Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings, and the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a specific component respectively.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the technical invention adopted by the present invention is as follows: A silica gel pillow containing graphene includes a silica gel pillow body 1, a first support protrusion 2 and a second support protrusion 3 are arranged on the silica gel pillow body 1, and open holes 4 are evenly distributed on the surface of the silica gel pillow body 1 to increase air permeability and at the same time share the pressure of the head, so that it has a good support effect. Chenpi powder is evenly painted inside the open holes 4 and on the surface of the silica gel pillow body 1. Through physical extrusion, the surface of the silica gel pillow body 1 and the inside of the open holes 4 semi-wrap and fuse with graphene powder.

[0031] The preparation process of a silica gel pillow containing graphene proposed by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0032] (1) The silica gel pillow is formed. After the graphene is ground into graphene powder, it is sieved through a 300-mesh sieve.

[0033] (2) Load the Chenpi powder into the powder brushing equipment and brush the surface of the silica gel pillow and the inside of the open holes 4 to obtain a silica gel pillow containing Chenpi graphene powder. The intake of graphene powder is controlled at 10% of the weight of the silica gel pillow to ensure that the graphene powder adheres evenly to the entire surface and internal structure of the pillow.

[0034] (3) Put the silica gel pillow containing graphene powder into a special dipping machine for making silica gel pillows for pressing to ensure that the graphene powder particles are embedded in the surface of the silica gel pillow and the inside of the open holes 4.

[0035] (4) Heat treatment in a high-temperature oven to soften the silica gel pillow and wrap the graphene powder particles, which is mainly reflected in the durability and waterproofness in later use. Finally, a silica gel pillow body 1 containing graphene powder is obtained. The high-temperature oven is baked at 150 °C for 25 minutes, and finally about 3% of the graphene powder will be lost.

[0036] Brushing graphene powder onto the surface of the silica gel body and the open pores 4 is the most important step in this process. In addition to manual powder brushing, mechanical powder brushing can also be carried out. Manual powder brushing has low efficiency, uneven powder brushing, and the possibility of mixing impurities, which affects the overall quality. In addition, the powder accumulation on the surface after powder brushing cannot fully fill into the open pores 4. For this reason;

[0037] A silica gel pillow device containing graphene proposed by the present invention includes a powder feeding device. The powder feeding device includes a device box body 5 and a powder spraying structure installed in the device box body 5. The powder spraying structure includes a support bin 6, a powder spraying machine 7, an electric telescopic rod 8 and a powder collecting cover 9. The support bin 6 is rotatably arranged on the inner top wall of the device box body 5. The powder spraying machine 7 and the electric telescopic rod 8 are arranged in the support bin 6. The free end of the electric telescopic rod 8 penetrates through the support bin 6 and extends downward. The powder collecting cover 9 is arranged on the free end of the support bin 6. A powder spraying head 10 is arranged at the bottom of the powder collecting cover 9. The powder spraying head 10 is connected to the powder spraying machine 7 through a pipeline;

[0038] It also includes a support table 11 and a turntable 12 rotatably arranged on the support table 11. A rotating motor 13 is arranged inside the support table 11 and the power output shaft of the rotating motor 13 is connected to the turntable 12. A placement rack 14 is arranged on the turntable 12 for placing the silica gel pillow to be sprayed with powder. During use, the powder collecting cover 9 moves downward and covers the turntable 12.

Open pores 4 are evenly distributed on the surface of the silica gel pillow body 1 to increase air permeability and at the same time distribute the pressure of the head, so that it has a good support effect. Graphene powder is evenly painted inside the open pores 4 and on the surface of the silica gel pillow body 1. Through physical extrusion, the surface of the silica gel pillow body 1 and the inside of the open pores 4 semi-wrap and fuse the graphene powder.

[0041] A preparation process of a silica gel pillow containing graphene proposed by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0042] (1) The silica gel pillow is formed. Graphene is ground into tangerine peel powder and then screened through a 300-mesh sieve;

[0043] (2) The tangerine peel powder is loaded into a powder brushing device, and the surface of the silica gel pillow and the inside of the open pores 4 are brushed with powder to obtain a silica gel pillow containing graphene powder. The intake of graphene powder is controlled at 40% of the weight of the silica gel pillow to ensure that the graphene powder evenly adheres to the entire surface and internal structure of the pillow;

[0044] (3) Place the silica gel pillow containing graphene powder into a special dipping machine for making silica gel pillows, and press it to ensure that the graphene powder particles are embedded in the surface of the silica gel pillow and inside the open pores 4;

[0045] (4) Heat treatment in a high-temperature oven to soften the silica gel pillow and wrap the graphene powder particles, which is mainly reflected in the durability and waterproofness during later use. Finally, obtain the silica gel pillow body 1 containing graphene powder. The high-temperature oven is baked at 150 °C for 30 minutes, and finally about 3% of the graphene powder will be lost.

[0046] Brushing graphene powder on the surface of the silica gel body and the open pores 4 is the most important step in this process. In addition to manual powder brushing, mechanical powder brushing can also be carried out. Manual powder brushing has low efficiency, uneven powder brushing, and the possibility of mixing impurities, which affects the overall quality. In addition, the powder accumulates on the surface after powder brushing and cannot be fully filled into the open pores 4. Therefore;

A rotating motor 13 is arranged inside the support table 11 and the power output shaft of the rotating motor 13 is connected to the turntable 12. A placement rack 14 is arranged on the turntable 12 for placing the silica gel pillow to be powder sprayed. During use, the powder collecting cover 9 moves downward and covers the turntable 12.

[0049] In order to make the silica gel pillow be fully and efficiently powder fed, two groups of support tables 11 and electric telescopic rods 8 are symmetrically arranged. A driving motor 15 is arranged at the top of the device box body 5 and the power output shaft of the driving motor 15 is connected to the support bin 6. A hammering cover 16 is arranged at the bottom of the other group of electric telescopic rods 8. A hammering rubber block 17 is arranged on the inner top wall of the hammering cover 16. The shape of the hammering rubber block 17 is matched with the outer surface shape of the silica gel pillow for easy hammering. A vibration motor 18 is also arranged at the bottom of the placement rack 14 to promote the graphene powder particles to enter the open pores 4.
