BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional diagram of a neck pillow in an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0018] Figure 2 It is a three-dimensional exploded view of the neck pillow in the embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

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

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the neck pillow in this embodiment includes a C-shaped pillow body 1 and a control module 2 arranged in the pillow body 1. The pillow body 1 is also provided with two movable ear vagus nerve stimulation heads 3, and each ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3 is electrically connected to the control module 2.

[0021] When the user uses the neck pillow for a short rest, the user determines whether to use the ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3 according to the needs. The ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3 can adopt the ear band type ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3 in the prior art, so that the user can place it in the ear cavity for use, so as to stimulate the ear vagus nerve in the ear cavity of the user, thereby achieving the effect of relieving or treating insomnia, anxiety, and depression.

[0022] If the ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3 is connected to the control module 2 by wires, it is easy to get tangled, restricting and restraining the user's actions. Based on this, in this embodiment, in order to avoid restrictions on the use of the ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3, a first wireless communication module is provided in the control module 2, and each ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3 is provided with a second wireless communication module that matches the first wireless communication module for wireless communication, so that the ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3 can achieve wireless communication with the control module 2, which is convenient for users to take and put the ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3. The ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3 is detachably arranged on the pillow body 1.

[0023] Specifically, a placement groove 10 is provided on the pillow body 1, and the ear vagus nerve stimulator 3 is in the placement groove 10. In order to ensure that the placement groove 10 has good positioning of the ear vagus nerve stimulator 3, a clamping and sealing method can be used to ensure the placement stability of the ear vagus nerve stimulator 3 in the placement groove 10. At the same time, the placement groove 10 can be set to a charging groove structure similar to that of an existing wireless earphone box, so as to facilitate the charging of the ear vagus nerve stimulator 3. In order to avoid the placement groove 10 from damaging the overall shape of the pillow body 1, in this embodiment, a placement groove 10 is respectively provided on the end faces of both ends of the pillow body 1, and an ear vagus nerve stimulator 3 is placed in each placement groove 10.

[0024] In addition, when the user uses the pillow body 1 to sleep and rest, in order to conveniently connect the user's sleep parameters and then adaptively control the working parameters of the ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3 to achieve a better sleep effect, and also to conveniently monitor the user's sleep quality, in this embodiment, a monitoring module for detecting the user's sleep state is provided on the pillow body 1, and the monitoring module is electrically connected to the control module 2. The specific functional modules used by the monitoring module are specific according to needs.

[0025] The monitoring module in this embodiment includes a heart rate collector 4 for detecting the user's heart rate. The heart rate collector 4 is arranged on the inner ring surface of the pillow body 1 and is electrically connected to the control module 2. The heart rate collector 4 can collect the user's heart rate information in real time during use, thereby providing important parameter support for adjusting the working parameters of the ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3. At the same time, it is also convenient for users to understand their heart rate change information during sleep, and then make corresponding health work adjustments.

[0026] The monitoring module also includes a snoring detector 5 for detecting the snoring of the user, and the snoring detector 5 is electrically connected to the control module 2. The snoring detector 5 detects the snoring information of the user in real time when the pillow body 1 is in use, thereby facilitating the user to understand the breathing situation during sleep, and then being able to guide the user to make adaptive healthy sleep adjustments.

[0027] In addition, the pillow body 1 is provided with a voice module 6 connected to the control module 2 by electrical signals. The voice module 6 can realize audio playback before sleep, such as playing songs, stories and other audio content. In addition, the voice module 6 can also provide a wake-up service similar to an alarm according to the settings to prevent the user from oversleeping. The voice module 6 can also realize various voice functions that can be realized, such as some operation guidance services for knowing the user to operate the neck pillow.

[0028] In order to facilitate the user to operate and also to facilitate the user to intuitively view the sleep data, a touch screen 7 which is electrically connected to the control module 2 is provided on the outer ring surface of the pillow body 1 .

[0029] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the posture of the pillow body and thus improve the comfort of use of the pillow body 1, the pillow body 1 includes a flexible shell 11 and a plurality of air bags 12 arranged in the shell 11 along the circumference of the shell 11. The shell 11 is also provided with an air pump 13 connected to the control module 2 by electrical signals, and the air pump 13 is connected to the air bags 12. The number of air pumps 13 and air bags 12 is specifically set according to needs, such as at least two air pumps 13 can be set, each air pump 13 is connected to a part of the air bags 12, or each air bag 12 is connected to an air pump 13, each air pump 13 adjusts the inflation amount of the air bag 12 according to the control of the control module 2, and then adjusts the posture of the pillow body 1, so that the posture of the pillow body 1 can meet the posture requirements of the user.

[0030] The neck pillow of the utility model is combined with the ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3, so that during the user's short rest, it can play a sleep-aiding effect, promote the user's sleep, and enhance the effect of rest. In addition, it also increases the frequency of use of the ear vagus nerve stimulation head 3, avoiding the situation where the user forgets to use it or forgets to put it away when it is an independent product and is forced to be unable to use it.
