It will be understood by those skilled in the art that in the present disclosure, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," and the like are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation, as the terms are used in the description to indicate that the referenced device or element must have the specified orientation, be constructed and operated in the specified orientation, and not for the purpose of limitation.
It is understood that the terms "a" and "an" should be interpreted as meaning that a number of one element or element is one in one embodiment, while a number of other elements is one in another embodiment, and the terms "a" and "an" should not be interpreted as limiting the number.
As shown in fig. 1, 2A-2C and 3, the present invention provides a first embodiment, which provides a posture correction device 1, wherein the posture correction device 1 is used for supporting the lower jaw of a user. When the posture correcting device 1 is worn on the neck of the user, the posture correcting device 1 will provide a supporting force to the lower jaw of the user to prevent the head of the user from leaning forward. That is, the posture-correcting device 1 is used to correct the posture of the head of the user during walking.
It will be appreciated that the posture correcting device 1 does not simply fill the space between the user's chin and chest, but provides a stable and safe supporting force for the user's chin and even the entire head in the space. When the lower jaw of the user is lifted, the posture of the whole head can be well corrected.
Specifically, the posture correcting device 1 includes a support body 10, the support body 10 has two ends, the support body 10 is surrounded so that the two ends are opposite, a wearing space 100 is formed inside the surrounded support body 10, and an opening 101 is formed between the two ends of the support body 10. It is understood that the opening 101 of the support body 10 is located at a side.
The neck pillow is different from a common neck pillow in a symmetrical design, namely, the opening is in the middle, namely, the neck pillow is just at the position of the lower jaw of a user, so that when the opening is in the middle, the neck pillow can not provide stable supporting force for the lower jaw. Therefore, in the present invention, the opening 101 of the support body 10 is located at the side.
The positional relationship of the support body 10 is determined according to the position of the head of the user after wearing. The front part is divided into a lower jaw part and a chin part according to the head position of the user, that is, the support body 10 supports the lower jaw part, the chin part and the rear part, respectively. Thus, the support body 10 is divided into a front support 11, a side support 12 and a rear support 13, wherein in the present embodiment, the front support 11 and the side support 12 and the rear support 13 are integrally formed.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2A, a top view of the support body 10 is illustrated, wherein the position of the opening 101 is located in the middle of the side support 12 on one side, i.e. the front support 11 and the rear support 13 are in a first axial direction in cross section with the support body 10 taken as a rectangular coordinate system, and the opening 101 is arranged 45 ° off the axial direction of the front support 11. It is noted that the position of the opening 101 may be any position other than the front support 11.
When the supporting body 10 is worn on the neck of the user, the front support 11 is located right in front of the head, the side supports 12 are located between the right in front of the head and the left and right ears, and the rear support 13 is located right behind the head. It is to be noted that the opening 101 is located in the side support 12. Therefore, the support body 10 has the side supports 12 on the left and right sides, and the opening 101 is located on one side thereof.
Further, the front support 11 has an upper surface 111 and a lower surface 112, and the distance between the upper surface 111 and the lower surface 112, i.e. the thickness of the front support 11, is approximately equal to the normal height from the chin to the front chest of the average user. Thus, when the front support 11 is worn, the lower surface 112 is positioned against the user's anterior chest and the upper surface 111 is positioned against the user's lower jaw.
Preferably, the upper surface 111 is used for supporting the lower jaw of the user, and in particular, the upper surface 111 is provided as an upper inclined surface 111, and the upper surface 111 extends upward from inside to outside in the transverse direction, so that the lower jaw of the user can be stabilized while being placed on the upper inclined surface 111. On the other hand, the lower surface 112 is provided with a lower inclined surface 112, and the lower inclined surface 112 extends downwards from inside to outside in the transverse direction, so that the lower inclined surface 112 is attached to the chest of the user.
The lower surface 112 has a greater length in the lateral direction than the upper surface 111, so that a kind of triangular supporting effect is entirely formed, thereby providing a stable supporting effect to the lower jaw of the user. Lower surface 111 is an inclined plane, lower surface 111 laminates and supports user's prothorax position, the degree of slope of the front chest of user is laminated to inclined plane inclination angle.
When the user's lower jaw contacts the upper surface 111, the lower surface 112 abuts against the user's chest and provides a supporting force to the lower jaw to support the lower jaw against downward movement, i.e., against forward tilting of the entire head. Thus, under normal wear conditions, both the lower surface 112 and the upper surface 111 are fully seated against the lower jaw and the front chest.
It is to be noted that the front support 11 is snugly fixed in position between the user's chin and chest when the support body 10 is worn on the user's neck. At this time, the support body 10 allows the user to rock left and right, that is, the user's lower jaw may need to be temporarily separated from the upper surface 111 of the front support 11. Accordingly, a recessed space 1110 is provided in the upper surface 111, the recessed space 1110 being for seating the lower jaw of the user. On the one hand, a comfortable support is provided for the lower jaw of the user; on the other hand, when the user's head is rotated, the lower jaw can slide out of the depressed space 1110, and when the user's head is rotated back to the original position, the lower jaw can return to the depressed space 1110, and then a normal wearing state is achieved. Meanwhile, during the process that the head of the user shakes left and right during wearing of the support body 10, the support body 10 is still kept at the original position, so that the head of the user still supports against the lower jaw and the front chest when returning to the normal position.
The front support 11 is held in an up and down position by the user's lower jaw and anterior chest, that is, the upper and lower surfaces of the front support 11 abut against the user's lower jaw and anterior chest, respectively. The anterior support 11 completes the support of the mandible in the superior-inferior position.
On the other hand, the left and right positions of the front support 11 are fixed by the side supports 12, respectively, and it is understood that the side supports 12 are located at both sides of the front support 11, and the side supports 12 form a height difference with the front support 11 in the lateral direction, that is, the side supports 12 rise curvilinearly from the front support 11. Since the chin and cheek of the human body have a certain curvature, the side supports 12 and the front support 11 form an undulating shape. By the contoured shape of the side supports 12 and the front support 11, the chin and mandible can be brought closer together.
Specifically, the side support 12 has an upper surface 121 and a lower surface 122, and after being worn, the upper surface 121 of the side support 12 contacts the chin and the lower surface 122 contacts the shoulder, so that the side support 12 is positioned between the shoulder and the chin to provide support to the chin. And, the lower surface 122 forms a high-low curve, and the upper surface 121 also forms a high-low curve, and the side supports 12 support the chin while the front support 11 supports to the lower jaw.
The upper surface 121 of the side support 12 forms a recessed space 1210 when a user wears a headset over his or her ear. The recessed space 1210 provides a placement space for the earphone so that a stable supporting force is maintained while not affecting the use of the headset.
The lower surface 122 of the side support 12 forms an upper concave space 1220, and the upper concave space 1220 fits the curve of the shoulder of the user when the user wears the posture-correcting device 1, thereby facilitating the stable wearing on the shoulder and dispersing the pressure applied to the shoulder by the posture-correcting device 1.
After wearing, the side supports 12 further fix the position of the front support 11 while completing the support of the chin, so that the position of the front support 11 is always right in front.
Further, the rear support 13 is semicircular, the rear support 13 forms a supporting space for supporting the back neck of the user, the rear support 13 has an upper surface 131 and a lower surface 132, after being worn, the lower surface 132 fits the back of the user and extends to the shoulders, and the upper surface 131 provides a supporting surface for the user when the user leans back.
It is worth mentioning that the rear support 13 is fixed at the rear and provides a pulling force of the front support 11 and the side supports 12 backward after the front support 11 and the side supports 12 are fixed. Therefore, it can be understood that the front support 11, the side supports 12, and the rear support 13 all have fixed positions when worn, and therefore, when the posture correction device 1 is worn by a user, the relative positional relationship between the posture correction device 1 and the head of the user is determined, and the relative positions are largely changed, and the two cannot be fitted.
Therefore, it can be understood that the front support 11 corresponds to the lower jaw of the human body during the wearing process, and thus the front support 11 can support the lower jaw of the human body to keep the head of the user in an upright state to avoid some injuries caused by the bending of the neck.
In addition, the lateral supports 12 and the front support 11 form a distributed stress area, and stress points of the distributed stress area are distributed, so that the stress of the whole part is relatively even. Therefore, the stress of each part of the head of the user is not much different in the wearing process.

Thus, when the front support 11A is worn, the lower surface 112A is positioned against the user's anterior chest and the upper surface 111A is positioned against the user's lower jaw.
When the user's lower jaw contacts the upper surface 111A, the lower surface 112A abuts against the user's anterior chest and provides a supporting force to the lower jaw to support the lower jaw against downward movement, i.e., against forward tilting of the entire head. Thus, under normal wear conditions, both the lower surface 112A and the upper surface 111A are fully seated against the lower jaw and the front chest.
It is noted that the front support 11A is snugly secured in place between the user's chin and chest when the support body 10A is worn about the user's neck. In addition, the opening 101A is provided at the side support 12A at one side thereof, so that the support body 10A allows the user to roll left and right, and the support body 10A is still maintained at the original position during the roll of the head of the user during wearing, so that the head of the user still abuts against the chin and the front chest when returning to the normal position.
The front support 11A is held in an up-down position by the user's lower jaw and anterior chest, that is, the upper and lower surfaces of the front support 11A abut against the user's lower jaw and anterior chest, respectively.
On the other hand, the left and right positions of the front support 11A are fixed by the side supports 12A, respectively, and the side supports 12A are provided on both sides of the front support 11A.

The binding band 21A pulls the front support 11A and the side supports 12A to be fixed at the position of the user's chin and chin.
The position at which the connecting buckle 22A fastens the restraining strap 21A can be adjusted to tighten or loosen the support of the user by the front support 11A and the side supports 12A. On the other hand, different users have slightly different shapes of the chin and cheek portions, or heights of the chin and cheek portions from the neck and the front chest. Thus, the front support 11A and the side supports 12A adjust the fit to the user's head by the tightness of the restraining straps 21A.
It is understood that the binding structure 20A may also be other binding means, such as a snap, a lock, etc.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the side supports 12A are respectively disposed at two sides of the front support 11A, and a rear opening 102A is formed between the side supports 12A, the rear opening 102A is different from the position of the opening of the first embodiment, and the rear opening 102A is located at the rear, so that the present embodiment is suitable for a user to support the lower jaw only.

The support body 10B supports the lower jaw, the chin and the rear portion, respectively, which are distinguished according to the head position of the user, and divided into an anterior portion and a posterior portion, respectively. Thus, the support body 10B is divided into a front support 11B, a side support 12B and a rear support 13B, wherein in the present embodiment, the front support 11B and the side support 12B and the rear support 13B are integrally formed.
When the neck of the user is worn by the support main body 10B, the front support 11B is located right in front of the head, the side supports 12B are located between the right in front of the head and the left and right ears, and the rear support 13B is located right behind the head. It is to be noted that the opening 101B is located in the side support 12B. Therefore, the support body 10B has the side supports 12B on the left and right sides, and the opening 101B is located on one side thereof.
Further, the front support 11B has an upper surface 111B and a lower surface 112B, and the distance between the upper surface 111B and the lower surface 112B, i.e. the thickness of the front support 11B, is approximately equal to the normal height from the chin to the front chest of the average user. Thus, when the front support 11B is worn, the lower surface 112B is positioned against the user's anterior chest and the upper surface 111B is positioned against the user's lower jaw.
When the user's lower jaw contacts the upper surface 111B, the lower surface 112B abuts against the user's anterior chest and provides a supporting force to the lower jaw to support the lower jaw, preventing the lower jaw from moving downward, i.e., preventing the entire head from tilting forward. Therefore, under normal wearing conditions, the lower surface 112B and the upper surface 111B are both completely pressed against the lower jaw and the front chest.
It is noted that the front support 11B is snugly secured in place between the user's chin and chest when the support body 10B is worn on the user's neck. In addition, the opening 101B is provided at the side support 12B at one side thereof, so that the support body 10B allows the user to roll left and right, and the support body 10B is still maintained at an original position during the roll of the head of the user during wearing, so that the head of the user still abuts against the chin and the front chest when returning to a normal position.
