Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the medical field, and specifically to a respiratory function exerciser. Background Technique
[0002] In the medical field, for patients after thoracic surgery, it is often necessary to exercise their respiratory function during the rehabilitation stage to restore abdominal function as soon as possible.
[0003] Existing respiratory function exercisers usually mainly consist of a housing, a floating ball, an air nozzle, and a connecting pipe. Before use, the device needs to be connected well. During use, there are the following two ways of inhalation training and exhalation training:
[0004] Among them, inhalation training is to inhale slowly, lift the floating ball inside the device, and try to keep the ball in this position for as long as possible. And exhalation training is to first place the trainer upside down and slowly blow up the floating ball, and also try to keep the floating ball in the current position for as long as possible.
[0005] Through blowing and inhaling exercises, the external intercostal muscles and the diaphragm contract and expand, causing the anteroposterior and vertical diameters of the chest to increase, the chest cavity to expand, and the lungs to expand as much as possible, increasing vital capacity, helping to restore lung function, preventing the ventilation volume of alveolar collapse, enhancing vital capacity, and strengthening the inflation and coughing ability of the lungs, and preventing sputum accumulation.
[0006] However, if you want to check the exercise effect, generally, it is to determine the inhalation and blowing effects by checking the height of the floating ball and a few small marks on the respiratory function exerciser, that is, the patient needs to check by himself or others need to observe and remind in real time, and it is impossible to directly feedback whether the current inhalation and blowing forces are standard, which may lead to insufficient actual exercise effects and will consume a lot of time and energy of others.
[0007] Therefore, a respiratory function exerciser that can directly determine whether the height of the floating ball is qualified and can give real-time feedback is needed. Content of the Utility Model
[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a respiratory function exerciser, which can automatically and real-time judge whether the current inhalation and blowing forces are standard and qualified, and timely remind the patient to make adjustments, effectively increasing the effect of respiratory function exercise, suitable for patients with different conditions or ages. In addition, it can also guide the patient in specific operation steps.
[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0010] A respiratory function exerciser, comprising a housing, a floating ball, a conduit, a nozzle, and an intelligent control module disposed at the housing. An air passage and a vertically disposed air flow passage are provided in the housing. The floating ball is located in the air flow passage. The air flow passage is communicated with the outside through the air passage, and the air passage forms an interface on the surface of the housing. Two ends of the conduit can be respectively connected to the nozzle and the interface. The intelligent control module includes a measuring member and a feedback member. The measuring member is located at the housing to record the state of the floating ball, and the feedback member reminds the patient in real time. The housing is further provided with a reminder member for displaying and reminding the usage process.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the respiratory function exerciser adopting the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. By using the respiratory function exerciser of the present invention, while connecting the nozzle and the interface through the conduit, the purpose of connecting the nozzle and the air flow passage can be achieved. When the floating ball is driven to move during inhalation and exhalation, the measuring member monitors in real time. If the floating ball is at a preset height, the feedback member will prompt the patient that the current exercise intensity standard is met. If the floating ball is not at the preset height, the feedback member will remind the patient to increase the inhalation or exhalation force so as to make the current exercise reach the standard and effective purpose, thereby helping the patient recover as soon as possible.
[0013] 2. At the same time, the reminder member can guide the patient to gradually and correctly connect the conduit, exhale and inhale, avoiding incorrect operations caused by the patient or family members not being clear or forgetting, so as to perform correct exercise operations, thereby ensuring the treatment effect of respiratory function exercise.
[0014] Preferably, the intelligent control module further includes a control unit integrally disposed in the housing. The measuring member and the feedback member are connected to the control unit through a circuit or a signal transmission module. The measuring member is an infrared sensor disposed outside the housing, and the feedback member is a display screen and / or a voice player disposed outside the housing. According to a preset program, when the floating ball reaches the height where the infrared sensor is located, the information will be automatically and real-time fed back to the control unit. The control unit judges the current action standard and feeds back the information that the force is qualified to the patient. Since the height of the floating ball needs to be maintained during the exercise process, when feeding back to the patient, the patient can clearly understand the exercise goal, enhancing the patient's confidence in insisting on inhalation or exhalation operations. If the floating ball drops or the floating ball does not reach a specific height for a long time, the feedback member reminds the patient in the feedback ways of vision and audition to the greatest extent, and the patient makes corresponding adjustments according to the reminder.
[0015] Preferably, a support rod is provided in the vertical direction on the outside of the air flow channel, and an adjustment block is movably connected to the support rod. The infrared sensor is arranged at the adjustment block, and a damping layer is provided on the outer surface of the support rod. By controlling the up and down displacement of the adjustment block, the height of the infrared sensor can be adjusted to be suitable for patients with different conditions or ages. That is, such patients will also be monitored and feedback by the intelligent control module during low-intensity exercise; by using the deceleration and buffering effect of the damping layer, the adjusted position can be positioned and the problem of random displacement of the infrared sensor during use can be avoided.
[0016] Preferably, a cuboid fixing frame is provided above the housing, and the prompting member is a process display diagram or a process playback screen, and the process display diagram or the process playback screen is arranged in the fixing frame. The fixing frame is used to accommodate the prompting member, and corresponding step prompts can still be carried out when the housing is inverted for exhalation exercise.
[0017] Preferably, both the process display diagram or the process playback screen can be rotatably arranged in the fixing frame through a rotating shaft, and a knob for controlling the activity of the rotating shaft is provided outside the fixing frame. By controlling the rotation of the process display diagram or the process playback screen, the image or the played picture can be displayed to the patient in a positive direction, thus facilitating the patient to view the steps.
[0018] Preferably, one end of the catheter is threadedly connected to the air nozzle, and the other end of the catheter can be inserted into the interface and threadedly connected. Through the threaded connection structure, the docking of the interface, the catheter and the air nozzle can be quickly realized, the connection state is stable, and it is easy for the patient to operate and separate by himself, with the characteristics of convenient and efficient use; at the same time, since the air inlet end of the catheter is located inside the interface, the risk of air leakage at this place can be effectively avoided.
[0019] Preferably, an inner tube body is provided in the air nozzle. When the catheter is connected to the air nozzle, a part of the inner tube body is located in the catheter, and a part of the inner tube body is in close fit with the catheter. The inner tube body is used to provide an internal passage for the air flow, so as to avoid the risk of air leakage at the connection of the catheter and the air nozzle.
[0020] Preferably, a liquid absorption layer is provided on the inner wall of the inner tube body. The liquid absorption layer can directly absorb saliva at the source of exhalation, thereby reducing the problem of saliva entering the inside of the housing. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0029] Both ends of the conduit 3 can be respectively connected to the air nozzle 4 and the interface 60. The connection mode of the conduit 3 can adopt insertion docking, snap connection or threaded connection. Considering the risk of air leakage, the threaded connection mode is adopted, that is, one end of the conduit 3 is threadedly connected to the air nozzle 4, and the other end of the conduit 3 can be inserted into the interface 60 and threadedly connected.
[0030] And to further reduce the risk of air leakage, an inner tube body 40 is provided in the air nozzle 4. When the conduit 3 is connected to the air nozzle 4, a part of the inner tube body 40 is located in the conduit 3, and a part of the inner tube body 40 is in close fit with the conduit 3.
[0031] In addition, to reduce the risk of a large amount of saliva being blown into the housing 1, the inner wall of the inner tube body 40 has a liquid absorption layer 41, and the liquid absorption layer 41 is made of pure cotton or water-absorbing resin.
[0032] The intelligent control module 5 includes a measuring member, a feedback member, and a control unit integrally provided in the housing 1. The measuring member and the feedback member are connected to the control unit through a circuit or a signal transmission module. The measuring member is located at the housing 1 to record the state of the floating ball 2, and the feedback member reminds the patient in real time. Among them, the signal transmission module can adopt a wireless, Bluetooth or local area network module.
[0033] Regarding the measuring member, a trigger switch in the air flow passage 7 can be adopted to transmit a signal to the control unit when being pushed by the floating ball 2; the measuring member can also adopt an inductive structure. In this embodiment, the measuring member adopts an infrared sensor 50 provided outside the housing 1.
[0034] The feedback component can be a display screen 51 provided outside the housing 1 or a voice player 52. Considering the purpose of fully reminding the patient, in this embodiment, the feedback component simultaneously uses the display screen 51 and the voice player 52. A power interface 60 or a storage battery connected to the intelligent control module 5 is provided inside the housing 1; the display screen 51 is a touch panel of the existing technology.
[0035] To be suitable for patients with different conditions to exercise, a support rod 10 is provided in the vertical direction outside the air flow channel 7, and an adjustment block 11 is movably connected to the support rod 10. The infrared sensor 50 is provided at the adjustment block 11, and a damping layer 12 made of thin-layer silica gel or thin-layer rubber is provided on the outer surface of the support rod 10.
[0036] The housing 1 is further provided with a reminder component for displaying and reminding the usage process. The reminder component can be an intuitive display picture or a video playback method, that is, the reminder component in this embodiment can be a process display diagram or a process playback screen 8.
[0037] A rectangular fixed frame 9 is provided above the housing 1, and the process display diagram or the process playback screen 8 is arranged in the fixed frame 9. In this embodiment, the process playback screen 8 is selected, and the process playback screen 8 is a touch panel of the existing technology.
[0038] In addition, to facilitate the real-time display of the front of the process playback screen 8 to the patient during inhalation exercise and exhalation exercise, the process playback screen 8 in this embodiment can be rotatably arranged in the fixed frame 9 through a rotating shaft 90, and a knob 91 for controlling the movement of the rotating shaft 90 is provided outside the fixed frame 9.
[0039] The following is the usage method of this embodiment:
[0040] First, turn on the process playback screen 8, and the process playback screen 8 gradually plays the operation steps to the patient. During this process, the patient can pause at any time. Insert one end of the catheter 3 into the interface 60, and rotate the catheter 3 and the interface 60 to be threadedly connected. Threadedly connect the air nozzle 4 and the other end of the catheter 3. At this time, a part of the inner tube body 40 is inserted into the catheter 3, and the inner tube body 40 closely adheres to the inner wall of the catheter 3.
[0041] Then, connect the power supply inside the housing 1 to start the intelligent control module 5. At this time, the patient can perform inhalation exercise through the air nozzle 4. Since the catheter 3, the ventilation channel 6 and the air flow channel 7 are connected, the floating ball 2 in the air flow channel 7 is forced to move upward. After the infrared sensor 50 detects the floating ball 2 moving upward, it transmits the signal to the control unit in real time, and the control unit displays this information through the display screen 51 and emits a prompt sound indicating whether the exercise is standard through the voice player 52.
[0042] Among them, if the patient is a child, an elderly patient or a weak patient who does not require strenuous exercise, the medical staff can move the adjustment block 11 up and down by hand to lower the height of the infrared sensor 50, and position it through the damping layer 12 when releasing the adjustment block 11, and preset the standard value of the exercise to the control unit through the display screen 51, that is, the floating ball 2 only needs to reach a lower height, and the display screen 51 and the voice player 52 will give a prompt on whether the inspiration exercise is qualified.
[0043] When expiratory exercise is required, the housing 1 can be placed upside down. At this time, the fixing frame 9 is located below. After the process display screen 8 senses the flipping action, the picture will flip up and down synchronously. If the playback picture is not adjusted in time, the rotating shaft 90 can also be rotated through the knob 91 to make the process display screen 8 be sensed; if there is a double-sided process display diagram in the fixing frame 9, rotating the rotating shaft 90 can make the other side of the process display diagram face the patient; in addition, the height of the infrared sensor 50 at this time is also adjusted according to the patient's condition or age.
[0044] After adjustment, the patient can perform expiratory exercise through the air nozzle 4. The floating ball 2 moves upward under force. Referring to the above inspiration exercise, the intelligent control module 5 works simultaneously, and the display screen 51 and the voice player 52 will give a prompt on whether the expiratory exercise is qualified. At the same time, the liquid absorption layer 41 of the inner tube body 40 will absorb a large amount of saliva.
[0045] The above is the preferred implementation mode of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several variations and improvements can still be made, and these should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
