Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to a headrest structure that is convenient for users to use when lying face down. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, people spend long hours sitting at work, looking down at their phones, or using electronic devices, which increases the pressure on the cervical spine and can easily lead to stiffness, soreness, and even strain. Relaxing the cervical spine has become an important need to alleviate this discomfort, and lying face down is an effective posture that allows the cervical spine to stretch naturally and reduce vertical pressure. In this position, the cervical spine does not need to support the weight of the head and can be in a relatively relaxed natural physiological curvature.

[0003] However, existing tools for assisting prone sleeping have significant shortcomings: ordinary pillows or cushions lack a structure that conforms to the face, making it easy to cause breathing difficulties due to head pressure when lying face down, and the head lacks stable support, making it easy to tilt to the sides, which puts the cervical spine in an unnatural twisted state and aggravates muscle tension; some prone sleeping pillows have simple grooves, but the shape of the grooves does not conform well to the facial contours, and the support is insufficient to maintain the natural and relaxed posture of the cervical spine, and the material is too hard or too soft, which can easily cause facial pressure and cervical fatigue with prolonged use.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a headrest structure specifically for face-down lying scenarios. By optimizing the support method and adapting to ergonomics, it can effectively maintain the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine and achieve full relaxation of the cervical spine while ensuring facial comfort and smooth breathing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a headrest structure that is convenient for users to use when lying face down. Through the support design that adapts to the facial contour and ergonomic optimization, the head of the user can obtain stable and comfortable support when lying face down, maintain the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine, thereby effectively relaxing the cervical spine and relieving cervical fatigue.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a headrest structure that is convenient for users to use when lying face down, including a headrest body, in which a channel is formed from top to bottom, the top of the channel transitions to the top of the headrest body with an arc surface and is adapted to the contour of the human face, and the bottom of the headrest body is provided with an anti-slip pad layer.

[0007] A preferred technical solution is that the side of the headrest body is provided with a vent hole that connects to the channel.

[0008] A preferred technical solution is that a cooler or a heater is provided in the channel, and the cooler or the heater is connected to the inner wall of the channel through a detachable connector and is spaced apart from the human face.

[0009] The preferred technical solution is that the headrest body is made of silicone, rubber or airbag structure, and the outer surface of the headrest body is provided with a number of anti-slip protrusions.

[0010] The preferred technical solution is that the cross-sectional shape of the channel is elliptical or teardrop-shaped, and the inner wall of the channel is provided with a flexible buffer layer.

[0011] A preferred technical solution is that: the headrest body has symmetrically distributed armrests on both sides, and the armrests are integrally formed with the headrest body.

[0012] A preferred technical solution is that the top edge of the channel is provided with a removable protective pad, which is made of skin-friendly fabric.

[0013] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention achieves cervical spine relaxation when lying face down through the following methods: The design of the channel adapts to the facial contours, allowing the head to be placed naturally, avoiding cervical spine twisting caused by head tilting, and maintaining the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine; the elastic material (silicone, rubber, or airbag) of the headrest body provides moderate support, capable of supporting the weight of the head and adaptively adjusting to pressure, reducing tension in the cervical spine caused by improper support; the bottom anti-slip pad and the outer anti-slip protrusions together ensure the stability of the headrest, preventing sudden force on the cervical spine due to headrest displacement during lying down; the ventilation holes and flexible buffer layer solve the problems of breathing difficulties and facial pressure, improving lying comfort and allowing users to maintain the posture for a long time, fully relaxing the cervical spine; the armrests stabilize the upper body posture, reducing additional pressure on the cervical spine from body swaying, further enhancing the relaxation effect.
