The exhaled breath of a person needs to be introduced into the detection system through the exhaled breath sampling device. Common exhaled breath sampling devices include nasal cannula, mask and other structural forms.

[0004] In some areas of respiratory detection, users are required to wear a breath sampling device for a period of time to facilitate sampling by the detection system, usually ranging from a few seconds to tens of minutes. However, existing breath sampling devices generally have problems such as inconvenient wearing, air leakage and easy falling off, which brings inconvenience to users and a bad user experience, especially for infants and young children who have no autonomous control awareness.

[0013] Furthermore, the pipeline assembly also includes a collar, and the collar is slidably mounted on the first pipeline and the second pipeline.

[0014] Furthermore, the pipeline assembly includes a connector, which is sleeved on the first pipeline and is provided with an inserting hole, and the second pipeline is inserted into the inserting hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the connector end is provided with a locking structure, and the locking structure is used to cooperate with the connector bracket in the detection device.

[0042] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] The breath sampling device provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a sampling end 100, a pipeline assembly 200 and a connector end 300; the sampling end 100 includes a sampling head 110 and a cavity portion 120, one end of the sampling head 110 is connected to the cavity portion 120, and the other end is used for sampling; the pipeline assembly 200 includes a first pipeline 210 and a second pipeline 220, one end of the first pipeline 210 is connected to the cavity portion 120, and the other end is connected to the connector end 300; one end of the second pipeline 220 is connected to the cavity portion 120, and the other end is connected to the first pipeline 210, and the second pipeline 220 is a closed pipeline.

[0045] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 3 The first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 are both plugged into the cavity portion 120, and the inner diameters of the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 need to be small enough, and try not to allow gas diversion or mixing during collection, which can greatly reduce diffusion.

[0046] In order to ensure that the gas in the air volume is real alveolar gas (or not mixed with too much non-alveolar gas), during the sampling stage of the exhaled breath sampling device, it is necessary to try to avoid the mixing and diffusion between the gas segments collected at different times. The second pipeline 220 is a closed pipeline, which can be used to avoid gas diversion and mixing during collection. It greatly reduces the diffusion and ensures that the detection system can capture the alveolar gas segment more accurately for detection later, which helps to improve the detection accuracy. When using the exhaled breath sampling device, the end of the sampling head 110 is extended to the nostrils of the sampled person, and the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 are respectively wrapped around the two ears of the sampled person. The exhaled breath sampling device is fixed to the head of the sampled person through the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220, without the need for auxiliary fixation such as tape; the wearing method is simple, and because the two ears fix the exhaled breath sampling device at the same time, the exhaled breath sampling device is not easy to fall off the head of the sampled person.

[0047] The structure and shape of the breath sampling device are described in detail below:

[0048] In an optional solution of the present invention, the cavity portion 120 is configured to be an oblong shape, and the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 are respectively connected to two ends of the cavity portion 120 .

[0049] Specifically, see Figure 3 The inner diameter of the cavity portion 120 gradually decreases from the middle position to both ends.

[0050] The cavity portion 120 is configured to be oblong, so that the cavity portion 120 can be stably placed under the nostrils during use.

[0051] In an optional solution of the present invention, the axis of the sampling head 110 is perpendicular to the axis of the cavity portion 120 , and the sampling head 110 is connected to the middle of the cavity portion 120 .

[0052] Specifically, the sampling head 110 is configured as a hollow tubular structure, and the axial direction of the sampling head 110 is perpendicular to the length direction of the cavity portion 120 , which is more ergonomic.

[0053] In an optional solution of the present invention, the pipeline assembly 200 further includes a collar 230 , and the collar 230 is slidably mounted on the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 .

[0054] Specifically, between the connection point of the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 and the sampling end 100 , a slidable collar 230 is sleeved on the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 .

[0055] The collar 230 facilitates tightening the distance between the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 during wearing, so as to facilitate more stable wearing of the breath sampling device.

[0056] In an optional solution of the present invention, the pipeline assembly 200 includes a connector 240 , which is sleeved on the first pipeline 210 and has an inserting hole 241 , and the second pipeline 220 is inserted into the inserting hole 241 .

[0057] Specifically, the second pipeline 220 is set as a closed pipeline. The second pipeline 220 can be closed at the position of the cavity 120, or at the connection between the second pipeline 220 and the first pipeline 210. In this embodiment, see Figure 2 , the plug hole 241 is set as a blind hole, that is, when the second pipeline 220 is inserted into the plug hole 241, the second pipeline 220 is connected to the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 is closed at the same time. It is worth noting that after the second pipeline 220 is closed at any place, because the second pipeline 220 is closed and the first pipeline 210 is unobstructed, the gas flowing through the sampling head 110 and entering the cavity 120 under the action of pressure will flow into the first pipeline 210; there is no exhaled gas flowing in the second pipeline 220, and the function of the second pipeline 220 is mainly to facilitate the wearing of the exhaled sampling device.

[0058] The connector 240 not only realizes the connection between the second pipeline 220 and the first pipeline 210 , but also realizes the sealing of the second pipeline 220 .

[0059] In an optional solution of the present invention, the connector end 300 is provided with a locking structure, and the locking structure is used to cooperate with the connector bracket 400 in the detection device.

[0060] Specifically, the connector end 300 is used to cooperate with the connector bracket 400 in the detection device to input the exhaled air sampled by the exhaled air sampling device into the detection device for detection.

[0061] The locking structure can prevent the joint end 300 from accidentally falling off the detection device, thereby reducing the risk of gas collection failure.

[0062] In an optional solution of the present invention, the locking structure is provided as a limiting protrusion 310 , the joint bracket 400 is provided with a limiting hole 420 , and the limiting protrusion 310 is inserted into the limiting hole 420 .

[0063] Specifically, see Figure 4 The connector end 300 is set to be rectangular, and a limit protrusion 310 is raised on one side. A limit hole 420 is opened at the corresponding position of the connector bracket 400 of the detection system. After the connector end 300 is inserted into the connector bracket 400, the limit protrusion 310 and the limit hole 420 are matched and engaged by rotating the connector end 300, thereby achieving a locking effect. After locking, the breath sampling device is difficult to fall off in the event of accidental dragging. When disassembling after the gas collection is completed, just rotate it in the opposite direction and unplug it, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0064] In an optional solution of the present invention, the connector end 300 is installed with an identification member 320, and the identification member 320 is used for signal connection with the connector bracket 400 in the detection device.

[0065] Specifically, the identification element 320 is configured as an identification chip.

[0066] The identification chip is connected to the connector bracket 400 by signals, so as to realize the function of identifying the number of times the connector end 300 has been used, thereby preventing the same breath sampling device from being repeatedly used by different persons and causing cross contamination.

[0067] In an optional solution of the present invention, a sealing ring 330 is provided at one end of the joint end 300 away from the first pipeline 210 .

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sealing ring 330 is configured in a ring shape.

[0069] After the connector end 300 of the breath sampling device is plugged into the connector bracket 400, the presence of the sealing ring 330 can prevent leakage during the gas sampling process of the detection system, thereby preventing the detection result from being affected.

[0070] Embodiment 2

[0071] The detection system provided in the embodiment of the utility model includes the breath sampling device in the first embodiment, and therefore also has all the beneficial effects in the first embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0072] In an optional solution of the embodiment of the utility model, the detection system includes a detection device, the detection device is provided with a connector bracket 400, and the connector bracket 400 is provided with a probe 410; the connector end 300 in the breath sampling device is inserted into the connector bracket 400 and is connected to the probe 410 for signal.

[0073] Specifically, the basic logic of the detection system is: through the change of CO2 concentration in the exhaled gas, it can be determined whether the part of the gas is alveolar gas. The exhaled gas collected by the exhaled sampling device is transmitted to the detection system, and each section flows through the CO2 sensor to detect the concentration of each section. There is a three-way valve downstream of the CO2 sensor, one way leads to the gas volume or detection element, and the other way leads to the environment. For the gas section that meets the judgment threshold, the three-way valve is switched to connect with the gas volume or detection element, and the part of the gas is collected in the gas volume or detection element for detecting the component to be tested. For the gas section that does not meet the judgment threshold, the three-way valve is switched to connect with the environment and discharged directly. Furthermore, the connector bracket 400 is installed with an information identification PCB, and a probe 410 is provided at the position of the PCB corresponding to the identification chip of the connector end 300.

[0074] When the connector end 300 is plugged into place, the identification chip and the probe 410 are in contact with each other for signal connection; through this structure, the function of identifying the number of times the connector end 300 has been used can be realized, which can avoid cross contamination caused by repeated use of the same breath sampling device by different people.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
