Due to the various loads, strains, and even trauma it bears, it is susceptible to degeneration. As human lifestyles and work styles change, the prevalence of cervical spondylosis is increasing, becoming a significant factor affecting and disrupting human life and work. Therefore, in today's fast-paced lives, more and more people are turning to neck massagers to relieve cervical fatigue and relax their muscles.

[0003] Most existing neck massage products are mechanical. For example, Chinese utility model patent application number CN202321311931.4 discloses a massage pillow with a massage head that can be raised and lowered. The massage assembly includes a massage head that is pivotally mounted on a movable frame and moves up and down with the frame, and a second drive assembly that is mounted on the movable frame and drives the massage head to rotate back and forth. These mechanical neck massage products offer strong massage force and can easily cause damage to muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, especially those that use aggressive kneading.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a neck pillow, which sets the neck pillow corresponding to the length of the neck as the longitudinal direction and the direction perpendicular to the length of the neck as the transverse direction. The neck pillow includes: a pillowcase 1, a pillow core 2, an airbag assembly 3 and an inflation and deflation assembly 4. The airbag assembly 3 is superimposed on the upper surface of the pillow core 2, and the two are installed together in the pillowcase 1. The airbag assembly 3 includes a plurality of airbags 31 arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction of the pillow core 2. One side of the airbag is fixed to the pillow core 2 or the connecting member 32, and the other side is superimposed on the next airbag 31. The inflation and deflation assembly 4 is respectively connected to each airbag 31, and is used to inflate or deflate each airbag 31 simultaneously or separately.

[0029] Massaging the neck by inflating and deflating the airbags 31 is gentler and more comfortable than mechanical massage, and does not damage the muscles. At the same time, the arrangement design of each airbag 31 allows the airbag 31 to flip around its fixed side relative to the pillow core 2 during inflation, generating an oblique upward thrust, bringing a certain pushing and stroking massage effect. Furthermore, by coordinating the inflation and deflation components 4 to inflate or deflate each airbag 31 in an orderly manner, a variety of massage effects can be produced. For example, inflating and deflating each airbag 31 simultaneously can stretch the neck; inflating each airbag 31 in sequence along a certain direction can produce a flat push massage effect; and when the next airbag 31 is inflated, the previous airbag 31 is deflated, which can produce a rolling massage effect. Multiple massage effects can enhance the user experience, increase the soothing effect, relieve neck fatigue, and relax muscles.

[0030] In some possible options of this embodiment, the airbag 31 includes an airbag body 311 and a connecting portion 312, wherein the connecting portion 312 is connected to one side of the airbag body 311. The airbag 311 is directly fixed to the pillow core 2 via the connecting portion 312, or the connecting portions 312 of each airbag 31 are connected via a connector 32 and then directly stacked on the pillow core 2.

[0031] In a feasible option of this embodiment, the airbag body 311 includes: a first sheet 311a, a second sheet 311b and an inflation and deflation interface 311c. The edges of the first sheet 311a and the second sheet 311b are sealed to form an air cavity. The first sheet 311a is equipped with an inflation and deflation interface 311c connected to the air cavity.

[0032] In order to achieve a relatively ideal massage effect, the overlapping width a of two adjacent airbags 31 is preferably 1 / 4 of the width b of the airbag 31. ~ .

[0033] The upper surface of the pillow core 2 of this embodiment is designed based on ergonomics. It is curved, with a concave center and concave sides, to support the neck and enhance comfort and massage effectiveness. The airbag assembly 3 of this embodiment at least covers the area of ​​the neck pillow that supports the neck.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inflation and deflation assembly 4 is built into the pillow core 2, but can also be externally mounted. It includes a housing 41, a main control board 42, an air pump 43, a buffer connector 44, a battery 45, several solenoid valves 46, and several air pipes (not shown). The air pump 43, buffer connector 44, battery 45, and several solenoid valves 46 are all mounted within the housing 41. The buffer connector 44 is connected to the air pump 43 and the several solenoid valves 46, respectively. The several solenoid valves 46 correspond to the several airbags 31 and are connected via air pipes. The main control board 42 is electrically connected to the air pump 43, battery 45, and several solenoid valves 46. In this embodiment, the solenoid valves 46 are preferably three-way solenoid valves.

[0035] The air pump 43 and each solenoid valve 46 in this embodiment are connected via a buffer joint 44. This buffer joint 44 not only diverts airflow but also slows down the airflow, reducing airflow noise and, consequently, the operating noise of the neck pillow. Specifically, the buffer joint 44 in this embodiment comprises a buffer chamber 441, an air inlet 442 communicating with the buffer chamber 441, and several air outlets 443 communicating with the buffer chamber 441. The air inlet 442 communicates with the air pump 43, and the air outlets 443 correspond to and communicate with the respective solenoid valves 46.

[0036] To facilitate operation of the neck pillow and reduce production costs, this embodiment also includes a control panel 5 and a cover 6. The control panel 5 is embedded in the side of the pillow core 2 and electrically connected to the inflation and deflation assembly 4. The cover 6 is aligned with the control panel 5 and attached to the pillowcase 1. To facilitate quick and accurate alignment of the cover 6 with the control panel 5 during assembly and disassembly of the pillowcase 1 and prevent displacement during use, the cover 6 in this embodiment is removably attached to the control panel 5 using Velcro.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] This embodiment adds a heating sheet and an annular elastic cloth on the basis of the first embodiment. The heating sheet is stacked on the airbag assembly 3 and is used to apply heat to the neck to promote blood circulation, relax muscles and relieve fatigue.

[0039] In order to facilitate the positioning, assembly and disassembly of various components, in this embodiment, the pillow core 2, the airbag assembly 3 and the heating plate are fixed together by an annular elastic fabric.

[0040] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
