  Each embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

  1 is a three-dimensional external view of the snoring pillow of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the snoring pillow of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of a part of FIG. FIG.

  The snoring pillow A includes a base 10, a movable seat 20, a movement control unit 100, a motor rotation control module 60, a snoring sound detector 70, an electric control unit 80, and an upper pad 90. X1-X2 is the longitudinal direction of the snoring pillow A, and Y1-Y2 is the short direction of the snoring pillow A.

  The pedestal 10 is a plate body whose length, width, and thickness can be preset.

  The movable seat 20 is on the pedestal 10 and can be moved, and is provided so as to be able to move such as left and right shaking, parallel movement, and vertical undulation.

  The movement control unit 100 includes a motor 30 (servo motor), a transmission set 40, and a transmission unit 50, and controls the movement state of the movable seat 20. The transmission unit 50 is provided between the output shaft 41 of the speed change set 40 and the movable seat 20, and interlocks with a circular block 52 having an eccentric hole 51, and a column body 53 implanted in the movable seat 20. It consists of a plate 54. The eccentric hole 51 in the circular block 52 is fitted and fixed to the output shaft 41 of the transmission set 40. The interlocking plate 54 is a long plate, and has a first connection hole 541 for fitting the circular block 52 in a rotatable manner on one side thereof, and a rotation with the column body 53 of the movable seat 20 on the other side. There is a second connection hole 542 for a possible fit. As a result, when the output shaft 41 of the transmission set 40 rotates, the circular block 52 performs a yaw-type rotational movement, whereby the interlocking plate 54 and the movable seat 20 follow a fixed path in the X1-X2 direction. Move back and forth.

  The motor rotation control module 60 controls the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 31 when the motor 30 is operated.

  The snoring sound detector 70 is provided to detect a snoring sound emitted by the user.

  The electric control unit 80 issues a command to operate the movement control unit 100 according to the detection signal of the snoring sound detector 70.

  The upper pad 90 is provided on the upper part of the movable seat 20. The upper pad 90 is made of a flexible material or a flexible material (sponge or other foamed material), and the outside of the upper pad 90 is covered with a cloth cover 91. An insertion hole 92 (FIG. 2) for inserting the snoring sound detector 70 is provided at the bottom of the upper pad 90, so that the snoring sound detector 70 is set at an appropriate position.

  The motor rotation control module 60 controls the set value of the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 31 by one operation of the motor 30, and the movable seat 20 can have different positions before and after the movement. One of its functions. More specifically, at present, the servo motor technology allows a controller to accurately control a fixed position. When the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 31 of the motor 30 of the present invention is 100, the movable seat 20 moves in a preset reciprocating path after the transmission of the transmission set 40 (that is, the origin (position before movement)). Therefore, the motor rotation control module 60 sets the rotation shaft 31 to be rotated 50 (that is, 1/2 of 100) each time the motor 30 is operated. The operation state of the movement control unit 100 obtained from this setting is as shown in FIG. That is, the position of the movable seat 20 before the movement is at the left end of the maximum movement path (display position L1), and the position after the movement of the movable seat 20 is the right end of the maximum movement path (display of L2). Position), resulting in a position difference W. The difference in position occurs each time the movable seat 20 is operated. That is, the right position and the left position are interchanged. Of course, depending on the setting of the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 31 of the motor 30 at one time, there are differences in other positions. For example, the difference between the positions of the movable seat 20 before and after the movement is the distance between the position of the left or right end of the maximum movement path and the position between the left and right ends. As shown in FIG. 5 (A), the above-mentioned structural design makes the user's head face up before the snoring pillow A is moved, as shown in FIG. ), When the snoring pillow A moves, the home position is changed, the posture of the user's head is tilted to one side, and the effect of snoring is effective.

  The second function of the motor rotation control module 60 is to control the number of reciprocating movements of the movable seat by controlling the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 31 each time the motor 30 is operated. The function is achieved by adding an adjustment module. The number of reciprocating movements of the movable seat 20 is adjusted by the adjustment module 61. In a specific implementation, the number of reciprocating movements of the movable seat 20 is adjusted by changing the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 31 when the motor 30 is operated once.

  The adjustment module 61 can be a manual adjustment type. In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the adjustment module 61 is provided in the controller 22 that protrudes outside the movable seat 20, and other function buttons that the snoring pillow A already have are arranged. .

FIG. 7 shows the installation of a plurality of lamps, and each lamp shows a different number of reciprocating movements.

  FIG. 8 is an embodiment in which the adjustment module 61C of this embodiment, its adjustment unit 611C, and the display unit 612C are provided on one side of the snoring pillow A.

  FIG. 9 shows an automatic adjustment type adjustment module 61D. The adjustment module 61D and the electric control unit 50 are electrically connected. Further, the operation number detection module 81, the electric control unit 80, and the adjustment module 60D are electrically connected. The operation number detection module 81 records the number of operation times that the snoring sound detector 70 (FIG. 2) of the snoring pillow A detects the snoring sound. The adjustment module 61D presets a fixed period (for example, 1 hour is set as one period), and statistics the frequency of snoring using the fixed period as a unit, and based on the statistics, the rotating shaft 31 on which the motor 30 rotates in one operation. Automatically adjust the number of times.

  For example, the electric control unit 80 presets the parameters for one hour, and sets the number of snoring detections to five within the one hour period, so that the operation number detection module 81 is set to one hour. When the number of snore sounds detected in the cycle exceeds five, the adjustment module 61D automatically determines the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 31 that is rotated by one operation of the motor 30 during the next operation process. Adjust to increase. On the other hand, when the number of times that the operation number detection module 81 detects the snoring sound within a period of 1 hour is less than 5, the adjustment module 61D rotates the motor 30 in one operation during the next operation process. Adjustment is made so that the number of rotating shafts 31 is automatically reduced. As a result, the number of movements of the snoring pillow A that reciprocates at once is automatically adjusted and changed according to the frequency of snoring by the user, thereby achieving the optimum snoring prevention effect.

  FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of the operation of the snoring pillow of this embodiment. When the snoring pillow is turned on (S1), whether or not the snoring pillow is pushed by the snoring sound (this part is an existing technology) (S2) and whether it is a snoring sound (S3) Then, the adjustment module 61D statistics the frequency of snoring in units of preset fixed periods, and automatically adjusts the number of operations of the motor rotation shaft based on the statistics (S4, S5).
