Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomized mask technology, specifically to an atomized mask. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of medical technology, nebulized drug delivery has become one of the important means of treating respiratory diseases. Traditional nebulized drug delivery devices are mostly handheld small nebulizers. Although convenient to carry, they require the patient to hold the nebulizer and connect it to a mask through tubing during use. This not only increases the complexity of the operation but also restricts the patient's range of motion. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, this utility model provides an atomizing mask.
[0004] A fogging mask includes a one-piece molded left and right cover. A fogging module is disposed on the left cover, and a power module is disposed on the right cover. The fogging module includes a fogging generating structure passing through the left cover. The top of the fogging generating structure is located outside the left cover and connected to a medicine container structure. The bottom of the fogging generating structure is located inside the left cover and connected to a nozzle structure. The power module includes a mounting housing passing through the right cover, and a battery circuit assembly is disposed inside the mounting housing. The battery circuit assembly is connected to the fogging module via a connecting cable. A deformable protective structure is disposed around the connecting cable. Both the connecting cable and the protective structure pass through the left and right covers.
[0005] Preferably, the atomization structure includes a liquid chamber, an ultrasonic atomizing plate, and an oscillation circuit. The liquid chamber is connected to the drug reservoir structure and stores the liquid medicine from it. The oscillation circuit generates vibrations at a preset frequency, causing the ultrasonic atomizing plate to generate ultrasonic waves at the same frequency. The ultrasonic atomizing plate is positioned at the top of the liquid chamber and generates pressure through the ultrasonic waves, atomizing the liquid medicine inside. The nozzle structure then sprays out the atomized liquid medicine. The liquid chamber is connected to the drug reservoir structure, allowing the liquid medicine to flow smoothly into it through a specific interface or channel. The ultrasonic atomizing plate, positioned at the top of the liquid chamber, generates ultrasonic waves of the same frequency when the oscillation circuit generates vibrations at the preset frequency. These ultrasonic waves create minute pressure changes within the liquid chamber, causing the liquid medicine to form fine droplets, thus achieving atomization. The oscillation circuit is responsible for generating vibrations at a preset frequency, thereby driving the ultrasonic atomizing plate to generate ultrasonic waves. The design of the oscillation circuit should ensure that it can generate a stable and reliable vibration frequency, and can be adjusted as needed. The oscillation circuit also usually includes frequency adjustment function and overheat protection function to adapt to different treatment needs and ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
[0006] Preferably, the oscillation circuit includes an ultrasonic transducer, a transistor, multiple inductors, multiple capacitors, a potentiometer, and multiple resistive elements. Ultrasonic transducer: The ultrasonic transducer is the key component in the oscillation circuit. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, i.e., ultrasonic vibration. This vibration acts on the ultrasonic atomizing plate, generating sufficient pressure to atomize the liquid medicine. Transducer: The transistor acts as an amplifier and switch in the oscillation circuit. It controls the operating state of the ultrasonic transducer based on changes in current and voltage in the circuit, ensuring that the generated ultrasonic vibration frequency is stable and adjustable. Inductors and capacitors: The inductors and capacitors together form a resonant circuit used to adjust the frequency and stability of the oscillation circuit. By adjusting the number of turns of the inductor and the capacitance of the capacitor, the operating frequency of the oscillation circuit can be precisely controlled, thus adapting to the atomization requirements of different liquid medicines. Potentiometer: The potentiometer is used to adjust the output power of the oscillation circuit. By adjusting the resistance value of the potentiometer, the amplitude of the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic transducer can be controlled, thereby controlling the atomization amount and atomization speed of the liquid medicine. Resistive elements: Resistive elements play a role in current limiting and voltage division in oscillating circuits. They can protect other components in the circuit from damage caused by excessive current or voltage, and ensure the stable operation of the circuit.
[0007] Preferably, the nozzle structure includes a flow tube, the top of which extends into the liquid chamber and the bottom of which extends into the inner region of the left cover, the cross-sectional area of which gradually decreases from top to bottom. The atomized drug increases the pressure inside the liquid chamber, causing the atomized drug to flow out along the flow tube. The design of the flow tube's gradually decreasing cross-sectional area from top to bottom is intended to generate a pressure difference as the drug flows from the liquid chamber to the outlet, thereby accelerating the flow of the drug and improving the atomization effect.
[0008] Preferably, the medication compartment structure contains a refillable nebulized medication solution. The medication compartment structure is detachably connected to the top of the nebulizer structure, and the bottom of the medication compartment structure connects to a liquid chamber via two openings. The medication compartment structure is filled with a refillable nebulized medication solution, which is specially formulated for inhalation via nebulization. Users can choose the appropriate type of medication solution based on their doctor's advice or their own needs. When the medication solution is depleted, users can easily refill the medication compartment with a simple operation.
[0009] Preferably, the protective structure includes a left protective section and a right protective section; wherein, the left protective section extends downward from the bottom of the atomizing module to the bottom edge of the left cover, and extends to the right along the bottom edge of the left cover to the right protective section; the left protective section extends downward from the bottom of the power module to the bottom edge of the right cover, and extends to the left along the bottom edge of the right cover to the left protective section; the connecting cable is disposed inside the left and right protective sections. The protective structure is divided into left and right protective sections, and this segmented design allows the protective structure to closely fit the shape of the left and right covers; the extension paths of the left and right protective sections not only ensure that the cable can be smoothly connected from the atomizing module to the power module, but also assist in the shape adjustment of the left and right covers, ensuring a stable fit to the user's skin; the connecting cable is disposed inside both the left and right protective sections, and the routing of the connecting cable inside the cover is completely protected and not easily affected by the external environment.
[0010] Preferably, the left and right protective sections have identical structures, each including symmetrically arranged left and right aluminum strip groups. These groups enclose a space within which the connecting cable is threaded. The left and right aluminum strip groups are deformable and possess a certain degree of shaping capability. Furthermore, the enclosing space not only provides physical protection for the connecting cable, preventing damage from the external environment such as abrasion and pulling, but also provides a certain degree of electromagnetic shielding.
[0011] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the left and right protective sections are provided with anti-slip textures. The anti-slip textures increase the surface friction coefficient, enabling the protective structure to generate sufficient friction when in contact with skin or other contact surfaces, preventing accidental detachment or displacement due to slippage.
[0012] Preferably, a liquid level sensor is installed inside the medicine tank structure. The purpose of installing the liquid level sensor inside the medicine tank structure is to enable real-time monitoring of the remaining amount of atomized medicine; the liquid level sensor can accurately sense changes in the liquid level inside the medicine tank and transmit this information to the control system; when the remaining liquid level is lower than a preset threshold, the control system can issue an alarm to remind the user to replenish the medicine in time.
[0013] Preferably, a deformable flexible crease is provided at the connection point between the left and right cover bodies. Providing a deformable flexible crease at the connection point between the left and right cover bodies is primarily to improve the adaptability and comfort of the mask.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:
[0015] In this invention, the atomizing module and power module are directly integrated on the left and right sides of the mask, eliminating the need for patients to hold the atomizer or connect tubing when wearing it. This integrated design greatly simplifies the operation and lowers the barrier to entry, allowing patients to easily and conveniently perform nebulization therapy. Furthermore, since the atomizing module and power module are directly integrated into the mask, patients are not restricted by the tubing connections of traditional nebulizers during nebulization therapy, allowing for greater freedom of movement, improving patient comfort and quality of life, and avoiding cross-infection issues.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an atomizing mask includes an integrally formed left cover 1 and a right cover 2. The left cover 1 is equipped with a zeroing module, and the right cover 2 is equipped with a power module 4. The atomizing module 3 includes a zeroing generating structure passing through the left cover 1. The top of the atomizing generating structure 31 is located outside the left cover 1 and connected to a medicine container structure 32. The bottom of the zeroing generating structure is located inside the left cover 1 and connected to a nozzle structure 33. The power module 4 includes a mounting housing 41 passing through the right cover 2. A controller is disposed inside the mounting housing 41. The controller is connected to the atomizing module 3 via a connecting cable, which passes through the left cover 1 and the right cover 2.
[0027] In this embodiment, when using the entire atomizing mask, the prepared medicine tank structure 32 is connected to the top of the atomizing generating structure 31 of the atomizing module 3 to ensure a firm connection and no risk of medicine leakage. Then, the left cover 1 and right cover 2 of the atomizing mask are placed on the left and right sides of the face to ensure that the mask fits the facial contours tightly. Then, the switch button on the power module 4 is pressed to start the battery circuit. At this time, the atomizing module 3 starts to work and sprays the atomized medicine from the nozzle structure 33. During the atomization treatment, the patient can inhale the atomized medicine into the respiratory tract through normal breathing. It should also be noted that the atomizing module 3 and the power module 4 are directly integrated into the left and right sides of the entire atomizing mask. This eliminates the need for patients to hold the atomizer or connect tubing when wearing it. This integrated design greatly simplifies the operation steps, lowers the barrier to entry, and allows patients to easily and conveniently perform atomization therapy. Furthermore, since the atomizing module 3 and the power module 4 are both directly integrated into the mask, patients are not restricted by the tubing connections of traditional atomizers when performing atomization therapy, allowing for greater freedom of movement, improving patient comfort and quality of life, and avoiding issues such as cross-infection.
[0028] In one embodiment, the atomizing structure 31 includes a liquid chamber 311, an ultrasonic atomizing plate 3121, and an oscillation circuit 312; wherein, the liquid chamber 311 is connected to the medicine storage structure 32 and is used to store the liquid medicine from the medicine storage structure 32; the oscillation circuit 312 is used to generate vibration at a preset frequency and cause the ultrasonic atomizing plate 3121 to generate ultrasonic waves at a preset frequency; the ultrasonic atomizing plate 3121 is disposed on the top of the liquid chamber 311 and is used to generate pressure through ultrasonic waves and atomize the liquid medicine inside the liquid chamber 311; the nozzle structure 33 sprays out the atomized liquid medicine.
[0029] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the liquid chamber 311 is connected to the drug reservoir structure 32, allowing the liquid medicine to flow smoothly into the liquid chamber 311 through a specific interface or channel. An ultrasonic atomizing plate 3121 is disposed at the top of the liquid chamber 311. When the oscillation circuit 312 generates vibrations at a preset frequency, the ultrasonic atomizing plate 3121 generates ultrasonic waves of the same frequency. These ultrasonic waves create minute pressure changes within the liquid chamber 311, causing the liquid medicine to form fine droplets inside the liquid chamber 311, thus achieving atomization of the liquid medicine. The oscillation circuit 312 is responsible for generating vibrations at the preset frequency, thereby driving the ultrasonic atomizing plate 3121 to generate ultrasonic waves. The design of the oscillation circuit 312 should ensure the generation of a stable and reliable vibration frequency, and be adjustable as needed. The oscillation circuit 312 also typically includes frequency adjustment and overheat protection functions to adapt to different treatment needs and ensure the safe operation of the device.
[0030] In one embodiment, the oscillation circuit 312 includes an ultrasonic transducer, a transistor, multiple inductors, multiple capacitors, a potentiometer, and multiple resistive elements.
[0031] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic transducer is a key component of the oscillation circuit 312. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, i.e., ultrasonic vibration. This vibration acts on the ultrasonic atomizing plate 3121, generating sufficient pressure to atomize the liquid medicine. The transistor acts as an amplifier and switch in the oscillation circuit 312. It controls the operating state of the ultrasonic transducer based on changes in current and voltage in the circuit, ensuring that the generated ultrasonic vibration frequency is stable and adjustable. The inductor and capacitor together form a resonant circuit used to adjust the frequency and stability of the oscillation circuit 312. By adjusting the number of turns of the inductor and the capacitance of the capacitor, the operating frequency of the oscillation circuit 312 can be precisely controlled, thus adapting to the atomization requirements of different liquid medicines. The potentiometer is used to adjust the output power of the oscillation circuit 312. By adjusting the resistance of the potentiometer, the amplitude of the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic transducer can be controlled, thereby controlling the atomization amount and speed of the liquid medicine. Resistive elements: In the oscillation circuit 312, resistive elements serve to limit current and divide voltage. They protect other components in the circuit from damage caused by excessive current or voltage, ensuring stable circuit operation. For example, the oscillation circuit 312 can be configured as follows: the base of the transistor is connected to the power supply and ground through a resistor and a potentiometer to set the operating point and adjust the frequency; the collector of the transistor is connected to one end of the ultrasonic transducer through an inductor and a capacitor to form positive feedback; the emitter of the transistor is connected to the other end of the ultrasonic transducer through a capacitor and a resistor to form negative feedback.
[0032] In one embodiment, the oscillation circuit 312 further includes a timer.
[0033] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the timer can be set to the working time interval of the ultrasonic transducer, for example, working for a period of time (e.g., seconds), stopping for a period of time (e.g., seconds), and then resuming operation. This intermittent working mode can simulate the user's breathing process, making the nebulization process more natural. Through intermittent nebulization, the medication can be distributed more evenly, avoiding over-nebulization of the medication in a short period of time, which would lead to waste and poor efficacy. The intermittent working mode means that the ultrasonic transducer does not work continuously, thereby reducing the amount of medication used and achieving the goal of saving medication.
[0034] This intermittent nebulization process better aligns with the user's breathing habits, making the experience more comfortable and natural. The more even distribution of the medication and the more stable nebulization effect may improve therapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, reducing the amount of medication used not only lowers user costs but also embodies the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection. In short, it improves effectiveness, saves medication, and enhances the user experience.
[0035] It should also be noted that the timer's interval needs to be set appropriately, based on the user's breathing rate and the properties of the medication, to achieve the best results. An intelligent adjustment mechanism can be introduced to automatically adjust the interval based on the user's actual usage. By collecting user feedback, the interval settings can be continuously optimized to meet the needs of more users.
[0036] In one embodiment, the nozzle structure 33 includes a flow tube 331, the top of which extends into the liquid chamber 311 and the bottom of which extends into the inner region of the left cover 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the atomized liquid increases the internal pressure of the liquid chamber 311, thereby causing the atomized liquid to flow out along the flow tube 331.
[0038] In one embodiment, the medicine tank structure 32 is provided with a replenishable atomized medicine liquid. The top of the medicine tank structure 32 is connected to the top of the atomizing structure 31 by a detachable connection. The bottom of the medicine tank structure 32 is connected to the liquid chamber 311 through two ports 321.
[0039] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the medication container structure 32 is filled with refillable nebulized medication, which is specially formulated for inhalation via nebulization. Users can choose the appropriate type of medication based on their doctor's advice or their own needs. When the medication is depleted, users can easily refill the container with new medication.
[0040] In one embodiment, the zeroing generation structure is further provided with an outer mask support 34 located on the outside of the left cover 1 and an inner mask support 35 located on the inside of the left cover 1, the outer mask support 34 and the inner mask support 35 clamping the left cover 1.
[0041] In this embodiment, it should be noted that by providing an outer mask support 34 and an inner mask support 35 around the atomizing structure 31, a stable clamping connection between the left mask body 1 and the atomizing structure 31 is achieved. This not only ensures a tight connection between the mask and the atomizing structure 31, but also effectively prevents the mask from shifting during atomization, thereby ensuring the uniformity and effectiveness of atomization and providing users with a more comfortable and efficient user experience.
[0042] In one embodiment, a magnetic accumulator is provided on the top of the atomizing structure 31, and the medicine container structure 32 is attached to the top of the atomizing structure 31 by the magnetic accumulator.
[0043] In this embodiment, it should be noted that a magnetic design is used to fix the medicine container structure 32 to the top of the atomizing structure 31 by magnetic attraction. This connection method is not only convenient and quick, but also ensures a tight fit between the medicine container and the atomizing structure 31.
[0044] In one embodiment, a liquid level sensor is provided inside the medicine storage structure 32.
[0045] In this embodiment, it should be noted that a liquid level sensor is installed in the medicine tank structure 32 to enable real-time monitoring of the remaining amount of atomized medicine. The liquid level sensor can accurately sense changes in the liquid level in the medicine tank and transmit this information to the control system. When the remaining amount of medicine is lower than a preset threshold, the control system can issue an alarm to remind the user to replenish the medicine in time.
[0046] In one embodiment, a deformable flexible crease 5 is provided at the connection position between the left cover 1 and the right cover 2.
[0047] In this embodiment, it should be noted that a deformable flexible crease 5 is provided at the connection position between the left cover 1 and the right cover 2, mainly to improve the adaptability and comfort of the mask.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
