[0002] A breathing trainer is an instrument designed to enhance respiratory function and increase lung capacity. It works by simulating specific breathing patterns to exercise lung muscles, thereby improving breathing efficiency and maintaining lung health. In the Chinese market, a common type of breathing trainer is the three-ball breathing trainer, which works by using inhalation and exhalation to make the balls float, thus exercising the lung muscles.

[0003] However, existing three-ball breathing trainers have several shortcomings: First, due to the large size of the floats, although the trainer is equipped with scales, their indicating accuracy is not ideal; second, it is difficult for users to clearly observe the specific scale position of the floats during use, which affects the accuracy of training; and third, because the trainer shares a single corrugated hose, moisture carried in exhaled air can adhere to the hose or the inner wall of the trainer, which may lead to the re-inhalation of moisture during inhalation, posing a potential health risk. These problems are particularly prominent when training breathing techniques for pneumonia patients, as their respiratory function is already weakened, requiring even higher precision and hygiene from the training equipment.

[0004] Therefore, a respiratory training device for patients with pneumonia in the respiratory medicine department is provided. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] The embodiments will be described in detail below to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention:

[0027] A respiratory training device for patients with pneumonia in the respiratory medicine department, such as Figs. 1 to 4As shown, a control base 1 is provided, on which training components are detachably mounted. The training components consist of an expiratory training column 2 and an inspiratory training column 3. This separate design of the expiratory and inspiratory training columns 3 avoids cross-contamination between exhaled and inhaled air. An expiratory slide 4 and an inspiratory slide 5 are respectively installed inside the expiratory training column 2 and inspiratory training column 3. Each can be independently connected to a flexible tube, ensuring that the gases do not interfere with each other during exhalation and inhalation, thus guaranteeing the hygiene of the training. When air is blown onto the expiratory training column 2, the expiratory slide 4 slides internally; when air is inhaled onto the inspiratory training column 3, the inspiratory slide 5 slides internally. The control base 1 is equipped with an infrared sensor 6 to monitor the movement of the expiratory slide 4 and inspiratory slide 5. The infrared sensor 6 can accurately monitor the movement of the slides, thereby obtaining relevant data on the patient's breathing and providing a basis for evaluating the training effect. Compared to the traditional observation method, this method not only eliminates the operational difficulties, but also allows training status to be reported simply by listening to the loudspeaker.

[0028] Furthermore, the expiratory training column 2 and the inspiratory training column 3 are integrated and mounted on the slide plate 7, with at least two expiratory training columns 2 and at least two inspiratory training columns 3. This design of multiple training columns allows patients to undergo training at different intensities and modes, meeting the individualized needs of different patients.

[0029] The exhalation training column 2 is equipped with an exhalation manifold 8, which has an exhalation connector 9 for connecting an external hose. The exhalation manifold 8 is connected to the bottom of the exhalation training column 2 via a sliding plate 7. The design of the exhalation manifold 8 and the connector facilitates hose connection and replacement, improving the ease of use of the device. During exhalation, the gas flows through the bottom of the exhalation training column 2, pushing the exhalation slide 4 and causing it to move.

[0030] An inhalation training column 3 is equipped with an inhalation manifold 10, which has an inhalation connector 11 for connecting an external hose. One end of the inhalation manifold 10 has an extension manifold 12, one end of which is connected to the upper end of the inhalation training column 3. The design of the inhalation manifold 10 and the extension manifold 12 optimizes the inhalation path, making the inhalation process smoother. During inhalation, the inhalation slide 5 inside the inhalation training column 3 is drawn in from above, causing the inhalation slide 5 to move.

[0031] The exhalation training column 2 is equipped with an exhalation channel 13, which is located at the upper end of the exhalation training column 2. The inhalation training column 3 is equipped with an inhalation channel 14, which is located at the lower end of the inhalation training column 3. The channel design helps to balance the air pressure, ensure the stability of the slider movement, and thus improve the accuracy of the monitoring data.

[0032] Furthermore, limiting structures can be set inside the exhalation training column 2 and the inhalation training column 3 respectively, thereby restricting the movement position of the exhalation slide 4 and the inhalation slide 5, and avoiding obstructing the conduction effect of the exhalation channel 13 and the inhalation channel 14. The specific structural settings can be adjusted according to the actual use.

[0033] The control base 1 is equipped with a slide table 15, and each side of the slide table 15 has a snap-fit ​​groove 16. Each end of the slide plate 7 has a snap-fit ​​edge block 17. The slide plate 7 is detachably mounted on the slide table 15 via the snap-fit ​​edge blocks 17. This detachable connection method facilitates the installation, disassembly, and replacement of training components, and makes the equipment maintenance and cleaning easier.

[0034] Infrared sensors 6 are mounted on the surface of the slide table 15 via lenses. The infrared sensors 6 are located at the bottom of the exhalation training column 2 and the inhalation training column 3, respectively. The infrared sensors 6 illuminate the bottom of the exhalation slide 4 and the inhalation slide 5 through the slide plate 7. By mounting the infrared sensors 6 with lenses and placing them in specific positions, the movement of the slides can be monitored more accurately, improving the precision of data acquisition.

[0035] The control base 1 is equipped with a switch button 18, and speakers 19 are installed at both ends of the control base 1 to broadcast the monitoring data of the infrared sensor 6. The switch button 18 facilitates the start and stop of the device, while the speakers 19 can broadcast the monitoring data in voice form, allowing patients to understand their breathing status at any time during training without having to manually check the data or observe the training area, thus improving ease of use.

[0036] Workflow: When using this breathing training device, first insert appropriate tubing into the expiratory port 9 and the inspiratory port 11 respectively. The patient turns on the switch button 18, the device starts, and the infrared sensor 6 begins to work. The patient blows air into the expiratory training column 2 through the tubing, and the expiratory slide 4 slides upward within the expiratory training column 2. The infrared sensor 6 monitors the movement of the expiratory slide 4 and transmits the data to the processing unit in the control base 1. Simultaneously, the patient inhales into the inspiratory training column 3 through the other tubing, and the inspiratory slide 5 slides upward within the inspiratory training column 3. The infrared sensor 6 also monitors the movement of the inspiratory slide 5.

[0037] The processing unit within the control base 1 analyzes and processes the data transmitted from the infrared sensor 6, and then broadcasts relevant data on exhalation and inhalation, such as expiratory volume, inhalation volume, expiratory rate, and inhalation rate, through the speaker 19. Patients can use this data to understand their breathing status and adjust the intensity and rhythm of their breathing.

[0038] After training, turn off switch 18, unplug the hose from the connector, and clean and disinfect the equipment for next use.

[0039] In summary, the respiratory training device for pneumonia patients provided by this utility model, with its independently set expiratory training column 2 and inspiratory training column 3 each connected to an external hose, effectively avoids cross-contamination between exhaled and inhaled air, solves the problems existing in current respiratory trainers, and provides pneumonia patients with an efficient, hygienic, and personalized respiratory training device.
