Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bedding, and in particular to neck support pillows. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, pillows serve as an indispensable aid during sleep, and their design and function directly impact the user's sleep quality and physical health. However, existing pillows have some shortcomings in their structural design, particularly in cervical spine support and facial skin protection. Traditional pillows often fail to adequately consider the physiological curve of the cervical spine, providing insufficient support for the neck when lying on the back. This results in the cervical spine being unsupported or in an unnatural position during sleep, easily leading to neck fatigue, soreness, and other discomfort. Furthermore, some users may naturally shift from lying on their back to lying on their side, and existing pillows lack effective adaptation to this position, further exacerbating pressure on the cervical spine and affecting the sleep experience.

[0003] Meanwhile, for users with sensitive facial skin, traditional pillows cause a large area of ​​the face to directly contact the pillow surface when sleeping on one's side. This prolonged pressure can lead to skin problems such as acne and redness, and even trigger other skin sensitivity symptoms. Although some pillow designs exist on the market that target cervical spine support or skin protection, these products are often single-function and cannot simultaneously meet the needs of comfortable cervical spine support and facial skin protection. Therefore, developing a multi-functional pillow that can effectively support the cervical spine while reducing the contact between the face and the pillow surface has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0004] Against this backdrop, the present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing pillows in terms of cervical spine support and skin protection through innovative structural design, and to provide a neck support pillow that better meets the needs of ergonomics, so as to satisfy users' dual needs for comfort and health. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a neck support pillow to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A neck support pillow includes an upper pillow block and a lower pillow block, both of which are integrally molded from foam material and form an internal cavity. A neck support rod is filled and fixedly installed within the cavity, giving the pillow an overall "B"-shaped structure on the side. This "B"-shaped structure has two sides, one higher and one lower, with the higher side formed by the neck support rod, providing neck support for the user when lying on their back.

[0008] Furthermore, the neck support rod is specifically configured as follows: the neck support rod is arranged along the longitudinal axis of the receiving cavity and fixed inside the receiving cavity by being wrapped with foam material, thereby creating a significant height difference in the height direction of the pillow to achieve effective support for the cervical spine. The neck support rod is made of a high-density elastic material, which is harder than foam material and can provide stable support when the user is lying on their back.

[0009] Specifically, a retaining mesh is provided on the surface of the upper pillow block. This retaining mesh contains multiple mesh cavities, each measuring 3mm × 3mm to 5mm × 5mm, for accommodating filling materials such as cassia seeds. The retaining mesh is fixed to the outer surface of the upper pillow block using a heat-pressing process, ensuring it will not shift or fall off during use. The particle size of the filling material matches the size of the mesh cavities, thereby improving pillow comfort while preventing the filling material from overflowing from the cavities.

[0010] Furthermore, to optimize the support effect when sleeping on one's side, this invention adds an air chamber structure based on Embodiment 1. The air chamber structure includes a pair of symmetrically arranged supporting air chambers and a side-supporting air chamber. The supporting air chambers are parabolic in shape, with their openings facing the center of the pillow, primarily serving to support the head. The side-supporting air chambers are located near the edge of the pillow, providing secondary support. When the user sleeps on their side or turns over to one side, their head will compress the supporting air chamber on one side, causing the side-supporting air chamber to fill with air. The bulge of the side-supporting air chamber can press against the user's head, preventing further turning over and reducing direct contact between the face and the pillow.

[0011] The supporting air chamber and the side-supporting air chamber are connected by an air-blocking grille. This grille contains multiple flow channels, each with a circular or elliptical cross-section and a diameter ranging from 1mm to 2mm. The grille is fixed to the connection point between the supporting and side-supporting air chambers using injection molding, thereby slowing down the flow velocity of gas between them and extending the gas flow distance. The grille also provides additional support for both the upper and lower pillow blocks, ensuring the pillow maintains basic support and stability during use.

[0012] Specifically, the volume ratio of the support air chamber to the side-support air chamber is 3:1 to 5:1, ensuring that the support air chamber provides primary support during normal use, while the side-support air chamber offers auxiliary support when sleeping on your side. The parabolic design of the support air chamber allows it to better conform to the head's contour, thus evenly distributing head pressure. The side-support air chamber is positioned close to the edge of the pillow, with its edge 10mm to 20mm from the pillow's outer contour, to prevent weakened support when sleeping on your side due to the air chamber being too close to the center.

[0013] Furthermore, to optimize the space utilization of the air chambers, this invention controls the total volume of the supporting air chamber and the side-supporting air chamber to between 20% and 30% of the total volume of the accommodating cavity, thereby ensuring that the pillow still has sufficient support to meet the needs of different sleeping positions. The design of the air chambers is optimized through computer simulation to ensure that their deformation range under different usage conditions is within a controllable range, thereby maintaining the overall stability of the pillow.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] The neck support bar design creates two distinct sides along the pillow's height, providing effective support for the cervical spine and relieving pressure when the user is lying on their back. The support and side-support air chambers ensure even head support when sleeping on one's side, preventing direct contact between the face and the pillow and reducing skin problems. The air-blocking grid design slows airflow, ensuring stable support during use and providing additional structural strength. The inclusion of a mesh insert further enhances the pillow's comfort and functionality, meeting the needs of diverse users. Attached Figure Description

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0027] A neck support pillow, the structure and function of which are achieved through several embodiments. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 This document details the specific embodiments of this utility model. Firstly, regarding the overall structure, the neck support pillow includes an upper pillow block 1 and a lower pillow block 2, both integrally molded from foam material, forming an internal cavity 3. The design of the cavity 3 not only provides a fixed position for the neck support rod 4 but also ensures the pillow's support performance under different sleeping positions. The neck support rod 4 is arranged along the longitudinal axis of the cavity 3 and is fixed within the cavity 3 by being wrapped in foam material, thus forming two sides of varying height in the pillow's height direction. The higher side is formed by the protrusion of the neck support rod 4, providing neck support when the user is lying on their back. The neck support rod 4 is made of a high-density elastic material, with a harderness than the foam material, providing stable support when the user is lying on their back.

[0028] During use, the neck support rod 4 is designed to form a "B"-shaped structure through the combination of its hardness and shape with the foam material. This structure has a significant height difference, effectively conforming to the natural physiological curve of the cervical spine and reducing cervical pressure. Specifically, when the user lies on their back, the head touches the lower side of the pillow, while the cervical spine is supported by the higher side of the neck support rod 4, preventing the cervical spine from being unsupported. This design is especially suitable for people who work at a desk for long periods or have cervical discomfort, relieving cervical fatigue during sleep.

[0029] To further enhance comfort, this invention incorporates a retaining mesh 5 on the surface of the upper pillow block 1. The retaining mesh 5 contains multiple mesh cavities, each measuring between 3mm×3mm and 5mm×5mm, for holding fillings such as cassia seeds. The choice of these fillings can be adjusted according to the user's needs; for example, cassia seeds offer a certain degree of firmness and breathability, enhancing the pillow's massage effect while maintaining good breathability. The retaining mesh 5 is fixed to the outer surface of the upper pillow block 1 using a heat-pressing process, ensuring it will not shift or fall off during use. The particle size of the filling matches the size of the mesh cavities, preventing overflow and ensuring both comfort and functionality of the pillow.

[0030] Based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment adds an air chamber structure to optimize support during side sleeping. The air chamber structure includes a pair of symmetrically arranged support air chambers 6 and side-supporting air chambers 7. The support air chambers 6 are parabolic in shape, with their openings facing the center of the pillow, primarily serving to support the head; the side-supporting air chambers 7 are located near the edge of the pillow, providing secondary support. When the user sleeps on their side or turns to one side, their head compresses the support air chamber 6 on one side, causing the side-supporting air chamber 7 to inflate. The raised area of ​​the side-supporting air chamber 7 can hold the user's head against, preventing further turning and reducing direct contact between the face and the pillow. The design of the support air chambers 6 allows them to better conform to the head's contours, evenly distributing head pressure, thereby improving comfort during side sleeping.

[0031] The supporting air chamber 6 and the side-supporting air chamber 7 are connected by an air-blocking grille 8. The air-blocking grille 8 contains multiple flow channels, each with a circular or elliptical cross-sectional shape and a diameter ranging from 1mm to 2mm. The air-blocking grille 8 is fixed to the connection point between the supporting air chamber 6 and the side-supporting air chamber 7 using an injection molding process, slowing down the flow velocity of gas between the two chambers and extending the gas flow distance. The key to this design is maintaining the stability of the pillow during use by controlling the gas flow velocity, preventing a decrease in support performance due to rapid deformation. Furthermore, the air-blocking grille 8 also provides additional support for the upper pillow block 1 and the lower pillow block 2, enhancing the overall strength of the pillow.

[0032] The volume ratio of the supporting air chamber 6 to the side-supporting air chamber 7 is designed to be 3:1 to 5:1. This ensures that the supporting air chamber 6 provides primary support during normal use, while the side-supporting air chamber 7 provides auxiliary support when sleeping on your side. The parabolic design of the supporting air chamber 6 allows it to better adapt to the natural shape of the head, evenly distributing pressure and avoiding excessive pressure in any one area. The side-supporting air chamber 7 is positioned close to the edge of the pillow, with its edge 10mm to 20mm from the outer contour of the pillow. This design avoids the problem of the air chamber being too close to the center, which would weaken the support effect, while ensuring that the side-supporting air chamber 7 can quickly inflate with air when sleeping on your side, providing effective support.

[0033] To optimize the space utilization of the air chambers, this invention controls the total volume of the supporting air chamber 6 and the side-supporting air chamber 7 to be between 20% and 30% of the total volume of the accommodating chamber 3. This ratio ensures that the pillow still has sufficient support to meet the needs of different sleeping positions. The design of the air chambers is optimized through computer simulation to ensure that their deformation range under different usage conditions is within a controllable range, thereby maintaining the overall stability of the pillow. In practical applications, this design allows the pillow to maintain good support performance during supine, side-lying, and tossing-over sleeping, providing users with a comfortable sleep experience.

[0034] During manufacturing, the upper pillow block 1 and lower pillow block 2 are integrally molded using a mold, ensuring the product's structural stability and durability. The foam material is selected for its excellent elasticity and breathability to meet the comfort requirements of prolonged use. The neck support rod 4 is fixed within the receiving cavity 3 via an embedded installation method; its hardness and shape have undergone multiple tests and optimizations to achieve optimal support. The hot-pressing process of the receiving mesh 5 ensures the sealing of the mesh receiving cavity, preventing leakage of the filling material, while also enhancing the pillow's aesthetics and practicality.

[0035] In practical applications, this neck support pillow can be widely used in homes, hotels, and medical institutions. For people who work at desks for long periods or suffer from neck discomfort, the neck support rod 4 effectively relieves cervical pressure and improves sleep quality. For users with sensitive skin, the support air chamber 6 and side-support air chamber 7 reduce direct contact between the face and the pillow, lowering the probability of skin problems. The flexibility of the mesh pouch 5 allows users to choose different fillings according to their individual needs, further enhancing the pillow's applicability and comfort.

[0036] In summary, this invention achieves effective cervical spine support through the design of the neck support rod 4, optimizes the support effect when sleeping on one's side through the design of the support air chamber 6 and the side-support air chamber 7, ensures the stability of the pillow during use through the design of the air-blocking grid 8, and enhances the comfort and functionality of the pillow through the design of the mesh pocket 5. The combination of these designs allows this invention to meet the needs of different users in practical applications and provide a high-quality sleep experience.

[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
