Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a cervical health care pillow, in particular to a cervical health care pillow that can accurately adjust its height. It belongs to the field of daily necessities for health care in life. This pillow can ensure that the cervical vertebra is in a stretched horizontal state during side sleep, and the cervical vertebra is in the correct physiological curvature state during supine sleep, and can also traction and stretch the cervical vertebra during supine sleep. Technical Background
[0002] A pillow is an important daily necessity that everyone needs every day. Since everyone has to sleep for six to more than ten hours every day, whether the pillow is scientific and applicable determines the health of people's cervical vertebrae. So far, neither various hard pillows such as wood nor various soft pillows such as buckwheat husks and memory foam can accurately adjust their height. That is to say, there is no pillow that can ensure that the cervical vertebra is in a horizontal state during side sleep and the cervical vertebra is in the correct physiological curvature state during supine sleep for everyone. This brings harm to the cervical vertebra and affects the health and rehabilitation of people's cervical vertebrae. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to provide everyone with a pillow that can protect the health of the cervical vertebra, the present utility model is designed: a cervical health care pillow that can accurately adjust its height according to the different situations of each person. Such a cervical health care pillow mainly consists of a headrest, a neckrest, a pillow support and a neckrest bracket ( Figure 1 ). The headrest is composed of a fixed pillow on the left, a movable pillow in the middle and a fixed pillow on the right ( Figure 3 ). The fixed pillows on both left and right sides are an integral part. The fixed pillows are installed at the rear of the pillow support. There are three fixing nuts on each of the left and right sides of the fixed pillows ( Figure 7 ). There are three height adjustment slots corresponding to the nuts on each of the left and right sides at the rear of the pillow support ( Figure 5 ). They are assembled together through fixing screws. Since the fixing screws can move freely up and down in the adjustment slots, the height of the fixed pillow can be accurately adjusted according to the different needs of each person ( Figure 2 ). The movable pillow in the middle can be installed or not installed. The movable pillow has a three-drawer structure and can be independently adjusted to three levels of high, medium and low in height.
[0004] The neckrest is installed at the front of the pillow support through the neckrest bracket. There are fixing nuts on the neckrest bracket, and there are corresponding height adjustment slots on each of the left and right sides at the front of the pillow support. They are combined through fixing screws ( Figure 2) In this way, the height of the neck pillow bracket and the neck pillow can be precisely adjusted. Since both the headrest and the neck pillow can be freely and precisely fixed at the required height according to the needs of each person, it ensures that the cervical spine is in a good state during sleep, which can guarantee that a healthy cervical spine is not damaged, and a damaged cervical spine can be improved and rehabilitated. The neck pillow brackets are two symmetrical ones on the left and right, and there are two neck pillow rotation positioning baffles on each of the two neck pillow brackets.

Specific implementation plan
[0023] The cervical health pillow with precisely adjustable height is mainly composed of a headrest, a cervical pillow (abbreviated as neck pillow), a pillow support, and a neck pillow support ( Figure 1 ). The headrest is a rectangular box shape, specifically composed of three box-shaped headrests on the left, middle, and right. The two headrests on the left and right are fixed pillows and are an integral whole. The middle headrest is a removable movable pillow. There is a groove for the movable pillow between the two fixed pillows on both sides. Three fixing nuts are installed on each side of the headrest ( Figure 2 .4.). The pillow support is a rectangular box shape without a top ( Figure 5 ), and there are five height adjustment grooves on each side of the pillow support that are matched with the fixing nuts on the headrest and neck pillow support ( Figure 2.5.6), horizontal scales are engraved on the groove. The headrest is placed at the rear of the pillow support. Fix the left end of the headrest at the middle height with the middle fixing screw. When the user lies on their side with the headrest on the right end headrest, an onlooker or the user himself / herself observes using a mirror. Adjust the height of the headrest with the middle fixing screw. When the head and cervical vertebra are in a horizontal position, tighten the middle fixing screw. Then, tighten the other two fixing screws according to the scale on the middle adjustment groove. Then, adjust the fixing screw at the left end of the headrest to the same height as that on the right end adjustment groove according to the scale and fix it. In this way, it can ensure that when the user lies on their side to sleep, the head and cervical vertebra are in a horizontal state. The neck pillow is a rectangle with shafts installed at both ends ( Figure 8 ), the upper part of the neck pillow is a convex arc, and the arc on the side close to the head is larger ( Figure 9 ). The neck pillow is installed at the front of the pillow support through the neck pillow support ( Figure 2 .14). Two fixing nuts are installed on the neck pillow support to fix one end of the neck pillow at the middle height position. Then, the user lies on their back and places the neck on the other end of the neck pillow. Adjust the height of the neck pillow according to the feeling of the cervical vertebra until the height at which the cervical vertebra feels comfortable and has an appropriate sense of support, and then fix it. Then, adjust the other end of the neck pillow according to the scale on the adjustment groove at this end. Finally, the horizontal height of the neck pillow should be higher than that of the headrest. In this way, it can ensure that when people lie on their back to sleep, the cervical vertebra is in a normal physiological curvature state. When lying on the back, the neck pillow is in a horizontal position. However, when lying on the side, the horizontal neck pillow will cause discomfort to the neck and shoulders. Therefore, the neck pillow is designed to be able to rotate freely between the horizontal position and about 80 degrees above. In this way, when lying on the side, the neck pillow will automatically be in the most comfortable position under the action of the neck and shoulders. In this way, not only the cervical vertebra and shoulders will be very comfortable, but the neck pillow will also have a supporting force on the cheek, thus preventing the common phenomenon of neck shrinking during sleep and ensuring that the cervical vertebra is always in a horizontally extended state during sleep, which can relieve and repair the compression of the head on the cervical vertebra for a day and the existing injuries of the cervical vertebra. To improve the comfort of the neck and the flexibility of the rotation of the neck pillow, bearings can be installed on the neck pillow support. To meet the different needs of people for the width of the neck pillow, the neck pillow can be designed into a structure with adjustable width ( Figure 10 ). The adjustment plates can be designed as two or four pieces, and they can be added arbitrarily from one piece to four pieces when widening. To facilitate the operation of adjusting the height of the headrest, the fixing screws can be designed as internal hexagonal shapes and the matching wrenches ( Figure 11.17). To improve cervical fatigue and pain, moderate traction of the cervical vertebrae is required. This is the reason for designing the middle part of the headrest as a movable headrest (abbreviated as a movable pillow). When the movable pillow is removed or lowered, when a person lies on their back, only the neck is on the neck pillow and the head is suspended. When people's cervical vertebrae are very healthy, the cervical vertebrae can flexibly stretch and bend to a certain extent, and the head will fall on the lower movable pillow or the pillow support bottom plate. When people's cervical vertebrae show phenomena such as stiffness and degeneration, the cervical vertebrae lose their flexible stretching function and become stiff, and the head will be in a suspended state. At this time, due to the weight of the head, there will be a traction effect on the cervical vertebrae. This traction force is within the safe range that people can fully bear and will not cause harm to the cervical vertebrae. Therefore, people can complete the traction rehabilitation treatment of the cervical vertebrae during comfortable sleep. Installing a low-voltage timed and safe hot compress sheet on the neck pillow will have a better effect. This kind of micro-force traction during sleep for a long time and ensuring that the cervical vertebrae are in the normal physiological curvature state fundamentally creates a good environment for the healthy growth of the cervical vertebrae, and the rehabilitation effect of the cervical vertebrae is far better than various short-term strong tractions. To meet people's different requirements for the traction force of the cervical vertebrae, the movable pillow can be designed to be height-adjustable, such as designing the movable pillow as a three-drawer type (Figure 15). Through use and verification, the neck pillow is in an upward-tilted state usually, which gives a better sense of experience. Therefore, a counterweight is designed on the upper side of the neck pillow ( Figure 9 ). Combining the need for the counterweight of the neck pillow, the fastening nut of the neck pillow can be designed as a thicker long cylindrical shape to increase the weight of the nut and replace the function of the counterweight ( Figure 12 ). To prevent the neck pillow from rotating irregularly, a neck pillow positioning baffle is designed on the neck pillow bracket ( Figure 13 ). To increase the comfort of the neck and head, soft cushions are installed on the headrest and the neck pillow. To prevent bumping, the neck pillow bracket is designed to have the same height and width as the neck pillow, and an anti-bumping protective cover is installed on its outer side. For an adult of medium height (1.7 meters), the length of the pillow support is about 55 cm, the width is about 25 cm, and the height is about 4 - 5 cm. The width of the headrest is about 20 cm, the length of the headrest depends on the inner length of the pillow support, and the height is about 4 cm. In this way, the adjustable height of the headrest is about 4 cm to about 7 - 8 cm. The length of the neck pillow depends on the thickness of the neck pillow bracket and the outer length of the pillow support, the width is about 5 cm, and the thickness is 1.5 - 2 cm. The height of the neck pillow bracket is about 6 cm. To increase the adjustment range of the height of the health care pillow, a pillow support height adjustment plate can be added on top of the pillow support ( Figure 16 ). Regarding
[0024] the specific dimensions of the cervical health care pillow, like clothes and hats, according to different situations such as teenagers, adults, super tall and overweight people, etc., various different size models of health care pillows can be customized. The production materials of the health care pillow are very extensive. For example, wood, hard plastic, metal, etc. can all be used.
