Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a breathing mask, in particular to a breathing mask with a water replenishing function. Background Art
[0002] Some bedridden patients still have clear consciousness. Such patients can still clearly perceive some physical discomforts of their own and also have certain mobility. In this case, it can be well utilized to better relieve the physical discomfort of patients during bed rest. That is, by the way of self-adjustment of patients to improve physical discomfort.
[0003] It should be noted that thirst is a very common discomfort symptom that patients can feel during bed rest and is also a symptom that is relatively simple to improve. Therefore, it is obviously promising to design a device that allows patients to improve the discomfort symptom of thirst through their own operations. It should be noted that when designing the above device, it is necessary to classify patients with clear consciousness to more accurately target the physical conditions of patients. Specifically, clinically, bedridden patients with consciousness can be divided into two types. One type is patients with clear consciousness and normal muscle functions. When such patients replenish water, they can directly suck it through a straw. The other type is that although they have clear consciousness, their bodies are relatively weak, and it is obviously impossible to drink directly with a water cup or a water bottle. And when using a straw to suck water by themselves, due to their weak physical condition, the muscle functions of their oral muscles are weak, and it is extremely difficult to effectively mobilize the oral muscles and laryngeal muscles, resulting in poor control of the water intake when sucking water by themselves, and bedridden patients are easily choked. Therefore, this part of patients obviously needs a special water replenishing device suitable for them. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a breathing mask with a water replenishing function, so that bedridden and weak patients can conveniently complete self-water replenishment when they are thirsty.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A breathing mask with a water replenishing function, comprising
[0007] A mask body;
[0008] A water replenishing tube, the water replenishing tube has an inner end and an outer end, and the inner end extends through the mask body and can be inserted into the patient's oral cavity;
[0009] A water replenishing mechanism, detachably connected to the outer end of the water replenishing tube, and squeezing the water replenishing mechanism to quantitatively supply water to the water replenishing tube.
[0010] Preferably, the water replenishing tube is a silicone tube.
[0011] Preferably, a wire winding post is arranged on the outside of the mask body, a towing rope is connected to the water replenishing pipe, and the towing rope passes through the mask body and then winds around the wire winding post.
[0012] Preferably, a wire clamping plate is arranged on the wire winding post. The wire clamping plate is obliquely connected to the surface of the wire winding post and forms a gradually opening clamping port.
[0013] Preferably, a reinforcing plate is arranged on the surface of the water replenishing pipe, and the towing rope is connected to the reinforcing plate; further included is a U-shaped spring clip which is respectively connected to the inner side surface of the mask body and the reinforcing plate to apply a force to push the water replenishing pipe to be straightened.
[0014] Preferably, the water replenishing mechanism includes a water storage bottle. An air inlet pipe and a liquid outlet pipe are connected to the bottle cap of the water storage bottle. The air inlet pipe is connected to an airbag, and one end of the liquid outlet pipe extends to the bottom of the water storage bottle and the other end is detachably connected to the outer end of the water replenishing pipe.
[0015] Preferably, a one-way valve that conducts unidirectionally from the inside of the water storage bottle to the water replenishing pipe is arranged in the liquid outlet pipe.
[0016] Preferably, a cross valve flap is further arranged in the water replenishing pipe.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. In this solution, by adding a water replenishing pipe that can extend into the patient's oral cavity on the mask body and a water replenishing mechanism connected to the water replenishing pipe, orderly water replenishment under the patient's own initiative is realized. Specifically, by squeezing the airbag, a certain amount of water is stably delivered into the water replenishing pipe, reducing the dependence on the patient's oral water absorption function while ensuring the safety of water replenishment.
[0019] 2. The water replenishing pipe made of silica gel tube material is used to avoid causing damage to the patient after extending into the patient's oral cavity.
[0020] 3. A towing line is arranged so that when the water replenishing pipe is not working, the water replenishing pipe can be pulled out of the oral cavity through the towing line, reducing the discomfort brought to the patient by the long-term extension of the water replenishing pipe into the oral cavity. In addition, pulling out the water replenishing pipe in time can also reduce the time of the water replenishing pipe in an anoxic environment, reduce the reproduction of anaerobic bacteria, and keep the water replenishing pipe hygienic.
[0021] 4. A wire clamping plate is arranged on the wire winding post to facilitate the fixing of the water replenishing pipe on the wire winding post after being pulled up by the towing rope.
[0022] 5. A reinforcing plate is provided to strengthen the strength of the water supply pipe, ensuring that the traction rope can fold the water supply pipe horizontally after pulling it, so as to ensure that it can surely come out of the patient's oral cavity. At the same time, a U-shaped spring clip is provided to apply an elastic force to the water supply pipe, ensuring that when the traction rope does not exert a pulling force on the water supply pipe, the water supply pipe can quickly return to the state of vertically extending into the patient's oral cavity under the action of the U-shaped spring clip.
[0023] 6. A one-way valve is provided in the liquid outlet pipe to prevent the water in the liquid outlet pipe from flowing back into the water storage bottle and causing pollution.
[0024] 7. A cross valve flap is provided to prevent the water in the water supply mechanism from flowing uncontrollably through the water supply pipe and into the patient's oral cavity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.
[0034] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a breathing mask with a water replenishing function has a mask body 100 with the same structure as the existing breathing mask. A water replenishing pipe 200 is inserted on the breathing mask. The water replenishing pipe includes an inner end extending into the interior of the mask body 100 and an outer end extending outside the mask body. It should be noted that the inner end of the water replenishing pipe needs to be able to extend into the patient's oral cavity after the patient wears the mask body, so as to ensure that the water entering the water replenishing pipe can smoothly flow into the patient's oral cavity.
[0035] At the same time, this solution also includes a water replenishing mechanism 300, which is detachably plugged or connected by a Luer thread with the outer end of the water replenishing pipe 200. The water replenishing mechanism has an air bag 340 similar to that in a mercury sphygmomanometer. The patient squeezes the air bag to press a certain amount of gas into the water replenishing mechanism, thereby increasing the pressure in the water replenishing mechanism, so as to squeeze out the water stored in the water replenishing mechanism and send it into the connected water replenishing pipe 200. Finally, the patient can achieve autonomous water replenishment.
[0036] It should be noted that the water replenishing pipe 200 is preferably made of a silicone tube with elasticity and meeting the requirements of medical devices, so as to reduce the discomfort brought to the patient due to pressure after the water replenishing pipe enters the oral cavity.
[0037] It should also be noted that in the above solution, since the silicone material is used, it has a bendable function that can be restored. When this feature is fully utilized, when the patient does not need to be hydrated, the water supply tube can be removed from the patient's mouth. Specifically, a towing rope 400 is connected to the free end of the water supply tube. After passing through the mask body, the towing rope can be pulled and wound around a wire winding post 500 fixed on the outer surface of the mask body, so as to ensure that after the inner end of the water supply tube is pulled out of the patient's mouth by the towing rope, the towing rope will not retract due to the elastic rebound tendency of the silicone tube.
[0038] It should be noted that conventional winding and fixing usually requires tying a knot. Relatively speaking, although the problem of bacteria breeding easily in the water supply tube 200 due to being in an oxygen-deficient environment for a long time is reduced after the water supply tube is pulled out of the patient's mouth. However, the method of tying a knot for fixing also has certain inconveniences. Therefore, on the basis of the above solution, the following optimization method can be used to simplify the winding and fixing of the rope on the wire winding post. Specifically, a wire clamping plate 600 is also connected to the surface of the wire winding post 500. There is a certain angle between the wire clamping plate and the surface of the wire winding post, that is, a gradually opening triangular opening is formed between the wire clamping plate and the wire winding post. When the pulled towing rope is wound around the wire clamping plate and the wire winding post, the wire clamping plate is pressed down between the wire winding posts, and the triangular opening decreases. At this time, if the wound towing rope is clamped into this opening, the towing rope will be clamped by the wire clamping plate and the wire winding post and cannot be unwound, thus effectively ensuring the stability of the towing rope wound on the wire winding post.
[0039] In addition, it should also be noted that the water supply tube made of silicone tube is inevitably lacking in its own hardness, and when pulling the water supply tube 200 with a towing rope, it is impossible to effectively guide the bending position of the water supply tube, that is, there may be a situation where both ends of the water supply tube are U-shaped bent. Then, at this time, the part of the water supply tube at the bottom may still press against the patient's mouth, causing discomfort to the patient. Therefore, a rigid reinforcing plate 700 can be fixed on the surface of the water supply tube on the same side as the towing rope, and the towing rope is connected to the reinforcing plate 700. By pulling the reinforcing plate, the towing rope can pull the water supply tube to a horizontal folded state in a straight state, avoiding the water supply tube still pressing against the patient's mouth after being pulled up.
[0040] It should be noted that in order to ensure the comfort when the water supply tube extends into the patient's mouth, the reinforcing plate is shorter than the length of the water supply tube 200 and does not extend to the free end of the water supply tube, so as to ensure that after the water supply tube extends into the patient's mouth, the reinforcing plate will not enter the patient's mouth accordingly.
[0041] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, a U-shaped spring clip 800 is further added. The two straight arms of the spring clip are respectively connected to the inner surface of the mask body 100 and the reinforcement plate 700, so that the U-shaped spring clip can apply a force to push the horizontally folded water supply pipe 200 in the vertical direction. It should be noted that through the above U-shaped spring clip, it can be ensured that after the water supply pipe loses the traction of the traction rope, it can quickly rebound and return to the straight state, so as to ensure that the water supply pipe will surely enter the patient's mouth after resetting.
[0042] In addition, it should be noted that in this solution, the water supply mechanism 300 has various forms, and the simplest is the form of a syringe plus a catheter. However, for this kind of structure, its water storage capacity is limited. After the water in the syringe is pushed out each time, it is necessary to trouble the medical staff to replenish it, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, the following structure of the water supply mechanism 300 is proposed in this solution. Specifically, it includes a water storage bottle 310, which can be made of disposable plastic material, and is preferably made of metal material that can be repeatedly used and withstand repeated high-temperature disinfection, so as to reduce costs and reduce the product packaging volume. It should be noted that as Figure 2 shown, the water storage bottle has a screw cap structure, which is convenient for replenishing water into the water storage bottle.
[0043] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, an air inlet pipe 320 and a liquid outlet pipe 330 are respectively connected to the lid of the water storage bottle.
[0044] Among them, the airbag 340 in the water supply mechanism 300 is connected to the air inlet pipe, and the patient can press air into the water storage bottle by squeezing the airbag with his own hands.
[0045] One end of the liquid outlet pipe 330 is detachably connected to the outer end of the water supply pipe, and the part located in the water storage bottle 310 extends to the bottom of the water storage bottle to ensure that all the water in the water storage bottle can be discharged through the liquid outlet pipe after the pressure in the water storage bottle increases.
[0046] In this solution, it should also be noted that the outer catheter parts of the air inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe are both disposable plastic hoses, so as to ensure the hygiene of each use and facilitate packaging and storage during production.
[0047] In addition, as a preference of the above solution, the part of the liquid outlet pipe located in the water storage bottle is made of the same material as the metal of the water storage bottle, and this part of the liquid outlet pipe is detachably connected to the external plastic liquid outlet pipe. As Figure 2 、 Figure 5 shown, a one-way valve 350 is provided on the liquid outlet pipe located in the water storage bottle, and the one-way valve is unidirectionally conductive from the water storage bottle to the water supply pipe 200 to prevent part of the water in the plastic hose of the liquid outlet pipe and part of the water in the water supply pipe from flowing back into the water storage bottle.
[0048] It should also be noted that since the water outlet pipe has a certain length and a large amount of water will be stored in it, if this part of the water is not blocked at the water replenishing pipe, it is very easy to flow into the patient's mouth by itself. If the patient fails to swallow in time, it is very easy to choke and cause dangerous situations. To prevent this situation from occurring, a cross valve flap 210 is also provided in the water replenishing pipe. That is, when not under a certain pressure, the water in the liquid outlet pipe will not flow out by itself, ensuring the safety of the patient.
[0049] Working principle: When the patient is conscious and has certain mobility in the hand, this solution can be clinically adopted to enable the patient to perform the water replenishing operation according to their own situation. Specifically, first put the mask main body on the face. Then, open the water storage bottle and add drinking water to the water storage bottle. Next, connect the liquid outlet pipe in the water replenishing mechanism to the water replenishing pipe. When water replenishment is needed, the traction rope can be loosened from the winding column, and the U-shaped spring clip pushes the water replenishing pipe to a straight state. At this time, the water replenishing pipe extends into the patient's oral cavity, and the patient squeezes the air bag with the palm to fill the water storage bottle with air. The pressure in the water storage bottle increases and the water is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe to the water replenishing pipe. Finally, the water in the water replenishing pipe is also slowly injected into the patient's mouth under the action of pressure, and the patient completes the self-water replenishing operation. This solution has the advantage of convenient water replenishment for bedridden patients with weak sucking ability.
[0050] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
