Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of emergency department nursing, specifically an adjustable head and neck support pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Adjustable head and neck support pillows have played a significant role in emergency department nursing, especially in providing a novel non-invasive intervention for patients with cervical spine disease rehabilitation, postoperative care, and sleep disorders, thereby improving disease prevention, functional recovery, and quality of life. They are of great importance in rehabilitation medicine.

[0003] In major hospitals, when patients need to stay in bed for a long time, they need to adjust the pillow to provide appropriate support for the neck and head for extended periods. For patients who require this, it is often necessary to elevate the neck and head at appropriate angles.

[0004] However, the applicant believes that the shortcomings are: 1. Under the current technology, some head and neck pillows are a single piece, making it difficult to adjust the height for use. This makes it inconvenient for doctors to adjust the height of the pillow according to the patient's body shape and needs, thus reducing the pillow's applicability; 2. The surface of some pillows is too flat, which is insufficient for neck support. Furthermore, due to different body shapes and pillow usage habits of patients, the fixed neck support point has the disadvantage of not being very comfortable.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an adjustable head and neck support pillow to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable head and neck support pillow to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable head and neck support pillow, including a base, with limit posts slidably connected to both sides of the base, hinge posts fixedly connected to both sides of the base, and a pillow hinged to the other side of the hinge posts, a ball screw rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the base via a bearing seat, a motor mounted on one side of the ball screw, a ball sleeve rotatably mounted on the surface of the ball screw via a thread, and connecting posts fixedly connected to both sides of the ball sleeve; The pillow has a movable neck support on its surface, and connecting straps are fixedly connected to both sides of the neck support. Velcro is fixedly installed on both sides of the pillow and the inside of the connecting straps.

[0008] Preferably, a latex pad is fixedly laid on the surface of the base. The latex material can effectively protect the patient's head and neck from collision with the base of the device. The latex material has advantages such as high resilience, anti-aging, breathability and moisture resistance.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the base has a square groove that matches the shape of the ball thread sleeve. The ball thread sleeve is movably inserted into the square groove. The matching groove reduces the resistance when the ball thread sleeve moves. By adjusting the angle slightly, the pillow angle can be adjusted.

[0010] Preferably, the base has arc-shaped grooves on both sides, and a connecting post is inserted through the arc-shaped groove. The other end of the connecting post is hinged to one end of the limiting post. The connecting post restricts the displacement of the ball sleeve and the limiting post, so that the ball sleeve can effectively drive the movement of the limiting post.

[0011] Preferably, the neck support is made of latex material, the surface of the neck support has ventilation holes, the two sides of the neck support are fixedly connected with connecting straps, and the inner side of the connecting straps is fixed with Velcro hooks. The latex and ventilation holes can provide the overall comfort of the pillow, and the ventilation holes can increase the breathability of the pillow, making it less likely to develop bedsores after lying down for a long time.

[0012] Preferably, the pillow is made of soft memory foam, and the Velcro is the fleece side of the Velcro. Memory foam has the advantages of slow elasticity, not easy to collapse, long service life, and adaptive support. The hook side of the connecting strap is bonded to the cotton side of the Velcro. The Velcro can adjust the support angle of the pillow and can be removed when neck support is not needed, making it convenient to adjust the position of the neck support.

[0013] This utility model provides an adjustable head and neck support pillow, which has the following beneficial effects: By using a base, limiting column, hinge column, ball screw, and motor in combination, the overall height of the head and neck pillow can be adjusted. The height of the pillow can be finely adjusted through the hinge connection, which is not only convenient but also requires no assistance from others. Patients can adjust the height themselves to find a suitable angle for different patients. The height adjustment of the head and neck pillow supports the tilt of the patient's head and neck when facing patients of different body types. For example, during medical procedures such as intubation, the tilt angle of the patient's head and neck can be adjusted according to the pillow, making it more convenient for doctors to operate.

[0014] By using the neck brace, pillow, Velcro, and connecting straps together, the pillow can provide multi-directional support for the neck. It provides an adjustable neck support area for the entire pillow, offering targeted support for patients of different body types. Elevating the neck can distribute pressure on the neck muscles, reduce muscle strain, and make the pillow more conform to the human body. The adhesive Velcro also provides more options for pillow use. Smaller patients can adjust the neck brace to the lower part of the pillow, while larger patients can adjust it to the upper part. Some patients who prefer a flatter pillow can remove the neck brace and adjust it as needed. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment proposes an adjustable head and neck support pillow, including a base 1, with limiting posts 2 slidably connected to both sides of the base 1, and hinge posts 3 fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1. A pillow 6 is hinged to the other side of the hinge posts 3. A ball screw 4 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the base 1 through a bearing seat, and a motor 9 is installed on one side of the ball screw 4. A ball sleeve 7 is rotatably fitted on the surface of the ball screw 4 through a thread, and connecting posts 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the ball sleeve 7. A latex pad is fixedly laid on the surface of the base 1. A square groove is opened at the top of the base 1, and the shape of the square groove is adapted to the ball sleeve 7. The ball sleeve 7 is movably inserted in the square groove. Arc-shaped sliding grooves are opened on both sides of the base 1, and connecting posts 8 are inserted through the arc-shaped grooves. The other end of the connecting post 8 is hinged to one end of the limiting post 2.

[0020] The motor 9 used in this application is a product that can be purchased directly on the market. The model of the motor 9 is NEMA-17. It can rotate in both directions and has a self-locking function. After the motor 9 drives the ball screw 4 to rotate, the motor 9 stops moving and internally locks itself, so that the ball sleeve 7 is locked in a certain position. Its principle and connection method are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0021] In the above embodiment, the device is controlled by an external power supply and an external remote control. When in use, the base 1 is placed in a suitable position. Before use, the pillow 6 is placed horizontally above the base 1. When the pillow 6 needs to be adjusted to a higher angle, the motor 9 is started clockwise. After the motor 9 starts, it drives the ball screw 4 to rotate clockwise, so that the ball sleeve 7 moves on the surface of the ball screw 4. The movement of the ball sleeve 7 drives the connecting post 8 to move synchronously in the arc groove of the base 1. At this time, the hinge angle of the limiting post 2 connected to the connecting post 8 changes, causing the pillow 6 to move upward with the hinge post 3 as the support point, so that the other end of the pillow 6 rotates on the surface of the hinge post 3. After adjusting to a suitable angle, the motor 9 is turned off. Finally, the angle of the pillow 6 tilts higher. When the pillow 6 needs to be lowered, the motor 9 is started counterclockwise in the same way.

[0022] Example 2 like Figure 5 As shown, based on the same concept as the above embodiment, this embodiment also proposes: a neck support 5 is movably provided on the surface of the pillow 6, and connecting straps 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the neck support 5; Velcro 10 is fixedly provided on both sides of the pillow 6 and the inner side of the connecting straps 11 respectively; the neck support 5 is made of latex material, and ventilation holes are opened on the surface of the neck support 5; connecting straps 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the neck support 5, and the hook side of the Velcro 10 is fixed on the inner side of the connecting straps 11; the pillow 6 is made of soft memory foam, the Velcro 10 is the fleece side of the Velcro, and the hook side of the connecting straps 11 is bonded to the fleece side of the Velcro 10.

[0023] In the above embodiment, when the patient needs neck support, the neck brace 5 is placed above the pillow 6, and the connecting straps 11 at both ends of the neck brace 5 are brought closer to the Velcro 10 so that the two sets of Velcro 10 are glued together, thereby fixing the position of the neck brace 5. When adjustment is needed, the two sets of Velcro 10 are separated, and the neck brace 5 is placed back on the pillow 6 in a suitable position. The patient lies on the pillow 6 with the neck located at the neck brace 5.
