Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cervical spine anti-low cranial pressure neck pillow technology, and in particular to an adjustable cervical spine anti-low cranial pressure headache neck pillow. Background Technology
[0002] A head pillow is an essential item for everyone when sleeping, and the quality of sleep is directly related to the pillow. Some people suffer from neck fatigue, soreness, snoring, difficulty falling asleep, insomnia, stiff neck, etc. due to incorrect sleeping posture, which causes the neck to be suspended in the air. In severe cases, it may lead to cervical spine deformation and cervical spondylosis.
[0003] In middle-aged and elderly individuals, degenerative changes in the cervical spine (such as herniated discs and bone hyperplasia) can compress the vertebral artery, leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain and indirectly affecting cerebrospinal fluid circulation. After a lumbar puncture, the neck may be unsupported and uncomfortable when lying flat without a pillow, making it difficult to maintain the required time for this position, often triggering low intracranial pressure headaches. The mechanism by which cervical spine-related low intracranial pressure headaches are prevented is through adjusting the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, indirectly improving the abnormal cerebrospinal fluid pressure caused by cervical disc herniation and the need to lie flat without a pillow, thereby preventing headaches.
[0004] There are various pillow products on the market, and sponge and latex are generally used as filling materials for head pillows. These materials have good plasticity, but in long-term use, because the support of latex and head pillows is soft, it is easy for the cervical spine of the patient's neck to not be well supported. Long-term unsupported position may aggravate the occurrence of cervical spine diseases and be detrimental to human health. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to address the issue that soft support provided by latex and head pillows can easily lead to insufficient support for the cervical spine, and prolonged unsupported position may aggravate cervical spine diseases, which is detrimental to human health. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an adjustable neck pillow to prevent low intracranial pressure headaches.
[0006] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: an adjustable cervical spine neck pillow for preventing low intracranial pressure headaches, comprising:
[0007] A cranial pillow, wherein a limiting groove is provided on one side of the cranial pillow and the limiting groove extends in an arc shape to both sides;
[0008] A neck support pillow is fixedly installed on one side of the head pillow. A support box is movably connected inside the neck support pillow. A support column is movably connected inside the support box. A support rod is movably connected inside the support column. A support plate is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod. The support plate extends arc-shaped to both sides. The outer surface of the support plate is in contact with the inner wall of the neck support pillow. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the support column. A swing arm is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate.
[0009] Massage blocks are evenly distributed on the surface of the neck support pillow away from the head pillow to provide neck support.
[0010] In one embodiment, a rotating shaft is movably connected to the axis of the support column, and one side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft engages with one side of the outer wall of the support rod.
[0011] In one embodiment, a turntable is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. The turntable rotates inside the fixed disk. A knob is movably connected to the axis of the turntable. Multiple limiting posts are arranged around the knob. One end of each of the multiple limiting posts slides through the turntable inside the fixed disk.
[0012] In one embodiment, a baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the support box, and the turntable rotates inside the baffle.
[0013] In one embodiment, an arc-shaped groove is provided on one side of the baffle, and one end of the swing arm is inserted into the interior of the arc-shaped groove and slides along the inner wall of the baffle.
[0014] In one embodiment, a limiting rod is movably inserted into the interior of the baffle, and a plurality of limiting holes are equidistantly opened on one side surface of the fixed plate, with one end of the limiting rod inserted into the interior of one of the limiting holes.
[0015] In one embodiment, the support box is movably provided with two support blocks, which are located below the two ends of the support column, respectively.
[0016] Beneficial effects
[0017] 1. The aforementioned adjustable cervical spine anti-low intracranial pressure headache neck pillow uses a head pillow and a neck support pillow to support the neck and head respectively. Since the human neck structure is generally curved, the neck support pillow is higher than the head pillow. This allows the upper part of the neck support pillow to be close to the lower part of the neck when lying flat, while the head is close to the upper part of the head pillow, which supports the head. This creates a neck-high-head-low position when sleeping, providing better support for the cervical spine. The neck support pillow indirectly improves the abnormal cerebrospinal fluid pressure caused by cervical disc herniation and lying flat without a pillow by adjusting the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, thereby preventing headaches.
[0018] 2. When a person lies down, the limiting groove at the top of the headrest allows the user's head to be positioned at the center bottom of the groove due to its slope, reducing head movement and providing good support stability. The neck support pillow is supported internally by a support box, which is a rigid support and provides good neck support. When the user needs to lie on their side, they need to rotate the fixing plate inside the support box. The fixing plate supports the internal support rod, and an arc-shaped support plate is installed above the support rod. The arc-shaped support plate and the adjustable support angle can better support the user's neck, increasing the safety and flexibility of the neck support pillow and reducing neck stagnation.
[0019] 3. To rotate the turntable, press the knob. The knob will slide inside the turntable, and the turntable will press against multiple limit posts during the sliding process. After the knob is adjusted, the support height of the support plate can be changed. The self-locking of the knob will fix the support plate again, which makes it easy to adjust the height of the support plate so that it fits better with the neck during use, making it suitable for a wider range of people and providing a better user experience.

[0032] The following is combined Figures 1-4 This invention describes an adjustable cervical pillow for preventing low intracranial pressure headaches, comprising: a head pillow 100, a neck support pillow 200, and massage blocks 500. The head pillow 100 has a one-sided limiting groove 600 on its upper surface, extending arc-shaped to both sides. The neck support pillow 200 is fixedly mounted on one side of the head pillow 100. A support box 300 is movably connected inside the neck support pillow 200. A support column 400 is movably connected inside the support box 300. A support rod 404 is movably connected inside the support column 400. A support plate 405 is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 404. The support plate 405 extends arc-shaped to both sides, and its outer surface is in contact with the inner wall of the neck support pillow 200. A fixing plate 401 is fixedly connected to one end of the support column 400. A swing arm 403 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 401. Massage blocks 500 are evenly distributed on the surface of the neck support pillow 200 away from the head pillow 100 to provide neck support.
[0033] In this embodiment, the neck support pillow 200 extends upward at both sides, and one of the inclined surfaces of the neck support pillow 200 fits against the head pillow 100. When lying down, the head rests on the head pillow 100, and the neck support pillow 200 can support the neck during use. Since the human neck structure is generally curved, the height of the neck support pillow 200 is higher than that of the head pillow 100. This allows the upper part of the neck support pillow 200 to be close to the lower part of the neck when the person is lying flat, and the person's head to be close to the upper part of the head pillow 100. The upper part of the head pillow 100 supports the head, and the person forms a neck-high-head-low position when sleeping, which has a better support performance for the cervical spine.
[0034] The massage block 500 has round bumps that are evenly distributed on the surface of the neck support pillow 200. The bumps on the top of the massage block 500 can provide local support for the neck during use. When the user presses down on the massage block 500, the massage block 500 massages the neck through the evenly distributed bumps to relieve neck fatigue. The massage block 500 has filling material inside the neck support pillow 200, which is generally rubber and memory foam. It provides good support for the massage block 500 without putting too much pressure on the neck.
[0035] The headrest 100 has a limiting groove 600 on its upper part. When the user is asleep, the slope of the limiting groove 600 allows the head to be positioned at the bottom center of the limiting groove 600, reducing head movement and giving the neck support pillow 200 good support stability. The neck support pillow 200 is supported by a support box 300 inside. The support box 300 is a rigid support and has good support performance for the neck.
[0036] When the user needs to lie on their side, they need to rotate the fixing plate 401 inside the support box 300. The fixing plate 401 supports the internal support rod 404. An arc-shaped support plate 405 is installed above the support rod 404. The arc-shaped support plate 405 can better support the user's neck. By adjusting the support angle of the support plate 405, the user's neck can be better supported, increasing the safety and flexibility of the neck support pillow 200 and reducing the user's neck from being suspended.
[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rotating shaft 402 is movably connected to the axis of the support column 400. One outer wall of the rotating shaft 402 meshes with one outer wall of the support rod 404. One end of the rotating shaft 402 is fixedly connected to a turntable 406. The turntable 406 rotates inside the fixed plate 401. A knob 407 is movably connected to the axis of the turntable 406. Multiple limiting posts 408 are arranged around the knob 407. One end of each limiting post 408 passes through the turntable 406 and slides inside the fixed plate 401.
[0038] In this embodiment, one end of the rotating shaft 402 is inserted into the interior of the support column 400 and rotates at the axis of the support column 400. First, the fixing plate 401 is fixed to one end of the support column 400. The rotating plate 406 is rotated to drive the rotating shaft 402 to rotate. Multiple annular grooves are evenly spaced on the surface of the rotating shaft 402. There are toothed blocks inside the annular grooves. Toothed blocks are also installed on one side of the support rod 404. The toothed blocks are located in the interior area of the support column 400. The gear is located above the rotating shaft 402. The support rod 404 moves on the upper surface of the rotating shaft 402 through the meshing toothed blocks. During the movement, the support rod 404 can adjust the distance between the support plate 405 and the support box 300, which can better adjust the support height of the support box 300. It can adjust the support height to suit the shoulder width of different users, making it more flexible in use.
[0039] To rotate turntable 406, knob 407 needs to be pressed. Knob 407 slides inside turntable 406. During this sliding process, turntable 406 presses against multiple limiting posts 408. Each limiting post 408 consists of a support spring, a first magnetic block, and a second magnetic block. The support spring is located inside fixed plate 401, and a guide telescopic rod is installed at the axis of the support spring. The guide telescopic rod connects to the first magnetic block, which magnetically attracts the second magnetic block. The length of the second magnetic block is the same as the wall thickness of turntable 406. When knob 407 is pressed, it presses against the second magnetic block. When the second magnetic block overlaps with the wall thickness of the turntable 406, the knob 407 rotates through the gap between the first and second magnetic blocks. After the knob 407 has finished adjusting, the support spring will squeeze the first magnetic block, and the first magnetic block will lift the second magnetic block. The first magnetic block will be suspended in the gap between the knob 407 and the turntable 406, which can stop the turntable 406 from rotating. When the turntable 406 is not rotating, the support height of the support plate 405 is fixed. The self-locking of the knob 407 makes it easy to adjust the support plate 405.
[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a baffle 301 is fixedly connected to one side of the support box 300. The turntable 406 rotates inside the baffle 301. An arc groove 303 is provided on one side of the baffle 301. One end of the swing arm 403 is inserted into the arc groove 303 and slides along the inner wall of the baffle 301. A limit rod 304 is movably inserted into the inside of the baffle 301. Multiple limit holes 4011 are equidistantly provided on one side surface of the fixed plate 401. One end of the limit rod 304 is inserted into the inside of one of the limit holes 4011. Two support blocks 302 are movably arranged inside the support box 300. The two support blocks 302 are located below the two ends of the support column 400, respectively.
[0041] In this embodiment, the user lies on their side above the neck support pillow 200. The baffle 301 closes one side of the support box 300, leaving only the swing arm 403, limit rod 304, turntable 406, and knob 407 exposed to the outside, reducing dust entry into the support box 300. Swinging the swing arm 403 causes it to slide along the arc-shaped groove 303, rotating the support column 400. The surface of the support box 300 has multiple oblong holes through which the support rod 404 passes to connect to the outside and supports the support plate 405. When the swing arm 403 needs to be rotated, the limiting rod 304 needs to be pulled out. The limiting rod 304 will disengage from the limiting hole 4011. The limiting rod 304 has a boss in the middle. The boss slides inside the support box 300, so that the limiting rod 304 cannot be completely pulled out and can only slide within a set range. When the support column 400 rotates, the two support blocks 302 below can be well positioned and supported. By changing the rotation angle of the support column 400, the support angle of the support plate 405 can be adjusted to better fit the user's neck and increase the support performance.
[0042] Working principle:
[0043] First, the head pillow 100 and neck support pillow 200 support the neck and head of the user respectively. Since the human neck structure is generally curved, the neck support pillow 200 is higher than the head pillow 100. This allows the upper part of the neck support pillow 200 to be close to the lower part of the neck when the user is lying flat, and the head to be close to the upper part of the head pillow 100. The upper part of the head pillow 100 supports the head, creating a neck-high-head-low position when the user is sleeping, which provides good support for the cervical spine. The upper protrusion of the massage block 500 can provide local support for the neck during use. The massage block 500 has filling material inside the neck support pillow 200, which is generally rubber and memory foam, etc., which provides good support for the massage block 500 without putting too much pressure on the neck.
[0044] When a person lies down, the limiting groove 600 on the top of the head pillow 100 allows the user's head to be positioned at the center bottom of the limiting groove 600 while asleep, reducing head movement and providing good support stability for the neck support pillow 200. The neck support pillow 200 is supported internally by a support box 300, which provides rigid support and good neck support. When the user needs to lie on their side, they need to rotate the fixing plate 401 inside the support box 300. The fixing plate 401 supports the internal support rod 404. An arc-shaped support plate 405 is installed above the support rod 404, which provides better support for the user's neck. By adjusting the support angle of the support plate 405, better support for the user's neck can be achieved, increasing the safety and flexibility of the neck support pillow 200 and reducing neck stagnation.
[0045] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0046] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements 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 should be determined by the appended claims.
