As shown in Figure 6, the control means 46 is a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention, the heating operation of the heater 26 and the first to third vibration generating members (18, 20, 22) It is a microcomputer to control the vibration behavior of the.

The power supply unit 48 receives an AC voltage of 220V from an external AC power source, outputs a DC voltage of 5V to the control means 46, and at the same time, the first to third vibration generating members 18, 20, and 22. And the control means 46 to output an AC voltage of 220V to the heater 26.

Hereinafter will be described the effect of the pillow according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above.

First, it is assumed that the power supply button 30 is turned off and the plug (not shown) connected to the power supply button 30 is disconnected from an outlet (not shown) on the indoor wall as an initial condition for explaining the operation.

In addition, it is assumed that all of the first to fourth intensity buttons 38, 40, 42, and 44 are turned off in the vibration intensity selection switch 32.

It is also assumed that the heater operation switch 34 is off.

In addition, it is assumed that the handle of the timer 36 indicates the position of 0 minutes.

First, the user inserts the plug into an outlet.

Then, an AC voltage of 220 V is supplied to the power supply means 48 from an external AC power source. Subsequently, a DC voltage of 5V is supplied from the power supply means 48 to the control means 46.

At the same time, an AC voltage of 220 V is output from the power supply means 48 to the first switching circuit 50, the second switching circuit 52, the third switching circuit 54 and the fourth switching circuit 56.

The user then presses the second intensity button 40 of the vibration intensity selection switch 32. Then, the intensity signal of "medium" is output from the second intensity button 40 to the control means 46.

Next, the user presses all of the left part selecting button 58, the center part selecting button 60 and the right part selecting button 62 among the vibrating part selecting switches 57. Then, the vibration position signal is outputted to the control means 46 from the left site selection button 58, the center site selection button 60 and the right site selection button 62.

The user then turns on the heater operation switch 34.

Subsequently, a heater operation signal is output from the heater operation switch 34 to the control means 46.

The user then rotates the handle of the timer 36 to position the handle at the position of 30 minutes. The operation time signal is then output from the timer 36 to the control means 46.

Subsequently, a control signal is output from the control means 46 to the first to fourth switching circuits 50, 52, 54, and 56. Then, the first switching circuit 50, the second switching circuit 52, and the third switching circuit 54 are turned on.

Subsequently, a voltage having a magnitude MIDDLE is applied from the first switching circuit 50 to the first vibration generating member 18. Then, the first vibration generating member 18 vibrates to the middle.

At the same time, a voltage having a magnitude of is applied from the second switching circuit 52 to the second vibration generating member 20. Then, the second vibration generating member 20 vibrates to the middle.

At the same time, a voltage having a magnitude of is applied from the third switching circuit 54 to the third vibration generating member 22. Then, the third vibration generating member 22 vibrates to the middle.

At the same time, a voltage of 220 V is applied from the fourth switching circuit 56 to the heater 26. The heater 26 then generates heat.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the user cuts and lie down on a pillow composed of the head support 2 and the neck and shoulder support 4.

Then, from the first vibration generating member 18, the second vibration generating member 20, and the third vibration generating member 22 through the neck / shoulder support part 4 and a pillowcase, Vibration is transmitted to the left side and the right side, the center and the left side of the user's shoulder.

Therefore, the user's neck 5 and shoulder 7 are massaged for 30 minutes, which is the set time set by the user 36.

At the same time, for 30 minutes, the set time set by the user in the timer 36, the heat generated from the heater 26 passes through the neck / shoulder support part 4 and the pillowcase through the neck of the user's right, center and left. (5) and shoulder (7).

On the other hand, when the user wants to massage only his right neck 5 and shoulder 7, he presses the right part selection button 62. The control signal is then output from the control means 46 to the second switching circuit 52.

Subsequently, a voltage is applied from the second switching circuit 52 to the second vibration generating member 20 so that only the second vibration generating member 20 vibrates at the strength selected by the vibration intensity selection switch 32.

As described above, according to the pillow and the driving control method according to the present invention, the head, neck and shoulders of the user are stabilized by supporting the head, neck and shoulders of the user by the head support and the neck / shoulder support connected to the curved surface. It has a very good effect to support comfortably.

In addition, by forming an air circulation arc in the left and right directions on the head support and neck and shoulder support, the user's head and neck and shoulders are supported by the head support and neck and shoulder support may have a cool feeling. There is a very good effect to prevent sweating on the user's head, neck and shoulders.

By installing the first vibration member, the second vibration member and the third vibration member in the neck / shoulder support part, the user can massage the shoulder while sleeping.

In addition, by selectively driving the first vibrating member, the second vibrating member, and the third vibrating member by the vibrating part selection switch, the user can massage only the desired part of the left part, the center part, and the right part of the neck and shoulder of the user. It is very effective. In addition, the vibration strength selector switch selects the vibration strength of the first vibration member, the second vibration member and the third vibration member from among strong, medium, weak and stationary, so that the user can massage the neck and shoulder at the desired strength. It works.

In addition, by forming the vibration transmission blocking groove in the neck and shoulder support there is a very excellent effect that can be massaged exactly where the user wants from the left part, the center part and the right part of the neck and shoulder of the user.

On the other hand, by installing a heater in the neck and shoulder support portion when the user cuts and lie down the head support and neck and shoulder support there is a very excellent effect that can transfer heat from the heater to the user's neck and shoulders.

On the other hand, by installing a magnet on the surface of the neck and shoulder support portion has a very excellent effect that can improve the health of the user by applying a magnetic force to the neck and shoulder of the user from the magnet.

On the other hand, by setting the vibration duration time of the first vibration generating member, the second vibration generating member and the third vibration generating member and the operation duration of the heater by a timer, the first to third vibration is generated only as long as desired by the user. There is a very good effect of operating the member and the heater.

In addition, by installing an air bag whose height is adjusted by pumping the pump on the bottom surface of the head support and the neck and shoulder support, the height of the head support and the neck and shoulder support by the air bag according to the user's taste. There is a very good effect that can be set.
