Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-snoring devices, and in particular to a box and an anti-snoring pillow. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing life pressures, many people are disturbed by snoring. Long-term snoring not only affects the rest of others but can also lead to health risks. In response, various anti-snoring products have emerged on the market, such as anti-snoring nasal strips, anti-snoring mouthguards, and anti-snoring pillows. Anti-snoring pillows, in particular, work by inflating different air bladders within the pillow, pushing the head to rotate. This rotation increases the space in the airway, thereby achieving the purpose of stopping snoring.

[0003] Anti-snoring pillows generally consist of two parts: the pillow body and the control box. The control box is connected to the pillow body via a tube to fill the air bladder inside the pillow body with fluid and to extract fluid from the air bladder. Currently, the tube is usually fixed to the outer shell of the control box by heat fusion or welding. The former process is more complex, while the latter is more difficult to manufacture.

[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0038] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0039] refer to Figures 1-10As shown in the embodiments of this utility model, a box body is proposed, which is not limited to a control box for an anti-snoring pillow, but can also be a power supply box. The box body includes an outer shell 1, a first tube 2, a fixing seat 6, and a box connector 5. The outer shell 1 has a through hole 12, and the box connector 5 passes through the through hole 12. The first tube 2 and the box connector 5 are inserted and engaged. The box connector 5 is configured to restrict the first tube 2 from moving out of the outer shell 1. The fixing seat 6 is disposed inside the outer shell 1 and close to one axial end of the first tube 2. The fixing seat 6 is configured to restrict the first tube 2 from moving inward of the outer shell 1. The above-mentioned box body adds a fixing seat 6 inside the outer shell 1, which restricts the first tube 2 from moving inward of the outer shell 1, and the box connector 5 restricts the first tube 2 from moving outward of the outer shell 1, thereby improving the connection stability between the first tube 2 and the outer shell 1, and simplifying the assembly process.

[0040] In one embodiment, the end of the first tube 2 abuts against the fixing seat 6, thereby achieving a limiting position. For example, a detachable limiting ring is provided at the end of the first tube 2 that is inserted into the outer shell 1, and the opposite sides of the limiting ring abut against the box connector 5 and the fixing seat 6, respectively, thereby achieving axial limiting of the first tube 2. Specifically, the limiting ring is threadedly connected to the first tube 2.

[0041] In one embodiment, the housing is used to fill the airbag with a fluid medium such as air or water, and to extract the fluid medium from the airbag 20. The airbag 20 is not limited to the airbags in devices such as anti-snoring pillows and massagers. In this case, the housing also includes a second tube 3 and a pump. The pump is fixedly disposed inside the outer casing 1 and connected to the first tube 2 through the second tube 3. Specifically, in order to control the on / off state of the second tube 3 and the pump, a solenoid valve 9 is also disposed between the second tube 3 and the pump. The solenoid valve 9 is also located inside the outer casing 1.

[0042] The second tube 3 is also located inside the outer shell 1. Obviously, the movement power of the second tube 3 mainly comes from the first tube 2. When the first tube 2 does not move into the outer shell 1, the second tube 3 is not easy to be pushed upward or to one side, which reduces the possibility of the second tube 3 being closed, thereby enabling the rapid inflation and deflation of the fluid medium in the airbag.

[0043] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the first tube 2 is connected to the second tube 3 via a pipe connector 4. One end of the pipe connector 4 is inserted into the first tube 2, causing the first tube 2 to expand and deform, thereby making the first tube 2 and the box connector 5 interference fit, thus preventing the first tube 2 from detaching from the outer shell 1. More specifically, when the first tube 2 needs to be connected to multiple second tubes 3 simultaneously to inflate or deflate multiple airbags 20 with fluid medium, multiple fluid channels 21 are provided at intervals inside the first tube 2, and the pipe connector 4 is inserted into each fluid channel 21 in a corresponding manner.

[0044] Understandably, since the contact area between the first tube 2 and the pipe connector 4 is limited, the portion of the first tube 2 not in contact with the pipe connector 4 can still easily move into the outer shell 1 relative to the connector 5. Therefore, the setting of the fixing seat 6 is necessary. Based on the setting of the pipe connector 4, the first tube 2 can also be limited in the direction of moving into the outer shell 1 by the pipe connector 4 abutting against the fixing seat 6. Specifically, the pipe connector 4 includes a connector body 41 and a limiting protrusion 42. The axial ends of the connector body 41 are respectively inserted into the first tube 2 and the second tube 3. The limiting protrusion 42 is arranged around the connector body 41 and abuts against the fixing seat 6, thus limiting the first tube 2. More specifically, in order to reduce the difficulty of inserting the pipe connector 4 into the first tube 2 and the second tube 3, both ends of the connector body 41 are set as tapered.

[0045] To facilitate future replacement of the housing connector 5, the housing connector 5 is detachably connected to the outer casing 1. (Reference) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a limiting step 55 is provided on the outer wall of the box connector 5. The box connector 5 is inserted into the recess 12, and the limiting step 55 abuts against the outer wall of the outer shell 1, thereby restricting the box connector 5 from moving into the outer shell 1. Simultaneously, the box body also includes a locking nut 10, which is sleeved on the end of the box connector 5 inserted into the outer shell 1 and threadedly connected to the box connector 5, thereby restricting the box connector 5 from detaching from the outer shell 1. Thus, the box connector 5 is axially confined within the outer shell 1. When the box connector 5 needs to be replaced, simply unscrew the locking nut 10 from the box connector 5 to remove the box connector 5 from the outer shell 1.

[0046] Specifically, the box connector 5 includes an axially connected main body 51 and a threaded connection 52. A limiting step 55 is formed on the main body 51, the main body 51 passes through the recess 12, and the threaded connection 52 is at least partially located inside the outer shell 1. The thread is provided on the outer wall of the threaded connection 52, and the locking nut 10 is sleeved on the threaded connection 52.

[0047] In addition, the box connector 5 also includes a limiting part 53 disposed on the outer wall of the main body 51, and a corresponding limiting mating part 13 is disposed on the outer shell 1 to prevent the box connector 5 from rotating relative to the outer shell 1. For example, the limiting part 53 is a limiting protrusion 42, and the limiting mating part 13 is a limiting groove communicating with the embedded hole 12. Both the limiting part 53 and the limiting mating part 13 are provided in multiples at circumferential intervals.

[0048] refer to Figures 4-6As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing seat 6 achieves axial positioning with the outer shell 1 through the box connector 5, thereby limiting the first tube 2. Specifically, the end of the box connector 5 that is inserted into the outer shell 1, i.e., the threaded connection part 52, is provided with a slot 54 extending axially along the box connector 5. The fixing seat 6 is provided with a plug part 62 that is inserted into the slot 54. The plug part 62 is provided with a stop part 63 that extends away from the axis of the box connector 5. The stop part 63 abuts against the end of the locking nut 10 facing the first tube 2, so as to achieve axial positioning of the fixing seat 6 relative to the box connector 5.

[0049] Understandably, due to the limitations of the insertion part 62 and the slot 54, the fixing seat 6 is circumferentially limited to the box connector 5. On this basis, after the other end of the pipe connector 4 is inserted into the second pipe body 3, the second pipe body 3 expands and deforms, thereby making the second pipe body 3 and the fixing seat 6 interference fit. Under the limitation of the fixing seat 6, the possibility of the second pipe body 3 twisting around its own axis is further reduced.

[0050] More specifically, the fixing base 6 also includes a base body 61, with an insertion hole 64 extending axially through the base body 61, and an insertion portion 62 axially connected to the base body 61. It is worth noting that, in order for the locking nut 10 to be fitted onto the threaded connection portion 52, the outer diameter of the base body 61 is not greater than the outer diameter of the threaded connection portion 52, so that the locking nut 10 is fitted onto the threaded connection portion 52 from the end of the base body 61 away from the insertion portion 62.

[0051] Understandably, if the material used for the fixing base 6 is too soft, it will easily lose its fixing effect when the rotational force on the second tube 3 is slightly large. Therefore, the fixing base 6 is made of materials such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer), zinc alloy, or silicone with a Shore hardness greater than 60.

[0052] refer to Figures 7-10 As shown, in one embodiment, the outer casing 1 includes a housing and a cover, which together form a space for accommodating the pump, the second pipe 3, the mounting base 6, and the solenoid valve 9. A connecting post 11 is provided on the housing, abutting against the cover to reduce the possibility of cover deformation, thereby providing better protection for the solenoid valve 9, pump, and other structures inside the outer casing 1. Specifically, the housing and cover are detachably connected to facilitate inspection and replacement of the internal structure of the outer casing 1. For example, a threaded hole is provided on one end face of the connecting post 11 that abuts against the cover, and the housing and cover are fixed by screws passing through the threaded hole. More specifically, to improve the structural strength of the connecting post 11, the connecting post 11 includes a post body and an extension, with the threaded hole on the post body and the extension connecting the post body and the side wall of the outer casing 1.

[0053] Based on the arrangement of the connecting posts 11, in order to fix the fixing seat 6 to the outer shell 1, the fixing seat 6 has at least two connecting holes 65 for inserting the two connecting posts 11 one by one. That is, the fixing seat 6 has at least two connecting holes 65. Through the mutually cooperating connecting holes 65 and connecting posts 11, the fixing seat 6 is confined to the outer shell 1. For example, the fixing seat 6 has connecting holes 65 arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the second tube 3, and the connecting posts 11 are also arranged at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the second tube 3.

[0054] In this embodiment, the fixing base 6 is also made of materials such as ABS, zinc alloy or silicone with a Shore hardness greater than 60 to prevent deformation of the fixing base 6.

[0055] In one embodiment, the housing further includes a control circuit board and a sound acquisition device. The control circuit board is also disposed within the housing 1 and electrically connected to the pump, solenoid valve 9, and sound acquisition device to control the opening and closing of the pump and solenoid valve 9 based on the snoring information acquired by the sound acquisition device. Exemplarily, the sound acquisition device is a microphone. How the microphone acquires snoring and its connection and control method with the control circuit board are prior art and will not be described further here.

[0056] refer to Figures 11-13 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model also proposes an anti-snoring pillow, which includes a box, a pillow core 30, and multiple airbags 20. The multiple airbags 20 are disposed on the pillow core 30. The box is connected to the airbags 20 through a first tube 2 for filling and releasing fluid medium into the airbags 20. Specifically, to improve ease of use, an air pump is used to inflate and deflate the airbags 20. More specifically, the pump includes a suction pump 8 and an inflation pump 7. The airbags 20 include a first airbag and a second airbag. One first airbag is provided for adjusting the neck height, and multiple second airbags are provided for adjusting the head angle. For example, six second airbags are provided. In this case, the second tube 3 is provided with a total of seven airbags. The solenoid valve 9 is a seven-way solenoid valve 9, which includes seven interfaces that are connected one-to-one with the seven airbags 20. The seven interfaces are defined as ag interfaces. It also includes a total outlet and a total inlet. The total inlet is connected to the inflation pump 7, and the total outlet is connected to the suction pump 8.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
