Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned conventional devices, when air is supplied to a plurality of sections in the mattress, and the sections are inflated by air pressure, the weight of the sleeper, the expansion speed of the sections, and the degree of expansion vary. , so there is a problem of being unable to prevent snoring or disturbing sleep due to the weight of the sleeper
[0005] In addition, since the weight of the sleeper, the expansion speed of the section, and the degree of expansion change, there is a problem that snoring cannot be prevented or sleep is disturbed due to the weight of the sleeper.

Abstract

The snoring prevention device comprises an air bag mounted between a person sleeping on his / her back on bedding and the bedding, an air pump for supplying air to the air bag, air piping for connecting the air bag and the air pump, a flow rate adjusting valve installed to the air piping, a suction and exhaust valve for controlling the suction and exhaust of the air bag, a snoring sensor for sensing the snoring of the sleeping person, and a control part for turning the suction and exhaust valve to a suction state and driving the air pump when the snoring is sensed by the snoring sensor. An air flow rate to be supplied to the air bag is varied by the flow rate adjusting valve.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a snoring prevention device for preventing snoring of a snoring sleeper. Background technique [0002] Many people snore in their sleep. The snoring disturbs the sleep of other people sleeping in the same room. Thus, snoring prevention devices for preventing snoring have been developed. [0003] As such a snoring prevention device, a type like Patent Document 1 is known. In this device, the mattress is divided into sections, which are filled with air, liquid or gel-like fluid. In addition, sensors for detecting pressure, vibration, and temperature are installed in each divided section. In addition, the above-mentioned document mentions that the position of the sleeper, the number of breaths, heart gaze, snoring, moaning, etc. are detected based on the information from the sensor. Based on these information, the shape of the mattress is changed over time in a manner that induces turning over. Stop snoring by turning...
