Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pillows, in particular to a Chinese medicine pillow. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of the aging process of my country's population and the changes in people's production and lifestyle, mobile phones, computers and other electronic products have generally occupied a large part of people's production and life. The resulting cervical spondylosis has become a common disease that harms the middle-aged, elderly and young people. People sleep for more than 1 / 3 of their lives, and the average daily sleep time is more than 8 hours. Pillows are necessary for people to rest in bed. The height of the pillow directly affects the force on the cervical joints and ligaments. Unscientific use of pillows will keep the cervical spine in an abnormal state for a long time, inducing cervical spondylosis.
[0003] The use of medicinal pillow therapy in clinical treatment and health care and disease prevention has a long history. As early as the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong's "Emergency Prescriptions for the Elbow" recorded the use of steamed soybeans in pillows to make bean pillows; and the use of Chaxiang, Qingmuxiang, Tiger Head and other drugs to make medicinal pillows for treatment. In the "Thousand Gold Prescriptions", Sun Siyao of the Tang Dynasty recorded that "to treat a strong head and not be able to look around, steam a bucket of soybeans, which will change color, and put them in a bag as a pillow." That is, medicinal pillows are used to treat cervical spondylosis with stiff neck pain and inability to flex and extend the head and neck. Later, in the Song Dynasty, according to literature, cassia pillows, chrysanthemum pillows, stone pillows, etc. came out one after another and were used in clinical practice. During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, medicinal pillow therapy became increasingly rich. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty recorded many medicinal pillow prescriptions such as mung bean pillows, Wuying pillows, cassia chrysanthemum pillows, black bean pillows, peach branch pillows, etc. for clinical use. There are special discussions on this in the works such as "Xianxi Waizhi Fangxuan" by Lu Jinsui of the Qing Dynasty and "Guangqunfangpu" by Liu Quan, which have raised it to a certain theoretical level. In recent decades, with the improvement of people's health awareness, Chinese medicine products have gradually entered the homes of ordinary people, and medicinal pillow therapy has also developed to a certain extent.
[0004] Medicinal pillow therapy is a special treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine. Currently, there are many research and developments on medicinal pillows, but most of them have the following problems:
[0005] 1. The structure of the medicinal pillow is simple, usually a cylindrical pillow or a square flat pillow, with a pillowcase arranged outside the pillow core with built-in Chinese medicine particles. It does not conform to the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, and long-term use is not conducive to the health of the cervical spine.
[0006] 2. Due to individual differences among users, traditional medicated pillows cannot adjust the head and neck support according to the different physiological curves of patients, and the comfort needs to be improved.
[0007] 3. Also due to individual differences among users, traditional medicinal pillows cannot adjust the overall height adaptively, which can lead to unsatisfactory health care effects and even cause certain harm; Summary of the invention

[0025] Combination Figure 1-6 As shown, a double-humped Chinese medicine pillow comprises a pillow body 3 with a front hump 1 and a rear hump 2, and a Chinese medicine pillow core 4 installed in the humps of the pillow body 3. The front and back described in this article refer to the front side close to the trunk in the use state and the rear side close to the trunk. The pillow body 3 is generally a memory foam pillow, a latex pillow, etc. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the left is the back and the right is the front. A concave, arc-shaped head support area 5 is formed between the front hump 1 and the rear hump 2. The front hump 1 and the rear hump 2 adopt an ergonomic hump design, which can support the cervical spine and head of the human body and ensure the quality of human sleep. At the same time, the Chinese medicine pillow core 4 used in the hump can be absorbed and utilized by the human body through the penetration of Chinese medicine ingredients, and has the effect of Chinese medicine therapy.
[0026] Regarding the Chinese medicine for filling, there are single-ingredient filling such as Cassia seed and buckwheat husk, multi-ingredient filling or filling with famous Chinese medicine prescriptions. The combined use of multiple medicines is a medicine with strong targeted efficacy, such as Patchouli, Cymbidium, Frankincense and Myrrh with strong orifice-opening effects, Safflower and Peach Kernel with strong blood-dissolving effects, Ligusticum chuanxiong and Corydalis with strong analgesic effects, etc.
[0027] Compared with the traditional medicinal pillow, the outstanding differences of the utility model mainly include the following three aspects:
[0028] 1. Adopting the combined pillow body 3 structure:
[0029] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown in the figure, the pillow body 3 of the utility model includes a base pillow 6, and a first movable pillow 7 and a second movable pillow 8 arranged above the base pillow 6. That is to say, the pillow body 3 is mainly composed of three large blocks, and the front hump 1 and the rear hump 2 are respectively located on the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8. In this form, the hump of the pillow body 3 has the basis for front and rear spacing adjustment, and also makes the head support area 5 between the hump have certain curvature adjustment characteristics. Specifically, as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, one of the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8 is provided with an inclined slope 9 and the other is provided with a cantilevered wing 10 on the opposite side of the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8, that is, the left side of the first movable pillow 7 and the right side of the second movable pillow 8. The head support area 5 is formed by the wing 10 overlapping the slope 9.
[0030] In this structural form, the slope 9 can be set on the first movable pillow 7 or the second movable pillow 8; the corresponding wing 10 is set on the second movable pillow 8 and the first movable pillow 7. By adjusting the relative positions of the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8, the distance between the two humps can be changed, and the curvature and position of the head support area can be adjusted to a certain extent by the reasonable overlap of the wing 10 and the slope 9, so that the Chinese medicine pillow is more in line with the individual differences of the human body and has excellent universality. The more the wing 10 and the slope 9 overlap, the higher the height of the head support area 5 and the smaller the curvature; conversely, the lower the height of the head support area 5 and the larger the curvature.
[0031] In order to ensure the stability of the two after overlapping, that is, after overlapping, the slope 9 and the wing 10 can be connected by Velcro, that is, the male and female surfaces of the Velcro are respectively arranged on the bottom surface of the wing 10 and the top surface of the slope 9. Alternatively, the bottom surface of the wing 10 may be provided with an anti-skid rubber layer, and the anti-skid rubber layer reduces or prevents the relative sliding of the slope 9 and the wing 10 to ensure stability. It should be noted that since the Velcro is composed of male and female surfaces, a part of it is arranged on the surface of the slope 9, and the surface of the slope 9, except for the area covered by the wing 10, is the position in contact with the head and neck of the human body. In order to prevent friction discomfort caused by excessive contact of the connector, the female surface (suede surface) of the Velcro tape is usually arranged on the slope 9, and its position should be as close to the left and right sides of the pillow body 3 as possible in terms of contact to ensure the strength of the connection, so as to avoid the main support area.
[0032] In the present invention, the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8 are connected in an active manner. In order to improve the stability of the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8 after installation, the bottom surface of the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8 and the top surface of the base pillow 6 can also be connected by Velcro. Alternatively, the bottom surface of the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8 and the top surface of the base pillow 6 are both provided with an anti-slip rubber layer, and the friction force is increased by the anti-slip rubber layer to prevent the movement thereof.
[0033] On this basis, a better approach could be: Figure 3 As shown in , the top of the base pillow 6 is provided with a central positioning ridge 11 extending in the front-to-back direction, and the bottoms of the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8 are provided with a positioning groove 12 matched with the central positioning ridge 11. Of course, it is also possible that the bottoms of the first movable pillow 7 and the second movable pillow 8 are provided with a central positioning ridge 11 extending in the front-to-back direction, and the top of the base pillow 6 is provided with a positioning groove 12 matched with the central positioning ridge 11. Through the cooperation of the central positioning ridge 11 and the positioning groove 12, the movable pillow body can be effectively prevented from swinging left and right when the human body turns over. In the front-to-back direction, since the range of human body movement is usually limited, the design of the positioning ridge and the positioning groove can be omitted.
[0034] 2. The pillow has a stacking height adjustment structure:
[0035] like Figure 2 and 3As shown in the figure, the bottom of the pillow body 3 of the utility model is stacked with four layers of bottom pads, including a No. 1 bottom pad 13, two No. 2 bottom pads 14 and a No. 3 bottom pad 15. The thicknesses of the No. 1 bottom pad 13, the No. 2 bottom pad 14 and the No. 3 bottom pad 15 are respectively: one unit length, two unit lengths and five unit lengths. The reason why three different unit lengths of bottom pads are used is mainly because through different combinations of the three and their respective use, the utility model can achieve height adjustment within 10 unit lengths. Generally, one unit length is 1 cm. Of course, other unit lengths can also be used.
[0036] In order to ensure stability, the base pads of the utility model should also be fixed to a certain extent, or the friction between adjacent base pads should be increased to ensure stability. Therefore, the method that can be adopted can also refer to the signing of the movable pillow or the head support part 5, the Velcro connection or the anti-slip rubber layer increases the friction. For example: the upper and lower surfaces of each base pad are respectively provided with a male surface and a female surface of the Velcro, and the upper and lower layers of the base pads are connected by Velcro, and the base pad on the top layer is also connected to the pillow body 3. In this form of Velcro connection, in order to ensure the stability of the base pad foundation, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the hook and loop fasteners may include a circle of square ring-shaped hook and loop fasteners 16 arranged along the circumference of the base pad, and a cross-shaped hook and loop fastener 17 arranged in the middle of the ring-shaped hook and loop fasteners 16.
[0037] Since the base pad does not come into direct contact with the human body and needs to have a certain degree of supporting rigidity, in order to reduce the overall cost, the base pad is usually made of a coir pad covered with a jacket cloth, and the Velcro is set on the jacket cloth. In addition, a better approach may be, for example, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it also includes a reinforcing strap 18, one end of which is connected to one side wall of the pillow body 3, and the other end is tied around the bottom pad and connected to the belt ring 19 on the other side wall of the pillow body 3. By reinforcing the stack of bottom pads with the reinforcing strap 18, its overall stability can be effectively improved.
[0038] 3. The sleeve structure of the Chinese medicine pillow core:
[0039] Combination Figure 2 , 5 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, a mounting hole extending in the transverse direction is provided in the hump of the pillow body 3, and the Chinese medicine pillow core 4 is provided in the mounting hole. Figure 6 As shown, the Chinese medicine pillow core 4 includes a core tube with a circular cross section, and the core tube is composed of an inner heating water cylinder 20 and an outer medicine cylinder 21. The heating water cylinder 20 is used to add heating water, and the interlayer between the medicine cylinder 21 and the heating water cylinder 20 is used to fill the Chinese medicine decoction pieces. The hot water in the heating water cylinder 20 can heat the Chinese medicine components in the medicine cylinder 21, improve the permeability of its effective components, so that the effective components can be better absorbed and utilized, and ensure the effect of the medicine pillow.
[0040] In order to prevent interference between the water adding operation and the medicine adding operation, the openings of the heating water cylinder 20 and the medicine cylinder 21 of the utility model are respectively located at the two ends of the core cylinder, such as Figure 6 As shown, one is at the upper end and the other is at the lower end, and a water seal cover 22 and a medicine seal cover 23 are respectively provided at the opening. Generally, the water seal cover 22 and the medicine seal cover 23 are respectively threadedly connected to the heating water cylinder 20 and the medicine cylinder 21, and of course, an expansion plug type cover body can also be used. In order to reduce the situation where the water seal cover 22 is accidentally touched during sleep and causes water leakage, the opening of the heating water cylinder 20 can be designed to be concave inward to form a lower concave portion 25, and the water seal cover 22 is located in the lower concave portion 25.
[0041] Since the opening end of the medicine cartridge 21 for adding Chinese medicine particles is blocked to a certain extent by the heating water cartridge 20, in order to facilitate the addition of medicine, the end of the heating water cartridge 20 close to the opening of the medicine cartridge 21 can be designed to be semicircular.
[0042] The side wall of the cartridge 21 of the utility model is formed with a channel for drug components to penetrate outward. For example, the cartridge 21 is a sieve-like cylinder with fine holes. However, considering the convenience of processing, it can be that the cartridge 21 is provided with a plurality of drug penetration holes, and the outer surface of the cartridge 21 is wrapped with a plurality of layers of gauze 24 to form a channel.
[0043] For some pillows whose permeability (or air permeability) is not particularly good, in order to ensure that the Chinese medicine ingredients can effectively penetrate into the hump surface, the hump surface of the utility model can also be provided with air holes that penetrate to the mounting hole.
[0044] In addition, in order to facilitate the overall installation of the Chinese medicine pillow core 4 and facilitate pulling, the surface of the medicine cover 23 can be provided with a pull ring 26. In addition, since the pillow body 3 usually adopts a latex pillow core, a memory foam pillow core, etc., which has high softness and large friction, it is more troublesome to install the Chinese medicine pillow core 3 each time. For this reason, a mesh cover 27 can also be set in the installation hole. The mesh cover 27 can be regarded as a reinforced inner wall of the installation hole, which has a certain hardness and is convenient for installing the Chinese medicine pillow core 4. It generally adopts an elliptical shape, and the inner diameter of the short side of the mesh cover 27 is adapted to the outer diameter of the core tube. While ensuring the stable fixation of the Chinese medicine pillow core 4, more space for the volatilization and penetration of the Chinese medicine components can be reserved. End caps 28 are provided at both ends of the mesh cover 27 to realize the opening and closing of the installation hole.
