The operation of the pillow massager according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7 .

In general, the sleep cycle is divided into several stages, and it is largely divided into rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in which the eyes move rapidly. REM sleep, in which rapid eye movement occurs, is sleep while dreaming, and has the characteristic of irregular heartbeat and breathing.

In the NREM sleep state, sleep stages 1 and 2 are classified as light sleep (LS), and sleep stages 3 and 4 are classified as deep sleep (DP).

The sleep cycle changes from stage 1 to 2 of NREM sleep to stage 3 to 4 to REM sleep, and the NREM sleep cycle repeats 3 to 5 times overnight.

The classification technique of the sleep stage defined as above is generally widely used, and detailed description of the classification technique is omitted.

On the other hand, it may be possible with the neck and cervical spine massager 110 of the present invention up to the shallow sleep of NREM sleep.

First, as shown in FIG. 7 , when the user lies down on the pillow body 100 on the pillow body 100 , the neck is located in the neck and cervical spine massage part 110 in the most comfortable state in a "C" shape, and the back head is located in the back headrest part 120 do.

When the driving motor 114 is driven by operating the on/off switch of the control panel 130 in the following state, the rotating body 115 rotates eccentrically like the rotation of the central shaft 113, and the long ball type massage roller 116 is rotated, as in FIGS. 4 to 6 .

The long-shaped massage roller 116 rotated about the central axis 113 gives a massage while alternating the neck and cervical vertebrae of the user, and the protrusion 116d increases the acupressure effect.

Here, the rotational speed of the janggu-type massage roller 116 is controllable, and by acupressure of the user's neck and cervical vertebrae, the muscles are relaxed to induce the user to easily enter the elevation.

Then, when a predetermined time elapses, the operation of the driving motor 114 is stopped, and if the user's neck is continuously maintained in a "C" shape, it may be inconvenient, so the back headrest 120 may be operated. Here, the driving motor 114 can be adjusted to have a shape as shown in FIG. 7 when the operation is stopped.

The air pump 124 is operated to raise the user's back head while the air bag 122 is inflated to a preset step-by-step height to maintain a deep sleep state. The corresponding operation may be referred to as a first mode and may be selected through the control panel 130 .

According to the above-mentioned, by massaging the user's neck and cervical vertebrae to relax the muscles, it is possible to correct the sleeping posture and at the same time massage the cramped muscles to protect the user's health according to sleep and induce comfortable and correct sleep. .

Alternatively, for example, the protrusion degree of the protrusion 116d formed on the roller body 116c may be adjusted. In other words, the protrusion 116d may be formed to protrude according to the degree of protrusion corresponding to the plurality of steps.

A pressure sensing module capable of sensing the pressure applied by the user may be mounted on one side of the neck and cervical spine massage unit 110, and the protrusion degree of the protrusion 116d based on pressure information obtained by the pressure sensing module. can be adjusted.

For example, the pressure sensing module may determine the reference pressure based on the pressure initially applied corresponding to the time the user first cuts the pillow, and when a predetermined time has elapsed in a state in which the current pressure is lowered by the first ratio as the reference pressure , by determining that the user feels that the stimulus is strong, the protrusion 116d may be adjusted to a relatively less protruding degree from the standard protruding degree. In addition, when a predetermined period of time has elapsed in a state in which the current pressure is increased by the second ratio to the reference pressure, it is determined that the user feels that the stimulus is small, and the projection 116d is adjusted to a degree of relatively more protruding from the reference protrusion. can be

One embodiment can be customized for various users due to the point of determining the pressure as the reference pressure when the user first cuts the pillow and the degree of protrusion of the adaptive protrusion 116d, thereby maximizing the effect.

Or, for example, the rotation speed of the driving motor 114 may be adjusted according to the user's sleep state to help the user's sleep. Here, the sleep state may consist of a total of five states, and may include steps 1 to 4 of the REM sleep state and the NREM sleep state. The rotation speed is adjusted according to changes in the sleep state, and the rotation speed may be relatively slow according to the sequence of NREM stage 1 state, NREM stage 2 state, NREM stage 3 state, and NREM stage 4 state. can stop Considering that the sequence of sleep does not proceed consistently, the rotational speed is determined according to each state, and the rotational speed may be determined according to each state.

The sleep state may be acquired through a user terminal capable of measuring a sleep state linked in advance, and a communication module may be mounted therefor. Here, the user terminal may include a wearable smart device capable of measuring a sleep state, such as a smart watch. The corresponding operation may be referred to as a second mode and may be selected through the control panel 130 .
