Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of snoring treatment, and specifically relates to a device for adjusting the mandibular position and airway pressure of snoring patients. Background Technology

[0002] Snoring, a common and widespread sleep disorder, has a complex pathogenesis. The main causes of snoring in snoring patients can be attributed to anatomical or functional problems such as nasal obstruction, pharyngeal narrowing, and laryngeal abnormalities. When patients are in a snoring state for extended periods, it often leads to a series of serious consequences. Frequent sleep apnea and cerebral hypoxia result in symptoms such as dry mouth, dizziness, and drowsiness the next day, severely impacting their daily life and work efficiency. More seriously, long-term severe snoring can also cause high blood pressure, significantly increasing the risk of myocardial infarction, while also increasing the burden on various organs, posing a serious threat to the patient's overall health. Therefore, for snoring patients, timely and effective medical intervention, using specialized medical equipment for treatment, is particularly urgent and necessary.

[0003] Among the many devices for treating snoring, ventilators specifically designed for snoring patients are the most widely used and effective. With the rapid development of modern medical technology, the types of ventilators for treating snoring patients are becoming increasingly diverse, with significant improvements in functional design and ease of use, providing patients with more choices and a better treatment experience.

[0004] However, existing ventilators for treating snoring patients have the following drawbacks in the process of regulating pressure in the jaw and airway: 1. Existing ventilators, in use, have relatively limited upper-level functions, mainly confined to the basic role of assisting breathing. For some patients with severe snoring, the contact area between the tracheal wall and the mandibular region is too large during sleep, preventing sufficient airflow. This poor airflow not only fails to alleviate snoring but may even worsen it. More importantly, ordinary ventilators lack the function to adjust for the respiratory linkage between the mandible and airway, failing to make precise adjustments based on the patient's actual breathing condition. This significantly reduces the treatment effectiveness for snoring patients and fails to meet clinical needs. 2. During assisted breathing, the oxygen delivery rate of a conventional ventilator is usually set to a fixed, consistent value. However, a patient's breathing is not constant during sleep, and respiratory obstruction can occur. When respiratory obstruction increases, the amount of oxygen entering the jaw, larynx, and trachea decreases. As the gas volume gradually decreases, the linkage between the jaw and airway weakens, leading to a significant reduction in the ventilator's ability to regulate air pressure during sleep in patients with snoring. This results in the inability to provide stable and effective respiratory support, impacting the overall quality of treatment.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a device that links the jaw position and airway pressure of snoring patients to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a device for adjusting the mandibular position and airway pressure in patients with snoring, thereby resolving the issues raised in the background section.

One end of the tube is connected to an upper toothed sleeve, and one end of the second air tube is connected to a lower toothed sleeve. Airbags are installed at the bottom of the upper toothed sleeve and the top of the lower toothed sleeve. A second flexible tube is inserted and connected to one side of the first air tube and one side of the second air tube, and one end of the two second flexible tubes is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the two airbags respectively. A bent tube is connected between the other end of the first air tube and the other end of the second air tube, passing through the mask. A second pair of connecting tubes is inserted and connected to one side of the bent tube, and one end of the first flexible tube is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the second pair of connecting tubes. Preferably, a breathing tube is installed on one side of the top of the ventilator body, and the other end of the air delivery tube is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the breathing tube.

[0008] Preferably, an air inlet is provided at the middle position of one side of the inner wall of the mask, and the inner wall of the air inlet is connected to the inner wall of the first pair of connecting pipes. A nose groove is provided at the top of the mask, and ear loops are fixedly provided on both sides of the outer wall of the mask. A strap is fixedly connected between the two ear loops.

[0009] Preferably, the pressurization mechanism includes a connecting pipe that is inserted and installed on one side of the breathing tube, a pressure sensor is installed on one side of the connecting pipe, and a wire is inserted and connected to one side of the pressure sensor.

[0010] Preferably, an electrically controlled valve is installed on one side of the connecting pipe, and one end of the wire is inserted and connected to one end of the electrically controlled valve. The electrically controlled valve is electrically connected to the pressure sensor through the wire.

[0011] Preferably, a mounting cover is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting tube, and a mounting hole is opened on the top of the ventilator body on one side of the breathing tube. The mounting cover is fixedly connected to the top of the ventilator body directly above the mounting hole, and a booster fan is installed on the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the ventilator body is provided with a guide groove below the mounting hole, and an air inlet groove is provided on one side of the ventilator body, and the air inlet groove is connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole through the guide groove.

[0013] Preferably, a dustproof plate is installed at the edge of the inner wall of the air inlet slot, and a handle slot is provided at the upper edge of both sides of the outer wall of the ventilator body. A control panel is installed on the other side of the top of the ventilator body.

[0014] Preferably, an electric control switch is installed on one side of the control panel, and the pressure sensor, electric control valve and booster fan are all electrically connected to an external power source through the electric control switch.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention, by setting up a mandibular airway linkage adjustment mechanism, allows oxygen from the ventilator body to enter the first hose through a connector. While the snoring patient wears the mask, the upper and lower toothed sleeves on one side of the mask are respectively placed inside the patient's mouth. Oxygen is intermittently introduced into the second hose, causing the airbags on the upper and lower toothed sleeves to intermittently expand and contract. This intermittently expands the patient's mandibular larynx during sleep, causing the airway to open and close intermittently with the patient's breathing. This allows for a linkage flow of gas between the mandible and the airway, and the linkage frequency can be kept consistent with the patient's breathing, making the patient's breathing smooth and preventing snoring, thus improving the treatment effect for snoring patients. 2. This invention utilizes a pressurizing mechanism. When a patient breathes rapidly, the airflow in the delivery tube cannot be fully absorbed, leading to airflow accumulation in the delivery tube and increasing the air pressure in the delivery and breathing tubes. After the air pressure rises, the pressure sensor detects that the pressure has reached a certain range in the connecting tube and immediately opens the electronic control valve via a wire, opening the channel between the mounting hole and the connecting tube. Simultaneously, the pressurizing fan starts, drawing air in through the air inlet and guide channels and quickly introducing it into the breathing and delivery tubes, thereby guiding it into the patient's airway. This accelerates the contraction and expansion of the airbag, thereby accelerating the linkage between the jaw and the airway, allowing the patient to quickly receive oxygen and promoting breathing. This improves the ventilator's ability to regulate the linkage between the jaw and airway in snoring patients, preventing suffocation caused by snoring. Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures pointed out in the description, claims and drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] This invention provides, for example Figure 1-8 The device shown is a joint adjustment device for mandibular position and airway pressure of a snoring patient, including a ventilator body 1, characterized in that: a mandibular airway joint adjustment mechanism 2 and a pressurization mechanism 7 are installed at the upper end of the ventilator body 1. The mandibular airway linkage adjustment mechanism 2 includes an air supply tube 201 that is inserted into the top of the ventilator body 1. One end of the air supply tube 201 is connected to a mask 202. A first connecting tube 203 is installed on one side of the mask 202, and one end of the air supply tube 201 is inserted into the first connecting tube 203. A tap 204 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the air supply tube 201. A first flexible tube 205 is inserted into one side of the tap 204, and a control valve 206 is installed on the other side of the tap 204. A first air guide tube 207 is inserted into one side of the inner wall of the mask 202, and a second air guide tube 208 is inserted into the inner wall of the mask 202 below the first air guide tube 207. One end of the first air tube 207 is connected to the upper toothed sleeve 209, and one end of the second air tube 208 is connected to the lower toothed sleeve 210. Airbags 211 are installed at the bottom of the upper toothed sleeve 209 and the top of the lower toothed sleeve 210. A second hose 212 is inserted and connected to one side of the first air tube 207 and one side of the second air tube 208. One end of the two second hoses 212 is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the two airbags 211 respectively. A bend 213 is connected between the other end of the first air tube 207 and the other end of the second air tube 208 through the mask 202. A second pair of connecting pipes 214 is inserted and connected to one side of the bend 213. One end of the first hose 205 is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the second pair of connecting pipes 214. During use, the snoring patient wears the mask 202 via the strap 6. While sleeping with the mask 202 on, the control valve 206 on the connector 204 is opened, allowing oxygen from the ventilator body 1 to be introduced into the patient's nose through the air delivery tube 201, facilitating sleep breathing in response to snoring. If the snoring patient experiences obstruction in the jaw or throat, and excessive airway pressure causes breathing difficulties, oxygen from the ventilator body 1 will enter the first hose 205 through the connector 204, and then flow through the first hose 205, the second connecting tube 214, the first air delivery tube 207, and the second air delivery tube 208 into the two second hoses 212. Simultaneously, while wearing the mask 202, the upper side of one side of the mask 202... The upper and lower clasps 209 and 210 are worn inside the patient's mouth and positioned by being clipped onto the upper and lower teeth. Oxygen introduced into the main body 1 of the ventilator is intermittently introduced through the second tubing 212, causing the airbags 211 on the upper and lower clasps 209 and 210 to intermittently expand and contract. This intermittently expands the patient's mandible and larynx during sleep, causing the airway to open and close intermittently with the patient's breathing. This results in a coordinated flow of gas between the mandible and the airway, with the frequency of the coordination kept consistent with the patient's breathing. This ensures smooth breathing and prevents snoring. The coordination with the mandible also makes breathing more comfortable for the patient and improves the treatment effect for snoring patients. Furthermore, a breathing tube 215 is installed on one side of the top of the ventilator body 1, and the other end of the air delivery tube 201 is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the breathing tube 215. The oxygen supply from the ventilator body 1 is provided to the air delivery tube 201 in an orderly and quantitative manner through the breathing tube 215, thereby rhythmically treating the snoring of the snoring patient. Furthermore, an air inlet 3 is provided in the middle of one side of the inner wall of the mask 202, and the inner wall of the air inlet 3 is connected to the inner wall of the first pair of connecting pipes 203. A nose groove 4 is provided at the top of the mask 202, and ear loops 5 are fixedly provided on both sides of the outer wall of the mask 202. A strap 6 is fixedly connected between the two ear loops 5. The mask 202 can be easily fixed to the patient's face through the ear loops 5 and the strap 6. At the same time, the nose groove 4 is provided at the top of the mask 202 mainly to adapt to the patient's face and make it more comfortable to wear. During the oxygen supply process, the patient inhales oxygen through the air inlet 3. Furthermore, the pressurization mechanism 7 includes a connecting pipe 701 inserted into one side of the breathing tube 215. A pressure sensor 702 is installed on one side of the connecting pipe 701, and a wire 703 is inserted into one side of the pressure sensor 702. The connecting pipe 701 is connected to the breathing tube 215. Therefore, when the patient breathes rapidly, the airflow in the air delivery tube 201 cannot be fully absorbed by the patient, resulting in the accumulation of airflow in the air delivery tube 201, thereby increasing the air pressure in the air delivery tube 201 and the breathing tube 215.

[0021] An electric control valve 704 is installed on one side of the connecting pipe 701, and one end of the wire 703 is inserted and connected to one end of the electric control valve 704. The electric control valve 704 is electrically connected to the air pressure sensor 702 through the wire 703. After the air pressure rises, the air pressure sensor 702 detects that the pressure in the connecting pipe 701 has risen to a certain range, and immediately opens the electric control valve 704 through the wire 703, so that the channel between the mounting hole 706 and the connecting pipe 701 is opened.

[0022] A mounting cover 705 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting tube 701. A mounting hole 706 is opened on the top of the ventilator body 1 on one side of the breathing tube 215. The mounting cover 705 is fixedly connected to the top of the ventilator body 1 directly above the mounting hole 706. A booster fan 707 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting hole 706. After the channel between the mounting hole 706 and the connecting tube 701 is opened, the booster fan 707 is started.

[0023] A guide groove 708 is provided on the inner wall of the ventilator body 1 below the mounting hole 706. An air inlet groove 709 is provided on one side of the ventilator body 1, and the air inlet groove 709 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole 706 through the guide groove 708. After the booster fan 707 is started, air is drawn in through the air inlet groove 709 and the guide groove 708 and quickly introduced into the breathing tube 215 and the air delivery tube 201, and then introduced into the patient's airway. This accelerates the contraction and expansion of the air bag 211, thereby accelerating the linkage between the jaw and the airway, so that the patient can quickly obtain oxygen and promote the patient's breathing. This improves the ventilator's ability to regulate the linkage between the jaw and the airway of snoring patients and prevents the patient from suffocating due to snoring. Furthermore, a dustproof plate 8 is installed at the edge of the inner wall of the air intake slot 709, and a carrying handle 9 is provided at the upper edge of both sides of the outer wall of the ventilator body 1. A control panel 10 is installed on the other side of the top of the ventilator body 1. When oxygen is inhaled, the dustproof plate 8 filters dust and impurities in the air, and the carrying handle 9 makes it easy to lift the device and move it.

[0024] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
