Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of snoring stoppers, in particular to an adjustable snoring stopper. Background Art

[0002] Snoring is what we usually call snoring during sleep. If a person snores during sleep, others will think that he sleeps very sweetly. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding. Snoring does not mean good sleep quality. On the contrary, among the huge number of snoring people, a considerable number of people suffer from a disease - sleep apnea syndrome. As the name suggests, sleep apnea syndrome means that breathing stops during sleep, neither exhaling nor inhaling. There are two main reasons for sleep apnea syndrome. One is that the airway is "blocked", which we call obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Without airflow, breathing naturally stops. At this time, although the gas cannot enter and exit the lungs, the chest and abdomen breathing movements still exist. The patient tries his best to restore breathing, and the breathing activities are often quite intense, showing snoring, and the snoring is usually very loud. More than 90% of patients with sleep apnea syndrome belong to this reason. In addition, a small number of patients experience apnea due to lesions in the respiratory muscles or the nerves that control the respiratory muscles. Authoritative data show that 78% of patients with long-term snoring can induce hypoxic cerebral atrophy or even sudden death due to long-term snoring. About 4,000 people die every day from various diseases caused by snoring around the world.

[0003] Since snoring and sleep apnea are mainly caused by relaxation or collapse of the upper respiratory tract and pharyngeal soft tissues (including uvula, tonsils, adenoids, tongue root, etc.), which are problems with the physiological structure of the upper airway, the only solution to solve the problem of snoring is to ensure normal upper respiratory tract and unobstructed breathing through physical function correction.

[0004] The existing patent (Announcement No.: CN218247541U) discloses an adjustable anti-snoring device, including an orthodontic appliance, the orthodontic appliance includes an upper jaw base and a lower jaw base, a retractable adjustment mechanism, the retractable adjustment mechanism is arranged at the maxillary palatal fornix, the retractable end of the retractable adjustment mechanism is connected to the upper jaw base, and the retractable adjustment mechanism and the orthodontic appliance are connected through the upper and lower jaw connecting rods, the upper jaw base and the lower jaw base, so that the retractable adjustment mechanism is arranged at the maxillary palatal fornix of the oral cavity, thereby facilitating adjustment. The relative positions of the upper jaw base and the lower jaw base are changed through the retractable adjustment mechanism, thereby changing the relative positions of the lower jaw and the upper jaw, thereby correcting the oral structure and preventing snoring. However, this technical solution still has shortcomings, as follows:

[0005] The above device adjusts the anti-snoring device by setting a telescopic adjustment mechanism at the maxillary palatal fornix. However, when different users wear the anti-snoring device to sleep, some users sleep with their mouths open, while others sleep with their mouths closed. This causes the tongue of the user who sleeps with his mouth closed to easily touch the telescopic adjustment mechanism at the maxillary palatal fornix, which in turn causes the tongue and other parts of the oral cavity to be easily worn by the telescopic adjustment mechanism after the user wakes up. To this end, we propose an anti-snoring device that is easy to adjust to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
