Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model is in the technical field of everyday items, specifically a pillow that allows easy adjustment of neck support height. [Background technology]

[0002] Pillows are an essential part of people's daily lives, and their core function is to provide support for the head and neck, maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical spine during sleep, and ensure relaxation and comfort. Existing height-adjustable pillows are mainly divided into two types.

[0003] 1. Add-on / off filling: Add small packs of filling material to the pillow, and users can roughly adjust the overall height by adding or removing these packs.

[0004] 2. Full airbag type: The entire pillow or its main supporting part is designed as one large airbag, and the height can be adjusted by inflating or releasing air using the air valve.

[0005] However, the first method of directly increasing or decreasing the filling has obvious drawbacks: the adjustment process is cumbersome, and it is difficult to store the filling after removing it. The adjustment is global, making it impossible to achieve precise and independent adjustment of the important cervical area. The adjustment granularity is coarse, making it impossible to achieve precise and stepless changes.

[0006] The second drawback of full-airbag adjustable pillows is that they provide stiff support after filling and lack the soft, enveloping feel of traditional pillows. When deflated, they collapse too much and lack support; the airbags tend to cause a swaying or unstable feeling during sleep, affecting sleep quality; and more importantly, they still lack a segmented design for the head and neck, failing to provide adequate cervical support.

[0007] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a pillow that allows easy adjustment of the neck support height was devised. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the drawbacks of the above-mentioned technology and to provide a pillow that allows easy adjustment of the neck support height. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is a pillow with an easily adjustable neck support height, which comprises a pillow body and a height adjustment mechanism installed within the pillow body for adjusting the neck support height of the pillow body. The pillow body is designed to have a head support area and a neck support area, the head support area being located on the upper side of the pillow body and used to provide soft, breathable wrapping and support to the head, the neck support area being located on the lower side of the pillow body, and the height adjustment mechanism being provided in the neck support area. The height adjustment mechanism includes a base support section and a height adjustment section. Two division layers are provided within the cervical support region, which divide the interior of the cervical support region into three chambers: upper, middle, and lower. The base support section fills both the upper and lower chambers of the cervical support region, providing stable and reliable base support and preventing an unstable swaying sensation during sleep. The height adjustment section is installed laterally within the middle chamber of the cervical support region, thereby locally changing the height and hardness of the cervical support region and achieving precise and stepless adjustment of cervical support.

[0010] As an improvement, the base support portion is a PE hose with excellent support and fluidity, which is uniformly distributed throughout both the upper and lower chambers in the cervical support area and is installed in multiple layers, and is used to provide support to the cervical region.

[0011] As an improvement, the base support portion is made of 3D pearl cotton, which is filled throughout both the upper and lower chambers in the cervical support area and is used to provide soft, breathable wrapping and support to the cervical area.

[0012] As an improvement, the height adjustment unit includes an airbag and an air-filling / deflation device. The airbag is installed in the middle cavity in the neck support area, and one end of the airbag is connected to an air tube. The other end of the air tube extends to the outside of the pillow body, and the air-filling / deflation device is provided with an air valve that communicates with the air tube. By operating the air-filling / deflation device and the air valve, air is filled or discharged into the airbag, and the airbag is inflated or deflated, thereby locally changing the height and hardness of the neck support area and achieving precise and stepless adjustment of neck support.

[0013] As an improvement, the head support area is provided with projections on either side of the upper end to position the head when sleeping on one's back and provide good support when sleeping on one's side.

[0014] As an improvement, the back of the head support area is provided with a pocket. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0016] 1. Simple and precise stepless adjustment of cervical height: This utility model installs an independent airbag in the cervical support area as a "height adjustment component," allowing users to easily adjust the height of the cervical support area by simply operating an external air-filling / releasing device. This adjustment process is extremely simple and does not require disassembling the pillow or adding or removing filling. More importantly, stepless height adjustment is achieved by air-filling, allowing users to lie on the pillow and precisely adjust the height to the millimeter to find the optimum fit, solving the problems of the traditional method of adjusting by adding or removing filling, which is complicated to operate, has a coarse adjustment granularity, and cannot accurately match the curvature of the cervical spine.

[0017] 2. Achieves both comfort and stable support: This utility model adopts a composite structure of "hose base layer + airbag adjustment layer." The "base support" made of hose provides firm and stable base support similar to traditional pillows, effectively avoiding the drawbacks of pure airbag pillows, such as being too hard after inflation, too soft after inflation, and prone to shaking and instability during sleep, and ensuring stable sleep quality; at the same time, the 3D pearl cotton in the head and the hose in the neck are both soft and breathable, ensuring a comfortable overall experience.

[0018] 3. Conforms to ergonomic divided support design: This utility model has a divided treatment for the head and neck, making it more flexible. The head support area focuses on providing soft support and pressure relief, while the neck support area focuses on providing strong and adjustable support. This design more scientifically fits the physiological structure of the human head and neck, allowing the cervical spine to maintain a more natural posture that is closer to the physiological curvature whether lying on your back or on your side. This fundamentally solves the problem that fixed-height pillows cannot simultaneously accommodate different sleeping positions and user body types, and effectively prevents and relieves cervical fatigue.

[0019] 4. Simple structure and strong practicality: The core adjusting parts (airbags, air valves) of this utility model are all mature and low-cost parts, do not require complex mechanical structures, are easy to produce and assemble, and are highly reliable and have a long service life.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] The pillow according to the present invention, which allows easy adjustment of the neck support height, will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, this is a pillow whose neck support height can be easily adjusted, and comprises a pillow body 1 and a height adjustment mechanism provided inside the pillow body 1 for adjusting the neck height.

[0024] The pillow body 1 has a head support region 2 and a neck support region 3 formed by a divided-region design, the head support region 2 and the neck support region 3 being divided by fabric, the head support region 2 being located on the upper side of the pillow body 1 and used to provide soft, breathable wrapping and support to the head, the neck support region 3 being located on the lower side of the pillow body 1, and the height adjustment mechanism being provided in the neck support region 3. The head support region 2 and the neck support region 3 are physically molded as one unit.

[0025] The height adjustment mechanism includes a base support section and a height adjustment section. Two division layers 11 are provided within the cervical support region 3, which divide the interior of the cervical support region 3 into three chambers: upper, middle, and lower. The division layers 11 are made of fabric. The base support section fills both the upper and lower chambers of the cervical support region 3, providing stable and reliable base support and preventing an unstable swaying sensation during sleep. The height adjustment section is installed laterally within the middle chamber of the cervical support region 3, allowing for localized changes in the height and hardness of the cervical support region 3, achieving precise and stepless adjustment of cervical support.

[0026] In Example 1, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the basic support part is a PE hose 4 with excellent support and fluidity, and the PE hose 4 is uniformly distributed throughout both the upper and lower chambers in the cervical support region 3 and installed in multiple layers to provide support to the cervical region.

[0027] The presence of the PE hose 4 significantly increases the overall support rigidity and stability of the base support portion, effectively avoiding shaking and a feeling of instability that may occur when the entire cervical support region 3 is too soft during sleep.

[0028] The height adjustment unit includes an airbag 6 and an air-filling / deflation device 7. The airbag 6 is filled in the middle cavity in the neck support region and is made of a flexible, airtight material such as TPU or rubber. An air tube 8 is connected to one end of the airbag 6, and the other end of the air tube 8 extends to the outside of the pillow body 1. The air-filling / deflation device 7 is provided with an air valve 9 that communicates with the air tube 8. Air can be filled into the airbag 6 by operating the air-filling / deflation device 7, and air can be discharged from the airbag 6 by pressing the air valve 9 when air release is required. The airbag 6 inflates or deflates, locally changing the height and hardness of the neck support region 3, thereby achieving precise and stepless adjustment of neck support.

[0029] The air-inflating device 7 is a manually inflated balloon, a miniature air pump, or an electric pump, and the operable part thereof is installed at a position beside the pillow where the user can easily reach it.

[0030] If the user feels that the cervical support is insufficient during use, they operate the air-filling device 7 to fill the air bag 6 with air. The air bag 6 then inflates, pushing the upper PE hose 4 layers upward while simultaneously compressing the lower filling, thereby locally and precisely increasing the raised height and support hardness in the center of the cervical support area 3. Conversely, if the support is felt to be too high or too hard, they press the air valve 9 to release the gas inside the air bag 6, causing the air bag 6 to contract and reduce the height and hardness of the cervical support area 3. The air-filling process can be continuously controlled, allowing for stepless, fine adjustment of height and hardness. The user can make fine adjustments in real time while lying on the pillow to find the support that best suits the physiological curvature of their cervical spine.

[0031] In Example 2, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the basic support part is made of 3D pearl cotton 5, which is filled throughout both the upper and lower cavities in the cervical support region 3, and is used to provide soft, breathable wrapping and support to the cervical region.

[0032] The height adjustment unit includes an airbag 6 and an air-filling / deflation device 7. The airbag 6 is installed in the middle cavity of the neck support region and is made of a flexible, airtight material such as TPU or rubber. An air tube 8 is connected to one end of the airbag 6, and the other end of the air tube 8 extends to the outside of the pillow body 1. The air-filling / deflation device 7 is provided with an air valve 9 that communicates with the air tube 8. Air can be filled into the airbag 6 by operating the air-filling / deflation device 7, and air can be discharged from the airbag 6 by pressing the air valve 9 when air release is required. The airbag 6 inflates or deflates, locally changing the height and hardness of the neck support region 3 and achieving precise and stepless adjustment of neck support.

[0033] The air-inflating device 7 is a manually inflated balloon, a miniature air pump, or an electric pump, and the operable part thereof is installed at a position beside the pillow where the user can easily reach it.

[0034] If the user feels that the cervical support is insufficient during use, they operate the air-filling device 7 to fill the air bag 6 with air. The air bag 6 then inflates, pushing the upper PE hose 4 and 3D pearl cotton 5 layers upward while simultaneously compressing the lower filling, thereby locally and precisely increasing the raised height and support hardness in the center of the cervical support area 3. Conversely, if the support is felt to be too high or too hard, they press the air valve 9 to release the gas inside the air bag 6, causing the air bag 6 to contract and reduce the height and hardness of the cervical support area 3. The air-filling process can be continuously controlled, allowing for stepless, fine-tuning of the height and hardness. The user can make fine adjustments in real time while lying on the pillow to find the support that best suits their own physiological curvature of the cervical spine.

[0035] The head support area 2 has protrusions 10 on both sides of its upper end, which position the head when the user sleeps on their back (i.e., with the head resting on the head support area 2 and the face facing up) and provide good support when sleeping on their side (i.e., with the face facing to the side).

[0036] The inside of the head support area 2 is also filled with 3D pearl cotton 5, which is used to provide soft, breathable wrapping and support for the head. The inside of the head support area 2 may also be filled with memory cotton, latex, or other soft materials, the main function of which is to provide comfortable wrapping and support, and to cooperate with the adjustable neck support area 3 to jointly maintain the natural physiological curve of the head and neck.

[0037] A pocket 11 is provided on the back of the head support area 2, and can be used to store the air charging / discharging device 7 and the air tube 8 inside the pocket 11, making storage easy.
