The "two-way" electromagnetic valve is not connected when the two air ports are not connected, and the two air ports are connected when the electromagnetic valve is powered on. The "three-way" electromagnetic valve has three air ports, and the air paths of two of the air ports are connected when the electromagnetic valve is not powered on. When the electromagnetic valve is powered on, one of the original connected air paths is closed, and the other air port is connected to form a connected air path.
[0165] The electromagnetic valve for the intelligent pillow has a current of about several hundred mA (100-400 mA, 200-300 mA is more common).
[0166] The two electromagnetic valves involved in the subsequent Figures 25 to 31 are shown in Figure 25 . In Figure 25 , the left small graph is a two-state two-way valve, which is recorded as a BF type electromagnetic valve. The A and B air nozzles are connected only when the electromagnetic valve is powered on, and are not connected when the electromagnetic valve is powered off.
[0167] Figure 25 In , the middle small graph is a two-state three-way valve, which is recorded as a TF type electromagnetic valve. The valve has three air nozzles. In the graph, the A and B air nozzles are connected when the electromagnetic valve is powered on.

[0168] Figure 25In the middle, the right small picture is a check valve or a one-way valve, a device that limits the flow direction of the gas flow. For two different gas pressure areas, the middle is connected by a check valve. Only the high gas pressure area can flow to the low gas pressure area when the check valve allows the flow direction. If the direction is reversed, even if it is a high gas pressure area, the gas flow cannot flow to the low gas pressure area.
[0169] In this application, the air pump can be a DC single-way air pump, which can only inflate. The working current of the air pump changes with the resistance in the air path during inflation.

The main control board includes a sound signal processing module, a pressure signal processing module, a gas pressure detection module, and a gas path component control module. The gas pressure detection module includes multiple pressure sensors. The gas pressure sensing end of one pressure sensor is in communication with one independent air bag. The design of multiple pressure sensors allows the pressure of a single air bag to be independently controlled, and the subsequent control of the inflation and deflation of a single air bag relies on the pressure output of the pressure sensor. The main control board controls the inflation and deflation of a single air bag based on the pressure obtained by the pressure sensor.
[0172] The gas path component control module includes an air pump and multiple air valves. One air valve is connected to one end of one air bag, and the air valve is used to control the inflation or deflation of the air bag. One end of each air valve is connected to one air bag. The other end of each air valve is connected to the air pump. When the air valve is in the first state, the air pump and the air bags are connected through the air valves, and the air pump inflates the air bags when it works. When the air valve is in the second state, the air bags and the air pump are not connected.

One end of each BF type electromagnetic valve is connected to one air bag. The other end of each BF type electromagnetic valve is connected to the atmosphere. When the BF type electromagnetic valve is in the first state, the air pump and the air bags are connected. The air pump inflates the air bags. When the BF type electromagnetic valve is in the second state, the air pump and the air bags are not connected. The air bags are connected to the external atmosphere through the BF type electromagnetic valve.Figure 27 The one end of the plurality of BF solenoid valves is connected and communicates with the external atmosphere. The BF solenoid valve can be energized only in the second state, that is, the period when the air bag and the external atmosphere are communicated and deflated.

The AN check valve is arranged to reduce the mutual influence between the air bags, and while the plurality of air bags share the same air pump, the mutual influence between the air bags can be reduced.
[0175] As Figure 28 In an embodiment of the dual-purpose air pillow, a plurality of BN check valves are further included; the air inlet end of each BN check valve is connected with one end of the BF solenoid valve, and the air outlet end of each BN check valve is communicated with the external atmosphere.
[0176] As Figure 29 In an embodiment of the dual-purpose air pillow, the air valve includes a plurality of two-state three-way valves, that is, TF solenoid valves; one end of each TF solenoid valve is connected with one air bag; the other end of each TF solenoid valve is connected with the air pump; and the other end of each TF solenoid valve is connected with the external atmosphere through a two-state two-way valve, that is, a BF solenoid valve M.
[0177] When the TF solenoid valve is in the first state, the air pump and the air bags are communicated through the TF solenoid valve; and when the air pump works, the air bags are inflated.
[0178] When the TF solenoid valve is in the second state, the air bags are communicated with the external atmosphere through the TF solenoid valve.
[0179] When the BF solenoid valve M is in the first state, the other end of each TF solenoid valve is communicated with the external atmosphere through the BF solenoid valve M.
[0180] When the BF solenoid valve M is in the second state, the other end of each TF solenoid valve is not communicated with the external atmosphere.
[0181] As Figure 29 In an embodiment of the dual-purpose air pillow, when the TF solenoid valve is in the first state, the air pump and the air bags are communicated through the TF solenoid valve; and when the air pump works, the air bags are inflated; and when the TF solenoid valve is in the second state, the air pump is communicated with one end of a two-state two-way solenoid valve through the TF solenoid valve, and the other end of the two-state two-way solenoid valve is communicated with the external atmosphere. The two-state two-way solenoid valve is energized only in the air bag deflation stage and is communicated with the external atmosphere.
[0182] As Figure 30In an embodiment of the dual-purpose air pillow, a plurality of CN one-way valves are further included, one end of each CN one-way valve is connected with the air pump, and the other end of each CN one-way valve is in communication with one end of the TF electromagnetic valve. In the first state of the TF electromagnetic valve, the air pump is in communication with the air bag; in the second state of the TF electromagnetic valve, the air bag is in communication with the external atmosphere.
[0183] As Figure 31 In an embodiment of the dual-purpose air pillow, a plurality of DN one-way valves are further included, one end of each DN one-way valve is in communication with one end of the TF electromagnetic valve, and the other end of each DN one-way valve is in communication with the external atmosphere.
[0184] The air valve in the dual-purpose air pillow described above can be the multi-air bag pillow air valve assembly described above when a plurality of air valves are present, thereby saving space, having a higher degree of modularization, and facilitating production and maintenance.
[0185] In an embodiment of the control method of the dual-purpose air pillow, based on the dual-purpose air pillow described above, the dual-purpose air pillow can be used for snoring prevention and height adjustment; the control method includes two working modes.
[0186] The first working mode is the height adjustment control mode; when the pillow is raised, the air pump is in communication with each air bag, the air pump inflates each air bag to raise the height of the pillow; when the pillow is lowered, the main control board controls the air valve to allow each air bag to communicate with the atmosphere to deflate; when the target pressure is reached, the air valve is closed to allow each air bag to not communicate with the atmosphere, thereby maintaining the height of the pillow.
[0187] The second working mode is the snoring prevention mode; according to an external instruction, the specific air bags that need to be inflated and deflated are obtained; for the CQ air bag that needs to be inflated, the air pump is started to inflate the CQ air bag; for the FQ air bag that needs to be deflated, the corresponding air valve is opened to allow the FQ air bag to communicate with the atmosphere to deflate; when the target pressure is reached, the air valve is closed to allow the FQ air bag to not communicate with the atmosphere, thereby maintaining the pressure of the FQ air bag.
[0188] The main control board includes a sound signal processing module, a pressure signal processing module, an air pressure detection module, and an air path component control module.
[0189] The pressure signal processing module in the main control board is used to process the pressure detection information obtained by the pressure detection belt; the sound signal processing module in the main control board is used to obtain external sound information and determine whether the state is snoring. The air pressure detection module in the main control board is used to obtain the pressure state of each air bag, and each air bag is separately provided with a pressure sensor.
[0190] The main control board determines the current working mode of the pillow according to the acquired various information and external instructions. It can switch into the height lifting control mode or the snoring stopping mode according to the external instructions. It can also automatically enter the corresponding working mode according to the information obtained by real-time monitoring and the pre-set mode selection mechanism.
[0191] The overall scheme includes three large parts: the main control board, the pillow air path, and the pressure detection belt.
[0192] The main control board is responsible for the main control component of the implementation of the entire pillow function, and processes the collected sound, pressure, and air pressure information in the specific air path, such as Figure 32 Fig. 1 is a hardware principle diagram of the control board.
[0193] The pressure detection belt includes a pressure sensing array, a multi-way switching m-to-1 module, and sends the pressure distribution data acquired by the pressure sensing array to an analog-to-digital conversion module. The data is pre-processed by the processor and sent to the main control board through the external communication interface. The pressure sensing array is composed of multiple sensors that can sense pressure. The pressure detection belt includes a resistance type and a capacitance type pressure sensing belt. The pressure data that can be sensed can form a data array [k, m], k rows, m columns. More simply, the pressure detection belt can be placed under the user's shoulder on the north side, or it can be expanded to a larger sensing area and placed on the entire bed surface area. Here, [1, m] is taken as an example for introduction.
[0194] Regarding the buffering and noise reduction of the air path, when the airflow speed in a certain air path is fast, it may bring different degrees of airflow sound. In order to suppress or eliminate such noise, a buffer air chamber can be added to the air path that is prone to produce airflow sound, that is, the capacity of the air path is relatively increased, thereby reducing the airflow speed and suppressing the noise; in addition, porous or flocculent substances such as sponge, cotton, fabric, etc. can be added to the air path and air port to suppress the generation of noise.
[0195] Overall, the dual-purpose pillow has multiple air bags, that is, when needed, certain or several specific air bags are inflated or deflated to adjust the height of the pillow surface.
[0196] The following uses "blue lines" to represent the arrangement of the air pipe line, and "black lines" to represent the connection of electrical signals (control, drive, communication, etc. Electrical signals). Specifically, the air path control logic of the pillow realized by the two schemes is described.
[0197] As shown in Figure 26 and Figure 29, two different schemes, the main difference in charge and discharge control logic, the common point is that both schemes can be better energy consumption, to achieve high frequency (hundreds, thousands of Hz) real-time acquisition of air pump gas path and air bag pressure value. High frequency real-time acquisition of air pump gas path and air bag pressure value can more accurately reflect the real pillow state, can be timely fine control, better user experience.
[0198] For the energy consumption of the implementation scheme, define "unit energy consumption" as the power consumption of the corresponding power consumption component in the minimum unit time of power-on work, here the unit time energy consumption of the circuit board is W B , the energy consumption of the air pump is W Q , the unit time energy consumption of an electromagnetic valve is W BF and W TF correspond to BF type and TF type electromagnetic valves respectively. In actual use, the power consumption of the two types of electromagnetic valves can be equal, and here the distinction is mainly to make it clearer to see which type of electromagnetic valve is used when describing the power consumption of the scheme.
[0199] Compared with the air pump and the electromagnetic valve, the energy consumption of the control circuit board is the core function, and its energy consumption is necessary. Here, the energy consumption and the required working time of the air pump and the electromagnetic valve are described to describe the overall energy consumption. The power consumption of the electromagnetic valve used in this type of pillow is about 1-1.5 watts, and the current during power-on is about 300mA-400mA. Therefore, with the increase of the electromagnetic valve, the more electromagnetic valves that are powered on in unit time, the greater the overall power consumption of the pillow; different implementation schemes require different numbers of electromagnetic valves to be powered on, which can more intuitively reflect the power consumption advantage of the scheme.
[0200] In this application, one air bag corresponds to one electromagnetic valve for individual control, but the working state time of the electromagnetic valve is only the on-off time, such as Figures 26 to 28 Due to the setting of the one-way valve, there is no need for the electromagnetic valve to be in a high energy consumption state for a long time.
[0201] The dual-purpose pillow of the application has two functions: one is height adjustment, i.e. lifting control, and the other is snoring prevention.
[0202] One is lifting control or height control, i.e. adjusting the overall height of the pillow surface according to whether the user is lying flat or lying on one side; due to the structural characteristics of most human bodies, the pillow height is usually desired to be higher when lying on one side due to the shoulder, and the pillow height is desired to be lower when lying flat.
[0203] One is snoring prevention, i.e. adjusting one or more air bags on both sides near the position corresponding to the user's head to be inflated or deflated according to whether the user snores, to achieve the way of inhibiting snoring by making the user's head lean to the left or right.
[0204] If only the first function is considered, the simplest and lowest power consumption can be achieved by using one air bag to inflate and deflate. However, if both functions are to be realized simultaneously, a scheme based on multiple air bags is required, in which the air path and electromagnetic valves are reasonably matched.
[0205] In the present application, both functions are realized and reasonable power consumption balance is achieved.
[0206] As Figures 26 to 28 in the embodiments, the inflation and deflation logic realized by the scheme is that multiple air bags are inflated simultaneously, but deflated independently. Figures 26 to 28 In the embodiments, the air flow direction marked with 1 is the inflation air flow direction, and the direction marked with 2 is the air bag deflation air flow direction.
[0207] The energy consumption of the scheme in a specified time period can be represented by the following formula:
[0208]
[0209] where H t is the specified time period, h qj is the jth time slice of the air pump in the specified H t time period, because the air pump is powered on only when the air bag needs to be inflated, h bfi is the cumulative time of the ith electromagnetic valve in the specified time period H t , and n is the total number of air bags.
[0210] As Figures 26 to 28 shown in the embodiments, the air pump gas delivery pipeline to each air bag is connected through a check valve, i.e., a one-way valve. The pipeline branch from the check valve to the air bag is divided into two paths, one of which is connected to the independent air pressure detection sensor of the main control board for detecting the pressure value of the corresponding air bag, and the other of which is connected to an A or B port of the BF type electromagnetic valve. The other port of the electromagnetic valve serves as the air outlet for deflation. Figure 26 The air outlet of the electromagnetic valve corresponding to each air bag can be independently deflated. Figure 27 The air outlets of the electromagnetic valves corresponding to each air bag can also be connected together. Figure 28 The air outlets of the electromagnetic valves corresponding to each air bag are first connected to a check valve and then connected together.
[0211] As Figures 26 to 28 shown in the embodiments, for the aforementioned lifting function:
[0212] When the pillow needs to be raised as a whole, all solenoid valves are not powered, so only the control circuit and the air pump work during this period, and all solenoid valves do not work. The main control panel controls the air pump to work to deliver air flow through the control logic interface. At this time, because the BF type solenoid valve is not powered, the air bag has only one air inlet path, and each air bag will be inflated. When the specified pressure value is reached, the process stops, and the air pump and solenoid valve no longer work. If the length of this stage is h u , the energy consumption in this stage is W B h u + W Q h u .
[0213] When the pillow needs to be lowered as a whole, the air pump stops working, and the BF type solenoid valve corresponding to each air bag is powered. The length of this stage is h d , and the energy consumption in this stage is W B h d + nW BF h d .
[0214] When the air pressure of the air bag is released to a certain limit, the pillow surface reaches the desired height, and all solenoid valves are not powered, so the corresponding air bag no longer deflates. At this time, only the control circuit board maintains a working state. The stage after the air is inflated to the desired pressure value and the stage after the deflation reaches the desired pressure value is defined as an idle stage. The length of this stage is h idle , and the energy consumption in this stage is W B h idle .
[0215] It can be easily seen that the main power consumption stages are h u and h d , especially for multiple air bags, the power consumption of h d is the highest. In practical applications, the process of deflating to lower the height of the air bag accounts for a very small proportion of the entire sleep stage, and the length of the inflation stage h u is mainly related to the frequency of changes in sleeping posture during the user's sleep process.
[0216] As Figures 26 to 28 , in the embodiment, for the need to stop snoring:
[0217] When the control panel detects that the user is snoring and needs to adjust the height of a specific air bag, since the current scheme is to inflate all air bags when the air pump is delivering air, in order to form a change in the height of the pillow surface, a certain height difference needs to be formed. Therefore, the air bag needs to be inflated to a certain height first, i.e., h su length is required to make all air bags reach the specified pressure value, and the energy consumption in this stage is W B h su + (WQ +nW BF )h su .
[0218] Then deflate the specific one or more airbags to a certain height, so as to form a height difference with other airbags not deflated. The main control board controls the BF solenoid valve connected to the corresponding airbag to be powered on through the control logic interface, and the two air ports of the BF solenoid valve are connected. When the pressure in the corresponding airbag is higher than the outside, the airbag is deflated. The number of electromagnetic valves corresponding to the airbag to be deflated is a, and the energy consumption at this stage is W B h sd +aW BF h sd .
[0219] After the snoring intervention is implemented, the lifting mode is restored.
[0220] It can be seen that the energy consumption in the snoring stopping state is mainly related to the number of detected snoring times, the inflation time h su of a single intervention implementation, the number of BF solenoid valves participating in deflation a, and h sd . Usually a is one or two, that is, one or two airbags near the head are deflated.
[0221] In addition, the snoring stopping mode of the scheme can only deflate the specific airbag after inflating all the airbags, so if you want to adjust the height of the specific airbag multiple times, the efficiency is low, that is, the total air volume required for inflating multiple airbags is high, and under the same air flow, the inflation time required is long.
[0222] Different deflation port connection options are mainly engineering implementation considerations and user experience needs.
[0223] For example Figure 26 , the deflation port of each airbag is independently deflated and not connected together; or for example Figure 27 , the deflation port of each airbag is connected together for exhaust; or for example Figure 28 , the deflation port of each airbag is connected together for exhaust after passing through a check valve; the user's feeling of lying on a pillow is the same; mainly in engineering to reduce the airflow sound during deflation as much as possible, an silencer accessory is added to the air port; the silencer accessory includes porous or fluffy materials such as sponge, cotton, fabric, or a special exhaust silencer; therefore, the difference is whether to install one silencer accessory or multiple silencer accessories, in addition, the exhaust speed will also be slightly different, and the independent deflation is faster.
[0224] For example Figures 29 to 31The air charging and discharging logic realized by the scheme is that the air bags can be independently inflated and deflated. Figures 29 to 31 The air flow direction of the air charging includes two sections, from the air pump to the air valve, and from the air valve to the air bag; the air flow direction of the air discharging is from the air bag to the air valve and then to the outside atmosphere.
[0225] As shown in Figures 26 to 28 As shown in Figures 29 to 31 The air pressure sensor in the main control board is the aforementioned air pressure sensor. In addition to each air bag being connected to an independent air pressure sensor, the air pump is also connected to an air pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the air pump in various states.
[0226] The energy consumption of the scheme in a specified time period can be represented by the following formula:
[0227]
[0228] Where H t is the specified time period, h qj is the length of the jth time slice in which the air pump is powered on in the specified H t time period, k is the total number of time slices in which the air pump is powered on in the specified H t time period, h bf is the cumulative time in which the BF-type solenoid valve is powered on in the specified time period H t , n is the total number of air bags, and h tfi is the cumulative time in which the ith TF-type solenoid valve is powered on in the specified time period H t .
[0229] As shown in Figure 30, the gas pipeline of the air pump to each air bag can be connected to a check valve and then connected to a TF type electromagnetic valve. The check valve can be installed in the connection between the TF type electromagnetic valve and the air bag. If the check valve is not installed, the gas paths of the air bags will be connected when the TF type electromagnetic valves of two or more air bags are powered on. If the check valve is installed, the above situation will not occur. The installation of the check valve can prevent the air pressure in two or more air bags from being rapidly reduced due to the balance of air pressure when the air bag that has been inflated is connected to another air bag or multiple air bags that have not been inflated. If the check valve is not installed, the above problem may occur, although it does not affect the overall function, but it may occasionally cause a poor experience. After the TF type electromagnetic valve, in the on state of the electromagnetic valve, one gas port is connected to the input gas port, i.e., the air pump can be connected to the air bag and connected to the air pressure sensing device of the main control board. Another gas port of the TF type electromagnetic valve is connected to the gas port connected to the air bag in the off state of the electromagnetic valve, serving as the air release path of the air bag.
[0230] As Figures 29 to 31 In the embodiment, for the lifting function requirement:
[0231] When the entire pillow surface needs to be raised, all n TF type electromagnetic valves corresponding to the air bags need to be powered on, and the BF type electromagnetic valve is not powered on, so that the air flow of the air pump can enter the corresponding air bag until the specified pressure value corresponding to the height is reached. The duration of this stage is h u The energy consumption in this stage is W B h u +W Q h u +nW TF h u Compared with the first scheme of Figures 26 to 28 , the n electromagnetic valves work in this stage, and the energy consumption is much higher.
[0232] When the h u stage ends, i.e., the air bag pressure value reaches the expected value, the air pump stops working, and all electromagnetic valves are not powered on. Although the TF type electromagnetic valve is not powered on, it can open the air release path of the air bag, but because of the existence of the BF type electromagnetic valve, the gas path is closed when the BF type electromagnetic valve is not powered on, so that all air bags can be maintained without air release.
[0233] When the entire pillow surface needs to be lowered, only the BF type electromagnetic valve needs to be powered on, i.e., the duration of this stage is h d The energy consumption in this stage is W B h d +W BF h dCompared to the first scheme where n solenoid valves operate, only one solenoid valve operates in this stage, resulting in much lower energy consumption.
[0234] like Figures 29 to 31 In the embodiments, regarding the need for anti-snoring:
[0235] When the control panel detects snoring and needs to adjust the height of a specific airbag, it first deflates all airbags to their lowest height, then opens the TF-type solenoid valve corresponding to the specific airbag to inflate it. The duration of this phase is recorded as h. su If the number of TF-type solenoid valves corresponding to the airbags involved in inflation is 'a', then the energy consumption in this stage is W. B h su +aW TF h su .
[0236] When the height of the inflated airbag needs to be lowered to deflate it, the TF-type solenoid valve corresponding to the airbag is de-energized, and the BF-type solenoid valve in the deflation path is energized. Let the duration of this stage be h. sd Then the energy consumption in this stage is W. B h sd +W BF h sd Compared to Option 1, the energy consumption at this stage is also lower.
[0237] and Figures 29 to 31 Compared to the previous embodiment, Figure 34 The advantage of this embodiment lies mainly in the anti-snoring implementation stage, because it can inflate or deflate a designated airbag, making the overall inflation and deflation efficiency much higher.
[0238] Currently, there are two main types of smart pillows on the market: adjustable pillows and anti-snoring pillows. No product currently available combines both functions. Adjustable pillows on the market primarily use a single airbag, so we won't compare them here. As for anti-snoring pillows, if they cannot detect sleeping posture, they lack the height adjustment function based on sleeping posture, which is different from the function of this invention. Figure 32 The main differences in the embodiments are twofold. One is that head position detection is accomplished by a pressure sensor placed directly below the airbag, while the present invention is accomplished by combining changes in airbag pressure and pressure sensors placed on the shoulder or under the body. The other difference is that the present invention adds a BF-type solenoid valve and a check valve, with the BF-type solenoid valve playing the most important role. The addition of this component enables the combined function of lifting and snoring prevention with lower energy consumption.
[0239] If Figure 33If the BF type electromagnetic valve in the embodiment is removed, it can be seen that for the lifting function, if all the air bags are inflated and it is desired to keep all the air bags at the current height without deflation, all the TF type electromagnetic valves need to be continuously powered on, and the time for maintaining the height is h hold The energy consumption of this stage is W B h h old +nW TF h h old The current of one electromagnetic valve is about 300mA, and if there are five electromagnetic valves, the current is 1.5A, which is obviously not practical to maintain for a long time under such a high current.
[0240] The two-purpose pillow provided by the application has a high cost performance, and can realize lifting and snoring stopping.
[0241] If the check valve is optionally added to the deflation passage, it can be seen that if the check valve is not added, the deflation passages of multiple air bags are connected, when the pressure value of one air bag is higher, if the three-way electromagnetic valves of the air bag with low pressure and the air bag with high pressure are all powered off, and their deflation passages are all opened, the air of the air bag with high pressure will flow to the air bag with low pressure, and the user will feel that the heights of the air bags are averaged in a short time, if the pressure difference of the air bags is large, the user will feel a falling sensation. After the check valve is added, this situation will not occur.
[0242] The pressure sensing belt is a relatively independent module or accessory, and is electrically connected to the main control board through an external interface to realize data interaction, and is a necessary module included in the smallest system introduced in the application. The number of sensing points m of the pressure sensing belt in the "row" direction is greater than the number n of air bags, and more preferably at least 2n≤m.
[0243] Further, for the distribution of the air bags, the form of Figure 32 can also be used. In actual application, the air bags Q1-Q i The air bags Q1-Qn in the first row correspond to the position of the user's head on the pillow, and the air bags Qi+1-Qn in the second row correspond to the position of the user's neck on the pillow. When i is equal to n, there is only one row of air bags, and when i+1 is equal to n, there is only one air bag in the second row.
[0244] For example, Figure 33 and Figure 31A control method of an air pillow, the air pillow comprising a main control module, a plurality of independent air bags, a plurality of pressure sensors, and an ADC converter; a pressure sensing end of a pressure sensor is in communication with an air bag, and the pressure sensor is used to obtain the pressure of the independent air bag; the ADC converter is in electrical signal connection with the pressure sensor; the main control module is in electrical signal connection with the ADC converter; the main control module obtains the pressure data of the pressure sensor, i.e., the pressure data in the corresponding air bag, through the ADC converter; the main control module analyzes and obtains the key air bag currently supporting the head according to all the obtained air bag pressure data; and the main control module controls the ADC converter to improve the sampling frequency and sampling accuracy of the pressure sensor in communication with the key air bag. The ADC converter can be an ADC on a MCU or CPU or other type of processor in the main control module or an independently arranged external ADC converter. The above control process can be completed by the main controller.
[0245] As Figure 35 and Figure 32 A control method of an air pillow, the air pillow comprising a main control module, a plurality of independent air bags, a plurality of pressure sensors, an A group of ADC converters, and a B group of ADC converters; a pressure sensing end of a pressure sensor is in communication with an air bag, and the pressure sensor is used to obtain the pressure of the independent air bag; an A multiplexer is in electrical signal connection with the A group of ADC converters; a B multiplexer is in electrical signal connection with the B group of ADC converters; the plurality of pressure sensors are in electrical signal connection with the A group of ADC converters through the A multiplexer; the plurality of pressure sensors are in electrical signal connection with the B group of ADC converters through the B multiplexer; the main control module controls the corresponding pressure sensor to be in electrical signal connection with the A group of ADC converters through the control of the A multiplexer, so as to obtain the pressure data of the corresponding pressure sensor, i.e., the pressure data in the corresponding air bag; the main control module analyzes and obtains the key air bag currently supporting the head according to all the obtained air bag pressure data; the main control module controls the corresponding pressure sensor to be in electrical signal connection with the B group of ADC converters through the control of the B multiplexer, so as to obtain the pressure data of the corresponding pressure sensor of the key air bag, i.e., the pressure data in the key air bag; the AD conversion accuracy of the B group of ADC converters is higher than that of the A group of ADC converters; and the sampling frequency of the B group of ADC converters is also higher than that of the A group of ADC converters. The A multiplexer and the B multiplexer are multiple selection devices and can be controlled by the main control module. Each time, one channel is connected, i.e., the output of one pressure sensor is input to the ADC after being amplified by an amplifier.
[0246] The number of key air bags that support the head is relatively small, usually 1-2, relative to the total number of air bags, so the connection switching between the B multiplexer and the B group of ADC converters can be more frequent, thereby obtaining a higher sampling frequency. To perform more in-depth physiological signal correlation analysis based on the pressure signals of the air bags, the B multiplexer and the B group of ADC converters can obtain a higher upper limit of the sampling frequency than the A multiplexer and the A group of ADC converters.
[0247] Figure 33 and Figure 36 , further comprising a pressure sensor array; the pressure sensor array is arranged below the air bags or arranged on one side of the air pillow body; the master control module and the pressure sensor array are electrically connected to obtain pressure array data; the master control module analyzes the obtained pressure array data to obtain the key air bag currently supporting the head; or the master control module jointly analyzes the obtained pressure array data and all air bag pressure data to obtain the key air bag currently supporting the head.
[0248] As Figure 37 and Figure 36 , the key air bag has multiple; the B multiplexer switches in turn, and each time the pressure sensor of one key air bag is electrically connected to the B group of ADC converters for pressure data sampling; based on the key air bag pressure data obtained by the B group of ADC converters, weak vibration signal analysis, snoring correlation analysis, pulse wave signal extraction, and heart rate signal analysis are performed.
[0249] Sleep posture and head position analysis are performed based on the pressure value data set of the pressure detection belt and the multiple air bags. For example, the pressure detection belt is placed between the user's shoulders and the back, and the pressure detection belt has 1 row and 16 columns, i.e., [1, 16]. When the user lies flat, the pressure distribution pattern is as shown in Figure 37 When the user lies on one side, the pressure distribution pattern is as shown in Figure 35
[0250] As Figures 31 to 35 and Figure 33 can be seen, the user will exhibit a relatively obvious pressure distribution on the pressure detection belt when lying flat and lying on one side, which can be used for preliminary sleep posture judgment by using a classic algorithm (such as analyzing the slope, inflection point, and corner point distribution relationship) or an artificial intelligence method (constructing a simple artificial neural network and collecting the data set of lying flat and lying on one side as a training set). At the same time, the pressure distribution data of the pressure detection belt can also be used for preliminary head position judgment.
[0251] As Figure 33 The pressure detection belt and the multi-air bag used as the pressure sensing array are placed horizontally and symmetrically left and right; the position index calculation formula of the key air bag currently supporting the head according to the pressure sensing array data analysis is Idx head n is the total number of air bags, m is the number of pressure sensing points of the pressure detection belt, and Pi is the pressure value corresponding to the i-th sensing point of the pressure detection belt; when Idx head is not n, Idx head and Idx head +1 are selected as the key air bag indexes corresponding to the head position.
[0252] As Figure 32 , it also includes an air pump, and pressure data in the air bag is collected during the inflation and deflation of the air pump; the main control module analyzes and obtains the key air bag currently supporting the head according to the obtained pressure data of all air bags during inflation and deflation.
[0253] The pressure detection belt obtains the pressure change data of the user's neck, shoulders, and back, and as a relatively independent accessory, the pressure sensing belt on the market is generally divided into resistance type and capacitance type from the manufacturing process. The relative sensitivity of the resistance type is relatively low, but it can continuously reflect the absolute size of the pressure, and the sensing sensitivity of the capacitance type is high, but it mainly reflects the pressure change information. In actual application, according to different needs, one kind can be used alone or in combination.
[0254] The pressure sensor corresponds to the pressure of the n air bags and the initial airway part of the air pump, and the pressure detection of the initial airway part of the air pump is mainly to prevent airway blockage or accidental triggering of the air pump. When the subsequent air path is not connected to the air bag, the pressure in the air path will increase rapidly, causing the pipe connection to be disconnected or the vibration noise to increase when the air pump is under high load.
[0255] A multi-channel selector, i.e., multi-channel selector 1, and ADC1, i.e., A group ADC converter; B multi-channel selector, i.e., multi-channel selector 2, and ADC2, i.e., B group ADC converter; multi-channel selector 1 and its corresponding ADC1 mainly perform real-time detection on the pressure of n+1 air paths. Considering the potential number of air bags, the more the number of air bags, the more time is needed for switching through multi-channel selection. At the same time, considering that the data acquisition of ADC1 needs a build-up time after channel switching, the maximum sampling frequency of each channel will be limited accordingly. Therefore, two sets of ADC channels are designed, multi-channel selector 2 and its corresponding ADC2 mainly perform high-frequency and high-resolution signal acquisition on the pressure of a specific air bag or a few air bags. The specific process is as follows ADC1 can be a common 10-bit ADC, and ADC2 can be a higher resolution 12-bit or higher ADC.
[0256] As , an audio DAC and corresponding audio output driver and speaker can be set as device voice prompt or intervention implementation components. An audio acquisition ADC and corresponding audio amplification and audio acquisition sensor can be set as sound detection components, mainly for detecting user snoring. An electromagnetic valve and air pump driver can be used to enable the MCU to issue control signals to implement the desired action on the corresponding components. A data storage module can be used to save detected user physiological data.
[0257] As , the main control board includes an MCU; it also includes an external interface, which includes various electrical connections and wired communication (such as serial ports, parallel ports, SPI, I 2 2C, etc.) and wireless communication interfaces (Bluetooth, wifi, NFC, 3G, 4G, 5G, etc.). For example, in the following example, on the one hand, the pressure detection belt communicates with the main control board through the serial port and reports the detected pressure array data; on the other hand, the mobile phone app can communicate with the main control board through Bluetooth or wifi, set user parameters, obtain setting information, detection and analysis data, and the main control board can also indirectly establish a data exchange channel with the cloud server through the mobile phone app; in addition, the main control board can also directly send or obtain setting information, detection, analysis data, etc. through the mobile communication module through 3G, 4G, 5G, etc. mobile communication protocols to the cloud server.
[0258] After the control board is powered on and started, it sets and starts data collection on the external interface, multi-channel selector 1, ADC1, and at the same time obtains data from the pressure detection belt through the external interface and obtains audio data through the audio acquisition channel.
[0259] According to the pressure value data set of the pressure detection belt and the multiple air bags, sleep posture and head position analysis is performed.
[0260] According to the detected head position, it is determined which or which several air bags corresponding to the head position need to be opened for high-frequency high-resolution data collection of the pressure, usually 1-2, so as to set the multi-channel selector 2 and the ADC2 to start high-frequency high-resolution data collection.
[0261] For the acquired data of ADC2, combined with the data of ADC1 and the pressure detection belt, it can be used to analyze the weak physiological signals formed by the head pressure on the corresponding air bag, such as heart rate analysis, pulse wave extraction, etc. Combined with audio data, the data of snoring, weak high-frequency vibration data transmitted to the air bag, and pressure change data of the pressure detection belt can be integrated to realize snoring detection, which is more advantageous than analyzing only from sound or pressure change.
[0262] According to the analysis result, corresponding intervention measures are implemented, such as adjusting the height of the pillow according to the sleeping position information, and adjusting the local height of the pillow according to snoring. If the lifting and snoring intervention conditions are triggered at the same time, one of them can be implemented according to the user preference setting. In actual application, when the snoring intervention function is turned on, the snoring intervention is given priority by default.
[0263] In terms of data analysis algorithm, there are too many excellent algorithms in the prior art that can be referred to, and the present application will not be repeated. In general, it can be divided into classical methods and artificial intelligence methods. For the most rapidly developing and applied artificial intelligence method at present, the proportion of data acquisition and training to the contribution of algorithm results is becoming larger and larger.
[0264] The training data can be obtained by wearing corresponding medical equipment during the use of the pillow. For example, by using PSG system to obtain sleep staging, apnea, sleep disorders, etc., other similar physiological data such as pulse wave, heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and nasal breath can be obtained. Further, medical workers, experts, and scholars in the relevant field can be invited to further label the data. The overall system framework from data formation to analysis and real-time intervention is described in the application "Purpose-oriented physiological intervention method and system", application number 2022112052232.
[0265] In summary, the analysis method of the present application can obtain multi-dimensional user physiological data information, so as to implement more accurate and effective intervention on the user. For example, when the person who rests in the same room as the user snores, instead of the user himself, the pillow analyzes the snoring sound through sound collection, but through the data of the air bag and the pressure belt, the user does not have the vibration characteristics associated with snoring, so in this case, no intervention is implemented.
[0266] The data acquisition and intervention method can be completed by connecting corresponding modules through external data interface. For example, in addition to the current air bag inflation and deflation, a loudspeaker can be connected to play sound, a wireless or wired atomizer, an electronic incense burner, etc.
[0267] The dual-purpose pillow in the application proposes two air path connection and management methods, which can realize the lifting and snoring stopping adjustment of the pillow with multiple air bags, that is, the pillow surface angle changing function, at a high cost performance. In the application, an implementation scheme of independent high-frequency collection of air path pressure of multiple air bags is proposed, which lays a foundation for analyzing and obtaining more detailed user physiological data in the time dimension.
[0268] In the application, a scheme of independent detection of multiple independent air paths including the air pump air path is proposed, which can control the fault occurrence probability in the actual production, user use and after-sales process, and quickly locate the fault point in the air path. In the application, multi-dimensional data comprehensive correlation analysis can be performed to reduce false triggering intervention and improve intervention effect and sleep quality.
[0269] The multi-air bag pillow air valve assembly in the application has at least two air valves, the valve head includes a P port and an A port; the P1 and P2 branch air paths of the P port are in communication; the A port of the QFA air valve is used to connect an external air source; the P1 port of the QFA air valve and the P1 port of the QFB air valve are used to connect external air bags. The combination of multiple air valves saves space, optimizes the air path connection relationship, and facilitates individual control of multiple air bags. The dual-purpose air pillow and the control method based on the above multi-air bag pillow air valve assembly can be used for snoring stopping and height adjustment; in the height lifting control mode, multiple air bags are inflated or deflated to control the height; in the snoring stopping mode, according to external instructions, the specified air bag can be individually inflated and deflated.
[0270] In the air pillow of the application, the pressure data of the air bag internal pressure sensor or pressure sensor array can be used to identify the key air bag, and the internal pressure of the key air bag can be sampled at a higher quality, thereby providing a data basis for subsequent in-depth and detailed pressure data application.
[0271] Although the application is described and illustrated according to the preferred embodiments and several alternative schemes, the application will not be limited by the specific description in the specification. Other additional alternatives or equivalent components can also be used to practice the application.
