Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ozone therapy technology, specifically to an ozone flushing therapy device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional gynecological ozone therapy devices typically use a water tank as the container for preparing and storing ozone water. During operation, water is first poured into the tank, followed by approximately 10 minutes of aeration with ozone gas, causing some of the ozone gas to dissolve in the water, forming ozone water with a certain bactericidal ability, which is then used for vaginal irrigation. However, this traditional ozone therapy device has the following drawbacks in practical application: 1. Ozone in water is prone to bacterial growth, posing a risk of infection. Ozone decomposes in water in approximately 20 minutes, causing the residual ozone water in the tank to quickly lose its bactericidal ability. Furthermore, the enclosed and humid environment inside the tank easily becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Continued use of inactivated ozone water for treatment can easily lead to secondary infections such as vaginal itching in subsequent patients.

[0003] Second, the ozone concentration in the water is low and it has a pungent odor, which harms the health of medical staff and patients and corrodes equipment. Traditional water tank-type gas-liquid mixing methods have low mixing efficiency and produce low concentrations of ozone water, resulting in unsatisfactory sterilization and treatment effects. Furthermore, undissolved ozone gas escapes during operation; its strong oxidizing properties not only corrode the internal and surrounding electronic equipment of the treatment device but also produce a pungent odor that is unbearable for doctors and patients. This may induce physical discomfort, especially for certain groups such as those with heart disease, high blood pressure, and pregnant women.

[0004] Third, the lack of a separate drain outlet, coupled with the presence of only a flushing pipe, poses a risk of infection. Traditional ozone therapy devices only have a flushing pipe connected to the flushing handle, without a separate drain outlet. Before treatment, the disinfection of the internal pipes and the discharge of residual ozone water must be completed through this flushing pipe. In practice, especially in some small medical institutions, medical staff are prone to insufficient disinfection time or even forgetting the disinfection procedure due to cumbersome procedures or operational negligence. Because of the lack of a separate drain outlet, incomplete disinfection of the pipes is difficult to detect visually, thus posing an infection risk to subsequent treatments and affecting treatment effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ozone rinsing therapy device that can effectively avoid insufficient disinfection time or forgetting disinfection operations due to human factors.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an ozone flushing therapy device, comprising a mixing container, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, an ozone supply assembly, and a control unit. The mixing container is provided with an inlet end, an outlet end, and an air inlet end. The inlet pipe is connected to the inlet end and is equipped with a water pump. The outlet pipe is connected to the outlet end and is provided with a flushing connection pipe, a drain pipe, and a valve. The flushing connection pipe and the drain pipe are connected in parallel, and the valve can control the flow of either the flushing connection pipe or the drain pipe. The outlet end of the ozone supply assembly is connected to the inlet end through a first air pipe. The control unit is electrically connected to the water pump, the ozone supply assembly, and the valve. The control unit is provided with a disinfection mode and a flushing mode. The disinfection mode is activated before the flushing mode is activated. The disinfection mode includes opening the drain pipe and continuing for a preset time while the flushing connection pipe is closed.

[0007] As can be seen from the above scheme, by setting up a mixing container to mix ozone gas and water, the ozone gas dissolves in the water to form ozone water with a certain bactericidal ability; by setting up a flushing connection pipe to connect with the flushing handle, and by setting up an independent drain port, the disinfection and drainage operations of the internal pipeline of the ozone flushing treatment device are convenient; by setting a disinfection mode, the system defaults to disinfection and drainage before flushing treatment, avoiding insufficient disinfection time or forgetting the disinfection operation due to human error, which can prevent the growth of bacteria in the internal pipeline of the device, effectively reduce the risk of cross-infection and improve the treatment effect.

[0008] A further proposed solution is to use a three-way solenoid valve connected to the outlet pipe. The inlet of the three-way solenoid valve is connected to the outlet pipe, and the two outlets of the three-way solenoid valve are connected to the flushing connection pipe and the sewage pipe, respectively.

[0009] A further option is that the valve includes a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve, with the first solenoid valve connected to the flushing connection pipe and the second solenoid valve connected to the drain pipe.

[0010] A further option is that the mixing container is an air-water mixer, which includes a main body and an aerator. The main body is provided with a flow chamber, and the aerator is located between the two ends of the flow chamber. The aerator is connected to the air inlet end, and the water inlet end and the water outlet end are respectively located at the two ends of the flow chamber. Water can enter from the water inlet end, pass through the aerator, and flow out from the water outlet end.

[0011] As can be seen from the above scheme, the above settings allow water to mix evenly with ozone gas during the flow process, forming ozone water with a high ozone concentration, improving the solubility of ozone gas, reducing ozone gas escape, and enabling immediate use. This saves mixing time and prevents ozone from decomposing and becoming ineffective in water due to prolonged exposure.

[0012] A further design involves installing a nozzle within the flow chamber of the aerator. The nozzle is positioned on the side of the aerator closest to the inlet, and its inner diameter gradually decreases from the inlet end to the other end.

[0013] As can be seen from the above scheme, through the Venturi effect and Bernoulli's law, as the inner diameter of the nozzle gradually decreases, the water flow velocity gradually increases and the water pressure gradually decreases. The tiny pores on the surface of the aerator are in a low-pressure state, which facilitates the supply of ozone gas and helps to reduce the pressure required to supply ozone gas into the aerator.

[0014] A further embodiment is that the main body includes a first shell, a second shell, and a mounting bracket. The second shell is connected to both the first shell and the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is located inside the first shell and the second shell. One end of the aerator is connected to the mounting bracket.

[0015] A further option is to include a mixing container comprising a water tank and an aerator, with the aerator located inside the water tank.

[0016] A further option is that the ozone supply assembly includes an air pump and an ozone generator. The air pump is connected to the ozone generator through a second air pipe, and the ozone generator is connected to the air inlet through a first air pipe.

[0017] A further option is that the ozone flushing treatment device also includes a heating device connected to the water inlet pipe and positioned upstream of the mixing container.

[0018] As can be seen from the above scheme, the above settings are used to heat the water to a warm temperature before mixing the gas and water, which helps to prevent ozone water from entering the patient's body and causing irritation or discomfort.

[0019] A further option is that the ozone flushing treatment device also includes a filter device connected to the water outlet pipe and positioned between the mixing container and the flushing connection pipe.

[0020] As can be seen from the above scheme, during the process of mixing ozone and water, ozone will oxidize the bromide ions in the water to generate bromate, and bromate is listed as a Group 2B potential carcinogen. By setting up a filtration device, it is beneficial to remove the bromate present in the ozone water and ensure its safety. Attached Figure Description

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ozone flushing therapy device provided in this embodiment includes a device shell 1, a mixing container, a water inlet pipe 3, a water outlet pipe 4, an ozone gas supply component 5, a control unit 6, a heating device 7, and a filter device 8.

[0029] The mixing container, ozone supply assembly 5, control unit 6 and heating device 7 are all housed inside the device housing 1, and the upper part of the device housing 1 is provided with a top cover (not shown in the figure); the filter device 8 is located on the outside of the device housing 1, which facilitates the replacement of the filter element when needed.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mixing container is a gas-water mixer 2. The gas-water mixer 2 is provided with a water inlet 21, a water outlet 22, and an air inlet 23. The water inlet 21, the water outlet 22, and the air inlet 23 are all connected to the interior of the gas-water mixer 2.

[0031] The outlet of the ozone supply assembly 5 is connected to the inlet 23 via a first air pipe 53, for supplying ozone gas into the mixing container. Specifically, the ozone supply assembly 5 includes an air pump 51 and an ozone generator 52. The air pump 51 is connected to the inlet of the ozone generator 52 via a second air pipe 54, and the outlet of the ozone generator 52 is connected to the inlet 23 of the gas-water mixer 2 via the first air pipe 53. In this embodiment, the air pump 51 is a dual-head air pump with two inlets and two outlets.

The heating device 7 is located upstream of the air-water mixer 2 and downstream of the water pump 9, for heating the water supplied by the water pump 9 into warm water at a temperature of about 30°C, ensuring that it will not irritate the patient during rinsing and improving comfort.

[0033] The outlet pipe 4 includes a first outlet section 41 and a second outlet section 42. One end of the first outlet section 41 is connected to the outlet end 22 of the gas-water mixer 2, and the other end is connected to the inlet end of the filter device 8, for discharging the generated ozone water into the filter device 8. The filter device 8 is preferably an activated carbon filter device, used to remove bromate from the ozone water, which helps improve its safety. One end of the second outlet section 42 is connected to the outlet end of the filter device 8, and the other end of the second outlet section 42 is provided with a flushing connection pipe 43, a drain pipe 44, and a valve 45. The flushing connection pipe 43 and the drain pipe 44 are arranged in parallel and are both connected to the second outlet section 42. The flushing connection pipe 43 extends outward through the side wall of the device housing 1 for connecting to the flushing handle; the drain pipe 44 extends outward through the side wall of the device housing 1 for draining waste during the disinfection process of the internal pipelines of the ozone flushing therapy device.

[0034] The control unit 6 is electrically connected to the water pump 9, the heating device 7, the air pump 51, the ozone generator 52, and the valve 45, respectively.

[0035] The control unit 6 is equipped with a disinfection mode and a rinsing mode. Before each rinsing mode is activated, the system defaults to activating the disinfection mode first to avoid insufficient disinfection time or forgetting the disinfection operation due to human factors. The disinfection mode includes opening the drain pipe 44 and continuing for a preset time while the rinsing connection pipe 43 is closed. The preset time is 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or 60 seconds, etc., and can also be set according to actual needs.

[0036] The disinfection mode also includes activating the water pump 9, the air pump 51 and the ozone generator 52, so that water and ozone gas are mixed to generate ozone water, which flows along the drain pipe 4 and is eventually discharged from the sewage pipe 44.

[0037] The flushing mode includes starting the water pump 9, the air pump 51 and the ozone generator 52, while opening the flushing connection pipe 43 and keeping the drain pipe 44 closed, so that water and ozone gas are mixed to produce ozone water, which flows along the drain pipe 4 and is eventually discharged from the flushing connection pipe 43 to the flushing handle.

[0038] In one embodiment, valve 45 is a three-way solenoid valve connected to the second water outlet section 42. The inlet of the three-way solenoid valve is connected to the second water outlet section 42, and the two outlets of the three-way solenoid valve are connected to the flushing connection pipe 43 and the sewage pipe 44, respectively.

[0039] In another embodiment, valve 45 includes a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve. The first solenoid valve is connected to the flushing connection pipe 43, and the second solenoid valve is connected to the drain pipe 44. Both the first and second solenoid valves are electrically connected to the control unit 6.

A flow chamber 241 is provided within the body 24, with an inlet end 21 and an outlet end 22 respectively connected and disposed at opposite ends of the flow chamber 241. The aerator 25 is preferably an aeration stone, disposed between the two ends of the flow chamber 241, and connected to the air inlet end 23. Water enters from the inlet end 21, passes through the aerator 25, and flows out from the outlet end 22. During this process, the ozone gas discharged from the aerator 25 mixes with the flowing water to form ozone water. The ozone water in this embodiment is ready to use immediately, requiring no waiting or storage, thus ensuring the freshness of the ozone water and preventing bacterial growth in the water within a closed, humid space after ozone decomposition.

[0041] The main body 24 has a nozzle 2411 in the flow chamber 241. The nozzle 2411 is located on the side of the aerator 25 near the water inlet end 21. The inner diameter of the nozzle 2411 gradually decreases from the end near the water inlet end 21 to the other end.

[0042] In one embodiment, the aerator 25 is cylindrical, and an annular first mixing chamber 2412 is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the aerator 25 and the inner wall of the flow chamber 241. The first mixing chamber 2412 is connected to the nozzle 2411 and the water outlet 22.

[0043] In another embodiment, the aerator 25 is annular and its outer peripheral wall is in close contact with the cavity wall of the flow chamber 241. A second mixing chamber is provided inside the aerator 25, and both ends of the second mixing chamber are connected to the flow chamber 241.

[0044] In another embodiment, the aerator 25 is annular and a preset gap is maintained between the outer peripheral wall of the aerator 25 and the cavity wall of the flow chamber 241. In this case, a first mixing chamber and a second mixing chamber are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the aerator 25.

[0045] The main body 24 includes a first housing 242, a second housing 243, and a mounting bracket 244. The second housing 243 is detachably connected to both the first housing 242 and the mounting bracket 244, and the mounting bracket 244 is disposed inside the first housing 242 and the second housing 243. The end of the aerator 25 facing away from the nozzle 2411 is connected to the mounting bracket 244. Specifically: The first housing 242 has an internal thread structure 2421 on its inner side at one end, and the second housing 243 has an external thread structure 2431 on its outer side at one end. The internal thread structure 2421 is connected to the external thread structure 2431. The other end of the second housing 243 has a water outlet 2432 and an annular step 2433. The annular step 2433 is located on the inner wall of the water outlet 2432. The mounting bracket 244 has a first mounting ring 2441 and a second mounting ring 2442 at both ends, and a plurality of clearance holes 2443 are provided between the first mounting ring 2441 and the second mounting ring 2442. The first mounting ring 2441 has a plurality of elastic buckles 24411. The first mounting ring 2441 is inserted into the water outlet 2432, and the elastic buckles 24411 are engaged with the annular step 2433. The air inlet end 23 is configured as an air inlet pipe. The first end of the air inlet pipe protrudes out of the outer side of the second housing 243, and the second end of the air inlet pipe passes through the clearance hole 2443 and extends into the second mounting ring 2442. The mounting part of the aerator 25 is inserted into the second mounting ring 2442 and connected to the second end of the air inlet pipe.

[0046] In another embodiment, the mixing container includes a water tank and an aerator, with the aerator disposed inside the water tank. Water is pre-stored in the water tank, and the aerator is positioned below the water surface. After ozone gas is introduced, the ozone gas mixes with the static water to form ozone water.

[0047] In summary, this invention, by setting up a mixing container to mix ozone gas and water, allows the ozone gas to dissolve in the water, forming ozone water with a certain bactericidal ability; by setting up a flushing connection pipe to connect with the flushing handle, and by setting up an independent drain port, it facilitates the disinfection and drainage operations of the internal pipelines of the ozone flushing treatment device; by setting a disinfection mode, the system defaults to disinfection and drainage before flushing treatment, avoiding insufficient disinfection time or forgetting the disinfection operation due to human error, which can effectively reduce the risk of cross-infection and improve the treatment effect.

[0048] Finally, it should be emphasized that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
