Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a child allergic rhinitis nursing device which is not easy to choke on water and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Allergic rhinitis (AR) is also known as allergic rhinitis. Relevant studies have shown that the incidence of allergic rhinitis is about 10% to 25% worldwide, of which about 15% occurs in children under seven years old.

[0003] Current treatment methods include isolating allergens, nasal irrigation, drug therapy, surgical intervention, allergen-specific immunotherapy, etc. Among them, nasal irrigation refers to the use of certain equipment to contact nasal irrigation fluid with the nasal cavity, and the water flow carries away foreign matter to achieve cleaning of the nasal cavity and drug treatment. Nasal irrigation with nasal wash fluid has the advantages of definite efficacy, safety, and universal use in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Drug therapy combined with saline nasal irrigation is a means of caring for allergic rhinitis in children at home.

[0004] At present, the nasal irrigators on the market can be divided into manual spray nasal irrigators, manual water flow nasal irrigators, electric spray nasal irrigators and electric water flow nasal irrigators. These four products use different technologies, have different advantages and disadvantages, and are not well designed for children's physiological and psychological characteristics.

[0005] Among them, the water flow type nasal wash mainly uses a micro water pump to squeeze the washing liquid into the nasal cavity. The washing liquid enters from one nostril and exits from the other nostril. The washing liquid is delivered to the nasal cavity, and the contact between the liquid medicine and the target tissue of the nasal cavity is achieved to clean the nasal cavity and treat the drug. This cleaning method can effectively clean out foreign objects in the nasal cavity, and the cleaning force is strong, but it is also easy to choke. Once choking, children will resist nasal washing, which is an obstacle to rhinitis care.

[0006] The water mist type uses an atomizing nozzle or the Venturi atomization principle to mix water with air to form small droplets. After the small droplets enter the nasal cavity, they can moisten the nasal cavity and remove foreign objects in the nasal cavity. Since the water mist is not strong enough and cannot penetrate deep into the nasal cavity, the cleaning effect is average, but it is not easy to choke on water when used, so it is suitable for children.

[0007] The spray water pressure control methods of the above two nasal washers are both controlled by fixed gears. Once a child chokes on water during use, the water flow will not stop but will still rush into the nasal cavity. The water flow entering the respiratory tract will bring discomfort to the child, making the child afraid of nasal wash products and deepening their rejection.

[0008] At the same time, the human-machine size of current nasal washing products is not friendly to children, and a complete care system has not been formed. In the process of care, in addition to washing the nose, it is also necessary to take medicine and avoid contact with allergens; current nasal washing products can achieve nasal washing, but taking medicine and avoiding contact with allergens cannot be achieved, resulting in the problem that children's symptoms can be improved after washing their nasal cavities at home, but rhinitis recurs after encountering allergens when going out. One of the most common allergens is pollen around us. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing nasal washing device so that it is not easy to choke on water and form a scientific and complete nasal washing care system. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention more easily understood, embodiments are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings for detailed description, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 5

[0030] A child allergic rhinitis care device that is not easy to choke on water, comprising a seat shell 10, a water storage tank 11 is arranged at the upper part of the inner cavity of the seat shell, a concentration indicator 20 is arranged on the water storage tank, an installation chamber 12 is arranged at the lower part of the inner cavity of the seat shell, a pump body 30 whose input end is connected to the water storage tank is arranged in the installation chamber, the pump body is a micro water pump, and the output end of the pump body is provided with a water outlet pipe 13 passing through the water storage tank from bottom to top, and the upper end of the water outlet pipe is connected to an atomizing nozzle 15, so that the water flow is pressurized by the micro water pump, and the water flow and air are mixed into small droplets through the atomizing nozzle and sprayed out. Pressure buttons 40 are arranged on both sides of the seat shell, and a thin film pressure sensor 41 connected to the control main board is arranged on the pressure button, the pump body is electrically connected to the control main board 16 arranged in the installation chamber, and a temperature sensor 18 is arranged on the water storage tank, which is connected to the temperature indicator light 17 arranged on the seat shell through the control main board. A thin film pressure sensor is used to control the water flow intensity, a micro water pump is used to pressurize the water flow, and an atomizing nozzle is used to cut the water flow into small droplets.

[0031] In this embodiment, the concentration indicator includes a transparent shell 21 arranged on the upper side wall of the base shell, the inner side of the transparent shell is provided with a water inlet hole 22 connected to the water storage tank, and a float 23 is arranged in the transparent shell, and the float is in the shape of a small pufferfish.

[0032] In this embodiment, a charging power supply 50 for powering the pump body, control mainboard, film pressure sensor and temperature sensor and a charging port 51 are provided at the bottom of the seat shell, and a power switch button 52 and a power indicator light 53 are provided on the front side of the seat shell.

[0033] In this embodiment, a process indicator light 42 is provided around the pressure button and is connected to a liquid level sensor provided on the water storage tank via a control mainboard.

[0034] In this embodiment, the control mainboard is provided with a Bluetooth adapter for Bluetooth adaptation with a mobile phone APP.

[0035] In this embodiment, a water storage tank cover 19 is provided at the upper end of the seat shell, a conversion joint 14 is provided on the water outlet pipe at the lower side of the cover, the atomizing nozzle passes through the cover and is connected to the water outlet pipe, and a rubber hose is used for the connection end between the atomizing nozzle and the conversion joint, so that the atomizing nozzle can be quickly replaced with a conversion head. At the same time, this rubber hose is also easy to bend, suitable for different gripping postures, and ergonomic.

[0036] Principle of controlling water flow intensity: By squeezing the pressure button, the force is transmitted to the film pressure sensor, causing the resistance of the film pressure sensor to change, thereby controlling the water flow intensity; the relationship between water flow intensity and pressure is a parabolic relationship, see Figure 4 . When using it for the first time, you need to measure the hand pressure under the guidance of the APP. This involves a conditioned reflex of the human body. There are two situations when we choke on water. The first situation is to release your hands and push the nasal rinser away. This is an instinctive reaction. At this time, due to the reduction in the pressure applied by the hands, the water will not continue to flow into the nasal cavity, reducing the discomfort of choking; the other situation is that due to stimulation, the hands will hold the nasal rinser more firmly. At this time, the pressure applied by the hands on the product exceeds the threshold and the water flow stops. Therefore, at the moment of choking, the nasal rinser will stop discharging water to reduce the occurrence of choking.

[0037] Principle of the concentration indicator: First add medical sea salt to the water storage tank, then add warm water to it. Since the change in salt water concentration will cause the buoyancy to change, the position of the small pufferfish suspended in the concentration indicator in the liquid changes. When the concentration is too high, the buoyancy of the salt water is very large, and the small pufferfish is completely exposed above the liquid surface; when the concentration reaches 2%, the small pufferfish is half exposed above the liquid surface; when the concentration reaches 0.9%, the top of the small pufferfish just reaches the liquid surface; when the concentration is less than 0.9%, the small pufferfish sinks into the liquid. Indicating the concentration in this intuitive and interesting way can attract children's attention and reduce their rejection of nasal washing.

[0038] Temperature prompt: When warm water enters the water storage tank, the temperature sensor is affected by the temperature change, the resistance value changes, and then the temperature indicator light changes through the control motherboard. When the temperature is lower than 40 degrees Celsius, the temperature indicator turns blue; when the water temperature is appropriate (for example, 25-30 degrees Celsius), the temperature indicator turns green; when the temperature is higher than 40 degrees Celsius, the temperature indicator turns red. This way of controlling the temperature is simpler and cheaper than using a heater to heat to a specified temperature. It can also reduce the weight of the body and is more suitable for children.

[0039] A method for using a child allergic rhinitis care device that is not prone to choking on water, comprising the following steps:

[0040] (1) Turn on the power switch button, the power supply supplies power to the mainboard, the power indicator light flashes blue and green, and the Bluetooth adaptation stage is entered. Connect the Bluetooth to the mobile phone APP. After pairing with the mobile phone Bluetooth, the power indicator stops flashing and lights up blue.

[0041] (2) Measure an appropriate amount of medical sea salt in a measuring cup, add the medical sea salt and warm water to the water storage tank, and observe the temperature indicator. When the light turns green, it is the appropriate temperature; observe the concentration indicator. When the suspended pufferfish emerges from the water surface, it is the appropriate concentration;

[0042] (3) Press the pressure button by hand, which transmits force to the thin film pressure sensor. The control main board controls the water flow intensity through pressure changes to clean the nasal cavity;

[0043] (4) During the cleaning process, the process indicator light can be observed to show the changes in the liquid level and thus guide the progress of the cleaning;

[0044] (5) Record children’s rhinitis symptoms and medication records on the mobile phone APP.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the teachings of the present invention, designing different forms of children's allergic rhinitis care devices does not require creative labor. Without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, all equal changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made within the scope of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.
