Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sleep health technology, specifically a deformable dynamic anti-snoring pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Snoring is a common symptom caused by the vibration of soft tissues in the upper airway during sleep, and it is more prevalent in obese individuals and the elderly. Long-term snoring can lead to sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), causing health risks such as hypoxemia and cardiovascular disease, while also disturbing the sleep of others.

[0003] In existing technology, anti-snoring devices are mainly divided into two categories:

[0004] 1. Wearable devices: such as nasal dilators and mandibular advancement devices, expand the airway through mechanical fixation, but they are prone to causing discomfort and low user compliance.

[0005] 2. Static adjustable pillows: These adjust the curvature of the cervical spine by fixing the slope or firmness, but because they lack a dynamic feedback mechanism, they cannot adapt to the user's real-time changes in sleeping posture, and their intervention effect is limited.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a non-invasive, dynamically adaptive, and highly comfortable deformable dynamic anti-snoring pillow to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a deformable dynamic anti-snoring pillow that can monitor whether the user is snoring in real time through a sound sensor, determine the user's head position, calculate the direction of movement, and then dynamically adjust the pressure of the air bladder inside the pillow and change the slope of the pillow surface, thereby guiding the user's head to rotate in the direction of movement, attempting to induce muscle contraction, clear the airway, and achieve imperceptible anti-snoring.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a deformable dynamic anti-snoring pillow, comprising:

[0009] A sound sensor is used to monitor the user's breathing sounds in real time and determine whether snoring is present.

[0010] The airbag system includes multiple airbags, each containing a pressure sensor. The airbags are distributed inside the anti-snoring pillow to detect the user's head position and pressure distribution.

[0011] A silent pump, connected to the airbag via a controllable air valve, is used to regulate the airbag pressure;

[0012] The control module receives signals from the sound sensor and the detection sensor, calculates the head position, and controls the silent pump to work.

[0013] When snoring is detected, the control module determines the position p of maximum head pressure based on data from the detection sensor and calculates the remaining space d on both sides. L and d R If d L ≥d R Adjust to the left if the airbag pressure is adjusted to the left, and vice versa. By adjusting the p position, the airbag pressure increases in the opposite direction and decreases in the positive direction to create a slope, guiding the head to rotate.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the detection sensor can be any one of a pressure sensor, a thin-film pressure sensor, or a fiber optic deformation detection component.

[0015] In a further embodiment, a buffer pad is also included, which is wrapped around the outside of the airbag. The buffer pads are connected by a connecting strap with a margin, allowing for relatively independent vertical movement.

[0016] In a further embodiment, the buffer pad is made of a flexible material and is manufactured using 3D printing or molding processes.

[0017] In a further embodiment, the control module includes:

[0018] A sound recognition unit is used to detect whether snoring is occurring or has stopped;

[0019] The pressure data analysis unit calculates the head's center of gravity position based on the array of detection sensors.

[0020] The dynamic adjustment module calculates the rotation direction and amplitude based on the ratio of the distance between the head's center of gravity and the edge of the pillow.

[0021] In a further embodiment, the pressure change rate during the adjustment of the airbag does not exceed 0.1 kPa / s.

[0022] Further solutions include a wireless charging module and a Bluetooth module to connect to a mobile app, which can display snoring frequency and adjustment records in real time.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this utility model is suitable for users of all body types and sleeping positions, especially obese men with severe snoring.

[0024] By monitoring the user's snoring in real time and dynamically adjusting the pressure of the air bladder inside the pillow, the slope of the pillow surface is changed, thereby guiding the user's head to rotate in the direction of movement, effectively alleviating snoring problems, and is especially suitable for dynamically changing sleep states.

[0025] Using sound and detection sensors to determine the user's state, the intervention process is gentle and avoids drastic impact on the user's sleep.

[0026] The pillow's internal air bladders and cushioning pads have a flexible design structure that can be achieved through 3D printing or traditional processing methods, making it highly adaptable to different production needs. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a dynamically deformable anti-snoring pillow, comprising the following components:

[0035] Sound sensor 1 is used to monitor the user's breathing sounds in real time and determine whether snoring is present;

[0036] The airbag system 2 includes multiple airbags 201. Each airbag 201 is equipped with a detection sensor (when acquiring the maximum pressure, in addition to a gas pressure sensor, a thin film pressure sensor or fiber optic deformation can also be used to acquire the pressure). The airbags 201 are distributed inside the pillow and are used to detect the user's head position and pressure distribution.

[0037] The silent pump 3 is connected to the airbag 201 via a controllable air valve 4 and is used to adjust the pressure of the airbag 201.

[0038] The cushioning blocks, which wrap around the airbag 201, are made of flexible material and manufactured using 3D printing or molding processes. The cushioning blocks are connected by adjustable straps, allowing for relatively independent vertical movement.

[0039] Control module 5 receives signals from the sound sensor and pressure sensor, calculates the head position, and controls the silent pump to operate; the control module includes:

[0040] A sound recognition unit is used to detect whether snoring is occurring or has stopped;

[0041] The pressure data analysis unit calculates the head's center of gravity position based on the array of detection sensors.

[0042] The dynamic adjustment algorithm determines the direction and amplitude of rotation based on the ratio of the distance between the head's center of gravity and the edge of the pillow.

[0043] When snoring is detected, the control module 5 determines the position p of maximum head pressure based on the detection sensor data and calculates the remaining space d on both sides. L and d R If d L ≥d R Adjust to the left if the position is reversed, and to the right if the position is reversed. By adjusting the position p, the pressure of the airbag 201 in the opposite direction increases and the pressure of the airbag 201 in the positive direction decreases, thus creating a slope to guide the head to rotate.

[0044] The dynamic adjustment mechanism includes the following steps:

[0045] a) Maintain the pressure of airbag 201 at the position of maximum head pressure p;

[0046] b) Increase the pressure of the airbag 201 in the opposite direction at position p until a height difference is formed;

[0047] c) Reduce the pressure of airbag 201 in the positive direction at position p;

[0048] d) The slope created causes the head to rotate in the direction of maximum available space;

[0049] e) After snoring stops, the pressure of each airbag 201 is balanced to restore flatness.

[0050] This invention also proposes a dynamic anti-snoring method, comprising the following steps:

[0051] The sound sensor 1 monitors the user's breathing sounds and triggers adjustments when continuous snoring is detected.

[0052] The current pressure distribution in the head is determined by detection sensors;

[0053] Calculate the ratio of the distance between the center of pressure on the head and the distance between the two ends of the pillow;

[0054] If the distance on the left is greater than or equal to the distance on the right, then adjust the pressure gradient of airbag 201 to the left; otherwise, adjust it to the right.

[0055] The slope created by gradient pressure guides the head to rotate into the open area;

[0056] The pillow automatically returns to its flat position after snoring stops. During this adjustment process, the pressure change rate does not exceed 0.1 kPa / s to avoid causing discomfort.

[0057] This device features wireless charging and Bluetooth connectivity to a mobile app, allowing for real-time display of snoring frequency and adjustment records.

[0058] In its implementation, this plan also outlines the workflow for dynamic anti-snoring pillows:

[0059] 1. As the user falls asleep on the pillow, sound sensor 1 begins to monitor the user's breathing sounds in real time;

[0060] 2. If snoring is detected, the system determines the user's head position p based on data from the detection sensors and calculates the direction of movement. For example... Figure 2 In the middle, the airbag 201 with the greatest pressure is located at p, which is 2 airbags 201 away from the left end and 5 airbags 201 away from the right end. Therefore, there is more space on the right side, which will guide the user's head to turn to the right.

[0061] The system activates the silent pump and adjusts the pressure of the left and right airbags 201 according to the direction of movement, creating a slope to the right to guide the user's head to slowly rotate towards the open area.

[0062] 4. Once the user's head has rotated to the predetermined position, the system balances the pressure of each airbag 201, restoring the pillow's flatness;

[0063] 5. After the user stops snoring, the pillow automatically returns to a stationary state to ensure the user's comfortable sleep; if the snoring does not stop, step 2 is repeated.
