Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of pillows, and more particularly to a silicone shaping pillow. Background Technology

[0002] In the pillow industry, as people's pursuit of healthy and comfortable sleep continues to increase, various functional pillows have emerged. For infants, a suitable pillow is especially important because their bodies are still developing. A pillow must not only meet their basic sleep needs but also consider its impact on their physical development. A good baby pillow can provide a comfortable sleep experience for infants, promote their healthy growth, and also give parents greater peace of mind. Under this trend, the market demand for baby pillows with special functions and designs is growing daily.

[0003] In the traditional baby pillow market, various technologies are typically employed to meet the sleep and growth needs of infants. Common choices include cotton pillows, which are soft, provide comfort, and are relatively affordable, making them a popular choice for many parents. Memory foam pillows offer excellent shaping capabilities, adjusting to the shape and pressure of the baby's head for a more supportive fit. Buckwheat hull pillows are also a common option, offering some breathability to keep the baby's head relatively dry. These traditional pillows, to a certain extent, meet the basic sleep needs of infants.

[0004] However, traditional baby pillows also have many drawbacks. For example, cotton pillows have poor breathability; babies have a high metabolism and their heads sweat easily, which can lead to stuffiness, heat rash, and even affect sleep comfort. Cotton pillows are also prone to absorbing moisture, making them a breeding ground for bacteria when babies spit up or drool, and they are difficult to dry after washing. While memory foam pillows have good shaping capabilities, some products may contain harmful substances, posing a potential risk to the baby's health. Buckwheat hull pillows offer relatively limited support and are not ideal for protecting the baby's cervical spine. Furthermore, traditional pillows are not effective at shaping the baby's head, making it difficult to effectively prevent or improve problems such as head tilt. This issue urgently needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the shaping effect and sleep comfort, and to help prevent problems such as head tilt, this application provides a silicone shaping pillow.

[0006] This application provides a silicone shaping pillow, which adopts the following technical solution: A silicone shaping pillow includes a head support, a neck support, and a circumferential limiting part. The circumferential limiting part and the neck support surround the head support. The head support, neck support, and circumferential limiting part are all made of food-grade silicone and are integrally molded. The height of the circumferential limiting part is higher than that of the head support and neck support. Both the head support and the circumferential limiting part have a honeycomb structure.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the head support section supports the baby's head, the neck support section supports the baby's neck, and the environmentally friendly limiting section helps to fix the baby's head. This helps to reduce the frequency of head turning and displacement during sleep, thus helping to prevent problems such as head tilt. The food-grade silicone material is safe and non-toxic, and does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, fluorescent agents, bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalates, reducing the risk of skin allergies, respiratory irritation, or accidental ingestion. Furthermore, since babies have delicate skin and their mouths easily come into contact with the pillow (e.g., when they chew on it while rolling over), the food-grade silicone material ensures its safety. It should be noted that the baby's cervical spine is not yet fully developed (the cervical spine is naturally curved in 0-1 year olds, and may not even need an extra pillow for the first 3 months). A pillow that is too hard can compress the cervical spine, while a pillow that is too soft cannot provide support. Silicone pillows fully utilize elastic support properties, offering a soft yet non-collapsed feel. They gently support an infant's head, maintaining the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine and preventing head tilting (such as the risk of plagiocephaly). They also quickly rebound after being pressed, preventing deformation from infant rolling over and maintaining stable support even with long-term use. Adapting to different sleeping positions, they provide both support and protection. Furthermore, infants have a high metabolism and sweat easily from their heads. Traditional pillows with poor breathability can easily lead to stuffiness, heat rash, and even affect sleep comfort. The head support and the surrounding restraining parts are designed with a honeycomb structure, creating dense air circulation channels. Air can circulate freely between the holes, quickly removing heat and sweat from the head, keeping it dry, reducing heat rash, and thus improving sleep comfort.

[0008] Preferably, the head support portion is arranged in an arc-shaped concave shape.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the concave arc design of the head support fits the baby's head better, providing a more comfortable support effect.

[0010] Preferably, the honeycomb structure of the head support portion is configured as an inner layer of small hole texture, and the honeycomb structure of the circumferential limiting portion is configured as an outer layer of honeycomb texture, wherein the pore diameter of the inner layer of small hole texture is smaller than the pore diameter of the outer layer of honeycomb texture.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner layer of small pore texture can enhance the skin-friendly fit and solve the problem of discomfort caused by a single texture. The outer honeycomb texture ensures breathability, heat dissipation and shape support. The combination of the two achieves comprehensive optimization of "ergonomics + material characteristics + usage scenarios". It not only strengthens the support advantages of silicone material itself, but also makes up for its potential shortcomings such as breathability and anti-slip, so as to achieve more precise support, drier sleep, and stronger durability.

[0012] Preferably, the pore size of the outer honeycomb texture gradually increases from the inside to the outside.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, from a mechanical perspective, the gradual aperture design allows for a more reasonable distribution of force on the pillow. The smaller aperture and relatively denser structure on the inner side of the outer honeycomb texture provide better support, maintaining the overall shape of the pillow and providing basic support for the head and neck. The larger aperture and relatively looser structure on the outer side make it more easily deformed under pressure, thus better adapting to the contours of the head and neck and improving comfort during use. In addition, the difference in aperture at different locations results in different firmness and deformation capabilities in different parts of the pillow. That is, the inner side of the outer honeycomb texture has good support performance, while the outer side has good conforming performance. This differential performance distribution can better adapt to the physiological structure of the infant's head and neck. Whether lying on their back or side, the infant can obtain appropriate support and cushioning at different contact points, thereby improving overall adaptability.

[0014] Preferably, the neck support portion and the circumferential limiting portion are connected end to end, and the neck support portion has a smooth concave curved surface transition along its length direction.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this setting not only provides limiting support for the infant's neck, but also makes the neck fit more closely with the neck support, thereby improving comfort.

[0016] Preferably, the circumferential limiting portion has a smooth outward convex curved surface transition along its width direction.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, this design makes the exterior of the silicone shaping pillow smooth and reliable, which helps to improve safety.

[0018] Preferably, the height of the neck support is set to 13-15mm.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, setting the height of the neck support within this range can provide better support for the infant's neck.

[0020] Preferably, the height range of the circumferential limiting part is set to 29-31mm.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, setting the height of the embracing and limiting part within this range can provide a better limiting effect on the baby's head.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By using food-grade silicone for the head support, neck support, and embracing restraint, all integrally molded, with the head support and embracing restraint featuring a honeycomb structure, this pillow is safe and non-toxic, free of formaldehyde, fluorescent agents, bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and other harmful substances. This reduces the risk of skin allergies, respiratory irritation, or accidental ingestion. Furthermore, infants have delicate skin and their mouths easily come into contact with the pillow (e.g., when they chew on it while rolling over). The food-grade silicone ensures its safety. It should be noted that an infant's cervical spine is not yet fully developed (the cervical spine has a natural curve in infants aged 0-1 years, and may not even require an additional pillow for the first 3 months). A pillow that is too firm can compress the cervical spine, while one that is too soft... While not providing direct support, silicone pillows utilize their elastic support properties, offering a soft yet non-collapsed feel. They gently support the baby's head, maintaining the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine and preventing head tilting (such as the risk of plagiocephaly). They also rebound quickly after being pressed, preventing deformation from baby rolling over and maintaining stable support even with long-term use. Adapting to different sleeping positions, they provide both support and protection. Furthermore, both the head support and the surrounding restraint sections feature a honeycomb structure, creating dense airflow channels. Air circulates freely between the holes, quickly removing heat and sweat from the head, keeping it dry, reducing heat rash, and thus improving sleep comfort.

[0023] 2. By setting the honeycomb structure of the head support as the inner layer of small holes and the honeycomb structure of the surrounding limiting part as the outer layer of honeycomb texture, the inner layer of small holes can enhance the skin-friendly fit and solve the problem of discomfort caused by a single texture. The outer layer of honeycomb texture ensures breathability, heat dissipation and shape support. The combination of the two achieves comprehensive optimization of "ergonomics + material characteristics + usage scenarios". It not only strengthens the support advantages of silicone material itself, but also makes up for its potential shortcomings such as breathability and anti-slip, so as to achieve more precise support, drier sleep and stronger durability.

[0024] 3. By setting the pore size of the outer honeycomb texture to gradually increase from the inside to the outside, from a mechanical point of view, the gradual pore size design can make the force distribution of the pillow more reasonable. The pore size on the inner side of the outer honeycomb structure is smaller and the structure is relatively dense, which can provide better support, maintain the overall shape of the pillow and provide basic support for the head and neck. The pore size on the outer side is larger and the structure is relatively loose, making it easier to deform under pressure, so as to better adapt to the contour of the head and neck, which is conducive to improving the comfort during use. In addition, the difference in pore size in different locations makes the softness, firmness and deformation ability of the pillow different in different parts. That is, the inner side of the outer honeycomb structure has good support performance, and the outer side has good conforming performance. This differential performance distribution can better adapt to the physiological structure of the infant's head and neck. Whether lying on the back or side, it can obtain appropriate support and cushioning at different contact points, thus improving the overall adaptability. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] In the traditional baby pillow market, to meet the sleep and growth needs of infants, common choices include cotton pillows. These pillows are soft, provide comfort, and are relatively affordable, making them a popular choice for many parents. Memory foam pillows also exist, offering good shaping capabilities and adjusting to the shape and pressure of the baby's head for a more supportive fit. Buckwheat hull pillows are another common option, offering some breathability to keep the baby's head relatively dry. While these traditional pillows meet the basic sleep needs of infants to a certain extent, they also have several drawbacks. For example, cotton pillows have poor breathability; infants have a high metabolism and sweat easily, which can lead to stuffiness, heat rash, and even affect sleep comfort. Furthermore, cotton pillows are prone to permeation, which can cause bacterial growth when the baby spits up or drools, and they are difficult to dry after washing. While memory foam pillows offer good shaping capabilities, some products may contain harmful substances, posing a potential health risk to infants. Buckwheat hull pillows offer relatively limited support and are not ideal for protecting the infant's cervical spine. Furthermore, traditional pillows are not very effective in shaping the baby's head, and are difficult to prevent or improve problems such as asymmetrical head shape in infants.

[0031] To address the aforementioned problems, this application discloses a silicone shaping pillow, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a head support 1, a neck support 2, and a circumferential limiting part 3. The circumferential limiting part 3 and the neck support 2 surround the head support 1. The head support 1, the neck support 2, and the circumferential limiting part 3 are all made of food-grade silicone material and are integrally molded.

[0032] It should be noted that food-grade silicone is safe and non-toxic, and does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, fluorescent agents, bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalates. This reduces the risk of skin allergies, respiratory irritation, or accidental ingestion. In addition, babies have delicate skin and their mouths are easily in contact with pillows (such as when they roll over and chew on them), and food-grade silicone ensures its safety.

[0033] It's worth mentioning that an infant's cervical spine is not yet fully developed (the cervical spine is naturally curved in infants aged 0-1 years, and may not even require an extra pillow for infants under 3 months). A pillow that is too hard can compress the cervical spine, while a pillow that is too soft cannot provide support. Silicone pillows make full use of elastic support characteristics, are soft to the touch but do not collapse, and can gently support the baby's head, maintain the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine, and prevent the head from tilting (such as the risk of plagiocephaly). They can also quickly rebound after being pressed and will not deform due to the baby rolling over. They can maintain stable support even after long-term use, adapt to different sleeping positions of the baby, and provide both support and protection.

[0034] In addition to its advantages, food-grade silicone shaping pillows also offer benefits such as water and stain resistance, easy cleaning, mite and antibacterial properties, and reduced allergy triggers. Infants may experience spitting up, drooling, or bedwetting (as the baby's body is close to the pillow). Traditional cotton pillows are prone to water penetration and bacterial growth, and are difficult to dry after washing. Silicone, however, is waterproof and impermeable; liquids remain on the surface and do not penetrate the pillow. Cleaning is simple with a damp towel, eliminating the need for frequent washing. Furthermore, infants have weak respiratory and skin resistance, and mites and bacteria are common triggers for allergies (such as rhinitis and eczema). Silicone itself does not easily attract dust and mites.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The height of the embracing and limiting part 3 is higher than that of the head support part 1 and the neck support part 2. This embracing, recessed design helps to stabilize the baby's head, reducing the frequency of head turning and shifting during sleep and thus helping to prevent head tilting and other problems. Furthermore, the embracing and limiting part 3 has a smooth, outwardly convex curved surface along its width, ensuring a smooth and reliable exterior for the silicone shaping pillow and improving safety. The height of the embracing and limiting part 3 is set between 29-31 mm to provide better head control; in this embodiment, the height is set to 30 mm.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The head support part 1 is designed with an arc-shaped concave shape to fit the baby's head better and provide more comfortable support. The even support and fit design can distribute the pressure of the head on the pillow surface and prevent a certain part of the head (such as the center or one side of the back of the head) from bearing excessive pressure for a long time, thereby reducing the risk of head shape deformation caused by local pressure to a certain extent.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Both the head support 1 and the surrounding limiting part 3 are designed with a honeycomb structure. Specifically, the honeycomb structure of the head support 1 is set as an inner layer of small hole texture 4, and the honeycomb structure of the surrounding limiting part 3 is set as an outer layer of honeycomb texture 5. The pore diameter of the inner layer of small hole texture 4 is smaller than that of the outer layer of honeycomb texture 5. The inner layer of small hole texture 4 can enhance the skin-friendly fit and solve the problem of discomfort caused by a single texture. The outer layer of honeycomb texture 5 ensures breathability, heat dissipation and shape support. The combination of the two achieves comprehensive optimization of "ergonomics + material characteristics + usage scenarios", which not only enhances the support advantages of silicone material itself, but also makes up for its potential shortcomings such as breathability and anti-slip, so as to achieve more precise support, drier sleep, and greater durability.

[0038] It's worth noting that the pore size of the outer honeycomb texture 5 gradually increases from the inside to the outside. From a mechanical perspective, this gradual pore size design allows for a more reasonable distribution of force on the pillow. The inner pores of the outer honeycomb texture 5 are smaller and the structure is relatively dense, providing better support and maintaining the overall shape of the pillow and basic support for the head and neck. The outer pores are larger and the structure is relatively loose, making it easier to deform under pressure, thus better adapting to the contours of the head and neck and improving comfort during use. In addition, the difference in pore size at different locations results in different firmness and deformation capabilities in different parts of the pillow. That is, the inner side of the outer honeycomb texture 5 has good support performance, while the outer side has good conforming performance. This differential performance distribution can better adapt to the physiological structure of the infant's head and neck. Whether lying on their back or side, the infant can obtain appropriate support and cushioning at different contact points, thereby improving overall adaptability.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The neck support 2 and the embracing and limiting part 3 are connected end to end, and the neck support 2 has a smooth concave curve transition along its length direction. This provides limiting support for the infant's neck while allowing the neck to fit more closely to the neck support 2, thereby improving comfort. To provide better support for the infant's neck, the height of the neck support 2 is set in the range of 13-15mm. In this embodiment, the height of the neck support 2 is selected as 14mm.

[0040] The implementation principle of a silicone shaping pillow in this application embodiment is as follows: Food-grade silicone material is safe and non-toxic, free of harmful substances such as formaldehyde, fluorescent agents, bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalates, reducing the risk of skin allergies, respiratory irritation, or accidental ingestion. Infants have delicate skin and their mouths easily come into contact with the pillow (e.g., when they bite it while rolling over). Food-grade silicone material ensures safety. A pillow that is too hard can compress the cervical spine, while one that is too soft cannot provide support. Silicone pillows fully utilize elastic support characteristics, are soft to the touch but do not collapse, gently supporting the infant's head, maintaining the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine, and preventing head tilting (e.g., the risk of plagiocephaly). It also rebounds quickly after being pressed, and will not deform due to the infant rolling over. It maintains stable support even with long-term use, adapting to different sleeping positions of the infant, providing both support and protection. Both the head support part 1 and the surrounding limiting part 3 are designed with a honeycomb structure, creating dense air circulation channels in the pillow. Air can circulate freely between the holes, quickly removing heat and sweat from the head, keeping the head dry, reducing heat rash, and thus improving sleep comfort.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
