Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a side-lying, closed-mouth wearable anti-snoring sleep aid device that regulates the humidity of the breathing air. Background Technology
[0002] Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and simple snoring are common sleep disorders that not only severely affect patients' sleep quality and daytime function, but are also independent risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome. Current mainstream treatment options each have significant limitations.
[0003] First, patients with simple snoring and some OSA patients experience involuntary mouth opening due to muscle relaxation during sleep. This causes airflow to directly impact the soft tissues of the throat without being humidified or filtered by the nasal cavity, exacerbating vibration (snoring) and leading to dry mouth. While existing devices can close the patient's mouth, they cannot adapt to patients of different body sizes, resulting in varying wearing experiences among different patients.
[0004] Secondly, whether it's the built-in humidifier in an anti-snoring device or a standalone indoor humidifier, its humidity control is based on the environment, not on the individual patient's nasal mucosa condition or real-time respiratory flow. Too low humidity can irritate the nasal cavity and throat, causing defensive congestion and edema, which can worsen airway narrowing; too high humidity may lead to condensation or discomfort.
[0005] For example, Chinese patent application CN 119055433 A proposes a wearable side-lying closed-mouth anti-snoring sleep aid device. Although this patent can adjust the patient's posture and regulate air humidity, it interferes too much with the patient during the adjustment process. Even when the patient is already in a side-lying position, it still forcibly forces the patient to turn over, which greatly affects the patient's sleep quality. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a side-lying, closed-mouth wearable anti-snoring sleep aid device that regulates the humidity of the breathing air. It can adapt to patients of different body types, maintain the patient's mouth closed during sleep, and provide a prompt when the patient is lying flat and turn off the prompt when lying on their side to avoid disturbing the patient's sleep. It can also adjust the humidity of the air as needed.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the vibrating block is fixedly installed at the lower middle part of the mask, and the vibrating part of the vibrating block faces the inside of the mask and is parallel to the inner wall of the mask.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a wire A is electrically connected to the front of the vibrating block. A detection box is fixedly connected to the upper end of the wire A. The detection box is fixedly connected to the lower front of the mask, and the upper end of the wire A extends into the inner cavity of the detection box. A wire B is fixedly connected to the lower end of the detection box on the side away from the wire A. One end of the wire B extends into the inner cavity of the detection box, and the other end extends into the inner cavity of the ventilator. A connecting wire is fixedly connected to the upper end of the detection box. The two ends of the connecting wire extend into the detection box and are respectively installed on both sides of the wire A and the wire B, and are respectively positioned above the wire A and the wire B.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the detection box has a cavity in the middle, and elastic covers are fixedly connected to both sides of the cavity. An insulating rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the elastic cover away from the cavity. A power-conducting rod is fixedly connected to the end of the insulating rod away from the elastic cover. Limiting frames are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the detection box. The ends of wires A and B that extend into the inner cavity of the detection box are fixedly connected to the middle of the limiting frames. The ends of wires A and B that extend into the inner cavity of the detection box are contacted and connected to the lower end of the outer ring of the power-conducting rods on both sides. The two ends of the connecting wire are fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the two sets of limiting frames, and the two ends of the connecting wire are contacted and connected to the upper end of the outer ring of the power-conducting rods on both sides.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a cavity is provided at the lower left side of the ventilator. The adjustment section also includes a water tank, which is fixedly connected to the cavity of the ventilator. A humidifier is provided above the water tank and is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the ventilator. The inlet of the humidifier extends into the lower end of the inner cavity of the water tank, and the outlet of the humidifier is connected to a nebulizing tube. The nebulizing tube passes through the ventilator and connects to the gas delivery tube. A one-way valve is installed at the connection between the nebulizing tube and the gas delivery tube.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, an adjusting valve is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the nebulizer tube extending out of the ventilator.

A handle is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the semi-circular tube, and the handle is located at the upper end of the adjusting valve.
[0017] The technical effects achieved by this invention are as follows: The closure part of the present invention can adapt to patients of different body types and keep the patient's mouth closed during sleep. When in use, the elastic band is wrapped around the patient's lower jaw, and then the blowing component in the ventilator will drive the air bag to gradually expand, causing the air bag to gradually fit against the patient's lower jaw, and stop expanding after reaching a suitable degree of expansion, thereby using the air bag to squeeze the patient's lower jaw and keep the patient's mouth closed. The detection unit of this invention can issue a prompt when the patient is lying flat and turn off the prompt when lying on their side, so as to avoid disturbing the patient's sleep when lying on their side. When the patient is sleeping, if the patient is lying flat, the elastic covers on both sides of the inner cavity of the detection box will pull the power rod to contact the connecting wire. At this time, the wire A and the connecting wire and the wire B form a circuit, which drives the vibrating block to vibrate to prompt the patient to change sleeping position. When the patient is lying on their side, the elastic cover on the force-bearing side of the inner cavity of the detection box will push the insulating rod to replace the power rod and contact the connecting wire, so that the circuit is cut off and the vibrating block cannot operate, thus avoiding disturbing the patient's sleep. The regulating part of this invention can adjust the humidity of the air according to the needs, so as to avoid the humidity being too high or too low and affecting the patient's sleep quality. When in use, the humidifier delivers water mist into the air supply pipe to regulate the humidity of the gas. When it is necessary to control the amount of water mist delivered, the rotating part at the top of the regulating valve is rotated to control the number of air vents inside the regulating valve, thereby controlling the amount of water mist delivered and regulating the humidity of the air.

The phrase "in a preferred embodiment" appearing in different places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that mutually excludes other embodiments.
[0023] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0024] Please see the appendix Figures 1 to 2 , Figures 4 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a side-lying, closed-mouth wearable anti-snoring sleep aid device that regulates the humidity of the breathing air, including: The face mask 10 has an air supply tube 13 connected to its front side, and a ventilator 14 is connected to the lower end of the air supply tube 13. The closure part 20 includes an elastic band 21, which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mask 10, and an airbag 22 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the elastic band 21. The detection unit 30 includes a vibrating block 31 connected to the lower end of the mask 10. The vibrating block 31 is connected to a wire A32, which is connected to a detection box 33. The other side of the detection box 33 is connected to a wire B34. A connecting line 35 is provided between the wire A32 and the wire B34. An elastic cover 36 is connected inside the detection box 33. An insulating rod 37 is connected to the elastic cover 36. An electric rod 38 is connected to the insulating rod 37 and is in contact with the connecting line 35. The regulating unit 40 includes a humidifier 42, which is connected to an atomizing tube 43. The atomizing tube 43 is connected to the air supply tube 13, and an regulating valve 45 is provided on the outer ring of the atomizing tube 43. The detection unit 30 is divided into two states based on the state of the mask 10. The first state is when the mask 10 is parallel. At this time, the elastic cover 36 pulls the power rod 38 to contact the connecting line 35, and the control wire A32 is connected to the wire B34, causing the vibrating block 31 to run. Second state: When the mask 10 is tilted, the elastic cover 36 moves outward, causing the insulating rod 37 to contact the connecting wire 35, and the control wire A32 and the wire B34 are disconnected, causing the vibrating block 31 to stop running.
[0025] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the normal use of the device, an appropriate length of gas delivery tube 13 should be selected during use to ensure that the device can adapt to different patients and different usage environments, thereby ensuring the stability of the device operation. The ventilator 14 is a positive pressure breathing device, and is used to assist patients in stopping snoring. The ventilator 14 should have built-in power supply and air supply equipment so that all components in the device can be used normally.
[0026] In this embodiment, the mask 10 is placed against the patient's face, and the elastic band 21 is wrapped around the patient's chin. The ventilator 14 then blows air into the mask 10 through the air delivery tube 13, simultaneously inflating the airbag 22 to fit against the patient's chin. This regulates the air pressure in the patient's mouth and nose while keeping the patient's mouth closed, thus assisting in stopping snoring. If the patient is lying flat, the elastic covers 36 on both sides of the inner cavity of the detection box 33 will pull the power rod 38 into contact with the connecting wire 35. At this time, the wire A32 and the connecting wire 35 form a path with the wire B34, causing the vibrating block 31 to vibrate to prompt the patient to change sleeping positions. When the patient is lying on their side, the elastic cover 36 on the force-bearing side of the inner cavity of the detection box 33 will push the insulating rod 37 to replace the power rod 38 and contact the connecting wire 35, cutting off the path and preventing the vibrating block 31 from operating, thus avoiding affecting the patient's sleep. At the same time, the humidifier 42 delivers water mist into the air supply pipe 13 to regulate the humidity of the gas, and uses the regulating valve 45 to control the amount of water mist delivered, thereby regulating the humidity of the air.
[0027] Secondly, please refer to it again. Figures 1 to 3 The mask 10 has straps 11 fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of its outer edge. The front of the mask 10 has a connection port 12 fixedly connected to it. The front of the connection port 12 is connected to an air supply tube 13. The end of the air supply tube 13 away from the connection port 12 is connected to a ventilator 14. The upper end of the ventilator 14 is fixedly mounted with a control panel 15. The front center of the mask 10 has a humidity detector 16 fixedly connected to it. The rear side of the humidity detector 16 has a probe 17 fixedly connected to it. The probe 17 penetrates the mask 10 and extends into the inside of the mask 10. Both sets of straps 11 are adjustable, and each strap 11 has an adjustment buckle in the middle.
[0028] It should be noted that the strap 11 is made of an elastic material to ensure the patient's comfort when wearing it; The part where the connection port 12 connects to the air supply pipe 13 should be equipped with a sealing interface to prevent air leakage from affecting the anti-snoring effect; The mask 10 has exhaust vents on both sides, and the size of the exhaust vents will not have a significant impact on the air pressure inside the mask 10, so that it can assist the patient's breathing without affecting the anti-snoring effect. The control panel 15 is a device for controlling the operation of the ventilator 14, making it convenient for users and medical staff to operate.
[0029] In this embodiment, the mask 10 is secured to the patient's face using the straps 11. The tightness of the straps 11 is adjusted using the adjusting buckle to ensure a close fit between the mask 10 and the face without causing pressure on the patient. The humidity detector 16 monitors the air humidity inside the mask 10 in real time via the probe 17 and feeds the data back to the control panel 15. The user can view the current humidity value through the control panel 15 to control the adjustment unit 40 according to the actual situation. The sealed interface design between the connection port 12 and the gas delivery tube 13 effectively prevents gas leakage, ensuring that the gas delivered by the ventilator 14 enters the mask 10 stably.
[0030] Secondly, please refer to it again. Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 8 Elastic band 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer edge of mask 10 and placed below strap 11. An air bag 22 is fixedly connected to the middle outer edge of elastic band 21. The inflatable surface of air bag 22 is close to the lower end of mask 10, and an air blowing tube 23 is connected to the side of air bag 22. The distal end of air blowing tube 23 is connected to ventilator 14. The outer ring of the middle section of the air blowing pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the mask 10 and the connection port 12, and the part of the air blowing pipe 23 located on the outer edge of the mask 10 is fixedly connected to the air valve 24.
[0031] It should be noted that the airbag 22 is only installed on the side of the elastic band 21 closest to the mask 10. The purpose is to use the airbag 22 to control the tightness, thereby adapting to patients of different body types. Furthermore, the inflated part of the airbag 22 only acts on the patient's jaw area, avoiding significant impact on other parts of the patient. The ventilator 14 should have a built-in air pump, which is connected to the air tube 23 to control the inflation of the air bag 22. The air valve 24 is a highly airtight valve to prevent air leakage from the airbag 22 from seriously affecting the patient's wearing experience and also to avoid affecting the closure of the patient's mouth.
[0032] In this embodiment, during use, the elastic band 21 is wrapped around the patient's jaw. Then, the air pump inside the ventilator 14 delivers gas through the inhalation tube 23 to the air bag 22. The air bag 22 gradually inflates and conforms to the patient's jaw. The expansion pressure assists the elastic band 21 in further tightening the jaw, ensuring the patient maintains a closed-mouth breathing state during sleep. The air valve 24 can adjust the air pressure of the air bag 22 according to the patient's jaw tightness requirements. When the patient feels excessive pressure on their jaw, they can manually open the air valve 24 to release some gas, causing the air bag 22 to contract moderately and improve wearing comfort. When a stronger mouth-closing effect is needed, the air valve 24 can be closed to maintain a stable inflated state for the air bag 22.
[0033] Secondly, please refer to it again. Figures 3 to 7 The vibrating block 31 is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower end of the mask 10, and the vibrating part of the vibrating block 31 faces the inside of the mask 10 and is parallel to the inner wall of the mask 10. The front of the vibrating block 31 is electrically connected to a wire A32. The upper end of the wire A32 is fixedly connected to a detection box 33. The detection box 33 is fixedly connected to the lower front of the mask 10, and the upper end of the wire A32 extends into the inner cavity of the detection box 33. The lower end of the detection box 33 away from the wire A32 is fixedly connected to a wire B34. One end of the wire B34 extends into the inner cavity of the detection box 33, and the other end extends into the inner cavity of the ventilator 14. The upper end of the detection box 33 is fixedly connected to a connecting wire 35. The two ends of the connecting wire 35 extend into the two sides of the detection box 33 where the wires A32 and B34 are installed, respectively, and are placed above the wires A32 and B34, respectively. The detection box 33 has a cavity in the middle, and elastic covers 36 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cavity. An insulating rod 37 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the elastic cover 36 away from the cavity. A power-conducting rod 38 is fixedly connected to the end of the insulating rod 37 away from the elastic cover 36. Limiting frames 39 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the detection box 33. The ends of wires A32 and B34 that extend into the inner cavity of the detection box 33 are fixedly connected to the middle of the limiting frame 39. The ends of wires A32 and B34 that extend into the inner cavity of the detection box 33 are contacted and connected to the lower end of the outer ring of the power-conducting rods 38 on both sides. The two ends of the connecting wire 35 are fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the two sets of limiting frames 39, and the two ends of the connecting wire 35 are contacted and connected to the upper end of the outer ring of the power-conducting rods 38 on both sides.
[0034] It should be noted that the vibrating block 31 has a built-in micro motor, and a silicone pad is provided on the inner side of the vibrating block 31, and the silicone pad is in contact with and connected to the patient's chin. The cavity in the middle of the detection box 33 should be filled with liquid, and the weight of the liquid should be sufficient to push the elastic cover 36 on the force-bearing side outward when the detection box 33 is tilted, and drive the insulating rod 37 to contact the connecting wire 35. When the detection box 33 is lying flat, it will not squeeze the elastic covers 36 on both sides to extend outward too much. This allows the power rods 38 on both sides to form a path with the wires A32 and B34 and the connecting wire 35 when the patient is lying flat, thereby driving the vibrating block 31 to vibrate to prompt the patient to switch to a side-lying position. When the patient is in a side-lying position, the elastic cover 36 on the force-bearing side will be squeezed by the liquid pressure, which will push the insulating rod 37 outward, replacing the power rod 38 to contact the connecting wire 35, thus breaking the path and preventing the vibrating block 31 from vibrating, so as to avoid affecting the patient's sleep. Here, in order to avoid frequent vibration of the vibrating block 31 and to reduce the energy consumption of the device, the power supply component in the ventilator 14 should be set to energize the wire B34 at a certain frequency (for example, once every three or five minutes, preferably once every three minutes in this embodiment). The parts of conductors A32 and B34 and connecting wire 35 that contact the power-conducting rod 38 are all contact-type metal plates, and the power-conducting rod 38 and the insulating rod 37 are also slidably connected in the middle of the limiting frame 39. The power-conducting rod 38 and the insulating rod 37 have the same diameter to avoid affecting the smoothness of sliding. The outer ring of the middle section of the wire B34 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the air supply pipe 13, and the outer ring of the air supply pipe 13 should be equipped with a wire clamp to facilitate the fixing of the wire B34 and the air blowing pipe 23. Preferably, the weight of the liquid inside the detection box 33 is tested and calibrated multiple times to ensure that the circuit will not be accidentally disconnected when the patient turns over slightly or moves their head slightly. Only when the patient maintains a stable side-lying position and the tilt angle of the detection box 33 reaches a preset threshold (e.g., 20° to 40°) can the liquid pressure fully push the elastic cover 36 to block the circuit with the insulating rod 37, effectively avoiding frequent erroneous actions that affect the continuity of the patient's sleep.
[0035] In this embodiment, when the patient is lying supine, the liquid inside the detection box 33 remains horizontally distributed. At this time, the elastic covers 36 on both sides are not compressed by the liquid pressure and are in a naturally contracted state. Supported by the elastic covers 36, the lower end of the outer ring of the power rod 38 contacts the leads A32 and B34, and the upper end contacts the connecting wire 35, thus forming a complete circuit between the leads A32, 35, and B34. When the ventilator 14 is powered through lead B34, the current sequentially passes through lead B34, power rod 38, connecting wire 35, the other power rod 38, and lead A32 to the vibrator 31, triggering the built-in micromotor in the vibrator 31 to operate. The vibration is transmitted to the patient's chin via a silicone pad, reminding the patient to adjust their sleeping position. When the patient turns to a side-lying position, the detection box 33 tilts with the mask 10, and the liquid inside the cavity gathers towards the lower position due to gravity, causing the elastic cover 36 on that side to expand outwards. The elastic cover 36 pushes the insulating rod 37 to slide along the limiting frame 39. The front end of the insulating rod 37 gradually replaces the energized rod 38 and contacts the connecting wire 35. Since the insulating rod 37 is not conductive, the original path is cut off, and the current cannot be transmitted to the vibrating block 31. The vibration prompts to stop automatically.
[0036] Please refer to it again. Figures 8 to 11 The lower left side of the ventilator 14 has a cavity. The adjustment unit 40 also includes a water tank 41, which is fixedly connected to the cavity of the ventilator 14. A humidifier 42 is installed above the water tank 41 and is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the ventilator 14. The inlet of the humidifier 42 extends into the lower end of the inner cavity of the water tank 41, and the outlet of the humidifier 42 is connected to a nebulizing tube 43. The nebulizing tube 43 passes through the ventilator 14 and connects to the air supply tube 13. A one-way valve 44 is installed on the part of the nebulizing tube 43 and the air supply tube 13 that are connected. A regulating valve 45 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the nebulizer tube 43 extending out of the ventilator 14. An isolation ring is provided in the inner cavity of the regulating valve 45, and an exhaust port 46 is provided at the lower left end of the isolation ring. An air inlet port 47 is provided at the upper right end of the isolation ring. A semi-circular tube 48 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the isolation ring through a sealed bearing. The semi-circular tube 48 is attached to the inner side of the air inlet port 47. A handle 49 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the semi-circular tube 48. The handle 49 is located at the upper end of the regulating valve 45.
[0037] It should be noted that the one-way valve 44 is restricted to allowing gas from the atomizing tube 43 to enter the gas delivery tube 13. The isolation ring is divided into two parts. One side is close to the outlet of the atomizing tube 43 and the other side is close to the inlet. Five sets of exhaust holes 46 are opened at the lower end of the side close to the outlet, and five sets of air inlets 47 are opened at the upper end of the side close to the inlet. This is intended to ensure that the water mist sprayed from the atomizing tube 43 can enter the air supply pipe 13 only after passing through the air inlets 47 and exhaust holes 46. The outer edge of the semicircular tube 48 is provided with a sealing gasket, and the outer edge of the semicircular tube 48 contacts the air inlet 47, which is intended to open a certain number of air inlets 47 by controlling the rotation of the semicircular tube 48. The upper end of the handle 49 is provided with a scale groove, and a pointer is also provided on the side so that the operator can observe the humidity adjustment.
[0038] In this embodiment, during use, the humidifier 42 atomizes the water in the water tank 41 into tiny water mist particles, which are then delivered to the air supply pipe 13 via the atomizing tube 43. When it is necessary to adjust the air humidity, the user can rotate the semi-circular tube 48 by rotating the handle 49 on the regulating valve 45. The relative position of the semi-circular tube 48 and the air inlet 47 on the isolation ring changes, thereby controlling the number of air inlets 47 that are open. For example, when the handle 49 is rotated to the maximum scale, the semi-circular tube 48 fully opens all the air inlets 47, and the water mist enters the air supply pipe 13 through the five sets of air inlets 47 and the corresponding exhaust ports 46. After mixing with the gas output by the ventilator 14, it enters the mask 10, and the humidity adjustment is at its maximum. When the pointer points to the middle scale, the semi-circular tube 48 blocks part of the air inlets 47, allowing only part of the water mist to pass through, and the humidity adjustment is reduced accordingly. When the pointer points to the minimum scale, the semi-circular tube 48 completely blocks the air inlets 47, the water mist delivery channel is closed, and humidity adjustment stops. Users can precisely control the opening and closing of the air inlet 47 by using the scale groove and pointer on the handle 49 based on the real-time humidity data fed back by the humidity detector 16. This allows for fine adjustment of the humidity of the gas entering the mask 10, adapting to the individualized humidity needs of different patients and improving their breathing comfort.
[0039] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During use, the mask 10 is fixed to the patient's face by the strap 11, and the elastic band 21 is wrapped around the patient's jaw. Then, the gas generated by the air pump inside the ventilator 14 is delivered to the air bag 22 through the blowing tube 23. The air bag 22 gradually expands and fits the patient's jaw. The expansion pressure assists the elastic band 21 to further tighten the jaw, ensuring that the patient maintains a closed-mouth breathing state during sleep. At the same time, the humidity detector 16 monitors the air humidity inside the mask 10 in real time through the probe 17. If the humidity needs to be adjusted, the user can rotate the handle 49 on the adjusting valve 45 to drive the semi-circular tube 48 to rotate. The relative position of the semi-circular tube 48 and the air inlet 47 on the isolation ring changes, thereby controlling the number of air inlets 47 that are opened, and realizing fine adjustment of the humidity of the gas entering the mask 10. When the patient is sleeping and lying supine, the liquid inside the detection box 33 remains horizontally distributed. At this time, the elastic covers 36 on both sides are not compressed by the liquid pressure and are in a naturally contracted state. Supported by the elastic covers 36, the lower end of the outer ring of the power rod 38 contacts the leads A32 and B34, and the upper end contacts the connecting wire 35, forming a complete circuit between leads A32, 35, and B34. When the ventilator 14 is powered through lead B34, the current sequentially passes through lead B34, power rod 38, connecting wire 35, the other power rod 38, and lead A32 to the vibrator 31, triggering the built-in micromotor in the vibrator 31 to operate. The vibration is transmitted to the patient's chin through the silicone pad, reminding the patient to adjust their sleeping position. When the patient turns to their side, the detection box 33 tilts with the mask 10, and the liquid inside the cavity gathers towards the lower area due to gravity, causing the elastic cover 36 on that side to expand outwards. The elastic cover 36 pushes the insulating rod 37 to slide along the limiting frame 39. The front end of the insulating rod 37 gradually replaces the energized rod 38 and contacts the connecting wire 35. Since the insulating rod 37 is not conductive, the original path is cut off, and the current cannot be transmitted to the vibrating block 31. The vibration prompts to stop automatically to avoid affecting the patient's sleep.

Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this invention are implemented according to conventional methods in the art unless otherwise specified or limited.
