Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing technology for patients with COPD, and in particular to a lung-clearing and sputum-expelling device for the nursing of patients with COPD. Background Technology
[0002] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease characterized by airflow obstruction, which is a form of chronic bronchitis and / or emphysema that can progress to pulmonary heart disease and respiratory failure. COPD is a common, preventable, and treatable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation. This airflow limitation is progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response of the airways and lungs to toxic particles or gases. In the care of COPD patients, it is necessary to use a lung clearance device to clear sputum from the body.
[0003] A search of the Chinese patent "A Lung Clearing and Sputum Removal Device for COPD Patients" (publication number CN218187414U) reveals that this patent uses a miniature water pump to deliver lubricating fluid from the storage tank to the annular drainage block of the lubrication assembly via an infusion tube. The lubricating fluid is then discharged through several drainage holes onto the inner wall of the suction tube, thus lubricating the inner wall of the suction tube. Simultaneously, the lubricating fluid dilutes the sputum, preventing it from adhering to the tube wall. This not only ensures effective sputum removal but also prevents tube blockage, thus guaranteeing the normal operation of lung clearing and sputum removal. However, this device is not ideal for cleaning the sputum inside the suction tube after removal, making rapid disinfection and cleaning of the suction device inconvenient and reducing its overall effectiveness.
[0004] Therefore, a lung-clearing and sputum-expelling device for the care of COPD patients is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lung-clearing and sputum-expelling device for the care of COPD patients in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, thereby improving the inconvenience of quickly disinfecting and cleaning the suction device.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing nut is threaded to one side of the box body, and one end of the fixing nut passes through the box body and is threaded to the collecting plate. The fixing nut can limit and fix the collecting plate to prevent it from loosening during use.
[0011] Preferably, an installation groove is provided on the other side of the inner wall of the box, and a liquid storage cylinder is provided on the inner wall of the installation groove. One end of another water guide pipe is connected to the liquid storage cylinder. Physiological saline or disinfectant can be placed in the liquid storage cylinder to clean the suction pipe in conjunction with the water pump.
[0012] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a placement slot on the top of the other side of the housing, the inner wall of the placement slot is provided with several suction tubes, one end of each suction tube is rotatably connected to a fixing sleeve, the inner wall of the fixing sleeve is provided with a sealing gasket, the fixing sleeve is threadedly connected to the guide tube, and the fixing sleeve is rotated to connect to the guide tube for installation and use of the suction tube. The sealing gasket can improve the sealing performance of the suction tube.
[0013] Preferably, one side of the inhalation tube is connected to a connecting tube, one end of the connecting tube is fitted with a baffle, and one end of the inner wall of the connecting tube has two slots that engage with a locking block. The inhalation tube is connected to the delivery tube through the engagement of the slots and the locking block, and the baffle improves the sealing of the inhalation tube when suctioning sputum.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] By incorporating a cleaning mechanism, when using the lung-clearing and sputum-expelling device, the inhalation tube can be placed in the cleaning tank. The water pump delivers saline solution from the reservoir to the delivery ring via two water pipes. The delivery ring, in conjunction with the nozzle, sprays out saline solution to clean the sputum on the surface of the inhalation tube. The delivery tube, connected to the inhalation tube by two clamps, delivers saline solution into the inhalation tube to clean the sputum. This allows for rapid cleaning of the inhalation tube, improving the device's cleaning effect. The collection plate collects the cleaned sputum and saline solution, and the fixing nut secures the collection plate. The reservoir can hold saline solution and disinfectant, further enhancing the device's cleaning effect and enabling rapid and comprehensive cleaning of the inhalation tube, thus improving the device's overall performance.
[0016] By setting up a connecting component, when using the lung-clearing and sputum-expelling device, the inhalation tube can be connected to the delivery tube by engaging with two locking blocks on the outer wall of the delivery tube through a slot inside the connecting tube, allowing the clearing fluid to be delivered into the inhalation tube. The baffle improves the sealing of the inhalation tube during sputum suction. The inhalation tube can be connected to the catheter through a fixing sleeve to perform sputum suction on the patient. The sealing gasket can improve the sealing of the inhalation tube and allows for quick installation and fixation of the inhalation tube, improving the effectiveness of the device.
