Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical nose clips, specifically a wearable nose clip that can be used in conjunction with lung function. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of pediatric medicine, pulmonary function testing is a key means of assessing the health of children's respiratory system. For children with respiratory diseases such as asthma and bronchitis, accurate pulmonary function test data not only helps doctors diagnose the disease early, but also provides crucial information for the formulation and adjustment of subsequent treatment plans, directly affecting the child's recovery process and quality of life.

[0003] With the development of medical technology, wearable nose clips that can be used in conjunction with lung function testing have emerged, bringing certain conveniences to children's lung function testing. When children undergo lung function testing, wearable nose clips can help them more accurately control their breathing airflow, avoid interference from external gases, and thus improve the accuracy of the test data.

[0004] However, existing wearable nose clips for pediatric use in conjunction with lung function tests have several drawbacks. Firstly, the clips easily fall off children's noses. Children are naturally active and find it difficult to remain still for extended periods during lung function tests; their frequent movements make the clips prone to falling off. Once the clip falls off, the test data becomes inaccurate, making it difficult for doctors to accurately assess the child's lung function, often requiring a retest. This not only increases testing costs but may also cause children to develop a negative attitude towards testing. Secondly, the inconvenience of holding the clip is also a significant issue. Children's nasal cavities are delicate, and existing nose clip designs do not adequately consider children's physiological characteristics in terms of clamping force and method. Either the clip is too tight, causing discomfort or even damage to the nasal mucosa, or it is too loose to provide the intended effect. Moreover, putting on and adjusting the nose clip is too complicated for children, even with the assistance of parents or medical staff, significantly reducing the efficiency and success rate of the tests. Therefore, developing a new type of wearable nose clip for pediatric use that effectively solves the problems of easy clip falling off and inconvenient holding is urgently needed. This will not only improve the accuracy and efficiency of pediatric lung function testing, but also reduce the discomfort children experience during the testing process, providing stronger support for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric respiratory diseases. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, a wearable nose clip that can be used with lung function tests is provided to solve the problems of existing nose clips being easy to fall off and uncomfortable to wear, so as to improve the accuracy and efficiency of lung function testing for children and reduce the discomfort of children during the testing process.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model proposes a wearable nose clip that can be used in conjunction with pulmonary function testing, comprising:

[0007] The elastic clamp includes two sets of flexible clamping heads for clamping on both sides of the nose, and the two sets of flexible clamping heads are connected as one unit by an elastic bow;

[0008] The elastic arm is connected at one end to the middle of the elastic bow, and at the other end extends along the nose towards the forehead.

[0009] A head-clamping bow is fitted onto the forehead, with one end of the elastic arm connected to the middle section of the head-clamping bow.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, two sets of cheek support pieces are also included. The cheek support pieces are made of flexible material and are disposed on the elastic arch and abut against the cheeks on both sides of the nose.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the length of the elastic arm is adjustable.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, a flexible connector is provided at the middle section of the elastic bow, the flexible connector abuts against the bridge of the nose of the nose body, one end of the elastic arm is connected to the flexible connector, and a connecting crossbar is rotatably provided on the flexible connector. The middle sections of the two sets of cheek support pieces are movably connected to the end of the connecting crossbar.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the elastic arm includes a connecting track piece and an elastic steel sheet. One end of the connecting track piece is connected to the flexible connector. A groove is provided along the length of the connecting track piece. The elastic steel sheet is slidably disposed in the groove. One end of the elastic steel sheet is connected to the middle section of the head clamping bow.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, one end of the elastic steel sheet is hinged to the middle section of the head clamping bow.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, a spring sheet is provided between the elastic steel sheet and the head clamping bow.

[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, the spring sheet is integrally folded plate shaped, one side of the spring sheet is connected to the outer side of one end of the elastic steel sheet, a backing plate is suspended in the middle section of the head clamping bow, and the other side of the spring sheet abuts against the backing plate.

[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, a locking nut is provided on the connecting track piece, and one end of the locking nut abuts against the outer side of the elastic steel sheet.

[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, the head clamping bow is generally in the shape of an arc sheet, and headbands are provided at both ends of the head clamping bow.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the technical effect of this utility model is as follows: the wearable nose clip can significantly improve the wearing stability in actual use. Through the unique design of the elastic arm and the head clamping bow, the nose clip is tightly connected to the head. One end of the elastic arm is connected to the middle of the elastic bow, and the other end extends to the forehead and connects to the head clamping bow, forming a stable triangular support structure. This structure allows the nose clip to be firmly fixed on the nose even when the child is frequently moving during lung function testing, effectively solving the problem that the clip is easy to fall off the nose, ensuring the accuracy of the data during the testing process, avoiding repeated testing due to the nose clip falling off, and reducing testing costs and time consumption.

[0020] The flexible clip uses a flexible clamping head, which can better fit the delicate nose wings of children, avoiding the damage to the nasal mucosa caused by the traditional nose clip clamping too tightly. At the same time, it also prevents the situation where it clamps too loosely and cannot work properly. The flexible clamping head provides sufficient clamping force while minimizing the discomfort of children when wearing it, allowing children to complete the lung function test more easily, and improving children's acceptance and cooperation with the test.

[0021] The nose clip has a simple and clear design. When wearing it, simply clip the elastic clip on both sides of the nose and then put the head clip on the forehead. There is no complicated adjustment process. Parents or medical staff can easily assist children in wearing it. Even children can wear it quickly with simple guidance, which greatly improves the efficiency and success rate of the test and provides convenience for the smooth conduct of lung function tests.

[0022] Due to its stability and comfort, this nose clip is not only suitable for lung function testing in professional medical settings such as hospitals, but also for children to monitor their daily lung function at home. This allows parents to easily understand their child's respiratory health status and provides an effective tool for long-term tracking of the development and treatment effects of children's respiratory diseases.

[0030] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0031] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this utility model. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this utility model and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0032] Existing wearable nose clips for pediatric lung function testing have several drawbacks. Firstly, the clips easily fall off children's noses. Children are naturally active and find it difficult to remain still and cooperate for extended periods during lung function testing; their frequent movements make the nose clips prone to falling off. Once the clip falls off, the test data becomes inaccurate, making it difficult for doctors to accurately assess the child's lung function, often requiring a repeat test. This not only increases testing costs but may also cause children to develop a negative attitude towards testing. Secondly, the inconvenience of holding the clip is also a significant issue. Children's nasal cavities are delicate, and existing nasal clip designs do not fully consider children's physiological characteristics in terms of clamping force and method. Either the clamp is too tight, causing discomfort or even damage to the nasal mucosa, or it is too loose, failing to achieve the desired effect. Moreover, the wearing and adjustment of nasal clips is too complicated for children, even with the assistance of parents or medical staff, making it difficult to complete smoothly, greatly reducing the efficiency and success rate of testing. To address this, a wearable nasal clip for pulmonary function testing is proposed, comprising an elastic clip body 10, including two sets of flexible clamping heads 11 for clamping on both sides of the nasal wings, the two sets of flexible clamping heads 11 being connected as one unit by an elastic bow 12; an elastic arm 20, one end of which is connected to the middle of the elastic bow 12, and the other end extending along the nasal body towards the forehead; and a head clamping bow 30, which is fitted on the forehead, with one end of the elastic arm 20 connected to the middle of the head clamping bow 30.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The flexible support head 11 can be made of extremely soft silicone with high flexibility. Anti-slip protrusions are provided on the flexible support head 11 to prevent it from falling off when the entire elastic clamp 10 is supported on the nostrils of a child. A skeleton can be set inside the flexible support head 11, and the flexible support head 11 covers the skeleton.

[0034] In one embodiment, the elastic bow 12 is made of a highly elastic polymer material, which is lightweight and prevents breakage. The outline of the elastic bow 12 extends in line with the side outline of the nose, providing high wearing comfort.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The elastic arm 20 itself has a certain degree of elasticity, which can tightly connect the nose clip to the head with the elastic clamp 10. One end of the elastic arm 20 is connected to the middle of the elastic bow 12, and the other end extends to the forehead and connects to the head clamping bow 30, forming a stable triangular support structure. This structure allows the nose clip to be firmly fixed on the nose even when the child moves frequently during lung function testing, effectively solving the problem that the clip is easy to fall off the nose.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 To ensure that the elastic clip 10 is stably attached to the child's nose and to increase wearing comfort, two sets of cheek support pieces 40 are also included. The cheek support pieces 40 are made of flexible material and are disposed on the elastic arch 12 and abut against the cheeks on both sides of the nose.

[0037] In one embodiment, the two newly added cheek support pieces 40 further enhance stability. The cheek support pieces 40 are set on the elastic arch 12 and abut against the cheeks on both sides of the nose, providing additional support for the nose clip in the horizontal direction and adding two stable "small anchor points" to the nose clip. When the child shakes his head from side to side during the lung function test, the cheek support pieces can effectively prevent the nose clip from shifting, ensuring that the nose clip is firmly fixed on the nose in all directions, greatly improving the accuracy of the test data and avoiding the cost and time loss caused by repeated tests.

[0038] In one embodiment, the length of the elastic arm 20 is adjustable to increase the actual usability of the wearable nose clip.

[0039] In one embodiment, a flexible connector 121 is provided at the middle section of the elastic bow 12, the flexible connector 121 abuts against the bridge of the nose, one end of the elastic arm 20 is connected to the flexible connector 121, and a connecting crossbar 122 is rotatably provided on the flexible connector 121, the middle section of the two sets of cheek support pieces 40 is movably connected to the end of the connecting crossbar 122.

[0040] In one embodiment, to increase comfort, the flexible connector 121 is made of flexible silicone, which reduces discomfort when it comes into contact with the bridge of the nose. The elastic arch 12 itself can serve as the connecting skeleton of the elastic arm 20.

[0041] In one embodiment, the two sets of cheek support pieces 40 are also made of flexible silicone or plastic, and the cheek support pieces 40 and the connecting crossbar 122 can form a movable connection so that the cheek support pieces 40 can fit against the cheeks on both sides of the child's nose to form an "anchor point" and increase stability.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 To achieve the adjustment of the length of the elastic arm 20, the elastic arm 20 includes a connecting track plate 21 and an elastic steel plate 22. One end of the connecting track plate 21 is connected to the flexible connector 121. The connecting track plate 21 is provided with a groove 211 in the length direction. The elastic steel plate 22 is slidably disposed in the groove 211. One end of the elastic steel plate 22 is connected to the middle section of the head clamping bow 30.

[0043] Specifically, one end of the elastic steel sheet 22 is hinged to the middle section of the head clamping bow 30.

[0044] In a further preferred embodiment, a spring sheet 23 is provided between the elastic steel sheet 22 and the head clamping bow 30.

[0045] Preferably, the spring sheet 23 is integrally folded plate shaped, with one side of the spring sheet 23 connected to the outer side of one end of the elastic steel sheet 22. The middle section of the head clamping bow 30 has a stop plate 31 extending outwards, and the other side of the spring sheet 23 abuts against the stop plate 31 to form a stable triangular support structure. This structure allows the nose clip to be firmly fixed on the nose even when the child is frequently moving during lung function testing, effectively solving the problem that the clip is easy to fall off the nose.

[0046] Furthermore, to facilitate the adjustment of the length of the elastic arm 20, a locking nut 212 is provided on the connecting track piece 21, one end of which abuts against the outer side of the elastic steel piece 22.

[0047] In one embodiment, the head clamping bow 30 is generally arc-shaped, and headbands 32 are provided at both ends of the head clamping bow 30.

[0048] In one embodiment, the headband 32 may be an elastic bandage that can accommodate more children.

[0049] In another embodiment, Velcro may be provided on the headband 32 to facilitate adjustment of the length of the headband 32.

[0050] In one embodiment, a back pad is provided on the headband 32 and is located in the middle of the headband 32 to increase wearing comfort.

[0051] In summary, this wearable nose clip significantly improves stability during actual use, effectively solving the problem of clips easily falling off the nose, ensuring the accuracy of data during testing, avoiding repeated testing due to the nose clip falling off, reducing testing costs and time consumption, avoiding damage to the nasal mucosa caused by traditional nose clips clamping too tightly, and also preventing situations where the clip is too loose and cannot work properly. The flexible clamping head 11 provides sufficient clamping force while minimizing discomfort for children when wearing it, allowing children to complete lung function tests more easily, and improving children's acceptance and cooperation with the test.

[0052] Due to its stability and comfort, this nose clip is not only suitable for lung function testing in professional medical settings such as hospitals, but also for children to monitor their daily lung function at home. This allows parents to easily understand their child's respiratory health status and provides an effective tool for long-term tracking of the development and treatment effects of children's respiratory diseases.
