These drawings and detailed description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to explain the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] Example embodiments now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments, however, can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the several views of the drawings, and the repeated description is omitted.

[0039] Moreover, described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the application. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the application can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, and so forth. In other instances, well-known structures, devices, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the application.

[0040] The embodiments of the present application provide a folding pillow, which has a use posture and a folding posture. The folding pillow is used to support the head and neck of a user in the use posture, and has a small volume in the folding posture, so as to be convenient for the user to carry. The folding pillow can be applied to travel and camping environments.

[0041] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the folding pillow provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a support part, a connecting part and a headrest part. One end of the connecting part is rotatably connected to the support part through a first rotating shaft, and the other end is rotatably connected to the headrest part through a second rotating shaft. The headrest part can move relative to the support part through the connecting part. The folding pillow is deformed into a use posture or a folding posture through the movement of the headrest part and the connecting part.

[0042] The support part is used to be placed in a use position and serves as a support for the connecting part and the headrest part. The material of the support part can be metal or non-metal, such as alloy, plastic or wood. The shape of the support part can be arbitrary, for example, the support part is a rectangular flat plate structure used horizontally. Of course, any shape of the support part can be applied to the folding pillow of the present application.

[0043] The support part has oppositely arranged first and second support surfaces. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the folding pillow is in the use posture, the upper and lower surfaces of the support part are the first and second support surfaces respectively. The second support surface is used to be stably placed in the use position, and the headrest part is supported above the first support surface through the connecting part.

[0044] The headrest part has oppositely arranged contact and folding surfaces. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the folding pillow is in the use posture, the upper and lower surfaces of the headrest part are the contact and folding surfaces respectively. At this time, the folding surface faces downward toward the direction of the first support surface of the support part. The contact surface is arranged upward to contact the head and neck part of the user, serving the purpose of supporting the head and neck part of the user. Similarly, any material and shape of the headrest part can be applied to the folding pillow of the present application.

[0045] In some embodiments, the contact surface is an arc surface that is recessed toward the support part when the headrest part is in the use posture. That is, in the use posture as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The contact surface of the headrest part is an arc surface with a middle part recessed downward. On the one hand, it can be adapted to the physiological curve of the head and neck part of the user, and on the other hand, the head and neck part of the user contacts the most recessed part of the contact surface, and the higher parts on both sides of the contact surface can be wrapped around the head and neck part of the user, making the user more comfortable.

[0046] In the exemplary embodiments of the present application, the headrest part is an arc-shaped plate as a whole, so that one side of the headrest part forms a recessed arc contact surface. In addition, the headrest part can also be a flat plate with a recessed arc surface arranged on one side.

[0047] The connecting part is in the shape of a long rod, and its cross-sectional shape can be circular, elliptical, rectangular, or polygonal. Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting part can be the same or different at different locations; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. In the usage posture, the connecting part is inclined between the support part and the headrest part to support the headrest part in a higher position.

[0048] Combined Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the folding pillow is in Figure 1 When in the indicated usage position, the connecting part and the headrest part should be aligned along... Figure 4 Flip it to the other side of the support in the direction indicated by the middle arrow, forming Figure 5 The connecting part is placed horizontally on one side of the second support surface of the supporting part. Then, the headrest is flipped towards the connecting part so that the contact surface of the headrest abuts against the connecting part, ultimately forming... Figure 6 The folded pillow shown is in its folded state, with the connecting part positioned horizontally between the headrest and the support part, and the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting part tightly abutting against the headrest and the support part, respectively.

[0049] Understandably, when the folding pillow is in its use position, the contact surface is the surface facing upwards, the second support surface is the surface facing downwards, and the connecting part is inclined between the headrest and the support part. In this case, there is a relatively large usable gap between the contact surface and the second support surface. This usable gap can be 120-150mm to support the user's head and neck at a comfortable height. When the folding pillow is in its folded position, the folding surface is the surface facing upwards, the first support surface is the surface facing downwards, and the connecting part is placed horizontally between the headrest and the support part. In this case, there is a smaller folding gap between the folding surface and the first support surface. While ensuring sufficient thickness of each component to maintain its structural strength, the folding gap is 40-50mm, approximately one-third of the usable gap, thus greatly reducing the size of the folding pillow and improving its portability.

[0050] Furthermore, compared to existing technologies, the folding pillow in this application has fewer structural components, lower production costs, and a more stable structure that is less prone to damage, resulting in a better user experience.

[0051] In some embodiments, the connecting portion includes a first connecting segment, a second connecting segment, and a third connecting segment, wherein the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment are respectively connected to the two ends of the third connecting segment.

[0052] It is understandable that the first connecting segment, the second connecting segment, and the third connecting segment can be an integral structure, or they can be manufactured separately and then connected by welding, bonding, or fasteners to form the connecting part.

[0053] The support portion is provided with a first mounting slot, and the first connecting segment is rotationally connected to the first mounting slot through a first rotating shaft. In the exemplary embodiments of the present application, the first mounting slot is provided on one end of the support portion in the extending direction of the support portion and penetrates the support portion from top to bottom. The first mounting slot has two opposite vertical inner side walls and a first positioning surface located on the inner side of the first mounting slot. The portion of the first connecting segment away from the third connecting segment is embedded in the first mounting slot to limit the installation position of the first connecting segment.

[0054] The first connecting segment is further provided with a first mounting hole penetratingly arranged, and the support portion is provided with a first connecting hole penetratingly arranged. The first connecting hole is in communication with the first mounting slot. The end of the second connecting segment away from the first connecting segment is provided with a first mounting hole. When the second connecting segment is embedded in the first mounting slot, the axis of the first connecting hole coincides with the axis of the first mounting hole. Different portions of the first rotating shaft are respectively arranged in the first connecting hole and the first mounting hole to realize the rotational connection between the first connecting portion and the support portion.

[0055] It can be understood that the first rotating shaft can be fixed with one of the support portion or the first connecting segment and rotationally matched with the other one to avoid the first rotating shaft from being pulled out in use. For example, the first rotating shaft is fixed with the first connecting hole in interference fit and rotationally matched with the first mounting hole in clearance fit; or the first rotating shaft is rotationally matched with the first connecting hole in clearance fit and fixed with the first mounting hole in interference fit.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first connecting segment has two oppositely arranged first limiting surfaces corresponding to the two inner side walls of the first mounting slot perpendicular to the first rotating shaft. It can be understood that the distance between the two vertical inner side walls of the first mounting slot should be slightly greater than the width of the first connecting segment between the two first limiting surfaces, for example, the difference between the widths of the two is 1-3 mm, which can not only limit the axial shaking of the first connecting segment in the first mounting slot, but also ensure the smooth rotation of the first connecting segment.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first connecting segment is arc-shaped.

[0058] As shown in Figure 2 the arc-shaped outer side of the first connecting segment abuts against the first positioning surface when in the use posture. The first positioning surface is the inner side wall of the first mounting slot in the extending direction of the support portion. In the use posture, the first connecting segment abuts against the first positioning surface to tilt the connecting portion to the upper side of the support portion, so that the headrest portion is kept above the support portion without further deflecting downward under pressure.

[0059] It can be understood that the shape of the first positioning surface can be the same as the shape of the back surface of the first connecting section. In the embodiment, the back of the first connecting section is curved, and the first positioning surface can be a curved surface with the same shape as the curved outer surface of the first connecting section, so that the curved outer surface of the first connecting section is completely fitted with the first positioning surface, thereby improving the supporting and positioning effect on the connecting part. In addition, when the back surface of the first connecting section is curved, the first supporting surface can also be a plane inclinedly arranged.

[0060] As shown in Figure 7 When the first connecting section is in a folded posture, the curved inner side of the first connecting section is fitted at the first positioning surface, and the curved outer side of the first connecting section abuts against the contact surface of the headrest part. When the connecting part is turned to the side of the second supporting surface of the supporting part, due to the curved structure of the first connecting section, the end position of the first connecting section can be fitted on the first positioning surface, so that the entire connecting section can be placed horizontally on the second supporting surface of the supporting part.

[0061] The headrest part is provided with a second mounting slot, and the second connecting section is rotatably connected to the second mounting slot through a second rotating shaft.

[0062] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the second mounting slot is located at one end of the headrest part and extends through the headrest part from top to bottom. The second mounting slot has two opposite vertical inner side walls and a second positioning surface located inside the second mounting slot. The part of the second connecting section away from the third connecting section is embedded in the second mounting slot to limit the installation position of the second connecting section.

[0063] The second connecting section is further provided with a second mounting hole arranged therethrough, and the headrest part is provided with a second connecting hole penetrating therethrough, the second connecting hole being in communication with the second mounting slot. The end of the second connecting section away from the third connecting section is provided with a second mounting hole, and when the second connecting section is embedded in the second mounting slot, the axis of the second connecting hole coincides with the axis of the second mounting hole, and different parts of the second rotating shaft are respectively arranged in the second connecting hole and the second mounting hole to realize the rotating connection between the second connecting part and the supporting part.

[0064] It can be understood that the second rotating shaft can be fixed with one of the supporting part or the second connecting section and rotatably matched with the other two, so as to avoid the second rotating shaft from being pulled out in use. For example, the second rotating shaft is fixed with the second connecting hole by interference fit and rotatably connected with the second mounting hole by clearance fit; or the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected with the second connecting hole by clearance fit and fixed with the second mounting hole by interference fit.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second connecting segment has two opposing second limiting surfaces, which correspond to the two inner sidewalls of the second mounting groove perpendicular to the second rotating shaft. It is understood that the distance between the two vertical inner sidewalls of the second mounting groove should be slightly greater than the width of the second connecting segment between the two second limiting surfaces, for example, the difference in width is 1–3 mm. This not only limits the axial sway of the second connecting segment within the second mounting groove but also ensures smooth rotation of the second connecting segment.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second connecting segment is also arc-shaped.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, in the usage posture, the outer arc of the second connecting section abuts against the second positioning surface. The second positioning surface is the inner wall of the second mounting groove along the extension direction of the support portion. In the usage posture, the second connecting section abuts against the second positioning surface to tilt and support the headrest on the upper side of the connecting portion, preventing further downward deflection when the headrest is under pressure.

[0068] It is understood that the shape of the second positioning surface can be the same as the shape of the back surface of the second connecting segment. In this embodiment, the back shape of the second connecting segment is curved, and the second positioning surface can be a curved surface with the same shape as the outer surface of the arc of the second connecting segment, so that the outer surface of the arc of the second connecting segment completely fits the second positioning surface, improving the support and positioning effect of the connecting part. In addition, when the back shape of the second connecting segment is curved, the second support surface can also be an inclined plane.

[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, when in the folded position, the inner arc of the second connecting segment engages with the second positioning surface, allowing the contact surface of the headrest to be flipped towards the connecting portion. Furthermore, due to the arc-shaped structures of the first and second connecting segments, the contact surface of the headrest abuts against the outer arc of the first connecting segment, while the outer arc of the second connecting segment abuts against the second support surface of the support portion. This allows for the positioning of the folding direction of the connecting portion and the headrest, resulting in a smaller folding pillow in the folded state.

[0070] It is understandable that the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment bend towards different sides of the third connecting segment relative to the third connecting segment.

[0071] In summary, the folding pillow provided in this application embodiment achieves deformation between the use posture and the folded posture through the flipping action of the headrest part and the connecting part relative to the support part, which is convenient for users to carry and use. Moreover, the overall structure is simple and stable, the production cost is low, and the user experience is better.

[0072] The above has carried out the detailed introduction to the embodiment of the application, the principle and implementation mode of the application have been described by applying specific examples in this paper, the above embodiment description is only used for helping understanding the method of the application and its core idea. At the same time, the changes or deformations made by the person skilled in the art on the basis of the specific implementation mode and the application range of the application according to the idea of the application all belong to the protection scope of the application. In summary, the content of the specification should not be understood as the limitation of the application.
