Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a breathing simulation teaching aid, which is used for showing students the difference between chest breathing and abdominal breathing. Background Art
[0002] The human body has two structures: the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity. Therefore, breathing occurs through either the abdominal or thoracic cavity. Abdominal breathing pushes the abdomen downward and outward during inhalation, and upward and inward during exhalation. This deep breathing utilizes the shortening of the abdominal muscles to increase pressure, significantly increasing inhaled volume and depth. Thoracic breathing achieves breathing through the expansion and contraction of the ribs.
[0003] Most people are only accustomed to one way of breathing. In vocal music teaching and medical teaching, it is necessary to show students the difference between abdominal breathing and thoracic breathing. However, the existing teaching scenarios lack relevant teaching aids, resulting in the teaching process being too abstract, making it difficult for students to intuitively feel and master it.

[0026] In order to enable people skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0027] The utility model discloses a breathing simulation teaching aid, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 3 As shown, the breathing simulation teaching aid includes:
[0028] A support body 1 is cylindrical in shape and is provided with, from top to bottom, a first opening at the top, second openings 11 on both sides of the middle, and a third opening 12 at the bottom. The support body 1 is further provided with a cover 13 at the first opening, a first elastic sealing membrane 14 at the second opening 11, and a second elastic sealing membrane 15 at the third opening 12.
[0029] The rib simulation part 2 is fan-shaped and is disposed at the second opening 11 , and the rib simulation part 2 is connected to the first elastic sealing membrane 14 ;
[0030] The elastic layer 3 is horizontally placed in the support body 1 to divide the support body 1 into two independent spaces, and the second opening 11 and the third opening 12 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the elastic layer 3;
[0031] The respiratory system simulation mechanism includes a tube body 4 and several balloons 5. One end of the tube body 4 is inserted into the support body 1 through the cover body 13, and two or more branch pipes 41 are provided on the tube body, and the branch pipes 41 are sealed and connected to the balloons 5.
[0032] The support body 1 is provided with an annular support structure at the elastic layer 3, and the elastic layer 3 is glued and fixed at the annular support structure to form a sealing structure. The rib simulation part 2 cooperates with the first elastic sealing membrane 14 and the elastic layer 3 to form a simulated chest cavity structure. The second elastic sealing membrane 15 cooperates with the elastic layer 3 to form a simulated abdominal cavity structure, and the elastic layer 3 acts as a diaphragm between the chest and abdominal cavities; Figure 2As shown, during chest breathing, by pulling the rib simulation part 2, the rib simulation part 2 can drive the first elastic sealing membrane 14 to expand. At this time, the air pressure in the simulated chest structure decreases, causing the balloon 5 to expand. Figure 4 As shown, when performing abdominal breathing, the rib simulation part 2 is controlled to remain stationary, and the second elastic sealing membrane 15 is pulled to expand the simulated abdominal structure. At this time, the air pressure in the simulated abdominal structure is reduced, and the elastic layer 3 sinks, so that the air pressure in the simulated chest structure is reduced and the balloon 5 expands.
[0033] The embodiment of the present invention simulates the human ribs, abdomen, and diaphragm respectively by providing a rib simulation part 2, a second elastic sealing membrane 15, and an elastic layer 3. The user can simulate thoracic breathing and abdominal breathing by controlling the rib simulation part 2 and the second elastic sealing membrane 15, thereby facilitating students to learn the differences between thoracic breathing and abdominal breathing.
[0034] Optionally, the support body 1 is made of transparent material.
[0035] The support 1 is made of a transparent polymer material, or can be made of a hard transparent material such as glass. As a feasible low-cost solution, a plastic bottle can also be used as the support 1 after being cut.
[0036] The embodiment of the present invention provides a transparent support body 1 , so that students can observe the expansion of the balloon 5 inside the support body 1 .
[0037] Optionally, the top of the rib simulation part 2 is directly or indirectly connected to the support body 1.
[0038] Among them, the top of the rib simulation part 2 can form a hinge structure with the second opening 11 of the support body 1. When the support body 1 is a plastic bottle body, the rib simulation part 2 and the support body 1 can also be used as an integrated structure, and a connection structure can be retained between the rib simulation part 2 and the support body 1 through cutting.
[0039] Particularly, the rib simulation portion 2 is provided with a plurality of transverse through holes.
[0040] The transverse through holes on the rib simulation part 2 can simulate the inter-rib spaces.
[0041] Optionally, a valve body 131 is further provided on the cover body 13 , and the valve body 131 is communicated with the inner side of the support body 1 .
[0042] The valve body 131 can adjust the amount of gas in the simulated chest cavity structure, thereby adjusting the expansion degree of the balloon 5 in the initial state.
[0043] Optionally, an abdominal muscle simulation layer 6 is further provided on the second elastic sealing membrane 15 , and the abdominal muscle simulation layer 6 is adhered and fixed to the outer side of the second elastic sealing membrane 15 .
[0044] The abdominal muscle simulation layer 6 can be made of abdominal muscle-shaped silicone and can be glued and fixed to the second elastic sealing film 15 .
[0045] The present embodiment of the present invention provides an abdominal muscle simulation layer 6 to simulate the abdominal muscle structure and also serves as a traction structure, allowing the user to pull the second elastic sealing membrane 15 through the abdominal muscle simulation layer 6. It should be noted that the abdominal muscle simulation layer 6 can be obtained by cutting from silicone or transplanting from a silicone soldier model. The specific preparation method is not detailed here.
[0046] Optionally, the elastic layer 3 is non-transparent.
[0047] The elastic layer 3 may be a red rubber layer.
[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, the elastic layer 3 is set to be non-transparent, so that the user can observe the changes of the elastic layer 3 more easily.
[0049] Optional, such as Figure 5 As shown, the breathing simulation teaching aid further includes a traction part 7, and the traction part 7 and the rib simulation part 2 are respectively located on both sides of the first elastic sealing membrane 14, and the traction part 7 is fixedly connected to the rib simulation part 2 by magnetism, adhesion or a connector.
[0050] Particularly, the bottom of the rib simulation part 2 is provided with a first magnetic part 21 , and the traction part 7 is provided with a second magnetic part 71 , and the first magnetic part 21 and the second magnetic part 71 are fixed by magnetic attraction.
[0051] The first magnetic attraction portion 21 and the second magnetic attraction portion 71 are both magnets. The first magnetic attraction portion 21 is glued to the inner side of the bottom of the rib simulation portion 2. The second magnetic attraction portion 71 is glued to the outer side of the traction portion 7, so that the rib simulation portion 2 and the traction portion 7 are magnetically connected.
[0052] Using screws or other structures to connect the rib simulation part 2 and the traction part 7 requires drilling holes in the first elastic sealing membrane 14, which can easily cause air leakage in the first elastic sealing membrane 14 and affect subsequent use. The present embodiment of the utility model provides a first magnetic part 21 and a second magnetic part 71 to connect the rib simulation part 2 and the traction part 7 by magnetic force, eliminating the need to drill holes in the first elastic sealing membrane 14 and improving airtightness.
[0053] Optionally, the first elastic sealing film 14 and the second elastic sealing film 15 are both transparent elastic films.
[0054] The first elastic sealing membrane 14 and the second elastic sealing membrane 15 are made of transparent or translucent latex material or silicone material, and only need to achieve a transparent effect, which will not be described in detail here.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that after reading the specification of this application, technicians can still modify or replace the specific implementation methods of the present invention with equivalents, but these modifications or changes do not deviate from the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present utility model application.
