Description

Spinal conformal sleep health pad TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a health sleep pad, and more particularly, to a spinal conformal sleep care pad that can conform to the human spine curve.

Background technique

The spine is an organic whole consisting of 33 vertebrae and their related intervertebral discs, ligaments, facet joint capsules and other connections. From the side view, the spine forms four physiological curvatures in the front-to-back direction from top to bottom. Waist and sacral curvature, with neck and sacral curvature protruding forward, chest and sacral curvature protruding rearward; viewed from the front or back, the spine is straight. The main function of the spine as the central axis of the human body is to support weight, transmit gravity, protect the spinal cord and nerve roots, and blood vessels, nerves and airways running along the spine, participate in the formation of the chest cavity, abdominal cavity, and pelvic cavity and protect the organs, support and stability. The head supports and attaches the muscles and fascia that connect the limbs to the trunk. The spine can perform complex movements such as forward flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation, and cushion external body impacts and shocks. The physiological curvature of the spine is suitable for walking upright, the longitudinal transmission of gravity along the spine, and various movements, but the discomfort contract sleeps for one third of human life time. During sleep, the exogenous stabilization system (muscle, tendon, internal pressure, etc.) of the spine relaxes and loses its protective effect on the spine. Gravity can directly affect the endogenous stabilization system (vertebral body, intervertebral disc, ligament) of the spine. Etc.), due to long sleep time and relatively fixed body position, gravity directly compresses the vertebrae and vertebrae for a long time and relatively fixedly. Intervertebral discs, spinal joints, and ligaments, etc., lead to instability and dislocation of the vertebral body, intervertebral discs, and facet joints, which eventually strain the spine.

At present, most people are accustomed to sleep with pillows, and there are numerous health pillows, but pillow sleep cannot protect the physiological curvature of the spine as a whole, so it is difficult to obtain ideal health effects. Through observation, it was found that the pillow raised the head with a pillow during sleep, which caused a height difference between the head and the heart, which caused the cervical spine to lose rigidity, and the posterior cervical muscles were tense, resulting in blood vessels and nerves passing through the neck. Deformation of the airways and respiratory tract causes increased blood flow to the head and increased respiratory resistance; Pillows straighten the waist when sleeping on the back, sacral wings are excessive, lumbar muscles are strained, blood vessels and nerves running along the lumbar spine deform, and lie on the side At the junction of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, a lateral curve was formed, and the cervical and lumbar vertebrae were more mobile. Sleep caused much more damage than the thoracic and sacral vertebrae. In addition, modern mental workers and obese people increased, and desk work hours were long. It also aggravates the strain of cervical and lumbar spine, so the incidence of cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis is getting earlier and higher, and the incidence is getting higher and higher. Due to the special structure and function of the spine, the occurrence of spinal diseases such as cervical spondylosis and / or lumbar spondylopathy must affect the blood supply and innervation of related tissues and organs, and cause complex changes in related tissues and organs, leading to dizziness, headache, Insomnia, dizziness, neurasthenia, obesity, chest tightness, essential hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, type II diabetes, asthma, foreign body sensation in the esophagus, abdominal distension, stomach pain, numbness of the limbs, dysmenorrhea, sexual dysfunction, The occurrence of chronic diseases such as constipation, prostatitis, urinary incontinence, low back and leg pain, hemorrhoids, etc. The medical community recognizes that these chronic diseases are related to spinal diseases and are called spine-related diseases, so spinal diseases have seriously affected human health and quality of life. Summary of the invention

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a spine conformal sleep health care pad, which can fully fit the back curve of the human body and the sleep pad when lying on the back. During the dynamic process from supine to lateral lying, the sleep pad, together with the head, face, thorax, and pelvis, are the spine. Provide horizontal support to maintain the physiological state of the spine and realize the protection of the spine as an organic whole during sleep; it can improve human sleep quality, reasonably protect the physiological state of the spine during sleep, delay the occurrence of spinal disease and prevent spine-related diseases Etc. to improve human health and quality of life

The purpose of the present invention is achieved as follows: Constructing a spine conformable sleep health care pad, which includes a pad body, which is located on the pad body and conforms to the physiological curvature of the human spine and the spine curve.

"M" -shaped curved surface; the curved surface is an arc-shaped convex surface conforming to the occipital bone and the cervical spine, an arc-shaped concave curved surface conforming to the thoracic vertebra, and an arc-shaped convex conformation to the lumbosacral vertebra in turn. Curved surfaces, the curved surfaces of the above three parts are smoothly connected.

The advantages of the present invention are: reasonable use of the human spine physiological curvature and the shape of the spine to produce a spine conformable sleep health care pad; when applied, the spine conformal sleep health care pad can better conform to the physiology of the human spine and the spine curve during sleep, and maintain the natural body The posture and balance of gravity on the spine fully protects the entire spine. At the same time, it eliminates the height difference between the head and the heart when the pillow sleeps, and maintains the good shape of the blood vessels, nerves and airways that follow the physiological curve of the spine. The blood flow speed in sleep tends to be fastest and the airway resistance to air flow is minimized. In this sleep state, the myocardium, respiratory muscles, and skeletal muscles around the spine tend to be at the most relaxed state, which is conducive to improving parasympathetic nerve excitability. Well done The physiological process of sleep effectively improves sleep quality (as shown in Figures 2 and 3). The relaxation of the spinal exogenous stabilization system during sleep also provides the possibility of applying spinal conformal sleep health pads to prevent and treat spinal diseases. At this time, the spine dislocation and instability of small joints and / or intervertebral discs can easily restore their natural forms and effectively prevent them. Spinal disease, which has a better prevention and treatment of spine-related diseases. Applying the spine conformal sleep health pad to sleep keeps the good shape of the respiratory tract and reduces the resistance of the airflow through the respiratory tract during sleep, so it can effectively improve or cure snoring (nasal snore). The invention is further described below with reference to the drawings and examples:

Referring to FIG. 1, a spine conformable sleep healthcare pad provided by the present invention includes a cushion body and an arcuate curved surface conforming to the physiological curvature of the human spine and an "M" shape of the spine curve on the cushion body. Curved convex curved surface 1 conforming to the occipital bone and cervical vertebra; Curved concave curved surface 2 adapted to the thoracic spine; Curved convex curved surface 3 conformable to the lumbosacral vertebra. The above surfaces are connected by a smooth transition surface A whole constitutes a health-care sleeping pad that conforms to the shape of the human back curve and can conform to the curve of the human back. The spine conformal sleep healthcare pad provided by the present invention can use soft materials, design a plurality of series of molding dies, and press and use other methods to make the molding.

In order to be suitable for different races, a retractable device capable of adjusting the relative position of the concave curved surface may be provided at the curved concave curved surface portion of the thoracic spine, and the cushion body may be appropriately extended and adjusted to conform to the shape. Appearance of other parts of the human body.

By measuring the spine and spine of normal people around 18-20 years of age, the population can be divided into different height segments, and the length of the spine and the normal curvature of the lumbosacral and vertebrae of the cervical and thoracic vertebrae are measured at each height segment. And calculate the average value, then combine with the characteristics of the back to make spine conformable sleep health pads suitable for different people. As a further improvement of the present invention, a retractable device that can adjust the relative position of the curved concave curved surface of the thoracic vertebra can be added to the concave curved surface of the thoracic vertebra, and the cushion body can be appropriately adjusted to adapt to the sleep of people of different heights and shapes. Asana. Use the spine conformal sleep health pad to sleep, which can fully conform to the physiological curvature of the human spine and the back curve, so that the human body is in a better sleep state, and better relaxes and rests; makes the sleeping posture more natural, and the circulation and breathing smoother , Better sleep quality. Sleeping on the spine conformal sleep health pad is good for maintaining a good sleeping posture. Because the back curve of the human body is "M", the neck curve and waist curve of the spine are in the two curved protrusions of the spinal conformal sleep health pad during sleep. On the curved surface, the thoracic flexure is located on the curved concave curved surface of the spine conformal sleep health care pad, which basically restricts sleep to the back or side, and it is not easy to have bad sleeping postures such as distortion or prone sleep. When the human body is lying on his back, it is obvious that the spine conformable sleep healthcare pad of the present invention conforms to the human spine curve (as shown in FIG. 2). When lying sideways, the spine conformal sleep health pad is also fully suitable for the physiological state of the human body such as the spine (as shown in Figure 3). When the human body is lying sideways, the cervical spine is supported by the head and face, the curved convex curved surface of the health pad, and the shoulders. While maintaining the level, the thoracic spine conforms to the curved depression surface of the health pad to support the thoracic vertebra at the same level as the cervical spine, and the lumbosacral vertebrae is at the same level as the thoracic spine due to the support of the thoracic, curved convex surface of the health pad and pelvic support. By observing the dynamic process from supine to lateral position, the spine conformal sleep health care pad can well maintain the spine basically in the same plane, thereby ensuring the good physiological state of related blood vessels, nerves, respiratory tract, etc., while also reducing the use of pillows, etc. Squeezing the thorax during sleep.

Applying the spine conformal sleep health pad to sleep, it is easy to eliminate fatigue, the spine does not have a straight sense of awakening, the body has a clear sense of relaxation, and it better overcomes the wakefulness of the spine, the back muscles, and the head caused by the use of pillows and other sleep. Sleep syndromes such as fainting, headaches, and falling pillows, and long-term use of the spinal conformal sleep health pad can also delay spinal disease and prevent spine-related diseases, so it is a better sleep health pad.

The spine conformable sleep healthcare pad can also be designed as a flat surface cushion body, and the sleep effect of the spine conformal sleep healthcare pad can be achieved by the elastic adjustment inside the cushion body.
