[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the process of treating snoring of a patient through the treatment component of the present invention, the sensor vibration mechanism in the treatment component can contact the skin of the neck. During the movement of the patient, the neck will squeeze the sensor vibration mechanism. The second spring in the slide tube supports the sliding rod, so that the sliding rod drives the sensor vibration mechanism to move through the outer baffle, so that the sensor vibration mechanism can fully fit the skin of the neck. Because the human neck is relatively flexible and does not move in a regular arc, when the neck squeezes the sensor vibration mechanism, the sensor vibration mechanism will drive the sliding rod to deflect through the outer baffle. The sliding rod drives the strong rubber ball to move in the ball groove through the sliding cylinder. The ball groove and the strong rubber ball can deflect at any angle. Therefore, the sensing vibration mechanism can adaptively adjust the position and angle according to the activity state of the patient's neck. The second spring supports the sensing vibration mechanism through the sliding rod and the outer baffle, and the first spring elastically supports both sides of the outer baffle. This allows the sensing vibration mechanism to fit closely to the skin of the neck, preventing the sensing vibration mechanism from being out of contact with the monitored area and affecting the monitoring and treatment effects, thereby ensuring the practical application effect of the snoring treatment device. 2. The present invention sleeves the therapeutic device onto the patient's neck, so that the upper tightening belt is located on the head and the lower tightening belt is located on the neck. The strength of the tightening belt is adjusted by adjusting the buckle, so that the two tightening belts are close to the head and the neck, thereby improving the wearing stability and preventing the device from slipping. Due to the different neck lengths of different patients, when adjusting the height of the sliding seat and the therapeutic component, the handle is rotated forward to drive the screw rod to rotate. During the process of the screw rod rotating outside the nut, the screw rod can drive the sliding seat to slide in the sliding hole through the bearing. Because the screw rod and the sliding seat are connected by the bearing, the sliding seat will not rotate on its own during the rotation of the screw rod. At the same time, the sliding seat drives the limiting rods on both sides to slide on the outside of the supporting neck support, which plays a role in limiting the sliding seat, thereby improving the stability of the vertical movement of the therapeutic component driven by the sliding seat, and facilitating the adjustment of the height of the therapeutic component to make it located at the monitoring site, thereby improving the therapeutic effect. The present invention can adjust the position of the treatment component laterally by holding the handle and pulling it downward, so that the handle drives the clamping rod to move downward in the sliding sleeve, so that the clamping rod moves downward and disengages from the clamping slot, so that the laterally adjusting seat and the treatment component are in a free movable state in the sliding hole, and then pushing the handle to drive the laterally adjusting seat to slide laterally in the sliding hole, and at the same time the laterally adjusting seat will drive the two sliders to slide in the two slideways, and the sliders are supported and limited by the slideways, thereby improving the stability of the laterally adjusting seat to drive the treatment component to move, and the slideways are arc-shaped, so that the treatment component can move at the edge of the inner wall of the supporting neck support, so that the treatment component can effectively contact the neck skin, after adjusting the treatment component to a suitable monitoring position, releasing the handle, and the tension of the third spring drives the handle to move upward, and the handle drives the clamping rod to move upward and snap into the clamping slot, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the position of the laterally adjusting seat and the treatment component, thereby improving the stability of the treatment work, and facilitating the adjustment of the laterally position of the treatment component for treatment; 4. When the snoring treatment device of the present invention is activated to treat a patient, two microelectrodes in the hypoglossal nerve stimulation assembly are attached to the patient's sublingual area, generating electrical pulse signals to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve, prompting tongue muscle contraction. The sensing and vibration mechanism comprises a sound sensor, a pressure sensor, an accelerometer, and a vibration motor assembly. The sound sensor, pressure sensor, and accelerometer are used to monitor snoring, changes in sleeping posture, and breathing in real time. The vibration motor assembly includes an adjustable vibration output system that generates vibrations based on feedback from the sound sensor, pressure sensor, and accelerometer. The control module has an embedded microprocessor and wireless communication module for receiving data from the treatment assembly and adjusting parameters of the sensing and vibration mechanism and the hypoglossal nerve stimulation assembly according to a set program. A button operation interface is provided on the outside of the control module to adjust treatment parameters based on individual comfort. By combining intelligent sensing technology, vibration regulation, and hypoglossal nerve stimulation technology, multiple treatment mechanisms can work synergistically to improve treatment effectiveness.

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 , the present invention provides a technical solution: A wearable snoring treatment device includes a supporting neck collar 1, a treatment component 7 is provided on the inner side of the supporting neck collar 1, and the treatment component 7 includes an outer baffle 701. Two first springs 703 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer baffle 701, and the other ends of the two first springs 703 are fixed to the inner side of the lateral adjustment seat 10. A sensing vibration mechanism 702 is installed on the inner side of the outer baffle 701. The sensing vibration mechanism 702 is composed of a sound sensor, a pressure sensor, an acceleration sensor and a vibration motor assembly. The sound sensor, pressure sensor and acceleration sensor are used to monitor snoring, changes in sleeping posture and breathing conditions in real time. The vibration motor assembly includes an adjustable vibration output system, which generates vibration according to feedback from the sound sensor, pressure sensor and acceleration sensor. The first springs 703 elastically support both sides of the outer baffle 701, so that the sensing vibration mechanism 702 can closely fit the skin of the neck, preventing the sensing vibration mechanism 702 from being out of contact with the monitored part and affecting the monitoring and treatment effects.

[0020] The support collar 1 has a through hole 2, into which a sliding seat 3 is mounted. Two sides of the sliding seat 3 are fixedly connected to limit rods 14, the top ends of which extend through and slide on the outside of the support collar 1. The sliding seat 3 drives the limit rods 14 on both sides to slide outside the support collar 1, thereby limiting the position of the sliding seat 3.

[0021] An adjustment component 4 is provided in the middle of the sliding seat 3, and the adjustment component 4 is installed on the outside of the supporting neck bracket 1. The adjustment component 4 includes a screw rod 401, and a bearing 402 is installed at the bottom end of the screw rod 401. The bearing 402 is clamped on the sliding seat 3. The screw rod 401 is externally threaded and connected to a nut 403. The nut 403 is clamped at the extension of the outside of the supporting neck bracket 1. The top end of the screw rod 401 passes through the nut 403 and is fixedly connected to a turning handle 404.

[0022] A sliding hole 5 is provided in the sliding seat 3, and slideways 6 are provided at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the sliding hole 5 respectively. Sliders 11 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the transverse adjustment seat 10 respectively, and the slider 11 is slidably connected in the slideway 6, and the slideway 6, the transverse adjustment seat 10 and the sliding hole 5 are all arc-shaped.

[0023] A ball groove 9 is provided on the side of the lateral adjustment seat 10 close to the treatment component 7, and the end of the support component 8 is clamped in the ball groove 9. The support component 8 includes a strong rubber ball 801, which is clamped in the ball groove 9. The strong rubber ball 801 is fixedly connected to a slide 802 on the side away from the lateral adjustment seat 10, and a sliding rod 804 is slidably connected in the slide 802. The other end of the sliding rod 804 is fixed to the outer side of the outer baffle 701, and the other end of the sliding rod 804 is fixedly connected to the second spring 803, and the end of the second spring 803 is fixed to the inner side of the slide 802.

[0024] A locking assembly 12 is mounted on one side of the transverse adjustment seat 10. Several slots 13 are defined below the outer side of the sliding seat 3, corresponding to the positions of the locking assembly 12. The top end of the locking assembly 12 engages within one of the slots 13. The locking assembly 12 includes a lever 121, the top of which engages within the slot 13. A sleeve 122 is attached to the outer side of the lever 121. The sleeve 122 engages the outer side of the transverse adjustment seat 10. The bottom end of the lever 121 passes through the sleeve 122 and is fixedly connected to a handle 123. A third spring 124 is fixedly connected between the handle 123 and the lower side of the outer side of the transverse adjustment seat 10. The third spring 124 is sleeved around the outside of the lever 121.

[0025] By rotating the handle 404 forward to drive the screw rod 401 to rotate, the screw rod 401 can drive the sliding seat 3 to slide in the sliding hole 5 through the bearing 402 during the rotation of the nut 403. Since the screw rod 401 and the sliding seat 3 are connected through the bearing 402, the sliding seat 3 will not rotate on its own during the rotation of the screw rod 401, so that the screw rod 401 can drive the horizontal adjustment seat 10 and the treatment component 7 to move upward through the bearing 402, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the treatment component 7 to be located at the monitoring position.

[0026] The pull of the third spring 124 drives the handle 123 upward, which in turn drives the latching rod 121 upward and engages the latching slot 13, thereby locking the position of the transverse adjustment seat 10 and the treatment assembly 7, thereby improving the stability of the treatment. Pushing the locking assembly 12 drives the transverse adjustment seat 10 to slide transversely in the slide hole 5. Simultaneously, the transverse adjustment seat 10 drives the two sliders 11 to slide in the two slideways 6. The slideways 6 support and limit the sliders 11, thereby improving the stability of the transverse adjustment seat 10 in driving the treatment assembly 7. The arc-shaped slideways 6 enable the treatment assembly 7 to move along the edge of the inner wall of the support cervical collar 1, allowing the treatment assembly 7 to effectively contact the skin of the neck.

[0027] The second spring 803 in the slide 802 supports the sliding rod 804, allowing the sliding rod 804 to drive the sensing vibration mechanism 702 to move through the outer baffle 701, so that the sensing vibration mechanism 702 can fully fit the skin of the neck. When the neck squeezes the sensing vibration mechanism 702, the sensing vibration mechanism 702 will drive the sliding rod 804 to deflect through the outer baffle 701. The sliding rod 804 then drives the super rubber ball 801 to move in the ball groove 9 through the slide 802. The ball groove 9 and the super rubber ball 801 can deflect at any angle. Therefore, the sensing vibration mechanism 702 can adaptively adjust its position and angle according to the activity state of the patient's neck. As a further embodiment of the present invention, a hypoglossal nerve stimulation assembly 15 is mounted on one side of the top of the support collar 1, and an extension plate 16 is mounted on the bottom of the support collar 1. A tightening strap 17 is mounted on one side of the support collar 1 and the extension plate 16, respectively, and an adjustment buckle 18 is mounted on the tightening strap 17. The therapeutic device is placed on the patient's neck, with the upper tightening strap 17 positioned on the head and the lower tightening strap 17 positioned on the neck. The adjustment buckle 18 is then used to adjust the strength of the tightening straps 17 so that the two tightening straps 17 are in close contact with the head and neck, thereby improving the stability of the wearer and preventing the device from slipping.

[0028] As a further solution of the present invention, the hypoglossal nerve stimulation component 15 includes a wiring base 151, which is installed on one side of the top of the supporting neck collar 1. The connecting wire on the wiring base 151 is installed with two insulated wires 152, and the end of the insulated wire 152 is installed with a microelectrode 153. The microelectrode 153 is used to be attached to the patient's sublingual area to generate an electrical pulse signal to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve and promote the contraction of the tongue muscles.

[0029] As a further solution of the present invention, the extension plate 16 is designed to be arc-shaped, and a control module 19 is installed on the outside of the extension plate 16. The control module 19 has an embedded microprocessor and a wireless communication module for receiving data from the treatment component 7 and adjusting the parameters of the sensing vibration mechanism 702 and the hypoglossal nerve stimulation component 15 according to the set program. A button operation interface is used on the outside of the control module 19 to adjust the treatment parameters according to personal comfort. By combining intelligent sensing technology, vibration adjustment and hypoglossal nerve stimulation technology, multiple treatment mechanisms can work synergistically to improve the treatment effect.

[0030] Working principle of the present invention: By putting the treatment device on the patient's neck, the upper tightening belt 17 is located on the head and the lower tightening belt 17 is located on the neck. Then, the strength of the tightening belt 17 is adjusted by adjusting the buckle 18 so that the two tightening belts 17 are close to the head and neck, thereby improving the wearing stability and preventing the device from slipping off, because the neck lengths of different patients are different.

[0031] When adjusting the height of the sliding seat 3 and the treatment component 7, the handle 404 is rotated forward to drive the screw rod 401 to rotate. During the rotation of the screw rod 401 outside the nut 403, the sliding seat 3 can be driven to slide in the sliding hole 5 through the bearing 402. Because the screw rod 401 and the sliding seat 3 are connected through the bearing 402, the sliding seat 3 will not rotate during the rotation of the screw rod 401. At the same time, the sliding seat 3 drives the limiting rods 14 on both sides to slide on the outside of the supporting neck support 1, which plays a role in limiting the sliding seat 3, improving the stability of the vertical movement of the treatment component 7 driven by the sliding seat 3, and facilitating the adjustment of the height of the treatment component 7 so that it is located at the monitoring position, thereby improving the treatment effect.

[0032] When adjusting the position of the treatment component 7 laterally, hold the handle 123 and pull it downward, so that the handle 123 drives the clamping rod 121 to move downward in the sliding sleeve 122, so that the clamping rod 121 moves downward and disengages from the clamping slot 13, so that the transverse adjustment seat 10 and the treatment component 7 are in a free movable state in the sliding hole 5, and then push the handle 123 to drive the transverse adjustment seat 10 to slide laterally in the sliding hole 5; at the same time, the transverse adjustment seat 10 will drive the two sliders 11 to slide in the two slides 6, and the sliders 11 are supported and limited by the slides 6, thereby improving the stability of the transverse adjustment seat 10 driving the treatment component 7 to move, and the slide 6 is designed to be arc-shaped, so that the treatment component 7 can move at the edge of the inner wall of the supporting neck support 1, so that the treatment component 7 can effectively contact the skin of the neck.

[0033] After adjusting the treatment component 7 to a suitable monitoring position, release the handle 123, and the handle 123 is driven to move upward by the pulling force of the third spring 124. The handle 123 then drives the clamping rod 121 to move upward and engage in the clamping slot 13, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the position of the lateral adjustment seat 10 and the treatment component 7, thereby improving the stability of the treatment work and facilitating the adjustment of the lateral position of the treatment component 7 for treatment.

[0034] During the process of treating snoring of the patient through the treatment component 7, the sensing vibration mechanism 702 in the treatment component 7 can contact the skin at the neck. During the patient's activities, the neck will squeeze the sensing vibration mechanism 702. The second spring 803 in the slide cylinder 802 supports the sliding rod 804, so that the sliding rod 804 drives the sensing vibration mechanism 702 to move through the outer baffle 701, so that the sensing vibration mechanism 702 can fully fit the skin at the neck. Because the human neck is relatively flexible and does not move in a regular arc, when the neck squeezes the sensing and vibrating mechanism 702, the sensing and vibrating mechanism 702 will drive the sliding rod 804 to deflect through the outer baffle 701, and the sliding rod 804 will drive the strong rubber ball 801 to move in the ball groove 9 through the slide cylinder 802. The ball groove 9 and the strong rubber ball 801 can deflect at any angle. Therefore, the sensing and vibrating mechanism 702 can adaptively adjust its position and angle according to the activity state of the patient's neck. With the second spring 803 supporting the sensing and vibrating mechanism 702 through the sliding rod 804 and the outer baffle 701, and the first spring 703 elastically supporting both sides of the outer baffle 701, the sensing and vibrating mechanism 702 can fit closely to the skin of the neck, preventing the sensing and vibrating mechanism 702 from being out of contact with the monitored part and affecting the monitoring and treatment effects, thereby ensuring the actual application effect of the snoring treatment device.

[0035] When the snoring treatment device is activated to treat a patient, the two microelectrodes 153 in the hypoglossal nerve stimulation assembly 15 are attached to the patient's sublingual area, generating electrical pulses to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve and induce tongue muscle contraction. The sensing and vibration mechanism 702 comprises a sound sensor, a pressure sensor, an accelerometer, and a vibration motor assembly. The sound sensor, pressure sensor, and accelerometer are used to monitor snoring, changes in sleeping posture, and breathing in real time. The vibration motor assembly includes an adjustable vibration output system that generates vibrations based on feedback from the sound sensor, pressure sensor, and accelerometer. The control module 19 has an embedded microprocessor and wireless communication module for receiving data from the treatment assembly 7 and adjusting the parameters of the sensing and vibration mechanism 702 and the hypoglossal nerve stimulation assembly 15 according to a set program. A button-operated interface is provided on the outside of the control module 19 to adjust the treatment parameters based on individual comfort. By combining intelligent sensing technology, vibration regulation, and hypoglossal nerve stimulation technology, multiple treatment mechanisms can work synergistically to improve treatment effectiveness.
