From the perspective of modern medical research, the human spine is a straight line when viewed from the front, but it has four physiological curves when viewed from the side. In order to protect the normal physiological curvature of the neck and maintain normal physiological activities during sleep, a pillow must be used when sleeping.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN206933890U discloses a latex neck support pillow, which includes a first neck support, a second neck support, and a head support located between the first and second neck supports. The first, second, and head supports are integrally formed, and the bottom surfaces of the first, second, and head supports are on the same plane. The top surface of the first and second neck supports is higher than the top surface of the head support, and the top surface of the second neck support is also higher than the top surface of the head support. The maximum height of the top surface of the first neck support is less than the maximum height of the top surface of the second neck support. However, in actual use, the following shortcomings still exist: From a practical point of view, the existing neck support pillows have relatively simple functions, and when lying on one's side, they are prone to causing lateral flexion of the cervical spine.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-purpose neck support pillow for both supine and side-lying positions. Its basic structure is designed as follows: a base layer 1, with a sponge layer 2 fixedly installed at the top of the base layer 1. The sponge layer 2 enhances user comfort and improves the effectiveness of the neck support pillow. An inflatable layer 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base layer 1. The inflatable layer 3 facilitates height adjustment, improving the practicality and further enhancing the performance. A placement groove 6 is provided on one side of the base layer 1, and a threaded groove 7 is provided on the side of the base layer 1 within the placement groove 6. The device is equipped with a placement cylinder 8, and a cylinder cover 9 is threaded onto one side of the placement cylinder 8. A vent hole 10 is opened on one side of the cylinder cover 9, which communicates with the placement cylinder 8. An external thread is opened on the outer surface of the cylinder cover 9, and the cylinder cover 9 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 7. With the cylinder cover 9, the required Chinese medicine can be added into the placement cylinder 8 by opening the cylinder cover 9 during use. A head groove 4 is opened at the top of the sponge layer 2, which is designed to facilitate the user's head placement. A neck groove 5 is opened on the side of the head groove 4 in the sponge layer 2, which is designed to facilitate the user's neck placement.
[0022] In the solution of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that a protrusion 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the cylinder cover 9. The protrusion 11 facilitates the rotation of the cylinder cover 9, allowing it to be removed from the threaded groove 7. A cover plate 15 is rotatably installed on one side of the cylinder cover 9. A sealing ring is provided on one side of the cover plate 10. When the Chinese medicine is not in use, the sealing ring is fitted to the cylinder cover 9 by flipping the cover plate 10, thus sealing the vent hole 10.
[0023] This solution includes the following work process:
[0024] Before using the neck pillow, the user takes out the placement tube 8, puts the desired Chinese medicine into the placement tube 8, and then installs the placement tube 8 into the base layer 1 through the tube cover 9 and the threaded groove 7. The aroma of the Chinese medicine is released through the ventilation hole 10, which helps with sleep. When it is necessary to change the Chinese medicine in the placement tube 8, the user can use the protrusion 11 to easily rotate the tube cover 9 and remove the tube cover 9 from the threaded groove 7. The neck groove 5 makes it easy for the user to place the neck when lying on their back or side, which provides a certain degree of protection for the user's neck.
[0025] When lying on your back: The height of the pillow should be the same as the height of your fist to maintain the natural curvature of the cervical spine. The height can be adjusted to 6-12cm through the air layer 3.
[0026] When lying on your side: The height of the pillow should be slightly higher than the width of your shoulder on one side to keep the cervical and lumbar spine in a straight line. The height can be adjusted to 7-15cm using the air layer 3.
[0027] The heights for supine and lateral positions are different. If you need to turn over, you can adjust the height through the air layer 3.
[0028] Based on the above work process, it can be concluded that:
[0029] With its structure including a placement slot 6, threaded groove 7, placement tube 8, tube cover 9, and ventilation holes 10, the neck pillow allows users to remove the placement tube 8 before use and place their desired Chinese herbal medicines, such as lavender, chamomile, and Cnidium monnieri, inside. The aroma of these herbs can be transmitted to the brain through the olfactory system, thereby regulating sleep rhythms and helping people fall asleep. Simultaneously, some herbal aromas can relieve physical pain and discomfort; some Chinese herbal ingredients have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and soothing effects, such as peppermint, mugwort, and ginger. The aroma of these herbs can alleviate physical discomfort, thereby improving sleep quality. Furthermore, herbal aromas can relieve psychological stress and anxiety; some Chinese herbal ingredients have anti-anxiety, calming, and tranquilizing effects, such as lily, polygala, and poria cocos. The aroma of these herbs can relieve psychological stress and anxiety, thereby improving sleep quality. The placement cylinder 8 is then installed in the base layer 1 through the cylinder cover 9 and the threaded groove 7. The aroma of traditional Chinese medicine is released through the vent hole 10, which helps with sleep. The protrusion 11 makes it easy to rotate the cylinder cover 9 and remove it from the threaded groove 7.
[0030] In the solution of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth further explaining that the sponge layer 2 has a side ear groove 12 inside the head groove 4. The side ear groove 12 is designed to protect the ears of the user when lying on their side, and to minimize the risk of the user pressing on their ears when lying on their side.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that a heating plate 13 is fixedly installed inside the neck groove 5 in the sponge layer 2. The heating plate 13 provides a heat therapy effect on the neck.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that an inflation head 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the air layer 3. By using the inflation head 14, the pillow height can be adjusted and the comfort of use can be improved by using an external air pump or air inflator.
[0033] In summary, in the above-described embodiments of this utility model, the design of the placement groove 6, threaded groove 7, placement cylinder 8, cylinder cover 9, and ventilation hole 10 allows the user to remove the placement cylinder 8 and place the required Chinese medicinal materials inside before using the neck pillow. The placement cylinder 8 is then installed in the base layer 1 via the cylinder cover 9 and threaded groove 7. The ventilation hole 10 allows the aroma of the Chinese medicinal materials to escape, promoting sleep. The protrusion 11 facilitates the rotation of the cylinder cover 9, allowing it to be removed from the threaded groove 7. The side ear groove 12 provides ear protection when lying on one's side. The heating plate 13 provides heat therapy to the neck. The inflation head 14 allows for inflation using an external air pump or inflator, adjusting the pillow height and improving comfort.
[0034] The heating plate 13 in this embodiment can be purchased from the market, and the heating plate 13 is equipped with a power supply. This is a mature technology in the field and has been fully disclosed, so it will not be repeated in the specification.
