Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nursing pillows, specifically a nursing pillow for cervical spondylosis. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread adoption of office automation and the high-frequency use of mobile devices, poor posture such as prolonged head-down posture and sitting has led to a year-on-year increase in the incidence of cervical spondylosis, which is also showing a trend towards affecting younger people. If the cervical spine lacks proper support during sleep, it can easily aggravate problems such as abnormal cervical curvature and muscle tension. Therefore, cervical spondylosis care pillows that conform to the cervical curve have become a market necessity to relieve cervical pressure during sleep.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent with publication number "CN221903132U" discloses "a pillow, including a pillow body and a cervical spine support area, wherein an inflatable air bladder is provided inside the cervical spine support area, and an air supply pipe is provided on one side of the outer side of the cervical spine support area, and an inflatable air bladder is provided on the air supply pipe... The cervical spine support area of the pillow can be adjusted according to the user's needs, so that the pillow fits the cervical spine of different people and meets the needs of different people; the air can be deflated by manually pressing, and the deflating method is simple and convenient."
[0004] However, the single inflatable airbag used in the above patent can only achieve overall height adjustment of the cervical spine support area, and cannot adapt to the differentiated support needs of different areas of the cervical spine. The physiological structure of the cervical spine is divided into upper and lower segments. The cervical spine problems of different users (such as lower cervical spine straightening and upper cervical spine muscle tension) are often concentrated in a certain area. The overall inflation of a single airbag can easily lead to over-support or under-support in some areas, making it difficult to accurately match the support needs of the user's local cervical spine. The adaptability and relief effect are limited.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a cervical spondylosis care pillow to address the problems raised in the background art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cervical spondylosis care pillow.
[0007] A cervical spondylosis care pillow includes a care pillow body, which is divided along its width into a cervical spine support area for supporting the cervical spine and a head support area for supporting the head. The care pillow body is provided with an adjustment component that works in conjunction with the cervical spine support area. The inside of the nursing pillow body is provided with an installation groove corresponding to the cervical spine support area. The adjustment component includes a partition plate set in the installation groove. Inflatable airbags are provided on both sides of the partition plate in the installation groove. The two inflatable airbags correspond to the upper and lower regions of the cervical spine, respectively. A U-shaped tube is connected to the same end of the two inflatable airbags. An air guide tube is connected to the middle of the U-shaped tube. An inflatable airbag for manual air supply is connected to the bottom end of the air guide tube.
[0008] Preferably, the end of the inflatable airbag away from the air guide tube is connected to an air inlet head, the air inlet head is provided with a one-way valve one that allows only external gas to enter the inflatable airbag in one direction, and the air guide tube is provided with a one-way valve two that allows only the gas inside the inflatable airbag to enter the U-shaped tube in one direction.
[0009] Preferably, the U-shaped tube is provided with two miniature manual valves that are symmetrically distributed and used for manually controlling the connection and disconnection between the corresponding inflatable airbag and the U-shaped tube.
[0010] Preferably, an exhaust pipe is connected to the side of the inflatable airbag away from the U-shaped tube, and a silicone sealing plug for sealing the exhaust pipe is fitted at the port of the exhaust pipe away from the inflatable airbag.
[0011] Preferably, a flexible sponge is provided inside the mounting groove, and the flexible sponge covers the side of the two inflatable airbags away from the inner wall of the mounting groove.
[0012] Preferably, the head support area of the pillow body has multiple sets of ventilation holes arranged in a matrix, and the ventilation holes are through holes that penetrate the upper and lower surfaces of the pillow body.
[0013] Preferably, the side of the nursing pillow body near the U-shaped tube is provided with a storage bag for storing the inflatable airbag.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention uses a partition plate to divide the two inflatable airbags in the installation slot into the upper and lower cervical spine regions respectively. With the help of a miniature manual valve on the U-shaped tube, independent on / off control is achieved. The support height of a single region can be adjusted in a targeted manner. This can solve the problem of insufficient support in the lower cervical spine for people with straightened cervical spine, and also alleviate the problem of excessive traction in the upper cervical spine for people with tense upper cervical muscles. It avoids the local support imbalance caused by adjusting the overall inflatable airbag, greatly improves the adaptability to different cervical spine problems, effectively relieves cervical spine pressure, and the soothing effect is more in line with the actual needs of users.

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0018] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:
[0019] Example 1: This utility model provides a cervical spondylosis care pillow, including a care pillow body 1. The care pillow body 1 is divided into a cervical spine support area 11 for supporting the cervical spine and a head support area 12 for supporting the head along the width direction. The care pillow body 1 is provided with an adjustment component 2 that works in conjunction with the cervical spine support area 11.
[0020] When using the main body of the care pillow 1, the cervical spine support area 11 and the head support area 12 can respectively provide adaptive support for the user's cervical spine and head, ensuring that the head and cervical spine maintain their natural physiological curvature during sleep and avoiding cervical muscle traction caused by misalignment. At this time, the adjustment component 2, which works in conjunction with the cervical spine support area 11, can adjust the support height and strength of the corresponding position of the cervical spine support area 11 according to the specific condition of the user's cervical spine, such as straightening of the lower cervical spine or tension of the upper cervical spine muscles. This allows the cervical spine support area 11 to accurately conform to the user's cervical spine physiological curve, relieve cervical spine pressure, and adapt to the differentiated cervical spine support needs of different users.
[0021] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The inner part of the pillow body 1 is provided with an installation groove 3 corresponding to the cervical spine support area 11. The adjustment component 2 includes a partition plate 21 set in the installation groove 3. Inflatable airbags 22 are provided on both sides of the partition plate 21 in the installation groove 3. The two inflatable airbags 22 correspond to the upper and lower cervical spine areas respectively. A U-shaped tube 23 is connected to the same end of the two inflatable airbags 22. An air guide tube 24 is connected to the middle of the U-shaped tube 23. An inflatable airbag 25 for manual air supply is connected to the bottom end of the air guide tube 24.
[0022] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 An air inlet 26 is connected to one end of the inflatable airbag 25 away from the air guide tube 24. The air inlet 26 is equipped with a one-way valve 27 that allows only external gas to enter the inflatable airbag 25 in one direction. The air guide tube 24 is equipped with a one-way valve 28 that allows only the gas inside the inflatable airbag 25 to enter the U-shaped tube 23 in one direction.
[0023] When the overall height of the cervical spine support area 11 needs to be adjusted, the user can hold the inflatable airbag 25 and squeeze it. At this time, the gas inside the inflatable airbag 25 will open the one-way valve 28 on the air guide tube 24 under the squeezing action, and then flow into the U-shaped tube 23 through the air guide tube 24. The U-shaped tube 23 will simultaneously divert the gas to the two inflatable airbags 22 connected at both ends, so that the two inflatable airbags 22 corresponding to the upper and lower cervical spine areas respectively will inflate and expand synchronously. As the volume of the inflatable airbag 22 increases, it will lift the corresponding position of the cervical spine support area 11, thereby raising the overall height of the cervical spine support area 11 until it reaches a support height that conforms to the natural curvature of the user's cervical spine, thus meeting the user's adjustment needs for the overall support strength of the cervical spine support area 11.
[0024] refer to Figure 4 The U-shaped tube 23 is equipped with two miniature manual valves 29 that are symmetrically distributed and used for manually controlling the opening and closing of the corresponding inflatable airbag 22 and the U-shaped tube 23.
[0025] When it is necessary to adjust the upper or lower segment of the cervical spine support area 11 separately, the user can achieve precise control by operating the corresponding micro manual valve 29. If only the support height of the upper cervical spine needs to be adjusted, the micro manual valve 29 of the corresponding lower segment expansion airbag 22 can be closed. At this time, the gas generated by squeezing the inflation airbag 25 can only enter the upper segment expansion airbag 22 through the U-shaped tube 23, allowing it to inflate and expand separately, thus specifically increasing the support height of the upper cervical spine. If the support height of the lower cervical spine needs to be adjusted, the micro manual valve 29 of the corresponding upper segment expansion airbag 22 is closed, and the gas only flows into the lower segment expansion airbag 22, achieving separate support adjustment for the lower segment. Through the independent control of the micro manual valve 29, the two expansion airbags 22 can flexibly match the support strength according to the user's local cervical spine problems, such as upper segment muscle tension or lower segment straightening, improving the accuracy of cervical spine support and further enhancing the comfort of the patient when using the nursing pillow body 1.
[0026] It should be noted that the miniature manual valve 29 can be a miniature plunger valve, which is cylindrical in shape and its diameter matches the outer diameter of the U-shaped tube 23. It is sealed to the outside of the U-shaped tube 23 through threaded connection or interference fit of the insertion tube. The miniature plunger valve has a plunger rod with an annular sealing rubber ring inside, and an anti-slip knob or paddle on the top. When the knob is rotated, the plunger rod can be driven to rotate axially to control the vent hole on the side wall of the plunger rod to be aligned with or offset from the internal vent of the U-shaped tube 23. When the vent hole is aligned with the vent, the gas passage is open, allowing gas to be inflated into the corresponding expansion bladder 22 through the U-shaped tube 23. When the vent hole is offset from the vent, the annular sealing rubber ring is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the miniature plunger valve to block the gas passage, thereby realizing independent on / off control of a single expansion bladder 22, and the sealing performance is reliable, which can effectively prevent gas leakage.
[0027] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An exhaust pipe 4 is connected to the side of the inflatable airbag 22 away from the U-shaped tube 23. A silicone sealing plug 5 for sealing the exhaust pipe 4 is fitted to the port of the exhaust pipe 4 away from the inflatable airbag 22.
[0028] When it is necessary to lower the support height of the cervical spine support area 11 or to expel residual gas from the inflatable airbag 22, the user can remove the silicone sealing plug 5 at the exhaust pipe 4 port. At this time, the gas in the inflatable airbag 22 can be naturally discharged along the exhaust pipe 4, thereby depressurizing the corresponding airbag. After the gas in the airbag is discharged to the required support height or completely emptied, the silicone sealing plug 5 can be reinstalled at the exhaust pipe 4 port to block the gas flow and keep the inflatable airbag 22 in its current support state.
[0029] refer to Figure 4 A flexible sponge 6 is provided inside the mounting groove 3, and the flexible sponge 6 covers the side of the two inflatable airbags 22 away from the inner wall of the mounting groove 3.
[0030] When the inflation volume of the airbag 22 increases, the flexible sponge 6 will be slightly compressed in sync with the inflation trend of the airbag, providing sufficient expansion space for the airbag 22 and preventing the airbag 22 from being unable to be fully inflated due to limited space in the mounting groove 3, or from deforming its support shape due to compression after inflation.
[0031] refer to Figure 1 The head support area 12 of the pillow body 1 has multiple sets of ventilation holes 7 arranged in a matrix. The ventilation holes 7 are through holes that penetrate the upper and lower surfaces of the pillow body 1.
[0032] The heat and moisture generated when the head comes into contact with the head support area 12 during sleep can be quickly expelled through the ventilation holes 7, while fresh air from outside can enter through the holes, forming an air circulation. This effectively avoids stuffiness and sweating caused by prolonged contact between the head and the pillow surface, improving the dryness and comfort of the head during sleep.
[0033] Example 2, Reference Figure 6 The maintenance pillow body 1 has a storage bag 8 on the side near the U-shaped tube 23 for storing the inflatable airbag 25.
[0034] When the inflatable airbag 25 is not in use, it can be placed in the storage bag 8 to prevent the exposed inflatable airbag 25 from being squeezed when the patient unconsciously moves their head or body during sleep at night. This can avoid damage to the inflatable airbag 25 caused by external pressure and thus improve the service life of the inflatable airbag 25.
[0035] Working principle: During use, the cervical spine support area 11 and the head support area 12 provide adaptive support for the user's cervical spine and head, respectively. When the overall height of the cervical spine support area 11 needs to be adjusted, the user squeezes the inflatable airbag 25. The gas inside the airbag 25 flows through the air guide tube 24 into the U-shaped tube 23, and is then simultaneously distributed to the two inflatable airbags 22 corresponding to the upper and lower cervical spine, respectively. This causes the airbags to inflate and expand synchronously, lifting the cervical spine support area 11 upwards until the appropriate support height is achieved. If it is necessary to adjust the support height of the upper or lower cervical spine separately, the micro-hand on the corresponding position of the U-shaped tube 23 can be operated. The valve 29 is activated so that gas flows only into the target inflatable airbag 22 to achieve local support adjustment, thereby flexibly matching the support force and improving the accuracy of cervical spine support. When the inflatable airbag 25 is not in use, it can be placed in the storage bag 8 to prevent the exposed inflatable airbag 25 from being squeezed when the patient unconsciously moves their head or body during sleep, thus improving the protection of the inflatable airbag 25. When it is necessary to reduce the support height or release the gas, the silicone sealing plug 5 on the exhaust pipe 4 of the inflatable airbag 22 is removed, and the gas is naturally discharged along the exhaust pipe 4. After adjustment, the sealing plug is put back to maintain the current support state.
