Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of daily necessities, and in particular to a combination pillow. Background Art
[0002] Pillows play an important role in people's sleep. A suitable pillow can help people sleep more soundly, but long-term use of an unsuitable pillow will cause a series of chronic strains and even develop into cervical spondylosis.
[0003] The overall softness and hardness of the various pillows currently on the market are consistent. When the pillow is soft, the support is insufficient when lying on the side and cannot effectively support the neck, which may cause the cervical spine to be suspended in the air for a long time and not get enough rest; when the pillow is hard, the pressure at the contact point between the head and the pillow increases when lying down, making it impossible for the cervical spine to get enough rest and relaxation during sleep. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a combined pillow.
[0005] The utility model discloses a combination pillow, comprising: a first pillow module and a second pillow module, the first pillow module comprising a head support portion and a neck support portion, the head support portion being connected to the neck support portion, the head support portion being provided with a first side surface, the neck support portion being provided with two second side surfaces, the first side surface being connected between the two second side surfaces, and the neck support portion gradually lowering in height in a direction away from the head support portion to form an inclined wall; the second pillow module is provided with an inner groove, the inner groove having an inner wall, the inner groove being fitted with the head support portion and the neck support portion, and the inner wall being fitted with the first side surface and the two second side surfaces; the hardness of the first pillow module is smaller than that of the second pillow module.
[0006] Preferably, a groove is formed in the middle of the head support portion.
[0007] Preferably, the neck supporting portion is provided with a shoulder and neck supporting area, and the shoulder and neck supporting area is located at one end of the inclined wall away from the head supporting portion.
[0008] Preferably, the first pillow module further includes a bottom, the head support portion and the neck support portion are both located on the bottom, and the shoulder and neck support area is connected to a side edge of the bottom.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the bottom, and the second pillow module is embedded in the limiting groove.
[0010] Preferably, the second pillow module also includes a curved surface, a slanted surface and a bottom surface, the curved surface is connected to the slanted surface, the curved surface is located at one end of the second pillow module close to the neck support portion, and the slanted surface gradually decreases in height in the direction away from the neck support portion, and the bottom surface is connected to the curved surface and the slanted surface; one end of the inner wall is connected to the bottom surface, and the other end of the inner wall is connected to the side of the curved surface and the slanted surface away from the bottom surface.
[0011] Preferably, the second pillow module, the head support portion and the neck support portion are spliced into a heart shape.
[0012] Preferably, the height d of the groove is in the range of 7-8 cm.
[0013] Preferably, the height D of the highest point of the neck support portion is about 10-11 cm.
[0014] Preferably, the width C of the shoulder and neck support area is in the range of 15-20 cm.
[0015] The present invention offers the following advantages, compared to the prior art: Because the first pillow module is less rigid than the second, the first and second pillow modules can be integrated. When a person sleeps on their back, the back of the head rests on the head support, and the neck rests on the neck support. Because the first pillow module is slightly softer, it effectively disperses pressure on the head, reducing the formation of localized pressure points and providing greater comfort. Furthermore, when the person turns over and sleeps on their side, the second pillow module, being slightly firmer, provides sufficient support, preventing the neck from hyperextension, which could negatively impact the cervical spine's curvature. This simple design allows the combination of first and second pillow modules of varying hardness to meet the desired softness or firmness for both back and side sleeping.

[0029] See also Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional diagram of a combination pillow in an embodiment. This embodiment discloses a combination pillow, including a first pillow module 1 and a second pillow module 2. The first pillow module 1 and the second pillow module 2 are combined to form a whole, and the hardness of the first pillow module 1 is smaller than that of the second pillow module 2.
[0030] See also Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2An exploded view of the combined pillow in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the first pillow module 1 includes a head support portion 11 and a neck support portion 12. The head support portion 11 has a first side surface 111, and the neck support portion 12 has two second side surfaces 121 and a slanted wall 122. The head support portion 11 and the neck support portion 12 are connected, and the first side surface 111 and the two second side surfaces 121 are also integrally connected. The slanted wall 122 is formed by the neck support portion 12 gradually decreasing in height as it moves away from the head support portion 11.
[0031] The second pillow module 2 is formed with an inner groove 21, and the inner groove 21 has an inner wall 22. The inner groove 21 is embedded with the head support part 11 and the neck support part 12, that is, the whole connected to the head support part 11 and the neck support part 12 can be embedded in the inner groove 21, and the inner wall 22 is in contact with the first side surface 111 and the two second side surfaces 121, that is, the first pillow module 1 and the second pillow module 2 are combined to form a whole.
[0032] In actual use, the first pillow module 1 and the second pillow module 2 are combined to form a single unit, and the first pillow module 1 is less rigid than the second pillow module 2. When a person sleeps on their back, their head rests on the head support 11, with the back of their head resting on the head support 11 and their neck supported by the neck support 12. The first pillow module 1 is softer, effectively dispersing pressure on the head when lying on their back, reducing the formation of localized pressure points and making them feel more comfortable. When turning over from a supine to a side-lying position, the second pillow module 2 is slightly firmer, providing sufficient support and preventing hyperextension of the neck, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. This design is simple, and the combination of the first and second pillow modules 1 and 2 of different hardness can meet the softness and hardness requirements of people when lying on their back or side.
[0033] Specifically, buttons are provided on the first side surface 111 and the two second side surfaces 121, and corresponding openings are provided on the inner wall 22 of the second pillow module 2, to which the buttons can be connected and fixed. The first pillow module 1 and the second pillow module 2 can also be combined and spliced into one piece by means of a snap fastener or a bandage connection. They can also be combined and connected together by providing button knots or loops on the first side surface 111, the two second side surfaces 121, and the inner wall 22 of the second pillow module 2. The first pillow module 1 and the second pillow module 2 are removable for easy cleaning. When the degree of dirtiness is different, the first pillow module 1 and the second pillow module 2 can be disassembled and separated to perform different cleaning modes for each.
[0034] Specifically, the first pillow module 1 can be made of soft and elastic materials such as memory foam and down, and the second pillow module 2 can be made of materials with higher hardness such as high-density latex and ordinary sponge.
[0035] Further, review Figure 2 and see Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a combination pillow in an embodiment. In this embodiment, the head support portion 11 is recessed to form a groove 112 that is low in the middle and high around the edges. In this example, the head support portion 11 is a cylinder, and the upper surface is recessed to form the groove 112 that is low in the middle and high around the edges. Specifically, the height d of the groove 112 ranges from 7 to 8 centimeters. The provision of the groove 112 allows the head to be better wrapped by the groove 112 when the person lies on their back, effectively dispersing pressure on the head and providing a more comfortable sleep. In another preferred embodiment, both the first side surface 111 and the second side surface 121 are curved surfaces.
[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the height D of the connection between the head support 11 and the neck support 12 is approximately 10-11 cm. That is, the highest point of the neck support 12 is approximately 10-11 cm, and then gradually decreases to a horizontal plane along the inclined wall 122. This range effectively maintains the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine, preventing excessive flexion or backward movement, thereby reducing stress and strain on the cervical spine.
[0037] Further, see Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the first pillow module in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the neck support portion 12 has a shoulder and neck support area 123, and the shoulder and neck support area 123 is located at the end of the inclined wall 122 away from the head support portion 11. Specifically, the width C of the shoulder and neck support area 123 is 15-20 cm. In this example, the provision of the shoulder and neck support area 123 provides support for the neck and shoulders when lying on one's back, relaxes the muscles of the neck, shoulders and other parts, improves sleeping posture, and enhances sleep quality. The shoulder and neck support area 123 is selected to have a width range of 15-20 cm. When people turn over from lying on their backs to lying on their side, the shoulder and neck support area 123 will not get stuck on the shoulders and cause discomfort, making the movement of turning over from lying on one's back to lying on one's side smoother and more comfortable.
[0038] Further, review Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first pillow module 1 further includes a bottom 13 , the head support portion 11 and the neck support portion 12 are both located on the bottom 13 , and the shoulder and neck support area 123 is connected to one side edge of the bottom 13 .
[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a limiting groove 131 is provided on the bottom 13. The limiting groove 131 is used to accommodate the second pillow module 2, and the second pillow module 2 is embedded in the limiting groove 131. In this example, the second pillow module 2 is placed in the limiting groove 131 and then assembled with the first pillow module 1. The setting of the limiting groove 131 prevents the second pillow module 2 from moving relative to the first pillow module 1, thereby acting as a limiter, making the first pillow module 1 and the second pillow module 2 assembled into a more stable whole. During use, the first pillow module 1 and the second pillow module 2 are not easily separated.
[0040] Further, see Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the second pillow module in the embodiment. Figure 7 This is another exploded view of the combination pillow in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the second pillow module 2 further includes a curved surface 23, an inclined surface 24, and a bottom surface 25. The curved surface 23 is connected to the inclined surface 24. The curved surface 23 is located at the end of the second pillow module 2 closest to the neck support portion 12, and the inclined surface 24 gradually decreases in height as it moves away from the neck support portion 12. That is, the connection between the curved surface 23 and the inclined surface 24 is the highest point of the second pillow module 2. The bottom surface 25 is further connected to the curved surface 23 and the inclined surface 24. That is, the curved surface 23 and the inclined surface 24 are first connected as a whole and then connected to the bottom surface 25. One end of the inner wall 22 is connected to the bottom surface 25, and the other end of the inner wall 22 is connected to the side of the curved surface 23 and the inclined surface 24 away from the bottom surface 25.
[0041] Specifically, review Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is another three-dimensional view of the combination pillow in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the second pillow module 2, the head support portion 11, and the neck support portion 12 are spliced together to form a heart shape. When a person sleeps on their stomach, because the first pillow module 1 is softer, that is, the head support portion 11 is softer, the face is more comfortable placed in the head support portion 11. When sleeping on their stomach, the arms naturally bend forward and extend. Because the second pillow module 2, the head support portion 11, and the neck support portion 12 are spliced together to form a heart shape, the person's arms are in a comfortable posture when hugging each other, and the arms will not be uncomfortable due to insufficient blood supply caused by the height of the arms hanging on the second pillow module 2. The inclined surface 24 gradually decreases in height as it moves away from the neck support portion 12, which also makes it easier for the arms to form a comfortable hugging posture when naturally bending forward when sleeping on their stomach.
[0042] In actual use, when a person lies on their back, their head rests on the head support portion 11, with the back of their head resting in the groove 112. The groove 112 also encases the back of their head. Furthermore, the softness of the first pillow module 1, namely the softness of the head support portion 11, effectively distributes pressure on the head, making sleep more comfortable. The neck rests on the slanted wall 122 of the neck support portion 12, thereby being supported by the neck support portion 12. This effectively maintains the natural curvature of the cervical spine, preventing excessive flexion or backward tilt, thereby reducing stress and strain on the cervical spine. The shoulder and neck are positioned in the shoulder and neck support area 123, providing support when lying on your back and relaxing the muscles in the neck and shoulders. The shoulder and neck support area 123 is designed to be 15-20 cm wide. This prevents the shoulder and neck support area 123 from digging into the shoulders and causing discomfort when rolling from a supine to a side-lying position, making the transition from a supine to a side-lying position smoother and more comfortable. When the sleeping position changes from lying on your back to lying on your side, the second pillow module is slightly harder and can provide sufficient support, making it less likely for the neck to be hyperextended, which would have an adverse effect on the physiological curvature of the cervical spine.
[0043] When a person sleeps on their stomach, the first pillow module 1 is softer, i.e., the head support portion 11 is softer, so the face rests comfortably on the head support portion 11. When sleeping on their stomach, the arms naturally bend and extend forward. Since the second pillow module 2, the head support portion 11, and the neck support portion 12 are spliced into a heart shape, the arms are placed in a comfortable hugging position. The arms do not suffer from the discomfort of insufficient blood supply caused by the height of the arms hanging on the second pillow module 2. Furthermore, the inclined surface 24 gradually decreases in height as it moves away from the neck support portion 12, making it easier for the arms to naturally bend and extend forward when sleeping on their stomach. This design is simple in structure. The combination of the first pillow module 1 and the second pillow module 2 of different hardness can adapt to various sleeping postures, that is, it meets the softness and hardness requirements of people in different sleeping postures. Furthermore, the combination is easy to disassemble and can be easily cleaned locally.
