Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Existing pillows include a pillow body and an anti-snoring component. The anti-snoring component includes a control box, a sleeping posture sensor band, and an anti-snoring pad with a unit bladder. The control box detects the user's head and neck position via the sleeping posture sensor band and inflates the unit bladder located below the head and neck, causing a localized bulge on the top surface of the pillow body and applying a pushing action to the head and neck, thereby prompting head and neck movement and improving breathing ease. To improve the detection reliability of the sleeping posture sensor band, it is exposed at the front edge of the pillow body for direct contact with the user's shoulders and neck. However, existing sleeping posture sensor bands cannot be removed or hidden, and are always exposed. This forces users to lie on the sleeping posture sensor band even when not using the anti-snoring component. This not only affects the sleep experience due to the foreign body sensation caused by the sleeping posture sensor band, but also makes the sleeping posture sensor band prone to damage due to long-term friction, shortening its lifespan and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pillow with a foldable sleeping posture sensing band. The sleeping posture sensing band is flexibly connected to the pillow body, allowing it to swing and switch between a use position and a storage position. It can sense the user's position in the use position and be used in conjunction with anti-snoring components, or it can be switched to the storage position to reduce the feeling of foreign objects, improve lying comfort, protect the sleeping posture sensing band, and enhance the user experience.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following method: a pillow with a foldable sleeping posture sensing band, comprising a pillow body and an anti-snoring component. The pillow body includes a pillow core and a pillowcase covering the pillow core. The anti-snoring component includes a sleeping posture sensing band disposed on the front edge of the pillow body. The front edge of the bottom of the pillow body and the rear edge of the sleeping posture sensing band are flexibly connected, allowing the sleeping posture sensing band to swing and switch between a usage position exposed at the front of the pillow body and a storage position hidden under the pillow body. The sleeping posture sensing band is flexibly connected to the pillow body, allowing it to swing and switch between the usage position and the storage position. When switched to the usage position, it provides the control box with user position information, thereby cooperating with the anti-snoring component to achieve an anti-snoring effect. When switched to the storage position, it effectively reduces the foreign body sensation for the user, improves lying comfort, and hides and protects the sleeping posture sensing band, effectively extending its service life and improving the user experience.

[0005] Preferably, both the sleeping posture sensing band and the bottom of the pillow body are equipped with connectors. When the sleeping posture sensing band swings to the storage position, it is fixed in place by the corresponding connectors, thus positioning the sleeping posture sensing band in the storage position. There are two connectors, one on the bottom of the sleeping posture sensing band and the other on the bottom of the pillow body. These connectors can be fixed when the sleeping posture sensing band is switched to the storage position, thereby positioning the sleeping posture sensing band and preventing it from detaching from the storage position, ensuring reliable concealment.

[0006] Preferably, the connector is a buckle, Velcro, or magnet, which facilitates the connection and disconnection of the connector, thereby facilitating the switching between the use and storage positions of the sleeping posture sensor belt. It also facilitates raw material preparation, reduces production costs, and has a small size, effectively eliminating the foreign object sensation caused by the installation of the connector.

[0007] Preferably, the pillowcase includes a main body and a front extension that tightly wrap around the pillow core and the sleeping posture sensor band. The front extension is pivotally positioned at the bottom front edge of the main body, allowing the sleeping posture sensor band to swing between a use position and a storage position. The pillowcase is a one-piece structure formed by sewing fabric, including a main body for wrapping the pillow core and a front extension for wrapping the sleeping posture sensor band. The connection between the main body and the front extension is made of flexible fabric, allowing the front extension to swing relative to the main body around the connection, thereby enabling the sleeping posture sensor band to switch between a use position and a storage position.

[0008] Preferably, the pillowcase has a connecting piece at the bottom, with its rear edge connected to the rear edge of the pillow's bottom surface and its front edge extending forward and connecting to the sleeping posture sensing band. This allows the sleeping posture sensing band to swing and switch between a use position and a storage position. The connecting piece swings around its rear edge, forming a forward-opening receiving groove between its top surface and the bottom surface of the pillow body. The sleeping posture sensing band flips backward into the receiving groove, where it is held and hidden by the closed groove. A connecting piece is also provided on the bottom surface of the pillow body, forming a forward-opening receiving groove between the connecting piece and the bottom surface. The end edge of the sleeping posture sensing band is connected to the front edge of the connecting piece via flexible fabric, allowing the sleeping posture sensing band to flip into the receiving groove and be securely stored by the closed groove, thus hiding and protecting the sleeping posture sensing band.

The anti-snoring pad is mounted on the functional pad, ensuring a fixed position between the anti-snoring pad and the pillow core's vertical projection. The row of unit cells allows for independent pressure control, enabling each unit cell to adjust the height of the corresponding area on the pillow's top surface through independent inflation and deflation, ensuring precise compression of the head and neck and achieving an anti-snoring effect through displacement.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-snoring pad includes a base pad and unit pockets arranged linearly along the width of the base pad. The unit pockets are square and there are at least six of them. The unit pockets are laid along the width of the functional pad and cover the middle and sides of the functional pad, ensuring that the user's head and neck can be pushed and displaced by the corresponding unit pockets when in any position on the top surface of the pillow.

[0011] Preferably, a central box is located at the center of the rear edge of the functional pad, and the central box is connected to the control box via a bundled pipeline. The control box is connected to the anti-snoring pad, the sleeping posture sensor strip, and the snoring detection device through the central box, serving as a data relay and airflow relay. The bundled pipeline contains electrical and airway pipelines, which facilitates uniform installation and provides good protection for the electrical and airway pipelines.

[0012] Preferably, the central control box is connected to the sleeping posture sensing strip via a first wire laid along the top surface of the functional pad. The first wire is connected to a corresponding circuit line via the central control box. The sleeping posture sensing strip is used to detect the user's sleeping posture and position, providing a reference for the control box to select and drive the corresponding anti-snoring intervention zone. The first wire is laid along the functional pad and is covered by the pillow body, effectively reducing the feeling of foreign objects and protecting the first wire.

[0013] Preferably, the central box is connected to each unit bladder through a bundled air tube laid along the top surface of the functional pad. The bundled air tube is provided with multiple unit air passages corresponding to each unit bladder, ensuring that the air pressure in each unit bladder can be adjusted independently.

[0014] Preferably, the anti-snoring component includes a snoring detection element disposed on both side walls of the pillowcase. The snoring detection element is connected to the central control box via a second wire laid along the side wall of the pillow core. The second wire is connected to a corresponding circuit line through the central control box. The snoring detection element is used to detect whether the user snores and provides a reference for the control box to perform subsequent operations. The second wire, laid along the side wall of the pillow, effectively avoids the top surface of the pillow, reducing the feeling of a foreign object and protecting the second wire.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The sleeping posture sensing band is connected to the pillow body in a flexible manner, allowing the sleeping posture sensing band to swing and switch between the use position and the storage position. When switched to the use position, it can provide the control box with the user's position information, and then be used in conjunction with the anti-snoring component to achieve the effect of anti-snoring. When switched to the storage position, it can effectively reduce the foreign body sensation caused to the user, improve lying comfort, and hide and protect the sleeping posture sensing band, effectively extending the service life of the sleeping posture sensing band and improving the user experience.

[0025] The essential features of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] This embodiment provides a pillow.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 The pillow shown in Figure 3 includes a pillow body 1 and an anti-snoring component. The pillow body 1 includes a pillow core 2 and a pillowcase 3 covering the pillow core 2. The anti-snoring component includes a sleeping posture sensing band 4 disposed on the front edge of the pillow body 1. The front edge of the bottom of the pillow body 1 and the rear edge of the sleeping posture sensing band 4 are flexibly connected, allowing the sleeping posture sensing band 4 to swing and switch between a usage position exposed in front of the pillow body 1 and a storage position hidden under the pillow body 1. The sleeping posture sensing band 4 is flexibly connected to the pillow body 1, allowing it to swing and switch between the usage position and the storage position. When switched to the usage position, it provides the control box 12 with user location information, thereby cooperating with the anti-snoring component to achieve an anti-snoring effect. When switched to the storage position, it effectively reduces the foreign body sensation for the user, improves lying comfort, and hides and protects the sleeping posture sensing band 4, effectively extending the service life of the sleeping posture sensing band 4 and improving the user experience.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the sleeping posture sensing band 4 and the bottom of the pillow body 1 are provided with connecting members 5. The sleeping posture sensing band 4 swings to the storage position and is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting member 5 so that the sleeping posture sensing band 4 is positioned in the storage position. The sleeping posture sensing band 4 is long and strip-shaped and laid with equal width along the front edge of the pillow body 1. One end of the sleeping posture sensing band 4 is flexibly connected to the pillow body 1 to facilitate swinging and switching positions. The other end is provided with a connecting member 5 to ensure that the sleeping posture sensing band 4 can match and connect with another connecting member 5 provided at the bottom of the pillow body 1 when swinging and switching to the storage position. This fixes the sleeping posture sensing band 4 and ensures that it maintains a flat posture, preventing bending, pressure damage, or other issues.

[0030] In this embodiment, the connector 5 is preferably a hook and loop fastener, which has a smaller structure, effectively reducing the foreign body sensation caused to the user when the sleeping posture sensing belt 4 is in the use position, and also facilitates fastening and unfastening, improving operational convenience. Furthermore, the connector 5 can also be Velcro or a magnet, both of which should be considered specific embodiments of this utility model.

[0031] In this embodiment, the pillowcase 3 has a main body 6 and a front extension 7 that can tightly wrap the pillow core 2 and the sleeping posture sensing band 4. The front extension 7 is swayably disposed at the bottom front edge of the main body 6, so that the sleeping posture sensing band 4 can swing and switch between the use position and the storage position. The pillowcase 3 is formed by sewing together flexible fabric and includes a main body 6 that matches the contour of the pillow core 2 and a flat front extension 7 formed by extending forward from the bottom front edge of the main body 6. The sleeping posture sensing band 4 can be inserted flatly and tightly into the front extension 7. The front extension 7 is connected to the main body 6 by flexible fabric, which ensures that the sleeping posture sensing band 4 can swing and switch freely between the use position and the storage position, and also ensures that the sleeping posture sensing band 4 and the pillow core 2 are arranged adjacent to each other, ensuring that the first wire 16 will not be pulled, and ensuring the reliability of use.

[0032] In this embodiment, the anti-snoring component includes a functional pad 10 disposed below the pillow core 2, an anti-snoring pad 11 disposed on the functional pad 10, an external control box 12, and a snoring detection element 18 disposed on the side of the pillowcase 3. The anti-snoring pad 11 includes several unit bladders 13 arranged along the width direction of the functional pad 10 and capable of independent inflation and deflation. The control box 12 receives signals from the sleeping posture sensing band 4 and inflates and deflates the unit bladders 13 located below the target, thereby driving the target to move by changing the contour of the top surface of the pillow body 1. The unit bladders 13 are arranged along the width direction of the functional pad 10, so that each area of ​​the top surface of the pillow body 1 can be independently bulged and deformed, thereby applying a pushing force to the user's head and neck, ensuring that the user can eliminate snoring through body movement, thus achieving the effect of anti-snoring.

[0033] When in use, the snoring detection device 18 is always open when the user is using the pillow, transmitting audio signals to the control box 12 in real time, so that the control box 12 can determine whether the user is snoring; when the user makes a snoring sound and the control box 12 confirms it, the control box 12 detects the position of the user's head and neck through the sleeping posture sensor 4, and confirms the corresponding unit sac 13 located below the user's head and neck. The control box 12 inflates the unit sac 13, causing the top surface of the pillow body 1 to bulge and deform in the area below the head and neck, thereby pushing the head and neck to turn and move, thereby improving breathing and playing a role in stopping snoring.

[0034] In this embodiment, the anti-snoring pad 11 includes a base pad 14 and unit pouches 13 arranged linearly along the width direction of the base pad 14. The unit pouches 13 are square and there are at least six, preferably eight (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it can effectively reduce the area of ​​the raised area on the top surface of the pillow body 1, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy, and can also effectively limit the quantity, making production and maintenance convenient.

[0035] In this embodiment, a central box 15 is provided at the center of the rear edge of the functional pad 10. The central box 15 is connected to the control box 12 via a bundled conduit 20. The central box 15 is located at the center of the rear edge of the functional pad 10, which facilitates connection to the control box 12 via the bundled conduit, enabling the transmission of signals and high-pressure gas. It also effectively avoids the area of ​​the pillow body 1 that supports the head and neck, preventing the user from experiencing a foreign body sensation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the central box 15 is connected to the sleeping posture sensing band 4 via a first wire 16 laid along the top surface of the functional pad 10. The first wire 16 is connected to the corresponding circuit line through the central box 15. The length of the sleeping posture sensing band 4 matches the length of the front edge of the pillow body 1, effectively expanding the detection range and improving the detection accuracy, ensuring that the control box 12 can drive the corresponding anti-snoring sac to move.

[0037] In this embodiment, the snoring detection element 18 is disposed on both side walls of the pillowcase 3 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown, the snoring detection device 18 is connected to the central box 15 via a second wire 17 laid along the side wall of the pillow core 2. The second wire 17 is connected to the corresponding circuit line through the central box 15. The snoring detection device 18 operates throughout the user's sleep, facilitating the control box 12 to trigger subsequent anti-snoring operations upon detecting snoring. The snoring detection device 18 passes through the pillowcase 3 and is exposed, making it convenient to receive external sound sources.

[0038] In this embodiment, the central box 15 is connected to each unit capsule 13 via a cluster air tube 19 laid along the top surface of the functional pad 10. The cluster air tube 19 is provided with unit tubes corresponding to the number of unit capsules 13, ensuring that each unit capsule 13 can achieve independent air pressure adjustment through the corresponding unit tube.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] Compared to Example 1, this example provides another type of pillow.

[0041] like Figure 6 , 7As shown in Figure 8, a connecting piece 8 is provided below the pillowcase 3. The rear edge of the connecting piece 8 is connected to the rear edge of the pillow bottom surface, and the front edge extends forward and connects to the sleeping posture sensing band 4, so that the sleeping posture sensing band 4 can swing and switch between the use position and the storage position. The connecting piece 8 swings with its rear edge as the center, and forms a forward-opening receiving groove 9 between its top surface and the bottom surface of the pillow body 1. The sleeping posture sensing band 4 is flipped backward into the receiving groove 9 so that the sleeping posture sensing band 4 is clamped and hidden by the closed receiving groove 9. The connecting piece 8 is provided on the bottom surface of the pillow body 1, and a forward-opening receiving groove 9 is formed between the connecting piece 8 and the bottom surface of the pillow body 1. The end edge of the sleeping posture sensing band 4 is connected to the front edge of the connecting piece 8 by a flexible fabric, so that the sleeping posture sensing band 4 can be flipped into the receiving groove 9 and clamped and stored by the closed receiving groove 9, which plays the role of hiding and protecting the sleeping posture sensing band 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connecting piece 8 is square and has good deformation resistance. The rear edge of the connecting piece 8 is flexibly connected to the rear edge of the bottom surface of the pillowcase 3, and the front edge of the connecting piece 8 is flexibly connected to the sleeping posture sensing band 4. This ensures that the connecting piece 8 can swing around its rear edge to form a forward-opening receiving groove 9 for storing the sleeping posture sensing band 4, and also ensures that the sleeping posture sensing band 4 can swing and switch between a working position exposed in the receiving groove 9 and a storage position that is in contact with the top surface of the connecting piece. When the sleeping posture sensing band 4 swings and switches to the storage groove, the connecting piece swings upward and contacts the bottom surface of the pillow body 1, which clamps and hides the sleeping posture sensing band 4.
