[0002] Under the dual effects of urbanization and extreme weather, the humidity of indoor and outdoor air is often lower than the human comfort threshold (40%-60%). The humidity in winter heating and summer air-conditioning environments can even drop below 20%. This dry environment directly leads to damage to the barrier function of the nasal mucosa - the dehydration and shrinkage of mucosal cells causes the efficiency of ciliary swing to drop by more than 50%, and the risk of pathogen invasion increases by 3 times, which in turn causes complications such as dry rhinitis and nosebleeds. The number of related outpatient visits increases by an average of 12% per year, and drug consumption accounts for 18% of the respiratory drug market, resulting in a continuous loss of medical resources. Traditional evaporative humidifiers require fan drive and the noise reaches 30-50dB. Summary of the Invention

[0014] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present invention, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] Reference Figure 1The embodiment of the present invention is a multifunctional nose-hanging humidifier, which includes: a humidifier body 1, an important medical care auxiliary product, widely used in hospitals, nursing homes, home care and other fields, mainly used to improve the discomfort caused by dry air, such as dry nasal cavity, etc. The outer surface of the humidifier body 1 is provided with a skin-friendly layer 7, the material of the skin-friendly layer 7 is skin-friendly grade silica gel, the inner wall of the humidifier body 1 is provided with a waterproof layer 8, the material of the waterproof layer 8 is 1mm plastic tube wall, the interior of the humidifier body 1 is provided with a water storage column 2, a water blocking sponge 3 and an evaporation sponge 4, the water blocking sponge 3 is located between the water storage column 2 and the evaporation sponge 4, the evaporation sponge 4 includes a plurality of evaporation holes 5, the storage The interior of the water column 2 is installed with a food-grade TPU and bamboo charcoal composite layer, and the interior of the water storage column 2 is provided with a hydrophilic sponge matrix. The water storage column 2 can store liquid and continuously supply water to the evaporation sponge 4. The material of the water-blocking sponge 3 is chitosan fiber. The water-blocking sponge 3 prevents the un-atomized water from leaking directly. The material of the evaporation sponge 4 is degradable PLGA nanofiber and is loaded with tea polyphenol nanoparticles. The evaporation sponge 4 absorbs the water in the water storage column 2 through capillary action to expand the evaporation area. The upper end of the humidifier main body 1 is detachably connected to the cover 6 through a snap. The water storage column 2 is located below the cover 6. The outer surface of the humidifier main body 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed structure, which is a fixed structure such as elastic wire and magnet.

[0016] Example 1: The interior of the water storage column 2 contains a food-grade TPU + bamboo charcoal composite layer (heavy metal content <0.1ppm) and a built-in hydrophilic sponge matrix (porosity 92%), enabling stable water supply at any angle. The water-blocking sponge 3 is made of an intelligent material (such as chitosan fiber) and can automatically adjust its porosity according to the ambient humidity (shrinking to 15% when RH>60% and expanding to 45% when RH<30%), achieving adaptive humidity control (40%-55% RH). Without the need for sensor power supply, the liquid in the water storage column 2 can be transferred to the nanofiber evaporation sponge 4. Example 2: The evaporating sponge 4 is a degradable PLGA nanofiber, which is a type of biomimetic nanofiber material, such as sodium alginate / chitosan composite nanofiber (contact angle <10°), which has super hydrophilicity and high specific surface area (120m² / g), and the evaporation efficiency can reach 0.28ml / h·cm², which is close to 70% of the electronic humidifier. Water is diffused to the membrane surface by capillary action and evaporated naturally by air flow, without fog or white powder, and the noise is 0dB. The airflow generated by human breathing (about 5-30L / min) can replace the traditional fan. When the airflow passes through the wet evaporating sponge 4, it carries water molecules into the nasal cavity. Experiments show that the respiratory airflow velocity is sufficient to drive evaporation, but the position of the evaporating membrane needs to be optimized (such as close to the nostrils) to improve efficiency, and the evaporating sponge 4 is loaded with tea polyphenol nanoparticles (antibacterial rate> 99%). Example 3: The present technology has two humidifier main bodies 1 with the same structure, which correspond to the two nasal cavities of the human body respectively. By snapping open the cover 6, water can be easily injected into the water storage column 2. The surface of the humidifier main body 1 is covered with a skin-friendly layer 7 made of skin-grade silicone material. The skin-friendly layer 7 is close to the nasal cavity when in use. When in use, the humidifier main body 1 can be fixed by fixing structures such as elastic wire and magnets.

[0017] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the scope of the present invention.
