DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0026] The specific embodiment 1 of the anti-snoring device of the present invention is as follows Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the anti-snoring device includes an anti-snoring device body 1, a restraining headband 2 and a restraining neckband 3. The anti-snoring device body 1 includes a main body shell, a massage module 4, a pulse current module 6 and a snoring detection module 5 arranged in the main body shell. The main body shell has an arc-shaped fitting portion for matching with the throat and neck contour of the human body. The restraining headband 2 is connected to the main body shell, and a first wearing space 20 for accommodating the human head is formed between the main body shell and the restraining headband 2. In this embodiment, the main body shell is a C-shaped shell 10, and the arc-shaped inner side surface 100 of the C-shaped shell 10 constitutes an arc-shaped fitting portion for matching with the throat and neck contour of the human body. The middle position of the C-shaped shell 10 is provided with a receiving cavity for installing the massage module 4, the pulse current module 6 and the snoring detection module 5.

[0027] Specifically, the C-shaped shell 10 is made of hard plastic, and the arc-shaped inner side surface 100 of the C-shaped shell 10 matches the contour of the throat and neck of the human body, ensuring good fit and comfort when worn by the patient. The anti-snoring device body 1 is fixed to the lower side of the chin of the human head by the restraining headband 2, so that the arc-shaped inner side surface 100 of the C-shaped shell 10 is attached to the throat and neck of the human body, which can not only restrain the patient's mouth from opening involuntarily during sleep, but also massage the corresponding acupoints of the patient through the massage module 4 to relieve the pain. Among them, the massage module 4 includes a driving motor 40 and a massage head 41, and the main shell 10 is provided with a through hole 101 for the massage head 41 to extend out at the position corresponding to the Lianquan acupoint 8 of the human body.

[0028] In this embodiment, the through hole 101 is formed on the arc-shaped inner wall 100 of the C-shaped housing 10, and the arc-shaped inner wall 100 of the C-shaped housing 10 in the accommodating cavity is also provided with a motor mounting seat 43, such as Figure 3As shown, the drive motor 40 is fixedly connected to the motor mounting seat 43, and the main shaft 42 of the drive motor 40 is connected to the massage head 41. In addition, the shape of the massage head 41 is a concave shape, that is, the massage head 41 includes a middle section and protrusions at both ends, the main shaft 42 of the drive motor 40 is connected to the middle section of the massage head 41, and the protrusions at both ends of the massage head 41 are used for frictional contact with human skin. When the drive motor 40 is working, the massage head 41 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the main shaft 42, and the protrusions at both ends of the massage head 41 are in frictional contact with the skin of the human body's Lianquan acupoint 8, simulating the circular kneading action in traditional massage techniques, which can continuously stimulate the Lianquan acupoint 8, increase the fluidity and temperature of local blood, play a role in clearing the throat, sharpening the tongue and unblocking the qi, and effectively relieve and prevent snoring for patients before falling asleep.

[0029] In order to improve the wearing comfort of the anti-snoring device body 1, a sponge pad layer 11 is coated on the outside of the C-shaped shell 10. The sponge pad layer 11 has the characteristics of softness, slight elasticity, moisture absorption and sweat release, which can effectively prevent the patient's throat and neck from sweating seriously during sleep. In addition, a restraining neckband 3 is also connected to the C-shaped shell 10. The restraining neckband 3 and the restraining headband 2 are arranged separately. The restraining headband 2 and the restraining neckband 3 are respectively connected to the two ends of the C-shaped shell 10, and a second wearing space 30 for accommodating the human neck is formed between the restraining neckband 3 and the main shell 3. When wearing the device, the main body 1 of the anti-snoring device is placed against the patient's neck so that the arc-shaped inner wall 100 of the C-shaped shell 10 is attached to the patient's chin, and the restraining headband 2 is tightly wrapped around the patient's head and the restraining neckband 3 is tightly wrapped around the patient's neck. The restraining headband 2 ensures that the massage module 4 works on the Lianquan acupoint 8, and the restraining neckband 3 prevents the main body 1 of the anti-snoring device from falling off the neck, preventing the patient from unconsciously removing the main body 1 after falling asleep, thereby improving the reliability of treatment during sleep.

[0030] In addition, the restraining headband 2 has an elastic expansion section, and the restraining headband 2 is connected to the C-shaped shell 10 by Velcro adhesive bonding; the restraining neckband 3 has the same structure as the restraining headband 2. Specifically, the restraining headband 2 includes a first elastic expansion section 21 in the middle and flexible cloth straps at both ends. The flexible cloth strap of the restraining headband 2 is fixedly connected to the C-shaped shell 10, and the flexible cloth strap at one end is a disconnected structure. A first Velcro 22 is provided at the disconnected position of the flexible cloth strap. The disconnected flexible cloth straps are connected as a whole through the bonding cooperation between the first Velcro 22, which realizes the detachable connection of the restraining headband 2 and the adjustable tightness of the anti-snoring device body 1 when worn. Correspondingly, the restraining neckband 3 includes a second elastic expansion section 31 in the middle and flexible cloth straps at both ends, and a second Velcro 32 is provided on the flexible cloth strap of the restraining neckband 3, which can also achieve the purpose of adjusting the tightness of the restraining neckband 3 when worn.

[0031] In this embodiment, the snoring detection module 5 is electrically connected to the pulse current module 6, and a snoring loudness setting value is preset in the snoring detection module 5. The snoring detection module 5 includes a processor 50, a microphone 51, a breathing sensor 52 and a memory 53. The processor 50 is electrically connected to the microphone 50, the breathing sensor 51, the memory 53 and the pulse current module 6 respectively, and the snoring loudness setting value is set in the memory 53 of the snoring detection module 5. Specifically, the processor 50 uses an STM32F103R6 single-chip microcomputer, which uses a CORTEX-M3 core and has the characteristics of low energy consumption, low cost and good performance; the microphone 51 is a miniature microphone, and the breathing sensor 52 is a PVDF breathing sensor. The design of combining the microphone 51 and the breathing sensor 52 is used to detect the snoring loudness and breathing frequency of the patient respectively, and the snoring state of the patient during sleep is detected by the snoring signal and the breathing signal.

[0032] The microphone 51 acquires the patient's snoring in real time, and converts the snoring audio signal into a snoring electrical signal and transmits it to the processor 50. The processor 50 determines whether the current snoring exceeds the preset snoring loudness setting value in the memory 53. If so, the pulse current module 6 is controlled to work, and the pulse current is used to stimulate the patient's body surface so that the patient can adjust the sleeping posture independently; if not, the monitoring continues. In addition, the respiratory sensor 52 has a filter circuit and an amplifier chip of model LM358 inside. The filter circuit is used to process environmental noise and the power frequency interference generated by the circuit itself. The amplifier chip is used to enhance the weak electrical signal generated by the patient's respiratory vibration. The enhanced respiratory electrical signal is transmitted to the processor 50, and the processor 50 determines whether the patient is currently in a dangerous state of apnea. The patient's sleep state is monitored together in two ways to ensure the safety of the patient during sleep.

[0033] A power supply 7 is also provided in the C-shaped housing 10. The power supply 7 is electrically connected to the snoring detection module 5 and the pulse current module 6. The power supply 7 provides the current required for the processor 50, microphone 51, respiratory sensor 52 and memory 53 of the snoring detection module 5. Specifically, a pulse current generating circuit is provided in the pulse current module 6, which is used to convert the direct current output by the power supply 7 into a pulse current. It should be noted that the waveform of the pulse current is a square wave pulse with a frequency of 1 to 8 Hz. The magnitude of the pulse current is about 1 mA, which is much lower than the safety current of the human body and can simulate the stimulation effect of acupuncture. Two conductive patches 12 are provided on the lower side of the C-shaped housing 10 corresponding to the positions on both sides of the human throat. A wire is connected between the two conductive patches 12 and the pulse current module 6, and a current loop is formed through the pulse current module 6, the wire, the conductive patch 12 and the human skin.

[0034] In addition, a Bluetooth receiving module 54 is also provided in the C-shaped housing 10. The Bluetooth receiving module 54 is electrically connected to the processor 50 of the snoring detection module 5. The model of the Bluetooth receiving module 54 is a HC05HC05 master-slave integrated Bluetooth module, which can receive external Bluetooth signals and transmit them to the processor 50, thereby adjusting the snoring loudness setting value of the snoring detection module 5 and the pulse current size of the pulse current module 6. The external Bluetooth signal can be the patient's mobile phone. By turning on the mobile phone Bluetooth to connect with the Bluetooth receiving module 54 of the snoring stopper, the working mode and corresponding parameters of the snoring stopper can be conveniently adjusted by operating the mobile phone.

[0035] In order to meet different usage requirements, other specific embodiments of the snoring device of the present invention can directly omit the restraining neck strap and only retain the restraining head strap, and a net bag structure is provided at the top of the head corresponding to the restraining head strap. The net bag structure is tightly wrapped around the patient's head, so that the snoring device body is attached to the patient's throat and neck, ensuring the reliability of wearing and massaging effects.

[0036] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
