[0056] The technical solutions of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0057] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this 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 of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0058] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" 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 this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model provides an in-vehicle passenger sleep support device, including a groove-shaped pillow seat 1 with an open top. A pillow 2 is placed in the groove of the pillow seat 1, so that the pillow 2 is completely placed in the pillow seat 1 and is higher than the top of the pillow seat 1. The pillow seat 1 is also provided with bottom support connectors 3 at both ends. The upper ends of the two bottom support connectors 3 are hinged to the pillow seat 1, and the lower ends of the two bottom support connectors 3 are connected to the bottom support base 4, so that the left and right bottom support connectors 3 can be independently unfolded. Two support plates 5 are also provided on the lower end surface of the bottom plate 11 of the pillow seat 1. The lower ends of the two support plates 5 are respectively hinged to the inner side of the corresponding bottom support connector 3, and the upper ends of the two support plates 5 are respectively hinged to the bottom plate 11 of the pillow seat 1. The support plates 5 are used to adjust and position the support angle of the two bottom support connectors 3, and play a good limiting support role for the bottom support connectors 3. When the user uses it in the vehicle, it has good support strength and stability.

[0060] The bottom support connector 3 and the support plate 5 are made of aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, reinforced composite materials, engineering plastics or structural materials with high strength and lightweight properties, making the entire support device lighter.

[0061] This utility model device adopts a modular design, and the modular structure supports the disassembly or replacement of components. Preferably, the pillow is detachably mounted on the pillow base (e.g., Figure 4For example, the pillow seat has a buckle groove that engages with the buckle at the bottom of the pillow to allow for pillow replacement or washing. Alternatively, the pillow can be placed directly in the groove of the pillow seat and fixed in place by the pillow's own resilience. This will not be elaborated further here.

[0062] The sleep support device provided by this utility model has two bottom support connectors 3 and pillow seat 1 arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically. That is, the hinge angles formed between the two bottom support connectors 3 and pillow seat 1 can be equal or unequal. When the hinge angles are unequal, the pillow seat can be arranged at an angle. In actual use, the user can support one end of the bottom support seat on the side of the seat, and lean the other end of the bottom support seat against the car door or window, thereby forming an angled sleeping posture support and reducing neck pressure when the head tilts to the side.

[0063] The overall support structure of this utility model has high stability. It adopts a double base design formed by a bottom support seat and a support plate. One base is located on the passenger's legs or seat surface, and the other support point is in contact with the door window or door panel area. On one side of the two bottom support seats 4, there is an anti-slip silicone pad (not shown in the figure) for abutting against the seat and window sill. The device is fixed by friction or clamping, providing more stable support for sleeping.

[0064] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the preferred bottom support 4 has a plug-in cavity 4b with an upper opening. The bottom support 4 is provided with a plurality of height adjustment holes 4a arranged at intervals and penetrating the plug-in cavity 4b. The bottom support connector 3 is provided with a height positioning hole 3a, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, the preferred configuration includes three height adjustment holes 4a and two height positioning holes 3a. However, different numbers of height adjustment holes 4a and height positioning holes 3a can be used depending on the adjustment amount. Different lengths of the bottom support base can also be used to accommodate passengers of different heights. The lower part of the bottom support connector 3 inserts into the insertion cavity 4b of the bottom support base 4, and the height positioning holes 3a and height adjustment holes 4a are connected in series via a connector 6, allowing for height adjustment of the support device. The connector 6 can be a pin, screw, snap-fit, or other plug-in positioning mechanism. The angle of the bottom support connector 3 can also be adjusted by adjusting the support position at the upper end of the support plate 5. Each support plate 5 can be adjusted individually, allowing the bottom support connector 3 to have different support angles according to user needs, providing a sleeping support function in a tilted position.

[0065] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, two fixing blocks 7 with through holes I7a are respectively provided on the two end faces of the pillow seat 1. The two fixing blocks 7 are spaced apart and the two through holes I7a are coaxially arranged. A connecting block 31 is provided at the upper end of the bottom support connector 3. The connecting block 31 has a through hole II31a. The connecting block 31 is placed between the two fixing blocks 7 and passes through the through hole I7a and the two through holes II31a through a long shaft I8 (such as a screw). Then, it is fixed by a nut at the extended end of the long shaft I, so that the bottom support connector 3 can rotate along the long shaft I8. This structure can independently adjust the support angle of the two support connectors 3 to adapt to the more complex in-vehicle use environment.

[0066] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown in the structure, a groove 1a is formed at the bottom end of the pillow base 1 along its length. The groove 1a is located in the middle of the pillow base 1, and multiple symmetrically arranged through holes 1b are formed on both sides of the groove 1a. Figure 9 As shown, a through hole I5a is formed along the upper end of the support plate 5, extending in its width direction. Two connecting grooves 5b are provided on one side of the support plate 5, communicating with the through hole I5a. The two connecting grooves 5b are respectively located near the two ends of the through hole I5a. A push-pull shaft 9 is installed in each connecting groove 5b. The push-pull shaft 9 is L-shaped, with a vertically arranged shaft head and a push-pull part. The shaft head is located in the through hole I, and the push-pull part extends out of the connecting groove. When the push-pull part is manually pushed, the shaft head can extend out of the through hole I and be inserted into the corresponding through-hole 1b. The upper end of the support plate 5 is slidably disposed in the groove 1a. When the push-pull shaft 9 is pushed along the connecting groove 5b, the push-pull shaft 9 is inserted into the corresponding through-hole 1b on both sides of the groove 1a. When the push-pull shaft 9 is pushed in the opposite direction, the shaft head of the push-pull shaft 9 disengages from the through-hole 1b. When the support angle needs to be adjusted, the bottom support connector 3 can be rotated to move the upper end of the support plate 5 along the groove 1a. When a suitable support angle is found, the push-pull shaft 9 can be pushed to insert it into the corresponding through-shaft hole 1b, thus completing the limit of the support angle of the support plate 5.

[0067] The lower end of the support plate 5 is connected to the bottom support connector 3 by a hinge. That is, a through hole II5c is formed along the width direction of the lower end of the support plate 5. Two fixing seats 10 with through holes III10a are fixed on the inner side of the bottom support connector 3. The through holes III10a on the two fixing seats 10 are coaxially arranged. The lower end of the support plate 5 is located between the two fixing seats 10, and the lower end of the support plate 5 is hinged to the bottom support connector 3 by the long shaft II20 passing through the through holes II5c and III10a, so that the lower end of the support plate 5 can rotate along the long shaft II.

[0068] like Figure 10As shown, during a ride, the user unfolds the device, placing one end of the base support 4 on the lower edge of the car door window 30 and the other end on the seat 40, with the thighs positioned opposite the window sill. The user's shoulders rest against the pillow area, and by adjusting the support angle, the head naturally rests on the support device, achieving stable and comfortable sleeping posture support. Of course, the height of the base support can also be adjusted to allow the entire support device to present various tilt positions.

[0069] To reduce the overall weight of the device, aluminum, carbon fiber, or reinforced composite materials can be used to reduce the weight while maintaining strength. The pillow 2 is filled with medium-density foam or memory material, which is then wrapped in a breathable, skin-friendly fabric to further enhance comfort. The pillow surface is covered with a breathable, washable fabric, ensuring both cleanliness and durability.

[0070] This invention addresses the core needs of users for comfort and safety during long-distance travel. Many people experience discomfort due to neck pain and poor posture when trying to rest in a vehicle, affecting their overall travel experience and even leading to fatigue or muscle soreness after the trip. This invention's device is adjustable to suit different user body types and seat heights. The adjustable base design ensures the product can adapt to various vehicle seating configurations, providing a more ideal support angle and position. It offers enhanced support for passengers, especially in the head and spine areas, helping to reduce fatigue, relieve neck and back tension, promote overall health, and improve the overall comfort of the journey.

[0071] This invention not only provides comfortable support, but also prevents the entire device from slipping due to vehicle bumps through a robust support structure, thus ensuring more stable and safer use, and offering high cost-effectiveness.

[0072] Any aspects not described herein are applicable to the prior art.

[0073] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
