DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Further explanation on this invention is made in combination with figures and specific implementation modes so that the aims, features and advantages of this invention can be understood more clearly.


As shown by FIG. 1, the multipurpose pillow is composed of standard cervical flexure pillow (1), control panel (2), magnetic massage bar (11), heating band (12), middle-frequency electro-therapeutic bar (13), ultrasonic treatment head (21), anion generator (22), music player (23), hypnosis cover (24) and micro-controller (25). The magnetic massage bar (11), heating band (12), and middle-frequency electro-therapeutic bar (13) are located within standard cervical flexure pillow. The anion generator (22), music player (23), and hypnosis cover (24) are situated on control panel (2). The heating band (12), ultrasonic treatment head (21), and hypnosis cover (24) are connected with control panel (2) through wire. The micro-controller (25) is linked to heating band (12), middle-frequency electro-therapeutic bar (13), ultrasonic treatment head (21), anion generator (22), music player (23) and hypnosis cover (24).


The standard cervical flexure pillow (1) is comprised of hard pillow body (15), protection cover (16), comfortable layer (17), shaper (18) and pillowcase (19). The middle of the hard pillow body is designed as a cervical flexure surface, with its edge being a narrow-to-wide draft surface. The cervical flexure surface can be customized according to different standards. For example,


For adult: height 1.41 m˜1.58 m, degree of flexure 41 mm˜63 mm; height 1.58 m˜1.75 m, degree of flexure 48 mm˜70 mm; height 1.75 m˜1.92 m, degree of flexure 55 mm˜77 mm


For children: height 0.9 m˜1.07 m, degree of flexure 20 mm˜42 mm; height 1.07 m˜1.24 m, degree of flexure 27 mm˜49 mm; height 1.24 m˜1.41 m, degree of flexure 34 mm˜56 mm


The hard pillow body (15) is made of metal or non-metal materials.


The inner part of protection cover (16) matches up with outer part of the hard pillow body (15); the inner framework of the comfortable layer (17) fits in with the outer part of the protection cover; the inner shape of the shaper (18) consists with the outer part of the comfortable layer (17) and the bottom of the hard pillow body (15); the inner framework of the pillowcase (19) coincides with the outer part of the shaper (18) in size.


The comfortable layer (17) is made of the viscoelastic foam or polyester wadding slowly rebounding. The pillowcase (19) is made of the anti-mite bamboo fiber or velvet.


The magnetic massage bar (11) is equipped with several rounded convex heads which have rounded magnetic blocks, and the magnetic massage bar (11) is made of the editable silica gel


The heating band (12) is made of the insulated and flame-resistant glass fiber and heating wire. The middle-frequency electro-therapeutic bar (13) is furnished with middle-frequency electrode and made of editable silica gel. The ultrasonic treatment head (21) consists of ultrasonic generator circuit and transducer. The anion generator (22) is made up of high-pressure anion generating circuit sealed by epoxy resin and the long-life carbon-fiber emitter.


The multipurpose pillow is also composed of the test sensor (14) and the network module (26) that can monitor and record human's sleep quality. The test sensor is located on the surface of the standard cervical flexure surface, which can monitor the sleep quality. The network module (26) is installed within the control panel (2) and connected with local area network. The micro-controller (25) is linked to the test sensor (14) and the network module (26). The test sensor (14) tests the movements of brain during sleep, which can show whether users are in deep sleep and whether they toss and turn. Then, analysis on the data processed by system processor can be made to ascertain when users fall asleep, when they wake up, when they are in deep sleep and in light sleep, and whether they sleep in a right posture. Afterwards, these information can be uploaded to server or transmitted to mobile terminal through network module.


The control panel (2) is connected with reliable power source and AC power source of external computer through cable.


This invention is aimed at promoting recovery of fixed vertebra's ligament and muscle tone. Besides standard cervical flexure pillow, there is also the acupoint's magnetic massage bar (11) characterized by sedation, analgesia, detumescence, anti-inflammation, and antihypertension; the heating band (12) which can generate heat to promote metabolism of local tissues, edema absorption, and trauma repair as well as attain the goals of detumescence, anti-inflammation, spasmolysis, and sedation; the middle-frequency electro-therapeutic bar (13) which has the functions such as analgesia, detumescence, anti-inflammation, improvements in local blood circulation, stimulation of nerve muscle, and muscle building or relaxing; the ultrasonic treatment head (21) which can soften tissues, improve permeability, metabolism and blood circulation, relieve pain and muscle spasms; the anion generator (22) which has various functions like electrostatic dust collection, air purification, improvements in pulmonary function, myocardial function and viability, sedation, hypnosis, metabolism promoting, enhancement of disease resistance, and sterilization; the music player (23) for relaxation, emotional release, emotional adjustments, tension easing, and replacement of tense mood with pleasant thoughts to improve sleep quality; the hypnosis cover (24) that can help to attain mental tranquility, block out the light to improve sleep quality, and get rid of fatigue; and the micro-controller (25) that controls heating band, middle-frequency electro-therapeutic bar, ultrasonic treatment head, anion generator, music player and hypnosis cover.


This invention, a standard cervical flexure sleep system developed based on the treatment principles above, has two functions:


1 The cervical vertebra will be restored from deformation according to cervical flexure standards.


2 High-quality sleeping environment can be also provided so that people can fall asleep very soon with their head relaxed to resume physical strength.


Above is a detailed explanation on this invention. Specific case has been used to describe the principle and implementation mode of this invention. The explanation on the implementation case above is only aimed at helping people understand the methods and key thoughts of this invention. Meanwhile, ordinary technicians in this field may make changes to the implementation modes and applicable scopes according to the ideas of this invention. To sum up, the contents of this specification shall not be construed as the constraints over this invention.
