[0033] In the description of this application, reference to the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a sleep-aid device comprising a tactile component and an olfactory component. The tactile component simulates the natural environment through touch, while the olfactory component simulates the natural environment through smell. This sleep-aid device simulates the natural environment through multiple senses, helping the user relax and experience a natural environment, enhancing sleep-aiding effects and improving sleep quality.

[0035] In some examples, the haptic component blows air toward the user's torso. This continuous flow of air around the user creates a circulation of air around the user. This circulation can provide comfort and help with sleep. Furthermore, since circulating wind also exists in the natural environment, the haptic component can fully simulate the natural environment in terms of tactile sensation, further enhancing the sleep-inducing effect.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the air input to the tactile component comes from the external environment. The tactile component sucks in the air, and the air is pressurized inside the tactile component to form an airflow, which is then blown to the user's torso.

[0037] The haptic component includes an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102. Air from the external environment is drawn into the haptic component through the air inlet 101, then discharged through the air outlet 102 and blown toward the user's torso. Furthermore, the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102 are connected by a duct 103. The air entering the air inlet 101 forms an airflow and then flows along the duct 103 to the air outlet 102.

[0038] It is understandable that, in order to ensure smooth air flow through the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102, the positions of the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102 need to avoid being blocked by external objects. At the same time, the air outlet 102 faces the user's torso.

[0039] Furthermore, an odor medium is present within the olfactory component, capable of emitting odors, thereby simulating a natural environment in terms of olfactory experience. The odor medium is transported to the user's vicinity by the airflow within the tactile component, and the olfactory component is connected to the tactile component. Specifically, the olfactory component is connected to the duct 103, allowing the odor medium to mix with the airflow within the duct 103.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, a plurality of air outlets 102 are provided, and each air outlet 102 directs airflow to the user's torso from a different position, thereby increasing the range of airflow circulation and enhancing the tactile environment simulation effect.

[0041] If each air outlet 102 is connected in series with the air inlet 101 via the duct 103, the duct 103 has only a single air flow path. Since each air outlet 102 is located at a different position in the air flow path, the air flow will preferentially be directed along the air outlet 102 near the air inlet 101. Consequently, the air pressure at the air outlet 102 near the air inlet 101 is relatively high, while the air pressure at the air outlet 102 farther from the air inlet 101 is relatively low. In other words, the air pressure at each air outlet 102 is not uniform, making it difficult to control the air pressure at each air outlet 102, thereby reducing the tactile environmental simulation effect.

[0042] Therefore, in the tactile component of the present application, each air outlet 102 is connected in parallel to the air inlet 101 through a pipe 103. Furthermore, the pipe 103 has a main pipe portion and a branch pipe portion. The air inlet 101 is connected to the main pipe portion. The number of branch pipe portions is equal to the number of air outlets 102. Each branch pipe is connected to an air outlet and connected to the main pipe portion, thereby achieving parallel connection. During the flow process, the airflow will be approximately evenly dispersed to each branch pipe portion, forming multiple parallel gas flow paths, so that the air pressure at each air outlet 102 position is approximately the same, which facilitates the control of air pressure and improves the tactile environment simulation effect.

[0043] In some examples, the haptic assembly further includes a drive component 104 that provides power for the airflow, driving air in through the air inlet 101 and out through each air outlet 102. The drive component 104 is connected to the duct 103. To ensure that the airflow reaches all air outlets 102, the drive component 104 is connected to the main duct. Specifically, the drive component 104 includes an air pump.

[0044] In some examples, the haptic assembly further includes a purification component 105, which is used to remove impurities, dust, and other substances in the airflow. The purification component 105 is connected to the pipe 103. The purification component 105 is connected to the main pipe portion and is located at the intersection of the main pipe portion and each branch pipe portion. Each branch pipe portion is connected to the purification component 105.

[0045] Specifically, according to the actual needs of the user, the purification component 105 can adopt a general air purifier or a spray air purifier. When the purification component 105 adopts a spray air purifier, the air flow blown along the air outlet 102 carries water mist.

[0046] In some examples, the sleep aid device further includes a base 302 , and the tactile component is disposed on the base 302 . The base 302 for supporting the tactile component is located around the user, so that the tactile component can blow air to the user around the user.

[0047] The air outlet 102 is located on the side of the base 302 close to the user, facilitating airflow to the user. The air inlet 101 is located on the side of the base 302 away from the user, preventing discomfort to the user during air intake and preventing obstruction of the air inlet 101.

[0048] Specifically, since the trunk of the user has a certain height when resting, the air outlet 102 for blowing air flow also has a certain height accordingly, and the air inlet 101 only needs to be at a lower height.

[0049] The base 302 also has blocking components installed at the air inlet 101 and air outlet 102. These components have several narrow slits that prevent foreign matter from entering the sleep aid device without affecting airflow. The blocking components also prevent the airflow from being too concentrated on the user's torso, distributing it dispersedly along the slits to the user, ensuring a sleep-aiding effect and avoiding discomfort.

[0050] In addition, a valve is installed at the position of the air outlet 102, and the valve can open or close the air outlet 102, and the air output of the air outlet 102 can be controlled by the opening of the valve to make the air output meet the needs of the user.

[0051] In some examples, the olfactory component delivers an odor medium to the vicinity of the user. Since the odor medium can emit odors from the natural environment, it simulates the natural environment in terms of smell and enhances the sleep-aiding effect.

[0052] The olfactory component includes an odor container 201, which is used to hold an odor medium. The olfactory component is connected to the tactile component. When airflow from the tactile component reaches the odor container 201, the odor medium mixes with the airflow. The tactile component then blows the airflow carrying the odor medium toward the user, allowing the user to experience the scent of the natural environment.

[0053] Specifically, there are many kinds of smells in the natural environment. According to the actual needs of the user, the smell medium adopts a medium that can emit the smell of grass, a medium that can emit the smell of seawater, a medium that can emit the smell of flowers, etc.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the olfactory component further includes a valve body 202, through which the odor container 201 is connected to the pipe 103. When the user activates the olfactory component, the valve body 202 connects the odor container 201 and the pipe 103, allowing the airflow to mix with the odor medium. When the user no longer needs the olfactory component, the valve body 202 blocks the odor container 201 and the pipe 103, sealing the odor medium in the odor container 201. Specifically, the valve body 202 comprises a solenoid valve.

[0055] The odor container 201 and the valve body 202 are detachably connected, which is convenient for replacing the odor container 201 and adding odor medium into the odor container 201 .

[0056] The valve body 202 is also provided with an air inlet 203 and an air outlet 204. The valve body 202 is connected to the duct 103 via the air inlet 203 and the air outlet 204, with the air outlet 204 facing the air outlet 102 and the air inlet 203 facing away from the air outlet 102. Airflow in the duct 103 enters the valve body 202 along the air inlet 203, then exits the valve body 202 along the air outlet 204 and reaches the air outlet 102.

[0057] Furthermore, the solenoid valve is connected to several odor containers 201. Each container 201 contains a different type of odor medium, providing users with a variety of selectable scents to simulate different natural environments. Users select one or more odor media based on their needs. The solenoid valve connects the pipeline 103 to the corresponding odor container 201, while the other odor containers 201 are isolated from the pipeline 103. Specifically, three odor containers 201 are provided.

[0058] In some examples, the olfactory component is also disposed on the base 302 , and the olfactory component is detachably connected to the base 302 , so as to facilitate the replacement of the odor container 201 and the addition of the odor medium.

[0059] The base 302 is provided with a mounting structure, through which the olfactory component is detachably connected to the base 302. Specifically, the mounting structure includes a slot, and the olfactory component includes a housing 205. The valve body 202 and the odor container 201 are disposed within the housing 205. The housing 205 is inserted into the slot to achieve detachable connection with the base 302. It is understood that when the housing 205 is inserted into the slot to the predetermined mounting position, the airflow inlet 203 and the airflow outlet 204 communicate with the duct 103.

[0060] In some examples, the sleep aid device further includes an auditory component, which is also disposed on the base 302 . The auditory component includes a speaker 301 , which is used to play sounds in a natural environment.

[0061] Specifically, a plurality of speakers 301 are provided and arranged at intervals so that the played sound surrounds the user, thereby enhancing the user's sense of immersion and improving the sleep-aiding effect.

[0062] In some examples, the sleep aid device also includes a controller, which has a built-in MCU algorithm and is electrically connected to the driving component 104, the purification component 105, the valve body 202, the speaker 301 and the valve of the air outlet 102. The controller controls the working mode of the driving component 104, the purification component 105, the valve body 202, the speaker 301 and the air outlet 102 through the MCU algorithm.

[0063] The present embodiment provides a bed comprising a bed frame and the aforementioned sleep-aid device disposed on at least one side of the bed frame. The bed frame comprises a bed frame body 403, a mattress 401, and a bed screen 402, with the sleep-aid device located on opposite sides of the bed frame body 403. The sleep-aid device's base 302 is disposed within the bed frame body 403, or the bed frame body 403 forms the base 302 of the sleep-aid device. The sleep-aid device simulates a natural environment on either side of the user, enhancing the user's sense of immersion.

[0064] Specifically, if Figure 2As shown, the base 302 is located on both sides of the user's torso. Each base 302 is provided with four air outlets 102, an air inlet 101, four speakers 301 and an olfactory component. The two bases 302 are arranged symmetrically. For the four air outlets 102 of one base 302, from the direction away from the bed screen 402 to the direction close to the bed screen 402, they are: the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet. For the four air outlets 102 of the other base 302, the fifth air outlet is symmetrical to the first air outlet, the sixth air outlet is symmetrical to the second air outlet, the seventh air outlet is symmetrical to the third air outlet, and the eighth air outlet is symmetrical to the fourth air outlet. Two olfactory components are connected to the fourth air outlet and the eighth air outlet.

[0065] During actual implementation, each speaker 301 is intelligently controlled and linked via an MCU algorithm based on user settings, controlling the volume of each speaker 301 and the distribution of sound across different channels. This simulates the sounds of a natural environment, achieving effects such as near-far and surround sound. Furthermore, different speakers 301 can play different sounds, simulating a scene where various sounds mix together in a natural environment. Simultaneously, the controller controls the opening of each air outlet 102 valve based on the natural environment, thereby simulating wind in a natural environment.

[0066] For example, if a user wants to create a natural effect of a sea breeze and waves approaching from far away, the valves of the first and fifth air outlets will be opened from small to large. After they are fully opened, the valves of the second and sixth air outlets will be opened from small to large, and then the valves of the third and seventh air outlets will be opened in the same manner. At this point, the valves of the first and fifth air outlets will begin to slowly close, and then the valves of the fourth and eighth air outlets will be slowly opened. Similarly, the valves of the second and sixth air outlets will begin to slowly close, and then the valves of the third and seventh air outlets will begin to slowly close, and finally the valves of the fourth and eighth air outlets will be slowly closed, and the cycle will continue.

[0067] As the air outlet 102 opens and closes, the corresponding speaker 301 emits the sound of ocean waves and opens and closes synchronously with the opening and closing of the air outlet 102. Furthermore, when the valves of the fourth and eighth air outlets 102 and 102 are opened, the valve bodies 202 simultaneously connect the corresponding seawater scent containers 201 and the pipes 103, allowing the corresponding seawater scent medium to be blown through the pipes 103 to the user, allowing the user to experience a natural ocean-like environment and enhance the sleep-inducing effect.
