Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a mask-type micro-mesh nebulizer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the machines and consumables sold in the market and used in hospitals are medical compressor nebulizers and nebulizers used together. In actual nebulization therapy, the noise of medical compressor nebulizers is very loud, which can easily make patients anxious and prevent the nebulization therapy from being carried out continuously. In addition, the residual liquid in the nebulizer cup is large, resulting in serious drug waste. The consumables must be used with the machine, which is quite cumbersome and brings a lot of workload to both hospital staff and patients. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to provide a mask-type micro-mesh atomizer that is low in noise and easy to use.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a mask-type micro-mesh atomizer, characterized in that: it includes a mask frame, with openings on the left and right sides of the mask frame; a mask face patch is fixed in the left opening of the mask frame for contact with the human face; a micro-mesh atomizing module is fixed in the right opening of the mask frame; the micro-mesh atomizing module includes a medicine chamber with openings at both the top and bottom; the lower opening of the medicine chamber is closed by an atomizing module; a mist outlet is formed on the mask frame corresponding to the atomizing module; the atomizing module is connected to a power adapter through a connector on the frame; the power adapter provides power to the atomizing module; the medicine chamber contains liquid medicine; the liquid medicine is atomized into mist by the atomizing module and discharged from the mist outlet into the mask frame for inhalation by the human body.

[0005] A further technical solution is that: elastic band connecting devices are provided on the front and rear sides of the mask frame, and a buckle is provided on each of the two free ends of the elastic band. The buckle is engaged with the elastic band connecting device, and the elastic band is used to wear the atomizer on the user's head.

[0006] A further technical solution is that: several air supply holes are provided on the mask frame on both sides of the mist outlet to improve the inhalation rate of the atomized liquid and make atomization smoother.

[0007] Preferably, the air inlet is arranged in an arc shape.

[0008] A further technical solution is that: a medicine compartment cover is provided in the upper opening of the medicine compartment, and a medicine compartment cover sealing ring is provided at the contact part between the medicine compartment cover and the medicine compartment.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the opening on the lower side of the medicine container is formed with a 30° slope to allow the liquid medicine in the medicine container to be completely drained.

[0010] A further technical solution is as follows: the atomization generating module includes a piezoelectric ceramic sheet, the center of which is provided with a through hole. A stainless steel sheet is provided on the side of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet near the medicine chamber, and the stainless steel sheet is provided with micropores. Two first terminals are connected to the lower side of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet. The free end of each first terminal is connected to a second terminal. The free ends of the two second terminals are connected to the power output terminal of the power adapter. The power adapter provides working power to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet through the second terminals and the first terminals. When the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is energized, a high-frequency vibration is formed between the piezoelectric ceramic sheet and the stainless steel sheet, causing the liquid medicine in contact with the stainless steel sheet to be squeezed out into the atomizing port in the form of tiny particles.

[0011] A further technical solution is that: the connector is provided with a through hole that communicates with the mist outlet, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet and the stainless steel sheet are fixed to the through hole in the center of the connector, and the first terminal is embedded in the terminal fixing groove of the connector.

[0012] Preferably, the face mask is made of silicone material.

[0013] A further technical solution is to install volume scale lines on the medicine container to display the volume of the liquid medicine inside.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: This application combines a micro-mesh atomization module with an atomizing mask, making it convenient for patients to wear and resulting in low noise. The atomized particles generated by the micro-mesh atomization module can reach 3.5 micrometers, and the proportion is relatively large. The particles are relatively stable and more easily reach the lesion, resulting in better treatment effects. The mask-type micro-mesh atomizer has an integrated structural design, which is small in size, lightweight, and easy to use. The separate design of the drive circuit and the drug cartridge not only reduces the weight of wearing it but also reduces the purchase cost for patients. The mask part is made of two materials in one piece, making it more comfortable to wear. The 30° slope design at the bottom of the drug cartridge greatly reduces the amount of residual liquid in the cartridge, reducing drug waste. Attached Figure Description

The container 3 has openings at both the top and bottom. The lower opening is sealed by an atomizing module. A mist outlet 4 is formed on the mask frame 1 corresponding to the atomizing module. The atomizing module is connected to a power adapter 6 via a connector 5 on the frame, providing power to the module. The liquid medication in the container 3 is atomized by the atomizing module and discharged as mist from the mist outlet 4 into the mask frame 1 for inhalation. This application combines a micro-mesh atomizing module with an atomizing mask, making it convenient for patients to wear and resulting in low noise.

[0024] For convenient wearing of the atomizer, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mask frame 1 has elastic band connecting devices 7 on both the front and back sides. Each of the two free ends of the elastic band 8 has a buckle 9, which engages with the elastic band connecting devices 7. The elastic band 8 is used to attach the atomizer to the user's head.
