Description

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] In addition, to clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following are also defined: Figure 1 The top, bottom, front, back, left, and right sides are shown.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides a pulse oscillation respiratory function detection device, which includes: a housing 11, an air intake assembly 12, an airflow pipeline 13, an oscillation assembly 14, a data acquisition assembly 15, and a control assembly 16.

[0027] Specifically, the housing 11 is a hollow structure used to house other equipment of the respiratory function testing device.

[0028] An air intake assembly 12 is installed at the front end of the housing 11 and includes a first air intake pipe 121, a second air intake pipe 122, a mesh screen 123, and a nozzle 124. The first air intake pipe 121 is located in front of the second air intake pipe 122, connects to the second air intake pipe 122, and forms a gas flow channel inside it. The first air intake pipe 121 is at least partially located outside the housing 11, and the second air intake pipe 122 is at least partially located inside the housing 11. The mesh screen 123 is located between the first air intake pipe 121 and the second air intake pipe 122, dividing the gas flow channel into a front and a rear section. The rear end of the nozzle 124 is fitted onto the first air intake pipe 121. The rear end of the first air intake pipe 121 has a first air outlet 125 in a front-rear direction at its bottom, and the first air outlet 125 communicates with the front part of the gas flow channel. The front end of the second air intake pipe 122 has a second air outlet 126 in a front-rear direction at its bottom, and the second air outlet 126 communicates with the rear part of the gas flow channel.

[0029] The airflow pipe 13 is located inside the housing 11 and is connected to the second air inlet pipe 122 for transmitting gas.

[0030] The oscillation assembly 14 is disposed on the upper side of the airflow duct 13, and includes an oscillation generator 141 and a connecting pipe 142. The connecting pipe 142 is connected to the airflow duct 13. The oscillation generator 141 is mounted on top of the connecting pipe 142 to cause the passing airflow to oscillate, thereby providing external stress. This allows the user to achieve the required airflow for testing simply by breathing normally when exhaling through the mouthpiece 124, thus enabling lung function testing.

[0031] The acquisition component 15 includes a first acquisition tube 151 and a second acquisition tube 152. The first acquisition tube 151 is connected to a first air outlet 125. The second acquisition tube 152 is connected to a second air outlet 126. The control component 16 is located at the bottom inside the housing 11 and is connected to the acquisition component 15 and the oscillation component 14. The acquisition component 15 is used to acquire gas from the front and rear of the gas flow channel, and the control component 16 is used to detect the pressure of the acquired gas, thereby calculating the airflow rate and airflow changes of the person being tested during respiration, providing parameters for lung function testing results.

[0032] Through the above-described configuration, the respiratory function testing device can apply external stress during measurement, reducing the required airflow. Users only need to breathe steadily to achieve effective lung function measurement, solving the problem of measurement errors caused by insufficient airflow in children, the elderly, and patients with weak lung function in existing technologies. This design not only improves measurement accuracy but also enhances the device's applicability to a wider population, further meeting the needs of clinical lung function assessment and disease screening.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first annular first air guide groove 1211 is provided on the rear side of the first air inlet pipe 121. The first air guide groove 1211 is in clearance fit with the isolation net 123 to form a first air guide pipe. The first air guide groove 1211 is provided with a plurality of first openings 1212, and the first air guide pipe is connected to the front part of the gas flow channel through the first openings 1212. The first air outlet 125 is connected to the first air guide pipe.

[0034] Furthermore, an annular second air guide groove 1221 is provided on the front side of the second air inlet pipe 122. The second air guide groove 1221 is fitted with the isolation net 123 with a clearance to form a second air guide channel. Several second openings are provided on the second air guide groove 1221. The second air guide channel communicates with the rear part of the gas flow channel through the second openings. The second air outlet 126 communicates with the second air guide channel. Through the above arrangement, the airflow in the gas flow channel is further segmented, effectively improving the uniformity of the flow and the acquisition accuracy of the acquisition component 15. This helps reduce airflow turbulence and further improves the stability and reliability of lung function testing.

[0035] An annular first seal 1213 is provided on the outer side of the first air guide groove 1211; an annular second seal 1222 is provided on the outer side of the second air guide groove 1221. The first seal 1213 and the second seal 1222 are respectively press-fitted with the isolation net 123. By adding the first seal 1213 and the second seal 1222, the sealing performance of the device is improved, effectively preventing gas leakage, thereby further improving the stability and accuracy of lung function testing. In addition, the sealing elements reduce airflow turbulence and improve airflow stability. Furthermore, the first seal 1213 and the second seal 1222 can be made of silicone material to improve sealing performance. Moreover, the size and shape of the seals can be adjusted according to the specific needs of the device to further optimize the sealing effect and airflow stability.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the rear end of the housing 11 is provided with an exhaust pipe 17, which is connected to the airflow pipe 13 and the connecting pipe 142. The exhaust pipe 17 is used to balance the air pressure in the airflow pipe 13, stabilize the gas flow, reduce the occurrence of turbulence, and thus improve the detection accuracy of the equipment. A first filter screen 171 is provided inside the exhaust pipe 17, which can further stabilize the gas flow and improve the detection accuracy.

[0037] A heating element 18 is provided at the bottom of the airflow duct 13, near the second air inlet pipe 122. The heating element 18 is connected to the control component 16 and is used to heat the gas flow channel and the isolation mesh 123 to a preset temperature, which is 37°C. This design prevents water vapor condensation in the air inlet component 12 and the airflow duct 13, ensuring the dryness of the detection gas and improving the lifespan of the equipment. Furthermore, the temperature control design of the heating element 18 ensures the adaptability of the respiratory function testing device to different environments.

[0038] The sum of the lengths of the first air outlet 125 and the first collection tube 151 is basically the same as the sum of the lengths of the second air outlet 126 and the second collection tube 152, so as to reduce the detection error caused by the difference in the length of the airflow path and ensure the accuracy of the detection data.

[0039] The air nozzle 124 is equipped with a second filter 1241, which is used to stabilize the airflow entering the first air intake pipe 121. The second filter 1241 is made of metal to improve durability and ease of cleaning.

[0040] A third filter 143 is provided between the oscillation generator 141 and the connecting pipe 142. The third filter 143 is used to stabilize the oscillating airflow to the connecting pipe 142 and avoid excessive airflow oscillation amplitude, which would cause turbulence in the airflow pipe 13 and affect the detection results of the respiratory function detection device.

[0041] The oscillation generator 141 can be configured as a horn, an oscillating diaphragm, or other structures, with its front end fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the housing 11 and its rear end fixedly connected to the rear inner wall of the housing 11 to improve the stability of the structure.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the rear bottom of the first air intake pipe 121 and the front bottom of the second air intake pipe 122 are provided with interlocking snap-fit ​​portions 127. The front face of the housing 11 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 111 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​portion 127, and the snap-fit ​​portion 127 is disposed in the snap-fit ​​groove 111. The cooperation between the snap-fit ​​portion 127 and the snap-fit ​​groove 111 ensures the stability of the connection between the air intake assembly 12 and the housing 11. The first air outlet 125 and the second air outlet 126 are respectively extended in the snap-fit ​​portion 127, making the overall structure of the device compact and easy to assemble.

[0043] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the respiratory function testing device also includes a connecting assembly 19. The connecting assembly 19 includes a first connecting member 191 and a second connecting member 192 arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides. The first connecting member 191 is arc-shaped and has a semi-enclosed structure, fitted onto the left end of the connection between the first air intake pipe 121 and the second air intake pipe 122. The second connecting member 192 is arc-shaped and has a semi-enclosed structure, fitted onto the right end of the connection between the first air intake pipe 121 and the second air intake pipe 122. Through this arrangement, the first connecting member 191 and the second connecting member 192 respectively surround the connection between the first air intake pipe 121 and the second air intake pipe 122, forming a stable mechanical connection structure and enhancing the overall structural stability of the device. At the same time, it effectively reduces airflow leakage at the connection point, ensuring testing accuracy.

[0044] Furthermore, the first connector 191 has first protrusions 1911 on both the front and rear sides of its top. The second connector 192 has second protrusions 1921 on both the front and rear sides of its top. A connecting portion 128 is provided at the top of the connection between the first intake pipe 121 and the second intake pipe 122. The left side of the connecting portion 128 has a first groove 1281 corresponding to the first protrusion 191, and the right side has a second groove 1282 corresponding to the second protrusion 1921. The first protrusion 1911 engages with the first groove 1281; the second protrusion 1921 engages with the second groove 1282, preventing the intake assembly 12 from shaking and further enhancing the structural stability of the intake assembly 12.

[0045] Furthermore, the first connector 191 has a first grip portion 1912 on the front and rear sides of its bottom. The second connector 192 has a first grip portion 1922 on the front and rear sides of its bottom, so that the user can disassemble and replace the first connector 191 and the second connector 192.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the respiratory function testing device also includes a cover 112, which is annular. The housing 11 surrounding the air intake assembly 12 has several guide grooves 113 that are rotationally symmetrical about the axis of the air intake assembly 12. The cover 112 contains several guide blocks that mate with the guide grooves 113, allowing the cover 112 to be rotated and tightened onto the housing 11. The cover 112 restricts the movement of the air intake assembly 12 in the front-to-back direction, preventing the air intake assembly 12 from loosening and slipping out of the housing 11, thus improving the stability of the device structure.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
