Abstract

An automatic height adjustable pillow for sideways sleeping positions is provided to adjust the height automatically whenever a user changes his/her posture to that of sleeping on his/her side. An automatic height adjustable pillow for sideways sleeping positions includes a buffering tool(1) supporting a user's head, an upper plate(2) supporting the buffering tool, a height adjusting unit for moving the upper plate vertically, a lower plate supporting the height adjusting unit and a control portion that controls the driving of a motor. The height adjusting unit includes an upper plate body and a lower plate body. A sensor that is operated by a user's head is arranged on the upper plate body. When a user's head is placed on the sensor, the sensor is operated to give a signal to the control portion.

          The technical field of the present invention relates to an automatic height-adjustable side-warming pillow that can automatically adjust the height of the pillow according to the posture when the sleeper's posture is changed from the right posture to the side lying posture during sleep.

A lot of pillows have been produced so far, but the pillows that can automatically change the height of the pillow according to the change of sleeping posture have not been fully developed.

Related technologies are as follows.

Self-adjusting pillow (notice thread 1991-0000982)

Health Pillow for Automatic Height Adjustment (Application No. 20-2001-0010090)

Pillow that is transformed according to the human body posture by the sleep posture detection sense

                                         (Application No. 10-2001-0061080)

Pillow height adjustment device (application number 20-2004-0034370)

The above descriptions are known techniques so far.

However, the present invention is installed on the side of the existing pillows lying next to the self-adjustable height adjustable pillow or the above technology is a wider than the object of the present invention as a self-adjustable pillow for both the right posture and side lying posture Purpose pillows differ slightly in use

According to the investigation so far, no case of the invention of the same object as the present invention could be found.

The present invention is a side height position only automatic height adjustment pillow for use installed next to the existing pillow

Many experts point out that having a high pillow height is not good for your health, and you can see that you're not good for a person who actually uses a high pillow.

However, there have been no suitable alternatives so far, and most people use relatively high pillows that can be used for both supine and lateral position.

In order to solve this problem, it is preferable to separate the supine pillow and the supine pillow, and furthermore, it is better to use an automatic height adjusting pillow for a more comfortable sleep.

During sleep, when the sleeper's head moves from the existing pillow to the height of the supine position, the head detects the movement of the head and the pillow can automatically rise to the height of the lateral position.When the head returns to the existing pillow, the original height automatically It is an automatic height adjustment pillow with an automatic system that descends and becomes a standby state. It should be able to proceed smoothly with light and durable structure and operation while having the above function.

In addition, when the sleeper's head is in the supine position and then changes to the lateral position, the height of the pillow should be low enough so that the head can move horizontally. It is a challenge to develop automatic height adjustment pillow

        Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention;

       1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a pillow according to the present invention,

       Figure 2 is an exploded longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a pillow according to the present invention,

       Fig. 3 is a detailed view of the gear with the through screw hole in Fig. 2.

       As shown in Figure 2

An automatic type consisting of a headrest buffer port (1), an upper plate (2) supporting the buffer port, a height adjusting means for moving the upper plate up and down, a lower plate (4) supporting the height adjusting means, and a controller for controlling the driving of the motor The height adjustment means in the height adjustment pillow

On the upper plate 2, a sensor 3-15, which is operated by the head of the sleeper, is disposed, a cylindrical male threaded body 3-4 having a hole inside and a screwed outside, and an anti-rotation rod for preventing rotation of the upper plate ( 3-5) are respectively coupled to the upper plate and the through screw hole gear (3-3) for moving the cylindrical male threaded body (3-4) up and down by receiving a motor rotation to the cylindrical male threaded body (3-4). ) And the top plate

On the lower plate 4, a support tube in which the cylindrical male threaded body 3-4 is inserted therein, a sliding means is placed on the upper side thereof, and the through-screwed gear 3-3 is mounted thereon to rotate. (3-8) and the lower plate body which is inserted into the inner hole of the cylindrical male threaded body (3-4) to support the posture of the cylindrical male threaded body (3-7), are erected and are integrated with each other.

When the head of the sleeper is placed on the sensor 3-15, the sensor operates to send a signal to the control unit, and the control unit starts the motor 3-1 and the small gear 3-2 connected to the motor shaft rotates so that the small gear The through screw hole gear (3-3) engaged with (3-2) is turned, and the cylindrical male screw body (3-4) fastened with the through screw hole gear (3-3) is moved up and down. The upper plate (2) coupled to the cylindrical male threaded body (3-4) is an automatic height adjustment side and pillow, characterized in that the buffer port (1) to move up and down.

The sliding means on the top of the support tube can be thrust bearing or oilless bearing

Fig. 3 is a detailed view of the through screw hole gear 3-3. As shown, the through screw hole gear 3-3 is formed by forming a through screw hole in the center of a conventional gear.

As shown in FIG. 2, the buffer port 1 forms an operating space of the probe port around the probe port so that the probe port of the sensor can operate, and may be formed in several places in some cases.

The sensor may also be installed in several more places as needed.

Fine adjustment of the rising and falling height is made by moving the distance limiting sensor (3-17).

  Whenever the sleeping posture changes to the side lying down, you can find two places of heads and move along the body naturally without the inconvenience of waking up and moving your head. This allows you to take continuous sleep without interruption of your sleep, and as the pillow lowers, you can thicken the thickness of the cushion so that you can have the best sleep conditions to get a softer, more comfortable and better sleep effect.
