[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a breath disinfection mask 1, which includes a mask 12 and a breath disinfection device 11, wherein the breath disinfection device 11 includes a box 111, a first disinfection component 112, a second disinfection component 113 and a first conduit 114, the box 111 includes a first chamber 1111 and a second chamber 1112 which are isolated from each other, and the box 111 also includes a sixth opening 1114 which is connected to the first chamber 1111, the mask 12 includes a vent 122, and the vent 122 is connected to the sixth opening 1114. It can be understood that after the patient wears the mask 12, the gas exhaled by the patient can enter the first chamber 1111 through the vent 122 and the sixth opening 1114.

[0036] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first disinfection element 112 is located in the first chamber 1111, and the first disinfection element 112 is used to disinfect and sterilize the gas entering the first chamber 1111. In this way, the gas exhaled by the patient can be disinfected and sterilized for the first time.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the first conduit 114 has a first opening 1141 and a second opening 1142 which are arranged opposite to each other. The first opening 1141 is connected to the first chamber 1111, and the second opening 1142 is connected to the second chamber 1112. In this way, the gas in the first chamber 1111 can enter the second chamber 1112 through the first conduit 114.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the second disinfection element 113 is located in the second chamber 1112, and the second disinfection element 113 can disinfect and sterilize the gas entering the second chamber 1112. In this way, the gas exhaled by the patient can be disinfected and sterilized for the second time.

[0039] It can be understood that, through the two disinfection and sterilization treatments of the first disinfection component 112 and the second disinfection component 113, the disinfection and sterilization effects can be effectively improved, and the number of viruses and bacteria in the patient's exhaled gas can be effectively reduced.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first disinfection element 112 is an ultraviolet disinfection lamp. In other embodiments, the first disinfection element 112 can also be 84 disinfectant, microwave disinfection device, etc.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, during the disinfection and sterilization process of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp, bacteria and viruses will generate ozone, which can further kill viruses and bacteria.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the second disinfection component 113 includes a storage bottle 1131 and a disinfectant 1132. The storage bottle 1131 is installed in the second chamber 1112, and the storage bottle 1131 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the box body 111. The storage bottle 1131 contains the disinfectant 1132, and the second opening 1142 of the first conduit 114 extends into the disinfectant 1132.

[0043] In this way, the gas exhausted from the second opening 1142 can directly enter the disinfectant 1132, and the disinfectant 1132 can disinfect and sterilize the gas.

[0044] It should be noted that, in actual application, the volume of the disinfectant 1132 is two-thirds of the volume of the storage bottle 1131 .

[0045] It should be noted that the disinfectant 1132 in the storage bottle 1131 can be substances such as Sanisol, chloride disinfectant, etc.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the second disinfection component 113 also includes a second conduit 1133, the second conduit 1133 has a third opening 1134 and a fourth opening 1135 arranged opposite to each other, and a fifth opening 1113 communicating with the second chamber 1112 is arranged on the box body 111, the third opening 1134 extends into the storage bottle 1131, and the fourth opening 1135 passes through the second chamber 1112 from the fifth opening 1113, and the fourth opening 1135 is communicated with the external environment of the box body 111.

[0047] It is understandable that in this embodiment, the third opening 1134 does not extend into the disinfectant 1132 , and the gas sterilized by the disinfectant 1132 can enter the second conduit 1133 from the third opening 1134 after leaving the disinfectant 1132 , and then be discharged into the external environment from the fourth opening 1135 .

[0048] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the first conduit 114 and the second conduit 1133 are both fixed relative to the storage bottle 1131 to prevent the first conduit 114 and the second conduit 1133 from shaking relative to the storage bottle 1131 .

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the breath disinfection device 11 further includes a first filter element 117 and a second filter element 118 . The first filter element 117 is installed at the first opening 1141 , and the second filter element 118 is installed at the fourth opening 1135 .

[0050] It should be noted that the first filter element 117 can filter the gas entering the second chamber 1112 from the first chamber 1111, thereby reducing the number of viruses and bacteria in the gas entering the second chamber 1112. At the same time, due to the filtering effect of the first filter element 117, the first filter element 117 can prolong the time that the bacteria and viruses in the first chamber 1111 are in the first chamber 1111, and increase the action time of the first disinfection element 112 on the bacteria and viruses in the first chamber 1111, so that as many bacteria and viruses as possible can be eliminated.

[0051] Similarly, in the present embodiment, the second filter element 118 can filter the gas discharged from the second chamber 1112 to the external environment, thereby further reducing the number of viruses and bacteria in the gas discharged into the external environment.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the exhalation disinfection mask 1 further includes a three-way pipe 13, a first one-way valve 14 and a second one-way valve 15. The three-way pipe 13 has a seventh opening 131, an eighth opening 132 and a ninth opening 133 which are connected to each other. The seventh opening 131 is connected to the vent 122 of the mask 12, the eighth opening 132 is connected to the external environment, and the ninth opening 133 extends into the first chamber 1111 through the sixth opening 1114. The first one-way valve 14 is located in the three-way pipe 13. The first one-way valve 14 is used to prevent gas from flowing from the seventh opening 131 or from the ninth opening 133 to the eighth opening 132. The second one-way valve 15 is located in the three-way pipe 13. The second one-way valve 15 is used to prevent gas from flowing from the ninth opening 133 to the seventh opening 131, or to prevent gas from flowing from the ninth opening 133 to the eighth opening 132.

[0053] It is understandable that when the patient wears the mask 12 to inhale, the gas of the external environment can enter the three-way pipe 13 from the eighth opening 132, and enter the patient's body through the first one-way valve 14, the seventh opening 131 and the vent 122. When the patient exhales, the exhaled gas enters the three-way pipe 13 through the vent 122 and the seventh opening 131, and enters the first chamber 1111 through the second one-way valve 15 and the ninth opening 133, and then the first disinfection member 112 and the second disinfection member 113 disinfect and sterilize the gas exhaled by the patient in turn.

[0054] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the eighth opening 132 may also be connected to a respirator. In other words, the exhalation disinfection mask 1 may be used in conjunction with a respirator.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the breath disinfection device 11 further includes an air pump 115, which is disposed on the first conduit 114. Thus, when the air pump 115 is started, the air pump 115 can generate power so that the gas in the first chamber 1111 can enter the first conduit 114 more smoothly from the first opening 1141, and then enter the storage bottle 1131 through the first conduit 114. The air pump 115 can effectively improve and ensure the circulation efficiency of the gas.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the air pump 115 is closer to the first opening 1141 than the second opening 1142 , and the first opening 1141 is located in the first chamber 1111 , so that the air pump 115 can more easily suck the gas in the first chamber 1111 into the first conduit 114 .

[0057] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the air pump 115 can also be disposed at other locations of the first conduit 114 .

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the breath disinfection device 11 also includes a pressure sensor 116 and a control device (not shown in the figure). The pressure sensor 116 is connected to the box body 111. The pressure sensor 116 is used to output a pressure signal representing the pressure in the first chamber 1111. The control device communicates with the pressure sensor 116 and the air pump 115 at the same time. The control device is used to control the air pump 115 to start after receiving the pressure signal.

[0059] It is understandable that, in actual use, the pressure signal can be set to different preset values ​​according to actual needs. When the pressure in the first chamber 1111 detected by the pressure sensor 116 exceeds the preset value, the control device will control the air pump 115 to start, thereby reducing the pressure in the first chamber 1111 and ensuring the patient's exhalation compliance.

[0060] For example, when the patient's lung function is poor, the preset value can be appropriately lowered so that the air pump 115 can be used earlier to reduce the pressure in the first chamber 1111, increase the pressure difference between the pressure in the patient's lungs and the pressure in the first chamber 1111, assist the patient in exhaling, and ensure the patient's exhalation compliance. Correspondingly, when the patient's lung function is normal, the preset value can be adjusted to a normal value, for example, the preset value can be adjusted to the same pressure value as the ambient pressure value.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the mask 12 includes a mask body 121 and a fixing buckle 123. The above-mentioned vent 122 is arranged on the mask body 121. The fixing buckle 123 is connected to the mask body 121. The fixing buckle 123 is used to be mounted on the patient's head so that the mask body 121 and the patient are relatively fixed to prevent the mask body 121 from detaching from the patient's face.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the mask 12 further includes an inflatable skirt 124, which is connected to the mask body 121, and the inflatable skirt 124 is distributed along the circumference of the mask body 121, and the inflatable skirt 124 has a receiving space.

[0063] During actual use, the accommodating space is filled with gas, and the inflatable skirt 124 is used to fit the patient's face, so that the sealing performance can be enhanced to prevent the patient's exhaled gas from leaking out of the mask body 121.

[0064] Correspondingly, please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, an inflation port 125 communicating with the accommodation space is provided on the inflation skirt 124 , and a worker can inflate air into the accommodation space through the inflation port 125 .

[0065] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the entirety of the exhalation disinfection device 11 can be miniaturized, and the exhalation disinfection device 11 and the mask 12 can be integrated to form a disinfection mask structure similar to a gas mask, which is convenient for patients to carry with them.

[0066] In summary, the working principle of the exhalation disinfection mask 1 provided in this embodiment is:

[0067] When the patient exhales, the exhaled gas passes through the three-way pipe 13 and enters the first chamber 1111 from the ninth opening 133, and the first disinfection component 112 disinfects and sterilizes the gas in the first chamber 1111. When the pressure in the first chamber 1111 reaches a preset value, the control device controls the air pump 115 to start, and under the guidance of the air pump 115, the gas in the first chamber 1111 enters the storage bottle 1131 through the first conduit 114, and the disinfectant 1132 in the storage bottle 1131 disinfects and sterilizes the gas again, and then the gas is discharged into the external environment through the second conduit 1133.

[0068] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
