Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a snore generated in the course of sleep by detecting a specified sound, and driving to undulate a floor plate part supported so as to be freely turnable by a bed frame, through a timer by a duration of a detecting output exceeding a level. CONSTITUTION:A bed frame is constituted by connecting a head board 1 and a foot board 2 by a side frame 3, floor plates 4, 5 are extended horizontally between the frames 3, 3, and a mattress 6 is placed on the floor plates 4, 5. The floor plate 4 is supported between the frames 3, 3 so that it can be undurated at the board 1 side. A microphone 16 is provided in the board 1, and a snore is detected and converted to an electric signal. Detecting voltage is rectified and held 19 through an amplifier 17 and a BPF18. Timers 22a-22e are operated by continuation of a sound output exceeding a set level 20 and the floor plate 4 is displaced. In this way, a snore generated in the course of sleep is reduced, and also eliminated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bed device that is capable of reducing or eliminating snoring by changing a person's sleeping position in response to specific sounds, particularly snoring during sleep.

Snoring during sleep can sometimes be a nuisance to others, depending on its size. Snoring occurs when the air passage from the nose to the pharynx (called the upper respiratory tract) becomes narrow or secretions such as nasal mucus accumulates, causing low noises and fricative sounds in breathing. It is said to occur when the airways become constricted in the agitated position.

Snoring can be reduced or eliminated by raising the head or turning the head to the side so that the upper airway is not constricted.

However, it is beyond the person's control to intentionally change their sleeping position during sleep.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to detect snoring that is unpleasant to others during sleep and forcibly change the sleeping position. To provide a bed device which automatically operates to displace a mat L/s and a floor plate supporting it, and raise or turn the head sideways to reduce or eliminate snoring.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described above with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a bed device according to the present invention. This bed device consists of a headboard (1) and a bed board (2).
) on the side frame (3), do 4 P2j and +'RI r2i on the ped frame, then set the left and right side frames (3).
, (U) between the 8g1 floorboard (4) and the second floorboard (
5) is hung horizontally, and the floorboards! A manotress (6) is placed on top of 4) and (5).

The first floorboard (4) is supported between the side frames (B) so as to be able to rise and fall on the side of the headboard (1). A mounting plate (7) is fixed to the first floor plate (4), and this mounting plate (7) is rotatably connected to the side frames (3) and (ro), and is attached to the lower surface of the floor plate (4). has a mounting plate (
7) and an operating shaft (8) are fixed thereto.

An operating arm (9) is fixed to approximately the center of the operating shaft (8), and a drive rod (10) (in the form of a vibrator) is attached to the tip of the operating arm (2) with a bolt (11a) and a nand (1l b ) times [
1 are freely connected.

The other end of the drive rod (10) is extended toward the foothold (2), and a base (12) with a female thread (not shown) formed on the inner peripheral surface is attached to the extended end. It is worn. A shaft body (16) having a thread (13a) formed on its outer peripheral surface is screwed into one end of the base (12). This shaft (13) is rotatably and swingably supported by a spherical bearing (14) and connected to be rotated by a motor <' (+5).

The motor (15) includes a snoring detection mechanism provided in the headboard (1), a level setting mechanism that outputs an output when snoring exceeds a preset level, and a timer that operates the drive mechanism depending on the duration of the output. It is rotated, stationary, and R-rotated via a mechanism and an output mechanism.

Next, according to Figures 2 and 6, snoring is detected and the floorboard (4
) will be explained.

The headboard (1) is equipped with a microphone (16) that detects snoring, converts the sound into electricity, and amplifies this small voltage with an amplifier (17). Only frequency bands are selected and passed.

1, the voltage is changed to DC voltage, and the voltage is maintained for a predetermined period of time (rectification/hold 19).

This voltage holding is to hold the voltage for a certain period of time (for example, 1 minute) because snoring is intermittent, and the level of snoring that is desired to be reduced or eliminated, that is, the action of causing the floor plate (4). The level at which (output voltage) is required
(level setting 20). This is because there are individual differences in the loudness of snoring that is perceived as unpleasant. Next, when there is an input of one voltage or more whose level is set, the output is set to 1 by Schmitt (21), and when the level is below, the output is set to 0.

When there is an output, the timer I (22a) measures the elapsed time of snoring, and outputs 1, which indicates that 6 minutes have elapsed, for example. This is to check for continuous snoring, and a predetermined time is set depending on individual differences.

Is tie-r-fJ (22b) a tie? -■(22a
) after the output, the rotation time of the meter (15), that is, the floor plate (4
] The required time to reach the desired standing inclination angle 1 is set, and within that time, for example, the output relay for standing is activated for 15 seconds (
23a) is turned on, the motor 3'' (15) is rotated, and after 15 seconds have elapsed, the floorboard (4) stops at the desired upright and inclination angle.

If excessive snoring continues without being reduced or eliminated even with the above standing and inclination angles, the timer 1”it (22
Set in c), for example, if it continues for 10 minutes, output 1,
In order to displace the floorboard (4) to the next standing inclination angle, set the timer (224J) for the time required to reach that angle, turn on the output relay (23a) within that time, and start the motor (
15) Continue rotating. When the snoring stops, the inverting circuit (24) turns on the output relay (26b) for the time set by the timer V' (220), for example, 20 seconds.
Then, the motor (15) is reversed to return the floorboard (4) to its original horizontal state.

The timer Vl (22f) has the role of setting the scheduled time from going to bed to waking up and automatically turning off the power (25). The floorboard that supports the manotress that is suspended horizontally, the front of the drive machine that raises and lowers the floorboard part that is rotatably supported by the bed frame behind the floorboard, the specific sound detection mechanism, and when the specific sound is above the level. This bed device consists of a level setting mechanism that outputs to This has the effect of reducing or eliminating snoring.

In the above embodiment, the timers are separate, but it goes without saying that a so-called program timer may also be used.
Furthermore, although the floorboard (4) is undulating in the longitudinal direction of the bed device, the present invention may also have a structure in which the floorboard (4) is undulating in the transverse direction (width direction) so that the head of the person is turned sideways, as shown in Fig. 4. This does not deviate from the gist.
