DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-9As shown, a breathing adjustable pillow structure includes a bottom support seat 1, and an elastic breathing support layer that can swing up and down around the bottom support seat 1 and for the human body to lean on is connected to the rear part of the upper surface of the bottom support seat 1. The bottom support seat 1 can be integrally formed with materials such as plastic and carbon fiber and needs to be made into a hard structure, and can preferably be a flat plate-shaped structure. The rear side portion of the bottom support seat 1 and the rear side portion of the elastic breathing support layer are connected by a pivoting method, that is, hinged connection, such as being connected by a hinge, but the bottom support seat 1 and the elastic breathing support layer are independent individuals that are separately formed, that is, the elastic breathing support layer swings up and down around the bottom support seat 1. In this way, the elastic breathing support layer has the ability to swing up and down, so that height adjustment can be achieved and follow the breathing rhythm. Further, a flexible support pad 3 is laid on the upper side of the elastic breathing support layer, and the elastic breathing support layer has a neck suspension support plate 21 for the human neck to lean on and be in a suspended support state, and the neck suspension support plate 21 can be squeezed up and down to produce elastic deformation. The neck suspension support plate 21 can form an adaptable adjustable deformation according to the squeezing force of different people, different postures, pressure changes caused by the breathing process, etc., so as to adjust the pillow height of the action part in real time.

[0022] Preferably, the neck suspension support plate 21 is in a backward C-shape and forms an upper neck leaning portion 211 that is arched upward, an intermediate support portion 212 that is arched forward, and a bottom support portion 213 that is arched downward. The neck suspension support plate 21 is in a C-shape that is open backward as a whole. Such a plate will have better deformation and recovery capabilities if it is made of metal or plastic plate. Furthermore, the neck leaning portion 211, the intermediate support portion 212 and the bottom support portion 213 are integrally connected in sequence from top to bottom, that is, they are integrally formed using the same material. The intermediate support portion 212 is located in front of the neck leaning portion 211 and the bottom support portion 213. The bottommost portion of the lower side surface of the bottom support part 213 is connected to the bottom support seat 1. If the bottommost portion of the lower side surface of the bottom support part 213 is only in contact with the bottom support seat 1, the connection strength will still be lacking. Therefore, the two can be further bonded by environmentally friendly glue, or fixed by a bolt-type fixing structure that passes through the upper and lower parts, or further fixed by sewing with thread through the upper and lower holes, mainly for the stability of the position.

[0023] Furthermore, the elastic breathing support layer includes a plurality of elastic breathing support bridges 2 spaced apart from each other, the elastic breathing support bridge 2 includes the neck suspension support plate 21 and a head support plate 22 for a person's head to lean on, which is connected to the rear end of the neck leaning portion 211. The rear end of the head support plate 22 extends downward to form a rear support connection portion 220 for connecting to the bottom support seat 1. The design adopted in the embodiment here is that the elastic breathing support bridge 2 adopts a plurality of discrete structures on the left and right, similar to the keys of a piano, with a plurality of dense but separately separated elastic parts, so that the control of the area is more refined, and feedback is generated according to the area of ​​action, which is more targeted and will not affect the whole. The rear support connection part 220 can be connected to the left and right sides as a whole. The rear support connection part 220 needs to be stronger, and there is not much deformation required here, so there is no need for discrete structural design. The rear support connection part 220 can be a whole piece of arc-shaped plate that arches backward in an arc shape. The lower part of the rear support connection part 220 can be hingedly connected to the rear part of the bottom support seat 1. Further optimization, the rear support connection part 220 can be divided into two parts, the front end of the upper part is connected to the rear end of each head support plate 22, and the lower part is hingedly connected to the bottom support seat 1. The upper and lower parts of the rear support connection part 220 are also preferably hingedly connected to improve the swing linkage of the rear side. Of course, if the rear support connection part 220 has good material deformation ability, it is also possible to not have so many hinged parts, mainly to adapt to the up and down swing caused by the elastic deformation of the front elastic breathing support bridge 2.

[0024] Preferably, an upright height-adjustable support airbag 4 is connected between the elastic breathing support layer and the bottom support seat 1, the neck suspension support plate 21 is located in front of the support airbag 4, and the top of the support airbag 4 is connected to the lower side of the front end of the head support plate 22. The design here is mainly to have an auxiliary support in the middle, and to coordinate with the adaptability deformation of the front side. The support airbag 4 can also be automatically controlled by an air pump. There are also multiple support airbags 4 and they are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions. The support airbag 4 can be an upright airbag such as an air spring airbag. The support airbag 4 is more stably fixedly connected to the head support plate 22 and the bottom support seat 1 by existing bonding methods or thread sewing methods.

[0025] Furthermore, the neck suspension support plate 21 is a metal plate or a plastic plate, which has good deformation ability and good support in the C-shaped structure.

[0026] Furthermore, the upper surface of the neck resting part 211 is connected with a plurality of magnetic strips 5 arranged at intervals in front and back and extending left and right. The magnetic strips 5 not only act as magnets to provide magnetic health care for the human body, but also act as a connecting rib to enhance the connection strength between the left and right sides. At the same time, the magnetic strips 5 are flexible magnetic strips, generally with a surface magnetic field strength of less than 1000 Gauss, so they have good flexibility and can adapt to the deformation of the pillow. Of course, the pillow of this embodiment will not have a large deformation, and generally the deformation of the upper and lower height of less than 5 cm is appropriate, mainly to achieve the best effect for the short-term changes in breathing rhythm. The magnetic strips 5 are fixed to the upper surface of the neck resting part 211 in an existing manner, and are installed and connected by suturing, gluing, or bolts and nuts penetrating and locking up and down.

[0027] Furthermore, the magnetic strip 5 and the neck suspension support plate 21 are staggered to form a rectangular array of gap spaces 50, and the lower side of the flexible support pad 3 is formed with a lower plug-in protrusion 30 inserted downward into the gap space 50. Through this design, the flexible support pad 3 has better position stability when in use, will not slip, and has improved strength, which can be more suitable for use in extrusion deformation. Correspondingly, the magnetic strip 5 and the neck suspension support plate 21 will have a good buffering effect after the flexible support pad 3 is filled during the deformation process. Generally, the flexible massage pad 3 is preferably made of silicone, latex or sponge material. The use effect of silicone will be better, and its deformation followability will be better. Try to ensure that it is not in use. After the lower plug-in protrusion 30 is inserted downward into the gap space 50, there is still a part that extends downward beyond the gap space 50, which will be more stable. Of course, the size of the lower plug-in protrusion 30 should be as large as possible to fill the space of the gap space 50. Furthermore, the lower plug-in protrusion 30 is integrally connected to the outer circumference of the side surface near the bottom with an arc-shaped protrusion 301. Of course, this arc-shaped protrusion 301 is also deformable, so that it can be inserted during assembly or removed later. At the same time, when in use, the lower side has a certain limiting ability, and the flexible support pad 3 is not easy to move upward. In addition, the lower plug-in protrusion 30 is made of silicone material, which is more suitable for installing flexible sensors. Silicone is more similar to human muscle skin, and silicone has good follow-up performance during the pillow deformation process and heat dissipation during use.

[0028] Preferably, magnetic particles 6 are also arranged on the neck resting part 211 to further enhance the effect of magnetic health care. Here, the magnetic particles 6 can adopt a high-intensity magnetic field of more than 5000 Gauss. Moreover, if they are on the neck resting part 211, they can always generate a high-intensity magnetic field at a stable distance to the human body.

[0029] Furthermore, a reinforced groove 210 for inserting magnetic particles 6 is formed on the neck supporting portion 211, and the neck suspension support plate 21 is a magnetic isolation plate. This structure is not only strong enough to effectively support and deform, but the magnetic isolation plate can also gather the magnetic field upward in the groove to act on the human body more effectively. The ability of the magnetic lines of force to gather and act on the human body upward is significantly improved. Furthermore, a flexible pressure sensor 2100 is connected to the area surrounded by the neck suspension support plate 21. The flexible pressure sensor 2100 can be set on the lower plug-in protrusion 30. The lower plug-in protrusion 30 is made of a silicone block. As mentioned above, there is a part that extends downward beyond the gap space 50, which can be called the lower guide part 300. The outer periphery of the side of the lower guide part 300 is integrally connected with a circular arc protrusion 301 or other parts that can increase the size and expand outward to limit the other side of the neck leaning part 211. The lower guide part 300 is provided with a guide assembly groove 3001 for the flexible pressure sensor 2100 to pass through and is connected to the lower side surface of the neck leaning part 211. The part of the flexible pressure sensor 2100 that passes through the guide assembly groove 3001 can be further installed and connected to the lower side surface of the neck leaning part 211 by bonding or other existing methods. A micro gyroscope chip can also be embedded in the lower guide part 300 to detect the position change caused by deformation, so that, for example, the support airbag 4 can be controlled to fine-tune the pillow height. In this structure, the heat dissipation effect of each sensor is better than that of the existing pillow. The sensor is used in the pillow structure of this embodiment, which has better air circulation and heat dissipation. The neck suspension support plate 21 itself has fast thermal conductivity, and the lower plug-in bump of the silicone material also has good heat dissipation. Good air flow can dissipate heat better, and good heat dissipation can improve the safety and reliability of use and the accuracy of detection.

[0030] Furthermore, a positioning slot 333 is formed on the lower surface of the flexible support pad 3 for the upper part of the magnetic particles 6 to be inserted upward. Here, the upper part of the magnetic particles preferably exposes a part of the reinforcement groove 210, and this part is positioned and inserted into the positioning slot 333, so that the fit and compactness of the entire structure can be better.

[0031] In addition, the outer side of the pillow structure of this embodiment needs to be set up as a whole set for use, which is both beautiful and protective, and has better wrapping properties. Further, the flexible support pad 3 was initially designed to be laid on the upper side of the elastic breathing support layer. Of course, the flexible support pad 3 extends backward to cover the upper side of the head support plate 22. For better wrapping, the front end of the flexible support pad 3 extends forward and downward to form an arc-shaped front lower wrapping cushion 31, which can wrap the middle support part 212 and the bottom support part 213. The rear end of the flexible support pad 3 extends backward and downward to form an arc-shaped rear lower wrapping cushion 32, which can wrap the rear support connection part.

[0032] Through the above-mentioned structural design, the pillow is more controllable, and the ability of refined rest management is improved, which can achieve healthy sleep more accurately to meet people's growing demand for healthy sleep.

[0033] Embodiment 2, this embodiment mainly introduces the method of using the pillow in embodiment 1. Of course, the pillow is preferably configured with the following structure. First, an air pump 41, an air valve control module and a controller are required. The air valve control module includes multiple separate air valves, each of which is connected to one of the support air bags 4 through a ventilation tube. The air pump 41 is connected to each air valve of the air valve control module through the ventilation tube. The controller is electrically connected to the air pump and the air valve control module respectively. The controller controls the start and stop of the air pump and the air valve control module, so that each support air bag 4 can be inflated and deflated separately. The air pump 41 and the air valve control module can be installed and connected to the bottom support seat 1, and the controller can be on the outside of the pillow, connected to the air pump 41 and the air valve control module through a longer wire.

[0034] In addition, a pressure sensor and a sleep data sensor may be provided in the area surrounded by the neck suspension support plate 21, and a distance sensor may be installed and connected to the bottom support seat 1. Furthermore, in the structure of Example 1, more refined management can be achieved while providing a more beneficial leaning experience for the human body. These sensors are electrically controlled by the controller and are electrically connected to the controller. With this arrangement of multiple pressure sensors, it can be clearly seen that the pressure in a certain area is the greatest during use, and this position is the part where the neck leans, and then other sensors are used to adjust the pillow height or provide support for appropriate massage and other actions.

[0035] The following is a detailed introduction to the usage method. Step 1: Use the controller to control the air pump to start and inflate each support airbag 4. The air valve opens during inflation, and the air valve closes after inflation. The air pump also closes. Step 2: After the user lies on the pillow, adjust the pillow height according to his or her own feeling of leaning on it. If it is too high, deflate it, and if it is too low, inflate it. This is a relatively basic usage mode. After adjusting it in this way, it will adapt to the same height position every time after leaning on it. There are not many sensors involved here, and this mode is mainly involved when the user just lies on it in the early stage.

[0036] Another smarter mode includes step 1: obtaining the user's current sleeping position data through the sleep data sensor, and obtaining the data of the current pressure on the neck suspension support plate 21 through the pressure sensor; step 2: judging whether the user is sleeping on his back or side according to the sleeping position data, and judging the area of ​​leaning according to the pressure data; step 3: autonomously controlling the inflation and deflation according to the sleeping habits of the human body, which can be operated by the controller using the existing control system. Here, it can be processed regionally, and the airbags involved in the leaning or lying position are adjusted, without all of them having to be adjusted. Moreover, when a sound sensor or the like detects that the user is snoring, the support airbag 4 in the area can be slowly inflated and deflated in a small amount according to the area detected by the pressure sensor to relieve snoring. When the user is awake, the support airbag 4 can be inflated and deflated in a large amount to massage the neck. Of course, the data involved in these operations can be saved in the controller, so that many users' usage habits and different functional requirements will be recorded in the controller, and parameters can be set or used parameters can be selected at any time. The settings of these systems are all based on the particularity of the structure of the pillow itself.

[0037] Through the above design, the structure of the pillow that can be adjusted up and down is optimized, which can better adapt to the human body's sleeping and breathing, and the integration will be better. It can also be used for relaxation and leisure. In the case of frequent use, the stability of the structure is also guaranteed, so that the service life can be guaranteed.

[0038] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
