Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, and particularly to a children's respiratory trainer with a status prompt function. Background Art
[0002] A respiratory trainer is a medical device that helps patients improve their respiratory function by adjusting respiratory resistance and monitoring respiratory parameters, and is widely used in fields such as postoperative rehabilitation and the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases. Traditional devices mostly use a combination of a mechanical resistance valve and a basic sensor, and guide patients to perform respiratory training through feedback of pressure or flow data.
[0003] However, there are significant deficiencies in the application of existing technologies to the children's population: First, the adult design results in a mismatch between the device volume and resistance parameters and the physiological characteristics of children, which easily causes discomfort during use; second, the lack of feedback during training makes it difficult to attract children to persist in training for a long time; third, traditional devices lack the intelligent recognition ability for children's respiratory compensatory movements and cannot timely warn of risks such as sputum retention, presenting potential safety hazards; in addition, the hygiene maintenance mechanism is imperfect and it is difficult to meet the high-frequency disinfection requirements of children's products. For this reason, a children's respiratory trainer with a status prompt function is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Preferably, the control module implements multi-level light effect feedback to provide progressive training guidance:
[0022] Basic mode (Q < k2Q max , k2 ∈ (0.2, 0.4) is the basic mode threshold coefficient): Light up the LED units in the order of N values, and the brightness L i = L MAX ×(1 - k3∣i - N∣)(k3 ∈ [0.04, 0.06] is the attenuation coefficient, i is the serial number of the LED unit), L MAX Is the maximum brightness;

[0024] Preferably, the control module controls the opening degree of the flow-limiting regulating valve to achieve non-linear resistance regulation:

[0034] When β > γ2 (γ2 ∈ [40°, 50°]), force the lowest number of LED units 21 (k 10 ∈ [0.4, 0.6] is the lowest lighting ratio coefficient) to light up.
[0035] Preferably, the control module executes a security policy to prevent respiratory overload:
[0036] When all of the following conditions are met simultaneously:

[0043] Preferably, the control module integrates a cleaning reminder to maintain the hygiene of the device:
[0044] When the humidity sensor detects that RH > ρ1 (where ρ1 ∈ [80%, 90%] is the humidity threshold), the blue LED unit displays a breathing light effect (with a brightness fluctuation of ±30%);
[0045] When the cumulative usage time t > τ (where τ ∈ [25, 35] minutes), the buzzer is triggered to give 3 short prompts.
[0046] Preferably, the interaction functions of the data communication module with external mobile terminals include:
[0047] Training report generation: Generating a visual report based on respiratory data that includes the changing trend of the rainbow light effect and the sputum risk index;

[0083] The control module 40 receives instructions from external mobile terminals through the data communication module 70: update training target parameters (such as Q max ) and adjust the light effect mode.
[0084] 2. Control implementation
[0085] 2.1. Breathing phase recognition
[0086] The control module 40 receives the data detected by the flow sensor 31 and the pressure sensor 32, and executes the following decision logic to distinguish the inhalation and exhalation phases:
[0087] 2.11. Inhalation phase trigger condition:
[0088] V > aV max And If α = 0.5 (inhalation trigger flow coefficient), V max = 2.5 L / s (maximum expiratory flow rate), execute the action: activate LED units 1 - 12 (H = 180° - 360°, blue-green gradient).
[0089] 2.12. Exhalation phase trigger condition:
[0090] V > bV max And If b = 0.3 (exhalation trigger flow coefficient), execute the action: activate LED units 13 - 24 (H = 0° - 180°, red-orange gradient).
[0091] 2.2. Breathing intensity calculation
[0092] Calculate the breathing intensity index Q:
[0093]
[0094] Example: When V = 1.2 L / s and P = 15 cmH2O:
[0095]
[0096] Calculation of the number of lit units:
[0097]
[0098] The control module 40 sends a command to the rainbow light strip 20, and the corresponding LED unit 21 of the controller lights up.
[0099] 2.3. Multi-level light effect feedback
[0100] During the children's training process, the control module 40 provides progressive training guidance; the control module 40 dynamically adjusts the light effect mode according to the breathing intensity index Q;
[0101] 2.31. Basic mode:
[0102] Trigger condition: When the breathing intensity index satisfies Q < k2Q max (where k2 ∈ (0.2, 0.4) and Q max = 10.0 L2 / s 2 ), enter the basic light effect mode.
[0103] Light effect behavior:
[0104] Activate the first N LED units in sequence according to the calculated number of lit units
[0105] The brightness of each LED unit is controlled according to the linear attenuation formula:
[0106] L i = L MAX × (1 - k3|i - N|), (k3 ∈ [0.04, 0.06] is the attenuation coefficient)
[0107] Among them, i is the serial number of the LED unit 21 (i ≤ N total ≤ i), L MAX = 250 cd / m 2 ;
[0108] Example: When Q = 2.5 L 2 / s 2 ), The brightness of the first 6 LED units linearly decreases from 100% to 70%.
[0109] 2.32. Reinforcement mode:
[0110] Trigger condition: When the breathing intensity index satisfies 0.3Qmax ≤ Q < 0.7Qmax, the enhanced light effect mode is activated;
[0111] Light effect behavior:
[0112] Trigger the spiral light wave special effect, and the light wave propagates spirally along the rainbow light strip. The propagation speed v is positively correlated with the breathing intensity:
[0113] v = v0 + k5Q, (v0 ∈ [1, 3] cm / s, k5 ∈ [0.4, 0.6] is the speed gain)
[0114] Example: When Q = 5.0L 2 / s 2 , the light wave speed v = 2 + 0.5 × 5 = 4.5 cm / s.
[0115] The light wave color gradually changes from blue (H = 240°) to green (H = 120°), covering LED units 1 to N total .
[0116] 2.4. Adjustment of the flow-limiting regulating valve 50
[0117] The control module 40 executes the following determination logic to adjust the angle of the flow-limiting regulating valve 50;
[0118] Adjust the opening θ:
[0119]
[0120] where θ is the opening and closing angle, e is the natural constant, V max is the preset maximum flow rate, θ min ∈ [10°, 20°], θ max ∈ [70°, 90°], k6 ∈ [0.2, 0.4] is the curve steepness coefficient, and k7 ∈ [0.7, 0.9] is the flow rate offset coefficient;
[0121] Calculation example:
[0122] When V = 1.5L / s, V max = 2.5L / s:
[0123]
[0124] Low flow rate stage (V < 1.0L / s): The opening slowly increases (e.g., when V = 0.8L / s, θ ≈ 32°) to avoid sudden changes in resistance.
[0125] High flow rate stage (V > 1.8L / s): The opening quickly approaches θ max (e.g., when V = 2.0L / s, θ ≈ 84°) to reduce airway resistance.
[0126] 2.5 Sputum Viscosity Warning
[0127] The control module 40 receives the data detected by the vibration feedback device 35 and executes the following decision logic to evaluate abnormal airway resistance;
[0128] 2.51. Viscosity Index Calculation:
[0129]
[0130] where η is the viscosity index, T is the duration of a single exhalation, is the rate of change of expiratory flow velocity, and η th is the sputum viscosity threshold;
[0131] Example:
[0132] Assume that for a certain exhalation with T = 2 s and a rate of change of flow velocity and an average pressure P = 18 cmH2O:
[0133] η = (-0.8) 2 × 18 × 2 = 0.64 × 18 × 2 = 23.04
[0134] Warning Triggering and Response
[0135] When η > η th , the control module (40) performs an operation:
[0136] 2.52. Opening Adjustment of the Flow Limiting Regulating Valve 50:
[0137] Δθ = k8log 10 (η / η th )(k8 ∈ [4°, 6°], and 5° is taken in this embodiment)
[0138] Example:
[0139] Δθ = 5° × log 10 (23.04 / 2.5) = 5° × log 10 (9.216) ≈ 5° × 0.964 = 4.82°;
[0140] Optical Warning:
[0141] Superimpose a yellow halo on the lit LED unit, with a hue shift ΔH = +60°, ΔH ∈ [50°, 70°]);
[0142] The fluctuation amplitude of the halo brightness is ±30%, and the frequency f = 2 Hz.
[0143] By increasing the opening of the flow limiting regulating valve 50, the expiratory resistance is reduced, the breathing burden of children is relieved, and a prompt is given.
[0144] 2.6. Safety Policy
[0145] The control module 40 receives the data detected by the flow sensor 31 and the pressure sensor 32, and executes the following decision logic to prevent respiratory overload:
[0146] 2.61. Trigger Conditions:
[0147] Flow rate exceeds limit V > λ1V max (λ1 ∈ [1.1, 1.3] is the flow rate overlimit coefficient, and the example value is 1.2)
[0148] Pressure exceeds limit P > λ2P max (λ2 ∈ [0.8, 1.0] is the pressure overlimit coefficient, and the example value is 0.8, P max = 30 cmH2O);
[0149] Duration: continuous for t1 ∈ [2, 4] seconds, and the example value is 3 seconds.
[0150] 2.62. Response Actions:
[0151] The flow-limiting valve is fully opened: the opening degree θ = θ max = 90°, immediately reducing the expiratory resistance to the lowest;
[0152] Audible and visual alarm:
[0153] The buzzer 60 sounds at a frequency of f = 10 Hz (sound pressure level ≥ 85 dB @ 10 cm);
[0154] The rainbow light strip switches to alternate red and blue flashing (frequency 5 Hz, duty cycle 50%);
[0155] Example:
[0156] When V = 1.2 × 2.5 = 3.0 L / s, P = 0.8 × 30 = 24 cmH2O, and continuous for 3 seconds:
[0157] The flow-limiting valve is instantly fully opened to 90°, and the expiratory resistance drops to 15% of the initial value.
[0158] The buzzer 60 sounds at 10 Hz, and the LED flashes red and blue (red light H = 0°, blue light H = 240°, alternating interval 100 ms).
[0159] 2.7. Cleaning and Maintenance Reminder

[0164] The LED displays a blue breathing light effect, and the brightness fluctuates between 70% - 100% (the fluctuation range is ±30%, and the frequency is 0.5Hz)
[0165] The buzzer 60 gives a short prompt once every 5 minutes (0.2 seconds, frequency 1kHz);
[0166] 2.72. Cumulative usage time detection:
[0167] Trigger condition: The cumulative usage time t > τ (τ ∈ [25, 35] minutes, and 30 minutes is taken as an example).
[0168] Response action:
[0169] The buzzer sounds three short beeps continuously (each time for 0.2 seconds, with an interval of 0.5 seconds);
[0170] The entire section of the LED light strip displays a green breathing light effect (H = 120°, and the brightness fluctuates ±20%).
[0171] Operation example:
[0172] Scenario 1: After continuous use, the humidity sensor 33 detects RH = 88%:
[0173] The rainbow light strip 20 switches from the current light effect to blue breathing (H = 240°, and the brightness fluctuates 70% - 100%).
[0174] The buzzer 60 gives a "beep" sound to prompt for cleaning.
[0175] Scenario 2: The cumulative training time reaches 32 minutes:
[0176] The buzzer 60 gives a "beep - beep - beep" prompt sound, and the rainbow light strip 20 displays a green breathing light effect.
[0177] The control module 40 locks the operation until the device is restarted.
