Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of respiratory rehabilitation equipment, in particular to an airway clearance device based on fluid resonance for self-adaptive adjustment of oscillation frequency. BACKGROUND

[0002] The oscillating positive expiratory pressure device is a physical therapy equipment widely used in the field of respiratory rehabilitation, and its core mechanism integrates the synergistic effect of positive expiratory pressure therapy and airway oscillation. The main functions include: removing respiratory tract secretions, expanding the lungs, improving lung compliance, and exercising the respiratory muscles. When using the oscillating positive expiratory pressure device, the user blows air into the device by biting the mouthpiece, and the airflow drives the oscillating mechanism inside the device to move repeatedly to generate oscillation, causing the airflow to oscillate. The expiratory obstruction device can generate positive pressure, so the user needs to exert more effort to exhale, increasing the internal pressure of the lungs, which is more conducive to cleaning the secretions in the respiratory tract.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN214286212U discloses an electronic power oscillating positive expiratory pressure ventilation device, which includes an expiratory pressure ventilation device and an electronic power oscillating device. The expiratory pressure ventilation device includes a gas pipe with two ends through, and a protective cover plate is detachably fixed to the exhaust end of the gas pipe. The protective cover plate has an exhaust hole, and an expiratory pressure detection and adjustment device is arranged between the protective cover plate and the exhaust end of the gas pipe. The surface of the gas pipe is provided with a display screen connected to the expiratory pressure detection and adjustment device. The power oscillating device includes a shell and a vibration motor arranged in the shell. One side of the shell close to the patient's airway has a movable plate. The device has a simple structure and is easy to use. It can display the expiratory pressure, so that the patient can maintain the best expiratory pressure ventilation mode during treatment. For patients with poor expiratory capacity, the electronic power makes the device oscillate at an effective frequency to achieve better airway clearance effect.

[0004] During the use of the device, a certain amount of exhalation needs to be maintained. However, factors such as population, single exhalation characteristics, and others (for example, severe patients with airway stenosis caused by sputum blockage or bronchospasm, despite the small airflow, and the expiratory flow rate of the user presents a "peak-attenuation" characteristic in a single exhalation cycle) result in a small expiratory flow rate, which causes the oscillation frequency generated by the device to decrease, and the therapeutic effect to weaken.

[0014] Preferably, an active rod is arranged on the active plate, the active rod is located below the trigger block, the other end of the active rod is provided with a roller, and a first spring is installed between the active rod and the inner wall of the shell.

[0015] Preferably, a second sliding rail is arranged in the vibration cavity, a sliding block is slidingly fitted on the second sliding rail, one side of the sliding block close to the roller is provided with a matching surface, and the matching surface is composed of an upper plane, a middle inclined surface and a lower plane.

[0021] 3. When the device operates in the case of extremely low exhalation flow, the trigger block will continuously hit the movable rod, causing the size of the flow guide channel outlet to change periodically, resulting in periodic pressure accumulation and release in the air inlet cavity. Not only can it intermittently provide the oscillating plate with sufficient pulse air power, but also can produce intermittent positive pressure stimulation to the patient's lungs and airways. This change in internal pressure helps to further loosen sputum, thereby maintaining the basic treatment effect under extreme conditions.

[0022] 4. By setting the filter pad, the exhaled gas can be dehumidified, which fundamentally avoids the accumulation and atomization of condensate in the device, is conducive to the user's observation of the internal working state, and prevents cross-contamination caused by the risk of residual contaminated liquid leakage during disassembly and maintenance and cleaning. During operation of the present application, the filter pad rotates intermittently in one direction, effectively avoiding the premature saturation of the local area of the filter pad affecting the dehumidification effect, and further making the entire effective area of the filter pad be recycled and evenly utilized, thereby improving the overall utilization rate of the material.

[0031] The following will be for reference. Figures 1 to 7 The various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] An airway clearance device based on fluid resonance adaptive adjustment of oscillation frequency, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a housing 1 and a mouthpiece 2. The housing 1 is equipped with a transparent plate 35. By setting the transparent plate 35 (equivalent to an observation window), the user can observe the internal operation of the device. The housing 1 is composed of two split housings, which are reliably connected and fixed by bolt pairs or quick-release buckle groups. This detachable housing 1 design improves the maintainability of the device and provides convenient conditions for later cleaning or maintenance operations.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a dehumidification mechanism is provided on one side of the outer casing 1, and a flow guiding mechanism is installed inside the outer casing 1. The flow guiding mechanism divides the space inside the outer casing 1 into an air inlet chamber 5 and a vibration chamber 6. The input and output parts of the dehumidification mechanism are respectively connected to the nozzle 2 and the air inlet chamber 5 for fluid communication; Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a vibrating plate mechanism is installed inside the vibrating chamber 6. The vibrating plate mechanism is driven and connected to the moisture-absorbing part of the dehumidification mechanism. An exhaust port 34 is provided on the side of the inner wall of the vibrating chamber 6 away from the air inlet chamber 5. During operation, the user blows air into the outer shell 1 through the mouthpiece 2. This airflow drives the internal vibrating plate mechanism to work, converting the stable airflow into a vibration positive pressure wave with a specific frequency and amplitude. This wave acts on the user's respiratory tract, thereby reducing the adhesion of sputum and promoting its loosening from the airway wall. The loosened sputum stimulates the respiratory mucosa and triggers a cough reflex, thereby expelling the sputum. The airflow inside the outer shell 1 is finally discharged from the exhaust port 34.

[0034] A fixed magnet 7 is installed on the oscillating plate mechanism, and a movable magnet 8 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the vibration chamber 6. The fixed magnet 7 and the movable magnet 8 are magnetically repelled. The oscillating plate mechanism includes a rotating shaft 10 rotatably disposed in the vibration chamber 6. A sleeve 11 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 10. An oscillating plate 12 and a trigger block 13 are respectively disposed on both sides of the sleeve 11. The outlet of the flow channel 9 is disposed facing the front of the oscillating plate 12, and the fixed magnet 7 is disposed on the back of the oscillating plate 12. When the movable magnet 8 moves to the left, the corresponding area of ​​the fixed magnet 7 and the movable magnet 8 decreases, thereby reducing the magnetic repulsion force. Under the action of pneumatic force, the rotation (oscillation) amplitude of the oscillating plate 12 will increase, thereby reducing the vibration frequency.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the two ends of the sleeve 11 are respectively provided with a mounting cylinder 14 and an annular ratchet 15. A torsion spring 16 is installed between the inner bottom wall of the mounting cylinder 14 and the inner wall of the vibration chamber 6. The torsion spring 16 is used to provide the rotational reset force of the oscillating plate 12. A fixing ring 17 is provided on the rotating shaft 10. A one-way push block 18 is provided on the fixing ring 17. The one-way push block 18 is engaged with the tooth groove of the annular ratchet 15. During the swing of the oscillating plate 12, the sleeve 11 performs alternating forward and reverse rotation. Through the cooperation of the annular ratchet 15 and the one-way push block 18, the rotating shaft 10 is limited to intermittent step rotation in a single direction.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the dehumidification mechanism includes an air supply channel 19 located on one side of the outer casing 1. The input end of the air supply channel 19 is provided with a connecting cylinder 20. The inlet of the connecting cylinder 20 is detachably connected to the mouthpiece 2. The mouthpiece 2 is assembled with the connecting cylinder 20 through an interface in the form of a snap-fit ​​or thread. This detachable connection mechanism ensures the interchangeability of the mouthpiece 2 as an independent consumable, which facilitates special cleaning or overall replacement to meet hygiene requirements. One end of the rotating shaft 10 extends into the interior of the connecting cylinder 20, and a filter pad 21 is detachably installed at the end. The filter pad 21 is made of a breathable hydrophilic material, such as a sponge. A connecting port 22 is provided on the outer casing 1, and the output end of the air supply channel 19 is fluidly connected to the air inlet chamber 5 through the connecting port 22.

[0037] It should be noted that during the operation of traditional devices, the high humidity of exhaled air can easily lead to the accumulation and atomization of a large amount of condensate inside the device. This not only seriously hinders the user's observation of the internal working status, but also poses a risk of leakage of residual liquid when the device needs to be disassembled for cleaning, resulting in cross-contamination.

[0038] In the air blowing process of this device, the gas is first dehumidified by the filter pad 21 to form a relatively dry airflow. This airflow is then guided in an orderly manner, passing through the air delivery channel 19 and the connecting port 22 in sequence, and finally entering the interior of the outer shell 1. This design effectively avoids the problems of liquid accumulation and visual obstruction from the source. It should be noted that during the operation of this device, the filter pad 21 rotates intermittently in one direction under the drive of the rotating shaft 10, which effectively avoids premature saturation in local areas, so that the entire effective area of ​​the filter pad 21 is used in a cyclical and balanced manner, preventing performance degradation caused by fixed flow channels or local impacts, thereby improving the overall utilization rate of the material.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the flow guiding mechanism includes a first flow guiding plate 3 and a second flow guiding plate 4. The first flow guiding plate 3 is fixed inside the outer shell 1. The first flow guiding plate 3 and the second flow guiding plate 4 are arranged opposite to each other and together form a flow guiding channel 9. The flow guiding channel 9 has a conical cross-section and its outlet is oriented towards the oscillating plate mechanism. The flow guiding channel 9 adopts a conical converging flow channel design, which can accelerate the airflow, increase its outlet velocity and dynamic pressure, and guide the concentrated airflow to the effective working area of ​​the oscillating plate 12. This not only ensures the efficient transfer of airflow energy, but also significantly improves the excitation efficiency and output amplitude of the oscillating plate 12. A sliding plate mechanism is installed inside the outer shell 1. The second flow guiding plate 4 and the movable magnet 8 are both driven and connected to the sliding plate mechanism.

[0040] The sliding plate mechanism includes a first slide rail 23 disposed within the housing 1, a movable plate 24 slidably connected to the first slide rail 23, the force-bearing surface of the movable plate 24 corresponding to the air intake chamber 5, and a second guide vane 4 fixedly connected to the movable plate 24. Figure 4As a reference, when the air pressure inside the intake chamber 5 increases, it pushes the movable plate 24 to move down, and the second guide vane 4 moves down to increase the outlet of the guide channel 9, so that the air pressure inside the intake chamber 5 decreases rapidly.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 The movable plate 24 shown is equipped with a movable rod 25, which is located below the trigger block 13. The other end of the movable rod 25 is equipped with a roller 26. A first spring 27 is installed between the movable rod 25 and the inner wall of the outer casing 1. A second slide rail 28 is provided in the vibration chamber 6. A slider 29 is slidably fitted on the second slide rail 28. The side of the slider 29 near the roller 26 is a mating surface, which is composed of an upper plane 30, a middle inclined plane 31, and a lower plane 32. When the movable rod 25 moves down with the movable plate 24, the roller 26 rolls down along the upper plane 30. When the upper plane 30 moves to the middle inclined plane 31, it pushes the slider 29 to move to the left, which causes the movable magnet 8 to move to the left. The corresponding area of ​​the fixed magnet 7 and the movable magnet 8 decreases, thereby reducing the magnetic repulsion force. A second spring 33 is installed between the other side of the slider 29 and the inner wall of the vibration chamber 6. The movable magnet 8 is installed on the slider 29.

[0042] The working principle of this device is as follows: During operation, the user blows air through the mouthpiece 2. The air is first dehumidified by the filter pad 21 to form a relatively dry airflow. This airflow enters the air intake chamber 5 through the air delivery channel 19 and the connecting port 22. Then, it is guided by the flow guide channel 9 to the oscillating plate 12. The oscillating plate 12 oscillates and converts the stable airflow into a vibration positive pressure wave with a specific frequency and amplitude. This wave acts on the user's respiratory tract, thereby reducing the adhesion of sputum and promoting its loosening from the airway wall. The loosened sputum stimulates the respiratory mucosa and triggers a cough reflex, thereby expelling the sputum.

[0043] It should be noted that in the air blowing process, the gas first passes through the filter pad 21 for dehumidification to form a relatively dry airflow, and then enters the interior of the outer shell 1. This design effectively avoids the problems of liquid accumulation and visual obstruction from the source.

[0044] During the oscillation of the vibrating plate 12, the sleeve 11 rotates in both directions. Through the cooperation of the annular ratchet 15 and the one-way push block 18, the rotating shaft 10 rotates intermittently, that is, the filter pad 21 follows the rotating shaft 10 in one-way intermittent rotation, which effectively avoids premature saturation of local areas and makes the entire effective area of ​​the filter pad 21 circulate and be used evenly.

[0045] It is worth noting that when using traditional airway clearance devices, the expiratory flow rate of the user during a single expiratory cycle exhibits a "peak-decay" characteristic. In the early stages of exhalation, the high flow rate, if encountering a fixed small-diameter exhaust channel, can easily generate excessive "backflow pressure" inside, posing a potential risk of "barotrauma." In the later stages of exhalation, the natural decay of the flow rate leads to insufficient driving energy, causing the oscillation frequency generated by the device to decrease, and the therapeutic effect to weaken accordingly.

[0046] When the peak expiratory flow rate is input, the internal pressure of the intake chamber 5 increases, driving the movable plate 24 to overcome resistance and move downward. The second guide plate 4 moves downward, increasing the flow area at the outlet of the guide channel 9, which allows the internal pressure of the intake chamber 5 to be released quickly, fundamentally avoiding the risk of lung damage caused by excessive circuit pressure.

[0047] When this device is in operation, if the air pressure in the air intake chamber 5 is sufficient to overcome the preload of the first spring 27 (ensuring that the lung and airway pressures reach the set values ​​to improve the treatment effect), the movable rod 25 moves down with the movable plate 24 to the lower plane 32 corresponding to the roller 26, which is considered the normal working mode; when the expiratory flow decreases, the pressure inside the air intake chamber 5 drops, the first spring 27 pushes against the movable rod 25 and rises, the flow area of ​​the guide channel 9 at the outlet decreases, so that the air intake chamber 5 stores pressure and maintains it at the set pressure; during the upward movement of the movable rod 25, when the roller 26 moves to the middle When the inclined plane is at 31, the movable rod 25 continues to rise, and the second spring 33 will push the slider 29 to the right, that is, the movable magnet 8 moves to the right. The corresponding area of ​​the fixed magnet 7 and the movable magnet 8 is increased, which increases the magnetic repulsion force. The oscillation amplitude of the oscillating plate 12 under the action of air force is reduced, thereby increasing the vibration frequency. This effectively compensates for the frequency drop caused by the user's decreased lung function or insufficient power in the later stage of exhalation, widens the effective treatment time window of the device, prolongs the duration of the resonance effect, and thus ensures the continuity and stability of the treatment effect within a single exhalation cycle.

[0048] It is worth noting that in cases of extremely low expiratory flow (e.g., when the patient's airway is narrowed due to sputum blockage or bronchospasm, making it difficult to maintain a sufficiently strong airflow for a long time), the movable rod 25 will rise to contact the trigger block 13. During the swing of the oscillating plate 12, the trigger block 13 continuously pushes against the movable rod 25, causing the size of the outlet of the guide channel 9 to change continuously. This results in the periodic accumulation and decompression of the air inlet chamber 5, which not only provides the oscillating plate 12 with enough pulse force to start the swing, but also generates intermittent positive pressure stimulation on the patient's lungs and trachea. This change in internal pressure helps to further loosen the sputum and may enhance the patient's desire to cough, thus maintaining the basic treatment effect even under extreme conditions.

[0049] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," which indicate direction or positional relationships, are based on the direction or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
