Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to medical devices, and in particular to a hot steam treatment device with a temperature prompt. Background Art

[0002] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease characterized by chronic bronchitis and / or emphysema with airflow obstruction, which can further develop into cor pulmonale and respiratory failure. It is associated with abnormal inflammatory responses to harmful gases and particles, and has high disability and mortality rates. Studies have shown that long-term inhalation of 37°C humidified air can significantly reduce the number of days and frequency of exacerbations in COPD patients, and significantly improve the quality of life and lung function of patients. Hot steam inhalation helps dilute sputum, promote its discharge, and reduce sputum irritation to the respiratory tract, thereby alleviating coughing and dyspnea.

[0003] In the existing medical process, such as the Chinese patent with publication number CN221712789U, a hot steam treatment device is disclosed, which includes an operating handle; a linear peristaltic pump connected to the operating handle, and the linear peristaltic pump is used to pump liquid to the operating handle; a preheating structure, which is connected to the operating handle, and the preheating structure can pass liquid and heat the liquid to convert it into steam and transport it to the operating handle.

[0004] In the above-mentioned prior art, the preheating structure and the operating handle are mainly set separately to reduce the situation of scalding users caused by misuse, thereby reducing the risk of use. However, the above-mentioned prior art does not take into account the control of the temperature of the steam. Since the steam is generated by heating, it needs to be cooled down afterwards. On the one hand, the steam needs to be strictly temperature controlled during cooling. On the other hand, the cooling rate of the steam may be different in different parts. The human body is very fragile, and the skin and respiratory tract are sensitive to high temperature. Excessive temperature may cause burns and damage to the respiratory mucosa, causing inflammation or ulcers. Steam with uneven temperature may irritate the trachea and cause bronchial spasm, thereby aggravating breathing difficulties. The patient may feel uncomfortable, anxious or panic.

[0005] Based on this, there is still room for improvement in the above-mentioned prior art. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to continuously and stably provide hot steam to COPD patients to alleviate their symptoms, the present application provides a hot steam treatment device with temperature prompt.

The guide plate divides the airflow into multiple parts, which is helpful to control the distribution of the airflow. The side wall of the agitator plate is provided with an agitator groove, and the agitator groove is wavy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 10 This application is described in further detail.

[0021] The embodiment of the present application discloses a hot steam treatment device with a temperature prompt, which ensures the comfort of the patient during treatment and the effectiveness of the treatment by controlling the temperature of the hot steam within a uniform and appropriate range.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a hot steam therapy device with temperature prompt includes a main body 1, a heating module 2, a purification module 3, a cooling module 4, a delivery pipe 5, an inhalation mask 6, and a protection module 7. The heating module 2 is arranged at the lower part of the main body 1, and the heating module 2 heats the water carried inside the main body 1 to produce steam. The purification module 3 is arranged in the middle part of the main body 1, and the purification module 3 filters the steam. The cooling module 4 is arranged in the upper part of the main body 1, and the cooling module 4 cools the steam evenly while ensuring that the steam condenses slowly. The delivery pipe 5 is arranged at the outer end of the upper surface of the main body 1, and the free end of the delivery pipe 5 is connected to the inhalation mask 6. The protection module 7 is arranged on the delivery pipe 5, and the protection module 7 senses the steam temperature.

[0023] In actual work, the patient puts on the inhalation mask 6 and starts the present application. The heating module 2 heats the water inside the main body 1 into hot steam, and the hot steam flows into the purification module 3 of the prior art for purification. Afterwards, the cooling module 4 cools the purified hot steam. During the cooling period, if the temperature of the hot steam is uneven, the cooling module 4 senses the unevenness and automatically controls to reduce the flow rate of the hot steam, and at the same time stirs the hot steam so that the temperature inside the hot steam is uniform. Afterwards, the hot steam with suitable and uniform temperature is transported to the inhalation mask 6 through the delivery pipe 5 for the patient to inhale. If the temperature of the hot steam is too high, the delivery pipe 5 senses the temperature and changes color to remind the patient. The protection module 7 judges according to the color of the delivery pipe 5 to control the unblocking and closing of the delivery pipe 5 to avoid accidental scalding of the patient. The present application ensures that the patient inhales suitable hot steam for treatment by purifying the hot steam and controlling the temperature.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a water tank 11, an internal channel 12, and a release port 13 are provided inside the main body 1. The water tank 11 is located at the bottom of the main body 1, and the release port 13 is located at the upper right inside the main body 1. The water tank 11 and the release port 13 are connected through the internal channel 12. Coolant is provided in the internal channel 12, and the coolant plays a cooling role.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the heating module 2 is arranged in the water storage tank 11. The heating module 2 in the prior art converts water into steam by electric heating.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the cooling module 4 includes a cooling pipe 41, a convection chamber 42, a connecting pipe 43, a uniform detection mechanism 44, and a flow stirring mechanism 45. The cooling pipe 41 is uniformly installed in the internal channel 12. The cooling pipe 41 is spiral. The spiral shape can extend the flow path of the hot steam to gradually cool it down. One end of the cooling pipe 41 is connected to the purification module 3, and the other end of the cooling pipe 41 is connected to the release port 13. Connecting pipes 43 are installed on both sides of the convection chamber 42. The connecting pipe 43 and the cooling pipe 41 are butt-connected. The connecting pipe 43 is straight. The uniform detection mechanism 44 is arranged in the convection chamber 42. The uniform detection mechanism 44 detects whether the temperature of the steam is uniform. The flow stirring mechanism 45 is arranged in the connecting pipe 43 located on the right side of the convection chamber 42. The flow stirring mechanism 45 stirs the steam to make its temperature uniform.

[0027] Reference Figure 3As shown, the uniform detection mechanism 44 includes a guide member 441, a pressure plate 442, a pressure switch 443, a motor 444, and an adjustment plate 445. The guide member 441 is installed in the middle of the convection chamber 42. The cross-section of the guide member 441 is shuttle-shaped. The pressure plate 442 is slidably arranged inside the convection chamber 42 up and down. A pressure spring is connected between the pressure plate 442 and the convection chamber 42. The pressure spring plays a supporting and resetting role. The pressure switch 443 is installed at the bottom of the convection chamber 42. The pressure switch 443 and the pressure plate 442 are in contact and extrusion fit. The motor 444 is installed in the expansion shell outside the convection chamber 42. The motor 444 and the pressure switch 443 are electrically connected. The adjustment plate 445 is rotatably arranged in the connecting pipe 43 located on the right side of the convection chamber 42. The lower end of the adjustment plate 445 is coaxially connected to the output end of the motor 444.

[0028] During the actual detection process, hot steam enters the cooling tube 41, and the heat in the hot steam is transferred to the cooling tube 41. Heat exchange occurs between the coolant in the internal channel 12 and the cooling tube 41, thereby realizing the cooling of the hot steam. After that, the hot steam enters the convection chamber 42. If the temperature of the hot steam is uniform, it passes normally. If the temperature of the hot steam is uneven, the hot steam forms a convection cycle. The guide member 441 guides the gas flow and enhances the convection effect. The gas flow in the convection chamber 42 pushes the pressure plate 442 to move downward, thereby triggering the pressure switch 443. A connecting circuit is formed between the motor 444 and the pressure switch 443. The motor 444 starts and drives the adjusting plate 445 to rotate. The rotating adjusting plate 445 partially closes the inner diameter of the connecting tube 43, thereby reducing the flow rate of the hot steam. At the same time, the stirring mechanism 45 stirs the gas, thereby accelerating the temperature uniformity inside the hot steam.

[0029] Reference Figure 4-Figure 9As shown, the stirring mechanism 45 includes a stirring plate 451, a stirring groove 452, a matching platform 431, a containing groove 432, a blocking member 453, an extruding member 454, a transmission component 1 455, a transmission component 2 456, and a belt 457. The stirring plate 451 is evenly rotated on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 43 located on the right side of the convection chamber 42 through a pin shaft. The direction of the stirring plate 451 in the initial state is parallel to the flow direction of the hot steam. At this time, the stirring plate 451 plays a role in guiding and separating the airflow. The stirring plate 451 can effectively stabilize the airflow. The flow guide plate divides the airflow into multiple parts, which helps to control the distribution of the airflow. The side wall of the agitator plate 451 is provided with a flow stirring groove 452, which is wavy. The inner wall of the connecting pipe 43 on the right side of the convection chamber 42 is evenly provided with a matching platform 431, and the matching platform 431 and the agitator plate 451 are in a one-to-one correspondence. The blocking member 453 is slidably arranged in the flow stirring groove 452, and a return spring is connected between the blocking member 453 and the flow stirring groove 452, and the return spring always presses against the sealing member 453. The blocking member 453 has a tendency to pull the stirring groove 452 closer. The blocking member 453 is U-shaped. In the initial state, the blocking member 453 is located at the outermost end of the stirring groove 452. At this time, the blocking member 453 closes the outer end of the stirring groove 452. The extrusion member 454 is symmetrically slidably arranged on the front and rear end surfaces of the stirring plate 451. A return spring is connected between the extrusion member 454 and the stirring plate 451. The return spring always has a tendency to push the extrusion member 454 upward. The sliding direction of the extrusion member 454 is consistent with the radial direction of the connecting pipe 43. The extrusion member 454 4 and the blocking member 453 are extruded and matched. The extrusion member 454 in the initial state has an extrusion and limiting effect on the blocking member 453. The connecting pipe 43 is provided with a receiving groove 432 corresponding to the position of the extrusion member 454. The transmission component 1 455 is arranged in a hidden groove opened inside the connecting pipe 43. The agitator plate 451 located at the top is matched with the adjustment plate 445 through the transmission component 1 455. The transmission component 2 456 is evenly arranged in the hidden groove. The transmission component 2 456 and the transmission component 1 455 are matched through a belt 457.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the transmission component 1 455 includes a transmission rod 458, a bevel gear 1 459, a bevel gear 2 460, and a bevel gear 3 461. The transmission rod 458 is rotatably set in a hidden groove. Bevel gear 1 459 is respectively installed on the left and right ends of the transmission rod 458. Bevel gear 2 460 is installed on the upper end of the adjustment plate 445. Bevel gear 2 460 is meshed with bevel gear 1 459 located at the right end of the transmission rod 458. Bevel gear 3 461 is installed on the upper end of the agitator plate 451. Bevel gear 3 461 is meshed with bevel gear 1 459 located at the left end of the transmission rod 458.

[0031] When the agitation is actually performed, the adjusting plate 445 rotates to drive the bevel gear 2 460 to rotate. Under the meshing action, the bevel gear 1 459 rotates. Under the transmission of the transmission rod 458, the bevel gear 3 461 rotates, thereby driving the agitator plate 451 to rotate. The rotating agitator plate 451 forms a certain angle with the flow direction of the hot steam, so that the hot steam rotates when passing through the agitator plate 451, thereby enhancing the agitation effect and making the hot steam mixed evenly. At the same time, the rotating agitator plate 451 makes the position of the extrusion member 454 correspond to the position of the receiving groove 432. Under the action of the return spring, the extrusion member 454 moves upward into the receiving groove 432. The extrusion member 454 moving upward no longer limits the blocking member 453. Under the action of the return spring, the blocking member 453 moves to the depth of the agitation groove 452, thereby realizing the concave to highlight the agitation groove 452. The agitation groove 452 further enhances the agitation of the hot steam, thereby accelerating the uniformization of the internal temperature of the hot steam.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the transmission component 2 456 includes a short rod 462 and a bevel gear set. The short rod 462 is rotatably set in a hidden groove. The short rod 462 and the transmission rod 458 are matched through a belt 457. The left end of the short rod 462 is matched with the agitator plate 451 through the bevel gear set.

[0033] When the transmission rod 458 rotates, the short rod 462 rotates synchronously through the action of the belt 457 , and under the action of the bevel gear set, the spoiler plates 451 (except the spoiler plate 451 at the uppermost end) all rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of all the spoiler plates 451 .

[0034] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the delivery tube 5 is provided with a thermochromic pigment coating. The thermochromic pigment of the prior art is prepared from an electron transfer type organic compound system. At a specific temperature, electron transfer causes the molecular structure of the organic matter to change, thereby achieving color change. This color-changing substance can change from "colored-colorless" or "colorless-colored". The delivery tube 5 will change color when the hot steam temperature exceeds 40°C, reminding the patient and the caregiver that the hot steam is overheated to avoid scalding the patient. When the steam temperature drops, the delivery tube 5 returns to its original color.

[0035] Reference Fig.10 As shown, the protection module 7 includes a mounting shell 71, a sensor 72, and a solenoid valve 73. The mounting shell 71 is installed on the conveying pipe 5, and the sensor 72 is installed in the mounting shell 71. The sensor 72 is a color sensor in the prior art, and the solenoid valve 73 is installed in the mounting shell 71.

[0036] In actual operation, the sensor 72 senses the color change of the delivery tube 5 and triggers the solenoid valve 73 to close, thereby closing the delivery tube 5 to prevent the patient from inhaling superheated steam and causing harm.

[0037] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: Step 1: The patient puts on the inhalation mask 6; Step 2: Start the application; Step 3: The heating module 2 heats the water inside the main body 1 into hot steam; Step 4: The purification module 3 purifies the hot steam; Step 5: The cooling module 4 cools the purified hot steam. During the cooling period, if the temperature of the hot steam is uneven, the cooling module 4 senses the unevenness and automatically controls to reduce the flow rate of the hot steam, and stirs the hot steam to make the temperature inside the hot steam uniform. Step 6: The hot steam is delivered to the inhalation mask 6 through the delivery pipe 5 for the patient to inhale. If the temperature of the hot steam is too high, the delivery pipe 5 senses the temperature and changes color to warn. The protection module 7 makes a judgment based on the color of the delivery pipe 5 and controls the delivery pipe 5 to be closed. Step 7: After the treatment is completed, remove the inhalation mask 6.

[0038] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
