Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of physiotherapy devices, and in particular to the technical field of a craniosacral therapy sleep aid device. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese patent document CN 219398620U discloses a head-aid sleep therapy device. When the device is working, it uses multiple motors to drive the movement of the sleep therapy blocks to achieve automatic massage and provide sleep therapy to the patient. However, the device cannot provide targeted massage based on the patient's body size, resulting in insufficient massage intensity for obese patients and excessive massage intensity for thin patients, causing discomfort and affecting the therapeutic effect.

[0003] Application No. 202411371184.2 discloses a craniosacral therapy sleep aid device, which includes a fixed frame, a swing plate, and an acupressure component. The fixed frame has an adjustment plate at its inner bottom. The swing plate includes a posterior head support, a neck support, and a neck support portion. The end of the neck support portion away from the neck support portion is hinged to one end of the fixed frame. A strip-shaped opening is provided in the center of the arc-shaped groove, and arc-shaped sliding grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the strip-shaped opening. The acupressure component includes a wave-shaped elastic sheet, which is disposed in the strip-shaped opening and can slide along the arc-shaped sliding groove. The crest of the elastic sheet extends upward beyond the strip-shaped opening. Transmission plates are provided at both ends of the elastic sheet, and the transmission plates abut against the inner wall of the adjustment plate. Although this invention can adaptively adjust the protrusion of the elastic sheet according to the user's weight, allowing the user to obtain relatively suitable neck stimulation, improving the therapeutic effect, and improving the patient's sleep, it cannot achieve kneading motion, thus the therapeutic effect needs further improvement, and the user comfort is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and to propose a craniosacral therapy sleep aid device that can improve the therapeutic effect and user comfort.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes a craniosacral therapy sleep aid device, comprising a pillow body, a kneading mechanism, a posterior head support plate, a transmission mechanism, and a lifting mechanism.

The medicine storage chamber 123 has a mesh plate 128 at the upper end.

[0025] The working process of this invention: In the operation of this craniosacral therapy sleep aid device, the user's neck is placed on a neck pad 12, and the head is placed on a posterior head support plate 3. The junction of the head and neck is placed on a kneading mechanism 2, and the neck is in a naturally relaxed state. The weight of the head presses down on the posterior head support plate 3, which compresses the tower-shaped spring 8 and drives the sliding shaft 42 to move downward. The sliding shaft 42 drives the long connecting arm 56 to rotate downward through a connecting rod 43. The long connecting arm 56 drives the short connecting arm 55 to rotate through a rotating shaft 57. The short connecting arm 55 pushes the mounting base 59 upward through a support wheel 54. The mounting base 59 drives the kneading mechanism 2 upward. The movement causes the kneading head 27 to apply further pressure. When the kneading head 27 applies too much pressure and causes discomfort, the adjusting nut 96 is turned to drive the adjusting rod 95 to move backward. The adjusting rod 95, through the cooperation of the upper wedge 93 and the lower wedge 94, drives the limiting rod 92 to move upward. The limiting rod 92, through the sliding shaft 42, pushes the back support plate 3 to move upward. The sliding shaft 42, through the lifting mechanism 5, drives the kneading mechanism 2 to descend for adjustment until a comfortable pressure is reached. Then, the drive motor 21 drives the fixed sleeve 28 to move through the eccentric bearing 22. The fixed sleeve 28, through the arc-shaped seat 26, drives the kneading head 27 to perform kneading operation.

[0026] When the neck is compressed, the pressure relief layer 124 disperses the vertical pressure horizontally in all directions, creating a zero-pressure suspension sensation and avoiding compression of the vertebral artery.

[0027] Made from a cotton-linen blend, this product is breathable, sweat-absorbent, and skin-friendly, enhancing comfort. The breathable pores, with a diameter of 0.5-1mm, are evenly distributed on the surface of the breathable protective layer, accelerating air circulation and preventing stuffiness. The antibacterial fibers are made from silver ion antibacterial fibers, which have excellent antibacterial and antimicrobial effects, effectively inhibiting bacterial growth, removing odors, and ensuring hygiene.

[0028] The medicine packet 125 is filled with 20 grams of Angelica sinensis, 10 grams of Ligusticum chuanxiong, 30 grams of Lycopodium clavatum, 10 grams of Carthamus tinctorius, 20 grams of Artemisia argyi, 15 grams of Saposhnikovia divaricata, 15 grams of Notopterygium incisum, and 15 grams of Ligusticum chuanxiong. The heat from the heated salt packet 126 is used to accelerate the volatilization and transdermal absorption of the medicine.

[0029] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
