[0029] When in use, the patient can fix the elastic waistband 1 on the waist and hold the upper end of the hose 6 with the mouth to breathe. When the patient breathes, the airflow moves through the hose 6, the moving tube 5, and the transverse tube 3. The flow sensor 4 measures the flow rate of the airflow, and the processing module 7 processes the data monitored by the flow sensor 4. When the gas flow rate monitored by the flow sensor 4 reaches four preset values, the processing module 7 starts four lamp beads 8 to light up according to the values ​​of the flow sensor 4, providing visual feedback for the patient, implementing an incentive mechanism, and allowing the patient to perform breathing training. The gas flow rate data of the patient's breathing will be stored through the storage module 11, and can be displayed through the display 9, and sent to the medical receiving end through the transmission module 10;

[0030] The adjusting mechanism 12 comprises a motor 201, the outer wall of the motor 201 is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the fixing frame 2, the output end of the motor 201 is fixedly connected to a gear 202, a gear ring 203 is arranged on the lower side of the gear 202, the left inner wall of the gear ring 203 is rotatably connected to the right side of the transverse tube 3 through a bearing, the upper side of the gear ring 203 is meshed with the lower side of the gear 202, a threaded barrel 204 is threadedly connected to the middle inner wall of the gear ring 203, four exhaust ports are provided on the front side of the threaded barrel 204, a recording mechanism 205 is arranged on the right side of the threaded barrel 204, a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the gear ring 203, the right inner wall of the transverse tube 3 is hexagonal, the outer wall of the threaded barrel 204 is a hexagonal prism structure, and the outer wall of the threaded barrel 204 is slidably connected to the right inner wall of the transverse tube 3, the edges and corners of the threaded barrel 204 are arc-shaped, and the outer wall of the threaded barrel 204 is provided with a threaded groove;

[0031] When the patient can maintain a good level for a long time during breathing training, the motor 201 can be started to rotate, so that the motor 201 drives the gear 202 to rotate. Since the lower side of the gear 202 is meshed with the outer wall of the gear ring 203, the gear 202 drives the gear ring 203 to rotate. Since the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 204 is threadedly connected with the inner wall of the gear ring 203, and the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 204 is restricted from rotating by the inner wall of the horizontal tube 3, when the gear ring 203 rotates, the threaded cylinder 204 will move toward the inside of the horizontal tube 3, so that the exhaust port exposed to the outside of the horizontal tube 3 is reduced, thereby increasing the patient's breathing resistance, allowing the patient to further perform breathing training, so that the training can be gradually deepened as the patient recovers;

[0032] The recording mechanism 205 includes a first time recorder 501 and a second time recorder 502. The lower sides of the first time recorder 501 and the second time recorder 502 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 204. A fixing ring 503 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the threaded cylinder 204. A cross bar 504 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixing ring 503. A movable conductive ring 506 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the cross bar 504. A conductive block 505 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the cross bar 504 and the left side of the outer wall of the cross bar 504. A circular hole is opened on the right side of the threaded cylinder 204. The diameter of the middle part of the circular hole is larger than the diameter of the two ends of the circular hole. The outer wall of the movable conductive ring 506 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the circular hole. The middle inner wall is in contact, the conductive block 505 on the left and the conductive block 505 on the right are electrically connected to the first time recorder 501 and the second time recorder 502 respectively, the recording mechanism 205 also includes a heating wire 507, the heating wire 507 is located inside the transverse tube 3, and the left end of the heating wire 507 is fixedly connected to the right side of the moving tube 5, the outer wall of the moving tube 5 is fixedly connected with the heating wire 507, the rear side of the heating wire 507 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the elastic waistband 1, the display 9 is electrically connected to the processing module 7, and the flow sensor 4, the motor 201, the first time recorder 501, and the second time recorder 502 are all electrically connected to the transmission module 10;

[0033] When in use, the movable conductive ring 506 is connected to a power source, and one electrode of the first time recorder 501 and the second time recorder 502 is also connected to a power source. During the patient's breathing process, negative pressure and positive pressure will be generated inside the transverse tube 3, the movable tube 5 and the threaded cylinder 204. When the patient exhales, positive pressure will be generated inside the threaded cylinder 204, which will push the movable conductive ring 506 to move to the right, so that the movable conductive ring 506 contacts the conductive block 505, so that the second time recorder 502 is powered on, so that the second time recorder 502 records the patient's exhalation time. When the patient inhales, negative pressure will be generated inside the threaded cylinder 204, so that the movable conductive ring 506 moves to the left, so that the outer wall of the movable conductive ring 506 contacts the conductive block 505 on the left, so that the first time recorder 501 is powered on to record the inhalation time.

[0034] And the two conductive blocks 505 are both connected to one side electrode of the heating wire 507, and the other electrode of the heating wire 507 is connected to the power supply. When the conductive block 505 contacts the movable conductive ring 506, the heating wire 507 can be started for heating, so that when the patient breathes, the heating wire 507 heats the airflow, thereby reducing the airflow stimulation during breathing training. When the patient breathes, the abdomen will expand and contract, causing the elastic waistband 1 to deform, causing the elastic waistband 1 to push the pull ring 508 to pull the movable tube 5 to move left and right on the left side of the transverse tube 3, thereby causing the movable tube 5 to drive the heating wire 507 to move left and right, thereby evenly heating the left side of the transverse tube 3, and evenly spreading the position where water vapor is easily retained at the connection between the left side of the transverse tube 3 and the movable tube 5, so that the water vapor can be better dried by the heating wire 507, avoiding moisture retention inside the transverse tube 3, and evaporating the water vapor to humidify the breathing airflow and reduce stimulation.
