1 is a view showing the entire configuration of an apparatus for treating snoring and sleep apnea according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The snoring and sleep apnea treatment apparatus 100 may include an upper tooth receiving portion 10, a lower neck receiving portion 20, a wing portion 30 and a moving portion 40, and may include other additional components for operation Of course.

The upper tooth receiving portion 10 is formed to fit the upper teeth arrangement of the patient and accommodates the upper teeth, and the lower tooth receiving portion 20 is formed to fit the lower jaw arrangement of the patient and accommodates the lower jaw. Specifically, the upper and lower teeth accommodating portions 10 and 20 may be formed to conform to the patient's teeth arrangement by using a hard or semi-rigid resin or the like, and a transparent or colored or other translucent, Or may be formed in various colors. It should be understood that not only the resin but also a variety of materials that can be used to lay the bone according to the patient's tooth arrangement can be used. The upper and lower rattle receiving units 10 and 20 serve as the snout and the body of the sleep apnea apparatus 100 and are connected to the upper and lower receiving units 10 and 20 through predetermined connecting means The lower ratchet receiving portion 20 may be connected to each other. However, the upper and lower ratchet receiving portions 10 and 20 may be separately worn without forming the connecting means.

The wing portion 30 is formed to protrude toward the upper tooth receiving portion 10 from both ends of the inner surface of the lower tooth receiving portion 20. In this case, the wing portion 30 may be formed using the same material as or different from the underleath storage portion 20, or may be integrally formed with the underleath storage portion 20, or separately formed and bonded. However, it is preferable to integrally form the same with the same material and color as the undergarment receiving portion 20 in consideration of the aesthetic factors of the appearance. On the other hand, the wing portion 30 is formed protruding from both ends of the inner surface of the inferior tooth receiving portion 20, but is preferably formed in the vicinity of the molar of the patient's mandible. For example, if the lower latch receiving portion 20 shown in FIG. 1 is worn in the mouth, the two wings 30 will be positioned near the molar of the patient's mandible. This is because the wing portion 30 serves to move the lower tooth receiving portion 20 by the moving portion 40 to be described later, so that it is formed in the vicinity of the molar located relatively rearward in the patient mandible, Because it is easy to move. However, in the case where there is an individual inconvenience such as inconvenience in wearing the snoring and sleep apnea treatment apparatus 100 in the mouth of the patient, the wing portion 30 may be moved to another position, It can be formed on the outer surface as much as possible. In addition, the triangular wing 30 shown in FIG. 1 is only one embodiment of the wing 30, and it may be formed in various shapes as well as a triangle. It is needless to say that the movement of the moving unit 40 It is necessary to take into consideration the shape of the moving part 40. [0034] FIG. For example, in FIG. 1, the front end of the moving part 40 is formed as an oblique surface, and a portion (rear surface) contacting the moving part 40 is formed to be equally oblique so that the force due to the movement of the moving part 40 You will be able to get enough. The wings 30 may be formed to have different heights. However, the wings 30 may be formed to have a height sufficient to receive a force due to the movement of the moving unit 40. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable that the wing portion 30 has a height up to the uppermost portion (the uppermost portion) of the moving portion 40. The wing part 30 receives the force of the movement of the moving part 40 and moves the lower knee holding part 20.

The moving portion 40 is formed at a predetermined distance from both ends of the inner surface of the upper tooth receiving portion 10 and has one end abutted against the rear surface of the wing portion 30. [ Referring to FIG. 2, the specific structure of the moving part 40 can be confirmed. Specifically, the actuator 50 includes a first moving part 41 including one end of the actuator 50 And a second moving part 42 including the other end of the actuator 50. [ Hereinafter, the actuator 50 will be described.

3, the first body 51 and the second body 52 are connected to each other through an intermediate screw portion 53. [ The distance between the first body part 51 and the second body part 52 may be reduced or increased as the screw part 53 rotates to the left or right side when the actuator 50 is driven. The actuator 50 may include a plurality of the screw portions 53 and may include at least one screw portion 53 and at least one connecting portion 55 for firmly connecting the first body portion 51 and the second body portion 52, (54). Meanwhile, when the actuator 50 is driven manually or automatically, the patient can rotate the screw portion 53 to the left or right using a tool such as a nipper or the like, A configuration such as an antenna (not shown) for receiving a remote control command may be formed in the first body part 51 or the second body part 52 to rotate the screw part 53 to the left or right. In this case, the antenna may be a chip antenna or an LDS (Laser Direct Structure) antenna which can be formed on the surface of the first body part 51 or the second body part 52.

4 is a view showing a state in which the actuator 50 is included in the first moving part 41 and the second moving part 42. FIG. Here, the first moving part 41 includes the first body part 51 of the actuator 50, and the second moving part 42 includes the second body part 52. As described above, the actuator 50 can be driven manually or automatically. The first moving part 41 moves forward or backward according to the driving of the actuator 50, and the first moving part 41 A force is exerted on the wing portions 30 that are brought into contact with each other as a result of the movement, so that the inferior row receiving portion 20 finally moves forward or backward. For example, when the screw portion 53 of the actuator 50 rotates left or right to move the first moving portion 41 forward, a force is applied to the wing portion 30, and the wing portion 30 The lower tooth receiving portion 20 integrally formed or connected thereto is also moved forward. The second moving part 42 may move in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the first moving part 41 while including the second body part 52. In this case, It is preferable that the second moving part 42 is fixed so as not to move irrespective of the rotation of the screw part 53 since it is difficult to precisely adjust the moving distance. Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the rear ratchet receiving portion 20 moves forward or backward according to the driving of the actuator 50.

The snoring and sleep apnea treatment apparatus 100 including the above-described underrive receiving unit 20, upper teeth receiving unit 10, wing unit 30 and moving unit 40 is worn on the patient's mouth, If the sleep apnea state is developed, the actuator 50 can be automatically or manually driven to move the undergarment receiving portion 20 forward, thereby moving the patient's mandible forward as well, Snoring and sleep apnea can be treated. Meanwhile, since it is not possible for the patient to manually drive the actuator 50 during sleep, it is preferable to automatically drive the actuator 50 through the above-described antenna (not shown), so that the patient can comfortably sleep for a long time, (100) can be worn. This is because the actuator 50 is not driven at the time of sleep, and the patient's mandible does not move forward. In this case, the wireless charging coil 60 may be provided in the upper tooth receiving portion 10 or the lower tooth receiving portion 20 to secure the driving power of the actuator 50 that is automatically driven. Specifically, the wireless charging coil 60 can be installed inside the upper teeth receiving portion 10 as shown in FIG. If you are exposed to the outside, you may feel uncomfortable when you wear it in your mouth.

On the other hand, the configuration and control sequence for transmitting the remote control command to actuate the actuator 50 are outside the scope of the present invention, and thus will be described in other specification of the control system. In an embodiment of the present invention The snoring and sleep apnea treatment apparatus 100 according to the present invention may be implemented as another embodiment in which the configuration of the wing portion 30 and the moving portion 40 are different from each other. This will be described below.

7 is a view showing the entire configuration of an apparatus for treating snoring and sleep apnea according to another embodiment of the present invention.

It is to be understood that this may also include the upper teeth receiving portion 10, the undergarment receiving portion 20, the wing portion 30 and the moving portion 40, and may further include other additional structures for operation . Since the upper and lower tooth receiving portions 10 and 20 are the same as those described above, the description will be omitted for the sake of avoiding redundant description, and only the wing portion 30 and the moving portion 40, would.

The wing portion 30 is formed to protrude toward the upper tooth receiving portion 10 from both ends of the inner surface of the lower tooth receiving portion 20 as described above. The arrangement of the wing portion 30 and the moving portion 40 is similar to that of the snout shown in FIG. 1 and the water surface 40 shown in FIG. 1. However, since the moving portion 40 is formed at both ends of the inner surface of the upper tooth receiving portion 10 as described above, And is different from the apnea treatment apparatus 100. 1 shows a state in which the " one end "of the moving part 40 comes into contact with the" rear side "of the wing part 30, Quot; inner side ". Due to this difference, the moving part 40 of FIG. 7 does not need to move as shown in FIG. 1, but exerts a force on the wing part 30 through other additional configurations. This additional configuration is the detachment portion 31 and the spacer 43, and is specifically shown in Fig.

Referring to FIG. 8, a detachable portion 31 formed in the wing portion 30 and a spacer 43 formed in addition to the moving portion 40 can be identified.

The detachable portion 31 is formed to have a predetermined thickness along a part of the outer circumferential surface of the wing portion 30 and serves to adjust the thickness of the entire wing portion 30. For example, if the wing portion 30 has a triangular shape as shown in Fig. 8, the detachable portion 31 can be formed in a shape corresponding to one side of a triangle. In addition, by attaching a shape such as a hook or the like to both ends of the detachable part 31, the detachable part 31 can be prevented from being easily detached from the wing part 30. However, since the entire thickness of the wing portion 30 is adjusted according to the detachable portion 31 having a different thickness, the detachable portion 31 is basically detachable from the outer circumferential surface of the wing portion 30 Do. For example, when the hooks that extend over the wing portions 30 are lifted by applying force, they can be detached from the wing portions 30.

The moving part 40 can insert the spacer 43 including the first bent part 44 bent outward at a predetermined angle into one end. In this case, the spacer 43 plays the same role as the actuator 50. The first bent portion 44 and the detachable portion 31 are brought into contact with each other so that the first bent portion 44 forcibly pushes the detachable portion 31, The receiving portion 20 can be moved forward. Accordingly, as the thickness of the detachable portion 31 and the first bent portion 44 becomes smaller, the lower latitudinal holding portion 20 will move slightly forward, and the greater the thickness, the more the first bent portion 44 having different thicknesses It is necessary to use the spacer 43 which includes the spacer 43. Referring to FIG. 9, it can be seen that the inferior ridge receiving portion 20 moves forward according to the thickness of the detachable portion 31 and the first bent portion 44. 1, the one side of the moving part 40 must be in contact with the inner side surface of the blade 30, as shown in FIG. 1, since the detachable part 31 abuts against the first bent part 44 and pushes forward. will be.

In the snoring and sleep apnea treatment apparatus 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention described above, the patient does not need to prepare a new device for the deteriorated or improved condition, And the first bent portion 44 may be inserted into the wing portion 30 and the moving portion 40. The force is applied to the wing portion 30 through the attaching / detaching portion 31 so that the inferior ridge receiving portion 20 is moved forward to secure the patient's airway as described above.

The embodiments of the present invention described above are disclosed for the purpose of illustration, and the present invention is not limited thereto. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
