Abstract

The invention discloses a wearable customized pillow inner, and belongs to bedding. The purpose is to ensure the straightness of the cervical vertebra and the thoracic vertebra during sleeping. According to the scheme, firstly, the 3D scanning technology is adopted, three-dimensional characteristics of the head, the shoulders and the neck of a customized user are obtained, three-dimensional characteristic data are transmitted back to a 3D printer, a customized pillow inner is printed through the 3D printer, the inner space of the pillow inner is matched with the head, the neck and the shoulders of the customized user, and the pillow inner is shaped like a combination of a helmet and a neck protector and half wraps the head and the neck of the user from the back. The two sides of the pillow inner are flush with the outer sides of the shoulders of the customized user after being stressed and deformed, and the back face of the pillow inner is flush with the back of the customized user after being stressed and deformed. Therefore, whether a user lies on the back or lies on the side, the cervical vertebra and the thoracic vertebra can be guaranteed to be straight, smooth breathing is guaranteed, and sleep quality is guaranteed.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to bedding, in particular to a pillow core. Background Art

[0002] Currently, pillow cores come in a wide variety of materials, shapes, and specifications, allowing individuals to choose the right one based on their preferences. However, sleeping positions, head shapes, and body shapes vary significantly from person to person. If you want to ensure that the cervical and thoracic vertebrae remain straight and breathe freely in various sleeping positions, such as supine and side sleeping, existing standard pillows are unlikely to meet these requirements. This is especially true for children, who often roll around in bed, potentially sleeping in various positions, including supine, side, and prone positions. Without the child resting on the pillow, maintaining a straight cervical and thoracic vertebrae is even more difficult. Even prone sleeping poses the risk of suffocation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to dynamically maintain the straightness of the cervical spine and the thoracic spine in various sleeping positions, ensure unobstructed breathing, and guarantee sleep quality.

[0004] The present invention proposes a wearable, customizable pillow core. 3D scanning technology is first used to obtain the three-dimensional features of the user's head, neck, and shoulders. This data is then transmitted to a 3D printer, which then prints the customized pillow core. The pillow core's interior conforms to the user's head, neck, and shoulders, resembling a combination helmet and neck guard, half-wrapping the user's head and neck from behind. The sides of the pillow core deform under stress, aligning them with the user's shoulders, while the back of the pillow deforms under stress, aligning them with the user's back. This ensures that the cervical and thoracic vertebrae are aligned, ensuring smooth breathing and ensuring quality sleep, whether the user is sleeping on their back or side.

[0005] The wearable, customizable pillow core described above features a 3D-printed, three-dimensional structure resembling a loofah. The diameter and density of the printed filaments are determined based on force analysis and deformation. This ensures the pillow core is breathable, lightweight, comfortable, and cost-effective while still meeting its functional requirements.

[0006] The wearable customized pillow core described above is characterized in that the internal space is spaced to accommodate the ears, thereby ensuring that the ears are not pressurized and hearing is not affected when sleeping on the side.

[0007] The wearable custom pillow described above is characterized by increased thickness at the forehead. When used in a prone sleeping position, the pillow deforms under pressure while still leaving space for breathing through the mouth and nose. This feature is particularly suitable for infants and young children who roll around in bed while sleeping. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] Currently, 3D printing materials and equipment are well-established in the consumer sector. Typical applications include 3D-printed shoes and insoles. Numerous devices are also available for 3D scanning of the human body, typically used for custom clothing. With technological advancements and the development of artificial intelligence, the use of multiple photos to generate 3D images is also becoming increasingly common. This method requires relatively low precision. Following the standard operating instructions, users can use a tape measure to measure typical dimensions such as head circumference, neck circumference, and shoulder width. Using a smartphone, users can take photos of the front, back, left, and right sides. These data and photos are then uploaded to the customization system, which intelligently generates a 3D model and order form for printing using the 3D printer. This system then provides shipping, tracking, feedback, and ongoing service through the logistics system. The printing material used is a light-curable material. Users can wear a matching textile headgear, which acts as a pillowcase depending on the season, ensuring comfortable and hygienic sleep. The entire device is breathable and washable, ensuring healthy and hygienic use.

Claims

1. A wearable custom pillow core uses 3D scanning technology to obtain the three-dimensional features of the user's head, shoulders, and neck.

2. The wearable customized pillow core according to claim 1, characterized in that: The spatial structures of 3D printing are all filamentous three-dimensional structures like loofah sponge, and the diameter and density of the printing filament are determined based on force analysis and deformation.

3. The wearable customized pillow core according to claim 1, characterized in that: The internal space corresponds to the space left for the ears.

4. The wearable customized pillow core according to claim 1, characterized in that: Increase the thickness of the pillow core at the area corresponding to the forehead.
