Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to anti-snoring technology, and more particularly to a sleeping posture intervention device and an anti-snoring bedding system. Background Technology

[0002] Many cases of snoring are caused by narrowing of the upper airway when sleeping on one's back, leading to breathing difficulties. For people who snore for this reason, changing from a supine to a side-lying position can effectively solve the snoring problem. Existing anti-snoring pillows can detect the user's snoring sound and head position when snoring, and then use a first airbag built into the pillow, closest to the head, to push the head to turn, in an attempt to change the user's sleeping position and stop snoring. Studies have shown that people are less likely to snore when sleeping on their side. Side sleeping requires the whole body, including the head and body, to be on its side, not just the head. The aforementioned anti-snoring methods only intervene in the head's sleeping position, and the intervention intensity is insufficient to make the body actively change its overall sleeping position. Often, they can only turn the head to one side while the body remains in a supine position, which is not effective in stopping snoring. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a sleep posture intervention device and an anti-snoring bedding system. The technical problem to be solved is how to increase the intensity of intervention on the human sleep posture when stopping snoring.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A sleep posture intervention device is applied to bedding with a headrest area, a neck pillow area, and a shoulder pillow area. The sleep posture intervention device includes three lifting components, which are respectively disposed in the headrest area, the neck pillow area, and the shoulder pillow area. Each lifting component includes a plurality of first airbags arranged at intervals along the lateral direction. The sleep posture intervention device also includes an inflation / deflation device connected to each of the first airbags, which can independently inflate and deflate each of the first airbags in the headrest area, the neck pillow area, and the shoulder pillow area to drive each first airbag to rise and fall independently, thereby adjusting the overall or partial height of the headrest area, the neck pillow area, and the shoulder pillow area to intervene in sleep posture.

[0006] Furthermore, the plurality of first airbags are arranged at equal intervals along the lateral direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the lateral width of each first airbag in the lifting assembly of the headrest area and the spacing between each first airbag enable the head to rest on top of any at least three adjacent first airbags simultaneously.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting assembly of the neck pillow area also includes a second airbag, which extends laterally. Each first airbag in the lifting assembly of the neck pillow area is disposed on the upper surface of the second airbag and is not in communication with the second airbag. The inflation / deflation device is connected to the second airbag and can inflate or deflate the second airbag to drive the second airbag to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the overall height of the neck pillow area.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting assembly of the neck pillow area can adjust the maximum height of the neck pillow area to be higher than the maximum height of the headrest area can be adjusted by the lifting assembly of the headrest area.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting assembly of the shoulder pillow area can adjust the maximum height of the shoulder pillow area to be higher than the maximum height of the neck pillow area can be adjusted by the lifting assembly of the neck pillow area.

[0011] Furthermore, the height of the shoulder pillow area gradually decreases from one end near the neck pillow area to the end away from the neck pillow area, and each first airbag in the lifting assembly of the shoulder pillow area extends longitudinally, and its height gradually decreases from one end near the neck pillow area to the end away from the neck pillow area when inflated.

[0012] An anti-snoring bedding system includes bedding, a main controller, a snoring detection device for detecting human snoring, and a sleeping posture detection device for detecting human sleeping posture. The bedding has a headrest area, a neck pillow area, and a shoulder and neck area. The anti-snoring bedding system also includes a sleeping posture intervention device as described above. The main controller is connected to the sleeping posture intervention device, the snoring detection device, and the sleeping posture detection device, and is used to control the sleeping posture intervention device to adjust the overall or partial height of the headrest area, the neck pillow area, and the shoulder pillow area to intervene in the sleeping posture when the human body snores.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model sets lifting components in the headrest area, neck pillow area and shoulder and neck area of ​​the bedding, and each lifting component includes several first airbags arranged at intervals along the lateral direction, and each first airbag can be inflated and deflated independently. This allows for the adjustment of the overall or partial height of the headrest area, neck pillow area and shoulder and neck area, thereby intervening in the human sleeping posture in the headrest area, neck pillow area and shoulder pillow area, increasing the intensity of intervention in the human sleeping posture, making it easier for the human body to actively change the overall sleeping posture, and thus improving the anti-snoring effect.

[0020] The sleep posture intervention device 5 provided by this utility model can be applied to bedding 3 having a headrest area, a neck pillow area, and a shoulder pillow area. The bedding 3 can be a pillow, mattress, recliner, etc. The sleep posture intervention device 5 includes three lifting components 4. The three lifting components 4 are respectively located in the headrest area, neck pillow area, and shoulder pillow area (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 The area marked by the dotted line is used to adjust the height of the headrest area, neck pillow area, and shoulder pillow area by its own lifting mechanism. The lifting assembly 4 includes a plurality of first airbags 1 arranged at lateral intervals. Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal direction refers to the width of the bedding, that is, the horizontal direction perpendicular to the spine when a person lies on the bedding in a normal supine sleeping position. The sleep posture intervention device 5 also includes an inflation / deflation device 6, which is connected to each of the first airbags 1 and can independently inflate and deflate each of the first airbags 1 in the headrest area, neck pillow area, and shoulder pillow area. The first airbags 1 can adjust their height by inflating and deflating, thereby adjusting the height of the corresponding position of the bedding 3. Since the first airbags 1 are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction, the lifting and lowering of airbags at different horizontal positions can adjust the height of different horizontal positions of the bedding 3. By independently inflating and deflating each of the first airbags 1 in the headrest area, neck pillow area, and shoulder pillow area to drive the independent lifting and lowering of each first airbag 1, the inflation / deflation device 6 can adjust the overall or partial height of the headrest area, neck pillow area, and shoulder pillow area to intervene in the sleep posture.

[0021] Taking the headrest area as an example, the inflation / deflation device 6 inflates and deflates the first airbags 1 at different lateral positions in the headrest area to adjust the height of different lateral positions, thereby intervening in head posture. Specifically, only one first airbag 1 in the headrest area can be inflated to raise the height of that lateral position, while the heights of other lateral positions remain unchanged, prompting the head located at that position to turn to one side. Alternatively, the first airbags 1 at each lateral position in the headrest area can be inflated and deflated to varying degrees to create a tilt of the headrest area that is higher on the left or right, thus prompting the head to turn to one side. Intervening in head posture in the neck and shoulder areas works similarly to intervening in head posture in the headrest area. By intervening in head posture simultaneously in the headrest, neck, and shoulder areas, the intensity of the intervention can be significantly increased, making it easier for the body to actively change its overall sleeping posture, thereby improving the anti-snoring effect. For example, when a person snores, they are lying on their back. To stop snoring, the sleeping position needs to be adjusted to a side-lying position. The sleeping position intervention device 5 provided by this utility model can simultaneously intervene in the sleeping position of the head, neck, and shoulders in the head pillow area, neck pillow area, and shoulder pillow area, respectively, so that the head, neck, and shoulders all turn to one side. Compared with the existing technology that only intervenes in the sleeping position of the head, it greatly improves the intensity of the sleeping position intervention and can more effectively encourage the person to turn over so that the overall sleeping position becomes a side-lying position, thereby more effectively stopping snoring.

[0022] In this invention, the first airbags 1 can be arranged at equal intervals along the lateral direction, thereby improving the uniformity of the support force provided by each first airbag 1 to the human body. Furthermore, the lateral width of each first airbag 1 and the spacing between each first airbag 1 in the headrest lifting assembly 4 can be further rationally set, allowing the head to rest simultaneously on any at least three adjacent first airbags 1. The advantage of this arrangement is that, regardless of the lateral width of the headrest area (excluding the ends), the head will be pressed against at least two adjacent first airbags 1, and inflating only one airbag will allow the head to turn to one side, while inflating another airbag will allow the head to turn to the other side. In other words, adjusting the head's sleeping posture can be achieved simply by inflating one first airbag 1 in the headrest area.

[0023] In this invention, the lifting assembly 4 for the neck pillow area also includes a second airbag 2. The second airbag 2 extends laterally. Each first airbag 1 in the lifting assembly 4 is disposed on the upper surface of the second airbag 2 and is not connected to the second airbag 2. The inflation / deflation device 6 is connected to the second airbag 2 and can inflate or deflate the second airbag 2 to drive its rise and fall, thereby adjusting the overall height of the neck pillow area and providing traction for the user's cervical spine. When tractioning the cervical spine, the air in each of the first airbags 1 in the neck pillow area can be completely deflated, so that only the second airbag 2 supports the user's neck. At this time, since the laterally extending strip-shaped second airbag 2 has no gap in the middle laterally, the user's neck will not feel the gap between the first airbags 1 in the neck pillow area, resulting in a better cervical traction experience.

[0024] The inflation / deflation device 6 of this utility model includes an air pump 10 and several air valves 11. Each air valve 11 is connected to each first airbag 1 and second airbag 2 in a one-to-one correspondence. The air pump 10 is connected to each air valve 11, so that each first airbag 1 and second airbag 2 can be independently inflated and deflated through each air valve 11.

[0025] In this invention, the neck pillow lifting component 4 can be configured to adjust the maximum height of the neck pillow area to be higher than the maximum height of the head pillow lifting component 4. The advantage of this configuration is that by raising the height of the neck pillow area, the head can be tilted back, thereby widening the upper airway when sleeping on one's back and reducing snoring. Furthermore, the shoulder pillow lifting component 4 can be configured to adjust the maximum height of the shoulder pillow area to be higher than the maximum height of the neck pillow area. This further elevates the shoulders, causing the head to tilt back even further, further widening the upper airway when sleeping on one's back and further reducing snoring. While this further reduces snoring, raising the shoulders to cause the head to tilt back excessively can lead to discomfort for the user.

[0026] In this invention, the height of the shoulder pillow area can be configured to gradually decrease from one end near the neck pillow area to the other end away from the neck pillow area. Each first airbag 1 in the lifting assembly 4 of the shoulder pillow area extends longitudinally, and its height gradually decreases from one end near the neck pillow area to the other end away from the neck pillow area when inflated. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the longitudinal direction refers to the depth of the bedding, which is the horizontal direction perpendicular to the aforementioned transverse direction. This design allows the shoulder pillow area to better conform to the user's shoulders.

[0027] Based on the aforementioned sleep posture intervention device 5, this utility model also provides an anti-snoring bedding system. This anti-snoring bedding system includes a bedding unit 3, a main controller 7, a snoring detection device 8 for detecting human snoring, and a sleep posture detection device 9 for detecting human sleeping posture. The bedding unit 3 has a headrest area, a neck pillow area, and a shoulder and neck area. The anti-snoring bedding system also includes the sleep posture intervention device 5 as described above, and the main controller 7 is connected to the sleep posture intervention device 5, the snoring detection device 8, and the sleep posture detection device 9. In this utility model, the main controller 7 is connected to the air pump 10 and each air valve 11 in the sleep posture intervention device 5. The main controller 7 adjusts the corresponding first airbag 1 or second airbag 2 by controlling the air pump 10 and the air valve 11 corresponding to the first airbag 1 or second airbag 2 that needs adjustment. The main controller 7 detects snoring through the snoring detection device 8 and the sleeping posture when snoring through the sleeping posture detection device 9. When snoring occurs, the main controller 7 controls the sleeping posture intervention device 5 to adjust the overall or partial height of the headrest area, neck pillow area and shoulder pillow area to intervene in the sleeping posture.
