Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of respiratory training devices, specifically a lung capacity training device for internal medicine nursing. Background Technology
[0002] The three-ball breathing trainer is a rehabilitation device that trains respiratory muscles through graded resistance. Its principle is based on airflow dynamics and respiratory muscle strengthening mechanisms, and it is widely used in lung capacity training in internal medicine nursing. Its basic structure includes:
[0003] Three independent spheres (usually different colors, such as green, yellow, and red), each corresponding to a different level of airflow resistance;
[0004] A transparent vertical tube, with a sphere placed inside. The sphere's levitation height is controlled by the airflow generated by inhalation or exhalation.
[0005] Mouthpiece / mask interface, through which the patient performs breathing actions and connects to the trainer;
[0006] When the patient inhales or exhales, the airflow creates a pressure difference through the tube. The greater the airflow speed, the higher the ball rises until it is suspended at the top of the tube (maintaining suspension requires a continuous and stable airflow). The three-ball breathing trainer motivates patients to perform progressive respiratory muscle resistance training through visual feedback (ball suspension). Combining physiological principles with the needs of rehabilitation medicine, it effectively improves respiratory function and has both assessment and treatment functions.
[0007] Existing three-ball breathing trainers on the market, except for the mouthpiece / mask interface which can be disassembled, have other structures that are assembled and fixed together, making them difficult to disassemble and clean. When patients blow air, the exhaled air carries some liquid directly into the three-ball device, leaving behind the patient's exhaled air and liquid. The accumulation of residual air and liquid breeds bacteria, which can worsen the patient's condition. Based on this, a lung capacity training device for internal medicine nursing is provided.

[0031] Three transparent vertical tubes 104 and three floats 105 are provided. The three transparent vertical tubes 104 are horizontally distributed and fixed to the bottom of the air blowing tube 102 and are connected to the inner cavity of the air blowing tube 102. The transparent concave seat 201 is sleeved and fixed to the outside of the three transparent vertical tubes 104. The bottom of the transparent vertical tube 104 extends to the bottom of the transparent concave seat 201 and has an open structure. The three floats 105 are installed inside the transparent vertical tube 104 from the bottom of the transparent vertical tube 104.
[0032] One end of the three-way connector 101 is horizontally sleeved on the outside of the air blowing tube 102. The through hole 202 is opened on the upper surface of the transparent concave seat 201 and completely penetrates the bottom of the transparent concave seat 201. The suction cylinder 106 passes through the through hole 202 from below the transparent concave seat 201 and is inserted into the inside of the bottom port of the three-way connector 101. The suction cylinder 106 and the transparent vertical tube 104 are distributed in parallel.
[0033] There are four docking seats 204, which are horizontally arranged on the top of the docking seats 204. The positions of the docking seats 204 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the three transparent vertical tubes 104 and the air suction cylinder 106.
[0034] The docking seat 204 is attached to the lower surface of the transparent concave seat 201, and the bottom of the transparent vertical tube 104 and the air suction cylinder 106 are inserted into the inner side of the docking seat 204 to realize the mutual assembly and positioning of the air blowing pipe 102, the three-way connector 101 and the air suction cylinder 106.
[0035] The mating holes 203 are opened at the four top corners of the transparent concave seat 201 and pass through the bottom of the transparent concave seat 201;
[0036] Four studs 209 are provided, and the four studs 209 are fixed at the four end corners of the top of the mating seat 204 and correspond one-to-one with the position of the mating hole 203;
[0037] The stud 209 passes through the docking hole 203 to the top of the transparent concave seat 201, and is tightened by the locking sleeve 210 to the stud 209, so as to realize the assembly and fixation of the breathing trainer assembly 1 and the combined base assembly 2.
[0038] The bottom of the docking seat 204 corresponding to the air intake cylinder 106 is also provided with a through hole extending to the bottom of the docking seat 204. An air intake regulating valve 208 is provided at the bottom of the docking seat 204 located at the through hole position, and an air blowing regulating valve 103 is provided at the top of the air blowing pipe 102.
[0039] In this embodiment: the breathing trainer component 1 is assembled as follows:
[0040] First, connect one horizontal port of the tee connector 101 to the air tube 102 (it should be noted that the end of the air tube 102 away from the tee connector 101 is sealed), and align the vertical port of the tee connector 101 with the through hole 202 on the transparent concave seat 201.
[0041] The second step is to insert the air blower 106 through the through hole 202 from below the transparent concave seat 201 and into the inside of the vertical port of the tee connector 101. At this time, the bottom of the air blower 106 protrudes from below the transparent concave seat 201 (it should be noted that the air blower 106 is open at both the top and bottom).
[0042] The third step is to place the three different colored floats 105 into the corresponding transparent vertical tubes 104 (it should be noted that the color and distribution of the floats 105 are the same as the existing three-ball breathing trainer, and will not be repeated here).
[0043] The fourth step is to align the insertion slot 205 of the docking seat 204 with the three transparent vertical tubes 104 and the air blower 106, and press them into the inside of the transparent concave seat 201, so that the bottom of the three transparent vertical tubes 104 and the air blower 106 are inserted into the inside of the insertion slot 205. At the same time, the stud 209 passes through the docking hole 203 to the top of the transparent concave seat 201.
[0044] The fifth step is to thread the locking sleeve 210 to the stud 209 and tighten it so that the locking sleeve 210 fits tightly against the top of the transparent concave seat 201;
[0045] The above steps can be used to easily assemble the breathing trainer component 1. After use, the above steps can be reversed to disassemble it. The detachable breathing trainer component 1 facilitates subsequent cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, effectively avoiding cleaning dead corners, thus ensuring the safety of secondary use.
[0046] It should also be noted that the port of the three-way connector 101 furthest from the blowing tube 102 is used to connect the mouthpiece / mask interface. When blowing, the inhalation regulating valve 208 is in the closed state, and the blowing regulating valve 103 adjusts and controls the size of the air outlet. When inhaling, the blowing regulating valve 103 is in the closed state, and the inhalation regulating valve 208 adjusts and controls the size of the air inlet. The principle of its breathing trainer component 1 is the same as that of the three-ball breathing trainers commonly found on the market, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0047] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 3-4 An annular groove 206 is provided on the inner side of the insertion slot 205. A sealing ring 207 is installed on the inner side of the annular groove 206.
