In addition, the controller (CTB) is a display provided with a push button or a touch panel, and can be operated by a remote controller, and since these components are only known parts or technologies, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the controller (CTB) supplies air to the first cushion tube 82 when the first carbon dioxide sensor CO1 detects carbon dioxide, and when the second carbon dioxide sensor CO2 detects carbon dioxide, the second cushion tube 83 ) to supply air.

A method of using the cervical pillow 100 for a comfortable neck according to this embodiment will be briefly described.

First, the cervical pillow 100 with a comfortable neck of the present invention can use only the pillow support plate 10 and the pillow body 30 shown in FIGS. It is revealed in advance that the cervical vertebrae can be stimulated using the acupressure protrusion (P) in a state where the lower part of the occipital part is seated on the second cervical vertebrae support lumbar part (35).

After the user seats the lower end of the back neck and occipital part on the first and second cervical vertebrae supporting lumbar parts 33 and 35, the cervical vertebrae are stimulated using acupressure projections (P), and partially the first and second cervical vertebral vertebrae support lumbar parts 33 ) (35), when rotation or rotation (position change) is necessary, operate the controller (CTB) to operate the rotation motor 53 to rotate or rotate the pillow support plate 10 and the pillow body 30 in the desired direction can do it

In addition, when the user cannot implement smooth cervical vertebra stimulation by turning the neck sideways, such as in a sleeping state, it detects which side the user turned his/her neck through the user's breathing through the carbon dioxide sensor (CO1) (CO2), and the first When carbon dioxide is detected by the carbon dioxide sensor CO1 , the controller CTB operates the air supply 81 to supply air to the first cushion tube 82 . At this time, the main valve 81v and the first inlet valve 82i communicate with each other.

As such, when air is supplied to the first cushion tube 82, the first cushion tube 82 is inflated. The neck is returned to its original position. Then, when the user's neck is returned to the original position, the controller (CTB) stops the air supply 81, then closes the first inlet valve 82i, and opens the first exhaust valve 82o for the first cushion The air filled in the tube 82 is supplied to the air exhaust tank 85 through the first air inlet 85i1, and then finally exhausted to the atmosphere through the fine exhaust port 85v of the air exhaust tank 85.

In addition, when carbon dioxide is sensed by the second carbon dioxide sensor (CO2), the controller (CTB) operates the air supply unit (81) to supply air to the second cushion tube (83). At this time, the main valve 81v and the second inlet valve 83i communicate with each other.

In this way, when air is supplied to the second cushion tube 83, the second cushion tube 83 is inflated. The neck is returned to its original position. Then, when the user's neck is returned to the original position, the controller (CTB) stops the air supply 81, then closes the second inlet valve 83i, and opens the second exhaust valve 83o for the second cushion The air filled in the tube 83 is supplied to the air exhaust tank 85 through the second air inlet 85i2, and then finally exhausted to the atmosphere through the fine exhaust port 85v of the air exhaust tank 85.

Although the present invention as described above is limited to one embodiment, it is clear that all embodiments modified based on the technical idea of the present invention are not limited thereto and fall within the scope of the present invention.
