Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a device for protecting and monitoring respiratory infections. Background Art

[0002] Respiratory infectious diseases refer to infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms or parasites that infect the human body through the respiratory tract, and may cause epidemics under certain conditions. When treating patients with respiratory diseases, nebulization inhalation therapy is an important and effective method. This method converts liquid medicine into tiny particles through a nebulizer inhaler, and the patient inhales the medicine through breathing, thereby achieving painless, rapid and effective treatment effects. However, corresponding measures are usually taken during nebulization to protect and reduce the risk of cross-infection.

[0003] However, existing nebulizers need to be manually cleaned after use. Although medical staff can take active protection by wearing protective equipment, this operation requires multiple contacts with pathogens, which will still reduce the effectiveness of protection and increase the possibility of infection. To this end, the "Clinical Nebulizer Pressurized Spray Device for Respiratory Diseases" with Chinese Patent Application No. 202310486644.5 came into being. The device includes a body and a mask, a protective door is provided on the body, and an atomization mechanism and a medicine chamber are arranged inside. The medicine chamber is connected to the mask through a medicine tube, and a drain pipe is provided at the bottom and equipped with a valve. In addition, a connected water tank and a steam generator are also provided in the body, and the steam nozzle is installed on the protective door. When the protective door is closed, the steam nozzle can be connected to the medicine tube.

[0004] The device significantly reduces the direct contact between medical staff and pathogens through the automatic cleaning function after atomization, thereby providing better protection and reducing labor intensity. However, due to the different number of patients, multiple atomization treatments are required on the same day. The atomization pipe does not have enough time to dry, and the drying condition cannot be monitored. If atomization is performed rashly, the residual water vapor in the atomization pipe will irritate the patient's trachea and cause coughing and other reactions. At this time, the pathogens will escape through the gap between the mask and the face, which increases the risk of cross-infection between medical staff and other patients. Even if active protection is done, the effectiveness of protection will still be reduced. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for respiratory infection protection and monitoring, which solves the problem that water vapor stimulates the patient to cough during atomization, increases the risk of infection, and reduces protection.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a device for respiratory infection protection and monitoring, comprising a shell, and a partition symmetrically installed inside the shell, the partition dividing the shell into two side chambers and a middle chamber, the middle chamber is equipped with an atomizing chamber, a heater and a steam sterilizer, the side chambers are equipped with masks and a first humidity sensor, the outer wall of the atomizing chamber is connected with a drug injection port and an air injection port, and further comprising:

[0007] The opening and closing assembly includes a baffle ring installed on the inner wall of the atomizing chamber, wherein the upper end surface of the baffle ring is symmetrically provided with through holes, and the lower end surface of the baffle ring is abutted against a rotatable baffle plate; the first humidity sensor monitors the side cavity, rotates the baffle plate, and opens the through holes in sequence, so that the atomizing chamber is connected with the disinfected and dried mask;

[0008] The drying component includes a winding component, an atomizing tube and a pull rope are wound on the outside of the winding component, a second roller is installed on the side of the pull rope away from the winding component, a support block is rotatably installed on the outer wall at the center position of the second roller, and a protective door is installed on the outer wall of the support block; when the winding component completes the winding of the atomizing tube and the pull rope, the heater heats the atomizing chamber while the air injection port is ventilated for drying, and at this time the protective door is fixed by the pull rope to prevent the side cavity from communicating with the outside.

[0009] Preferably, a control panel is installed on the outer wall of the shell.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end surface of the side cavity is connected to a water outlet.

[0011] Preferably, a driving unit is symmetrically mounted on the outer wall of the shell, and the driving unit is fixedly connected to the winding assembly. The winding assembly includes a third roller rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the side cavity, and the first rollers are symmetrically mounted on both ends of the third roller.

[0012] Preferably, a micro motor is mounted on the upper end surface of the shell, a second round rod is mounted on the output shaft of the micro motor, and an end of the second round rod away from the micro motor passes through the shell and the retaining ring and is fixedly connected to the baffle.

[0013] Preferably, the third roller is connected to a connecting pipe when rotating toward the atomization chamber, and two ends of the connecting pipe are respectively connected to the through hole and the atomization pipe.

[0014] Preferably, a second humidity sensor is installed on the inner wall of the atomization cabin.

[0015] Preferably, a first round rod is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the side cavity.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The present invention is provided with an opening and closing assembly, which drives the second round rod to rotate through a micro motor, and the second round rod drives the baffle to rotate, so as to realize the opening of one through hole on the baffle ring and the closing of another through hole. When the atomizer tube and the mask on the side where the through hole is opened are disinfected and dried, the atomizer tube and the mask on the side where the through hole is closed will not be affected, ensuring that the patient always uses the atomizer tube and the mask that have been dried. This design effectively reduces the stimulation to the patient's trachea, thereby reducing the incidence of coughing, preventing pathogens from escaping from the mask, and significantly improving the protective effect.

[0018] 2. The present invention is provided with a drying component. After the heater works, the atomization chamber is heated to evaporate the water vapor inside the atomization chamber. At the same time, all the gas injection ports are opened, and a large amount of gas enters the atomization chamber. The large amount of gas takes away the water vapor in the atomization chamber and the atomization tube, so that drying can be performed in the shortest time. At this time, the protective door is pulled by a pull rope, which can prevent external gas from entering while drying quickly, protect the mask, prevent secondary contamination, and cause cross infection. In addition, the pulling of the protective door by the pull rope can prevent patients from operating it incorrectly, further improving the protection effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] The drying component includes a winding component, the outside of which is wound with an atomizing tube 8 and a pull rope 10, a second roller 12 is installed on the side of the pull rope 10 away from the winding component, a support block 11 is rotatably installed on the outer wall at the center position of the second roller 12, and a protective door 5 is installed on the outer wall of the support block 11; when the winding component completes the winding of the atomizing tube 8 and the pull rope 10, the heater 22 heats the atomizing chamber 20 while the air injection port 301 is ventilated for drying, and at this time the protective door 5 is fixed by the pull rope 10 to prevent the side cavity from communicating with the outside.

[0029] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, a one-way valve is installed inside the drug injection port 3, and a solenoid valve is installed inside the gas injection port 301;

[0030] The one-way valve prevents the atomized medicine and steam from overflowing from the medicine injection port 3 , and the solenoid valve can adjust the opening size of the gas injection port 301 .

[0031] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, a control panel 6 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1, and two adjustment buttons and a switch are installed on the outer wall of the control panel 6;

[0032] The adjustment buttons can adjust the gas flow rates of the heater 22 and the gas injection port 301 respectively.

[0033] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lower end surface of the side cavity is connected with a water outlet 7;

[0034] The water outlet 7 allows the steam to flow out.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 3As shown, the outer wall of the housing 1 is symmetrically mounted with a driving unit 2, the driving unit 2 is fixedly connected to the winding assembly, the winding assembly comprises a third winding roller 15 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the side cavity, and the first winding rollers 9 are symmetrically mounted at both ends of the third winding roller 15;

[0036] The driving unit 2 is a motor, which drives the third roller 15 and the first roller 9 to rotate.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, a micro motor 4 is mounted on the upper end surface of the housing 1, and a second round rod 19 is mounted on the output shaft of the micro motor 4. The end of the second round rod 19 away from the micro motor 4 passes through the housing 1 and the retaining ring 26 and is fixedly connected to the baffle 17;

[0038] The rotation of the micro motor 4 drives the second round rod 19 to rotate, and the second round rod 19 drives the baffle 17 to rotate.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the third roller 15 is connected to a connecting pipe 24 when rotating toward the atomizing chamber 20 , and both ends of the connecting pipe 24 are connected to the through hole 25 and the atomizing pipe 8 respectively.

[0040] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, a second humidity sensor 18 is installed on the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 20;

[0041] The second humidity sensor 18 monitors the humidity in the atomizing chamber 20 .

[0042] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first round rod 14 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the side cavity;

[0043] The first round rod 14 supports the atomization tube 8 .

[0044] Furthermore, a first torsion spring is installed at the connection between the protective door 5 and the housing 1, and a second torsion spring is installed at the connection between the second roller 12 and the support block 11;

[0045] The first torsion spring can enable the protective door 5 to open automatically, reduce touch, and improve protection. The second torsion spring can enable the second roller 12 to reel in the pull rope 10 to prevent entanglement.

[0046] Working principle: Step 1: Add the required medicine through the medicine injection port 3, and connect the external air source through the air injection port 301. At this time, the medical staff presses the switch, the control panel 6 starts, and the driving unit 2 on one side drives the third roller 15 and the first roller 9 to rotate and unwind, and the atomization tube 8 and the pull rope 10 become longer. At this time, since the first torsion spring is installed at the connection between the protective door 5 and the shell 1, the protective door 5 will automatically pop up, and the patient can take out the mask 13 and pull out the atomization tube 8 by himself. Since the second torsion spring is installed at the connection between the second roller 12 and the support block 11, the pull rope 10 is rolled up by the second roller 12 to prevent entanglement.

[0047] Step 2: After the third roller 15 and the first roller 9 are unwound, the mask 13 is buckled on the mouth and nose. At this time, the opening size of the solenoid valve in the gas injection port 301 is controlled by the knob on the control panel 6 to adjust the gas volume suitable for oneself. After the liquid medicine in the nebulizer cabin 20 is atomized, it is sprayed out from the mask 13 through the nebulizer tube 8 to treat the patient and reduce the patient's cough. At this time, if the patient feels that the temperature of the atomized liquid medicine is low and stimulates the trachea with discomfort, the heater 22 can be controlled by the knob on the control panel 6 until it is adjusted to a comfortable temperature, thereby further reducing the stimulation to the trachea and preventing pathogens from overflowing from the gaps in the mask 13 after coughing, thereby increasing the risk of infection for medical staff and patients in the same room, reducing protection, reducing contact, and thus improving protection.

[0048] Step 3: After the atomization is completed, the patient presses the switch to turn off the machine, and the driving unit 2 rotates in the opposite direction, the third roller 15 and the first roller 9 rotate and rewind, and the third roller 15 rewinds the atomization tube 8;

[0049] At the same time, the first roller 9 pulls the second roller 12 to rotate through the pull rope 10. When the pull rope 10 is completely unwound on the second roller 12, the pull rope 10 drives the protective door 5 to flip downward through the support block 11, and the protective door 5 closes the side cavity.

[0050] Step 4: When the protective door 5 is closed, the control panel 6 automatically controls the steam sterilizer 21 to perform disinfection. The steam sterilizer 21 performs steam disinfection on the atomizing chamber 20, and the steam disinfects and sterilizes the atomizing tube 8 and the mask 13. At the same time, the first humidity sensor 16 is monitored, and the steam is discharged from the water outlet 7. After the steam sterilizer 21 has been disinfected for a specified time, the control panel 6 controls the heater 22 to work, heat the atomizing chamber 20, evaporate the internal water vapor, and control the electromagnetic valves of the air injection port 301 to open. At this time, the air flow is the largest, the water vapor in the atomizing chamber 20 will be quickly drawn away, and then the residual water vapor in the atomizing tube 8 will be quickly discharged, so that the drying is completed in the shortest time. At this time, since the protective door 5 is pulled by the pull rope 10, it will not be blown open, which can prevent outside air from entering and avoid secondary pollution, thereby protecting the disinfected mask 13. When the second humidity sensor 18 and the first humidity sensor 16 detect that the humidity is within the threshold, the air injection port 301 is closed and the heater 22 stops working.

[0051] Step 5: When atomization is to be performed on different patients, the medical staff injects the medicine through the injection port 3 and presses the switch. At this time, the control panel 6 controls the micromotor 4 to rotate. The micromotor 4 drives the baffle 17 to rotate through the second round rod 19. The baffle 17 blocks the through hole 25 that has been worked. At this time, the driving unit 2 on the other side works, and the second step is repeated to complete the atomization. By switching the two through holes 25, the device can allow the dried atomization tube 8 to stand naturally for a certain period of time to ensure that the water in the atomization tube 8 is completely evaporated, reduce the irritation to the patient's trachea, reduce the escape of pathogens, and thus increase protection.
