[0022] The utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0023] Reference is made to the drawings Figs. 1 to 4The application discloses a portable lung function detector, which comprises a shell, an air flow channel, a flow sensor, a disposable mouthpiece and a dustproof plug.

[0024] The flow sensor 5 is electrically connected with a circuit control board 8, the circuit control board 8 is connected with a display screen 9, a power module and a control switch 10, the display screen 9 is arranged in the shell and used for displaying measurement data, and sponge is filled between the display screen 9 and the circuit control board 8. The power module is used for providing power, and the control switch 10 is a switch key of the detector. The circuit control board 8 is a micro control unit containing a single-chip microcomputer or an FPGA.

[0025] The air flow channel 3 comprises a front section, a middle section and a rear section. The front section is a small-diameter cylindrical thin-wall structure and is connected with the disposable mouthpiece 6. The rear section is a circular-rectangular thin-wall structure, and the mounting groove 4 is arranged in the middle of the rear section. The middle section is a transition section and is connected with the front section at one end and connected with the rear section at the other end. In other words, the shape of the front end of the middle section is the same as that of the front section. The shape of the rear end of the middle section is the same as that of the rear section. The inner surface of the air flow channel 3 is smooth. The sizes of the various parts are smooth and the size of the disposable mouthpiece 6 is small, so that a user can conveniently blow air. When the blown air enters the front section of the air flow channel 3, the gas flow speed is relatively fast. After the air passes through the middle section and enters the rear section, the gas flow speed is reduced. The inner wall of the air flow channel is smooth, the blown air still maintains stability after entering the rear section and then contacts the flow sensor 5. After the flow sensor 5 measures the flow speed, a signal is transmitted to the circuit control board 8 to calculate real-time flow and display the real-time flow on the display screen 9.

[0026] The flow sensor 5 is a MEMS hot-film flow sensor 5. The MEMS hot-film flow sensor 5 measures the gas flow speed based on the heat conduction principle. The sensor has a small volume, a thickness less than 2 mm and an area less than 0.5 square millimeters, and is beneficial to the integration and miniaturization of the equipment. The sensor has high sensitivity and precision, high sensitivity under low flow speed working conditions, wide measurement range, fast response speed and a long service life.

[0027] The circuit control board 8 is also electrically connected with a Bluetooth module 11 and a buzzer 12, respectively, and the Bluetooth module 11 can facilitate communication with mobile phones, computers and other devices, so as to facilitate checking and sharing of detected data. The power module includes a lithium battery 13 and a type-c charging interface 14.

[0028] In use, first install the disposable mouthpiece 6, remove the dust plug 7, press and hold the control switch 10, and the display screen 9 is lit, so that lung function detection can be started. After a user takes a deep breath, air is blown through the disposable mouthpiece 6 to the air flow channel 3, the exhaled gas passes through the air flow channel 3, and the gas passes through the flow sensor 5, which tests the gas flow rate in real time and outputs a signal. The signal data is processed and stored by the circuit control board 8, connected with a mobile phone and a computer through the Bluetooth module 11, and information transmission is performed. After detection is completed, the disposable mouthpiece 6 is removed, and the dust plug 7 is installed back.
