Health Bed Device for Actively Supporting Neck and Shoulder and Method thereof

Abstract

A health bed device for actively supporting neck and shoulder and a method thereof mainly comprises a head air bladder set and a neck and shoulder air bladder set installed in the top surface, near a front end, of a cushion in a mattress. The head air bladder set is not aerated, and the neck and shoulder air bladder set is full of air. Each air bladder of the head air bladder set and the neck and shoulder bladder set is connected to an aerating/deflating device through air tubes. The air tubes are connected to a control device, so the control device derives the aerating/deflating device to aerate or deflate the air bladders of the head air bladder set and the neck and shoulder air bladder set. Each air tube is connected to a pressure sensor. When a pressure sensor detects the pressure of a air bladder increasing suddenly, it can determine that a user changes his/her sleep position from lying on his/her back to lying on his/her side. The air bladders whose pressures increased are the air bladder pressed by the user. Meanwhile, the control device derives the aerating/deflating device to automatically decrease the pressures inside the air bladders to setting values, and to aerate the air bladders of the head air bladder set to setting value so as to reduce the pressure on the user's shoulder.
