[0033] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms “left”, “right”, “upper”, “lower”, etc. are based on the orientations represented by the corresponding views.

[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The present application provides a device for reducing snoring, which includes a headband body 3, multiple air bags 1, an air pump 4 and a controller 6.

[0035] The headband body 3 can be made of a flexible material, so that when the headband body 3 is worn on the user's head, it will give the user a better experience.

[0036] The airbag 1 is arranged on the headband body 3, and the airbag 1 is used to adjust the position of the user's head.

[0037] The airbag 1 is a conventional product, and the airbag 1 can be arranged on the headband body 3 in a conventional manner, for example, the airbag 1 can be fixed on the headband body 3 by a through-hole connecting piece, and the airbag 1 can also be integrally formed with the headband body 3. After the airbag 1 is inflated, the volume of the airbag 1 will increase, and after the gas in the airbag 1 is released, the volume of the airbag 1 will decrease.

[0038] The air pump 4 is connected to the airbag 1 through an air tube, and the air pump 4 is used to inflate the airbag 1 or release the gas in the airbag 1.

[0039] The air pump 4 is a conventional product, and is connected to the airbag 1 via an air pipe, so that a greater distance can be set between the air pump 4 and the airbag 1. The air pump 4 can inflate the airbag 1 or release the gas in the airbag 1.

[0040] The controller 6 is electrically connected to the air pump 4 , and is used to control the air pump 4 to inflate or deflate the airbag 1 .

[0041] The controller 6 is a conventional product, for example, the controller 6 can be STM32F407VGT6, the core of which is ARMCortex-M4. The way in which the controller 6 is electrically connected to the air pump 4, and the principle of the controller 6 controlling the air pump 4 are known to those skilled in the art.

[0042] When the user is sleeping, the headband body 3 can be placed on the head, and at least part of the airbags 1 on the headband body 3 can be located on one side of the user's head, and at least part of the airbags 1 can be located on the other side of the user's head. When certain conditions are met, such as when a certain time has passed or the user is snoring, the controller 6 will control the air pump 4 to inflate the airbags 1 on the user's side. For example, the controller 6 controls the air pump 4 to inflate the airbags 1 on the left side of the user's head. After the air enters the airbags 1 on the left side of the user's head, the volume increases, causing the user's head to slowly tilt to the right. This process helps to widen the user's airway, thereby more effectively reducing the user's snoring, and can significantly improve the sleep quality of the user and the person next to him.

[0043] Based on the above design, this embodiment controls the air pump 4 to inflate the airbag 1 or release the gas in the airbag 1 through the controller 6, which can adjust the position of the user's head and widen the user's airway, thereby more effectively alleviating the user's snoring and further improving the user's sleep quality.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer again to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device also includes a body position sensor 2, which is installed on the headband body 3. The body position sensor 2 is electrically connected to the controller 6. The body position sensor 2 is used to detect the user's head orientation position and feed back the user's head orientation position information to the controller 6.

[0045] The body position sensor 2 is a conventional product. For example, the body position sensor 2 may be LIS2DW12TR. The electrical connection between the body position sensor 2 and the controller 6 and the working principle of the body position sensor 2 are known to those skilled in the art.

[0046] Body position sensor 2 can detect the orientation of the user's head, for example, see Figure 3 , the body position sensor 2 detects that the user's head is facing upward, and the body position sensor 2 feeds back the information that the user's head is facing upward to the controller 6, and the controller 6 controls the air pump 4 to inflate the air bag 1 located on the left side of the user's head. Figure 4 During the inflation of the airbag 1 located on the left side of the user's head, the user's head will slowly tilt to the right. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the figure, the arrow indicates the direction of the user's head. In this way, the controller 6 can more accurately control the air pump 4 to inflate the corresponding airbag 1 through the body position sensor 2, so that the deflection of the user's head can be more accurately adjusted, thereby more effectively alleviating the user's snoring phenomenon.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer again to Figure 1 The device also includes a microphone 8, which is electrically connected to the controller 6. The microphone 8 is used to detect whether the user is snoring and feed back information about whether the user is snoring to the controller 6.

[0048] The microphone 8 is a conventional product. When the microphone 8 detects that the user is snoring, the microphone 8 transmits the information of the user's snoring to the controller 6. At the same time, the body position sensor 2 feeds back the information of the user's head orientation to the controller 6. The controller 6 then controls the air pump 4 to inflate the corresponding airbag 1 to adjust the position of the user's head. In this way, through the microphone 8, the controller 6 can control the air pump 4 to inflate the corresponding airbag 1 only when the user is snoring, thereby improving the accuracy of the device.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer again to Figure 1 The device is connected to the ventilator body 7, and the ventilator body 7 is electrically connected to the controller 6. The ventilator body 7 is used to detect whether the user is snoring, and feed back the information of whether the user is snoring to the controller 6.

[0050] When the user is using the ventilator, the ventilator body 7 can detect whether the user is snoring. When the user's snoring is detected, the ventilator body 7 transmits the user's snoring information to the controller 6. At the same time, the body position sensor 2 feeds back the information of the user's head orientation to the controller 6, and the controller 6 controls the air pump 4 to inflate the corresponding airbag 1 to adjust the position of the user's head. In this way, the function of the ventilator body 7 can be improved, and the working time of the device can be more accurately grasped, and there is no need to set up a microphone 8 specifically to detect whether the user is snoring.

[0051] In some embodiments, a switch 5 is provided on the airbag 1 , and the switch 5 is electrically connected to a controller 6 , and the controller 6 is also used to control the switch 5 to be turned on or off.

[0052] The switch 5 is a conventional product, and the opening or closing of the switch 5 can be controlled by the controller 6. The circuit connection between the switch 5 and the controller 6, the installation method of the switch 5, etc. are all known to those skilled in the art. For example, when the body position sensor 2 detects that the user's head is facing left, and feeds this information back to the controller 6, the controller 6 controls the switch 5 corresponding to the airbag 1 located on the left side of the user's head to open, and controls the air pump 4 to inflate the airbag 1 located on the left side of the user's head; at the same time, the controller 6 controls the switch 5 corresponding to the airbag 1 located on the right side of the user's head to open, and controls the airbag 1 located on the right side of the user's head to deflate. After adjusting the position of the user's head, the controller 6 controls the switch 5 corresponding to the airbag 1 to close, and the air pump 4 does not need to inflate the airbag 1. In this way, the speed of the change of the user's head position can be adjusted more quickly, and at the same time, the air pump 4 does not need to inflate the corresponding airbag 1 together, thereby reducing the power consumption of the air pump 4, and ultimately reducing the power consumption of the device.

[0053] In some embodiments, there is one air pump 4, which is connected to multiple airbags 1 through air tubes. One air pump 4 can inflate multiple airbags 1 at the same time, and after the airbags 1 are inflated, the corresponding switches 5 can be controlled to be closed by the controller 6. In this way, compared with the solution that one airbag 1 needs one air pump 4 to inflate, only one air pump 4 is needed in this embodiment, which can greatly reduce the cost of the device.

[0054] In some embodiments, the number of airbags 1 is four, wherein two airbags 1 are located on one side of the headband body 3, and the other two airbags 1 are located on the other side of the headband body 3. The airbags 1 are located on both sides of the user's head, so that it is easier for the device to adjust the position of the user's head. There are two airbags 1 on each side of the user's head, so that without increasing the number of airbags 1 too much, the two airbags 1 can make the reaction force on the user's head more balanced, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0055] In some embodiments, the headband body 3 is an inflatable headband, so that the volume of the headband body 3 can be adjusted by inflating the headband body 3 or releasing the gas in the headband body 3.

[0056] In some embodiments, a fixing rope is further provided on the headband body 3, and the fixing rope is used to fix the headband body 3 to the user's head. A fixing belt can also be provided on the headband body 3, and the headband body 3 can be fixed to the user's head more conveniently and stably through the fixing belt.

[0057] In summary, the present application controls the air pump 4 to inflate the airbag 1 or release the gas in the airbag 1 through the controller 6, which can adjust the position of the user's head and widen the user's airway, thereby more effectively alleviating the user's snoring phenomenon and thus improving the user's sleep quality. At the same time, it can also reduce the risk of the user suffering from cardiovascular disease, fatigue, headache and other diseases, and has a positive impact on the patient's long-term health status. In addition, by reducing the user's snoring sound, not only the user's sleep experience is improved, but also the sleeping environment of the person sleeping with the user is improved.

[0058] Based on the same inventive concept, in some embodiments, the present application also provides a breathing mask, which includes the device for reducing snoring in the present application. The device in the present application can be set on the mask body, so that the breathing mask can have the function of reducing the user's snoring.

[0059] Based on the same inventive concept, in some embodiments, the present application also includes a ventilator, which includes the breathing mask in the present application. Since the ventilator includes the breathing mask in the present application, the ventilator also has the function of reducing the user's snoring.

[0060] The above are only various implementations of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
