Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a medicine adjusting device and an atomizer, in particular to a medicine adjusting device and an atomizer capable of controlling the dosage of the medicine. Background Art
[0002] Medical nebulizers are mainly used to administer drugs through the respiratory system. The user pours a certain dose of liquid medicine into the liquid reservoir inside the nebulizer, and the nebulizer atomizes the liquid medicine into tiny particles with a specific particle size, and delivers it through the user's mouth and nose, so that it enters the user's respiratory system through breathing and achieves the purpose of treatment through the circulatory system.
[0003] The liquid reservoir inside the existing nebulizer can hold a fixed volume of liquid medicine, so the nebulizer cannot control the specific liquid medicine dose to be atomized through the liquid reservoir. Furthermore, during the drug packaging process, the liquid medicine in the drug packaging is a fixed dose. When the user pours the liquid medicine in the drug packaging into the nebulizer, the dose of the liquid medicine in the drug packaging may not be equal to the dose required by the user (for example, the dose of the liquid medicine in the drug packaging is 10 ml, but the therapeutic dose required by the user is only 5 ml). Therefore, in this case, it will be difficult for the user to adjust the dose of the liquid medicine poured into the nebulizer by himself.
[0004] On the other hand, during the treatment with a nebulizer, the activated nebulizer will continuously nebulize until the liquid medicine in the reservoir is exhausted. If the liquid medicine dosage required by the user for treatment is lower than the liquid medicine dosage in the drug package, it is difficult for the user to assess when to manually turn off the nebulizer, which may result in inhalation of excessive liquid medicine, thus affecting the treatment effect.

[0033] It should be understood that, although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are mainly used to distinguish one element from another element. In addition, the term "or" used herein may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items depending on the actual situation.
[0034] First embodiment
[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a drug adjustment device B that can be used in a nebulizer, which includes a liquid reservoir 1, a drug adjustment member 2 and a cover 3. The liquid reservoir 1 includes a first opening 11 and a second opening 12. The drug adjustment member 2 is detachably arranged inside the liquid reservoir 1, and the cover 3 is arranged on the liquid reservoir 1 and covers the first opening 11 of the liquid reservoir 1.
[0036] See also Figures 2 to 4As shown, in detail, the liquid reservoir 1 has an accommodating chamber C1 inside, and the first opening 11 is connected to the second opening 12 through the accommodating chamber C1. The drug regulating member 2 is disposed in the accommodating chamber C1. The drug regulating member 2 includes a third opening 21 and an adjusting port 22, the third opening 21 is connected to the adjusting port 22, and the adjusting port 22 is connected to the second opening 12 of the liquid reservoir 1. When the drug regulating member 2 is disposed inside the liquid reservoir 1, the third opening 21 of the drug regulating member 2 and the first opening 11 of the liquid reservoir 1 overlap with each other, so the cover body 3 is disposed on the liquid reservoir 1 and covers the first opening 11 while also covering the third opening 21. In addition, the drug regulating member 2 has an adjusting chamber C2 inside.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in the first embodiment, the regulating port 22 is a cylindrical tube port having a first port 221 and a second port 222. The first port 221 passes through the bottom of the drug regulating member 2, and the second port 222 extends toward the third opening 21, so that the regulating port 22 has a height relative to the bottom of the drug regulating member 2. In addition, the opening direction of the regulating port 22 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the second opening 12. Further, the regulating chamber C2 is formed between the tube wall R1 of the regulating port 22 and the outer peripheral wall R2 of the drug regulating member 2.
[0038] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drug regulating member 2 also includes a first outer ring portion 23 and a second outer ring portion 24, the first outer ring portion 23 is arranged around the outer edge of the third opening 21, and the second outer ring portion 24 is located below the first outer ring portion 23 and extends radially outwardly along the regulating port 22 to partially cover the area of the accommodating cavity C1. The second outer ring portion 24 is arranged around the outer edge of the regulating port 22. The first outer ring portion 23 has a first limiting convex portion 231. The second outer ring portion 24 has a second limiting convex portion 241. The inner wall of the liquid reservoir 1 includes a limiting groove 13. The contour shapes of the first limiting convex portion 231 and the second limiting convex portion 241 correspond to the contour shape of the limiting groove 13. When the drug regulating member 2 is arranged in the accommodating cavity C1 of the liquid reservoir 1, the first limiting convex portion 231 and the second limiting convex portion 241 are correspondingly clamped in the limiting groove 13, so that the drug regulating member 2 can be arranged inside the liquid reservoir 1 in a fixed orientation.
[0039] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the drug adjustment device B also includes a sealing member 4, which is disposed on the outer side of the second outer ring portion 24. When the drug adjustment member 2 is disposed in the accommodating chamber C1, the sealing member 4 is clamped between the second outer ring portion 24 and the inner wall of the liquid reservoir 1. For example, the sealing member 4 can be an elastic sealing ring (O-ring). Alternatively, in other embodiments, the sealing member 4 can also be a convex rib formed integrally with the second outer ring portion 24.
[0040] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, the cover body 3 also includes an annular stop wall 31. When the cover body 3 is set on the liquid reservoir 1, the stop wall 31 will abut against the edge of the tube wall of the regulating port 22 to close the second port 222. Since the volume of the regulating chamber C2 of the drug regulating member 2 of the liquid reservoir 1 can be determined at the beginning of the design, the designer can first estimate the amount of excess liquid medicine in the drug package based on the liquid medicine dosage of the drug package and the liquid medicine dosage required by the user, and accordingly design the volume of the regulating chamber C2 to be equal to the volume of the excess liquid medicine.
[0041] By this, Figure 5 As shown, the amount of liquid medicine M1 in the accommodating cavity C1 and the regulating port 22 is the expected amount of liquid medicine to be used (i.e., the amount of liquid medicine required by the user), and the amount of liquid medicine M2 in the regulating chamber C2 is the desired amount of liquid medicine to be left (i.e., equal to the excess amount of medicine). When the user pours the liquid medicine in the drug package into the reservoir 1 with the drug regulating member 2 already placed inside, the liquid medicine enters from the third opening 21 and flows into the accommodating cavity C1 through the regulating port 22, and fills the space of the accommodating cavity C1 and the regulating port 22. Furthermore, when the amount of liquid medicine is too much, the excess amount will overflow the regulating port 22 and flow into the regulating chamber C2. Next, the cover body 3 is closed over the third opening 21, so that the stop wall 31 abuts against the edge of the tube wall of the regulating port 22, blocking the regulating port 22 and the regulating chamber C2, so as to prevent the excess liquid medicine in the regulating chamber C2 from seeping into the accommodating chamber C1, or the intended liquid medicine in the accommodating chamber C1 from seeping into the regulating chamber C2 when the atomizer is shaken or tipped. In addition, the setting of the sealing member 4 can further prevent the liquid medicine in the accommodating chamber C1 from leaking out from the boundary of the second outer ring portion 24.
[0042] Also, see Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As shown, the present invention further provides a nebulizer E, which includes a drug adjustment device B, and a nozzle kit B1, a body B2 and an atomization module B3 arranged on the drug adjustment device B. Specifically, the nozzle kit B1 is arranged at the second opening 12 of the liquid reservoir 1, and the liquid reservoir 1 is arranged on the body B2. The atomization module B3 is arranged inside the liquid reservoir 1, at the connection between the second opening 12 and the accommodating chamber C1. Therefore, the intended use of the drug liquid in the accommodating chamber C1 can be atomized by the atomization module B3 to generate a drug liquid aerosol, which then enters the respiratory system in the user's body through the user's mouth and nose to achieve the purpose of treatment.
[0043] Second embodiment
[0044] See also Figures 6 to 8As shown, the second embodiment of the present invention provides a drug adjustment device B' that can be used in an atomizer E. The structure of the drug adjustment device B' of the second embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment, and the similarities such as the structure of the liquid reservoir 1 and the cover body 3 are not repeated here. The difference between the drug adjustment device B' of the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the structure of the drug adjustment member 2 is different.
[0045] Specifically, in the second embodiment, the drug regulating member 2 includes a third opening 21 and a regulating port 22, and the drug regulating member 2 has a regulating chamber C2 inside, the third opening 21 is connected to the regulating port 22, and the regulating port 22 is connected to the second opening 12. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the drug regulating member 2 is funnel-shaped, and the drug regulating member 2 further includes a side wall 25 and a bottom wall 26. The side wall 25 has a first side 251 and a second side 252 opposite to each other. The regulating port 22 is formed on the first side 251, and the position of the regulating port 22 is opposite to the position of the second opening 12, that is, the opening direction of the regulating port 22 is parallel to the opening direction of the second opening 12. The bottom wall 26 is inclined downward from the first side 251 toward the second side 252, and together with the side wall 25, forms a regulating chamber C2.
[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, the drug regulating member 2 also includes a support portion 27, which is arranged around the outer edge of the third opening 21. The drug regulating member 2 is detachably arranged at the first opening 11 and is located in the accommodating cavity C1. Further, the support portion 27 is clamped at the edge of the first opening 11 and seals the first opening 11. The support portion 27 has a limiting protrusion 271, and the position of the limiting protrusion 271 is opposite to the position of the regulating port 22. The inner wall of the liquid reservoir 1 includes a limiting groove 13 (see Figure 3 ), the contour shape of the limiting protrusion 271 corresponds to the contour shape of the limiting groove 13. When the drug regulating member 2 is disposed in the accommodating cavity C1 of the liquid reservoir 1, the limiting protrusion 271 is disposed in the limiting groove 13, so that the drug regulating member 2 can be disposed inside the liquid reservoir 1 in a fixed orientation.
[0047] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, when the cover 3 is set on the liquid reservoir 1, the stop wall 31 of the cover 3 abuts against the bottom of the liquid reservoir 1. Specifically, the stop wall 31 abuts against the upper edge of the side wall 25 of the liquid reservoir 1 to block the regulating port 22 and the regulating chamber C2. When the user pours the liquid medicine in the medicine package into the liquid reservoir 1 with the medicine regulating member 2 placed inside, the liquid medicine ( Figure 8The liquid medicine (not shown) enters from the third opening 21, flows into the accommodating chamber C1 through the regulating port 22, and fills the space in the accommodating chamber C1. At this time, the portion exceeding the dose to be adjusted by the drug adjusting member 2 will overflow the regulating port 22 and flow back into the regulating chamber C2. Next, the cover body 3 covers the third opening 21, so that the stop wall 31 abuts against the side wall 25 and blocks between the regulating port 22 and the regulating chamber C2, so as to prevent the excess liquid medicine in the regulating chamber C2 from seeping into the accommodating chamber C1, or the intended use liquid medicine in the accommodating chamber C1 from seeping into the regulating chamber C2 when the nebulizer is shaken or tipped over.
[0048] Advantageous Effects of Embodiments
[0049] The drug adjustment device B and the nebulizer E provided by the present invention can be provided with a drug adjustment member 2 inside the liquid reservoir 1 of the nebulizer E, and the excess drug liquid dosage in the drug package can be accommodated through the adjustment chamber C2 in the drug adjustment member 2, thereby ensuring that the drug liquid dosage flowing into the liquid reservoir 1 is the drug liquid dosage required by the user. In addition, the drug adjustment device B provided by the present invention can also be blocked between the adjustment port 22 and the adjustment chamber C2 by a stop wall 31, so as to prevent the excess drug liquid in the adjustment chamber C2 from infiltrating into the accommodating chamber C1, or the intended use drug liquid in the accommodating chamber C1 from infiltrating into the adjustment chamber C2 when the nebulizer is shaken or tipped over.
[0050] Furthermore, since the drug adjusting member 2 and the liquid reservoir 1 are detachable components, the drug adjusting device B of the present invention can select a suitable drug adjusting member 2 (e.g., Figure 5 or Figure 8 The drug adjusting member 2 in the atomizer can be used to accurately control the dosage of the drug solution to avoid overdose. Furthermore, when the user changes the required drug solution dosage, he only needs to replace the drug adjusting member 2. Therefore, the structure of the atomizer E does not need to be significantly modified due to different drug solution dosages, and can meet the needs of drug packaging of various sizes.
