Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of home furnishing technology, and specifically relates to a sleep pillow with a partial transition limiting support. Background Technology

[0002] Sleep quality is directly related to sleeping posture and the suitability of bedding. As a core piece of bedding supporting the head and neck, the structural design of a sleep pillow has a decisive impact on sleep comfort and relaxation. With the gradual improvement of public health awareness, users' functional needs for sleep pillows have upgraded from the basic "pillow" function to a comprehensive need that takes into account head relaxation, neck support, and facial comfort and protection. Especially in the high-frequency sleep posture adjustment scenario of switching from back to side sleeping, the structural defects of ordinary pillows become increasingly prominent, making it difficult to meet the sleep comfort needs under multiple posture changes.

[0003] From the perspective of head relaxation needs, when the human body is in a sleep state, the head needs to rely on even support to achieve complete muscle relaxation. However, most ordinary pillows use an integral fixed structure (such as fiber filling, latex one-piece molding, etc.). Since ordinary pillows lack an adaptive support structure for the transition of posture, the head is prone to a "sense of suspension" or "local pressure", which directly leads to uneven force on the head, causing tension in the temporal and occipital muscles, which in turn causes frequent awakenings during sleep and significantly reduces sleep quality.

[0004] From the perspective of neck support, the physiological curvature of the cervical spine (i.e., the cervical lordosis curve) needs to be continuously supported during sleep to avoid concentrated local pressure on the cervical spine. With existing ordinary pillows, when the user adjusts their sleeping posture, the neck changes angle with the head, and the original contact point between the neck and the pillow is prone to misalignment. This results in a support gap under the neck, forcing the cervical spine into a state of "hyperextension" or "lateral bending," which can easily lead to cervical strain with long-term use. Furthermore, some pillows, in pursuit of neck support, excessively increase the firmness of the corresponding area of ​​the neck, which actually increases the frictional resistance between the neck and the pillow during posture adjustments, further reducing sleep comfort.

[0005] Furthermore, when sleeping on your back, your face is up and no pillow is needed for additional support. However, when switching to a side-sleeping position, the cheeks, cheekbones, and other areas need stable and soft support to prevent excessive pressure on the facial skin or gaps between the face and the pillow that allow cold air to enter. Existing ordinary pillows often present two problems in actual use: First, the overall height of the pillow is insufficient, leaving the face without effective support when sleeping on your side. This causes the face to sag towards the mattress, leading to stretching of the cheek muscles. Simultaneously, the eyes and ears are easily in direct contact with the mattress, resulting in soreness and pain. Second, the pillow is too high, causing excessive pressure on the face when sleeping on your side. This concentrates pressure on the cheekbones and jawline, affecting facial blood circulation and potentially creating skin indentations, with a more significant impact on people with sensitive skin. In addition, some ordinary pillows use filling materials (such as hard sponge or granular fillings) that lack elasticity in the facial contact area, further exacerbating facial discomfort and failing to meet users' comfort needs for a "pressure-free and unburdened" face when sleeping on their side.

[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sleep pillow with a partial transition limiting support, thereby overcoming the defects in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a sleep pillow with a partial transition limiting support body, comprising: an integrally molded elastic cotton body, a soft support skeleton inside the elastic cotton body, a blank area in the middle of the soft support skeleton adapted to the human head, and full-area support except for the blank area on both sides of the blank area of ​​the soft support skeleton inside the elastic cotton body.

[0009] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the elastic cotton body is formed on a soft support frame.

[0010] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the soft support frame is composed of several smooth curved ribs arranged sequentially, presenting a three-dimensional symmetrical structure with dense ribs in the middle and loose ribs on both sides.

[0011] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the intermediate dense area has an overall downward-concave arc-shaped structure.

[0012] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, each end of the plurality of smooth curved ribs is provided with side ribs, which connect the plurality of smooth curved ribs into an integral structure.

[0013] Furthermore, preferably, the curved ribs and side ribs are an integral structure.

[0014] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the soft support frame is also provided with a support base, and the densely packed middle section of the plurality of smooth curved ribs is arranged on the support base.

[0015] Furthermore, preferably, the curved ribs are made of flexible metal strips, silicone skeletons, or plastic.

[0016] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the soft support frame and the support base are made of the same material.

[0017] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the soft support frame is an integrated structure with the support seat.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, one aspect of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This utility model adopts a soft support frame and a structural design with blank area and full-area support on both sides. When the head is placed on the blank area, the blank area provides soft support for the head without pressure, while the two sides provide uniform upward support force and can adaptively adjust the support force around the head to avoid the head from having a "suspension" or "local pressure".

[0020] The soft support frame of this utility model is composed of several smooth curved ribs arranged in sequence, and the central dense area has an overall downward concave arc structure, which can better fit the physiological curve of the neck. When adjusting the sleeping position, the soft frame structure can adapt to the curve of the neck, avoiding the neck from dislocation or other issues when adjusting the posture, thus reducing the risk of cervical strain.

[0021] When the supine sleeping position is adjusted to the side sleeping position, the present invention provides full-area support on both sides to support the face, and can adaptively adjust the support height to prevent the face from sagging, muscle stretching, and pressure on the eyes and ears, so as to achieve "no pressure and no suspension" for the face.

[0022] This invention can meet the support needs of the head, neck and face in different postures, make up for the shortcomings of ordinary pillows, significantly improve sleep comfort and neck protection effect, and is suitable for a wide range of people. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0033] Unless otherwise expressly stated, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" or its variations such as "including" or "comprises" shall be understood to include the stated elements or components without excluding other elements or other components.

[0034] Example:

[0035] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a sleep pillow with a partial transition limiting support body includes: an integrally molded elastic cotton body 1, a soft support frame 2 inside the elastic cotton body 1, a blank area 21 adapted to the human head in the middle of the soft support frame 2, and the two sides of the blank area 21 of the soft support frame 2 forming full-area support inside the elastic cotton body 1 except for the blank area 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, as a specific solution, full-area support means that the soft support frame 2 is completely laid inside the elastic cotton body 1 except for the blank area 21 adapted to the curve of the human head; more specifically, the soft support frame 2 is present inside the elastic cotton body 1 in all areas except for the blank area 21.

[0037] In this embodiment, as a specific solution, the elastic cotton body 1 is formed on the soft support frame 2. Specifically, the pre-made soft support frame 2 is first placed into the mold, and then foaming material is injected into the mold. After foaming and molding, the soft support frame 2 and the elastic cotton form a solid whole, which can prevent the soft support frame 2 from shifting during use and has good stability.

[0038] In this embodiment, as a specific solution, the soft support frame 2 is composed of several smooth curved ribs 22 arranged sequentially, presenting a three-dimensional symmetrical curved structure with a dense center and looser sides; more specifically, it presents a symmetrical butterfly structure, where the part without ribs 22 in the dense center is a blank area; and in a more preferred embodiment, the dense center presents a downward-concave arc structure. When the side without ribs 22 in the center is selected as the neck support, this arc structure can conform to the curve of the human head; while when the side with ribs 22 in the center is selected as the neck support, this arc structure can serve as rigid support for the neck, thereby achieving a high level of neck protection.

[0039] In this embodiment, as a more specific solution, the two ends of the plurality of smooth curved ribs 22 are respectively provided with side ribs 23, and the side ribs 23 connect the plurality of smooth curved ribs 22 into an integral structure; that is, the plurality of curved ribs 22 and the side ribs 23 form an integral frame structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, as a more specific solution, the curved rib 22 and the side rib 23 are an integral structure; more specifically, the curved rib 22 and the side rib 23 are made of the same material and are integrally molded to form an integral structure, which can ensure that the support strength of different areas is consistent and avoid partial collapse; the material can be silicone, plastic, flexible metal, etc.

[0041] In this embodiment, as a more specific solution, the soft support frame 2 is further provided with a support base 24, and the densely packed middle section of the plurality of smooth curved ribs 22 is arranged on the support base 24.

[0042] In this embodiment, as a more specific solution, the soft support frame 2 and the support base 24 are integrally molded to support an integral structure.

[0043] When in use, the user's head rests naturally in the blank area 21, which provides soft, pressure-free support for the head. Simultaneously, even upward support is provided on both sides, adaptively adjusting the support around the head to prevent a feeling of "unsustainment" or "localized pressure." The soft support frame is composed of several smooth, curved ribs arranged sequentially, with the central dense area exhibiting a downward-concave arc structure, better conforming to the physiological curve of the neck. When adjusting sleeping posture, the soft frame structure adapts to the neck's curve, preventing neck dislocations and reducing the risk of cervical strain. When transitioning from a supine to a side-lying position, the full-area support on both sides provides support for the face and adaptively adjusts the support height, preventing facial sagging, muscle stretching, and pressure on the eyes and ears, achieving a "pressure-free and unsustainable" facial experience.

[0044] In addition, when the side with densely arranged ribs 22 in the middle is used as a neck support, a high neck support experience can be obtained, while when the side without ribs 22 in the middle is chosen as a neck support, a low neck support experience can be obtained.

[0045] This invention can meet the support needs of the head, neck and face in different postures, make up for the shortcomings of ordinary pillows, significantly improve sleep comfort and neck protection effect, and is suitable for a wide range of people.

[0046] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to implement and utilize various different exemplary embodiments of the present invention, as well as various different choices and variations. The scope of the present invention is intended to be defined by the claims and their equivalents.
