DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-7 The present application provides a technical solution: an exhalation collecting device, comprising a gas collecting tank 1, a tap 2, an exhalation mechanism 3 installed on the upper end of the tap 2, and an air guiding mechanism 4 installed on the upper end of the gas collecting tank 1.

[0022] The exhalation mechanism 3 comprises a butt joint pipe 301 threadedly connected to one end of the tap 2, the butt joint pipe 301 being connected with a connecting head 302 at one end, two through holes 303 being formed on both sides of one end of the connecting head 302, a one-way valve 304 being installed on one side of the connecting head 302, a sealing ball 305 being installed at the edge of one end of the one-way valve 304, a double-way pipe 306 being installed at one end of the connecting head 302, the inner wall of one end of the double-way pipe 306 being in communication with the inner walls of the two through holes 303, two hoses 307 being connected to the other two ends of the double-way pipe 306, one end of one of the two hoses 307 being installed with a nasal tube 308, the outer walls of both ends of the nasal tube 308 being sleeved with sealing plugs 309, and one end of the other hose 307 being connected with a breathing mask 310.

[0023] In use, by connecting the adapter pipe 301 with one end of the tap 2, the whole exhalation mechanism is connected with the collecting device. When collecting exhaled breath, the nose pipe 308 is inserted into the user's nasal cavity, and the sealing plug 309 on the outer wall can realize tight adhesion to the inside of the nasal cavity after insertion, thereby sealing to prevent air leakage. The breathing mask 310 is normally worn, and then the one-way valve 304 at the upper end of the connector 302 is rotated to make the sealing ball 305 at the upper end thereof be rotated and blocked in the through hole 303 communicating with the breathing mask 310, thereby sealing. At this time, the exhaled gas of the breathing mask 310 cannot enter the connector 302, and only the exhaled gas of the nasal cavity can be guided into the connector 302, and then into the tap 2 through the adapter pipe 301, and finally into the gas collecting tank 1 through the tap 2 for collection and discharge through the exhaust pipe 6 for detection. After the nasal cavity exhalation collection is completed, the one-way valve 304 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the sealing ball 305 at the upper end thereof be rotated and blocked in the other through hole 303, at this time, the exhaled gas of the nasal cavity cannot enter the connector 302, and the exhaled gas of the breathing mask 310 normally enters the connector 302 and then enters the gas collecting tank 1 for discharge for detection. During the collection process, different exhalation devices do not need to be replaced, and the exhaled gas of two exhalation modes can be collected at one time, thereby improving the collection efficiency and reducing the use cost of exhalation collection.

[0024] Further, the air guide mechanism 4 includes a connecting pipe 401 inserted and installed at the top of the gas collecting tank 1, and the tap 2 is installed at the top of the gas collecting tank 1 through the connecting pipe 401, and the tap 2 is connected with the gas collecting tank 1 through the connecting pipe 401 and communicates with the inside of the gas collecting tank 1 through the connecting pipe 401.

[0025] Further, the tap 2 is connected with an air inlet pipe 402 at one side of the top thereof, and the inner wall of the connecting pipe 401 and the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 402 are both provided with air inlet grooves 403, and the middle positions of the upper edges of the inner walls of the two air inlet grooves 403 are both fixedly provided with sealing strips 404.

[0026] The upper edges of one side of the inner walls of the two air inlet grooves 403 are both hingedly connected with sealing lamellas 405, the inner walls of the two ends of the four sealing lamellas 405 are both fixedly provided with torsional springs 406, and the outer walls of one ends of the eight torsional springs 406 are respectively fixedly connected with the inner walls of the two sides of the two air inlet grooves 403.

[0027] In the gas collecting process, the user's exhaled breath can normally pass through the connector 302 and the connecting pipe 301 into the sub-connector 2, and blow into the gas inlet groove 403 in the connecting pipe 401, which will impact the sealing sheet 405 and make it rotate to open the gas inlet groove 403, so that the exhaled gas can normally enter the gas collecting tank 1 for collection. The exhaled gas entering the gas inlet pipe 402 cannot open the gas inlet groove 403 in the gas inlet pipe 402 because the rotating direction of the sealing sheet 405 is opposite to the direction of gas flow, so that the exhaled gas is not easily lost and is fully collected in the gas collecting tank 1. When the user inhales involuntarily, the sealing sheet 405 in the gas inlet pipe 402 is pressed and rotated by the external air pressure drop due to the decrease of internal pressure, which opens the gas inlet groove 403 in the gas inlet pipe 402, so that air enters and is inhaled by the user. The rotating direction of the sealing sheet 405 in the connecting pipe 401 at this time is consistent with the pressure difference direction, and it cannot be opened due to the limiting of the sealing strip 404, so that the gas collected in the gas collecting tank 1 cannot be sucked out, which does not affect the normal gas collection in the whole gas collection process, improves the gas collection quality, and the sealing sheet 405 is pressed and rotated. When the user does not breathe, the sealing sheet 405 is rotated and contacted with the sealing strip 404 under the action of the torsional spring 406, so as to keep the two gas inlet grooves 403 in a sealed state;

[0028] Further, the upper edge of the inner wall of the gas inlet pipe 402 is fixedly provided with filter cotton 5, and the lower edge of one side of the gas collecting tank 1 is provided with an exhaust pipe 6. Before the external air is inhaled, it passes through the filter cotton 5 for filtration, so that the inhaled gas of the user is clean and sanitary.
