Description

Technical Field

[0002] Nebulization therapy is a drug delivery method that transforms drug solutions or suspensions into inhalable aerosols (micro-droplets or solid particles). Patients inhale these drug particles directly, allowing them to deposit in the respiratory tract and lungs, thus producing local or systemic therapeutic effects. Traditional Chinese medicine nebulization inhalation monitoring devices primarily address two major pain points in traditional nebulization therapy: the complex characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine aerosols, making standardization difficult; and poor patient compliance with inhalation methods, making efficacy assessment quantifiable. Therefore, it is not merely a nebulizer, but an intelligent system integrating monitoring, feedback, and data management.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] 1. The canister is provided with an atomized drug output port and a main cavity; the two ends of the atomized drug output port are respectively connected to the main cavity and the external environment; the main cavity is used to hold the liquid to be atomized; it can be understood that the purpose of setting the main cavity is to avoid the built-in liquid to be atomized being contaminated by the external environment and to prevent the liquid to be atomized from spilling and wasting the drug; while the atomized drug output port needs to be set at intervals with the main cavity along the direction of anti-gravity to avoid the liquid from spilling along the atomized drug output port;

[0024] 2. The nebulizer is movably installed within the main cavity, allowing its input end to approach or move away from the nebulized medication. The input end of the nebulizer is connected to the main cavity. The output end of the nebulizer faces the nebulized medication output port and is connected to it. Clearly, when the input end of the nebulizer moves away from the nebulized medication until the liquid contact is severed, the nebulizer is in a paused nebulization state, and its output end stops producing nebulized medication. Conversely, when the input end of the nebulizer approaches the nebulized medication until it contacts or is immersed in it, the nebulizer is in a nebulization state, and its output end begins producing nebulized medication, which is discharged into the external environment through the nebulized medication output port.

[0025] 3. The drive end of the linear drive mechanism is installed in the main cavity, and the output end of the linear drive mechanism is connected to the atomizer. It can be understood that, in order to achieve precise control and rapid response, the linear drive mechanism can be selected from components that are easy to control, such as electric push rods, gear transmissions and hydraulic cylinders.

[0026] 4. Based on the fact that the breathing mask is connected to the nebulized drug output port; it can be understood that, in order to further reduce drug waste, the breathing mask is now set to fit tightly against the skin around the patient's mouth to prevent the nebulized drug from diffusing into the air;

[0027] 5. A respiratory rate monitor (based on existing technology, the respiratory rate monitor can be an instrument that measures respiratory rate through thoracic impedance method, such as IntelliVue MX / S MP series, CARESCAPE B series, B650BeneVision N series, iPM series, etc., or some instruments that monitor respiratory rate through direct airflow measurement and nasal airflow pressure sensor) is installed on the breathing mask. The respiratory rate monitor is used to monitor the patient's respiratory rate. It is understood that during the exhalation phase, the nebulized medication is easily affected by the airflow generated by exhalation and flows back into the main cavity. Due to the complex characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine aerosols, some traditional Chinese medicines have viscous and easily deposited components, which leads to the deposition of the nebulized medication in the gas pipeline during the backflow process, resulting in medication waste. Therefore, by monitoring the patient's respiratory rate with the respiratory rate monitor, the control center can be prompted to produce and expel the nebulized medication during the patient's inhalation phase, and the patient can quickly inhale the nebulized medication during inhalation, thereby reducing medication waste.

[0028] 6. A data processor (which can be STMicroelectronics STM32H7 series, NXP i.MX RT series crossover processors, or Texas Instruments Sitara AM2x series, etc.) is installed in the canister. The data processor is electrically connected to the respiratory rate monitor and is used to process the respiratory rate information collected by the respiratory rate monitor. It can be understood that the data processor is used to drive and provide a data processing platform for the data collected by the respiratory rate monitor, so that the control center can control the start and stop of the nebulizer.

[0029] 7. Based on the control center being electrically connected to the data processor and the linear drive mechanism, the control center is used to adjust the distance between the input end of the nebulizer and the drug to be nebulized according to the data processing results of the data processor. Obviously, with this setting, the linear drive mechanism can quickly respond to the respiratory rate data collected by the respiratory rate monitor, thereby accurately and quickly driving the nebulizer so that the nebulizer can quickly produce nebulized drug solution before the patient's inspiratory phase, thereby further reducing drug waste.

The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0038] See Figures 1-4 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine nebulization inhalation monitoring device, comprising: a canister 1, a nebulizer 2, a linear drive mechanism 3, a breathing mask 4, a respiratory rate monitor 5, a data processor 6, and a control center 7.

[0039] The canister 1 is provided with an atomized drug output port 11 and a main cavity 12; the two ends of the atomized drug output port 11 are respectively connected to the main cavity 12 and the external environment; the main cavity 12 is used to hold the liquid to be atomized; it can be understood that the purpose of setting the main cavity 12 is to avoid the built-in liquid to be atomized being contaminated by the external environment and to prevent the liquid to be atomized from spilling and wasting the drug; while the atomized drug output port 11 needs to be set at intervals with the main cavity 12 in the direction of anti-gravity to avoid the liquid from spilling along the atomized drug output port 11;

[0040] The nebulizer 2 is movably installed within the main cavity 12, allowing its input end to be close to or away from the liquid to be nebulized. The input end of the nebulizer 2 is connected to the main cavity 12. The output end of the nebulizer 2 faces the nebulized drug output port 11, and is connected to the nebulized drug output port 11. Clearly, when the input end of the nebulizer 2 is far from the liquid to be nebulized until the liquid contact is severed, the nebulizer 2 is in a paused nebulization state, and its output end stops producing nebulized liquid. Conversely, when the input end of the nebulizer 2 is close to the liquid to be nebulized until it contacts or is immersed in the liquid, the nebulizer 2 is in a nebulization state, and its output end begins to produce nebulized liquid, which is discharged into the external environment through the nebulized drug output port 11.

[0041] The drive end of the linear drive mechanism 3 is installed inside the main cavity 12, and the output end of the linear drive mechanism 3 is connected to the atomizer 2. It can be understood that, in order to achieve precise control and rapid response, the linear drive mechanism 3 can be selected from components that are easy to control, such as electric push rod 31, gear transmission and hydraulic cylinder.

[0042] The breathing mask 4 is connected to the nebulized drug output port 11; it can be understood that, in order to further reduce drug waste, the breathing mask 4 is now set to fit tightly against the skin around the patient's mouth to prevent the nebulized drug from diffusing into the air.

[0043] A respiratory rate monitor 5 (based on existing technology, the respiratory rate monitor 5 can be an instrument that measures respiratory rate by thoracic impedance method, such as IntelliVue MX / S MP series, CARESCAPE B series, B650BeneVision N series, iPM series, etc., or an instrument that monitors respiratory rate by direct airflow measurement or nasal airflow pressure sensor) is installed on the breathing mask 4. The respiratory rate monitor 5 is used to monitor the patient's respiratory rate. It is understood that during the exhalation phase, the nebulized medicine is easily affected by the airflow generated by exhalation and flows back into the main cavity 12. Due to the complex characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine aerosols, some traditional Chinese medicines have viscous and easily deposited components, which cause the medicine to be deposited in the gas pipeline during the backflow process, resulting in waste of medicine. Therefore, by monitoring the patient's respiratory rate through the respiratory rate monitor 5, the control center 7 can be prompted to produce and expel the nebulized medicine during the patient's inhalation phase, so that the patient can quickly inhale the nebulized medicine during inhalation, thereby reducing drug waste.

[0044] The data processor 6 (which can be an STMicroelectronics STM32H7 series, NXP i.MX RT series crossover processor, or Texas Instruments Sitara AM2x series, etc.) is installed in the canister 1. The data processor 6 is electrically connected to the respiratory rate monitor 5. The data processor 6 is used to process the respiratory rate information collected by the respiratory rate monitor 5. It can be understood that the data processor 6 is used to drive the data processing platform for the data collected by the respiratory rate monitor 5, so that the control center 7 can control the start and stop of the nebulizer 2.

[0045] The control center 7 is electrically connected to the data processor 6 and the linear drive mechanism 3. The control center 7 is used to adjust the distance between the input end of the nebulizer 2 and the drug to be nebulized according to the data processing result of the data processor 6. Obviously, with this configuration, the linear drive mechanism 3 can quickly respond to the respiratory rate data collected by the respiratory rate monitor 5, thereby accurately and quickly driving the nebulizer 2 so that the nebulizer 2 can quickly produce nebulized drug solution before the patient's inspiratory phase, thereby further reducing drug waste.

[0046] During use, the user needs to pour the medication to be nebulized into the canister 1, so that the main chamber 12 can hold the medication (it does not need to be completely filled, leaving enough room for the nebulizer 2 to move). After the liquid is loaded, the patient needs to put on the breathing mask to form a sealed drug absorption chamber. At the same time, the breathing mask needs to be connected to the main chamber 12. At this time, the respiratory rate monitor 5, the data processor 6 (it can be understood that the respiratory rate monitor 5 needs to be "warmed up" in advance to perform preliminary data assessment of the patient's respiratory rate, so as to facilitate the later adjustment of the nebulizer 2's start and stop frequency) and the control center are activated in sequence. 7. After startup is complete, start the nebulizer 2. When the patient is in the expiratory phase, the control center 7 controls the linear drive device to drive the input end of the nebulizer 2 away from the nebulized drug solution to pause nebulization. When the patient is in the inspiratory phase, the control center 7 controls the linear drive device to drive the input end of the nebulizer 2 to approach and contact the nebulized drug solution (this process needs to be slightly advanced so that the nebulized drug solution fills the main cavity 12) to start nebulization. At this time, the nebulized drug solution is affected by the airflow generated by the patient's inhalation and enters the human body along the output end of the nebulizer 2 → the nebulized drug output hole 11 → the breathing mask 4.

[0047] 1. The canister 1 is provided with an atomized drug output port 11 and a main cavity 12; the two ends of the atomized drug output port 11 are respectively connected to the main cavity 12 and the external environment; the main cavity 12 is used to hold the atomized drug solution; it can be understood that the purpose of setting the main cavity 12 is to avoid the built-in atomized drug solution being contaminated by the external environment and to prevent the atomized drug solution from spilling and wasting the drug; while the atomized drug output port 11 needs to be set at intervals with the main cavity 12 in the direction of anti-gravity to avoid the drug solution from spilling along the atomized drug output port 11;

[0048] 2. The nebulizer 2 is movably installed within the main cavity 12, allowing its input end to be close to or away from the liquid to be atomized. The input end of the nebulizer 2 is connected to the main cavity 12. The output end of the nebulizer 2 faces the atomized drug output port 11, and is connected to the atomized drug output port 11. Clearly, when the input end of the nebulizer 2 is far from the liquid to be atomized until the liquid contact is severed, the nebulizer 2 is in a paused atomization state, and its output end stops producing atomized liquid. Conversely, when the input end of the nebulizer 2 is close to the liquid to be atomized until it contacts or is immersed in the liquid, the nebulizer 2 is in an atomization state, and its output end begins to produce atomized liquid, which is discharged into the external environment through the atomized drug output port 11.

[0049] 3. The driving end of the linear drive mechanism 3 is installed in the main cavity 12, and the output end of the linear drive mechanism 3 is connected to the atomizer 2. It can be understood that, in order to achieve precise control and fast response, the linear drive mechanism 3 can be selected from components that are easy to control, such as electric push rod 31, gear transmission and hydraulic cylinder.

[0050] 4. Based on the fact that the breathing mask 4 is connected to the nebulized drug output port 11; it can be understood that, in order to further reduce drug waste, the breathing mask 4 is now set to fit tightly against the skin around the patient's mouth to prevent the nebulized drug from diffusing into the air;

[0051] 5. A respiratory rate monitor 5 (based on existing technology, the respiratory rate monitor 5 can be an instrument that measures respiratory rate by thoracic impedance method, such as IntelliVue MX / S MP series, CARESCAPE B series, B650BeneVision N series, iPM series, etc., or some instruments that monitor respiratory rate by direct airflow measurement or nasal airflow pressure sensor) is installed on the breathing mask 4. The respiratory rate monitor 5 is used to monitor the patient's respiratory rate. It is understood that during the exhalation phase, the nebulized medicine is easily affected by the airflow generated by exhalation and flows back into the main cavity 12. Due to the complex characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine aerosols, some traditional Chinese medicines have viscous and easily deposited components, which cause the medicine to be deposited in the gas pipeline during the backflow process, resulting in waste of medicine. Therefore, by monitoring the patient's respiratory rate through the respiratory rate monitor 5, the control center 7 can be prompted to produce and expel the nebulized medicine during the patient's inhalation phase, so that the patient can quickly inhale the nebulized medicine during inhalation, thereby reducing drug waste.

[0052] 6. The data processor 6 (which can be an STMicroelectronics STM32H7 series, NXP i.MX RT series crossover processor, or Texas Instruments Sitara AM2x series, etc.) is installed in the canister 1. The data processor 6 is electrically connected to the respiratory rate monitor 5. The data processor 6 is used to process the respiratory rate information collected by the respiratory rate monitor 5. It can be understood that the data processor 6 is used to drive the data processing platform for the data collected by the respiratory rate monitor 5, so that the control center 7 can control the start and stop of the nebulizer 2.

[0053] 7. The control center 7 is electrically connected to the data processor 6 and the linear drive mechanism 3. The control center 7 is used to adjust the distance between the input end of the nebulizer 2 and the drug to be nebulized according to the data processing result of the data processor 6. Obviously, with this setting, the linear drive mechanism 3 can quickly respond to the respiratory rate data collected by the respiratory rate monitor 5, thereby accurately and quickly driving the nebulizer 2 so that the nebulizer 2 can quickly produce nebulized drug solution before the patient's inspiratory phase, thereby further reducing drug waste.

[0054] See Figures 1-2 Preferably, the tank body 1 includes a medicine storage tank 13, a temporary storage tank, and a component mounting tank 15 connected in sequence; the medicine storage tank 13 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 131; the medicine storage tank 13 is provided with a liquid pump 132, the liquid pump 132 is electrically connected to the control center 7, and the input end of the liquid pump 132 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 131; the temporary storage tank is provided with a secondary chamber 141, the secondary chamber 141 is connected to the output end of the liquid pump 132, and the temporary storage tank is used to temporarily store the medicine to be atomized for use by the atomizer 2; the component mounting tank 15 is provided with a component mounting cavity 151, and the input end of the component mounting cavity 151 is connected to the secondary cavity 141; the atomizer... The nebulizer 2 is slidably installed in the component mounting cavity 151 so that the input end of the nebulizer 2 can enter and exit the secondary cavity 141; the nebulized drug output port 11 is provided in the component mounting canister 15. It can be understood that this arrangement is to facilitate the user to clean the drug deposits in each canister 1 after the use of the traditional Chinese medicine nebulization inhalation monitoring device, so as to avoid the deposited drug contaminating the next round of nebulized drug solution and causing drug waste; in addition, this arrangement is also to separate the nebulizer 2 and the liquid storage cavity 131, to prevent the nebulizer 2 from directly nebulizing the drug solution in the liquid storage cavity 131 and producing a large amount of nebulized drug solution, so as to avoid the patient being unable to inhale at one time and causing drug waste.

[0055] See Figure 2Preferably, the atomizer 2 includes a vibrating screen assembly 21 and a drive base 22; the vibrating screen assembly 21 is mounted on the drive base 22 on the side near the secondary cavity 141; the drive base 22 is provided with a moving structure 221, the component mounting cavity 151 is provided with a guide member 152, the moving structure 221 is slidably nested in the guide member 152, and the guide member 152 extends along the height direction of the component mounting tank 15; the linear drive mechanism 3 is mounted on the component mounting tank 15, and the linear drive mechanism 3 drives and connects to the drive base 22 so that the vibrating screen assembly 21 can enter and exit the secondary cavity 141; it can be understood that the vibrating screen assembly 21 mainly generates mist particles by vibrating and cutting the liquid to be atomized through precision microporous film; obviously, the guide member 152 is used to regulate the travel trajectory of the moving structure 221 and protect the moving structure 221, avoiding the vibrating screen assembly 21 from loosening of the combined structure after multiple vibrations, causing dangers such as derailment or even falling.

[0056] See Figure 4 Preferably, the guide member 152 has a member receiving cavity 153, and the driving end of the linear drive mechanism 3 is installed on the inner wall of the member receiving cavity 153; the guide member 152 has a clearance structure 154, the two ends of the clearance structure 154 are respectively connected to the member receiving cavity 153 and the member mounting cavity 151, and the output end of the linear drive mechanism 3 passes through the clearance structure 154 and drives the connection to the drive base 22; it can be understood that since the flow direction of the atomized gas is uncertain and it is easy to splash everywhere, the member receiving cavity 153 is used to protect the linear drive mechanism 3, avoid the linear drive mechanism 3 from being immersed in a humid environment for a long time, and prevent internal corrosion and rust from causing drive failure and accuracy reduction.

[0057] See Figure 2 and Figure 4Preferably, the avoidance structure 154 is a guide groove, which extends along the length of the moving structure 221; the linear drive mechanism 3 includes a drive slider 32 and an electric push rod 31; the drive slider 32 is slidably nested in the guide groove, and the drive base 22 is detachably installed on the drive slider 32; the drive end of the electric push rod 31 is disposed on the bottom wall of the component receiving cavity 153, and the output end of the electric push rod 31 drives and connects to the drive slider 32; the electric push rod 31 is electrically connected to the control center 7 so as to control the sliding of the drive slider 32 according to the processing result of the data processor 6; obviously, the electric push rod 31 has a clever structure, high control precision and stable output, and can not only be housed in the component receiving cavity, but also drive the nebulizer 2 to rise and fall stably and accurately, so that the nebulizer 2 can quickly and frequently switch between start and stop states, thereby reducing drug waste.

[0058] See Figure 2 Preferably, one of the drive slider 32 and the drive base 22 is provided with a mounting rod 321, and the other is provided with an elastic buckle 222, with the mounting rod 321 nested within the elastic buckle 222; the drive base 22 is supported by the mounting rod 321; obviously, this arrangement is to simplify the overall structure and avoid an overly complex internal design that would hinder the atomizer 2 from rising and falling; in addition, the elastic buckle makes it easy for the user to disassemble and assemble the drive base 22 and the atomizer 2 for cleaning and protection after use.

[0059] See Figure 2 and Figure 4Preferably, multiple guide members 152 are provided, and the multiple guide members 152 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the component mounting cavity 151; multiple moving structures 221 are provided, and the multiple moving structures 221 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the drive base 22, and each moving structure 221 is slidably nested in a corresponding guide member 152; multiple drive sliders 32 are provided, and each drive slider 32 is slidably nested in a corresponding guide groove; multiple electric push rods 31 are provided, and the driving end of each electric push rod 31 is respectively disposed in a corresponding component receiving cavity 153, and the output end of each electric push rod 31 is respectively driven and connected to a corresponding drive groove.

Each elastic buckle 222 elastically engages with a corresponding mounting rod 321, so that the drive base 22 is supported by multiple mounting rods 321. Obviously, this arrangement is to improve the lifting stability of the drive base 22 and avoid the output path deviation of the atomizer 2 caused by the tilting of the components due to unilateral drive. In addition, the multiple elastic buckles 222 can also improve the connection stability between the drive base 22 and the drive slider 32, and prevent the drive base 22 from falling off and the atomizer 2 from being damaged due to structural fatigue caused by frequent lifting.

The bottom wall of 2 and the bottom wall of the liquid medicine screen 213; the vibration generator 214 is electrically connected to the control center 7; it is understood that, due to the high cost of the liquid medicine screen 213, it needs to be protected by the mounting collar 211; in addition, the vibration generator 214 needs to be selected to generate high-frequency vibration, so as to vibrate the liquid medicine screen 213, so that it can make high-frequency up and down movement, cut the liquid medicine to be atomized, so that the part of the liquid medicine to be atomized is cut by the vibration of the liquid medicine screen 213 and obtains the driving force for upward movement, so that the cut liquid medicine enters the atomized drug output hole 11 through the driving force and is discharged into the human body.

[0061] See Figure 3Preferably, the vibrating screen assembly 21 further includes an impact absorption ring 215, which is disposed on the top wall of the mounting groove 212 and abuts against the top wall of the liquid medicine screen 213; the vibration generator 214 is a piezoelectric ceramic ring, which extends circumferentially along the mounting groove 212 and is electrically connected to the control center 7. The piezoelectric ceramic ring can generate high-frequency periodic deformation through high-frequency current; it can be understood that the impact absorption ring 215 is used to further improve the protective effect of the mounting ring 211 on the liquid medicine screen 213 and prevent it from being damaged and causing economic losses; more importantly, the periodic deformation of the piezoelectric ceramic ring is controllable, and this function can be quickly started and stopped. It can be understood that by utilizing this characteristic, the nebulizer 2 can switch its start and stop states more quickly, thereby further reducing drug waste.

[0062] See Figure 2 Preferably, multiple mounting collars 211 are provided, and the multiple mounting collars 211 are spaced apart along the thickness direction of the drive base 22.

The bottom wall of the corresponding liquid screen 213 is provided with multiple impact absorption rings 215, each of which is respectively disposed on the top wall of the corresponding mounting groove 212 and abuts against the top wall of the corresponding liquid screen 213. This arrangement is to improve the atomization efficiency of the liquid to be atomized. At the same time, since the diameter of each mounting ring 211 decreases sequentially, it can gradually penetrate into the secondary cavity 141 to contact the deeper liquid to be atomized, so that it can be atomized as completely as possible, thereby reducing drug waste.
