Abstract

An earhook anti-snoring device is disclosed. The earhook anti-snoring device includes a casing, a base plate, a control unit, a sound-receiving device, a sound-generating device and a vibrating device. The base plate is arranged in the casing, and the control unit and the sound-receiving device are positioned on a side of the base plate. The position of the sound-receiving device corresponds to a hollow pipe arranged on the casing. The sound-generating device and the vibrating device are positioned on another side of the base plate and the sound-generating device is opposite to the sound-receiving device. The position of the sound-generating device corresponds to another hollow pipe arranged on the casing, and the sound-generating device is directed to an ear canal of a user along the hollow pipe.

Claims

1. An earhook anti-snoring device, comprising:

a casing;

a base plate arranged in the casing, wherein the base plate is provided with a first side and a second side;

a control unit arranged on the first side;

a sound-receiving device arranged at one end of the first side, wherein the position of the sound-receiving device corresponds to a first hollow pipe arranged on the casing;

a sound-generating device positioned at one end of the second side and opposite to the sound-receiving device, wherein the position of the sound-generating device corresponds to a second hollow pipe arranged on the casing, and the sound-generating device is directed to an ear canal of a user along the second hollow pipe; and

a vibrating device arranged on the second side.

2. The earhook anti-snoring device of claim 1, further comprising:

a spring connector arranged on the second side, wherein the spring connector is provided with a first spring contact and a second spring contact; and

a first magnet arranged on the second side, wherein the first magnet is adjacent to the spring connector and is located adjacently between the first spring contact and the second spring contact.

3. The earhook ant-snoring device of claim 1, further comprising:

a button;

a switch unit, wherein one end of the switch unit is adjacent to the button; and

a battery arranged at the central position of the first side and opposite to the vibrating device, wherein the battery is electrically connected with the base plate through a line.

4. The earhook anti-snoring device of claim 1, wherein the casing comprises:

a top casing covering the upper portion of the base plate, wherein the top casing is provided with the first hollow pipe, such that the sound-receiving device is maintained open to the outside of the casing along the first hollow pipe; and

a bottom casing covering the lower portion of the base plate, wherein the bottom casing is provided with the second hollow pipe, such that the sound-generating device is maintained open to the ear canal of the user through the second hollow pipe.

5. The earhook anti-snoring device of claim 1, further comprising:

an earplug; and

a ear hook connected with the earplug and the casing.

6. An anti-snoring system, comprising:

an earhook anti-snoring device; and

a charging base, comprising;

a spring needle connector provided with a first spring needle and a second spring needle; and

a second magnet adjacent to the spring needle connector and located adjacently between the first spring needle and the second spring needle.

7. The anti-snoring system of claim 6, wherein the earhook anti-snoring device comprises:

a casing;

a base plate arranged in the casing, wherein the base plate is provided with a first side and a second side;

a sound-receiving device arranged at one end of the first side, wherein the position of the sound-receiving device corresponds to a first hollow pipe arranged on the casing;

a sound-generating device positioned at one end of the second side and apposite to the sound-receiving device, wherein the position of the sound-generating device corresponds to a second hollow pipe arranged on the casing, and the sound-generating device is directed to an ear canal of a user along the second hollow pipe; and

a vibrating device arranged on the second side.

8. The anti-snoring system of claim 7, wherein the earhook anti-snoring device further comprises:

a spring connector arranged on the second side, wherein the spring connector is provided with a first spring contact and a second spring contact; and

a first magnet arranged on the second side, wherein the first magnet is adjacent to the spring connector and is located adjacently between the first spring contact and the second spring contact.

9. The anti-snoring system of claim 7, wherein the earhook anti-snoring device further comprises:

a button;

a switch unit, wherein one end of the switch unit is adjacent o the button; and

a battery arranged at the central position of the first side and opposite to the vibrating device, wherein the battery is electrically connected with the base plate through a line.

10. The anti-snoring system of claim 7, wherein the casing comprises:

a top casing covering the upper portion of the base plate, wherein the top casing is provided with the first hollow pipe, such that the sound-receiving device is maintained open to the outside of the casing along the first hollow pipe; and

a bottom casing covering the lower portion of the base plate, wherein the bottom casing is provided with the second hollow pipe, such that the sound-generating device is maintained open to the ear canal of the user through the second hollow pipe.
