Description

本発明は、睡眠時無呼吸、腰痛、褥創等を予防するための寝返り装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a rollover device for preventing sleep apnea, back pain, wounds, and the like.

就寝中のいびきで悩む者および同一室内で就寝するパートナーは多い。また、発明者の調査によると、いつもいびきをかく人は成人男性の約２０％であり、その約５０％に軽度から高度の睡眠時無呼吸が合併している。睡眠時無呼吸症候群は、昼間の眠気から効率の低下や交通事故などにつながるばかりでなく、高血圧などの生活習慣病や突然死とも関係していることが医学界では周知の事実となってきている。   Many people suffer from snoring while sleeping and partners who sleep in the same room. According to the inventors' research, snoring is always about 20% of adult males, of which about 50% are associated with mild to severe sleep apnea. It has become a well-known fact in the medical community that sleep apnea syndrome is related not only to daytime sleepiness but also to reduced efficiency and traffic accidents, but also to lifestyle diseases such as hypertension and sudden death. Yes.

この睡眠時無呼吸等の防止のために、睡眠中の人の体位を変えるクッションやベッドがある。クッションについては特開平２００１−６１８７５、実開平６−５８９３５、特開２００２−２２３８９６に記載がある。特に、実開平６−５８９３５には、クッションに空気を送りこんでクッションを膨張させることによって睡眠中の人の体位を変えることが記載されている。また、ベッドについては特開平１１−３４２０４９及び特開２００３−３９６に記載がある。特に、特開２００３−３９６には、人の心拍、呼吸、体位を検知してベッドに空気を送りこむことが記載されている。
特開平２００１−６１８７５ 実開平６−５８９３５ 特開２００２−２２３８９６ 特開平１１−３４２０４９ 特開２００３−３９６ In order to prevent such sleep apnea, there are cushions and beds that change the posture of a sleeping person. The cushion is described in JP-A-2001-61875, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 6-58935, and JP-A-2002-223896. In particular, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-58935 describes changing the posture of a sleeping person by inflating the cushion by sending air to the cushion. The bed is described in JP-A-11-342049 and JP-A-2003-396. In particular, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-396 describes that air is sent to a bed by detecting a person's heartbeat, respiration, and posture.
JP 2001-61875 A 6-58935 JP2002-223896 JP 11-342049 A JP 2003-396 A

しかしながら、従来のクッションは、大きさや形が不適切なため完全な側臥位をとれずに、睡眠時の無呼吸を防止する効果がなかったり、腕がしびれたりして生理的欲求にこたえられず睡眠が浅くなったりするなどの問題がある。また、ベッドは装置自体が大きくて携帯も不可能である。   However, conventional cushions are inadequate in size and shape, so they cannot take a complete lateral position, have no effect on preventing sleep apnea, or have numbness in their arms and cannot meet their physiological needs. There are problems such as light sleep. Also, the bed is large and cannot be carried.

以上の問題を解決するために本発明では、膨縮自在なエアークッションと、エアークッションに接着された身体装着用具と、音感知センサー及び自動電源スイッチを有するエアーコンプレッサーと、エアークッションとエアーコンプレッサーを連結し、エアーコンプレッサーから供給される空気をエアークッションに送り込む連結管とを有している。さらに、エアークッションは円柱状の形状を有しており、大きさが底面の直径３０cm、高さ７０cmで、膨らむ際に身体が捻じれることなく側臥位をとれる。   In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, an inflatable and inflatable air cushion, a body wearing tool bonded to the air cushion, an air compressor having a sound detection sensor and an automatic power switch, an air cushion and an air compressor are provided. And a connecting pipe that feeds air supplied from the air compressor into the air cushion. Further, the air cushion has a cylindrical shape, and has a diameter of 30 cm at the bottom and a height of 70 cm, and can take a lateral position without twisting the body when it is inflated.

本発明の寝返り装置は上述したような構造を有するので、睡眠時の無呼吸を停止する効果が大きく、生理的欲求も十分満足するので、十分に深い睡眠をとることができる。また、エアークッションは膨縮自在なので、不使用時は装置を小さくできるため、携帯も可能である。   Since the rolling device of the present invention has the above-described structure, it has a great effect of stopping apnea during sleep and sufficiently satisfies physiological needs, so that it is possible to take a sufficiently deep sleep. In addition, since the air cushion can be expanded and contracted, the device can be made small when not in use, so that it can be carried.

以下に本発明を実施するための最良の形態を示す。
（実施例１）
図１及び図２は本発明の第１の実施例を示す図である。以下、図１及び図２に基づいて本発明の実施例を説明する。 The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below.
(Example 1)
1 and 2 are views showing a first embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

図１に記載のように、本発明の寝返り装置は4つの部品からなる。１は塩化ビニールなど適宣素材にてつくられた膨縮自在なエアークッション、２はエアークッションに接着された身体装着用具たるマジックテープ、３は音感知センサーおよび自動電源スイッチを有するエアーコンプレッサー、４はエアークッション１とエアーコンプレッサー３を連結し、エアーコンプレッサー３から供給される空気をエアークッション２に送り込む連結管である。エアークッション１は肩から腰部までを支えるように、空気を充填した状態で高さ７０ｃｍ、底面の直径が３０ｃｍの円柱状の形状を有している。   As shown in FIG. 1, the rolling device of the present invention is composed of four parts. 1 is an air cushion that can be freely expanded and contracted made of a suitable material such as vinyl chloride, 2 is a magic tape as a body wearing tool bonded to the air cushion, 3 is an air compressor having a sound detection sensor and an automatic power switch, 4 Is a connecting pipe that connects the air cushion 1 and the air compressor 3 and feeds air supplied from the air compressor 3 to the air cushion 2. The air cushion 1 has a cylindrical shape with a height of 70 cm and a bottom diameter of 30 cm in a state of being filled with air so as to support from the shoulder to the waist.

なお、エアークッション１が縮んだ際の体積は２０ｃｍ×２０ｃｍ×２０ｃｍ、重さ２ｋｇで旅先にも携帯可能である。   In addition, the volume when the air cushion 1 contracts is 20 cm × 20 cm × 20 cm, and the weight is 2 kg.

本発明の使用法は以下の通りである。まず、エアークッション１を就寝前に膨らませ、膨らませた状態のエアークッション１をマジックテープ２で背中に装着し、側臥位にて就寝する。   The usage of the present invention is as follows. First, the air cushion 1 is inflated before going to bed, and the inflated air cushion 1 is attached to the back with the velcro tape 2 and goes to bed in a recumbent position.

その後一定時間、例えば２０分経過すると空気が抜け、生理的欲求に応じて自然な体位がとれる。仰臥位になった場合、眠りが深くなるにつれて、いびきや睡眠時無呼吸が出現するようになる。音センサーがいびきを感知すると、自動電源スイッチによりエアーコンプレッサー３が作動し、連結管３を通って空気がエアークッション１に流入する。すると、背中に装着されたエアークッション1が肩から腰をゆっくり持ち上げ、途中で身体が捻じれることなく最終的に図２に示すように完全な側臥位になり、睡眠時無呼吸を防止する。その後一定時間、例えば２０分経過すると空気が抜けて、再び任意の体位がとれるようになる。   After a certain period of time, for example, 20 minutes, the air escapes and a natural posture is achieved according to physiological needs. In the supine position, snoring and sleep apnea appear as sleep becomes deeper. When the sound sensor detects snoring, the air compressor 3 is activated by the automatic power switch, and air flows into the air cushion 1 through the connecting pipe 3. Then, the air cushion 1 attached to the back slowly lifts the waist from the shoulder, and finally the body is not twisted in the middle, and finally becomes a complete lateral position as shown in FIG. 2, thereby preventing sleep apnea. Thereafter, after a certain period of time, for example, 20 minutes, the air escapes and an arbitrary posture can be obtained again.

あるいは、音センサーの代わりにタイマーをセットし、タイマーを用いて定期的に自動電源スイッチを入れ、エアーコンプレッサー3によってエアークッション１に空気を入れて、一定時間ごとに側臥位をとらせるようにしてもよい。   Alternatively, set a timer instead of the sound sensor, turn on the automatic power switch periodically using the timer, let air into the air cushion 1 with the air compressor 3, and take the lateral position at regular intervals. Also good.

上述したように、本発明の寝返り装置は、単に側臥位をとらせるだけでなく、音センサーでいびきを感知すると自動電源スイッチによりコンプレッサーでエアークッションを膨縮させる。これによって同一体位を続けることによる腕のしびれを防止し、快適な睡眠を確保できる。また、エアークッションの形状を円柱状にして、安定した側臥位をとれるようにしている。本発明の寝返り装置は、体位変換で予防可能な腰痛や寝たきりの人の介護現場での褥創予防にも応用可能であり、夜間の体位変換が自動で行える。その際の、エアークッションの形状は三角柱が妥当である。   As described above, the rolling device according to the present invention not only simply takes the lateral position, but when the sound sensor detects snoring, the air cushion is expanded and contracted by the compressor by the automatic power switch. This prevents numbness of the arm due to continuing the same body posture and ensures comfortable sleep. In addition, the air cushion has a cylindrical shape so that a stable lateral position can be obtained. The roll-over device of the present invention can be applied to back pain that can be prevented by changing the posture or to prevent soreness at the nursing care site of a bedridden person, and the posture can be changed automatically at night. In that case, a triangular prism is appropriate for the shape of the air cushion.
