The present invention relates to the technical field of a home textile product, and specifically to an adjustable bionic pillow tool.
With the rapid development of a social economy, people have increasingly high requirements for a pillow, a lumbar pillow, and other pillow tools. A traditional pillow tool is mostly filled with soft materials (such as down feathers, cotton, sponge, particles), which do not have fixed shapes, and often can not provide targeted support for a human head, a neck, a lumbar, knees, and the like, in addition, the traditional pillow tool is compacted as a whole under the weight of a human body when being in use, so that the pillow toll has bad air permeability. There is a problem of compression of blood vessels or tissues, affecting the comfort level of the pillow tool.
An objective of the present invention is to provide an adjustable bionic pillow tool to solve the problems in the prior art.
To realize the forgoing objective, the technical solution of the present invention provides an adjustable bionic pillow tool. The contact surface of a pillow core is provided with a plurality of grooves and/or bumps.
Further, when the plurality of grooves are provided on the contact surface of the pillow core, the grooves include the at least two groups of grooves in different directions. The grooves in the different directions are arranged crosswise to form a plurality of finger-like protruding support parts.
Further, when the plurality of bumps and the plurality of grooves are provided on the contact surface of the pillow core, a plurality of bump-interrupting grooves are provided on the plurality of bumps. The bump-interrupting grooves are provided in the different direction from directions in which the bumps are provided. The bump-interrupting grooves separate the bumps into the plurality of finger-like protruding support parts.
Further, the cross-sectional shapes of the grooves, the bumps, and the bump-interrupting grooves may be any of a rectangular shape, an inverted trapezoidal shape, a triangular shape, a semi-circular shape, and a semi-elliptical shape.
Further, the pillow tool further includes an airbag support layer. The airbag support layer is provided below the pillow core or provided in an opening groove of the pillow core. The airbag support layer includes at least one airbag and an air inflatable and deflatable assembly. Further, the pillow tool is a pillow, a lumbar pillow or a knee pillow.
Further, when the pillow tool is the pillow, the pillow core has a thickness at a central region less than that at two sides. The pillow core includes a base layer and a wing part. The central region of the wing part in a lengthwise direction is connected to the base layer. Overhanging parts are provided on the two sides of the wing part. A gap is provided on the contact surface of the base layer. A through hole is provided in the central region of the pillow core. The through hole passes through the pillow core. The pillowcase is made of an elastic fabric, provided at the outer part of the pillow core, and in contact with the surfaces of the base layer and the wing part. The pillowcase is provided with a central connection structure of the pillowcase in the region of the through hole. The pillowcase on the both sides of the through hole may pass through the through hole and are connected through the central connection structure. The airbags include a front airbag and a rear airbag. The front airbag and the rear airbag are provided on the both sides of the pillowcase in a width direction, are parallel with a lengthwise direction and provided in the opening groove of the base layer.
Further, the plurality of grooves are provided on the contact surfaces of the base layer and the wing part. A plurality of longitudinal grooves parallel with a width direction are provided in the region of the base layer in a width direction away from the wing part. A plurality of radial grooves are provided on the contact surface of the wing part and distributed in a radial direction pointing to the through hole. A plurality of transverse grooves parallel with a lengthwise direction are provided in the central regions of the longitudinal grooves in a lengthwise direction of the base layer and the radial grooves in the wing part. The transverse grooves are interlaced with the longitudinal grooves and the radial grooves respectively to form the plurality of finger-like protruding support parts.
In the present invention, the grooves or the bumps are provided crosswise on the contact surface of the pillow core, which can form a diffusion groove, and can play a role of ventilation and air permeability while playing a role of support. In addition, the staggered grooves or bumps form finger-like protrusions. A bionic finger-like protrusion is more adjustable compared to the complete pillow core, which can reduce squeeze on blood vessels and tissues, and solve the problem of compression in a traditional pillow tool after the pillow tool is compacted in a whole piece. The adaptation to the different parts of the human body can be realized, so that the pillow tool is more fit. In addition, the grooves or the bumps and the finger-like protrusion can form a massage effect on the contact part.
In the present invention, a support layer of a bottom airbag is provided, so that the height, tilt degree, softness and hardness of the pillow tool can be conveniently adjusted by inflating and deflating the airbag to adapt to the needs of different users or the same user in different periods/scenarios.
