Reference herein to an "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The occurrences of this phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood explicitly and implicitly by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

The embodiment of the present application provides a height-adjustable pillow, including a main body 1, at least one set of airbags 2, a compression pump, at least one set of sensor arrays 5 and valves, the airbags 2 are arranged in the main body 1; the sensors The array 5 is arranged above the airbag 2; the airbag 2, the valve and the compression pump are connected in an air circuit, and the airbag 2 communicates with the outside through the valve and the compression pump. It also includes a controller 3 and at least one group of sensor arrays 5, the sensor array 5 detects the posture of the user during sleep, the sensor array 5 is electrically connected to the controller 3, and the controller 3 is electrically connected to the valves respectively , to control the opening and closing of the valve or the flow rate; the controller 3 is also electrically connected to the compression pump to control the compression pump to fill the air bag 2 with air or discharge air from the air bag 2 .

The embodiment of the present application mainly has the following beneficial effects: by setting the airbag 2 in the main body 1, and the airbag 2 is connected with the outside world through the compression pump and the valve, a certain amount of air is compressed by the compression pump and enters the airbag 2 through the air valve, and is inflated to Promote the height of the pillow, the gas in the air bag 2 is released by regulating the air valve, to reduce the height of the pillow. Multiple pressure values generated by the human body on different regions of the pillow are acquired through the sensor array to determine the position of the human body pillow. After adjusting the height of the pillow, it can be adjusted according to the position of the pillow of the human body. Obviously, such adjustment can better meet the needs of the support of the human body. Preferably, the main body 1 is covered with a shell 6, and the material is foam, so as to ensure the shape of the pillow, and at the same time ensure the stretchability, which is convenient for the user to lean on, and at the same time, it is also conducive to the accurate measurement of the sensor array 5 , the above-mentioned filler can expand or compress according to the shape of the pillow, so as to maintain the support for the human body.

Further, the airbags 2 are provided in multiple groups, and the airbags 2 are connected to the compression pump through corresponding valves.

Specifically, in one embodiment, there are multiple sets of airbags 2, and each set of airbags 2 is connected to a valve to compress air into the airbag through an air pump, or discharge gas, wherein each set of airbags 2 includes one or more Airbag 2. According to the user's sleeping position, including supine, side and prone, choose to further input air to the airbag 2 to increase the height of the pillow, until the height of the pillow is raised to the required height, stop inputting air; or open the valve from the airbag 2 Let the air out to lower the height of the pillow. Until the height of the pillow is lowered to the required height, the release of air is stopped. In this solution, multiple groups of airbags 2 are respectively input or exhausted to raise or lower the overall height of each area of the pillow, and the pillow is precisely adapted to the area of the human body pillow.

Specifically, the posture of the user during sleep is monitored through the sensor array 5, and the signals detected by some of the sensors indicate the position of the user's fingers. In one embodiment, the position of the sensor that detects the user's pressure and the Quantitative detection of the user's sleeping posture, and then, according to one or more groups of airbags 2 corresponding to the sensor, the controller 3 controls the opening and closing of the valve and the compression pump by judging the user's posture, and controls one or more groups of airbags 2 to inflate Or deflate to automatically adjust the height of the airbag 2 to adapt to the user's posture. The sensor array 5 monitors the sleeping posture of the user. After pressure detection, according to the posture of the user during sleep, the controller 3 adjusts the height of the pillow according to the different postures of the user through preset state machines. The sensor array 5 and the controller 3 control the opening and closing of the valve and the compression pump, so that the height of the pillow can be automatically adjusted. Improve the efficiency of pillow height adjustment.

Further, the sensor array 5 is arranged above the airbag, separated by the filler 4, and kept at a relative distance from the airbag. Specifically, the above-mentioned main body 1 is provided with a filler 4 to separate the sensor array 5 and the airbag 2, so that the sensors in the sensor array 5 are evenly stressed during the detection process, and this solution can further ensure that the sensor array 5 can be connected with the airbag 2. Keeping the distance, the sensor array 5 will not be affected by the adjustment of the airbag 2, the measured pressure signal will be more accurate, and the accuracy of the posture detection of the user during sleep will be improved.

The category of the sensor array 5 includes several pressure sensors.

Specifically, the pressure distribution on the pillow area of the user in different sleeping positions is obtained through the pressure sensor array 5 , and the pressure distribution data of the user is obtained and recorded under the initial setting through the pressure sensor array 5 . After accurately detecting the sleeping posture of the user, the system can quickly adjust the airbag 2 to match the sleeping posture of the user.

Further, the main body 1 includes a brain socket, the brain socket is arranged in the middle of the main body 1, and at least one group of the airbags 2 corresponds to the brain socket.

Further, the main body 1 includes a neck collar, the neck collar is arranged at one end of the brain socket, and when the user is lying on his back, side or prone, the neck collar of the user can In contrast, at least one group of the airbags 2 corresponds to the brain fossa.

Usually, the pressure distribution on the pillow is different when people are in different sleeping positions. If the pressure on the middle part of the pillow is relatively high, it means that the person is lying on the back; while the pressure on the edge of the pillow is concentrated, it means that the person is lying on the side. Correspondingly, the pressure of the person on the area where the neck collar is located is relatively concentrated, indicating that the person is lying prone. By setting the brain fossa and the neck collar to cooperate with the sensor array 5, when the detection is matched with the user's pillow on the brain fossa, priority is judged Sleeping postures of the user lying on the back, lying on the side and lying on the stomach. This solution can quickly judge the user's supine posture. In addition, the airbag 2 provides sufficient support to the user in the supine, side and prone states respectively. The pillow heights corresponding to supine, prone, and side lying are preset and determined by comparison.
