Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a smart artificial intelligence swinging pillow for preventing snoring. More specifically, based on the result of inferring the snoring pattern of a user, by guiding the user's head to turn to the left or right through a sliding operation, it can eliminate obstructive factors that interfere with sleep, such as snoring symptoms or sleep apnea syndrome, and improve the quality of sleep. The present invention relates to a smart artificial intelligence swinging pillow for preventing snoring.
Background Art
[0002] In recent years, healthy sleep management has emerged as one of the concerns of modern people, and smart functions are being added to pillows, mattresses, etc. that fall under sleep-related products.
[0003] On the other hand, snoring is a typical factor that interferes with healthy sleep. Snoring is a symptom that occurs when the upper airway (nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx), which is the space for breathing, becomes narrow or blocked. The main causes include a decrease in muscle elasticity due to aging, obesity causing the structures around the airway to stretch and the airway to become narrow, and a small jaw structure or space blocking the airway.
[0004] Such snoring is not only a problem that induces noise but may also be accompanied by symptoms of chronic fatigue and cause the symptoms of hypertension and diabetes to persist. In addition, when snoring becomes severe, it may lead to sleep apnea syndrome. Sleep apnea syndrome makes it difficult to supply oxygen to the body and can cause various heart diseases such as chronic bronchitis and myocardial infarction, and strokes.
[0005] Therefore, recently, smart pillows that can improve snoring by ensuring the airway of sleepers have been developed and are on the market. However, in the case of conventional smart pillows, there is a problem that the accuracy of distinguishing snoring from other noises is low and snoring detection is not clearly performed. In addition, when two or more sleepers sleep in the same space, there is a limit that the snoring improvement effect is significantly reduced.
[0006] Furthermore, conventional smart pillows only mention technologies that detect snoring sounds and wake the user with notifications, or technologies that forcibly induce discomfort in the neck and head to induce turning over in sleep. Currently, research and development is insufficient regarding technologies that naturally rotate the user's head based on their snoring patterns, thereby preventing snoring symptoms and the onset of sleep apnea syndrome without disrupting sleep. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0007] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems by providing a smart artificial intelligence swing pillow for snoring prevention that guides the user to rotate their head to the left or right through a sliding motion based on the results of inferring the user's snoring pattern, thereby eliminating sleep-disrupting factors such as snoring or sleep apnea syndrome and improving sleep quality. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] A smart artificial intelligence swing pillow for snoring prevention according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a support body 110 that is fixed to the bottom surface, a head support 120 on which the user's head is fixed and which slides left and right while fixed above the support body 110 to rotate the user's head left and right, and a drive unit 130 provided between the support body 110 and the head support 120, which uses motor power to slide the head support 120.
[0009] In one embodiment, the support body portion 110 is formed with a curved valley 111, where the height of the left and right ends is relatively high and the height of the center is relatively low, and the head support portion 120 can slide in the left-right direction along the curved valley 111.
[0010] In one embodiment, the upper part of the head support portion 120 is formed with relatively higher heights at the left and right ends and relatively lower heights at the center, forming a curved valley 121 to support the user's head, and the lower part of the head support portion 120 may be formed curved to correspond to the curved valley 111.
[0011] In one embodiment, a fastening means 122 may be provided on the lower side of the head support portion 120, which is fastened to a fastening slit 112 provided on the curved valley 111, and moves in the left-right direction while fastened to the fastening slit 112 when the head support portion 120 slides.
[0012] In one embodiment, the drive unit 130 is inserted into a receiving groove 113 provided on the curved valley 111 and includes a rotating shaft module 131 that rotates with the width direction of the support body 110 as the axis of rotation, a worm gear 132 provided on the rotating shaft module 131 that rotates together with the rotating shaft module 131, a worm roller 133 provided on the rotating shaft module 131 that contacts the lower surface of the head support portion 120 and rotates together with the rotating shaft module 131 to provide frictional force so that the head support portion 120 slides in the left-right direction, and the worm gear 132 and The system may include a worm shaft 134 that is coupled to and connected with the worm shaft 134, and a stepping motor 135 connected to the worm shaft 134 within the support body portion 110, which uses rotational force to rotate the worm shaft 134 clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby causing the worm roller 133, which is connected to the worm gear 132 and the rotating shaft module 131, to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
[0013] In one embodiment, bearings 131a may be provided at both ends of the rotating shaft module 131 to minimize frictional force.
[0014] In one embodiment, a bolt fastening groove 132a may be formed on one side of the worm gear 132 for fastening a bolt to secure the worm gear 132 so that it does not spin freely when the worm gear 132 is inserted into the rotating shaft module 131.
[0015] In one embodiment, the end of the worm shaft 134 is inserted into a worm shaft support 114 provided within the support body 110, and a bearing 114a may be provided inside the worm shaft support 114 to minimize frictional force when the worm shaft 134 rotates.
[0016] In one embodiment, a stepping motor fixing bracket 115 for supporting the stepping motor 135 may be provided within the support body portion 110.
[0017] In one embodiment, the present invention may further include a control unit 140 that analyzes the snoring sounds of the user input via a microphone device provided on the user terminal, and controls the rotation speed, rotation direction, and number of rotations of the stepping motor 135 based on the snoring pattern inference value obtained from the analysis results. [Effects of the Invention]
[0018] According to one aspect of the present invention, by inferring the user's snoring pattern and guiding the user to rotate their head to the left or right through a sliding motion, it is possible to eliminate sleep-disrupting factors such as snoring symptoms or sleep apnea syndrome, thereby improving sleep quality.

[0026] Figure 1 shows the overall configuration of a smart artificial intelligence swing pillow 100 for snoring prevention according to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the shape of the smart artificial intelligence swing pillow 100 for snoring prevention, Figure 3 shows a conceptual diagram of the head support part 120 sliding away from the support body part 110, and Figure 4 shows a cross-section of the smart artificial intelligence swing pillow 100 for snoring prevention according to the present invention.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the smart artificial intelligence swing pillow 100 for snoring prevention according to one embodiment of the present invention may be configured to include a support body 110, a head support 120, a drive unit 130, and a control unit 140 that controls the drive unit 130.
[0028] The support body 110 is attached to the bottom surface, more specifically, to the bed on which the user lies, and plays a role in supporting the head support 120, which will be described later, as it slides in the left-right direction.
[0029] Such a support body 110 is made of a material strong enough to adequately support the load of the user's head (for example, 6 kg), and may have a hollow space inside. The shape of the support body 110 is described in more detail below.
[0030] Figure 5 shows a more detailed view of the inner surface of the support body 110, and Figure 6 shows the lower cover of the support body 110.
[0031] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the support body 110 has a flat bottom surface, and the upper surface forms a curved valley 111 where the height is relatively higher at the left and right ends and relatively lower at the center. A hollow space is formed inside the support body 110, and the drive unit 130, which will be described later, is housed inside.
[0032] In the case of a curved valley 111, the head support portion 120, described later, has a curvature that allows it to slide smoothly to the left or right. The curved valley 111 is provided with a binding slit 112 and a receiving groove 113, and a worm shaft support base 114 may be provided on the inside.
[0033] The fastening slit 112 represents a space into which the fastening means 122, which protrudes downward from the lower side of the head support portion 120 (described later), is inserted. As long as the fastening means 122 is fastened to the fastening slit 112, it is possible to prevent the head support portion 120 from being lifted above or separated from the support body portion 110.
[0034] One end of such a fastening slit 112 is formed to be wide enough for the fastening means 122 to be inserted, while the remaining area is formed to be narrow so as not to be lifted upward by the fastening means 122.
[0035] The receiving groove 113 represents a space into which the rotating shaft module 131 of the drive unit 130, which will be described later, is inserted. Within the receiving groove 113, the rotating shaft module 131 may be positioned so that both ends face the width direction of the support body 110. Alternatively, the rotating shaft module 131 may rotate within the receiving groove 113 with both ends as the axis of rotation.
[0036] The worm shaft support 114 is a space into which the end of the worm shaft 134, described later, is inserted. Inside the worm shaft support 114, a bearing 114a is provided so as to minimize the frictional force generated at the end of the worm shaft 134 when the worm shaft 134 rotates. The bearing 114a connects to the end of the worm shaft 134 and also plays a role in supporting the worm shaft 134 so that it can rotate stably while maintaining a horizontal position when the worm shaft 134 rotates.
[0037] On the other hand, in one embodiment, multiple wheels are provided on the curved valley 111, and wheel grooves are formed inwardly in a concave shape to accommodate these multiple wheels. There may be at least four or more wheel grooves, and the wheels are rotatably mounted within the wheel grooves. In this case, each wheel maintains contact with the lower surface of the head support portion 120, which will be described later, and plays a role in supporting the lower surface of the head support portion 120 when the head support portion 120 slides to the left or to the right, as well as rotating to allow the head support portion 120 to slide smoothly to the left or to the right. These multiple wheels may be made of rubber or silicone material to prevent slipping.
[0038] In one embodiment, a lower cover is provided on the lower side of the support body 110. The lower cover may be bolted to the support body 110 with a plurality of bolts on the lower side of the support body 110, and the lower cover may be separated from the support body 110 by releasing the bolts.
[0039] Figure 7 is a diagram showing the lower surface of the head support portion 120 in more detail.
[0040] As shown in Figure 7, the head support portion 120 plays a role in ensuring that the user's head is securely positioned. While securely positioned above the aforementioned support body portion 110, it slides horizontally along the curved groove 111, thereby rotating the user's head horizontally.
[0041] More specifically, the head support portion 120 is formed in accordance with the shape of the curved valley 111. The upper part of the head support portion 120 is formed with the height of the left and right ends being relatively higher and the height of the center being relatively lower, thus forming the curved valley 121. The user's head can be securely placed in the curved valley 121.
[0042] The lower part of the head support 120 is also formed in a curved shape to correspond to the aforementioned curved valley 111, so that when the head support 120 slides to the left or right, the user's head remains firmly in place on the curved valley 121 and rotates to the left or right while maintaining that position.
[0043] This head support portion 120 can be slid to the left or right by a drive unit 130, which will be described later. For this reason, the lower side of the head support portion 120 is provided with multiple wheel slits for the multiple wheels of the support body portion 110 to make close contact with it. In the case of wheel slits, they are formed along the length direction on the lower surface of the head support portion 120, and when the head support portion 120 is attached to the support body portion 110, the multiple wheels of the support body portion 110 can make close contact with the wheel slits of the head support portion 120. In this state, when the head support portion 120 slides to the left or right, the multiple wheels will rotate along the wheel slits.
[0044] Furthermore, a contact pad is provided on the lower side of the head support portion 120 so as to be in close contact with the worm roller 133 of the drive unit 130 (described later) and to transmit the rotational force of the worm roller 133.
[0045] The contact pad is formed lengthwise from the underside of the head support 120 and positioned to make close contact with the worm roller 133, which will be described later. At this time, due to the material properties of the contact pad, slippage is prevented, so when the worm roller 133 rotates, the contact pad is pushed out. The contact pad is positioned on the underside of the head support 120, thereby causing the head support 120 to slide to the left or right. Such a contact pad may be made of rubber or silicone.
[0046] Furthermore, a fastening means 122 is provided on the lower side of the head support portion 120 for insertion into the aforementioned fastening slit 112. The fastening means 122 is fastened to the fastening slit 112, and when the head support portion 120 slides, the fastening means 122 moves along the fastening slit 112 while being fastened to it.
[0047] On the other hand, the head support section 120 can be made of a material strong enough to adequately support the weight of the user's head (for example, 6 kg), and the curved groove 121 on the upper side of the head support section 120 can be covered with a fluffy material cover. In the case of the cover, any material commonly used for pillowcases can be used, and when it gets dirty, it can be easily separated from the head support section 120 and made of a material that can be washed with water.
[0048] Furthermore, although not shown in the drawings, the binding slit 112 of the support body 110 may be provided with a sensor (not shown) to detect that the binding means 122 does not reach the very end of the binding slit 112. The sensor can be applied to limit the range of movement so that the binding means 122 does not reach the very end of the binding slit 112 and separate or detach from the binding slit 112. The sensor can also determine, based on the position of the binding means 122, whether the head support 120 is currently tilted or located in the center of the curved valley 111. Therefore, if the user is not using the anti-snoring smart artificial intelligence swing pillow 100, the control unit 140, described later, can control the current state of the head support 120 (meaning it has been slid to the left or right) to its original state (where the head support 120 is located in the center of the curved valley 111) by controlling the stepping motor 135 of the drive unit 130 based on the sensor's detection results.
[0049] The drive unit 130 plays the role of providing power to slide the head support unit 120 between the support body 110 and the head support unit 120 using motor power. This will be explained in more detail as follows.
[0050] Figure 8 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the drive unit 130 in more detail, Figure 9 is a diagram showing the rotary shaft module 131, worm gear 132, and worm roller 133 in more detail, and Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view showing the coupling state of the worm gear 132 and worm shaft 134.
[0051] As shown in Figures 8 to 10, the drive unit 130 may be broadly composed of a rotating shaft module 131, a worm gear 132, a worm roller 133, a worm shaft 134, and a stepping motor 135.
[0052] The rotating shaft module 131 is inserted into a receiving groove 113 formed on a curved valley 111 of the support body 110, and plays the role of rotating with the width direction of the support body 110 as the axis of rotation. The rotating shaft module 131 is provided with a worm gear 132 and a worm roller 133. In addition, bearings 131a may be provided at both ends of the rotating shaft module 131 to minimize frictional force when the rotating shaft module 131 rotates.
[0053] The worm gear 132 is mounted on the rotating shaft module 131 and, when meshed and coupled with the worm shaft 134 (described later), rotates together with the stepping motor 135 when the worm shaft 134 rotates, thereby transmitting the rotational force of the stepping motor 135 to the worm roller 133. One side of such a worm gear 132 may be provided with a bolt fastening groove 132a for fastening a bolt to secure the worm gear 132 so that it does not slip when inserted into the rotating shaft module 131.
[0054] The worm roller 133, positioned at the center of the rotating shaft module 131, comes into contact with the contact pad on the lower side of the aforementioned head support portion 120. In this state, when the worm gear 132 transmits the rotational force of the stepping motor 135, it rotates and pushes the contact pad. Here, pushing the contact pad means sliding the head support portion 120 to the left or to the right.
[0055] Such a worm roller 133 may be made of rubber or silicone material to prevent slippage.
[0056] The worm shaft 134 is meshed and coupled with the worm gear 132, and is meshed and coupled with the worm gear 132 at a 90-degree angle to it. One end of the worm shaft 134 is connected to the stepping motor 135, and rotates clockwise or counterclockwise by the motor driving force of the stepping motor 135. The other end of the worm shaft 134 may be inserted into the worm shaft support base 114 provided within the aforementioned support body 110.
[0057] In this case, the worm shaft 134 may not be integrally connected to the stepping motor 135, but rather connected to the rotating shaft of the stepping motor 135 via a mating coupling. Therefore, when the worm shaft 134 wears out, it can be easily replaced from the stepping motor 135.
[0058] The stepping motor 135 is connected to the worm shaft 134 within the support body 110 and uses its driving force to rotate the worm shaft 134 clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby causing the worm roller 133, which is connected to the worm gear 132 and the rotating shaft module 131, to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
[0059] More specifically, the stepping motor 135 can be firmly fixed within the support body 110 via a stepping motor fixing bracket 115 provided within the support body 110, and will have rotational driving force via external electricity. This will cause the worm shaft 134 to rotate, and the worm gear 132 meshing with the worm shaft 134 will rotate, causing the rotating shaft module 131 to rotate as well. The rotation of the rotating shaft module 131 will cause the worm roller 133 to rotate, which will cause the worm roller 133 to press against the contact pad, and as a result the head support 120 will slide to the left or to the right.
[0060] On the other hand, as shown in the concept of calculating the torque of the worm roller 133 and the required reduction ratio due to the load of the user's head between the worm gear 132 and the worm shaft 134 in the present invention, it is as follows:
[0061] Figure 11 is a diagram illustrating the concept for calculating the torque of the worm roller 133 and the required reduction ratio based on the load of the user's head, which is securely attached to the head support 120.
[0062] As shown in Figure 11, assuming that the user's head load is 6 kg, the load of the user's head applied to the head support 120 can be calculated using the following formula.
[0063]
number
[0064] Here, m is the load on the user's head (kg), and g is the acceleration due to gravity (m / s²). 2 ) and θ is the angle between the worm roller 133 and the user's head.
[0065] Furthermore, the torque of the worm roller 133 required to support the load of the user's head applied to the worm roller 133 during this process can be calculated using the following formula.
[0066]
number
[0067] Furthermore, the required reduction ratio can be calculated using the following formula.
[0068]
number
[0069] On the other hand, the aforementioned calculated value can be changed at will depending on the weight of the user's head.
[0070] Next, we will explain the process by which the control unit 140 analyzes the user's snoring sound and then controls the stepping motor 135 to guide the user's head to rotate.
[0071] Figure 12 is a diagram illustrating the concept of controlling the stepping motor 135 based on the results of the control unit 140's analysis of the user's snoring sound.
[0072] As shown in Figure 12, the control unit 140 analyzes the user's snoring sound input through a microphone device installed in the user terminal, and controls the rotation speed, rotation direction, and number of rotations of the stepping motor 135 based on the snoring pattern inference value obtained from the analysis results.
[0073] Therefore, the control unit 140 can provide the user terminal (such as a smartphone) with a dedicated application that can be installed on the user terminal, and the support body 110 described above may be equipped with a radar sensor module and a wired / wireless network communication module (for example, a Bluetooth® sensor).
[0074] A dedicated application installed on the user's terminal acquires the user's snoring and breathing sounds through a microphone device while the user is sleeping. The control unit 140 calculates a snoring pattern inference value using a deep learning inference engine based on the snoring and breathing sounds received through the user's terminal. The control unit 140 also receives the snoring pattern inference value through a wired or wireless network communication module.
[0075] Meanwhile, the radar sensor module provided on the support body 110 can measure sleep data (for example, sleep start time, sleep wake-up time, number of times the user turns over during sleep, the user's heart rate during sleep, the number of respirations during sleep, etc.) while the user is sleeping, and transmit this data to the user terminal via a wired or wireless network communication module (such as a Bluetooth® sensor). At this time, the transmitted sleep data is transferred to a dedicated application on the user terminal according to a predetermined data format and protocol.
[0076] On the other hand, the processor (MCU) and stepping motor driver of the board on which the radar sensor module is mounted may be connected via UART serial communication, and the control unit 140 will transmit the snoring pattern inference values received via the aforementioned wired / wireless network communication module to the stepping motor driver via UART serial communication. The stepping motor driver will appropriately adjust the rotation speed, rotation direction, and number of rotations of the stepping motor 135 according to the transmitted snoring pattern inference values, thereby preventing snoring and sleep apnea syndrome by causing the user's head to naturally rotate to the left or right.
[0077] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the present invention, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
