Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of asthma treatment device technology, specifically to an asthma inhaler training and testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory airway disease, and asthma inhalers are the main tool used to assist in the treatment of asthma with medication. Most existing asthma inhalers require patients to coordinate their hands and mouths. Specifically, when inhaling medication after using an asthma inhaler, patients need to exhale through their mouths, trying to expel all the air from their lungs, then hold the inhaler nozzle in their mouths to inhale the medication, and then slowly inhale until they can't inhale anymore. Finally, they hold their breath for about 10 seconds and then breathe slowly. This breathing curve can effectively improve the therapeutic effect of asthma inhalers. In addition, the dosage of asthma medication used by asthma patients varies depending on their age, and the optimal efficacy curve also varies depending on the dosage. Therefore, it is necessary to train and test patients to use asthma inhalers to ensure that their breathing curve matches the optimal curve. However, there is currently no relevant training equipment available. Utility Model Content

[0026] A support frame 19 is fixed to the bottom of the test platform 1, and a storage box 17 is fixed on the support frame 19 (the storage box 17 contains mouthwash, a disposable mouthwash cup, an asthma inhaler, and a disposable mouthpiece 10). The top of the storage box 17 is open, and three baffles are evenly arranged on the left and right sides inside. A pair of handrails 18 are arranged mirror images of each other on the test platform 1 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown, the handrail 18 is a U-shaped rod structure with the opening facing downwards, and both ends are fixed on the test platform 1, and a positioning groove 8 is also formed on the surface of the test platform 1.
[0027] The controller 4 is fixed to the rear side of the top surface of the test bench 1, and the dosage measurement structure is located in front of the controller 4, which includes a milligram electronic scale 6 and a control screen 7; the milligram electronic scale 6 is fixed on the test bench 1 and arranged in front of the controller 4, with a tray 5 on top; the control screen 7 is located on the front side wall of the milligram electronic scale 6; the controller 4 and the dosage measurement structure are arranged on one side of the test bench 1, and the respiration detection structure is arranged on the other side of the test bench 1, as shown in the diagram. Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the device includes a test gun 2, a connecting hose 16, a sealing gasket 11, a mouthpiece 10, and a pressure testing box 3. The pressure testing box 3 is fixed on the test platform 1, and an air inlet 14 is provided on the front side wall. A handle 9 is fixed to the bottom of the test gun 2, and the bottom of the handle 9 can be inserted into the positioning groove 8. A test port 15 is provided at the front end. The sealing gasket 11 is a tubular elastic structure and is fitted and fixed in the test port 15 of the test gun 2. One side of the mouthpiece 10 fits against the mouth of the person, and the other side forms an insertion tube 12 (the mouthpiece 10 is a disposable item). The insertion tube 12 is inserted into the test port 15, and the outer wall of the insertion tube 12 abuts against the inner wall of the sealing gasket 11 to form a seal and prevent air leakage from affecting the measurement data.

The controller automatically generates the optimal breathing curve A based on the set inhalation dosage. The controller displays the breathing curve A and the detection results (the actual inhalation dosage detected by the milligram electronic scale 6 and the breathing curve B detected by the barometric pressure detection box 3) through the control screen 7.
[0029] The milligram electronic scale 6, the air pressure detection box 3, and the controller 4, as well as their usage methods, are all existing and mature technologies that are well-known to the general public. The breathing curve A is obtainable using conventional existing technologies.
[0030] In the specific implementation of this embodiment:
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Asthma inhaler use training
[0033] During the preparation phase, place the asthma inhaler on tray 5. As needed, the asthma inhaler contains a simulated spray of asthma medication (asthma medication should not be used frequently). Input the trainee's age, weight, medication dosage, and other information through the control screen 7 to generate and display the breathing curve A on the control screen 7. Then, take out a mouthpiece 10 from the storage box 17 below and insert it into the detection port 15 of the detection gun 2. After preparation, support and hold the inhaler with both hands on the armrests 18 on both sides.
[0034] The test begins, and the control screen 7 starts displaying a timer. The trainee removes both hands from the handrail 18 and picks up the asthma inhaler and test gun 2 respectively. They place their mouth over the mouthpiece 10, exhale according to breathing curve A, inhale the medication using the asthma inhaler, and then place the inhaler back on the tray 5 (this allows for the acquisition of the actual inhaled medication volume, which is compared with the input value to make minor corrections to the final result. The force and duration of pressing the asthma inhaler are also adjusted based on the comparison between the actual inhaled medication volume and the set value). The trainee then places their mouth over the mouthpiece 10, inhales and holds their breath according to breathing curve A. The pressure detection box 3 detects the pressure change and displays it in real-time on the control screen 7 as breathing curve B (the trainee adjusts their breathing based on the displayed breathing curve B and breathing curve A). The controller 4 compares and analyzes breathing curve B and breathing curve A and displays the results on the control screen 7.
[0035] After the test is completed, take out the mouthwash and disposable mouthwash cup from the storage box 17 below, rinse your mouth, and remove any residual medication from your oral cavity.
[0036] Through continuous and repeated training, the assessment results of the test are improved, thereby increasing the patient's proficiency and efficiency in using the asthma inhaler. Furthermore, the patient's own respiratory curve B is more closely aligned with the respiratory curve A, enhancing the effectiveness of the asthma inhaler.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Detecting the user's suction strength
[0039] After the tester inputs specific information such as age and weight through the control screen 7, picks up the test gun 2, and installs the mouthpiece 10 on the test port 15 of the test gun 2. The tester then switches to the test mode through the control screen 7 and sets the number of tests (by increasing the number of tests, the test results become more accurate and reliable).
[0040] The test begins with the tester inhaling slowly until they can no longer inhale. They then blow and inhale into the mouthpiece 10 to detect the user's breathing intensity and lung capacity. After repeated testing, the controller 4 statistically analyzes and calculates the results, displays the average data, and generates the corresponding optimal single dose, number of doses, and respiratory curve A.
[0041] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
