Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headrest technology, and in particular to a novel headrest. Background Technology
[0002] During daily work, driving, or rest, the headrest, as an important component supporting the head and neck, directly affects the user experience and health through its comfort and support.
[0003] Existing headrests use only a single type of sponge material, lacking effective internal support, and are prone to collapsing and unstable support after long-term use; or they rely too much on a rigid frame, which is too firm and does not conform well, easily causing a feeling of pressure.
[0004] In terms of breathability, existing designs mostly rely on the pores of the surface material, lacking internal air circulation channels. Heat and moisture easily accumulate when the head is resting on the pillow, leading to noticeable stuffiness, especially during prolonged use. Neck support is also not precise enough; most headrests are not designed for the physiological curvature of the neck, resulting in a lack of proper support and potentially causing muscle fatigue. Furthermore, some headrests have sharp edges that can compress the skin upon contact, affecting the fit.
[0005] Therefore, a new type of headrest is needed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a novel headrest that can effectively solve the problems mentioned above.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A novel headrest includes a sponge headrest with a support bar core inside for support. The support bar core has several ventilation holes to allow ventilation. An elongated support core is also provided on one side of the inside of the sponge headrest for supporting the neck.
[0009] Preferably, the sponge headrest has rounded corners on all four sides, making it fit the curve of the neck better.
[0010] Preferably, the elongated support shaft is located at the front of the support bar shaft.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This device features a layered support structure consisting of a support bar core and a long support core. The support bar core provides stable overall support for the head, preventing excessive collapse of the headrest. The long support core is specifically designed to fit the physiological curvature of the neck, effectively supporting the neck, maintaining the natural physiological posture of the neck, and avoiding neck and shoulder muscle tension caused by insufficient support during prolonged use, thus improving the comfort of using the device.
[0013] 2. The ventilation holes of the support bar core in this device work synergistically with the porous structure of the sponge itself to guide air to form convection inside the headrest, quickly removing heat and moisture generated by the head and neck, significantly improving the stuffy and uncomfortable feeling during long-term use.

[0017] In the picture: 1. Sponge headrest; 2. Support bar core; 3. Long support core; 4. Ventilation holes. Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a novel headrest includes a sponge headrest 1, with a support bar core 2 inside the sponge headrest 1 for support. The support bar core 2 has several ventilation holes 4 to allow ventilation through the ventilation holes 4. A long support core 3 is also provided on one side inside the sponge headrest 1 for supporting the neck.
[0020] Furthermore, the sponge headrest 1 features rounded corners on all four sides, making it fit the curve of the neck more closely.
[0021] Furthermore, the elongated support shaft core 3 is located at the front of the support bar shaft core 2.
[0022] In the above, the sponge headrest 1 is made of high-density memory foam, which has excellent resilience and deformation adaptability. It can automatically adjust its shape according to the pressure of the user's head and neck to improve the fit. At the same time, its porous structure itself has a certain degree of breathability, which can be combined with the ventilation holes 4 described later to enhance the overall ventilation effect.
[0023] The four sides of the sponge headrest 1 are rounded with a radius of 5-10mm. This design eliminates sharp corners, allowing the headrest edges to more naturally conform to the transition curve of the neck and head, avoiding discomfort caused by pressure from sharp corners. In particular, it can reduce the formation of pressure marks on the neck skin during long-term use.
[0024] In the above, the support bar core 2 is embedded in the sponge headrest 1 near the middle, serving as the main support frame of the headrest. It is made of ABS engineering plastic injection molding. ABS material has both high strength and toughness, can withstand head pressure without easily deforming, and is also lightweight, avoiding the headrest from being too heavy overall.
[0025] The support bar core 2 is long and narrow, and its length is adapted to the length of the sponge headrest 1. For example, when the length of the sponge headrest is 30cm, the length of the support bar core is 28cm, and the cross-section is arc-shaped to enhance the fit and support effect with the head.
[0026] The support strip core 2 has a number of evenly distributed ventilation holes 4. The ventilation holes 4 are circular through holes with a diameter of 3-5 mm, and there are 10-15 of them. The center-to-center distance between two adjacent holes is 10-15 mm. The ventilation holes 4 penetrate the upper and lower surfaces of the support strip core 2, which allows air to form convection inside the sponge headrest 1: external air enters through the porous structure of the sponge, flows through the ventilation holes 4 to the inside of the headrest, and then carries away the heat and moisture generated by the head, which significantly improves the breathability of the headrest.
[0027] In the above, the long support shaft core 3 is also embedded inside the sponge headrest 1, located at the front of the support bar shaft core 2, that is, on the side close to the user's neck. The distance between the two is 3-5cm, forming a layered support structure of "head support-neck support".
[0028] The long support core 3 is made of TPU elastic plastic, which has good flexibility and can deform to a certain extent when subjected to neck pressure. This ensures support strength while avoiding the pressure caused by overly rigid materials. Its length is 2 / 3 of the length of the support bar core 2. For example, when the support bar core is 28cm long, the long support core is 18-19cm long. Its cross-section is an arc shape that matches the physiological curvature of the human neck. It can accurately fit the curve of the back of the neck, providing targeted support for the neck and relieving neck muscle fatigue caused by prolonged looking down or looking up.
[0029] In the above, both the support strip core 2 and the long support core 3 are fixed inside the sponge headrest 1 by an embedded molding process: during the sponge foaming process, the pre-made support strip core 2 and the long support core 3 are placed into the foaming mold with the support strip core in the middle and the long support core in the front, and then the sponge raw material is injected; after the sponge foaming and curing, the core and the sponge form an integral structure, which is firmly connected and prevents the core from shifting during use.
[0030] In the above-mentioned use, the user's head rests on the sponge headrest 1. The support bar core 2 provides overall support for the head through its high-strength structure, preventing the headrest from collapsing excessively. The long support bar core 3, due to its front position and the arc design that adapts to the curve of the neck, specifically supports the neck and maintains the natural physiological curvature of the neck. At the same time, the ventilation holes 4 on the support bar core 2, together with the porous structure of the sponge itself, form an air circulation channel, continuously removing the heat and moisture generated by the head and neck, achieving a synergistic improvement in support and comfort.
[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
