Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of car neck pillows, specifically to a collision-absorbing car safety neck pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Car seatbacks typically have a headrest, but often lack a neck pillow, leaving the neck unsupported and prone to fatigue. Based on this, a search revealed several existing technologies, which will be introduced one by one below:

[0003] Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN202429093U discloses a push-pull car neck pillow, which, while retaining the ability of the pillow (pillow rod) to be raised and lowered, adds an adjustable frame and pillow that can move back and forth, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the pillow up and down and back and forth.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN211641955U discloses a car headrest that can also be adjusted in position both vertically and horizontally.

[0005] Both of the aforementioned patent documents can adjust the position of the neck pillow. However, the adjustment requires active user intervention. When the user's neck is subjected to a backward force, the neck pillow cannot be passively adjusted, thus failing to provide a cushioning effect and compromising safety. In addition, users experience neck fatigue during long drives. Typically, while waiting at a traffic light, users will twist their necks to relieve fatigue. However, since the neck pillow is fixed in position, users need to tilt their necks forward to remove it before they can twist their necks, resulting in a poor user experience that also needs improvement.

[0006] Based on the above, this utility model proposes a collision-buffered car safety neck pillow. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problems mentioned in the background above, this utility model provides a collision-cushionable car safety neck pillow.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.

[0009] A collision-cushioned car safety neck pillow includes a mounting base with a snap-fit ​​assembly for engaging with the headrest rod of a car headrest. A neck pillow is also mounted on the mounting base via a connecting assembly. The neck pillow supports the user's neck. When the user's neck is subjected to an external force near the car headrest, the connecting assembly is triggered to cushion and protect the user's neck. The connecting assembly and the neck pillow are connected by a ball joint.

[0010] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the mounting base is provided with a first sliding area and a second sliding area, and the guiding directions of the two are perpendicular. The buckle assembly is disposed in the first sliding area, and the connecting assembly is disposed in the second sliding area.

[0011] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the buckle assembly includes two sliding pillars slidably disposed in the first sliding area, a first spring disposed between the two sliding pillars, and the opposite ends of the two sliding pillars extending out of the mounting base and provided with a pawl.

[0012] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the mounting base is provided with a first fixing tooth, the extension direction of the first fixing tooth being parallel to the guiding direction of the second sliding area;

[0013] The connecting assembly includes a slide block slidably disposed in the second sliding area. One end of the slide block extends out of the mounting base and is provided with a connecting rod. The end of the connecting rod is provided with a universal joint, which is used to form a ball joint with the neck pillow.

[0014] The slide block is slidably provided with a first movable tooth on the side facing the first fixed tooth. The sliding direction of the first movable tooth is perpendicular to the guiding direction of the second sliding area. A second spring is provided between the first movable tooth and the slide block. Initially, under the elastic force of the second spring, the first movable tooth engages with the first fixed tooth.

[0015] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, two first fixed teeth are provided and are respectively located on both sides of the second sliding area, and two first movable teeth are provided accordingly.

[0016] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the first movable tooth and the first fixed tooth have an arc-shaped protrusion.

[0017] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the connecting rod is a telescopic rod structure.

[0018] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the neck pillow is provided with an adjustment component for forming a ball joint with the universal head.

[0019] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the adjustment component includes a fixed seat disposed inside the neck pillow, and a movable seat is slidably disposed on the fixed seat in the vertical direction;

[0020] The fixed seat is provided with a second fixed tooth arranged vertically in the extending direction. The movable seat is slidably provided with a support in the width direction of the fixed seat. A third spring is provided between the support and the movable seat. The elastic force of the third spring is used to drive the support to move closer to the second fixed tooth.

[0021] The teeth on the second fixed tooth and the teeth on the second movable tooth are arranged facing each other and both have an arc-shaped protrusion. Initially, the second movable tooth meshes with the second fixed tooth.

[0022] A connecting seat is provided on the side of the movable seat facing the mounting seat. The connecting seat is used to cooperate with the universal joint to realize the ball joint between the movable seat and the connecting rod.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] 1. In this solution, the cooperation between the first movable tooth and the first fixed tooth can play a multi-level elastic buffering role when the user's neck is subjected to a backward external force, thus protecting the user's neck and providing better safety.

[0025] 2. In this solution, by setting the connecting rod as a telescopic rod structure, the lateral position of the neck pillow can be adjusted. By adjusting the components, the height of the neck pillow can be adjusted. The two work together to adjust the position of the neck pillow to match the different body types and sitting postures of users, thus providing better comfort.

[0037] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Reference Figures 1-6 A collision-cushioned car safety neck pillow, including a mounting base 1.

[0040] The mounting base 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​assembly 2, which is used to engage with the headrest rod of the car headrest.

[0041] A neck pillow 4 is mounted on the mounting base 1 via a connecting component 3. The neck pillow 4 supports the user's neck. When the user's neck is subjected to an external force close to the car headrest, the connecting component 3 is triggered to buffer and protect the user's neck, thus improving safety. Furthermore, the connecting component 3 and the neck pillow 4 are connected by a ball joint, and damping is provided at the ball joint. Damping can be achieved with existing technology, such as by increasing the friction at the ball joint through materials. The advantage is that when the user's neck is fatigued and uncomfortable, a little force can be used to move the neck and relieve fatigue.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 The mounting base 1 is provided with a first sliding area 102 and a second sliding area 103, and the guiding directions of the two are perpendicular.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 The buckle assembly 2 includes two sliding pillars 201 that are slidably disposed in the first sliding area 102. A first spring 203 is disposed between the two sliding pillars 201. The opposite ends of the two sliding pillars 201 extend out of the mounting base 1 and are provided with claws 202.

[0044] In use, press the sliding column 201 to bring the two sliding columns 201 closer together, compressing the first spring 203. Then, insert the buckle assembly 2 between the two headrest rods of the car headrest and release it. Under the elastic force of the first spring 203, the two claws 202 respectively lock the two headrest rods, realizing the snap-fit ​​connection between the neck pillow and the car headrest.

[0045] Reference Figures 4-6 The mounting base 1 is also provided with a first fixing tooth 104. The extension direction of the first fixing tooth 104 is parallel to the guiding direction of the second sliding area 103. Preferably, there are two first fixing teeth 104 and they are located on both sides of the second sliding area 103 respectively.

[0046] The connecting component 3 includes a slide block 301 slidably disposed in the second sliding area 103. One end of the slide block 301 extends out of the mounting base 1 and is provided with a connecting rod 302. The end of the connecting rod 302 is provided with a universal joint, which is used to form a ball joint with the neck pillow 4.

[0047] A first movable tooth 303 is slidably disposed on the side of the slide 301 facing the first fixed tooth 104. The sliding direction of the first movable tooth 303 is perpendicular to the guiding direction of the second sliding area 103. A second spring 304 is disposed between the first movable tooth 303 and the slide 301. Initially, under the elastic force of the second spring 304, the first movable tooth 303 engages with the first fixed tooth 104. Since the teeth of the first movable tooth 303 and the first fixed tooth 104 are arc-shaped protrusions, when the user's neck is subjected to a backward force, the first movable tooth 303 can continuously engage and disengage with the first fixed tooth 104. This action can provide a buffering effect for the user's neck.

[0048] In addition, a base plate 101 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 1 to seal the bottom opening of the mounting base 1.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] When using the neck pillow 4, its position needs to be adjusted according to the user's body shape and sitting posture. Therefore, Example 2 is proposed.

[0051] When adjusting the lateral distance of the neck pillow 4, the user needs to press or pull the neck pillow 4 outward. Since the first movable tooth 303 and the first fixed tooth 104 play a buffering role, and the elastic coefficient of the second spring 304 is relatively large, a lot of force is required to change the lateral position of the neck pillow 4, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, the connecting rod 302 can be set as a telescopic rod structure. The lateral position of the neck pillow 4 can be extended or retracted by the connecting rod 302. The telescopic rod can adopt existing technology, such as electric telescopic rod, manual telescopic rod, etc., which will not be elaborated.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 The neck pillow 4 is equipped with an adjustment component 5, which is connected to the connecting rod 302 in a ball joint and is used to adjust the height of the neck pillow 4.

[0053] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The adjustment component 5 includes a fixed seat 501 disposed inside the neck pillow 4, and a movable seat 503 is slidably disposed on the fixed seat 501 along the vertical direction.

[0054] The fixed base 501 is provided with a second fixed tooth 502 that extends vertically. Preferably, there are two second fixed teeth 502, which are located on both sides of the movable base 503 respectively.

[0055] A support 504 is slidably disposed on the movable seat 503 along the width direction of the fixed seat 501. A third spring 506 is disposed between the support 504 and the movable seat 503. The elastic force of the third spring 506 is used to drive the support 504 to move closer to the second fixed tooth 502.

[0056] The teeth on the second fixed tooth 502 and the teeth on the second movable tooth 505 are arranged facing each other and both have an arc-shaped protrusion. Initially, the second movable tooth 505 meshes with the second fixed tooth 502.

[0057] A connecting seat 507 is provided on the side of the movable seat 503 facing the mounting seat 1. The connecting seat 507 is used to cooperate with the universal joint to realize the ball joint between the movable seat 503 and the connecting rod 302.

[0058] When adjusting the height of the neck pillow 4, it should be noted that the spring coefficient of the third spring 506 is relatively small. Therefore, the user can move the neck pillow 4 up or down with a little force.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
