Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pillow design technology, specifically to a partitioned pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional zoned pillows feature sections of varying height, each filled with materials like memory foam, latex, or polyester to provide differentiated support. However, this structure, with its uneven and irregular surface, can create localized pressure during sleep, causing neck discomfort. Furthermore, the low porosity of memory foam, latex, or polyester fillings hinders breathability and heat dissipation, negatively impacting sleep quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a partitioned pillow to solve the problems of traditional partitioned pillows that easily cause local pressure and poor heat dissipation.

[0004] This utility model provides a partitioned pillow, comprising: The pillow body has a flat surface. The pillow surface has several sections, and each section has ventilation holes facing the pillow surface.

[0005] In this application, the flat pillow surface solves the problem of uneven surfaces in traditional height-zoned pillows, which can cause localized pressure during sleep. This ensures the overall aesthetic appeal of the pillow, avoids rough and irregular surfaces, and allows for a close fit with most pillowcases on the market, preventing wrinkles or shifting during use and improving ease of use. Furthermore, this application features zoned design, allowing for customized zone layouts based on individual needs. The ventilation holes facing the pillow surface effectively promote air circulation. Compared to traditional materials like memory foam and latex, which have high density and low porosity leading to poor breathability, this design improves the pillow's breathability, preventing discomfort such as sweating and stuffiness caused by trapped heat and moisture during sleep, thus ensuring a comfortable sleep.

[0006] In one alternative embodiment, the pillow body includes staggered pillow boards with ventilation holes formed between adjacent pillow boards.

[0007] In this application, the staggered pillowboards form ventilation holes. Compared to the problem of traditional partitioned pillows hindering airflow, this application improves air circulation efficiency, enhances pillow breathability, and ensures that heat and moisture can dissipate quickly during sleep, reducing stuffiness. Simultaneously, the staggered pillowboards themselves constitute a stable support frame, providing a reliable structural foundation for different sections, resulting in more stable support performance and avoiding the support weakening problem caused by the loose structure of traditional filling materials. Furthermore, this structural design, combined with TPE material, allows water to flow more smoothly through the gaps between the pillowboards during washing, facilitating thorough cleaning and solving the problems of insufficient washability and difficulty in removing stains in traditional pillows. This reduces the risk of bacterial and mite growth, ensuring hygiene during use.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the pillow surface is perpendicular to the pillow board.

[0009] In this application, the pillow surface is perpendicular to the pillow board, ensuring a perfectly flat surface and preventing unevenness caused by a tilted pillow board. This optimizes the pillow's aesthetics and fit with the pillowcase, reducing localized pressure during sleep. Simultaneously, the vertical pillow board distributes pressure more evenly across the entire pillow body, preventing pressure concentration in specific areas and resulting in more balanced pressure on the head and neck, improving sleep comfort, especially reducing discomfort in the cervical spine caused by uneven pressure. Furthermore, the vertical structure allows for better airflow through the ventilation holes, enhancing air circulation efficiency and breathability. Additionally, the vertical gaps between the pillow board facilitate water flow during washing, improving cleaning convenience.

[0010] In one alternative implementation, support structures with different densities are located at the intersections of the pillow plates within different zones.

[0011] In this application, the support structure with different densities enables functional zoning, providing differentiated support according to the support needs of different parts of the body. This solves the problems of traditional zoned pillows where the filling material can be adjusted for height, and the support performance is insufficient or excessively rigid. It allows users to obtain suitable support in different sleeping positions, such as supine and side-lying, reducing pressure on the neck and shoulders. The intersection of the pillowboards has higher structural strength; placing the support structure there makes the support force of each zone more stable and reliable, especially in areas requiring strong support, such as the cervical spine strong support area and the side-lying area. This effectively avoids head sinking or neck slumping due to insufficient support, solving the defect of unstable support performance in traditional zoned pillows.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the pillow surface is divided into a fossa area, a strong cervical support area, a weak cervical support area, and a side-sleeping area, with the strong cervical support area, the weak cervical support area, and the side-sleeping area surrounding the outer side of the fossa area.

[0013] In this application, the fossa area is located in the center, conforming to the natural placement of the head when lying supine, providing comfortable support for the head. The surrounding strong and weak cervical support areas correspond to the neck position, providing appropriate support according to the user's habits and body shape, preventing the neck from being unsupported and effectively preventing cervical discomfort. The side-sleeping area is arranged on the outer side, making it convenient for the user to place their head naturally when turning over to sleep on their side, making the side-sleeping posture more comfortable. The transition between each functional area is natural, avoiding the discomfort caused by the abrupt structure of traditional partitioned pillows, while also making the overall structure of the pillow more harmonious and improving its aesthetics.

[0014] In one optional implementation, there are two side sleeping areas, located on both sides of the fossa region, and the strong cervical support area and the weak cervical support area are located on both sides of the fossa region.

[0015] In this application, the side sleeping areas on both sides conform to the natural habit of turning from side to side, allowing users to find a suitable support area by adjusting their position when sleeping on their side, thus improving ease of use. Strong and weak cervical spine support areas are located on both sides, providing users with more options when lying on their backs. Users of different body types and sleeping habits can choose the appropriate support area according to their own needs.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, the density of the support structure in the strong support zone of the cervical spine is greater than the density of the support structure in the weak support zone of the cervical spine.

[0017] In this application, the strong cervical support zone provides reliable support for the neck that requires strong support, avoiding discomfort caused by the neck being unsupported; the weak cervical support zone has a lower density, which is suitable for users who prefer softer support, providing gentler support and meeting the personalized needs of different users.

[0018] In one alternative implementation, the partitioned pillow is made of TPE material.

[0019] In this application, TPE material exhibits excellent water resistance. Compared to memory foam, which collapses when exposed to water, and latex, which is prone to aging, this pillow is completely washable. This facilitates the removal of sweat, dander, and other stains accumulated during daily use, effectively reducing the growth of bacteria and mites and solving the hygiene hazards and allergy risks associated with traditional pillows. Simultaneously, TPE material itself has good breathability. Combined with the pillow's ventilation structure, it further enhances air circulation, avoiding the stuffiness and discomfort caused by the poor breathability of traditional materials, thus improving sleep quality. Furthermore, TPE material has good elasticity and is not easily deformed. After washing, it maintains the height and firmness of each section, ensuring stable support performance and solving the problem of reduced support performance after washing in traditional pillows, thereby extending the pillow's lifespan.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Currently, most pillow products on the market suffer from limited functionality, insufficient material performance, and structural design flaws, which restrict the user experience. While traditional height-zoned pillows provide differentiated support by altering the structure of different areas (such as the cervical spine support area and the sacral region), they still have the following significant technical shortcomings and fail to effectively meet ergonomic requirements: Uneven surface leads to functional and aesthetic defects: In order to achieve height zoning, the structure of traditional pillows often forms obvious bumps and odd structures on the surface. This not only affects the overall appearance of the pillow (manifested as a rough and irregular surface), but also creates a local pressure sensation during sleep, causing neck discomfort, and may even result in poor fit with the pillowcase, causing wrinkles or shifting during use, and it is also incompatible with most pillowcases on the market.

[0025] Poor breathability: Traditional height-zoned pillows often use filling materials such as memory foam, latex, or polyester fiber. These materials have high density and low porosity, resulting in poor breathability. When the user lies on their back or side, heat and moisture cannot dissipate effectively, easily causing sweating, stuffiness, and discomfort, affecting sleep quality. In addition, the zoned structure inside the pillow core further hinders air circulation, exacerbating the heat dissipation problem.

[0026] Insufficient washability: Due to the susceptibility of traditional materials to water absorption or deformation (e.g., memory foam collapses when wet, latex ages easily), most zoned pillows cannot be completely washed or can only be cleaned locally. Sweat, dander, and other stains accumulated during daily use are difficult to remove completely, easily breeding bacteria and mites, posing hygiene risks and allergy risks. After washing, the height and firmness of the pillow's zones may shift or deform, leading to a decrease in support performance.

[0027] Inadequate functional zoning: Existing zoned pillows often rely solely on the stacking of materials to adjust the height of different areas, lacking a pressure zone design for different sleeping positions. A single pillow can only accommodate one or two types of people, leading to excessive stiffness in the strong support area of ​​the cervical spine or insufficient support in the weak support area. Long-term use may aggravate cervical strain and sleep discomfort.

[0028] The aforementioned shortcomings limit the comfort, hygiene, and durability of traditional height-zoned pillows in practical applications, and there is an urgent need to improve them through material innovation and structural optimization.

[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 2 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a partitioned pillow is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: The pillow body 1 has a flat surface; the pillow body 1 can be a cuboid or a cube, and this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto. The pillow body 1 can be made of an elastic material.

[0031] The pillow surface has several sections, and each section has ventilation holes facing the pillow surface.

[0032] In this application, the flat pillow surface solves the problem of uneven surfaces in traditional height-zoned pillows, which can cause localized pressure during sleep. This ensures the overall aesthetic appeal of the pillow, avoids rough and irregular surfaces, and allows for a close fit with most pillowcases on the market, preventing wrinkles or shifting during use and improving ease of use. Furthermore, this application features zoned design, allowing for customized zone layouts based on individual needs. The ventilation holes facing the pillow surface effectively promote air circulation. Compared to traditional materials like memory foam and latex, which have high density and low porosity leading to poor breathability, this design improves the pillow's breathability, preventing discomfort such as sweating and stuffiness caused by trapped heat and moisture during sleep, thus ensuring a comfortable sleep.

[0033] In one optional embodiment, the pillow body 1 includes staggered pillow plates 2, with ventilation holes formed between adjacent pillow plates 2. The ventilation holes can be through holes or blind holes. Multiple staggered pillow plates 2 can form a triangular structure, making the ventilation holes triangular. The ventilation holes have openings on one side of the pillow surface.

[0034] This application can also be viewed as having several ventilation holes in the pillow body 1, and the sidewalls of the ventilation holes being connected in a plate-like manner to form a pillow board, or the sidewalls of the ventilation holes being linearly connected to form a pillow board.

[0035] In this application, the staggered pillow panels 2 form ventilation holes. Compared to the problem of traditional partitioned pillows hindering airflow, this application improves air circulation efficiency, enhances pillow breathability, and ensures that heat and moisture can dissipate quickly during sleep, reducing stuffiness. Simultaneously, the staggered pillow panels 2 themselves constitute a stable support frame, providing a reliable structural foundation for different sections, resulting in more stable support performance and avoiding the support weakening problem caused by the loose structure of traditional filling materials. Furthermore, this structural design, combined with TPE material, allows water to flow more smoothly through the gaps between the pillow panels 2 during washing, facilitating thorough cleaning and solving the problems of insufficient washability and difficulty in removing stains in traditional pillows. This reduces the risk of bacterial and mite growth, ensuring hygiene during use.

[0036] In one alternative embodiment, the pillow surface is perpendicular to the pillow board 2.

[0037] In this application, the pillow surface is perpendicular to the pillow board 2, ensuring a perfectly flat surface and preventing unevenness caused by the tilt of the pillow board 2. This optimizes the pillow's aesthetics and fit with the pillowcase, reducing localized pressure during sleep. Simultaneously, the vertical pillow board 2 distributes pressure more evenly across the entire pillow body 1, preventing pressure concentration in specific areas and resulting in more balanced pressure on the head, neck, and other parts of the body, thus improving sleep comfort, especially reducing discomfort in the cervical spine caused by uneven pressure. Furthermore, the vertical structure allows for better airflow through the ventilation holes, enhancing air circulation efficiency at the points of contact with the body and improving breathability. Additionally, the gaps between the vertical pillow board 2 facilitate water flow during washing, improving cleaning convenience.

[0038] In one optional embodiment, support structures 3 with different densities are located in different zones, and the support structures 3 are located at the intersection of the pillow plates 2. The support structure 3 can be a cylindrical structure, which can serve to enhance the support, and ventilation holes can also be provided in the cylindrical structure. The support structure 3 can also be triangular, rectangular, or other shapes, and this embodiment is not limited to these. Ventilation holes can also be provided in the middle of the support structure 3. The support structure can be regarded as the intersection of the sidewalls of the ventilation holes.

[0039] In this application, the support structure 3 with different densities can achieve functional zoning, providing differentiated support according to the support needs of different parts of the body. This solves the problems of traditional zoned pillows where the filling material is adjusted for height, the support performance is insufficient, or it is too rigid. It allows users to obtain suitable support in different sleeping positions such as supine and side-lying, reducing pressure on the neck and shoulders. The intersection of the pillow board 2 itself has higher structural strength. Setting the support structure 3 here makes the support force of each zone more stable and reliable. Especially in areas requiring strong support, such as the strong cervical spine support zone 5 and the side-lying zone 7, it can effectively avoid the problem of head sinking or neck hanging due to insufficient support, solving the defect of unstable support performance in traditional zoned pillows.

[0040] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pillow surface is divided into a fossa area 4, a strong cervical spine support area 5, a weak cervical spine support area 6, and a side-sleeping area 7. The strong cervical spine support area 5, the weak cervical spine support area 6, and the side-sleeping area 7 surround the fossa area 4. The fossa area 4, the strong cervical spine support area 5, the weak cervical spine support area 6, and the side-sleeping area 7 can be rectangular or polygonal, such as pentagons or hexagons. They can also be arc-shaped, forming circles or ellipses. The boundaries between the areas can be straight lines, broken lines, or arcs; this embodiment is not limited to these.

[0041] In this application, the fossa area 4 is located in the center, conforming to the natural placement of the head when lying supine, providing comfortable support for the head; the surrounding strong cervical support area 5 and weak support area correspond to the neck position, providing appropriate support according to the user's habits and body shape, preventing the neck from being unsupported and effectively preventing cervical discomfort; the side-sleeping area 7 is arranged on the outer side, making it convenient for the user to place their head naturally when turning over to sleep on their side, making the side-sleeping posture more comfortable. The transition between each functional area is natural, avoiding the discomfort caused by the abrupt structure of traditional partitioned pillows, while also making the overall structure of the pillow more harmonious and improving its aesthetics.

[0042] In one optional embodiment, there are two side-sleeping areas 7, located on either side of the pit of the head 4, with a strong cervical support area 5 and a weak cervical support area 6 also located on either side of the pit of the head 4. The two side-sleeping areas 7 can separate the strong cervical support area 5 and the weak cervical support area 6 on either side of the pit of the head 4. Users can choose to place either the strong cervical support area 5 or the weak cervical support area 6 on their cervical spine according to their needs to provide corresponding support.

[0043] In this application, the side sleeping areas 7 on both sides conform to the natural habit of turning from side to side, allowing users to find a suitable support area by adjusting their position when sleeping on their side, thus improving the convenience of use. The strong cervical spine support area 5 and the weak cervical spine support area 6 are located on both sides, providing users with more options when lying on their backs. Users of different body types and sleeping habits can choose the appropriate support area according to their own needs.

[0044] In one optional embodiment, the density of the support structure 3 within the strong cervical support zone 5 is greater than the density of the support structure 3 within the weak cervical support zone 6. Furthermore, the density of the support structure 3 within the side-sleeping zone 7 may be greater than the density of the support structure 3 within the strong cervical support zone 5.

[0045] In this application, when sleeping on one's side, the head requires greater support. The higher-density side-sleeping zone 7 provides stronger support, preventing the head from sinking excessively and leaving sufficient space for the shoulders, thus avoiding pressure on the shoulders during side sleeping and solving the problem of insufficient support in traditional side sleeping. The cervical spine strong support zone 5 has a moderate density, providing reliable support for the neck that requires strong support and avoiding discomfort caused by the neck being unsupported. The cervical spine weak support zone 6 has a lower density, suitable for users who prefer softer support, providing gentler support and meeting the personalized needs of different users.

[0046] In one alternative implementation, the partitioned pillow is made of TPE material.

[0047] In this application, TPE material exhibits excellent water resistance. Compared to memory foam, which collapses when exposed to water, and latex, which is prone to aging, this pillow is completely washable. This facilitates the removal of sweat, dander, and other stains accumulated during daily use, effectively reducing the growth of bacteria and mites and solving the hygiene hazards and allergy risks associated with traditional pillows. Simultaneously, TPE material itself has good breathability. Combined with the pillow's ventilation structure, it further enhances air circulation, avoiding the stuffiness and discomfort caused by the poor breathability of traditional materials, thus improving sleep quality. Furthermore, TPE material has good elasticity and is not easily deformed. After washing, it maintains the height and firmness of each section, ensuring stable support performance and solving the problem of reduced support performance after washing in traditional pillows, thereby extending the pillow's lifespan.
