Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pillow technology, specifically to a side-lying ear-protecting pillow. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life and increasing work pressure, more and more people are facing sleep quality problems. Sleep quality directly affects people's physical and mental health and quality of life; therefore, various products aimed at improving the sleep experience have emerged on the market. Among them, the pillow, as bedding that comes into direct contact with the head and neck during sleep, has a crucial impact on sleep quality due to its design.

[0003] Among existing pillow technologies, common pillow types include:

[0004] Traditional pillows are typically made of materials such as cotton, down, and memory foam, and their main function is to provide basic support for the head and neck. However, these pillows often lack specific designs for different sleeping positions and ergonomics, and cannot effectively relieve neck pressure or prevent cervical spine problems.

[0005] Memory foam pillows: Made of memory foam, they can adaptively adjust to the shape of the user's head and neck, providing some support and comfort. However, memory foam pillows have poor breathability, which can easily lead to stuffiness and dampness, especially in summer or humid environments.

[0006] Cervical pillows: Designed specifically for cervical health, they typically have an ergonomic shape that provides good neck support. However, the fixed shape of cervical pillows cannot adapt to the different neck curves of individuals, and they can put significant pressure on the ears when lying on one's side.

[0007] Neck pillows: Some neck pillows have added neck support in their design, but most neck pillows have a relatively simple support design, which cannot provide even support and lacks special design for ear protection.

[0008] Herbal pillows: Some pillows have built-in herbal medicine sachets that provide a calming and sleep-aiding effect through the aroma of the herbs. However, the design of the herbal medicine sachets in existing herbal pillows is relatively simple, lacking an effective aroma dissipation mechanism, and the sachets are not convenient to replace and clean.

[0009] Despite some progress in improving sleep quality, existing technologies still have the following shortcomings:

[0010] 1. Lack of comprehensive design:

[0011] Most existing pillows only focus on one aspect of function, such as support, comfort, or calming effect, lacking a comprehensive design that takes into account multiple needs. For example, while cervical pillows provide good neck support, they are insufficient in terms of ear protection and the calming effect of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0012] 2. Ear pressure problem:

[0013] When lying on your side, your ears are easily compressed by the pillow, causing discomfort or pain. Most existing neck pillows and cervical pillows are not specifically designed for this problem and cannot effectively reduce ear pressure.

[0014] 3. Uneven aroma dissipation of Chinese medicine: The design of the Chinese medicine bag in existing Chinese medicine pillows is relatively simple and lacks an effective aroma dissipation mechanism, resulting in uneven dissipation of the aroma of Chinese medicine and an inability to continuously provide a calming effect.

[0015] Therefore, a side-lying ear-protecting pillow is proposed to address the current shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide a side-lying ear-protecting pillow.

[0017] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is a side-lying ear-protecting pillow: including a pillow core and a pillowcase that is sleeved on the outside of the pillow core and cooperates with it;

[0018] The pillow core has a neck support on one side, an ear protection groove in the middle that matches the human ear, pressure relief holes at both ends that communicate with the ear protection groove, a groove for filling a Chinese medicine bag at the end away from the neck support, and a dissipation hole connected to the groove on the pillow core.

[0019] The pillowcase has a down padding layer on the inner side of the mating surface between the pillowcase and the pillow core, and the upper side of the pillowcase has holes that fit the ear protector groove.

[0020] As an improvement, the number of grooves is one and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ear protector groove.

[0021] As an improvement, the pillow core is made of silicone.

[0022] As an improvement, the neck support is arranged along the length of the pillow core, and the neck support is an upwardly convex arc-shaped structure.

[0023] As an improvement, the vent is located at the end of the ear guard groove away from the neck support.

[0024] As an improvement, the pillowcase has a connector at its bottom along its length.

[0025] As an improvement, the connector can be any one of zipper, Velcro, snap fastener, or letter sticker.

[0026] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0027] 1. The neck support features an upward-convex arc design, which conforms to ergonomic principles and effectively supports the neck, maintains the natural curve of the cervical spine, reduces neck pressure, and prevents cervical spine problems. At the same time, it is combined with a silicone pillow core, which gives the neck support good elasticity and adaptability, and can be adjusted according to the neck curve of different people to provide the best support effect.

[0028] 2. The ear-protection groove provides a dedicated support space for the ears, preventing direct pressure from the pillow when lying on your side, thus reducing ear pain and discomfort. At the same time, the pressure-relief holes, working in conjunction with the ear-protection groove, promote air circulation, helping to reduce ear dampness and overheating, further enhancing sleep comfort.

[0029] 3. The groove design allows users to fill different herbal medicine bags, while the diffuser holes ensure the even diffusion of the herbal aroma, providing a continuous calming effect, helping users fall asleep faster and improving sleep quality. This not only increases the pillow's functionality but also helps promote relaxation and improve sleep. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the utility model embodiments described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0038] In the description of the embodiments of the utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," or "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and "third" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0040] In the description of the utility model embodiments, "a plurality of" means at least two.

[0041] In the description of the embodiments of the utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] As shown in the accompanying drawings, a side-lying ear-protecting pillow includes a pillow core 1 and a pillowcase 2 that is fitted over the outside of the pillow core 1 and cooperates with it. In this embodiment, the pillow core 1 is made of silicone, which has good elasticity and support, and can adapt to different head shapes and neck curves, providing a comfortable sleep experience.

[0043] The pillow core 1 has a neck support 3 on one side. The neck support 3 is arranged along the length of the pillow core 1. The neck support 3 is an upwardly convex arc structure, which can effectively support the neck, help maintain the natural curve of the cervical spine, reduce neck pressure, and prevent cervical spine problems.

[0044] In practice, when lying on one's side, the neck support 3 can fill the gap between the head and the shoulder, preventing the neck from being suspended, thereby reducing neck pressure and discomfort. At the same time, it can evenly distribute neck pressure, avoiding discomfort or pain caused by excessive local pressure.

[0045] The pillow core 1 has an ear-protecting groove 4 in the middle that cooperates with the human ear. When lying on your side, it cooperates with the human ear to reduce pressure on the ear and provide a comfortable sleep experience.

[0046] In practice, when lying on one's side, the ear usually experiences some pressure, leading to discomfort or pain. The ear-protecting groove 4 provides a dedicated support space for the ear, preventing direct pressure from the pillow and thus reducing ear pain and discomfort, providing a more comfortable sleep experience.

[0047] The pillow core 1 has symmetrical pressure relief holes 5 at both ends that communicate with the ear protection groove 4, which helps air circulation and reduces ear moisture and discomfort.

[0048] Specifically, the pressure relief holes 5 are located at both ends of the pillow core 1 and communicate with the ear protection grooves 4, ensuring that air can circulate freely and helping to reduce ear moisture and discomfort.

[0049] Meanwhile, the pressure relief hole 5 promotes air circulation and also prevents the ear from overheating, providing a more comfortable sleeping environment.

[0050] The pillow core 1 has a groove 6 at the end away from the neck support 3, which can be filled with a Chinese medicine bag. Specifically, there are two grooves 6, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ear protection groove 4.

[0051] In practice, users can fill different herbal sachets with herbs such as lavender, cassia seeds, and chrysanthemum according to their personal preferences and needs to promote relaxation and improve sleep.

[0052] The pillow core 1 is provided with a diffuser hole 7 that communicates with the groove 6. The diffuser hole 7 is located at the end of the ear protection groove 4 away from the neck support 3, which promotes the diffusion of the aroma of Chinese medicine, ensures that the aroma can be evenly diffused around the pillow, provides a continuous calming effect, helps users fall asleep faster, and improves sleep quality.

[0053] The inner side of the mating surface between the pillowcase 2 and the upper side of the pillow core 1 is provided with a goose down padding layer 8 to increase softness and warmth.

[0054] Specifically, the goose down padding layer 8 increases the softness of the pillow, and the delicate texture of the goose down provides an ultimate comfort experience, making users feel more relaxed and comfortable while sleeping.

[0055] The goose down padding layer 8 increases softness, reducing pressure points on the head and neck and preventing discomfort or pain caused by an overly firm pillow.

[0056] At the same time, goose down is an excellent natural insulating material, and the goose down padding layer 8 can help users maintain a comfortable temperature and avoid sleep interruption caused by cold.

[0057] Furthermore, the goose down padding layer 8 has excellent breathability, effectively wicking away moisture and keeping the pillow dry, thus avoiding discomfort caused by dampness.

[0058] The pillowcase 2 has holes 9 on its upper side that are adapted to the ear protection groove 4. The holes 9 can accurately correspond to the position of the ear protection groove 4, ensuring the ear protection function while also ensuring a neat appearance.

[0059] In practice, the hole 9 is adapted to the ear protection groove 4, which can ensure that the user's ear can be comfortably embedded in the ear protection groove when lying on his side, avoiding pressure.

[0060] The pillowcase 2 has a connector 10 at its bottom along its length. The connector 10 can be any one of a zipper, Velcro, snap fastener, or letter sticker, allowing users to easily disassemble and wash it as needed, while ensuring the overall aesthetics and usability of the pillowcase.

[0061] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
