Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a snoring treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS, OSAS) refers to apnea caused by obstructive lesions in the upper respiratory tract, and its main manifestation is snoring during sleep.

[0003] There are three common causes of snoring. The first is caused by weak oral muscle groups, the second is caused by weak nasal muscle groups, and the third is caused by adenoid hypertrophy. Common treatment methods for snoring generally include surgical resection, anti-snoring devices, and exercise and weight loss therapies.

[0004] The surgical resection therapy is to remove the part of the local upper airway stenosis that is significantly caused by tonsil, adenoid hypertrophy, etc. It is an invasive intervention with great trauma to the patient and is difficult to be accepted.

[0005] The anti-snoring therapy is currently the main means to prevent snoring during sleep. Wear a ventilator, anti-snoring patch, anti-snoring dental appliance, anti-snoring belt, etc. before going to bed to keep the patient's respiratory tract unobstructed during sleep. However, since the device needs to be worn frequently during sleep, the patient's acceptance is low, and once the device is removed, the patient is likely to resume snoring again. Therefore, the anti-snoring therapy treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and can only stop snoring but not cure it.

[0006] The exercise and weight loss therapy can fundamentally solve the problem of weak respiratory muscles caused by obesity. However, exercise requires a certain venue and time. Nowadays, most people are too busy to find the time and a suitable venue for weight loss exercise. Moreover, the exercise effect is mainly reflected on the body surface and cannot directly exercise the muscles of the throat and nasal cavity well. Summary of the Invention

[0050] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. And, based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0051] It should be noted that all the directional indications in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture. If this specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0052] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present application.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3, an embodiment of the present application provides an anti - snoring device 100, which includes a housing 1, a partition plate 2, and a vibration unit 3; the housing 1 has an inner cavity 10, an air inlet end 11 and an air outlet end 12 communicating with the inner cavity 10; the partition plate 2 is arranged inside the housing 1 to isolate the inner cavity 10 into a first cavity 101 and a second cavity 102, and the partition plate 2 is provided with a through - hole 20; the vibration unit 3 is movably arranged at the through - hole 20, and the vibration unit 3 is used to generate vibration sound waves with a frequency range of 20 - 300 Hz under the action of the working air flow. Among them, the working air flow is generated when the user exhales from the air inlet end 11 or inhales from the air outlet end 12, and the working air flow enters the second cavity 102 from the first cavity 101 through the through - hole 20.

[0054] The housing 1 is generally a hollow cylindrical structure, and the hollow area forms the inner cavity 10. On Figure 2 the left side shown, it is the air inlet end 11 of the anti - snoring device 100, and on Figure 2 the right side shown, it is the air outlet end 12 of the anti - snoring device. The air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12 do not specifically refer to a certain structure, but only indicate the direction. The on - off valve 32 of the anti - snoring device 100 provided in this embodiment opens the through - hole 20 and allows the gas to flow only when the gas pressure in the first cavity 101 is greater than the gas pressure in the second cavity 102. Therefore, the flow direction of the working air flow is fixed.

[0055] The air inlet end 11 is provided with only one air inlet 13, and the air outlet end 12 is provided with only one air outlet 14. The working air flow can only flow in from the air inlet 13 and can only flow out from the air outlet 14. The air inlet 13 is directly connected to the first cavity 101, and the air outlet 14 is directly connected to the second cavity 102. Compared with the situation where some anti - snoring devices have multiple air outlets at the air outlet 14, setting only one air outlet 14 is beneficial to maintaining the pressure in the second cavity 102 and is also convenient for inhalation training from the second end 12.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 2 , in addition to including the wall body 15 forming the contour, the housing 1 may also be provided with several support walls 16 in the inner cavity 10. These support walls 16 can assist the partition plate 2 in dividing the space of the inner cavity 10. For example, in this embodiment, the support walls 16 include a radial side wall 161 and a bottom wall 162. The radial side wall 161 shields a part of the air inlet 13 along the radial direction of the housing 1, and the bottom wall 162 is close to the air outlet 14.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the partition plate 2 is a plate - like structure with a relatively thin thickness, and is connected between the radial side wall 161 and the bottom wall 162, thereby dividing the inner cavity 10 into a first cavity 101 and a second cavity 102 that are roughly stacked up and down. In some embodiments, the partition plate 2 and the housing 1 are integrally formed. In some embodiments, the partition plate 2 and the housing 1 are separately manufactured and then fixedly connected, such as by welding, snap - connection, etc.

[0058] The isolation plate 2 is provided with a through hole 20, and the axis of the through hole 20 is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the isolation plate 2. The height of the through hole 20 can be equal to the thickness of the isolation plate 2, that is, the through hole 20 is directly formed by opening a hole in the isolation plate 2.

[0059] In this embodiment, the isolation plate 2 includes a substrate 21 and an extension portion 22 extending from the substrate 21 towards the first cavity 101. The extension portion 22 and the substrate 21 can be an integral structure. The substrate 21 can be a plate-like structure. At the position where an opening is required, the substrate 21 extends outwards to form the extension portion 22. The extension portion 22 is frustum-shaped. The through hole 20 penetrates through the extension portion 22, and the central axis is perpendicular to the substrate 21. The through hole 20 is truncated conical, and the conical shape is more conducive to guiding the airflow in the first cavity 101 into the first cavity 101.

[0060] Forming the through hole 20 directly on the isolation plate 2 simplifies the internal structure compared to additionally connecting a structure for placing the switching valve 32 on the isolation plate 2, reduces the assembly error between other structures and the isolation plate 2, improves the matching accuracy between structures, and can also ensure the sealing effect.

[0061] After assembly, the extension portion 22 extends into the first cavity 101 relative to the substrate 21, and there is no need to separately set aside space for the extension portion 22 outside the first cavity 101, thereby reducing the height of the snoring treatment device 100 as a whole in the axial direction of the through hole 20, further reducing the product volume in this direction, and making the product more compact and practical.

[0062] In some embodiments, the vibration unit 3 can be a metal shrapnel, which is attached to the through hole 20 of the isolation plate 2 facing the second cavity 102. One end of it is fixed on the isolation plate 2, and the other end is free. When there is no working airflow entering the first cavity 101, the metal shrapnel fits against the isolation plate 2 to close or semi-close the through hole 20. When the working airflow rushes from the first cavity 101 to the second cavity 102, the metal shrapnel vibrates, opens the through hole 20, and vibrates periodically under the continuous action of the working airflow, thereby generating vibration sound waves within a specific frequency range.

[0063] In this embodiment, the vibration unit 3 includes a bracket 30, a swing arm 31, and a switching valve 32. The bracket 30 is fixedly arranged relative to the housing 1. The first end 311 of the swing arm 31 is close to the air inlet end 11 and is rotatably connected to the bracket 30. The second end 312 of the swing arm 31 is close to the air outlet end 12. The switching valve 32 connects the first end 311 and the second end 312 and is located within the through hole 20. When the air pressure in the first chamber 101 is greater than that in the first chamber 101, the switching valve 32 periodically rotates around the bracket 30 together with the swing arm 31 to open the through hole 20, and under the restoring force of the swing arm 31, it resets to the through hole 20, thereby generating vibration sound waves. During this period, the working air flows into the first chamber 101 through the air inlet end 11, flows into the first chamber 101 through the through hole 20, and then flows out from the air outlet end 12; the frequency range of the vibration sound waves is 20 - 300 Hz; the working air is an exhaled air flow or an inhaled air flow. Among them, the exhaled air flow is the air flow inhaled into the air inlet end 11, and the inhaled air flow is the air flow sucked out at the air outlet end 12.

[0064] The bracket 30 of the vibration unit 3 is fixed to the isolation plate 2. The bracket 30 plays a role in supporting the swing arm 31 and is also the fulcrum of the swing arm 31. Since the isolation plate 2 is fixed relative to the housing 1, the bracket 30 is fixed relative to the housing 1. In other embodiments, the bracket 30 can be fixed to the inner wall 513 of the housing 1. In short, as long as the bracket 30 is fixedly arranged relative to the housing 1.

[0065] The swing arm 31 is a plate body with an arbitrary shape. When placed, its length direction is arranged along the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12. The swing arm 31 includes opposite first end 311 and second end 312. The first end 311 is close to the air inlet end 11, and the second end 312 is close to the air outlet end 12. The swing arm 31 can be rotatably connected to the bracket 30 through one or two rotating shafts.

[0066] The switching valve 32 is arranged close to the second end 312. The shape of the switching valve 32 matches the shape of the air inlet 13 and can completely close or substantially close the air inlet 13.

[0067] In this embodiment, the through hole 20 is a truncated cone, and the switching valve 32 includes a conical portion extending in the length direction away from the swing arm 31 to cooperate with the inner wall 513 of the extension portion 22.

[0068] In some embodiments, the connection between the switching valve 32 and the swing arm 31 is a flexible connection. The switching valve 32 is arranged on one side of the swing arm 31 close to the second end 312 and forms a flexible connection with the swing arm 31. That is, it is connected through a flexible material or a spring structure.

[0069] The vibration unit 3 provided in this embodiment is an asymmetric hinge motion structure. Taking the bracket 30 as the boundary, the switching valve 32 is located on the side of the bracket 30 to the second end 312. Since the switching valve 32 drives the swing arm 31 to rotate relative to the bracket 30, the distance from the bracket 30 to the second end 312 is the power arm of the swing arm 31. Conversely, the distance from the bracket 30 to the first end 311 is the resistance arm of the swing arm 31. The asymmetric hinge motion structure means that the power arm is longer than the resistance arm, which makes the structure of the entire snore treatment device 100 more compact. In other embodiments, the power arm can also be substantially equal in length to the resistance arm to form a symmetric hinge motion structure.

[0070] Whether it is exhalation training or inhalation training, the working air flow enters the first chamber 101 from the air inlet end 11. The working air flow refers to the air flow actively provided by the trainer. It can be provided by the trainer exhaling into the housing 1 from the air outlet end 12, or by the trainer inhaling through the housing 1 from the air inlet end. Whether it is the exhalation air flow or the inhalation air flow, the flow direction in the housing 1 is the same, and the principle of vibration is the same, and both belong to the working air flow.

[0071] Before the working air flow reaches the switching valve 32, the switching valve 32 completely closes the through hole 20 or substantially closes the through hole 20. Before the working air flow enters the first chamber 101 and before it enters the first chamber 101, regardless of whether the switching valve 32 completely closes the through hole 20 or does not completely close the through hole 20, the pressure in the first chamber 101 is greater than the pressure in the first chamber 101. Therefore, relatively speaking, the first chamber 101 is the high-pressure chamber and the first chamber 101 is the low-pressure chamber. Under the action of the pressure difference between the two chambers, the switching valve 32 moves away from the through hole 20, causing the through hole 20 to open, and the working air flow enters the first chamber 101 from the first chamber 101 through the through hole 20.

[0072] As mentioned above, "completely closing the through hole 20" by the switching valve 32 means that the switching valve 32 seals the through hole 20, and "substantially closing the through hole 20" means that the switching valve 32 does not completely seal the through hole 20, but does not completely open the through hole 20 either. That is to say, compared with the situation of completely sealing the through hole 20, it does not have to reach the completely sealed state, as long as it can be in a substantially sealed state, so that a pressure difference is generated between the first chamber 101 and the first chamber 101, enabling the switching valve 32 to move and open the through hole 20.

[0073] After the through-hole 20 is opened, the switching valve 32 resets under the restoring force of the swing arm 31, completely closing or substantially closing the through-hole 20, and the working air flow flows out from the air outlet end 12. The switching valve 32 is arranged on the swing arm 31, and the swing arm 31 rotates relative to the bracket 30 due to the movement of the switching valve 32. After the swing arm 31 rotates, it rotates reversely under the action of the restoring force provided by the resistance arm, so that the switching valve 32 resets to the through-hole 20, completely closing or substantially closing the through-hole 20. The working air flow is discharged from the first chamber 101 through the air outlet end 12 out of the housing 1. In this embodiment, during the rotation of the swing arm 31, the rebound force generated by the collision of the first end 311 (on the side of the resistance arm) with the isolation plate 2 causes the swing arm 31 to rotate reversely.

[0074] When the user continuously provides the working air flow, when the next working air flow enters the first chamber 101, the vibration unit 3 repeats the above operations, the pressure difference between the first chamber 101 and the first chamber 101 increases again, the switching valve 32 opens again, and so on. Therefore, the vibration unit 3 generates vibration sound waves. In this embodiment, the frequency range of the vibration sound waves is 20 - 300 Hz. The vibration sound waves within this frequency range can cause the vibration of the relevant muscles. Specifically, it can exercise the oral muscle group, nasal muscle group, and adenoid. Therefore, it can relieve or treat the snoring caused by the weakness of the oral muscle group, the snoring caused by the weakness of the nasal muscle group, and the snoring caused by the hypertrophy of the adenoid.

[0075] Among them, for the snoring caused by the weakness of the oral muscle group, the working air flow can be provided by mouth breathing or mouth suction. For the snoring caused by the weakness of the nasal muscle group, the working air flow can be provided by nose breathing or nose suction. For the snoring caused by the hypertrophy of the adenoid, the working air flow can be provided by mouth or nose breathing or mouth or nose suction.

[0076] The working air flow provided by the mouth or nose is not limited to the following ways: for example, it can be provided by connecting a mouthpiece to the housing 1, or by connecting a cover body adapted to the mouth to the housing 1, or by connecting a cover body adapted to the nose to the housing 1, or by connecting a cover body adapted to the mouth and nose to the housing 1. As long as the corresponding breathing air flow is provided to the snoring treatment device 100 according to the training purpose.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the air inlet 13 is open, the air outlet 14 is provided with a ventilation cover 17. The ventilation cover 17 is a plate-like structure, arranged at the air outlet 14, and the ventilation cover 17 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes. The number, shape, and size of the ventilation holes are not limited, as long as the air flow can be discharged. Further, the cross-sectional area of the air outlet can be adjusted by adjusting the number, shape, and size of the ventilation holes.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the intake cross-sectional area is approximately equal to the area of the air inlet 13. If there is no ventilation cover 17 and the thickness of the housing 1 is uniform everywhere, that is, the area of the air outlet 14 is basically the same as the area of the air inlet 13, so that the outlet cross-sectional area is basically equal to the intake cross-sectional area. If the ventilation cover 17 is provided, the outlet cross-sectional area is smaller than the intake cross-sectional area.

[0079] In other embodiments, if the areas of the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are basically the same, it is also possible to provide a ventilation cover 17 at the air inlet 13 and not provide a ventilation cover 17 at the air outlet 14, so that the intake cross-sectional area is smaller than the outlet cross-sectional area.

[0080] In other embodiments, the intake cross-sectional area and the outlet cross-sectional area can also be changed by adjusting the diameters of the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14.

[0081] In other embodiments, the intake cross-sectional area and the outlet cross-sectional area can also be adjusted by comprehensively adjusting the diameter of the air inlet 13, the presence or absence of the ventilation cover 17 at the air inlet 13, the characteristics of the ventilation holes of the ventilation cover 17, the diameter of the air outlet 14, the presence or absence of the ventilation cover 17 at the air outlet 14, and the characteristics of the ventilation holes, so as to adjust the pressure in the first chamber 101 and the first chamber 101 as needed.

[0082] In some embodiments, if the snore treatment device 100 is only used for exhalation training, the intake cross-sectional area can be set to be smaller than the outlet cross-sectional area. This can enable the exhaled air flow to quickly fill the first chamber 101 and rapidly increase the pressure in the first chamber 101, improving the vibration efficiency. At the same time, the relatively large outlet cross-sectional area can quickly discharge the gas in the first chamber 101, preventing the gas from staying in the first chamber 101 and causing eddy currents, which may affect the reciprocating swing of the swing arm 31.

[0083] In some embodiments, if the snore treatment device 100 is only used for inhalation training, the intake cross-sectional area can be set to be larger than the outlet cross-sectional area, which helps the external atmospheric pressure to quickly supplement the air flow into the first chamber 101 during inhalation, ensuring a stable pressure difference is formed between the first chamber 101 and the first chamber 101, and enabling the switching valve 32 to switch stably.

[0084] In some embodiments, if the snore treatment device 100 is used for both exhalation training and inhalation training, the intake cross-sectional area can be set to be equal to the outlet cross-sectional area, but it can also be set to have unequal areas. The size relationship between the outlet cross-sectional area and the intake cross-sectional area does not affect the basic function of the snore treatment device 100 provided in this embodiment.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 2, in some embodiments, the snoring treatment device 100 further includes a resistance unit 4. The resistance unit 4 includes a first magnetic member 41 and a second magnetic member 42. The first magnetic member 41 is disposed at the second end of the swing arm 31, and the second magnetic member 42 is disposed opposite to the first magnetic member 41 within the housing 1. The magnetic force between the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 can be preset, so that the switching valve 32 is reset into the through hole 20 and the through hole 20 is closed by the magnetic attraction between the two. At the same time, a certain training resistance can be provided. That is, the user needs to provide a larger working air flow to open the switching valve 32, so as to achieve a better effect of exercising the expiratory muscles or inspiratory muscles. Set the suction force between the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 as F1, the rebounding force provided by the resistance arm of the swing arm 31 as F2, and the gravity of the swing arm 31 itself as F3. The torques acting on the swing arm 31 by the suction force F1, the rebounding force F2, and the gravity F3 are M1, M2, and M3 respectively. Then, during the resetting process of the switching valve 32, it is always M1 + M2 > M3 to ensure the smooth resetting of the switching valve 32. The frequency of the vibration sound wave can be adjusted by adjusting the gravity of the swing arm 31 and the resistance of the resistance unit 4.

[0086] When the working air flow is provided by the oral cavity, the frequency range of the vibration sound wave is 20 - 110 Hz. The vibration sound wave within this frequency range will cause obvious vibrations in the pharynx and the root of the tongue, and has a relatively obvious therapeutic effect on apnea or snoring caused by oral breathing; when the working air flow is provided by the nasal cavity, the frequency range of the vibration sound wave is 90 - 210 Hz. The vibration sound wave within this frequency range will cause obvious vibrations in the nasopharynx, and has an obvious therapeutic effect on apnea or snoring caused by weakness of the nasal muscle group or adenoid hypertrophy.

[0087] In some embodiments, during exhalation, the periodic pressure change range of the first chamber 101 is 0 - 90 cmH2O; during inhalation, the periodic pressure change range of the first chamber 101 is -90 - 0 cmH2O. This pressure change range can make the relevant muscle groups vibrate more obviously, so as to achieve the technical effect of the present application.

[0088] In some embodiments, by adjusting the resistance of the switching valve 32, during exhalation, the frequency of the pressure change of the first chamber 101 is 20 - 300 Hz; during inhalation, the frequency of the pressure change of the first chamber 101 is 20 - 300 Hz, so that the relevant muscle groups vibrate at a preset frequency, achieving a better therapeutic and exercise effect.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the expiratory flow rate is constant, the smaller the volume of the first chamber 101, the greater the pressure in the first chamber 101. In other words, the smaller the volume of the first chamber 101, the shorter the time taken to reach the same pressure when the expiratory flow rate is constant. Therefore, when the snore treatment device 100 generates vibration sound waves only through exhalation, setting the volume range of the first chamber 101 to 5 - 25 cm 3 can make the pressure change in the first chamber 101 proceed at a set frequency, ensuring frequency stability.

[0090] In some embodiments, when the inspiratory flow rate is constant, the smaller the volume of the second chamber 102, the greater the pressure in the second chamber 102. In other words, the smaller the volume of the second chamber 102, the shorter the time taken to reach the same pressure when the inspiratory flow rate is constant. Therefore, when the snore treatment device 100 generates vibration sound waves only through inhalation, setting the volume range of the second chamber 102 to 5 - 25 cm 3 can make the pressure change in the second chamber 102 proceed at a set frequency, ensuring frequency stability.

[0091] In some embodiments, when the snore treatment device 100 is adapted to generate vibration sound waves through both exhalation and inhalation, considering the above - mentioned cases of using only exhalation and only inhalation separately, the volume range of the first chamber 101 can be set to 5 cm 3 ~25 cm 3 and the volume range of the second chamber 102 can be set to 5 cm 3 ~25 cm 3 .

[0092] Please refer to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the housing 1 includes a main body check valve 163. The main body check valve 163 is disposed between the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102, for example, disposed on the partition plate 2 or the support wall 16 of the housing 1, to assist in air exchange.

[0093] In this embodiment, the main body check valve 163 includes a valve flap 1631 and a stop member 1632. The valve flap 1631 is on the side close to the first chamber 101, and the stop member 1632 is on the side close to the second chamber 102, and is provided with a plurality of air exchange holes 16320.

[0094] Specifically, when the user exhales at the air inlet end 11 and needs to change the air (inhale), the user can directly inhale without removing the anti-snoring device 100. When inhaling, the air pressure in the first chamber 101 decreases, and the air pressure in the second chamber 102 is greater than that in the first chamber 101, causing the switch valve 32 to close. Due to the existence of the main body check valve 163, the pressure difference between the second chamber 102 and the first chamber 101 acts on the valve piece 1631 through the air exchange hole 16320, causing the valve piece 1631 to open. In this way, the user can simultaneously change the air through the oral cavity or nasal cavity via the air inlet end 11, and can quickly supplement oxygen.

[0095] When the user inhales at the air outlet end 12 and needs to change the air (exhale), the user can directly exhale without removing the anti-snoring device 100. When exhaling, the pressure in the second chamber 102 increases, causing the switch valve 32 to close, and the pressure in the second chamber 102 is greater than that in the first chamber 101. Due to the existence of the main body check valve 163, the pressure difference between the second chamber 102 and the first chamber 101 acts on the valve piece 1631 through the air exchange hole 16320, causing the valve piece 1631 to open. In this way, the user can simultaneously change the air through the oral cavity or nasal cavity, exhale carbon dioxide, improve the efficiency of discharging carbon dioxide, and avoid problems such as dizziness and decreased metabolic efficiency caused by excessive retention of carbon dioxide in the body.

[0096] The stop member 1632 can be of any shape, mainly depending on its position and the shape of the cross-section of the first chamber 101. Please refer to Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the stop member 1632 is semi-circular. The stop member 1632 is assembled to the support wall 16 through the assembly hole 16321. Other connection methods can also be used, and the connection method is not limited.

[0097] The valve piece 1631 includes a sheet body 16310 and a connecting portion 16311. The connecting portion 16311 is used to connect to the stop member 1632 and is connected to the side of the stop member 1632 close to the first chamber 101. The connection method is not limited.

[0098] In other embodiments, the valve piece 1631 can also be provided with a plurality of notches 16312, and each notch 16312 is provided on the periphery of the valve piece 1631. From the front projection, the notch 16312 is arranged between two adjacent air exchange holes 16320 on the outermost side of the valve piece 1631. When the valve piece 1631 is subjected to air flow pressure through the air exchange hole 16320, the valve piece 1631 will open. Since the resistance to the opening of the valve piece 1631 mainly comes from its own gravity and air resistance, the notch 16312 can effectively reduce the weight and air resistance of the valve piece 1631, reduce the resistance to the opening of the valve piece 1631, make it easier to open, and facilitate rapid air change.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 1 andFigure 5 In this embodiment, the snoring treatment device 100 further includes a mouthpiece 5. The mouthpiece 5 is adapted to the air inlet end 11 for exhalation, or is adapted to the air outlet end 12 for inhalation, or is adapted to both the air inlet end 11 for exhalation and the air outlet end 12 for inhalation.

[0100] The mouthpiece 5 fits better to the shape of the oral cavity and is suitable for biting. It can be made of silicone material and can assist the user to use the snoring treatment device 100 by mouth exhalation or mouth inhalation. When exhaling, the mouthpiece 5 is connected to the air inlet end 11. When inhaling, the mouthpiece 5 is connected to the air outlet end 12. The structure of the mouthpiece 5 can be adapted according to the devices with different functions, and at the same time, the structure of the air inlet end 11 or the air outlet end 12 should also be considered, so as to be adapted to different air inlet ends 11 or air outlet ends 12. The mouthpiece 5 can be adapted only to the air inlet end 11 and is only used to provide exhaled air flow, or can be adapted only to the air outlet end 12 and is only used to provide inhaled air flow. It can also be adapted to both the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12, so that the user can arbitrarily choose to train in the way of exhalation or inhalation.

[0101] In this embodiment, the mouthpiece 5 is provided with a first positioning portion 50, and the housing 1 is provided with a second positioning portion 18 at the air outlet end 12 or the air inlet end 11. The second positioning portion 18 is used to cooperate with the first positioning portion 50 to stably connect the mouthpiece 5 and the housing 1 and prevent relative movement of the first positioning portion 50 and the whole mouthpiece 5 relative to the housing 1 in the circumferential direction.

[0102] The first positioning portion 50 can be a positioning groove. The second positioning portion 18 can be a positioning post. The two can be interchanged or other structures can be adopted. In the following figures, the first positioning portion 50 is taken as a positioning groove and the second positioning portion 18 is taken as a positioning post for illustration.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 7 , taking the air inlet end 11 as an example. The housing 1 is provided with a second positioning portion 18 at the air inlet end 11. In this embodiment, the number of the second positioning portions 18 is two, and the two second positioning portions 18 are arranged oppositely. In some embodiments, at the air outlet end 12 of the housing 1, one or more second positioning portions 18 can also be provided. In this way, the mouthpiece 5 can freely choose to be connected to the air outlet end 12 or the air inlet end 11.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 6 , and the mouthpiece 5 is correspondingly provided with two first positioning portions 50.

[0105] Please refer to Figure 8, in some embodiments, the positioning post and the positioning groove are in interference fit; the nozzle 5' includes an inner wall 513, the positioning groove is formed in the inner wall 513, and the groove bottom surface 514 where the positioning groove is located extends outward relative to the inner wall 513. For example, the length range of the groove bottom surface 514 extending outward relative to the inner wall 513 is 0.5 mm to 2 mm.

[0106] The interference fit can prevent relative axial movement and detachment of the nozzle 5 and the housing 1 at the connection end due to shaking during use.

[0107] Since the positioning groove is recessed relative to the inner wall 513, the wall thickness of this part of the inner wall 513 is thinner than that of other walls. When the positioning post and the positioning groove are in interference fit, the positioning post expands outward. Due to the relatively thin wall thickness of the groove bottom surface 514 of the positioning groove, under the same interference amount, the deformation amount of the thinner part is larger, causing the thinner part to shrink inward relative to the thicker part, as Figure 9 shown in region A, reducing the contact area between the groove bottom surface 514 and the housing 1, which may lead to air leakage and affect the use effect. Therefore, the groove bottom surface 514 where the positioning groove is located can be extended outward relative to the inner wall 513. In this way, when the nozzle 5 is sleeved onto the bottom of the connection end, the positioning groove shrinks inward for compensation, enabling the thinner and thicker parts to be sleeved onto the bottom of the connection end substantially flush, ensuring that the contact areas of the nozzle 5 and the connection end are equal, as Figure 10 shown in region B of, thus ensuring the sealing effect.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 11 , in another embodiment, the present application embodiment also provides a nozzle 6, the nozzle 6 has a free end 63 and a stepped connection portion 64, and the stepped connection portion 64 is used to connect with the housing 1; the stepped connection portion 64 includes a first peripheral wall 61 and a second peripheral wall 62, the first peripheral wall 61 is closer to the free end 63 than the second peripheral wall 62, and the inner diameter of the first peripheral wall 61 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second peripheral wall 62.

[0109] The first peripheral wall 61 is used for airtight connection with the smaller one of the outer diameters of the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12, and the second peripheral wall 62 is used for airtight connection with the larger one of the outer diameters of the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12. Specifically, if among the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12, the outer diameter of the air inlet end 11 is smaller, then the first peripheral wall 61 is adapted to the air inlet end 11 and the second peripheral wall 62 is adapted to the air outlet end 12; if among the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12, the outer diameter of the air outlet end 12 is smaller, then the first peripheral wall 61 is adapted to the air outlet end 12 and the second peripheral wall 62 is adapted to the air inlet end 11. It mainly depends on how the outer diameters of the housing 1 on both sides of the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12 are designed, and accordingly it is connected to the nozzle 6.

[0110] In this embodiment, the mouthpiece 6 can be connected to either the air inlet end 11 or the air outlet end 12. One end of the mouthpiece 6 is directly connected to the housing 1, and the other end is directly the inlet. The mouthpiece 6 is in the shape of a hollow tube. In order to be able to connect to both ends of the anti-snoring device 100, the inner diameter of the hollow tube of the mouthpiece 6 is not the same everywhere, but there are steps. Correspondingly, the outer diameters of the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 of the housing 1 are also adapted accordingly.

[0111] In other embodiments, the mouthpiece 6 provided in this embodiment can be connected to the air inlet end 11 or the air outlet end 12 in a screwed manner, as long as airtightness can be achieved.

[0112] In this embodiment, the first peripheral wall 61 of the mouthpiece 6 is provided with a first positioning portion 50, specifically a positioning groove. The housing 1 is provided with a positioning post at the air inlet end 11, and the outer diameter of the air inlet end 11 is smaller. The first peripheral wall 61 is sleeved on the air inlet end 11. The positioning post and the positioning groove are inserted into each other. Here, the structures and functions of the positioning groove and the positioning post are the same as those of the positioning groove and the positioning post provided in the previous embodiment. The housing 1 has no positioning post at the air outlet end 12, and the outer diameter of the air outlet end 12 is larger. Therefore, when the mouthpiece 6 is sleeved on the air outlet end 12, it is the second peripheral wall 61 that is sleeved on the air outlet end 12.

[0113] In other embodiments, it can also be that the housing 1 is not provided with a second positioning portion 18, and correspondingly, the mouthpiece is not provided with a first positioning portion 50, and the two can be directly sleeved.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 12 , in one embodiment, the air outlet 14 is provided with a ventilation cover 17. The size of the ventilation cover 17 matches the inner diameter of the air outlet 14. The ventilation cover 17 is provided with ventilation holes, which is beneficial for exhaust. Compared with the housing 1 in Figure 2 , the length of the air inlet end 11 is significantly shortened, making it more portable.

[0115] Please refer to Figure 13 , in another embodiment, in addition to setting a ventilation cover 17 at the air outlet 14, a similar ventilation cover 17 can also be set at the air inlet 13.

[0116] Please refer to Figure 14 , in still another embodiment, the ventilation covers 17 at both the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are cancelled. In this way, the air inlet cross-sectional area and the air outlet cross-sectional area can each be maximized, improving the efficiency of exhalation and inhalation. At the same time, the overall weight of the device can also be reduced, making it convenient to carry.

[0117] Please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 , the anti-snoring device 100 provided in this embodiment further includes a cover body 7. The cover body 7 is connected to the housing 1, and the cover body 7 is adapted to the user's mouth or / and nose to provide training air flow.

[0118] The cover body 7 can be a face mask that covers the user's mouth. The cover body 7 can be a nose mask that covers the user's nose. The cover body 7 can be a mouth-nose mask that covers both the user's mouth and nose simultaneously. The cover body 7 can replace the mouthpiece 5 to provide the training airflow.

[0119] In this embodiment, one end of the cover body 7 is a sealing surface 70, and the other end is a connecting portion 71.

[0120] The sealing surface 70 is made of a soft material such as silicone, TPU, etc., and is mainly used to seal the nasal cavity or oral cavity. The connecting portion 71 can be connected to the air inlet end 11 of the housing 1. By setting different shapes of the sealing surface 70, it can fit and seal with the oral cavity, nasal cavity, or both. For example, the shape of the sealing surface 70 can be selected as nearly triangular to conform to the contour of the human nasal cavity or oral cavity. When the cover body 7 covers the nasal cavity, the training airflow can be provided by the nose. Compared with providing the training airflow through the mouth, it can better exercise the nasal muscle group, adenoid, open the sinus passage, and exercise the expiratory and inspiratory muscles. Moreover, compared with continuously holding the mouthpiece 5, the cover body 7 has higher comfort and is clean and easy to clean.

[0121] The connecting portion 71 is provided with a first inner cavity 710, and the first inner cavity 710 is provided with a positioning groove 711, so that it can be connected to the air inlet end 11 or the air outlet end 12 provided with a positioning post.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 17 , in the same connection manner as the mouthpiece 5. In another embodiment, the connecting portion 71' is provided with a first peripheral wall 721 and a second peripheral wall 722 directly connected to the first peripheral wall 721 to form a stepped connecting portion. The second peripheral wall 722 is closer to the free end where the non-sealing surface of the cover body 7 is located. The inner diameter of the first peripheral wall 721 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second peripheral wall 722. The first peripheral wall 721 is used to connect to the one with a smaller inner diameter among the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12, while the second peripheral wall 722 is used to connect to the one with a larger inner diameter among the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12. In this way, the same cover body 7 can be connected to both the air outlet end 12 and the air inlet end 11, which is applicable to the situation where the outer diameters of the air inlet end 11 and the air outlet end 12 of the housing 1 are different.

[0123] Wear the nose mask and exhale through the nose mask, then inhale through the mouth. When inhaling through the nose mask, exhale through the mouth.

[0124] Wear the face mask and exhale through the face mask, then inhale through the nose. When inhaling through the face mask, exhale through the nose.

[0125] When exhaling while wearing the mouth-nose mask, you can freely choose to inhale through the mouth or nose. When inhaling through the mouth-nose mask, you can freely choose to exhale through the mouth or nose. The specific breathing mode is selected according to the training needs.

[0126] Please refer toFigures 18 to 23 , in some embodiments, the cover body 7 includes a cover main body 75, an inhalation one-way valve 73, and / or an exhalation one-way valve 74. The inhalation one-way valve 73 is disposed on the cover main body 75 to assist inhalation, and the exhalation one-way valve 74 is disposed on the cover main body 75 to assist exhalation.

[0127] The cover main body 75 refers to a cover-type structure, and an inhalation one-way valve 73 or an exhalation one-way valve 74 can be provided, or both an inhalation one-way valve 73 and an exhalation one-way valve 74 are provided. Among them, the number of various types of one-way valves is not limited.

[0128] Please refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 , the inhalation one-way valve 73 is disposed on the cover main body 75. The inhalation one-way valve 73 includes a valve flap 730 and a stopper 731. The valve flap 730 is disposed below the stopper 731 and close to the sealing surface 70. During exhalation, the valve flap 730 is blocked by the stopper 731 to play a sealing role. During inhalation, the valve flap 730 can be opened to assist inhalation. When exhaling through the cover body 7, the inhalation one-way valve 73 is closed; due to the existence of the inhalation one-way valve 73, the user can inhale through the cover body 7. During inhalation, the inhalation one-way valve 73 is opened and provides an inhalation airflow in the opposite direction to the exhalation airflow direction, so that it is not necessary to remove the cover body 7 during inhalation and inhalation can be directly performed. For example, if nasal exhalation is performed using the cover body 7, it is not necessary to remove the cover body 7 and direct nasal inhalation can be performed. If oral exhalation is performed using the cover body 7, it is not necessary to remove the cover body 7 and direct oral inhalation can be performed, or natural nasal inhalation can also be performed. Thereby, the ventilation efficiency is improved and the training efficiency is improved.

[0129] Please refer to Figure 20 and Figure 21 , the exhalation one-way valve 74 is disposed on the cover main body 75. The exhalation one-way valve 74 includes a valve flap 740 and a stopper 741. The valve flap 740 is disposed above the stopper 741. During inhalation, the valve flap 740 is blocked by the stopper 741 to play a sealing role. During exhalation, the valve flap 740 can be opened to assist exhalation. When inhaling through the cover body 7, the exhalation one-way valve 74 is closed; due to the existence of the exhalation one-way valve 74, the user can use the cover body 7 to exhale. During exhalation, the exhalation one-way valve 74 is opened and provides an exhalation airflow in the opposite direction to the inhalation airflow direction, so that it is not necessary to remove the cover body 7 during exhalation and direct exhalation can be performed. For example, if nasal inhalation is performed using the cover body 7, it is not necessary to remove the cover body 7 and direct nasal exhalation can be performed. If oral inhalation is performed using the cover body 7, it is not necessary to remove the cover body 7 and direct oral exhalation can be performed, or natural nasal exhalation can also be performed, thereby improving the ventilation efficiency, avoiding problems such as dizziness and decreased metabolic efficiency caused by excessive retention of carbon dioxide in the body, and improving the training efficiency.

[0130] Please refer to Figure 22 and Figure 23, the cover body 7 includes an inhalation one-way valve 73 and an exhalation one-way valve 74, and each one-way valve is provided with a sealing cover 76 for sealing the one-way valve. The advantage of such a setting is that the exhalation / inhalation training can be switched through one cover body 7, and the air exchange is convenient. When using the cover body 7 for nasal or oral inhalation training, seal the inhalation one-way valve 73 with the sealing cover 76 and open the sealing cover 76 of the exhalation one-way valve 74 to quickly exchange air. When using the cover body 7 for nasal or oral exhalation training, seal the exhalation one-way valve 74 with the sealing cover 76 and open the sealing cover 76 of the inhalation one-way valve 73 to quickly exchange air.

[0131] When the cover body 7 includes an inhalation one-way valve 73 and an exhalation one-way valve 74, the opening area of the inhalation one-way valve 73 is larger than that of the exhalation one-way valve 74, and the opening area of the inhalation one-way valve 73 is larger than 57 square millimeters, which can enable the user to quickly supplement oxygen. The average air intake area of a person is 40 square millimeters to 57 square millimeters, so such a setting can ensure the normal inhalation level of the user.

[0132] The number of the inhalation one-way valve 73 and the exhalation one-way valve 74 can also be set as required.

[0133] Please refer to Figure 24 , in some embodiments, the snoring treatment device 100 further includes a multi-functional joint 8, and the multi-functional joint 8 is used to connect the housing 1, the mouthpiece 5 / cover body 7 and the external device 9.

[0134] The multi-functional joint 8 can be a three-way joint, including a first interface 81, a second interface 82 and a third interface 83. The first interface 81 is used to connect the housing 1, specifically, it can be directly connected to the first cavity 101. The second interface 82 is used to connect the mouthpiece 5 or the cover body 7, and the third interface 83 is used to connect the external device 9. Thus, in addition to performing oral or / and nasal breathing training through the cover body 7, the purpose of expanding the training effect can also be achieved through the external device 9. For example, atomized drug delivery can be achieved by connecting to an atomizer, which can directly reach the lesion and is easy to absorb. For example, oxygen supply can be achieved by connecting to an oxygen supply device to avoid poor breathing and dizziness. The number of the external devices 9 can be one, one type, or multiple, multiple types, depending on actual needs.

[0135] Compared with the prior art, the patient using the snoring treatment device 100 provided by the present application can relieve or treat the snoring problems caused by oral muscle groups, nasal muscle groups and adenoid hypertrophy.

[0136] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present application, and should all be included in the protection scope of the present application.
