Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a breathing trainer, and more particularly to a breathing trainer for children's rehabilitation, belonging to the field of rehabilitation equipment technology. Background Technology
[0002] A breathing trainer is an instrument used to train respiratory function. It can improve cardiopulmonary function, increase respiratory ventilation, and increase lung capacity. To some extent, it can relieve tension and anxiety. If multiple systems in the body are in a degenerative stage, respiratory function will also weaken accordingly. People with heart disease or weak constitutions need to use breathing trainers frequently. In addition, breathing trainers have good therapeutic effects on certain respiratory diseases and patients with asthma.
[0003] For example, the invention with application number 202010185996.3 discloses a breathing training method for rehabilitation. Through the setting of a limiting slide, an air inlet hose, an air blowing hood, a box, a limiting column, a linkage plate, a limiting arm, a slot, a compression spring, a gong, a connecting arm, a slide and a drumstick, the drumstick can move towards the gong according to the size of the child's lung capacity, so as to strike the gong, thus achieving the fun of breathing training.
[0004] The above-mentioned applications still have shortcomings:
[0005] 1. Because young children have low attention spans, a single type of toy cannot attract them for a long time during training. Current equipment cannot switch between fun toys during use, so they will lose interest after playing for a while, which affects the training effect.
[0006] 2. The training intensity cannot be adjusted according to the training situation during the training process, resulting in low practicality;
[0007] To address these issues, a respiratory training device for pediatric rehabilitation was designed. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The main objective of this invention is to provide a respiratory training device for children's rehabilitation. The device features a fixed block with multiple sets of air holes, each housing a float mechanism, a bubble blowing mechanism, a music playback mechanism, and a horn mechanism. These mechanisms work in conjunction with a slider inside a sliding groove. During training, the trachea is aligned with different air holes, creating various fun and engaging features, increasing the device's appeal and encouraging children to engage in longer breathing exercises. The device is highly practical. Furthermore, a carrying strap at the end of the fixed block allows for easy carrying by children, enabling them to perform self-training during play. The multiple fan-shaped plates inside the trachea, along with a spring, pull rope, and internal spiral tube forming an air source adjustment mechanism, allow for adjustment of the trachea's airway size by controlling the rotation of the internal spiral tube and opening the fan-shaped plates with the pull rope.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a respiratory training device for children's rehabilitation, including a fixed block 1. A groove 2 is provided on one side of the fixed block 1. A slider 3 is slidably arranged inside the groove 2. An air tube 4 is fixed on the slider 3 and passes through the slider 3. A silicone orthotic device 5 is installed at the end of the air tube 4. A hole communicating with the air tube 4 is provided at the middle position of the end of the silicone orthotic device 5. An air source adjustment mechanism 6 is provided inside the air tube 4. Air holes 7 are evenly provided on the side of the fixed block 1 near the groove 2. Four sets of air holes 7 are provided along the length of the fixed block 1. A float mechanism 8, a bubble blowing mechanism 9, a music playback mechanism 10, and a speaker mechanism 11 are respectively provided on the four sets of air holes 7.
[0033] The fixed block 1 has multiple sets of air holes 7 inside, each with a float mechanism 8, a bubble blowing mechanism 9, a music playback mechanism 10, and a horn mechanism 11. These mechanisms work in conjunction with the slider 3 inside the slide 2. During training, the trachea 4 is aligned with different air holes 7 to create various fun toys, increasing the device's appeal and attracting children to engage in longer breathing exercises, thus enhancing its practicality. Additionally, the carrying strap 12 at the end of the fixed block 1 allows children to easily carry the device and conduct independent training at any time during play. The multiple sets of fan-shaped plates 30 inside the trachea 4, along with the air source adjustment mechanism 6 consisting of springs 31, pull ropes 33, and an inner spiral tube 32, allow for adjustment of the size of the air vents inside the trachea 4 by controlling the rotation of the inner spiral tube 32 and opening the fan-shaped plates 30 using the pull ropes 33. This allows for adjustment of the patient's exhalation force during training at different recovery stages, further enhancing its practicality.
[0034] In this embodiment, a sealing ring is fixed on the side of the slider 3 near the air hole 7, and the diameter of the sealing ring is larger than the diameter of the end of the air hole 7.
[0035] During the sliding of slider 3, the sealing ring allows the inner side of slider 3 to fit more closely with the fixed block 1, effectively preventing air leakage at the end of the air pipe 4, thus improving its practicality.
[0036] In this embodiment, both ends of the fixing block 1 are fixed with metal buckles, and the metal buckles are fixedly connected with a shoulder strap 12.
[0037] During use, the device can be carried on the body using the shoulder strap 12 for use at any time.
[0038] In this embodiment, the float mechanism 8 includes a through pipe 13 and a float 14. The through pipe 13 is fixed to the top of the fixing block 1, and the bottom of the through pipe 13 is connected to the inside of the air hole 7. The float 14 is disposed inside the through pipe 13. The diameter of the float 14 is larger than the diameter of the opening at the top of the air hole 7, and the diameter of the top of the through pipe 13 is smaller than the diameter of the float 14.
[0039] During use, when the slider 3 moves and the air tube 4 connects with the air hole 7 at the bottom of the tube 13, the teeth bite onto the silicone orthodontic appliance 5, which can correct and treat the teeth. In addition, by blowing air into the silicone orthodontic appliance 5, the air enters the interior of the tube 13 and applies an upward thrust to the float 14, which can float. When inhaling, the float 14 returns to its original position.
[0040] In this embodiment, the bubble blowing mechanism 9 includes a liquid storage box 15, a through groove 16, and a fixing plate 21. The liquid storage box 15 is fixed to the top of the fixing block 1. The liquid storage box 15 is located at the top of the air hole 7 on the side of the through pipe 13. The through groove 16 is opened at the top of the inner side of the air hole 7. A pressure plate 17 is installed on the through groove 16. A baffle 18 is fixed at the bottom end of the pressure plate 17. The baffle 18 is rotatably installed inside the air hole 7. A balloon 19 is provided at the top of the through groove 16. The balloon 19 is in communication with the inside of the liquid storage box 15. A drain pipe 20 is installed on the balloon 19. A fixing plate 21 is provided at the end of the air hole 7 away from the baffle 18. An opening 22 is opened at the middle position of the fixing plate 21. The bottom end of the drain pipe 20 extends to the top of the opening 22. One-way valves are provided between the balloon 19 and the liquid storage box 15 and on the drain pipe 20.
[0041] After the air tube 4 is connected to the air hole 7 at the bottom of the reservoir 15, when blowing air, the control baffle 18 tilts away from the side away from the slide 2. The pressure plate 17 at the top of the baffle 18 squeezes the balloon 19, causing the bubble liquid inside the balloon 19 to be discharged from the drain tube 20 and sprayed onto the opening 22 on the fixed plate 21, forming a water film at the opening 22. When exhaling, the gas is discharged from the opening 22, thus forming bubbles that are discharged from the inside of the air hole 7. When exhaling, the balloon 19 and the baffle 18 return to their original positions.
[0042] In this embodiment, a transparent window is provided on the outside of the liquid storage box 15, and an addition port is provided on the top of the liquid storage box 15.
[0043] The transparent window allows for observation of the liquid inside the reservoir 15, enabling timely replenishment.
[0044] In this embodiment, the music playback mechanism 10 includes a rotating rod 23, a fan blade 24, and a cylindrical rod 25. The rotating rod 23 is rotatably installed inside a set of air holes 7. The fan blade 24 is installed at one end of the rotating rod 23 near the slide groove 2, and the cylindrical rod 25 is fixed at the other end of the rotating rod 23 away from the fan blade 24. A metal block 26 is fixed to the outside of the cylindrical rod 25. Metal plates 27 are symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the air holes 7. The gap between the metal plate 27 and the cylindrical rod 25 is smaller than the height of the metal block 26.
[0045] When the air hole 7 at the trachea 4 and the fan blade 24 is connected, exhalation will control the fan blade 24 to drive the cylindrical rod 25 at the end of the rotating rod 23 to rotate. The metal block 26 on the cylindrical rod 25 will pluck the metal plate 27 to produce music.
[0046] In this embodiment, the horn mechanism 11 includes a whistle 28 and a horn cover 29. The whistle 28 is fixed inside a set of air holes 7, and the horn cover 29 is installed at the end of the air holes 7 away from the slide groove 2.
[0047] When the air hole 7 at the trachea 4 and the whistle 28 is connected, the exhalation control whistle 28 sounds, and the horn cover 29 amplifies the sound.
[0048] In this embodiment, the air source adjustment mechanism 6 includes a sector plate 30, a spring 31, and an inner spiral tube 32. The sector plate 30 is hinged inside the air pipe 4, and multiple sets of sector plates 30 form a circle. A spring 31 is provided between the outer side of the sector plate 30 and the inner wall of the air pipe 4. The inner spiral tube 32 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the air pipe 4. A pull rope 33 is provided between the outer side of the inner spiral tube 32 and the sector plate 30. The pull rope 33 is slidably connected to the air pipe 4.
[0049] During use, by rotating the inner spiral tube 32, the pull rope 33 can be stretched outward. Therefore, the pull rope 33 expands the fan-shaped plate 30 outward, adjusts the size of the air inlet inside the trachea 4, and thus adjusts the resistance when the patient exhales.
[0050] In this embodiment, four sets of sector plates 30 are provided, and the included angle of the sector plates 30 is 90°.
[0051] The four sets of sector plates 30 allow for easy opening and closing, making control more convenient.
[0052] The above description is merely a further embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and concept of the present invention, shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
