Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of respiratory exercise, and in particular to a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease respiratory exercise device. Background Art

[0002] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease characterized by chronic bronchitis and / or emphysema with airflow obstruction, which can further develop into cor pulmonale and respiratory failure. During the COPD rehabilitation process, patients need to use a breathing exercise device to exercise their lungs.

[0003] For example, the patent application with application number CN202323166971.7 includes an air pump, and handles are fixedly installed on the front and back of the air pump. An air intake and drying mechanism is provided at the bottom of the air pump, and an exercise mechanism is provided inside the air pump. The air intake and drying mechanism includes an air intake assembly and a drying assembly. The drying assembly is provided inside the air intake assembly, and the air intake assembly includes an air intake pipe, which is plugged into the bottom of the air pump, and a drying box is connected to the end of the air intake pipe away from the air pump.

[0004] Although the device can absorb water vapor and prevent it from liquefying into water droplets inside the air cylinder, the existing breathing exercise device can only perform single exhalation training and ignores the importance of inhalation training. For COPD patients, inhalation and exhalation functions are equally important. Only when both are effectively trained can the overall efficiency of the respiratory system be comprehensively improved. At the same time, when performing breathing exercises, accurately monitoring the patient's breathing volume is the key to evaluating the exercise effect and adjusting the exercise plan. However, existing devices have shortcomings in monitoring the gas intake and output. Patients and medical staff often cannot intuitively and accurately understand the gas exchange of each breath. Patients often find it difficult to judge whether their breathing status meets the standard during breathing exercises, and cannot make timely adjustments according to the training effect. This not only affects the exercise effect, but may also cause patients to give up training due to lack of motivation. Therefore, a COPD breathing exercise device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention addresses the technical problem that the existing technical solutions are too single, and provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technology. It mainly provides a COPD breathing exercise device to solve the technical problem proposed in the above background technology that the existing breathing exercise device can only perform single exhalation training and ignores the importance of inhalation training. At the same time, the device has deficiencies in monitoring the amount of gas intake and output. Patients and medical staff often cannot intuitively and accurately understand the gas exchange situation of each breath. Patients often find it difficult to judge whether their breathing status meets the standard when performing breathing exercises.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:

[0007] A breathing exercise device for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease includes an air cylinder, the interior of the air cylinder is divided into an exhalation zone, an inhalation zone and an inhalation zone, and the inhalation zone is in communication with the exhalation zone and the inhalation zone. A valve assembly is provided inside the inhalation zone, an observation tube is installed below the exhalation zone and the inhalation zone, and a ringing ball assembly is provided inside the observation tube, and a fan blade paddle assembly for making a sound by turning the ringing ball assembly is installed inside the exhalation zone and the inhalation zone. The observation tube is provided above the base, and the observation tube on one side of the exhalation zone is connected to the exhalation tube through a flow cavity opened inside the base.

[0008] Preferably, the valve assembly includes an exhalation one-way valve and an inhalation one-way valve.

[0009] Preferably, the exhalation one-way valve includes a first positioning plate that matches the gas cylinder, and a gas through hole is opened on the first positioning plate. The first positioning plate is rotatably provided with a first sealing plate for closing the gas through hole on the side close to the exhalation area.

[0010] Preferably, the air intake one-way valve includes a second positioning plate that matches the air cylinder, and a gas through hole is opened on the second positioning plate. The second positioning plate is rotated away from the air intake area and is provided with a second sealing plate for closing the gas through hole.

[0011] Preferably, the bell ball assembly includes a suspended ball, and the suspended ball can move vertically inside the observation tube. A connecting rod is provided at the end of the suspended ball, and the end of the connecting rod is connected to the frame through a spring, and a bell is installed inside the frame.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting rod moves inside the air hole opened between the air cylinder and the observation tube, and the size of the air hole is larger than the connecting rod and smaller than the size of the suspension ball.

[0013] Preferably, the fan blade paddle assembly includes a rotating rod, and the rotating rod is rotatably arranged on the upper side of the exhalation area and the inhalation area. A rotating plate is symmetrically arranged on the outside of the rotating rod, and the rotating plate can rotate under the action of wind force. An observation area for observing the rotation of the fan blade paddle assembly is provided on the air cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, the air inlet area is connected to the air hood via a delivery pipe.

[0015] Preferably, adjustment components for adjusting the air resistance inside the exhalation zone and the inhalation zone are provided on both sides of the air cylinder, and an air guide plate is provided on one side of the adjustment component inside the exhalation zone and the inhalation zone.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The present invention is provided with a ringing ball assembly, which can visually observe the amount of gas in and out, and has the effect of real-time monitoring of breathing exercises. By observing the rising and falling positions of the suspended ball in the observation tube, the amount of gas in and out of each breath of the patient can be intuitively understood, which provides a basis for medical staff to evaluate the exercise effect and adjust the exercise plan. The above structure also has the effect of enhancing the patient's exercise motivation.

[0019] 3. When the gas flow rate of the user of the present invention reaches the standard, the suspended ball moves to a certain height, thereby driving the frame and the bell to move to a certain height. At this time, the fan blade plate assembly will come into contact with the frame during the rotation process, causing the bell to emit a prompt sound, so that the user can timely understand the standard status and calculate the time of reaching the standard.

[0020] 4. The present invention is provided with an exhalation one-way valve and an inhalation one-way valve structure, which has the effect of ensuring one-way flow of gas during exhalation and inhalation. This design effectively avoids the occurrence of gas backflow and leakage, improves the safety and effectiveness of breathing exercises, and at the same time, the above-mentioned settings also ensure that patients can effectively train the expiratory muscle groups and the inspiratory muscle groups respectively during the exercise.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly associated with those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of the present invention is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0031] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-4 A COPD breathing exercise device, wherein the interior of the air cylinder 1 is divided into an exhalation zone 101, an inhalation zone 102 and an intake zone 103, and the intake zone 103 is in communication with the exhalation zone 101 and the inhalation zone 102.

[0032] A valve assembly is provided inside the air inlet area 103, an observation tube 4 is installed below the exhalation area 101 and the inhalation area 102, and a ringing ball assembly 5 is provided inside the observation tube 4, and a fan blade paddle assembly 6 for making a sound by turning the ringing ball assembly 5 is installed inside the exhalation area 101 and the inhalation area 102. The observation tube 4 is provided above the base 7, and the observation tube 4 on the side of the exhalation area 101 is connected to the exhalation pipe 9 through the flow cavity 8 opened inside the base 7, and the exhalation pipe 9 is connected to the side of the air inlet area 103 near the exhalation area 101.

[0033] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the valve assembly includes an exhalation one-way valve 2 and an inhalation one-way valve 3. The exhalation one-way valve 2 includes a first positioning plate that matches the gas cylinder 1, and a gas through hole is provided on the first positioning plate. The first positioning plate is rotatably provided with a first sealing plate for closing the gas through hole on the side close to the exhalation area 101. The exhalation one-way valve 2 ensures that the gas can only flow from the exhalation area 101 to the outside during the exhalation process through the gas through hole on the first positioning plate and the rotatable first sealing plate, thereby preventing gas backflow; the inhalation one-way valve 3 includes a second positioning plate that matches the gas cylinder 1, and the second A gas through hole is provided on the positioning plate, and a second sealing plate for closing the gas through hole is rotatably provided on the side of the second positioning plate away from the inhalation zone 102. A push rod is provided on one side of the second positioning plate. The setting of the push rod can limit the rotation of the second sealing plate to a certain extent, so as to prevent the second sealing plate from rotating to a certain angle and causing blockage of the air inlet of the air inlet zone 103. The inhalation one-way valve 3 realizes the one-way flow of gas from the air inlet zone 103 to the inhalation zone 102 during the inhalation process through the gas through hole on the second positioning plate and the rotatable second sealing plate, thereby improving the effect of inhalation exercise.

[0034] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bell ball assembly 5 includes a suspension ball 501, and the suspension ball 501 can move vertically inside the observation tube 4. The suspension ball 501 is made of a lightweight and uniform density material, such as plastic or foam. This material selection enables the suspension ball 501 to move vertically freely and stably inside the observation tube 4. A limit assembly can be set inside the observation tube 4 to further limit the moving direction of the suspension ball 501 to avoid the suspension ball 501 from swinging during movement. A connecting rod 502 is provided at the end of the suspension ball 501, and the end of the connecting rod 502 is connected to the frame through a spring 503. A bell 504 is installed inside the frame. By observing the position changes of the suspension ball 501, the patient can understand his or her breathing status in real time, including the depth, frequency and strength of breathing, so as to make adjustments as needed to improve the exercise effect.

[0035] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting rod 502 moves inside the air hole opened by the air cylinder 1 and the observation tube 4. The size of the air hole is larger than the connecting rod 502 and smaller than the size of the suspension ball 501. The design of the air hole size ensures that the connecting rod 502 can move smoothly in the air hole, and at the same time effectively prevents the suspension ball 501 from separating from the observation tube 4 during the movement. During the inhalation process, the suction force will enter the interior of the observation tube 4 through the gap between the connecting rod 502 and the air hole, thereby adsorbing the suspension ball 501 and moving it upward.

[0036] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fan blade paddle assembly 6 includes a rotating rod 601, and the rotating rod 601 is rotatably arranged on the upper side of the exhalation area 101 and the inhalation area 102. A rotating plate 602 is symmetrically arranged on the outside of the rotating rod 601, and the rotating plate 602 can rotate under the action of wind. The shape of the rotating plate 602 is designed to be a flat plate-like structure with a certain area, so that it can rotate smoothly under the action of wind. The specific shape may be designed to be streamlined or have a certain curvature according to actual needs to optimize aerodynamic performance and improve rotation efficiency. An observation area for observing the rotation of the fan blade paddle assembly 6 is provided on the air cylinder 1. The observation area is made of transparent material, and the rotation of the fan blade paddle assembly 6 can be observed. By observing the rotation speed and amplitude of the rotating plate 602, patients and medical staff can indirectly judge the strength and frequency of breathing, while increasing the interactivity and fun of breathing exercises.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet area 103 is connected to the air hood 1031 through a delivery pipe. The delivery pipe can be set at an angle to prevent the liquid inside the delivery pipe from flowing back to the air hood 1031 to a certain extent. The delivery pipe, the air hood 1031 and the air cylinder 1 are all detachably connected.

[0038] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, adjustment components 10 for adjusting the internal air resistance of the exhalation zone 101 and the inhalation zone 102 are provided on both sides of the air cylinder 1, and wind guide plates are provided inside the exhalation zone 101 and the inhalation zone 102 on one side of the adjustment component 10. The wind guide plates can guide the wind, thereby accelerating the rotation of the fan blade paddle assembly 6. The adjustment component 10 includes an outer cylinder body, and a gas flow port is provided on the outer cylinder body. A rotating plate is rotatably provided on the inner side of the outer cylinder body, and a plurality of groups of through holes of different sizes are provided on the rotating plate. A toggle rod is provided on one side of the rotating plate, and an arc-shaped through groove matching the toggle rod is provided on the outer cylinder body.

[0039] The specific operation process of the present invention is as follows: Exhalation process: the patient presses his lips against the air mask 1031 and starts to exhale slowly. The exhaled gas enters the exhalation area 101 and the inside of the exhalation tube 9 through the exhalation one-way valve 2. At this time, the first sealing plate opens under the gas pressure, allowing gas to pass through. As the gas enters, the air pressure in the exhalation area 101 increases, and the suspended ball 501 in the observation tube 4 is pushed up through the exhalation tube 9 and the flow cavity 8. The rising height of the suspended ball 501 directly reflects the size of the exhaled volume. At the same time, the exhaled gas blows the rotating plate 602 in the fan blade plate assembly 6 to make it rotate. The rotation speed and amplitude of the rotating plate 602 indirectly reflect the exhalation strength and frequency. When the gas flow reaches the preset standard, the suspended ball 501 rises to a certain height, triggering the bell 504 to emit a prompt sound, indicating that the exhalation exercise meets the standard.

[0040] Inhalation process: The patient begins to inhale slowly. At this time, the second sealing plate opens under the action of gas suction, allowing gas to flow. As the gas is inhaled, the suction will enter the inside of the observation tube 4 through the gap between the connecting rod 502 and the air hole, thereby adsorbing the suspended ball 501 and moving it upward. The rising height of the suspended ball 501 directly reflects the amount of inhaled air. During the inhalation process, the gas blows the rotating plate 602 in the fan blade plate assembly 6 to rotate, increasing the interactivity and fun of the exercise. When the gas flow reaches the preset standard, the suspended ball 501 rises to a certain height, triggering the bell 504 to emit a prompt sound, indicating that the inhalation exercise meets the standard.

[0041] Air resistance adjustment: Hold the toggle lever and gently rotate the rotating plate. There are several groups of through holes of different sizes on the rotating plate. The size of these through holes determines the resistance when the gas passes through. Rotate the rotating plate to select the appropriate through hole size. The smaller the through hole, the greater the resistance when the gas passes through, and the larger the through hole, the smaller the resistance.

[0042] The above description of the present invention is exemplified in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as such non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
