572754 玫，發明說明 (發明說明應敘明：發明所屬之技術領域、先前技術、內容、實施方式及圖式簡單說明） 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係涉及一種抑制打鼾的方法，更具體而言，乃指一種於打鼾患 者口中含入一特定構造設計之睡眠滅音器，而能令其於睡眠中維持呼吸道 的暢通，而有效地降低打鼾現象者。 【先前技術】 按，打鼾是一種慢性缺氧的症候狀態，嚴重甚至會造成睡眠中暫停呼 吸導致死亡，即所謂猝死症。若打鼾不會對身體造成任何傷害倒還無所謂，馨 但事實上醫界裡乃至於WHO都承認打鼾會讓人在不知不覺中造成身體危 害。換言之，就是不正常呼吸。人們把氧氣吸收到體內，作爲能量來燃燒， 以供養人體所需之動力與活力。而打鼾正是處於慢性的缺氧狀態，若情況 嚴重者，會產生無呼吸症候群的狀態，一般俗稱「暫停呼吸」，假若剛好是 高齢者，則可能導致死亡（即猝死症），乃最常見的問題。 打鼾是危險信號的開始，除了給身邊親密愛人帶來困擾之外，最重要 的是會引起倂發症。因大多數打鼾的人大都會有不正常的呼吸，所謂不正 # 常呼吸代表無法充份供應身體所需之氧氣，當缺氧的身體在運作時，試想 會如何？第一衝擊最大的莫過於腦部，腦部若長時間持續缺氧，所有機能 可能會全面罷工，並因缺乏氧氣而有危及生命的可能。第二衝擊爲高血壓 的主因，因打鼾引發高血壓症狀，而須靠藥物長期控制，由於高血壓的主 因在於慢性缺氧所致’故血壓高即最明顯易知；蓋人體血壓是血液在動脈 的血管內所加上的壓力，亦即是血液若強力擠壓血管，產生氧氣不定狀態 〇續次頁（發明說明頁不敷使用時，請註記並使用續頁） 572754 發明說明續頁 下的血液要把少量的血液輸送到各細胞’血液就必須使用更大的力量流 動，高血壓因此自然形成。第三是自律神經失調症、慢性疲勞症候群等。 以上均是打鼾所引起之不良症狀。另比較容易打鼾的人爲具有糖尿病、高 血壓、心臟病患者，以及體胖、粗頸、下巴短小者之體型者。 一般人認爲打鼾是由鼻部所引起的，如第一圖所示，人體鼻部（1) 構造大體上由外至內包括有鼻腔（1 〇 )、鼻骨（1 1 )、額賣（1 2 ) 、上鼻甲骨（13)、中鼻甲骨（14)、下鼻甲骨（15)及蝶骨賣（ 16)等，而口部（2)構造則包含軟顎（2 0)、舌頭（21)、咽頭 壁（2 2 )、舌顎弓（2 3)、懸雍垂（2 4)、聲帶（2 5)、氣管（ 2 6)及食道（2 7)等，其實正確的是由喉嚨深處之懸雍垂（2 4)( 即軟顎末端）及舌顎宮（2 3)(即咽喉壁表面）的周邊及內部所引起爲 主要因素。如扁桃腺、舌頭下降、或呼吸道黏膜下垂等情形促使呼吸道變 窄或阻塞時，空氣通道自然就無法暢通；當呼吸時空氣會從鼻子或喉嚨深 處往前推擠，當黏膜和呼吸道產生摩擦即造成聲音，因空氣的摩擦或其產 生之力量，不但會使呼吸道的黏膜或週邊組織產生震動，亦會震動其分泌 之物質，所以睡眠時才會發出聲音，即所謂的打鼾。而打鼾就是此種呼吸 道黏膜組織摩擦下所產生的。由於打鼾導致夜晚睡眠品質變，白天自然容 易打嗑睡，注意力不集中，輕者影響工作表現，重者容易發生意外，而打 鼾者發生交通意外事故的比率亦比一般人高出許多。 而目前一般消除惱人打鼾的方法不外乎如下所述：572754 Rose, description of the invention (the description of the invention should state: the technical field to which the invention belongs, the prior art, the content, the embodiments, and the drawings) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a method for suppressing snoring, and more specifically In terms of snoring, it refers to a type of sleep muffler that contains a specific structural design in the mouth of a snoring patient, which can keep the airway open during sleep and effectively reduce the snoring phenomenon. [Previous technology] According to the press, snoring is a chronic hypoxia symptom, which can even cause death during sleep pauses, which is called sudden death. It doesn't matter if snoring does not cause any harm to the body, but in fact the medical profession and even WHO acknowledge that snoring can cause people to unknowingly cause physical harm. In other words, it is abnormal breathing. People absorb oxygen into the body and burn it as energy to support the vitality and vitality needed by the human body. Snoring is in a chronic hypoxic state. If the condition is severe, it will produce an apnea syndrome. It is commonly known as "pausing breath". If it happens to be a high snoring person, it may cause death (that is, sudden death), which is the most common The problem. Snoring is the beginning of a red flag. In addition to causing distress to your close loved ones, the most important thing is to cause snoring. Because most snoring people will have abnormal breathing, the so-called abnormal # regular breathing means that they can not supply enough oxygen for the body. When the hypoxic body is operating, what will happen? The biggest impact is the brain. If the brain continues to be hypoxic for a long time, all functions may be fully strike, and the lack of oxygen may be life-threatening. The second shock is the main cause of high blood pressure, which is caused by snoring, and requires long-term drug control. The main cause of high blood pressure is chronic hypoxia, so high blood pressure is the most obvious; covering human blood pressure is the The pressure applied to the arteries' blood vessels, that is, if the blood strongly squeezes the blood vessels, an indefinite state of oxygen is generated. Continued page (When the description page of the invention is insufficient, please note and use the continued page) 572754 Below the description of the invention To deliver a small amount of blood to each cell, blood must use more force to flow, and high blood pressure naturally develops. The third is autonomic nervous disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome and so on. The above are all bad symptoms caused by snoring. Other people who are more likely to snore are those with diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, as well as those with a fat body, thick neck, and short chin. Most people think that snoring is caused by the nose. As shown in the first figure, the structure of the human nose (1) generally includes the nasal cavity (10), the nasal bone (1 1), and the forehead (1). 2), upper turbinate bone (13), middle turbinate bone (14), lower turbinate bone (15), and sphenoid bone (16), etc., while the mouth (2) structure includes a soft jaw (2 0), tongue ( 21), pharyngeal wall (2 2), tongue and jaw arch (2 3), uvula (2 4), vocal cords (2 5), trachea (2 6) and esophagus (2 7), etc. The main factors are caused by the uvula (24) (that is, the end of the soft palate) and the tongue and jaw palace (23) (that is, the surface of the throat wall) deep in the throat. For example, when the tonsils, tongue fall, or drooping mucous membranes of the respiratory tract narrow or obstruct the respiratory tract, the air passage naturally cannot be cleared; when breathing, the air will push forward from the depth of the nose or throat, and when the mucous membranes and the respiratory tract cause friction That is to say, due to the friction of the air or its generated force, not only the mucous membrane or surrounding tissues of the respiratory tract will be vibrated, but also the secreted substances, so the sound will be emitted during sleep, the so-called snoring. Snoring is caused by the friction of the respiratory mucosa. Due to snoring, the quality of sleep at night changes. Naturally, it is easy to doze during the day, the lack of concentration, the lighter ones will affect work performance, the heavy ones are more prone to accidents, and the snoring people have a much higher rate of traffic accidents than ordinary people. At present, the general method to eliminate annoying snoring is nothing more than the following:

Surgery, electric knife, laser: also known as "Uvulopalatous Soft Jaw and Throat Surgery", medically called UP Continued (If the description page of the invention is insufficient, please note and use the continuation page) 572754 --- Description of the invention Continued PP, that is, the soft palate (lunar jaw) and uvula of the throat are removed by surgery. This kind of treatment causes severe pain and discomfort, and there is also a great chance of bleeding, dehydration, and weight loss. Particularly troublesome for patients is that the mouth and nose are connected after removal, the nostrils will bubble when drinking Cola, and the water in the mouth will also be changed. Nostril outflow, patients need to endure great pain, and even after the operation is difficult to swallow saliva and the throat always feel wet and water answer, in addition to fear of surgery, the degree of improvement can not reach 100%, the patient fully reinstated It takes two weeks. 2. Radio wave surgery: Although the amount of bleeding is smaller than the operation, local anesthesia is also required for the pain during the operation. Normal activities can be resumed within a few days after treatment. During the three to eight weeks, the volume of the tonsils is reduced, which increases and decreases the airway. Obstructed, but still unable to cure, there is still the possibility of recurrence. III. Electronic Assistance ·· Small electric shock or shaking with slight tingling sensation during sleep to stimulate or shake the patient, changing the sleeping position, but affecting the quality of sleep, and some users can't fall asleep after waking up halfway , Or because of personal constitution can not withstand long-term electric shock. 4. Braces (orthodontics): Similar to dental molds, they need to be installed on the gums according to the shape of the gums of the individual, which can be time-consuming and expensive, and cause great discomfort to the patient, such as tooth aches, jaw joints, facial muscle problems, etc. . Inability to securely engage may cause foreign objects to enter the throat, which may cause unsanitary and dangerous conditions. Looking at the improvement methods derived from the above-mentioned relevant knowledge for Daxuan, it seems that there is still not perfection; and according to the human throat structure, it can be known that when a person is not in a sleep state, the respiratory tract will expand and air will flow easily. So it will not sound. If you can keep the airway open during sleep, it will be less likely to cause snoring. In view of this, the inventor of this case feels that the snoring patients must be tolerated in order to improve their snoring phenomenon. [Continued on the next page (please note and use the continuation page if the description page of the invention is insufficient, 572754) Description of the invention The fear of swallowing saliva after surgery is difficult or even unable to eat, and has to endure the pain of nasal flow in the mouth, and the wet throat answer after the nose and mouth communication after surgery. It is based on personal experience, and then a kind of need not rely on surgery, injections, Take the medicine, and there is no need to worry about the new "sleep muffler" of the side effects of the use of electronic assistants, in order to completely improve the snoring situation mentioned above, and this design will have a revolutionary breakthrough, so that all the snoring troubles will eventually No longer suffer from this, nor will it make the people around the pillow complain and benefit the public. [Content] The reason is that the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a sleep muffler, which is simple and convenient to use. It only needs to be put in the mouth before sleep, and it can be used like a baby's pacifier to make the user sleep peacefully. No more beeping noises that disturb the person around the pillow. The method used to achieve this is to include a muffler in the patient's mouth, and in terms of technical means, the muffler is made of a soft elastic material such as silicon rubber, which is molded and formed into a hollow tubular shape, and is provided at one end. There is a prominent safety device to prevent the user from swallowing a pull ring by mistake, and it is designed to be included in the mouth when the patient goes to bed. When the patient falls asleep, the "sleep muffler" of the present invention will inadvertently support the human mouth Open, driving the broad neck muscles, mandibular hyoid muscles, chewing muscles, biceps / anterior muscles, digastrics / rear muscles, etc. to produce natural tension, because the tongue muscles are mainly connected to the front and inner side of the mandible (tongue and jaw arch, throat Muscle, pharyngeal wall), the mandible muscles will be tightened while sleeping, and the respiratory mucosa will rise and tighten, and the tongue will naturally move forward, so the airway will be unobstructed, and the snoring will be silenced. The technical advantages of the present invention based on the above-mentioned objects and the functional advantages of the articles will be described based on the preferred embodiments shown below. [□ Continued pages (please note and use continuation pages when the description page of the invention is inadequate) Invention description continued page 572754 [Embodiment] Please refer to the second and third figures for the sleep muffler provided by the present invention It is mainly used to improve the snoring phenomenon when the user sleeps, so as to achieve a design to effectively suppress the snoring sound. The sleep muffler (3) is formed into a hollow tubular shape, and soft materials are used in the selection of materials. Elastic materials such as silicon rubber (Since the formed silicone is non-toxic enough to make the sleep muffler have both safety, health and comfort effects), a layered structure is formed on the peripheral surface of the tubular sleep muffler (1) to distinguish it into front And the rear tube (3 01, 3 0 2), the front and rear tubes (3 0 1, 3 0 2) are formed with ring-shaped piping (3 0 3) with a diameter slightly protruding from the original tube, Improve its elastic restoring force, and increase the force to press down the tongue. Stabilize the tongue under the outer edge of the tube, so that the tongue will not sag. It will help the muscles such as the lower jaw and soft jaw to be stretched. It can also provide patients with Not easy to fall out in the mouth; in the front tube (3 01) —The edge of the opening at the end is formed with a slightly inwardly curved edge (S) design to achieve ergonomic comfort in use, and the rear tube (3 0 2) —the edge of the opening at the end extends outward to form a The ring-shaped safety device (30) is blocked, so that the depth of the sleep muffler (1) contained in the mouth of the human body is moderate, and accidental swallowing can be avoided, and a pull ring is set across the safety device (30). (31) In addition to being convenient for the user to take off when not in use, it is also possible to provide a strapping rope so that the user can wear it on the body during sleep, which is convenient to use; the other is opened at one end of the front tube (3 01) There is a spherical stopper (3 2) at the center of the inside, which can prevent the tongue from inadvertently causing blockage of the full mouth, and the stopper (3 2) faces the inner hollow short sides which are more curved. A dislocation spoiler (33) is formed on the inner wall to face each other, so that when the air flows through the hollow tube, a proper curved spoiler effect is achieved to buffer the airflow effect, as shown in the fourth figure. [] Continued pages (Please note and use continuation pages when the invention description page is not enough.) 572754 The above-mentioned stop (3 2) and spoiler (3 3) are designed in diameter and length. Take one-third of the long diameter of the oval short tube as a consideration to avoid air flowing directly through the inside of the oval short tube; and its morphological design can be used, such as airfoil, honeycomb, net, etc. Lattice type, curved S type, tassel type or spiral type. The biggest reason why the above-mentioned sleep muffler (3) uses a soft and elastic material, such as silicone, is that when people enter the sleep state, because they are in an unconscious state, the whole body muscles including the face and jaw muscles will be completely relaxed. Containing the "sleep muffler" of the present invention in the mouth, it can inadvertently open the human mouth with its excellent elasticity, and drive the broad neck muscle, mandibular hyoid muscle, chewing muscle, biceps / anterior muscle , Biceps, posterior muscles, etc. produce natural tension, because the tongue muscle is mainly connected to the front and inner side of the mandible (tongue and jaw arch, throat muscle, pharyngeal wall), and promotes the tightening of the mandible muscle, which in turn causes the airway mucosa to rise and tighten The tongue is naturally forward, and the respiratory tract is naturally unobstructed, that is, the elastic recovery tension of the silicone must be greater than the relaxation tension of the muscles of the lower jaw after the person falls asleep, and the remaining tension can be converted into the retracting force that stabilizes the tongue , So that the tongue will not sag and block the respiratory tract, and the snoring sound will be silenced. The above is the description of the structural characteristics of the "sleep muffler" of the present invention. As for its actual use, the details are as follows with reference to the fifth figures (A) and (B): As shown in the fifth figure ( A) shows the state that the sleep muffler (3) is not used when the human body is sleeping; it can be clearly seen from the figure that the tissue structure in the oral cavity includes a soft jaw (20) and a tongue (21) ), Pharyngeal wall (2 2), tongue and jaw arch (2 3), uvula (2 4) and other parts of the body appear to relax and sag due to the sleeping state of the body, resulting in narrowing or obstruction of the airway, this The inhaled air will not be able to flow at all times. When the human body breathes, the air will continue through the nose D. Continue to the next page (if the description page of the invention is not enough, please note and use the continued page) 572754 Description of the invention (1) or deep in the throat forward Pushing, and the friction between the respiratory tract and the mucous membranes will cause sound. At the same time, the friction of the air or the force it generates will not only cause the mucous membranes or surrounding tissues of the respiratory tract to vibrate, but also the secreted substances, which will cause snoring. The phenomenon. As shown in the fifth figure (B), it shows the sleeping state of the human body containing the sleep silencer (3); as shown in the figure, when the human mouth (2) is put into the sleep silencer (3) ), The muscles of the lower jaw will be stretched, which will increase the drooping resistance of the tongue (21). At the same time, the associated airway and mucosal tissues in the mouth will rise and tighten, making the soft jaw (2 0), the tongue (2 1), and the pharynx wall (2 2), tongue and jaw arch (2 3), uvula (2 4) and other parts forward, and drive relevant parts of the oral cavity such as the broad neck muscle, mandibular hyoid muscle, chewing muscle, biceps / anterior muscle, two Abdominal muscles, posterior muscles, etc. produce natural tension. Because the tongue muscle is mainly connected to the front and inner side of the mandible (tongue and jaw arch, throat muscle, and pharyngeal wall), the airway naturally forms unobstructed. At this time, the snoring sound is also silenced and silenced immediately. . In addition, the sleep muffler (3) of the present invention can be further used in different ways according to the severity of the snoring condition of a snoring patient to completely improve the snoring situation. If the snoring patient is mild, it is only necessary to include the part of the tube (3 01) before the sleep muffler (3) during sleep. With the elastic restoring force of the hollow tube body and its open end edge The ring-shaped piping (3 0 3) keeps the tongue (21) firmly under the outer edge of the tube, so that the tongue will not sag; if it is a moderate degree of snoring, it must be included in the mouth to the rear tube (3 0 2) Because the rear tube (3 0 2) is higher than the front tube (3 01), and the elastic recovery force is also greater; similarly, if the patient is a severe snoring person, the sleep muffler (3) can be rotated at this time After 90 degrees, put it in the entrance, and only include the front tube (3 01); if it is extremely severe, you must include it in the rear tube (3 0 2) to effectively suppress snoring. utility.
