Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a nasal humidifier for use in otolaryngology. Background Technology

[0002] The human body humidifies inhaled dry air through a sol or gel layer on the nasal mucosa and tracheal and bronchial mucosa. When dry gas flows over these moist surfaces, it carries away water vapor, thus achieving a humidification effect.

[0003] However, existing nasal humidifiers typically require the tube to be inserted into the nasal cavity to achieve humidification. This design can easily lead to the tube being inserted too deeply, causing unnecessary abrasion to the sensitive nasal cavity walls and increasing the risk of infection. When using a nasal humidifier, it often covers both the oral cavity and the nasal cavity at the same time. This not only makes it inconvenient to fix the nasal humidifier in place, but also fails to effectively isolate the oral cavity and nasal cavity. As a result, exhaled air may be re-inhaled into the nasal cavity, affecting the quality of breathing and the treatment effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a nasal humidifier for use in otolaryngology.

[0005] A nasal humidifier for use in otolaryngology includes a breathing mask, a tubing, a reservoir, a nebulizer, a water inlet pipe, a connecting plate, nozzles, fasteners, and a fixing assembly. The shape of the breathing mask is adapted to the shape of the nose and mouth. A tubing is connected to the breathing mask, and a reservoir is connected to the end of the tubing away from the breathing mask. A nebulizer is connected between the reservoir and the tubing. A water inlet pipe is connected to the reservoir. Fasteners are connected inside the breathing mask. A connecting plate is connected inside the breathing mask via the fasteners. Two nozzles are connected to the connecting plate. A fixing assembly is connected to the breathing mask.

[0006] More preferably, it also includes a sealing strip, with the sealing strip connected inside the breathing mask.

[0007] More preferably, it also includes a sealing ring, with the edge of the breathing mask connected to the sealing ring.

[0008] More preferably, it also includes an observation plate, which is connected to the liquid storage tank.

[0009] More preferably, it also includes heating tubes, with at least two heating tubes connected inside the storage tank.

[0010] More preferably, the fixing component includes a first hinge block, a first connecting strap, a second hinge block, a second connecting strap, and Velcro. The left and right sides of the breathing mask are hinged to the first hinge block, and the first connecting strap is connected to the first hinge block. The breathing mask is hinged to the second hinge block, and two second connecting straps are connected to the second hinge block. Velcro is connected to both the first connecting strap and the second connecting strap.

[0011] This invention has the following advantages: It is equipped with a breathing mask, a conduit, and nozzles. The breathing mask is divided into a nasal cavity and an oral cavity. The two nozzles extend into the user's two nasal vestibules, reducing the risk of physical damage to the deep nasal mucosa and improving user comfort. It is also equipped with a sealing strip that fits tightly against the user's philtrum, separating the nasal cavity from the oral cavity and preventing the air exhaled from the user's mouth from being re-inhaled into the nasal cavity. This ensures the user's breathing quality and the humidification effect of the humidifier, and reduces the risk of respiratory infections. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] A nasal humidifier for use in otolaryngology, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a breathing mask 1, a tubing 2, a reservoir 3, an atomizer 4, a water inlet pipe 5, a connecting plate 6, nozzles 7, fasteners 8, a fixing assembly, a heating element 9, an observation plate 10, a sealing strip 16, and a sealing ring 17. The shape of the breathing mask 1 is adapted to the shape of the nose and mouth. The breathing mask 1 is divided into a nasal cavity and a mouth cavity. The tubing 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the breathing mask 1. The end of the tubing 2 away from the breathing mask 1 is fixedly connected to the reservoir 3. The reservoir 3 is connected to the tubing 2. The atomizer 4 is fixedly connected between the reservoir 3 and the tubing 2. The water inlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the reservoir 3. Fasteners 8 are bolts connected inside the breathing mask 1. The connecting plate 6 is connected inside the breathing mask 1 through the fasteners 8. Two nozzles 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 6. The humidifier is equipped with a fixed assembly. Two heating tubes 9 are fixedly connected inside the liquid tank 3. The heating tubes 9 can heat the liquid in the liquid tank 3, which helps to reduce the irritation of the cold atomized liquid to the nasal cavity and respiratory mucosa, improve comfort, avoid condensation, and keep the tubing 2 dry and clean. An observation plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the liquid tank 3. The observation plate 10 is made of transparent material, which allows the amount of liquid in the liquid tank 3 to be observed through the observation plate 10, making it easy to judge the usage progress of this humidifier and then judge whether liquid needs to be added to the liquid tank 3. A sealing strip 16 is fixedly connected inside the breathing mask 1, and a sealing ring 17 is fixedly connected to the edge of the breathing mask 1. The sealing ring 17 can ensure that a tight seal is formed between the breathing mask 1 and the user's face to prevent leakage of the atomized liquid.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a first hinge block 11, a first connecting strap 12, a second hinge block 13, a second connecting strap 14, and Velcro 15. The first hinge block 11 is hinged to both the left and right sides of the breathing mask 1. The first connecting strap 12 is fixedly connected to the first hinge block 11. The second hinge block 13 is hinged to the breathing mask 1. Two second connecting straps 14 are fixedly connected to the second hinge block 13. Velcro 15 is fixedly connected to both the first connecting strap 12 and the second connecting strap 14. The outer wall of the first connecting strap 12 on one side and the second connecting strap 14 on the other side is connected to the hook side of the Velcro 15. The inner wall of the first connecting strap 12 on the other side and the second connecting strap 14 on the other side is connected to the loop side of the Velcro 15.

[0020] When using this humidifier, first, attach the nasal and oral cavities of the breathing mask 1 to the user's nose and mouth respectively. At this time, the two nozzles 7 extend into the user's two nasal vestibules, reducing the risk of physical damage to the deep nasal mucosa, improving user comfort, reducing the feeling of foreign objects, and making the user's breathing more natural. The sealing strip 16 is tightly attached to the user's philtrum, separating the nasal and oral cavities, preventing exhaled air from the mouth from being re-inhaled into the nasal cavity, ensuring the user's breathing quality and the humidification effect of the humidifier, and reducing the risk of respiratory infections. Then, wrap the two second connecting straps 14 tightly around the user's forehead and secure them with Velcro 15. Finally, wrap the two first connecting straps 12 tightly around the user's face and secure them with Velcro 15. The humidifier is secured to the user's face using the first connecting strap 12 and the second connecting strap 14, preventing it from shifting or falling off due to movement or accidental collision. Liquid is then added to the reservoir 3 through the water inlet pipe 5. This liquid can be any of physiological saline, distilled water, or medicinal solution. The liquid in the reservoir 3 is atomized by the nebulizer 4. The atomized liquid enters the nozzle 7 through the conduit 2 and is then sprayed into the nasal cavity through the nozzle 7, thus achieving the humidification function of the humidifier. After use, the fastener 8 is removed to remove the nozzle 7. The nozzle 7 is then cleaned and reinstalled into the breathing mask 1 using the fastener 8 to prevent the accumulation of bacteria, mold, and other pathogens on the nozzle 7 and avoid cross-infection.

[0021] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by means of equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
