Hydrogel humidifying unit and shell for containing hydrogel humidifying unit

Abstract

The invention discloses a hydrogel humidifying unit and a shell containing the hydrogel humidifying unit. The hydrogel humidifying unit comprises a flaky hydrogel main body with an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface of the hydrogel main body extends to form at least one tubular channel structure, and the channel structure penetrates through the upper surface and the lower surface of the hydrogel main body; the inner surface of the channel structure is connected with the upper surface of the hydrogel main body, and the outer surface of the channel structure is connected with the lower surface of the hydrogel main body; the hydrogel humidifying unit further comprises a shell containing the hydrogel humidifying unit; the shell comprises a shell inner surface and a shell outer surface, the shell inner surface is attached to the lower surface of the hydrogel main body in a conformal mode, a conformal column extending out of the inner surface of the channel structure is arranged on the shell inner surface; and when the hydrogel humidifying unit is horizontally placed, the top end face of the conformal column is higher than or equal to the upper surface of the hydrogel main body.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hydrogel humidifying unit and a housing containing the hydrogel humidifying unit, belonging to the technical field of medical care and daily necessities. Background technique [0002] The total surface area of ​​the human respiratory system is about 140㎡ (mainly the alveolar area), but the surface area of ​​the conductive airway with respiratory protection function is only 0.03㎡, and this small "key protection area" bears most of the protection of the respiratory system. Task: The gel layer is also called the mucus blanket, the sol layer and the directional swinging cilia immersed in the sol layer are the unique structure of the conductive airway respiratory protection. The pollen, microorganisms and other particles inhaled from outside are adhered to the mucus blanket On the surface, each ciliated cell has about 200 cilia, the top of which can touch the mucus blanket and perform a "whiplash" movement at a very high frequency...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The mucociliary clearance system is powerful but also fragile! Inhalation of dry air with a relative humidity of less than 40% RH can significantly reduce the respiratory protection function of the conductive airway; while dry and cold air will cause rapid malfunction of the mucus-cilia clearance system, even if the mucus blanket in it can adhere to particles, the cilia will not be effective Swing, and can induce small airway smooth muscle spasm, resulting in airway narrowing, affecting effective oxygen intake, and impairing cardiopulmonary function
