Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nasal cavity care equipment, and in particular to a novel nasal cavity care detection device. Background Art
[0002] Nasal irrigation is a commonly used nasal care method. It is not only widely promoted and applied in the clinical treatment field, but has also become a common personal hygiene care habit in daily home life.
[0003] There is an existing electric nasal irrigator that uses two sets of power devices of an active device to generate a certain pressure to send physiological saline into the nostrils while providing negative pressure at the opposite nostril at the same time, helping the irrigating liquid to quickly discharge from the nasal cavity, achieving the purpose of comfortable, safe and effective nasal irrigation; for example, patent publication number CN217828377U discloses a nasal irrigator with suction and drainage function, which includes a cleaning liquid storage tank and a waste liquid collection tank. The cleaning liquid storage tank is used to store the cleaning liquid, and the waste liquid collection tank is used to collect waste water after cleaning the nasal cavity. The cleaning liquid is extracted by pump body one and sprayed into the nasal cavity through the water delivery channel and the nozzle. At the same time, the pump body two works to generate suction force in the opposite nasal cavity, and the irrigating liquid is quickly discharged from the nasal cavity.
[0004] However, electric nasal irrigators only have a single nasal cleaning function. During the nasal cleaning process, people can only make vague judgments on the cleaning effect based on their personal physical sensations. There are no stable and reliable quantitative indicators to guide the user's next behavior, such as whether the user's current nasal condition requires daily nasal cleaning, whether different concentrations of irrigating solutions are needed for alternating cleaning, whether medication is needed for cleaning, and whether nasal cleaning can be suspended. As a result, there are a large number of serious medical problems surrounding nasal irrigation and cleaning, such as excessive nasal irrigation, long-term use of high-concentration saline irrigation, arbitrary addition of medication for irrigation, and neglect of nasal irrigation and cleaning treatment. These problems not only cause troubles to individuals and the public, but also seriously increase the cost of the medical industry. Therefore, the entire society urgently needs an effective quantitative evaluation of the effect of nasal irrigation and a convenient means of quantitatively analyzing the relationship between nasal irrigation and nasal and even human physiological indicators.
[0005] On the other hand, we know that clinically, nasal gas detection can provide a variety of physiological indicator assessments and disease risk prompts by analyzing biomarkers (such as nitric oxide, gas molecules, etc.) in the nasal cavity or exhaled gas, combined with sensor technology and data analysis; for example, FnNO (nasal exhaled nitric oxide): detects the inflammatory state of the nasal cavity and sinus mucosa, with a normal value range of 250~500 ppb. Abnormal values (such as <250 ppb indicates sinus obstruction, >500 ppb indicates open sinus inflammation) can be used to screen for allergic rhinitis and sinusitis and guide whether to use medication or higher concentration saline flushing treatment; CaNO (small airway nitric oxide): calculates small airway inflammation in the alveolar area through a two-compartment model, reflects the degree of small airway lesions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, and guides treatment, etc.
[0006] In summary, we propose to introduce a method of nasal gas detection during daily nasal irrigation. Without increasing the behavioral burden of individuals, the nasal exhaled gas detection result indicators can be used to evaluate the efficacy of nasal irrigation. Through nasal exhaled gas detection during daily irrigation, a more complete and effective individual database of individual physiological indicators such as nasal inflammation level, degree of small airway lesions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma is established compared to the single detection indicators in hospitals. It is expected to bring positive promoting effects on the human body, diseases, and medical treatment, and at the same time provide quantitative guidance indicators for the selection of different nasal irrigation schemes for nasal irrigation populations.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application provides a novel nasal cavity care detection device, comprising a suction head 100, a suction pump 200, a pipeline switching component 300 and a gas detection component 400;
[0037] The liquid inlet end of the suction pump 200 is connected to the suction head 100 through a first delivery pipeline 210, and the liquid discharge end of the suction pump 200 is connected to a second delivery pipeline 220 for discharging waste liquid;

The first port 310 serves as an inlet, and the second port 320 and the third port 330 serve as outlets. When the first port 310 and the second port 320 are connected, the third port 330 is closed; when the first port 310 and the third port 330 are connected, the second port 320 is closed.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first port 310 and the second port 320 of the pipeline switching assembly 300 are connected to the first delivery pipeline 210, so that when the first port 310 and the second port 320 are connected, the first delivery pipeline 210 is in a conducting state, and when the first port 310 and the second port 320 are closed, the first delivery pipeline 210 is in a closed state;

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the new nasal care detection device provided in this embodiment, when the first port 310 and the second port 320 of the pipeline switching assembly 300 are connected to the first delivery pipeline 210, the gas detection assembly 400 includes an air pump 420 and a first gas sensing module 430.

[0044] During use, when the first port 310 and the second port 320 are connected and the third port 330 is closed, the waste liquid in the nasal cavity can be sucked out through the first delivery pipe 210 and the suction head 100 by the suction pump 200, and then discharged through the second delivery pipe 220; when it is necessary to detect the exhaled gas in the nasal cavity, when the first port 310 and the third port 330 are connected and the second port 320 is closed, the gas in the nasal cavity is transported to the first gas sensing module 430 through the suction head 100, the first delivery pipe 210, the first port 310, the third port 330, the gas detection pipe 410 and the third delivery pipe 440 in sequence to realize the detection of the gas composition.

[0047] It should be noted that the first gas sensing module 430 and the second gas sensing module 450 in this embodiment are identical. Preferably, taking the first gas sensing module 430 as an example, it may include a gas detection sensor and a chip processor. The gas detection sensor may be an electrochemical nitric oxide sensor. The chip processor has its own battery and is electrically connected to the gas detection sensor to detect the nitric oxide content in nasal gas, thereby positively promoting the human body, diseases, and medical treatment. It also provides quantitative guidance indicators for selecting different nasal irrigation plans for different nasal irrigation groups. Since the gas detection sensor is a prior art product, this solution does not further elaborate on its detection principle.
[0048] In the novel nasal cavity care detection device provided in this embodiment, the position of the third port 330 is higher than the position of the second port 320 , so as to prevent liquid from entering the gas detection pipeline 410 .

[0052] The novel nasal cavity care and detection device provided in this embodiment also includes a liquid storage tank 700, a flushing head 800 and a flushing pump 900;
[0053] Among them, the liquid storage tank 700 is arranged at the bottom of the shell 500; the flushing head 800 is arranged on the outside of the shell 500; the liquid inlet end of the flushing pump 900 is connected to the interior of the liquid storage tank 700 through the fourth delivery pipe 910, and the liquid outlet end of the flushing pump 900 is connected to the flushing head 800 through the fifth delivery pipe 920, so that the medicine in the liquid storage tank 700 is supplied into the nasal cavity after passing through the flushing pump 900 and the flushing head 800.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the novel nasal cavity care detection device provided in this embodiment further includes a pipeline drying device 1, which includes a housing 2, a heating module 3 and a fan 4;
[0056] The housing 2 has an air outlet 5, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the suction head 100. For example, the shape of the air outlet 5 and the suction head 100 are both set to be conical shapes adapted to the shape of the nostrils, so that the suction head 100 can be placed in the air outlet 5;
[0057] The heating module 3 and the fan 4 are arranged inside the shell 2. The heating module 3 can adopt a plate-type or tubular electric heater. The heating module 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the shell 500 by screws at a position opposite to the air outlet 5. The fan 4 is located on the side of the heating module 3 away from the air outlet 5. The airflow can be heated by the heating module 3 and then discharged through the air outlet 5 through the fan 4. The hot airflow can enter the various conveying pipelines through the suction head 100, which has the effect of drying each pipeline, effectively reducing the problem of the temperature and humidity parameters of the nasal gas used for detection being changed during the process of passing through the humid pipeline.
[0058] In addition, the pipeline drying device 1 also includes a heating controller 6 and a heating power supply 7. The heating controller 6 is electrically connected to the heating power supply 7, the heating module 3 and the fan 4 respectively. The heating controller 6 is used to adjust the on or off function of the heating module 3.
