Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the control method according to the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the snore stopping pillow 100. The snore stopping pillow 100 comprises an air bag group 32 and a snore detecting unit 35. The control method comprises the following steps:

step 01: judging whether the first snore times detected by the snore detecting unit 35 in the first preset time length are larger than or equal to a first preset time;

step 02: when the first snore frequency is greater than or equal to the first preset frequency within the first preset time, judging whether the second snore frequency detected by the snore detecting unit 35 within the second preset time is greater than or equal to the second preset frequency; and

step 03: and when the second snore frequency is greater than or equal to the second preset frequency within the second preset time, inflating and deflating the air bag group 32.

Referring to fig. 2, the snore stopping pillow 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a processor 15, an air bag set 32, a snore detecting unit 35, and an air passage device 40. The processor 15 is configured to determine whether the first snore time detected by the snore detecting unit 35 within the first preset time period is greater than or equal to a first preset time. The processor 15 is further configured to determine whether the second snore time detected by the snore detecting unit 35 in the second preset time period is greater than or equal to the second preset time when the first snore time is greater than or equal to the first preset time in the first preset time period. The air passage device 40 is used for inflating and deflating the air bag set 32 when the second snore time is greater than or equal to the second preset time within the second preset time.

The control method of the snore stopping pillow 100 according to the embodiment of the invention can be realized by the snore stopping pillow 100, wherein the

steps

01 and 02 can be realized by the processor 15, and the step 03 can be realized by the gas circuit device 40. In other embodiments, step 03 may also be implemented by the processor 15, for example, the processor 15 controls the air path device 40 to inflate and deflate the air bag set 32.

The control method of the snore stopping pillow 100 and the snore stopping pillow 100 in the embodiment of the invention judge that the user snores when the first snore frequency is greater than or equal to the first preset frequency in the first preset time and the second snore frequency is greater than or equal to the second preset frequency in the second preset time, so that the air bag group 32 is inflated and deflated, the snore stopping pillow 100 is further prevented from working frequently, the power consumption of the snore stopping pillow 100 is reduced, the service life of the snore stopping pillow 100 is prolonged, and the misoperation of the snore stopping pillow 100 can be reduced or avoided.

In some embodiments, the snore detecting unit 35 may include an acoustic-electric element (e.g., a microphone). The sound can be collected by the microphone and whether the sound is snore or not can be judged, so that the snore times can be obtained.

In some embodiments, the first and second preset durations may be the same or different. The value ranges of the first preset time period and the second preset time period may be, for example, 10S (seconds) to 25S. It should be noted that, if the values of the first preset time period and the second preset time period are small, for example, less than 10S, the number of times of snoring that can be detected by the snoring detection unit 35 in the first preset time period and the second preset time period is small, and when the snoring detection unit 35 makes a false determination, a false operation on the air bag group 32 is easily caused. If the values of the first preset time period and the second preset time period are larger, for example, larger than 25S, the snore stopping pillow 100 intervenes after the user snores for a longer time, so that the snore condition of the user cannot be improved in a timely manner. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first preset time period and the second preset time period are the same, for example, 15S.

It should be noted that the first predetermined number and the second predetermined number may be set according to a first preset duration and a second preset duration, respectively, where the first predetermined number is in positive correlation with the first preset duration, and the second predetermined number is in positive correlation with the second preset duration. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first preset time period and the second preset time period are both 15S, the first predetermined number of times and the second predetermined number of times may be 3.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the control method includes:

and when the first snore frequency is smaller than the first preset frequency within the first preset time, entering the step 01.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the processor 15 is further configured to:

and when the first snore frequency in the first preset time length is smaller than the first preset frequency, the step of judging whether the first snore frequency detected by the snore detecting unit 35 in the first preset time length is larger than or equal to the first preset frequency is carried out.

Therefore, whether the user snores can be judged again when the first snore frequency is smaller than the first preset frequency in the first preset time.

Specifically, if the first snore frequency is smaller than the first predetermined frequency within the first preset time period, it may be indicated that the user is not snoring, and therefore, the method may enter step 01 to determine whether the user is snoring again. For example, if the first preset time length is 15S, the first snore frequency is 1, the first preset frequency is 3, and the first snore frequency is less than the first preset frequency, it indicates that the snore detecting unit 35 makes a false judgment or the user only makes a snore once, and at this time, it may be determined that the user is not snoring.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the control method includes:

and when the second snore frequency is smaller than the second preset frequency within the second preset time, entering the step 01.

and when the second snore times in the second preset time length are smaller than the second preset times, the step of judging whether the first snore times detected by the snore detecting unit 35 in the first preset time length are larger than or equal to the first preset times is carried out.

Therefore, whether the user snores can be judged again when the second snore frequency is smaller than the second preset frequency in the second preset time.

Specifically, if the second snore frequency is smaller than the second predetermined frequency within the second preset time period, it may be indicated that the user is not snoring, so step 01 may be entered to re-determine whether the user is snoring. For example, if the first preset time length is 15S, the first number of times of snoring is 3, the first preset number of times is 3, and the first number of times of snoring is equal to the first preset number of times, it is determined that the user may snore (the user snores or makes a false judgment), and therefore, it is determined whether the second number of times of snoring in the second preset time length is greater than or equal to the second preset number of times, for example, if the second preset time length is 15S, the second number of times of snoring is 1, the second preset number of times is 3, and the second number of times of snoring is less than the second preset number of times, it is determined that the user is not snoring (the false judgment occurs in the first preset time length or the user has finished snoring).

In some embodiments, the inflation and deflation period for inflating and deflating the air bag set 32 is equal to a third predetermined period when the second number of snoring within the second predetermined period is greater than or equal to the second predetermined number.

Thus, the length of time for inflating and deflating the airbag group 32 can be set reasonably.

Specifically, the third preset duration may be the same as the first preset duration, or the third preset duration may be the same as the second preset duration, or the third preset duration, the first preset duration, and the second preset duration may be the same as or different from each other. The value range of the third preset duration may be, for example, 10S to 25S.

In some embodiments, the air passage means 40 is configured to continuously inflate and deflate the air bag module 32, such that the air bag module 32 is continuously inflated and deflated to enable the user's head to swing or move up and down, thereby adjusting the user's head to reduce or avoid snoring. Thus, when the inflation/deflation period is long, for example, the inflation/deflation period is longer than 25S, the user is likely to wake up due to a long head shake. When the inflation and deflation time period is short, for example, the inflation and deflation time period is less than 10S, the adjustment is insufficient, the head position of the user is unreasonable, the snoring condition of the user is not improved, and even adverse effects occur.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the snore stopping pillow 100 includes a head position detecting unit 50, and the head position detecting unit 50 is configured to detect a pressed position of the air bag set 32 when the user rests the head on the snore stopping pillow 100. Step 03 comprises:

step 032: the airbag module 32 is inflated and deflated according to the pressurized position.

Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the snore stopping pillow 100 includes a head position detecting unit 50, the head position detecting unit 50 is configured to detect a pressed position of the air bag set 32 when the user rests the head on the snore stopping pillow 100, and the air channel device 40 is configured to inflate and deflate the air bag set 32 according to the pressed position.

That is, step 032 may be implemented by the airway device 40.

In this manner, the air bag module 32 can be inflated and deflated according to the head position of the user.

Specifically, the snore stopping pillow 100 may include a plurality of air bag sets 32, and in order to improve the snore stopping effect of the snore stopping pillow 100, the head position detecting unit 50 may detect the pressed position of the air bag set 32 when the head of the user is rested on the snore stopping pillow 100, so that the appropriate air bag set 32 may be inflated and deflated according to the pressed position.

It should be noted that the head position detecting unit 50 may include, but is not limited to, a sensing device such as a pressure sensor or a capacitance sensor, for example, by disposing an air pressure sensor in the air bag set 32, so as to determine whether the corresponding air pressure set 32 is a pressed position according to an air pressure value sensed by the air pressure sensor.

Referring to fig. 12, in one example, the number of the airbag groups 32 is 6, which are numbered 1-6 in a predetermined direction (e.g., from left to right), and if the airbag groups 32 numbered 2 and 3 are determined to be in the pressed position, the airbag groups 32 numbered 2-3 may be inflated and deflated, for example, the airbag group 32 numbered 2 is inflated first, the airbag group 32 numbered 3 is deflated, the airbag group 32 numbered 2 is deflated, and the airbag group numbered 3 is inflated.

Referring to fig. 12, in another example, the number of the air bag groups 32 is 6, which are numbered 1-6 in a predetermined direction (e.g., from left to right), if the air bag group 32 numbered 1 is determined to be in the pressed position, the air bag group 32 numbered 2 may be deflated, and the air bag group 32 numbered 1 may be inflated to move the head of the user to a position close to the middle position, so as to prevent the head of the user from falling outside the snore stopping pillow 100 and waking up. The airbag group 32 numbered 2-3 is inflated and deflated, for example, the airbag group 32 numbered 2 is inflated, the airbag group 32 numbered 3 is deflated, the airbag group 32 numbered 2 is deflated, and the airbag group numbered 3 is inflated.

Referring to fig. 7, the snore stopping pillow 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes one or more processors 15, an air bag set 32, a snore detecting unit 35, an air channel device 40, a memory 60, and one or more programs. Where one or more programs are stored in the memory 60 and configured to be executed by the one or more processors 15. The program includes instructions for executing the control method of any one of the above embodiments.

For example, the program includes instructions for executing the control method described in the following steps:

For another example, the program further includes instructions for executing the control method described in the following steps:

Referring to fig. 8, a computer readable storage medium 800 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a computer program for use in conjunction with the anti-snoring pillow 100. The computer program is executable by the processor 15 to perform the control method of any of the above embodiments.

For example, the computer program may be executed by the processor 15 to perform the control method described in the following steps:

As another example, the computer program may also be executable by the processor 15 to perform a control method as described in the following steps:

It should be noted that the computer readable storage medium 800 may be a storage medium built in the snore stopping pillow 100, or may be an external storage medium that can be plugged into the snore stopping pillow 100.

In some embodiments, the control method of the snore stopping pillow 100 of the present invention can be used to control the snore stopping pillow 100 as described below.

Referring to fig. 9, the snore stopping pillow 100 includes an air bag module 30 and an air passage device 40. The air passage device 40 inflates and deflates the air bag module 30. The air bag module 30 can be disposed inside the pillow portion, and the air path device 40 can be disposed outside the pillow portion, so that the related electronic and electrical components can be far away from the head of the user, and the safety of the user in using the snore stopping pillow 100 is improved. The pillow head part can comprise a pillow core and a pillow case, wherein the pillow core is arranged on the air bag component 30, and the pillow core and the air bag component 30 are arranged in the pillow case.

Referring to fig. 10, the airbag module 30 includes a base 36, a first flexible body 31, a second flexible body 33, a common base 38, an airbag module 32, and a microphone mounting box 34.

The base 36 may be reinforced canvas.

The first flexible body 31 is arranged on a base 36. The first flexible body 31 is opened with a containing hole 312. The first flexible body 31 may be a sponge. In other embodiments, the first flexible body 31 is not limited to be made of sponge, but may be made of other materials, such as latex, silica gel, silk floss, etc.

The second flexible body 33 may be a sponge. The second soft bodies 33 are respectively arranged on the side of the base 36 opposite to the first soft body 31, and the first soft body 31 and the second soft body 33 are arranged to avoid abrasion of the base 36. In other embodiments, the second flexible body 33 is not limited to be made of sponge, but may be made of other materials, such as latex, silica gel, silk floss, etc. The materials of the first flexible body 31 and the second flexible body 33 may be the same or different.

Referring to fig. 11-13, the common bottom layer 38 and the plurality of air bag sets 32 are disposed on the base 36 and received in the receiving holes 312, in other words, the common bottom layer 38 and the plurality of air bag sets 32 are positioned on the base 36 in the receiving holes 312, so as to prevent the plurality of air bag sets 32 from moving during inflation and deflation. Specifically, a common base layer 38 is secured to the base 36 and a plurality of airbag modules 32 are secured to the common base layer 38. During installation, the plurality of airbag modules 32 may be secured to the common base layer 38, and the common base layer 38 with the plurality of airbag modules 32 may be integrally bonded to the reinforcement canvas. Therefore, the production and assembly efficiency is improved. The plurality of airbag modules 32 are inflated and raised, and the support area of the airbag modules 32 is larger and more stable due to the common bottom layer 38.

The plurality of air bag groups 32 are arranged at intervals, the centers of the plurality of air bag groups 32 are on the same straight line, and the distance between every two adjacent air bag groups 32 is more than 5mm, so that the adjacent air bag groups 32 can not interfere with each other in the inflation and deflation process. It is understood that two adjacent air pocket sets 32 may be spaced apart by a distance of 5.1mm, 5.5mm, 6.2mm, 7mm, etc. Of course, the distance separating two adjacent air bag sets 32 is not limited to the above distance, and may be other suitable distances greater than 5 mm. In addition, the upper limit value of the distance between two adjacent air bag sets 32 can be determined according to the number of the air bag sets 32 and the size of the snore stopping pillow 100, and is not particularly limited herein.

Referring to fig. 14, each air bag set 32 includes a plurality of air chamber layers 322 stacked one on another, and two adjacent air chamber layers 322 are connected. In this manner, the height of each pocket set 32 is easily controlled. Specifically, each pocket set 32 includes at least 3 pocket levels 322, which allows the pocket set 32 to reach a sufficient height to achieve the anti-snoring function. In an embodiment of the present invention, each air pocket set 32 includes 4 air pocket layers 322. Of course, in other embodiments, each air pocket set 32 may include other numbers of air pocket layers 322, such as 3, 5, or 6.

Further, two adjacent air chamber layers 322 are connected and ventilated. In this manner, the strength and stability of the connection between the air cell layers 322 after the inflation is raised is ensured.

The microphone mounting case 34 is positioned on the base 36 and is accommodated in the accommodation hole 312, and the microphone mounting case 34 is provided at a distance from the air bag unit 32. A microphone (e.g., snore detecting unit 35 shown in fig. 2) is mounted in the microphone mounting box 34. It is understood that a microphone is used to collect sound.

Referring to fig. 9, the air passage device 40 includes a control box assembly 10 and an air tube assembly 20. The air tube assembly 20 connects the control box assembly 10 and the air bag assembly 30. The control box assembly 10 can be disposed outside the pillow portion, such that the related electronic and electrical components can be far away from the head of the user, thereby improving the safety of the user in using the snore stopping pillow 100.

Referring to fig. 15 to 18, the control box assembly 10 includes an inflator 12, a suction pump 14, a first muffler 16, a second muffler 18, and a valve body 11. The inflator 12 is provided with a first air outlet 122 and a first air inlet 124. The suction pump 14 is provided with a second air outlet 142 and a second air inlet 144. The first silencer 16 connects the first inlet port 124 and the second outlet port 142. The second muffler 18 connects the first outlet port 122 and the valve body 11. The valve body 11 is connected to the second intake port 144.

In this way, during the process of inflating and deflating the snore stopping pillow 100, the air flow is silenced by the first silencer 16 and/or the second silencer 18, thereby reducing the influence of noise on the sleep of the user.

It will be appreciated that upon inflation, inflator 12 is activated and air enters inflator 12 from first muffler 16 through first inlet port 124, then enters second muffler 18 through first outlet port 122, and then enters the assembly of air bag 32 through valve body 11 and air tube assembly 20. When the air is discharged, the air pump 14 is started, and the air in the air bag module 30 enters the valve body 11 through the air pipe module 20, enters the air pump 14 through the second air inlet 144, enters the first silencer 16 through the second air outlet 142, and is finally discharged outwards from the first silencer 16. During inflation, the air flow is silenced by the first silencer 16 and the second silencer 18; during the air bleeding, the air flow is silenced by the first silencer 16.
