Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a portable nap pillow, especially a portable nap pillow suitable for students, and belongs to the technical field of daily necessities. Background Technology
[0002] A midday nap allows the brain and all bodily systems to relax and rest, improving learning and work efficiency. However, most current nap pillows are fixed structures, bulky, difficult to store, and lack breathability, leading to stuffiness after prolonged use. While some products employ a folding design, their low compression ratio and complex unfolding process prevent them from effectively conforming to facial contours.
[0003] The Chinese utility model patent application (patent number) CN222548898U, titled "A Portable Nap Pillow," features an inflatable design that, while increasing the compression ratio, requires the user to blow air into it, which can easily lead to excitement and affect sleep efficiency.
[0004] Existing pillowcases have non-removable and non-washable materials, which easily breed bacteria and fail to meet students' health needs. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the problems of existing technology, this utility model provides a portable nap pillow that is portable, efficient, breathable, comfortable and easy to clean, so as to suit the daily use of students.
[0006] A portable nap pillow includes a pillow body, which is a folding support structure. The interior is connected by adhesive joints and can be stretched to form hexagonal honeycomb units. Multiple hexagonal honeycomb units can be folded continuously to form an accordion-like structure. The pillow body, left side panel, and right side panel form a whole. The overall size after compression is adapted to the size of a book.
[0007] The top of the pillow body folding support structure is curved, and the top curved surface is formed by the gradual change of curvature of the longitudinal and transverse curves to fit the human face; the folding support structure and the human body fit together, and the top curved surface layer of the folding support structure fits the face.
[0008] A replaceable cotton fiber layer covers the top curved surface of the pillow body. This replaceable cotton fiber layer, covering the top curved surface of the folded support structure, acts as a cushion. The replaceable cotton fiber layer is resilient and reduces the uneven feel of the honeycomb cells.
[0009] The replaceable cotton fiber layer is detachably fixed to the right side panel via a side connection. Specifically, the replaceable cotton fiber layer is detachably connected to the right side panel via side Velcro or snap fasteners.
[0010] The volume ratio of the pillow body in its compressed state to its unfolded state is 1:4. The honeycomb units are continuously folded through flexible connectors, with a compression volume ratio of 1:4, forming a stable mechanical support after unfolding.
[0011] The replaceable cotton fiber layer is made from plant pulp mixed with calming herbal fibers and naturally emits a sleep-inducing aroma.
[0012] The inner wall of the hexagonal honeycomb unit of the folded support structure is a hexagonal honeycomb pore, and the hexagonal honeycomb pores are evenly distributed.
[0013] The pillow body is made of biodegradable plant fiber pulp, which can be recycled after disposal.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The accordion-style honeycomb structure of this invention's pillow body is simple to operate; it can be used by stretching and folded up by horizontal pushing.
[0016] The pillow itself is highly portable and has a high compression ratio, with an unfolded to compressed volume ratio of 4:1. When compressed and folded horizontally, its volume and weight are similar to that of a book, making it easy for students to put in their schoolbags and carry.
[0017] This portable nap pillow boasts excellent breathability and conforms perfectly to the curves of the face. The gentle curve of the top surface gently follows the contours of the face, enhancing comfort. A replaceable cotton fiber layer covering the top of the pillow smooths out any unevenness, providing a soft and comfortable feel that promotes sleepiness. The replaceable cotton fiber layer is easily removable and unfolded for use; simply tear off the folded layer on the right side. The side is detachable for convenient cleaning and hygiene.
[0018] The replaceable cotton fiber layer contains plant fragrances to improve the quality of your nap. The replaceable cotton fiber layer is made of pulp, and during the pulp processing, it is mixed with herbal fibers with a calming scent. The paper itself emits a herbal fragrance, which is calming and helps you sleep.
[0019] It is made entirely of environmentally friendly pulp materials and is low-cost. The entire product is constructed from plant fiber pulp, which can be recycled and processed back into pulp after disposal, thus achieving circularity. Even after being discarded, it is easily biodegradable and does not increase environmental pressure. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Reference Figure 1 A portable nap pillow includes a pillow body 4, which is a foldable support structure. Internally, it is connected by adhesive joints 5. When stretched, it forms hexagonal honeycomb units. Multiple hexagonal honeycomb units are folded continuously to form an accordion-like structure. The pillow body 4, left side panel 1, and right side panel 2 form a single unit. When compressed, its overall size is adapted to the size of a book. The hexagonal honeycomb units are molded and folded using flexible connecting parts, allowing for stretching or shrinking as needed. Adhesive joints 5 are formed by partially bonding the pillow body 4, while unbonded areas form honeycomb pores 6 after stretching.
[0027] The top of the folding support structure of the pillow body 4 is curved. The top curved surface is formed by the gradual change in curvature of the longitudinal curve 7 and the transverse curve 8 to fit the face. The folding support structure and the human body fit together, and the top curved surface layer of the folding support structure fits the face.
[0028] A replaceable cotton fiber layer 3 covers the top curved surface layer of the pillow body 4. Covering the top curved surface layer of the folded support structure with the replaceable cotton fiber layer serves as a cushioning effect. The replaceable cotton fiber layer is tough and is used to reduce the uneven feel of the honeycomb cells.
[0029] The replaceable cotton fiber layer 3 is detachably connected to the right side plate 2 via a side connection. Specifically, the replaceable cotton fiber layer is detachably connected to the right side plate via side Velcro or snap fasteners.
[0030] The volume ratio of the pillow body 4 in its compressed state to its unfolded state is 1:4. The honeycomb units are continuously folded through flexible connecting parts, with a compression volume ratio of 1:4, and form a stable mechanical support after unfolding.
[0031] The replaceable cotton fiber layer 3 is made from plant pulp mixed with calming herbal fibers and naturally emits a sleep-inducing fragrance.
[0032] The inner wall of the hexagonal honeycomb unit of the folded support structure is a hexagonal honeycomb pore 6, and the hexagonal honeycomb pore 6 is evenly distributed.
[0033] The pillow body 4 is made of biodegradable plant fiber pulp, which can be recycled after disposal.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 When compressed, simply push horizontally left and right to fold it up. This reduces the pillow's size after folding, further improving its portability and making it easy to pack into a student's backpack.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the top curved surface, through the gradual change in curvature of the longitudinal curve 7 (front and back) and the gradual change in curvature of the transverse curve 8 (left and right), conforms to and adapts to the face to enhance the comfort of napping.
[0036] The replaceable cotton fiber layer 3 is located on the right side plate 2 in a folded state. It can be used or replaced by tearing it. After unfolding it left and right and front and back once, it is laid on the top curved surface of the pillow body 4 to smooth the unevenness of the honeycomb structure and at the same time play a role in absorbing sweat. It can be replaced after it becomes soiled to keep it clean and hygienic.
[0037] The replaceable cotton fiber layer, with 5%-10% lavender or chamomile fiber added to the material, forms a stable structure after drying and curing, emits a herbal scent, and improves the quality of afternoon naps.
[0038] During implementation, the ventilation holes on the inner wall of the honeycomb vent unit 6 facilitate airflow circulation.
