Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and relates to improvements in nebulizer technology and usage methods, in particular to a nebulizer quantitative medicine cup, a quantitative drug delivery system and a control method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of medical technology, atomization technology is no longer just an important technical means in the treatment of respiratory diseases, but has begun to be widely used in vaccination, health care, and the prevention and treatment of various non-respiratory diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, tumors, etc., and has broad market prospects.

[0003] The increasingly widespread application scenarios of nebulization technology, especially the emergence of new micro-atomized drugs including various vaccines, require that the nebulizer must be able to achieve precise drug delivery and must also be able to support micro-amounts of drug atomization.

[0004] The traditional nebulizer medicine cup administration mode can no longer meet the needs of single-time micro-amount precision drug atomization. To achieve precise micro-amount nebulizer administration, the current common method is to use a syringe barrel to inject the drug required for micro-amount atomization into the nebulizer medicine cup. This is inefficient and the accuracy is greatly affected by operational factors, making it difficult to guarantee, and cannot meet the needs of micro-amount precision nebulizer administration. Moreover, due to the influence of the syringe barrel volume, it is necessary to prepare the drug in the syringe barrel in advance before administering the drug to the nebulizer, which increases the complexity of the operation. It is not only inconvenient, but the syringe volume also affects the accuracy of the syringe. The higher the syringe precision and the smaller the syringe volume, the more frequent the drug preparation operations are required, thereby reducing operational efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the existing nebulizer drug delivery technology to achieve precise drug delivery, especially the precise delivery of high-efficiency micro-atomized drugs, and avoid the adverse effects of operational factors in the traditional nebulizer drug delivery process has become an imminent and important technical issue for the further development of nebulizer technology and its entry into a broader market.

[0010] A further improvement to the above technical solution: an annular protrusion is provided in the middle of the liquid medicine tube, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the medicine supply hole in the nebulizer medicine cup cover. The portion of the liquid medicine tube below the annular protrusion is inserted into the nebulizer medicine cup body. Due to the obstruction of the annular protrusion, the length of the liquid medicine tube that can be inserted into the nebulizer medicine cup cover is limited, which facilitates the proximity of the liquid medicine outlet of the liquid medicine tube to the atomizer element of the nebulizer.

[0011] Further improvement to the above technical solution: the quantitative dosing valve assembly is equipped with at least two sets of piston valves and liquid medicine tubes of different sizes, and the outer diameter of the piston valve in each set matches the inner diameter of the liquid medicine tube.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following is a further detailed description of this patent with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0043] See also Figures 1-9 An embodiment of a nebulizer metered medicine cup according to the present invention includes a nebulizer medicine cup body and a nebulizer medicine cup cover 4, as well as a metered medicine supply cup. The metered medicine supply cup includes a liquid medicine bottle 2, a liquid medicine bottle cover 1, a valve body cover 3, and a metered medicine delivery valve assembly 7. The liquid medicine bottle cover 1 is disposed on top of the liquid medicine bottle 2. The upper portion of the valve body cover 3 is detachably connected to the bottom of the liquid medicine bottle 2. The lower portion of the valve body cover 3 is detachably connected to the nebulizer medicine cup cover 4, and the metered medicine delivery valve assembly 7 is disposed within the valve body cover 3. The upper portion of the metered medicine delivery valve assembly 7 communicates with the bottom of the liquid medicine bottle 2. A medicine delivery hole is provided in the nebulizer medicine cup cover 4. The lower portion of the metered medicine delivery valve assembly 7 is connected to the medicine delivery hole in the nebulizer medicine cup cover 4, thereby forming a liquid medicine passage between the liquid medicine bottle 2 and the nebulizer medicine cup body. In the initial position, the dosing valve assembly closes the liquid medicine passage. Pressing the liquid medicine bottle cap 1 downward causes the cap 1, liquid medicine bottle 2, and valve cover 3 to move downward, and the dosing valve assembly opens the liquid medicine passage, allowing the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine bottle 2 to be quantitatively delivered to the nebulizer medicine cup body. When the liquid medicine bottle cap 1 is released, the cap 1, liquid medicine bottle 2, valve cover 3, and dosing valve assembly automatically return to the initial position, causing the dosing valve assembly to close the liquid medicine passage.

[0044] Specifically: the above-mentioned quantitative dosing valve assembly 7 includes a piston cylinder 7-1, a spring I 7-2, a piston valve 7-3, a piston 7-4, a spring II 7-5, a sealing cover 7-6 and a medicine liquid tube 7-7. The piston cylinder 7-1 is vertically arranged in the valve body cover 3. The top of the piston cylinder 7-1 is provided with a plurality of vertical grooves as the medicine liquid inlet I 7-8, and a groove is vertically provided on the side wall of the piston valve 7-3 as the medicine liquid inlet II 7-9. The top of the piston cylinder 7-1 is inserted upward into the medicine liquid bottle 2, and a sealing cover 7-6 is provided at the bottom of the piston cylinder 7-1. The upper part of the medicine liquid tube 7-7 is inserted into the piston cylinder 7-1. The outer side of the upper part of the medicine liquid tube 7-7 is provided with a spring I 7-2, a piston valve 7-3, a piston 7-4 and a spring II 7-5 in sequence from top to bottom. The lower part of the medicine liquid tube 7-7 is inserted into the medicine supply hole on the nebulizer medicine cup cover 4. In the initial state, the piston valve 7-3 is closed by the piston 7-4 and the sealing cover 7-6; when the liquid medicine bottle cap 1 is pressed downward, the liquid medicine bottle cap 1, the liquid medicine bottle 2, the valve body cover 3 and the quantitative dosing valve assembly 7 except the liquid medicine tube 7-7 move downward as a whole, causing the liquid medicine tube 7-7 to move upward relative to the remaining components in the quantitative dosing valve assembly 7, thereby compressing the spring I 7-2 and the spring II 7-5, so that the piston valve 7-3 is opened, and is used to allow the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine bottle 2 to enter the liquid medicine tube 7-7 from the liquid medicine inlet II 7-9; when the liquid medicine bottle cap 1 is released, under the action of the spring I 7-2 and the spring II 7-5, the piston valve 7-3 automatically returns to its original position, and the piston valve 7-3 is again closed by the piston 7-4 and the sealing cover 7-6.

[0045] Furthermore, an annular protrusion is provided in the middle of the liquid medicine tube 7-7. The diameter of the annular protrusion is slightly larger than the medicine supply hole in the nebulizer medicine cup cover 4. The portion of the liquid medicine tube 7-7 below the annular protrusion is inserted into the nebulizer medicine cup body. Due to the obstruction of the annular protrusion, the length of the liquid medicine tube 7-7 that can be inserted into the nebulizer medicine cup cover is limited. This allows the liquid medicine outlet of the liquid medicine tube 7-7 to be precisely positioned near the appropriate position above the atomizer element in the nebulizer unit 5 for drug delivery, which is beneficial for improving the atomization effect.

[0046] Furthermore, the above-mentioned quantitative drug delivery valve assembly 7 is equipped with at least two sets of piston valves 7-3 and liquid medicine tubes 7-7 of different sizes. The outer diameter of the piston valve 7-3 in each set matches the inner diameter of the liquid medicine tube 7-7. Since the amount of drug delivered by a single press is determined by the inner diameter of the liquid medicine tube 7-7 and the outer diameter of the piston valve, when the above parameters are constant (i.e., the inner diameter of the liquid medicine tube 7-7 and the outer diameter of the piston valve 7-3 are fixed), the amount of liquid medicine delivered by a single press into the liquid medicine tube 7-7 is a fixed amount. By replacing liquid medicine tubes 7-7 and piston valves 7-3 of different sizes, quantitative drug delivery of different sizes can be achieved.

[0047] Furthermore, the upper inner side of the valve cover 3 is internally threaded, and the lower portion of the liquid medicine bottle 2 is externally threaded, allowing the upper portion of the valve cover 3 to be threadedly connected to the lower portion of the liquid medicine bottle. A corresponding socket is also provided on the inner side of the lower portion of the valve cover 3, and the upper portion of the nebulizer medicine cup cover 4 is plugged into the socket on the lower portion of the valve cover 3, thus achieving a detachable connection and facilitating installation and removal.

[0048] See also Figures 1-10 An embodiment of a nebulizer quantitative drug delivery system of the present invention includes the above-mentioned nebulizer quantitative drug cup, the nebulizer quantitative drug delivery cup is equipped with a nebulizer quantitative drug delivery pressing device and a nebulizer quantitative drug delivery controller, the nebulizer quantitative drug delivery pressing device is electrically connected to the nebulizer quantitative drug delivery controller, the nebulizer quantitative drug delivery pressing device includes an electric device and a pressing head, the nebulizer quantitative drug delivery controller and the electric device drive the pressing head to press the liquid medicine bottle cap in the nebulizer quantitative drug delivery cup downward once to deliver the drug and release it to reset.

[0049] Furthermore, the above-mentioned electric device is a motor, an electromagnetic coil or a piezoelectric device, and the pressing head includes a lever, a support and a tension spring. The middle of the lever is hinged to the support, one end of the lever is connected to one end of the tension spring, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the support. A pressing part is provided on the bottom surface of the other end of the lever, and the pressing part is used to press the medicine bottle cap. The motor, electromagnetic coil or piezoelectric device is equipped with a driving component, and the driving component is used to drive the end of the lever with the pressing part to move downward to press the medicine bottle cap 1 once and release it to reset, and the tension spring is used to reset the lever.

[0050] In actual use, the nebulizer cup body in the above-mentioned nebulizer dosing system is connected to the atomizing unit 5. The atomizing element installed in the atomizing unit 5 is generally an atomizing plate. The nebulizer cup body is also provided with a power socket 8. A PIN 9 provided in the power socket 8 is connected to the atomizing plate in the atomizing unit 5 through an electrical circuit. The bottom of the atomizing unit 5 is connected to the mist outlet 6.

[0051] In actual use, due to the action of spring I 7-2, the liquid medicine inlet II 7-9 on the piston valve 7-3 is enclosed by the piston 7-4, preventing the liquid medicine from entering the liquid medicine tube 7-7 through the liquid medicine inlet II 7-9. More importantly, when the user presses the liquid medicine bottle cap 1, the liquid medicine bottle 2, the valve body cover 3, and the entire dosing valve assembly 7, excluding the liquid medicine tube 7-7, move downward relative to the nebulizer medicine cup cover 4. Because the liquid medicine tube 7-7 is fixed to the nebulizer medicine cup cover 4 by the annular protrusion and cannot move, the relative position of the liquid medicine tube 7-7 and the nebulizer medicine cup cover 4 is fixed, resulting in an upward movement relative to the other components of the dosing valve assembly 7, thereby compressing spring I 7-2 and spring II 7-5, causing the piston valve 7-3 to move upward to the top of the piston cylinder 7-1, resulting in the piston 7-4 no longer being able to seal the liquid medicine inlet II 7-9 on the piston valve 7-3. As a result, the drug liquid enters the liquid inlet I 7-8 of the piston cylinder 7-1, further enters the liquid tube 7-7 through the liquid inlet II 7-9 of the piston valve 7-3, and then drips downward into the nebulizer medicine cup body. When the user releases the liquid bottle cap 1, the spring I 7-2 and spring II 7-5 work together to return the piston valve 7-3 to its original position, and the liquid inlet II 7-9 is re-sealed by the piston 7-4. The liquid in the liquid bottle 2 can no longer enter the liquid tube 7-7, and a single dose of drug is completed.

[0052] See also Figures 1-11 , an embodiment of a control method of a nebulizer quantitative drug delivery system of the present invention, the control method comprises the following steps:

[0053] Step 1: The nebulizer quantitative drug delivery controller reads the single-press drug delivery data of the nebulizer quantitative drug cup;

[0054] Step 2: The nebulizer quantitative drug delivery controller reads the amount of drug required for this nebulization;

[0055] Step 3: The nebulizer quantitative drug delivery controller calculates the number of presses corresponding to the amount of drug required for this nebulization;

[0056] Step 4: The nebulizer quantitative drug delivery controller controls the nebulizer quantitative drug delivery pressing device to complete one pressing drug delivery;

[0057] Step 5: The nebulizer quantitative drug delivery controller detects whether the required number of presses is reached. If not, step 4 is repeated. If so, the quantitative drug delivery process ends.

[0058] Furthermore, in step 3, if the calculated number of presses is less than 2 times, it is necessary to replace a set of piston valves 7-3 and liquid medicine tubes 7-7 with smaller sizes; if the calculated number of presses is greater than 10 times, it is necessary to replace a set of piston valves 7-3 and liquid medicine tubes 7-7 with larger sizes.

[0059] In actual use, based on the amount of medicine required for the current nebulization treatment and the single press of the above-mentioned nebulizer metering medicine cup, the number of presses required for the current nebulization treatment is calculated, and the nebulizer metering medicine cup pressing device is controlled to press the nebulizer metering medicine cup a given number of times, thereby achieving precise micro-quantitative dosing of the nebulizer. For example, the current nebulizer metering medicine cup single press dosage is 0.01mL, and the total amount of precise dosing required for this nebulization is 0.03mL. The number of presses N is: 0.03mL / 0.01mL = 3 times, and pressing 3 times can meet the total amount of precise quantitative dosing requirements. The nebulizer quantitative dosing controller then controls the nebulizer quantitative dosing pressing device to press the nebulizer metering medicine cup 3 times to complete the automatic precise quantitative dosing of the current nebulization treatment.

[0060] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by ordinary technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
