Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of anti-snoring technology, specifically relating to a portable magnetic anti-snoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Snoring not only disturbs others' rest but can also affect the snorer's sleep quality. Prolonged snoring can lead to sleep disorders, daytime sleepiness, and difficulty concentrating. Using a magnetic anti-snoring device can improve these symptoms and thus enhance overall sleep quality. A magnetic anti-snoring device is a device that uses magnetic fields to reduce or stop snoring. It is typically suitable for snoring caused by airway obstruction. Compared to traditional surgical or drug treatments, magnetic anti-snoring devices offer a non-invasive and convenient treatment option. It requires no surgery and has no drug side effects, making it suitable for many people with mild to moderate snoring.

[0003] Existing magnetic anti-snoring devices often use flexible dental brace materials and incorporate built-in magnetic elements. These elements generate a stable magnetic field that acts on the wearer's jaw or head. During wear, the magnetic field can adjust the wearer's head posture, keeping it at a certain angle to prevent the tongue or soft palate from collapsing, thus maintaining an open airway and avoiding snoring caused by airway obstruction. However, if the snoring is caused by other more serious health problems (such as sleep apnea syndrome), existing magnetic anti-snoring devices may not provide sufficient effectiveness. Furthermore, the causes and symptoms of snoring vary from person to person, resulting in inconsistent effectiveness of magnetic anti-snoring devices. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a portable magnetic anti-snoring device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a portable magnetic anti-snoring device, including several dental kits, which are arranged in two sets of mirror images. The two sets of dental kits arranged in mirror images are the upper dental kit and the lower dental kit. The dental kits are arranged in a fan-shaped structure, and through slots are opened on both sides of the top of the dental kits. Permanent magnets are arranged in the through slots and are bonded to the dental kits. A through hole is opened on one side of the dental kits, and an adaptive dental kit adjustment component is arranged in the through hole to fit the teeth and oral structure of users with different tooth shapes. A mandibular trigger bracket component is installed on the side of the adaptive dental kit adjustment component away from the dental kits to adaptively adjust the position of the mandible.

[0006] With the above technical solution, when the magnetic field effect on users with severe snoring is insufficient, the fan system and adjustment mechanism will come into play. The exhaled airflow drives the fan to rotate, and then adjusts the relative position of the lower jaw and upper jaw through the adjustment plate and connecting rod. This dynamic adjustment system can help users keep the lower jaw in an appropriate parallel position, thereby reducing the possibility of the tongue falling back and further ensuring the patency of the upper airway.

[0007] Furthermore, the adaptive brace adjustment assembly includes two main gears, which are arranged in a mirror image. A first toothed plate is driven to both sides of the main gears, and a second toothed plate is driven to the end of the first toothed plate away from the main gear. At the same time, a secondary gear is driven to the end of the second toothed plate away from the first toothed plate. A third toothed plate is driven to the side of the secondary gear away from the second toothed plate, and a fourth toothed plate is driven to the end of the third toothed plate away from the secondary gear.

[0008] By employing the above technical solution, the device can be adjusted via a knob to adapt to different oral structures, thus avoiding the need for completely different devices to be customized for each user and significantly reducing production and manufacturing costs.

[0009] Furthermore, the first toothed plate, the second toothed plate, the auxiliary gear, the third toothed plate, and the fourth toothed plate have extension plates welded to the side facing the tooth kit, and the extension plates of the first toothed plate, the second toothed plate, the auxiliary gear, the third toothed plate, and the fourth toothed plate are located in the through hole. At the same time, the extension plates of the first toothed plate, the second toothed plate, the auxiliary gear, the third toothed plate, and the fourth toothed plate are rotatably connected to the tooth kit, and the two ends of the first toothed plate, the second toothed plate, the third toothed plate, and the fourth toothed plate are set with a semi-circular structure.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the synergistic effect of the permanent magnet, fan, and gear system forms a multi-mechanism, combining magnetic field action and mechanical adjustment. This not only treats snoring from both static and dynamic perspectives but also provides appropriate support for different degrees of snoring, ensuring the broad applicability and personalization of the therapeutic effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the main gear is provided with a number of connecting plates at its top and bottom, and the connecting plates are rotatably connected to each other. At the same time, the center of the main gear and the auxiliary gear are rotatably connected to the connection end between the two connecting plates. The center of the two ends of the first tooth plate, the second tooth plate, the third tooth plate and the fourth tooth plate are rotatably connected to the other end away from the connection end between the two connecting plates.

[0012] The above technical solutions can be customized according to each user's tooth shape and bite, making the device more suitable for the individual's oral structure. This personalized design helps to improve wearing comfort and ensures that the jaw position is properly supported, thereby more effectively alleviating snoring problems.

[0013] Furthermore, two rotating plates are rotatably connected to the top and bottom of the center of the first tooth plate located on both sides of the main gear, and the two rotating plates are rotatably connected to each other at the other end away from the first tooth plate. At the same time, a first connecting rod is rotatably connected between the rotating plates located at the top and bottom of the first tooth plate.

[0014] The above technical solutions can make braces fit the user's teeth and oral structure better, reducing discomfort caused by wearing unsuitable equipment. For users with different tooth shapes, adjusting the curvature can avoid excessive pressure on the teeth, reduce discomfort in the teeth and gums, and enhance the user's long-term wearing experience.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the first connecting rod is provided with a U-shaped connector, which limits the rotation plate located at the top and bottom of the main gear. At the same time, the rotation plate is slidably connected to the connector. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to one side of the connector, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod. Meanwhile, a knob is rotatably connected to the side of the connector away from the first connecting rod, and the threaded rod and the knob are threadedly connected.

[0016] The above-mentioned technical solutions can better fit the teeth and jaw, more effectively adjust the position of the jaw, keep the airway open, and help relieve snoring caused by airway narrowing or blockage.

[0017] Furthermore, the mandibular trigger bracket assembly includes a fixing rod and a fixing plate. The fixing rod is fixedly connected to the connector inside the upper brace, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the connector inside the lower brace. An adjusting plate is rotatably connected to one end of the fixing rod away from the connector, and a protruding plate is rotatably connected to the other end of the adjusting plate. A second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the protruding plate. The end of the second connecting rod away from the protruding plate is rotatably connected to the end of the fixing plate away from the connector. Fans are fixedly connected to both ends of the second connecting rod.

[0018] The above technical solutions can avoid side effects caused by wearing unsuitable devices, such as tooth pain and gum pressure. By adjusting the contact surface between the braces and the oral cavity, the burden on the oral structure is reduced, thus lowering the potential risks to dental health.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention allows the user to hold the connector with one hand and then rotate the knobs of the upper and lower dental braces respectively, thereby causing the threaded rod to rotate and move in one direction at the same time, thereby pulling the first connecting rod to move synchronously. The rotating plates located at the top and bottom of the main gear rotate relative to each other, causing the first tooth plates on both sides of the main gear to move along the circumference of the main gear. Under the action of the connecting plate, the second tooth plates, auxiliary gear, third tooth plates and fourth tooth plates on both sides of the main gear rotate relative to each other synchronously, thereby causing the second tooth plates, auxiliary gear, third tooth plates and fourth tooth plates on both sides of the main gear to bend towards the main gear. Then the user can put the whole device into the oral cavity, put the teeth into the dental kit, and the dental kit rotates relative to the components such as the second tooth plate, auxiliary gear, third tooth plate and fourth tooth plate. It can be dynamically adjusted according to the user's oral cavity structure, without the need to customize the device for each user. This design ensures that the device can adapt to different oral cavity conditions, not only reducing production costs, but also ensuring the comfortable wearing experience of each user, reducing the need for personalized customization.

[0020] (2) This invention utilizes the increased nasal exhalation airflow when the user snores to drive the fan to rotate. With the cooperation of the second connecting rod, the convex plate rotates synchronously with the fan. This causes the adjusting plate to rotate relative to the convex plate, and the adjusting plate to rotate relative to the fixed rod, pulling the fixed rod towards the second connecting rod. Under the action of the threaded rod, the components on one side of the first connecting rod move synchronously, thereby making the user's lower jaw parallel to the upper jaw and achieving dynamic adjustment. The function of dynamically adjusting the position of the lower jaw can not only respond to different sleeping postures or physiological changes of the user in real time during use, but also avoid discomfort caused by wearing it for a long time. This dynamic adaptability ensures the comfort and efficiency of the device and helps to improve the treatment effect. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0031] like Figures 1-8 As shown in this embodiment, a portable magnetic anti-snoring device includes several dental kits 11, which are arranged in two mirror images. The two sets of dental kits 11 are designated as upper and lower dental kits, which can be used inverted. When in use, the user can bite down on several dental kits 11 on one side of the connector 29 with the lower teeth, thereby moving the jaw forward. The dental kits 11 are arranged in a fan shape, and through slots 12 are provided on both sides of the top of the dental kits 11. Permanent magnets 13 are provided in the through slots 12 and are bonded to the dental kits 11. A through hole 14 is provided on one side of the dental kits 11, and an adaptive dental kit adjustment component 2 is provided in the through hole 14 to fit the teeth and oral structure of users with different tooth shapes.

[0032] like Figures 2-8As shown, the adaptive brace adjustment assembly 2 includes two main gears 21, which are mirror-shaped. When the magnetic field effect on a user with severe snoring is insufficient, the fan 36 system and adjustment mechanism will activate. The exhaled airflow drives the fan 36 to rotate, thereby adjusting the relative position of the lower jaw and upper jaw through the adjustment plate 33 and connecting rod. This dynamic adjustment system helps the user keep the lower jaw in a proper parallel position, thereby reducing the possibility of the tongue falling back and further ensuring the patency of the upper airway. Several connecting plates 27 are provided at the top and bottom of the main gears 21, and the connecting plates 27 are rotatably connected in pairs. At the same time, the main gears 26 and 27 are rotatably connected in pairs. The center of the main gear 21 and the auxiliary gear 24 are rotatably connected to the connecting end between the two connecting plates 27. The top and bottom of the center of the first tooth plate 22 located on both sides of the main gear 21 are rotatably connected to two rotating plates 28 respectively, and the other ends of the two rotating plates 28 away from the first tooth plate 22 are rotatably connected. At the same time, the first connecting rod 210 is rotatably connected between the rotating plates 28 located at the top and bottom of the first tooth plate 22. This can avoid side effects caused by wearing unsuitable equipment, such as tooth pain and gum pressure. By adjusting the contact surface between the braces and the oral cavity, the burden on the oral structure is reduced, and the potential risks to dental health are lowered.

[0033] like Figures 3-8 As shown, the top of the first connecting rod 210 is provided with a U-shaped connecting member 29, which limits the rotation plate 28 located at the top and bottom of the main gear 21. At the same time, the rotation plate 28 is slidably connected to the connecting member 29. A threaded rod 211 is threadedly connected to one side of the connecting member 29, and the threaded rod 211 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 210. Since the threaded rod 211 has a self-locking function, when the fixed rod 31 moves, it can pull the connecting member 29 to move synchronously, thereby causing the threaded rod 211 to move synchronously. This causes the components such as the first connecting rod 210 connected to one side of the threaded rod 211 to move synchronously. At the same time, a knob 212 is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting member 29 away from the first connecting rod 210. The threaded rod 211 and the knob 212 are threadedly connected. The centers of the two ends of the first toothed plate 22, the second toothed plate 23, the third toothed plate 25 and the fourth toothed plate 26 are rotatably connected to the other end away from the connection end of the two connecting plates 27.

[0034] like Figures 4-8As shown, the main gear 21 is connected to the first tooth plate 22 on both sides. The first tooth plate 22, the second tooth plate 23, the auxiliary gear 24, the third tooth plate 25, and the fourth tooth plate 26 have extension plates welded to the side facing the dental kit 11. Since the device can be adjusted by the knob 212 to adapt to different oral structures, the need for completely different devices for each user is avoided, which significantly reduces production and manufacturing costs. The extension plates of the first tooth plate 22, the second tooth plate 23, the auxiliary gear 24, the third tooth plate 25, and the fourth tooth plate 26 are located in the through hole 14. At the same time, the extension plates of the first tooth plate 22, the second tooth plate 23, the auxiliary gear 24, the third tooth plate 25, and the fourth tooth plate 26 are rotatably connected to the dental kit 11. The two ends of the first tooth plate 22, the second tooth plate 23, the third tooth plate 25, and the fourth tooth plate 26 are semi-circular. The design incorporates a first toothed plate 22 with a second toothed plate 23 connected to the end furthest from the main gear 21. This allows the braces to better fit the user's teeth and oral structure, reducing discomfort caused by improperly worn devices. For users with different tooth shapes, adjusting the curvature can prevent excessive pressure on the teeth, reducing discomfort in the teeth and gums and enhancing the user's long-term wearing experience. Simultaneously, a secondary gear 24 is connected to the end of the second toothed plate 23 furthest from the first toothed plate 22, and a third toothed plate 25 is connected to the side of the secondary gear 24 furthest from the second toothed plate 23. A fourth toothed plate 26 is connected to the end of the third toothed plate 25 furthest from the secondary gear 24. This design allows for a better fit to the teeth and jaw, enabling more effective adjustment of the jaw position, maintaining airway patency, and helping to alleviate snoring caused by airway narrowing or blockage.

[0035] like Figures 5-8 As shown, the adaptive braces adjustment component 2 has a mandibular trigger bracket component 3 installed on the side away from the braces component 11, which is used to adaptively adjust the position of the mandible. The mandibular trigger bracket component 3 includes a fixing rod 31 and a fixing plate 32. The fixing rod 31 is fixedly connected to the connector 29 in the upper braces, and the fixing plate 32 is fixedly connected to the connector 29 in the lower braces. The end of the fixing rod 31 away from the connector 29 is rotatably connected to an adjustment plate 33, and the other end of the adjustment plate 33 is rotatably connected to a protruding plate 35. The synergistic action of the permanent magnet 13, the fan 36, and the gear system forms a multi-action mechanism, combining magnetic field action and mechanical adjustment, not only from static and dynamic perspectives. This device treats snoring from both physical and mental perspectives, providing appropriate support for different degrees of snoring, ensuring broad and personalized efficacy. A second connecting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the other end of the convex plate 35. The end of the second connecting rod 34 away from the convex plate 35 is rotatably connected to the end of the fixed plate 32 away from the connector 29. Fans 36 are fixedly connected to both ends of the second connecting rod 34. This allows for customization based on each user's tooth shape and occlusion, making the device more suitable for individual oral structures. This personalized design helps improve wearing comfort and ensures proper support for the jaw, thus more effectively alleviating snoring.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Before use, the user can hold the connector 29 with one hand and then rotate the knobs 212 of the upper and lower gears respectively, thereby causing the threaded rod 211 to rotate and move in one direction simultaneously, thus pulling the first connecting rod 210 to move synchronously. The rotating plates 28 located at the top and bottom of the main gear 21 will rotate relative to each other, causing the first tooth plates 22 on both sides of the main gear 21 to move along the circumference of the main gear 21. Under the action of the connecting plate 27, the second tooth plates 23, the auxiliary gear 24, the third tooth plate 25 and the fourth tooth plate 26 on both sides of the main gear 21 will move synchronously. The relative rotation of the components causes the second tooth plate 23, the auxiliary gear 24, the third tooth plate 25, and the fourth tooth plate 26 on both sides of the main gear 21 to bend towards the main gear 21. Then, the user can place the entire device into the mouth and put the teeth into the dental kit 11. The dental kit 11 rotates relative to the components such as the second tooth plate 23, the auxiliary gear 24, the third tooth plate 25, and the fourth tooth plate 26. This allows it to adapt to different oral problems of different users, helping the device to adapt to various oral conditions. It eliminates the need to manufacture completely different devices for each user, reducing production costs while ensuring the wearing experience of each user.

[0037] When the user wears the dental kit 11 while sleeping, the permanent magnet 13 inside generates a stable magnetic field. Through the action of the magnetic field, it stimulates the muscles of the soft palate or tongue, keeping them under a certain tension and preventing the soft palate from relaxing or the tongue root from drooping, thereby reducing airway narrowing.

[0038] When the permanent magnet 13 is ineffective for users with severe snoring, the increased nasal exhalation airflow during snoring drives the fan 36 to rotate. With the cooperation of the second connecting rod 34, the convex plate 35 rotates synchronously with the fan 36. This causes the adjusting plate 33 to rotate relative to the convex plate 35, and simultaneously the adjusting plate 33 to rotate relative to the fixed rod 31, pulling the fixed rod 31 towards the second connecting rod 34. Under the action of the threaded rod 211, components such as one side of the first connecting rod 210 move synchronously, thereby aligning the user's lower jaw with the upper jaw, achieving dynamic adjustment, reducing the possibility of the tongue falling back, keeping the upper airway clear, preventing airflow obstruction, and reducing or eliminating snoring.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
