[0016] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connection between the snoring sound collection component and the cushion in the embodiment of the utility model;

[0017] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the connection between the sleeping posture adjustment component and the cushion according to an embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The embodiment of the utility model is described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the sleep apnea monitoring device based on snoring includes a snoring sound collection component, a sleeping position adjustment component and a mat for setting the snoring sound collection component and the sleeping position adjustment component. The snoring sound collection component includes an inflatable pillow 2, a first microphone 9, a second microphone 10, a third microphone 5, a signal conditioning circuit and a controller. The first microphone 9, the second microphone 10, and the third microphone 5 are connected to the controller through a signal conditioning circuit. The first microphone 9, the second microphone 10, and the third microphone 5 are all arranged on a bracket, and the bracket is rotatably connected to the inflatable pillow 2. A support is also provided between the bracket and the inflatable pillow. The first microphone 9 and the second microphone 10 are respectively arranged at both ends of the inflatable pillow 2;

[0020] The sleeping posture adjustment component is used to adjust the sleeping posture to reduce the patient's snoring. The third microphone 5 is used to collect the snoring sound when the patient lies flat. The signal adjustment circuit adjusts the signal to remove other sounds except the snoring sound. The controller is used to control the sleeping posture adjustment component. The controller judges the patient's sleeping posture by comparing the sound volume between the first microphone 9, the second microphone 10 and the third microphone 5. If the snoring sound collected by the third microphone 5 is louder, it can be judged that the patient is lying flat. If the snoring sound collected by the first microphone is the loudest, it is judged that the patient is sleeping on his side. According to the sleeping posture, it is determined which microphone to use for snoring sound collection to improve the accuracy of snoring sound collection.

[0021] The support member is a hollow connecting sleeve, one end of which is connected to the inside of the inflatable pillow 2, and the other end of which is connected to the bracket. The connecting sleeve is connected to the inside of the inflatable pillow 2. When the patient's head is pressed on the inflatable pillow 2 during sleep, the gas inside the inflatable pillow 2 is pressurized and enters the connecting sleeve, supporting the connecting sleeve, thereby pushing the bracket to rotate, so that the position of the third microphone 5 is rotated to the upper side of the nose;

[0022] There are two connecting sleeves 6, which are arranged at both ends of the inflatable pillow 2, and the two connecting sleeves 6 are symmetrically arranged about the inflatable pillow 2;

[0023] The bracket includes a cross bar 4 and a first vertical bar 3 and a second vertical bar 11 connected to both ends of the cross bar 4. The first microphone 9 is arranged on the first vertical bar 3, the second microphone 10 is arranged on the second vertical bar 11, and the third microphone 5 is arranged on the cross bar 4. When in use, the patient's head sleeps on the inflatable pillow 2, the inflatable pillow 2 is pressurized, and the internal gas enters the inside of the connecting sleeve 6. Under the action of the connecting sleeve 6, the bracket is propped up. When the patient lies flat, the third microphone 5 for collecting snoring is close to the patient's nose. If the patient tilts his body, the patient's snoring is mainly collected through the first microphone 9 or the second microphone 10. By arranging the first microphone 9, the second microphone 10 and the third microphone 5, the snoring can be better collected. When the patient's head leaves the inflatable pillow 2, under the action of the gravity of the bracket and the third microphone 5, the bracket will flip downward and away from the patient's nose.

[0024] The bracket rotates at an angle of 0 to 85 degrees, so that the bracket can be turned to the side away from the patient. When the patient is asleep, his head presses the inflatable pillow 2, causing the bracket to rotate. The bracket rotates at an angle less than 85 degrees, so that after the patient's head leaves the inflatable pillow 2, the bracket can fall down under the weight of itself and the third microphone.

[0025] The sleeping posture adjustment component includes a first airbag 7 and a second airbag 8 arranged side by side with the first airbag 7. The first airbag 7 and the second airbag 8 are located at the shoulder position of the human body to facilitate adjusting the sleeping posture of the patient. The first airbag 7 and the second airbag 8 are both connected to the inflation device, and the inflation device is connected to the controller;

[0026] The upper surfaces of the first airbag 7 and the second airbag 8 after being inflated are both inclined surfaces. When the patient is snoring, the gas in the first airbag 7 and the second airbag 8 is adjusted to allow the patient to adjust his sleeping posture, thereby reducing the patient's snoring;

[0027] By setting up the snoring sound collection component, the microphone head for collecting snoring sound is closer to the patient's nose, which is convenient for collecting the patient's snoring sound;

[0028] By setting the sleeping position adjustment component, it can be inflated or deflated to allow the patient to adjust the sleeping posture, thereby reducing snoring.

[0029] The above describes the technical solution of the utility model in combination with specific implementation methods, but it should be noted that the above descriptions are only for explaining the solution of the utility model and cannot be interpreted as a specific limitation on the protection scope of the utility model in any way. Based on the explanation here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementation methods or equivalent replacements of the utility model without creative work, which will fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
