Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a handheld nebulizer. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of nebulizers currently in use. When patients go to the hospital for nebulization therapy, they put the medication in a bottle, wear a mask on their face, and the medication is delivered into the patient's mouth through heating and atomization. However, because the medication inlet is at the bottom of the bottle, patients need to remain seated to allow the medication to be drawn upwards. This is inconvenient for young children or frail elderly people, reducing their comfort during nebulization therapy. Furthermore, the medication bottle, with its ventilation tube, cannot be laid flat on a table, making it inconvenient to place. Therefore, a new type of handheld nebulizer is designed to overcome these technical shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0003] (1) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a handheld nebulizer. This nebulizer aims to solve the technical problems of requiring patients to maintain a sitting posture when performing nebulization therapy, which reduces the comfort of patients during nebulization therapy, and the inconvenience of placing the medicine bottle on the table when there is a ventilation tube.

[0005] (2) Technical solution

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a handheld nebulizer, which includes a nebulizing cartridge, a mist outlet tube at the top of the nebulizing cartridge, a receiving tube at the bottom of the nebulizing cartridge with a groove on its outer surface, a base below the receiving tube, a bracket rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the nebulizing cartridge, a first connecting tube inside the right end of the bracket, and a second connecting tube rotatably mounted on the right end of the first connecting tube, a movable tube inside the bracket with its two ends rotatably mounted to the mist outlet tube and the first connecting tube respectively, a nebulizing mask on the right side of the second connecting tube with a strap on its outer surface, and a counterweight made of stainless steel inside the base.

[0007] When using the nebulizer of this technical solution, the ventilation tube is inserted into the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge for installation. Then, the ventilation tube is placed inside the tube groove, and the base is inserted into the bottom of the receiving tube for installation. This allows the ventilation tube and the nebulizer cartridge connector to be stored, preventing the ventilation tube from pressing against the nebulizer cartridge and the table surface, making it easy for the nebulizer cartridge to stand upright for convenient use. Simultaneously, the weight of the counterweight increases the bottom weight of the nebulizer cartridge when standing, ensuring its stability. The two ends of the movable tube are respectively installed onto the surfaces of the first connecting tube and the mist outlet tube, and then the nebulizing mask is installed onto the second connecting tube. When using this nebulizer, when the patient's left... When tilted to the right, the rotational installation of the second and first connecting tubes causes the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge to rotate within the second connecting tube, pulling the first connecting tube to rotate. This keeps the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge at its lowest point. When the patient leans forward or lies flat, the weight of the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge causes it to rotate and move within the support, ensuring the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge remains at its lowest point. The nebulized medication then passes through the outlet tube, the movable tube, the first connecting tube, and the second connecting tube into the nebulizer mask for the patient to absorb. This design keeps the nebulizer cartridge in a vertical position, allowing the patient to change positions for nebulization therapy and ensuring comfort during treatment.

[0008] Preferably, an airbag strip is installed on the outer surface of the nebulizer mask. The airbag strip increases the comfort of the patient when wearing the nebulizer mask.

[0009] Furthermore, positioning rods are installed on the outer surfaces of both the mist outlet pipe and the first connecting pipe, and positioning plates are installed at both ends of the movable pipe, with positioning holes formed on the outer surface of the positioning plates. By using the positioning rods, positioning plates, and positioning holes, the positioning rods are inserted into the positioning holes and fixed in place by pulling on the positioning plates during use, increasing the stability of the movable pipe during installation with the mist outlet pipe and the first connecting pipe, and preventing the movable pipe from falling off.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the stent is fitted with a handle made of silicone. This handle design makes it easier for patients to grip and use the device.

[0011] Furthermore, a rubber pad is installed on the bottom of the base, and the outer surface of the rubber pad is textured with anti-slip material. The rubber pad increases friction when the base is placed, making it more stable.

[0012] Furthermore, the storage tube has a slot inside, and a retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the base. Through the slot and retaining ring, the retaining ring engages with the slot when the base is installed inside the storage tube, increasing the stability of the base during installation.

[0013] (3) Beneficial effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention involves inserting the ventilation tube into the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge for installation, then placing the ventilation tube inside the tube groove, and finally inserting the base into the bottom of the receiving tube. This allows the ventilation tube and nebulizer cartridge connector to be stored, preventing the ventilation tube from pressing against the nebulizer cartridge and the table surface, making it easy to stand the nebulizer cartridge upright for convenient use. Simultaneously, the weight of the counterweight increases the bottom weight of the nebulizer cartridge when standing, ensuring its stability. By installing the two ends of the movable tube to the surfaces of the first connecting tube and the mist outlet tube respectively, and then installing the nebulizing mask onto the second connecting tube, this nebulizer allows for easy adjustment when the patient tilts left or right. Under the rotational installation of the second and first connecting tubes, the weight of the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge pulls the first connecting tube to rotate inside the second connecting tube, keeping the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge at its lowest point. When the patient leans forward or lies flat, the weight of the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge causes it to rotate and move inside the support, ensuring the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge remains at its lowest point. The nebulized medication enters the nebulizer mask through the outlet tube, movable tube, first connecting tube, and second connecting tube for the patient to absorb. This design keeps the nebulizer cartridge in a vertical position, allowing the patient to change various postures for nebulization treatment and ensuring patient comfort during treatment.

[0024] This specific embodiment is a handheld atomizer, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figures 1-7 As shown, the atomizer includes an atomizing cartridge 8, with a mist outlet tube 11 at the top and a receiving tube 9 at the bottom. The outer surface of the receiving tube 9 has a groove 16. A base 17 is located below the receiving tube 9. A bracket 7 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the atomizing cartridge 8. A first connecting tube 5 is installed inside the right end of the bracket 7, and a second connecting tube 4 is rotatably mounted on the right end of the first connecting tube 5. A movable tube 6 is installed inside the bracket 7, and both ends of the movable tube 6 are rotatably mounted to the mist outlet tube 11 and the first connecting tube 5, respectively. An atomizing mask 3 is located on the right side of the second connecting tube 4, and a strap 1 is installed on the outer surface of the atomizing mask 3. A counterweight 19 is installed inside the base 17, and the counterweight 19 is made of stainless steel.

[0025] The atomizing mask 3 has an airbag strip 2 installed on its outer surface. The airbag strip 2 increases patient comfort when wearing the atomizing mask 3. Positioning rods 13 are installed on the outer surfaces of the mist outlet tube 11 and the first connecting tube 5. Positioning plates 12 are installed at both ends of the movable tube 6, and positioning holes 14 are formed on the outer surface of the positioning plates 12. With the positioning rods 13, positioning plates 12, and positioning holes 14, the positioning rods 13 are inserted into the positioning holes 14 for fixation when the positioning plates 12 are pulled, increasing the stability of the movable tube 6 when installed with the mist outlet tube 11 and the first connecting tube 5, and preventing the movable tube 6 from falling off. A handle 10 made of silicone is installed on the outer surface of the bracket 7. The handle 10 facilitates patient gripping and use. A rubber pad 20 is installed on the bottom surface of the base 17, and the outer surface of the rubber pad 20 has anti-slip texture. The rubber pad 20 increases the friction when the base 17 is placed, making it more stable.

[0026] In addition, the storage tube 9 has a slot 15 inside, and a retaining ring 18 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the base 17. With the slot 15 and retaining ring 18, the retaining ring 18 enters the slot 15 when the base 17 is installed inside the storage tube 9, increasing the stability of the base 17 during installation.

[0027] Working principle: When using the nebulizer of this technical solution, the air tube is inserted into the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge 8 for installation. Then, the air tube is placed inside the tube groove 16, and the base 17 is inserted into the bottom of the storage tube 9 for installation. This allows the air tube to be stored in the connection between the air tube and the nebulizer cartridge 8, preventing the air tube from pressing against the nebulizer cartridge 8 and the table surface, making it easy for the nebulizer cartridge 8 to stand upright for convenient use. Simultaneously, the weight of the counterweight 19 increases the bottom weight of the nebulizer cartridge 8 when standing, ensuring its stability. The two ends of the movable tube 6 are respectively installed to the surfaces of the first connecting tube 5 and the mist outlet tube 11, and then the nebulizer mask 3 is installed onto the second connecting tube 4. When using this nebulizer, when... When the patient tilts to the left or right, the rotation of the second connecting tube 4 and the first connecting tube 5 causes the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge 8 to rotate inside the second connecting tube 4, pulling the first connecting tube 5 along with the support 7. This keeps the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge 8 at its lowest point. When the patient leans forward or lies flat, the weight of the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge 8 causes it to rotate and move inside the support 7, keeping the bottom of the nebulizer cartridge 8 at its lowest point. The nebulized medication enters the nebulizer mask 3 through the outlet tube 11, the movable tube 6, the first connecting tube 5, and the second connecting tube 4 for the patient to absorb. This ensures that the nebulizer cartridge 8 remains vertical, allowing the patient to change various positions for nebulization treatment and ensuring the patient's comfort during the treatment.

[0028] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0029] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
