Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a face pillow, and more particularly to a detachable face pillow, belonging to the field of medical devices. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine non-drug treatments such as cupping, acupuncture, and moxibustion on the back during the hottest days of summer all require a prone position. Therefore, face pillows are frequently used in these treatments. When in use, the face pillow is placed under the headrest of the treatment bed, and the patient lies prone with their face resting on it for flexible support. After use, to meet hygiene requirements, it generally needs to be replaced after each use. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN214343095U discloses a face and shoulder integrated face pillow and its assembly, specifically including a face pillow and a perforation. A face pillowcase is laid on the face pillow for use. However, the face pillowcase only covers one side and cannot fully surround the face pillow; the uncovered part may still come into contact with the patient. Therefore, the face pillow, as an independent unit, needs to be replaced as a whole after use to meet hygiene requirements, resulting in a high economic burden for patients. Furthermore, in cases involving multiple patients, frequent replacements significantly increase the usage and maintenance costs for medical institutions. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a detachable face pillow. This invention features a detachable design, requiring only the replacement of the face pad during use, thus saving on usage costs and reducing the economic burden on patients.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A detachable face pillow includes a pad and a soft pad. The pad has an inner opening in the middle, and an annular soft pad fixing piece is provided at the edge of the inner opening. The soft pad is placed on the pad, and the soft pad has a face support opening in the middle that fits with the inner opening. The soft pad fixing piece passes through the face support opening of the soft pad and flips outward. The outer side of the soft pad fixing piece is quickly connected to the surface of the pad and surrounds it to form an annular cavity that fits with the soft pad.
[0005] In the aforementioned detachable face pillow, the cushion is provided with a slot for placing aromatherapy sachets.
[0006] In the aforementioned detachable face pillow, the aromatherapy sachet placement slot is located on the back of the cushion and one end is connected to the face support opening.
[0007] In the aforementioned detachable face pillow, the outer side of the soft pad fixing piece is provided with multiple Velcro female ends, and the surface of the pad towel is provided with multiple Velcro male ends arranged in a ring. The Velcro female ends and the Velcro male ends are adapted to be connected.
[0008] In the aforementioned detachable face pillow, the top of the face support opening is provided with symmetrically arranged eyebrow-fitting side grooves, the bottom of the face support opening is provided with chin-fitting side grooves, and the sides of the face support opening are provided with cheekbone-fitting protrusions.
[0009] In the aforementioned detachable face pillow, the eyebrow fitting side groove, the cheekbone fitting protrusion, and the chin fitting side groove are connected in sequence, and the connection points are rounded.
[0010] In the aforementioned detachable face pillow, the cushion fixing piece is made of cotton material.
[0011] In the aforementioned detachable face pillow, the cushion is made of silicone.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this invention allows for the following steps: Before use, a pad is laid on the treatment bed, with the inner opening aligned with the head support opening. The pad fixing piece is then passed through the face support opening of the pad, and laid outwards to connect with the surface of the pad. The annular cavity formed by the two acts as a containment and restraint for the pad, completing the installation. The patient lies prone on the treatment bed, with their face placed on the pad via the pad fixing piece. The face support opening of the pad conforms to the shape of the face, creating a uniform fit and enhancing comfort. After treatment, the pad fixing piece is lifted to release the restraint on the pad, the pad is removed, and a new pad is replaced. The pad is then reinserted and re-wrapped, completing a new round of installation. This method meets hygiene requirements while avoiding the need for complete replacement. Only a spare pad is required, saving on usage costs and reducing the financial burden on patients. Furthermore, an aromatherapy sachet can be placed in the aromatherapy sachet slot within the pad. The aromatherapy sachet placed inside the pad allows fragrance to diffuse directly to the patient's nose, fully realizing the aromatherapy function. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0016] Example: A detachable face pillow, as shown in the attached image. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a cotton pad 1 and a silicone ring-shaped soft pad 2. The pad measures 84×48cm. A 16×19cm inner opening 3 is cut into the center of the pad 1. The soft pad 2 has a 10×10cm face support opening 4 integrally formed in the center, fitting the inner opening 3. The outer diameter of the soft pad is 31cm. A ring-shaped soft pad fixing piece 5 is sewn to the edge of the inner opening 3. The outer side of the soft pad fixing piece 5 is quickly and easily connected to the surface of the pad 1, forming a ring-shaped cavity that fits the soft pad 2. Six female Velcro ends 7 are attached to the outer side of the soft pad fixing piece 5, and six male Velcro ends 8 are attached to the surface of the pad 1 in a ring. The female and male Velcro ends 7 and 8 are matched and bonded one-to-one for quick release. Alternatively, female snap fasteners can be provided on the outer side of the soft pad fixing piece, and male snap fasteners can be attached to the surface of the pad 1. The female and male snap fasteners can be inserted and fixed for quick release. (See attached image.) Figure 4 As shown, the top of the facial support 4 has symmetrically arranged eyebrow-fitting side grooves 9 integrally formed, the bottom of the facial support 4 has an integrally formed chin-fitting side groove 10, and the sides of the facial support 4 have integrally formed cheekbone-fitting protrusions 11. When the patient is in a prone position, the three prominent facial features—eyebrow, cheekbone, and chin—fit against the corresponding side grooves or protrusions, forming support. While the fitting area is small, it provides sufficient support by using the main hard parts of the face for restraint and limiting, preventing the patient's head from slipping out of the inner opening, thus ensuring good reliability. The eyebrow-fitting side grooves 9, cheekbone-fitting protrusions 11, and chin-fitting side grooves 10 are sequentially connected, with rounded corners at the joints to avoid sharp protrusions and improve comfort. Since the prone position easily leads to nasal congestion and nasal obstruction, difficulty breathing can cause patients to fear treatment. Aromatherapy is often used clinically to relieve nasal congestion. However, because the patient's nose passes through the treatment bed and faces downwards, aromatherapy cannot be placed close to the patient, thus failing to fully exert its function. Therefore, as shown in the attached... Figure 5 As shown, the soft pad 2 has an integrally formed aromatherapy sachet placement slot 6, which is formed on the back of the soft pad 2 and one end is connected to the face support 4, ensuring a smooth aroma path. The aroma evaporates from the connection point to the face support and is further inhaled by the patient's nose from bottom to top. The aromatherapy sachet placement slot 6 is positioned corresponding to the chin-fitting side groove 10, so that the aroma evaporation path is opposite to the direction of the patient's nostrils, further ensuring that the aroma can be fully inhaled. The soft pad fixing piece 5 is made of cotton material, which has good breathability and is also skin-friendly. The soft pad 2 is made of silicone material, which is soft and can accurately deform to fit the facial contours of different patients.
[0017] Working principle: Before use, lay the pad 1 flat on the surface of the treatment bed, so that the inner opening 3 in the middle of the pad 1 is precisely aligned with the head support opening of the treatment bed, so as to lay a basic position for subsequent facial support. Then, take out the soft pad 2, and insert the ring-shaped soft pad fixing piece 5, which is sewn on the edge of the inner opening 3 on the pad 1, into the facial support opening 4 in the middle of the soft pad 2. At the same time, put the aromatherapy bag into the aromatherapy bag placement slot 6 corresponding to the groove 10 on the back of the soft pad 2 that fits with the chin. One end of the aromatherapy bag placement slot 6 is connected to the facial support opening 4 to ensure a smooth evaporation path of the fragrance.
[0018] Then, the soft pad fixing piece 5, which passes through the face support opening 4, is laid out flat, so that the 6 Velcro female ends 7 on the outer side of the soft pad fixing piece 5 correspond one-to-one with the 6 Velcro male ends 8 distributed in a ring on the surface of the pad 1. The two are enclosed to form an annular cavity that fits the silicone soft pad 2, which can not only firmly wrap the soft pad 2 to prevent displacement, but also achieve quick-release connection for easy subsequent operation.
[0019] When the patient lies prone, the face is secured by a skin-friendly cotton pad 5, which contacts the pad 2. The eyebrow-fitting groove 9, cheekbone-fitting protrusion 11, and chin-fitting groove 10 on the face support 4 will respectively fit the main hard parts of the face, such as the eyebrows, cheekbones, and chin. The connection points of the three are all rounded to avoid sharp friction. This provides stable support through these parts, preventing the head from slipping off the inner opening 3. At the same time, the deformable properties of the silicone material of the pad 2 can adapt to the facial contours of different patients, improving the fit and comfort. The aroma of the aroma sachet in the aroma sachet placement slot 6 evaporates from the connection between the slot and the face support 4, directly facing the patient's nostrils, allowing the patient to inhale it at close range.
[0020] After treatment, simply lift the pad fixing piece 5 to quickly separate the female end 7 and the male end 8 of the Velcro, remove the pad 2, replace it with a new pad 1, and then put the pad 2 back into the annular cavity and fix it with the female end 7 and the male end 8 of the Velcro. This completes the preparation for a new round of use. This process does not require replacing the entire sleeping pillow, which not only meets hygiene requirements but also saves on usage costs and reduces the economic burden on patients.
[0021] The above embodiments merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. Furthermore, in these embodiments, "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back" represent relative positions only, not absolute positions. 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.
