Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of sleep-aiding health care equipment, and in particular relates to a sleep-aiding pillow and a sleep-aiding method. Background Art

[0002] Human sleep is a cyclical activity. The brain wave frequency changes regularly when the brain goes from wakefulness to sleep. Due to the rapid development of modern society, people's work and life rhythms are tense and stressful, resulting in insufficient sleep time and poor quality, which ultimately leads to sleep disorders or insomnia. In treatment, drugs and / or psychological counseling are generally used. In addition, there are physical treatments such as transcranial electrical stimulation and permanent magnet magnetic stimulation.

[0003] In recent years, a new technology has emerged, namely transcranial magnetic stimulation technology. The working principle of this technology is to penetrate the skull through a high-field pulsed electromagnetic field, act on the nerve tissue at a deeper position to cause an induced electromotive force, thereby inducing the excitement or inhibition of nerve cells. Since there is no need to penetrate the skin to install the device, it has the advantages of being non-invasive and painless. In addition, this technology generates a magnetic field through an energized coil, so the frequency of the magnetic field is adjustable, which can greatly increase the user's comfort during use. In 2014, Zhou Peng from Tianjin University invented a biological self-feedback sleep monitoring magnetic therapy device, but the invention mainly played the role of monitoring and inducing sleep, and did not have the function of inducing the user to wake up, and the patent did not provide a detailed research introduction on the technical means of inducing sleep; in 2016, Chen Jinli used this technology to conduct research on sleep therapy in the paper "Clinical Study of 1Hz Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the Treatment of Insomnia"; 1Hz is the frequency of deep sleep in the sleep cycle, and under normal circumstances, human sleep is a cyclical process, gradually entering deep sleep from light sleep, and the frequency of brain waves gradually decreases to about 1Hz; this technology of directly using 1Hz to aid sleep may cause discomfort to the user and aggravate sleep disorders.

[0039] The controller is connected to the electromagnetic coil 2 through a pulse magnetic field generator arranged in the pillow base 3, and at least one pulse magnetic field generator is arranged corresponding to the electromagnetic coil 2 in each collection area; by respectively arranging the electromagnetic coil 2 and the pulse magnetic field generator in each collection area, the electromagnetic coil 2 in each area can work or stop working independently, which greatly improves the operating reliability and stimulation accuracy of the sleep-aiding pillow; the pulse magnetic field generator can adopt the magnetic field generator used in the existing transcranial magnetic stimulation device, as long as it can drive the electromagnetic coil 2 to work and generate a magnetic field.

[0040] The pillowcase assembly includes a sanitary pad 11 disposed on a pillow base 3, and a plurality of protrusions 17 cooperating with the boss 8 are disposed on the sanitary pad 11 at positions corresponding to the EEG acquisition head pad 1, and both sides of the sanitary pad 11 are mounted on the pillow base 3 via Velcro 12; the protrusions 17 are correspondingly provided with a first opening 19 cooperating with the EEG acquisition sensor 10, and a second opening 18 cooperating with the reference electrode 9;

[0041] Specifically, the corresponding position on the sanitary pad 11 matches the shape of the EEG acquisition head pad 1, and the sanitary pad 11 is provided with a first opening 19 and a second opening 18 of corresponding size at the corresponding position of the EEG acquisition sensor 10 and the reference electrode 9, which is used to ensure the stable operation of the EEG acquisition sensor 10 and the reference electrode 9; by arranging Velcro 12 at the arc positions on the upper and lower sides of the sanitary pad 11, it is convenient to fix and disassemble and clean. In order to improve the comfort, the sanitary pad 11 can be made of soft materials such as cotton; by arranging a sanitary pad 11 that is easy to disassemble, the user can easily remove it for cleaning without replacing the EEG acquisition head pad 1, which is more convenient to use and reduces the probability of failure when the EEG acquisition head pad 1 is replaced, greatly improving the convenience, reliability and hygiene of the sleep-aid pillow.

[0046] The power supply control box 4 is provided with a charging interface electrically connected to the power supply battery, and a first data transmission connector connected to the controller, and the pillow base 3 is provided with a second data connector for transmitting data to the sensor acquisition mechanism and the electromagnetic generating mechanism, and the second data connector is provided corresponding to the first data connector;

[0047] Specifically, the charging interface can adopt an existing charging interface, as long as the charging of the power supply battery can be realized.

Specifically, the connector connection method can adopt the connection method of the existing connector and the electrical component, which is actually to use the data transmission connector instead of the wire to realize data transmission. Those skilled in the art can select different types of data transmission connectors as needed, which will not be repeated here;

[0048] The power supply battery can be a lithium battery. Using a lithium battery to power components such as a controller is an existing technology and will not be elaborated here. As long as the normal power supply to the controller can be achieved, it will be fine. The controller adopts but is not limited to the existing STM32F103ZET6 small system board. As long as the control of the pulse magnetic field generator and other components can be achieved, it will not be elaborated here. The creation of the present invention mainly lies in the structural innovation of the pillow, which is conducive to improving the comfort, sleep-aiding effect, and ease of use of the pillow. Various components in the transcranial magnetic stimulation device can adopt existing mature technologies and components, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] The left acquisition area and the right acquisition area are symmetrically arranged, and the areas of both are one quarter of the area of ​​the entire EEG acquisition head pad 1; the middle acquisition area is arranged in the middle of the EEG acquisition head pad 1, and the distribution area of ​​the middle acquisition area is one half of the area of ​​the entire EEG acquisition head pad 1;

[0050] Specifically, the EEG acquisition area is divided into three areas: left, middle and right, of which the left and right areas each occupy one quarter, and the middle area occupies one half; the middle area is the main sleeping area, and the acquisition area is larger than the two sides in order to more stably collect EEG signals. At the same time, the number of electromagnetic coils 2 corresponding to this area is more than that on the two sides, so that the emitted electromagnetic waves can act more effectively on the sleeping area of ​​the brain; the left and right areas are set as auxiliary function areas, which takes into account more comprehensively the process of leaving the middle area or being partially in the middle area during sleep. The left and right sides assist in increasing electromagnetic waves, thereby ensuring the effect of helping sleep without restricting the behavior of the user. This method is more natural and humane.

[0053] S2. The controller controls the operation of the pulse magnetic field generators in the left, middle and right acquisition areas according to the location of the human brain.

[0054] Specifically, by comparing the source location of the EEG signal data through the controller, the location of the human brain can be determined, and then the pulse magnetic field generator at the location of the human brain can be controlled to work, while reducing the power of the pulse magnetic field generators in other areas. While achieving precise transcranial magnetic stimulation, it is also beneficial to reduce the energy consumption of the sleep-aid pillow and increase the use time of the sleep-aid pillow; by performing precise stimulation on different collection areas, the sleep-aid effect of the sleep-aid pillow is also improved; the present invention achieves that the sleep-aid effect of various parts of the pillow can adapt to the user's head movement without restricting the user's brain activity, thereby optimizing the sleep-aid effect and greatly improving the comfort and applicability of the sleep-aid pillow.
