[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] Breathing training equipment with three training modes;

[0026] Mode 1: If Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the cylindrical shell 1 has an inner cavity running through its bottom, an air nozzle 11 is provided on one side of the top of the side wall of the shell 1, and an air return pipe 4 is provided on the other side of the top of the side wall of the shell 1. The air return pipe 4 is provided with a one-way valve 41 that conducts outward, and the piston shell 2 is vertically adapted to slide inside the shell 1. The interior of the piston shell 2 is connected up and down. A frustum column 21 is fixed at the inner center of the piston shell 2, and the frustum column 21 extends upward. The small end of the frustum column 21 faces upward, and the piston piece 3 elastically slides in the piston shell 2 through a spring. The upper surface of the piston piece 3 is connected to the top of the shell 1 through a spring. A frustum opening 31 is provided at the center of the surface of the piston piece 3, and the small end of the frustum opening 31 faces upward. The frustum column 21 passes through the frustum opening 31, and an air guide gap is formed between the frustum column 21 and the frustum opening 31.

[0027] The user holds the air nozzle 11 in his mouth. In the initial state, the piston shell 2 is at the bottom of the shell 1 and the piston plate 3 is at the top of the piston shell 2 due to the elastic force. When inhaling, the gas is conducted upward from the bottom of the shell 1. After entering the piston shell 2, the gas is conducted upward through the air guide gap and then passes through the air nozzle 11 to the user's mouth. The air flow is hindered by the air guide gap, which makes the inhalation action have resistance. When the user's inhalation intensity increases, the upward negative pressure on the piston shell 2 and the piston plate 3 increases, and the piston shell 2 and the piston plate 3 move upward. Under the elastic force of the spring, the piston plate 3 moves downward relative to the piston shell 2, and the air guide gap becomes smaller, which is used to balance the changes in inhalation efficiency caused by changes in inhalation intensity. Long-term use can control the user to achieve relatively uniform inhalation intensity and rhythm.

[0028] A retaining ring 23 is provided at the lower part of the inner wall of the piston housing 2. The retaining ring 23 is used to prevent the piston plate 3 from moving downward to the maximum position in the piston housing 2, so that the air guide gap maintains a reasonable air guide volume.

[0029] Mode 2: If Figure 3As shown, a contact piece 7 is provided at the top of the housing 1. The upper surface of the piston piece 3 is connected to the contact piece 7 via a spring. Two guide posts 71 are symmetrically fixed to the top surface of the housing 1. The guide posts 71 slide downward in parallel and penetrate the contact piece 7. A stud 72 is installed on the top of the housing 1. The stud 72 is threaded through the contact piece 7.

[0030] By rotating the stud 72 to adjust the height of the contact piece 7, the pressure of the spring on the piston piece 3 is changed, which is used to adjust the displacement distance of the piston shell 2 and the piston piece 3 relative to the piston shell 2 during the rising process of the piston shell 2 and the piston piece 3, so that the change amplitude of the air guide gap can be adjusted to adapt to breathing exercises of different intensities.

[0031] Mode 3: If Figure 1 、 Figure 7 As shown, the diameter of the bottom opening of the housing 1 is smaller than the diameter of its inner cavity, so that the piston housing 2 can be blocked at the bottom of the housing 1. A screw 9 is threaded through the surface of the housing 1. The screw 9 is used to abut the top of the piston housing 2, so that the piston housing 2 is limited to the bottom of the housing 1;

[0032] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, a semi-annular opening 22 is provided at the bottom of the piston housing 2, and a rotary vane 8 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the piston housing 2. The surface of the rotary vane 8 has a semi-annular regulating port 81. The overlapping portion of the opening 22 and the regulating port 81 is used to conduct air.

[0033] When implementing training mode 1 and training mode 2, the screw 9 is in an external state, the lifting and lowering of the piston shell 2 is not restricted by the screw 9, and the adjustment port 81 and the through port 22 completely overlap, ensuring that the ventilation area at the bottom of the piston shell 2 is larger than the ventilation area of ​​the air guide gap. When implementing training mode 3, the screw 9 is rotated to position the piston shell 2 at the bottom of the housing 1. At this time, the air guide gap is in a fixed state and will not change with the change of breathing intensity. The overlapping area of ​​the adjustment port 81 and the through port 22 is adjusted by rotating the rotary vane 8 to control the airflow conduction area and achieve the purpose of fixed airflow resistance control.

[0034] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the bottom opening of the housing 1 is in a reduced diameter shape, and a hard ring is configured on the edge of the filter 6. The filter 6 is fixed to the bottom opening of the housing 1 through a hard ring thread to filter dust in the inhaled air;

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, an annular cavity 5 is provided around the bottom opening of the housing 1, and the return air pipe 4 passes through the annular cavity 5 through a one-way valve 41. The annular cavity 5 is connected to the bottom opening of the housing 1 through an annularly distributed grid opening 51, and the grid opening 51 is tilted downward to point to the filter screen 6;

[0036] During inhalation, the one-way valve 41 cuts off the air path of the return air pipe 4, so that the air flow can only be transmitted upward from the bottom opening of the shell 1. During exhalation, the one-way valve 41 opens, creating an unobstructed channel for the discharge of the air flow, so that the air flow can be discharged quickly. The air flow is introduced into the annular cavity 5 through the return air pipe 4, and then blown to the filter 6 through the annularly distributed grid openings 51. The air flow penetrates the filter 6 from the inside to the outside, which is used to clean the dust filtered on the outside of the filter 6, prevent the filter 6 from being adhered to the dust, affecting the stable conduction of the air flow during inhalation, and can extend the service life of the filter 6.
