Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atomization equipment, and in particular to an atomizer. Background Art

[0002] Medical nebulizers are used to atomize liquid medicine into tiny particles. The medicine enters the respiratory tract and is deposited in the lungs through breathing. Current nebulizers have some shortcomings. For example, existing nebulizers use continuous atomization output, which cannot adapt well to the respiratory rhythm autonomously; that is, the output of the nebulizer cannot be adaptively switched with the two actions of exhalation and inhalation. When exhaling, there is still a large amount of droplets output, causing some droplets to escape from the breathing port of the mask, reducing the effective amount of the medicine and making the medicine not fully utilized. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide an atomizer to solve the problem.

[0004] Based on the above purpose, the present invention provides an atomizer, which includes a cup body, a cup core, a cup cover and a flow blocking portion, wherein:

[0006] The blocking part includes two groups of symmetrically arranged blocking units, and the blocking unit includes a first connecting rod. A second connecting rod is provided at one end of the first connecting rod, and the second connecting rod passes through the side wall of the cup body and the cup core. A first spring is provided between the cup body and the first connecting rod. When exhaling, the first connecting rod is controlled to overcome the force of the first spring and move into the cup body, thereby driving the second connecting rod to move and block the medicine liquid tank. When inhaling, the second connecting rod is driven to move in the opposite direction by the force of the first spring, so that the medicine liquid tank is cleared again.

[0007] Optionally, the control unit includes an arc-shaped elastic card, pressure sensors are provided at both ends of the arc-shaped elastic card, the first connecting rod is transmission-connected to a driving unit, the pressure sensor and the driving unit are electrically connected to a controller, and the elastic card is used to be worn on the chest cavity of a human body. When the pressure sensor detects that a person inhales through the expansion of the chest cavity, the controller controls the driving unit to drive the first connecting rod to move toward the outside of the cup body. When the pressure sensor detects that a person exhales through the contraction of the chest cavity, the controller controls the driving unit to drive the first connecting rod to move toward the middle of the cup body.

[0008] Optionally, the control unit also includes a preset module, which is used to execute a preset process, and the preset process includes collecting the breathing frequency of a person within a first predetermined time interval through the pressure sensor, and setting the reciprocating motion frequency of the first connecting rod driven by the driving unit within a future second predetermined time interval based on the breathing frequency.

[0009] Optionally, the control unit also includes a sound collection module, an input module, a comparison module and an alarm, the sound collection module is used to collect the sound duration when the medicine liquid tank is blocked and the sound duration when the medicine liquid tank is unblocked, the input module is used to input the exhalation duration and inhalation duration of a person, the comparison module is used to compare the sound duration when the current medicine liquid tank is blocked with the starting time point of the current exhalation duration, or compare the sound duration when the current medicine liquid tank is unblocked with the starting time point of the current inhalation duration, when the difference between the two exceeds a predetermined value, the controller controls the alarm to sound, and enables the preset module to execute the preset process.

[0010] Optionally, the driving unit includes a motor, a gear is provided on the rotating shaft of the motor, a convex tooth is provided at the bottom of the first connecting rod, the gear is engaged with the convex tooth, a support platform is provided at the bottom of the motor, a groove is provided in the middle of the support platform, two groups of symmetrically arranged clamping units are provided in the groove, the clamping unit includes a second spring arranged on the groove wall, and a clamping plate is provided at one end of the second spring.

[0011] Optionally, a telescopic rod is provided at the bottom of the support platform, and a triangular supporting leg is provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod.

[0012] Based on the same invention, the present invention also provides an atomization method of an atomizer, comprising:

[0013] Add the active substance into the liquid medicine tank, cover the cup lid, put the tank body on the nozzle, and then plug the external air pipe into the bottom of the nozzle;

[0014] The external compressed gas passes through the air pipe and is ejected from the top of the nozzle, and then flows to both sides through the air flow regulating valve. In this process, negative pressure is generated, so that the active substance is sucked out through the liquid tank and atomized by the impact of high-speed air flow;

[0015] When exhaling, the first connecting rod is controlled to overcome the force of the first spring and move into the cup body, driving the second connecting rod to move to block the medicine liquid groove and stop the atomization of the active substance. When inhaling, the second connecting rod is driven by the force of the first spring to move in the opposite direction, so that the medicine liquid groove is cleared again.

[0016] Based on the same invention, the present invention also provides an application of an atomizer on an active substance for improving sleep, wherein the atomizer is used to atomize an active substance for improving sleep.

[0021] When the atomizer is in use, active substances are added into the medicine liquid tank, the cup cover is put on, the tank body is sleeved on the nozzle, and then the external air pipe is plugged into the bottom of the nozzle. The external compressed gas passes through the air pipe and is ejected from the top of the nozzle, and then flows to both sides through the air flow regulating valve. In this process, negative pressure is generated, so that the active substances are sucked out through the medicine liquid tank and atomized by the impact of high-speed air flow. When exhaling, the first connecting rod can be controlled by hand to overcome the action force of the first spring and move into the cup body, driving the second connecting rod to move and block the medicine liquid tank. At this time, the atomization of the active substance can be stopped, thereby reducing the waste of the active substance. When inhaling, the second connecting rod is driven to move in the opposite direction by the action force of the first spring, so that the medicine liquid tank is cleared again.

[0022] As can be seen from the above, during the atomization process, the atomizer can atomize normally during inhalation and stop atomizing during exhalation, thereby saving active substances and allowing the active substances to be more fully absorbed by the human body.

[0029] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, an atomizer, in some embodiments, the atomizer comprises a cup body 1, a cup core 2, a cup cover 3 and a flow blocking portion, wherein:

[0032] The cup body 1 has a nozzle 4 at the lower end thereof, and an air outlet 5 on the cup body 1 for discharging the atomized active substance. A liquid medicine pool 6 is arranged around the nozzle 4. The cup core 2 is arranged at the bottom of the cup cover 3. The cup core 2 has an airflow regulating valve 7. The cup core 2 has two groups of liquid medicine tanks 8. The lower end of the cup core 2 has a tank body matched with the nozzle 4.

[0033] The blocking part includes two groups of symmetrically arranged blocking units, and the blocking unit includes a first connecting rod 9. A second connecting rod 10 is provided at one end of the first connecting rod 9. The second connecting rod 10 passes through the side wall of the cup body 1 and the cup core 2. A first spring 11 is provided between the cup body 1 and the first connecting rod 9. When exhaling, the first connecting rod 9 is controlled to overcome the force of the first spring 11 and move into the cup body 1, thereby driving the second connecting rod 10 to move and block the medicine liquid tank 8. When inhaling, the second connecting rod 10 is driven by the force of the first spring 11 to move in the opposite direction, so that the medicine liquid tank 8 is cleared again.

[0034] At present, when atomization is performed, atomization is always carried out when exhaling, which will cause part of the atomized active substances to be discharged with the exhalation and not inhaled by the human body, resulting in a waste of active substances. In order to solve this problem, when the atomizer is used, the active substances are added to the medicine liquid tank 8, the cup cover 3 is covered, the tank body is sleeved on the nozzle 4, and then the external air pipe is plugged into the bottom of the nozzle 4. The external compressed gas passes through the air pipe and is sprayed out from the top of the nozzle 4, and then flows to both sides through the air flow regulating valve 7. In this process, negative pressure is generated, so that the active substances are sucked out through the medicine liquid tank 8 and atomized by the impact of high-speed air flow. When exhaling, the first connecting rod 9 can be controlled by hand to overcome the force of the first spring 11 and move into the cup body 1, driving the second connecting rod 10 to move and block the medicine liquid tank 8. At this time, the atomization of the active substances can be stopped, thereby reducing the waste of active substances. When inhaling, the second connecting rod 10 is driven to move in the opposite direction by the force of the first spring 11, so that the medicine liquid tank 8 is cleared again.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, during the atomization process, the atomizer can atomize normally during inhalation and stop atomizing during exhalation, thereby saving active substances and allowing the active substances to be more fully absorbed by the human body.

[0036] In some embodiments, the nebulizer also includes a control unit, which includes an arc-shaped elastic card, pressure sensors are provided at both ends of the arc-shaped elastic card, the first connecting rod 9 is transmission-connected to a drive unit, the pressure sensor and the drive unit are electrically connected to a controller, and the elastic card is used to be worn on the chest cavity of a human body. When the pressure sensor detects that a person inhales through the expansion of the chest cavity, the controller controls the drive unit to drive the first connecting rod 9 to move toward the outside of the cup body 1. When the pressure sensor detects that a person exhales through the contraction of the chest cavity, the controller controls the drive unit to drive the first connecting rod 9 to move toward the middle of the cup body 1.

[0037] Continuously pressing the first connecting rod 9 by hand for a long time may cause hand fatigue. In order to solve this problem, in the present embodiment, the expansion and contraction of the human chest cavity is detected by a pressure sensor. When the pressure of the pressure sensor increases, it indicates that the chest cavity is expanding and the person is inhaling. At this time, the controller controls the driving unit to drive the first connecting rod 9 to move toward the outside of the cup body 1, so that the medicine liquid tank 8 is in a clear state, ensuring normal atomization. When the pressure of the pressure sensor decreases, it indicates that the chest cavity is contracting and the person is exhaling. At this time, the controller controls the driving unit to drive the first connecting rod 9 to move toward the middle of the cup body 1, so that the medicine liquid tank 8 is in a blocked state, reducing invalid atomization. In this way, the movement of the first connecting rod 9 can be automatically controlled, freeing the person's hands.

[0038] In some embodiments, the control unit also includes a preset module, which is used to execute a preset process, and the preset process includes collecting the breathing frequency of a person within a first predetermined time interval through the pressure sensor, and setting the reciprocating motion frequency of the first connecting rod 9 driven by the driving unit within a future second predetermined time interval based on the breathing frequency.

[0039] When the human body is turning around or doing other actions, the pressure sensor may detect inaccurately, which may cause inaccurate control timing of the first connecting rod 9. In order to solve this problem, in this embodiment, the preset module collects the breathing frequency of the person within the first predetermined time interval through the pressure sensor, and then sets the reciprocating motion frequency of the first connecting rod 9 driven by the driving unit in the future second predetermined time interval according to the breathing frequency. In this way, there is no need to control the reciprocating motion of the first connecting rod 9 through the pressure sensor detection within the second predetermined time interval. At this time, the problem of inaccurate control timing of the first connecting rod 9 due to inaccurate pressure sensor detection can be avoided. When obtaining the breathing frequency of the person, keep the person's body in a sitting state. The first predetermined time interval can be 5 to 15 seconds, and the second predetermined time interval can be 1 to 2 minutes.

[0040] In some embodiments, the control unit also includes a sound collection module, an input module, a comparison module and an alarm. The sound collection module is used to collect the sound duration when the medicine liquid tank 8 is blocked and the sound duration when the medicine liquid tank 8 is unblocked. The input module is used to input the exhalation duration and inhalation duration of a person. The comparison module is used to compare the sound duration when the current medicine liquid tank 8 is blocked with the starting time point of the current exhalation duration, or to compare the sound duration when the current medicine liquid tank 8 is unblocked with the starting time point of the current inhalation duration. When the difference between the two exceeds a predetermined value, the controller controls the alarm to sound and enables the preset module to execute the preset process.

[0041] By setting the second predetermined time interval, some unexpected situations (such as talking to others) may also cause the reciprocating motion of the first connecting rod 9 to not match the human breathing frequency. In order to discover and solve this situation, in the present embodiment, the comparison module compares the sound duration when the current medicine liquid tank 8 is blocked with the starting time point of the current exhalation duration, or compares the sound duration when the current medicine liquid tank 8 is unblocked with the starting time point of the current inhalation duration. When the difference between the two exceeds the predetermined value, it indicates that there is a mismatch at this time. The controller controls the alarm to sound, and enables the preset module to execute the preset process, so that the reciprocating motion of the first connecting rod 9 is re-matched with the human breathing frequency. The alarm is used to remind personnel that the re-matching has begun, remind personnel that they are in a sitting state, and ensure the accuracy of the re-matching.

[0042] In some embodiments, the driving unit includes a motor 12, a gear 18 is provided on the rotating shaft of the motor 12, a convex tooth is provided at the bottom of the first connecting rod 9, the gear 18 is engaged with the convex tooth, a support platform 13 is provided at the bottom of the motor 12, a groove is provided in the middle of the support platform 13, two groups of symmetrically arranged clamping units are provided in the groove, and the clamping unit includes a second spring 14 arranged on the wall of the groove, and a clamping plate 15 is provided at one end of the second spring 14.

[0043] The cup body 1 can be clamped by two clamping plates 15, so that there is no need for people to hold the cup body 1 by hand. The motor 12 drives the gear 18 to rotate, and the gear 18 drives the first connecting rod 9 to reciprocate, thereby driving the second connecting rod 10 to reciprocate, thereby achieving dredging and blocking of the liquid medicine tank 8.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a telescopic rod 16 is provided at the bottom of the support platform 13, and a triangular support leg 17 is provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod 16. The height of the cup body 1 can be adjusted by the telescopic rod 16 to meet the atomization needs of people of different heights.

[0045] In order to further implement the present invention, the present invention also provides an atomization method of an atomizer, comprising:

[0046] Add the active substance into the liquid medicine tank 8, cover the cup cover 3, sleeve the tank body onto the nozzle 4, and then plug the external air pipe into the bottom of the nozzle 4;

[0047] The external compressed gas passes through the air pipe and is ejected from the top of the nozzle 4, and then flows to both sides through the air flow regulating valve 7. In this process, negative pressure is generated, so that the active substance is sucked out through the liquid medicine tank 8 and atomized by the impact of high-speed air flow;

[0048] When exhaling, the first connecting rod 9 is controlled to overcome the force of the first spring 11 and move into the cup body 1, driving the second connecting rod 10 to move and block the medicine liquid tank 8. At this time, the atomization of the active substance can be stopped, thereby reducing the waste of the active substance. When inhaling, the force of the first spring 11 drives the second connecting rod 10 to move in the opposite direction, so that the medicine liquid tank 8 is cleared again.

[0049] This method can achieve normal atomization during inhalation and stop atomization during exhalation, thereby saving active substances and allowing the active substances to be more fully absorbed by the human body.

[0050] In order to further implement the present invention, the present invention also provides an application of a nebulizer on an active substance for improving sleep, wherein the nebulizer is used to atomize an active substance for improving sleep.

[0053] In this embodiment, the above data can be obtained through testing. For example, each extract component is divided into three groups: low concentration, medium concentration, and high concentration. The specific concentrations are shown in the table below. After taking the test, the test subject answers questions according to the PSQI questionnaire (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). The PSQI score after the test is reduced by more than 10% and is determined to be an effective concentration. Each group of testers must not be less than 5 people. The test participants must not take sleeping pills or antidepressants one month before participating in the test. The test participants must not have a history of taking sleeping pills or antidepressants for more than 6 months. The effective rate of each group exceeds 60% and is determined to be effective, thereby obtaining the above concentration range.
