Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of child care products, specifically a novel multifunctional child care pillow for pediatric care. Background Technology

[0002] Pediatric nursing pillows are professional tools designed based on the special physiological and nursing needs of infants and young children. Through their scientific contours and adjustable support system, they effectively prevent and improve infant flat head syndrome, stabilize the head and neck, keep the airway clear, and use gravity to reduce the risk of spitting up and reflux.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN216628987U discloses a novel multifunctional child care pillow for pediatric care, which relates to the technical field of child care products and solves the problem of flat head caused by children lying on one side for a long time. The pillow includes a pillow body and an auxiliary support component. An installation groove is provided on the upper side of the pillow body, and a pillow core is provided inside the installation groove. A groove is provided on the back side of the pillow body. The auxiliary support component provides auxiliary support for the child's head when lying on the side and is installed on both sides of the pillow body.

[0004] This invention, by adding an auxiliary support component, can support the head of a child lying on their side after feeding, preventing choking on milk while lying flat due to movement, thus improving the stability of the child's side-lying position. It also helps correct the child's sleeping position, preventing flattened head caused by prolonged lying on one side, effectively increasing the versatility of the child care pillow. However, the existing multifunctional child care pillow for pediatric care has the following drawbacks during operation:

[0005] (1) This solution relies on metal mechanical structures such as screws, nuts, and bent rods to adjust and fix the support plate. During the adjustment process, both hands are required to operate the handle, and the hard parts are directly exposed around the child's head, posing a risk of accidental injury. At the same time, the mechanical structure has many gaps and complex cleaning dead corners, making it difficult to thoroughly disinfect and prone to bacterial growth, which cannot meet the strict hygiene and safety requirements of pediatric care;

[0006] (2) The support plate of this solution is made of rigid material and its curved shape is fixed. It cannot conform to the physiological curve of the head and neck of different children, which may create pressure points and result in poor comfort and adaptability. In addition, it still needs to occupy the space of the side groove of the pillow body when stored, resulting in a bulky overall structure and low portability and daily storage convenience. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model aims to provide a novel multifunctional children's nursing pillow for pediatric care. It primarily addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the need for two-handed operation of the handle during adjustment, and the direct exposure of hard components around a child's head, posing a risk of accidental injury. Furthermore, the mechanical structure has numerous gaps and complex cleaning blind spots, making thorough disinfection difficult and prone to bacterial growth, thus failing to meet the stringent hygiene and safety requirements of pediatric care.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A novel multifunctional pediatric care pillow includes a pillow core with a recessed head-accommodating area in the center. Symmetrical mounting grooves are arranged on both sides of the head-accommodating area. An auxiliary support component is provided on the pillow core, located within the head-accommodating area and above the pillow core, and installed within the mounting grooves. A quick-release pillowcase assembly is also provided on the pillow core and fitted onto it.

[0010] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model:

[0011] 1. Working Principle: This nursing pillow provides basic head support and comfort through a memory foam core. Its core function is achieved by an inflatable auxiliary support component. This component is inflated by a manually operated inflatable ball. After inflation, it forms a flexible, wraparound support structure on both sides of the head, thereby stabilizing and fixing the child's head and keeping the airway clear. After use, the inflatable ball can be stored directly in the special storage layer at the back of the pillowcase for easy management. The pillow core is wrapped in a high-elasticity quick-release pillowcase, which is fixed by magnetic attraction, allowing for quick removal and cleaning without disassembling the component.

[0012] 2. Beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) Existing technology uses a mechanical screw adjustment mechanism to fix and adjust the position of the auxiliary support plate, achieving the beneficial effect of stable support. However, the existing mechanism has many components and is cumbersome to operate, requiring both hands to rotate the handle. The hard metal rods are exposed near the child's head, posing a safety hazard of accidental bumps. At the same time, the complex mechanical structure has a large number of cleaning dead corners, making it difficult to thoroughly disinfect. This solution cannot meet the high-frequency hygiene needs of pediatric care. This solution replaces the complex mechanical structure by setting an auxiliary support component. Nurses only need to squeeze the inflatable ball with one hand to infinitely adjust the support height and hardness. The operation is simple and intuitive. All contact parts are made of flexible materials and can be wrapped with a quick-release magnetic pillowcase, achieving zero dead corner cleaning and fundamentally solving the problems of operational safety and hygiene.

[0014] (2) This solution uses a U-shaped auxiliary support airbag that is low in the front and high in the back and whose shape can be changed after inflation. Its pressure and shape can be flexibly adjusted according to the inflation volume. It can actively adapt to and perfectly fit the head and neck curves of different children, providing personalized support. After deflation, the volume is reduced sharply, which can achieve extremely flat storage, greatly improving the adaptability, comfort and portability of the product.

[0015] Preferably, the auxiliary support assembly includes two mounting airbags, each C-shaped and symmetrically arranged, located within a corresponding mounting groove. The mounting airbags engage with the inner wall of the corresponding mounting groove. A single auxiliary support airbag is positioned at the top of each mounting airbag. The mounting airbag and the auxiliary support airbag are integrally formed. The auxiliary support airbag is U-shaped and communicates with the mounting airbag. An internally threaded connecting cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the auxiliary support airbag furthest from the opening. The internally threaded connecting cylinder is connected to the auxiliary support airbag. The airbags are interconnected, and a connecting hose is internally threaded onto the internally threaded connecting cylinder. A one-way valve is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting hose away from the internally threaded connecting cylinder, and an inflation ball is fixedly connected to the end of the one-way valve away from the connecting hose. The tops of the two airbags are connected to form a single U-shaped auxiliary support airbag, creating a wraparound support for the child's head. This airbag system achieves unified inflation through a connected design and is connected to the connecting hose, one-way valve, and inflation ball via the internally threaded connecting cylinder. The internal pressure of the airbag can be adjusted by pressing the inflation ball, thereby flexibly adjusting the support height and force to adapt to different children's head contours and care needs.

[0016] Preferably, the auxiliary support airbag is designed with a lower front and higher back, with the opening of the auxiliary support airbag located on the front side. The mounting airbag is convex, and the mounting groove is concave. The auxiliary support airbag's design with a lower front and higher back better conforms to the natural physiological curve of a child's head and neck when lying on their back, helping to maintain an open airway. The mounting airbag and mounting groove are respectively designed with convex and concave shapes, which enhances the fit and stability during assembly, prevents displacement during use, and improves the overall safety and comfort of the support.

[0017] Preferably, the quick-release pillowcase assembly includes a pillowcase body located above the pillow core. The top surface of the pillowcase body has two symmetrically arranged recesses, which are connected to corresponding mounting slots. The bottom surface of each recess is fixedly connected to two first flexible magnetic strips. The front and rear sides of the pillow core are fixedly connected to second flexible magnetic strips. The first and second flexible magnetic strips magnetically attract each other, enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the pillowcase for easy cleaning and replacement, while avoiding the risk of skin scratches to children that may occur with traditional buttons or zippers.

[0018] Preferably, a storage layer is fixedly connected to the pillowcase body. The storage layer is located on the back side of the pillow core. After the air bladder is inflated, the caregiver can easily put the inflatable ball into it for storage, ensuring that the inflatable ball is always available, clean and safe, while maintaining the cleanliness and standardization of the care work surface.

[0019] Preferably, the pillow core is made of memory foam, with several ventilation holes on the top surface and a set of rubber anti-slip dots on the bottom. The memory foam material can slowly rebound according to the shape of a child's head and neck and provide even support, effectively dispersing pressure. The ventilation holes enhance air circulation, reduce stuffiness and sweat accumulation, and improve comfort. The rubber anti-slip dots increase friction with the bed surface or care platform, preventing the pillow from sliding and ensuring that the child maintains a stable position during care.

[0020] Preferably, the pillowcase body is made of high-elasticity knitted cotton, which has excellent elasticity and softness, can closely fit the shape of the pillow core without restricting the function of the airbag components, and provides a skin-friendly and breathable contact surface, suitable for children's delicate skin, and is also easy to wash and reuse.

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a novel multifunctional child care pillow for pediatric care includes a pillow core 1. The pillow core 1 has a recessed head-accommodating area in the middle, and mounting grooves 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the head-accommodating area. An auxiliary support component is provided on the pillow core 1, located within the head-accommodating area and above the pillow core 1. The auxiliary support component is installed in the mounting grooves 2. A quick-release pillowcase assembly is provided on the pillow core 1 and is fitted onto the pillow core 1.

[0028] More specifically, the auxiliary support component includes two mounting airbags 3, which are C-shaped and symmetrically arranged. Each airbag 3 is located within a corresponding mounting groove 2, and the airbags 3 engage with the inner wall of the groove. A single auxiliary support airbag 4 is attached to the top of each airbag 3. The airbags 3 and 4 are integrally formed. The auxiliary support airbag 4 is U-shaped and communicates with the airbags 3. An internally threaded connecting cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the auxiliary support airbag 4 furthest from the opening. The internally threaded connecting cylinder 5 communicates with the auxiliary support airbag 4. A connecting hose 6 is internally threaded onto the connecting hose 5. A one-way valve 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting hose 6 furthest from the connecting hose 6. An inflatable ball 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the one-way valve 7 furthest from the connecting hose 6. When deflated, the airbag 3 is in a soft, compressed state, with a volume significantly smaller than that of the mounting slot 2. This design allows caregivers to easily insert or remove the airbag 3 from the mounting slot 2, greatly simplifying the assembly process. After inflation, the airbag 3 expands in volume, and its convex outer wall forms an interference fit with the concave inner wall of the mounting slot 2. This physical snap-fit ​​generates a strong fixing force, ensuring that the components will not shift during use, thus improving the stability and reliability of nursing operations. The internally threaded connecting cylinder 5 and the connecting hose 6 are connected by threads, forming a separable inflation passage. This design allows caregivers to completely disassemble the inflation ball 8, one-way valve 7, and connecting hose 6 from the main body. This separability facilitates individual cleaning and disinfection of the inflation components and avoids damage to the interface caused by pulling the connecting hose 6 during disassembly and cleaning, extending the product's service life.

[0029] More specifically, the auxiliary support airbag 4 is positioned with a lower front and a higher rear. The opening of the auxiliary support airbag 4 is located on the front side, the mounting airbag 3 is convex, and the mounting groove 2 is concave. The auxiliary support airbag 4 adopts a special U-shaped three-dimensional structure, and its internal cavity is divided into multiple interconnected areas. When inflated, each area expands synchronously, but it can deform independently when compressed. This structure allows the auxiliary support airbag 4 to provide differentiated support for the child's occipital bone, parietal bone, and temporal region at the same time, achieving three-dimensional head wrapping, effectively limiting head tilt, while maintaining necessary flexibility to avoid creating local high pressure points.

[0030] More specifically, the quick-release pillowcase assembly includes a pillowcase body 9, which is located above the pillow core 1. Two recessed grooves 10 are formed on the top surface of the pillowcase body 9, arranged symmetrically. Each recessed groove 10 is connected to a corresponding mounting groove 2. Two first flexible magnetic strips 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the recessed groove 10. Second flexible magnetic strips 12 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the pillow core 1. The first flexible magnetic strips 11 and their corresponding second flexible magnetic strips 12 are magnetically attracted. The edges of the recessed grooves 10 and the opening edges of the mounting grooves 2 are precisely designed to completely overlap. When the first flexible magnetic strips 11 and 12 attract each other, the recessed grooves 10 automatically and accurately align with the mounting grooves 2. This design ensures that after the pillowcase is fixed, the auxiliary support components can be exposed to the outside world without obstruction through the recessed grooves 10, without affecting their functionality, while maintaining the cleanliness of the pillow surface.

[0031] More specifically, a storage layer 13 is fixedly connected to the pillowcase body 9. The storage layer 13 is located on the back side of the pillow core 1. The storage layer 13 is specifically used to store the inflatable ball 8 and its connecting parts. After the inflatable ball 8 is placed in, the elastic storage layer 13 will generate appropriate contraction force to fix it inside and prevent it from slipping out during transportation or use. This design not only keeps the bed surface clean, but more importantly, it avoids the pollution caused by the inflatable ball 8 coming into contact with other items, which complies with the medical device management regulations.

[0032] More specifically, the pillow core 1 is made of memory foam. The top surface of the pillow core 1 has several ventilation holes 14. The ventilation holes 14 are arranged in a specific array through the memory foam pillow core 1, forming a continuous air circulation channel. These channels can quickly conduct the heat and sweat vapor generated by the child's head from the bottom, instead of accumulating between the head and the pillow surface like ordinary pillows. This active heat dissipation and dehumidification mechanism significantly improves thermal comfort and is especially suitable for infants and young children whose body temperature regulation function is not yet fully developed. The bottom of the pillow core 1 has a set of rubber anti-slip dot matrix 15. Each anti-slip dot of the rubber anti-slip dot matrix 15 has a conical side and a wide base. When the pillow core 1 is subjected to vertical pressure, these anti-slip dots will extend slightly in all directions, increasing the contact area with the bed surface. At the same time, the conical structure allows the dot matrix to overcome horizontal shear force, producing a strong gripping effect, preventing the pillow from slipping when the child rolls over or moves, and ensuring the stability of the nursing position.

[0033] More specifically, the pillowcase body 9 is made of high-elasticity knitted cotton, which forms a highly elastic mesh structure through a unique knitting process. Its fibers themselves have good resilience. When the pillowcase wraps the pillow core, the material will undergo elastic deformation due to mechanical tension, extending evenly in multiple directions and closely conforming to the contour of the pillow core.

[0034] As can be seen from the above, the specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

[0035] The overall working principle of this pediatric nursing pillow begins with its basic function: the memory foam pillow core 1 provides basic support through its head-accommodating area, the rubber anti-slip dot matrix 15 on its bottom prevents slipping, and the ventilation holes 14 on the surface continuously dissipate heat. When the auxiliary support function needs to be activated, the caregiver screws the end of the connecting hose 6 onto the internally threaded connecting sleeve 5 of the auxiliary support airbag 4 to ensure an air circuit seal. Then, the inflation and shaping stage begins. The caregiver repeatedly squeezes the inflation ball 8, and air flows unidirectionally into the connecting hose 6 under the control of the one-way valve 7, and is injected... The entire sealed system, consisting of the auxiliary support airbag 4 and the two mounting airbags 3, is inflated by gas. The convex outer wall of the mounting airbag 3 and the concave inner wall of the mounting groove 2 on the pillow core 1 create a strong frictional force due to the interference fit, thus firmly locking the airbag into the pillow core 1 to form an immovable base. Simultaneously, the U-shaped auxiliary support airbag 4 inflates, forming a flexible support ring that is lower in the front and higher in the back, encircling the head. Caregivers can control the inflation in real time by touch. The air volume is precisely adjusted to control the height and firmness of the support, perfectly adapting to the child's head and neck curve and clinical support needs. After inflation and adjustment, the inflatable ball 8 can be easily tucked back into the storage layer 13 behind the pillowcase. When the child needs to lie flat, the caregiver removes the inflatable component from the storage layer 13 again, then rotates the connecting hose 6 counterclockwise to slowly unscrew the internal threaded connecting sleeve 5 from the interface of the auxiliary support airbag 4. At the moment of loosening the connection, the seal of the entire airbag system is broken, and internal air immediately escapes from the internal threaded connecting sleeve 5. As the air is smoothly discharged from the interface, the auxiliary support airbag 4 and the installation airbag 3 will shrink and soften accordingly. After the air is completely discharged, the two soft installation airbags 3 can be easily removed from the installation slot 2. When the care is finished or cleaning is required, the caregiver can use their hands to pry open the edge of the pillowcase body 9, so that the first flexible magnetic strip 11 sewn on the bottom surface of the relief slot 10 is separated from the second flexible magnetic strip 12 sewn on the pillow core 1. Then, the caregiver can gently lift the child's head and quickly remove the entire high-elastic knitted cotton pillowcase body 9 for cleaning and disinfection.

[0036] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
