Description

A cervical spine pillow that helps prevent and alleviate sleep disorders and pain through neck height control and a method of providing the same}

The present invention relates to a cervical pillow that helps prevent and alleviate sleep disorders and pain through neck height adjustment, a method of providing the same, and a method of providing the same.

As modern people spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer, mainly doing work, or in front of a smartphone or TV, the number of people who develop turtle neck or require posture correction such as scoliosis is increasing. Accordingly, recently, cervical pillows using ergonomic shapes and products that vary depending on the interior materials (memory foam, microform, etc.) have been in the spotlight.

However, it is known that the human body structure is different for each person and varies depending on not only age and gender, but also race, and Asians often have a flat occipital bone.

However, in the case of existing cervical pillows, rather than being designed based on the human body characteristics of different users, the use of soft and fluffy interior materials often relieves the pressure flowing over the head to provide comfort.

Therefore, there is a need for the development of a pillow whose height can be adjusted to suit various human body structures.

In addition, mobile and wearable healthcare systems are in the spotlight in the smart healthcare field.

Among them, it is a widely known fact that you need to get enough sleep for your health, but modern people are unable to keep an appropriate sleep time due to their busy daily lives.

This phenomenon has further heightened interest in sleep, and ‘Sleep Tech’, a cutting-edge technology that helps with sufficient sleep, has emerged as a new industry. It is a compound word of ‘Sleep’, meaning sleep, and ‘Technology’, meaning technology.

As problems with sleep deprivation are revealed, interest in ‘quality sleep’ is increasing, and sleep tech is growing rapidly.

In other words, various sleep tech businesses are being promoted in various fields, including pillows, mattresses, wearable devices that analyze sleep data, and services that provide sleep-inducing music and white noise.

As many people around the world are suffering from sleep disorders but are not receiving proper treatment, there is a demand for the development of customized cervical pillows in the sleep tech market that can play an important role in improving sleep patterns.

The pressure intensity detected in the pocket is transmitted in real time to the pressure-air control unit,
In the pressure-air control unit,
When pressure is detected by the piezoelectric sensor installed in the third air expansion pocket among the pressure sensing units, a signal is provided to the air supply unit to expand the first air expansion pocket, the second air expansion pocket, and the third air expansion pocket. A predetermined amount of air is supplied simultaneously to
When pressure is detected by the piezoelectric sensor installed in the fourth air expansion pocket among the pressure sensing units, a signal is provided to the air supply unit to expand the first air expansion pocket, the second air expansion pocket, and the fourth air expansion pocket. A predetermined amount of air is supplied simultaneously to
When pressure is detected by the piezoelectric sensor installed in the third air expansion pocket among the pressure sensing units, a signal is provided to the air supply unit to expand the first air expansion pocket, the second air expansion pocket, and the third air expansion pocket. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed based on the point at which a predetermined amount of air is supplied to the first air expansion pocket and the second air expansion pocket, a predetermined amount of air is recovered from the fourth air expansion pocket. A predetermined amount of air is additionally supplied to
When pressure is detected by the piezoelectric sensor installed in the fourth air expansion pocket among the pressure sensing units, a signal is provided to the air supply unit to expand the first air expansion pocket, the second air expansion pocket, and the fourth air expansion pocket. After a predetermined amount of time has elapsed based on the point at which a predetermined amount of air is supplied to the first air expansion pocket and the second air expansion pocket, a predetermined amount of air is recovered from the third air expansion pocket at the same time. By allowing a predetermined amount of additional air to be supplied to
When the user turns on his side and a predetermined pressure is sensed by the piezoelectric sensor installed in the third air expansion pocket or the piezoelectric sensor installed in the fourth air expansion pocket among the pressure sensing units, the user's head is placed in the head shoulder space. It is held tightly and the posture of lying in one direction is maintained for a certain period of time.
After a predetermined time has elapsed, when a predetermined amount of air is recovered from the first air expansion pocket and the second air expansion pocket, it is induced to return to the upright position and a predetermined amount of air is stored in the third air expansion pocket or the fourth air expansion pocket. A cervical pillow that helps prevent and relieve sleep disorders and pain through neck height adjustment, and a method of providing the same, characterized by preventing the posture from rotating in the opposite direction while supplying additional air.
According to paragraph 2,
In the control unit,
A time-air control unit for controlling the maintenance time of a predetermined amount of air additionally supplied to the air expansion unit is further included,
In the time-air control unit,
Among the pressure sensing units, the time when pressure is sensed only by the piezoelectric sensor installed in the first air expansion pocket and the piezoelectric sensor installed in the second air expansion pocket is defined as the first sleeping position time,
Among the pressure sensing units, pressure is sensed by a piezoelectric sensor installed in the third air expansion pocket, and a predetermined amount of air is additionally supplied to the first air expansion pocket, the second air expansion pocket, and the third air expansion pocket. From the point in time, a predetermined amount of air is recovered from the first air expansion pocket and the second air expansion pocket, and at the same time, a predetermined amount of air is additionally supplied to the fourth air expansion pocket; And among the pressure sensing units, pressure is sensed by a piezoelectric sensor installed in the fourth air expansion pocket, and a predetermined amount of air is additionally supplied to the first air expansion pocket, the second air expansion pocket, and the fourth air expansion pocket. From the point in time, a predetermined amount of air is recovered to the first air expansion pocket and the second air expansion pocket, and at the same time, a predetermined amount of air is additionally supplied to the third air expansion pocket; in the second sleeping position. Defined as time,
In the time-air control unit,
When the second sleeping posture time is shorter than the first sleeping posture time, a signal is provided to the air supply unit to additionally supply a predetermined amount of air to the first air inflation pocket and the second air inflation pocket. 2A cervical pillow that helps prevent and alleviate sleep disorders and pain by adjusting the neck height, characterized by inducing sleep posture time, and a method of providing the same.
