The upper pillow can be rotated to the rear of the lower pillow, and only the lower pillow is used to support the human head or neck, forming a usage effect similar to that of a traditional headrest. The upper pillow can also be rotated to the upper or obliquely rear position of the lower pillow, so that the curvature of the headrest or the contact area between the headrest and the user's head and neck changes, enabling the upper pillow and the lower pillow to support the human head simultaneously, or the lower pillow to support the human neck and the upper pillow to support the human head, thereby providing more different usage effects, meeting the user's needs for different support methods, and also meeting the usage needs of people with different physiques and head shapes (such as flat heads or round heads. Flat heads often hope for a larger and flatter contact surface of the headrest, while round heads hope for a larger curvature of the headrest to be more fitting). In addition, by rotating and adjusting the angle between the upper pillow and the lower pillow, when the user is sitting upright, the headrest can be adjusted to form a larger curvature, which is more fitting to the human head or neck. When the user is lying down, the headrest can be adjusted to form a smaller curvature or increase the contact area, so that the support effect is more comfortable. By rotating the upper pillow to change the curvature and contact area of the headrest, it can better adapt to the two states of sitting upright or lying down respectively.

[0015] When a middle pillow is provided between the upper pillow and the lower pillow, the upper pillow is rotatably installed above the middle pillow, and the middle pillow is rotatably installed above the lower pillow. When in use, by relatively rotating the upper pillow and the middle pillow, more support curves can be provided to better meet different usage requirements. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1-5 shown.

[0028] This embodiment provides a chair headrest structure, including a headrest bracket 1 directly or indirectly installed on the backrest, and a headrest installed on the headrest bracket; the headrest includes a lower pillow 3 installed on the headrest bracket, and an upper pillow 2 rotatably installed at the upper end of the lower pillow.

[0029] For the described chair headrest structure, the headrest bracket is installed on the backrest of the chair. Specifically, it can be fixedly installed, or movably installed on the top of the backrest through a lifting device such as an adjustment rod. The headrest is divided into an upper pillow and a lower pillow. By adjusting the positions of the upper pillow and the lower pillow, the curvature of the headrest can be changed, or the contact area between the headrest and the user's head and neck can be changed, forming more supporting states.

[0030] For the described chair headrest structure, the lower pillow 3 is rotatably installed on the headrest bracket 1, and the upper pillow 2 is installed on the lower pillow 3 through an adjustment assembly that can drive its rotation to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the upper pillow. The described adjustment assembly includes two connecting seats 6 oppositely arranged on the lower pillow 3. One of the connecting seats is provided with a through hole, and a plurality of protruding and spaced tooth grooves 5 are arranged along the circumferential direction in the through hole. A groove is opened at the position opposite to the through hole on the other connecting seat, and a threaded hole 7 is provided in the groove. The rotating shaft 4 is movably arranged in the through hole, and the end portion can extend into the groove. A convex tooth 41 that cooperates with the tooth groove is arranged on the rotating shaft. The end portion of the upper pillow 2 is arranged between the two connecting seats and is connected to the convex tooth of the rotating shaft through the tooth groove. An axial hole is opened along the axis of the rotating shaft 4, and a compression spring 8 is arranged in the axial hole. The end portion of the fixing screw 9 passes through the compression spring and is screwed into the threaded hole. The rotating shaft can move along the through hole and drive the convex tooth of the rotating shaft to disengage from the tooth groove of the connecting seat, thereby releasing the locking of the upper pillow. The upper pillow can be adjusted to the required angle. After the adjustment is in place, the rotating shaft moves in the reverse direction to drive the convex tooth to re-insert into the tooth grooves of the upper and lower pillows for fixation. The end portion of the rotating shaft 4 protrudes from the through hole of the connecting seat 6 to facilitate pressing the rotating shaft. A button 10 with an end portion protruding from the through hole of the connecting seat 6 can also be connected to the rotating shaft 4. The button drives the rotating shaft to move and makes the convex tooth 41 of the rotating shaft move into the upper pillow 2 and disengage from the tooth groove 5 of the connecting seat, so that the upper pillow is disengaged from the lower pillow and the angle can be adjusted. At this time, the compression spring is compressed. After the upper pillow is adjusted in place, the button is released, and the rotating shaft is reset under the elastic force of the compression spring, and the convex tooth on it is fixed to the tooth grooves of the upper and lower pillows again to complete the adjustment.

[0031] For the described chair headrest structure, there is a movable seat 20 that can move back and forth, and a front-back adjustment mechanism for driving the movable seat to move back and forth. The headrest support 1 can be directly connected to the movable seat or rotatably mounted on the movable seat to form more adjustment states. There is also a lifter 30 that is liftably mounted on the backrest of the chair. The movable seat 20 is mounted on the lifter, enabling angle adjustment to cooperate with height adjustment to further increase the adjustable forms. Of course, the lifter and the movable seat can be directly connected or rotatably connected, and the headrest support can also be directly connected or rotatably mounted on the lifter or mounted on the backrest of the chair through a fixed support. The lifter can be adjusted for lifting in the vertical direction, and the movable seat can be adjusted back and forth in the horizontal direction. The axis of the hinge end between the rotating frame and the movable seat faces both sides, enabling the headrest support and the headrest thereon to be adjusted in angle. Thus, through the setting of multiple degrees of freedom, the headrest can be conveniently adjusted to different states to meet the usage needs of different people and improve the usage comfort of the chair.

[0032] Embodiment 2, as Figure 6 shown.

[0033] This embodiment proposes a chair headrest structure, in which the lower pillow 3 is fixedly mounted on the headrest support 1 to meet the adjustment needs.

[0034] Embodiment 3, as Figures 7-9 ; Embodiment 4, as Figure 10 shown.

[0035] This embodiment provides a chair headrest structure. The headrest further includes a middle pillow 21 disposed between the upper pillow 2 and the lower pillow 3. The upper pillow is mounted on the lower pillow through the middle pillow. By relatively rotating the upper pillow and the middle pillow, it can provide more support curves, making the overall arc of the headrest smoother. It can also provide more different supporting methods for different parts. For example, the middle pillow and the upper pillow can support the human head, and the lower pillow can support the neck. Or the middle pillow can support the human neck, and the lower pillow can support the top of the human back, jointly acting with the chair backrest to form a more fitting support. The upper pillow then supports the human head, further increasing the supporting methods. The upper pillow 2 is mounted on the middle pillow 21 through an adjustment assembly that can drive its rotation to facilitate adjusting the angle of the upper pillow. The adjustment assembly includes two connecting seats 6 oppositely disposed on the middle pillow 21. One of the connecting seats is provided with a through hole and a plurality of protruding and spaced tooth grooves 5 are provided along the circumferential direction in the through hole. A groove is opened at the position opposite to the through hole on the other connecting seat, and a screw hole 7 is provided in the groove. The rotating shaft 4 is movably disposed in the through hole and its end can extend into the groove. A convex tooth 41 that cooperates with the tooth groove is provided on the rotating shaft. The end of the upper pillow 2 is disposed between the two connecting seats and is connected to the convex tooth of the rotating shaft through the tooth groove. An axial hole is opened along the axial direction on the rotating shaft 4, and a compression spring 8 is provided in the axial hole. The end of the fixing screw 9 passes through the compression spring and is screwed into the screw hole. The rotating shaft can move along the through hole and drive the convex tooth of the rotating shaft to disengage from the tooth groove of the connecting seat, thereby releasing the locking of the upper pillow. Similarly, a button 10 with an end protruding outside the through hole of the connecting seat 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 4. The button drives the rotating shaft to move and makes the convex tooth 41 of the rotating shaft move into the upper pillow 2 and disengage from the tooth groove 5 of the connecting seat.

[0036] In the described chair headrest structure, one, two, three or more middle pillows can be provided between the upper pillow and the lower pillow, so as to form a larger range of adjustment and support and meet the usage needs of more people. The middle pillow can be directly hinged to the lower pillow, or can be connected to the lower pillow through an adjustment assembly. Similarly, adjacent middle pillows can also be directly hinged end to end or connected through an adjustment assembly. When adjusting the headrest, the upper pillow, multiple middle pillows, and lower pillow can be arranged in sequence along an arc, thus forming a larger structure similar to a traditional single headrest. When the middle or upper pillow is not needed, all or part of the middle pillows and the headrest can be folded or partially folded and stored behind the lower pillow in sequence, thus forming a smaller single headrest structure, which can also effectively save space, as shown in Figure 10.

[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
