[0002] The most common use case for new latex pillows is to improve sleep. Latex pillows have excellent elasticity, adapting to different sleeping positions and providing ideal head and neck support, reducing pressure points and helping to improve sleep quality. Due to their high comfort and durability, latex pillows are often found in high-end hotels and guesthouses. Latex pillows offer a high-quality sleep experience, allowing guests to enjoy the comfort of home during their stay.

[0003] However, some existing new types of latex pillows designed to protect the cervical spine are usually made directly of latex. By designing the latex into a specific shape, they aim to improve the user experience. However, they fail to consider that the user's neck will move during the use of the latex pillow, and simply setting the latex pillow into a specific shape cannot protect the user's neck.

[0004] Therefore, a new type of latex pillow that protects the cervical spine is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a novel latex pillow for cervical spine protection, aiming to improve the problem that existing technologies cannot protect the user's cervical spine.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel latex pillow for cervical spine protection, comprising a pillow 1. The pillow 1 serves as a basic support structure, providing support for the user's head and neck, and achieving cervical spine protection through its internal structure. A fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the pillow 1. The fixing plate 2 is fixedly installed on the left side of the pillow, providing an installation reference for components such as fixing rod 4 and fixing rod 8, ensuring the overall structural stability. A groove 3 is formed on the top of the fixing plate 2. The groove 3 provides a sliding track for the sliding block 6 and accommodates a spring 5, limiting its deformation direction. A fixing rod 4 is fixedly connected inside the groove 3. The fixing rod 4 is vertically fixed inside the groove 3, serving as a guide rod for the sliding block 6, ensuring that the sliding block 6 moves in a straight line and that the direction of force transmission is stable.

[0031] A spring 5 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 4. When compressed by the sliding block 6, the spring 5 stores elastic potential energy and releases it upon resetting, providing dynamic support for the support plate 10. A sliding block 6 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixed rod 4. The sliding block 6 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 4 and transmits the elastic force of the spring 5 to the connecting plate 7, realizing the height adjustment and buffering function of the support plate 10. The outside of the sliding block 6 is slidably connected inside the groove 3. One end of the spring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding block 6. A transmission assembly for transmitting force is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding block 6. The transmission assembly includes the connecting plate 7, which connects the sliding block 6 and the support plate 10, converting the horizontal sliding of the sliding block 6 into an angular change of the support plate 10, thus transmitting the support force. A fixed rod 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed plate 2. The fixed rod 8 is fixed to the left side of the fixed plate and serves as the rotation axis of the rotating plate 9, allowing the rotating plate 9 to rotate freely around it, realizing the angle adjustment of the support plate 10.

[0032] Two rotating plates 9 are rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed rod 2 8. The rotating plates 9 are sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 2 8. By rotating, they transmit the pressure of the support plate 10 to the fixed plate 2, while supporting the support plate 10 and guiding its movement. The outside of the rotating plates 9 is in contact with the outside of the fixed plate 2. The support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the two rotating plates 9. The support plate 10 directly contacts the user's neck. Through the rotation of the rotating plates 9 and the elastic force of the spring 5, dynamic support is provided for the neck, dispersing pressure and protecting the cervical spine. The transmission assembly includes a connecting plate 7. One end of the connecting plate 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding block 6, and the other end of the connecting plate 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support plate 10.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The pillow 1 has an internal cavity 11, which provides space for the second spring 12, allowing it to freely compress and return to its original position under pressure. Multiple second springs 12 are evenly distributed within the cavity 11. They compress under head pressure and return to their original position, providing even support for the head and relieving cervical spine pressure. One end of each second spring 12 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the cavity 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall. The top of the pillow 1 has multiple protrusions 13 made of latex, evenly distributed to increase the contact area with the head, improving breathability and comfort, and reducing localized pressure. Both the pillow 1 and the protrusions 13 are made of latex, and the protrusions 13 are evenly distributed on the top of the pillow 1.

[0034] Working principle: When the user rests their head on the top of the pillow 1, the weight of the head is transmitted to the internal cavity 11 through the latex material of the pillow 1. The springs 12, which are evenly distributed inside the cavity 11, undergo elastic deformation under pressure, with their tops and bottoms compressing towards the inner wall of the cavity 11. While storing elastic potential energy, this disperses the pressure of the head to the entire top area of ​​the pillow 1. The protrusions 13 at the top of the pillow 1 are made of latex material. Their raised structure deforms when in contact with the head, further dispersing local pressure and improving contact comfort. The support plate 10 in the neck area undergoes initial displacement under the weight of the head, causing the rotating plate 9 at its bottom to rotate around the fixed rod 8. The rotational motion is transmitted to the sliding block 6 through the connecting plate 7 in the transmission assembly. The sliding block 6 slides along the fixed rod 4 into the groove 3 and compresses the spring 5 sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 4. The reverse elastic restoring force generated by the spring 5 is transmitted to the support plate 10 through the sliding block 6 and the connecting plate 7, forming a support force that balances the pressure of the head. Under the dynamic support of spring 5, the support plate 10 automatically adjusts its angle according to the user's neck curve to maintain the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine. When the user's head position changes, the elastic restoring force of spring 12 drives the latex material at the top of the pillow 1 to return to its original position, and simultaneously drives the support plate 10 to adjust its support angle through the rotating plate 9 and the connecting plate 7.

[0035] The sliding block 6 slides back and forth along the fixed rod 4 under the action of spring 5, continuously providing support force that matches the pressure on the neck. The raised structure of the stud 13 absorbs impact energy under pressure through the viscoelastic properties of the latex material, reducing the impact force between the head and the pillow 1. The elastic deformation and recovery process of spring 12 continues, forming a dynamic buffer for the head to reduce cervical fatigue. The support plate 10 is connected to the fixed rod 8 by the rotation of the rotating plate 9, providing personalized support to accommodate the different neck heights of different users. The sliding trajectory of the sliding block 6 in the groove 3 is guided by both the fixed rod 4 and the inner wall of the groove 3, ensuring a stable direction of support force transmission. The elastic coefficient of spring 5 is optimized to provide moderate cushioning while ensuring support strength and avoiding rigid compression. The latex material of the pillow 1, combined with the gap structure of the stud 13, promotes air circulation and reduces the feeling of stuffiness on the head. When the user turns over or adjusts their sleeping position, the support plate 10 follows the neck movement trajectory in real time through the rotation of the rotating plate 9 and the elastic deformation of spring 5 to maintain effective support. The elastic restoring force of spring 12, together with the latex material of pillow 1, forms a three-dimensional support system that evenly distributes pressure on the head and face. The distribution density and height of the bumps 13 are ergonomically designed to provide multi-point support when in contact with the head, reducing localized pressure concentration.

[0036] The sliding displacement of the sliding block 6 is automatically adjusted by the deformation of the spring 5, adapting to different neck pressure differences without manual operation. The contact surfaces of the rotating plate 9 and the fixed plate 2 are polished to reduce rotational friction resistance and ensure smooth and fluid adjustment of the angle of the support plate 10. The spring 12 is made of high-elasticity latex material, which has good fatigue resistance and maintains long-term stable support. The overall structure of the pillow 1, through the synergistic action of the fixed plate 2 and the support plate 10, forms a two-way support system for the cervical spine, taking into account the physiological needs of both the head and neck. When the neck pressure is relieved, the elastic potential energy of the spring 5 is released, driving the sliding block 6 to reset and causing the support plate 10 to return to its initial position. The latex material of the protrusions 13 has a memory function, which can gradually adapt to the user's head contour, improving the fit over long-term use.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
