Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of respiratory training technology, and more specifically, relates to a respiratory training device suitable for elderly lung cancer patients. Background Technology
[0002] Elderly lung cancer patients often experience impaired lung function due to the disease itself and potential treatments such as surgery, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath and decreased vital capacity. Therefore, after their condition stabilizes, especially during the post-operative recovery phase and during or after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, elderly lung cancer patients need respiratory training to help strengthen their respiratory muscles, improve lung ventilation and gas exchange, reduce shortness of breath and pulmonary complications, thereby accelerating the recovery process and improving their quality of life.
[0003] Currently widely used respiratory training devices, such as intelligent respiratory trainers, while offering a wide range of functions, are relatively complex to operate and not entirely suitable for the daily use of elderly lung cancer patients. In contrast, non-intelligent three-ball respiratory trainers, although simple and intuitive to operate, rely solely on the movement of small balls within the cavity for their training mechanism. This method is monotonous and lacks engagement, making it difficult to motivate elderly lung cancer patients to maintain sustained training motivation. Furthermore, they fail to provide effective training guidance, thus increasing the workload of nursing staff. In addition, the integrated design of existing respiratory training devices makes it difficult to remove and disinfect condensation and impurities generated by frequent breathing, posing a potential safety risk to elderly lung cancer patients. Therefore, existing respiratory training devices still have significant room for improvement and urgently require further refinement. Utility Model Content

[0046] Reference Figure 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a breathing training device suitable for elderly lung cancer patients, including a housing 1, a training component, and a training auxiliary component;
[0047] A window 2, which is visible, is provided on the housing 1;
[0048] The training components include a training tube 3, a training ball 4, a telescopic hose 5, and a suction nozzle 6. The training tube 3 is detachably disposed within the housing 1. The training ball 4 is movably disposed within the training tube 3 and is configured to allow observation of its activity through the window 2. One end of the telescopic hose 5 is connected to the training tube 3, and the other end passes through the housing 1 and is connected to the suction nozzle 6.
[0049] The training aid includes an adjustment frame 7 set on the window 2, and several sliders 8 are fitted on the adjustment frame 7 for recording the movement distance of the training ball 4 according to its activity state.
[0050] In one specific embodiment, the window 2 consists of an opening on the housing 1 and a transparent plate installed within the opening. Specifically, the transparent plate can be made of plastic or glass.
[0051] In one embodiment, a rear cover (not shown) for disassembling the training tube 3 is provided on the side of the housing 1 opposite to the window 2.
[0052] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove 9 for mounting the rear cover.
[0053] In one specific embodiment, both the training tube 3 and the adjustment frame 7 are serpentine in shape. Compared to the structure of a three-ball breathing trainer with three cavities, each containing a small ball, the serpentine training tube of this invention is more convenient for observation by elderly lung cancer patients with declining physical functions such as vision or mental capacity. Furthermore, the shape of the training tube in this invention already provides a certain level of resistance, thus eliminating the need for resistance adjustment and making it more suitable for use by elderly lung cancer patients.
[0054] Specifically, the training tube is a fully transparent or partially transparent enclosed structure made of transparent plastic. The training tube, within the housing, can be positioned to limit its movement through its own arrangement with the telescopic hose and the voice announcer, or through other limiting structures. This invention is not limited to any particular type; any other limiting structure that allows for direct observation of the training tube's movement and facilitates its disassembly is acceptable.
[0055] In one embodiment, a limiting frame 10 is provided on the housing 1 to limit the telescopic hose 5. Specifically, the telescopic hose is divided into a first telescopic section and a second telescopic section. The first telescopic section is disposed inside the housing, and the second telescopic section can be limited by the limiting frame. When using it, elderly lung cancer patients can first unfold the first telescopic section. If this does not meet their training needs, the second telescopic section can then be unfolded. This reduces the workload of storage after use for elderly lung cancer patients and makes it more convenient for them to use.
[0056] In one embodiment, one end of the training tube 3 is provided with a fastener 11 for fixing the telescopic hose 5.
[0057] In one specific embodiment, the fastener 11 is a clamp.
[0058] Specifically, the clamp design facilitates the connection or separation of the training tube and the telescopic hose, thereby making it easier to clean and disinfect the training tube and the telescopic hose separately.
[0059] In one embodiment, a support plate 12 for carrying the suction nozzle 6 is detachably provided on the housing 1.
[0060] In one specific embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a limiting block 13 for installing the carrier plate 12.
[0061] Specifically, the support tray is designed to hold nozzles that are not in use, preventing them from being contaminated by external sources and affecting their use. The limiting block facilitates the cleaning and disinfection of the support tray, removing condensation and other impurities that may have accumulated inside the tray due to the nozzle being inverted.
[0062] In one embodiment, the training aid component further includes a voice broadcaster 14 disposed on one side of the training tube 3, which is used to guide breathing training for elderly lung cancer patients.
[0063] In one specific embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with control keys 15 for controlling the voice broadcaster 14.
[0064] Specifically, breathing training includes various breathing methods such as diaphragmatic breathing, and each breathing method has a corresponding training posture. The voice broadcaster contains instructions corresponding to the breathing type, enabling elderly lung cancer patients to choose the appropriate instructions for breathing training to achieve better training results.
[0065] In one specific embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a handle 16 to facilitate the movement of the housing 1.
[0066] In use, the breathing training device of this invention allows the mouthpiece and telescopic hose to be pulled out from the support platform and limiting frame respectively. Then, the first telescopic section of the telescopic hose is pulled to extend it, allowing the mouthpiece to be placed in the mouth of the elderly lung cancer patient. The patient can then perform inhalation or exhalation training using the mouthpiece and voice announcer. During training, the training ball moves within the training tube under external force. After each inhalation or exhalation training session, the patient can move the slider to the same position on the adjustment frame as the training ball's stop position to record the distance the ball travels. After training, the patient or caregiver can summarize the training based on the positions of the sliders. Furthermore, the training tube and telescopic hose can be removed through the rear cover for cleaning and disinfection.
[0067] This invention proposes a breathing training device for elderly lung cancer patients. It includes a training component and a training auxiliary component, with the training tube detachably housed within the casing. A training ball is movable within the training tube and configured to allow observation of its movement through a window. One end of a telescopic hose is connected to the training tube, and the other end passes through the casing and connects to the mouthpiece. Several sliders are mounted on an adjustment frame to record the movement distance of the training ball based on its movement. Compared to existing breathing training devices, this invention is simple to operate, and the adjustment frame and sliders increase the enjoyment of training, thus motivating elderly lung cancer patients to maintain sustained training. Furthermore, the detachable training tube facilitates cleaning and disinfection of the training tube and telescopic hose after use, ensuring the safety of use for elderly lung cancer patients.
[0068] Furthermore, the voice broadcaster of this invention can guide the training process of elderly lung cancer patients, enabling them to perform breathing training independently and effectively reducing the burden on nursing staff.
[0069] While one or more embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention can be implemented in any other form without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, the embodiments described above are illustrative and not restrictive, and many modifications and substitutions will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
