 of the fixing pillow B to the dental chair A. Since the base plate 1 is made of hard plastic, it can be fixed by straps. Specifically, one end of the fixing strap assembly 4 is connected to the base plate 1, and the other end can be connected to the other end of the base plate 1 after passing around the bottom of the head of the dental chair A to fix the headrest device to the dental chair A. The fixing strap assembly 4 can be one or two straps. In terms of the material selection of the strap body, one end can be directly sewn to the base plate 1, and the other end can be made of Velcro material. After passing around the bottom of the head of the dental chair A near the head A1, it can be folded and glued to the fixing buckle on the other side of the base plate 1. Of course, other fixing methods can also be used, such as buckles, snaps, etc.
[0033] Specifically, to improve the comfort of head support, a top support cotton 5 is also included. The top support cotton 5 is located above the airbag assembly 3. The upper end of the top support cotton 5 is wrapped with a top fabric layer 6. Preferably, the thickness of the top support cotton 5 is less than the thickness of the bottom support cotton 2. The material is memory foam, and the top fabric layer 6 is made of antibacterial and waterproof fabric. In actual use, in order to facilitate quick replacement of the top fabric layer 6 between different patients, the edge of the top fabric layer 6 is provided with elastic bands. When the previous patient has finished using it, the previous top fabric layer 6 can be quickly removed and replaced with a new top fabric layer 6. Then, the top fabric layer 6 used up that day can be disinfected and put back into circulation.
[0034] Specifically, the fixing strap assembly 4 includes a first fixing strap 41 and a second fixing strap 42. The left side of the headrest area 101 of the base plate 1 has a left upper fixing buckle 11 and a left lower fixing buckle 12 respectively, from top to bottom. The right side of the headrest area 101 of the base plate 1 has a right upper fixing buckle 13 and a right lower fixing buckle 14 respectively, from top to bottom. One end of the first fixing strap 41 is fixed to the position of the left lower fixing buckle 12, and the other end can be fixed to the right upper fixing buckle 13 after passing around the bottom of the dental chair A. One end of the second fixing strap 42 is fixed to the position of the right lower fixing buckle 14, and the other end can be fixed to the left upper fixing buckle 11 after passing around the bottom of the dental chair A. Preferably, the ends of the fixing straps are fixed with Velcro. For specific fixing methods, please refer to the foregoing description. All the fixing buckles mentioned above are loop buckles or hanging holes, as long as they can pass through the fixing straps.
[0035] Specifically, most dental surgery patients need to wear an eye shield or a diaphragm to cover their eyes to prevent medication from splashing into them. This can cause fear in some patients. Therefore, an eye shield assembly 7 is included. The eye shield assembly 7 includes an eye shield body 71 and eye shield fixing straps 72. The base plate 1 has a left center fixing buckle 15 and a right center fixing buckle 16 on both sides. The eye shield fixing straps 72 include a left fixing strap 721 and a right fixing strap 722. One side of the left fixing strap 721 is connected to the left side of the eye shield body 71, and the other side is connected to the left center fixing strap. The right fixing strap 722 is connected to the right side of the eye mask body 71 on one side and to the right middle fixing buckle 16 on the other side. Preferably, the left fixing strap 721 and the right fixing strap 722 are connected to their respective fixing buckles by Velcro. The left fixing strap 721 and the right fixing strap 722 are preferably made of elastic material. The eye mask assembly 7 can be put on by the patient after the airbag assembly 3 is adjusted. According to the different age groups of patients, eye masks of various sizes can be set to fit children, teenagers and adults.
[0036] Specifically, the eye mask body 71 has an eye socket cotton 73 inside, and the eye mask body 71 also has a lens body, which can be used for the patient to observe the external environment. Here, the lens body is preferably set with a tea lens, which has a light transmittance of less than 50% to avoid strong light shining into the eyes. This fixed head pillow also provides an eye mask assembly, allowing the patient to open their eyes and see clearly during the operation to overcome fear. The eye mask has a fixing function and a light-blocking function, which helps to fix the patient's head while the dark lens can also protect the patient's eyes during the operation.
[0037] Specifically, a wire buckle 8 is provided on one side of the base plate 1, and the control device 9 includes a pump body 91, a wire 92, and a switch 93. The pump body 91 is located inside the airbag assembly 3, and the switch 93 is connected to the pump body 91 through the wire 92. The wire buckle 8 is provided with a wire buckle groove 81 for the wire 92 to be inserted. In one embodiment, the pump body 91 uses a pre-purchased component. An air pump is installed inside the pump body 91. The air pump is controlled to open and close by a solenoid valve. The air pump has two forms: one is a single air pump form, in which the air pump has two working modes: inflation and deflation. The internal motor has two working modes: forward and reverse. When using dual air pumps, one air pump output port faces inward to inflate the airbag, and the other air pump output port faces outward to deflate the airbag. This configuration allows for flexible configuration of the pump body 91. Ultimately, the PLC program controls the system, and a panel is set on the switch 93. The control devices 9 of multiple airbags are linked, such as the inflation time and deflation time. Finally, it can be set to enter the head-up, head-down, or head-down mode with one button, adapting to the comfortable position of most patients. If fine adjustments are needed, the doctor can make them, thus saving the doctor's adjustment time.
[0038] Specifically, to strengthen the fixing force between the base plate 1 and the dental chair A and increase the anti-slip properties, the bottom of the base plate 1 is provided with silicone anti-slip particles 17. The bottom of the silicone anti-slip particles 17 is provided with anti-slip holes 171 or anti-slip grooves. In particular, the anti-slip holes 171 are provided because the surface of the dental chair A is usually made of hard leather, which is relatively smooth. By setting the anti-slip holes 171, the anti-slip strength can be greatly improved. Combined with the anti-slip effect of the silicone material, the installation can be as stable as screws. This device is only added to the original dental chair A and does not damage the original structure of the dental chair A. When other short-term basic checks are required and the fixing pillow B is not needed, the fixing strap assembly 4 can be quickly released and the fixing pillow B can be removed.
[0039] Specifically, in certain situations, patients may require a head-tilting or head-leaning position. In this case, both the neck-supporting airbag 32 and the head-supporting airbag 31 include a left airbag 301 and a right airbag 302, meaning there are a total of four airbags. Each airbag chamber is inflated and deflated by a different control device 9. As mentioned above, the control devices 9 for the four different chambers can be linked together, allowing for one-button setting of the airbag inflation and deflation combination for tilting the head to the left or right, which is very practical.
[0040] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
