[0003] However, the existing breathing training device has some shortcomings, mainly including the following aspects:
[0004] The connection is not firm and it is not easy to replace: The spherical airbag in the traditional device is usually connected to the cylinder body by adhesive or other fixing methods. This connection method is often not firm enough and is prone to leakage during use, affecting the training effect. In addition, once the spherical airbag is damaged, it is also troublesome to replace it.

[0101] Professional athletes: require customized training plans to adapt to high-intensity training needs.
[0102] Seniors: Lower resistance is needed to ensure safe training.
[0103] In the embodiment, various lengths of splicing pipes can be provided:
[0104] Several standard lengths of splicing pipes are provided according to different needs, such as short, medium and long specifications.
[0105] See also Figure 2 The left end of the splicing tube 3 and the left end of the air nozzle 2 are both fixed with a second rubber ring 6, the right end of the splicing tube 3 and the head end of the cylinder body 1 are both provided with a circle of second annular groove 7, the second rubber ring 6 is inserted into the second annular groove 7 and is interference fit with the second annular groove 7, the outer sides of the left and right ends of the splicing tube 3, the outer side of the left end of the air nozzle 2 and the outer side of the head end of the cylinder body 1 are all fixed with a second magnetic ring 8, the second magnetic ring 8 is located on the outer sides of the second rubber ring 6 and the second annular groove 7, and the second magnetic rings 8 are attracted to each other, and the setting of the splicing tube 3 can increase the length of the cylinder body 1 according to the needs of the user.

When disassembling, the splicing tube 3 can be pulled open with force. In this way, the replacement of the splicing tube 3 also adopts the dual stability of interference fit and magnetic connection. In this way, the splicing tube 3 can be increased or decreased according to needs, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the length of the breathing training device.
[0106] See also Figure 3The flow regulating mechanism 4 includes a valve body 41, a valve plate 42, a top box 43, a vertical shaft 44, a worm gear 45, a horizontal shaft 46, and a worm 47. The valve body 41 and the cylinder body 1 are an integral structure. The valve plate 42 is rotatably connected to the inside of the valve body 41. The top box 43 is fixed to the upper end of the valve body 41. The vertical shaft 44 is rotatably connected to the inside of the top box 43. The lower part of the vertical shaft 44 penetrates into the inside of the valve body 41. The lower part of the vertical shaft 44 is fixed to the valve plate 42.

[0108] In the embodiment, all parts that directly contact the human body (such as the air nozzle 2, the spherical airbag 5, the upper connecting nozzle 51, the lower connecting nozzle 11, the second rubber ring 6, etc.) should be made of medical grade silicone or medical grade plastic. These materials are non-toxic, odorless, and will not cause skin allergic reactions.
[0109] For components that do not directly contact the human body (such as the cylinder 1, the valve body 41 in the flow regulating mechanism 4, the top box 43, etc.), durable engineering plastics (such as ABS or PC) or metal materials (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy) can be selected to ensure the structural strength and service life of the device.
[0110] The first magnetic ring 9 and the second magnetic ring 8 should be made of neodymium iron boron magnets with sufficient magnetic force and not easy to demagnetize. These magnets should be encapsulated in a plastic shell to prevent oxidation and corrosion.
[0111] All rubber sealing rings (such as the first rubber ring 12 and the second rubber ring 6) should be made of medical-grade rubber materials that are resistant to aging and wear to ensure sealing after long-term use.
[0112] The entire product should comply with relevant medical device safety standards, such as ISO10993 biocompatibility testing standards, ISO13485 quality management system standards, etc.
[0113] The present application also provides a method for using a breathing training device, the method comprising the following steps:
[0114] Preparation
[0115] The spherical airbag 5 is mounted on the cylinder body 1 , ensuring that the first rubber ring 12 is inserted into the first annular groove 52 and achieves interference fit, while the first magnetic rings 9 are attracted to each other.
[0116] Choose whether to install the splicing pipe 3 as needed. If the length of the cylinder body 1 needs to be increased, align the second rubber ring 6 of the splicing pipe 3 with the second annular groove 7 of the cylinder body 1 to achieve interference fit, and ensure that the second magnetic rings 8 attract each other.
[0117] Flow regulation stage
[0118] The position of the valve plate 42 in the flow regulating mechanism 4 is adjusted to change the air flow through the valve body 41. The flow regulation can be achieved by rotating the knob on the top box 43, thereby driving the valve plate 42 to rotate.
[0119] The position of the pointing rod 49 on the rotating disk 48 is observed to determine the specific rotation angle of the valve plate 42 .
[0120] Training phase
[0121] The patient exhales and inhales through the air nozzle 2, and the exhaled air enters the spherical airbag 5 through the cylinder body 1 to expand it; when inhaling, the air in the spherical airbag 5 returns to the cylinder body 1, so that the spherical airbag 5 returns to its original state.
[0122] Adjust your breathing rhythm and depth according to training needs and your personal physical condition.
[0123] Monitoring and adjustment phase
[0124] Numerical simulation methods are used to predict the changes in the spherical airbag under different flow settings.
[0125] Set the initial conditions: initial spherical airbag radius R0, flow rate Q, and time step Δt.
[0126] The change of the radius of the spherical airbag with time is iteratively calculated using a numerical integration method (such as Euler's method).
[0127] Analyze the results and adjust the position of the valve sheet according to the changes in the spherical airbag to achieve the expected training effect.
[0128] The position of the valve plate 42 in the flow regulating mechanism 4 is adjusted according to the simulation results to optimize the training effect.
[0129] Ending Phase
[0130] After the training is completed, the splicing tube 3 and the spherical airbag 5 are disassembled as needed for cleaning and maintenance.
[0131] If the spherical airbag 5 needs to be replaced, just repeat the steps in the preparation stage.
[0132] Among them, the monitoring and adjustment stage uses a computer to predict the changes of the spherical airbag under different flow settings. The main purpose of "predicting the changes of the spherical airbag under different flow settings" is to achieve more accurate and personalized breathing training. Specifically, the goal of "predicting the changes of the spherical airbag under different flow settings" is summarized as follows: Personalized training: By adjusting the flow rate, it can adapt to the breathing ability and training needs of different users. Different users may require different training intensities, such as children, adults, patients in the early or late stages of rehabilitation, etc.
[0133] Training effect evaluation: By predicting the changes in the spherical airbag, the effect of training under different flow settings can be evaluated. This helps doctors or therapists adjust training plans based on patient feedback and progress.
[0134] User Guidance: Provides an intuitive way for users to understand how to adjust the flow rate to achieve the ideal training intensity. For example, users can judge whether the flow rate setting needs to be adjusted based on the changes in the spherical airbag.
[0135] Equipment Optimization: Predicting the changes in the spherical airbag through mathematical models can help designers optimize the performance of the equipment. For example, the best valve position and flow setting can be determined to ensure that the training is both safe and effective.
[0136] Education and Training: Provide users with educational information about the principles of breathing training to help them understand how to use the equipment effectively. Doctors or therapists can also use this information to train patients on how to use the equipment correctly.
[0137] Product Verification: During the product development stage, the design of the device can be verified to be reasonable by simulating the changes in the spherical airbag under different flow settings. This helps to ensure that the device can work properly under various flow settings.
[0138] Safety assessment: By simulating the changes in the spherical airbag under different flow settings, the performance of the device under extreme conditions can be evaluated to ensure its safety. For example, it can be checked whether the spherical airbag will rupture under high flow settings.
[0139] Predict the changes of spherical airbag under different flow settings, including the following steps:
[0140] Step 1: Establish the relationship between flow rate and valve position
[0141] First, it is necessary to determine the relationship between the position of the valve plate 42 and the flow rate through the valve body 41. The position of the valve plate can be represented by a rotation angle θ, and the flow rate Q can be approximately represented by the following formula:
[0142]
[0143] in:
[0144] Q is the flow rate through the valve body;
[0145] k is a coefficient that depends on the flow channel shape factor;
[0146] A is the effective area of the valve opening;
[0147] ΔP is the pressure difference on both sides of the valve body;
[0148] ρ is the gas density.
[0149] The effective area A of the valve opening can be calculated based on the rotation angle θ of the valve. Assuming that the inner diameter of the valve body is D, the effective area A can be expressed as:
[0150]
[0151] Step 2: Establish the relationship between flow rate and spherical balloon volume change
[0152] Next, it is necessary to establish the relationship between the flow rate Q and the volume change of the spherical airbag 5. The volume V of the spherical airbag can be expressed by the following formula:
[0153]
[0154] in:
[0155] V is the volume of the spherical airbag;
[0156] R is the radius of the spherical balloon.
[0157] The rate of change of the radius R of the spherical airbag with time t can be expressed as:
[0158]
[0159] This is a nonlinear differential equation, which can be solved numerically to obtain the change of the spherical airbag radius over time.
[0160] Based on this, the rate of change of the spherical airbag volume over time can be derived:
[0161] Since the relationship between the volume (V) and radius (R) of a spherical airbag is:
[0162]
[0163] Taking the derivative with respect to time (t), we get the volume change rate
[0164]
[0165] Will Substituting the expression into the above formula, we get the volume change rate:
[0166]
[0167] This means that the rate of change of the spherical airbag volume over time is proportional to the flow rate (Q) through the valve body.
[0168] Step 3: Numerical simulation
[0169] In order to solve the above differential equation, numerical integration methods such as Euler's method or Runge-Kutta method can be used. Assuming the initial condition is R(0) = R0 (initial radius), the simulation can be performed as follows:
[0170] 1. Initialization parameters:
[0171] Set the time step Δt;
[0172] Set the initial state R(0)=R0;
[0173] Set the flow rate Q, which depends on the position θ of the valve plate.
[0174] 2. Iterative update:
[0175] For each time step Δt, a new radius R(t+Δt) is calculated using a numerical method.
[0176] Step 4: Calculation process
[0177] 1. Set initial conditions:
[0178] Set the initial valve position θ;
[0179] Set the radius R0 of the initial spherical airbag.
[0180] 2. Calculate flow:
[0181] Calculate the effective area A according to the valve plate position θ;
[0182] Calculate the flow rate Q using the given parameters.
[0183] 3.Simulate the expansion process of a spherical airbag:
[0184] A numerical method (such as Euler method) is used to iteratively calculate the change of the radius R of the spherical airbag with time;
[0185] The radius R of the spherical balloon is recorded after each time step.
[0186] 4. Analysis results:
[0187] Analyze the changes of spherical airbag under different flow settings;
[0188] Adjust the position of the valve plate according to the results to achieve the desired training effect.

[0215] This code simulates the inflation of a spherical balloon at a given flow rate Q. You can adjust these values based on your actual parameters to get more accurate results.
[0216] Through this mathematical model, doctors or patients can adjust the position of the valve as needed to achieve specific training effects, such as adjusting the degree of expansion of the spherical airbag to achieve more precise breathing training.
[0217] The following is a specific embodiment. Based on the above mathematical model, a specific example is constructed to show how to use a breathing training device for breathing training. A specific flow setting will be considered, and the Euler method will be used to simulate the expansion process of a spherical airbag.

[0255] Results Analysis
[0256] By running the above code, we can get the change of the radius of the spherical airbag over time. It can be observed that as time goes by, the radius of the spherical airbag gradually increases, which reflects the expansion process of the spherical airbag.
[0257] Analysis and Conclusion
[0258] Based on the simulation results, you can see how the radius of the spherical airbag changes over time. For different flow settings, the expansion speed of the spherical airbag will also be different. If you want a faster or slower expansion speed, you can change the flow rate (Q) by adjusting the position of the valve.
[0259] For example, if you want the spherical airbag to expand more slowly during training, you can reduce the flow rate (Q), which can be achieved by adjusting the position of the valve plate. Conversely, if you want the spherical airbag to expand faster, you can increase the flow rate (Q).
[0260] In this way, doctors or patients can adjust the inflation speed of the spherical airbag according to training needs, thereby achieving more precise breathing training.
