Description

Sleep inducing capsule for baby {Sleep inducing capsule for baby}

The present invention relates to a sleep induction capsule for infants, and more particularly, by effectively inducing quality sleep in infants under 36 months of age, thereby extending the duration of the child's sleep state so that the child grows physically and mentally healthier through sufficient sleep. The present invention relates to a sleep induction capsule for infants, which assists development and secures sufficient sleeping space around the child, thereby preventing safety accidents such as crushing and falling even if the child sleeps with the parents.

In general, since infants (babies) spend most of their lives lying down or sleeping because their body muscles are not sufficiently developed and their bones are not sufficiently hardened, securing a space for infants to rest or sleep is important. In addition, since infants have no choice but to transmit various expressions or signals through crying, the protection of guardians is absolutely necessary.

Accordingly, in recent years, various baby care products have been developed to help infants sleep or rest comfortably while securing a sleeping space for infants, soothe (calm down) infants' crying, and reduce the caregivers' labor force when caring for infants. is being used. For example, typical baby care products include a bouncer or a crib (cradle).

However, these conventional technologies are mainly limited to a vibration function that automatically shakes a crib (cradle) or a bouncer in one place, and due to the monotony of vibration transmitted in one place, the baby can easily get tired of it or not be able to sleep. There was a problem that there was a limit to putting the baby to sleep without a hand and soothing the crying baby.

In particular, newborn babies who have grown vitality while listening to the regular heartbeat in their mother's belly for 10 months cannot easily fall asleep or feel psychological stability with only monotonous vibration or shaking. Effective induction is practically limited.

It is divided and the direction is specified according to this direction criterion in the description related to the other drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the sleeping capsule according to the present invention includes an arcuate frame 110 and a spherical support dome 120 extending upward from the frame 110 and having an open front surface. The body 100, which covers the support dome 120, is rotatably mounted on the support dome 120 to selectively shield the open front surface of the support dome 120, and the cover dome has an open front surface. 200, a sound source output unit 400 disposed inside the frame 110 and outputting a sound source, an air conditioning unit 300 simultaneously supplying purified air and sleep inducing scent to the inside of the frame 110, infant's body A radar unit 500 that outputs a radar signal and receives a reflected signal to measure a sleep state, and the sound source output unit 400 and the air conditioner based on the infant's sleep state measured by the radar unit 500 ( 300) may be defined as including a control unit 600 for controlling.

As shown in FIG. 2, a state in which the cover dome 200 is rotated to the rear surface of the support dome 120 and the open front surface of the support dome 120 is fully opened is referred to as an open state, and as shown in FIG. A state in which the cover dome 200 rotates toward the front of the support dome 120 to completely close the open front surface of the support dome 120 is referred to as a closed state of the sleep capsule.

First, the body 100 is integrally formed with the frame 110 and the support dome 120, and constitutes the overall appearance of the sleeping capsule.

The main body 100 may be in an open state, and the open front may be selectively shielded by operating the cover dome 200 .

Parts of the sound source output unit 400 and the air conditioning unit 300 may be accommodated inside the main body 100, and a user, for example, an infant, may be accommodated when the sleeping capsule is in use.

The body 100, the cover dome 200, the sound source output unit 400, and the air conditioning unit 300 are configured so as not to form any contact with the body of the infant accommodated inside the body 100, so that the infant using the sleeping capsule It is configured so that there is no sense of alienation.

Again, the first rotary coupler 121 may be formed through the upper end of the support dome 120 of the main body 100 in the upper and lower directions.

In addition, an arch-shaped reinforcing member 122 may be formed around the first rotary coupler 121 on the upper surface of the support dome 120 . The reinforcing member 122 provides strength to the support dome 120 to prevent the support dome 120 from being easily deformed by an external force.

In particular, as much as the infant is accommodated inside the support dome 120, there is no shortage of emphasis again on the strength improvement of the support dome 120.

In the integral configuration of the frame 110 and the support dome 120, a step 130 may be formed horizontally at a connection point between the frame 110 and the support dome 120. The step 130 is a part where the lower end of the cover dome 200 is supported, guides the cover dome 200 when the cover dome 200 rotates, and at the same time, a stopper for limiting the downward movement of the cover dome 200 play a role

If the lower end of the cover dome 200 is not properly supported, the cover dome 200 may drop downward due to the weight of the cover dome 200 itself.

Since only the upper part of the cover dome 200 is coupled to the support dome 120 and the lower circumference is formed in the form of a free end, stability may deteriorate if the lower end, which is the free end, is not properly supported.

That is, since the step 130 supports the cover dome 200 from below, the cover dome 200 can be firmly maintained on the upper portion of the support dome 120 .

Next, the cover dome 200 is formed in a form complementary to the support dome 120 and rotates toward the open front surface of the support dome 120 to form a blackout inside the main body 100.

A second rotation coupler 210 communicating with the first rotation coupler 121 of the support dome 120 may be formed on the upper surface of the cover dome 200, and the first rotation coupler 121 and The rotation shaft 220 may be fitted and coupled so as to mutually penetrate the two rotation couplers 210.

The rotating shaft 220 serves as a rotation reference for the cover dome 200. For example, a plurality of elastic pieces 222 are arranged in a circular shape below the head portion 221 of the disk, and between adjacent elastic pieces 222. has a gap space 223, a hollow groove 224 is formed in the center of a plurality of elastic pieces 222 arranged in a circle, and a locking jaw 225 protrudes outward at the bottom of each elastic piece 222. can be exemplified.

As the rotation shaft 220 configured as described above is coupled, when the rotation shaft 220 is inserted into the open second rotation coupler 210 as shown in FIG. 7, the second rotation coupler 210 or the second rotation coupler 210 1. As the locking jaw 225 contacts the inner wall surface of the rotation coupler 121, the elastic pieces 222 are elastically deformed and shrink into the hollow groove 224, and then the rotation shaft 220 is completely inserted into the locking jaw 225. When exposed to the open lower end of the first rotary coupler 121, the elastic piece 222 is restored to its original state by the elastic restoring force, and the locking jaw 225 is around the open lower end of the first rotary coupler 121. It becomes a structure that can be caught.

At the same time, when the locking key 226 is fitted to the lower end of the hollow groove 224, it is possible to prevent the elastic pieces 222 from shrinking toward the hollow groove 224, resulting in the disassembly of the rotating shaft 220. can be prevented.

That is, strong coupling between the cover dome 200 and the support dome 120 is ensured on the line where the cover dome 200 is rotatable on the support dome 120 by the combination of the rotation shaft 220 and the lock key 226. A structure is provided.

The same reinforcing member 250 as the reinforcing member 122 of the support dome 120 described above may be formed around the second rotary coupler 210 on the upper surface of the cover dome 200 .

A handle 230 may extend below the open front surface of the cover dome 200, and the cover dome 200 may be rotated by holding the handle 230.

A strut 240 capable of fixing the curtain member 260 may be formed around the lower end of the cover dome 200, and the curtain member 260 is fixed to the straddle jaw 240 in a closed state of the sleep capsule. In this case, the open portion of the frame 110 opened to the lower portion of the cover dome 200 may be completely blocked to configure the inside of the main body 100 in a completely blackout state.

The curtain member 260 is preferably made of blackout fabric.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the air conditioning unit 300 includes a chamber 310 disposed outside the main body 100 and having an open top, a suction fan 320 for sucking outside air into the chamber 310, A plurality of suction holes 331 are formed and an upper cover 330 mounted on the open top of the chamber 310, a purification filter 340 disposed around the suction hole 331 of the upper cover 330, The air freshener 350 and one side embedded in the chamber 310 communicate with the chamber 310 to receive purified air therein, and the other side is disposed toward the inside of the frame 110 to purify the air supplied to the inside. It may be exemplified as including a pipe member 360 for discharging air into the body 100 .

First, the chamber 310 is disposed outside the main body 100 so that the fan noise of the suction fan 320 driven inside the chamber 310 is not directly transmitted toward the head of the infant accommodated inside the main body 100. have a structure that

The chamber 310 has a structure in which the inner space becomes narrower toward the bottom and increases the flow rate of the sucked outside air. Accordingly, the outside air sucked into the chamber 310 may be discharged into the main body 100 by passing along the pipe member 360 to the other end of the pipe member 360 while the flow rate is increased.

The suction fan 320 is provided in a line that satisfies 35 dB or less in fan noise, and whether or not to operate under the control of the control unit 600, or the rotation output can be controlled.

The suction fan 320 sucks outside air into the chamber 310, and the sucked outside air is discharged into the body 100 through the pipe member 360.

For example, the suction fan 320 is a low-noise fan circulates outside air outside the main body 100 into the main body 100, selects a BLDC fan that satisfies low noise, reproduces a cool wind like natural wind, and satisfies the internal air circulation. do.

The upper cover 330 closes the upper end of the open chamber 310 and allows outside air to pass through the suction hole 331 .

The purification filter 340 and the air freshener 350 may be disposed inside the chamber 310 or the upper cover 330 so that they can be replaced, and the purification filter 340 is a known non-woven filter, HEPA filter, carbon It is made of a filter, etc., and the air freshener 350 having a scent such as aroma, phytoncide, or herb can be used in order to induce psychological stability of infants.

Outside air sucked into the chamber 310 may be purified by the purifying filter 340, then passed through the air freshener 350, mixed with the fragrance of the air freshener 350, and then discharged into the main body 100. In the description below, purified air means a state in which the fragrance of the air freshener 350 is included.

The pipe member 360 forms a moving space in which purified air is moved to the inside and extends from the chamber 310 disposed outside the main body 100 to the inside of the main body 100 .

At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, a connection port 361 to which the chamber 310 is connected may be formed on the upper surface of one side of the pipe member 360, and a discharge port 362 through which purified air is discharged may be formed on the front surface of the other side. can

In addition, an adjusting member 363 for adjusting the discharge amount of purified air may be installed in the discharge port 362 .

The control member 363 is formed in a cylindrical shape, a discharge slit 363a penetrates the front side, a manipulation protrusion 363b protrudes from the lower end of the discharge slit 363a, and the rear surface facing the discharge slit 363a is open. Shaft members 363c may be formed on the left and right sides to serve as a rotation reference for the control member 363 and to be shaft-coupled to the rotation table 362a formed on the left and right sides of the discharge port 362.

The purified air moved around the outlet 362 may pass through the open rear surface of the control member 363 and be discharged to the outside through the discharge slit 363a.

In this process, as shown in FIG. 10 , the amount of opening of the discharge slit 363a may be adjusted by rotating the control member 363 by lifting or lowering the control protrusion 363b by hand.

For example, when the adjusting member 363 is rotated upward, the opening amount of the discharge slit 363a may be reduced while the upper portion of the discharge slit 363a is received inside the pipe member 360. Accordingly, it is possible to easily adjust the discharge amount of the purified air only by rotating the control member 363.

Next, the sound source output unit 400 provides stereophonic sound to the infant accommodated inside the main body 100 in a non-contact manner.

Usually, earphones, headsets, etc. are installed in the ears for sleep induction, but in this embodiment, a structure capable of minimizing foreign body sensation is provided by indirectly providing a sound source without physical contact with the infant.

To this end, as shown in FIG. 11, the sound source output unit 400 is seated on the top of the other side of the pipe member 360 and the case 410 in which the first sound source output port 411 is formed, one end of the case ( 410) is fixed by a ball joint method, and the other end is made in the form of a free end, and the second sound source output port 421 is formed at the other end. It may be exemplified as including a speaker module (not shown) built in and outputting a sound source to the first sound source output port 411 and the second sound source output port 421.

When the infant is accommodated in the main body 100, the second sound source output port 421 is located at a point spaced apart from the body of the infant by a certain distance, and the first sound source output port 411 may be located near the crown.

In this way, stereophonic sound effects can be seen through sound sources simultaneously output from the first sound source output port 411 and the second sound source output port 421 .

The first sound source output port 411 and the second sound source output port 421 may be understood as speakers, and the speaker module is a sound source generator that outputs a sound source signal. It consists of an amplifier that amplifies the sound source signal, and the first sound source output port 411 and the second sound source output port 421 can convert the electrical sound source signal amplified by the amplifier into audible sound waves and output them.

Although not shown, the first sound source output port 411 and the second sound source output port 421 may be configured to be connected to a speaker module through a signal line, respectively.

The type and volume of sound sources through the speaker module may be controlled by the controller 600 .

On the other hand, since each infant has a different body size and a different preferred sound intensity, a pair of sound source output arms 420 are freely rotatably provided on the case 410 in a ball joint manner, so that the sound source output arms ( 420) is configured to adjust the distance of the second sound source output port 421 from the body according to circumstances.

To this end, a ball joint 422 may be formed at one end of the sound source output arm 420, and a ball joint 422 complementary to the ball joint 422 of the sound source output arm 420 may be formed on both left and right sides of the case 410. A joint coupling portion 412 may be formed.

The coupling structure of the ball joint 422 and the joint coupling part 412 may be understood as a rotation structure such as pivot, tilt, and swivel.

An LED mood light 430 may be installed on the upper surface of the case 410, which may implement an alarm function by light. The LED mood lamp 430 may be controlled to turn on under the control of the control unit 600 .

Next, the radar unit 500 may be configured to measure the infant's current sleep state by measuring breathing, heart rate, movement, HRV, etc. of the infant using a radar signal. At this time, the radar unit 500 may be configured to scan a radar signal to the infant's chest or face and receive a signal reflected from the chest or face. The period or frequency of the received signal changes whenever the chest or face moves due to respiration. The sleep pattern can be grasped or measured by the change trend of the frequency.

In addition, since these radar signals can be reflected or refracted in the inner space of the main body 100, there is an advantage in that measurement accuracy is further improved.

The sleep data measured by the radar unit 500 is transmitted to the controller 600, and the controller 600 controls the suction fan 320 of the air conditioning unit 300 and the speaker module of the sound source output unit 400 based on this. will control

For example, when the infant's sleep type is measured as REM sleep by the radar unit 500, the control unit 600 increases the output of the suction fan 320 while maintaining the volume of the sound source provided from the speaker module to purify it. The suction fan 320 and the speaker module are respectively controlled to saturate the air inside the main body 100 .

When the output of the suction fan 320 is increased, the temperature of the infant's head can be directly lowered, thereby suppressing body heat rising in the early stages of sleep, thereby effectively inducing NREM sleep.

When the infant's sleep type is measured as NREM sleep by the radar unit 500, the control unit 600 gradually reduces the volume of the sound source provided from the speaker module and the output of the suction fan 320 to cover the inside of the main body 100. It is composed quietly to induce deep sleep of infants.

The radar unit 500 includes a chest radar 510 built into the case 410 and outputting a radar signal toward the infant's chest and a pair of sound source output arms 420 embedded in the chest radar 510 that outputs a radar signal toward the infant's face. It may be composed of a face radar 520 that outputs.

That is, the radar unit 500 has a structure capable of more accurately measuring the sleep pattern by collecting sleep data measured on the infant's chest and face respectively.

The specific structure and operating principle of the radar unit 500 may be referenced from known radars that measure sleep patterns by monitoring respiration, heart rate, motion, HRV, and the like, so detailed descriptions are omitted.

The embodiments of the present invention described above are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, it will be well understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms mentioned in the detailed description above. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
