Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an anti-snoring device. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards and changes in dietary structure, more and more people suffer from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, which is breathing apnea caused by obstructive lesions of the upper airway, with snoring as the main symptom.

[0003] As for the causes of the above-mentioned diseases, they are mainly due to weakness of the respiratory muscles, such as weakness, thickening and crowding of the neck and pharyngeal muscles, which leads to airway obstruction, thereby causing snoring during sleep, which seriously affects the patient's physical and mental health.

[0004] To effectively treat snoring and ensure the patient's physical and mental well-being, treatment methods mainly include surgical removal, anti-snoring therapy, and exercise-based weight loss therapy. Specifically, anti-snoring therapy involves patients wearing CPAP machines, anti-snoring patches, mouthguards, or anti-snoring belts before sleep to keep the airway clear during sleep. However, patient acceptance is low, and these methods only address the symptoms, not the root cause; snoring resumes after the devices are removed. Exercise-based weight loss therapy can fundamentally address respiratory muscle weakness caused by obesity, but it requires a significant amount of time and a specific location, which is difficult for most people to find time for, thus hindering the effectiveness of snoring treatment.

[0005] However, in addition to the treatments mentioned above, training devices can be used to exercise the muscles in the patient's throat or larynx to treat snoring and improve ventilator function. However, existing training devices cannot effectively exercise these muscles and cannot adjust the breathing resistance of the device according to individual circumstances, thus affecting the treatment outcome for patients. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an anti-snoring device that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] Based on the above concept, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0008] An anti-snoring device includes a housing with an inner cavity, an air inlet and an air outlet respectively communicating with the inner cavity; an isolation component disposed within the housing to divide the inner cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity, the isolation component having a channel communicating with the first cavity and the second cavity; a vibration component including a sealing member and a spring extending along a first direction, one end of the spring being fixedly connected to the sealing member and the other end being fixedly connected to the housing, the spring being used to reset the sealing member to the position of sealing the channel when it moves to a position where the channel is not blocked, and to provide resistance to the sealing member to prevent it from disengaging from the position of sealing the channel; and an adjustment component including an adjustment rod extending along the first direction and a movable plate moving along the first direction, the spring penetrating the movable plate and slidably connected thereto, the adjustment rod penetrating the movable plate and threadedly connected thereto, such that when the adjustment rod rotates, it drives the movable plate to move along the first direction.

[0009] Preferably, the outer casing includes a first housing extending along a second direction, and the first cavity, the second cavity, the isolation component, and the sealing component are disposed within the first housing.

[0010] Preferably, the outer casing further includes a second housing extending along the first direction, the first housing communicating with the interior of the second housing, and the adjustment component and the spring piece being located within the second housing.

[0011] Preferably, the isolation component includes a first partition frame, which is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the first housing. The channel passes through the first partition frame, and when the sealing member blocks the channel, at least a portion of the sealing member is housed within the channel.

[0012] Preferably, the isolation assembly further includes a second partition frame fixedly connected to the first partition frame, and the channel passes through the second partition frame.

[0013] Preferably, the sealing member has a first groove on the surface opposite to the first partition frame.

[0014] Preferably, the second housing is provided with a pad, the pad having a positioning surface extending along the first direction, the bottom surface of the movable plate abutting against the positioning surface and slidably connected thereto, so that the movable plate can move along the first direction on the positioning surface.

[0015] Preferably, a support block is fixed inside the second housing, and the other end of the spring piece is fixedly connected to the support block. The adjustment assembly further includes a connecting rod and a screwing part. The screwing part is located on the outer end face of the second housing away from the first housing. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the adjustment rod and the other end is fixedly connected to the screwing part. The connecting rod passes through the support block and the outer end face of the second housing and is rotatably connected to them.

[0016] Preferably, the sealing component is provided with a plurality of Tesla valves, each Tesla valve including a first port and a second port, the first port communicating with the space above the sealing component, and the second port communicating with the channel.

[0017] Preferably, the anti-snoring device further includes a three-way tube and a water vapor generating device. The three-way tube includes a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface. The first interface is connected to the outer shell, the second interface is connected to the air outlet of the water vapor generating device, and the third interface is used to connect to the nasal cavity or pharynx.

[0018] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The anti-snoring device of this invention allows the adjustment rod to adjust the position of the moving plate in the first direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the sealing element and the moving plate. Since the spring plate passes through the moving plate, the torque of the spring plate on the sealing element changes accordingly, which in turn changes the resistance to the sealing element being blown open. This allows the device to be adjusted to the required resistance level to meet the breathing exercise needs of different patients, enabling patients to recover from snoring symptoms as soon as possible.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The anti-snoring device provided by the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0034] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of this specification are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0035] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this specification, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] In this specification, axial direction refers to the direction parallel to the line connecting the distal and proximal centers of the component; radial direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the aforementioned axial direction.

[0037] In one embodiment, an anti-snoring device 100 includes a housing 1 with an inner cavity, an air inlet and an air outlet respectively communicating with the inner cavity; an isolation component 2 disposed within the housing 1 to divide the inner cavity into a first cavity 115 and a second cavity 116, the isolation component 2 having a channel 23 communicating with the first cavity 115 and the second cavity 116; and a vibration component 3 including a sealing member 31 and a spring piece 32 extending along a first direction, one end of the spring piece 32 being fixedly connected to the sealing member 31 and the other end being fixedly connected to the housing 1, the spring piece 32 being used to cause the sealing member to vibrate. When the occluder 31 moves to the unblocked position of the channel 23, it returns to the position where the channel 23 is blocked, and can provide resistance to the occluder 31, preventing the occluder 31 from dislodging from the blocked channel 23, thus facilitating breathing exercises for the patient; the adjusting assembly 4 includes an adjusting rod 41 extending along the first direction and a moving plate 44 moving along the first direction, the spring piece 32 passing through the moving plate 44 and slidably connected thereto, and the adjusting rod 41 passing through the moving plate 44 and threadedly connected thereto, so that when the adjusting rod 41 rotates, it drives the moving plate 44 to move along the first direction, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown.

[0038] Preferably, the outer shell 1 can be made of plastic or metal, etc.; the shape of the outer shell 1 can be a regular geometric shape, such as a cylinder or cuboid, or an irregular geometric shape, such as a combination of a cylinder and a cuboid, etc., without specific limitations; the outer shell 1 has an inner cavity for gas flow during patient inhalation or exhalation, and is used to generate mechanical vibration sound waves in conjunction with the vibration component, thereby exercising the patient's nasal cavity or throat; the air inlet is located at one end of the inner cavity so that gas can enter the inner cavity from the air inlet, such as inhaled gas or exhaled gas, to achieve the purpose of gas input; the air outlet is located at the other end of the inner cavity so that the gas in the inner cavity can be discharged from the air outlet. It is the arrangement of the air inlet, inner cavity, and air outlet that enables gas flow and facilitates the generation of mechanical vibration sound waves.

[0039] More preferably, the isolation component 2 is disposed within the outer casing 1 to achieve spatial isolation of the inner cavity and to divide it into an independent first cavity 115 and a second cavity 116; the isolation component 2 is disposed between the air inlet and the air outlet to achieve gas isolation; the isolation component 2 is provided with a channel 23, which can be a cylinder, cuboid, or other geometric shape, etc., and can be set as needed, without specific limitation here; the channel 23 is located between the first cavity 115 and the second cavity 116, one end of the channel 23 is connected to the first cavity 115 and the other end is connected to the second cavity 116, so as to achieve the purpose of connecting the first cavity 115 and the second cavity 116, that is, gas flows from the first cavity 115 through the channel 23 into the second cavity 116, or from the second cavity 116 through the channel 23 into the first cavity 115, so as to achieve the purpose of gas flow.

[0040] It should be noted that the air inlet is connected to the first chamber 115 and the air outlet is connected to the second chamber 116, or the air inlet is connected to the second chamber 116 and the air outlet is connected to the first chamber 115. This can be configured as needed and is not specifically limited here. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 3 As shown, the air inlet is located at the lower end of the outer shell 1 and communicates with the first cavity 115, and the air outlet is located at the upper end of the outer shell 1 and communicates with the second cavity 116. For ease of understanding, the following description will use this embodiment as an example.

[0041] More preferably, the sealing member 31 is movable within the inner cavity along the second direction, that is, the sealing member 31 is movable to the position of the sealing channel 23, such as... Figure 3As shown, it can also be moved to a position where the channel 23 is not blocked. The back-and-forth movement of the blocking member 31 generates mechanical vibration sound waves, which are then transmitted to the nasal cavity or pharynx to exercise the muscle groups. The shape of the blocking member 31 is adapted to the shape of the channel 23 so that when the blocking member 31 is at least partially housed within the channel 23, it can prevent gas from passing through the channel 23 and prevent gas flow. The spring piece 32 extends along the first direction, with one end fixedly connected to the blocking member 31 and the other end fixedly connected to the outer shell 1, thereby achieving the purpose of resetting the blocking member 31. When the patient exhales or inhales, the blocking member 31 moves away from the channel 23 so that gas can pass through the channel 23. After exhalation or inhalation, the spring 32 can reset the sealing member 31 to re-seal the channel 23 and prevent gas from passing through the channel 23. The spring 32 is made of materials such as stainless steel, copper sheet, and beryllium copper. It can reset the sealing member 31 that is far away from the channel 23 and re-seal the channel 23, and generate vibration at a certain frequency, thereby generating mechanical vibration sound waves. The sealing member 31 is provided with a connecting part 312, which extends along the first direction. The sealing member 31 and the connecting part 312 are integrally formed, or they can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, etc., which is not specifically limited here. One end of the spring 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 312, such as by screws or bolts, which is not specifically limited here.

[0042] It should be noted that: such as Figure 3 As shown, the first direction is the horizontal direction to the left and right, and the second direction is the vertical direction to the up and down. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. In other embodiments, the first direction and the second direction intersect, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0043] It should also be noted that the sealing component 31 is preferably made of plastic, such as engineering plastic ABS, etc., which can be set as needed and is not specifically limited here.

[0044] Preferably, the adjusting rod 41 extends along the first direction, for example, parallel to the spring piece 32 in its natural state; the outer circumferential surface of the adjusting rod 41 is provided with an external thread so as to drive the moving plate 44 to move along the first direction; the adjusting rod 41 can be located below the spring piece 32 or above the spring piece 32, etc., without specific limitation.

[0045] More preferably, the movable plate 44 can move along the first direction, that is, the movable plate 44 can move along the first direction to a position close to the sealing member 31, or it can move to a position far away from the sealing member 31.

[0046] Furthermore, the spring 32 passes through the movable plate 44 along the first direction and is slidably connected to it, thereby preventing the movable plate 44 from rotating on its own and limiting the spring 32 on the other hand, so as to increase the resistance of the deformation of the spring 32 and meet the needs of patients who require different breathing resistance.

[0047] Furthermore, the adjusting rod 41 passes through the movable plate 44 and is threadedly connected to it, so that when the adjusting rod 41 rotates, it drives the movable plate 44 to move in the first direction toward or away from the sealing member 31, so as to adjust the resistance of the deformation of the spring 32. For example, when the movable plate 44 is close to the sealing member 31, the deformation resistance of the end of the spring 32 connected to the sealing member 31 increases, while when the movable plate 44 is away from the sealing member 31, the deformation resistance of the end of the spring 32 connected to the sealing member 31 decreases, thereby meeting the training needs of patients with different requirements for breathing resistance.

[0048] In one embodiment, the outer casing 1 includes a first housing 11 extending along a second direction, wherein the first cavity 115, the second cavity 116, the isolation assembly 2, and the sealing member 31 are disposed within the first housing 11. Figures 1 to 7 As shown.

[0049] Preferably, the first housing 11 extends along the second direction, and the air inlet and air outlet are located at the two ends of the length direction of the first housing 11, so as to realize the flow of gas in the first housing 11 along the second direction.

[0050] More preferably, the isolation component 2 is housed within the first housing 11 and is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the first housing 11 to separate the first cavity 115 and the second cavity 116.

[0051] More preferably, the first cavity 115 and the second cavity 116 are located inside the first housing 11 and are located on both sides of the isolation assembly 2 in the second direction.

[0052] Preferably, the blocking member 31 is housed within the first housing 11 and moves back and forth in the second direction within the first housing 11 so as to periodically block the channel 23 as the patient exhales or inhales, thereby achieving unidirectional gas flow.

[0053] In one embodiment, the outer casing 1 further includes a second casing 12 extending along the first direction, the first casing 11 communicating with the interior of the second casing 11, and the adjusting assembly 4 and the spring piece 32 being located within the second casing 12. Figures 1 to 7 As shown.

[0054] Preferably, the second housing 12 is located on one side of the first housing 11 and is fixedly connected to it, such as by integral molding, welding, or bonding. The method of fixed connection can be set as needed and is not specifically limited here.

[0055] More preferably, the interior of the second housing 12 is in communication with the interior of the first housing 11, so that gas in the first housing 11 can flow into the second housing 12, and gas in the second housing 12 can flow into the first housing 11.

[0056] Preferably, the side of the first housing 11 is provided with a second groove 114, which extends along the second direction. The second groove 114 can be in the form of a cuboid or other geometric shape. The second groove 114 penetrates the inner and outer surfaces of the first housing 11 and communicates with the interior of the second housing 12. Thus, the interior of the first housing 11 and the interior of the second housing 12 are connected through the second groove 114.

[0057] Preferably, the first housing 11 further includes a baffle 13, which is disposed at one end of the length direction of the first housing 11. It can be welded, snap-fitted or glued, and its fixed connection method can be set as needed, without being specifically limited here.

[0058] More preferably, the baffle 13 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 131. The first through holes 131 are provided in a plurality of manner and may be arranged in a regular manner or irregularly, etc., without being specifically limited here. The baffle 13 is also provided with a blocking part 132, which extends along the second direction. The blocking part 132 is inserted into the second groove 114 to block part of the second groove 114. The spring piece 32 passes through the second groove 114 to extend into the first housing 11.

[0059] Furthermore, the adjustment component 4 is disposed within the second housing 12, and the spring piece 32 is disposed within the second housing 12, so as to provide space for the deformation of the spring piece 32, and the adjustment component 4 can adjust the resistance of the spring piece 32.

[0060] Furthermore, the second housing 12 is provided with a cover plate 14, which is located at the upper end of the second housing 12. The cover plate 14 is snap-fitted to the second housing 12 for easy disassembly, so that the spring piece 32 and the adjustment component 4 can be easily inserted into the second housing 12 from the upper end of the second housing 12.

[0061] Furthermore, the end of the cover plate 14 near the first housing 11 abuts against the outer surface of the first housing 11 and the shielding part 132, and sealant or the like can be added between them to achieve a seal between the first housing 11 and the interior of the second housing 12.

[0062] It should be noted that: the lower end of the cover plate 14 is provided with a number of snap-fit ​​blocks 141, and four snap-fit ​​blocks 141 can be provided. The second housing 12 is provided with a number of snap-fit ​​grooves 124 opposite to the snap-fit ​​blocks 141. The number of snap-fit ​​grooves 124 and snap-fit ​​blocks 141 are the same and correspond one-to-one. When the cover plate 14 is installed on the second housing 12, the snap-fit ​​blocks 141 snap into the snap-fit ​​grooves 124 to achieve a fixed connection between the cover plate 14 and the second housing 12.

[0063] In one embodiment, the isolation component 2 includes a first partition frame 21, which is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the first housing 11. The channel 23 extends through the first partition frame 21. When the sealing member 31 blocks the channel 23, at least a portion of the sealing member 31 is accommodated within the channel 23. Figures 1 to 7 As shown.

[0064] Preferably, the first partition 21 is conical, and the area of ​​the upper surface of the first partition 21 is larger than the area of ​​its lower surface, so that the gas can be concentrated inside it.

[0065] More preferably, the channel 23 extends along the second direction and penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the first partition 21 to enable gas to flow between the first cavity 115 and the second cavity 116.

[0066] More preferably, the upper end of the first partition frame 21 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first housing 11 so as to fix the first partition frame 21 inside the first housing 11.

[0067] Preferably, when the sealing member 31 blocks the channel 23, the lower end of the sealing member 31 is housed in the channel 23 to block the channel 23, preventing gas from flowing from the second cavity 116 into the first cavity 115 and obstructing the flow of air.

[0068] In one embodiment, the isolation component 2 further includes a second partition 22 fixedly connected to the first partition 21, and the channel 23 passes through the second partition 22, such as... Figures 1 to 7 As shown.

[0069] Preferably, the second partition 22 is located below the first partition 21, and the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 are arranged sequentially along the second direction.

[0070] More preferably, the second partition 22 is internally connected to the first partition 21 so that gas can pass through both the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 simultaneously.

[0071] More preferably, the second partition 22 can be a cylinder or a cone, that is, the area of ​​the lower surface of the second partition 22 is greater than the area of ​​its upper surface, such as... Figure 4As shown, the gas in the first cavity 115 can enter the channel 23 in large quantities and quickly, and then flow through the first partition 21 into the second cavity 116, improving the efficiency of airflow. Specifically, the area of ​​the lower surface of the second partition 22 is greater than 50% of the cross-section of the first cavity 115, thereby ensuring that the gas quickly passes through the channel 23 from the first cavity 115.

[0072] Preferably, the channel 23 extends through the second partition 22, so that the internal cavities of the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 form the channel 23 to achieve airflow.

[0073] In one embodiment, the sealing member 31 has a first groove 311 on the surface opposite to the first partition frame 21, such as... Figure 4 As shown.

[0074] Preferably, the first groove 311 is disposed on the upper surface of the sealing member 31, that is, it is formed by recessing downward from the upper surface of the sealing member 31.

[0075] More preferably, the shape of the first groove 311 can be a cylinder, cuboid, hemisphere, etc. In this embodiment, the shape of the first groove 311 is a hemisphere so as to match the shape of the sealing member 31, thereby minimizing its mass and reducing the influence of the adjustment component 4 on the resistance adjustment.

[0076] It should be noted that the design of the first groove 311 can reduce the weight of the sealing component 31 and reduce the impact of the weight of the sealing component 31 on the overall resistance adjustment. When the sealing component 31 is heavy, different patient usage habits, such as sitting, standing, or lying down, will generate a certain component force, which will affect the resistance adjustment effect and the patient's training effect.

[0077] In one embodiment, the second housing 12 is provided with a pad 122, the pad 122 having a positioning surface 123 extending along the first direction, the bottom surface of the movable plate 44 abutting against and slidably connected to the positioning surface 123 so that the movable plate 44 can move along the first direction on the positioning surface 123.

[0081] Preferably, the side of the movable plate 44 and the side of the second housing 12 can be slidably connected, or there can be a gap, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0082] In one embodiment, a support block 33 is fixed inside the second housing 12, and the other end of the spring piece 32 is fixedly connected to the support block 33. The adjustment assembly 4 further includes a connecting rod 42 and a screwing part 43. The screwing part 43 is located on the outer end face of the second housing 12 opposite to the first housing 11. One end of the connecting rod 42 is fixedly connected to the adjustment rod 41, and the other end is fixedly connected to the screwing part 43. The connecting rod 42 passes through the support block 33 and the outer end face of the second housing 12 and is rotatably connected to it. Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0086] Preferably, the connecting rod 42 passes through the support block 33 and the outer end face 121 of the second housing 12 to extend to the outside of the second housing 12. The connecting rod 42 is rotatably connected to the support block 33 and the outer end face 121 of the second housing 12, so that the connecting rod 42 can rotate.

[0087] More preferably, the other end of the connecting rod 42 is fixedly connected to the screwing part 43, and the central axis of the screwing part 43 is collinear with the central axis of the connecting rod 42, so that rotating the screwing part 43 will cause the connecting rod 42 and the adjusting rod 41 to rotate accordingly.

[0088] Furthermore, the side of the rotating part 43 abuts against the outer end face 121 of the second housing 12 and is slidably connected thereto, so that the screwing part 43 can rotate on its own.

[0089] It should be noted that the support block 33 is provided with a second through hole 331, which penetrates the support block 33 along the first direction. The connecting rod 42 passes through the second through hole 331 and is rotatably connected to the support block 33, so that the connecting rod 42 can rotate within the second through hole 331.

[0090] In one embodiment, the sealing member 31 is provided with a plurality of Tesla valves 34, each Tesla valve 34 including a first port 341 and a second port 342.

[0093] More preferably, the Tesla valve 34 includes a first port 341 for air intake, the first port 341 being located at the upper end of the Tesla valve 34 and on the upper surface of the sealing member 31, to communicate with the second chamber 116.

[0094] Preferably, the Tesla valve 34 includes a second port 342 for venting gas. The second port 342 is located at the lower end of the Tesla valve 34 and communicates with the channel 23, so that when the sealing member 31 blocks the channel 23, the gas flows from the second chamber 116 into the first port 341 and then into the interior of the Tesla valve 34, then flows from the second port 342 into the channel 23, and finally into the first chamber 115.

[0095] It should be noted that when the sealing component 31 blocks the channel 23, the gas in the second chamber 116 can flow into the first chamber 115 through the Tesla valve 34 to achieve the function of ventilation.

[0096] In one embodiment, the movable plate 441 is provided with a groove 441 and a threaded hole 442. The spring piece 32 passes through the groove 441 and is slidably connected thereto. The adjusting rod 41 passes through the threaded hole 442 and is threadedly connected thereto. Figures 1 to 7 As shown.

[0097] Preferably, the groove 441 is elongated and adapted to the shape of the spring piece 32, so that the spring piece 32 passes through the groove 441 and is slidably connected to it, so that the moving plate 44 moves along the extension direction of the spring piece 32.

[0098] More preferably, the threaded hole 442 is located below the slide groove 441. The threaded hole 442 is cylindrical. The adjusting rod 41 passes through the threaded hole 442 and is threadedly connected to it, so that when the adjusting rod 41 rotates, it can drive the moving plate 44 to move along the first direction.

[0099] In one embodiment, the adjusting assembly 4 further includes a latching piece 45 fixed to the connecting rod 42, the latching piece 45 abutting against the side of the support block 44 to limit the movement of the connecting rod 42 in a first direction, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0100] Preferably, the latching piece 45 abuts against the side of the support block 33 facing the first housing 11 and is slidably connected to it, thereby positioning the connecting rod 42 on the support block 33 and limiting the movement of the connecting rod 42 in the first direction.

[0101] More preferably, the connecting rod 42 is provided with a slot, and the buckle piece 45 is snapped and fixed in the slot to fix the buckle piece 45 to the connecting rod 42.

[0102] In one embodiment, the first housing 11 is provided with a third groove 113, the third groove 113 having a through hole connecting the first cavity 115 and the second housing 12. The anti-snoring device 100 also includes a one-way valve 5 fixed to the third groove 113 and covering the through hole, so that gas in the second housing 12 can flow into the first cavity 115 through the one-way valve 5, but gas cannot flow from the first cavity 115 into the second housing 12 through the one-way valve 5. Figure 2 As shown.

[0103] Preferably, the third groove 113 can be circular, rectangular or other geometric shapes, etc., without specific limitations.

[0104] More preferably, there are one or more perforations. When there are multiple perforations, they can be arranged in a regular pattern or in an irregular pattern. No specific limitation is made here. The perforations penetrate the inner and outer surfaces of the first housing 11 to connect the first cavity 115 and the second housing 12.

[0105] More preferably, the shape of the one-way valve 5 is adapted to the shape of the third groove 113 so that the one-way valve 5 is fixed in the third groove 113 and covers all the perforations, so that the gas in the second housing 12 can pass through the one-way valve 5 into the first chamber 115, but will not flow from the first chamber 115 into the second housing 12.

[0106] It should be noted that the one-way valve 5 is designed to provide ventilation when the sealing component 31 blocks the channel 23.

[0107] It should also be noted that the opening area of ​​the one-way valve 5 is greater than or equal to 57 square millimeters, and the area of ​​all the first through holes 131 is greater than the opening area of ​​the one-way valve 5, thereby allowing air to quickly pass from the second housing 12 through the one-way valve 5 into the first chamber 115.

[0108] In one embodiment, the anti-snoring device 100 further includes a three-way tube 6 and a water vapor generating device 7. The three-way tube 6 includes a first interface 61, a second interface 63, and a third interface 62. The first interface 61 communicates with the outer shell 1, the second interface 63 communicates with the air outlet 71 of the water vapor generating device 7, and the third interface 62 is used to communicate with the nasal cavity or pharynx. Figures 8 to 11 As shown.

[0109] Preferably, the outer casing 1 includes a first end 111 disposed at one end of the first housing 11 and a second end 112 disposed at the other end of the first housing 11, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the first end 111 is located at the lower end of the first housing 11, that is, at one end of the first cavity 115, and the second end 112 is located at the upper end of the first housing 11, that is, at one end of the second cavity 116.

[0110] More preferably, the first port 61 of the three-way pipe 6 is connected to the first end 111, for example, the first port 61 is housed in the first end 111 and is sealed with it by interference fit or bonding, or the first end 111 is housed in the first port 61 and is sealed with it by interference fit or bonding.

[0111] More preferably, the water vapor generating device 7 is used to generate water vapor from water, such as by using ultrasonic technology to generate water vapor from water, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here; the water vapor generating device 7 includes an outlet 71 for discharging the water vapor it generates through the outlet 71.

[0112] Preferably, the second interface 63 is connected to the air outlet 71, for example, the second interface 63 is housed in the air outlet 71 and is sealed with it by interference fit or adhesive bonding, or the air outlet 71 is housed in the second interface 63 and is sealed with it by interference fit or adhesive bonding.

[0113] More preferably, when the third interface 62 is connected to the bite nozzle 8, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the bite nozzle 8 includes a connection port 81, and a third interface 62 communicates with the connection port 81. For example, the third interface 62 is housed in the connection port 81 and is sealed with it by interference fit or adhesive bonding, or the connection port 81 is housed in the third interface 62 and is sealed with it by interference fit or adhesive bonding.

[0114] Furthermore, when the third interface 62 is connected to the nasal mask 9, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the nasal mask 9 includes an opening 91, and a third interface 61 communicates with the opening 91. For example, the third interface 61 is housed within the opening 91 and is sealed with it by interference fit or adhesive bonding, or the opening 91 is housed within the third interface 62 and is sealed with it by interference fit or adhesive bonding.

[0115] It should be noted that when a patient exhales or inhales, airflow is generated, causing the sealing element 31 of the anti-snoring device 100 to swing back and forth. The spring 32 deforms periodically, generating mechanical vibration sound waves. These mechanical vibration sound waves are transmitted to the three-way tube 6 through the first interface 61 and mix with the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device 7 in the three-way tube 6. On the one hand, the mechanical vibration sound waves and water vapor are transmitted to the throat together to increase the exercise effect on the throat and increase its humidity. On the other hand, the mechanical vibration sound waves can cause the water droplets of the water vapor to break down again, further reducing their particle size. This is beneficial for the adsorption of the mucous membrane and muscle groups in the throat, or for diluting viscous phlegm, improving airway patency, and further enhancing the anti-snoring effect.

[0116] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
