Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lumbar support pillow technology, and in particular to a lumbar support pillow for pregnant women. Background Technology
[0002] In prenatal care, lumbar support pillows have become a common aid for many pregnant women to alleviate lower back discomfort. Their basic principle is to support the abdomen, back, and legs when the pregnant woman is lying on her side, reducing the load on the lumbar spine and improving sleeping posture through a specific design. However, existing lumbar support pillows are relatively simple in function, with their core role mainly focused on physical support and posture maintenance.
[0003] However, as pregnancy progresses, hormonal changes and fetal weight gain can exacerbate lumbar lordosis, causing chronic tension and fatigue in the lumbar muscles. This not only results in soreness but may even trigger spasms, making simple static support insufficient for deeper relief. During nighttime rest, persistent lower back pain often disrupts sleep quality, and pregnant women are often unable to effectively massage and relax themselves. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of lumbar support pillow that provides stable physical support while also offering gentle and safe massage to proactively relieve muscle fatigue and provide pregnant women with a more comprehensive and comfortable rest experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above situation and in order to make up for the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lumbar support pillow for pregnant women, which effectively solves the problem that existing lumbar support pillows cannot provide massage.
[0005] The technical solution is as follows: This utility model includes a right-angled triangular support shell, a connecting cloth at the lower end of the support shell, a support block at the right end of the connecting cloth, a rectangular moving groove on the inclined surface of the support shell, a moving plate slidably connected in the moving groove, a plurality of evenly distributed and rotatable massage plates on the moving plate, a plurality of massage balls evenly distributed along their circumference on the massage plates, a U-shaped support plate at the left end of the moving plate, a clearance groove on the support plate, a rotating column located below the support plate and rotatable inside the support shell, a swing rod at the upper end of the rotating column, and a swing column inserted into the clearance groove on the swing rod.
[0006] Preferably, the support shell contains a motor, and the motor output shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating column.
[0007] Preferably, the massage plate is rotatably connected to the moving plate, the lower end of the massage plate is coaxially provided with a rotating gear, the lower end of the moving plate is provided with a transmission gear located between multiple rotating gears and capable of meshing with the rotating gear, and the support shell is provided with a rack located above the transmission gear and capable of meshing with the transmission gear on the upper side.
[0008] Preferably, the inclined surface of the support shell is provided with a sponge block that blocks the moving groove, and an electric heating blanket is provided at the upper end of the sponge block.
[0009] Preferably, the front end of the support shell is provided with a control module, which is electrically connected to the motor and the electric blanket.
[0010] Preferably, the abdominal support block is made of latex.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By integrating physical support with gentle dynamic massage, and by setting a motor-driven composite massage mechanism in the core support area of the lumbar support pillow, the pregnant woman's waist not only receives close support to relieve lumbar spine pressure when resting on her side, but also receives cyclic kneading massage from the massage balls. This automated massage effectively relaxes the lumbar muscles that are constantly tense due to the burden of pregnancy, actively relieving soreness and fatigue. Combined with the heat therapy effect of the built-in electric blanket, it can further promote local blood circulation, thereby fundamentally improving the passive support performance of traditional lumbar support pillows, improving the sleep quality and rest experience of pregnant women, and all functions can be conveniently adjusted through the control module, making it safe, reliable, and easy to operate.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the implementations of the base model disclosed below.
[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Depend on Figures 1 to 6 The support shell 1 is provided, which includes a right-angled triangular support shell 1. The lower end of the support shell 1 is provided with a connecting cloth 2. The right end of the connecting cloth 2 is provided with a support block 3. A rectangular moving groove 4 is opened on the inclined surface of the support shell 1. A moving plate 5 is slidably connected in the moving groove 4. Multiple evenly distributed and rotatable massage plates 6 are provided on the moving plate 5. Multiple massage balls 7 are evenly distributed along their circumference on the massage plate 6. A U-shaped support plate 8 is provided on the left end of the moving plate 5. A clearance groove 9 is opened on the support plate 8. A rotating column 10 is provided in the support shell 1, which is located below the support plate 8 and is rotatable. A swing rod 11 is provided at the upper end of the rotating column 10. A swing column 12 inserted into the clearance groove 9 is provided on the swing rod 11.
[0023] In order to make the rotating column 10 rotate, a motor 13 is provided inside the support shell 1, and the output shaft of the motor 13 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating column 10.
[0024] To enable the massage plate 6 to rotate, the massage plate 6 is rotatably connected to the moving plate 5. The lower end of the massage plate 6 is coaxially provided with a rotating gear 14. The lower end of the moving plate 5 is provided with a transmission gear 15 located between multiple rotating gears 14 and capable of meshing with the rotating gears 14. The support shell 1 is provided with a rack 16 located above the transmission gear 15 and capable of meshing with the upper transmission gear 15.
[0025] For ease of use, a sponge block 17 with a sliding groove 4 is provided on the inclined surface of the support shell 1, and an electric blanket 18 is provided on the upper end of the sponge block 17.
[0026] To facilitate control of the massage speed and the temperature of the electric blanket 18, a control module 19 is provided at the front end of the support shell 1. The control module 19 is electrically connected to the motor 13 and the electric blanket 18.
[0027] For ease of use, the abdominal support block 3 is made of latex.
[0028] When using this utility model, if a pregnant woman needs to use it, she should first place it on the bed and lie between the support shell 1 and the belly support block 3. The user should adopt a side-lying position and place the belly support block 3 under the abdomen to provide support. At the same time, the waist should naturally fit against the sponge block 17 on the inclined surface of the support shell 1. When starting the device, the motor 13 is turned on through the control module 19 and the appropriate temperature of the electric blanket 18 is set. After the motor 13 starts, it drives the rotating column 10 to rotate. The swing rod 11 on the rotating column 10 swings accordingly, forcing the swing column 12 to reciprocate in the relief groove 9 of the support plate 8, thereby driving the moving plate 5 to slide rhythmically back and forth in the moving groove 4, thus realizing the sliding massage of the pregnant woman's waist in the front and back directions. During this process, the rotating gear 14 above the moving plate 5 meshes with the rack 16 fixed inside the support shell 1, which in turn drives all the rotating gears 14 to rotate synchronously via the transmission gear 15, ultimately causing each massage plate 6 to rotate. Combined with the forward and backward movement of the moving plate 5, this achieves both forward and backward movement massage and rotational massage of the pregnant woman's waist. This composite movement allows multiple massage balls 7 to perform cyclic kneading massage on the user's waist in a gentle and comprehensive manner. At the same time, the heat generated by the electric blanket 18 is transferred to the waist through the sponge block 17, further promoting blood circulation and muscle relaxation, thereby achieving a synergistic care effect of support, heat application, and dynamic massage. After use, the power is turned off through the control module 19, and all moving parts stop working.
[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By integrating physical support with a gentle dynamic massage function, and by setting a motor-driven composite massage mechanism in the core support part of the lumbar support pillow, the pregnant woman's waist can not only receive close support to relieve lumbar spine pressure when resting on her side, but also receive cyclic kneading massage from the massage balls. This automated massage can effectively relax the lumbar muscle groups that are constantly tense due to the burden of pregnancy, and actively relieve soreness and fatigue. Combined with the heat therapy effect of the built-in electric blanket, it can further promote local blood circulation, thereby fundamentally improving the passive support performance of traditional lumbar support pillows, improving the sleep quality and rest experience of pregnant women, and all functions can be conveniently adjusted through the control module, which is safe, reliable, and easy to operate. This structure is simple, novel in design, convenient to use, and highly practical.
[0030] It should be noted that, depending on the implementation needs, the various components described in the embodiments of this utility model can be split into more components, or two or more components or parts of components can be combined into new components to achieve the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0031] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
