DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following is a further detailed description of a combined device for synchronously exercising lung and brain functions proposed by the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the utility model will become more apparent according to the following description and claims.

[0023] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides a combined device for synchronously exercising lung and brain functions, including a synchronously operating lung breathing exercise component 1 and a brain-hand cooperation exercise component 2, which are respectively used for exercising the user's lung breathing function and brain-hand cooperation function, and prevent or restore lung diseases and dementia through scientific exercise methods. A back panel is provided on the back of the lung breathing exercise component 1 and the brain-hand cooperation exercise component 2 to provide a background color for the lung breathing exercise component 1 and the brain-hand cooperation exercise component 2 and to achieve a fixing effect.

[0024] Among them, a vertically arranged support pipe 3 is provided in the middle of the lung breathing exercise component 1, and the support pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the back plate, thereby providing stable support for the lung breathing exercise component 1. One end of the support pipe 3 is connected to the blowing component 4, and the other end is connected to the air outlet pipeline 5. The blowing component 4 is used for the human body to exhale gas into the support pipe 3 through the mouth. After flowing through the support pipe 3, the gas further flows into the air outlet pipeline 5 and flows out from the air port opened on the air outlet pipeline 5. Specifically, an extended gas cavity is opened inside the air outlet pipeline 5, and the proximal end of the gas cavity is connected with the air inlet port at one end of the air outlet pipeline 5, and the distal end of the gas cavity is in a closed state, that is, the distal end of the air outlet pipeline 5 is closed, and the air outlet pipeline 5 is provided with a plurality of air outlet pipe openings 6 on the circumferential tube body along the set intervals, and the air outlet pipe openings 6 are intersected and connected with the cavity extending inside the air outlet pipeline 5, and are used for directional discharge of gas flowing to the air outlet pipeline 5, that is, the user exhales gas into the lung breathing exercise component 1 with the help of the blowing component 4, and the gas flows through the supporting pipe 3 and the air outlet pipeline 5 in turn and is discharged from the plurality of air outlet pipe openings 6.

[0025] Windmills 7 are fixedly arranged outside the air holes of several air outlets 6. When the user exhales air into the lung breathing exercise component 1, the air is discharged through the air outlet 6, and the windmills 7 rotate due to the air flow of the air outlet 6, thereby intuitively showing the user's exhalation action. The greater the user's lung capacity, the more the number of rotating windmills 7 and the faster the speed of the windmills 7. The effectiveness of the lung capacity exercise can be measured according to the rotation state of the windmills 7. At the same time, the windmills 7 are used as physical feedback of the user's breathing action, which is very interesting. In this embodiment, the air outlet duct 5 is arranged in a tree-like distribution, and the air outlet duct 5 can be decorated with decorations such as branches and green leaves, so that the lung breathing exercise component 1 is shaped like a tree as a whole, giving the user a visual feeling of lush vitality, increasing the user's interactivity and sustainability during use, and improving the user's pleasure and active exercise interest.

[0026] The brain-hand collaboration training component 2 includes a number of round balls 9 and a box for placing the round balls 9. A criss-cross grid structure is arranged in the box, and then a number of grid units 10 isolated from each other are formed in the box. A single grid unit 10 can accommodate at least one round ball 9. A clamping part 11 is provided. The user can use the fingers to operate the clamping part 11 to clamp the round balls 9 in turn, and move the round balls 9 to the corresponding grid units 10. The clamping part 11 is a pair of tweezers that need to be opened and closed manually. In this process, the user needs to control the fingers to operate the clamping part 11 to accurately clamp the round balls 9, and keep the balance to move the round balls 9 to the grid units 10, which tests the user's finger controllability, concentration and balance. The moving fingers can directly stimulate brain cells, which can effectively slow down the aging rate of brain cells and prevent Alzheimer's disease.

[0027] It is worth noting that the lung breathing exercise component 1 and the brain-hand cooperation exercise component 2 provided in this embodiment can be operated synchronously, that is, the user holds the blowing component 4 of the lung breathing exercise component 1 with one hand and performs exhalation exercise, and the user can operate the brain-hand cooperation exercise component 2 with the other hand to perform brain-hand cooperation exercise. On the one hand, synchronous exercise of lung and brain function can reduce the exercise time for different organs without affecting the exercise effect. On the other hand, more importantly, synchronous operation of the lung breathing exercise component 1 and the brain-hand cooperation exercise component 2 can effectively exercise the user's ability to do two things at the same time, further improve the user's thinking activity and concentration, and after a certain exercise time, when the user focuses on the puzzle game of the brain-hand cooperation exercise component 2, the user can unconsciously perform deep breathing exercises, effectively improve the efficiency of lung breathing exercises and brain-hand cooperation exercises, and develop a habit of healthy breathing, which has a better effect on the prevention and treatment of lung diseases and dementia.

[0028] Preferably, the support pipe 3 and the blowing component 4 are connected through a movable hose 8, and the two ends of the hose 8 are respectively connected to the first port of the support pipe 3 and the air outlet port of the blowing component 4 to achieve a detachable sealed connection to ensure the sealing of the connection between the components, wherein the sealing connection can be achieved by a sealing component such as a sealing ring, or can be achieved by threaded connection, interference fit, etc. between the connecting components. At the same time, because the medical instrument needs to be cleaned and disinfected after use, the hose 8, the support pipe 3 and the blowing component 4 are designed to be easily disassembled, which is convenient for subsequent disassembly and immersion disinfection. During the use of the lung breathing exercise component 1, the operator can hold the blowing component 4, and the blowing component 4 can be freely moved within the length range of the hose 8 relative to the support pipe 3, which is suitable for users of different heights and postures. Furthermore, the second port of the supporting pipe 3 and the air inlet port of the air outlet pipe 5 can also be connected in a detachable sealed manner by using a sealing assembly or a sealing connection method. The sealing assembly described here can use a perforated conical flask silicone plug to ensure the sealing of the connection between the supporting pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 5, thereby limiting the exhaled gas of the human body to be discharged only through the air outlet pipe port 6, and facilitating subsequent disassembly and immersion disinfection operations.

[0029] Preferably, several windmills 7 are marked with different colors from the proximal end to the distal end along the extension direction of the air outlet pipe 5. During the user's exhalation, the gas is preferentially discharged from the air outlet pipe port 6 at the proximal end of the air outlet pipe 5, that is, the windmill 7 close to the proximal end of the air outlet pipe 5 will rotate first, and the rotation speed is the fastest. The closer the windmill 7 is to the distal end of the air outlet pipe 5, the slower the rotation speed. By marking the colors of the windmills 7, the color of the windmill 7 can be used to more intuitively identify the position of the rotating windmill 7, and then it can be used to intuitively measure the human vital capacity index. The colorful windmill has an excellent smart effect, which is easy to attract users to actively participate in exercise.

[0030] Preferably, the ball 9 is provided with several kinds of colors, and several grid units 10 are respectively provided with color marks corresponding to the colors of the ball 9. The colors of the ball 9 and the color marks of the grid units 10 are used to define the corresponding placement relationship between the grid units 10 and the ball 9. By marking the corresponding colors of the ball 9 and the grid units 10, on the one hand, different color settings can be used to enhance the visual stimulation for the user, and on the other hand, color matching can help to train the user's ability to distinguish and active thinking, and effectively improve the training efficiency of the brain-hand cooperation training component 2. Further, the box body is a cubic structure as a whole, and the back end face of the box body is fitted and fixed with the back plate to achieve the fixing effect of the box body, thereby limiting the posture of the box body, and preventing the box body from tipping and sliding when the user operates the brain-hand cooperation training component 2. At the same time, the grid unit 10 is arranged on the top of the box body, and the box body is also provided with several drawers at the bottom of the grid unit 10 to realize the function of placing things, such as the storage of the clamping part 11.

[0031] Preferably, in one embodiment, the blowing component 4 can be configured to have a flexible arc-shaped extension portion that fits the human mouth and cheek on one side of the air inlet port facing the human mouth, thereby effectively reducing the contact surface gap between the air inlet port of the blowing component 4 and the human body surface, preventing gas from escaping when the user exhales, resulting in poor subsequent test results. In another embodiment, the blowing component 4 can be configured to have a cylindrical breathing duct on one side of the air inlet port facing the human mouth, and the diameter of the breathing duct is adapted to the human oral space. When in use, the user fixes the air inlet port of the blowing component 4 by holding it in the mouth, and keeps the air inlet port sealed and isolated from the outer space of the oral cavity by fitting the lips, which also prevents gas from escaping when the user exhales, ensuring the subsequent test results. The blowing components 4 are all made of medical safety materials and will not have adverse effects on the human body.

[0032] The combined device for synchronously exercising lung and brain functions provided by this embodiment can effectively improve the user's lung breathing capacity and brain-hand coordination ability, especially for the prevention and treatment of lung diseases and dementia in the middle-aged and elderly. At the same time, in this embodiment, synchronous exercise devices and methods for different organs are further proposed. The combined device for synchronously exercising lung and brain functions as an overall training module can produce additional beneficial effects, further improve the user's ability to do two things at the same time, help thinking training and improve exercise efficiency. After conducting multiple groups of clinical application verifications, after users regularly used the combined device for synchronously exercising lung and brain functions provided by this embodiment, the average finger pulse oxygen index increased, the average number of hospital stays was significantly reduced, and the lung breathing capacity and brain-hand coordination ability were improved. At the same time, users are more willing to actively try and insist on using the combined device for synchronously exercising lung and brain functions provided by this embodiment, and the overall acceptance and satisfaction are high.

[0033] In addition, in the description of this application, "proximal end" and "distal end" are commonly used terms in the medical field. Specifically, the "proximal end" is the end close to the operator, the "proximal surface" is the end surface close to the operator, the "distal end" is the end away from the operator, and the "distal surface" is the end surface away from the operator.

[0034] The above is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
