Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a high-efficiency atomization device with a sputum removal function. Background Art

[0002] In clinical medicine, sputum management is an important part of the treatment of respiratory diseases, especially for patients with thick sputum that is difficult to cough up on their own. Effectively clearing respiratory secretions is of great significance for alleviating the condition and preventing complications. Traditionally, such patients usually rely on two devices, an expectorant and a nebulizer, for treatment. The nebulizer converts the liquid medicine into tiny mist particles, allowing the patient to inhale the medicine more easily, thereby relieving bronchospasm, reducing mucosal edema, diluting sputum, and promoting sputum discharge. The expectorant helps patients discharge sputum from the respiratory tract through vibration or expiratory positive pressure suction.

[0003] In existing treatment methods, nebulizers usually only have a simple drug atomization function. After atomization, the drug particles are directly transported to the patient's mouth through a pipe. After using the nebulizer for atomization treatment, the patient needs to switch to an expectorant to perform an expectoration operation, and step-by-step treatment is required, which increases the complexity of the patient's operation. When the atomized drug is directly transported to the patient's mouth through a pipe, the drug is unevenly distributed in various parts of the lungs, and the atomized drug is difficult to effectively reach the deep lungs. In addition, traditional expectorants have limited functions in patient breathing training and sputum loosening, and usually require multiple additional devices or methods to achieve these goals, increasing the complexity and cost of treatment.

Example

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 6A high-efficiency atomization device with a sputum discharge function comprises a sputum discharger body 1, an oscillation chamber 142 and a connector 2, the oscillation chamber 142 comprises a first end 16 and a second end 17, an oscillation bead 15 is movably arranged in the oscillation chamber 142, the first end 16 and the second end 17 are both provided with a vent that can form a closed air hole with the oscillation bead 15, the connector 2 is connected to the sputum discharger body 1, an extension is provided below the connector 2, a connection interface 22 is provided at the extension, a pipe on the sputum discharger is inserted into the connection interface 22, a mouthpiece 21 is provided on the connector 2 for the patient to hold, and the patient exhales or inhales into the sputum discharger body 1 through the mouthpiece 21.

[0024] The expectorant body 1 includes a shell 11, one end of which is connected to the connector 2, and the other end of the shell 11 is provided with an exhaust terminal 13. A container 14 is provided inside the shell 11, and an oscillation chamber 142 is formed inside the container 14. An oscillation bead 15 is movably provided in the oscillation chamber 142. The oscillation bead 15 can disturb the airflow in the oscillation chamber 142 to make the airflow oscillate, and can loosen and help discharge sputum from the lungs while the patient is performing breathing training.

[0025] The receiving member 14 includes a first receiving block 141 and a second receiving block 144 . Both the first receiving block 141 and the second receiving block 144 are conical funnel-shaped structures, and each has two opening ends, one large and one small.

[0026] The large open ends of the accommodating block 141 and the accommodating block 2 144 are in contact with each other, and an oscillation chamber 142 is formed therein. The accommodating block 141 and the accommodating block 2 144 can be fixedly connected by glue, welding, etc., or detachably connected by a snap-on structure.

[0027] The accommodating member 14 is located between the positioning end 12 and the exhaust end 13. The positioning end 12 protrudes from the inner side of the end of the shell 11 away from the connector 2. The edge of the accommodating block 144 protrudes to form a connecting end 143 and abuts against the positioning end 12. The arrangement of the positioning end 12 and the connecting end 143 allows the accommodating member 14 to be stably arranged on the shell 11.

[0028] A pressure relief end 23 for balancing the internal pressure extends from the connector 2, and a one-way airflow component 29 for controlling the pressure relief of the airflow is provided in the pressure relief end 23. A mounting end cover 26 is provided on the pressure relief end 23, and a pressure relief hole 27 for gas leakage is provided on the mounting end cover 26. A one-way airflow component 28 for controlling the unidirectional flow of gas is also provided in the connector 2. The gas inside the connector 2 can be discharged through the pressure relief hole 27, so that the pressure inside the connector 2 is relieved.

[0029] The one-way airflow component 1 28 comprises a one-way block 281 , on which an airflow hole 282 is provided. The one-way block 281 is also provided with a sealing sheet 283 for forming a one-way seal. The one-way airflow component 2 29 has the same structure as the one-way airflow component 1 28 .

[0030] A limiting end 24 and a positioning ring 210 are provided in the connection interface 22, and the one-way airflow member 28 is located between the limiting end 24 and the positioning ring 210. The limiting end 24 and the positioning ring 210 are both arranged on the side close to the shell 11. The inner diameter of the positioning ring 210 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the one-way airflow member 28. When installing, the one-way airflow member 28 is inserted into the connection interface 22, and the one-way airflow member 28 is pushed inward with force, so that the one-way airflow member 28 can be pushed to between the limiting end 24 and the positioning ring 210, so that it is convenient to install the one-way airflow member 28 to the specified position during production. After the one-way airflow member 28 is installed, the positioning ring 210 can play a blocking role to prevent the one-way airflow member 28 from falling out. When the pipe on the atomizer is inserted into the connection interface 22, the pipe contacts the one-way airflow member 28 and presses it against the limiting end 24.

[0031] A placement groove 25 is provided in the pressure relief end 23, and the one-way airflow component 29 is arranged in the placement groove 25. The pressure relief end 23 is arranged on the side away from the shell 11. The one-way airflow component 1 28 and the one-way airflow component 2 29 are respectively located at key positions of the connector 2 and the pressure relief end 23, thereby effectively controlling the flow and pressure relief of the gas. When the placement groove 25 is opened, it provides sufficient moving space for the one-way airflow component 2 29, so that the one-way airflow component 2 29 can move to create a gap for pressure relief processing.

[0032] There is a gap between the one-way airflow member 29 and the placement groove 25 for airflow to pass through for pressure relief, and the gap ensures that the atomized gas can pass through for pressure relief.

[0033] When the present invention is used, it can be connected to the pipeline on the nebulizer through the connecting interface 22. When the patient holds the expectorant body 1 to inhale, the expectorant body 1 is turned over so that the exhaust end 13 faces downward. The oscillating bead 15 is in the chamber of the accommodating block 144 at this time. The patient holds the mouthpiece 21 to inhale. When the patient inhales, the sealing sheet 283 on the one-way airflow piece 28 can be lifted upward, and the atomized medicine can enter the mouthpiece 21 through the airflow hole 282 on the one-way airflow piece 28, and then be inhaled into the patient's mouth for atomization treatment. At the same time, the oscillating bead 15 can be sucked up during inhalation. The oscillating bead 15 will be driven by the airflow to move upward during inhalation. When the gas flows upward along the inner wall of the oscillation chamber 142, the flow rate of the gas will further increase and the pressure will further decrease due to the gradual contraction at the top. This change in flow rate and pressure causes the gas to form an inward vortex at the top. The air wall of the oscillating bead 15 then exerts a downward force on the oscillating bead 15, so that the oscillation effect of the oscillating bead 15 on the air is improved when it falls. The design of the oscillating chamber 142 enables the oscillating bead 15 to continuously oscillate the air during the rising and falling process, thereby achieving efficient oscillation of the air. The oscillating airflow can resonate with the patient's lungs. Due to the oscillation of the air formed by the oscillating bead 15, when the atomized medicine enters the patient's mouth through the connector 2, the oscillating gas can promote the dilation of the bronchi and bronchioles, reduce airway resistance, and allow the medicine to enter the lungs smoothly. The oscillating gas can also expand the alveoli to a certain extent. The expansion of the alveoli helps to increase the ventilation area of ​​the lungs, thereby improving the gas exchange efficiency, allowing the medicine to penetrate into various positions of the lungs better, thereby improving the utilization rate of the medicine and the absorption effect of the lungs. At the same time, the oscillating air can also loosen and remove the sputum in the patient's lungs; When the patient exhales, the expectorant body 1 is turned over so that the exhaust end 13 faces upwards. The oscillating beads 15 are now in the chamber of the accommodating block 141. The patient holds the mouthpiece 21 to exhale. When exhaling, the sealing sheet 283 lifted up on the one-way airflow member 28 can be lowered to cover the airflow hole 282 on the one-way airflow member 28, thereby forming a one-way seal, so that the exhaled gas goes out from the expectorant body 1, and the exhaled gas acts on the oscillating beads 15 to generate an upward thrust on the oscillating beads 15, so that the oscillating beads 15 begin to rise. When the oscillating beads 15 are blown up, the airflow changes in the same way as in the above-mentioned airflow oscillation chamber when inhaling, so that the gas can 15 has a downward force, which can improve the oscillation effect of the oscillating beads 15 on the air when they fall. The oscillating airflow can resonate with the patient's lungs, loosen the sputum that falls off the tracheal wall, and enable the patient to loosen the sputum in the lungs when inhaling and exhaling, effectively improving the use effect of the expectorant body 1, and the patient can also perform breathing training when inhaling and exhaling through the expectorant body 1, so that the patient can perform breathing training and loosen the sputum in the lungs while performing atomization treatment. By combining atomization treatment, breathing training and sputum loosening, the treatment process is simplified, the convenience of treatment is improved, and the treatment cost is reduced; When the patient exhales, the one-way airflow piece 28 is in a sealed state and the atomized gas from below continues to enter. In order to prevent the pressure in the connection interface 22 in the connector 2 from being too high and causing the connection with the pipe on the nebulizer to be separated, when the pressure in the connector 2 becomes high, the one-way airflow piece 29 will be pushed toward the installation end cover 26, so that a certain gap is maintained between the airflow piece 2 and the edge of the mounting groove 25 on the connector 2, and the atomized gas flowing out of the gap can be depressurized, which can prevent the pressure inside the connector 2 from being too high and causing the connection between the connection interface 22 and the pipe on the nebulizer to be separated.

[0034] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way without departing from the principles.
