Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ophthalmology, and in particular to a modified split-type sleeping pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Patients with fundus diseases need to maintain a prone position for a long time for treatment. For the patient's comfort, a prone pillow needs to be placed between the patient's face and the bed or table to provide cushioning and support.

[0003] Authorization announcement number CN222487916U discloses a multifunctional prone pillow for post-ophthalmic surgery, including a headrest (1) and a breathing hole (2). The headrest (1) has a breathing hole (2) inside, and a sensing area (4) is provided on the surface of the headrest (1) on both sides of the breathing hole (2). A pressure sensor (7) is provided inside the headrest (1) at the bottom of the sensing area (4), and a broadcasting component (6) is provided on one side of the bottom of the headrest (1). This type of prone pillow is suitable for prone position in bed. Because it is not detachable and has a large volume, it is difficult to directly apply it to a prone table. The head height is also relatively fixed, and it is impossible to adjust the height difference between the head and body according to the specific situation of the patient. This is difficult to apply when patients with macular holes need to be in a head-down position. In addition, the existing prone pillow structure lacks dynamic support for the neck, which can easily lead to muscle strain after long-term use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the aforementioned technologies. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a split-type sleeping pillow composed of multiple adjustable sections.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, an embodiment of this utility model proposes an improved split-type face pillow, comprising a head support assembly, a neck support assembly, and a chest support assembly that are detachably connected in sequence. The head support assembly includes a head support frame and a head height adjustment element. The head support frame has a geometrically variable structure, is covered with a flexible material, and is provided with a face support element. The overall height of the head support frame can be changed by adjusting the head height adjustment element. The neck support component is a U-shaped structure with the opening facing upwards. The bottom and sides of the U-shape consist of independent neck airbags and neck padding. The neck airbags are externally connected to inflation and deflation elements. The chest support assembly has an H-shaped structure that is shorter at the top and longer at the bottom. The upper part of the H-shape connects the head support assembly and the neck support assembly. The middle part of the H-shape has a hinge point. The lower part of the H-shape can rotate around the middle hinge point to change the angle between it and the upper part of the H-shape. The side of the H-shaped structure facing the patient has several chest airbags to support the patient's torso.

[0006] According to the improved split-type headrest of this utility model embodiment, the patient's head, neck and chest are supported by different components. The support height conditions and positions of each component are independent of each other, so it can be adjusted to meet the requirements of the patient's head height difference after various ophthalmic surgeries.

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0017] Because the patient's head, neck, and chest are supported by different components, and the support height and position of each component are independent of each other, this invention can be adjusted to meet the height difference requirements of the patient's head after various ophthalmic surgeries.

[0018] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0019] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] Figures 1 to 5 According to an embodiment of the present utility model, an improved split-type sleeping pillow includes a head support assembly 1, a neck support assembly 2, and a chest support assembly 3 that are detachably connected in sequence. The head support assembly 1 includes a head support frame 11 and a head height adjustment element. The head support frame 11 has a geometrically variable structure, is covered with a flexible material, and is provided with a face support element 12. The overall height of the head support frame can be changed by adjusting the head height adjustment element. The face support element 12 is shaped like a face mask, with windows in the patient's eyes, nose and mouth. At the same time, windows or local thinning are also set in the cheek area to minimize and evenly distribute the pressure of the face support element 12 on the facial soft tissue, thereby reducing the discomfort of prolonged use by the patient.

[0021] The head support frame 11 has several ventilation holes, allowing the patient to breathe fresh air even when in a prone position.

[0022] The neck support component 2 is a U-shaped structure with an upward opening. The bottom and sides of the U-shape consist of independent neck airbags 21 and neck linings 22. The neck airbags 21 are externally connected to inflation and deflation elements. When the patient's head is supported, the neck can also be supported. Compared with existing similar devices, this device provides more detailed support for the patient's upper body.

[0023] The chest support component 3 has an H-shaped structure that is shorter at the top and longer at the bottom. The upper part of the H-shape connects the head support component 1 and the neck support component 2. The middle part of the H-shape has a hinge point. The lower part of the H-shape can rotate around the middle hinge point to change the angle between it and the upper part of the H-shape. The side of the H-shaped structure facing the patient has several chest airbags 31 that support the patient's torso. The H-shaped structure can be made of rectangular tubes, which are lightweight and sturdy.

[0024] The head support component 1, neck support component 2, and chest support component 3 are connected by Velcro. Specifically, the Velcro is placed on the contact surface of the two different components that need to be connected. One end of the Velcro is fixed to one of the components, and the other end is left free. When connecting, the length of the Velcro sticking to each other can be adjusted according to specific needs to achieve a tight connection or a gap between the two adjacent components. The purpose of this design is to adapt to the differences in the body shape of different patients so that patients are more comfortable during long-term use.

[0025] The head height adjustment element is a medical silicone airbag. This utility model is a medical auxiliary device. Using components that meet relevant standards can improve compatibility.

[0026] The head height adjustment element consists of a rack and a buckle. The head support frame 11 is divided into upper and lower parts, connected by scissor braces. The rack is fixed at the lower part, and the buckle is set at the upper part. The buckle can move along the rack or be fixed at a fixed position set on the rack. Specifically, the rack has protruding teeth as needed, and the rest is smooth. The buckle has a button. When the button is pressed, the inside of the buckle opens. The opening size is greater than the height of the teeth, so it can move freely on the rack. When the buckle moves to the appropriate position, the button is released and the inside of the buckle closes. The buckle abuts against the teeth under the action of gravity.

[0027] The neck liner 22 is made of memory foam. The skin of the neck is soft, but the distribution of muscles and blood vessels makes the neck very resilient. Therefore, the neck support component 2 of this invention looks like an existing U-shaped pillow, but its structure is quite different: through several independent air bladders, the U-shaped shape can be adjusted to provide effective support for the neck. This is the "hard" part, which is adapted to the resilience of the human neck. The neck liner 22, made of memory foam, can also fit the surface skin of the neck well. Therefore, the neck air bladder 21 combined with the neck liner 22 can effectively support and fix the patient's neck.

[0028] The H-shaped structure has a locking nut at the central hinge point. Adjusting the locking nut allows the H-shaped structure to switch between a variable and a fixed state. Specifically, the H-shaped structure has a rotating joint. Tightening the locking nut increases the friction force inside the joint, ultimately achieving fixation. Loosening the locking nut reduces the friction force, allowing it to swing freely.

[0029] The head support component 1, neck support component 2, and chest support component 3 are all equipped with a detachable outer packaging consisting of an outer layer of antibacterial and water-repellent fabric, a middle layer of waterproof TPU film, and an inner layer of skin-friendly and breathable cotton fabric, making it convenient for washing and changing.

[0030] The chest support component 3 is detachably equipped with arm support elements 32. Specifically, the arm support elements 32 can be two soft short pillars, respectively located on the sides of the H-shaped structure away from the patient. When the patient uses the table, they can hug the H-shape with their hands and rest them naturally on the short pillars. This posture, compared to resting both arms on the table, can adjust the use of shoulder muscles and provide the patient with more posture options. Alternatively, two hanging rings can be set up with a long board between them to facilitate the patient's forearm support.
