Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a liquid storage device, in particular to a liquid storage device with a bubble blocking structure. Background Art

[0002] Medical nebulizers are primarily used to administer medication through the user's respiratory system. The user pours a dose of medication into the nebulizer's internal reservoir, where the atomizing unit atomizes the medication into tiny aerosol molecules of a specific particle size. These aerosol molecules are then delivered through the user's mouth and nose, entering the user's respiratory system through breathing and traveling through the circulatory system to achieve therapeutic results.

[0003] Existing nebulizers have a detection unit installed inside the liquid reservoir to monitor the amount of liquid medicine in the reservoir. This unit can detect and determine whether the liquid medicine in the reservoir is about to be used up, and then output a corresponding detection signal to the control unit inside the nebulizer, causing it to stop the operation of the nebulizer unit in advance, preventing the nebulizer unit from continuing to vibrate and causing damage when the liquid medicine is exhausted.

[0004] However, part of the liquid medicine will generate bubbles during the vibration of the atomization unit. These bubbles are likely to cover or remain on the detection unit, affecting the sensing results of the detection unit, making it impossible for the detection unit to accurately detect the amount of liquid medicine and control the operation of the atomization unit accordingly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a liquid storage device with a bubble blocking structure to address the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one of the technical solutions adopted by the present invention is to provide a liquid storage device, which includes a liquid storage tank, an atomization module, a detection module, a cover body, and a bubble blocking structure. The liquid storage tank has an opening, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank has a through hole. The atomization module is arranged in the through hole. The detection module is arranged in the liquid storage tank and is adjacent to the through hole. The cover body is arranged in the liquid storage tank and covers the opening. The bubble blocking structure is arranged in the liquid storage tank, and the projected area of ​​the bubble blocking structure vertically projected onto the bottom of the liquid storage tank at least partially overlaps with the through hole.

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a liquid storage device, which includes a liquid storage tank, an atomization module, a detection module, a cover body and a bubble blocking structure. The liquid storage tank has an opening, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank has a through hole. The atomization module is arranged in the through hole. The detection module is arranged in the liquid storage tank and adjacent to the through hole. The cover body is arranged in the liquid storage tank and covers the opening. The bubble blocking structure is arranged in the liquid storage tank. The bubble blocking structure includes a plurality of annular parts, and the plurality of annular parts surround the through hole and together form a concentric circle structure.

[0008] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a liquid storage device, which includes a liquid storage tank, an atomization module, a detection module, a cover body and a bubble blocking structure. The liquid storage tank has an opening, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank has a through hole. The atomization module is arranged in the through hole. The detection module is arranged in the liquid storage tank and adjacent to the through hole. The cover body is arranged in the liquid storage tank and covers the opening. The bubble blocking structure is arranged in the liquid storage tank, and the bubble blocking structure includes a straight pipe fitting, which is located directly above the through hole. The straight pipe fitting does not contact the atomization module or the through hole, and only collects bubbles generated by the liquid medicine during the atomization process above the through hole.

[0009] One of the beneficial effects of the present invention is that the liquid storage device provided by the present invention can be provided with a bubble-blocking structure within the liquid storage tank. The bubble-blocking structure utilizes surface properties to adhere to or attract bubbles, or utilizes structural design to block bubbles. Thus, when bubbles are generated during the atomization process of the liquid medicine, the bubble-blocking structure collects these bubbles, isolating them so that they do not cover or remain in the detection area of ​​the detection module, thereby preventing bubbles from covering or remaining in the detection area and affecting the detection module's detection results.

[0040] The following is an explanation of the implementation of the "liquid storage device" disclosed in the present invention through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the concept of the present invention. In addition, the drawings of the present invention are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted according to actual dimensions. It is stated in advance. The following embodiments will further explain the relevant technical content of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] It should be understood that although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components, these components should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another. In addition, the term "or" as used herein may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items, depending on the actual situation.

[0042] First embodiment

[0043] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M suitable for a nebulizer (not shown), which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover body 4 and a bubble blocking structure 5. The interior of the liquid storage tank 1 is a accommodating cavity for storing liquid medicine. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The opening 101 and the through hole 102 are connected through the accommodating cavity. The atomization module 2 is arranged in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is arranged in the liquid storage tank 1, exposed to the accommodating cavity and adjacent to the through hole 102.

[0044] When the medicine liquid is stored in the liquid reservoir 1, the detection module 3 will also be immersed in the medicine liquid, so that the detection module 3 can detect the amount of medicine liquid to determine whether the medicine liquid in the liquid reservoir is about to run out. After the medicine liquid passes through the through hole 102 and is atomized by the atomization module 2 to form an aerosol, it is then sprayed into the user's mouth and nose through the nozzle of the atomizer (not shown). The cover body 4 covers the opening 101. Specifically, the cover body 4 has a pivot member 41, and the cover body 4 is connected to the pivot shaft 11 of the liquid reservoir 1 through the pivot member 41 to perform actions such as opening or closing.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bubble barrier structure 5 includes a partition wall 51 connected to the lower surface of the bubble barrier structure 5 and extending toward the through hole 102. Furthermore, a first fixing rib 521 and a second fixing rib 522 are respectively provided on both sides of the bubble barrier structure 5. The first fixing rib 521 and the second fixing rib 522 are used to strengthen the structural strength of the partition wall 51.

[0046] When the cover 4 is closed, the bubble blocking structure 5 is located in the liquid storage tank 1. Figure 3 As shown, the lower edge 510 of the partition wall 51 is lower than the detection module 3 and higher than the through hole 102. Specifically, there is a gap between the lower edge 510 and the through hole 102, and the height of the gap can be selected to be 0.2mm to 10mm. The projected area of ​​the partition wall 51 perpendicular to the bottom of the liquid reservoir 1 at least partially overlaps with the through hole 102. More specifically, the projected area of ​​the partition wall 51 perpendicular to the bottom of the liquid reservoir 1 is located in the center of the through hole 102.

[0047] Thus, partition wall 51 utilizes its surface properties to adhere to or attract bubbles generated during the atomization of the drug solution, and its structural design blocks these bubbles. When bubbles are generated during the atomization process, these bubbles are isolated by partition wall 51 and prevented from covering or remaining in the detection area of ​​detection module 3, thereby preventing bubbles from covering or remaining in the detection area and affecting the detection results of detection module 3.

[0048] It should be noted that the above example is only one feasible embodiment and is not intended to limit the present invention. The subsequent embodiments primarily illustrate variations in the bubble blocking structure 5 . The structures of the liquid storage tank 1 , atomization module 2 , detection module 3 , and cover 4 of the liquid storage device M are similar to those of the first embodiment.

[0049] Second embodiment

[0050] See Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a second embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M, which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 and adjacent to the through hole 102. The cover 4 is pivotally connected to the liquid storage tank 1 and covers the opening 101.

[0051] The bubble blocking structure 5 includes a partition wall 51 connected to the lower surface of the bubble blocking structure 5. The projection area of ​​the partition wall 51 vertically projected onto the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 is located between the center of the through hole 102 and the detection module 3. Therefore, compared with the first embodiment ( Figure 3 ), the partition wall 51 is closer to the detection module 3. In an optional embodiment, the lower edge of the partition wall 51 has a protruding portion 511, which extends into the through hole 102 and abuts against the inner edge of the through hole 102.

[0052] Third embodiment

[0053] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a third embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M, which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 and adjacent to the through hole 102. The cover 4 is pivotally connected to the liquid storage tank 1 and covers the opening 101.

[0054] The bubble blocking structure 5 includes a partition wall 51, which is connected to the lower surface of the bubble blocking structure 5. A first fixed rib 521 is provided on one side of the partition wall 51, and two second fixed ribs 522 are provided on the other side. The two second fixed ribs 522 are respectively projected vertically to the bottom of the liquid storage tank to form two projected areas, and the through hole 102 is located between the two projected areas. The first fixed rib 521 and the two second fixed ribs 522 are used to strengthen the structural strength of the partition wall 51. The lower edge 510 of the partition wall 51 is lower than the detection module 3 and higher than the through hole 102. There is a gap between the lower edge 510 and the through hole 102, and the height of the gap can be selected from 0.2 mm to 10 mm. The projected area of ​​the partition wall 51 projected vertically to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 is located in the center of the through hole 102.

[0055] Fourth embodiment

[0056] See Figures 8 to 10A fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M, which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 and adjacent to the through hole 102. The cover 4 has a through hole 40, is pivotally connected to the liquid storage tank 1, and covers the opening 101.

[0057] The bubble blocking structure 5 also includes a straight tube 53 having a first port 531 and a second port 532. The straight tube 53 is connected to the lower surface of the cover 4 via the first port 531. The first port 531 communicates with the through-hole 40, while the second port 532 extends into the through-hole 102. It should be noted that the diameter of the second port 532 is smaller than that of the through-hole 102. Therefore, when the second port 532 extends into the through-hole 102, a gap remains between the straight tube 53 and the through-hole 102 without blocking the through-hole 102, allowing the liquid medicine stored in the liquid reservoir 1 to flow into the through-hole 102 and be atomized by the atomization module 2.

[0058] In one optional embodiment, the through-tube 53 is funnel-shaped, with its diameter gradually decreasing from the first port 531 to the second port 532. This allows bubbles generated during the atomization process of the liquid medicine to be collected by the through-tube 53. These bubbles are adsorbed on the surface of the through-tube 53 and then move upward along the surface to be collected within the through-tube 53. In other words, after being collected by the through-tube 53, these bubbles are isolated and will not cover or remain in the detection area of ​​the detection module 3, thereby preventing bubbles from covering or remaining in the detection area and affecting the detection results of the detection module 3.

[0059] Fifth embodiment

[0060] See Figures 11 to 13 The fifth embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M, which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 and adjacent to the through hole 102. The cover 4 has a circular through hole 40, is pivotally connected to the liquid storage tank 1, and covers the opening 101.

[0061] The bubble barrier structure 5 includes a partition wall 51 and a straight pipe 53. The straight pipe 53 is connected to the side of the partition wall 51 facing away from the detection module 3. The partition wall 51 is connected to the bottom surface of the bubble barrier structure 5. The vertical projection of the partition wall 51 onto the bottom of the liquid reservoir 1 is located in the center of the through hole 102. The straight pipe 53 has a first port 531 and a second port 532. The first port 531 is connected to the cover 4 and communicates with the through hole 40. The second port 532 extends above the through hole 102.

[0062] The straight pipe 53 is cylindrical, and the diameters of the first port 531 and the second port 532 are substantially the same. Since the straight pipe 53 is connected to one side of the partition wall 51, the second port 532 is not completely opposite the through hole 102. In other words, the vertical projection area of ​​the straight pipe 53 to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 only partially overlaps with the through hole 102. Figure 13 As shown, there is a gap between the bottom of the straight pipe member 53 and the through hole 102 .

[0063] Thereby, the bubbles generated by the liquid medicine during the atomization process can not only be collected inside the straight-through pipe 53, but can also be further blocked by the partition wall 51 to avoid the bubbles covering or remaining on the detection area and affecting the detection results of the detection module 3.

[0064] Sixth embodiment

[0065] See Figures 14 to 16 The sixth embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M, which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 and adjacent to the through hole 102. The cover 4 has a flat through hole 40, and the cover 4 is pivotally connected to the liquid storage tank 1 and covers the opening 101.

[0066] The bubble barrier structure 5 includes a partition wall 51 and an annular wall 54. The partition wall 51 is connected to the bottom surface of the bubble barrier structure 5. The annular wall 54 is connected to the side of the partition wall 51 facing away from the detection module 3. Together, the annular wall 54 and the partition wall 51 form a straight pipe. The straight pipe connects to the through hole 40. Due to the shape of the annular wall 54, the straight pipe has a flat cylindrical shape. A notch 512 is formed at the bottom edge of the partition wall 51.

[0067] The projected area of ​​the partition wall 51 perpendicularly projected onto the bottom of the liquid reservoir 1 is located at the center of the through-hole 102. Furthermore, a gap exists between the bottom notch 512 of the partition wall 51 and the through-hole 102, allowing the liquid medicine stored in the liquid reservoir 1 to flow in. Because the annular wall 54 is connected to one side of the partition wall 51, the projected area of ​​the resulting straight-through pipe piece perpendicularly projected onto the bottom of the liquid reservoir 1 only partially overlaps with the through-hole 102. This allows bubbles generated during the atomization process of the liquid medicine to not only be collected within the straight-through pipe piece but also to be further blocked by the partition wall 51, preventing bubbles from covering or remaining in the detection area and affecting the detection results of the detection module 3.

[0068] Seventh embodiment

[0069] See Figure 17 and Figure 18 The seventh embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M, which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 and adjacent to the through hole 102. The cover 4 is pivotally connected to the liquid storage tank 1 and covers the opening 101.

[0070] The bubble-blocking structure 5 comprises a partition wall 51, an annular wall 54, and a retaining structure 55. The annular wall 54 is connected to the side of the partition wall 51 facing away from the detection module 3. Together, the annular wall 54 and the partition wall 51 form a straight pipe. The shape of the annular wall 54 gives the straight pipe a flat, cylindrical shape. A notch 512 is formed at the lower edge of the partition wall 51. A gap exists between the notch 512 and the through-hole 102, allowing the flow of liquid medicine stored in the liquid reservoir 1. The retaining structure 55 is connected to the partition wall 51 and the annular wall 54.

[0071] The projected area of ​​partition wall 51 perpendicularly projected onto the bottom of liquid reservoir 1 is located in the center of through-hole 102. Therefore, the projected area of ​​the straight-through pipe formed by partition wall 51 and annular wall 54 perpendicularly projected onto the bottom of liquid reservoir 1 only partially overlaps with through-hole 102. Due to the structural design of partition wall 51 and annular wall 54, bubbles generated during the atomization process of the liquid medicine are not only collected within the straight-through pipe but are also further blocked by partition wall 51, thereby preventing bubbles from covering or remaining in the detection area and affecting the detection results of detection module 3.

[0072] Specifically, the retaining structure 55 includes a plurality of protruding members 551, a plurality of connecting members 552, and an annular member 553. The annular member 553 surrounds the outer sides of the partition wall 51 and the annular wall 54, with both ends of the partition wall 51 connected to the annular member 553. Some of the connecting members 552 are connected between the partition wall 51 and the annular member 553, while others are connected between the annular wall 54 and the annular member 553. The plurality of protruding members 551 are connected to the annular member 553 and are evenly distributed around the straight-through pipe. The design of the retaining structure 55 can enhance the structural strength of the bubble barrier structure 5.

[0073] In the seventh embodiment, the bubble blocking structure 5 is a detachable independent component. That is, the bubble blocking structure 5 can be assembled in the liquid storage tank 1 and can also be disassembled from the liquid storage tank 1 (see Figure 18 When the bubble blocking structure 5 is assembled in the liquid storage tank 1 , the plurality of protruding members 551 abut against the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 1 and are fixed in the liquid storage tank 1 .

[0074] Eighth embodiment

[0075] See Figures 19 to 21 The eighth embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M, which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 and adjacent to the through hole 102. The cover 4 is pivotally connected to the liquid storage tank 1 and covers the opening 101.

[0076] The bubble blocking structure 5 includes a partition wall 51, an annular wall 54, and two first fixing members 56. The annular wall 54 is connected to the side of the partition wall 51 facing away from the detection module 3. The annular wall 54 and the partition wall 51 together form a flat cylindrical straight-through pipe. The two first fixing members 56 are connected to both ends of the partition wall 51. There are two second fixing members 12 in the liquid storage tank 1. Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, for example, the two first fixing members 56 can be protruding columns, while the two second fixing members 12 can be recessed holes. Thus, the bubble barrier structure 5 can be secured within the liquid reservoir 1 by the two first fixing members 56 being respectively engaged with the two second fixing members 12 (i.e., the two protruding columns are respectively engaged with the two recessed holes). A notch 512 is formed at the lower edge of the partition wall 51. A gap exists between the notch 512 and the through hole 102, allowing the medical solution stored in the liquid reservoir 1 to flow into the through hole 102.

[0077] In other words, the bubble blocking structure 5 is a detachable, independent component. That is, the bubble blocking structure 5 can be assembled within the liquid reservoir 1 and removed from the liquid reservoir 1 for easy cleaning. When the bubble blocking structure 5 is assembled within the liquid reservoir 1, bubbles generated during the atomization process of the liquid medicine are not only collected within the straight-through pipe, but are also further blocked by the partition wall 51, preventing bubbles from covering or remaining in the detection area and affecting the detection results of the detection module 3.

[0078] Ninth embodiment

[0079] See Figures 22 to 24 The ninth embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M, which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 and adjacent to the through hole 102. The cover has a through hole 40, and the cover 4 is pivotally connected to the liquid storage tank 1 and covers the opening 101.

[0080] The bubble blocking structure also includes a straight pipe 53 and a perforated mesh 57. The straight pipe 53 includes a plurality of connecting arms 533, and a gap G is provided between two adjacent connecting arms 533. The straight pipe 53 is connected to the cover body 4 and is connected to the through hole 40. The perforated mesh 57 is inserted into a plurality of fixing posts (not shown) of the plurality of connecting arms 533 and fixed to the straight pipe 53. When the cover body 4 is closed, the perforated mesh 57 can be appropriately located above the through hole 102. The perforated mesh 57 has a plurality of mesh holes 570. Therefore, the liquid medicine stored in the liquid storage tank 1 can flow into the through hole 102 through the plurality of gaps G and the plurality of mesh holes 570 to be atomized by the atomization module 2.

[0081] Bubbles generated during the atomization process of the liquid medicine are adsorbed on the surfaces of the plurality of meshes 570 and the surfaces of the plurality of connecting arms 533, and are collected within the straight-through tube 53 by moving upward along the plurality of connecting arms 533. As a result, these bubbles are isolated by the straight-through tube 53 and do not cover or remain in the detection area of ​​the detection module 3, thereby preventing bubbles from covering or remaining in the detection area and affecting the detection results of the detection module 3.

[0082] Tenth embodiment

[0083] See Figure 25 and Figure 26 The tenth embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M, which includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The top of the liquid storage tank 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102. The detection module 3 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 and adjacent to the through hole 102. The cover 4 is pivotally connected to the liquid storage tank 1 and covers the opening 101.

[0084] The bubble barrier structure 5 includes a plurality of annular members 58, a first retaining member 591, a second retaining member 592, and a third retaining member 593. The annular members 58 collectively form a concentric circular structure. The first retaining member 591 is connected to the annular members 58 and extends between the annular members 58. One end of the annular members 58 is connected to the second retaining member 592, and the other end of the annular members 58 is connected to the third retaining member 593.

Therefore, the bubble blocking structure 5 can be installed in the liquid reservoir 1 as the cover 4 covers the liquid reservoir 1. When the bubble blocking structure 5 is installed in the liquid reservoir 1, the multiple annular members 58 surround the through hole 102. At this time, the through hole 102 is located at the center of the concentric circle structure, and the detection module 3 is located between the second retaining member 592 and the third retaining member 593.

[0091] Twelfth embodiment

[0092] See Figure 28 The twelfth embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M. The liquid storage device M of the twelfth embodiment of the present invention has similar structures of its liquid storage tank 1, atomization module 2, detection module 3 and cover 4 as those of the first embodiment, so it can be used in conjunction with Figure 2 The liquid storage device M includes a liquid reservoir 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble barrier 5. The top of the liquid reservoir 1 has an opening 101, and the bottom of the liquid reservoir 1 has a through hole 102. The atomization module 2 is disposed in the through hole 102.

[0093] The bubble blocking structure 5 includes a straight pipe 53, a first retaining member 591, a second retaining member 592, and a third retaining member 593. The straight pipe 53 is a cylindrical pipe located directly above and in communication with the through hole 102.

The first retaining member 591, the second retaining member 592, and the third retaining member 593 are connected to the bottom of the cover 4. Therefore, the bubble blocking structure 5 can be installed in the liquid reservoir 1 when the cover 4 is closed over the liquid reservoir 1.

[0094] Thirteenth embodiment

[0095] See Figure 29The thirteenth embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device M. The liquid storage device M of the twelfth embodiment of the present invention has similar structures of its liquid storage tank 1, atomization module 2, detection module 3 and cover 4 as the first embodiment, so it can be used in conjunction with Figure 2 The liquid storage device M includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization module 2, a detection module 3, a cover 4, and a bubble blocking structure 5. The bubble blocking structure 5 includes a straight pipe 53, a first retaining member 591, a second retaining member 592, and a third retaining member 593. The straight pipe 53 is located directly above the through hole 102. The first retaining member 591, the second retaining member 592, and the third retaining member 593 are connected to the straight pipe 53.

[0096] Furthermore, the first retaining member 591, the second retaining member 592 and the third retaining member 593 can each form a hook 594 at one end away from the straight pipe member 53. Figure 29 As shown, the bubble blocking structure 5 can be disposed in the liquid storage tank 1 by being fastened to the edge of the opening 101 via the hook 594 .

[0097] It should also be noted that the liquid storage device M of the thirteenth embodiment differs from the twelfth embodiment only in the first retaining member 591, the second retaining member 592, and the third retaining member 593. In the twelfth embodiment, the first retaining member 591, the second retaining member 592, and the third retaining member 593 are connected to the lower surface of the cover 4; in the thirteenth embodiment, the first retaining member 591, the second retaining member 592, and the third retaining member 593 are fastened to the edge of the opening 101 via hooks 594.

[0098] Thus, bubbles generated during the atomization process of the liquid medicine are collected by the straight-through pipe 53. These bubbles are adsorbed on the surface of the straight-through pipe 53 and move upward along the surface of the straight-through pipe 53 to be collected inside the straight-through pipe 53. In other words, these bubbles are isolated by the straight-through pipe 53 and do not cover or remain in the detection area of ​​the detection module 3, thereby preventing bubbles covering or remaining in the detection area from affecting the detection results of the detection module 3.

[0099] Advantageous Effects of the Embodiments

[0100] The liquid storage device D provided by the present invention can utilize a bubble-blocking structure 5 within the liquid storage tank 1, which utilizes its surface properties to adhere to or attract bubbles, or utilizes its structural design to block bubbles. Consequently, when bubbles are generated during the atomization process of the liquid medicine, the bubble-blocking structure 5 collects these bubbles, isolating them from covering or remaining in the detection area of ​​the detection module 3. This prevents bubbles from covering or remaining in the detection area and affecting the detection results of the detection module 3.
