Inclined sleeping pillow for heart failure patients

Abstract

This utility model discloses a sloped sleeping pillow for heart failure patients, belonging to the field of sleeping pillow technology. It includes a base plate with two fixed blocks fixedly connected to it; two second hinge rods, each hinged to one of the fixed blocks, and each second hinge rod has a first hinge rod hinged to its outer side. By setting a support plate and a sponge pad, when the motor of the drive mechanism moves the moving block closer to the bearing seat, the angle between the bottom of the first and second hinge rods decreases, causing the first hinge rod to push one end of the support plate upwards, increasing the slope angle. Conversely, when the moving block moves away from the bearing seat, the angle between the bottom of the first and second hinge rods increases, causing the first hinge rod to pull one end of the support plate downwards, decreasing the slope angle. This allows for pillow angle adjustment, meeting the needs of patients at various lying angles and providing convenient use.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sleep pillow technology, specifically a sloping sleep pillow for patients with heart failure. Background Technology

[0002] Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the heart's inability to effectively pump blood, leading to insufficient perfusion of tissues throughout the body and / or pulmonary congestion. HF patients require long-term comprehensive management, including medication, lifestyle modifications, and prevention of complications. HF patients often experience paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, or sleep apnea; therefore, elevating the head of the bed (30°-45°) reduces venous return and alleviates nocturnal dyspnea.

[0003] Existing methods to prevent heart failure patients from lying flat usually involve using pillows or adjusting the bed frame. However, when chronic heart failure patients are in a stable phase, they do not need to be hospitalized. The bed frame at home cannot be adjusted to support the angle, and the method of increasing the height by stacking pillows for support is not stable and inconvenient to use. Therefore, a sloping sleeping pillow for heart failure patients is proposed.

[0004] The information disclosed above in this background section is only for enhancing the understanding of the background section of this invention, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a sloped sleeping pillow for patients with heart failure, which can meet the needs of patients to use it at multiple angles when lying down and is convenient to use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sloping sleeping pillow for heart failure patients, comprising: a base plate, on which two fixing blocks are fixedly connected; two second hinge rods, each hinged to one of the two fixing blocks, and each of the two second hinge rods having a first hinge rod hinged to its exterior; a support plate, hinged to one end of each of the two first hinge rods, the support plate having a groove inside, a sliding rod slidably connected inside the groove, the sliding rod being fixedly connected between the two second hinge rods; a sponge pad, the sponge pad being adhered to the support plate; and a driving mechanism, mounted on the base plate, for driving the first hinge rods.

[0008] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a motor mounted on the base plate. A bearing seat and a support threaded sleeve are also fixedly connected to the base plate. A lead screw is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the support threaded sleeve. One end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the bearing seat. Connecting rods are rotatably connected to the ends of the two first hinge rods away from the support plate. A moving block is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods. The moving block is threadedly connected to the lead screw. One end of the lead screw is drively connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0009] Preferably, a housing is fixedly connected to the base plate, the outside of the housing is covered with a rubber pad, and the output shaft of the motor passes through the housing and the rubber pad.

[0010] Preferably, a box body is fixedly connected to the base plate, a placement box is fixedly connected to the outside of the box body, and a partition is fixedly connected to the inside of the placement box.

[0011] Preferably, a head support pad and a sponge block are fixedly connected to the sponge pad.

[0012] Preferably, a covering fabric is sewn onto the outside of the sponge pad, and one end of the covering fabric is fixedly connected to the box body.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention, by setting up a support plate and a sponge pad, allows the moving block driven by the motor of the drive mechanism to approach the bearing seat. This causes the angle between the bottom of the first and second hinge rods to decrease, thus pushing one end of the support plate upwards and increasing the slope angle. Conversely, when the moving block moves away from the bearing seat, the angle between the bottom of the first and second hinge rods increases, causing the first hinge rod to pull one end of the support plate downwards and decreasing the slope angle. This allows for pillow angle adjustment, meeting the needs of patients at various lying angles and providing convenient use.

[0015] The above overview is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments, and features described above, further aspects, embodiments, and features of the invention will become readily apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a sloping sleeping pillow for patients with heart failure, comprising: a base plate 1, two second hinge rods 5, a support plate 11, a sponge pad 19, and a drive mechanism mounted on the base plate 1 for driving the first hinge rod 4.

[0023] Two fixing blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the base plate 1; two second hinge rods 5 are respectively hinged to the two fixing blocks 10, and the outside of the two second hinge rods 5 are respectively hinged to the first hinge rods 4; the support plate 11 is hinged to one end of the two first hinge rods 4, and the support plate 11 has a sliding groove 12 inside, and a sliding rod 13 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 12, and the sliding rod 13 is fixedly connected between the two second hinge rods 5; the sponge pad 19 is adhered to the support plate 11.

[0024] In use, the motor 14 of the drive mechanism drives the lead screw 8 to rotate in both directions. The rotation of the lead screw 8 drives the moving block 6 to move back and forth. When the moving block 6 approaches the bearing seat 3, the angle between the bottom of the first hinge rod 4 and the second hinge rod 5 becomes smaller, thereby causing the first hinge rod 4 to push one end of the support plate 11 to rise, increasing the slope angle.

[0025] When the moving block 6 moves away from the bearing seat 3, the angle between the bottom of the first hinge rod 4 and the second hinge rod 5 increases, thereby causing the first hinge rod 4 to pull one end of the support plate 11 down, reducing the slope angle, completing the adjustment, and making it easier to use.

[0026] The drive mechanism includes a motor 14, which is mounted on a base plate 1. A bearing seat 3 and a support threaded sleeve 9 are also fixedly connected to the base plate 1. A lead screw 8 is threadedly connected inside the support threaded sleeve 9. One end of the lead screw 8 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 3. Two first hinge rods 4 are rotatably connected to connecting rods 7 at their ends away from the support plate 11. A moving block 6 is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods 7. The moving block 6 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 8. One end of the lead screw 8 is drively connected to the output shaft of the motor 14.

[0027] In order to cover the motor 14 and support the patient's back, a housing 15 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The outside of the housing 15 is covered with a rubber pad 16, and the output shaft of the motor 14 passes through the housing 15 and the rubber pad 16.

[0028] In order to facilitate the placement of spare medicines and water and make it convenient for patients to take their own medicines, a box 17 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1, a placement box 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the box 17, and a partition 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the placement box 2.

[0029] To improve user comfort, a head support pad 20 and a sponge block 21 are fixedly connected to the sponge pad 19.

[0030] In order to cover part of the mechanical structure inside the box 17, a covering cloth 18 is sewn to the outside of the sponge pad 19, and one end of the covering cloth 18 is fixedly connected to the box 17.

[0031] The motor 14 is electrically connected to an external mains power supply, and an electrical switch is provided to control the start and stop of the motor 14, thereby controlling the motor 14. This implementation method is something that those skilled in the art can easily conceive of and implement. The motor 14 and the electrical switch are also available for purchase, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: In use, the motor 14 of the drive mechanism drives the lead screw 8 to rotate in both directions. The rotation of the lead screw 8 drives the moving block 6 to move back and forth. When the moving block 6 is close to the bearing seat 3, the angle between the bottom of the first hinge rod 4 and the second hinge rod 5 becomes smaller, thereby causing the first hinge rod 4 to push one end of the support plate 11 to rise, increasing the slope angle. When the moving block 6 is away from the bearing seat 3, the angle between the bottom of the first hinge rod 4 and the second hinge rod 5 becomes larger, thereby causing the first hinge rod 4 to pull one end of the support plate 11 to fall, reducing the slope angle and completing the adjustment for easy use. The interior of the placement box 2 is fixedly connected with a partition 22, dividing it into two spaces of different sizes, which is convenient for placing spare medicines and water, making it convenient for patients to take their own medicine.
