A wearable snoring treatment device

Abstract

This invention discloses a wearable snoring treatment device, belonging to the field of snoring treatment technology. During patient movement, the neck compresses the sensing vibration mechanism. A second spring supports the sliding rod, allowing the sensing vibration mechanism to fully conform to the skin of the neck. Because the human neck is relatively flexible and does not move in a regular arc, during the compression of the sensing vibration mechanism by the neck, the sliding rod drives a strong rubber ball to move within a ball groove via a sliding cylinder. This allows the sensing vibration mechanism to adaptively adjust its position and angle according to the patient's neck movement. The second spring, along with the sliding rod and outer baffle supporting the sensing vibration mechanism, and the first spring providing elastic support to both sides of the outer baffle, ensures that the sensing vibration mechanism closely conforms to the neck skin, preventing non-contact between the sensing vibration mechanism and the monitoring area, which would affect the monitoring and treatment effect, thus guaranteeing the practical application effect of this snoring treatment device.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of snoring treatment technology, specifically a wearable snoring treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Snoring is a prevalent health problem worldwide, especially among the middle-aged and elderly, severely impacting their sleep quality and daily lives. With the development of smart technology, some wearable devices have been used to treat snoring. Existing smart devices generally activate vibration feedback or electrical stimulation therapy by monitoring sleep status. However, these devices generally suffer from low accuracy and delayed real-time response to snoring. Moreover, most devices fail to combine smart sensors to accurately analyze individual snoring characteristics, resulting in inaccurate optimization of treatment effects. Furthermore, during the wearing process, the sensors are prone to shifting position during patient activity, or even failing to make contact with the monitored area, which is difficult to detect during sleep, affecting the actual application effect of the device. Wearing the device too tightly can also affect patient comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wearable snoring treatment device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are that the devices fail to combine intelligent sensors to accurately analyze individual snoring characteristics, resulting in the inability to accurately optimize the treatment effect. Moreover, during the wearing of the device, the sensor is prone to shifting position during the patient's activities, or even failing to contact the monitoring area. This is difficult to detect during sleep, affecting the actual application effect of the device. Furthermore, if the device is worn too tightly, it will affect the patient's comfort.

[0004] The purpose of this invention is:

[0005] The sensing vibration mechanism can adaptively adjust its position and angle according to the patient's neck movement. The second spring supports the sensing vibration mechanism through the sliding rod and the outer baffle, while the first spring provides elastic support to both sides of the outer baffle. This ensures that the sensing vibration mechanism fits closely to the neck skin, preventing non-contact between the sensing vibration mechanism and the monitoring area, which would affect the monitoring and treatment effect and guarantee the actual application effect of the snoring treatment device.

[0006] The adjustment component moves the horizontal adjustment seat and the treatment component up and down, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the treatment component to position it at the monitoring site, thus improving the treatment effect;

[0007] The position of the lateral adjustment seat and the treatment component is locked by the locking component, thereby improving the stability of the treatment work and facilitating the adjustment of the lateral position of the treatment component for treatment.

[0008] The control module features a button interface on the outside, allowing users to adjust treatment parameters according to their personal comfort. By combining intelligent sensing technology, vibration adjustment, and hypoglossal nerve stimulation technology, multiple treatment mechanisms can work synergistically to improve treatment effectiveness.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0010] A wearable snoring treatment device includes a neck support with a through hole. A sliding seat is installed within the through hole. An adjustment component is located in the middle of the sliding seat and is installed on the outer side of the neck support. A sliding hole is formed in the sliding seat, and sliding tracks are formed at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the sliding hole. A treatment component is located on the inner side of the neck support. A support component is connected to the side of the treatment component near the sliding seat. A lateral adjustment seat is located on the side of the support component away from the treatment component and is slidably connected within the sliding hole. A ball groove is formed on the side of the lateral adjustment seat near the treatment component, and the end of the support component is engaged in the ball groove. A locking component is installed on one side of the lateral adjustment seat. Several slots are formed on the lower outer side of the sliding seat corresponding to the position of the locking component. The top of the locking component is engaged in one of the slots. A hypoglossal nerve stimulation component is installed on one side of the top of the neck support, and an extension plate is installed at the bottom of the neck support. A tightening strap is installed on one side of the neck support and the extension plate, and an adjustment buckle is installed on the tightening strap.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the top and bottom of the lateral adjustment seat are respectively fixedly connected to sliders, the sliders are slidably connected in the slide rail, and the slide rail, the lateral adjustment seat and the slide hole are all arc-shaped designs.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, limiting rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding seat, and the top end of the limiting rod slides through the extension of the neck support on the outside.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting assembly includes a lead screw, a bearing is mounted at the bottom end of the lead screw, the bearing is engaged with a sliding seat, a nut is externally threaded onto the lead screw, the nut is engaged with the extension of the support neck support on the outside, and a rotating handle is fixedly connected to the top end of the lead screw through the nut.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the treatment component includes an outer baffle, on the outer side of which two first springs are fixedly connected. The other ends of the two first springs are fixed to the inner side of the transverse adjustment seat, and one end of the support component is fixed to the outer side of the outer baffle. A sensing vibration mechanism is installed on the inner side of the outer baffle. The sensing vibration mechanism consists 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 in real time. The vibration motor assembly includes an adjustable vibration output system that generates vibration based on feedback from the sound sensor, pressure sensor, and acceleration sensor.

[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the support assembly includes a strong rubber ball, which is snapped into a slot. A slide cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the strong rubber ball away from the lateral adjustment seat. A slide rod is slidably connected inside the slide cylinder. The other end of the slide rod is fixed to the outside of the treatment assembly. A second spring is fixedly connected to the other end of the slide rod. The end of the second spring is fixed to the inside of the slide cylinder.

[0016] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the locking assembly includes a locking rod, the top end of which is engaged in a slot, a sliding sleeve is fitted over the locking rod, the sliding sleeve is engaged on the outside of the lateral adjustment seat, a handle is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the locking rod through the sliding sleeve, and a third spring is fixedly connected between the handle and the lower part of the outer side of the lateral adjustment seat, the third spring being sleeved on the outside of the locking rod.

[0017] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the hypoglossal nerve stimulation component includes a wiring base, which is installed on one side of the top of the neck brace. Two insulated wires are installed on the wiring base, and microelectrodes are installed at the ends of the insulated wires. The microelectrodes are used to attach to the patient's sublingual region to generate electrical pulse signals to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve and cause the tongue muscles to contract.

[0018] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the extension plate is arc-shaped, and a control module is installed on the outer side of the extension plate. The control module is embedded with a microprocessor and a wireless communication module, which is used to receive data from the treatment components and adjust the parameters of the sensing vibration mechanism and the hypoglossal nerve stimulation component according to the set program. The control module has a button operation interface on the outside, which allows the treatment parameters to be adjusted according to personal comfort.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] 1. In the treatment of snoring by the therapeutic component of this invention, the sensing vibration mechanism in the therapeutic component can contact the skin of the neck. During the patient's movement, the neck will squeeze the sensing vibration mechanism. The second spring in the slide cylinder supports the sliding rod, which moves the sensing vibration mechanism through the outer baffle. This allows the sensing vibration mechanism to fully conform to the skin of the neck. Because the human neck is relatively flexible and does not move in a regular arc, during the process of the neck squeezing the sensing vibration mechanism, the sensing vibration mechanism will deviate through the outer baffle, causing the sliding rod to move. The sliding rod drives the strong rubber ball to move within the ball groove via the sliding cylinder. The ball groove and the strong rubber ball can deflect at any angle. Therefore, the sensing vibration mechanism can adaptively adjust its position and angle according to the movement of the patient's neck. In conjunction with the second spring, the sensing vibration mechanism is supported by the sliding rod and the outer baffle, and the first spring provides elastic support to both sides of the outer baffle. This ensures that the sensing vibration mechanism can fit closely to the neck skin, preventing non-contact between the sensing vibration mechanism and the monitoring area, which would affect the monitoring and treatment effect, and ensuring the actual application effect of the snoring treatment device.

[0021] 2. This invention involves fitting the treatment device around the patient's neck, with the upper strap positioned at the head and the lower strap at the neck. The tension of the straps is adjusted using an adjustable buckle, ensuring they fit snugly against the head and neck, thus improving stability and preventing slippage. Since different patients have varying neck lengths, adjusting the height of the sliding seat and treatment component involves rotating the handle forward to rotate the lead screw. As the lead screw rotates outside the nut, it drives the sliding seat to slide within the sliding hole via a bearing. Because the lead screw and sliding seat are connected by a bearing, the sliding seat does not rotate during the lead screw's rotation. Simultaneously, the sliding seat causes the limiting rods on both sides to slide outside the neck brace, limiting the sliding seat's position and improving the stability of the vertical movement of the treatment component. This facilitates height adjustment of the treatment component to the monitoring area, thereby enhancing the treatment effect.

[0022] 3. In this invention, when adjusting the position of the treatment component laterally, the handle is held and pulled downwards, causing the handle to move the locking rod downwards within the sliding sleeve. This causes the locking rod to move downwards and disengage from the slot, allowing the lateral adjustment seat and treatment component to move freely within the sliding hole. Next, the handle is pushed to move the lateral adjustment seat laterally within the sliding hole. Simultaneously, the lateral adjustment seat causes two sliders to slide within two slideways. The slideways support and limit the sliders, thereby improving the stability of the lateral adjustment seat in moving the treatment component. The slideways are arc-shaped, allowing the treatment component to move at the edge of the inner wall of the neck brace, ensuring effective contact with the neck skin. After adjusting the treatment component to the appropriate monitoring position, the handle is released. The pulling force of the third spring causes the handle to move upwards, causing the locking rod to move upwards and engage with the slot, thus locking the position of the lateral adjustment seat and treatment component. This improves the stability of the treatment process and facilitates adjustment of the lateral position of the treatment component for treatment.

[0023] 4. When this invention treats a patient using the snoring treatment device, two microelectrodes from the hypoglossal nerve stimulation component are attached to the patient's sublingual region to generate electrical pulse signals that stimulate the hypoglossal nerve, causing the tongue muscles to contract. The sensing vibration mechanism consists 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 in real time. The vibration motor assembly includes an adjustable vibration output system that generates vibration based on feedback from the sound sensor, pressure sensor, and acceleration sensor. The control module has an embedded microprocessor and a wireless communication module to receive data from the treatment component and adjust the parameters of the sensing vibration mechanism and the hypoglossal nerve stimulation component according to a set program. The control module has a button interface on the outside, allowing users to adjust treatment parameters according to their comfort level. By combining intelligent sensing technology, vibration adjustment, and hypoglossal nerve stimulation technology, multiple treatment mechanisms can work synergistically to improve the treatment effect.

[0034] 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, and 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.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0036] A wearable snoring treatment device includes a neck support 1. A treatment component 7 is located on the inner side of the neck support 1. 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. The other ends of the two first springs 703 are fixed to the inner side of a horizontal adjustment seat 10. A sensing vibration mechanism 702 is installed on the inner side of the outer baffle 701. The sensing vibration mechanism 702 consists 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 in real time. The vibration motor assembly includes an adjustable vibration output system that generates vibration based on feedback from the sound sensor, pressure sensor, and acceleration sensor. The first springs 703 provide elastic support to both sides of the outer baffle 701, allowing the sensing vibration mechanism 702 to fit snugly against the neck skin, preventing non-contact between the sensing vibration mechanism 702 and the monitored area from affecting the monitoring and treatment effects.

[0037] A through hole 2 is provided inside the neck support 1, and a sliding seat 3 is installed inside the through hole 2. Limiting rods 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding seat 3, and the top of the limiting rods 14 slides through the extension of the neck support 1 on the outside. The sliding seat 3 drives the limiting rods 14 on both sides to slide on the outside of the neck support 1, thereby limiting the sliding seat 3.

[0038] An adjustment component 4 is provided in the middle of the sliding seat 3. The adjustment component 4 is installed on the outside of the support neck support 1. The adjustment component 4 includes a lead screw 401. A bearing 402 is installed at the bottom end of the lead screw 401. The bearing 402 is snapped onto the sliding seat 3. A nut 403 is connected to the lead screw 401 by an external thread. The nut 403 is snapped onto the extension of the outside of the support neck support 1. The top end of the lead screw 401 passes through the nut 403 and is fixedly connected to a handle 404.

[0039] The sliding seat 3 has a sliding hole 5. The top and bottom of the inner wall of the sliding hole 5 are respectively provided with slide rails 6. The top and bottom of the horizontal adjustment seat 10 are respectively fixedly connected with sliders 11. The sliders 11 are slidably connected in the slide rails 6. The slide rails 6, the horizontal adjustment seat 10 and the sliding hole 5 are all arc-shaped designs.

[0040] A ball groove 9 is provided on the side of the lateral adjustment seat 10 near the treatment component 7. The end of the support component 8 is engaged in the ball groove 9. The support component 8 includes a strong rubber ball 801, which is engaged in the ball groove 9. A slide cylinder 802 is fixedly connected to the side of the strong rubber ball 801 away from the lateral adjustment seat 10. A sliding rod 804 is slidably connected inside the slide cylinder 802. The other end of the sliding rod 804 is fixed to the outside of the outer baffle 701. A second spring 803 is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod 804. The end of the second spring 803 is fixed inside the slide cylinder 802.

[0041] A locking component 12 is installed on one side of the horizontal adjustment seat 10. Several slots 13 are opened on the lower outer side of the sliding seat 3 corresponding to the position of the locking component 12. The top of the locking component 12 is engaged in one of the slots 13. The locking component 12 includes a locking rod 121. The top of the locking rod 121 is engaged in the slot 13. A sliding sleeve 122 is sleeved on the locking rod 121. The sliding sleeve 122 is engaged on the outer side of the horizontal adjustment seat 10. The bottom end of the locking rod 121 passes through the sliding sleeve 122 and is fixedly connected to a handle 123. A third spring 124 is fixedly connected between the handle 123 and the lower outer side of the horizontal adjustment seat 10. The third spring 124 is sleeved on the outside of the locking rod 121.

[0042] By rotating the handle 404 in the forward direction, the screw 401 is driven to rotate. During the rotation of the screw 401 outside the nut 403, the sliding seat 3 can slide in the sliding hole 5 through the bearing 402. Since the screw 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 401. This allows the screw 401 to drive the lateral 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.

[0043] The pull of the third spring 124 causes the handle 123 to move upward, which in turn causes the locking rod 121 to move upward and engage in the slot 13, thereby locking the position of the lateral adjustment seat 10 and the treatment component 7 and improving the stability of the treatment. Pushing the locking component 12 causes the lateral adjustment seat 10 to slide laterally in the sliding hole 5. At the same time, the lateral adjustment seat 10 causes the two sliders 11 to slide in the two slide rails 6. The slide rails 6 support and limit the sliders 11, thereby improving the stability of the lateral adjustment seat 10 in moving the treatment component 7. The slide rails 6 are arc-shaped, allowing the treatment component 7 to move at the edge of the inner wall of the neck brace 1, so that the treatment component 7 can effectively contact the neck skin.

[0044] The sliding rod 804 is supported by the second spring 803 in the sliding cylinder 802, which drives the sensing vibration mechanism 702 to move via the outer baffle 701, allowing the sensing vibration mechanism 702 to fully conform to the skin of the neck. During the neck compression of the sensing vibration mechanism 702, the sensing vibration mechanism 702 will drive the sliding rod 804 to deflect via the outer baffle 701. The sliding rod 804 then drives the strong rubber ball 801 to move within the ball groove 9 via the sliding cylinder 802. The ball groove 9 and the strong rubber ball 801 can deflect at any angle, so the sensing vibration mechanism 702 can adaptively adjust its position and angle according to the activity state of the patient's neck.

[0045] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a hypoglossal nerve stimulation component 15 is installed on one side of the top of the neck brace 1, and an extension plate 16 is installed at the bottom of the neck brace 1. A tightening strap 17 is installed on one side of both the neck brace 1 and the extension plate 16, and an adjustment buckle 18 is installed on the tightening strap 17. The treatment device is then fitted over the patient's neck, with the upper tightening strap 17 positioned at the head and the lower tightening strap 17 at the neck. The tension of the tightening straps 17 is adjusted using the adjustment buckle 18, ensuring that both straps 17 fit snugly against the head and neck, thereby improving the stability of the garment and preventing slippage.

[0046] As a further embodiment 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 neck brace 1. Two insulated wires 152 are installed on the wiring base 151. A microelectrode 153 is installed at the end of the insulated wire 152. The microelectrode 153 is used to attach to the patient's sublingual region to generate electrical pulse signals to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve and cause the tongue muscles to contract.

[0047] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the extension plate 16 is arc-shaped, and a control module 19 is installed on the outer side of the extension plate 16. The control module 19 has an embedded microprocessor and a wireless communication module, which are used to receive data from the treatment component 7 and adjust the parameters of the sensing vibration mechanism 702 and the hypoglossal nerve stimulation component 15 according to the set program. The control module 19 has a button operation interface on its outer side, which allows the treatment parameters to be adjusted 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.

[0048] Working principle of this invention:

[0049] By attaching the treatment device to the patient's neck, with the upper tightening strap 17 positioned at the head and the lower tightening strap 17 at the neck, and adjusting the tension of the tightening straps 17 using the adjusting buckle 18, the two tightening straps 17 are kept close to the head and neck, thereby improving the stability of the device and preventing it from slipping off, as different patients have different neck lengths.

[0050] When adjusting the height of the sliding seat 3 and the treatment component 7, the screw 401 is rotated by rotating the handle 404 in the forward direction. During the rotation of the screw 401 outside the nut 403, the sliding seat 3 can slide in the sliding hole 5 through the bearing 402. Since the screw 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 401. At the same time, the sliding seat 3 drives the limiting rods 14 on both sides to slide outside the 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 to be located at the monitoring position, thereby improving the treatment effect.

[0051] When adjusting the position of the treatment component 7 laterally, hold the handle 123 and pull it down, causing the handle 123 to move the locking rod 121 downward within the sliding sleeve 122, causing the locking rod 121 to move down and disengage from the locking groove 13, so that the lateral adjustment seat 10 and the treatment component 7 are in a free-moving state in the sliding hole 5. Then push the handle 123 to drive the lateral adjustment seat 10 to slide laterally in the sliding hole 5; at the same time, the lateral adjustment seat 10 will drive the two sliders 11 to slide in the two slide rails 6. The slide rails 6 support and limit the sliders 11, thereby improving the stability of the lateral adjustment seat 10 driving the treatment component 7 to move. The slide rails 6 are arc-shaped, allowing the treatment component 7 to move at the edge of the inner wall of the neck brace 1, so that the treatment component 7 can effectively contact the neck skin.

[0052] After adjusting the treatment component 7 to the appropriate monitoring position, release the handle 123. The pull of the third spring 124 will cause the handle 123 to move upward. The handle 123 will then cause the locking rod 121 to move upward and lock into the slot 13, thereby locking the position of the horizontal adjustment seat 10 and the treatment component 7, thus improving the stability of the treatment work and facilitating the adjustment of the horizontal position of the treatment component 7 for treatment.

[0053] During the treatment of snoring by the treatment component 7, the sensing vibration mechanism 702 in the treatment component 7 can come into contact with the skin of the neck. During the patient's movement, 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 with the skin of the neck. Furthermore, because the human neck is relatively flexible and does not move in a regular arc, during the neck compression of the sensing vibration mechanism 702, the sensing vibration mechanism 702 will drive the sliding rod 804 to deflect via the outer baffle 701. The sliding rod 804, in turn, drives the strong rubber ball 801 to move within the ball groove 9 via the sliding cylinder 802. The ball groove 9 and the strong rubber ball 801 can deflect at any angle. Therefore, the sensing vibration mechanism 702 can adaptively adjust its position and angle according to the patient's neck movement. In conjunction with the second spring 803 supporting the sensing vibration mechanism 702 via the sliding rod 804 and the outer baffle 701, and the first spring 703 providing elastic support to both sides of the outer baffle 701, the sensing vibration mechanism 702 can closely fit the neck skin, preventing the sensing vibration mechanism 702 from not contacting the monitoring area and affecting the monitoring and treatment effect, thus ensuring the actual application effect of the snoring treatment device.

[0054] When treating a patient with this snoring treatment device, two microelectrodes 153 in the hypoglossal nerve stimulation component 15 are attached to the patient's sublingual region to generate electrical pulse signals that stimulate the hypoglossal nerve, causing the tongue muscles to contract. The sensing vibration mechanism 702 consists 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 in real time. The vibration motor assembly includes an adjustable vibration output system that generates vibration based on feedback from the sound sensor, pressure sensor, and acceleration sensor. The control module 19 has an embedded microprocessor and a wireless communication module to receive data from the treatment component 7 and adjust the parameters of the sensing vibration mechanism 702 and the hypoglossal nerve stimulation component 15 according to the set program. The control module 19 has a button operation interface on the outside, allowing users to adjust the treatment parameters according to their 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.
