The rear headrest 103 is filled with memory foam, latex or other flexible materials, and the surface of the rear headrest 103 is made of antibacterial material. The shape of the top of the rear headrest 103 conforms to the ergonomic principles of the human head and neck.

[0029] A jaw support adjustment mechanism 2, the jaw support adjustment mechanism 2 includes a front jaw support 201 and a regulator 102 on the rear neck support 1. The front jaw support 201 is a U-shaped structure. The top of the front jaw support 201 is filled with memory foam, latex or other flexible materials, and the surfaces of the front jaw support 201 and the airbag 3 are made of antibacterial materials. The shape of the top of the front jaw support 201 conforms to the ergonomic principles of the human mandible. Tooth belts 2011 are provided on both the left and right sides of the front jaw support 201. The front jaw support 201 is snap-connected to the regulators 102 on both the left and right sides of the rear neck support 1 through the tooth belts 2011. The internal space formed by the enclosure of the front jaw support 201 and the rear neck support 1 is adapted to the human neck. After enclosure, the contact area between the front jaw support 201, the rear neck support 1 and the human body is small, and the air permeability is strong.

[0030] At the top of the adjuster 102 of the jaw support adjusting mechanism 2, there is an adjustment buckle 1021. A socket 10211 adapted to the toothed belt 2011 penetrates through the side of the adjustment buckle 1021. On the left and right sides of the socket 10211, there are release buttons 10212 for releasing the toothed belt 2011. The working principles of the toothed belt 2011, the adjustment buckle 1021, and the release buttons 10212 are inspired by the helmet adjustment buckle, enabling the front jaw support 201 connected to the adjuster 102 to slide and engage relative to the adjustment buckle 1021 through the toothed belt 2011, thereby adjusting the enclosed internal space between the front jaw support 201 and the rear neck support 1 to adapt to the neck circumference of the user. At the bottom of the adjustment buckle 1021, there is a rotating shaft 10213, and the end of the rotating shaft 10213 is gear-shaped. A guide groove 10214 is opened on the side of the rotating shaft 10213. At the bottom of the adjuster 102, there is a turntable 1022.

Inside the top end of the turntable 1022, there is a limit card slot 10221 adapted to the rotating shaft 10213 and its end gear: Inside the turntable 1022, there is a damping shaft ring 10222, and on the inner side of the damping shaft ring 10222, there is a guide block 10223 adapted to the guide groove 10214 of the rotating shaft 10213. The rotating shaft 10213 is slidably connected in the limit card slot 10221 along the guide groove 10214 in the direction perpendicular to the top surface of the turntable 1022 through the guide block 10223. The bottom end of the adjustment buckle 1021 is horizontally hinged to the top end of the turntable 1022 through the rotating shaft 10213 and the damping shaft ring 10222. The bottom surface of the limit card slot 10221 and the end gear part of the rotating shaft 10213 are made of magnetic materials that attract each other. This not only facilitates the operation of detaching the end gear part of the rotating shaft 10213 from the bottom surface of the limit card slot 10221 to adjust the angle of the front jaw support 201 relative to the rear neck support 1, but also can fix the position of the front jaw support 201 through the adsorption effect between the bottom surface of the limit card slot 10221 and the end gear part of the rotating shaft 10213, enabling the present utility model to be applicable to the support and fixation of the human neck in different forms, and can separately adjust the support and fixation of the lower jaw during use, facilitating activities such as drinking water and eating;

[0031] Airbag 3, the U-shaped support frame 101 is connected to an airbag 3 at the bottom. The surface of the airbag 3 is made of antibacterial material, and the bottom end shape of the airbag 3 conforms to the ergonomic principles of the human shoulder and neck, is convenient for storage, has a light weight, and a good use feeling;

[0032] Inflation mechanism 4, the inflation mechanism 4 consists of an air pipe 401, a deflation valve 402, and a hand-squeezed inflation balloon 403. The bottom of the airbag 3 is connected to the outlet end of the air pipe 401. The inlet end of the air pipe 401 is connected to the hand-squeezed inflation balloon 403, and a deflation valve 402 is provided at the connection between the air pipe 401 and the hand-squeezed inflation balloon 403. The hand-squeezed inflation balloon 403 cooperates with the deflation valve 402 to inflate and deflate the airbag 3, which can adjust the overall height of the present utility model and improve the practicality of the present utility model.

[0033] Working principle: When using this new type of breathable neck support, first, place the airbag 3 of this new type of breathable neck support downward and the back pillow 103 upward, and place it on the user's shoulder and neck from back to front, so that the user's neck is within the U-shaped arc of the U-shaped support frame 101 and is clamped. At the same time, the airbag 3 also crosses the user's left and right upper shoulders from back to front. Then, place the inflation mechanism 4 connected to the airbag 3 in front of the chest. After adjusting the deflation valve 402 to the closed state, repeatedly press the hand-squeezed inflation balloon 403 to inflate the airbag 3 through the air pipe 401. The overall height of this utility model increases. When the user feels that the height is appropriate, stop pressing the hand-squeezed inflation balloon 403. If the user feels that the height is too high, adjust the deflation valve 402 to the open state. At this time, the gas inside the airbag 3 leaks out along the air pipe 401, and the overall height of this utility model decreases. When the user feels that the height is appropriate, adjust the deflation valve 402 to the closed state again. The above actions of adjusting the overall height of this utility model by inflating and deflating the airbag 3 can be flexibly repeated as needed during the use of this utility model. Then, take out the front jaw support 201 with its top surface upward and the U-shaped arc facing the user's face. Pass the toothed belts 2011 at both ends of the front jaw support 201 through the sockets 10211 on the sides of the adjustment buckles 1021 on the left and right sides of the U-shaped support frame 101 respectively, so that the front jaw support 201 and the rear neck support 1 enclose the user's neck. At the same time, adjust the enclosure diameter by the release buttons 10212 on both sides of the adjustment buckle 1021. Finally, pull out the adjustment buckle 1021 connected to the top of the front jaw support 201 by the left and right side adjusters 102 from inside to outside. At this time, the guide block 10223 on the rotating shaft 10213 at the bottom end of the adjustment buckle 1021 slides along the guide groove 10214, and the gear at the end of the rotating shaft 10213 disengages from the bottom surface of the limit card slot 10221 inside the turntable 1022. Rotate the adjustment buckle 1021 horizontally upward at the top of the turntable 1022 through the rotating shaft 10213 and the damping collar 10222, driving the angle of the connected front jaw support 201 to be adjusted up and down. After the top of the front jaw support 201 fits the user's lower jaw, release the adjustment buckle 1021 connected to both ends of the front jaw support 201. Under the action of magnetic force, the bottom surface of the limit card slot 10221 and the gear part at the end of the rotating shaft 10213 are engaged and fixed. If the position of the front jaw support 201 needs to be adjusted again or during the use process when the user needs to eat, repeat the above steps. After use, press the release button 10212 of any one side adjustment buckle 1021, pull out the corresponding side toothed belt 2011 from the socket 10211, then open the deflation valve 402 to release the gas in the airbag 3, and detach this utility model from the user's shoulder and neck from front to back. At this time, the use of the entire new type of breathable neck support is completed, and the content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
