Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to an anti-snoring pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Pillows are an indispensable household item for everyone, commonly used while sleeping. As users' demand for intelligent pillows increases, more and more new technologies are being applied to pillows.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent with patent number ZL201721756809.2 (authorization announcement number CN 208785037U) discloses an anti-snoring pillow, including a pillow body and an anti-snoring device. The anti-snoring device includes an airbag disposed in the pillow body. The anti-snoring device also includes a snoring detection circuit, a head position detection circuit, an airbag inflation circuit, and a controller. The snoring detection circuit, the head position detection circuit, and the airbag inflation circuit are all electrically connected to the controller. The snoring detection circuit, the head position detection circuit, the airbag inflation circuit, and the controller are all electrically connected to a power supply circuit.

[0004] While the aforementioned pillow can detect snoring through a snoring detection circuit, and when snoring is detected, the controller determines the user's head position based on the head position detection circuit, simultaneously driving the airbag inflation circuit to inflate the airbag. The airbag then pushes the user's head, stopping the snoring. However, the inflation and deflation of the airbag can cause lateral swaying, easily waking the user, and it also produces a lot of noise, negatively impacting the user experience. Therefore, further improvements to the existing technology are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an anti-snoring pillow that is less likely to wake up the user, in contrast to the above-mentioned prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is: an anti-snoring pillow, comprising:

[0007] Pillow body;

[0008] A head position detection module, located inside the pillow, is used to detect the user's head position.

[0009] A sound detection module, located inside the pillow, is used to detect the user's snoring.

[0010] Its features also include:

[0011] The lifting assembly includes multiple top blocks arranged around the periphery of the head position detection module, and each top block can be individually lifted and lowered within the pillow body;

[0012] The controller is electrically connected to the head position detection module, the sound detection module, and the lifting assembly. The controller is configured to control the top block to perform corresponding actions based on the detection results of the head position detection module and the sound detection module.

[0013] There are many structures for the head position detection module described above. Preferably, the head position detection module includes multiple moving electrodes spaced apart along the length of the pillow body and fixed electrodes located below all the moving electrodes. Each moving electrode can be individually constrained within the pillow body by moving up and down, and has the following two states:

[0014] In the first state, the moving electrode is in contact with the fixed electrode;

[0015] In the second state, the moving electrode is separated from the fixed electrode.

[0016] When the user's head is pressed on the moving electrode, the moving electrode can be moved down and come into contact with the fixed electrode. The position of the user's head can be obtained by detecting which moving electrode is in contact with the fixed electrode.

[0017] Preferably, the top blocks are arranged in two rows, with the two rows of top blocks respectively disposed on the two side walls of the moving electrode, and the number of top blocks in each row is the same as the number of moving electrodes, with each top block in each row corresponding to a moving electrode.

[0018] Preferably, the pillow body is provided with a resistance plate arranged along the length of the pillow body, the fixed electrode is located at one end of the resistance plate, and the pillow body is also provided with a first elastic element acting on the bottom of the resistance plate, so that the resistance plate always has a tendency to move toward the moving electrode.

[0019] In a further improvement, the moving electrode is fitted with a second elastic element, one end of which is disposed on the resistance plate. The second elastic element acts on the moving electrode so that the moving electrode always tends to separate from the resistance plate.

[0020] In order to enable the pillow to have a heating function, the pillow body is also provided with a first lead connecting all the moving electrodes, and one of the moving electrodes located in the middle is electrically connected to a second lead. The two ends of the resistor plate are electrically connected to the negative terminal of the linear power supply, and the second lead is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply.

[0021] Preferably, the sound detection module is a voiceprint sensor.

[0022] Preferably, the upper surface of the top block is further provided with a support layer made of a flexible material.

[0023] Preferably, the lifting assembly further includes a drive motor connected to each top block, the top block being able to move up and down under the drive of the drive component.

[0024] To make the lifting and lowering of the top block more stable, the drive motor is connected to the top block drive through a lead screw transmission mechanism.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: After the sound detection module detects the user's snoring, the head position detection module detects the user's head position. The controller then controls the top block to move accordingly (up or down) based on the user's head position, causing the user's head to turn to the side, thus alleviating snoring. Therefore, this anti-snoring pillow alleviates snoring by raising and lowering the top block. Compared with the inflation and deflation of airbags, this method is less prone to shaking, quieter, and less likely to wake the user, thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Figure 5 This is a control block diagram of the anti-snoring pillow in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the anti-snoring pillow in this embodiment includes a pillow body 1, a head position detection module 2, a sound detection module 3, a lifting component 4, and a controller 5.

[0033] Both the head position detection module 2 and the sound detection module 3 are located within the pillow body 1. The head position detection module 2 is used to detect the user's head position; the sound detection module 3 is used to detect the user's snoring. The lifting assembly 4 includes multiple top blocks 41 arranged around the periphery of the head position detection module 2, each of which can be individually raised and lowered within the pillow body 1. The controller 5 is electrically connected to the head position detection module 2, the sound detection module 3, and the lifting assembly 4. The controller 5 is configured to control the top blocks 41 to perform corresponding actions based on the detection results of the head position detection module 2 and the sound detection module 3. In this embodiment, the sound detection module 3 is a voiceprint sensor. The technology of using this voiceprint sensor to detect snoring is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The head position detection module 2 includes multiple moving electrodes 21 spaced apart along the length of the pillow body 1 and fixed electrodes 22 located below all the moving electrodes 21. Each moving electrode 21 can be individually constrained within the pillow body 1 by moving up and down, and has two states: a first state, where the moving electrode 21 is in contact with the fixed electrode 22; and a second state, where the moving electrode 21 is separated from the fixed electrode 22. Figure 2 As shown, there are 6 moving electrodes 21 in this embodiment; and there are two rows of top blocks 41, with the two rows of top blocks 41 respectively disposed on the two side walls of the moving electrode 21, and the number of top blocks 41 in each row is the same as the number of moving electrodes, and each top block 41 in each row corresponds to a moving electrode.

[0035] A resistance plate 23 is provided inside the pillow body 1 along its length. A fixed electrode 22 is located at one end of the resistance plate 23. A first elastic element 61 acting on the bottom of the resistance plate 23 is also provided inside the pillow body 1, so that the resistance plate 23 always tends to move towards the moving electrode 21. In this embodiment, the fixed electrode 22 is directly connected to a wire. A second elastic element 62 is sleeved on the moving electrode 21, one end of which is located on the resistance plate 23. The second elastic element 62 acts on the moving electrode 21, so that the moving electrode 21 always tends to separate from the resistance plate 23. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, both the first elastic element 61 and the second elastic element 62 are springs.

[0036] In order to enable the pillow in this embodiment to have a heating function, and to make the head position detection module 2 mentioned above serve a dual purpose, the pillow body 1 in this embodiment is also provided with a first lead 71 connecting all moving electrodes, one of the moving electrodes 21 located in the middle is electrically connected to a second lead 72, the two ends of the resistor plate 23 are electrically connected to the negative terminal of the linear power supply, and the second lead 72 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply. The second lead 72 divides all moving electrodes 21 into a left-side moving electrode group and a right-side moving electrode group. By connecting the left-side and right-side moving electrodes in parallel to the positive and negative terminals of the DC power supply, since the left-side and right-side moving electrodes are themselves heating resistors, when the user's head rests on the left-side moving electrode group, the heating energy will be concentrated on the left side of the pillow (corresponding to the area where the left-side moving electrode group is located); when the user's head rests on the right-side moving electrode group, the heating energy will be concentrated on the right side of the pillow (corresponding to the area where the right-side moving electrode group is located). With this setting, the heating energy can be more concentrated and released to the area where the head is located, increasing the utilization rate of heat energy and making it convenient for users to achieve heat therapy muscle relaxation and fatigue relief for the head and neck.

[0037] The lifting assembly 4 in this embodiment also includes a drive motor 42 that is driven and connected to each top block 41, allowing the top block 41 to move up and down under the drive of the drive motor 42. Figure 3 As shown, the drive motor 42 is connected to the top block 41 via a lead screw transmission mechanism. This allows the top block 41 to move up and down more smoothly. In addition, the upper surface of the top block 41 is provided with a support layer made of flexible material (not shown in the figure). This support layer is generally made of materials such as memory foam or latex, and is required to be soft, comfortable, and breathable.

[0038] In this embodiment, the anti-snoring pillow works as follows:

[0039] When the sound detection module detects the user's snoring, it will then... Figure 2 Taking the six moving electrodes 21 shown as an example, the head position detection process in this embodiment will be explained in detail as follows:

[0040] When the user's head is not pressed, all six moving electrodes 21 are separated from the fixed electrodes 22. When the user's head presses on the moving electrode 21 at the corresponding position, the moving electrode 21 at the corresponding position moves downward and makes the moving electrode 21 contact the fixed electrode 22. At this time, the resistance value of the circuit is related to the length of the conductive part of the circuit of the resistor plate 23. Thus, by detecting the resistance value of the circuit, it can be determined which moving electrode is conductive, that is, the position of the user's head can be determined.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, the positions of the six moving electrodes spaced apart along the length of the pillow body in this embodiment are sequentially labeled as region A, region B, region C, region D, region E, and region F from left to right. The positions of the two rows of top blocks are sequentially labeled as region 1, region 2, region 3, region 4, region 5, and region 6 in the same order as the moving electrodes. Region A and region 1 are on the same straight line; region B and region 2 are on the same straight line; region C and region 3 are on the same straight line; region D and region 4 are on the same straight line; region E and region 4 are on the same straight line; and region F and region 5 are on the same straight line.

[0042] When the user's head is detected to be in area B, the top block of control area 2 rises and the top block of control area 3 falls, causing the head to turn to the side and reducing snoring (the principle of head turning is: the direction of head turning is towards the center of the pillow, to avoid the following situation: when the head is in the position of the farthest edge of the pillow, if the head does not turn towards the center of the pillow but towards the outside of the pillow, the head will fall out of the pillow).

[0043] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.
