Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology and relates to the improvement of medical nebulization technology, specifically a nebulized gas recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] Nebulizers are important devices for the treatment of respiratory diseases and are also widely used in vaccination and the treatment of various non-respiratory diseases, with a broad market prospect.

[0003] Regarding the working principle of nebulizers: Nebulizers convert liquid medications into tiny aerosol particles through specific methods for patient inhalation. Common compressor nebulizers use the high-speed movement of compressed gas to impact and break down the medication into tiny aerosol particles; ultrasonic nebulizers use ultrasonic energy to cause the liquid medication to vibrate violently, breaking it into countless fine aerosol particles; vibrating sieve nebulizers use ultrasonic vibration on a diaphragm to force the liquid medication through tiny sieve holes of a fixed diameter, releasing it as fine particles. In this process, a large amount of aerosol is inevitably generated.

[0004] In terms of applications, nebulizers are commonly used to treat various upper and lower respiratory system diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, bronchitis, and respiratory infections. It is an important and effective treatment method for respiratory diseases, widely used in hospitals, clinics, and homes. Nebulization therapy has a broad range of applications, including the nebulization of antibiotics for the treatment of acute and chronic respiratory infections. Nebulization allows for localized drug delivery, resulting in rapid efficacy and reducing the metabolic burden on the liver and kidneys.

[0005] With the increasing popularity of nebulizer therapy, public awareness of the risks of aerosol-transmitted diseases has risen. The primary concern is the health hazards, especially during respiratory infectious disease outbreaks when nebulizer use is more frequent, further increasing the risk of aerosol-transmitted diseases. If aerosols contain pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, inhalation by individuals other than patients can lead to infection, posing a serious threat to the health of those around them. If antibiotic aerosols spill into the environment, they can cause bacteria to develop drug resistance, increasing the difficulty of treatment. Aerosol spills can cause widespread transmission, particularly in poorly ventilated indoor environments such as hospitals or clinics. When a patient receives nebulizer treatment, spilled aerosols can easily accumulate in the local space, significantly increasing the likelihood of infection for medical staff, other patients, and even healthy individuals. This can also lead to increased drug resistance in pathogens in the surrounding environment. This risk is particularly pronounced in areas such as respiratory wards.

[0006] In recent years, with increasing emphasis on medical and health safety, relevant departments have formulated a series of regulations and standards requiring medical institutions to take effective measures to prevent aerosol spillage and spread when using equipment such as nebulizers, in order to ensure the safety of medical staff and patients. This has also spurred the development and application of aerosol spill prevention technology for nebulizers.

[0007] Chinese Patent (Application No.: 202322148299.2) discloses an atomization recovery device and an atomizing mouthpiece. The atomization recovery device includes a rear shell, a front shell, and a filter membrane fixed between them. The front shell has an air outlet, and the rear shell has an air inlet. The end of the air inlet pipe connected to the air inlet is a quick-connect interface I, used for detachable connection to a quick-connect interface II on the atomizing mouthpiece. The atomizing mouthpiece includes an inhalation port, an inlet port, an exhalation inhalation port, and an exhalation one-way valve. The exhalation inhalation port of the atomizing mouthpiece has an internal exhalation one-way valve, and an outwardly extending quick-connect interface II is provided at the exhalation inhalation port for detachable connection to the quick-connect interface I on the atomization recovery device. This patent can filter the gas exhaled from the atomizing mouthpiece, preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria. The filter and aerosol inhalation device in this patent are designed separately and need to be combined through a three-way tube to form an aerosol spill prevention device. The structure is cumbersome, the aerosol transmission efficiency is low, and it is inconvenient to use. Moreover, the design of the three-way tube makes it easy for exhaled gas to generate gas resistance at the connection of the three-way tube, which can easily condense into droplets and is not conducive to the recovery of exhaled gas.

[0008] Therefore, there is a need to design an atomized gas recovery device that can prevent aerosol spillage, has a reasonable, simple, and compact structure, high aerosol transmission efficiency, facilitates the recovery of exhaled gas, and is easy to operate. This is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

Apart from the face-contacting surface, the inhalation mask 5 has only one inlet, namely the insertion hole 5.1. The inhalation mask 5 has an inner lip and an outer lip, which can fit very closely to the face, preventing aerosol from leaking out between the inhalation mask and the face. Both inhalation and exhalation of the user are induced by the air flowing through the insertion hole 5.1.

[0045] Specifically: The inhalation component 3.2 is further provided with a one-way valve positioning port 3.16 on its tube body. The exhalation one-way valve 3.11 is provided with a valve plate and a positioning pin. The positioning pin is passed through the one-way valve positioning port 3.16 to achieve relative installation and fixation of the exhalation one-way valve 3.11 and the inhalation component 3.2. The valve plate is placed outside the exhalation port 3.15 and completely covers the exhalation port 3.15. The exhalation one-way valve 3.11 is made of soft elastic material, and the gas exhaled from the inhalation component 3.2 can only be exhaled unidirectionally from the exhalation port 3.15.

The front part of the aforementioned front shell cover 3.1 is frustum-shaped, with the front shell positioning port 3.22 at the front end of the frustum-shaped front shell cover 3.1, where the diameter is smallest. The rear end of the frustum-shaped front shell cover 3.1 is a raised annular outer edge, on which a front shell buckle 3.5 is provided. The aforementioned rear shell 3.3 is annular, with a rear shell buckle 3.4 provided on its outer edge. The front shell and rear shell 3.3 are rotated and fastened together by the front shell buckle 3.5 and the rear shell buckle 3.4, clamping and fixing the filter membrane 4. The filter membrane 4 is annular in shape, including a circular inner diameter and an outer diameter, and is used to filter particles smaller than 1μm, aerosols, bacteria, and viruses.

[0047] Furthermore, the suction component 3.2 and the front housing 3.1 are an integrated structure. The front housing positioning port 3.22 and the first boss 3.12 on the suction component 3.2 are integrally connected, using ultrasonic welding or adhesive bonding. When using ultrasonic welding, a heat-melting rib 3.6 can be provided around the front housing positioning port 3.22, serving as the heat-melting medium during ultrasonic welding to weld the two components. A second boss 3.13 is provided on the suction component 3.2, providing a supporting surface for supporting the inner diameter edge of the filter membrane 4.

[0048] Furthermore, the outer edge of the aforementioned front shell has a front shell filter membrane support surface 3.8 to support the outer diameter edge of the filter membrane 4; the inner ring of the rear shell 3.3 is a rear shell mounting positioning port 3.17, the outer edge of the rear shell 3.3 has a rear shell outer edge filter membrane support surface 3.9 to support the outer diameter of the filter membrane 4, and the edge of the rear shell mounting positioning port 3.17 has a rear shell center filter membrane support surface 3.18 to support the inner diameter of the filter membrane 4; the filter membrane 4 is clamped between the front shell and the rear shell 3.3, and the inner diameter edge and outer diameter edge of the filter membrane 4 form a tight sealing structure under the action of the rear shell center filter membrane support surface 3.18 and the rear shell outer edge filter membrane support surface 3.9, respectively.

[0049] See Figure 9 This invention can also provide an adapter tube 3.24 for the inhalation component 3.2. One end of the adapter tube 3.24 is inserted into one end of the mist inlet 3.23 of the inhalation component 3.2, and the outer diameter of the other end of the adapter tube 3.24 matches the insertion hole 5.1 in the middle of the inhalation mask 5 and is inserted into the insertion hole 5.1 in the middle of the inhalation mask 5. Multiple adapter tubes 3.24 can be provided, and their two ends can also have different diameters, so as to be used with insertion holes 5.1 of different diameters in the middle of the inhalation mask 5.

[0050] See Figures 10-12 This invention provides a second embodiment of an atomized gas recovery device. Embodiment 2 has the same basic structure as Embodiment 1, except that the fixing connection method between the inhalation component 3.2 and the front cover 3.1 is different. The specific structure is as follows:

[0051] In Example 2, the suction component 3.2 and the front cover 3.1 are connected in a detachable manner: a front cover positioning buckle 3.20 is provided on the edge of the front cover positioning port 3.22, and a suction component positioning buckle 3.19 is provided on the first boss 3.12 of the suction component 3.2.

[0052] An extension pipe with a side opening extends from the front housing positioning port 3.22 near the interior of the front housing cover 3.1. The tube of the inhalation component 3.2 passes through the front housing positioning port 3.22 into the extension pipe. With the front housing cover 3.1 of the inhalation component 3.2 in a fixed engaged state, the exhalation port 3.15 on the tube of the inhalation component 3.2 corresponds to the side opening, allowing exhaled air to exit from the exhalation port 3.15 and exit into the interior of the front housing cover 3.1 through the side opening. After being filtered by the filter membrane 4, the air is discharged from the outlet 3.7 of the rear housing 3.3. An inner boss is provided at the other end of the extension pipe away from the front housing positioning port 3.22, providing a supporting surface for supporting the inner diameter edge of the filter membrane 4.

[0053] The front shell has a front shell filter membrane support surface 3.8 on its outer edge to support the outer diameter edge of the filter membrane 4. The rear shell 3.3 is annular in shape. The inner ring of the rear shell 3.3 is the rear shell mounting and positioning port 3.17.

[0054] See Figure 13 , Figure 14 The atomized gas recovery device of this utility model (inhalation mask 5 not shown) is used in conjunction with a nebulizer. The nebulizer includes an atomizing unit, a medicine cup 1, and a mist storage tank 2. The medicine cup 1 is provided with a mist outlet, which is connected to the mist inlet 3.14 of the inhalation component 3.2. After the liquid medicine in the medicine cup 1 is atomized, it generates an aerosol in the mist storage tank 2, and then enters the inhalation component 3.2 through the mist inlet 3.14 and is inhaled by the user. The user's exhaled air passes through the inhalation component 3.2, and is then filtered by the atomized gas recovery device before being discharged into the air.

[0055] See Figure 15 After the entire atomizing gas recovery device of this utility model is connected to the atomizer, the user will experience better results when wearing the inhalation mask 5.
