Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal pillow technology, specifically a medicinal pillow for cervical spine care. Background Technology

[0002] The technical field this utility model relates to is cervical spine health, a growing concern for modern people. With changes in work and lifestyle, prolonged desk work, frequent use of computers and smartphones, and other behaviors have become common causes of cervical strain, muscle stiffness, straightening of the cervical lordosis, and even cervical spondylosis. Sleep is a crucial period for the body's self-repair and relaxation; therefore, choosing a pillow with good support and care is essential for preventing and alleviating cervical spine problems, and the market demand for such products is increasingly strong.

[0003] The market offers a wide variety of pillow products, but they generally suffer from the following technical defects and shortcomings: Traditional pillows, including some ordinary ergonomic pillows, typically have a fixed shape, height, and firmness. However, everyone's body shape and sleeping habits vary significantly. A one-size-fits-all design means the pillow cannot perfectly conform to the user's cervical spine's physiological curvature, potentially resulting in support that is too high, too low, too firm, or too soft. This not only fails to effectively relax neck muscles but may even exacerbate cervical discomfort with long-term use. Currently available height-adjustable pillows can only change the height and cannot finely adjust key ergonomic parameters such as support firmness and resilience. Users have complex needs for lying comfort; some therapeutic pillows on the market have additional functions, such as herbal pillows with built-in herbal sachets or heated pillows. However, these functions are often isolated. For traditional herbal pillows, the release of medicinal effects is passive, and the herbal sachet is often mixed with or sewn into the pillow core, making it difficult to replace or air out the sachet, leading to moisture and mold, and posing hygiene risks.

[0004] In summary, existing technical solutions suffer from poor personalization and limited therapeutic effects. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a medicated pillow for cervical spine care, which solves the technical problems of poor personalization and poor physiotherapy effect of the existing technical solutions.

This structure not only achieves functional integration but also greatly facilitates the replacement, upgrading, and cleaning of subsequent components.

[0007] Preferably, the support core has a U-shaped structure, with an ergonomic upper end, and is made of elastic material. The U-shaped structure allows for easy height adjustment and ensures the curved surface of the support core perfectly conforms to the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, providing precise point-to-point support, effectively distributing pressure, and relaxing neck muscles. While providing sufficient support, it also possesses a certain degree of rebound and cushioning performance to avoid discomfort caused by excessively firm support.

[0008] Preferably, the height adjustment component includes an adjustment spring and height adjustment shims. The adjustment spring has a multi-size structure and is connected between the support cores. The height adjustment shims are disposed within the support cores.

Users can quickly find a suitable basic height for their shoulder width and body shape by adding or removing shims. It also allows for fine-tuning of the support's firmness and resilience. Replacing springs with different specifications, such as different stiffness or length, can provide different lying comforts at the same height, satisfying different users' preferences for firmness.

[0009] Preferably, the medicine bag assembly includes a breathable bag and a medicine bag body, the medicine bag body is disposed inside the breathable bag, and the medicine bag assembly is disposed on the upper wall of the support core; the medicine bag body is used to contain herbal medicines and prevent powder leakage; the outer breathable bag ensures that the effective components of the medicines (such as odors and volatiles) can be released smoothly, while facilitating the removal of the whole package for drying or replacement, ensuring hygiene and convenience of use.

[0010] Preferably, a graphene heating film is disposed between the upper wall of the supporting core and the medicine pack assembly, and the graphene heating film is equipped with a time and temperature controller; this design introduces modern technology of heat therapy to enhance the therapeutic effect of the medicine pillow; utilizing the safe, uniform, and efficient heating characteristics of graphene, a gentle heat compress is applied to the neck. This heat energy can promote blood circulation in the neck and relieve muscle stiffness and soreness; the temperature generated by the heat compress can accelerate the volatilization and penetration of the herbal ingredients in the medicine pack, making the medicinal effects easier to be absorbed through the skin, achieving a dual synergistic effect of heat therapy and drug therapy, doubling the effect; it provides a safe and intelligent user experience, allowing users to set a suitable temperature and therapy time according to their own needs, preventing overheating and burns, and can realize timed shutdown to ensure sleep safety.

[0011] Preferably, the pillow body is made of memory foam and has a head concave area and a neck support area; it has slow rebound characteristics and can slowly deform according to the shape and weight of the head and neck to form a close-fitting wrapping surface, effectively absorbing and dispersing pressure, and providing a comfortable sleeping experience without pressure.

[0012] Preferably, the pillow is provided with a pillowcase, which is equipped with an opening and closing zipper; this is a protective layer that comes into direct contact with the skin, which can effectively isolate the pillow core from the contamination of sweat, dander, etc., and keep the pillow clean and hygienic; it makes the removal and installation of the pillowcase extremely convenient, allowing users to wash or replace the pillowcase regularly, and is a necessary structure to ensure the long-term cleanliness and comfortable use of the product.

It is also used for fine-tuning the support firmness and resilience. By replacing springs with different specifications, such as different stiffness or length, different lying comforts can be obtained at the same height, satisfying different users' preferences for firmness.

[0022] In this embodiment, the medicine bag assembly is further configured such that the medicine bag assembly includes a breathable bag 5 and a medicine bag body 6. The medicine bag body 6 is disposed inside the breathable bag 5, and the medicine bag assembly is disposed on the upper wall of the support core 2. The medicine bag body 6 is used to contain herbal medicines and prevent powder leakage. The external breathable bag 5 ensures that the effective components of the medicines (such as odors and volatiles) can be released smoothly, and at the same time, it is easy to remove the whole package for drying or replacement, ensuring hygiene and convenience of use.

[0023] This embodiment is further configured such that a graphene heating film 7 is disposed between the upper wall of the supporting core 2 and the medicine pack assembly, and the graphene heating film 7 is equipped with a time and temperature controller; this design introduces modern technology heat therapy to enhance the therapeutic effect of the medicine pillow; utilizing the safe, uniform, and efficient heating characteristics of graphene, a gentle heat compress is applied to the neck. This heat energy can promote blood circulation in the neck and relieve muscle stiffness and soreness; the temperature generated by the heat compress can accelerate the volatilization and penetration of the herbal ingredients in the medicine pack, making the medicinal effect easier to be absorbed through the skin, achieving a dual synergistic effect of heat therapy and drug therapy, doubling the effect; it provides a safe and intelligent user experience, allowing users to set a suitable temperature and therapy time according to their own needs, preventing overheating and burns, and enabling timed shutdown to ensure sleep safety.

[0024] In this embodiment, the pillow body 1 is made of memory foam material, and the pillow body 1 is provided with a head concave area and a neck support area; it has slow rebound characteristics, and can slowly deform according to the shape and weight of the head and neck to form a close-fitting wrapping surface, effectively absorbing and dispersing pressure, and providing a comfortable sleeping feeling without pressure.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pillow body 1 is further provided with a pillowcase 8, and the pillowcase 8 is provided with an opening and closing zipper 9; as a protective layer that comes into direct contact with the skin, it can effectively isolate the pillow core from the contamination of sweat, dander, etc., and keep the pillow clean and hygienic; making the removal and installation of the pillowcase 8 extremely convenient, allowing users to regularly wash or replace the pillowcase 8, which is a necessary structure to ensure the long-term cleanliness and comfortable use of the product.

[0026] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field; such as Figure 1-2As shown, first, the user unzips the pillowcase 8 with the zipper 9 and removes the pillowcase 8. Then, the receiving cavity located in the neck support area of ​​the pillow body 1 is opened, fully exposing the internal support core 2, height adjustment component, and medicine pack component. The user makes a basic adjustment to the overall support height of the pillow according to their shoulder width and body shape. The user removes or inserts the height adjustment pads 4 from inside the support core 2, changing the effective height of the neck support area by increasing or decreasing the number of height adjustment pads 4, until, during a lying-down test, the neck is fully supported and feels comfortable, and the head and spine are basically in a straight line. After determining the basic height, the user can make fine-tuning adjustments according to their preference for lying firmness. The user selects and replaces the adjusting springs 3 connected to the support core 2. This invention provides springs of various specifications (such as different stiffness or lengths); replacing with a spring with greater stiffness provides a firmer support, while a less stiff spring provides a softer, more cushioned feel.

[0027] Place the medicine pack assembly, including the medicine pack body 6 and the breathable bag 5, flat on the upper wall of the support core 2. If this embodiment is equipped with a graphene heating film 7, ensure that the heating film is flatly laid between the upper wall of the support core 2 and the medicine pack assembly. After completing all the above adjustments, return all components to their positions, close the receiving cavity, and reinstall the pillow body 1 into the pillowcase 8, then zip it up. The personalized adjustment is now complete.

[0028] When lying down, the user should align their neck with the raised neck support area of ​​pillow 1, with the back of their head naturally resting on the concave area in the middle of pillow 1. This posture ensures that the physiological curvature of the cervical spine conforms to the ergonomic shape of the support core 2, thereby achieving optimal support and relaxation. When the user experiences neck stiffness, soreness, or wishes to enhance the therapeutic effect, the heating function can be activated. Connect the power cord of the graphene heating film 7 to the time and temperature controller and turn on the power. Using the controller panel, set the heating temperature for personal comfort and the desired treatment duration. After activation, the graphene heating film 7 begins to heat evenly, and the heat energy will gently act on the neck through the medicated pack components, achieving a synergistic effect of heat therapy and medication. When the preset time ends, the heating function will automatically turn off to ensure safe use during sleep.

[0029] Users can periodically unzip and remove the pillowcase 8 for washing to maintain hygiene. The pillow body 1, the internal support core 2, electronic components, etc., cannot be washed with water. If there are stains, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and then place it in a cool, ventilated place to air dry naturally. The medicine pack components can be periodically removed from the receiving cavity and aired in a ventilated and dry place to prevent moisture and maintain the efficacy of the medicine. When the odor of the medicine pack is significantly reduced or according to the recommended usage cycle, only the internal medicine pack 6 can be replaced, while the breathable bag 5 can continue to be used.
