Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lung training equipment, specifically to a lung capacity training device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional lung capacity training methods often involve deep breathing and blowing up balloons. These methods can help improve lung capacity to some extent. For example, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are characterized by airway obstruction and difficulty breathing. Therefore, training to improve the lung capacity of COPD patients is extremely important. At the same time, COPD patients often use adjuvant medications, such as bronchodilators and expectorants, to help them breathe when they have difficulty breathing.
[0003] Existing technologies, such as Chinese utility model patent CN221673365, disclose a "training device for promoting pulmonary rehabilitation." This device uses a float and spring structure inside the training tube to generate corresponding resistance or assistive force based on the patient's breathing intensity, thereby helping the patient exercise their respiratory muscles. Simultaneously, a sputum collection chamber connected to the lower middle part of the training tube effectively collects sputum expelled during training, preventing sputum splashing and contamination. However, this structure also has drawbacks. It is difficult to assist COPD patients with breathing difficulties using supplemental medications. Furthermore, the breathing resistance is difficult to adjust, and since the exhalation and inhalation channels are the same, sputum is easily expelled into the inhalation channel during exhalation, leading to inhalation of sputum during inhalation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medication that can be used to assist COPD patients in lung capacity training, thereby alleviating their breathing difficulties. At the same time, it separates the expiratory and inspiratory tubes to prevent exhaled sputum from being re-inhaled during inhalation.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a lung capacity training device, characterized in that it includes a nebulizer bottle and a training mechanism. The top of the nebulizer bottle is provided with a microporous nebulizer plate and an electronic control switch. The electronic control switch is electrically connected to the microporous nebulizer plate. A medicine bottle is threaded onto the microporous nebulizer plate. The training mechanism includes a breathing tube fixedly installed on the nebulizer bottle. A breathing connector is provided at one end of the breathing tube. Baffles are hinged to both sides inside the breathing tube. A limit rod is provided at one end of each baffle. Sealing shells are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the breathing tube. An adjusting rod is threaded onto one side of each sealing shell. A rubber band is provided at one end of the adjusting rod. One end of the rubber band is fixedly installed at one end of the limit rod.
[0006] Preferably, the atomizing bottle has an inhalation chamber and an exhalation chamber respectively located at the top and bottom. The inhalation chamber is connected to the bottom of the microporous atomizing plate, and multiple ventilation holes are provided on the outside of the atomizing bottle.
[0007] Preferably, the breathing tube has a "Y" shaped structure, with a partition in the middle of the breathing tube, baffles hinged to both sides of the partition, a protrusion on each of the upper and lower sides inside the breathing tube, with the upper protrusion located inside the baffle and the lower protrusion located outside the baffle, and sliding grooves opened on the upper and lower sides of the breathing tube, the sliding grooves being located inside the sealing shell.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, a lung capacity training device is characterized by comprising a nebulizer bottle 1 and a training mechanism 2. The top of the nebulizer bottle 1 is provided with a microporous nebulizer plate 3 and an electronic control switch 4. The electronic control switch 4 is electrically connected to the microporous nebulizer plate 3. A medicine bottle 5 is connected to the microporous nebulizer plate 3 by a thread 251. The training mechanism 2 includes a breathing tube 21 fixedly installed on the nebulizer bottle 1. One end of the breathing tube 21 is provided with a breathing connector 22. Baffles 23 are hinged to both sides inside the breathing tube 21. A limit rod 231 is provided at one end of the baffles 23. Sealing shells 24 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the breathing tube 21. An adjusting rod 25 is connected to one side of the sealing shell 24 by a thread 251. A rubber band 26 is provided at one end of the adjusting rod 25. One end of the rubber band 26 is fixedly installed at one end of the limit rod 231. The medicine bottle 5 is used to fill the medication, such as bronchodilators and expectorants. The microporous nebulizer 3 atomizes the medication and sprays it into the nebulizer bottle 1. The user inhales the atomized medication into the respiratory tract through the breathing tube 21. The pressure generated by the user's breathing pushes the baffle 23 to rotate, thereby opening the breathing passage. The breathing resistance is adjusted by the rubber band 26, thereby training the user's lung capacity.
[0026] The nebulizer bottle 1 has an inhalation chamber 11 and an exhalation chamber 12 located at the top and bottom, respectively. The inhalation chamber 11 is connected to the bottom of the microporous nebulizer plate 3, and multiple ventilation holes 13 are provided on the outside of the nebulizer bottle 1. The inhalation chamber 11 is used to store the nebulized medicine and separates the exhalation chamber 12 from the inhalation chamber 11 to prevent the inhaled air from being contaminated.
[0027] The breathing tube 21 has a "Y"-shaped structure. A partition 211 is provided in the middle of the breathing tube 21, and baffles 23 are hinged to both sides of the partition 211. A protrusion 212 is provided on the upper and lower sides of the breathing tube 21, with the upper protrusion 212 located inside the baffle 23 and the lower protrusion 212 located outside the baffle 23. Slide grooves 213 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the breathing tube 21, and the slide grooves 213 are located inside the sealing shell 24. With the help of the partition 211, the "Y"-shaped breathing tube 21 allows the exhalation and inhalation processes to be carried out separately through two tubes, thereby preventing cross-infection during breathing and preventing exhaled sputum from entering the inhalation tube. The protrusions 212 restrict the rotation of the baffles 23, and the upper and lower protrusions 212 are in opposite positions, so that the upper and lower baffles 23 rotate in opposite directions. Therefore, only one side of the baffle 23 is opened during inhalation and exhalation.
[0028] The breathing connector 22 is adapted to the breathing tube 21. A collection chamber 221 is provided at the bottom of the breathing connector 22, and an inclined drainage block 222 is provided on the lower inner wall of the breathing connector 22, with one end of the drainage block 222 located outside the collection chamber 221. When the user exhales, the sputum carried by the user enters the collection chamber 221 and is collected under the action of the drainage block 222, preventing the sputum from being sucked back under the action of suction.
[0029] The baffle 23 is adapted to the inner wall of the breathing tube 21. A limiting rod 231 is provided at the top of the baffle 23, and the limiting rod 231 is slidably installed in the slide groove 213. The baffle 23 can rotate inside the breathing tube 21, and the rotation of the baffle 23 is limited by the limiting rod 231. At the same time, the limiting rod 231 also provides tension to the baffle 23 through the rubber band 26.
[0030] The adjusting rod 25 has a thread 251 on its outer side and an adjusting groove 252 inside. One end of a rubber band 26 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the adjusting groove 252. The adjusting rod 25 drives the rubber band 26 to move to one side through the thread 251, thereby changing the tension of the rubber band 26 on the baffle 23 and thus adjusting the user's breathing resistance.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] The atomizing bottle 1 of this utility model has a transparent structure, which makes it convenient to observe the atomization state of the atomized medicine;
[0033] The ventilation hole 13 of this utility model is equipped with a filter element to filter the intake air.
[0034] The microporous atomizing plate 3 and the electronic control switch 4 of this utility model have the same principle of atomizing liquid medicine as existing microporous atomizers.
[0035] The connection structure between the medicine bottle 5 and the microporous atomizing plate 3 of this utility model is the same as the existing water bottle sealing structure.
[0036] The medicine bottle 5 of this invention can also be filled with purified water to humidify the inhaled air, thereby relieving the pain of patients with sore throats when breathing.
[0037] The rubber band 26 of this utility model is a specially made rubber band 26, whose tensile strength is suitable for the suction force during breathing.
[0038] The electric control switch 4 of this utility model uses a built-in button battery.
[0039] Example 3
[0040] Working principle: When training lung capacity, the user first puts the required medication into the medicine bottle 5 and connects the medicine bottle 5 to the microporous nebulizer 3 via thread 251. Then, the user places one end of the medicine bottle 5 on top and turns on the electronic control switch 4. The microporous nebulizer 3 atomizes the bronchodilator or expectorant in the medicine bottle 5 and sprays it into the inhalation chamber 11. When the user inhales through the breathing connector 22, negative pressure is generated in the breathing tube 21. The upper baffle 23 in the breathing tube 21 rotates under the action of suction, while the lower baffle 23 in the breathing tube 21 is restricted from rotating by the protrusion 212. At the same time, the rubber band 26 is stretched by the limit rod 231. After the baffle 23 rotates, it opens the channel at the top of the breathing tube 21, so that the user can inhale the nebulized medication inside the inhalation chamber 11 into the lungs through the upper channel of the breathing tube 21.
[0041] When the user exhales, the exhaled waste gas pushes the lower baffle 23 inside the breathing tube 21 to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the upper baffle 23 inside the breathing tube 21 is restricted by the protrusion 212, thereby restricting the rotation of the upper baffle 23 of the breathing tube 21. After the lower baffle 23 of the breathing tube 21 flips, the lower channel of the breathing tube 21 is opened, allowing the exhaled waste gas of the user to enter the exhalation chamber 12. Some users may exhale sputum. The exhaled sputum is drained into the collection chamber 221 by the drainage block 222 and stored to prevent it from being re-inhaled into the mouth during inhalation.
[0042] When the user feels that the breathing resistance is insufficient, the user can rotate the adjusting rod 25, which moves outward through the thread 251. After the adjusting rod 25 moves outward, it pulls the rubber band 26 to become longer, which increases the tensile strength of the rubber band 26. This increases the force required to push the baffle 23 to flip, thereby increasing the breathing resistance and helping COPD patients to gradually increase their vital capacity.
