Description

Electronic snore stopper

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a snore stopper, in particular to an electronic snore stopper capable of being adjusted in a self-adaptive mode.

Background

Snoring refers to the sound of snoring caused by the vibration of the uvula (uvula) due to upper airway stenosis during sleep. Snoring may be caused by tonsil hypertrophy, tongue enlargement, excessive drinking, and the like. Snoring can lead to daytime sleepiness, weakness, inattention, headache, decreased working ability, etc. Snoring is an independent risk factor for hypertension, and severe snoring is often accompanied by sleep apnea syndrome.

At present, surgical treatment, laser treatment and drug treatment are mainly adopted as methods for treating snoring during sleep, but practice proves that the methods are not obvious in curative effect, and the bolete can be reacted and certain harm and side effects can be caused to a human body after a period of time.

At present, three methods for treating snoring are generally adopted in the medical field:

continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in which air is infused directly into the patient using a respiratory mask;

second, uvula soft palate throat reshaping (UPPP), cutting to remove the soft palate and uvula to reduce the occlusion of the tongue;

third, a Mandible Advancer (MAD), an appliance made by a dental method, causes the mandible to bite in a forward extending position. The CPAP has the most obvious effects of improving apnea and oxygen content, but many people cannot bear the sleep feeling, cover a breathing mask on the face and carry an inflator when going out for a trip; UPPP seems to be once and for all, but many research reports show improvements of only fifty percent, and possibly recurrence; although the improvement in using MADs can be as much as seventy percent, it is uncomfortable to bite the MAD while sleeping, and if the shape and size of the MAD are not designed for an individual, it can cause gum soreness and problems with the jaw joints and muscles.

The electronic snore stopper has an intelligent snore recognition function and automatically adjusts the physical treatment strength of the chip on an appointed acupuncture point, so that the tension of the overhung muscles of the throat of a patient is promoted to change, the originally blocked respiratory tract is recovered to be smooth, the most comfortable breathing effect is achieved, and the electronic snore stopper almost immediately takes effect.

Nowadays, electronic snore relieving devices are mainly divided into: wrist type and ear type.

The principle of the wrist type snore stopper is that when a organism micro-detector in a machine body detects that the snore of a user exceeds 65 decibels for three times continuously, the machine body outputs a weak electric pulse with the length of 4 seconds to stimulate the skin of the user, and the stimulation enables the user to generate the following reflecting behaviors, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing or inhibiting the snore. The technology is possibly influenced by sounds other than the snore, the circuit lacks of distinguishing the snore from the noise, for example, when noise and dream sound exist outside, misoperation can be avoided, false alarm exists, the circuit is easy to cause false triggering, an electric stimulus is generated for a user, the pulse voltage stimulates the patient to feel that the patient feels acupuncturing pain, the sleep quality of the patient can be influenced, the user is forced to wake up from deep sleep, the snore is small, but the sleep quality is reduced; when the snore detector is worn on a hand, the snore detection is possibly influenced by being shielded by a quilt or other objects, so that the detection is inaccurate.

The ear-worn snore stopper detects whether snoring occurs by combining a bone conduction technology, sound discrimination and the like, and realizes the snore stopping by adopting a pure physical intervention principle of micro sound and micro vibration, and has the defects that the sleep is interfered by adopting a vibration mode, and the sleep quality is reduced; the in-ear type interferes with the user's sleep hearing.

Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present novel embodiments clearer, the technical solutions in the present novel embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present novel embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1-2, the electronic snore stopper provided in the present embodiment is worn on the jaw of a face, and includes an audio sampler, a central controller, an audio signal transmitter, an adaptive regulator, a control button, a display screen, a memory, and a power source. The central controller is respectively connected with the audio signal gain amplifier, the self-adaptive regulator, the audio signal emitter, the control button, the display screen, the memory and the power supply. The audio sampler and the audio signal transmitter are both positioned on the machine body close to the jaw bone beside the ear. The audio sampler is used for collecting sound signals and converting the collected sound signals into electric signals; an audio signal gain amplifier for amplifying the electrical signal; the central controller comprises an audio identification module and a white noise generation module, wherein the audio identification module is used for identifying the amplified electric signal and determining first snore; the white noise generation module is used for determining white noise according to the first snore; the audio signal transmitter is used for converting the white noise signal into a vibration signal and transmitting the vibration signal; and the self-adaptive regulator is used for regulating the white noise according to the collected sound signal after the vibration signal is sent. White noise is noise with a uniform and continuous spectrum, and has the function of covering other sounds, and white noise generated by compiling has the function of covering other sounds to assist sleep.

In one example, the audio sampler comprises a bone conduction collector and the audio signal transmitter comprises a bone conduction transmitter. Bone conduction refers to the transmission of sound waves through the vibration of the skull, jaw bone, etc., e.g., a bone conduction transmitter transmits sound waves to the inner ear through the vibration of the skull, jaw bone, etc. In addition, the audio sampler may also employ a conventional microphone and the audio signal emitter may also employ a conventional speaker.

Adding a high-frequency signal into a white noise audio frequency synthesized when a user snores, so that the user temporarily reduces a bit of sleep depth, and the throat muscle relaxed by the user recovers a bit of tension, thereby stopping the snore. After the self-adaptive adjustment is carried out for a period of time, white noise which is most suitable for the user can be synthesized, so that the snore can be relieved, and the sleep quality of the user can be ensured to the maximum extent.

It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the present invention is not restricted to details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but that it can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.
