Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of respiratory exercise, in particular to a respiratory rehabilitation exerciser. Background Art

[0002] Breathing exercises are divided into two types: inhalation training and exhalation training. Inhalation is an active process, which requires active contraction to expand the chest cavity and reduce the pressure in the lungs. When the pressure in the lungs is lower than the atmospheric pressure, air will be inhaled into the lungs. The principle of exhalation is the same as inhalation, which is based on the pressure difference, that is, the pressure in the lungs is greater than the atmospheric pressure. Exhalation breathing training is significantly helpful for the efficiency of gas exchange in the body. This kind of exercise is especially indispensable for the rehabilitation of postoperative patients.

[0003] Most of the existing breathing exercisers on the market are mainly three-ball breathing exercisers. The working method of the three-ball breathing exercisers is to make a floating ball float up in the air cylinder by inhaling or exhaling. The three-ball breathing exercisers include three air cylinders, each of which is provided with a floating ball. During breathing exercise, the three floating balls are sequentially floated up and stay on the top of the air cylinder for a short time before falling down, thereby achieving the purpose of breathing exercise. However, breathing exercise mainly focuses on mastering the breathing rhythm. Exhaling too quickly can easily make the three floating balls float up at the same time in an instant, and the purpose of step-by-step breathing exercise cannot be well achieved.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Example

[0024] A respiratory rehabilitation exerciser described in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a horizontally arranged vent pipe 1, the rear end of the vent pipe 1 is a closed structure, the cross section of the vent pipe 1 is a rectangular structure, and the inner hole thereof is a circular structure; the front end of the vent pipe 1 is connected to a connecting pipe 11, the connecting pipe 11 is communicated with the interior of the vent pipe 1, and when in use, the connecting pipe 11 is connected to the corrugated air pipe, and the other end of the corrugated air pipe is connected to a mouthpiece;

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, an air plug 10 is arranged in the vent pipe 1 at the rear side of the corresponding vent hole, and a through hole communicating with the inside and outside is opened at the rear end of the vent pipe 1. A push rod 14 is independently installed in the through hole. One end of the push rod 14 passes through the through hole and is fixed on the air plug 10, and the other end passes through the through hole and is fixed with a pressing block 15. A tension spring 13 is connected between the air plug 10 and the rear inner wall of the vent pipe 1, and the tension spring 13 is independently sleeved on the push rod 14; a limiting ring is arranged in the vent pipe 1 at the front side of the corresponding vent hole. 12, the inner diameter of the limit ring 12 is smaller than the diameter of the air plug 10; when installed, one end of the tension spring 13 is connected to the rear inner wall of the vent pipe 1, and the other end thereof is connected to the air plug 10. When the tension spring 13 is in a natural state, the air plug 10 is located at the rear side of the vent hole; when in use, the pressing block 15 is pressed to push the air plug 10 forward through the push rod 14, which can control the size of the vent hole ventilation channel and the amount of gas passing through; the limit ring 12 limits the transition of the air plug 10 forward;

[0026] like Figure 3As shown, a vent hole communicating with the inside and outside is provided on the side wall of the vent pipe 1, a main air cylinder 5 is vertically connected to the outside of the vent pipe 1, the lower end of the main air cylinder 5 is communicated with the vent hole, a threaded tube 9 is connected to the outside of the vent pipe 1, the threaded tube 9 is communicated with the vent hole, an internal thread threadedly matched with the threaded tube 9 is provided on the inner side wall of the lower end of the main air cylinder 5, during production, an internal thread threadedly matched with the threaded tube 9 is provided on the inner side wall of the lower end of the main air cylinder 5, and the two are connected by a threaded connection to achieve free disassembly, that is, it is convenient to put the first float 8 into the main air cylinder 5, and it is also convenient to disassemble the main air cylinder 5 for cleaning and disinfection, the inner diameter of the threaded tube 9 is smaller than the diameter of the first float 8, and the first float 8 is blocked in the main air cylinder 5;

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the main air cylinder 5 is connected with a first air cylinder 4 and a second air cylinder 6 which are vertically upwards, the first air cylinder 4 and the second air cylinder 6 are both in communication with the interior of the main air cylinder 5, and the second air cylinder 6 is located above the first air cylinder 4; the first air cylinder 4 and the second air cylinder 6 have the same diameter, and the main air cylinder 5, the first air cylinder 4 and the second air cylinder 6 are all made of transparent material; the diameters of the first air cylinder 4 and the second air cylinder 6 are slightly smaller than the diameters of the main air cylinder 5, and the wall thicknesses of the three are the same;

[0028] A first floating ball 8 is independently provided in the main air cylinder 5, a second floating ball 3 is independently provided in the first branch air cylinder 4, a third floating ball 7 is independently provided in the second branch air cylinder 6, a first stop ring 2 is fixed in the first branch air cylinder 4 to prevent the second floating ball 3 from falling into the main air cylinder 5, and a second stop ring is fixed in the second branch air cylinder 6 to prevent the third floating ball 7 from falling into the main air cylinder 5; the tops of the main air cylinder 5, the first branch air cylinder 4 and the second branch air cylinder 6 are all provided with air holes communicating with the inside and outside;

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, during production, for the convenience of installation, the first air cylinder 4, the main air cylinder 5 and the second air cylinder 6 are divided into two halves, and then the first stop ring 2, the second float 3, the third float 7 and the second stop ring are installed in one half, and then the other half is combined and the two halves are glued together; note that after the first stop ring 2 is installed, no part of the second float 3 can appear in the main air cylinder 5 to avoid movement conflict with the floating of the first float 8; the second stop ring is the same; the air eye allows the air inside the first air cylinder 4, the main air cylinder 5 and the second air cylinder 6 to circulate with the outside, and the three air eyes are the same size;

[0030] The gap between the first float 8 and the inner diameter of the main air cylinder 5 is smaller than the gap between the second float 3 and the inner diameter of the first air cylinder 4; the gap between the second float 3 and the inner diameter of the first air cylinder 4 is smaller than the gap between the third float 7 and the inner diameter of the second air cylinder 6; principle analysis: under the same gas circulation speed, when the gap between the inner diameter of the tube and the sphere is smaller, the space for air circulation is smaller, the assistance provided to the sphere is greater, and the floating speed is faster. On the contrary, the larger the gap, the larger the space for gas to pass through, the smaller the gas resistance provided to the sphere is, and the floating speed is slower. In addition, the first float 8, the second float 3 and the third float 7 are at different heights, so the floating order is the first float 8, the second float 3 and the third float 7. When the height of the first float 8 does not exceed the connection between the first air cylinder 4 and the main air cylinder 5, the gas entering the main air cylinder 5 should first push the first float 8 to float upward. After the first float 8 passes the connection between the first air cylinder 4 and the second air cylinder 6 and the main air cylinder 5, since the gap between the inner diameter of the second float 3 and the first air cylinder 4 is smaller than the gap between the inner diameter of the third float 7 and the second air cylinder 6, and the position of the second float 3 is relatively low, the second float 3 has priority floating rights compared with the third float 7; finally, the third float 7 has the right to float upward; therefore, when the patient is doing breathing exercises, by observing the floating of the first float 8, the second float 3 and the third float 7, the purpose of step-by-step breathing exercises is achieved, and the breathing exercises are improved to a certain extent;

[0031] In addition, during production, the first float 8, the second float 3 and the third float 7 can be set in different colors for easy distinction and observation;

[0032] In actual use, the connecting tube 11 is connected to the corrugated trachea, and the patient holds the other end of the corrugated trachea and exhales, and the gas enters the main air cylinder 5 along the inside of the ventilation tube 1, and the first float 8 is blown up by the airflow. When the first float 8 floats to the top of the main air cylinder 5, the second float 3 floats upward until it reaches the top of the first air cylinder 4, and then the third float 7 floats upward to the top of the second air cylinder 6. The first float 8, the second float 3 and the third float 7 float in sequence, so as to better achieve the purpose of step-by-step breathing exercise, and to a certain extent, achieve the purpose of better breathing exercise;

[0033] The above introduction is an exhalation exercise method. The present embodiment also serves the purpose of inhalation exercise, which is to turn the main air cylinder 5, the first air cylinder 4 and the second air cylinder 6 upside down, and make the first float 8, the second float 3 and the third float 7 float upward by inhaling. Due to the gap between the spheres and the tube wall, the floating order is still the first float 8, the second float 3 and the third float 7.

[0034] In addition, during use, based on the different conditions of each patient, the patient presses the pressing block 15 during the breathing training, and determines the difficulty of the first float 8, the second float 3 and the third float 7 to float by controlling the size of the air passage space through the vent; the larger the vent, the easier it is for the first float 8, the second float 3 and the third float 7 to float, and conversely, the smaller the vent, the more difficult it is to float; when exercising, the patient keeps pressing the pressing block 15 to achieve the purpose of arbitrary adjustment; in addition, the push rod 14 can be changed into a threaded rod, the through hole can be changed into a threaded hole that is threadedly matched with the threaded rod, the tension spring 13 can be discarded, and the air plug 10 can be pushed to move by rotating the threaded rod. When reaching a certain position, the size of the vent is continuously guaranteed.
