Description

Mattress having sound-to-vibration conversion apparatus

The present invention relates to a mattress incorporating an acoustic-vibration converter. More specifically, by inserting or mounting a haptic vibrator that converts the acoustic signal output from the sound device into vibration in the mattress or mattress support of the bed to induce the generation of α waves by the vibration to secrete sleep and growth hormone It is about a mattress that can promote.

In general, the brain wave refers to an electrical wave generated in the brain, and the amplitude and period of the waveform change as the emotion changes. Depending on the location, EEG measures the potential difference by using a galvanometer, a recording device, or a graphic display, which is also called brain conduction or Berger rhythm.

Types of brain waves include α waves, β waves, θ waves, and δ waves. Among them, it is necessary to pay attention to α waves. The α wave is the brain wave of the 7-14Hz band that is most beneficial to a person. It occurs when you feel calm in meditation, religious consciousness or rest in the suburbs. In this case, the concentration increases, and everything is motivated, and the state of mind and body becomes the best state. Modern people are applying the characteristics of α waves in many fields, such as hypnosis therapy, learning aids to increase concentration and memorization, feed back therapy, growth promoting devices, music therapy, etc. The practicality is recognized. α-wave can be induced by photo-stimulation, natural sound effects, meditation music, etc. Recently, α-wave is generated by artificially stimulating the auditory nerve.

On the other hand, alpha waves are known to promote growth by increasing the amount of human growth hormone. In the growth phase of adolescents, the brain often induces α waves, increasing the amount of growth hormone is said to promote growth. It is known that vibration of the ultrasonic wave band generated in the natural environment occurs in the α-wave induced sound. This vibration activates the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the growth plates located at the ends of each long bone, which in turn promote growth. Waves in the ultrasonic wave band that occur in nature generate sounds like super-regeneration noises that are not a single wave but a myriad of complex waves. One thing to note here is the case of grown adults. Humans secrete growth hormones throughout their lifetimes, and they play an essential role in growth in adolescence and, after they reach adulthood, become involved in metabolic activities such as protein synthesis and body fat breakdown. As aging progresses, the secretion of hormones decreases, which weakens the mind and body, such as loss of sexual desire, loss of work, and obesity.

Therefore, even in adults, growth hormone secretion is very important.Increasing the growth hormone secretion increases the growth of hair, nails, and toenails, increases libido, stiffness, concentration and quickness, and slows the progression of aging. Increasing motivation, increasing bone density, promoting body fat breakdown, and improving muscle strength have the effect of maintaining a person's physical and mental health in an optimal state. Therefore, growth hormone is essential in humans, and needless to say, the importance of alpha waves to promote the secretion of growth hormone.

Due to the importance of the α wave, various α wave induction apparatuses are being developed, which are still at the elementary level.

The present invention relates to a sleep aid that can generate an α wave beneficial to the human body in adolescence as well as in adulthood, as described above, using the mattress of the bed, the object of the present invention is to sound in the mattress or mattress support of the bed It is to provide a mattress that induces the generation of α waves by the vibration by inserting or mounting a haptic acoustic vibrator for converting the acoustic signal output from the device into vibration.

Overview of the devise

The present invention inserts an acoustic vibrator that vibrates in accordance with an acoustic signal output from an acoustic device to a mattress of a bed or is mounted on a mattress support part so that the actual sound is heard through the speaker and the vibration is actually felt through the mattress. It is characterized in that the three-dimensional and realism of the listening can be increased, thereby further promoting the secretion of the α wave. In particular, when used in conjunction with meditation music or sleep induction music, it is possible to further promote the secretion of the α wave, thereby easily entering a meditation state or promote sleep.

The applicant of the present invention has already filed three patent applications (application number 10-2001-0026923, 10-2001-0026924, 10-2002-0018190) for an acoustic-vibration converter that can convert an acoustic signal into vibration. In this state, the present invention can be referred to as an application of the previously applied acoustic vibrator. Therefore, it is necessary to outline the previously described acoustic vibrator for the purpose of the present invention.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of another previously applied acoustic-vibration converter (application number 10-2001-0026923). The operation principle of the acoustic-vibration converter according to the present invention is that the polarity and magnetic force of the electromagnets 13 and 13 'according to the amplitude and phase of the acoustic signal when the acoustic signals output from the amplifying circuit are applied to the coils 17 and 17'. As the intensity is changed, the attraction force and the repulsive force with the permanent magnets 11 and 11 'are acted on, causing the electromagnets 13 and 13' to reciprocate. At this time, the reciprocating distance of the electromagnets 13 and 13 'simulates the amplitude waveform of the acoustic signal.

Meanwhile, in the structure of FIG. 1, electromagnets should be manufactured so that the polarities of both electromagnets 13 and 13 'are opposite to each other. In the structure of FIG. 1, both electromagnets 13 and 13 'fixed to one frame 14 must move left and right symmetrically with respect to the center vertical line.

In FIG. 1, the electromagnets 13 and 13 'include inertial weights 23 and 23' to increase the inertia force of the reciprocating rotation of the electromagnets 13 and 13 '. Accordingly, the permanent magnets 11 and 11 'and the housing 12 have relatively small inertial forces due to the weight of the inertial weights 23 and 23', although the electromagnets 13 and 13 'are intended to reciprocate about the rotation axis. It will vibrate by reaction. Thus, the vibration of the acoustic-vibration converter according to the present invention becomes even greater.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 1, in order to maintain the neutral state of the electromagnets 13 and 13 ′, the electromagnets 13 and 13 ′ may be moved closer or farther away from the N pole or the S pole of the permanent magnets 11 and 11 ′. When the electromagnet (13, 13 ') is resisted in the direction opposite to the movement direction, and there is no voice signal, the electromagnet (13, 13') is the neutral point between the N pole and the S pole of the permanent magnet (11, 11 '). Electromagnetic neutral retaining elastic bodies 25a, b and 25a ', b' for further positioning are further included. The electromagnet neutral retaining elastic bodies 25a, b and 25a ', b' also serve as a kind of braking device for regulating the reciprocating up and down points of the electromagnets 13 and 13 '. In Fig. 1, compression springs are used as the electromagnet neutral retaining elastic bodies 25a, b and 25a ', b', which springs are provided on the sides of the frame 14 and the projections at both ends of the E-shaped iron core core. 13, 13 ') is in a neutral state. As the electromagnet neutral retaining elastic bodies 25a, b and 25a ', b', elastic rubber or the like may be used in addition to the spring. In addition, it is possible to use the spring and the anti-vibration rubber together to make braking smoother.

The braking pressure of the elastic body is set to be proportional to the attractive force of the permanent magnets 11 and 11 '. That is, when artificially reciprocating the electromagnets 13 and 13 ', the torque can be adjusted so that the attraction force of the permanent magnets 11 and 11' is not felt at all.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing the configuration of another previously applied acoustic-vibration converter (application number 10-2001-0026924). It consists of a magnet means 31 fixed to the housing 43 and an electromagnet 33 positioned opposite to the N pole or the S pole of the magnet means.

In this configuration, the electromagnet 33 has a magnet means (according to the interaction between the polarity formed in the electromagnet 33 by the voice signal applied to the coil 35 and the polarity of the magnet means 31 opposite thereto). 31) or a reciprocating motion away from the magnet means (31).

In Fig. 2, the magnet means 31 is fixed to the housing 43. As the magnet means 31, a permanent magnet can be used. However, electromagnets other than permanent magnets may be used.

In Fig. 2, the electromagnet is manufactured by winding the coil 35 around the central protrusion 33a of the E-shaped iron core core having three protrusions 33a, b, and c in one direction. The audio signal is applied to the coil 35 from an amplifier circuit such as an amplifier. The operation principle of the acoustic-vibration converter is that when the acoustic signal output from the amplifying circuit (amplifier) is applied to the coil 35, the polarity and magnetic force of the electromagnet 33 are changed according to the amplitude and phase of the acoustic signal and thus the permanent magnet. The attraction force and the repulsive force act between 31 and the electromagnet 33 reciprocates. At this time, the movement of the electromagnet 33, the reciprocating distance is changed according to the amplitude of the sound signal.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2, the electromagnet 33 includes an inertial weight 37 to further double the inertial force of the reciprocating rotation of the electromagnet 33. Therefore, the electromagnet 37 tries to reciprocate while facing the permanent magnet 31, but the permanent magnet 31 and the housing 43 having a relatively small inertial force due to the weight of the inertia weight 37 vibrate by reaction. Will be.

2, when the electromagnet 33 approaches the permanent magnet 31 and the electromagnet 33 moves away from the permanent magnet 31, it provides resistance in the direction opposite to the movement direction of the electromagnet 33. Elastic bodies 39a and b are further included. And, even if the electromagnet 33 is close to the permanent magnet 31, the interval maintaining means 41 is further included between the electromagnet 33 and the permanent magnet 31 so as to maintain a constant distance from the permanent magnet 31. have. A buffer pad can be used as the gap holding means 41, and the electromagnet 33 and the permanent magnet 31 collide with the buffer pad therebetween.

Figure 3 is an internal perspective view of a pre- filed acoustic-vibration converter (application number 10-2002-0018190). The electromagnet 55 is fixed to the central portion of the housing 51 so as to be rotatable about the central axis 59. Since the acoustic signal output from the amplifying circuit is applied to the coil 63 wound on the electromagnet 55, the number of windings should be adjusted and wound to match the amplifying circuit. The method of fixing the electromagnet 55 to the housing 51 is not limited to the method of fixing to the central axis 59 as in this embodiment. What is necessary is just to fix the electromagnet 55 so that movement relative to the housing 51 may be carried out.

On both sides of the housing 51 opposite to both ends of the electromagnet 55, magnet means in which the N pole 53 'and the S pole 53 are formed in one plane is fixed, respectively. In this embodiment, the S pole 53 has a structure located on the upper surface of the N pole 53 '. Magnetic means may use electromagnets as well as permanent magnets.

Inertial weights 57 are attached to each side of both ends of the electromagnet 55. The inertial weight 57 increases the inertial force due to the movement of the electromagnet 55 to allow the relatively light housing 51 to vibrate.

When the acoustic signal output from the amplification circuit is applied to the coil 63, the polarity and magnetic strength of the electromagnet 55 is changed in accordance with the amplitude and phase of the acoustic signal, attracting and repulsive force with the permanent magnets (53, 53 ') The electromagnet 55 is reciprocated, and the direction of the reciprocating motion is the same as that of the arrow in FIG. That is, when the magnetic force of the N pole is generated in one direction of the electromagnet 55 in response to the application of the acoustic signal, the S pole 53 and the attraction force of the permanent magnet 53 are generated and rises upward, and the S pole is opposite to the electromagnet 55. This occurs and conversely goes down. When the direction of the sound signal is reversed, the electromagnet 55 is moved upside down to generate a reciprocating motion. At this time, the reciprocating distance of the electromagnet 57 simulates the amplitude waveform of the acoustic signal.

In addition, as described above, the inertial weight 57 is attached to both ends of the electromagnet 55 to increase the inertia force of the reciprocating motion of the electromagnet 55. Therefore, when the electromagnet 55 tries to reciprocate about the rotation axis 59, the permanent magnets 53 and 53 'and the housing 51 having relatively small inertial forces vibrate because of the weight of the inertial weight 57. . Thus, the vibration of the acoustic-vibration converter according to the present invention becomes even greater.

Example

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of a mattress built-in sound-vibration converter according to the present invention will be described in detail. 4 is an internal configuration diagram of this embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a side cross-sectional view.

In the present embodiment, when the person of the main body 73 portion of the bed mattress is lying, the acoustic vibrator 71 is inserted into a portion where the chest, thighs and calf are in contact. The wire 79 for transmitting an acoustic signal to the acoustic vibrator 71 is arranged in a zigzag form so as not to be disconnected even in the refraction or impact of the bed.

An acoustic signal is transmitted from the acoustic device (not shown) to the acoustic vibrator 71 via the electric wire 79, and the acoustic vibrator 71 vibrates in accordance with this signal. The acoustic vibrator 71 is an invention already filed by the applicant of the present invention is used as described above.

Both sides of the mattress are provided with a sachet 77 that can accommodate the air freshener, it is possible to easily change the air freshener by an opening and closing device such as a zipper. The fragrance entering the sachet 77 does not necessarily need to be a volatile material because the fragrance molecules move by vibrating the mattress.

Referring to the operation of the present embodiment is as follows. The acoustic signal output from the sound equipment along the wire 79 vibrates the acoustic vibrator 71, and the vibration is transmitted to the human body via the mattress body 73.

The vibration transmitted to the human body recognizes sound through the nerves and nerves through the bones and skin of the human head and stimulates the pituitary gland, the scalp and the growth plate. Although the stimulus listens to the sound through the auditory nerve, the α wave is easily induced and the growth hormone secretion is activated by applying the same to the vibration of the natural ultrasound band to the pituitary gland and thyroid gland secreting growth hormone.

The output of the product is designed with sufficient output, but α-wave induction can be achieved with the minimum sound pressure. However, when using for the purpose of hair growth, it is effective to use music with a lot of sound of low range (cello, bass guitar, drum, thunder, waterfall, samulnori) inserted at a suitable height.

Figure 6 shows another embodiment according to the present invention, by attaching an acoustic vibrator 71 to the mattress support portion of the bed to transfer the vibration generated by the acoustic signal to the human body through the mattress (73).

According to the present invention, an acoustic vibrator vibrating according to an acoustic signal output from an acoustic device is inserted into a mattress or attached to a mattress support portion to induce α waves during sleep by vibration by an acoustic signal, thereby promoting sleep, and promoting growth hormone. It promotes secretion and also has the effect of promoting hair growth by scalp massage.

Figure 7 is a graph showing the results of experiments in the 8-year-old girl in the growth phase to test the performance of the mattress according to the present invention. The test period was to run for 1 hour before bedtime and 30 minutes after morning waking, avoiding the vacation period where growth is much.

As can be seen in the graph of Figure 7, the growth rate of the subject shows a growth rate of about 50% or more than usual when using the mattress according to the present invention. In addition, the hair growth phenomenon and the rapid growth of nails appeared in the place where the user of 30 to 40 adults did not have hair.
