Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pillow technology, and in particular to a pillow specifically designed for prone positioning. Background Technology
[0002] The most significant drawback of current prone-position pillows used in hospitals is their poor breathability. When patients lie prone for extended periods, their faces are in direct contact with the pillow. Because the pillow surface is often made of non-breathable sponge, it cannot effectively dissipate moisture from respiration and sweat from the skin, leading to a rapid buildup of heat and dampness, causing severe discomfort. This damp environment softens the skin's stratum corneum, causing maceration and making the skin abnormally fragile, greatly increasing the risk of pressure sores and worsening existing skin damage. Simultaneously, the hot and stuffy environment easily breeds bacteria, exacerbating acne or allergies on the patient's face. For patients with already limited respiratory function, the accumulated hot and humid air in front of the mouth and nose can further intensify feelings of suffocation and anxiety. Therefore, we propose a special prone-position pillow to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a pillow specifically for prone positioning.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A pillow specifically designed for prone positioning includes a ring-shaped pillow. The outer wall of the ring-shaped pillow has multiple through holes, and the inner walls of each of the multiple through holes are fixedly connected to a ventilation tube. A ring-shaped pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring-shaped pillow, and a ring-shaped silicone pad is fixedly embedded in the bottom of the ring-shaped pad. The bottom of the ring-shaped silicone pad has multiple threaded holes, and the inner walls of each of the multiple threaded holes are threadedly connected to threaded rods. The outer walls of each of the multiple threaded rods are threadedly fitted with a bottom sleeve. A support assembly is provided at the bottom of the ring-shaped pad.
[0006] Preferably, the support assembly includes multiple T-shaped columns, the bottom of multiple base sleeves is fixedly connected to the top of multiple T-shaped columns respectively, the outer wall of multiple T-shaped columns is fitted with the same support plate, and the bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected with a rubber pad.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the annular silicone pad is uniformly provided with multiple anti-slip protrusions, which can further increase the contact area and friction between the annular silicone pad and the bed surface.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the support plate has multiple T-shaped holes, and the inner walls of the multiple T-shaped holes are rotatably connected to the outer walls of the multiple T-shaped columns. The T-shaped structure of the T-shaped columns can restrict the horizontal movement of the support plate and ensure the stable connection between the support plate and the T-shaped columns.
[0009] Preferably, the outer walls of the plurality of threaded rods are threaded with locking caps, and the tops of the plurality of locking caps are pressed against the bottom of the annular pad. The locking caps use friction to fix the position of the threaded rods and prevent the threaded rods from rotating due to vibration or pressure during use.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the ring-shaped pillow is attached with a ring-shaped cotton pad. The ring-shaped cotton pad is made of cotton material and has a certain sweat-absorbing capacity, which can absorb a small amount of sweat from the patient's face.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0012] This design utilizes the perforations and ventilation tubes on the circular pillow to create an airflow channel, venting moisture from the patient's breath and preventing localized stuffiness and dampness. Furthermore, the height-adjustable support structure ensures that patients maintain a stable and comfortable position when wearing oxygen masks and other equipment, while the rubber pads and anti-slip bumps together guarantee overall stability during use.

[0019] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Depend on Figures 1-4 As shown, a pillow specifically designed for prone positioning is disclosed, comprising a circular pillow 1 filled with sponge. The circular pillow 1 prevents the face from directly pressing against the bed surface. The outer wall of the circular pillow 1 has multiple through holes 2, and the inner wall of each through hole 2 is fixedly connected to a ventilation tube 3. The ventilation tube 3 guides and regulates the airflow through the through holes 2, improving the efficiency of air circulation and discharging the accumulated hot and humid air inside the circular pillow 1, preventing the hot and humid air from lingering near the through holes 2. Compared to a simple through hole 2, the ventilation tube 3 makes the ventilation function more stable.
[0021] The bottom of the circular pillow 1 is fixedly connected to a circular pad 4. The circular pad 4 can provide stable bottom support for the circular pillow 1, prevent the circular pillow 1 from deforming or collapsing due to the pressure of the patient's head, and ensure the stability of the overall structure of the pillow.
[0022] The bottom of the annular pad 4 is fixedly inlaid with an annular silicone pad 5. The bottom of the annular silicone pad 5 is evenly provided with multiple anti-slip protrusions 6. The anti-slip protrusions 6 can further increase the contact area and friction between the annular silicone pad 5 and the bed surface, and can effectively prevent the pillow from shifting, especially when the bed surface is slightly tilted or the patient's body moves slightly.
[0023] The bottom of the annular silicone pad 5 has multiple threaded holes 7, and the inner walls of the multiple threaded holes 7 are threaded with threaded rods 8. The threaded holes 7 allow the threaded rods 8 to be stably installed on the annular silicone pad 5. The threaded holes are used to screw the threaded rods 8 in and out, forming a detachable design. The outer walls of the multiple threaded rods 8 are threaded with bottom sleeves 9. Rotating the bottom sleeves 9 can adjust the height of the annular pillow 1.
[0024] The bottom of the annular pad 4 is provided with a support assembly, which includes multiple T-shaped columns 10. The bottom of multiple bottom sleeves 9 is fixedly connected to the top of multiple T-shaped columns 10 respectively. The outer wall of multiple T-shaped columns 10 is fitted with the same support plate 11. The bottom of the support plate 11 is fixedly connected with a rubber pad 12. The top of the support plate 11 is provided with multiple T-shaped holes. The inner wall of the multiple T-shaped holes is rotatably connected to the outer wall of multiple T-shaped columns 10 respectively. The T-shaped structure design of the T-shaped column 10 can restrict the horizontal movement of the support plate 11 and ensure the stable connection between the support plate 11 and the T-shaped column 10.
[0025] The outer walls of multiple threaded rods 8 are threaded with locking caps 13. The tops of the multiple locking caps 13 are pressed against the bottom of the annular pad 4. Rotating the locking caps 13 makes their tops press tightly against the bottom of the annular pad 4, using friction to fix the position of the threaded rods 8 and prevent the threaded rods 8 from rotating due to vibration or pressure during use.
[0026] A circular cotton pad 14 is attached to the top of the circular pillow 1. The circular cotton pad 14 is attached to the circular pillow 1 using existing Velcro, which can be replaced after use. The cotton material has a certain sweat-absorbing capacity and can absorb a small amount of sweat from the patient's face, keeping the facial skin dry.
[0027] Working principle: When in use, the patient's face is placed on the ring pillow 1. The ring cotton pad 14 at the top provides basic comfort. The breathability is achieved through multiple through holes 2 on the outer wall of the ring pillow 1. The breathable tubes 3 embedded in the through holes 2 can effectively exhaust the hot and humid air generated by the patient's breathing, avoiding local stuffiness. The entire pillow is supported by the ring pad 4 at the bottom, and the ring silicone pad 5 embedded at the bottom of the ring pad 4 and the anti-slip protrusions 6 at the bottom enhance the stability when placed.
[0028] When lying prone while wearing an oxygen mask, multiple threaded rods 8 are screwed into multiple threaded holes 7, and the overall height is adjusted by rotating the base sleeve 9 through the threaded rods 8. The locking cap 13 is used to lock and fix the overall height. The support force is transmitted through the support assembly. Specifically, the T-shaped column 10 connected to the bottom of the base sleeve 9 transmits the force to the support plate 11 sleeved on the outside of it, and the rubber pad 12 at the bottom of the support plate 11 provides the final stable support.
[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
