Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a respiratory sputum expectorant. Background Technology

[0002] Phlegm crusts are hard, crust-like substances that form after respiratory secretions dry in the air after being coughed up. Phlegm comes from secretions of the airway mucosa and is normally clear or white, but may turn yellow, green, or streaked with blood when one is sick. Crusts or phlegm coatings are the hard crusts formed after phlegm dries in the air. They are commonly seen in infections such as colds, influenza, bronchitis, and pneumonia. The amount and color of phlegm can change depending on the severity of inflammation and may be accompanied by symptoms such as fever, chest pain, and fatigue.

[0003] In respiratory clinical treatment, sputum crusts easily form in patients' airways. If not removed in time, they can affect patients' respiratory function and even lead to serious respiratory infections. Existing sputum crust removal equipment has the following shortcomings:

[0004] The existing sputum removal devices have probes made of overly hard material, resulting in poor patient comfort. In addition, the lack of airway heating and humidification design makes the airway easily irritated. Therefore, the existing sputum removal devices still have shortcomings in use.

[0005] In conclusion, it is necessary to invent a respiratory sputum expectorant. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a respiratory sputum crust removal device to solve the problems of existing sputum crust removal devices, such as the probe material at the end being too hard, resulting in poor patient comfort, and the lack of airway heating and humidification design, which easily irritates the patient's airway.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] See attached document Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a respiratory sputum crust removal device, including a main body 100. A control panel 110 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the main body 100. The control panel 110 is used to control the operation of the device and can receive and process the data detected by the detection sensor mechanism 530. A layer of sound insulation cotton 130 is provided on the inner wall side of the main body 100. The sound insulation cotton 130 can reduce the noise generated by the device during operation inside the main body 100 and improve the user comfort.

[0028] The main body 100 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism for removing sputum crusts. This mechanism includes a hose connector 140, which is fixedly installed on the top of the outer wall of the main body 100. Inside the main body 100, below the hose connector 140, is a waste bottle 150. The outer walls of the waste bottle 150 are fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the main body 100 via fixing blocks. The waste bottle 150 stores the collected sputum crusts. Both ends of the waste bottle 150 are fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the main body 100 via bolts and fixing blocks. The hose connector 140 can replace the waste bottle 150 and connect to the bottom of the sputum-clearing hose 300. The connecting pipe 141 can be configured as a flexible hose to facilitate the subsequent removal of the waste bottle 150. After cleaning, the bottom of the inner wall of the hose connector 140 is inserted into the top of the inner wall of the waste bottle 150 through the connecting pipe 141. A negative pressure pump 120 is fixed at the front end of the inner wall of the main body 100 and on one side of the waste bottle 150. The top suction end of the negative pressure pump 120 is connected to the top of the inner wall of the waste bottle 150 through the suction pipe 121. The negative pressure pump 120 can draw air from inside the waste bottle 150 through the suction pipe 121, so that the waste bottle 150 is in a negative pressure state. When the waste bottle 150 is in a negative pressure state, the sputum clearing hose 300 can be drawn through the connecting pipe 141 and the hose connector 140. The control end of the negative pressure pump 120 needs to include a multi-level negative pressure adjustment button, which can select low, medium and high negative pressure levels according to the patient's tolerance and sputum crust condition.

[0029] A fixing plate is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the waste bottle 150, and a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to a stirring rod, and stirring blades are fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring rod.

[0030] The inner wall of the tubing connector 140 is detachably connected to a sputum clearance tubing 300. The sputum clearance tubing 300 is designed to work with the negative pressure waste bottle 150 to allow the ultra-soft silicone probe 500 to suction and remove sputum crusts. The end of the sputum clearance tubing 300 furthest from the tubing connector 140 is connected to an airway warming humidifier 400. The airway warming humidifier 400 is designed to deliver warmed moisture into the patient's body before sputum crust removal to reduce irritation. The other end of the airway warming humidifier 400... The end is connected to an ultra-soft silicone probe 500 via a sputum-clearing tubing 300. The ultra-soft silicone probe 500 can be made of medical-grade ultra-soft silicone material, which is soft and can reduce respiratory tract irritation and damage. A reservoir 200 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the main body 100. A miniature infusion pump 210 for drawing fluid from the reservoir 200 is fixed on the outer wall of the main body 100 and above the reservoir 200. The infusion end of the miniature infusion pump 210 is connected to the airway heating via an infusion tube 220. The inner wall of the humidifier 400 is connected to the end of the infusion tube 220 via a fixed atomizing nozzle 221. A heating module 410 for heating the moisture is fixed on the inner wall of the humidifier 400, away from the atomizing nozzle 221. A storage tank 200 is provided to store sterile water, and a miniature infusion pump 210 can extract the sterile water from the storage tank 200 and then deliver it through the infusion tube. 220 is delivered to the nebulizing nozzle 221, which can atomize and spray sterile water into the airway warming humidifier 400. The heating module 410 can be a resistance wire heating ring, which can heat the water mist after being connected to electricity to improve the humidification effect of the water mist on the patient's body. The inner wall of the sputum-clearing tubing 300 can have a through groove for the wire harness to pass through, so as to ensure that the heating module 410 can operate normally and can also be used for delivery.

[0031] A soft silicone probe 500 is fixedly connected to the side of the sputum-clearing tubing 300 away from the airway heated humidifier 400. A sputum-clearing port 510 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the soft silicone probe 500 for suctioning and removing sputum crusts. Inside the soft silicone probe 500, above the sputum-clearing port 510, is a detection sensor mechanism 530. This detection sensor mechanism 530 includes a miniature pressure sensor to monitor the contact pressure with the airway in real time, preventing excessive damage, and a respiratory sensor (miniature airflow sensor). The sensor can be connected to the control panel 110 to synchronize the device operation with the patient's breathing, making the operation gentler. At the same time, a miniature probe can also be set on the sensor mechanism 530 to facilitate better suction of sputum crusts. The outer wall of the ultra-soft silicone probe 500 is fixed with anti-sticking balls 520. Multiple anti-sticking balls 520 are evenly arranged in a ring array. The anti-sticking balls 520 are made of the same material as the ultra-soft silicone probe 500 and are evenly distributed on the edge of the probe to prevent the probe from adhering to the respiratory mucosa and avoid mucosal damage.

[0032] The usage process of this invention is as follows: Those skilled in the art can first assemble the device according to the above description, then connect all electrical equipment to an external power supply, and control the operation of the device through an external controller. The control programs of all electrical equipment are edited in advance by the production personnel before production. This invention does not make any technical improvements here, but only assumes that it can normally meet the needs of personnel.

[0033] First, personnel can assemble the device according to the above instructions, then take out the ultra-soft silicone probe 500 and insert it into the patient's airway through the personnel's mouth. Then, the sensor on the detection sensor mechanism 530 allows the personnel to better insert the ultra-soft silicone probe 500 into the location of the sputum crust. At the same time as insertion, the miniature infusion pump 210 can draw sterile water from the reservoir 200 and deliver it to the nebulizer nozzle 221 through the infusion tube 220. The nebulizer nozzle 221 can atomize the sterile water, and then heat it through the heating module 410 before spraying it out from the sputum clearing port 510. This can humidify the airway and reduce the irritation caused by the ultra-soft silicone probe 500 when it is inserted. During the humidification process, the personnel can close the sputum clearing tubing 300 through the valve to prevent water mist backflow.

[0034] Once the location of the sputum crust is found, the personnel can align the sputum clearing port 510 with the location of the sputum crust, and then the personnel can turn on the negative pressure pump 120 so that the negative pressure pump 120 can draw air into the waste bottle 150 through the air suction pipe 121. Under the action of negative pressure, the waste bottle 150 can be connected to the connecting pipe 141 and the hose connector 140 so that the sputum clearing hose 300 can suck up the sputum crust through the sputum clearing port 510 and then transport it into the waste bottle 150 for storage.

[0035] After the device is used, personnel can remove the sealing plate on the rear side of the outer wall of the main body 100, and then remove the waste bottle 150 for cleaning and replacement.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify the present invention or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
