Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal pillow technology, and in particular to a slow-release medicinal pillow made from a compound traditional Chinese medicine for sleep aid. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing health awareness of people, various Chinese herbal pillows have been invented. Their overall function relies on the effects of Chinese herbs such as buckwheat and cassia seeds to improve sleep and other problems.

[0003] Ordinary herbal pillows use herbs directly stuffed into the pillow core as filling material. This structure has obvious defects: on the one hand, it is difficult to precisely control the amount of herbs used. Excessive filling will result in an overpowering herbal smell, which will stimulate the user's olfactory center and affect sleep quality. On the other hand, the herbs continue to evaporate, and the release amount cannot be adjusted according to the user's needs. Even during non-use periods in the daytime, the herbs will continue to release their effects, resulting in waste of herbs and a shortened effective lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a slow-release medicated pillow made from traditional Chinese medicine to aid sleep. The aim is to ensure that the medicated pillow releases its medicinal effects only when in use and not when not in use, thereby extending the effective period of the medicine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in one embodiment of this utility model, the sleep-aiding traditional Chinese medicine compound sustained-release pillow comprises:

[0006] The pillow body has an inner cavity that extends through both ends, and a plurality of ventilation holes that connect to the inner cavity are opened at the top of the pillow body;

[0007] A fixing plate is provided on the side wall of the inner cavity and spaced apart from the top wall of the inner cavity. The fixing plate has multiple ventilation holes and divides the inner cavity into an upper active space and a lower Chinese medicine filling cavity.

[0008] A movable plate is located at the bottom of the fixed plate. The movable plate is connected to the top wall of the inner cavity via a connecting rod. The movable plate is used to seal or open the vent holes of the fixed plate.

[0009] When the user is not resting their head on the medicated pillow, the movable plate is attached to the fixed plate and seals the ventilation holes of the fixed plate. When the user rests their head on the medicated pillow, the top wall of the pillow body is pressed downward, causing the movable plate to detach from the fixed plate, thereby opening the ventilation holes of the fixed plate.

[0010] In one embodiment, the plurality of vent holes of the fixing plate are arranged in an array.

[0011] In one embodiment, the movable plate has multiple slots, and the slots are spaced at intervals corresponding to the ventilation holes on the fixed plate.

[0012] In one embodiment, the connecting rod is connected to the top wall of the inner cavity by an elastic gasket.

[0013] In one embodiment, a plurality of springs are provided between the movable plate and the bottom wall of the inner cavity.

[0014] In one embodiment, a medicine storage device is provided inside the Chinese medicine filling cavity. The medicine storage device is slidably disposed in the inner cavity and can extend or be inserted from the openings at both ends of the inner cavity.

[0015] In one embodiment, a plurality of the springs are located in the middle of the inner cavity and form a row, the drug storage device comprising:

[0016] Two medicine storage boxes are located on both sides of the spring.

[0017] A connecting plate is located at one end of the two medicine storage boxes, and the connecting plate is used to connect the two medicine storage boxes.

[0018] In one embodiment, the outer side of the connecting plate is provided with a handle.

[0019] In one embodiment, the top surface, fixed plate, and movable plate of the pillow body are arranged in an arc shape with a central depression and convex sides.

[0020] In one embodiment, the pillow body is made of silicone.

[0021] In the technical solution provided by this utility model, when the user is not using the medicinal pillow, the movable plate is attached to the fixed plate, sealing the air holes of the fixed plate. When the user uses the pillow, the top wall of the pillow body presses downward, causing the movable plate to detach from the fixed plate, thus opening the air holes of the fixed plate. Compared with the prior art, traditional Chinese medicine pillows are always in an open state, while this solution, through a pressure-triggered dynamic sealing structure, ensures that the medicine is released only when the user actually uses the pillow. In the prior art, the uncontrollable volatilization of the medicine leads to the premature depletion of the effective ingredients. This solution blocks the volatilization path during non-use periods, extending the effective period of the medicine. Attached Figure Description

[0030] 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.

[0031] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0032] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0033] In existing technologies, herbal pillows typically fill the pillow core with medicinal herbs, resulting in excessively high concentrations of medicinal aroma that may irritate the user's sense of smell and affect sleep quality. Furthermore, the medicinal components continue to evaporate even when not in use, shortening the effective period and causing waste. For example, even when unused during the day, the pillow continues to release its medicinal effects, leading to a significant loss of effective medicinal components by the time it is actually used at night.

[0034] To address these issues, a structure capable of controlling the timing of drug release is needed. Analysis revealed that existing technologies cannot prevent drug evaporation when the pillow is not in use, while traditional sealed structures are difficult to open quickly during use. Therefore, a solution was considered that dynamically adjustable ventilation channels are incorporated inside the pillow body, using body pressure to trigger the opening and closing of ventilation holes 6, thus achieving on-demand drug release.

[0035] Therefore, this application proposes a sleep-aiding traditional Chinese medicine compound sustained-release medicated pillow 1000. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1 to 4 The 1000ml sleep-aid herbal compound sustained-release pillow includes:

[0036] The pillow body 1 has an inner cavity that extends through both ends, and multiple ventilation holes 6 are opened at the top of the pillow body 1 to connect to the inner cavity.

[0037] Fixing plate 2 is located on the side wall of the inner cavity and is spaced apart from the top wall of the inner cavity. The fixing plate 2 has multiple ventilation holes 6. The fixing plate 2 divides the inner cavity into an upper active space 11 and a lower Chinese medicine filling cavity 12.

[0038] Movable plate 3 is located at the bottom of fixed plate 2. Movable plate 3 is connected to the top wall of the inner cavity through connecting rod 31. Movable plate 3 is used to seal or open the vent hole 6 of fixed plate 2.

[0039] When the user is not using the medicine pillow, the movable plate 3 is attached to the fixed plate 2 and seals the air vents 6 of the fixed plate 2. When the user uses the medicine pillow, the top wall of the pillow body 1 is pressed downward to push the movable plate 3 away from the fixed plate 2, thereby opening the air vents 6 of the fixed plate 2.

[0040] The inner cavity of the pillow body 1 refers to the hollow structure that runs through the inside of the pillow body. This can be achieved using a hollow shell molded from silicone, used to house the movable components and the medicine storage device 5. The vent holes 6 of the fixed plate 2 are regularly arranged through holes on the plate body. These can be formed into an array of holes using a stamping process, used to establish a communication path between the medicine filling cavity 12 and the external environment. The sealing function of the movable plate 3 refers to blocking the vent holes 6 when the plate body contacts the fixed plate 2. This can be achieved by covering the edges of the plate body with elastic rubber material to achieve an airtight fit, used to control the timing of drug evaporation. The elastic connection of the connecting rod 31 refers to the buffer structure set between the rod body and the top wall. This can be achieved by using a rubber gasket as the connecting medium, used to transmit pressure and allow the movable plate 3 to move up and down.

[0041] Specifically, when the user's head touches the top of the pillow, the top wall is compressed and deforms downwards, causing the movable plate 3 to detach from the fixed plate 2 via the connecting rod 31. At this time, the vent holes 6 of the fixed plate 2 are connected to the movable space 11, and the medicinal components in the herbal filling cavity 12 diffuse outwards through the vent holes 6. When the user leaves the pillow, the deformation of the top wall returns to its original position, causing the movable plate 3 to reset and reseal the vent holes 6 of the fixed plate 2, blocking the evaporation channel. The array of vent holes 6 of the fixed plate 2 matches the displacement stroke of the movable plate 3, ensuring that a uniformly distributed evaporation channel is formed when the holes are opened.

[0042] Compared to existing technologies, the ventilation holes 6 of traditional Chinese medicine pillows remain open at all times. This solution, however, utilizes a pressure-triggered dynamic sealing structure to ensure that the medicine is released only when the user actually uses the pillow. Existing technologies suffer from uncontrolled drug evaporation, leading to premature depletion of active ingredients. This solution blocks the evaporation pathway during non-use periods, extending the effective period of the medicine. Simultaneously, it avoids excessive medicinal odor that continuously stimulates the sense of smell, thus improving sleep comfort.

[0043] This application further proposes that the multiple vent holes 6 of the fixing plate 2 be arranged in an array. The array arrangement refers to a structural form in which the vent holes 6 are evenly distributed according to geometric rules. Specifically, this can be achieved using a square grid or a circular radial arrangement, forming a repeating distribution pattern through standardized hole placement. This arrangement ensures that the vent holes 6 form a uniform coverage on the surface of the fixing plate 2, avoiding excessive or insufficient air permeability in local areas, thereby controlling the spatial balance of the volatilization rate of the traditional Chinese medicine.

[0044] This application further proposes that the movable plate 3 has multiple slots 33, and the slots 33 are spaced at intervals corresponding to the ventilation holes 6 on the fixed plate 2.

[0045] Specifically, when the user is not using the medicated pillow, the movable plate 3 is attached to the fixed plate 2 under the action of the spring 4 or the elastic connecting rod 31. At this time, the gap between the strip-shaped opening 33 and the ventilation hole 6 of the fixed plate 2 is misaligned, and the ventilation hole 6 is blocked by the solid part of the movable plate 3, forming a sealed state. When the user's head presses against the top wall of the pillow body 1, the movable plate 3 is pulled down by the connecting rod 31. At this time, the volatile Chinese medicine in the Chinese medicine filling cavity 12 located below is diffused through the strip-shaped opening 33 and the ventilation hole 6 to ensure the diffusion effect.

[0046] This application further proposes a connection between the connecting rod 31 and the top wall of the inner cavity via an elastic gasket 32. The elastic gasket 32 ​​is a thin, sheet-like component with elastic deformation capability, specifically made of silicone or rubber, used to form a buffer interface between the contact surface of the connecting rod 31 and the top wall. The elastic gasket 32 ​​deforms under pressure to absorb mechanical impact and returns to its original shape after the pressure is released to maintain the sealing of the connection structure. This design improves the comfort of the user's head.

[0047] This application further proposes that multiple springs 4 are provided between the movable plate 3 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity.

[0048] Specifically, when the user's head is not in contact with the medicated pillow, the spring 4 is in a naturally extended state and presses the movable plate 3 against the bottom of the fixed plate 2, at which time the ventilation hole 6 of the fixed plate 2 is completely sealed; when the user's head presses against the top wall of the medicated pillow, the connecting rod 31 drives the movable plate 3 to move downward against the elastic force of the spring 4, so that a gap channel is formed between the fixed plate 2 and the movable plate 3, and the medicinal components in the Chinese medicine filling cavity 12 diffuse outward through the ventilation hole 6; when the user gets up and leaves, the elastic restoring force of the spring 4 pushes the movable plate 3 to re-fit against the bottom of the fixed plate 2, realizing the automatic sealing of the ventilation hole 6.

[0049] This application further proposes a sleep-aiding traditional Chinese medicine compound sustained-release pillow 1000, including a medicine storage device 5 disposed in the traditional Chinese medicine filling cavity 12. The medicine storage device 5 is slidably disposed in the inner cavity and can extend or be inserted from the openings at both ends of the inner cavity.

[0050] The medicine storage device 5 refers to a container structure used to hold traditional Chinese medicine materials. Specifically, it can be implemented using a box structure with ventilation holes 6. The box can be filled with granular or powdered traditional Chinese medicine ingredients. The sliding arrangement refers to a movable fit between the medicine storage device 5 and the inner cavity sidewall. This can be achieved using a sliding rail and groove fit structure, allowing the medicine storage device 5 to move horizontally along the length of the inner cavity. The two end openings refer to through-hole structures on both ends of the inner cavity that allow the medicine storage device 5 to pass through. These can be circular or rectangular through-holes, with the opening size matching the shape of the medicine storage device 5.

[0051] Specifically, the medicine storage device 5 is configured as an independent unit that can slide horizontally within the herbal filling cavity 12. When it is necessary to replace the herbal material, the operator can push the medicine storage device 5 to slide it completely out from one end opening of the inner cavity, fill it with new herbal material, and then push it back into the inner cavity. Under normal use, the medicine storage device 5 is completely retracted inside the inner cavity, with its outer surface in contact with the inner cavity sidewall to limit shaking. The sliding path of the medicine storage device 5 is guided by the straight cavity structure of the inner cavity, and limiting flanges can be provided at both ends to prevent the device from accidentally falling off.

[0052] This application further proposes a sleep-aiding traditional Chinese medicine compound sustained-release pillow 1000, in which multiple springs 4 are located in the middle of the inner cavity and form a row. The medicine storage device 5 includes two medicine storage boxes 51 and a connecting plate 52. The two medicine storage boxes 51 are located on both sides of the springs 4, and the connecting plate 52 is located at one end of the two medicine storage boxes 51 and is used to connect the two medicine storage boxes 51.

[0053] The springs 4 arranged in a row refer to multiple springs 4 linearly arranged along the length of the inner cavity. Specifically, this can be achieved by using cylindrical helical springs 4 evenly spaced. This arrangement ensures that the movable plate 3 undergoes uniform elastic deformation under pressure, thereby balancing the sliding resistance of the medicine storage device 5. The medicine storage device 5 includes two medicine storage boxes 51, which are separate container structures. Specifically, they can be rectangular boxes filled with different types of medicinal materials. This structure allows users to individually change or adjust the ratio of medicinal materials on both sides according to their needs, avoiding interference with efficacy caused by mixing different medicinal materials. The connecting plate 52, located at one end of the two medicine storage boxes 51, is a transverse connecting component. Specifically, it can be implemented using an injection-molded one-piece plastic plate. This design ensures that the two medicine storage boxes 51 move synchronously during sliding, preventing unilateral jamming and tilting of the medicine storage device 5.

[0054] Specifically, when the user's head contacts the top surface of the pillow body 1, the movable plate 3 moves downward under pressure, and the spring 4 is compressed, pushing the medicine storage device 5 to slide outward from the openings at both ends of the inner cavity. At this time, the medicine in the medicine storage box 51 releases its effects through the vent 6. When it is necessary to replace the medicine, the user can pull out the medicine storage device 5 completely through the handle 53, separating the two medicine storage boxes 51 so that the medicine can be added or replaced separately. The connecting plate 52 maintains the parallel state of the two medicine storage boxes 51 throughout the sliding process, ensuring the stability of the movement trajectory of the medicine storage device 5 in the inner cavity.

[0055] This application further proposes that the outer side of the connecting plate 52 is provided with a handle position 53. The handle position 53 refers to a structure provided on the outer side of the connecting plate 52 to facilitate finger gripping. Specifically, it can be implemented by means of a groove or a protrusion structure, and its function is to provide a force point to facilitate the pulling operation of the medicine storage device 5.

[0056] The present application further proposes a sleep-aiding traditional Chinese medicine compound sustained-release pillow 1000. The top surface of the pillow main body 1, the fixed plate 2, and the movable plate 3 are arranged in an arc shape with a concave middle and convex sides.

[0057] Among them, the arc shape with a concave middle and convex sides refers to the structural contour presenting a form with a central depression and upward bending on both sides. Specifically, it can be realized by the die-casting molding process. The depression depth can be 3 - 5 cm, and the convex height on both sides can be 2 - 4 cm. This shape can conform to the curve of the human head and neck, forming a support and wrapping area when the user lies down. The arc-shaped settings of the fixed plate 2 and the movable plate 3 can maintain the airtightness when the two are in contact, and form a uniform air-permeable channel gap when the movable plate 3 moves downward.

[0058] The present application further proposes that the pillow main body 1 is made of silica gel. Among them, the silica gel material refers to a flexible material made of thermosulfurized silicone rubber. Specifically, it can be realized by adding reinforcing fillers to methyl vinyl silicone rubber, and has air permeability, elasticity, and chemical stability. In the solution, the silica gel material adjusts the drug release rate through its air permeability, and realizes the linkage control of the movable plate 3 through its elastic deformation ability, avoiding structural deformation caused by long-term pressure.

[0059] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present utility model by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
