Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a mask humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] After nasal surgery, patients often require nasal packing to achieve hemostasis through compression. For patients undergoing routine nasal surgery, nasal packing typically lasts up to 48 hours; while for patients undergoing nasal bone correction due to trauma, the packing may remain in place for even longer, up to 72 hours. During this period, because the nasal cavity is occupied by the packing, the patient's normal nasal breathing function is completely obstructed, forcing them to rely on mouth breathing to maintain gas exchange.

[0003] This breathing pattern causes great physiological distress for patients. Even if patients consciously increase their water intake during the day, it is still difficult to relieve the intense dryness of the mouth caused by the rapid evaporation of moisture in the oral cavity due to mouth breathing. Therefore, it is necessary to use a mask-style humidifier to humidify the air entering the mouth.

[0004] Currently available humidifiers exhibit several significant limitations when used for patients with this condition. Their design or usage can obstruct the patient's nose, hindering timely and direct observation of the postoperative condition by medical staff and potentially negatively impacting the wound's healing environment. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a mask humidifier that effectively solves the problems of existing humidifiers being inconvenient to use and obstructing the patient's nose during use, which is not conducive to postoperative recovery.

[0006] The technical solution provided by this utility model is a mask humidifier, comprising:

[0007] The humidifier body has an opening on one side and is designed to fit over the user's mouth. An air inlet is provided on one side wall of the humidifier body.

[0008] A support member is provided inside the humidifier body, and an air intake is provided in the middle of the support member, and a humidification component is provided at the air intake.

[0009] A continuous humidification structure is provided on the support member for continuously humidifying the humidification component.

[0010] Preferably, the humidifying component is gauze.

[0011] Preferably, the continuous humidification structure includes:

[0012] A water storage tank is provided on both sides of the support member and located on both sides of the air intake. The water storage tank has an opening on the side closer to the air intake.

[0013] A sealing plate is detachably connected to the opening of the water storage tank. A water-absorbing cotton thread extending into the interior of the water storage tank is fixedly connected to the sealing plate. The end of the water-absorbing cotton thread away from the water storage tank is fixedly connected to the humidifying component, thereby continuously humidifying the humidifying component.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a connector disposed between the two sealing plates, the upper end of the connector having a groove, and the lower end of the humidifying component being disposed inside the groove.

[0015] Preferably, the water tank is provided with a water injection hole at the upper end, and a sealing cap is threaded onto the water injection hole;

[0016] The humidifier body has a connecting hole that matches the sealing cover.

[0017] Preferably, a filter layer is provided at the air intake.

[0018] Preferably, it also includes a sealing gasket, which is disposed along the edge of the opening of the humidifier body, and the sealing gasket is in contact with the user's skin when the humidifier covers the patient's mouth.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes a fixing strap, the end of which is fixed to the outside of the humidifier body.

[0020] Preferably, the fixing strap is made of elastic.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0022] This invention effectively solves the problem that existing humidifiers obstruct the patient's nose during use, hindering postoperative recovery, by adding a humidifier body, air inlet, support, air intake, humidifying component, water tank, sealing plate, and absorbent cotton thread. Furthermore, the water tank, sealing plate, and absorbent cotton thread ensure continuous humidification of the humidifying component, reducing the impact on patient rest during rest or sleep caused by the humidifying component drying out and thus preventing disruption to humidification.

[0023] This invention is easy to use, simply covering the patient's mouth. While not affecting the humidification of the patient's mouth, it can effectively reduce the impact on the nose and continuously humidify the air around the patient's mouth, greatly improving the humidification effect and usage time.

[0035] Humidifier body 1, with an opening on one side and the humidifier body 1 is designed to fit over the user's mouth, and an air inlet 2 is provided on one side wall of the humidifier body 1;

[0036] The support member 3 is located inside the humidifier body 1. The support member 3 has an air intake 4 in the middle, and the air intake 4 is provided with a humidifying component 5.

[0037] A continuous humidification structure is provided on the support member 3 and is used to continuously humidify the humidification component 5.

[0038] The continuous humidification structure includes:

[0039] Water storage tank 6 is located on both sides of support member 3 and on both sides of air intake 4, with the opening of water storage tank 6 on the side closer to air intake 4.

[0040] The sealing plate 7 is detachably connected to the opening of the water storage tank 6. A water-absorbing cotton thread 8 extending into the water storage tank 6 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 7. The end of the water-absorbing cotton thread 8 away from the water storage tank 6 is fixedly connected to the humidifying component 5, thereby continuously humidifying the humidifying component 5.

[0041] In practice, the humidifier body 1 is placed over the user's mouth. When inhaling, air passes through the air inlet 2 and the humidifying component 5 before entering the patient's mouth, keeping the patient's mouth moist and relieving the symptoms of dry mouth and tongue.

[0042] When in use, fill the water tank 6 with clean water, insert the absorbent cotton thread 8 into the water tank 6, and continuously draw the clean water from the water tank 6 to the humidifying component 5 through the absorbent cotton thread 8 to humidify the humidifying component 5.

[0043] By setting a sealing plate 7 to seal the water storage tank 6, water is prevented from flowing out of the water storage tank 6, so that the water inside the water storage tank 6 can be slowly guided to the humidifying component 5 through the absorbent cotton thread 8 and then wet the humidifying component 5; at the same time, the sealing plate 7 is detachably connected to the water storage tank 6, which makes it easy to replace and remove the sealing plate 7, thereby replacing the new absorbent cotton thread 8 and the humidifying component 5.

[0044] In some embodiments, the humidifying component 5 is gauze. When in use, the gauze absorbs the water guided by the absorbent cotton thread 8, thereby humidifying the gauze and continuously humidifying the air by using the gauze.

[0045] In some embodiments, a connector 9 is also included, disposed between two sealing plates 7, with a groove at the upper end of the connector 9 and the lower end of the humidifying component 5 disposed inside the groove.

[0046] In practice, the lower end of the humidifying component 5 is fixedly connected inside the groove, thereby fixing the position of the humidifying component 5.

[0047] In some embodiments, the upper end of the water storage tank 6 is provided with a water injection hole 11, and a sealing cap 12 is threaded onto the water injection hole 11.

[0048] The humidifier body 1 has a connecting hole 13 that matches the sealing cover 12.

[0049] When in use, remove the support 3 from the humidifier body 1, fill the water tank 6 with water, then install the support 3 into the humidifier body 1 to connect the water inlet 11 and the connecting hole 13. Then, after passing the sealing cap 12 through the connecting hole 13, screw the sealing cap 12 into the water inlet 11 to block the water inlet 11 and fix the support 3 in the current position.

[0050] In some embodiments, a filter layer 14 is provided at the air inlet 4. The filter layer 14 uses filter gauze or filter screen to block foreign objects from entering the humidifier body 1, while not affecting the user's normal breathing.

[0051] In some embodiments, a sealing gasket 15 is also included, which is disposed along the edge of the opening of the humidifier body 1 and fits against the user's skin when the humidifier is placed over the patient's mouth.

[0052] This setting improves the user comfort of the device.

[0053] In some embodiments, a fixing strap 16 is also included, the end of which is fixed to the outside of the humidifier body 1, and the fixing strap 16 is made of elastic band.

[0054] This makes it easy to fix the humidifier body 1 to the patient's mouth.

[0055] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
