Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, specifically to a skin-friendly memory foam pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Sponge pillows are bedding made of polyurethane, widely popular for their excellent support and comfort. They offer good breathability and elasticity, are not easily deformed, and some products even feature ventilation holes to enhance heat dissipation, making them suitable for people with different sleeping positions. The material is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean and maintain, making it an ideal choice for those seeking healthy sleep and scientific neck support. It can significantly improve sleep quality and is a common high-tech sleep product in modern homes. Sponge pillows come in various shapes, from flat pillows that promote supine sleep to concave pillows that support the waist and neck with raised sides. However, most sponge pillows have a fixed shape and cannot be customized to meet real-time customer needs. Manufacturing multiple types of pillows also takes up a lot of space in the home. A new type of pillow is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model proposes a skin-friendly memory foam pillow, comprising a hard foam base, the front of which is fitted against the back of a soft foam pad, and an elastic pillowcase covering the pillow. The front of the hard foam base has several transverse grooves, with inflatable columns embedded within the grooves. The inflatable columns are connected by air tubes, which are embedded in the longitudinal air channels on the front of the hard foam base. The upper and lower ends of the air tubes have inlet and outlet components that protrude from the pillowcase. The middle half of each inflatable column is a telescopic spring surface, which is fitted against the bottom of the groove.

[0004] Furthermore, the pillowcase is equipped with limiting rings on the top and bottom. The retaining rings at the top and bottom ends of the air tube mate with the inner end face of the limiting ring. The air tube is inserted into the inflation nozzle at the top end. After the inflation nozzle passes through the upper limiting ring, it is threadedly connected to the fastening nut. The fastening nut abuts against the outer end face of the upper limiting ring. The air tube is inserted into the exhaust pipe at the bottom end. After the exhaust pipe passes through the lower limiting ring, it is threadedly connected to the exhaust cap. The exhaust cap abuts against the outer end face of the lower limiting ring.

[0005] Furthermore, the hard foam seat is made of gel memory foam, while the soft foam pad is made of skin-friendly memory foam.

[0006] Furthermore, several longitudinal deformation grooves are opened in the middle of the back of the soft sponge pad.

[0007] Furthermore, the two sides of the pillowcase are connected by elastic straps.

[0008] Furthermore, a vertical zipper is provided in the middle of the back of the pillowcase.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model fully combines the soft and hard properties of memory foam. By inflating the air column through the air nozzle at the air tube head, the telescopic spring surface is extended, causing the two ends of the air column to bend and lift the sides of the soft sponge pad, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the pillow shape and meeting different usage scenarios. The degree of lifting of the sides of the soft sponge pad can be controlled by the amount of air. The operator can unscrew the vent cap to release air, which has the characteristics of simple operation and strong applicability. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0020] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a skin-friendly memory foam pillow includes a hard foam base 1, which is made of gel memory foam. The front of the hard foam base 1 is attached to the back of a soft foam pad 2, which is also made of skin-friendly memory foam. Several longitudinal deformation grooves 201 are opened in the middle of the back of the soft foam pad 2. The pillow is covered with an elastic pillowcase 3, which is connected on both sides by a telescopic strap 301. A longitudinal zipper 10 is provided in the middle of the back of the pillowcase 3. Limiting rings 5 ​​are provided on the top and bottom of the pillowcase 3. Several transverse through grooves 101 are opened on the front of the hard foam base 1. An air column 4 is built into the through groove 101. The middle half of the air column 4 is a telescopic spring surface 402, which is attached to the bottom of the through groove 101.

[0021] In this embodiment, each inflatable column 4 is connected by an air pipe 401. The air pipe 401 is embedded in the longitudinal air passage 102 on the front of the hard sponge seat 1. The retaining rings 403 at the upper and lower ends of the air pipe 401 are engaged with the inner end face of the limiting ring 5. The upper end of the air pipe 401 is inserted into the inflation nozzle 6. After the inflation nozzle 6 passes through the upper limiting ring 5, it is threadedly connected to the fastening nut 7. The fastening nut 7 abuts against the outer end face of the upper limiting ring 5. The lower end of the air pipe 401 is inserted into the exhaust pipe 8. After the exhaust pipe 8 passes through the lower limiting ring 5, it is threadedly connected to the exhaust cap 9. The exhaust cap 9 abuts against the outer end face of the lower limiting ring 5.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0023] When a concave pillow is needed, connect the air pump's exhaust pipe to the air nozzle 6. The air pump inflates air into the air pipe 401, which then flows into each inflation column 4, causing the telescopic spring surface 402 to gradually extend. At this time, the inflation column 4 changes from a straight column to a curved column, and the two wings of the soft sponge pad 2 rise with the ends of the curved column, forming a concave pillow state. During this process, the deformation groove 201 and the telescopic band 301 provide leeway for smoother deformation. When a flat pillow is needed, loosen the exhaust cap 9 to slowly release the air from the inflation column 4 until the pillow surface returns to a flat state. When the pillow needs to be washed, unzip the zipper 10, unscrew the fastening nut 7 and the exhaust cap 9, and the contents can be removed from the pillowcase using the elasticity of the pillowcase 3.

[0024] This invention can inflate the air column 4 through the air tube 401, thereby extending the telescopic spring surface 402, causing the two ends of the air column 4 to bend and lift up both sides of the soft sponge pad 2, so as to adjust the shape of the pillow and meet the purpose of different usage scenarios. The degree of lifting of both sides of the soft sponge pad 2 can be controlled by the amount of air. It has the characteristics of simple operation and strong applicability.

[0025] 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 claimed utility model.
