Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smart home and healthy bedding, and particularly relates to a smart headrest combined with a mattress and capable of intelligently adapting to different sleeping postures and providing precise dynamic support for the head and neck. BACKGROUND

[0002] The quality of human sleep is closely related to the natural physiological curvature of the spine, especially the cervical vertebrae, during sleep. Traditional headrests are internally filled with sponge, memory foam or granular materials, which can provide basic static support, but have significant defects. The support height and shape are fixed, and cannot adapt to the dynamic changes in the user's posture from lying to lying on one side during sleep. When a person lies flat, the head and neck require a lower support height to maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical lordosis. When lying on one side, the head and neck require a significantly higher support height to keep the cervical vertebrae in the same straight line as the thoracic vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, so as to avoid lateral bending of the cervical vertebrae. The traditional headrest cannot meet this dynamic change requirement, resulting in pressure on the cervical vertebrae when lying on one side, muscle tension, affecting blood circulation, and causing problems such as insomnia, stiff neck, and neck and shoulder pain, which seriously damages the quality of sleep and the health of the cervical vertebrae.

[0003] In addition, the traditional mattress is of an integrated design, and the support of the head and waist areas cannot be adjusted. If the thickness of the mattress in the head area can be reduced, not only can costs be saved, but also valuable installation space can be provided for the intelligent lifting mechanism of the headrest. Extending the intelligent lifting concept to the waist support can also greatly improve the comfort of lying down.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a new type of intelligent bedding that can intelligently sense changes in sleeping posture and automatically and accurately adjust the support height of the head and neck, and even the waist. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a smart headrest combined with a mattress, which can sense the user's sleeping posture in real time and automatically adjust the height of the headrest and neck pillow, so as to provide the head and neck with the most ergonomic support in any posture, and the intelligent adjustment function can be extended to the waist support.

[0006] The technical scheme of the present application is implemented as follows: a smart headrest combined with a mattress, comprising a headrest body, a mattress arranged below the headrest body, a supporting plate arranged at the bottom of the mattress, a headrest bottom plate arranged at the lower side of the headrest body, a telescopic lifting device arranged between the headrest bottom plate and the headrest body to drive the headrest body to lift, the telescopic lifting device being controlled by a smart control machine, the smart control machine being connected with a pressure sensor through an electric circuit, and the pressure sensor being arranged on the supporting surface of the headrest body. Preferably, the telescopic lifting device comprises at least one telescopic driver, which is in mechanical and electrical connection with the intelligent control machine, and the output end of the telescopic driver is connected with a telescopic rod, the top end of the telescopic rod is connected with the lower side of the head bracket, and the upper side of the head bracket is provided with an elastic supporting pad for abutting against the head, and the pressure sensor is embedded in or attached to the upper surface of the elastic supporting pad. Preferably, the headrest body further comprises a neck supporting pillow independent of the head bracket, the neck supporting pillow comprises a neck bracket and a neck supporting pad arranged on the neck bracket, and the headrest bottom plate is provided with a neck telescopic driver for driving the neck supporting pillow to lift, and the neck telescopic driver is connected with the neck bracket through a neck telescopic rod; and the intelligent control machine is further connected with a neck pressure sensor arranged on the neck supporting pad. Preferably, the head bracket and the neck bracket are relatively independent in structure and are flexibly connected through an elastic soft belt. Preferably, a headrest groove is formed in the mattress, the headrest bottom plate is arranged in the headrest groove and connected with the supporting plate below, and the headrest bottom plate and the supporting plate are provided with through holes for the telescopic rod to pass through. Preferably, the waist region of the mattress is provided with an independently liftable waist supporting module, the waist supporting module comprises a waist bracket and a waist supporting pad arranged on the waist bracket, the supporting plate is provided with a waist telescopic driver, the waist telescopic driver drives the waist supporting module to lift through a waist telescopic rod, and the intelligent control machine is further connected with a waist pressure sensor arranged on the supporting surface of the waist supporting module. Preferably, the outer surface of the elastic supporting pad is covered with a detachable headrest cover, and the headrest cover is connected with the edge of the mattress through a hanging piece.

[0007] The present application has the following advantages: 1. Dynamic self-adaptive support, maintaining spine health: the present application can monitor the pressure distribution in real time through the pressure sensor, intelligently identify different sleeping postures such as lying flat and lying on one side, automatically adjust the support height of the headrest and the neck pillow when the system detects that the user turns to lie on one side, effectively fill the support space between the head and the bed surface, keep the cervical spine and thoracolumbar spine in a natural curve, greatly reduce the load of the cervical spine and the surrounding muscles, create the best conditions for deep sleep, and long-term use is helpful for preventing and relieving cervical problems.

[0008] 2. Head and neck partition support, more accurate reliance: Reliance on the head: the head bracket and the elastic supporting pad thereon mainly support the back of the head, and their role is not only to support the weight of the head, but more importantly, through appropriate support force, the head and the trunk are kept horizontal, avoiding excessive compression of the mandible on the chest or backward inclination, and ensuring the airway unobstructed.

[0009] Supporting function to neck: independent neck supporting pillow is the key innovation, its position and height can be independently adjusted, which can accurately support the physiological lordotic curvature of cervical vertebra. When lying flat, it provides soft support to maintain the curvature; when lying on the side, it is raised to fill the space from the shoulder to the neck area below the ear, providing lateral support for the cervical vertebra to prevent it from bending sideways due to lack of support, achieving complete relaxation of the neck muscles, and the head and neck partition design avoids the disadvantages of traditional headrests that only support the head and not the neck or press the cervical vertebra.

[0010] 3. Ingenious structure and high functional integration: by setting the headrest groove, the complex lifting mechanism is integrated into the mattress base structure, which is simple in appearance, powerful in function and reduces the cost of mattress materials.

[0011] 4. Functionally expandable: applying the intelligent lifting scheme to the waist support, it realizes the ergonomic adaptive adjustment of head, neck and waist in all directions, and comprehensively improves the comfort of sleep and rest. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0016] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The intelligent headrest combined with the mattress comprises a headrest body 1, a mattress 2 arranged below the headrest body 1, a supporting plate 3 arranged at the bottom of the mattress 2, a headrest bottom plate 5 arranged at the lower side of the headrest body 1, a telescopic lifting device arranged between the headrest body 1 and the headrest bottom plate 5 for driving the headrest body 1 to lift, the telescopic lifting device being controlled by an intelligent control machine 6, the intelligent control machine 6 being connected with a pressure sensor 8 through an electric circuit, the pressure sensor 8 being arranged on the supporting surface of the headrest body 1. The telescopic lifting device comprises at least one telescopic driver 9, the telescopic driver 9 being electrically connected with the intelligent control machine 6, the output end of the telescopic driver 9 being connected with a telescopic rod 10, the top end of the telescopic rod 10 being connected with the lower side of a head supporting bracket 11, the upper side of the head supporting bracket 11 being provided with an elastic supporting pad 12 for fitting the head, the pressure sensor 8 being embedded in or attached to the upper surface of the elastic supporting pad 12. The headrest body 1 further comprises a neck supporting pillow 1-2 which is independent of the head supporting bracket 11, the neck supporting pillow 1-2 comprising a neck supporting bracket 11-2 and a neck supporting pad 12-2 arranged thereon, the headrest bottom plate 5 being provided with a neck telescopic driver 9-2 which is specially arranged for driving the neck supporting pillow 1-2 to lift, the neck telescopic driver 9-2 being connected with the neck supporting bracket 11-2 through a neck telescopic rod 10-2; the intelligent control machine 6 is further connected with a neck pressure sensor 8-2 which is arranged on the neck supporting pad 12-2. The head supporting bracket 11 and the neck supporting bracket 11-2 are relatively independent in structure, and are flexibly connected through an elastic soft belt 13.

[0017] A headrest groove 17 is formed in the mattress 2, the headrest bottom plate 5 is arranged in the headrest groove 17 and connected with the supporting plate 3 below, and the headrest bottom plate 5 and the supporting plate 3 are provided with through holes 7, 7-1 for the telescopic rod 10 to pass through.

[0018] The waist region of the mattress 2 is provided with a waist supporting module 2-1 which can be independently lifted, the waist supporting module 2-1 comprising a waist supporting bracket 11-1 and a waist supporting pad 12-1 arranged thereon, the supporting plate 3 being provided with a waist telescopic driver 9-1, the waist telescopic driver 9-1 driving the waist supporting module 2-1 to lift through a waist telescopic rod 10-1, and the intelligent control machine 6 being further connected with a waist pressure sensor 8-1 which is arranged on the supporting surface of the waist supporting module 2-1.

[0019] The outer surface of the elastic support pad 12 is covered with a detachable headrest cover 15, which is connected to the edge of the mattress 2 by a hanging piece 16.

[0020] Specifically: after the intelligent control machine 6 is powered on, the pressure sensor 8 receives the pressure signal given by the user and transmits it to the intelligent control machine 6, and after the intelligent control machine 6 processes the signal, the telescopic drive 9 is controlled to work, the telescopic drive 9 is connected with the telescopic rod 10 through the cooperation of the rotor and the gear, and then drives the telescopic rod 10 to rise or fall, and the multiple telescopic rods 10 drive the head bracket 11 and the head elastic support pad 12 to rise or fall, so that the user can achieve the comfortable support effect of the headrest body 1, when the human body is lying flat or lying on one side, the support height of the headrest body 1 needs to change at any time, the intelligent control machine 6 can adjust the support height of the headrest body 1 in time and accurately according to the signal transmitted by the pressure sensor 8. Because the telescopic lifting device and the headrest bottom plate 5 arranged below the headrest body 1 need to have a certain setting height, if the setting height is too high, it will affect the requirement of the headrest body 1 when the human body is lying flat, by arranging the headrest groove 17 on the mattress 2, the headrest bottom plate 5 can be moved to the upper side of the bottom pad bottom support plate 3, the telescopic rod 10 can pass through the connecting hole 7 and the connecting hole A 7-1 respectively, and the precise structure of the telescopic lifting device is completed, so that the headrest body 1 can achieve the good effect of intelligently lifting and supporting the head and the neck. The waist telescopic drive 9-1 is arranged between the mattress bottom support plate 3 and the waist mattress below the waist of the human body, and after the multiple waist telescopic drives 9-1, the waist telescopic rods 10-1 and the waist bracket 11-1 are combined and connected, the human body waist can be supported with comfortable good effect through the intelligent control of the waist pressure sensor 8-1 and the intelligent control machine 6.

[0021] The core lifting and sensing mechanism of the application is: The headrest bottom plate 5 is provided with a head telescopic drive 9 and a neck telescopic drive 9-2 (such as a micro electric push rod or a linear motor) as a power source. The head telescopic rod 10 of the head telescopic drive 9 passes through the through holes (7, 7-1) on the bottom plate 5 and the bottom support plate 3 in sequence and is connected with the head bracket 11. The neck telescopic rod 10-2 of the neck telescopic drive 9-2 is connected with the neck bracket 11-2. The head bracket 11 is covered with a head elastic support pad 12, and the neck bracket 11-2 is covered with a neck support pad 12-2. The head pressure sensor 8 and the neck pressure sensor 8-2 are embedded or attached on the upper surfaces of the two support pads, respectively. The head bracket 11 and the neck bracket 11-2 are flexibly connected by a flexible elastic band 13, which ensures coordinated action and natural curve fitting. The whole support surface is finally covered with a detachable headrest cover 15, and is fixed to the mattress 2 by a hanging piece 16. All the drives and sensors are connected to the intelligent control machine 6.

[0022] The support part of the headrest body is configured as a relatively independent head support area and a neck support area, is driven by independent head and neck telescopic drives respectively, and is respectively provided with independent pressure sensors, so that the head and neck are accurately adjusted in zones; The head bracket 11 and the neck bracket 11-2 are relatively independent in structure and are flexibly connected through the elastic soft belt 13, the head bracket and the neck bracket are connected through the elastic soft belt, the coordination of the two parts during lifting is ensured, independent movement is allowed, and the head and neck curve is better fitted; A headrest slot accommodating the headrest bottom plate is formed in the mattress, so that the lifting structure can be installed in a sinking manner, sufficient lifting stroke is ensured, and the flatness of the surface of the mattress is maintained.

[0023] The working process of the head and neck relying on the action is as follows: 1. Initial state and perception: after the user lies down, the back of the head is mainly pressed on the head elastic supporting pad 12, and the back and sides of the neck are supported by the neck supporting pad 12-2. The head pressure sensor 8 and the neck pressure sensor 8-2 will immediately detect the pressure signal and transmit the data to the intelligent control machine 6 in real time.

[0024] 2. Posture recognition and intelligent decision: Flat lying posture: when the user lies flat, the pressure is relatively uniformly distributed in the central and neck areas of the headrest. The intelligent control machine 6 recognizes this mode, controls the head telescopic drive 9 and the neck telescopic drive 9-2, and adjusts the head bracket 11 and the neck bracket 11-2 to a relatively low basic height. The target of this height is to make the head and the body horizontal, the neck supporting pad 12-2 just fills the natural suspended area below the cervical spine, and gently supports and maintains the physiological lordosis of the cervical spine. At this time, the support for the head is stable bearing, and the support for the neck is to maintain the curvature.

[0025] Side lying posture: when the user turns over to lie on his side, the pressure distribution of the head and neck will change significantly, and the pressure center will deviate to one side. The sensor 8, 8-2 detects the asymmetric pressure distribution and possible pressure value change, and the algorithm of the intelligent control machine 6 judges that the user has turned to lie on his side.

[0026] 3. Dynamic adjustment and accurate support: once the side lying posture is recognized, the intelligent control machine 6 immediately issues an instruction, the head telescopic drive 9 and the neck telescopic drive 9-2 are synchronized or act according to the preset program, and the head bracket 11 and the neck bracket 11-2 are driven to be lifted upward.

[0027] Lifting the head support: lifting increases the support height of the head, effectively compensates for the gap between the head and the bed surface caused by the shoulder height when lying on the side, and prevents the head from bending too much laterally.

[0028] Lifting the support of the neck: the independent lifting of the neck pillow 1-2 is particularly important. Its height is high enough to support the entire neck area from the shoulder to the lower ear, providing a solid lateral support for the cervical spine that is easy to lose support when lying on the side. This ensures that the cervical spine remains in a straight line with the thoracic and lumbar spine throughout the sleep process, avoiding continuous muscle tension to hold the head, achieving true relaxation and rest. The elastic soft belt 13 allows the neck pillow to naturally transition with the headrest when lifted, perfectly fitting the head and neck contour when lying on the side.

[0029] Waist support extension: As shown in Figure 3 , the scheme can be extended to the waist. The waist telescopic drive 9-1 is installed on the support plate 3, which drives the waist support module 2-1 (including the waist bracket 11-1 and the waist support pad 12-1) to rise and fall through the waist telescopic rod 10-1. The waist pressure sensor 8-1 set on the support surface transmits signals to the intelligent control machine 6, so as to automatically adjust the waist support height according to the posture (such as more support is needed for the waist to fit the lumbar curvature when lying flat).

[0030] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
