Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile technology, and in particular to a neck support pillow core. Background Technology
[0002] Memory foam, also known as memory sponge or slow rebound foam, refers to polyether-type polyurethane foam with slow rebound mechanical properties. Generally, the manufacturing process of memory foam involves mixing polyurethane prepolymer with a foaming agent, then foaming it in a mold. After foaming, the mold is opened and cured to form a stable molecular structure, ensuring good elasticity and stability. Finally, it is cut and shaped according to product design requirements. Due to the addition of a foaming agent during manufacturing, memory foam has a permeable pore structure, ensuring the breathability and moisture absorption required by human skin. Memory foam also has advantages such as absorbing impact, reducing vibration, providing uniform surface pressure distribution, preventing pressure, being safe and non-irritating, soft to the touch, comfortable, and durable. It is widely used in pillows, mattresses, and other products.
[0003] Memory foam pillow cores can effectively support the body's curves, reduce cervical spine pressure, and improve sleep quality. However, commercially available memory foam pillow cores have the following drawbacks: they are made of a single material, providing relatively uniform support, which cannot meet the needs of head and neck support. Homogeneous pillow cores can also lead to concentrated pressure in the occipital region, causing discomfort and a poor user experience. Furthermore, the uniform support of homogeneous pillow cores cannot meet the support requirements of different sleeping positions. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a neck support pillow core to solve the above-mentioned technical problems such as the uniform support force failing to meet the head and neck support needs, the homogeneous pillow core easily causing pressure concentration in the occipital bone area, resulting in discomfort and poor user experience during use, and the homogeneous pillow core with uniform support force failing to meet the support force needs of different sleeping positions.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a pillow core, which includes a neck support member and a support layer and a comfort layer stacked sequentially from bottom to top. The support layer has a groove for accommodating the neck support member, and the groove is located in the front part of the middle of the support layer. The neck support member includes a base, and the surface of the base is covered with support columns.
[0006] In this invention, by creating grooves in the support layer to accommodate the neck support, the neck support is configured to include a base, and the surface of the base is covered with support columns. These support columns effectively support the neck, meeting the head and neck support requirements. This solves the technical problems of existing technologies, such as uniform support force, inability to meet head and neck support needs, pressure concentration in the occipital region due to homogeneous pillow cores leading to discomfort and poor user experience, and inability of uniformly supported pillow cores to meet the support needs of different sleeping positions. Furthermore, when the body applies pressure to the pillow core, the support columns below the pressure point are compressed, while the surrounding support columns remain upright or slightly compressed. This facilitates the dynamic and even distribution of pressure over a larger support surface, avoiding discomfort, pain, or even tissue damage (such as pressure sores) caused by localized high pressure points on hard surfaces or continuous foam, thus improving comfort.
[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, the support columns are arranged longitudinally and transversely on the base.
[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the height of the support column gradually decreases from the left and right sides of the base toward the middle.
[0009] In this invention, the height of the support column is set to gradually decrease from the left and right sides of the base towards the middle, which can form an arc and a gradient support area, conforming to the natural curve of the neck, maintaining the normal physiological curve of the cervical spine, and improving comfort.
[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the height of the support column located in the middle area of the base is 10-20mm.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the support columns located on the left and right sides of the base is smaller than the diameter of the support column located in the middle area of the base.
[0012] In this invention, by setting the diameter of the support columns located on the left and right sides of the base to be smaller than the diameter of the support column located in the middle area of the base, the support column located in the middle area can provide higher support for the middle area, meet the support needs of the corresponding area of the cervical spine in the supine position, and improve the comfort of use; the support columns located on the left and right sides can provide better pressure distribution and stable support for the side-lying position, thus improving the comfort of use.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the middle region of the base, the diameters of the support columns located in the middle row, front row and rear row decrease sequentially.
[0014] In this invention, by setting the diameters of the support columns located in the middle row, front row, and rear row to decrease sequentially in the middle area of the base, the support columns located in the middle row can better support the neck, thereby improving the user experience.
[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the support column located in the middle row in the middle region of the base is 21-22 mm.
[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, the base is in the shape of a long arc.
[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, the length of the base accounts for more than 2 / 3 of the length of the pillow core.
[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, the pillow core further includes a protective cover. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a pillow core provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the pillow core of this embodiment includes a neck support 2 and a support layer 1 and a comfort layer 3 stacked sequentially from bottom to top.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 The support layer 1 provides basic support for the pillow core. The support layer 1 has a firmness greater than that of the comfort layer 3. The support layer 1 is made of polyurethane foam (i.e., memory foam), latex, or silicone with a firmness of 25-35N. A groove 11 is provided on the support layer 1 to accommodate the neck support 2. The groove 11 is located in the front part of the middle of the support layer 1.
[0028] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The neck support component 2 provides effective support for the neck. The neck support component 2 has a higher hardness than the support layer 1, and is made of polyurethane foam (memory foam), latex, or silicone with a hardness of 30-40N. The neck support component 2 includes a base 21, which is an elongated arc shape, with its length accounting for more than 2 / 3 and less than 5 / 4 of the pillow core's length. The surface (top surface) of the base 21 is covered with support columns 22, all arranged parallel to each other along the height direction, and arranged longitudinally and transversely on the base 21. The height of the support columns 22 gradually decreases from the left and right sides of the base 21 towards the center. The height of the support columns 22 in the middle area of the base 21 is 10-20mm, and the height of the support columns 22 on the left and right sides of the base 21 is 15-30mm. The diameter of the support columns 22 on the left and right sides of the base 21 is smaller than the diameter of the support columns 22 in the middle area of the base 21. The diameter of the support columns 22 on the left and right sides of the base 21 is 17-19mm. In the middle region of the base 21, the diameters of the support columns 22 located in the middle row, front row, and rear row decrease sequentially. In the middle region of the base 21, the diameter of the support columns 22 located in the middle row is 21-22 mm, the diameter of the support columns 22 located in the front row is 20-21 mm, and the diameter of the support columns 22 located in the rear row is 19-20 mm.
[0029] The human cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae, each with different support requirements. To better conform to the physiological curve of the cervical spine and meet the support and pressure distribution needs of different sleeping positions, this embodiment sets the height and diameter of the support column 22. Specifically, this embodiment creates an arc by gradually decreasing the height of the support column 22 from the left and right sides of the base 21 towards the center, forming a gradient support area that conforms to the natural curve of the neck, maintains the normal physiological curve of the cervical spine, and improves comfort. Furthermore, by making the diameter of the support column 22 located on the left and right sides of the base 21 smaller than the diameter of the support column 22 located in the middle of the base 21, this embodiment provides greater support for the supine sleeping position, meeting the support needs of the corresponding cervical spine area in the supine position and improving comfort. The support columns 22 located on the left and right sides of the base 21 also provide better pressure distribution and stable support for the side-sleeping position, further improving comfort. In the middle area of the base 21, this embodiment reduces the diameter of the support columns 22 located in the middle, front, and rear rows sequentially. This allows the support columns 22 in the middle row to provide better support for the neck, thereby improving the user experience. In short, this embodiment meets the cervical spine support and pressure distribution needs of different sleeping positions by varying the height and diameter of the support columns 22, thus improving user comfort.
[0030] Please continue reading. Figure 1Comfort layer 3 is used to provide comfort for the pillow core. The material of comfort layer 3 is polyurethane foam (i.e. memory foam), latex or silicone with a hardness of 10-20N.
[0031] The principle of this embodiment is as follows: By creating a groove 11 on the support layer 1 to accommodate the neck support 2, the neck support 2 is configured to include a base 21, and the surface of the base 21 is covered with support columns 22. These support columns 22 can effectively support the neck, meeting the head and neck support requirements. This solves the technical problems in the prior art, such as the uniform support force, which cannot meet the head and neck support requirements, the homogeneous pillow core easily causing pressure concentration in the occipital region, resulting in discomfort and poor user experience, and the homogeneous pillow core failing to meet the support force requirements of different sleeping positions. Furthermore, when the human body applies pressure to the pillow core, the support column 22 below the pressure point is compressed, while the surrounding support columns 22 remain upright or slightly compressed. This facilitates the dynamic and even distribution of pressure to a larger support surface, avoiding the discomfort, pain, or even tissue damage (such as pressure sores) caused by local high pressure points on hard surfaces or continuous foam, thus improving comfort.
[0032] Not limited to this, the pillow core of this utility model also includes a protective cover (not shown), which is fitted over the outside of the stacked body formed by the support layer 1 and the comfort layer 3. There are no restrictions on the material of the protective cover, such as cotton fiber, bamboo fiber, lyocell fiber, polyester fiber, etc.
[0033] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
