Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for lung breathing exercises in tracheotomy patients. Background Technology

[0002] After a tracheotomy, patients require a ventilator to assist breathing at the tracheotomy site to prevent hypoxia. However, prolonged reliance on the ventilator deprives the lungs of exercise. After weaning off the ventilator, lung exercises are necessary to gradually restore lung capacity. Current lung exercise procedures have the following problems:

[0003] 1. During breathing exercises, because the patient's lung capacity recovers gradually, the existing breathing exercise devices cannot adjust the breathing intensity in a timely manner, resulting in the intensity of the breathing exercise devices not being able to adapt to the patient's breathing intensity state in a timely manner.

[0004] 2. If the intensity of training is too high, it can easily lead to breathing difficulties for the patient. If the intensity of training is too low, it will be difficult to fully exercise the patient's lung capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to precisely adjust the difficulty of the assistive device. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary device for lung breathing exercises for tracheotomy patients, which solves the problem that the exercise intensity of existing breathing exercise devices cannot be adjusted.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A lung breathing exercise assist device for tracheostomy patients includes an upper airway tube inserted at the upper end of the tracheostomy port, a lower airway tube located below the upper airway tube, and an adjustment component located between the upper airway tube and the lower airway tube for adjusting the diameter of the tube for airflow in the upper airway tube.

[0008] The adjustment assembly includes a fixed ring disposed between the upper vent pipe and the lower vent pipe, several circumferentially spaced support members fixed on the fixed ring and used to fix and connect the upper vent pipe and the lower vent pipe, several rotating members disposed between adjacent support members and rotatably connected to the fixed ring, several rotating grooves disposed on the lower vent pipe corresponding to each rotating member, several elastic gathering plates disposed on the upper end of the corresponding rotating member and extending into the upper vent pipe corresponding to each rotating member, elastic sealing rings disposed on the inner wall of the upper vent pipe and wrapping the outer wall of each elastic gathering plate, and a control sub-assembly disposed on the upper vent pipe for precisely adjusting the rotation angle of the rotating members.

[0009] Each of the rotating components extends out of the outer wall of the lower vent pipe at its lower end, and each of the elastic retractable plates surrounds and stacks around each other.

[0010] More preferably, the control sub-assembly includes a control sleeve rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the upper vent pipe and threadedly connected to the outer wall of the upper vent pipe at its upper part, a push plate fixed at the lower end of the control sleeve and abutting against the lower end of each rotating component at its upper side, and a pressure reset plate fixed inside the control sleeve and arranged along the vertical direction of the control sleeve.

[0011] More preferably, each of the rotating components has a rounded end at its lower end.

[0012] More preferably, the outer wall of the lower vent pipe is provided with multiple indicator scales arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the lower vent pipe.

[0013] More preferably, the upper end of the upper vent pipe is fixed with a flexible joint.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. When a patient needs to perform lung breathing exercises, this utility model installs the device on the tracheostomy port. By adjusting the components, the diameter of the airway that allows airflow is adjusted according to the patient's lung recovery state. When the diameter of the airway is reduced, the patient needs to exert more force to inhale the same volume of gas into the lungs through the airway, thus achieving the effect of exercising the lungs and breathing. This solves the problem that the intensity of the breathing exercise device cannot be adjusted.

[0016] 2. This utility model rotates the control sleeve, causing it to move up and down gradually along the thread, which in turn drives the rotating part to rotate with the up and down movement of the control sleeve. The rotation angle of the rotating part is controlled by the rotation of the control sleeve, thereby achieving the effect of accurately controlling the diameter of the airflow that can flow in the upper vent pipe.

[0017] 3. This utility model achieves precise and rapid adjustment of the airflow diameter in the upper ventilation tube by rotating the control sleeve until the push plate moves to the corresponding indicated scale position, making it convenient for clinical operators to use.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment of a lung breathing exercise assist device for tracheostomy patients includes an upper ventilation tube 1 inserted at the upper end of the tracheostomy port, a lower ventilation tube 2 located below the upper ventilation tube 1, and an adjustment component 3 located between the upper ventilation tube 1 and the lower ventilation tube 2 for adjusting the diameter of the tube for airflow in the upper ventilation tube 1.

[0027] The adjustment assembly 3 includes a fixed ring 31 disposed between the upper vent pipe 1 and the lower vent pipe 2; a plurality of circumferentially spaced support members 32 fixed on the fixed ring 31 and used to fix and connect the upper vent pipe 1 and the lower vent pipe 2; a plurality of rotating members 33 respectively disposed between adjacent support members 32 and rotatably sleeved and connected to the fixed ring 31; a plurality of rotating grooves 34 corresponding to each rotating member 33 and disposed on the lower vent pipe 2; a plurality of elastic gathering plates 35 corresponding to each rotating member 33 and fixed on the upper end of the corresponding rotating member 33 and extending into the upper vent pipe 1; an elastic sealing ring 36 fixed on the inner wall of the upper vent pipe 1 and wrapped around the outer wall of each elastic gathering plate 35; and a control sub-assembly 37 disposed on the upper vent pipe 1 and used to precisely adjust the rotation angle of the rotating members 33.

[0028] Each rotating component 33 extends out of the outer wall of the lower vent pipe 2 at its lower end, and each elastic gathering plate 35 is arranged to surround each other in a ring and stacked on top of each other.

[0029] When using this product, connect the device to the tracheostomy port. During breathing exercises, pull the lower ends of each rotating component 33 outwards, causing the elastic retractable plate 35 at the upper end of the rotating component 33 to retract towards the central axis of the upward air passage 1, thus causing the elastic retractable plate 35 to change from its original state. Figure 4 Towards Figure 5As the state changes, the elastic sealing ring 36 contracts and wraps around the outer wall of each elastic retractable plate 35, so that when the patient inhales, the gas can only flow through the annular hollow channel between each elastic retractable plate 35. By adjusting the diameter of the hollow channel, the strength required for the patient to inhale can be adjusted, thus solving the problem that the intensity of the exercise cannot be adjusted in existing breathing exercise devices.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the control sub-assembly 37 includes a control sleeve 371 that is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the upper vent pipe 1 and threadedly connected to the outer wall of the upper vent pipe 1 at its upper part, a push plate 372 that is fixed at the lower end of the control sleeve 371 and abuts against the lower end of each rotating component 33 at its upper side, and a pressure reset plate 373 that is fixed inside the control sleeve 371 and arranged along the vertical direction of the control sleeve 371.

[0031] When using this product, to adjust the patient's inhalation difficulty, rotating the control sleeve 371 causes it to move upwards along the thread direction. This moves the indicator push plate 372 upwards, causing the lower end of the rotating component 33, which abuts against the upper part of the push plate 372, to move away from the central axis of the upper ventilation tube 1. This causes the upper end of the rotating component 33 to drive the corresponding elastic contraction plate 35 to contract inwards, resulting in a gradual decrease in the diameter of the ring formed by the various elastic contraction plates 35 within the upper ventilation tube 1. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the control sleeve 371 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the control sleeve 371 to move downward, which in turn causes the lower reset plate 373 to move downward and abut against the lower outer wall of each rotating component 33. This pushes the lower end of the rotating component 33 downward, causing it to move closer to the central axis of the upper vent pipe 1. As a result, the diameter of the ring formed by the elastic gathering plates 35 inside the upper vent pipe 1 gradually increases, achieving the effect of precisely adjusting the difficulty of inhalation.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each rotating component 33 has a rounded end at its lower end.

[0033] The rounded end of this product prevents jamming between the lower end of the rotating part 33 and the push plate 372 during rotation.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple indicator scales 4 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the lower vent pipe 2 on the outer wall of the lower vent pipe 2.

[0035] When using this product, the operator rotates the control sleeve 371 until the push plate 372 moves to the corresponding indicator scale 4 position. The difficulty of inhalation faced by the patient corresponds to the corresponding indicator scale 4, which allows the operator to adjust the inhalation difficulty of the device in a timely and quick manner according to the patient's actual recovery status.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an elastic joint 5 is fixed at the upper end of the upper vent pipe 1.

[0037] When using this product, the device is installed on the tracheostomy port through the elastic connector 5. The elastic connector 5 is used to wrap and seal the connection to prevent gas leakage when the patient inhales.

[0038] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0039] Step 1: Remove the ventilator extension tube from the tracheostomy port and connect the upper end of the upper ventilation tube 1 to the tracheostomy port through the elastic connector 5 above.

[0040] Step 2: During breathing exercises, by holding the lower ventilation tube 2, rotate the control sleeve 371, causing it to move upwards along the thread direction. This pushes the lower ends of each rotating component 33 onto the push plate 372, causing them to rotate away from the lower ventilation tube 2. This causes the elastic closing plates 35 at the upper ends of each rotating component 33 to close towards the central axis of the upper ventilation tube 1. At this time, the elastic sealing rings 36 surrounding each elastic closing plate 35 contract inwards synchronously with the closing of the elastic closing plates 35. This allows the gas in the upper ventilation tube 1 to pass only through the hollow sections between the elastic closing plates 35. As the control sleeve 371 moves upwards, the hollow diameter continuously decreases, the gas flow channel spacing decreases, and the force required for the patient to inhale gradually increases, causing the internal structure of the device to... Figure 4 Towards Figure 5 State change.

[0041] Step 3: During the upward movement of the control sleeve 371, the push plate 372 moves upward along the outer wall of the lower ventilation tube 2, so that each indicator scale 4 is exposed in sequence. The operator adjusts the push plate 372 to the appropriate indicator scale 4 position based on the patient's lung recovery state, so that the patient can perform breathing exercises that are appropriate to their physical condition.

[0042] Step 4: Sometimes, the control sleeve 371 slides too far upwards, causing the rotating part 33 to rotate too much, indicating that the diameter of the gas flow channel in the upper ventilation tube 1 is too small. At this time, the control sleeve 371 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the control sleeve 371 moves downwards along the upper ventilation tube 1, thereby synchronously driving the lower reset plate 374 to move downwards, pressing down on the extended parts of each rotating part 33, thereby driving the lower end of the rotating part 33 to move in the direction of the central axis of the lower ventilation tube 2, thereby driving the elastic closing plate 35 to open the elastic sealing ring 36 outwards, thereby increasing the diameter of the hollow flow channel between each elastic closing plate 35 in the upper ventilation tube 1, so that the operator can repeatedly adjust the diameter of the hollow flow channel between the elastic closing plates 35 to suit the actual physical condition of the patient by rotating the control sleeve 371.

[0043] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
