[0028] The base 1 serves as a supporting structure to fix and position other components. The base 1 in this embodiment is a shell with an upwardly open cavity, in which the control module 4 and the air pump 3 are both arranged, the lower part of the electrical stimulation head 2 is embedded in the cavity, and the air pump 3 is arranged between the control module 4 and the air bag 21 corresponding to the air port of the air bag 21. In this way, the base 1 is used to realize the installation support of other components.

[0029] The electrical stimulation head 2 includes at least one air bag 21 and an electrical stimulation layer 22 attached to the outside of the air bag 21. The electrical stimulation head 2 is used to be placed in the ear cavity of the user to stimulate the acupuncture points in the ear cavity.

[0030] The airbag 21 in this embodiment includes one, and the airbag 21 is made of a deformable material. The air pump 3 is connected to the air port of the airbag 21. The air pump 3 is electrically connected to the control module 4, and the airbag 21 is inflated and deflated based on the control of the air pump 3 by the control module 4. When in use, the airbag 21 is placed in the ear cavity at a position to be stimulated in the uninflated state. When it is needed to work, the control module 4 controls the air pump 3 to perform an inflation operation, thereby inflating the airbag 21.

[0031] The electrical stimulation layer 22 is deformable and attached to the outside of the airbag 21. The electrical stimulation layer 22 in this embodiment is made of conductive silicone. When the airbag 21 is inflated, the electrical stimulation layer 22 can contact the skin in the ear cavity. The electrical stimulation layer 22 is connected to the control module 4 by electrical signals. Under the control of the control module 4, when the electrical stimulation layer 22 is powered, the electrical stimulation layer 22 is powered and acts on the skin in the ear cavity, thereby achieving a stimulating effect. The electrical stimulation layer 22 in this embodiment is made of conductive silicone material, which can be flexibly deformed and better deformed at the electrical stimulation position to match the ear cavity shape of the user.

[0032] In order to more accurately determine the location of the acupoints at the action position, in this embodiment, a plurality of flexible deformation sensors 5 are distributed on the airbag 21, and an electrical stimulation layer 22 is attached to the outside of each flexible deformation sensor 5. Each flexible deformation sensor 5 and each electrical stimulation layer 22 are respectively connected to the control module 4 by electrical signals. That is, each flexible deformation sensor 5 is specifically arranged between the airbag 21 and the electrical stimulation layer 22. When in use, after the airbag 21 is inflated, the electrical stimulation head 2 is adaptively attached to the skin of the user's ear cavity based on its flexible characteristics, and the morphological characteristics of the ear cavity can be obtained based on the detection signal values ​​of each flexible deformation sensor 5 obtained by the control module 4, and then the positions of each acupoint in the ear cavity can be effectively analyzed and determined, and then the control module 4 controls the energization parameters of each electrical stimulation layer 22, so as to achieve a precise stimulation effect on the acupoints.

[0033] The electrical stimulation mechanism can be used independently as needed, or it can be installed on devices such as headphones, sleep aids, etc. Usually, the stimulation positions for the ear cavity include the cavum concha and the cymba concha, and an electrical stimulation mechanism can be set for each stimulation position.

[0035] The sleep aid device in the utility model is provided with an air bag 21 and an electric stimulation layer 22 to form an electric stimulation head 2, so that when the sleep aid device is placed in the ear cavity, the air bag 21 and the electric stimulation layer 22 can better adapt to the ear cavity shape of different users based on their deformable characteristics, improve the fit between the electric stimulation layer 22 and the ear cavity skin, increase the area of ​​electric stimulation, avoid tingling, and also provide accuracy in acting on the acupoints.

[0036] The utility model also relates to a sleep aid device, comprising a base and at least one aforementioned electrical stimulation mechanism arranged on the base corresponding to the electrical stimulation position in the ear cavity. The sleep aid device using the electrical stimulation mechanism has high comfort and better electrical stimulation effect.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the airbag 21 includes a plurality of airbags, an air pump 3 is provided corresponding to each airbag 21, and each air pump 3 is respectively connected to the control module 4 with an electrical signal.

[0039] In order to ensure the accuracy of stimulating the acupoints, the airbags 21 are arranged in a matrix corresponding to the action positions.

[0040] In order to better obtain the deformation amount of each airbag 21, a flexible deformation sensor 5 is provided on each airbag 21, and each flexible deformation sensor 5 is electrically connected to the control module 4. The flexible deformation sensor 5 is wrapped outside the airbag 21 and is located between the airbag 21 and the electrical stimulation layer 22. When in use, after the airbag 21 is inflated and adapted to the user's ear cavity, the control module 4 obtains the morphological characteristics of the auricle based on the detection data of the flexible deformation sensor 5 on each airbag 21, and then can calculate and analyze the corresponding acupoint position in the ear cavity, and then control the power supply parameters of the electrical stimulation layer 22 attached to the outside of each airbag 21, so as to achieve precise stimulation control of the acupoint.
