Description

Sensing device

This creation relates to a sensing device, and more particularly to a sensing device suitable for the neck.

In general, sleep can be provided by a specially designed pillow to provide a comfortable sleep quality for the user. However, if the user is snoring while sleeping, in addition to the snoring noise will affect the sleep quality of themselves or others, serious conditions will cause the upper airway obstruction leading to hypoxia or insufficient blood oxygen concentration, which is sleep apnea, except sleep Not affecting work, it can also lead to chronic cardiovascular disease. At present, there are many ways to solve snoring and sleep apnea during sleep, such as by mouth-operated snoring, automatic adjustment of pillow height, positive pressure breathing apparatus, surgery, and the like.

However, the conventional mouth-mounted snoring device is required to be placed in the mouth, which causes the user's mouth to be uncomfortable, and thus it is difficult to fall asleep, and the male-pressure respirator is also.

Moreover, the conventional method of automatically adjusting the height of the pillow requires installing an airbag in the pillow to adjust the height of the airbag by changing the height of the airbag by inflation or degassing. However, the conventional inflatable height-adjusting pillow is too bulky and therefore inconvenient to carry.

Also, the surgical procedure is very worrying and the acceptance is not high.

Therefore, how to overcome various problems of the prior art is an important issue.

In the aforementioned sensing device, the sensing device includes an oximeter to sense blood oxygen concentration.

In the foregoing sensing device, a controller is included to control the sensing device.

In the foregoing sensing device, the electronic device is further included to cooperate with the sensing device.

In the foregoing sensing device, the covering body is further included to cover the body and the sensing device.

In the foregoing sensing device, the warning device is further included to cooperate with the sensing device. For example, the warning device is a speaker, which can be disposed on the body or the sensing device; or the warning device is a vibrator that can be disposed on the body or the sensing device.

In the foregoing sensing device, the adjusting device is further included to cooperate with the sensing device. For example, the adjusting device includes an air bag structure disposed on the body and located around the sensing device; or the adjusting device is a backpack structure for being worn on the body; or the adjusting device is The inflatable adjustment assembly includes at least one first air bag and at least one second air bag, and the inflatable adjustment assembly can include a third air bag covering the first air bag and the second air bag.

As can be seen from the above, in the sensing device of the present invention, the sensing device is designed to sense the volume, body posture and/or blood oxygen concentration mainly by the body worn on the neck, so the sensing of the present creation The device can analyze and judge the sleep state of the user in real time to improve the sleep quality of the user (for example, to prevent snoring).
