Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nebulization technology, specifically referring to a nebulization device for breathing in elderly patients. Background Technology
[0002] With the aging population, the number of elderly patients with respiratory diseases is increasing. Nebulized inhalation therapy has become a common treatment for respiratory diseases in the elderly due to its high efficiency and rapid onset of action. For example, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), nebulized bronchodilators and corticosteroids can dilate the airways and reduce inflammation; in patients with pneumonia, nebulized antibiotics and expectorants can increase the local drug concentration in the lungs and promote expectoration.
[0003] However, the existing nebulizers are inconvenient to adjust, cannot be precisely adjusted for the stage of the disease and the individual patient, and the adjustment process is complicated. The adjustment buttons are not user-friendly, and elderly patients are prone to misoperation due to decreased vision and hand dexterity, which affects the treatment effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problem of inconvenient mist volume adjustment in existing nebulizers, this invention provides a nebulizer for elderly patients' breathing.
[0005] To achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A nebulizer for breathing in elderly patients includes a nebulizer, a nebulizing tube connected to the top of the nebulizer, a nebulizing mask inserted into the end of the nebulizing tube, an adjustment mechanism provided on the nebulizing tube, the adjustment mechanism including an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, the outer cylinder being sleeved on the nebulizing tube, the inner cylinder being connected to the nebulizing tube, a first blocking block fixed on the inner side wall of the outer cylinder, a second blocking block fixed on the side of the inner cylinder, and the second blocking block being rotatably connected to the first blocking block.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a circular groove is provided on the inner wall of the outer cylinder, and the inner cylinder is connected to the outer cylinder through the circular groove.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the outer cylinder wall, and a button that penetrates the arc-shaped groove is installed on the outer side wall of the inner cylinder, and the button is movably disposed in the arc-shaped groove.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the first blocking block and the second blocking block are composed of two fan-shaped structures with opposite sharp corners and an included angle of 90°.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the atomizer is provided with an L-shaped support at the bottom, and a plastic clamp is provided at the top of the L-shaped support, and the atomizer is installed in the plastic clamp.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the atomizing tube is equipped with a telescopic corrugated tube made of medical-grade silicone, the atomizing tube is made of polypropylene, and the atomizing mask is made of medical-grade soft polyurethane.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects by adopting the above structure:
[0012] By adjusting the mechanism, precise control of the nebulization flow rate is achieved. Compared with traditional nebulizers that are difficult to adjust the flow rate flexibly, the outer and inner cylinders of the adjustment mechanism in this invention work together. By gently pushing the button on the outer wall of the inner cylinder, the unique fan-shaped structure of the first and second blocking blocks can precisely change the flow area inside the nebulizer tube based on the change of their overlapping area. This allows for convenient provision of appropriate nebulization flow rates for elderly patients at different treatment stages, significantly improving the treatment effect and targeting.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a nebulizer for elderly patients, including a nebulizer 1; the nebulizer 1 has an L-shaped support 12 at the bottom and a plastic clamp 13 at the top of the L-shaped support 12. The nebulizer 1 is installed in the plastic clamp 13. This design not only ensures the stability of the nebulizer 1 but also facilitates movement and placement, meeting the needs of elderly patients in different scenarios. The top of the nebulizer 1 is connected to a nebulizing tube 2, and a nebulizing mask 3 is inserted into the end of the nebulizing tube 2; a telescopic corrugated tube 14 is installed on the nebulizing tube 2, which is made of medical-grade silicone. The telescopic nature of the corrugated tube allows the length of the nebulizing tube 2 to be adjusted according to the patient's posture requirements; the nebulizing tube 2 is made of polypropylene, which is not easily deformed by frequent bending; the nebulizing mask 3 is made of medical-grade soft polyurethane, which is soft, breathable, can distribute pressure, reduce pressure, and avoid stuffiness and discomfort; an adjustment mechanism 4 is provided on the nebulizing tube 2.
[0021] The adjustment mechanism 4 includes an outer cylinder 5 and an inner cylinder 6. The outer cylinder 5 is fitted onto the nebulizer tube 2, and the inner cylinder 6 is connected to the nebulizer tube 2. A first blocking block 7 is fixed on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 5, and a second blocking block 8 is fixed on the side of the inner cylinder 6. The second blocking block 8 is rotatably connected to the first blocking block 7. Both the first blocking block 7 and the second blocking block 8 are composed of two fan-shaped structures with opposite sharp corners and an included angle of 90°. In the initial state, the two blocking blocks partially overlap, resulting in a small flow area. As the inner cylinder 6 rotates, the overlapping area decreases, the flow area increases, and the drug flow rate increases accordingly. By gradually changing the overlapping area of the two blocking blocks, the flow area and drug flow rate within the nebulizer tube 2 are adjusted. This design achieves precise limitation of the relative rotation angle between the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 5, thereby precisely adjusting the nebulization flow rate to meet the personalized needs of elderly patients for nebulization flow rate at different treatment stages.
[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, a circular groove 9 is provided on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 5. The inner cylinder 6 is connected to the outer cylinder 5 through the circular groove 9. The outer diameter of the inner cylinder 6 is precisely matched with the inner diameter of the circular groove 9, which ensures a certain amount of friction to maintain the stability of the relative position, and does not hinder the rotation due to excessive friction.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an arc-shaped groove 10 is provided on the wall of the outer cylinder 5, and a button 11 is installed on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 6 through the arc-shaped groove 10. The button 11 is movably set in the arc-shaped groove 10. The user can drive the inner cylinder 6 to rotate relative to the outer cylinder 5 by gently pushing the button 11. This simple and intuitive operation method reduces the difficulty of use, conforms to the operating habits of elderly patients, and enables them to easily adjust the atomization flow according to their own needs.
[0024] In practical use, first place the L-shaped support 12 in a stable and dry place, then insert the nebulizer 1 into the plastic clamp 13, ensuring it is secure. Next, connect one end of the nebulizer tube 2 tightly to the top interface of the nebulizer 1, and firmly insert the other end into the interface of the nebulizer mask 3. During use, according to the treatment needs of elderly patients and medical orders, gently push the button 11 on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 6 to adjust the nebulization flow rate. First, adjust the flow rate to a small size to observe the patient's adaptation, then adjust it to a suitable size, allowing the patient to choose a comfortable posture, such as semi-reclining or sitting, and stretching or compressing the tube. Adjust the length and angle of the nebulizer tube 2 using the corrugated tube 14 to ensure the mask fits comfortably close to the face without obstructing breathing. Then, turn on the nebulizer 1. The patient should fit the mask tightly against their mouth and nose and inhale the nebulized medication through their mouth. If discomfort is felt during treatment, the patient can pause and adjust the mask. At the end of the treatment, first turn off the power to the nebulizer 1, then remove the nebulizer mask 3 from the nebulizer tube 2. Remove the nebulizer tube 2, rinse the nebulizer mask 3, nebulizer tube 2, and the retractable corrugated tube 14 with clean water, and then let them air dry. Finally, store the nebulizer 1 and all components in a dry and clean place for future use.
[0025] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
