Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a respiratory assistance device that can be used during sleep or rest, and in particular to a simple structure and ventilation function for non-medical use. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) devices are expensive and bulky medical devices, and have been used to treat severe sleep apnea syndrome diagnosed by a doctor. However, for those who suffer from mild breathing disorders such as snoring, the barrier to adopting such devices is high, and easy-to-use options have been limited. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] To provide a device that enables simple respiratory assistance on a daily basis without introducing expensive medical equipment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] This device is a flexible silicone mask that can be worn around the nose, with a ventilation fan integrated into the center, which sends air directly into the nostrils. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] According to this invention, a respiratory assistance device with a simple structure and easy wear can be provided at low cost, and can be adapted for home and travel use. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] Figure 3: Usage diagram of respiratory support device (including example of connection to external power source) [Figure 2] Figure 2: Side cross-sectional view of the respiratory support device (showing the direction of airflow and internal structure) [Figure 3]Figure 1: Front view of the respiratory support device (showing the mask and fan placement) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] This device includes a nasal mask body made of flexible silicone material and a small fan integrated into the center of the mask, which delivers air directly to the user's nostrils. The mask is shaped to fit snugly against the user's face, and the fan is powered by an external power source. Various power supply methods are available, including USB ports, batteries, and AC adapters. The airflow is designed to flow linearly toward the nostrils, providing a natural airflow when worn. The power cord extends to the rear of the mask for convenience when sleeping or carrying it around. [Example]

[0008] In this embodiment, a small fan with a blowing function is integrated near the center of a nasal mask made of flexible silicone rubber. The fan is small and lightweight, approximately 30 to 60 mm in diameter and 10 to 25 mm thick, and can be optimized to suit the user's facial shape and wearing comfort. The mask is designed so that the airflow from the fan is introduced directly into the nostrils, efficiently blowing air towards the nasal passages. The air outlet can be equipped with a one-way valve and filter as needed. The mask body has straps at least at two points (top and bottom or left and right) to ensure a stable fit on the face, and is made up of 1 to 4 straps. The material and structure of the straps can be selected as desired depending on ease of attachment and detachment and stability. An external power source is used to drive the fan. Common low-voltage power sources, such as USB power, mobile batteries, AC adapters, and batteries, can be used as the power supply, and can be selected based on the convenience of wearing the mask and the intended use. The power cord is pulled out to the rear or side as appropriate so as not to interfere with the mask's structure, and is designed to be suitable for use while sleeping or on the move. According to the present invention configured in this way, a simple respiratory assistance device can be provided that is simple in structure and can be manufactured inexpensively, and is a device that can be flexibly adapted to various environments, such as temporary use at home or for travel. [Industrial Applicability]

[0009] According to the present invention, a respiratory assistance device can be realized with a low cost and simple configuration, We are expanding our business in the fields of home appliances and welfare equipment, home medical care and nursing care, outdoor products, It can be used in a wide range of industries, including disaster prevention supplies and travel goods. In addition, the production method can utilize existing fan mask molding processing technology, This can be done by domestic manufacturers, including small and medium-sized enterprises, and it is easy to set up a mass production system.
