[0025] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present invention. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present invention are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Figure 1 The overall appearance structure diagram of a sleeping pillow according to an embodiment of the utility model is shown. The sleeping pillow 10 includes a sleeping pillow body 101, a control module 102, and a retractable airbag 103 included in the body 101. The retractable airbag 103 is connected to the control module 102 through a connecting tube 104.

[0027] Figure 1 The main body 101 is the contact part of the sleeping pillow 10 with the user's head, and is located below the user's head when the user is sleeping. The main body 101 can be made of a comfortable and durable material with a Shore hardness between 40 and 45 degrees. According to one embodiment of the utility model, the length of the main body 101 is 600cm and the width is 400cm. It should be understood that the size and shape of the main body 101 can be constructed in any suitable manner. In one embodiment, the main body 101 can be implemented as a pillow core. When the user is sleeping, the inner cover of the pillow and the outer cover of the pillow can be put on the outside of the pillow core as needed, so as to further improve the user's sleeping comfort and protect the pillow core, and facilitate usual cleaning and replacement.

[0028] Despite Figure 1 One retractable airbag 103 is shown in the figure, but it should be understood that the main body 101 can include any number of suitable retractable airbags 103. Preferably, the main body 101 includes 2 to 3 retractable airbags 103. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiments respectively show the situation of three retractable airbags. Figure 2The main body 201 of the sleeping pillow 20 includes three retractable airbags 203 , 204 and 205 . Figure 3 The main body 301 shown includes three retractable airbags 303, 304 and 305. These retractable airbags are preferably distributed in sequence in the central position of the interior of the main body. Preferably, no matter how many retractable airbags there are, the area occupied by these retractable airbags is about 700cm 2 , and the total capacity is 0.8 to 1.2 liters to ensure that there is enough space for inflation and suction to drive the up and down movement of the user's head. Preferably, the retractable airbag is made of a durable, lightweight material, such as high-density polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, etc.

[0029] Further, still refer to Figure 1 , the control module 102 is located outside the main body 101 and includes an air pump and at least one air hole. Overall, the control module 102 is designed to be compact, user-friendly, and suitable for a variety of sleeping scenarios. In one embodiment of the utility model, the volume of the control module 102 is 1 / 5 of the volume of the main body 101, and the thickness is half of the main body 101. As a result, the control module 102 can meet functional requirements without significantly occupying the usable area. Preferably, in order to better allow the user to manipulate the control module 101, the length-to-width ratio of the control module is 2:3. Furthermore, in order to enhance the user's comfort, the surface of the control module 102 is smooth, so that the user is not easily injured when contacting the control module 102.

[0030] The control module 102 may be driven by a built-in battery or an external power source.

[0031] The air pump is connected to the retractable airbag 103 via a connecting tube 104. In the case of a plurality of retractable airbags, the air pump will be connected to the plurality of retractable airbags 103 respectively via the connecting tubes 104. The air pump is configured to provide sufficient inflation and suction for the retractable airbag 103. In the case of a plurality of retractable airbags, the air pump will uniformly inflate and suction the plurality of retractable airbags, thereby uniformly raising and lowering the upper surface of the main body, so that the up and down displacement of the user's head is more comfortable.

[0032] Preferably, the air pump is a diaphragm pump so that the inflation and inhalation processes are relatively smooth. Preferably, the flow rate of the air pump is 15 to 17 liters per minute. Further, the air pump should be able to provide sufficient pressure, for example, at least 8 to 10 kPa. At the same time, in order not to affect the user's sleep, the operating noise of the air pump should be as low as possible, preferably less than 50 dB. In addition, the life of the air pump is preferably greater than 200 hours.

[0033] In one embodiment of the utility model, the length of the connecting tube 104 should be long enough to suit different sleeping positions of the user. Preferably, the length of the connecting tube 104 is at least 1 meter. At the same time, in order to achieve a good inflation / inhalation effect on the retractable airbag 103, the diameter of the connecting tube 104 is 6 to 7 mm, and the wall thickness of the connecting tube 104 is 0.7 to 1.1 mm. Thus, the connecting tube 104 can provide a smooth gas interaction between the air pump and the retractable airbag 103. The connecting tube 104 can be made of a suitable material, such as a thermoplastic elastomer material, or it can also be a PVC hose with a Shore hardness between 30 and 40 degrees. In one embodiment, the connecting tube 104 connects the first end of the control module 102 to the main body 101, and the first end is adjacent to the main body 101. At the same time, at least one air hole of the control module 102 is arranged at a position away from the main body 101 and the first end. Through the above configuration, it is ensured that the air inflow of the connecting tube 104 is smooth, and the exhaust and / or inhalation of the air hole will not affect the sleep of the user.

[0034] Through the interaction between the air pump and the retractable airbag 103 connected to the air pump via the connecting tube 104, the surface of the main body 101 in contact with the user can be raised and lowered by inflating and deflating the retractable airbag 103, thereby achieving the up and down displacement of the user's head. Specifically, a program can be pre-set in the control module 103 to control the interaction between the air pump and the retractable airbag 103 connected to the air pump via the connecting tube 104. The program can, for example, control the degree, time, and frequency of inflation and / or suction of the retractable airbag 103. Preferably, the user can set the desired personalized inflation and suction intensity and frequency through the control module 102, thereby affecting the amplitude and frequency of the up and down displacement of the user's head. Further, the process of suction and deflation can be achieved periodically.

[0035] Specifically, in order to raise the user's head, the air pump of the control module 102 inhales air from the outside through the air hole and inflates the retractable airbag 103 via the connecting tube 104. If the sleeping pillow includes multiple retractable airbags, the air pump will evenly inflate the multiple retractable airbags to ensure that the inflation degrees of the retractable airbags are the same. The inflation of the retractable airbag 103 will raise the upper surface of the main body 101, and thereby raise the user's head.

[0036] Then, in order to lower the user's head, the air pump draws air from the expandable airbag 103 via the connection tube 104 to lower the upper surface of the main body 101 (thereby being able to lower the user's head), and discharges the drawn air from the air hole. If the sleeping pillow includes a plurality of expandable airbags, the air pump draws air evenly from the plurality of expandable airbags to ensure that the expansion degrees of the expandable airbags are the same.

[0037] Preferably, the air pump is further configured to complete one lifting and lowering of the upper surface of the main body 101 in the range of 4 to 9 seconds, and the height of the upper surface of the main body 101 raised and / or lowered is between 25 mm and 35 mm. Through this configuration, the user experience can be further increased.

[0038] The structures and related effects of various embodiments of the sleeping pillow of the utility model have been described in detail above. It will be understood that by setting an external controller, the sleeping pillow of the utility model can have the function of lifting and moving the user's head upward and downward compared to the traditional sleeping pillow, so as to help achieve the up and down reciprocating head movement, thereby helping to treat high blood pressure users, such as mild hypertension patients or hypertensive patients' nighttime blood pressure. So far, there is no sleeping pillow that can move the user's head up and down to treat the user's blood pressure problem.

[0039] Although the utility model has been described and illustrated in detail in the drawings and the foregoing description, these descriptions and explanations should be considered as illustrative or exemplary rather than restrictive; the utility model is not limited to the embodiments of the utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand and practice other variations of the embodiments of the utility model by studying the drawings and the utility model in practicing the utility model claimed for protection.
