Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of health, medical treatment and rehabilitation, and in particular to a pillow. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mechanical vibration is used as a carrier to stimulate the somatosensory function of the human body, and has been widely used in the field of, for example, relaxation massage. Studies have shown that different types of tissue and cell structures can resonate through vibration stimulation of different frequencies, thereby transmitting vibration information with specific characteristics, such as vibrations with characteristic frequencies, amplitude dynamic changes, and sub-frequency mixing characteristics, to intervene in the physiological activities of the resonant tissue.

[0003] However, current massage devices based on physical vibration usually use a single mode of vibration, such as continuous vibration at a single frequency or alternating vibration at multiple frequencies, to produce a massage relaxation effect by vibrating the skin and muscles. In addition, somatosensory music technology developed in recent years uses "bone conduction" sound wave vibration stimulation to convert low-frequency signals of 16-150 Hz in music into vibrations through physical transduction, achieving physiological regulation through vibration. However, single-frequency stimulation and low-frequency vibration stimulation modes focus on strengthening low-frequency sound waves to achieve vibration stimulation, ignoring the ability of high-frequency vibration signals to carry information and the physiological and psychological regulation functions of high-frequency stimulation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a pillow that combines sound information and physical vibration to achieve physiological- psychological dual-mode regulation.

[0011] As preferred, the master control device further comprises a media module connected between the control module and the vibrator, and the media module comprises but is not limited to a waveform and its related sound signal file for driving the vibrator.

[0012] As preferred, the signal output module is connected with the media module to update or store the waveform and its related sound signal file in the media module.

[0013] As preferred, the control module further comprises a driving module connected between the control module and the vibrator, and the control module controls the driving module to regulate the switch of the vibrator and the power size of the output sound vibration stimulation.

[0014] As preferred, the effective frequency width of the vibrator is 0-20 kHz, and the power is 0-50 w.

The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in this description, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the pillow corresponding to a preferred embodiment of the present application comprises a base 1, one or more sound vibration stimulation devices 2 vibration plates 22 mounted on the base 1, and a main control device 3 connected to the sound vibration stimulation device 2. Among them, the sound vibration stimulation device 2 comprises one or more vibrators 21 and one or more vibration plates 22 connected to the side of the vibrator 21, and the main control device 3 provides a sound signal for driving the sound vibration stimulation device and controls the vibrator 21 to output corresponding sound vibration stimulation, which is transmitted to the head through the vibration plate.

[0027] The vibration plate 22 is controlled by the main control device 3. Specifically, the base 1 is made of hard material and has good support. The base 1 comprises a mounting portion 11, a support portion 12 arranged parallel to the mounting portion 11, and a bending portion 13 connected between the mounting portion 11 and the support portion 12, and the mounting portion 11, the support portion 12 and the bending portion 13 form a hollow structure. A plurality of mounting holes are formed in the mounting portion 11, and the vibrators 21 of the sound vibration stimulation device 2 are embedded in the mounting holes, and the vibrators 21 and their vibrating end portions are exposed outside the mounting holes, which facilitates the connection of the vibration plates 22. The vibration plate 22 is preferably connected to the side of the vibrator 21 by screw connection, which can effectively increase the effective vibration area. Each vibration plate 22 can be connected to multiple vibrators 21 at the same time, which can increase the effective vibration area and improve the comfort of the pillow during use. Preferably, the surface of the vibration plate 22 is provided with a convex pattern, which achieves better contact between the head and the vibration plate 22. The convex pattern can better contact the scalp through the hair, reducing the attenuation of vibration caused by the hair. The size, surface shape, surface texture and arrangement of the vibration plate 22 can be selected and adjusted according to the brain area to be stimulated. For example, the surface shape of the vibration plate 22 includes but is not limited to rectangular (such as Figure 1 As shown), hexagonal, circular and the like; the arrangement of the vibration plate 22 includes but is not limited to parallel arrangement (such as Figure 1 As shown), honeycomb arrangement and the like.

[0028] Preferably, the effective frequency width of the vibrator is 0-20kHz, and the power is 0-50w, which can support the output of a vibration signal with wide frequency band and high energy. On the one hand, the vibration signal is transmitted to the human ear through the air to form psychological regulation of emotions, cognition and other functions with sound as the medium; on the other hand, it acts on the human body, making the human body feel obvious vibration and forming physiological regulation with physical vibration kinetic energy as the carrier. The vibrator 21 can act on the head (nervous system) to regulate the brain function loop, or can act on the head and neck tissues; the number of vibrators 21 can be set according to the number of nodes required to regulate the function loop.

The signal input module 32 includes but is not limited to Bluetooth communication signal input, WiFi communication signal input, and other wireless communication signal input. The control module 31 controls the conversion module 33 to perform conversion processing on the sound signal, including but not limited to signal denoising, power amplification, digital-to-analog conversion, etc., to generate a mechanical vibration signal that can drive the vibrator 21 to work. The signal output module 34 transmits the processed sound signal to the vibrator 21.

[0030] In another way of providing the sound signal, the master control device 3 provides a self-contained sound signal, and the master control device further comprises a media module 37 connected between the control module 31 and the vibrator 21.

Further, the signal output module is connected to the media module 37 to update or store the waveforms and related sound signal files in the media module 37.

[0031] The control module 31 further comprises a drive module 35 connected between the control module 31 and the vibrator 21, and the control module 31 controls the drive module 35 to regulate the switching and power size of the output sound vibration stimulation of the vibrator 21, so as to facilitate the user to manually regulate the sound and vibration stimulation according to the actual situation. The control module 31 further comprises a power module 36 for powering the pillow, and the power module 36 includes but is not limited to a battery, a solar cell, a lithium sub-battery, and other power supply forms.

[0032] When the user's head is resting on the vibration plate 22, the sound signal is input through wireless communication, the master control device 3 receives the sound signal, processes the signal, and sends the processed signal to the sound vibration stimulation device 2, and the vibrator 21 outputs the corresponding sound vibration stimulation of the master control device 3, drives the vibration plate 22 to vibrate and transmits to the user's head, or directly selects the waveforms and related sound signal files in the media module 37 to send to the sound vibration stimulation device 2, and the vibrator 21 outputs the corresponding sound vibration stimulation of the master control device 3, drives the vibration plate 22 to vibrate and transmits to the user's head. Through sound and vibration, auxiliary sleep and massage relaxation training are performed at the same time, which helps to relieve insomnia.
