Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of respiratory auxiliary equipment, in particular to a respiratory guiding device. Background Art
[0002] The speed and intensity of breathing can reflect a person's emotional state. It is widely believed that deep breathing, such as the use of Qigong and yoga techniques, can effectively reduce tension and stress. The autonomic nervous system responds to stress by regulating a person's heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV). It is like a control center that manages many functions of the body to cope with various stresses.
[0003] When the body strives to maintain optimal performance, heart rate is affected by a series of processes transmitted from the brain through the autonomic nervous system to the heart. These processes can reflect the level of stress the body is under. Therefore, the regularity of breathing is closely related to heart rate, heart rate variability, and the contraction and relaxation of the heart. For example, when heart rate variability decreases, people may feel nervous and excited, and their breathing will also speed up. Generally speaking, the higher the HRV, the better the cardiovascular function and the stronger the ability to resist stress; while low HRV may mean a higher risk of anxiety and depression, as well as a higher mortality rate from cardiovascular disease. Excessive stress, mood swings, sleep problems, certain medications and foods can all reduce HRV.
[0004] Slow and regular breathing is believed to help relax and reduce stress. Exercises such as yoga or qigong can help people achieve this breathing method and further control stress and blood pressure. Breathing guidance devices help users adjust their breathing patterns to a preset rhythm through visual or optical, sound and other biofeedback signals. In this way, users can learn to consciously regulate their psychological and physiological activities within a certain range, achieve self-regulation, and then adjust body functions and treat certain diseases. This method has been proven to have good therapeutic effects on a variety of diseases, such as depression, insomnia and anxiety.
[0005] In the related art, the breathing guidance device generates auditory signals and light signals through a sound-generating device or a light-emitting device, and the user guides breathing through these auditory signals and light signals. However, in some usage scenarios, the auditory signals and light signals cannot be well perceived by the user. For example, when the user wants to close his eyes and rest during the breathing guidance process, the light signal is difficult for the user to perceive. In another example, when the user is in a noisy environment, the auditory signal is difficult for the user to perceive and play the role of guiding breathing.
[0006] Therefore, how to form a breathing guidance signal that is easily perceived by the user is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.
[0007] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0064] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0065] In the related art, the breathing guidance device generates auditory signals and light signals through a sound-generating device or a light-emitting device, and the user guides breathing through these auditory signals and light signals. However, in some usage scenarios, the auditory signals and light signals cannot be well perceived by the user. For example, when the user wants to close his eyes and rest during the breathing guidance process, the light signal is difficult for the user to perceive. In another example, when the user is in a noisy environment, the auditory signal is difficult for the user to perceive and play the role of guiding breathing.
[0066] In order to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a breathing guide device, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 1 is a structural block diagram of a breathing guidance device in an embodiment, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a spring-type signal feedback device in an embodiment, Figure 4 4 is a cross-sectional view of the airbag signal feedback device in the embodiment.
[0067] The breathing guidance device of this embodiment includes: a signal feedback device 1 and a main control module 3. The signal feedback device 1 includes: a deformable component 11 and a driving mechanism 12. The deformable component 11 has a deformable ability, that is, it has a deformable area 10 that can be deformed; the driving mechanism 12 is connected to the deformable component 11 and the main control module 3, and is used to drive the deformable component 11 according to the driving signal sent by the main control module 3, so that the deformable component 11 can deform in response to the drive of the driving mechanism 12, and the deformation is used to guide breathing.
[0068] When the above breathing guiding device guides breathing, the driving mechanism 12 drives the deformation component 11 to deform, so that the deformation of the deformation component 11 is used to guide breathing, and the user can adjust the breathing behavior according to the tactile signal. It can be understood that the frequency, size and other parameters of the deformation of the deformation component 11 driven by the driving mechanism 12 can be controlled by the corresponding driving instructions, and the setting of the driving instructions is a conventional technical means in the field. For example, those skilled in the art can determine the deformation frequency of the deformation component 11 according to the expected breathing frequency, and then set the driving frequency of the driving mechanism 12 according to the deformation frequency of the deformation component 11, which will not be repeated here.
[0069] It can be seen that the breathing guiding device of this embodiment can cause the deformable component 1 to produce a deformation for guiding breathing. The user can directly sense the deformation of the deformable component through touch or other means, and adjust the breathing behavior according to the deformation to achieve the effect of self-regulation and relaxation of the body and mind.
[0070] Exemplarily, the tactile signal is reflected by the direction, amplitude and frequency of the deformation of the deformation component 11. The method of guiding breathing is: the direction of deformation, such as forward and reverse, corresponds to exhalation and inhalation respectively; the frequency of deformation is proportional to or the same as the frequency of breathing, the faster the deformation frequency, the faster the breathing frequency; the amplitude of deformation is proportional to the depth of breathing, the greater the deformation amplitude, the deeper the breathing.
[0071] Exemplarily, the main control module 3 is configured to preset at least one mode, determine a target mode among the modes in response to an instruction input by a user, and send the driving signal corresponding to the target mode to the driving mechanism 12 .
[0072] For example, see Figure 1As shown, the breathing guidance device includes a biosensor device 2 and a display module 4 . The main control module 3 is preset with at least one mode and includes a data storage and processing module 30 . The biosensor device 2 and the display module 4 transmit signals to the main control module 3. The biosensor device 2 is used to obtain physiological signals that change due to the user's breathing behavior, such as heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood flow, blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, etc. The method of obtaining the physiological signal corresponds to the physiological signal, such as using one or more biosensors 21 such as a heart rate sensor, a blood pressure sensor, a pulse sensor, and a body temperature sensor to obtain; the main control module responds to the physiological signal, determines a target mode in the mode, and sends the drive instruction corresponding to the target mode to the drive mechanism 12; the physiological signal is transmitted to the data storage and processing module 30 in the form of an electrical signal for processing and storage, and the processing method includes converting the physiological signal into data and graphics related to the physiological signal and other visual information, and the storage includes the storage of these data and images; the display module 4 is configured to display data and graphics related to the physiological signal and other visual information, and can also be configured to display the breathing mode of the signal feedback device 1; for example, the physiological signal reflecting the breathing speed is expressed in one or more forms of curves, straight lines, colors, and colors through electrical signals.
[0073] Exemplarily, the breathing guidance device includes a heart rate biosensor configured to detect heart rate or heart rate variability (HRV), and the physiological signal of the detected heart rate or heart rate variability (HRV) provides an indication of the user's breathing speed. The data corresponding to the detected physiological signal is converted into a curve display, and the biosensor device 2 determines the required breathing mode. When determining the required breathing mode, the physiological characteristics reflected by the user's current physiological signal can be considered. For example, if the user's heart rate increases due to stress, a soothing breathing mode can be selected, and the user can sense it through the above-mentioned tactile signal, so that the user's breathing is guided from the stress state to the desired relaxation state, or the user's breathing is guided to other states desired by the user.
[0074] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the biosensor device 2 includes a control unit, which is configured to receive the physiological signal sensed by the biosensor 21, and select a preset driving instruction corresponding to the breathing pattern expected by the user according to the physiological signal. The control unit sends the driving instruction to the driving mechanism 12, controls the driving mechanism 12 to drive the deformation component 11 to deform according to the driving instruction, so that the deformation component 11 forms a tactile signal corresponding to the preset breathing pattern, and then guides the user to breathe according to the preset breathing pattern through the tactile signal.
[0075] Exemplarily, the driving mechanism 12 has a built-in driving instruction corresponding to the breathing mode desired by the user, and the breathing mode is fixed or modifiable, and the number is one or more. When the driving mechanism 12 is turned on, the driving instruction can be executed to drive the deformation component 11 to deform, forming a tactile signal or other feedback signal corresponding to the preset breathing mode, and then guiding the user to breathe according to the preset breathing mode through the tactile signal or other feedback signal.
[0076] Exemplarily, the driving mechanism 12 or the biosensor device 2 is provided with a control board, in which driving instructions corresponding to the breathing pattern are burned; or the driving mechanism 12 or the biosensor device 2 is connected to an electronic controller, in which driving instructions corresponding to the breathing pattern are provided. This part is an existing method of setting driving instructions and will not be repeated here.
[0077] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the main control module 3 includes a main control panel, and the main control module 3 determines or modifies the user's desired breathing pattern preset in the main control module 3 through the main control panel.
[0078] Exemplarily, the main control panel is further configured to select the form of the signal guiding breathing, that is, to select the signal feedback device 1 or other signal generating device to provide the signal guiding breathing.
[0079] See also Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of the above-mentioned signal feedback device 1, the signal feedback device 1 is a spring-type signal feedback device, specifically, its deformation component 11 includes a mounting plate 111 and a spring 112, and the deformation component 11 also includes a spring 101 with elastic deformation ability such as a metal sheet, a plastic sheet, etc., and both ends of the spring 101 are connected to the mounting plate 111, such as bonding or welding, and a deformation area 10 is formed in the middle; the driving mechanism 12 and the spring 112 are located between the mounting plate 111 and the spring 101, and the driving mechanism 12 is connected to the mounting plate 111, such as bonding or screwing, one end of the spring 112 is connected to the driving mechanism 12, such as fixedly connected, and the other end is connected to the spring 101, such as hung on the hanging hole on the inner side of the spring 101. The mounting plate 111 is used to connect the spring 101 and support the driving mechanism 12, so that the driving mechanism 12 can use the mounting plate 111 as a fulcrum to drive the spring 112 to move, thereby causing the spring 101 to deform; the driving mechanism 12 can be a small electric push rod or a linear motor, the main body of which is fixed on the mounting plate 111, and the driving end is connected to one end of the spring 112. When working, the driving mechanism 12 drives the spring 112 to move in a direction close to or away from the spring 101, thereby pushing or pulling the spring 101, causing the spring 101 to deform in a positive or reverse direction, the amplitude of the deformation is controlled by the driving stroke of the driving mechanism 12, and the frequency of the deformation is controlled by the frequency of the reciprocating drive of the driving mechanism 12, so as to generate a tactile signal, and the user can contact the spring 101 with a hand or other body part to sense the tactile signal, and then guide breathing through the tactile signal.
[0080] Further, see Figure 2 As shown, there are two groups of shrapnel 101, spring 112 and drive mechanism 12, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting plate 111; a cavity is formed between the shrapnel 101, and the mounting plate 111, the drive mechanism 12 and the spring 112 are located in the cavity; the two shrapnel 101 form two deformation areas 10 facing opposite directions, forming a spherical structure with a rugby-shaped cross-section, and its front and rear ends can be open structures or closed structures. The user can choose one of them to sense the tactile signal as needed, or can sense the tactile signals generated by the two shrapnel 101 at the same time, and the applicability is improved. It should be noted that the deformation component 11 in this embodiment hides the drive mechanism 12, the spring 112 and the mounting plate 111 in the cavity, which has the advantages of simple appearance, ability to protect components, avoid components affecting the user's sense of tactile signals, and extend service life.
[0081] It is understandable that the spring 101, the spring 112 and the driving mechanism 12 may be a group and arranged on the same side of the mounting plate 111, see Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of a spring type signal feedback device in an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a set of springs, a driving mechanism and a spring sheet.
[0082] See also Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment of the above-mentioned signal feedback device 1, the signal feedback device 1 is an airbag type signal feedback device, specifically, its deformation component 11 includes an airbag 113, a deformation area 10 is formed on the outer side of the airbag 113, the airbag 113 is provided with an inflation port 1131 and a pressure relief port 1132, and the driving mechanism 12 includes an air source, and the air source is connected to the inflation port 1131 and the pressure relief port 1132; when working, the air source inflates and deflates the airbag 113 through the inflation port 1131 and the pressure relief port 1132, so that the airbag 113 expands and contracts, that is, positive and reverse deformation, the amplitude of the deformation is controlled by the inflation amount and deflation amount of the air source, and the frequency of the deformation is controlled by the inflation and deflation frequency of the air source, so that a tactile signal is formed by the airbag 113, and the user can contact the surface of the airbag 113 with the hand or other body parts to sense the tactile signal, and then guide the breathing through the tactile signal.
[0083] Exemplarily, the driving mechanism 12 is located inside the airbag 113 and is connected to the inflation port 1131 and the pressure relief port 1132 via a pipeline.
[0084] Exemplarily, the driving mechanism 12 is located outside the airbag 113 and is connected to the inflation port 1131 and the pressure relief port 1132 via a pipeline.
[0085] For example, see Figure 4 As shown, the driving mechanism 12 is located inside the airbag 113 and is connected to the inner side of the airbag 113 through a connector 114. The connector 114 is provided with an inner hole. The connector 114 may be a pipe, one end of which is connected to the air source, and the other end is connected to the external environment of the airbag 113. At the same time, the outer side of the pipe is sealed and connected to the airbag 113. The driving mechanism 12 is suspended in the middle of the airbag 113 through the pipe, and is out of contact with the inner wall of the airbag 113. The inner hole of at least one pipe is configured to lead the circuit of the driving mechanism 12 to the outside of the airbag 113, and the other pipes are configured to connect the air source and the external environment of the airbag 113, so that the air source can inflate and deflate the airbag 113. At this time, the inflation port 1131 and the pressure relief port 1132 can be cancelled or retained as needed. With such arrangement, the deformation component 11 and the driving mechanism 12 are integrated into one body, the appearance of the deformation component 11 is simplified, and it has the advantage of being easy to carry. At the same time, it can effectively reduce the interference of the driving mechanism 12 and its lines and pipelines on the user when sensing tactile signals, and it is more convenient to use.
[0086] For example, see Figures 5 to 18 As shown, the breathing guidance device also includes a wearable carrier 5, and a deformation component 11 and a driving mechanism 12 are arranged on the wearable carrier 5 so that the tactile signal is sensed by the wearable part corresponding to the wearable carrier 5.
[0087] In one embodiment of the wearable carrier 5, the wearable carrier 5 is a glove.

[0088] Exemplarily, the wearable carrier 5 is a bracelet, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, Figure 7 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the bracelet being worn in the embodiment. Figure 8 The schematic diagram of the palm surface of the wristband in the embodiment, the wristband includes an index finger sleeve 501, the side of the index finger sleeve 501 close to the finger surface is integrally connected to the breathing ball 502, the deformation component 11 is installed in the breathing ball 502, such as the breathing ball 502 can be the above-mentioned air bag 113, or the above-mentioned spring 101 is connected to the inner side of the breathing ball 502, the deformation area 10 is facing the index finger direction, and the driving mechanism can be installed on the back of the wristband according to the situation. When the signal feedback device 1 is working, the user wears the wristband, his index finger penetrates the index finger sleeve 501, and can feel the tactile signal generated by the deformation component 11.
[0089] Exemplarily, the display module 4 includes a touch component, which is configured to detect instructions input by a user. The touch component can be a button 7, which is used to control the main control panel and other components that need to be controlled and operated. The button 7 can be installed in an easy-to-operate position, such as the back of a bracelet or a glove.
[0090] In one embodiment of the wearable carrier 5, the wearable carrier 5 is a watch, see Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 It is a schematic diagram of a watch in an embodiment. A deformation component 11 is provided in the area where the watch contacts the hand. For example, a deformation component 11 is provided on the back of the watch body. The driving mechanism 12 and the deformation component 11 can be embedded inside the watch or installed on the watch by bonding. In short, the tactile signal formed by the deformation component 11 can be sensed by the hand.
[0091] See also Figures 10 to 18As shown, in another embodiment of the above-mentioned wearable carrier 5, the wearable carrier 5 includes an elastic body 51, and the elastic body 51 includes an elastic band 52. The elastic body 51 and the elastic band 52 can be materials with elastic deformation ability such as silicone; the driving mechanism 12 is located inside the elastic body 51, and the deformation component 11 is integrally connected with the elastic body 51, such as the above-mentioned shrapnel 101 or part of the airbag 113 is integrally formed on the elastic body 51, and the integrally connected part is the deformation area 10; wherein, the elastic band 52 is used to be worn on the user, such as on the user's fingers or palms.
