The present disclosure relates to the technical field of pillows, and particularly, to a travel pillow.
A pillow is a sleeping tool. It is generally believed that pillows are fillers for comfortable sleep. According to modern medical research, a human spine looks like a straight line when viewed from the front, but it looks like a curve having four physiological curves when viewed from the side. To protect the normal physiological curvature of the neck and maintain normal physiological activities during sleep, a pillow needs to be used when people sleep. The pillow is generally composed of a pillow interior and a pillowcase.
Outdoor travel is a collection of tourism and sports leisure that focus on experience and feeling, including self-guided tour, self-driving tour, camping, hiking, flying, water sports, mountaineering, rock climbing, exploration, skiing, roller skating, bicycle motocross, extreme sports, and the like. Outdoor travel participants often have qualities, are financially good, pay attention to environmental protection, have willingness for charity, and are ready to help others.
With the continuous development of the outdoor travel, the development of outdoor travel aids has been promoted. The existing travel pillow is still of an overall structural design, which is very similar to the structure of a household pillow. It is hard to meet use needs of travel enthusiasts at preset because the travel pillow only has an additional dampproof function. Although there have been a few of kinds of travel pillows, they only have the head and neck supporting function and do not consider the impact of environmental changes during travel on supporting, such as vibration and posture change, which may cause adverse situations.
The present disclosure aims to provide a travel pillow with a three-dimensional structure, to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
To achieve the above objective, the present disclosure provides the following technical solution:
A travel pillow includes a lashing strap, a pillowcase, and an inner support; the inner support is received in the pillowcase; a first end of the lashing strap is fixedly connected to the inner support through the pillowcase; a second end of the lashing strap opposite to the first end is detachably connected to the first end; the inner support comprises a first support and a second support; and the first support and the second support are configured to be elastically adaptively connected to each other in a supporting direction.
Preferably, the inner support further includes an elastic connector arranged between the first support and the second support.
Preferably, the first support and the second support are respectively provided with a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion which face away from each other, and are respectively provided with a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion which face each other; and the elastic connector is adaptively connected between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.
Preferably, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are of sleeve structures; the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are respectively provided with a first receiving hole and a second receiving hole; and two ends of the elastic connector are respectively pressed and received in the first receiving hole and the second receiving hole.

Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the beneficial effects below:
According to the present disclosure, the pillowcase can cooperate with the inner support to form a complete “pillow”. Alternatively, the pillowcase and the lashing strap can be connected by the connecting buckle, and the pillowcase is fixed at the neck of a user through the lashing strap and used as a travel pillow. For example, the travel pillow provides effective auxiliary supporting for a user when the user travels by plane, high-speed train, and medium and long-distance bus. Meanwhile, the inner support includes two elastically connected supports, which can avoid interruption or chaos of the supporting effect of the pillow because of shake during the travel and achieve an effect of reducing the shake, namely, a buffering effect. In addition, it can further avoid poor experience due to the following fact: during shaking or posture adjustment on a part, the pressure applied by the head and the shoulders to the pillow disappears, so that the pillow may fall off, and the rest process of a user during travel may be affected.
In the drawings: 1: lashing strap; 11: first end; 12: second end; 101: loop fastener; 102: hook fastener; 2: pillowcase; 3: inner support; 31: first support; 311: first supporting portion; 312: first connecting portion; 313: third connecting portion; 32: second support; 321: first supporting portion; 322: second connecting portion; 323: fourth connecting portion; 33: elastic connector; 4: opening; and 5: connecting buckle.

The elastic connector 33 is adaptively connected between the first connecting portion 312 and the second connecting portion 322. In this embodiment, supporting and connecting structures of the supports are specifically arranged. It can be understood that the supporting and connecting structures are not limited to this, as long as they achieve the elastic connection between the two supports.
Further, the first connecting portion 312 and the second connecting portion 322 are of sleeve structures. The first connecting portion 312 and the second connecting portion 322 are respectively provided with a first receiving hole and a second receiving hole. Two ends of the elastic connector 33 are respectively pressed and received in the first receiving hole and the second receiving hole. In this embodiment, the two supports specifically use the sleeve structures which are simple and stable. It can be understood that the connecting structures are not limited to this.
In addition, based on connection, the first connecting portion 312 and the second connecting portion 322 are further provided with anti-separation structures which may specifically be buckle structures to prevent separation from each other.
Further, two groups of the first connecting portions 312 and two groups of the second connecting portions 322 are comprised, which are respectively located at two end portions vertical to the supporting direction. In this embodiment, the connecting structures are respectively arranged at the two ends, so that the connecting structures are stable.
Further, a third connecting portion 313 and a fourth connecting portion 323 which face each other are further respectively arranged in the middle of the first support 31 and the middle of the second support 32. The first end 11 of the lashing strap 1 is fixedly connected to the third connecting portion 313 and/or the fourth connecting portion 323. In this embodiment, the connecting structures in the middle are additionally configured to connect the lashing strap 1, so that they can be non-elastic structures, to achieve stable connection to the lashing strap 1.
Further, the first supporting portion 311 is of a head supporting structure, and at least includes one of the following: a chin supporting sub-portion, a lower jaw supporting sub-portion, a front neck connecting and supporting sub-portion, a rear neck connecting and supporting sub-portion, a supporting sub-portion for the back side of the head.
Further, the second supporting portion 321 is of a shoulder supporting structure.
Further, the elastic connector 33 includes a spring or an elastic material rod. It can be understood that the elastic connector may be a connecting structure made of another adaptive elastic material.
